Until late at night, Lu Qianqian led his troops and went out of the city to call for battle.

There were shouts and the enemy troops chased him from all directions like a tide.

Seeing that the time had come, Li Jiuzhou said softly: "Let's go!"

A group of people took advantage of the dark night and high wind to sneak out of the city quietly.

Yang Guozhong was sleeping when he heard the sounds of killing outside. He thought the enemy had invaded, so he dressed in a panic and tried to escape.

When the soldiers reported back, they found out that it was Lu Qianqian who led the Jiannan Army to fight out of the city. Yang Guozhong was furious: "This Lu Qianqian dared to disobey military orders and act without authorization. He rebelled. He rebelled."

While the enemy's attention was focused on Lu Qianqian's side, Li Jiuzhou's progress was relatively smooth. No enemy troops were seen along the way, and they even accelerated their march and headed straight for Hushan.

When we arrived at Hushan, we found that it was indeed full of thorns, making it difficult to move forward.

The group of people did not dare to make too much noise, and endured the pain of shaving their faces with thorns to reach a higher place.

"Jiang Chong, have you ever thought about where you plan to go after this battle?" Wan Nanshan asked in a low voice from behind.

"I haven't thought about it yet. It's best to have no battle to fight. Just rely on me and you won't have to worry about starving to death wherever you go. What about you?"

"I can do anything. It's best not to come to this ghost place again." Wan Nanshan pushed away the thorns on his face and touched his sore face.

Jiang Chong glanced back and said mockingly: "You are thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so you are afraid that these branches and leaves won't be able to penetrate."

"Hush!" Li Jiuzhou whispered: "The enemy's camp is over there."

Everyone looked over and saw that the fire at the foot of the mountain was dazzling, and it was as bright as dusk. It seemed that there were many people there.

Wan Nanshan climbed to the side of Li Jiuzhou, "General, since we are close to the enemy's granary, let's rush over."

"No." Li Jiuzhou kept looking at the enemy camp in the distance, "If we rush over like this, we will die."

Wan Nanshan was anxious: "Now that we are here, who is still afraid of death?"

"They are heavily guarded. First, a group of people have to rush up to draw attention. The group behind us will then go straight to the granary so that they don't know how many of us there are. Then we can sneak back into the forest to fight with them."

"I'll go." Wan Nanshan said.

Jiang Chong had already come over: "Big guy, you are so thick and clumsy, wouldn't it be a bad thing to go? We grew up in the mountains and forests, and I am familiar with this terrain, so I'd better go."

As he spoke, he looked at the dozens of people he had been with earlier.

Li Jiuzhou nodded in agreement, "You're right. Just pick three hundred soldiers who are good at jungle warfare to distract the enemy's attention. You just need to hide in the mountains as much as possible to buy us time."

"General Li, I have something to say to you before I leave." Jiang Chong tried to lower his voice.

Li Jiuzhou hummed softly, "You say."

"If I die, I want to ask you for a favor."

Li Jiuzhou saw him hesitating and rolled his eyes at him, "Why are you acting like a girl? Just say what you have to say."

"I want to ask you to help me take good care of Yuying, and tell her that my death is worth it." When Jiang Chong said this, there were tears in the corners of Jiang Chong's eyes.

Li Jiuzhou put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed hard, "I don't have the time to convey the message for you. You can go back and tell her yourself."

Jiang Chong smiled happily, climbed behind and lit up the soldiers.

Jiang Chong was right. He was more suitable for jungle warfare than Wannan Mountain. He led 300 people like hares and quietly approached the enemy camp without much effort.

"There is a sneak attack." They were quickly discovered in the enemy camp, and an overwhelming roar echoed in the mountains and forests.

After a burst of rapid fighting, Jiang Chong and his men retreated into the jungle in the distance while fighting. The enemy troops were chasing closely and were about to surround Jiang Chong and others.

"Should we take action?" Wan Nanshan looked at Li Jiuzhou.

Li Jiuzhou looked at the fighting in front of him and said softly: "Wait a little longer."

Three hundred people were killed in pieces under the pursuit of tens of thousands of troops. The remaining people quickly fled into the mountains, but the enemy was determined not to let go of anyone and continued to pursue and kill them.

"If we don't take action, they will all die!" Wan Nanshan roared at Li Jiuzhou.

Li Jiuzhou was still watching the movement ahead calmly.

Finally, when the wails gradually faded away, Li Jiuzhou gave an order: "Do it."

Wan Nanshan couldn't wait and took the lead. Seven hundred soldiers rushed to the enemy camp, set fire to it, and went straight to the granary.

"kill!"

Filled with rage, the seven hundred people fought like a thousand troops.

As the fire raged, it was unknown how many enemies were coming, and the enemy camp was thrown into disarray. In the light of the fire, only soldiers dressed as Tubo and Nanzhao could be seen running away with their heads in their hands.

The enemy's food and fodder had caught fire, and no one was able to put out the fire. Li Jiuzhou took advantage of the chaos and went straight to the general's camp.

The general's camp was very conspicuous. Dozens of enemy troops in the tent resisted stubbornly, and the Tang army, who was red-eyed at being killed, killed them all.

Spotting the man who looked like an officer, Wan Nanshan raised his knife and cut off the officer's head with one blow.

The soldiers chasing Jiang Chong also saw something was wrong and took him back.

Cooperating with the army in the city of Yizhou to attack the enemy, they did not dare to say that the purpose of destroying the enemy's food and fodder and disrupting the enemy's rear had been achieved. The group did not dare to fight, so they resisted hastily and jumped into the forest.

The pursuers behind me saw more and more soldiers. I don’t know how long I had been running in the woods, and I couldn’t tell the north, south, east, and west. So I climbed up to a high and dangerous place and resisted the enemy from a high position.

Beyond that is a dense jungle with no way to go.

"General, it looks like we are surrounded." Wan Nanshan glanced at the crowd and saw that there were less than 300 people left.

The enemy's rear is in chaos, and the enemy pursuing Lu Qianqian should be busy retreating. The army in Yizhou City will have the best opportunity to counterattack at this time.

We can only take a gamble, betting that Yang Guozhong has already led his troops to counterattack.

The tall mountains and forests blocked the view, and one could not see how the fighting was going on in Yizhou. All one could see was the smoke filling the sky.

The enemy will be hard to kill for a while, so you can take a breather first.

"I don't know what's going on with Jiang Chong now." Li Jiuzhou leaned against a big stone and panted heavily.

Wan Nanshan said in frustration: "Most of them are already dead."

"We are afraid that we are going to die here. Brother Wan, are you afraid of death?"

"I'm not afraid. If my head falls off, it will only be a scar the size of a bowl."

"I'm afraid of death." Li Jiuzhou paused, his voice a little hoarse, "But, I think death is worth it."

The corner of Wan Nanshan's mouth twitched, he would not pretend to be a hero if death was imminent.

Li Jiuzhou picked up the knife and stood up, "As you said, you won't lose if you kill one, but you will gain blood by killing two."

"Set fire and die together with the enemy." Li Jiuzhou gave the order loudly without hesitation.

The jungle is difficult to walk through. Once this fire is set off and the wind blows, most of the enemy troops in the forest will be burned to death.

Li Jiuzhou and these hundreds of Tang troops were naturally not immune.
