Li Yi held the spear under his arm and followed the army, secretly thinking about how to save his own life when the fight broke out later.
Although he is a traitor to the Nanmen Army, he only recognizes his clothes and not his people during the melee. He is dressed in blue, so he will definitely be regarded as an enemy by the Nanmen Army in yellow!
It is not reliable to snatch the clothes of dead soldiers on the battlefield. This battle must be the advantage of the Nanmen Army, and it is impossible to have time to change clothes.
After much deliberation, it was best to jump into the Mawei River during the chaos. He was a native of Yangzhou and was proficient in water. As long as he entered the water, his life would be saved.
Thinking of this, I felt a little relieved, and my eyes began to light up. As long as I survived this battle, my contribution will not be small. Lu Qing has clear rewards and punishments, so he will not treat himself badly.
After walking for a while, Qin Lingsi suddenly led the cavalry one step ahead, leaving only about 5,000 men and horses.
The army did not unfurl its flags and marched very slowly, with stops and starts. It took more than three hours to walk ten miles.
Li Yi set up a pergola with his hands and could already see a forest in the distance, which was expected to be the woods to the north of Mawei River.
At this moment, Shanzhu and Zhao Desheng suddenly divided the soldiers into two. Shanzhu led more than 2,000 people into the forest, while Zhao Desheng led 3,000 soldiers to stay where they were.
When Li Yi saw Zhao Ziqi and Shan Ziqi separated, he was secretly shocked. He had divided his troops just once, so why should he do so again?
I wanted to ask Geng San, but he was strictly prohibited from talking during the march, so I could only endure it for the time being.
After everyone entered the forest, the wild boar gave an order and everyone took cover, and then they had a chance to talk.
"Brother, I just saw the second village master and Zhao Baihu leading a group of people to go to other places. Where did they go?" Li Yi came to Geng San and asked with a smile.
Geng San smiled and said: "This is a secret, don't say it casually." While speaking, his eyes were fixed on Li Yi's pocket.
Li Yi cursed secretly, took out a piece of broken silver from his waist bag with a smile, handed it to Geng San, and said: "Boss, tell me!"
Geng San put his arms around his neck, glanced left and right, touched an uninhabited forest not far away with his chin, and whispered, "Brother, let's go over there and talk!"
Li Yi nodded repeatedly and followed Geng San.
Not long after, Geng San came back with a bloody dagger in his hand.
Wang Da has been paying attention to the situation here, grinning and saying: "You are so patient, if I had killed him last night!"
Geng San wiped the blood on the sole of his shoe with his dagger, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that there will be some subtle work that will scare the grass and scare the snake?"
Suddenly, he noticed that several soldiers were looking at him strangely. They were all soldiers under Li Yi.
Geng Sanchao said to the others: "Listen carefully, Li Yi is a spy of the Nanmen Army. The evidence has long been conclusive. I am executing him on Zhang Qianhu's order!"
Several soldiers were shocked and did not dare to look any further.
On the west bank of Mawei River, Zhang Yangquan looked up at the river. The summer wind blew by, and the waves on the river rippled, like the wrinkles on an old man's forehead.
A wooden platform more than two feet high has been erected on the river bank. In front of the wooden platform, there is a table with pig heads, sheep heads and other sacrifices used for sacrifice.
However, there was only a quarter of an hour before the end of the day, but neither Zhang Mingjian nor Huang Boyan arrived, which made Zhang Yangquan a little uneasy.
At this moment, Qin Lingjun whispered: "Here we come."
Zhang Yangquan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw a team of thousands of people walking out of the valley to the south. The leaders were Huang Boyan and Lu Qing.
Zhang Yangquan breathed a sigh of relief. When they approached, he raised his hands and asked, "Huang Qianhu is polite, but where is Zhang Qianhu?"
"Hey, maybe I'm on my way here, don't worry." Huang Boyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
When the situation has reached this point, there is no need to hide it. If Zhang Mingjian hadn't arrived yet, he would have already given the order to take action!
Two thousand-man armies were separated by a wooden platform. Soldiers from both sides formed their camps in unison, pointing their spears and weapons at each other, no longer concealing hostility.
Lu Qing looked at the enemy and his own soldiers for a while, and his face suddenly became ugly.
The troops at the North Gate were neatly lined up, with unified weapons and clear flags. Even the tilt of their spears was uniform.
You can see the strength of this team at a glance.
Looking at our own team, the formation is crooked and the weapons are all kinds of.
He was not aware of the problems of his own army at first, but now that he was standing with the Beimen Army, he realized the gap.
It would be better if Zhang Mingjian came. Two thousand people will never be afraid of a thousand people. Who knows what Zhang Mingjian is doing and why he doesn't come!
Does he want to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight?
Stupid! Doesn’t he know that the winning side will definitely be able to surrender the opponent’s troops and still be able to deal with him?
Seeing that the time was coming, Lu Qing whispered a few words to Huang Boyan.
Huang Boyan nodded and said loudly to Zhang Yangquan: "Zhang Qianhu, Zhang Mingjian, that birdie hasn't come yet, how about we wait a little longer?"
Qin Lingjun whispered: "Military advisor, please kill Huang Boyan first, and then deal with Zhang Mingjian!"
Zhang Yangquan originally wanted to catch the two of them in one fell swoop, but Zhang Mingjian didn't come. After thinking about it, he could only do the next best thing and said: "Master of the Dazhai, let's do it!"
Qin Lingjun raised his spear high and scolded: "Brothers, Huang Boyan wants to join forces with Zhang Mingjian to harm us. Come with me and kill them!"
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed towards Huang Boyan and Lu Qing.
The distance between the two sides was too close. Qin Lingjun was an expert in equestrian skills and was riding Qin Lingsi's favorite horse, 'Purple Oriole'. He rushed to Huang and Lu in almost the blink of an eye.
The spear was stabbed and thrust forward. Huang Boyan waved a mace to block several attacks, but Lu Qing on the side was unable to dodge and was knocked off his horse by Qin Lingjun.
Lu Qing was wearing thick armor, but the shot did not kill him. Huang Boyan roared at the soldiers who came to help him: "Hurry up and save sir!" Fenyong waved a stick at Qin Lingjun to prevent her from pursuing Lu Qing.
Qin Lingjun lowered her head and dodged, and stabbed diagonally with her spear, piercing the gap in the armor on Huang Boyan's shoulder.
At this time, the sergeants of the South Gate Army rushed over to surround Qin Lingjun. Seeing how brave their general was, the soldiers of the North Gate Army rushed forward and protected Qin Lingjun's wings.
Huang Boyan's soldiers carried Lu Qing and ran away.
Huang Boyan did not dare to fight with Qin Lingjun, so he retreated while his soldiers were catching up.
Almost at the same time, the sounds of fighting rang out in the woods to the north and the valley to the south, with shouts like thunder and flags filling the sky.
The Nanmen Army approached the valley, and the echo echoed, and the momentum was extremely shocking!
Zhang Yangquan only felt his ears buzzing from the shouts of killing, but when he heard the sound approaching, Shanzhu and Wang Da led the army to kill from the left and right.
The two of them were like two awls, fiercely inserted into the enemy's formation, tearing a hole in the opponent's formation, and instantly they fell into a melee.
……
In an open area to the west of the river bank, Qin Lingsi encountered a Nanmen Army, also more than two thousand cavalry, who wanted to come and outflank them.
She hurriedly ordered two centurions each with 500 cavalry to go around from the left and right wings, while she led more than 1,000 cavalry to face the enemy head-on.
……
Ten miles away, Li Er and Xu Baisheng each led 5,000 men and followed the established route. Li Er moved to the west and Xu Baisheng moved from the south.
Both of them were marching in a hurry, but after all, the journey from Longtan Mountain was not close, so it would take some time to reach the battlefield.
Two quarters of an hour later, an outflanking Nanmen Army appeared in the forest to the north.
The Nanmen Army was about to attack Zhang Yangquan and others' retreat when Zhao Desheng's 3,000 men came from behind and caught them off guard.
At this moment, all the troops of the Nanmen Army were invested, with more than 9,000 people on the frontal battlefield, more than 2,000 people on the western battlefield, and more than 3,000 people on the northern battlefield.
