Jiang Ming summoned the four generals and several civil servants under his command, informed them of Gu Shan's identity, and told them his decision. None of them objected. For the latest free chapter of this book, please visit..
.Especially after learning about Qi Jun's situation, they had no intention of opposing. They all knew that it was not easy to occupy this place and go against Qi Jun.
Because of the cooperation of Jiang Ming and his "general officials", Gu Shan led everything in Huating County very smoothly. In addition, Jiang Ming also asked Jiang Yun to bring his own order to cooperate with the Zhao army in the other two counties to take over the affairs of the two places.
Of course, in addition, he was also responsible for transporting grain, grass, supplies and military equipment transported by Zhao Jun's ships in the eastern sea area.
At dusk, the defeated Luo Family Army finally arrived outside Huating City. The reason why they arrived here at this time was, firstly, because the sky was dark at dusk, making it easier to take action successfully. Secondly, it was to cover up some abnormal situations among the Luo Family Army.
After all, on a bright sunny day, everything is clear at a glance, and some subtle abnormalities are easy to detect. But at this moment, even if there are some abnormalities, it is difficult to detect.
Luo Hu and Lin Ye, who arrived at the city, saw that there was no abnormality on the city wall. Although there were rebel soldiers stationed there, there were no other special circumstances, and they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who is leading the army below the city? Which leader of the Luo family army is it?" the garrison general above the city asked loudly.
"I am Luo Hu, the second leader of the Luo family army. Who is the brother on the city? Is leader Jiang here?" Luo Hu asked loudly as he rode forward.
"It turns out that the second leader Luo has arrived! The younger one is Wu Qingyu, the commander of Huating. Hurry! Open the car door and let the brothers of the Luo family army come in! The second leader will come down in a moment. I will come down to welcome all the rebel brothers into the city. My leader is making arrangements for you at the moment.
Let’s have a banquet for all brothers.” Wu Qingyu said as he hurried down the city.
"Master Lin, what should we do if Jiang Ming didn't come in person? Enter the city when the city gate is opened?" After hearing Chengtou's answer, Luo Hu frowned and asked Lin Ye beside him.
Lin Ye also frowned. In their plan, when the city gate opened and Jiang Ming appeared to greet him, they took the opportunity to capture Jiang Ming, force him to surrender or annihilate the gate defenders, and entered the city. There was no one in the city.
As the head coach, it would be difficult to resist the fighting of these three thousand elites. But now, Jiang Ming didn't come at all.
"Master Lin, kill! This Jiang Ming doesn't take us seriously at all. It's too abominable. With three thousand elites, there is no problem in taking over the city. Our soldiers have a lot of bows and crossbows in their hands, and the rebels in the city can't resist at all.
Our charge. As long as we enter the county government office in the city in the shortest possible time, we will be able to capture Jiang Ming and conquer Huating County." Because Jiang Ming did not appear, Luo Hu immediately thought that Jiang Ming looked down on him.
Lin Ye shook his head, and his gloomy face became gloomier. After hearing Luo Hu's words, Shen said coldly: "There are more than 5,000 rebels in the city, and there are countless rebels. If Jiang Ming can't do it in the shortest time,
If he is captured or beheaded in time, he can call on the city's defenders and people to resist us. Don't forget, we have no reinforcements before tomorrow. Jiang Ming's prestige among the three counties under his rule can be
It’s not like you Luo Jiajun can compare.”
Since the Qi army wanted to take action against these rebels, they would naturally understand their situation. Lin Ye would not underestimate Jiang Ming. Although Jiang Ming did not have any great military performance, he was able to appease the people.
When it comes to managing local areas, his ability is extraordinary. The Ten Route Rebel Army in the East is best under Jiang Ming's rule. It can occupy three counties but does not launch any military operations. Lin Ye dare not underestimate the opponent's military capabilities.
"Don't be anxious. Since they are unprepared, we will enter the city before taking action. After entering the city for a while, Jiang Ming will definitely appear in person before we arrive at the military camp. Now that Jiang Ming has not appeared, it is because he is the leader of the party.
And you are only the second leader, and your status is not equal. Furthermore, you are the general of the defeated army. How can he lower his status and come to the city gate to greet you in person? Since we want to take action, we cannot make any oversights and fight.
success."
"When Jiang Ming appears in a moment, you will attack Jiang Ming directly. The captain of our school will lead three thousand soldiers to be responsible for the raid on the surrounding soldiers and the occupation of the west gate. As long as you capture Jiang Ming, our operation will be
Success. With your ability, I believe that Jiang Ming is no match for you. You are a martial arts practitioner, and Jiang Ming is a scholar. Don’t let this captain down, and don’t let your eldest brother and my family down."
"Look, I, Luo Hu, can easily deal with Jiang Ming, a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken."
As the city gate opened, the garrison general Wu Qingyu who had previously appeared at the city gate appeared at the city gate.
"Second Chief Luo, how could the Qi army suddenly capture Jurong? How many of Jurong's defenders are left?" Wu Qingyu, who came to Wu Qingyu, looked at Luo Hu and the rebel soldiers behind him, and led
said in surprise.
Luo Hu turned over and dismounted and cursed angrily: "Damn those Qi army thieves, they raided us. The big families in the city have the Qi army's meticulous work. They cooperated internally and externally, making me unable to resist and losing Jurong County. If I hadn't run so fast
, brothers followed closely, I am afraid that I have been killed by the Qi army."
"Abominable Qi Jun dog thief, you really deserve to die! That's all, brothers must be exhausted after running for half a day. Hurry up and enter the city. After my leader got the information from Luo Jiajun, he has already vacated a military camp for you brothers, so that Luo Jiajun's
The brothers have rested. In addition, the leader of my family has also arranged food for you brothers."
"Haha... Thank you so much, Chief Jiang. I, Luo Hu, will definitely never forget your kindness. Brothers, all, follow me to the city to rest. We have been running away for half a day. It's time to have a good meal and sleep."
Just got some sleep."
Luo Hu began to enter the city with three thousand Luo family troops. Looking at the city gate which had not raised much defense, Luo Hu couldn't help but secretly rejoiced and immediately asked: "By the way, what has Leader Jiang been busy with recently? Now the Qi army is once again
An attack is coming, are you ready to fight?"
Wu Qingyu said in a deep voice: "What else can we do? It's because of the food issue. My leader is kind-hearted and has never banned refugees from entering. However, the huge number of refugees has also brought a heavy burden to us. Now, our leader has been
We are trying to find ways to raise food from those big families. As for the Qi army, we are still in the rear, and the Qi army will not be able to threaten us for a while. However, since Jurong has been captured by the Qi army, we should prepare here.
"
"By the way, the second leader evacuated from Jurong. Why didn't he go south to Nanhui to join the leader Luo Da in Nanhui, but went straight to us? If Jurong is defeated, Nanhui will be in danger."
Luo Hu said in a muffled voice: "How could we not go south? However, the Qi army has already guessed our intention to go south, so they set up an interception in the south. We had no choice but to come east. This time, we mainly come to you.
The leader asked for help, hoping that for the sake of fellow rebels, he would help us defend Nanhui and counterattack the Qi army."
"Hey! Why are there no people on both sides of the street and the houses are all closed?" At this time, someone asked suspiciously.
Luo Hu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Lin Ye's question, and couldn't help but secretly put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.
"What this brother doesn't know is that these two sides were originally occupied by various shops. If it were in the past, people would be coming and going here, the door would be open, and the lights would be bright. But now that the rebellion has broken out, where is this place?
Is there anyone doing business? There are some residential houses on both sides.
Everyone is hiding at home and afraid to come out. Recently, due to food problems, many refugees have caused a lot of trouble in the city. Therefore, just in case, after the sky darkens, there are basically no people in the streets and alleys.
I guess it’s not much better than here in Jurong.”
Luo Hu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Wu Qingyu said. Indeed, in Jurong City, people rarely go out at dusk after the sky dims. As for the shops, they have been closed for several days.
Just after turning a street, Luo Hu and others saw several soldiers of the Luo family fighting with each other in a small side passage. Although no weapons were used, more than ten people were fighting fiercely, and many soldiers of the Luo family were fighting.
They all looked sideways.
"Damn it! Second leader, please wait a moment. I have to deal with these bastards who have embarrassed us." Wu Qingyu couldn't help but said to Luo Hu with a cold face as he saw more than a dozen of his subordinates becoming the laughing stock of the Luo family's sergeants.
"It's okay for you to go, we'll wait here!" Luo Hu said with a smile.
"You bastards are under that leader. You dare to gather people here to fight privately. It seems that you are going to have a taste of the power of military law. Come over here." Wu Qingyu roared angrily as he ran towards the side road.
"No! Lieutenant Luo, something is wrong." Looking at Wu Qingyu walking further and further away and the closed doors on both sides, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a little bit bad in his heart.
"What's wrong? There's something wrong!" Luo Hu said disapprovingly, "This is not all in our plan..." Before he finished speaking, Luo Hu shut his mouth. Because Wu Qingyu did not go to the training after running over.
These dozen or so soldiers simply ran away with the dozen or so others.
"Damn it!" Luo Hu was furious. At this moment, he naturally understood that something must have gone wrong. At this moment, on the left and right sides, he suddenly remembered a loud roar of killing.
"kill!"
This roar of killing was not only loud, but also violent and full of murderous intent. With the roaring sound, a large number of rebel soldiers emerged from both sides of the street and from the front. At this moment, let alone Luo Hu and Lin Ye, it was
The three thousand mixed soldiers of Luo Jiajun and Qi Army garrison present also saw the problem. These three thousand people were all soldiers who had experienced bloody battles. Faced with the situation in front of them, they naturally realized what had happened.
"Boom..." With a loud bang, the soldiers running from the branch streets on both sides and the avenue in front suddenly stopped. The soldier at the front slammed the big shield in his hand to the ground.
.
Suddenly, with the sound of "boom", Lin Ye felt dizzy. This was a giant shield. Even the garrison did not have such a weapon, but how could this rebel army have it? More importantly, in the surrounding houses,
, a stringed arrow also protruded from the window, and on the roof, there were also densely packed archers who were waiting with their bows drawn. However, how could these rebels have bows and arrows? And there were so many of them?
"Ambush, there is an ambush."
"You've fallen into a trap, we've fallen into a trap, the damn Huating defenders have an ambush!"
Suddenly, the three thousand Luo family soldiers seemed to explode. Countless soldiers yelled and even cursed. Naturally, they were extremely clear about this action. Now that they failed to attack the opponent, they were ambushed. This is true.
It's a little hard for them to accept.
"Jiang Ming! What do you want to do? Is this how you treat your rebel brothers?" Luo Hu was shocked, but he still shouted angrily.
"Haha... Luo Hu, the second leader of General Luo. Can you tell me why you were able to lead three thousand people to run for nearly a hundred miles without being broken up or being pursued by the Qi army when your Jurong County was breached?
Could it be said that we can capture Jurong County and defeat thousands of your soldiers?
They didn’t even have the troops to send out troops to pursue what they saw as the leader of the rebel army? Can you tell me why your men fled for nearly a hundred miles? Although their clothes were scattered, none of them lost their weapons, armor or equipment, and what happened before?
Does anyone still have a strong bow in his hand?"
"Don't explain, what are you doing here this time? I know very well. I never expected that your Luo family army would surrender to the Qi army. Have you forgotten how the local government despised us?"
Countless people were displaced and even starved to death."
"Brothers, the Luo family army has surrendered to the Qi army that killed our family and made us homeless. Now, they want to attack our Huating, can you allow it?"
"No! No!" Suddenly, a thundering roar came from around the west city gate, shaking the whole place...
Seeing the opponent's momentum, Lin Ye was stunned, and Luo Hu was also completely stunned. His head, which was originally held high, dropped weakly at this moment. Like a defeated rooster, he lost his strength and prestige.
"Damn it! If I had known, I would have directly captured the city gate when we entered the city! If we occupied the city gate, maybe we wouldn't have ended up in this situation." Lin Ye's heart was full of regrets. He didn't expect that this little Huating rebel army would actually trick him.
Together, these three thousand people became the turtles in the jar.
If he had known that this would be the case, Lin Ye would have agreed to Luo Hu's suggestion long ago. He would have directly captured the city gate when Jiang Ming was not found and the city gate was opened. If that were the case, at the very least, he would have been able to ensure that his men could evacuate smoothly. You know,
These three thousand people are the elites among the Luo family army and the three thousand garrison coming from the east this time.
"Luo Hu, you have been surrounded by my people. If you want to survive, surrender as soon as possible, otherwise..." Jiang Ming said to Luo Hu in a cold voice.
Luo Hu snorted coldly and said: "Surrender? Don't even think about it! Jiang Ming, why do you have so many archers under your command? Why do you have giant shield soldiers under your command? You can't get these weapons at all."
Jiang Ming said coldly: "Under my rule, there are many squires and big businessmen. They live under my rule. There is no problem at all if I ask them to donate some of the materials they have saved and build some. So.
You, Luo Hu, have had countless experiences of raiding homes, so you should know how powerful these wealthy squire families and those large merchants are."
"The whole army is ready! Luo Hu, last chance, surrender or die!"
"Surrender? Impossible! Brothers, follow me. As long as you kill Jiang Ming, this city will be ours, and these weapons and equipment will also be ours. Those who are popular and those who drink spicy food are now." Luo Hu shouted angrily.
It is clear that under such circumstances, there is only one way to go if you do not surrender, and that is to break it with force. Simply put, it is time to fight desperately.
"Kill! We have no way out, kill those who don't want to die!" Lin Ye also roared with red eyes. The three thousand soldiers, whether they were a thousand garrison troops who had no retreat or two thousand desperadoes, were all roaring at this moment.
He made a sound and rushed forward quickly.
"Stubborn!" Gu Shan, the Zhao Jun Qingqi captain who was standing next to Jiang Ming, said coldly, "Since you want to die, then let them do it and give me the order to kill them!"
"Archers, release!" The junior officers under Gu Shan who were responsible for various aspects saw Gu Shan's order and also conveyed the order to attack.
The archers above the house and the archers on both sides of the street loosened their bowstrings. In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, flying towards the three thousand Luo family soldiers who were rushing forward. At such a close range,
Without armor and shield defense, it is conceivable that
The destructive power of this rain of arrows is so powerful. Even some desperadoes in the Luo family army felt goosebumps all over their bodies when they heard the sound of thousands of arrows being fired. Especially when they were unable to defend themselves, the situation was even more...
Oops, their fear suddenly increased a lot.
"Uh...ah...ah..." In an instant, screams continued one after another. Because of the ambush and the opponent's irresistible attack, many soldiers panicked, and even some soldiers began to retreat, trying to
Pull back. Of course, they want to pull back
It is also impossible. They either died under the rain of arrows or at the hands of some officers. Among these three thousand people, the garrison had supervisors and officers. Among the two thousand Luo family troops, there were even those who were die-hard loyal to Luo Qing.
Desperados, how can they cause people to retreat and affect their morale?
Soon, the mixed soldiers of the Luo Family Army and the garrison approached the rebels under Jiang Ming on both sides and in front. If we talk about a head-on battle, the men and horses under Jiang Ming are indeed inferior to the Luo Family Army. However, hundreds of soldiers from the Zhao Army were added, equipped with
After using various weapons and gaining the absolute upper hand, they no longer worried.
"Kill...stab..." As the Zhao army officer shouted violently, the garrison soldier behind the shield stabbed fiercely from the gap between the two shields.
"Puch..."
"Uh...ah...help!"
The next moment, the two sides were fighting, and the giant shield soldiers of the defenders were seen guarding the defenders behind them like an indestructible city wall. The soldiers behind the giant shield soldiers kept thrusting out their spears, killing each of the Luo family soldiers.
Stabbed to death. Corpses fell to the ground one after another, and pools of blood stained the ground red.
