"Even outside of Jizhou, we can hear Mr. Lu Zhiying Lantai's reputation and admire him deeply. How high is his reputation in Jizhou? How high is his reputation among civilians?"
Chen Hongyu said in a daze.
"Now that it has gained momentum, with disciples and disciples as its backbone, I think that the Seven Killers Army must be no ordinary people."
Wang Mu heard this, swallowed the drink in his mouth and said: "Why do you think that all parts of Jizhou implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, instead of taking the initiative? Is it not because the local garrison's armaments are lax and the soldiers' combat effectiveness is low.
The border troops that still maintain combat effectiveness cannot be transferred out in a short period of time, and they can only rely on local garrison troops to deal with the rebellion.
Even the current situation is the result of the efforts made by various aristocratic families in Jizhou, large and small, to protect themselves. Otherwise, Jizhou will probably lose contact directly."
As Wang Mu narrated, Chen Hongyu became more and more understanding of the current situation.
After all, the original owner was a dull person, and he also took the time to improve his sexual cultivation and prepared to stay dormant in Wu'an County for a few years. However, he did not expect that the situation in Jizhou would be so corrupt and collapsed to such an extent.
The world has been at peace for hundreds of years, but there are many factions within the local garrison, and there are countless problems, big and small: empty pay, private use of public equipment, etc.
The same is naturally true for Jizhou, where the local garrison has no combat power at all.
Coupled with various taxes and natural disasters in recent years, the entire Jizhou can be said to be in rebellion everywhere.
The Beggar Army and the Seven Killers Army, the largest among the refugee armies, are growing bigger and bigger like a snowball.
Although the weapons of these refugee armies are not as good as those of the local army, they can still be defeated at the cost of human lives. In addition, the conditions at home of the soldiers stationed in these places are not necessarily that good, and they have no fighting spirit.
Everywhere the Begging Army and the Seven Killing Army went, they would pack up refugees and attack the county town, plundering wealthy households to use as military supplies.
In the end, the Beggar Army and the Seven Killing Army annexed the large and small refugee armies. One of them occupied the northern part of Jizhou, and the other occupied the southern part of Jizhou, eyeing the prosperous Qingzhou.
The current situation is that the major aristocratic families in Jizhou rely on their deep foundation and government to hold on in Wubao and important cities. The refugee army has no way to deal with the shrinking aristocratic families and government in Jizhou.
Therefore, Lu Zhiying prepared to go south to Qingzhou.
Fortunately, although the rebellion in Jizhou lasted only half a month, the news had already spread completely.
The Qingzhou Prefectural Mufu, which is paying close attention to the situation in Jizhou, has long mobilized elite garrison troops to station at the border of Qingzhou and Jizhou.
Wang Muzhi was also afraid that the Seven Killers Army would break through the blockade and enter Wu'an County, so he brought a few extra guards and some equipment with him when he came this time.
The Cui family was originally a powerful force in Lin'an County, and the members of the clan could pull out a team of hundreds of people at any time. On weekdays, they had to protect their clan members, so they also had a long line of private soldiers.
Even if the Seven Killers were able to break through the blockade and come to Lin'an, Chen Hongyu would not be afraid.
After all, the scale of these Seven Killing Army would not be much larger after breaking through the blockade.
…
Snowflakes are flying outside, and it's warm as spring inside.
Chen Hongyu was sitting on the bed wearing single clothes, with a long sword in his hand flashing with light, it was the Red Cloud Sword.
Although the cultivation of Xing Dao is different from that of Immortal Dao, it only has a different emphasis on the physical body, soul, mana, and other aspects.
Therefore, the magic weapon can be used no matter which path he practices, which saves him a lot of effort and does not have to find any magic weapon that can only be used in the path of sex.
With the function of connecting the two realms, he could bring the second-level golden scale armor, the red cloud sword, and the third-level Xuanyuan water-controlling bead, so he didn't have to worry about self-protection.
At this moment, a shout came from outside the door: "Sir, the rebels have been discovered."
After hearing this, Chen Hongyu put on his golden scale armor and walked out of the house, and hurried outside together with Wang Mu who walked out of the room next to him.
This is the outskirts of Lin'an County, and there are county soldiers and private soldiers of the Cui family. It should be said that the strength is not weak.
However, they did not know the number of rebels.
"What's going on?" Chen Hongyu asked as he walked towards the stable.
"Originally, the clan set up a large number of sentries for safety reasons. Half an hour ago, we suddenly discovered the surging rebels. The stewards have already gone to summon the clan's disciples and guards."
Hearing this, Chen Hongyu felt a sense of joy. A few days ago, when Wang Mu brought back the news that the Seven Killers were preparing to march south to Qingzhou, the Cui family set up more than ten sentries in Lin'an County.
Once the first floor is discovered, the guards on guard duty will come back on horseback to report.
Along the Lin'an River, there were bursts of fire and gas, illuminating a riverbank.
There are hundreds of people here who are the guards of the Cui Mansion, and there are five hundred people who are the disciples of the clan. They are trained on weekdays just for moments like this.
"How many people are there in those rebel armies?" What Chen Hongyu was most concerned about was the number of the Seven Killers.
"Sir, according to the sentry post, there seem to be hundreds or even thousands of people. It's hard to see those people clearly because it's night, but the number is not small, so we must be prepared." Yang Zheng thought for a while and said.
.
At this time, Grandpa Cui Jian, who was dressed in chainmail, finally arrived. He held a spear and said with great enthusiasm: "Those rebels have no horses. They have just entered Lin'an County, and they have to catch up to the county seat at least half an hour ago."
We can ambush them first.
Mu Zhi, during the ambush, you will be in charge of the archers of our two families and give them a few rounds of hard shots first.
Yang Zheng, when the battle begins, you lead your family's elite soldiers to attack the formation. The power of the heavy armored cavalry is very powerful..."
In just a few words, Cui Jian decided on a general strategy, and the remaining details would be discussed on the road.
…
On the other side, Shen Yan rode a war horse and led a team of nearly a thousand people in a hurry towards Lin'an County.
At this time, there were a large number of troops on both sides facing each other at the border between the two states. They took advantage of the chaos and broke through to the rear. They mainly served as pioneers and occupied a city and a place for the rear.
"Brother, if we capture Lin'an County this time, we will have a full meal. Although we won't go hungry on weekdays, there are ration restrictions in the army." Zuo Liang looked at the silent mountain forest in the distance.
Hearing this, Shen Yan forgot to glance at the Seven Kills soldiers who were walking quietly, and said: "Don't worry, although our main task is to create chaos and let the troops hoarded on the border return to defense, we can still have a full meal."
In recent days, the scale of the Seven Kills Army has continued to grow. The training soldiers and the relatives of the soldiers have consumed a lot of food and grass every day. Therefore, the leader of the Seven Kills Army, Lu Zhiying, ordered to go south to Qingzhou. After all, Qingzhou is the richest among the thirteen states of Daqian.
They can all be listed in the top three.
However, before the Seven Kills Army completely invaded Qingzhou to obtain food and grass, the food and grass were still a bit tight. Even though their soldiers had much more rations than their family members to maintain their combat effectiveness, it was not enough to completely fill their stomachs.
While a few people were talking, they had already reached the mountain forest ahead.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Suddenly, arrows flew out from the mountain forest, catching Shen Yan off guard.
