Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 119 In an ambush
The night was quiet, the evening breeze blew, bringing a touch of coolness, and the bright moonlight turned on a tiny light in the boundless night.

Chen Mo led 6000 to [-] people and gradually took over Tingting County.

It was already midnight, and there was silence in the county. The people had all fallen asleep, but on the city wall, there were soldiers wearing armor walking back and forth.

Chen Mo didn't dare to get too close. After all, there were 6000 or [-] people, and even if they were walking with their backs bent, they would make a lot of noise.

"Don't move around here." Chen Mo looked at Zhang He, Han Wu, and Hu Qiang, and then said: "You listen to the noise before taking action, do you understand?"

"Understood." Zhang He and the others nodded.

After the explanation, Chen Mo himself, Lu Yuan, and Su Wen closed the clothes of the Wang family nurse sent by the Wang family to redeem people, then wiped a handful of ashes from the ground and smeared it on his face. The warrior led the group and led Wang Ran to the city wall.

The city wall of Pingting County is three feet high. Although it is made of loess and stones, it is not something that Chen Mo can climb up or penetrate without the help of external force.

Let’s talk about the city gate.

The city gate is not a simple wooden gate, but a solid building. It is built with ancient trees that are hundreds or thousands of years old. It uses iron birch or jujube wood with excellent fire resistance, and then paints and reinforces steel and other materials. It is extremely thick.

In addition, there are more than a dozen door bolts behind the city gate, and after that there is a thousand-jin gate.

In the ancient times before Chen Mowei traveled through time, artillery could not be blasted unless modern thermal weapons were used.

Otherwise, why would there be such a saying as "In the battle of siege, attack the city three times, and surround it ten times."

When Chen Mo and his party came to the city wall, the defenders above discovered Chen Mo and others. The captain guarding the city shouted: "Who is coming?"

"General Cai, it's me, Wang Chu of the Wang family. We have redeemed the second son of our family. Let us in quickly." A warrior from the Wang family's side said.

Wang Ran, who was carrying a bow on his back, also stepped forward: "I am Wang Ran."

"It turns out to be the Second Young Master Wang. Are you okay? Are there any generals among those thieves?" Captain Qian Fu, surnamed Cai, said.

"Don't mention it. Those thieves are bullying people too much. When I go back, even if my father has to dissipate all the family wealth, I have to send people to destroy them. Otherwise, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my heart." Wang Ran said.

"Second Young Master Wang, wait a moment." Captain Cai said, asking his subordinates to shine the torches over it. However, the city wall was too high, and it was difficult to see clearly even in the middle of the night.

Chen Mo looked up and saw a red number 53+5 on the commander's forehead.

After Captain Cai looked at a few people for a moment, he suddenly let out a startled cry and said, "Headguard Lu is back too."

Lu Yuan had already prepared his words, raised his hand, and said, "Thanks to the help of the Wang family, they redeemed me. This time when I go to the city, I plan to ask friends to raise money to redeem my wives and concubines."

"Those thieves are really hateful. After entering the city, you can ask for troops. If there is a chance, I will go with you to kill the thieves." As he spoke, Captain Cai called on his men to put down two willow baskets. Go down.

Wang Ran and Lu Yuan stepped into the willow basket, and the garrison above turned the turntable and pulled them up.

Then came Chen Mo and Su Wen.

After everyone came up, Captain Cai suddenly stared at Chen Mo for a while, and then asked doubtfully: "How come I haven't seen this brother before? This brother looks a bit unfamiliar."

Wang Ran and Su Wen's expressions changed slightly, while Chen Mo said very calmly: "The younger one is just a guard of the Wang family. It's normal that General Cai has never seen the younger one."

Captain Cai nodded, then looked at the three clay pots Chen Mo was carrying, and asked doubtfully: "What are these?"

Chen Mo untied a clay pot, opened it and showed it to him: "The fine salt is what the thief paid to our second son as compensation."

Chen Mo also grabbed a handful.

When Captain Cai saw such fine salt, he dipped a little bit out of curiosity and tasted it. When he found out that it was really salt, he was surprised: "There is such fine salt?!" "If General Cai likes it, I will give it to you." One can." Wang Ran said suddenly.

Chen Mo handed the pottery pot to Captain Cai Qian.

"That's so embarrassing." He said this, but he took it in his hand honestly.

He is not a fool. This jar of such fine salt is worth at least several thousand dollars, so don't give it up for free.

"Then General Cai, let's go back." Wang Ran said.

"I'm sending Mr. Wang to you."

Captain Cai Qian handed the pottery pot to the soldiers on the side, and then sent Chen Mo and his party down the tower.

"Second Young Master Wang, be slow."

Before Cai Qianfu could finish his long words, Chen Mo took out a dagger from his arms and slashed his throat.

In fact, the moment Chen Mo took out the dagger, Captain Cai Qianfu reacted and stepped back, but the opponent's speed was too much.

"Woooo."

Captain Cai Qianfu covered his neck and fell to the ground unwillingly.

The soldiers nearby were also dealt with by Lu Yuan and the others, and then they quickly ran to the bridge opening, trying to turn the winch and pull up the thousand-jin gate.

At this moment, large swaths of fire poured out from the houses in the city, and hundreds of nearly a thousand armored guards walked out, led by General Sun, the commander of the garrison.

At the same time, dozens of garrison troops poured out of the bridge hole and set up shields.

The faces of Wang Ran and others suddenly turned pale. Even a fool would understand that they were ambushed.

"It seems that your Excellency's guess is correct. The Wang family has really evil intentions and actually surrendered to the thieves. Shoot the arrows!" General Sun waved his hand, and dozens or hundreds of arrows came towards the crowd from behind.

"If you don't want to die, go and open the city gate." Chen Mo yelled at Lu Yuan and others, then untied a clay pot and threw it into the city cave.

choke-

The Tang sword was unsheathed, Chen Mo turned around and swung out several swords fiercely. The invisible sword energy swept away in the shape of a rice, and most of the arrows were chopped off.

"burst."

Chen Mo let out a sigh, and the clay pot that was thrown into the bridge hole exploded in an instant. Thick smoke and flames spurted out. The armor array formed in the bridge hole was blown open, and the people around him couldn't avoid it. His flesh and blood were bruised by the flying iron fragments and gravel.

The sudden explosion and Chen Mo's terrifying methods made everyone look horrified, their eyes full of fear of the unknown.

After Lu Yuan and others blocked the remaining arrows with their swords, they came to their senses and rushed towards the bridge hole.

General Sun also looked shocked, and the soldiers beside him were even more stunned. Some even shouted words like "Thunder Lord, witchcraft" and were at a loss.

It was during this moment of confusion that Chen Mo threw the last clay pot towards General Sun's army.

"boom!"

The pottery jar exploded, and the dozen or so garrison troops in front were instantly affected by the flying pottery and iron shards, lying on the ground rolling and wailing.
