Portable Space Can be Summoned

Shi Kuan's first march was not encumbered by many baggage and only carried three days' worth of rations, so it marched very quickly.

It took them just over two days to complete the more than 100 miles of mountain road.

It would have been rare for any other army to be able to move so fast on the plains.

The captain of the Shenwu Guard who led the march this time was named Sun Kai. He must have his own advantages to be able to sit in the position of captain in the Shenwu Guard.

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

It was already around ten o'clock in the evening when the advance marchers arrived outside Xihu Town. Normally, the advance marchers, who had been marching for more than two days, rested overnight and raided the town early the next morning. They would definitely capture it in one fell swoop.

But Sun Kai did not intend to do this. He called several company commanders to him and said: "We just arrived at Xihu Town tonight. Logically speaking, we should rest for the night and capture the town tomorrow."

"But our school does not plan to attack the town again tomorrow. When we marched today, you also saw many caravans on the road coming to Xihu Town. We don't know if any of them came from the east. If there are, then tomorrow If we attack the town again, there will be a few more variables.”

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

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

Several company commanders said without hesitation: "The captain alone makes the decision."

They have no objection to attacking Xihu Town tonight.

It's just a small town. There is no difference between attacking tonight and attacking tomorrow. It's just a few hours earlier. Just hold on.

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

The Shenwu Guards soldiers usually did not lack meat. Yang Yuan strongly encouraged the development of breeding industry as early as after occupying Cangyang County.

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

At the same time, large-scale breeding farms run by the government and the military were also established one after another. In addition to the salted fish that Yang Yuan brought out from time to time, the imperial soldiers had no shortage of meat since the days of the Divine Guards. You can also have a meal or two.

Even the militia can only eat a meaty meal in three days at most.

Now that the Qian Kingdom has been established, the development of breeding and animal husbandry has advanced 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, livestock breeding, etc., and can form an army of 30,000 people.

There was no shortage of meat, but the chance to have some meat from the captain couldn't be missed.

The first marching soldiers who received the order were full of fighting spirit and waited for an hour to eat the delicacies served by the captain.

An hour flies so quickly that a person has to open his eyes just as soon as he closes them.

Sun Kai promptly called up the 500 soldiers of the advance army who were resting and ordered the attack on Xihu Town.

Attacking at night naturally does not require as much fanfare as during the day. Shenwuwei has not yet abandoned the combat method of the scout battalion.

A dozen Shenwu Guard scouts holding short blades walked towards the village gate in the dark.

The wall of the town is not high, but it is not as easy to walk as the village gate. As long as the village gate is opened, the town's defense will be useless.

At this time, there were only five or six guards at the village gate, and two people were dozing in the haystacks nearby. When a dozen scouts came over from the wall, the few guards in Xihu Town did not react at all.

It was really unfair to let them serve as gatekeepers. They should be guarding the warehouse. They didn't even know that the warehouse had been emptied by thieves.

Puff puff......

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

Although they did not cause any trouble to the Shenwu Guards in attacking the town, in order to reduce the probability of accidents, the scout battalion still sent them there

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

Two guards even lost their lives in their sleep.

"You two go open the door, and the others will follow me to clear out the watchmen in the town."

The town gate opened, and Sun Kai led the advance troops into the town quietly.

The most important task of marching first has been completed. Next is the second task, which is to identify those people in the town whose homes can be searched, which ones need to be searched in half, and which ones do not need to be searched?

This task is not easy, it may be a little more difficult than conquering Xihu Town.

Sun Kai was not in a hurry to let Xian March go to complete the second task. He promised to treat them to meat, and he would definitely not delay it.

"Brothers have been eating dry food for three days, so it is appropriate to eat a good meal first."

"Go to the biggest restaurant in town and ask them to cook a good meal right now for the brothers to eat first. Nothing else matters. You must take care of enough meat!"

"By the way, no drinking!"

"Yes, Lord Colonel."

The order was passed down, and everyone in the Xianxing Army was extremely supportive of this order, and Sun Kai also won more favor from them.

"Thank you, Captain!"

"Master Xiaowei Niubi (broken sound)!"

"Master Xiaowei is treating you to a treat. You must eat more. Tomorrow morning, no, I won't even eat at noon!"

...

At this time, the excited Shenwu Guards marched first, breaking the quiet night in Xihu Town.

The residents of the town discovered that the town where they lived had a group of uninvited guests.

"Who are you and why are you here in Xihu Town?"

Some people still didn't understand the situation clearly and asked arrogantly after seeing the patrolling soldiers of the Shenwu Guards.

He was answered with a loud slap.

"Snapped!"

"We still need to report to you who we are. Now that Xihu Town has been captured by us, stay at home. If you let me see you on the street for no reason next time, I will chop you with a knife!"

The store manager was startled by this slap and the words of the Shenwu Guards soldiers. He was a little confused and was pushed back through the door with a humiliating expression.

After closing the door, the steward was still a little aggrieved, "Who are these people? Why are they so rude? Damn it!"

After driving a shop steward back to the yard, the Shenwu Guard soldiers continued patrolling and drove people back on the street. No one other than them was allowed on the street before dawn.

He wasn't afraid of hitting the wrong person just now. Judging from the attitude of the manager just now, he probably would have to have his house ransacked in the end, so he just thought he was doing advance work for the house raid.

If you want to steal someone's wealth that they have accumulated for many years, you will definitely not be able to rely on reasoning alone. Who would hand over their wealth just because you open your mouth?

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

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

However, there will never be a shortage of people who want money rather than life. When encountering these divine warriors, we have no good solution. We can only use the simplest way to deal with them and kill them.

Losing both people and money is their final result.
