Chapter 96
Red Leaf Forest!
This is Lingyun City, a forest about ten miles away.

In this forest, there are many local products, which can provide a lot of income and food for the residents of Lingyun City, which is also a feature of Lingyun City.

However, Lingyun City is now under military control, so the residents rarely leave the city and come to the Red Leaf Forest to collect special products.Over time, the red leaf forest is full of straw mushrooms and some fungus and other products.

The red leaf forest is very big, hidden in it, there is no need to worry about being discovered.

Meng A Niu was sitting on a grass field, biting a piece of green grass, looking towards Lingyun City through the shadows of trees.

Ten days ago, Huang Yun and Shu Shanhe led their troops to the expedition. For the sake of safety, Meng A Niu was in charge of urging the food and grass, and he had already defended the Duanhun Pass, so he could not go on the expedition, and he was in charge of the logistics, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.

Three or four days passed in a flash, when Meng Aniu was waiting very anxiously, Zhou Cang led some elite soldiers and came from Yundan Kingdom.

Today's Zhou Cang is already the lord of the city, regardless of his position and status, he is already one level higher than Meng A Niu. On this point, Meng A Niu admires him very much.However, what troubled Meng A Niu the most was the army brought by Zhou Cang.After a period of appeasement and suppression, coupled with the enlightenment of Zhou Cang and the national policy of Yanhuang Kingdom.Some of the residents of Yundan have surrendered.Then Zhou Cang used the knowledge he had gained in the barracks to start conscription.Because Zhou Cang knew that there would be a big war in Yanhuang Kingdom soon.Although Huang Yun didn't say it clearly at the time, the situation of the battle was already there.

It doesn't matter whether the future war is the victory of the defense of the Mangniu vassal state, or the successful destruction of the Mangniu vassal state by the three-way rebels, or whether the two sides will end peacefully after the final bloody battle.In short, as a major force in the territory of the Mangniu vassal state, Yanhuang Kingdom must use its own position to either participate in the war to exterminate the Mangniu vassal state, or to participate in the battle to exterminate the rebels.Of course, if the final battle between the rebel army and the Mangniu vassal state ended in peace, it would definitely be a good thing for the Yanhuang state.

As the only region in the entire vassal state that has no civil strife and is unified, has sufficient food and grass, and strong citizens, as long as a huge army is formed, it is absolutely obvious that it can take advantage of the chaos to obtain more territory. up.So after Zhou Cang took office as city lord, he continued to brainwash the people and at the same time recruited some capable young men.Coupled with some recently captured refugees, they need to survive and need more food, and being a soldier is undoubtedly a better way to obtain food, so in Yundan City, being a soldier is still very fanatical.

In addition to retaining a hundred elite soldiers to defend the situation in Yundan City, Zhou Cang brought a total of more than 400 soldiers.Although these soldiers are still a bit lacking in terms of training, they are generally good. As long as they participate in more bloody battles, they can grow up quickly.

After the rounds between the two sides, Meng Aniu was still waiting.Because when Huang Yun left, he sent a summoning order to all the four cities, asking the four cities to send out some soldiers with the maximum output capacity.

Now Yundan City arrived first because it was the closest, but the other three cities have not yet arrived, so Meng Aniu can't leave immediately.

Another day later, the troops from Heiwangcheng and Qiwangcheng, led by a young general, came to Duanhun Pass.This young general is a rookie of the Yang family, named Yang Zhao, with extraordinary martial arts skills, and will be the future pillar of the Yang family.

The foundations of Heiwangcheng and Qiwangcheng are not as good as Yundancheng, so the two cities work together, but they can only gather an army of 200 people, and their combat power is not as good as Yundancheng.

But with Yang Zhao alone, he is better than hundreds of elite soldiers.After only chatting with Yang Zhao for a while, Meng A Niu knew that Yang Zhao was a general, and he would definitely have a part in the future rise of Yanhuang Kingdom.

Therefore, Meng Aniu treated Yang Zhao very warmly, and after discussing with Zhou Cang, he sent a fast horse to Heiwang City, negotiated with the local commanding general, and borrowed Yang Zhao for use.The general who defended the Black King City didn't say anything about it, and only replied with the word "yes".

One day later, the soldiers of Yanhuang City, led by a female general, slowly arrived at Duanhun Pass.

Since Huang Yun had already taken an army with him when he left, Yanhuang City only dispatched 200 people this time.Among them are one hundred female soldiers and one hundred male soldiers. The general of the female soldiers is called Mu Gui, who is known as the overlord of the women's middle school, and the iron gun in one hand makes people feel chills.The male general is called Xue Gui, known as the God of Fire, who is good at wielding a big axe, with extraordinary strength, and has the power to split Huashan Mountain with an axe.

The four-city meeting was over, and Meng Aniu didn't stay with them for a long time, and directly followed Huang Yun's arrangement, and handed over the defense task of Duan Hun Guan to Zhou Cang.Then he led more than 700 elite soldiers, according to Huang Yun's instructions, rushed to the destination red leaf forest, and quickly took cover.At the same time, the remaining [-] soldiers were temporarily stationed at Duan Hun Pass as backup.

At this time, there is a day before Huang Yun and Meng A Niu's meeting date.

In other words, one day later, Meng A Niu will lead his soldiers to attack Lingyun City.

So today, after Meng A Niu observed the situation in Lingyun City, he specially led several generals into the depths of the red leaf forest, hunted and killed more than a dozen wild animals, and boiled them for cooking.

But because the city will be defeated tomorrow, the whole army is not allowed to drink alcohol, and Meng Aniu is no exception.

While gnawing on the chicken legs, while looking at the soldiers dancing with tinder, Meng A Niu muttered: "Fuck, why doesn't my old cow have these fancy intestines?"

There was no way, because there were a hundred female soldiers present, and those male soldiers, as if they had seen an affair, kept rushing towards them, hoping to find a chance to embrace the beauty.

Seeing such a scene, Meng Ah Niu's heart itch, but unfortunately he is too stupid, no female soldier is willing to talk to him.

Just when Meng A Niu was distressed, Yang Zhao, who was specially seconded this time, had just returned from patrolling the surrounding environment. When he saw Meng A Niu, he immediately said respectfully: "Report to the general, the general is in a mountain in the west of the city. Yo, found a secret hut."

"The hut, is there anyone living there?" Meng A Niu stared at Yang Zhao and asked.

"Because it is close to Lingyun City, my subordinates dare not get too close, but when my subordinates left, they saw smoke rising from the hut." Yang Zhao replied in disguise.

Due to the military control of Lingyun City, the surrounding residents were also forced to move into Lingyun City, so it is impossible for anyone to live outside the city and even light a fire to cook.

You must know that the red leaf forest is more than ten miles away from Lingyun City, but Meng Aniu did not dare to make the bonfire too big to attract the attention of Lingyun City.

After fiercely tearing a mouthful of flesh from his thigh, Meng A Niu stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look."
