What a lucky world!

Chapter 286 Pockmarked Man Enters the City
Rewind two hours.

Lei Wenying did make some preparations before leaving the city.

He naturally didn't expect Zhang Mu's Wuzhai soldiers to raid the city, so he was guarding against the government troops.

However, his defensive strategy was not to occupy and defend the city, but to ambush outside the city so that if government troops came, he could simply surround and wipe them out.

It wasn't that he was being clever; it was simply that if he tried to defend, he really couldn't.

First of all, Wan'an County is a county town with low walls and thin walls, and it only has a moat on one side. Otherwise, how could they have conquered it?

Any useful fortifications had already been destroyed during their siege.

Another issue is that the time is too short. He hasn't successfully brainwashed all the people in the county, so they won't be considered part of the White Lotus Army. If the government troops come, and they coordinate from the inside, his nearly 10,000 men will be wiped out.

Therefore, Lei Wenying arranged for his two deputies to each lead a cavalry unit and hide in the woods outside the city. If the government troops did not come, so be it; but if they did come, he would catch them off guard.

After all, if the government troops were to attack the city, they would definitely be mainly infantry.

Who would use cavalry to besiege a city?

The process of elimination!

but!

Lei Wenying never dreamed that instead of the government troops, the Wuzhai soldiers from the mountain came, and they were all cavalry!
The White Horse Cavalry, rebuilt after the great battle of the Abyss!
Zhang Mu was certainly not being foolish; he had his reasons for sending cavalry.

What kind of place is Wan'an County?
My own birthplace!
Is it so troublesome to send a few people to sneak into the city? At worst, Xuanji could just turn into smoke and go in, rescue the people from the escort agency, and then open the city gate from the inside. Is that so difficult?

and so……

The White Lotus Army cavalry and the White Horse Cavalry clashed below Wan'an County!

At first, the two deputy commanders of the White Lotus Army were only surprised, not too panicked. After all, they had a full 1,800 cavalrymen, while the other side seemed to have only five or six hundred.

1800 to 600, the advantage is on my side!

The battlefield was quiet for a moment, and then the White Lotus Army shouted "Vacuum Homeland" and rushed towards the White Horse Cavalry.

Ye Hanzhou was the leader of the White Horse Cavalry. Seeing this, he simply made a few hand gestures, and then the entire group turned their horses around simultaneously, as if they were one person.

Ran!

The White Lotus Army chased for four or five miles, but could only follow behind the White Horse Cavalry, eating their dust. It looked like a sprint distance, yet they couldn't catch up no matter what.

Damn, how come the bandits have such good horses?

Oh, horse bandits are also a type of bandit!
That's fine.

Seeing the white-horse cavalryman flee, the two White Lotus Sect vice-commanders, too lazy to give chase, turned their horses around to go back for a nap. Suddenly, they heard several muffled groans and thuds behind them. When they turned around, they found that the white-horse cavalryman, who had initially fled, had turned his horse around again and was firing arrows at them.

"Damn it, let's get them!"

The two men spoke in unison and led their cavalry forward again. The White Horse Cavalry, of course, turned tail and ran.

However, this time, as they ran, they would occasionally draw their bows and shoot back, and several more men were hit by arrows and fell from their horses!
Classic cavalry tactic – kite flying!

The White Lotus Army expressed strong protest and condemnation of this!
Shouldn't the cavalry charge in hard, splashing red and white liquid everywhere? What kind of men shoot from a distance like that, keeping their distance and avoiding direct contact?
It's not surprising that they have this idea.

There were no nomadic peoples in this world; in the minds of those two deputy commanders, cavalry was still the mighty and majestic force of charging on iron steeds.

Unlike those riding white horses, who just maneuver and then suddenly turn around and strike!

Unfortunately, my own horse is no good, and I can't hit it!

So frustrating!

Finally, the two deputy commanders, relying on their individual strength at the late stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, attempted to steal a prize, but Ye Hanzhou chopped off their heads.

Thus, the White Lotus Cavalry collapsed!
And so, the White Horse Cavalry chased after the distraught White Lotus cavalry and stormed into the county town, swiftly and decisively taking control of the situation.

……

Zhang Mu rode his horse slowly to the county town gate at sunset, a still-dripping human head hanging from the horse's neck. It was Lei Wenying.

With the Tiger Sword in his hand, unless Zhang Mu encounters a direct descendant of a powerful family at the Gathering Courage Realm, he really has no rivals.

"Chief, you've arrived!" On the city gate, several White Horse Cavalrymen waved and shouted loudly when they saw Zhang Mu.

Just as Zhang Mu was about to respond, he saw a black lightning bolt shoot out from the city gate, stepping directly on the horse's face and leaping into Zhang Mu's arms.

horse:???

"Meow..." Xuanji landed in Zhang Mu's arms and looked up at him.

Zhang Mu naturally knew what the little kitten was thinking, and smiled: "Don't worry, his mediocre skills can't hurt me!"

Xuanji stretched out her claws, climbed onto Zhang Mu's shoulder, and hung herself up.

At this moment, Ye Hanzhou also came out of the city gate and stepped forward to take Zhang Mu's horse.

Zhang Mu patted Xuan Ji on the shoulder, then dismounted and asked, "How was it? Did everything go smoothly?"

"Successfully!" Ye Hanzhou seemed to realize that this was his first time leading troops, and a smile appeared on his usually serious face. "They were just a rabble. After killing a few of the most vocal ones, the rest behaved themselves."

"I never imagined that it would be these people who turned the world upside down."

“Yes…” Zhang Mu sighed, “These people, who may have only ever held hoes and spatulas before… suddenly they’ve picked up weapons!”

"Their ferocity doesn't stem from bravery, but from seeing the other side as weaker!"

"Even if there were 100,000 people like this, they wouldn't be able to set foot on our Qianyuan Mountain."

Ye Hanzhou nodded in agreement, then suddenly said, "Brother Mu, someone wants to see you. Do you want to see him?"

Zhang Mu raised an eyebrow, thinking Ye Hanzhou was teasing him and Zhuang Xiaomeng, but he quickly noticed Ye Hanzhou's expression was off and asked, "Who is it?"

"The magistrate of Wan'an County," Ye Hanzhou said.

Zhang Mu was taken aback: "Didn't they say he hanged himself after the city fell, sacrificing his life for his country?"

"He didn't die!" Ye Hanzhou said. "He was discovered early, but he just passed out."

"Later, when the White Lotus Sect entered the city, he didn't dare to come back to life and just lay in the coffin."

“After we broke in, he sat up in his coffin and sent someone to find me, saying he wanted to see you.”

"You even said you've met me before!"

Zhang Mu looked puzzled: "I've only ever seen the previous magistrate, the one I killed. I've never seen this one before."

"It's gone?"

Zhang Mu thought for a moment and said, "Let's meet him! I want to see what this county magistrate has to say to me."

……

Yuanwei Escort Agency.

The maid Cui'er rushed into the flower hall like a little oriole, calling out, "Coming, coming..."

"Madam, Mu-ge'er is back..."

“I just heard the guys in the village saying that Brother Mu came back with the head of Commander Lei.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiaomeng breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on her tense face.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

"Amitabha, may the Bodhisattva bless you..."
