Chang Yuchun was not familiar with the mountain road and was not walking very fast. When he brought people to Liushui Waterfall, Liu Si chased him from behind and hurriedly told him the situation.
Chang Yuchun was shocked and hurriedly turned around and went down the mountain. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he found that the foot of the mountain was surrounded by a group of Yuan Dynasty cavalry.
Those soldiers from the Yuan Dynasty did not talk nonsense, and under the leadership of a black-faced general, they started fighting with Chang Yuchun and others.
Chang Yuchun still can't understand the situation, so he can only fight to break out.
The bandits only had more than 300 cavalry, so it was impossible to escape from the Yuan army's cavalry.
Fortunately, Chang Yuchun took 200 horses with him when he went up the mountain. He made a prompt decision and abandoned the remaining 800 people. He led 200 cavalry to break out of the siege and ran towards Qingniu Mountain.
The black-faced general shouted: "Where to escape!" He left two thousand people to surround and suppress the remaining bandits, and led the rest to pursue Chang Yuchun.
When Wang Mengge led his team to the foot of the mountain, all seven hundred bandits were killed. A captain came over and reported: "General, the bandits in Longtan Mountain seem to have received the news in advance. As soon as General arrived, they broke out and went down the mountain.
”
Brother Wang Meng pointed to the top of the mountain and said coldly: "They saw it, so the general asked you to ride lightly and block the entrance to the mountain! Didn't you let anyone go?"
The captain hesitated for a moment and said: "General, those bandits are extremely ferocious. Two hundred of them escaped from the encirclement. Zhao Qianhu is pursuing them with three thousand cavalry."
A middle-aged man who looked like a scribe next to Wang Meng asked: "How many people rushed down the mountain?"
"About a thousand people."
The middle-aged scribe nodded and said to Wang Mengge: "General, it is completely consistent with the information. There are three thousand villagers in Longtan Mountain, including about a thousand young and middle-aged men, and three hundred cavalry. Those two hundred cavalry who escaped should be the leaders of the village!
”
Brother Wang Meng was noncommittal and asked Qianhu: "Are the bandits led by two women?"
The captain replied: "It seems to be a man, but I haven't seen the female bandit."
Brother Wang Meng raised his head and glanced at Longtan Mountain, and sneered: "They are trying to lure us away with a thousand people, and then calmly go down the mountain!"
The middle-aged scribe reminded: "General, the female bandits are full of tricks. They may also disguise themselves as men and hide in the team of two hundred cavalry!"
Brother Wang Meng was silent for a while and said coldly: "My general will lead 10,000 people to guard the foot of the mountain. Yuan Ping, you lead the rest to chase the fleeing bandits. No matter which side they hide, they can't escape from me."
The palm of my hand!"
The middle-aged scribe said: "General, if the female thief is among the two hundred cavalry, do you want to keep her alive?"
Brother Wang Meng waved his hand and said: "If you can, stay with me. If you can't, it doesn't matter. Just bring the body over. Go quickly, don't let them escape!"
Longtan Village is located at a commanding height, and although the situation at the foot of the mountain directly below cannot be clearly seen, the surrounding situation one mile away is clearly visible.
Zhang Yangquan and the Qin sisters stood on the top of the cliff with the best view. They saw Liu Ju and Zhang Mingjian coming from the southwest, followed by the Yuan army coming from the south. Not long after, Liu Ju, Zhang Mingjian and others
Then he ran away.
Then Chang Yuchun led two hundred cavalry to break through, and the scene of the Yuan army's three thousand cavalry pursuit was all seen one by one. Qin Lingsi couldn't help laughing and said: "They seem to be fighting!"
Qin Lingjun frowned and said, "Why does Zhang Mingjian have so many people?"
Qin Lingsi snorted and said, "I must be looking for help from someone, maybe Huangyazhai!"
"No, Huangya Village and Qingyi Village are mortal enemies, how can they join forces?"
"Look, another group of Yuan soldiers are chasing toward the southwest!" Zhang Yangquan said suddenly.
Qin Lingsi carefully observed the number of men and horses in the team, and curled her lips and said: "What a pity, it seems that the Yuan army only sent half of its troops to chase, and the remaining half should still be at the foot of the mountain."
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "I guess the Yuan soldiers are going to attack the mountain, so let's go back to the village gate to defend it!"
The three of them turned around and headed towards the village gate. Qin Lingsi suddenly laughed and said, "I really want to know how Zhang Mingjian and his helpers feel now!"
……
Liu Ju now wants to kill someone.
He only had a total of three thousand men under his command, and Chang Yuchun's thousand men were still the most brave and adept at fighting. Who would have thought that they would be defeated for no reason.
Naturally, the one he wanted to kill most was Zhang Mingjian, but now the strength of the two had reversed, and Zhang Mingjian was the master again. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, so he only suppressed his anger.
As soon as the two returned to Qingniu Mountain, he asked Zhang Mingjian to find out the news.
Zhang Mingjian was also confused, and immediately sent two groups of people, one to inquire about Chang Yuchun's situation, and the other to go into the city to inquire for news.
The group of people who inquired about Chang Yuchun's situation came back first, only to say that more than a hundred of Chang Yuchun's cavalry were besieged on a small hill by the Yuan army's cavalry. The Yuan soldiers did not know why, but they only besieged but did not attack.
"How many Yuan soldiers are there?" Liu Ju asked urgently.
"Three thousand cavalry!"
"How far is that hill from here?"
"Only ten miles away!"
Liu Ju clenched his fists with his hands and gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Zhang, there are not many Yuan soldiers. Please come with me to save people!"
Zhang Mingjian was silent for a while and said: "My brother is absolutely right. There are indeed not many Yuan soldiers, so I can save Brother Chang alone. I must guard the village to prevent a sneak attack from Longtan Village!"
Liu Ju filled his chest with anger and stamped his feet: "Let's go!" He thought to himself: "The officers and soldiers are coming for you, kid. I will go back to Dingyuan after rescuing people. Let's see how you deal with it!"
On the hillside to the north of Qingniu Mountain, Chang Yuchun saw Liu Ju leading troops from the south to kill him from a distance. He immediately raised his spear and shouted: "Brothers, the leader of the village is here to save us. Let's all charge together."
!"
Everyone broke out from the south.
There are only three thousand Yuan soldiers. Faced with a number that is not much different from our own, it is difficult to surround them all, and the two sides engage in a melee.
Most of Liu Ju's men were infantry, and the only cavalry they had were in Chang Yuchun's vanguard. They suffered heavy casualties. They wanted to escape from the west, but the Yuan army followed them closely.
"You go find Zhang Mingjian, why are you pestering me so much?" Liu Ju yelled.
The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty refused to pay attention to him. Qianhu, a black-faced man holding a horse spear, rushed to the left and right, as if there was no one in the field, and rushed straight towards Liu Ju.
Liu Ju was surrounded by four bandit leaders, and they all went up to him. They fought without a fight, but the black-faced Qianhu stabbed one to death and killed another with a horizontal blow. The remaining two hurriedly ran away.
Liu Ju was frightened and frightened. When he wanted to escape, the opponent had already rushed to him, so he could only face him with his sword. He could not fight the opponent for three seconds before he was forced to use the weapon.
Seeing that he was about to be stabbed under the horse, Chang Yuchun rushed to the horse and blocked the black-faced Qianhu with his gun.
Liu Ju narrowly escaped death. When he looked up, he saw smoke billowing and another Yuan army coming from the north. He was so frightened that he reined up his horse and ran towards Qingniu Mountain.
Chang Yuchun fought with the black-faced Qianhu for more than ten rounds. Seeing that the opponent's reinforcements were about to surround his side, he feinted with a shot, turned around and ran away from the gap, but he couldn't care about others.
After running for a while, they suddenly saw Liu Ju in front being surrounded and killed by three Mongolian cavalry. Pegasus raised his spear and stabbed two people to death. The remaining Mongolian cavalry was hacked to death by Liu Ju.
At this time, the black-faced Qianhu led dozens of horsemen to catch up from behind, and the two hurriedly rode away.
When they arrived at the foot of Qingniu Mountain, the two abandoned their horses and went up the mountain to Qingyi Village. Zhang Mingjian opened the gate of the village and let them in.
