Chapter 337

At this time, the official army had just retreated from the mountain and had not completely retreated. However, this move had already made everyone on Erlong Mountain believe that they could no longer stay here, and now the initiative has fallen into their hands.

Many people were ready to look at Deng Long and eagerly said: "Master, this is a great opportunity to counterattack. We were oppressed so badly by the official army before, and it is time to avenge our previous shame!"

"Yes, the village leader, my brothers are all full of anger. You can't just let them leave easily, otherwise I won't have the reputation of Erlong Mountain!"

The voices of the main battle continued to echo in the hall, and Deng Long's face turned red when he heard it, but in the end he looked cautiously at Lu Yuan who had been silent: "Military advisor, do you think we should take the opportunity to kill him down the mountain?"

Lu Yuan swept the people present and waited for a while, then said with a smile: "Of course I also wanted to exhale this anger, but I still had some doubts. Do the government troops really have exhausted their food and their energy disappeared before they retreated? If they thought of a trick of retreating to advance when they saw that it was difficult to break the sky, then we would be able to kill down the mountain to hit their minds."

"This..." Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and only a few people muttered in a low voice: "Will the government army think so much?"

"If the government army is not arbitrary, it may not be such a plan, but Sun Tu is very good at comparing, and no matter how ambitious and means it is much better than others." Lu Yuan said seriously: "In addition, until now, the government army has only retreated to the foot of the mountain, and is far from the point of retreating and collapse. If we continue to kill at this time, it may not be possible to get any advantage."

This sentence came to the point, and many people also showed hesitation. They had experienced the power of the Qingzhou Army several times before. Once they lost the geographical advantage and confronted the government army head-on on the plains, they had no chance of winning.

"Do you just let them go?" Even Deng Long was very unwilling to give up at this time. He asked, but it was Lu Yuan's silence. To be safe, it is indeed the best choice to hold on to the army.

Lu Da and Wu Song also entered the room today and participated in the discussion. At this time, they saw that the other party was not trapped, and they felt anxious. Suddenly, Wu Song felt a little moved and had already made up his mind. He said, "Master, Military Advisor, brothers, in my foolish opinion, it is indeed the safest way for everyone to hold on the mountain without moving, but this is only for now, what if they look at the future?"

Before they could react, he continued anxiously: "We have known the strength of the government army this time. This time, they have no choice but to retreat because they do not keep their food and grass. Once they prepare sufficient food and grass and raise their troops to fight, our situation will be really dangerous. Maybe by then, they can all come up with a way to capture me. Therefore, we must not let them go easily, otherwise the only one who suffers a big loss in the end will be our copycat."

The people in the hall all showed deep thought expressions. After a while, someone echoed: "Wu Erlang said it right. Now it is the best opportunity for my Erlong Mountain to fight back and win. It cannot be wasted. Master, if I want to become famous on the Green Forest Road, I must seize this opportunity!"

"Master, the opportunity is rare, we fight. Just wait for the official army to retreat, and we will wait until we go down the mountain to pursue it!"

"The leader of the village, I am not talented, and I am willing to take a hundred brothers down the mountain as a pioneer..."

The big and small leaders were inspired at this time and stood up to express their opinions, as if they were about to fight to the end. Wu Song and Lu Da also stood up to express their opinions at this time.

At this moment, even Lu Yuan couldn't sing the opposite tune again. He could only look at Deng Long and said, "It would be great for all brothers to have such a desire to kill the enemy. But in order to protect themselves, I couldn't go all the way down the mountain, so I asked the leader of the village to lead 700 brothers to kill them down the mountain at that time, and the other people and horses followed me to stay in the sky to help."

Deng Long no longer hesitated this time, and nodded and said, "Sure enough, whether my Erlong Mountain can prosper this time will be here to fight!"

"We swear to follow the village leader to the death and kill all the official hawks and dogs!" Everyone shouted loudly, and the atmosphere had reached its peak. Wu Song and Lu Da also slapped the table and shouted: "My brothers have not made much contributions since they went up the mountain. I am willing to be the pioneer this time...Oh..." Before he finished speaking, the wounds on their shoulders suddenly cracked due to slapping the table hard, dripping blood.

Seeing this, all the people around him laughed, and Deng Long also laughed and shook his head: "You two have made contributions to my village before, and now you are injured again. This time, let's stay in the village for the time being and follow the orders of the military advisors."

"But..." The two of them wanted to say something else, but were interrupted by Deng Long's wave: "This is a military order, you must not disobey, otherwise you will not be my brother from Erlong Mountain."

Seeing that the other party had said this, Lu Da and the others could only nod and respond, but their faces were filled with reluctance and loss. It was not until everyone dispersed and they looked at each other together, and then they saw a hint of secret joy in their eyes. As Sun Tu expected, everything was as soon as their team went down the mountain, it would be a great opportunity for them to make contributions and win the mountain village.

Since the plan was decided, Lu Yuan became more cautious. Seeing that the sky had not yet darkened completely, he ran to the high platform outside the temple to look at the military camp below. Seeing that the smoke from cooking was sparse than in the previous few days, he was sure that the government army was about to lose food. I am afraid that the morale of the army would be unstable at this time. Once we retreated in a hurry, it would be a great opportunity for us to defeat him!"

"The government army is leaving, but I don't know if your brothers from Erlongshan dare to take advantage of the situation to kill. Even if they cannot completely defeat them in this battle, as long as they are dragged for a while, the reinforcements from Liangshanbo will arrive. By then, the Qingzhou government army will inevitably be defeated, and your wish will be fulfilled." At the foot of the mountain, Han Benshan's eyes flashed with a flash of light and was observing the movements in the military camp ahead, completely looking eager to try.

As for Qi Liu, he felt even more urgent at this time, and he was eager to meet with his brothers on the mountain and launch a final attack on the official army. However, he was still a little doubtful: "Do you think they would choose to leave at night? If the brothers on the mountain fail to notice that they can't catch up..."

"Impossible. The variables at night are too great. They dare not do this when the morale of the army is unstable." Han Benshan made a judgment with great confidence: "Even if they are in a hurry to leave, they have to wait until tomorrow morning. The opportunity is fleeting, it depends on whether your brothers in Erlongshan have the ability and courage!"

Soon, night fell completely.

This seemingly peaceful night is so different for many people, so it makes people feel tormented. People on the mountain stand high from time to time and look at the movements of the military camp, afraid that they will escape in the dark. There is even a team of about a hundred people quietly touching it and returning to the former site of Jintang City to check the situation. As long as the official army dares to withdraw at this time, they will chase and kill them desperately.

But this time the military camp seemed particularly calm. Except for dozens of vigilant soldiers, the others entered the tent early to rest, and there was no sign of retreating at night. They even seemed to be no longer on guard. It seemed that as long as the people from Erlong Mountain went down the mountain to attack at night, they could bring the entire military camp in one fell swoop.

But the more time comes, the more calm the people on the mountain are, and they do not risk going down the mountain, but just pay attention to the movement below.

The long night passed by little by little until dawn approached, and there was no movement in the military camp. Many people emerged from the tent. What was even more surprising was that in the dark on both sides of the military camp, there were even a team of fully armed ambushers returning to the camp at this time.

When he saw all this, Han Benshan couldn't help but curse softly: "Cunning guy! He actually wanted to be a ghost at this time!" If the people from Erlong Mountain were really eager to go down the mountain to attack last night, they would be afraid that they would be strangled by these two ambushed officials. This also made him become more and more afraid of Sun Tu. This time, he had to take advantage of the weakening of the other party to quickly eliminate him!

Everyone on the mountain also saw the two troops returning to the camp at this time, and everyone's faces were not very good. Deng Long looked at Lu Yuan with emotion: "The military advisor is indeed a clever plan and knows there is a fraud. If you hadn't stopped it last night, we would have fallen into their trap."

"It's just a lucky guess." Lu Yuan said modestly: "Master of the village, Sun Tu is extremely cunning in his use of troops. You must be careful when going down the mountain to pursue this time. Of course, from the arrangement just now, I can be sure that they have the will to go away. This should be their last attempt. Now, they no longer have the fighting spirit. Just wait for the entire army to retreat, which is the best time for us to turn defense into offense!"

As he finished speaking, the officials below cooperated to start to pull up the village and get dressed up. The camp of thousands of people began to move in an orderly manner. In less than half an hour, the team had slowly retreated to the rear.

"The government army retreated..." A light flashed in Deng Long's eyes, and then he grabbed his cooked copper stick and shouted: "Brothers, it's time to fight back. Go down the mountain!" After that, he took the lead and rushed down the mountain with great strides.

The others also looked excited, screaming, holding weapons and following the village leader, quickly descending the mountain. In just a moment, the village, which had hundreds of people, quickly became deserted, leaving less than two hundred people staying in the temple.

Watching Deng Long lead his army to the mountain with murderous aura, Lu Yuan, who was left above, clenched his fists nervously. Behind him, Wu Song and Lu Da also gave each other a wink. Everything was going as planned. Now, just wait for the main force to leave the mountain, and the two can take action!
