Chapter 246

The 3,000 warriors were all forged from tendons and muscles, each of them tall and strong, lining up in neat queues and walking like flying. Around the team were dozens of Dao foundation captains, responsible for constantly supplementing them with Dao methods for rapid travel.

Under the blessing of Dao methods, the army moved quite fast, running a hundred miles in one hour. The march also had rules, running for one hour and resting for a quarter of an hour, and then running for another hour.

The target of this raid was 800 miles away from the domain. The army would not arrive until the next day, needing to camp halfway and cross the defense line of military fortresses painstakingly built by Yuan Qingyan.

Little Wei Yuan rode on his horse, looking at the fast-moving troops from afar, and missed Fang Hetong very much.

Bao Yun's Seven-Wonderful Treasure Tree also had a secret method for carrying a large army to travel fast. But Little Wei Yuan did not have such talent under his command, and he was not rich enough to equip every warrior with a military horse. Now in the domain, he can only guarantee that every Dao foundation has a horse.

The army marched, and in the early morning of the second day, a military fortress was visible from afar.

This is a flat ground between two mountains, about a hundred miles wide. This military fortress is built in the middle of the flat ground, guarding the east-west passage. Large groups of people want to pass, all have to pass under the eyes of the military fortress.

When this troop appeared in the field of vision, the horn sounded in the camp. The military fortress boiled immediately, and a moment later, a Assistant Regional Commander took several captains to the top of the city. Seeing the troop coming with neat steps, the Assistant Regional Commander took a breath.

This kind of military appearance is definitely not a mob. The Assistant Regional Commander first thought that the Shaman army was coming, and his face turned pale. Fortunately, when they walked closer, seeing that the whole army was human, the Assistant Regional Commander was relieved.

It's not the Shaman army, it's easy to handle! He was secretly relaxed in his heart, but then he thought, coming from the west and not the Shaman army, wouldn't that be from that place?

His face, which had just had some blood, turned white again instantly.

At this time, Little Wei Yuan sat on his horse, looking at the military fortress dozens of miles away, and had already seen everyone on the city wall clearly. The guard of this military fortress is surnamed Liu and named Yang, a general of the local faction of Western Jin.

His troop does not belong to the Northern Border Army of Yue Jinshan, nor is it Yuan Qingyan's direct line, so Yuan Qingyan sent them far away to guard here.

Among the six military fortresses from north to south, four are placed with heavy troops, which are traps laid by Yue Jinshan. And this military fortress is one of the remaining two.

Originally, the position of this military fortress was very important, but Yue Jinshan did not set up traps here, deeply understanding the essence of using troops to be empty when real, and real when empty.

Unfortunately, Little Wei Yuan is also a master of military strategy, deeply understanding the essence of subduing the enemy without fighting, letting Yue Jinshan's backyard catch fire, and his own nephew sold the overall defense cleanly, so he avoided the strong enemy and hit the key point directly.

On the military fortress, a captain asked: "General Liu, the opponent has entered the range of the bed crossbow, do you want to shoot?"

Assistant Regional Commander Liu's face was gloomy: "It's clearly two miles away, where can it hit?"

The captain was startled and said: "As long as the front end of the bed crossbow is raised by two feet and three inches, it can just shoot two more miles. If you don't ask for such precision, it's about the same to pad five large blue bricks."

This captain is well-versed in military affairs, and reported the numbers that were not bad as soon as he opened his mouth. But Assistant Regional Commander Liu's face at this time was as ugly as it could be.

At this time, a captain behind him said: "Isn't this bed crossbow broken? I checked it this morning, and it can't be used now."

"That was maintained by my own hands, where is it broken?" The captain argued with a red face.

Assistant Regional Commander Liu suddenly leaned close to him, sniffed hard, and then said coldly: "Dare to drink in the army, drunk on the city, come here, take him down and lock him up for three days first!"

The captain was startled again, shouting injustice: "I drank alcohol when I was on rotation the day before yesterday..."

Assistant Regional Commander Liu didn't want to listen to his explanation. With a look, several captains took action themselves, tying up the tying, blocking the mouth, and finally took the captain down.

So, ten miles away, thousands of troops didn't even slow down, and didn't even send a troop to expand to monitor the movement of the military fortress, and just opened it with a rumble.

A captain couldn't help but scold: "This is too looking down on people! At this time, I will take two hundred cavalry to charge, and then a burst of cover and kill from behind will destroy them! General Liu, why don't we do it?" Assistant Regional Commander Liu stared and shouted: "What do you know, this is a trick to lure the enemy, there must be a back move! Hmph, he can hide from others, don't want to hide from this general!"

Several captains rolled their eyes secretly. They naturally knew what kind of character Assistant Regional Commander Liu was. This person is not related to famous generals at all. The only skill he can take out is to turn into the wind, and he can escape from desperation several times.

It's just that the captains are all smooth people, and no one breaks it.

Little Wei Yuan saw all the troops pass through the military fortress safely, so he waved his hand, and nearly a hundred masked knights came out one after another, not hiding their breath at all, the war horses stepped on small steps, and passed through the valley in front of the military fortress.

All the generals on the city wall took a breath. These masked knights were actually Dao foundation cultivators! And there were only twelve Dao foundations in the whole military fortress, less than half of the opposite side.

Immediately, a captain began to count the masked knights, "Fifty, sixty... eighty-seven. Sure enough, it is the Fifty Great Thieves of Maofei Zhan Tian!"

Another captain doubted: "Isn't it the Fifty Great Thieves, this is almost a hundred!"

Assistant Regional Commander Liu's face was already earthy. A knight with a jade mask in the distance suddenly turned his head and looked at this side from afar. Assistant Regional Commander Liu was instantly like being poured a basin of ice water, instantly stiff in place!

Fortunately, the knight just took a look and left with the crowd of knights.

All the generals on the city wall were silent, and suddenly a captain scolded: "The one surnamed Yuan has no good intentions! Let us guard here, isn't this letting us die?!"

!.

Another old captain said: "General Liu is really a god of prediction."

The captains reacted, and this flattery was sincere.

Assistant Regional Commander Liu's hands and feet were still cold, and he had no heart to enjoy these flatteries, saying: "This general is a bit weak, go back to the tent to rest for a while, remember to call me when they come back, remember not to act rashly! Whoever dares to shoot the first arrow, behead!"

After the instructions, he went down the city to rest.

Just at dusk, the army came back again.

This time they dragged hundreds of large carts, full of grain and materials, and also escorted hundreds of dejected official troops, and passed by the military fortress again in a mighty way. This time it was even more excessive, only two miles away from the military fortress.

Assistant Regional Commander Liu, who received the news, hurried to the city and took a breath. With so much grain and heavy equipment, the large granary behind must have been robbed!

At this time, a garrison soldier drew his bow and aimed at a masked knight below. Assistant Regional Commander Liu was quick-eyed and kicked the soldier off the city wall, vomiting blood and unable to get up.

Assistant Regional Commander Liu broke out in a cold sweat, and when he looked down the city again, he happened to see the jade-faced knight again.

The jade-faced knight seemed to have remembered something, casually summoned a large cart, and then raised his spear to stab at the full bag on the cart. White rice spilled out from the opening. Then the knight immediately crossed his spear and looked at the city like that, actually not leaving.

Assistant Regional Commander Liu's cold sweat came out layer by layer. At the critical moment of life and death, the skill of guessing the superior's intention practiced for many years finally came in handy. A flash of light flashed in his brain, and he shouted: "Pull all the grain in the granary out and load it into the cart, and send it out! Fast, be fast, you all go! Not a grain of rice can be left!"

A captain was startled and said: "This... what if the people above investigate?"

Assistant Regional Commander Liu glared at him fiercely and said: "You have been in the army for more than ten years, why don't you understand this common sense? Burn the granary tonight!"
