The moon was shrouded in dark clouds, and only a hazy afterimage could be seen, and the stars were dim, like fireflies ten feet away.
It is precisely because of the darkness of the night that the light of the fire is particularly conspicuous, especially a big fire.
A raging fire was burning on Luoshen Mountain. All the Yuan army's hundred thousand shi of food were swallowed up by the raging flames. The flames soared into the sky and could be seen thirty miles away.
The armies of Zhang Yangquan and Zhang Shicheng arrived at Luoshen Mountain an hour ago, and there were still 20,000 defenders in the mountain at that time.
However, this force was the rear army with the weakest combat power, and was attacked again. In less than half an hour of fighting, the defenders were defeated and fled in all directions.
Zhang Yangquan immediately started a fire and burned all the food of the Yuan army.
A hundred thousand shi of food made even him feel distressed. However, this fire was necessary to prevent the Yuan army from knowing that they were in a desperate situation.
Zhang Yangquan stood on the hillside and looked in the direction of the Yuan camp from a distance. He could already imagine how panicked the Yuan soldiers would be when they saw the fire.
The victory has been decided, the next step is to try to seize the greatest fruits of victory!
Zhang Shicheng came to Zhang Yangquan's side and said with a smile: "Manager Zhang, Yuanying should be in chaos now. It is a good time for us to surrender. How do you and I surrender? Can we establish rules?"
Zhang Yangquan glanced at him and said calmly: "What do you think, His Highness Prince Cheng?"
Zhang Shicheng said: "If you don't dare, just use the simplest method. Whoever collects the surrendered soldiers first will get it, and the other side can't fight for it!"
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "Very good!"
At this moment, a scout rushed up from the mountain road and said to Zhang Yangquan: "General manager, I just got the news that the Yuan army blew up the camp. Most of the Yuan army fell into chaos and trampled on each other. However, Dong Tuanxiao led
A group of troops are heading towards Gaoyou!"
Zhang Yangquan glanced at Zhang Shicheng and said: "It seems that Dong Tuanxiao has not given up yet and wants to capture Gaoyou while you are out and turn defeat into victory!"
Zhang Shicheng snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I have left three thousand troops in the city, so he can't even think of taking the city!"
Even so, Zhang Yangquan could still see that he was a little nervous and said with a smile: "How about you and I lead the army together to defeat this army?"
Zhang Shicheng said happily: "Very good! As long as this dying Yuan army is destroyed, there will be no variables in this battle!"
So Zhang Yangquan ordered 10,000 men and went to Gaoyou City with Zhang Shicheng's 5,000 men to rescue him. He divided the generals into six teams, each with 3,000 men, and went to Yuanying to collect the prisoners!
……
Kuangkuo suddenly noticed that the soldiers standing guard near the prison car began to become confused. He only heard someone in the distance shouting: "What are you still doing here? Run for your life!"
The soldiers standing guard immediately dispersed.
Kuo Kuo reminded in a low voice: "Father, look, their people are starting to get confused, our soldiers may have already attacked!"
He and Chahan's prison van was located behind a tent, which happened to block their view. They did not see the fire in Luoshen Mountain, and they only thought it was rescued by people from the Right Route Army.
Chahan said nothing, and there was no joy on his face.
On the day Tuotuo was dismissed, he was not only dismissed from his position by Xuexue, but was also imprisoned. Even so, he never had the idea of mutiny.
Now that he saw the Right Army Army mutinied in order to save him, he felt very complicated!
After a while, all the nearby soldiers were gone, but no soldiers from the right route army came over. I felt something was wrong when I expanded the perimeter.
Suddenly I heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, and several horses came running from a distance. The leader was Brother Wang Meng. He turned over and dismounted, and swung his knife to split the prison cart and wooden shackles of the two men.
Chahan said blankly: "General Wang, what are you..."
Brother Wang Meng's face was as pale as paper and he said: "You two, the bandits have just captured Luoshen Mountain and burned our army's food and grass. Dong Shuai asked me to come and release you two. I hope you two can restrain the right army!"
Chahan asked anxiously: "Why don't we send more people to guard this important land for grain storage?"
Wang Mengge remained silent, thinking: "Everyone is fighting among themselves, who cares about food?"
Chahan's face turned pale and he sighed: "The food and grass were burned. Not only will this battle be a complete defeat, but the soldiers will also surrender to the traitors! After this battle, Yangzhou's traitors will be even more difficult to control!"
"Dong Shuai said that he will lead the left army to attack Gaoyou City. If the city can be captured, everything will be easy. If it cannot be defeated, the whole army will collapse. He hopes that General Chahan will take the overall situation first and lead the right army.
Save Coach Xuexue and escort him to Baoying!"
Chahan said blankly: "What's wrong with Coach Xuexue?"
Brother Wang Meng said: "He was kidnapped by the mutinous Central Army general."
Chahan said in shock: "The Central Route Army also mutinied?"
Brother Wang Meng sighed: "If it weren't for this, the thieves wouldn't have burned our food so easily!"
Chahan was extremely angry and was about to speak when Kuang Kuo suddenly said: "Okay, we agree to rescue Coach Xuexue."
Brother Wang Meng said: "Then I'll leave it to you two. I have to go back to Dong Shuai and say goodbye."
Seeing Wang Mengge riding away, Chahan and his son found two horses nearby and headed towards the right route army.
Along the way, Chahan asked: "Kuokuo, are you really going to save Xuexue?"
Kuo Kuo said coldly: "Father, do you think it is necessary to save this kind of trash?"
"Then why did you say that just now?"
Kuakuo was silent for a while and said: "If we don't agree, Dong Tuanxiao may not continue to attack Gaoyou."
Chahan said in astonishment: "You don't think he can still capture Gaoyou, do you?"
Kuo Kuo shook his head and said: "No, I just hope that he can help us attract some of the bandits. As long as we know that Gaoyou is under attack, the bandits will definitely come to the rescue, and we can take the opportunity to evacuate to Baoying!"
Chahan scolded: "Asshole! Who taught you this dirty trick?"
Kuo Kuo smiled bitterly and said: "Father, I can't control so many people, and I don't want to. I just want to bring back the soldiers we brought from Runing Mansion, one more!"
Chahan was startled, sighed, and said no more.
Brother Wang Meng was running through the night with dozens of horses, surrounded by rioting soldiers. They began to compete with each other for rations and horses. It was no longer possible to tell whether they were friends or foes.
Some unsighted soldiers came to snatch his horses and were immediately shot to death by him.
While walking, I suddenly heard a burst of fighting from the side. I turned around and saw a bearded general leading a group of men and horses to kill them.
The general held up a mace and shouted: "I am Wang Da, one of the four great kings of Jiangdu Army. If you don't want to die, immediately throw down your weapon and kneel down to surrender!"
The soldiers who were fighting fiercely with each other all dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, because they all knew that there was still a way to survive if they surrendered!
Brother Wang Meng hurriedly led his men to escape. Because everyone else knelt down, they became very conspicuous and were immediately spotted by Wang Da.
"Bring the bow!" Wang Da stretched out his hand and raised it with the demeanor of a general.
His subordinate handed over a two-stone heavy bow. Wang Da picked up the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow. He heard the bowstring ringing loudly, and the arrow shot out with a whoosh, but unfortunately the accuracy was off by more than two feet.
Wang Da's face turned red, feeling ashamed and angry. He threw the bow and arrow to his men, clapped his horse and chased Brother Wang Meng.
"Where to escape!" he roared.
The horse under Wang Da's crotch was full of energy, unlike Wang Meng's horse which was already tired and quickly caught up with him.
At this time, Wang Da finally saw Brother Wang Meng's face, was stunned for a moment, and laughed.
"Straight bitch! So it's you, old boy! Aren't you very majestic? How could you run away like a mouse when you see me?"
Brother Wang Meng said angrily: "If it weren't for that idiot Polo Buhua, how could we let you little bandits become such a big deal?"
Wang Da sneered and said: "You were so majestic when you surrounded and suppressed our Longtan Village. Today, things have changed and it's our turn to surround and kill you!"
Brother Wang Meng said angrily: "I'll kill you, the bearded thief first!" He rushed over with his gun.
Wang shouted: "Don't interfere, I will kill this guy with my own hands!" He faced him with a mace.
The two men exchanged guns and sticks, and there was an intensive attack.
Brother Wang Meng only felt that Wang Da was extremely powerful, and the spear in his hand was almost knocked away. Fortunately, the opponent's martial arts was rough, and many chances to win were missed.
After fighting for a while, Brother Wang Meng tightly guarded the door. He was extremely strict in attacking and defending, and tried his best to avoid confrontation with Wang's weapons. After a while, he gained the upper hand.
Wang Da once learned a few marksmanship moves from Qin Lingjun, but other than that, he was just a wild man. He relied on his own strength and used a mace to greet the opponent.
This style of fighting is very useful against ordinary soldiers and is very lethal. However, against people who are skilled in martial arts, as long as the opponent can avoid Wang Da's three sticks, he can take advantage of his lax stick skills to suppress him. When the two of them fought at thirty, Wang Da was already in danger. He was either parrying or dodging, and was unable to fight back.
At this moment, a voice sounded in the distance.
"Wang Da, let me help you!"
Amidst the shouting, the monkey flew towards me with two swords raised.
Not far behind the monkey, Qin Lingsi held a gun behind her back and stared at Brother Wang Meng coldly, holding the line for the two of them.
