The next day, in the early morning, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle, making it suitable for travel.

Jiang Chen walked lightly, leading a total of 1,500 civilians, as well as food and various military equipment and supplies, stepping on the yellow sand, heading towards Loulan, and headed west...

If Zhang Longxiang's troops from Qingzhou want to make meritorious deeds, they must capture the city named Dongli.

According to the well-informed Chen Buxu:

This city named "Dongli" is an important town guarding the east side of the capital of Loulan Kingdom. It is located near the Kongque River, one of the two major rivers in Loulan Kingdom, and has 2,000 soldiers stationed there.

and.

The lord of Dongli City, Bu Linghou, is the elder brother of Yanzhi, the king of Loulan. It is said that he has been troubled by ghosts and gods many times. He is also one of the four princes of Loulan Kingdom and holds a rank similar to that of Prime Minister Zuo.

"Zuo Qiequ" can be described as a die-hard element. Once he attacks the capital of Loulan, he will definitely send troops to help the king!

If the Western Army wants to destroy the country, Dongli is one of the obstacles that must be removed.

In the process of advancing along the Kongque River, the work undertaken by the peasants was not only transportation, but also a more important task-dispersing the idlers!

No Loulan people are allowed to come near!

In enemy territory, no matter whether the Loulan people approaching the Qingzhou soldiers are stupid or bad, if they don't listen to the warning and insist on approaching, there will only be one end!

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

"What are you looking at?"

"Die to me!"

War has always been like this.

so,

Jiang Chen and others also obtained about fifty old weapons.

Among them, there was a brand-new Thirty Years Steelmaking Knife and a high-quality iron-inlaid willow shield, which obviously received special care from the Qingzhou soldiers.

On the second day of the march, Jiang Chen found a few traces of crickets near some river villages, but almost all of them were new insects born in spring and summer and had no medicinal value.

Occasionally, if there were people from Loulan who wanted to watch the excitement, Jiang Chen would immediately raise his long knife, show a fierce look on his face, and shout loudly to drive them away.

Xiao Wu praised:

"Although the leader looks fierce, he actually saved their lives. If the Qingzhou soldiers saw these idiots, they might not raise their swords, but use their butcher's knives."

Jiang Chen smiled and said nothing.

Saving people is on the one hand, but on the other hand, it is also because of the "Ranger of the Han Dynasty".

After many experiments, the behavior of "abandoning the sword and holding the shield" can be regarded as a ritual, which can maximize the power of "defending" in the destiny.

According to "Little Desolation Sutra", this is a kind of...acting?

And when he saved the life of the Loulan people, the white gem representing the "Ranger of the Han Dynasty" shone slightly with a white light. Jiang Chen tried to activate a fate, and was surprised to find:

Zero calories, zero sugar and zero consumption!

Every time you save a life, you can accumulate about one minute of free use time with zero energy and blood consumption!

Every few hours, people from Loulan would appear on both sides of the road. To other people, this was a trouble, but to Jiang Chen, it was a benefit.

but.

There are exceptions to this.

After a kind-hearted old Loulan woman accidentally entered the guarded area, Jiang Chen yelled at her and drove her away, but he did not get the corresponding free time.

This made him suspicious, and he immediately ordered someone to arrest the old woman, but before he could be questioned, she drank poison and committed suicide on the spot.

afterwards.

Xiao Wu took the initiative to apply for a body search, and a strange volume of scripture called "The Mahayana Record" was found on her body.

After Jiang Chen informed the school captain and handed in the "Mahayana Records", he received five small merits, which was an unexpected blessing.

The grain station official who distributed the merit reward gave a stern warning:

"Under David's law, if you hide Luo Jiao books secretly, you will be killed without mercy!"

Later, Chen Buxu asked around and obtained some information about Luo Jiao.

It is said that this is a wanted sect in David. It is extremely vicious. In the early years of the old emperor's accession to the throne, he sacrificed thirty-six villages and tens of thousands of people in one go in order to awaken the evil in their hearts.

The only god——

Innocent old mother!

Jiang Chen felt a sense of vigilance in his heart, and used five points of small effort to exchange for five grass fruits, just in case of emergency.

Although there is no half-price discount, it is still the most cost-effective medicinal material in Xiaowei's private treasury.

This was the only interruption during the march.

By the time they arrived outside Dongli City and set up camp, a total of twenty-seven faint white lights had appeared on the surface of [The Ranger of Han].

In other words, I earned a full twenty-seven minutes of free usage time!

Wonderful~

Jiang Chen was satisfied and looked up at Dongli City.

The city wall is made of yellow clay tablets and is about five feet three feet high. There is a city gate and two arrow towers in the east and west directions, which are tightly closed. There are people at the top of the city, obviously preparing for defense.

But at this time.

The messenger came on horseback and said loudly:

"Jiang Chen, the civilian husband of the camp, quickly went to Xiaowei's barracks to listen to the military meeting."

The faces of many civilians showed envy. Those who were qualified to participate in the military discussion were at least the Hundred Generals of Qingzhou.

In other words, in the captain's heart, Jiang Chen's status has reached the level of an officer.

Xiao Wu and Gongsun Hu were very excited, hoping that the "boss" could bring back some meritorious tasks.

What young people desire most is to make achievements!

Chen Buxu silently cooked the rice and licked the vinegar-pickled pebbles, enjoying himself very much.

…………

Inside the captain's tent.

Zhang Ying, who played the role of "Zhang Longxiang", looked angry and said in a deep voice:

"They are going to fight to the end!"

Just now, the envoys sent by the Qingzhou Soldiers were invited into the city by the Lord of Dongli City, but after less than a cup of tea, a flesh-and-blood head was hung high on the top of the flagpole.

It looks extremely scary!

Kill the messenger and sacrifice the flag!

Such decisive actions by the Lord of Dongli City, Bu Linghou, not only boosted morale, but also eliminated the idea of ​​​​surrendering among some of the young men in the city.

But this kind of behavior simply slapped the faces of Zhang Longxiang's Qingzhou soldiers thousands of times in public!

Many hundred generals, five hundred chiefs, and thousands of captains were furious and asked for battle. There was even a young general named "Feng Lebin" who got excited and roared loudly:

"Massacre the city!"

moment.

The whole audience was silent, and they all expressed that this was not the case.

Zhang Ying also had a headache.

The temperament of these military officials is quite similar to Zhang Longxiang himself, most of them are reckless.

Whenever there is a military meeting, he is like a wolf cub, howling and shouting:

"I will lead the charge!"

"I will be the first to attack the city tomorrow!"

"If the whole army charges, the enemy chief will be beheaded!"

Facing such a chaotic military discussion scene, Zhang Ying raised his forehead and sighed, he was just a substitute, how could he accidentally become the real leader?

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Ying turned his gaze to the only silent person present and said in a deep voice:

"Chief Jiang, do you have any good ideas?"

Hear the words.

Jiang Chen's face was calm and somewhat confident, and he immediately spoke:

"Then I'll just use it as a starting point and express my humble opinion."

"The captain and other military lords should have noticed that there are only two gates in this city."

All the soldiers calmed down and nodded in agreement.

The grain station official with a popular face, who once accepted a bribe of more than ten taels of silver from Jiang Chen, knew a little bit about business and explained:
