In the Heavens

At midnight, the quiet camp became solemn, with thousands of soldiers lined up neatly exuding a terrifying murderous aura.

Since the rebels don't come to attack the camp, they can only go to the door by themselves. At any rate, he had led soldiers before, and Li Mu understood the principle of attacking his unpreparedness.

In the era of cold weapons, night combat is a long-standing problem. If it was just a county soldier, Li Mu would definitely not take such a risk.

But with the three thousand elites of his own family, everything will be different. For warriors, night vision is not a problem.

Although it is a bit extravagant for cavalry to dismount and serve as infantry, in military affairs, occasional extravagance is still allowed.

After patrolling around, Li Mu waved his big hand and ordered: "Scatter and sneak to the gate of the city, wait for the attack signal, and start with me now!"

While speaking, Li Mu had already jumped out. From time to time, he waved his sword energy and made several sword strikes in front of him. The rebels, who were in a state of paddling, failed to escape in the end.

In an instant, he came to the city. Looking at the city wall repaired by the rebels, Li Mu smiled slightly.

For high-level warriors, bricks and stones are too fragile. If the city wants to exert its due defensive ability, it must have the cooperation of a large formation.

It's a pity that the rebel army has not yet been able to deploy large city defense formations. It's just repairing the gap in the city wall, a proper tofu project.

Pulling out Gun Gun in his sleep, Li Mu pointed at the city wall and said, "Did you see that, go over and break down that section of the city wall.

What you eat next month will all depend on your performance tonight. Make a big gap, and there will be enough bamboo shoots next month. Otherwise, go out and find bamboo to chew on yourself! "

At present, Gun Gun has never been able to resist. Even if it is very dissatisfied with "disturbing the panda's clear dream", it just waved its paw and asked for "extra meal".

Facing the angry Gun Gun, Li Mu touched the back of Gun Gun's head, and said soothingly: "Don't make trouble, Gun Gun, let's get down to business first.

Listen to you this time, two months is two months. Move a little more sloppily, get the job done early so we can go back to bed. "

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Gun Gun a chance to continue bargaining, and kicked it out, as if he was kicking a football.

For Lingzhu's sake, Gun Gun instantly transformed into a three-foot-tall giant bear. Leaping in the air, the huge bear's paw hit the city wall directly.

The guarding soldiers who hadn't reacted yet thought they were hallucinating when they saw the bear's paws falling from the sky. Before waking up, it had already turned into meat paste.

The bear's paw slapped on the city wall, making a loud noise, which woke up the remaining officers and soldiers defending the city.

"Monsters attacking the city", this idea came to mind, and the body had involuntarily chosen to escape.

The unknown is always scary. The behemoth in front of them was obviously beyond their cognition.

Looking at the collapsed parapet, Li Mu couldn't bear to look directly at it. Seeing Gun Gun slapping hard, he can only sigh: It's terrible to be uneducated.

The demolition of directly smashing down obviously does not conform to the principles of mechanics. It's just that for a violent iron-eating beast, it seems that there is no need to talk about science.

If one palm is not enough, just give another palm. The carrying capacity of bricks and stones is always limited, and each slap of the palm can take away a large amount of debris.

The city wall that was originally neat and orderly was soon torn apart. The city wall that was slapped by Professor began to sink and collapse, and Li Mu had a new understanding of the strength of the rolling.

Replacing him would definitely not be able to produce such an effect, even if he had a higher cultivation base. Compared with monsters, human beings are still far behind physically.

Perhaps I felt that patting was not enough, so after a dozen consecutive shots, Gun Gun directly changed to hitting. Nuo Da's bear body hit it directly from the side, and the originally torn city wall couldn't bear the pressure, and instantly fell apart.

Once the gap is opened, the subsequent demolition work will become much smoother.

The guarding officer, who was belatedly aware of this matter, has already reacted to this matter. It's just that the big shots are enjoying the blessings in the city. How does he know how to deal with the "monster attacking the city" in front of him?

Forcibly restraining the terrifying city guard officer, he said in a trembling voice, "Go quickly and report to the hall master. There are monsters attacking the city, we need...reinforcements!"

If someone observes carefully, they will find that the bottom of this person is already wet, and there is a puddle of liquid full of peculiar smell on the ground.

Seeing that the gap was big enough, Li Mu immediately issued an order: "Attack!"

While speaking, he still didn't forget to step forward and retract the mischievous rolling. There is no way to play it again. As if he had encountered something interesting, Gun Gun was doing demolition in different ways.

Kicking, slapping, body bumping, sitting on the buttocks, hitting the head... all kinds of tricks continue to kill. If it wasn't for his good physique, he would definitely be able to play himself to death.

The chilling night raid and siege of the city can all play a comedy effect, and Li Mu has nothing to say. In order to avoid killing one's own people by mistake, they can only take it back first.

Following the torn opening, the army quickly poured into the city. Sectional Master Zhou, who had just received the monster attacking the city, had not had time to think of a countermeasure when he was awakened by the deafening shouts of killing.

It was obviously brought by people from the imperial court for this night attack. Zhou Qihang also wanted to cry, but he only occupied a small county town. As for such a big battle?

A third-tier monster that is rarely seen by ordinary people in their entire lives is actually used in the offensive and defensive battles of a small county town, which is properly overkill.

"Hall Master, what should we do now?"

The eagle-eyed old man asked.

Everyone looked at Zhou Qihang expectantly, the situation in front of them had exceeded expectations. Before I understood what was going on, the enemy broke through the city, which was completely beyond everyone's mental capacity.

"Immediately lead the elite to intercept it immediately to see if we can block the gap. If we can't stop it, we will..."

Before Zhou Qihang could finish speaking, he heard the sound of the beams collapsing, and everyone hurriedly dodged in fright. Seeing the huge bear paw print on the ground, everyone broke out in cold sweat.

After realizing it, there was already one more person and one panda in the field, and it was Li Mu and Gun Gun.

After all, they are old acquaintances, out of respect for them, Li Mu thinks it's better to give them a ride in person.

The only pity is that this joy cannot be shared. After changing a vest, these guys in front of him don't know him at all.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Every time a slap sounded, it meant that a person's head was shattered, and it was obvious that the naughty Roll was ready to slap the back of the head to the end.

Doomed to be impossible to rescue, Li Mu didn't bother to waste his efforts. This is a "bear child" in the true sense, and it cannot be demanded according to human standards.

The beheading operation was completed, and the leaderless rebels naturally did not escape the fate of destruction. Except for a few who broke out with a bright head, the rest either lay dead or became prisoners of war.

When the war ended, the red sun in the sky just happened to rise, and a new day began. Longshan County has since entered a new era.

...

This was just the beginning. In the next month or so, the three Li Mu brothers led troops to recover the four counties of Yunshan, Dengchuan, Baishui and Yuefeng one after another. The situation in Hanchuan County, which was originally in jeopardy, was suddenly reversed.

Successive good news brought not only surprises to the county government, but also fright.

Sometimes being too good at fighting is also a sin. This will make other colleagues appear very incompetent and attract countless criticisms.

It doesn't matter if you don't divide the merits, who made the three brothers Li Mu the big ones? There are people in the court who are good at being officials, and the credit they get is simply not something they can erase.

The key is that after regaining the lost land, Li Mu also implemented military control in the local area in the name of exterminating the remnants of the rebels, and did not give everyone a chance to intervene.

This caused public outrage, not only offending his immediate superior Zhu Junwei, but also standing on the opposite side of the family in the county.

Not before Li Mu launched an offensive to the sixth county seat, he received thirteen orders from the county in a row, strongly urging them to go back to discuss matters.

On the way back, Li Liang said worriedly: "Brother Thirteen, we have done such a great job this time, I'm afraid the county will not be able to explain it to me!"

The interests of the five counties were swallowed up by the three of them in one gulp, not even leaving the soup to other forces. If it weren't for their identities and strengths, these guys would have already done something secretly.

"It doesn't matter. We were here to negotiate this time. Except for Zhu Junwei and a group of colleagues in the army who were offended badly, the others did not have direct conflicts with us.

For the county guards and the county magistrates, we continue to defeat the rebels and regain lost ground, which is to keep their official titles for them. Compared with this, everything else is a section.

Anyway, the imperial court will send officials over next, and those unlucky ones will be emptied. As long as we can guarantee that the annual taxes are paid on time, they will not make things difficult for us.

The three aristocratic families in the county have just expressed their goodwill not long ago, and they will not be in a hurry to turn against us now. People have sent people to their pillows, and we should release some news.

Implied to them, we stay here for a full term, and we will be promoted and leave after earning enough political achievements. At that time, we will distribute the land in these five counties to our friends before we leave.

In exchange for such a big benefit, we can spend five years here. If you can't agree to this, then you really don't take my Dingyuanhou's mansion seriously. Being able to hang out in the circle, they must know how to weigh the pros and cons.

Without the participation of these local snakes, it is only the dissatisfaction of a few colleagues, what can we do? Even in front of us, they dare not show it. "

After hearing Li Mu's explanation, Li Song and Li Liang, who were originally worried, suddenly became enlightened as if they had been enlightened.

Compared with local forces, their biggest disadvantage is that they are outsiders without foundation. Sometimes disadvantages can also be turned into advantages.

In the eyes of the outside world, the three Li Mu brothers with bright futures, their tenure in Hanchuan County is just a transition, and it will only be a matter of one or two terms at most.

Since it is not a long-term stay, no matter how much you get now, it is only temporary. Once the three of them leave Hanchuan, these interests will still belong to everyone.

Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and there is no reason to give up the benefits swallowed by strength. The Hou Mansion has invested so much, and it must not be without returns.

What's more, after such a change of hands, it is not without benefits. With a few years of buffer, we can still do a lot of things.

For example: secretly trying to find a way to send the original owner of the land away.

The more borderless land, the higher the final income for everyone. For the sake of long-term interests, temporary loss does not seem to be so unacceptable.

As for the end of a term, it will be five years later. Regardless of whether they want to continue to stay and cultivate Hanchuan County, the benefits of the past five years have been taken by them.
