Chapter 129 Rebel Uprising
Liu San looked at the rising smoke and dust with cold eyes, like the falling snow in the cold winter. Wei Chang, who was leading the army, glanced at Liu San coldly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and let out a cold snort, as if he was talking to Liu San.
Disdain and ridicule.
"I've met Brother Wei." Liu San's face was full of smiles, but there was a trace of helplessness in his tone.
"Yeah." Wei Chang looked contemptuous and indifferent, his eyes full of contempt and hostility.
Seeing this, Liu San was not angry. He just stepped aside silently and looked at the soldiers under Wei Chang's command. There were about ten thousand people in this team. They had various weapons and their expressions were slightly nervous.
.
Liu San knew that these were probably the new recruits of the Chuang Army. This battle was used to train troops and was also a test for them by King Chuang.
While Liu San and Wei Chang were waiting, three thousand people of infantry came from the south. A strong man sat on horseback and looked at Liu San and Wei Chang without speaking to them.
His eyes were firm and calm, as if he had experienced countless life and death tests in this war.
At this moment, a man walked out from Wei Chang's army. This man was a little short, slightly curled up, and a little hunchbacked. But when he walked up to Wang Ziyong, he seemed extremely respectful.
Wei Chang respectfully supported Wang Ziyong and said loudly: "This is Mr. Wang Ziyong, the second head of the Chuang Army, known as Zijin Liang!"
The strong man on horseback immediately dismounted and said respectfully: "I am Miao Mei, a subordinate of Brother Shen Yiyuan, and I have met Brother Wang!"
Wang Ziyong smiled and nodded, indicating that he already knew the strong man. Then he turned his head and looked at Liu San.
When Liu San saw Wang Ziyong's eyes moving towards him, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He quickly said: "I am Liu Jiusi, a subordinate of Brother Zhao Sheng and Zhao. I have met Brother Wang."
Wang Ziyong looked at Liu San and handed over a letter in his hand. He said solemnly: "This is a letter from King Chuang to the eldest brother of the Zhao family. Please deliver it on your behalf."
"I will definitely deliver this letter to my eldest brother with my own hands," Liu San said in a deep voice as he took it.
Now that everyone is here, let’s set off! Wang Ziyong said decisively.
"Yes!" The three responded in unison, their voices echoing in the empty river valley.
Wei Chang immediately led the people towards the river, and their footsteps echoed in the quiet valley, like arrows piercing the sky piercing the silence.
Miao Mei led the team closely behind, while Liu San fell at the end of the team, like an invisible curtain, guarding the safety of the army behind it.
The army slowly walked through the river, and the cold river water made everyone shiver, as if it foreshadowed the unknown challenges ahead.
Fortunately, the river was not wide. Wei Chang led his men to the other side and immediately dispersed the team to provide warning. After everyone successfully landed on the shore, Wang Ziyong immediately called the three generals to him.
The remaining sergeants began to build the camp in full swing, and the sound of the collision of shovels and stones echoed in the river valley, like a passionate war song.
"We are still two days away from Fugu. In my opinion, we should take a rest for the time being and not rush it!" Wang Ziyong finished speaking calmly and looked at the three people in front of him calmly.
The three of them looked down at the map. Liu Sanlue pondered for a moment and then said, "I think it's better for us to divide our troops into two groups. One group will attack first and the other group will be used as backup."
Upon hearing this suggestion, the three of them looked at each other. Wei Chang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Liu, do you have any clever ideas?"
Liu San smiled softly and continued: "Now that the imperial court is invaded by Jiannu, its troops are already empty. We cannot give the Ming army any chance to breathe, so the sooner we send troops, the better."
After hearing this, the other two nodded in agreement.
At this time, Miao Mei stepped forward and said with great pride: "In that case, I will lead my men to attack first." Wei Chang looked at Miao Mei, his eyes full of scrutiny, as if he was just looking at this heroic man at this moment.
The warriors developed respect.
"I think it's more appropriate for me to lead the army there," Wei Chang said calmly.
"Let's put this aside for now, let's consider when to act first?" Wang Ziyong calmly interrupted their argument.
Liu San said without hesitation: "Of course, the sooner the better. I suggest we set off tomorrow and attack in three days."
"That's very good!" Everyone agreed.
Wang Ziyong continued: "Since it is Brother Liu's suggestion, how about letting you lead the army?"
Liu San politely declined, saying that he was willing to take up the post of Suan Hou.
Finally, the battle plan was decided, and Miao Mei bravely led his men to set off first, followed the next day by Wang Ziyong and Wei Chang.
On the third day, Liu San led the team again. Liu San's decision was recognized by everyone, but the other three were surprised.
The four of them knew that this battle was bound to win, and whoever entered the city last would probably get nothing. Therefore, the remaining two people competed to seize the vanguard position.
The next morning, Liu San quietly watched Miao Mei lead the team to leave without taking any action. Wei Chang stayed by Liu San's side all day long, worried that he would lead people away first, so he kept a close eye on him all day long.
On the second day, after Wei Chang led the people away, Liu San immediately gathered the team and galloped away to the north regardless of everyone's doubtful looks.
Miao Mei stared at the Ming army who were waiting in Fugu City, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous smile. She said leisurely: "Empty airs!" Then, she turned around and ordered to the sergeants around her: "Get ready to attack.
city!"
The guard general of Fugu City looked up and saw a mighty army approaching him. His forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat. Now, the soldiers who went to support the capital have not returned yet, and there are only three tired soldiers and horses in the city.
"Prepare for war!" As the defender roared, the Ming army gathered sparsely on the tower, and their morale was obviously low.
"Attack!" As Miao Mei shouted, flint and arrows poured down like a shower. The Ming army on the tower was instantly suppressed and could only flee in confusion.
Seeing this scene, Miao Mei clenched her sword, took the lead, and led her soldiers to fight bravely towards the enemy. "Counterattack, counterattack quickly!" the generals who defended the city shouted. However, the Ming troops who defended the city were all newly trained.
Yue's new army, faced with such a fierce offensive, panicked and their counterattack had little effect.
Looking at the enemy who had begun to climb the city, the guard could only grit his teeth, step forward, and engage in a life-and-death struggle with the enemy. After the Ming army was briefly distracted, they gradually regained their instincts on the battlefield and began to organize an effective counterattack.
In the end, the Ming army successfully pushed back the rebels. Miao Mei was not angry when he saw this. He did not expect to succeed in one attack, so he asked his soldiers to rest for a while and prepare to launch a second attack.
Under Miao Mei's firm belief and command, the rebel army broke through the outer city of Fugu, and the defending general retreated to the inner city with the remaining two men. Miao Mei did not pursue, but quickly consolidated the city defense and prepared to deal with the Ming army
counterattack.
On the other side, Wang Ziyong heard the Fugu battle report reported by the spies and said to Wei Chang: "It seems that we still have to speed up!"
