Cai Meng held up his long sword, looking like a mad man, and kept roaring. In the past two or three days, he spent a lot of effort and finally found the hiding rebels.
The three states gathered together and gathered a huge force of more than 30,000 troops. For a time, Cai Meng became very energetic. He even vaguely felt that he was the number one general in Dongling. As for the
That Kang Zhu from Shanyue was nothing more than the lord's gentle policy.
"General Cai, be careful. This is a land of mountains and forests. Be careful that there are scams." Someone next to him warned.
Cai Meng smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, there are not many rebels in Xishu anymore. Most of the remaining ones are sea people. I have been in Wuzhou for a long time, and I know that these sea people are just straw people.
If good fishermen don't do anything, they will follow the rebellion. Hum, after suppressing the rebellion this time, I will definitely go to the fishing village over there to give it a good shake!"
Most of the sea people rebelled from Wuzhou and followed the rebels all the way here. Regarding this, Cai Meng was very angry. As the general of Zhenzhou in Wuzhou, it seemed that he had lost a lot of face.
.
"Sword and Shield Hands, First Formation!"
Under Cai Meng's order, soon, three to four thousand Dongling sword shields gathered and began to march towards the mountains and forests. Behind these sword shields, there were also several infantry and bow battalions.
There are more than 30,000 troops, although there are still a lot of county soldiers among them. But no matter how you look at it, just beating some muddy legs is completely enough.
"Congratulations to General Cai. Once the good news of killing the enemy leader reaches the front line, my lord will definitely receive a reward. It is impossible to say that General Cai's general position will be mentioned again." A small staff member who followed him said flatteringly.
He spoke to Cai Meng.
"Haha, okay, okay!"
…
At this time, Lu Xiong, who was hiding in a forest surrounded by a large army, was frowning coldly.
According to the previous plan, this group of people wanted to avoid the counter-rebel forces, and they took action. Unfortunately, due to the many people and mixed eyes, spies were mixed in. Cai Meng's counter-rebel forces quickly found them.
them.
"General Lu, we're here to kill you." Next to Lu Xiong, a tall and thick man raised his head and spoke coldly.
"Pan Ji, calm down." Lu Xiong consoled him. Under this situation, if the general becomes irritable, then the entire army will probably fall into the quagmire.
Of course, Pan Ji cannot be blamed for this. Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other. Cai Meng, the chief general of the counter-rebellion army, not only imposed harsh taxes in Wuzhou in the past few years, but also killed many sea people.
Raising his head, Lu Xiong turned around and looked deep into the forest to the east.
He knew very well that no matter what, with this temporary army of more than 10,000 people, they would definitely not be able to defeat the more than 30,000 counter-rebel troops head-on.
There is a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and an even greater disadvantage in terms of quality.
"General Lu, what should we do?"
Lu Xiong thought for a while and said, "It's clear sky and daylight now. It's not good for us to fight. The best way is to wait until nightfall to exhaust the enemy's energy, and then use a sneak attack to break out of the encirclement."
The surrounding mountains and forests were densely packed, and Lu Xiong was very confident that as long as he avoided the counter-rebel troops and hid in the mountains and forests, there would be no problem in delaying the attack until night.
Pan Ji was a rough man. Seeing what Lu Xiong said was clear and logical, he nodded immediately.
"Okay, then just listen to General Lu."
…
It had just fallen into the night, although the order had been issued early. But what made Lu Xiong helpless was that many people in the tens of thousands of troops were not regular troops, and they would inevitably disobey military orders.
In just three or four hours, two to three thousand people were killed without hesitation. The result was predictable: almost all of them were killed by the counter-rebel troops and fled.
Lu Xiong sighed.
Pan Ji, who was beside him, was also extremely grieved. Most of the dead people were sea people. His hatred for Cai Meng was too deep, so he rushed out regardless of it.
"Panji, wait a moment."
Although it was night time, the best time had not yet arrived. Lu Xiong knew very well that if he could not break through tonight, he was afraid that things would be even more difficult after tomorrow when the rebel army's encirclement was reduced to 10%.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain.
He thought he had accomplished another great feat. Under the light of the torch, Cai Meng's face became even more excited. He even sent his personal guards to pick out the heads of many sea people with square faces and tie their hair into buns.
, served as the leader of the Western Shu rebels.
He is very experienced in this matter.
"General Cai, it's going to be night, so you'd better be careful." Someone reminded him.
"I know." Cai Meng smiled lightly. Again, more than 30,000 counter-rebel troops are enough to kill these rebels.
"Don't worry, everyone. I, Cai Meng, am also a man who is familiar with the art of war. If I work harder tonight, once the encirclement is completed, these thieves will have no chance of escaping. You are so brave, daring to cause chaos in my Wuzhou, if you let me
I have captured the leader of the rebels, and I will skin him alive!"
There was no intention of withdrawing the troops. In the rush for quick success, just as Lu Xiong expected, more than 30,000 counter-rebel troops took advantage of the darkness and began to set up a large encirclement and suppression formation.
But Cai Meng obviously ignored that night is the best cover. At this time, if there is a team of people who are familiar with the mountains and forests, it is very likely to change the situation.
…
To the east of the mountain forest, under the dark night, a long group of about a thousand people was carefully hiding deep in the forest.
Among the leaders, there are even a few wearing Dongling's battle armor. But these people are not counter-rebels. They are personal guards, Fife's personal guards.
"Old leader, it's night."
The man who was called the old leader was a Yue man with 60-year-old hair. He wore a cloak made of tiger skin and was leaning on a hardwood crutch. In addition to sadness, there was also a deep hatred on his face.
meaning.
His name was Fei Xiu, and he was Fei Fu's father. In order to make good friends with King Dongling, Fei Fu was allowed to marry a woman from Zuo Shiren's tribe. He thought that the marriage would make them a family. Unexpectedly, Fei Fu died tragically.
In the hands of Cai Meng, he was so unjust that he would never settle his eyes to death.
"Old leader, General Lu from Western Shu, uses the signal of raising fire."
Fei Xiu wrapped the tiger skin cloak around her body without any hesitation. For a moment, her entire body was full of murderous intent. As a father, if he cannot avenge his son, how can he have any dignity in the world.
He sent many people to call back all the warriors from the Mufeng tribe in Lidu City's mountain crossing camp. Unfortunately, three or four days passed without any response.
Fei Xiu guessed that the news was probably isolated. But no matter what, even if there were only a thousand warriors, he would still find a way to avenge his son.
After staring ahead for about another incense stick, Feif finally saw the suddenly lit torch. He paused, gritted his teeth, and raised the hardwood stick in his hand high.
"Mufeng Tribe, charge and kill the Dongling Army!"
"Roar!"
There were roars all over the mountains and forests.
