The officer and soldier under Qin Ming said that there are no mountains on the terrain here, and there is only a road in the southeast that can lead to the mountains. Qin Ming, who was very angry at being teased, raised his mace and decided to go there.
Qin Ming waved his hand and said: "Since the main road is there, we will rush there overnight and kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor behind." After that, Qin Ming drove a line of troops and horses up to the southeast corner.
Seeing that it was getting late, and people and horses were tired after walking, when they finally reached the foot of the mountain, they were about to go down to the village to make rice. They saw torches on the mountain and gongs blaring. Qin Ming screamed in his heart that he was not good. Since he arrived in the mountain, After being teased by these bandits several times, I felt really unhappy. Now I saw that I had been tricked again, and I was even more angry. When I looked back to look for the "officers and soldiers" who showed the way, I could not find any trace of him.
Qin Ming shouted loudly and roared the anger in his heart to the sky. He waved his mace and held it tightly in his hand. Then he led an army of forty or fifty horses and galloped straight up the mountain. However, not yet. No matter how far we walked, we saw a rustling sound in the woods on the mountain, followed by random arrows shooting down. No matter how fast Qin and Ming galloped with their troops, on this mountain road, the horses were still not as fast as the arrows. As expected, , and shot and wounded some more sergeants.
Qin Ming held a mace in his hand and randomly opened up the rain of arrows that were coming towards him. He saw that his men behind him were dying and injured. The rain of arrows came quickly and fiercely, but it was continuous and indistinguishable. The only solution was to get back on horseback and go down the mountain, bandage the injured ones, and teach the sergeants to just make food for the rest.
But just when Qin Ming's officers and soldiers lit the fire and before they put the pot on the stove, dozens of firelights suddenly appeared on the mountain, whistling and whistling, like cheering or shouting to kill. It's so messy that it makes people feel extremely restless.
Qin Ming saw it and thought that these guys must be here to cause trouble and chop him in two. He became impatient and couldn't hold it in anymore. He immediately led his army to chase him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he took a step forward, the torch over there All the others were destroyed together. Although the moon and stars were sparse that night, the half-moon was also shrouded in clouds, making it unclear. Qin Ming was so angry that he was teased, so he asked the sergeant to light a torch and set fire to the tree.
The officers and soldiers received the order, but before they could set fire, they heard the sound of drums and flutes suddenly playing on the mountain mouth. When Qin Mingzong came to look, he saw more than ten torches burning on the top of the mountain, and Hua Rong accompanied Song Jiang on top. Drinking alcohol.
Qin Ming looked at it and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He felt bad and wanted to go up and grab the two of them and tear them to pieces. However, this mountain was really evil. He spent a long time that night looking for a path to the right path except for the heavily guarded one. Outside, there was no way to go up the mountain, and there was no way. Qin Ming had no wings and could not fly up, so he had to rein in his horse and curse loudly at the bottom of the mountain.
Hearing this, Hua Rong couldn't help laughing loudly with his hands on his hips, and replied: "Qin Zongzhi, you don't have to be anxious, just go back and take a rest. I will go down the mountain tomorrow and fight to the death with you. I will definitely let you know the winner or lose."
Qin Ming shouted angrily: "Rebel, come down here right now. I'll fight you for three hundred rounds now, but you won't care anymore. Don't be so cowardly. You're not a hero."
Hua Rong was not angry but smiled and said: "Manager Qin, you are tired today, so I will win you over, and I won't do anything to force you. You go back, take good care of your body, wash your neck, and come back tomorrow."
Qin Ming became angrier after hearing this. He just scolded the formation at the foot of the mountain. He wanted to fight up the mountain from the main road, but he was afraid of Hua Rong's bow and arrow, so he only scolded at the foot of the hillside.
Just as Qin Ming was pointing at the mountain and yelling, he heard the troops and horses at the foot of the mountain shouting. The sound was obviously chaotic and he didn't know what was going on.
When Qin Ming hurriedly returned to the foot of the mountain to take a look, he saw rockets and flints burning down at the foot of the hillside. On the mountainside, every twenty or thirty minions gathered in a group, holding crossbows and shooting in the darkness. People, the officers and soldiers who were camped at the foot of the mountain were thrown into a panic by this sudden attack. They were obviously unprepared. Apart from crying for their fathers and mothers, and fleeing in all directions, abandoning their helmets and armor, they had no practical plans at all. Not only were the entire military camp shot into flames by the rockets, but the morale of the troops was also in an unstoppable state.
Qin Ming saw this and was extremely anxious. He wished he could split one man and use it as two persons. However, no matter how he shouted orders, the officers and soldiers were injured or died, and the rest were running for their own lives. There were no generals anywhere. Taking Qin Ming's orders seriously, they all rushed over the side of the mountain and hid in the pit. How could Qin Ming and his thirty or forty cavalry troops control the collapsed situation? They were really powerless. , Qin Ming, who was extremely angry at the moment, knew that he had fallen into Hua Rong's plan again. He was furious at the moment, and the anger in his heart surged to the top. Qin Ming swung the mace and smashed several deserters he met to death under his horse. However, even so, it still couldn't stop the officers and soldiers from going to the mountain col to escape the arrow rain. Now the arrow rain was getting more and more fierce, which made Qin Ming a little overwhelmed looking at the dense rain of flaming arrows. , he had to go around with all the maces in his hands, and cover himself and his horse under the flowers of clubs.
By this time, it was already three o'clock in the fight, and all the troops and horses fled to the foot of the mountain. Although they escaped the bows and arrows and rolling stones shot down from the mountain, before everyone could take a breath, they were in trouble again, which frightened everyone. I was so pissed that I saw a rushing torrent rolling down from the mountain stream. The huge water flowed down and hit the officers and soldiers. They immediately pressed the officers and soldiers heavily to the ground, killing and injuring many people in just a moment. , the ravine just now suddenly turned into a rushing stream, submerging all the officers and soldiers hiding in it. The officers and soldiers struggled for their lives, but the water was so powerful that most of the officers and soldiers were swept away by the whirlpool of the water, and large areas were washed away. He fainted and drowned within a short time of being immersed in the river.
And some lucky ones who somehow managed to survive and climb ashore were caught alive by the minions lying in ambush with dense hooks and went up the mountain alive, while the others who didn't faint but were unable to climb ashore were caught alive. All of them were drowned in the rising stream.
Qin Ming was so angry that his forehead almost shattered. Seeing that the soldiers and horses he had brought with him had not lasted even one night and were wasted away by Hua Rong. He was so angry that he didn't know how to do it when he was extremely impatient. I accidentally found a path in the grass on the side.
Why didn't he see this place? Qin Ming didn't have time to think about the reason. He turned his horse around and rushed up the mountain with his mace. However, before he could go thirty or fifty steps, he felt that he was under his body. Suddenly it was empty, and before he could react, people and horses fell into the pit. After the people flipped over, before Qin Ming could struggle, he saw fifty scratchers ambush on both sides appeared at the same time. It turned out that these people It was Hua Rong who was preparing to capture Qin Ming and his men, but unexpectedly, things went smoothly beyond Hua Rong's imagination. The man was reduced to the last bare veteran, so all fifty hooks were thrown out, and he was indiscriminately The emperor picked up Qin Ming, stripped off all his armor, helmets, and weapons, tied them up with ropes, rescued the horses, and brought them to Qingfeng Mountain.
The three leaders of Qingfeng Mountain were overjoyed when they saw it. They had always been straightforward, coming down the mountain to wield their swords and fight directly. They did not make complicated calculations. They had never seen such a fight before. Everything was new. It was extremely exciting, and the harvest also made the three leaders extremely happy.
All these strategies were agreed upon by Hua Rong and Song Jiang beforehand: first, the minions were divided into several groups, either in the east or in the west, all over the Qingfeng Mountain, waving flags and shouting one by one, which was intentional. The temptation caused Qin Ming and others to be led away by the nose, making them exhausted and undecided. It was half the battle. Especially, it made Qin Ming feel irritable. Coupled with his fiery temper, he would definitely He was so angry that he was extremely impetuous. On the other side, Hua Rong had already filled the water in the two streams on the mountain with cloth bags filled with sand. It was late at night and in the chaos, no one would care about that, just to hide. After passing the fire, they all jumped into the stream, but they didn't expect water to suddenly drop from above. The rapid water killed most of the officers and soldiers in an instant.
Most of the 500 men and horses brought out by Qin Ming drowned in the water and lost their lives. Later, 1,570 of them were captured alive, and 780 good horses were taken away. None of them escaped. , captured Qin Ming alive in the horse pit, and then a group of minions tied up Qin Ming and escorted him to the stronghold. It was already dawn.
Five heroes were sitting in the Juyi Hall. A young man tied up Qin Ming and untied him in front of the hall. When Hua Rong saw him, he quickly repelled the people around him, jumped out of his chair, and hurriedly came down to the hall and untied Qin Ming himself. The rope was lifted up to the hall respectfully, and then he bowed to the ground in front of everyone.
Qin Ming was originally furious, but when he saw Hua Rong's courtesy, the furious Qin Ming lost any of his temper. Instead, he hurriedly responded to the salute and said: "I am a captured person. The defeated soldiers are here, either alive or dead. It's all up to you, so why do you come to worship me?"
Hua Rong knelt down and said, "Young man doesn't know the superiority and inferiority. I committed an act of blasphemy by mistake. Please forgive me for my sin." Then he ordered the servants waiting on him to take brocade clothes and wear them with Qin Ming.
Qin Ming changed his clothes and came back to the hall. After taking a closer look at the people in the Juyi Hall, he asked Hua Rong, "Who is this good man at the head of you?"
Hua Rong followed Qin Ming's eyes and said: "This is Hua Rong's brother, Song Yasi of Yuncheng County, Song Jiang, and these three are the masters of Qingfeng Village: Yan Shun, Wang Ying ,Zheng Tianshou,"
Qin Mingdao: "I know these three. Isn't this Song Yasi called Shandong Timely Rain Song Gongming?"
Song Jiang replied with a smile: "That's the villain."
Qin Ming hurriedly bowed down and said, "I have been famous for a long time. I don't want to meet a righteous man today."
When Song Jiang saw this, he hurriedly responded with no greetings.
