MTL - As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Chapter 67 defeated
Chapter 67
"The granary was burned?"
Jiang Ming was astonished, what kind of mob army is this?
The Cangshan Army was able to besiege Jiangnan Prefecture for several months, but it was because of the failure of the siege that they wanted to rely on their abundant supply of food and grass to try to trap Jiangnan Prefecture to death.
No one would have thought that the Cangshan Army’s own buttocks had been shot before the Jiangnan Mansion was captured...
Jiang Ming reacted immediately: "There is an inner ghost in the Cangshan Army?"
The granary is an important place for military strategists, and it must be guarded by experts. Even if the imperial army sent people to sneak in to burn grain and grass, they would be discovered as soon as the open fire ignited, and it would not burn much...
The only possibility is that there is an inner ghost, and the inner ghost is not young, otherwise, he would not be able to make such a big move!
Guan Feng nodded: "You are smart, you guessed it right away... I heard that the grain and grass battalion guarding the granary mutinied collectively, killed a few disobedients, and then secretly used kerosene and spirits in the middle of the night to ignite several people at the same time. The ten granaries... were completely burned down in one fell swoop, and then escaped without a trace while taking advantage of the darkness!"
"And the imperial army of the Jiangnan Mansion even shot countless arrow feathers tied with paper strips while the flames were soaring into the sky, mocking the Cangshan Army with obscene language, saying that they are homeless orphans who only know how to brag Fighting like a **** or something..."
Jiangnan is speechless, high-end wars often really only require the simplest operations... The Cangshan Army has been besieging the city for several months, and it is also in the cold weather, and the morale of the army is probably the most chaotic time.
This wave of food and grass was burned, coupled with crazy taunts... At this time, the Cangshan Army is probably in a state of desperation.
It can only be said that there are still ruthless people in the imperial army, who have developed the entire grain and grass camp into undercover agents, but they have been patient until now before making moves... It can only be blamed that the Cangshan army is still too young, and was severely manipulated by the imperial army.
"If the imperial army suddenly attacks at this time..." Jiang Ming said suddenly.
"When the news came back, the cavalry of the imperial army had rushed out of the city..." Guan Feng glanced at him and sighed: "This time the Cangshan Army will shed a layer of skin even if they don't die!"
"Alas..." Jiang Ming also sighed. He didn't care about the success or failure of the Cangshan Army, but if the Cangshan Army was in chaos, these common people would also be unlucky.
Although he knew for a long time that the Cangshan Army would not be able to accomplish anything, but when this moment came... Jiang Ming still felt a little helpless.
A moment later, Jiang Ming bid farewell to Guan Feng, and returned home with the new year's goods. When they met, they threw Zhou Wenxiu a burden:
"Practice boxing every day, and I've become a savage... The clothes and rouge I bought for you will make you spend the New Year!"
"I don't want it, it's so colorful and ugly..." Zhou Wenxiu snorted, but her mouth was almost grinning to the ear.
"Stupid girl..." Jiang Ming shook his head, and threw the rest of the things to her: "Clean up, cook quickly...I'm starving to death!"
He himself went back into the house, and happily cooked the best tea, ignoring the vicious eyes behind him...
"Now that the Cangshan Army is in decline, it may only be a matter of time before the army is defeated!"
After dinner, Jiang Ming lay dozed in the bamboo chair, but his thoughts came alive: "The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Those who used to use the Cangshan Army to make a fortune, it is time to find an opportunity to liquidate it!"
"Now I'm among the second-rate fighters, and I can be considered to be very strong. With the help of the blood-burning knife technique and the triggering of super senses, I may not be able to fight with the first-rate fighters..."
"Of course, it's impossible..."
The head of the city changes the king's flag, sit and watch the prince become a new ghost...
Jiang Ming doesn't want to be an early bird, it is naturally the best to fish in troubled waters!
…
A few days later, the tavern.
Jiang Ming was sitting at the counter, drinking the good wine specially bought for him by Lao Jiangtou, and listening to many drinkers discussing current affairs.
The news that the Cangshan Army granary was burned finally reached here the day before yesterday, causing a commotion immediately.
"The boss Zhu Shi is so shameless, he emptied out my rice shop..."
A middle-aged man in slightly neat clothes was furious, and his body was still covered with beige. It didn't take much guesswork to know that Zhu Shichang led someone to beat him.
Jiang Ming heard the words and looked over. This person used to be a herb picker. He was lucky enough to pick Fire Cloud Grass during the Yaowang turmoil, and sold the money to open a shop... He thought he was going to prosper, but he didn't expect to encounter this disaster.
"This is just the beginning..." Jiang Ming whispered in his heart.
According to Guan Feng, the imperial court has dispatched a large army from the capital to coordinate with the defenders of the Jiangnan Prefecture. A total of 500,000 troops have been forced out of the Jiangnan Prefecture, intending to completely surrender the Cangshan Army.
However, the Cangshan Army caught fire in the backyard again. The northern aristocratic families and chambers of commerce that had been brought over were supposed to provide food and grass for the Cangshan Army...but they jumped ship overnight, cutting off the supply to the Cangshan Army.
Even rebellions broke out in many northern cities, overthrowing the defenders of the Cangshan Army. Even the people who once supported the Cangshan Army the most have become silent now.
Just a few days passed, and the Cangshan Army seemed to be in a precarious situation, ready to capsize at any time.
"This is too much benevolence and righteousness..."
The common people will be moved by benevolence and righteousness, and the aristocratic family will smile at you because of benevolence and righteousness, but benevolence and righteousness alone are not enough to tame them...
Another four or five days passed, and the town of Pingan became more and more chaotic. Zhu Shichang led people to arrest young men on the streets, search for food and silver, and sent them to the front to fight.
Fucheng is said to be many times more chaotic than Ping'an Town. The Cangshan Army looted and killed people everywhere, as if they had suddenly turned from a Bodhisattva to a devil...
"Zhu Shichang, I have no food left..."
On this day, Jiang Ming stood at the door, blocked Zhu Shichang's chubby body, and frowned.
Zhu Shichang's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse like a bellows: "Silver, copper plates...I want them all!"
"And you... Master Jiang, would you like to go to the battlefield to fight for glory and wealth?"
Behind Zhu Shichang, two guards quietly took a step forward.
"Zhu Shichang, don't be too impulsive. You need to be easy to talk to. I have a lot of hunting tigers..." Jiang Ming said indifferently without panic.
Zhu Shi trembled, and his head seemed to be a little clearer. He stared at Jiang Ming for a moment, then turned and left, leading people to other houses.
"You can't do this..." Jiang Ming stared at Zhu Shichang's leaving back, but shook his head.
Now the defeat of the Cangshan Army has been decided. According to the news from Feiyun Fort...the army in front has already become a rout, retreating steadily, and being beaten like a bereaved dog...
It is not certain whether they will be able to withdraw to Jiangbei, but Zhu Shichang dares to search for money so rampantly...
Jiang Ming thought of this guy's immediate boss, Li Yong. Both of them were sleazy and bad, and they went wherever there was a lot of money. It can be said that they have no loyalty to the Cangshan Army. own purse...
"Originally, I planned to go directly to Fucheng and stay at Shi's house!" Jiang Ming said to himself: "But since you dare to find me, then I will give you a ride first!"
Ever since Zhu Shichang came here, he has not missed his protection fee...and also cheated Yu Asheng of several taels of silver. Let's count this debt together today.
"This guy, is he trying to rip off the Shi family?" Jiang Ming looked at the direction Zhu Shichang was walking, his eyes moved slightly, and he had already thought of a way to do it.
Told Zhou Wenxiu that he was going to drink, Jiang Ming just left the house...
Thanks to the book friend Giant Elk for the reward, the boss is generous, thank you boss!
