Chapter 880: Capture Chenggu
"Sir, someone is coming from the Ziwu Valley Pass."
News of Ziwu Valley quickly reached the Chenggu County Magistrate.
"Is there anyone at the Ziwu Valley Pass?
what's the situation?
Bring someone here."
When the county magistrate heard the battle report from the Ziwu Valley Pass, he was stunned and immediately brought someone in to answer the question.
"Sir, an enemy army has appeared outside Ziwu Valley, numbering at least 20,000 to 30,000 people. The captain said that he will try his best to resist it, so he asked you to make preparations in advance."
The soldier who came to deliver the message knelt directly in front of the county magistrate, his face full of anxiety.
"What?
Enemy troops and horses appeared in Ziwu Valley, and there are still 20,000 to 30,000 people?"
After hearing what the scout said, the county magistrate stood up directly, looking seriously frightened.
"Well, I hope you will make preparations in advance."
The scout knocked his head to the ground.
"The county captain, where is the county captain?"
At this time, the county magistrate did not dare to neglect and directly looked for the county captain.
"I'll send someone to find the county captain immediately."
After hearing the county magistrate's words, the boy next to him immediately clasped his fists at the magistrate, and then left immediately to look for the magistrate.
The county captain got the news and quickly rushed to the county government office.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
The county captain was immediately stunned.
"Immediately prepare for defense and order the soldiers to mount the city wall. Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses came out from Ziwu Valley."
The county magistrate directly informed the county captain of the news that Tai Shici had been killed.
"what did you say?
Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses came out from Ziwu Valley, is this impossible?"
After hearing what the county magistrate said, the county captain was immediately stunned. Yuan Shu's troops and horses crossed hundreds of miles across the Ziwu Valley. Is this possible?
Anyway, he didn't believe it.
"Stop talking, quickly organize your troops and march to the city. The enemy will probably be out in a short time."
To be honest, the county magistrate did not believe that the enemy could actually cross the Ziwu Valley, but the fact was the fact. The enemy was about to come and kill him. If the pass had not reported the news first, he might have been attacked without any defense.
"Okay, I'll arrange for people to mount the city wall right away."
Although he didn't believe it, since the county magistrate said it, it was true even if he didn't believe it, so he left without hesitation and organized troops to climb the city wall.
Chenggu did not have many soldiers and horses, only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and these soldiers and horses were all new troops with no combat experience at all. After receiving the news from the county captain, they started to climb the city wall in a panic.
In two hours, Taishi Ci's army ran fifty miles and reached the front of Chenggu County. Looking at the soldiers on the city wall, Taishi Ci rode his horse directly to the bottom of the city wall.
"I am Tai Shici, under the command of Jizhou Mu, leading a large army. If you know what I am doing, I will open the city and surrender immediately, otherwise the defenders will die when the city is broken."
Taishi Ci shouted loudly to the soldiers on the city wall.
"County Lieutenant, what should I do?"
After hearing Tai Shici's words, the soldiers on the city wall exploded. Although they are now soldiers, they have not sacrificed their lives for Zhang Lu. People have said that if they don't open the city and surrender, then the army will die if they break the city.
"what to do?
What do you think we should do?"
The county captain was also extremely irritated. They only had a few thousand people. Although they had the bonus of city walls, they were just a group of farmers who had just put down their hoes and picked up weapons. Facing the elite soldiers on the opposite side, they might not be able to stop a single charge.
"How about we surrender?"
A village chief came close to the county captain and spoke to the school captain with an ugly look on his face.
"I'm afraid the county magistrate won't agree to surrender."
To be honest, the county captain didn't want to fight, but if he surrendered, the county magistrate would definitely not give up.
"Haha, do you think the county magistrate is still useful after the city gate is opened?
The first thing we have to do now is to save our own lives, otherwise we will be completely ruined when the enemy attacks the city."
The commander of the village looked at the captain and asked, "Why do you care about the county magistrate now? If Yuan Shu's army enters the city, I'm afraid the county magistrate will not be able to protect himself."
"Okay, then Kaicheng will surrender immediately."
After listening to the commander's words, the captain woke up from a dream. Yes, now Yuan Shu's army is approaching, and as long as his troops enter the city, the county magistrate himself will not be able to protect himself. He is afraid of him.
"promise."
Just when the county magistrate was preparing to surrender in Kaicheng, the magistrate had already harnessed his chariot and horses and escaped through the west gate under the protection of more than a dozen servants.
"Crunch."
The city gate of Chenggu County slowly opened in front of Taishi Ci, and the county captain led the soldiers guarding the city out of the city gate.
"Chenggu County Lieutenant Zhang Bing led all the soldiers in the city to surrender to the general."
County Lieutenant Zhang Bing and his fellow village commanders knelt on the ground and surrendered to Tai Shici.
"You saved yourself and the entire city's soldiers."
Taishi Ci looked at Zhang Bing who was kneeling on the ground and nodded to him.
"Enter the city."
Then he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to enter the city. In this way, he captured Chenggu without any blood and at the same time saved the lives of this strange soldier.
After capturing Chenggu, Taishi Ci did not act rashly, and the army temporarily rested in the city. After all, they were too tired from the journey.
Just when Taishi Ci took down Chenggu for training, Ju Yi finally crossed the mountains after more than ten days of traveling, and then rushed to Dingjun Mountain to garrison without stopping. At the same time, he sent soldiers to start robbing Mianyang and transporting them to Yangping Pass.
Convoy of supplies.
"General, something bad has happened. The supplies shipped from Mianyang have been robbed."
A soldier covered in blood rushed into Yangping Pass and reported to Zhang Wei that the supply convoy had been robbed.
"What did you say?
Robbed?
Where can a thief be so bold as to rob me, Zhang Wei, of my supplies?"
When he heard that the supply convoy was robbed, Zhang Wei immediately exploded. Hanzhong was his eldest brother's territory. What blind thief dared to disturb Tai Sui's head was really outrageous.
"General, they are not thieves. I think they are regular troops."
The soldier thought for a moment and explained directly to Zhang Wei.
"Regular army?"
Zhang Wei is a little stupid now, regular army?
How could there be other regular troops besides his own troops in Hanzhong? He was a little doubtful.
"Yes, their armor is more professional than ours. They are definitely not comparable to ordinary bandits. They must be regular troops."
The soldier nodded to Zhang Wei, and his several hundred bodyguards were immediately dispersed by a wave of others, and all the food and grass they escorted were robbed. It would be impossible for ordinary bandits to have such fighting power.
"General, this matter cannot be underestimated. We need to send someone to investigate it carefully."
The general beside Zhang Wei frowned and spoke to Zhang Wei.
"Where did their people go after they robbed food and grass?"
Now that the soldier confirmed it, Zhang Wei knew something might be going on, so he rushed to the soldier and asked more questions.
"It seems that the direction of retreat is towards Dingjun Mountain."
The soldier thought for a moment and then gave his answer.
“Dingjun Mountain?
It’s troublesome.”
Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard that the people on the Liangdao Road had gone to Dingjun Mountain. Dingjun Mountain is located between Yangpingguan and Mianyang. If an enemy army appeared there, they could easily cut off Mianyang.
If the supplies are cut off at the Yangpingguan passage, then Yuan Shu's army outside the city will not need to attack, and he will starve to death.
"Brother, let me go to Dingjun Mountain to investigate. If it is really the enemy's troops, then we will have to find a way out early."
Zhang Wei's brother Zhang Ying directly clasped his fist at him and wanted to take people to investigate the military situation.
"Well, then you take two thousand people to investigate. If it is really a regular army, don't be impulsive. Come back and report to me immediately."
