The advance army of Shi Kuan's department did not have a lot of baggage, and only brought three days of rations, and the marching speed was very fast.

It only took them a little over two days to complete the more than 100-mile mountain road.

Switching to other armies, it is already very rare to be able to walk so fast on the plain.

The captain of Shenwuwei who led the march this time was named Sun Kai, and he must have his own advantages to be able to take the position of captain in Shenwuwei.

In addition to excellent military quality, decisive action is his greatest advantage.

It was already around ten o'clock in the evening when the first marching army arrived outside Xihu Town. Normally speaking, the first marching army had already marched for more than two days to rest for one night. They would raid the town early the next morning, and they would definitely be able to capture it in one fell swoop.

But Sun Kai didn't intend to do this. He called several company commanders to him and said, "We have just arrived in Xihu Town tonight. It stands to reason that we should rest overnight, and we will be capturing the town tomorrow."

"But our school doesn't plan to attack the town tomorrow. During the march today, you saw many caravans on the road coming to Xihu Town. We don't know if any of them came from the east. If there were, then tomorrow There will be a little more variables if we attack the town again."

"So I decided to attack the town tonight, what do you think?"

Sun Kai looked at the several company commanders. If they thought there was a major problem with this decision, Sun Kai would accept their opinions and attack at the right time.

Several company commanders said without hesitation: "It's up to the school lieutenant alone."

They have no objection to attacking Xihu Town tonight.

In a small town, there is no difference between attacking tonight and attacking tomorrow, just a few hours earlier, just stick to it.

Seeing that none of them had one, Sun Kai nodded and continued, "Since none of you have one, then attack the town an hour later, let your brothers eat something, rest, and recover your strength, and wait until you enter the town." , I invite them to eat meat!"

Shenwuwei warriors usually do not lack meat. Yang Yuan strongly encouraged the development of the breeding industry as early as after occupying Cangyang County.

Chickens, ducks, fish and pigs, cows, horses, donkeys and sheep, as long as you can feed them, the government will support them all. Not only are they exempt from tax, but they also set a minimum purchase price. If there is no market, they can be sold directly to the government.

At the same time, large government-run and military-run large-scale farms have also been established one after another. In addition to the salted fish that Yang Yuan brought out from time to time, the imperial soldiers have not been short of meat since the period of the Divine Guard. They cannot eat once a day. Can also have a meal or two.

Even the militia can eat a meal of meat for a maximum of three days.

Now that the Qian Kingdom has been established, the breeding and animal husbandry industries are developing by leaps and bounds. The imperial court spends more than one million taels of silver every year on the purchase of livestock, livestock epidemic prevention, and livestock breeding, and can form an army of 30,000 people.

There is no shortage of meat, but the captain still can't let go of the opportunity to treat him to some meat.

The advance soldiers who received the order were full of fighting spirit, and waited for an hour to eat the delicacies that the colonel would treat.

An hour is so fast that a person has to open his eyes as soon as he closes them.

Sun Kai punctually called up the five hundred soldiers of the advance army who were resting, and ordered to attack Xihu Town.

Attacking at night, of course, does not need to be as fanfare as during the day, Shenwuwei has not lost the combat method of the scout battalion.

More than a dozen Shenwuwei scouts held short knives and groped towards the gate of the village through the night.

The walls of the small town are not high, but they are not as easy to walk as the gate of the village. As long as the gate of the village is opened, the defense of the town will be useless.

At this time, there were only five or six guards at the gate of the village, and two people were dozing off in the haystack beside them. When a dozen scouts came over from the fence, the guards in Xihu Town did not respond at all.

It's a shame to ask them to be the guards of the gate. They should guard the warehouse. They don't even know that the warehouse has been emptied by thieves.

Puff puff......

The scouts lurked behind the guards and cut their throats with the short blades in their hands. At the same time, their mouths were covered by the scouts behind them, and they could only make a low "whoosh" sound, which soon disappeared.

Although they did not cause any trouble to Shenwuwei's attack on the town, in order to reduce the probability of accidents, the scout battalion still sent them

This is the helplessness of many people during the war. Even though they did nothing wrong, or even did nothing, they still lose their lives.

Two guards even lost their lives in their sleep.

"You two go and answer the door, and the others follow me to clean up the town watchman."

The gate of the town opened, and Sun Kai entered the town quietly with the first marching army.

The most important task of the first marching army has been completed, and the next task is to identify those people in the town who can copy their homes, which ones need to be half copied, and which ones don't?

This task is not easy, it may be even more difficult than breaking through Xihu Town.

Sun Kai was not in a hurry to let the Xianxing army complete the second task, he promised to treat them to eat meat, and he would definitely not delay.

"The brothers have been eating dry food for three days, so it's right to have a good meal first."

"Go to the biggest restaurant in the town and ask them to cook a good meal right now for the brothers to eat first. It doesn't matter anything else, the meat must be enough!"

"By the way, no drinking!"

"Yes, Captain Captain."

After the order was passed down, all the members of the first marching army supported the order, and Sun Kai also won more favor from them.

"Thank you Captain!"

"Master Captain Cowhide (broken sound)!"

"Master Captain is treating guests, you must eat more. Tomorrow morning, no, I won't eat at noon!"

 …

At this time ~lightnovelpub.net~ the excited Shenwuwei marched first to break the quiet night of Xihu Town.

Only then did the residents of the town realize that there were a group of uninvited guests in the town where they lived.

"Who are you, why did you come back to Xihu Town?"

Some people didn't understand the situation clearly, and asked arrogantly after seeing the patrolling soldiers of Shenwuwei.

He was answered with a loud slap.

"Snapped!"

"Who are we? We still need to report to you. Now Xihu Town has been captured by us. Stay at home honestly. Next time I see you appearing on the street for no reason, and I will kill you!"

The store manager was taken aback by the slap and the words of the Shenwuwei warrior. He was a little dazed, and was pushed back through the door with a humiliated expression.

After closing the door, the steward was still a little bit aggrieved, "Who are these people, why are they so rude, **** it!"

After driving a store manager back to the yard, Shenwuwei soldiers continued to patrol and drove back the people on the street. No one except them was allowed on the street before dawn.

He wasn't afraid of hitting the wrong person just now, depending on the attitude of the manager just now, he probably would have his home ransacked in the end, and he just thought of it as a pre-work for the ransacking of the house.

If you want to steal the wealth accumulated by others for many years, you must rely on reasoning alone. Who will hand over your wealth just because you opened your mouth?

Let them see Shenwuwei's determination to kill people, and let them know what it means to be afraid, before they will hand over their property.

Even if you are very unwilling, there is nothing you can do, after all, life is the most important thing.

However, there are no shortage of people who want money but don't want their lives. They have no good way to deal with these martial arts guards. They can only use the simplest way to deal with them, killing them.

The loss of people and wealth is their final result.
