...

On June 25, at dusk, the grain camp in the northern Jiaozhao Village in Yuanzhou City welcomed a wave of uninvited guests...

"Shit..."

"Puff puff puff..."

The feathers flying on the horse's back kept circling around the grain camp, constantly gathering the horns and crossbows in their hands, and almost every arrow shot out, and a defender would fall down on the wooden walls of the camp.

Under the guidance of the grain transport adjutant, Huo Qing's three thousand Yulin Army rushed to the grain storage base in a dusty manner. Without any extra words, he launched a surprise attack on the Jiang Mansion defenders in the base with the help of the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Puff~"

“Uh~”

A sharp feather arrow pierced through the chest of an armored long-haired man who was commanding the defenders to fight back.

The moment he was caught in the arrow, he moaned softly, looking at the feathered arrows that were still shaking on his chest with shock, feeling the cold arrowhead freeze the blood in his body, and soon his body was surrounded by biting coldness. After shaking it a few times, it fell heavily into the village wall.

"Swish~"

"Puff~"

Another sharp arrow turned into a meteor and hit a archer holding a archer on the arrow tower. The moment the arrow branch hit his cheek, he was blown down and was quickly lost.

"Hahaha~Hahaha~"

"Shit..."

The roar of the iron hooves of the Yulin Guard kept shaking in front of the stronghold gate. The feather arrows and crossbows shot out were like scattered locusts, all of which lifted all the soldiers who had just probed their heads down the wall. The remaining defenders who shot crawled under the wall and did not dare to lean on themselves.

"Where did these cavalry come out? Damn..."

The general who guarded this stronghold was Jiang Kui, who was also one of the officials who followed Jiang Ze to the Far East. Because he was deeply trusted by Jiang Ze, he was responsible for guarding the important granary and assisting the transportation of food and grass from the front-line army.

The defenders guarding this stronghold were five thousand soldiers of the Jiang family. Although the number was not large, they were in the rear and no one would have expected that they would be suddenly attacked by the enemy.

Looking at the dust rolling outside the stronghold and the cavalry were surging, Jiang Kui's doubts suddenly rose. He looked at the big flag with the word "Huo" fluttering in the wind, and it was already concluded that he was a subordinate of Liu Ce's army in Jizhou.

But how did these people suddenly appear in the suburbs of Far Prefecture? Could it be that the battle in Wushan Town failed?

The more Jiang Kui thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Looking at the soldiers lying around him who were shot in an arrow and shouting in a pool of blood, his doubts deepened even more...

"Shit..."

Suddenly, a neat rain of arrows flew over Jiang Hu's head. Jiang Kui vaguely smelled the burning smell of tinder oil. He couldn't help but look up carefully, his eyes suddenly rounded, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

As the rain of arrows crossed the sky, a long dark curtain was dragging at the tail, and rushed straight to the tent piled up in the stronghold with food and grass...

"No, hurry up and prepare to put out the fire~~"

Jiang Kui, who understood the intention of Huo Qing's troops outside, let out a heart-wrenching roar in his throat. Once the stronghold caught fire, the main granary would be completely finished...

“Tututu~”

More than a dozen fire-riding arrows drilled into several dry lawns, and the raging fire was slowly ignited. The soldiers around were so scared that they all burst into tears. After a brief shock, they immediately came back to their senses and began to search for water to start putting out the fire...

"Puff~"

“Uh~”

A feather arrow that was falling into the air hit the back of a defender soldier who was preparing to put out the fire. After screaming, he fell into the burning fire with a wooden barrel filled with clear water. While feeling the extreme pain from his back, he watched the clear water on the ground slowly spread around...

“Ah~~”

Another scream was heard, and a wounded soldier got a scorching feather arrow on his left shoulder. He was lying on the ground and rolling on his face, his face full of pain...

"Shit ~~"

The fire-riding arrows fell into the camp from the stronghold like shuttles, and rushed to the tent full of food and grass. A red flame quickly rose up. In an instant, the smoke in the entire grain base rolled, making people unable to open their eyes...

Looking at the smoke inside the stronghold, Jiang Kui held a steel knife in his hand, his face full of anger and despair.

It's over, this grain storage base is basically over. I have let Jiang Ze down. With his personality, I am afraid that I can't escape the fate of being in a different place...

Jiang Kui's cheeks kept twitching, and he turned around and looked at the cavalry with the feathers floating. At this moment, he was furious and wanted to tear the corpse of the general galloping under the big flag.

"Open the camp gate and fight with me. I want to tear the main general of the cavalry into pieces before I can relieve my hatred!"

Jiang Hu, who had lost his mind, roared, jumped off the wooden wall, ordered people to open the camp gate, and rushed to Huo Qing's cavalry with hundreds of confidants.

"Self-hearted, can't hold back?"

Seeing Jiang Kui rushing out of the stronghold, Huo Qing suddenly showed a look of a conspiracy on his face. He immediately raised his hand and directed his cavalry to turn around and gallop towards him.

The cavalry of the Feathered Guard skillfully switched the formation, formed a cone formation at the fastest speed, mobilized the horses under the crotch, and rushed towards Jiang Hu like a raft of mountains and seas.

"Boom~~"

Three thousand iron hooves hit the ground and made a violent roar. Huo Qing stood at the central army with a cold face, staring at the Jiang family soldiers who were going crazy under the setting sun.

"Aristocratic family? Ridiculous!"

With a whisper of disdain and a hint of mockery, Huo Qinghan raised his sword, and the next moment, the surging cavalry waves immediately collided with the infantry trying to stop him from advancing.

"Bang……"

“Well…”

In an instant, as infantry and cavalry intertwined, fleshy bodies rose into the air and fell heavily on the ground with a shrill scream. Then the sweeping cavalry waves quickly submerged them all.

The sound of bone fractures and tendons echoed on the battlefield. Under the iron hooves, blood balls burst out, dyeing the skin of the war horse red.

The blood collided with the yellow sand to form a blood curtain, and the strong smell of blood echoed the sudden rise of fire in the stronghold, adding to the cruelty of war...

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff..."

As the riding wave passed, Jiang Kui was wrapped in the center of the riding formation. There was only a thorn in his ears of a ring-headed knife cutting through his body, and there was only a blood-red picture in front of him.

Suddenly, he could not feel a trace of pain, as if his whole body had relieved a lot. Slowly he floated up, rising higher and higher, and the sky seemed to become particularly bright at this moment...

He saw the magnificent scene of the riding formation below swarming and galloping, and saw the scene of countless soldiers shouting sadly. In the end, everything dissipated and the sky fell into darkness again. As his bloody body reached the ground, his consciousness returned to the abyss of pain.

"Puff~"

A riding iron hooves stepped on Jiang Kui's chest, and suddenly heaved the last piece of thin iron he was wearing, and then brought out a beautiful blood flower, he completely fell into despair...

"Your Lord is dead, and you won't surrender quickly~"

"Surrender~ We surrender~ Please don't kill us..."

After witnessing Jiang Kui and hundreds of soldiers being swept away by the iron cavalry, with Bai Qi shouting, the remaining soldiers in the stronghold immediately raised their weapons and walked out of the stronghold and surrendered to the Yulin Guard soldiers.

This is simply an unequal battle, and the food has been burned, so there is no need for them to fight against Huo Qing anymore...

The overall situation of the suburbs of Yuanzhou has been settled. Huo Qing looked at the sky-sky fire. On Ce and the horse's back, there was no slight slack on his face. After thinking for a moment, he called Bai Qi to his side and ordered him:

"Bai Qi, these more than 3,000 prisoners will be given to you for good care. I will give you a thousand troops to follow your dispatch..."

Bai Qi heard this and said strangely: "General Huo, where are you going?"

Huo Qing said: "I am not worried about the matter of Yuanzhou City. After all, Zhu Ling has performed such a big task for the first time. He must go and investigate just in case. I will entrust you here. If these prisoners have any abnormal movements, you can handle yourself..."

Bai Qi hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your trust in General Huo. I will be blessed to be unfair to my fate~"

"Well, that general is one step ahead..."

Huo Qing responded, immediately pointed out the cavalry from both sides and galloped towards Yuanzhou City.

After watching Huo Qing disappear into the last ray of afterglow in the sky, Bai Qi took a deep breath and looked back at the frightened soldiers in his heart. He couldn't help but think: "What should we do to establish our authority as quickly as possible? This is an opportunity, I have to think about it..."

...

In the city of Farzhou...

"What a big thing happened~~The army of the Governor's Office was defeated~~The entire army was killed by the former army's commander~~"

Under the night, under the leadership of the grain transport officer, Zhu Ling and three thousand Yulin Guard soldiers disguised as civilians mixed in the crowd and entered Yuanzhou City, immediately shouted on the street.

This shout immediately led to the collective noise among the other tens of thousands of people, and the silent city began to boil instantly.

The people who were sleeping while hearing the noise on the street, ran out of the house in panic. Under the lights, they watched the panic-filled men shouting and screaming everywhere in the dark, and they were immediately frightened.

The uneasy atmosphere soon spread throughout the city of Yuanzhou. The originally dark city gradually lit up the lights, the crying of women, children, men's scolding, and the people on the streets rushed to each other, completely stumbled into chaos.

After achieving the expected goal, Zhu Ling and other soldiers quickly took advantage of the situation to touch the city and completely controlled the internal defense of Yuanzhou City. The defenders at the city chose to surrender without much resistance. It can be said that they took down the entire city without bloodshed.

After confirming that the defenses in the city gate were controlled by him, Zhu Ling ordered loudly again: "General Huo has an order. He must not harm any gentry or people when entering the city. Unless he encounters an obstacle, he must not disobey the military order.

Now, two thousand people are left to guard the city gate, and the rest are with me to enter the inner city. After we control the Governor's Office, we will be completely victorious in this battle.

Remember, keep calm, even if you see Jiang Ze's family, don't act rashly. Just leave everything to General Huo. If anyone dares to disobey the military order, General Huo has granted me the right to make decisions. Do you understand!"

"I understand~"

"Action~"

Under the leadership of Zhu Ling, a thousand Yulin Guards crossed the chaotic streets and rushed straight to the inner city Governor's Mansion...
