Lu Qian commanded an army of tens of thousands. He followed the Chi Road and arrived at Chu County in just over an hour.
Outside the city of Weijun, which was dozens of miles in radius, there were indeed nearly 100,000 rebels holding banners gathered outside the city, and all of them were wearing armor and were well-equipped.
Lu Qian couldn't help but glance at Lu Jun.
How long did it take to prepare for today's plan for the Great Vajra Temple and the Buddhist gate behind the Great Vajra Temple?
It is not difficult to mobilize ordinary people to rebel.
With the hypnotic power of religion and the excessive taxation and extortion by literary and religious gentlemen, it is very easy for the people to be incited.
But what about these ordnance? Even if they wiped out the city defense army in Chujun City, the city defense army garrison in Chujun City only had 10,000 people. Where did the nearly 100,000 sophisticated ordnance and armor come from?
The army rushed towards them. Among the mobs, a burly man wearing black armor and riding a tall and strong wild boar immediately led more than a thousand cavalry and rushed forward waving a big sword.
Lu Qian was shocked, this guy was actually riding a wild boar?
Moreover, this wild boar runs like the wind, not much slower than the blood-hoofed black pig!
Lu Jun had already led a thousand wolf cavalry to meet him.
He was riding a wolf and just crossed paths with the burly man. The horse's spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake. He passed through the burly man's wildly waving sword like lightning and hit the opponent's throat with one blow. The horse's spear swiped left and right, and a good man's head was high.
Fly high.
The Thousand Canglang Cavalry also leveled their horses and charged towards the more than a thousand scattered mobs. Immediately, seven to eight hundred of the mobs were stabbed down by the horses.
The mob whistled and made a noise, then turned their horses and walked away.
Someone was yelling, ‘The general is dead, the general was killed by officers and soldiers’!
The camp of rebels surrounding Weijun City exploded with a crash, and then they saw flags and flags waving, and groups of rebels retreated hastily towards the east, quickly away from Weijun City.
Lu Jun and Lu Yi led the Canglang Cavalry in pursuit, and chased them for more than thirty miles, beheading two to three thousand heads, and then slowly retreated.
The gates of Weijun City were opened, and the county governor, Lu?, with a smile on his face, came out with a group of subordinate officers.
Lu Yi reined in his mount and faced the returning Lu Jun. Lu Yi frowned and said, "After all, we are common people. If we run away, why are our two brothers chasing after us?"
Seeing Lu Qian like this, Lu Jun hurriedly shook his head and whispered: "We only kill those who wear helmets and armor... They distribute weapons and armor according to rules - prisoners robbed from county jails
, the green-skinned scoundrels in the local area, as well as the horse thieves and bandits who robbed homes and houses, are all these people."
He patted Lu Qian's shoulder hard and said with a smile: "Buddhism is still about 'compassion' after all. If it were replaced by those guys from the devil's path, hehe."
Only then did Lu Qian smile slightly.
He turned back and looked to the west. A bright sun was crossing the sky, moving slowly to the west.
The trajectory of the sun is unstoppable. Just like the plans of the three religions, Lu Qian can only follow the trend in this world of great conflict with his meager strength.
Long bamboo poles were erected, and the heads of the beheaded rebels were poked on the flagpole. Blood flowed from the neck, dyeing the green bamboo poles dark red.
The army was camped outside the city, and Lu asked people to bring food, wine and meat to work for the army.
Generals such as Lu Qian, Lu Jun, and Lu Yi brought a full set of honor guards and followed Lu Qian into the city. Wherever Lu Qian's staff, large banner, and Qingluo umbrella went, the expressions of many officials in the city suddenly changed.
, hurriedly lowered his head, fearing that Lu? would catch him as a typical example.
That night, Lu Qian and others quietly left the city and went straight to Anping Pass.
They wore ordinary city defense armor and wrapped their faces with long scarves, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
On the way, Lu Jun also found a thin bamboo pole and raised a red lotus flag.
Inside Anping Pass, Wang Pu, Zhuge Li and other generals from the pacifying army gathered together, all of them looking extremely ugly.
They were still slow to arrive. After Zhuge Li's vanguard army entered Anping Pass, they sent out sentries to reconnoiter along the valley. They traveled more than 300 miles and found a very narrow place in the valley, which was only about five or six miles wide.
In this place, a large army of rioters has actually occupied this place.
When the sentry arrived, the rioters were noisily cutting down trees, transporting rocks, and building defense lines with great fanfare.
In the valley, they have dug three consecutive trenches that are several feet wide and three feet deep, cutting off the traffic in the valley. To the west of the trench, a wooden and stone structure, an extremely simple city wall, has been built more than two feet.
high.
Wang Pu looked at the Anpingguan generals who belonged to various cultural and educational families sitting in the lobby, and couldn't help but angrily yelled: "They are building a lot of construction over there, haven't you noticed at all these days?"
An official of the Wang family who had the same clan as Wang Pu laughed dryly: "In Anping Prefecture, the rebels have besieged many counties and counties, but they only besieged them but did not attack them. Every day, the news sent by the Falcon Eagle was just to report safety, and at the same time, it urged the anti-rebellion troops to enter Anping quickly.
state."
With a dry cough, the Wang official looked at Wang Pu and said helplessly: "Who knew that those rogue people were so cunning. Instead of attacking the city and plundering money and food, they came here to block the valley road?"
Wang Pu's face darkened.
The rioters behaved this way, which shows that there are some masters among the rioters.
They surrounded many cities without attacking them, but they actually went to the west of Anping Pass to build defensive facilities.
Do the rebels want to completely occupy Anping Prefecture?
"We can't wait any longer. Nephew Zhuge, your vanguard army left Anping Pass overnight and directly attacked the defense line being built by the rebels. We must not let them actually build another Anping Pass halfway out." Wang Pu quickly gave the order: "The main force
The army built ladders, piled earth and rocks, and crossed Anping Pass overnight."
When he issued the second order, Wang Pu himself felt funny.
Anping Pass is ten miles wide, but has only one small city gate - this was originally intended to block news about Anping Prefecture and make Anping Prefecture a paradise for cultural and educational families.
But he didn't expect that one day, Anping Pass would block the path of his army to quell the rebellion.
Of course, the quelling army under Wang Pu's command did not have as many as 6 million people - this account was reported to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the General. But the main force of the quelling army under Wang Pu's command also numbered 2 million.
So huge.
Although four million heads of soldiers were paid for free, if the two million soldiers who suppressed the rebellion could only pass through that small city gate, you wouldn't be able to finish the journey in less than half a month!
Half a month? Half a month is enough time for those rebellious mud-legged people to build a decent defense line.
Wang Pu gave the order and saw that the main force of the anti-rebellion army outside the city sent a large number of manpower to cut down trees in the surrounding mountains and forests, build ladders, and packed bags of soil in sacks and stacked them neatly in Anping.
On both sides of the city wall, small earth slopes were piled up for the quelling army to browse the city wall.
The three of them stood far away, looking at the army that was busy fighting the chaos all night long.
Seeing the main force of the counter-rebellion army piling sacks under the city wall, Lu Yi felt dumbfounded: "These are all talents!"
The checkpoint he built blocked the counter-rebellion army he sent. Such a ridiculous thing, Lu Qian never thought that such a funny thing would happen in his previous life.
In the night, there was movement in the mountains and forests near Lu Qian and the others.
Groups of rioters came over the mountains and ridges with sticks in their mouths and light steps.
In front of the mob, there were groups of strong men wearing heavy armor, disappearing silently in the mountains and forests, wantonly hunting down the night patrol sent by Wang Pu.
The elite soldiers of the city defense system were as vulnerable to these strong men as rabbits under the paws of a tiger.
A series of sounds of shattering bones were heard from all directions. The night patrol sent by Wang Pu was littered with casualties and failed to detect the rapidly approaching mob.
There were still three miles away from Wang Pu's army camp, and the rebels stopped.
They spit out the wooden sticks in their mouths, took out thin bamboo tubes from their waists with great piety, and poured out small pills that were the size of sesame seeds and exuded a strange and strong fragrance.
A group of thousands of rioters stood under the hill where Lu Qian and the others were. These rioters took out the pills. Lu Qian smelled the smell of the pills and felt a wave of heat rush into his body along his nose, stimulating Lu Qian's body.
His energy and blood vibrated violently.
Lu Qian was so cultivated at this moment that just by smelling this fragrance, he could feel his energy and blood boiling.
These rioters are just ordinary people, so you can imagine the effectiveness of this pill on them.
The cry of the old bird came from the forest.
The cries of the old rooks sounded from afar, spreading far away along the mountains.
These rioters took the small pills in their hands one after another. Lu Qian could clearly feel that the auras of these rioters suddenly rose, as if there was a furnace in each person's body that was releasing majestic heat unbridled.
The muscles and bones of the rebels roared, their skin turned light red, blue blood vessels bulged, and their breathing became much heavier.
All this reminded Lu Qian of the more than 10,000 people who attacked Zhuge Li's vanguard army when they first arrived at Anping Pass a few days ago. Their skin was also red, their bodies were hot, and their blood vessels were bulging.
Running like the wind, with infinite power, it caused huge damage to the soldiers of Zhuge Li's vanguard army.
The more than 10,000 rioters caused tens of thousands of casualties to Zhuge Li's vanguard army.
Lu Qian stood on a high place and looked at the surrounding mountains and forests. In the dark mountains and forests, he could see more than twenty groups of rioters, and further away, there were more rioters lurking.
"We can't let Wang Pu and the others pick the fruit of Anping Prefecture." Lu Jun chuckled at Lu Qian and said, "The army that suppressed the rebellion was completely wiped out before they entered Anping Prefecture. Hey, we still have to deal with this mess.
Just clean it up."
Lu Qian nodded slowly.
At the foot of the hill, some rioters heard Lu Qian's laughter, but when they looked up and saw the red lotus flag fluttering on the thin bamboo pole in Lu Jun's hand, the rioters stopped paying attention to them.
A quarter of an hour after taking the pill, the young man began to breathe deeply, his breath was like burning fire.
From all directions, in the mountains and forests, there was suddenly a dense sound of bangs.
‘Bang, bang, bang,’ amidst the sound of bangs, the roars of countless rioters in the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away broke through the quiet night.
"The red lotus appears, enjoy peace!"
"Qingjun side, kill the traitors!"
Thousands of burly men wearing heavy armor led the way, with Yuan Gang gushing out from their bodies like a whirlpool, roaring out of the forest.
Afterwards, the mighty mob rushed out, waving various weapons.
In a mere three to five miles, under the feet of these rioters who had taken pills, they rushed over in an instant.
