I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

When Ning Fei walked out of the tent, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. There was a sea of ​​fire in front of him, and many soldiers were howling and rolling on the ground.

"General Ning, what's going on?" Qingzhu ran out closely behind him.

Ning Fei immediately waved his hand and said, "Ding Ziyan, go organize people to put out the fire. Song Mingxuan, take people to check what caused the fire."

Although the fire in front of them was quite big, fortunately Ning Fei and his men had rich experience in marching and fighting, and each tent was separated by a certain distance, so the fire did not spread.

After half an hour, the army recovered from the chaos again.

Ning Fei and Qing Zhu stood outside the big tent, both of them looked unhappy. This was only the first day of marching towards Taiping County, and they had already encountered so many things.

According to the marching route, it would take them at least ten days to reach Taiping County.

If it were like this every day, they would probably be driven crazy.

"Military Advisor, don't we have any way to counter this?" Ning Fei said unwillingly. Now they are just like cattle and sheep walking in the dark.

Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, held a small knife in his hand and would attack them from time to time. It was okay for a day or two, but no one could stand it for ten days or half a month.

Even if they don't suffer too many casualties, the most terrifying thing is that they don't know when the knife will be extended.

"General, I don't have any good plan. This is Jiang Yuan's home ground. Jiang Yuan is much more familiar with the terrain and weather than we are. The most we can do is send more scouts to investigate. It will be difficult to counter them." Qingzhu said helplessly.

"Of course I know to send more scouts, but since two months ago, only one in ten scouts sent to Taiping County survived." Ning Fei said with a wry smile.

Anyone who can be a scout can at least be a sergeant in the army. If they continue to sacrifice like this, Ning Fei will not be able to bear it.

"We don't necessarily have to send scouts, we can also send ordinary soldiers. In short, the more people the better. We must be on high alert and never give Jiang Yuan the chance to play dirty tricks." Qingzhu changed his usual calm expression and said viciously.

"General, the casualty results are out." Ding Ziyan walked over with a roster.

"Read!" Ning Fei said in a deep voice.

Ding Ziyan flipped through the roster and whispered, "General, we lost less than a hundred soldiers in this fire, but over two hundred tents and several carts of food."

"Damn it!" Ning Fei clenched his fists.

"Send more people out on patrol, and the rest of you should rest and recuperate."

After saying this, Ning Fei turned and walked towards the big tent.

Time passed quickly. This was the second day that Ning Fei led his army to Taiping County. Early in the morning, Ning Fei looked at the road in front of him and could not help but sigh.

"This Jiang Yuan! He's really done anything to stop us from moving forward, even refusing to let go of the road!"

Qingzhu was also sighing on the side. It was summer now, and the road in front of them should have been solid, but Jiang Yuan had forcibly diverted the stream from the mountains above, making the road muddy. It was okay for soldiers to pass through, but carriages carrying supplies would probably be unable to pass at all.

"Ding Ziyan, you take 5,000 men and go ahead. If you encounter any road surface like this, correct it for me."

"Oh, and also, didn't you say yesterday that there are some narrow places where catapults can't pass? Ding Ziyan, you will be responsible for clearing the way ahead."

After saying these two sentences, Ning Fei was about to go crazy.

The journey could be completed in ten days, but due to Jiang Yuan's deliberate obstruction, it might not be possible to reach the destination in twenty days.

He really wanted to appear next to Jiang Yuan and slap him to death!

Although the speed slowed down, it must be said that with Zhao Shun and Ding Ziyan leading the way in front, accidents almost stopped happening. Before they knew it, a few days had passed.

On this day, Ning Fei once again kicked the road sign in front of him to pieces.

"Huh! This Jiang Yuan actually left road signs along the way. Is he afraid we'll get lost?"

"Everyone, follow me!"

Finally, on the fifteenth day, Ning Fei looked at the mountains behind him and felt relieved.

After fifteen days, we finally walked out of the mountains. Now there is a plain in front of us. All of Jiang Yuan’s conspiracies and tricks will be exposed here.

"General, how about we rest for a day and set off again tomorrow?" Qingzhu suggested.

"Need not!"

Ning Fei waved his hands angrily and said, "I can't stand Jiang Yuan doing anything to us for even a single second in the past half month."

"Anyway, according to the markings, we're less than twenty miles away from Taiping County. We'll be there by the afternoon. Let's set off immediately and flatten Taiping County!"

Qingzhu wanted to say something, but when he heard Ning Fei's words, he immediately closed his mouth.

Damn it! These days, Jiang Yuan, that bastard, has been making so much noise that they can't sleep well at night and can't even eat well.

Now that I have finally left the mountains, how can I not avenge such a great hatred!

A moment later, the army set out again. It was not until the afternoon that a small town appeared in front of them. Ning Fei couldn't help covering his mouth and nose even though it was several miles away.

"What's going on? Why does it stink so badly?"

Qingzhu's face turned green from the smoke, and the feather fan in his hand was about to smoke, but the smell still kept drilling into his mouth and nose.

"General, what's going on up ahead? Have the scouts sent any news?"

Ning Fei was about to speak when he saw Ding Ziyan, the vanguard, hurried back with several pale-faced soldiers.

"How is it? What's the situation ahead?"

Ding Ziyan frowned and said, "General, after investigation, we found that the small town ahead is indeed Taiping County, but their moat is full of feces!"

"There were only a few soldiers guarding the city. There were only two guys standing on the wall telling us to get out. Then, they disappeared without a trace."

"Damn it!" Ning Fei couldn't help but shout, but then he closed his mouth. The smell made him feel like he was in a cesspool.

"Send the army to attack the city!" Ning Fei waved his hand.

A moment later, the three thousand forwards stopped halfway through their run, and then turned back.

"General, no, we can't get through. Halfway through, the soldiers couldn't stand the stench anymore and even vomited the acid in their stomachs." Ding Ziyan complained again.

"Damn Jiang Yuan!"

Ning Fei cursed angrily, then waved his hand: "Everyone, cover your mouth and nose with wet cloths. I will lead the charge!"

"If anyone dares not charge, the Supervisory Team will kill them without mercy!"

Throwing down a word, Ning Fei opened the water bag first, soaked his cloak, covered his mouth and nose, and rushed forward with his spear.

Ning Fei felt that the short distance of five miles was as long as five hundred miles, and every minute and every second was torture.

The further they rushed forward, the stronger the stench became. In the last three miles, Ning Fei had to hold his breath. Fortunately, as a master of the sixth realm, he had no problem holding his breath for a few quarters of an hour.

Soon, when the army rushed to the moat, Ning Fei jumped directly from his horse and landed in front of the city gate.

According to my memory, there is no inner city in the small town of Taiping County, so the city gate is the weakest point. As long as it can be broken, the army can march straight in.

When the soldiers pushing the battering ram arrived, they immediately started to attack the city gate at Ning Fei's command.

After a while, the many soldiers pushing the battering ram gradually began to lose their strength. Every breath felt like eating shit. Who could stand this?

"Increase the strength!" Ning Fei shouted loudly.

It’s almost there. The only thing separating him from Jiang Yuan is this last city gate. Now he just needs to break it down and he can capture Jiang Yuan alive.

Once Jiang Yuan was caught, Ning Fei had already thought of ten thousand ways to kill him, ten thousand ways!

Along the way, they have suffered too much from Jiang Yuan. Now that the opportunity for revenge is right in front of them, Ning Fei is extremely anxious.

At this time, a few miles away, several guys with grass on their heads were lying on the ground watching everything happening in the distance.

"Sir, I think it's about time." Li Hu rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

"Shut up and wait until they get into the city."

"Besides, the army behind Ning Fei hasn't arrived yet, so why rush?" Jiang Yuan said lightly, and then quickly covered his nose.

Meanwhile, in the field, as time went on, the large army finally rushed to the city wall and began to set up ladders to climb at night.

Ning Fei's eyes were bloodshot at the city gate. Half an hour had passed, but the city gate still showed no signs of breaking. He really didn't know what this city gate was made of!

"General! There are no defenders on the city walls!"

As Ding Ziyan's voice came, Ning Fei immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Ding Ziyan in disbelief.

No defenders? What does that mean? Could it be that Jiang Yuan had no intention of defending at all?

"General! Not good! There seems to be no one in the city. We seem to have fallen into a trap!" Zhang Shun's voice came into Ning Fei's ears before he could speak.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard behind them, followed by a series of deafening noises. The sound came from the moat behind them...

"Jiang Yuan!"

Ning Fei only had time to shout out two words before he quickly hid under the battering ram. The overwhelming feces from it rained down on them.

At the same time, another loud noise was heard from inside the city gate.

boom!

Then, endless flames shot up into the sky...

From a distance, Jiang Yuan clapped his hands in satisfaction at the scene before him.

"That's right. I worked so hard to set up so many traps. Even if Ning Fei's army doesn't suffer heavy losses, they will at least be disgusted."

"Okay, let's go to Taiping County and wait for Ning Fei to arrive."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan turned around and left. Not long after he left, Jiang Yuan turned around with a sneer.

At this moment, a roar came from far behind him. It was Ning Fei's voice.

"Jiang Yuan! I will fight you to the death!"
