An hour later, Jiang Yi's army was already approaching Teng Teng Town.
The journey was very smooth. They did not encounter any resistance. Not only that, Jiang Yi did not even see a sentry post. It was a waste of the spell that Jiang Yi had spent a lot of money to get from Immortal Qian to cover his sight.
It turned out that what Jiang Yi didn't know was that in order to deal with Marshal Xu's inspection, the commander of the garrison army in Teng Teng Town had transferred all the soldiers who were on the sentry post outside the city back. He had also specially recruited a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people to prevent Marshal Xu from finding out his secret of taking empty pay.
? As for the enemy, what a joke. If someone dared to provoke Marshal Xu, he would die. Unfortunately, he didn't know that there was someone who dared to attack Marshal Xu.
In the forest outside Teng Teng Town, Jiang Yi used his binoculars to observe the city wall. He discovered that the situation of the guards here was similar to that of Ten Mile Town, or even worse.
The soldiers outside the city gate were also drowsy. Some of them had already fallen asleep against the city wall, and the guns in their hands were nowhere to be found.
It was the same for those on the city wall. They fell asleep while leaning against the parapet.
There were a few who were still awake, but their image was too bad. They also looked sleepy.
One had a white beard and a hunched back. His rifle could be used as a walking stick.
One of them was a little younger, but he was a little too young. He had a childish look on his face and felt like he was not much taller than the rifle in his hand.
There was also one who looked to be of moderate age, but his arms were as thick as a gun barrel. He yawned repeatedly and looked dispirited, as if he had smoked too much opiate.
"It seems that the situation within Marshal Xu's army is far more serious than I thought.”Jiang Yi murmured," Everything will proceed according to the plan in Ten Mile Town.”
Originally, Jiang Yi had planned to attack Teng Teng Town, but after seeing the situation of Teng Teng Town's guards, he decided to use the same method to attack Ten Mile Town.
Yang Dingwen, who had received the order, immediately took action. Jiang Shan, Jiang Hu, and Lyu Yang immediately led their soldiers to follow. This time, they were very familiar with the task. They quickly killed the guards outside the city gate and took control of all the guards on the city wall. Just like that, the city gate fell into the hands of Jiang Yi's army.
After leaving Jiang Hu to guard the city gate and prevent Marshal Xu from escaping, the rest of the people immediately split up. Yang Dingwen and Lyu Yang were responsible for attacking Marshal Xu's Xu Mansion, while Jiang Shan led the team to attack the original Teng Teng Town garrison stationed in the military camp.
Just as Jiang Yi's army was advancing toward the Xu Manor with great intensity, the Xu Family was in a completely different situation at this moment.
At this moment, the Xu Manor was brightly lit.
"Trash! You're trash! How many times has it been? Why is my Military Fire stolen again?”
Marshal Xu shouted angrily and threw a cup on the ground.
Marshal Xu had been in a bad mood recently. Many bad things had happened recently. First, Cao Ying in the north was eyeing him like a tiger, wanting to swallow him up. Then, he heard that a new force had risen in Chongwen Town. It was said that there were about one to two thousand people.
In order to deal with Cao Ying and the new warlord in Chongwen Town, he planned to recruit a large number of soldiers. However, his adjutant, Li Zhao, who was also the butler, told him that he was running out of money. He could not even afford to support the original six thousand soldiers.
Fortunately, Marshal Xu had a treasure map passed down from his ancestors. His great-grandfather had snatched it from the leader of an evil cult after suppressing an uprising. However, his great-grandfather did not hand it over. Instead, he secretly hid it himself. However, he had returned to Teng Teng Town for a long time and still could not find the place recorded on the treasure map.
Now, not only could he not find his treasure, but even the two batches of firearms that he had ordered from the foreign devil John in the provincial capital had disappeared. According to Steward Li, his confidant, the two batches of firearms had been bought by a mysterious buyer. As for who the buyer was, John didn't say anything. If it wasn't the provincial capital, he would have asked Steward Li to perform the Grand Memory Recovery Skill on John.
"Yes, yes, yes. Marshal is right. This subordinate is trash. Marshal, calm down.”Steward Li looked frightened on the surface, but he thought to himself, I'll tolerate you for a while longer. When I find the treasure, I'll not only take all your assets, but I'll also take all your women.”
It turned out that Steward Li had been embezzling Marshal Xu's property for a long time. He even knew that Marshal Xu's subordinates were not paid. However, he didn't expose them; instead, he covered up for them in order to get a high reward. Recently, he was even audacious enough to take a fancy to Marshal Xu's third aunt. He wanted to have something with her.
"Humph!"
Marshal Xu snorted coldly and sat on the armchair with an angry face. If Butler Li wasn't his trusted aide, he would have shot him long ago.
"Marshal, don't be angry. It's not like there haven't been any good things recently. There's already a lead on the treasure. Moreover, aren't you going to marry Fourth Aunt soon?”Steward Li walked up to Marshal Xu with a flattering expression.
Hearing this news, Marshal Xu's face became a little better. When he first came to Teng Teng Town, he had taken a fancy to a young girl from a scholarly family and wanted to marry her as his fourth concubine. However, her family refused to agree, saying that she already had an engagement, so he couldn't be blamed for using tricks. Under his coercion, that family finally relented and agreed to marry his fourth concubine three days later.
When he thought of the little girl's graceful figure, Marshal Xu revealed an infatuated expression.
At this moment, a series of gunshots shattered Marshal Xu's dream.
"Which bastard's gun went off?”
Marshal Xu was very angry, but he didn't think that someone was attacking the Xu Mansion. He just thought that a soldier's gun went off accidentally. After all, this was Teng Teng Town, the hinterland of his territory. No one could reach here so quickly. Even if someone could, there were so many sentries outside the city. They would definitely send news early.
However, Marshal Xu soon felt that something was wrong. There was usually only one gunshot. With such dense gunfire, the 500 people guarding the Xu family's house had all misfired?
That was impossible.
"No, there are enemies!"
A terrifying thought flashed through Marshal Xu's mind. Someone had entered Teng Teng Town.
Before he could react, a figure stumbled into the room. His arm was still bleeding.
"Marshal, something bad has happened. Someone is attacking. Our brothers can't hold them back anymore. Battalion Commander Li has already died in battle!”
"What?! Someone's coming in. Marshal, let's run!”
Before Marshal Xu said anything, Steward Li jumped up.
"What are you panicking for? I've been through so many battles. I've seen everything. Gather the brothers who can still move and let them break out of the back door with me!”Marshal Xu pulled out a Mauser pistol from his waist and shouted.
In his early years, he was also a valiant general on the battlefield. He had been surrounded at least seven to eight times, so he was not afraid at all.
"Yes, sir! Marshal!"
Steward Li agreed shakily. At this time, he knew that only by following Marshal Xu could he kill his way out. Otherwise, he would only be sending himself to death.
Marshal Xu had gathered more than 30 soldiers with Steward Li. Except for the soldiers who were fighting fiercely outside, all the soldiers he could gather had arrived.
Just as Marshal Xu was rushing to the back door with his men, a few beautiful figures blocked the way. It turned out to be Marshal Xu's wife and two aunts.
"Marshal, take us with you!”The three of them begged.
They were not fools, nor were they deaf. They could hear the gunshots coming from outside and knew that Teng Teng Town had probably been breached by now. They did not want to die, nor did they want to give up their current good lives. Naturally, they wanted to escape with Marshal Xu. After all, Marshal Xu still had a troop in Fukang County, and they could continue to rule there.
However, they didn't expect that Marshal Xu didn't care about them at all. He pushed them away and ran back with the soldiers. Even Butler Li, who had always been drooling over Third Aunt, didn't care about Third Aunt. After all, they knew clearly which was more important, life or women.
However, what Marshal Xu did not expect was that the back door was also heavily guarded by Jiang Yi's army. As soon as they opened the door and rushed out, they were greeted with a series of bullets. More than 20 of the 30 soldiers were killed on the spot.
Marshal Xu had no choice but to retreat to the hall of the Xu family with the remaining soldiers and Butler Li. He knew that he was trapped in the Xu residence.
At this time, the gunshots outside were getting closer and closer. The defense line at the gate had been broken through by Yang Dingwen's full force attack.
Marshal Xu could not help but fall into despair. What he did not expect was that Steward Li, who was behind him, had other ideas in his mind.
"This group of people must be here for Marshal Xu. If I kidnap Marshal Xu now and hand him over, I might be able to keep my life and maybe even become an official under the new marshal.”
Thinking of this, Steward Li made a prompt decision. He signaled the soldiers around him with his eyes to let them attack together. Then, he directly pointed his gun at Marshal Xu's head, and the other soldiers also raised their guns and aimed at Marshal Xu.
When he had just gathered them, Butler Li had been careful. Most of the soldiers were his trusted aides.
"Li, do you want to rebel? To think that I was so good to you in the past!" Marshal Xu cursed.
"Marshal, I didn't want to, but now that we're at the end of our rope, I can only use your head to exchange for the safety of us brothers!”
Butler Li was unmoved.
The three women at the side were all stunned. Things had changed too quickly, and they did not have time to react.
At this moment, a round of applause came from outside.
"Wonderful, it's really wonderful. I haven't seen such a wonderful play in a long time.”
It was Jiang Yi.
His appearance here meant that the entire Teng Teng Town had fallen into his hands.
