I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 241

The next day, you time.

Luzhou, Anren County.

Anren County, as a county located at the junction of Luzhou and Jizhou, has always had a low sense of existence. The most famous thing in recent years is that a "Lushan layman", Song Zhengming, came out.

But it's a pity that this Master Song had an argument with Wei Changtian at the Flower Appreciation Conference in Anyi County, and was pissed off by the latter.

As a result, Anren County has no place to praise, and it has only recently become the focus of attention.

The reason is very simple, because this is the place where the imperial court's army to suppress the "Jizhou Rebellion" was stationed.

"Grumbling."

"Shut up!"

Jiaguang opened to the golden scales of Japan, eight hundred miles away.

At sunset, a carriage, splashing clouds of road dust, stopped in front of the chief general's tent.

The military generals who received the notification an hour ago had already stood on both sides, and when the feet of the people in the car hit the ground, they fell to their knees and shouted in unison, full of spirit:

"The last general pays homage to the emperor!"

"Ah."

Ning Yongnian, who was wearing a golden armor, raised his hand to help: "Get up."

"Yes!"

The generals stood up, the one in the lead stepped forward and was about to speak, but Ning Yongnian took the first step and said:
"General Zhou, order all the soldiers to prepare their armor and equipment. After half an hour, they will listen to the order at the general's platform. I want to swear an oath."

Taking the military oath is the pre-war mobilization meeting, which is a necessary ceremony before the official dispatch of troops to fight.

And Ning Yongnian will take an oath as soon as he arrives, which means
The general surnamed Zhou looked stern, and without any doubt, he immediately raised his chest and raised his head and responded loudly:
"Yes!"

"The last will obey!"

In Xushi, Jizhou City.

After dinner in An'an, Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu left Ruyi Inn together and went directly to Xu's Mansion.

Not surprisingly, at midnight tonight, the imperial court's counter-insurgency army will attack Jizhou.

To be more precise, it should be to go straight to Jizhou City.

From the art of war, this approach is undoubtedly very unsafe.

Jizhou has one city and four counties. Jizhou City is located to the west, closer to Yuanzhou in the west and farther to Luzhou in the east.

And this also means that if the imperial army wants to go straight to Jizhou City, it must bypass three counties that are also controlled by the Xu family along the way.

The ancient county is not the same concept as the county in the previous life, regardless of size, population, and administrative area, it is several times larger.

Therefore, once the anti-insurgency army cannot quickly take Jizhou City, but is rejected by the Xu family, it is very likely that they will fall into a dilemma.

Going forward, Jizhou City cannot be attacked.

In the future, the Xu family can order the remaining three counties to send troops to intercept the army's retreat.

Therefore, unless there is an extremely strong confidence to break through Jizhou City in one fell swoop, the risk of using troops like this is extremely high.

And Ning Yongnian is ready to do this now.

Of course, his confidence was not without reason.

It's a pity that the emperor doesn't know about it right now. The south city gate, which was supposed to open a quarter of an hour after the sound of the war drum, might not open tonight.

"."

"Mr. Wei, if what happened tonight is as you said, I will definitely fulfill my previous promise."

The fine sand in the copper drain in the corner flows away little by little, symbolizing the passage of time.

Still in that tea room, Wei Yanyu looked at Wei Changtian with a very serious tone.

"However, if the young master's information is wrong, then no matter what conditions the Wei family proposes, the concubine will not continue to talk with the young master."

"Don't worry ma'am."

Wei Changtian took a sip of his tea, with a nonchalant expression on his face: "If the information is wrong, then I will naturally have no face to stay in Jizhou, and I will leave tonight."

"My son is really bold."

Wei Yanyu said something perfunctory absent-mindedly, and stopped talking.

There was a brief silence in the room, until Wei Changtian wentssiped a little curiously:
"Ma'am, excuse me for asking one more question."

"The spy in the Xu family, who has been found out?"

"."

Wei Yanyu was taken aback when she heard the words, then shook her head silently.

Seeing this, Wei Changtian smiled and sighed, "Then it seems Madam is planning to meet again tonight to find out."

"Ah."

They are all smart people, Wei Yanyu didn't hide it.

She nodded noncommittally, repeating softly as if talking to herself.

"Tonight we will see the outcome"

Haishi, Jizhou, Yishan County.

"Quick! Go to the city wall!"

"Build a strong crossbow! Prepare boiling oil! Light the torches!"

"Everyone is not allowed to act without authorization, and all obey the orders of their respective corporal leaders!"

"Warriors of the sixth rank and above must gather at the North City Gate!"

"."

The continuous flames illuminated a circle of tall city walls that were nearly a hundred miles long. If you looked down from the night sky, you could see a huge red circle.

Jizhou is not a frontier state, so the walls of the cities were not very strong.

However, in the past month, the Xu family invested a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out a major renovation of all the city walls in Jizhou, so now the city walls in Yishan County have reached the level that can withstand the moves of warriors below the sixth rank.

Even if it is a fifth rank, or even a fourth rank with one move, at most it will open a crack a few inches deep.

This kind of damage is not too much different from scratching an itch for a city wall several feet thick.

"I'm coming!!"

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

Accompanied by the sudden burst of drums, the figure on the city wall moved a little faster again.

Occasional riots, but overall far from chaotic.

Although the imperial army suddenly crossed the border tonight, the spies had already reported it, leaving the outermost Yishan County with more than an hour of preparation time.

For the Jizhou army stationed here, which is always tense, this time is enough.

"Red Armor! It's the Imperial Guard!"

Standing on a high observation deck, a martial artist who has reached the fifth stage of "Bright Eyes Da Cong" shouted and gave the information immediately.

"Don't panic!"

"Everyone! Prepare to meet the enemy!!"

Without the command of a general, the corporal leaders who were each in charge of a combat unit of five people immediately issued an order and led their soldiers to stand in their combat positions.

The string of the crossbow is stretched, and the huge arrow enters the groove; the long halberd is thick, and the blade is unsheathed.

Hearing the roar of horseshoes coming from far and near, and feeling the strong sense of oppression, the city wall suddenly became silent for a while.

All the soldiers clenched their weapons tightly, holding their breath and trying to look into the distance.

Soon after, they saw the imperial guards pouring in like a wave of blood.

Red armor, red helmet, red horse, imperial flag.
It's no wonder that it is known as the most elite army in Daning. This momentum alone seems to be able to tear the sky and crush everything.

"Damn it! What are you shaking!"

Suddenly, a violent shout sounded from nowhere on the city wall.

"What about the Guards?!"

"Can you still grow three heads and six arms longer than us?!!"

"I killed the imperial guards today!!"

"Yes! Kill the fucking guards!!"

"Done! Killing one is enough money, killing two is enough!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!!"

"Roar!!!"

It was like igniting a powder barrel, and the burst of continuous roar instantly greatly enhanced the momentum of Jizhou soldiers. Looking at this posture, it seemed that they could not wait to rush down the city wall to fight hand-to-hand with the imperial guards who were still far away.

However, when this fighting spirit reached its peak, something that no one expected happened.

"Report!"

The warriors on the watchtower observed repeatedly for a long time, and then shouted:
"The imperial guards didn't come this way! It seems to have gone to Jizhou City!"

"what?!"

A general was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly roared:
"Quick! Burn the jade immediately! Report to Mrs. Wei!!"
