Not only Wu Hu, Wu City has been impregnable for many years, and the elite were taken away by Wu Qi. Even the defenders on the city wall were already tired and didn't care much about defense.

Especially after Wu Qi left, some of these defenders in the city hid in corners, eating, drinking and having fun when they were supposed to be patrolling.

This is also normal, according to reason, even if there are enemies, it is not their turn to find out. From Qingzhou to Nanhuang, there are sentry towers along the way. If there are enemies, they will immediately light up the wolf smoke. to the vicinity of the city.

And the soldiers guarding the city are mostly the children of some powerful men who are not valued in the city. They have served here for a few years and have been promoted later.

For this kind of thing, Wu Qi is not very good at stopping it, so he can only pretend that he doesn't know.

For a long time, the relationship in this city has long been intertwined, but whoever is powerful, who would not be related to his Wu family? !

If he wants to deal with it, it's not that he can't, it's just that it would be too embarrassing.

The left and right are just some unimportant positions. If you give it away, you will give it away. He still holds some key places firmly in his hands.

For example, the team in charge of opening and closing the city gates were all his innocent Wu clan children, so no outsiders could get in touch with them.

For several days in a row, Wucheng was calm, and the gates of the city were opened and closed normally every day to allow merchants to come and go.

Several months had passed since the Huangtian Rebellion, and the trade routes had already been restored.

However, Wucheng has strict restrictions on caravans. Not only the number of caravans, but also the goods have to go through several inspections. If weapons have to be confiscated when they enter the city, they will not be returned until they leave the city.

Of course, what Wu Cheng mainly guards against is not weapons, but armor and crossbows.

Especially armor, this is what Wu Cheng strictly guards against.

Even if there is an enemy army, pretending to be a businessman and entering the city, without armor, there will be only a few dozen or a few hundred people, and it will not cause much disaster.

The military camp in Wucheng is near the city gate. If there is any disturbance in the city, all you need to do is close the gate, and you will be caught.

On this day, Wu Zu led some people to inspect the city wall, but he saw that the soldiers on the city were in order, and he couldn't help nodding secretly. He still didn't know much about the operation of the city guard army, but on the surface it seemed , but there is still a bit of weather.

This is obviously because the Shangguan of the City Guard Army knew the news that he was coming, so he made this performance.

Among the people who followed Wu Zu, the closest one was Wu Hu. Although this man was tall and tall and his face was rough, his mind was very delicate. He was very close to Wu Zu, the young master. Not the slightest bit rebellious.

As for Wu Zu, at this moment, he is surrounded by the stars, looking at the vast mountains in the distance, and seeing the orderly houses inside, the crowds coming and going like ants, and the caravans in procession, and That truckload of goods.

The combination of all kinds of scenes made Wu Zu feel relaxed and happy. The future of such a city belongs to him.

It's nothing less than that, so many people seem to be big shots, so the stars are holding the moon, and the feeling of holding the mountains and rivers in the palm of their hands is really not bad.

Especially Wu Hu, as a fierce general, he used to be an unattainable figure. At that time, if he met him, he had to greet him and call him a general. But now, the other party treats him with great respect. .

For the first time, he deeply realized what the difference between master and servant is.

Even if he has not entered the genealogy and became the real young master of this place, when such signs appear, all kinds of power will naturally gather towards him.

"I don't know if my lord's trip will go well..."

Suddenly, Wu Zu sighed.

But then he said: "However, since your lord has entrusted Wu City to me, please remember that there should be no mistakes. It's just that I'm ignorant. General Wu Hu, please take care of the city defense."

Wu Zu's words are naturally not nonsense. He first mentioned Wu Qi for deterrence, and then said that he would hand it over to Wu Hu, but he was expressing his trust in Wu Hu. When translated, it probably means to follow me in the future, not suffer.

Wu Zu is undoubtedly a little bit capable, not enough to create, but enough to be successful.

"I will live up to the trust of adults!"

Wu Hu is also a wonderful person, and immediately took orders.

But this "Master" has a deep meaning, it seems to refer to Wu Qi, and it seems to refer to Wu Zu.

A little further behind, the following civil servants, seeing this scene, also had their own thoughts in their hearts. Compared with military commanders, civil servants undoubtedly have more scrutiny, and they immediately tasted the meaning inside.

And one of them even said: "Speaking of which, that bandit Zhao in the mountain was brazen enough to say that he wanted to take Wu City, but if this bandit really meets the general, he might be scared and run away."

This is naturally flattery, flattering Wu Hu.

But Wu Hu was not sloppy when he heard the words, and immediately laughed and said: "The mere bandit Zhao is just a grassroots bandit in the mountains. Call him back and forth."

"Back then, my lord could kill fifty thousand Huangtian thieves with three thousand. Although I am not as good as my lord, I can still kill five thousand thieves with eight hundred!"

"It's just a pity, that thief is just lip service, and he definitely didn't dare to come."

As soon as this remark came out, the others also laughed. Suddenly, the atmosphere on the city wall was a bit cheerful, and the distance between the few people seemed to be shortened suddenly.

Especially the strangeness and estrangement between the few people and Wu Zu, all of a sudden diluted.

...

At the same time, almost when Wu Zu mentioned Wu Qi, a bloody battle was going on in Shanglin County, Nanhuang.

Wu Qi led 80,000 troops this time, and the outside world called them 150,000. Feng and Chen joined forces to raise 120,000 troops, and the outside world called 200,000.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides encountered each other in the area of ​​Shanglin. In the past few days, there were generals confronting each other.

To this day, Wu Qi seized the opportunity to steal the camp in the middle of the night with tiger and leopard cavalry, severely defeating the coalition forces of the two sides. , so the situation is deadlocked.

It was not until noon that the soldiers and horses of the two families finally retreated.

After this bloody battle, the casualties on both sides are not small, and the war has progressed to this point, it is already impossible to retreat.

But after Ming Jin withdrew his troops, Wu Qi had just changed his blood robe when he felt a sudden palpitation and a strong sense of bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't know where this feeling came from, he could only let the soldiers in the army , Strengthen defense.

...

On this day, at midnight, it happened to be a moonless weather, and the sky was gloomy. The vanguard army led by Lin Yi passed through the mountains and forests and reached the mountains about 30 miles away from Wucheng.

After several hours, he pulled down more than ten sentry towers in a row, and finally approached Wucheng five miles before dawn.

This distance is already very dangerous. In front of Wucheng, all obstacles have been cleared long ago, so it can be said that it can be seen at a glance.

But fortunately, there was no light in the sky, and the defenses on the city were sparse. The defenders of the city said they were on duty at night, but in fact, they all found a corner and fell asleep directly.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately asked the soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion to pile up a large number of square stones at the foot of the city wall. Someone noticed.

And then, with a huge explosion, the whole Wucheng seemed to shake a few times at this moment.

Accompanied by the violent explosion and flames, many people were awakened by the huge movement. Some people hurried outside the house and immediately saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of the city wall. , At this moment, a huge gap appeared in the towering city wall.

At the same time, Ji Dong also gave an order, and he shouted loudly: "The general has broken through the city wall with his divine power."

"The soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion listen to the order and rush to kill with me!"

"Whoever enters Wucheng first will be promoted two levels in a row!"

"Everyone, make contributions, right now!"

"kill!"
