The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 333

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is May when the warblers fly and the grass grows.All the affairs of Hengshan have been on track and started to run in an orderly manner.

However, Anzhou at this time is full of weapons and fighting spirit.Following Lin Yifan's order, Qin Yuanhao led [-] Anzhou troops and [-] cavalry dispatched from Xiazhou, and formally declared war on Shanxi and Hexi counties.

The mighty advance of the [-]-strong army soon caused panic among the various forces entrenched in the two counties.They united hastily and assembled an army of [-] in an attempt to resist the advance of the Hengshan Army.

Qin Yuanhao was not nervous about this, because the [-] mob was no match for his own [-] people.In addition to recovering the two counties, this troop dispatch is also intended to achieve the purpose of military training.Due to the large-scale expansion of the army, more than [-]% of the [-] troops are recruits.They have only gone through a few months of training, and they have not been able to make soldiers grow into fighters. Only by seeing blood in a battle can they feel what war is, and thus mature as soon as possible.

However, within a few days, the army officially entered Hexi County, pushing all the way, no one dared to fight.These forces are a little clever, and they even learned from the previous Northern Expedition, the Hengshan Army adopted the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness.However, they just snatched all the people's things and set fire to all their houses.Then they hid in the city with a large amount of supplies, or got into the mountains, refusing to confront the Hengshan Army head-on.

People without money, food and houses were abandoned by them and left to live and die.So much so that when the army entered Huaiyuan County, they found countless people along the way, supporting the old and the young, rushing to Jing'an Mansion without fear.

Qin Yuanhao looked at these refugees and was furious in his heart. He wished to kill them and wipe out all those forces.Facing these refugees, he naturally couldn't ignore them. He immediately ordered the general to distribute a portion of the food and grass to the people, and sent a team to escort the people to the rear.Then he wrote a letter and sent it to Ye Hongyu, asking him to come forward to resettle these people.

Due to the containment of the fleeing people, the Hengshan Army's advance began to slow down. Qin Yuanhao gathered the fleeing people while waiting for the support of food and grass from the rear.After five days like this, the army finally arrived at the city of Hexi County.

At this time, the Hexi County City has gathered three forces, with a military strength of more than 8 people, plus the people who were coerced by them to guard the city, there are about [-] to [-] people.The county city was built along the river, and the wide moat surrounded the city, cutting off the attacking road of the Hengshan Army.This is also the confidence of the defenders in the city to dare to stand in front of the Hengshan Army. They believe that with the advantage of the location, they can keep the enemy behind the city.Sufficient supplies are enough to support the opponent until the opponent retreats without a fight.

Qin Yuanhao also noticed this trouble. The moat was ten meters wide and connected to the Yanchuan River flowing in the north of the city.The moat is very close to the city, within the range of an arrow, which means that if the moat is filled, it will have to deal with the rain of arrows from the city.If so, many soldiers' lives would have to be sacrificed in order to open a passage.There is no need for the Hengshan Army to rush to attack the city, and the most important thing is to reduce casualties.

Therefore, Qin Yuanhao ordered the whole army to set up camp and prepare to make various siege equipment.The cavalry scattered around and swept all over Hexi County, preventing the enemy from gathering in the mountains and forests and harassing the rear. .

At this time, at the head of the city of Hexi County, a small soldier of about [-] years old stopped and watched the Hengshan Army outside the city, with a strange expression on his face.

Suddenly a big hand patted his back, and a rough voice came, "Hou Liangping, what are you looking at?"

The little soldier trembled slightly, turned his head quickly, grinned and said, "Brother Du, it's okay, I'm just curious about the army outside the city."

"Haha, what's the matter? Looking at the other party's battle, you're almost scared to pee?" The big man behind him looked at him jokingly and laughed.

"No, how is it possible?" Xiao Bing said evasively, but his eyes were calm.

The big man didn't notice his strangeness, thought he was guilty, and said to himself, "It's normal to pee out of fear, you've been here not long ago, maybe you don't know the Hengshan Army well, and you don't know how powerful they are."

Xiaobing heard the words, his eyes flashed slightly, showing curiosity, "Brother Du, I'm new here, I don't know the story of the Hengshan Army yet, can you tell me about it?"

"That's right, if I don't tell you, you'll be the first one to die when the war starts, and you'll be the first to die." The big man immediately became interested, Then he began to show off to the little soldiers, "The Hengshan Army is really amazing..."

As the big man narrated, Xiao Bing gradually understood the origin of the Hengshan Army, and his heart was terrified.The Hengshan Army's defeat of the Northern Expedition Army had already shocked him immensely.Unexpectedly, they wiped out nearly [-] golden werewolves at Xiayangguan, and killed the famous Youxian King Bahan, and hundreds of thousands of werewolves from Youxian King's tribe, and all of them were forced to move to the territory as slaves.Such a feat is enough to cause a shock in the world, and there is no need to confer a duke or a prince.But now this little Hengshan force is so powerful that it can defeat the Golden Werewolf. Who in the world can control its strength?
The little soldier was trembling all over, his face was pale. Looking at the black army outside the city, he seemed to have foreseen that one day in the future, the Hengshan Army would raise [-] cavalry and attack Huazhou in a big way, directly attacking the capital of Zhongzhou. , who can make it?

Seeing his frightened face, the big man couldn't help laughing, patted his shoulder, looked at him pretending to be mysterious and said: "Boy, be smart when you fight, follow me, maybe you still have a chance of surviving, you know? "

"Thank you, Brother Du, I'll remember it." Xiao Bing smiled with difficulty, making it uglier than crying.

After the big man left, the little soldier's stooped body gradually straightened up, and his face became gloomy.He stared blankly at the Hengshan Army outside the city, with a sense of powerlessness in his eyes. "Now that I am powerless and wanted by the court, I have become a fugitive. I am still worried about what the court will do? What's more, I am in danger now, and it is still unknown whether I can survive. Oh, Tang Rong, Tang Rong, if we say goodbye that day, I'm afraid that heaven and man will be separated forever, so please take care of yourself."

After speaking, he turned his head to the direction of the capital, and muttered to himself: "Old General Tang, my subordinate Hou Mingfeng can no longer be loyal to the country, so just treat me as if I died in battle."

It turned out that this soldier was Hou Mingfeng who was forced to flee into the deep forest during the ambush in Mingzhou.He and Tang Rong walked in the jungle for more than a month, and finally passed through the Huilong Mountains, entered Shanxi County, and then came to Hexi County.Unexpectedly, here they got the news that the imperial court had accused him of collaborating with the enemy and issued a wanted arrest warrant.When Tang Rong heard the news, he was so angry that he scolded Cao thief for his insidiousness.But at this moment, no matter what, it is impossible for Hou Mingfeng to return to the court, otherwise he will be arrested by Cao thief, forced to give false testimony and frame Zhongliang.If he doesn't go back, Hou Mingfeng will be charged with collaborating with the enemy, and his name will be hidden from then on.

After the two discussed it, they decided to let Tang Rong go back first, to assist old general Tang in controlling the court troops, to assist the emperor in restraining Cao thief, and to clear his name at the same time.Hou Mingfeng stayed here, under the pseudonym Hou Liangping, and settled down temporarily, waiting for changes in the court.It's a pity that we haven't waited for the news from the imperial court, but we have waited for the news that the Hengshan Army has conquered Hexi County.He was in the vortex and couldn't help himself, so he was arrested and forced to climb the wall to defend the city.

Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun, Hou Mingfeng tightened his grip on the rough spear in his hand, and said secretly: "We must survive."

Postscript: Hou Mingfeng's alias is Hou Liangping, everyone should have no objections, right?Bright to bright is a synonym.Peak to level is an antonym.so boring!
