Chapter 71

The next day, Yang Wu entered Yuhang County with his army.

Logically speaking, he should lead his troops directly to the direction of the labor camp.

That is, near the Grand Canal project.

But because there was no one to respond when he entered the territory, Yang Wu chose to go to the nearest city to find out the situation.

"General, something is wrong!"

When he arrived near the city, he saw that the surrounding area was deserted, and the newly promoted General Ying Yanglang said in a low voice.

This Ying Yanglang will be relatively young, with a youthful and passionate vigor.

However, under its sharp eyes, there is caution.

This person is the young Su Dingfang.

At Su Dingfang's age, he can serve as General Yingyanglang, which made the rest of the soldiers unconvinced.

Especially Jiang Tian and others, after all, they did not know how many military exploits they had made for this position.

Now he was dismissed and replaced with another stunned young man.

But Yang Wu didn't explain too much, he only knew that this was Su Dingfang!

It can be said that he is a famous general in the future, with a bright future!
Although he is young now, he has already shown his edge.

I believe that as long as Su Dingfang is given time, he will naturally display his due value.

At that time, Jiang Tian and others will also be convinced.

"General, we have a large army of [-], what will happen?"

Jiang Tianman said indifferently.

"Then why do you see that there will be no people moving inside or outside the city, and although the flag of the Sui Dynasty is still there, there will be no guards!"

Su Dingfang retorted.

"In such a small city, those laborers would not think of doing anything about it, so it's just that the defenders are slack!"

Jiang Tian replied.

"General, after entering the city, those slack soldiers must be severely punished!"

he begged.

Yang Wu said nothing, looking at the top of the city.

Everything is just as Su Dingfang said, full of weirdness.

"There must be a volt here."

Yang Wu asserted directly.

"However, why did the enemy set up an ambush here? They didn't know that we would come here in the first place."

Su Dingfang murmured.

That's why he thought there was something strange, but he didn't dare to say that there was an ambush.

"Bring the arrow."

Yang Wu said in a deep voice.

Su Dingfang handed the bow and arrows with both hands as instructed.

Jiang Tian and the others looked at Yang Wu suspiciously, not knowing what he wanted to do.

I saw Jiang Tian stretching his bow and nodding his arrows. With the sound of the bow strings being tensed, the bows and arrows were already full moon.

Yang Wu's eyes were fixed, and he loosened the bowstring suddenly.

"blow"

The arrow rushed out suddenly, only to hear the sound, but there was no trace of the arrow.

"boom"

In the next second, there was a loud noise from the city ahead, followed by dust and mist.

Everyone took a closer look and saw that the gravel was flying across the top of the city, and the arrows just now were directly nailed into the city wall.

"hiss"

Jiang Tian and the others gasped.

From the power of this arrow, it is not difficult to see how powerful Yang Wu is.

You know, the arrows of ordinary bows and arrows are not considered strong.

It is impossible to penetrate the city wall!

But Yang Wu did it, it was determined by the speed and power of the arrow.

Before everyone could continue to be surprised, they saw countless boulders flying out of the city ahead, accompanied by arrow feathers!
As Yang Wu expected, there was indeed an ambush ahead.

"how is this possible?"

Su Dingfang said in disbelief.

"What is impossible, the marching traces of our army should be mastered by the enemy."

Yang Wu said lightly.

"Damn it, what the general meant, could it be that there are spies in the army?"

Su Dingfang exclaimed.

Yang Wu smiled, and glanced at Jiang Tian who was not far away.

I saw Jiang Tian's eyes dodging, and his expression was a little flustered.

"General, it must be the enemy's spies, who have already discovered our army's traces!"

Jiang Tian said bravely.

Regarding this, Yang Wu didn't say anything.

He directly ordered the army to form a formation.

Then use the shield to block the rain of arrows, and slowly move forward.

The city ahead is not big, even if there is an ambush, the number of people is estimated to be no more than a thousand.

Those ambush soldiers saw that the army continued to advance, knowing that the ambush failed and they would not be able to guard the city, so they abandoned the city immediately.

Yang Wu easily entered the city, and immediately ordered people to clean up the battlefield.

"General, look!"

Su Dingfang suddenly pointed to an enemy corpse.

Yang Wu raised his eyes and saw that although the corpse on the ground was wearing the clothes of a Goguryeo laborer, its appearance was different from that of Goguryeo.

But this person's face is relatively clean, and he has a long beard.

Goguryeo people don't dress up like this.

And after being a laborer for a period of time, how can the Goguryeo people have a clean face?
What's more, this corpse has a round face, and it doesn't look like it is suffering.

"It seems that someone wants to disturb the situation in Yuhang County, and this general will be deeply involved."

The corners of Yang Wu's mouth raised slightly.

When he took control of the city, Su Dingfang called in the local government officials.

"See, General."

When the yamen servant saw Yang Wu, he trembled all over.

"I will ask you, what is the current situation in Yuhang County."

Yang Wu pondered.

"Returning to the general, those barbarians became very powerful as soon as they mutinied, and took down many cities in a row."

The yamen servant came as it was.

"The governor of Yuhang County and the local defenders are not opponents?"

Yang Wu's eyes were teasing.

"Yes, the army was defeated very quickly, and the county guard has already retreated to Yuhang."

The yamen servant answered truthfully.

"The guards in Yuhang County, plus the guards in charge of the labor camps, there are at least 2 people, right?"

After letting the yamen servants retire, Yang Wu said lightly.

"Back to the general, yes."

Su Dingfang replied.

"A force of 2 people can't deal with weak workers who can't sleep or eat well. Isn't this a joke?"

Yang Wu sneered.

"General, it seems that the water in Yuhang County is very deep."

Su Dingfang said in a deep voice.

Now all fools know that labor camp riots are fraudulent.

"Immediately mobilize troops and take these cities now."

Yang Wu took out a map and marked several locations on the map.

"This time, I will send you to lead the army. The faster the better, I will only give you five thousand soldiers."

He looked at Su Dingfang and said.

The intention right now is to see if Su Dingfang has the guts to respond.

This is also an opportunity for Su Dingfang to make his mark.

"promise!"

Su Dingfang didn't even think about it, and responded directly.

"Very well, let's go."

Yang Wu said lightly, and at the same time handed over to Su Dingfang the military order to dispatch troops.

Although there is no tiger talisman, a large army can be dispatched with this military order.

"Thank you General!"

Su Dingfang took the military order tremblingly.

Then there are young men who don't want gold and iron horses?

Then there is a young man who throws his head and sprinkles blood, kills the enemy and makes military exploits?

All of these are extravagant fantasies for Su Dingfang.

But today, Yang Wu gave Su Dingfang this opportunity.

Five thousand soldiers and horses deal with a large number of laborers, and there may even be rebels from aristocratic families who do not know their strength.

It can be seen how dangerous it is.

The point is that workers cannot be killed, they must be kept alive, which makes it even more difficult.

But Su Dingfang is not afraid, he is willing to try it if he has this opportunity.

"I'm going to send troops from this city, and fight all the way to Yuhang City. The army will meet up in the labor camp."

Yang Wu said lightly.
