Nanmen Liang led the army back to the city overnight, because it was inconvenient to march at night, the distance of sixty or seventy miles was not finished until the sky was slightly bright, seeing the tall city wall of the west city faintly appeared, the soldiers were at ease, thinking that they could enter the city to rest immediately.

Suddenly, a man galloped in the distance, but this man was fierce, and he waved his hand to stop the army as he galloped. In a blink of an eye, Lei Li came to the front of the righteous army, and Nanmen Liang said: "Lei Li, why are you here, don't you do it here on the Zhuangzi?"

Lei Li said: "The big boss, the big thing is not good, Wangxi City was forcibly occupied by Jian Haoran's dog thing leading the soldiers and horses of the Jian Mansion, at this time they laid an ambush on the city wall and were waiting for the master to drill in, the small one was afraid of the master's plan, so he stayed here to report to the master." ”

Nanmen Liang was shocked: "There is such a thing, Jian Haoran, a brute, dares to do such a hurtful thing." The city was occupied by him, could it be that the family members in the house were also poisoned by him?"

Lei Li said: "That's not true, there were still some Zhuang officials in the house at the time of the incident, and they escorted the family members of the big boss to flee to the small village, and they were all safe and sound at this time." ”

Nanmen Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is very good, but now there are interceptions in front and chasing soldiers in the back, where should we go?"

Xia Yucheng, Ye Min and others on the side also fell into contemplation, and after a while, Yi Qingfeng said: "The big boss, it's better to go to Brother Lei Village to avoid it, it's a good place to stay, not to mention anything else, at least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”

Nanmen Liang said: "Qingfeng is reasonable, our hundreds of soldiers and horses have to eat and drink enough to start a war with the enemy, since Jian Haoran has occupied the city, I think he will definitely not be able to spare his hands to take care of Zhuangzi, let's take down a few Zhuangzi outside his city, and let him taste the bitterness." ”

Xia Yucheng and Hong Sheng said: "This plan of the big boss is very good, we will have the foundation of Zhuangzi to take root, and then recruit troops and sell horses to strengthen the strength, and it is not difficult to fight against the old thief of Tong Shun." ”

Ye Min said: "Exactly, besides, there is Yaowutang to be our backing, I think the head of the family will pay close attention to the current situation, there is really no way back, I can ask his old man to go out of the mountain to preside over justice." ”

Xia Yucheng said: "Senior sister reminds me that I should write a letter back to the school hall and make it clear to the master." ”

The sky was already bright while speaking, and Nanmen Liang said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, the troops of the old thief of Tongshun may be coming, let's go to Zhuangzi to avoid it first." As he spoke, he led the army towards the farm.

In the next few days, Jian Haoran and Tong Shun were in cahoots, and teamed up to eradicate dissidents and enslave the people in Wangxi City, while Nanmen Liang and Xia Yucheng were not idle, they used their soldiers and horses to successfully take down several Zhuangzi in Jian's Mansion outside the city.

Time flies, nearly two months have passed, Tong Shun and Jian Haoran's power in Wangxi City has gradually consolidated, and when he learned that all the Zhuangzi he was located outside the city were taken by Nanmen Liang, Jian Haoran had already held a fire in his heart. On this day, he and Tong Shun, Wu Yan and others sat in the main hall of the military camp to discuss matters, and Jian Haoran said: "Elder Tong, now that the situation in Wangxi City is stable, everything is under your control, Jian thinks it's time to sweep away the remnants of Nanmen Liang." ”

Tong Shun said: "What Gongzi Jian said is extremely true, and the old man is also planning to do so, but those remnants are wandering around and are uncertain, and it is quite difficult to deal with, I don't know if the general is willing to lead the army to crusade?"

Jian Haoran volunteered: "Jian is willing to go, there is nothing in this Wangxi City that I am not familiar with, but Nanmen Liang has many soldiers and generals, and I am afraid that he is not his opponent with only the soldiers and horses under him." ”

Tong Shun said: "This Jian Gongzi don't have to worry, since you and I have reached the alliance, we are grasshoppers in the same boat, and there is no difference between you and me." Nanmen Liang, Xia Yucheng and the others are really difficult to deal with, so it is better to go with Brother Wu, Brother Jiang, and Brother Ren. ”

Wu Yan, Jiang Nanchun, and Ren Baichuan said: "Everything is arranged by Elder Tong. ”

Tong Shunxi said: "Okay, then you prepare quickly, tomorrow you will send troops to attack the Kou, and you will definitely eradicate Nanmen Liang, Xia Yucheng and others." ”

The people discussed for a while, and then dispersed.

The next day, Jian Haoran, Wu Yan, Jiang Nanchun and others gathered more than 1,000 soldiers and horses and went out of the city, except for half of these soldiers and horses were disciples of the Guangming Sect, and the other half were recruited from various large and small forces in Wangxi City, among which there were people mixed with the three sects and nine streams.

The army was about to arrive at the farm in Nanmenliang, and for the sake of prudence, Wu Yan suggested sending a small force to find out the information first, so as not to fall into the opponent's tricks. A group of new small leaders rushed to go, among which Shujixia and Wen Zhi were still active, these two people were originally ruffians in Wangxi City, and they usually didn't do their jobs in the city to get acquainted with the children of rich families, but they just wanted to get some benefits from them, so they were familiar with Jian Haoran.

Seeing that the two of them were willing to go, Jian Haoran was happy to be a favor, he opened his mouth and said: "Ji Xia, Wen Zhi, this matter will be handed over to the two of you, in front of you is the Zhuangzi of Nanmen Liang, I am afraid that there will be ambushes along the way, you must investigate everywhere in detail, don't do things hastily, do you understand?"

Ji Xia and Wen Zhi said in unison: "The little one understands." As he spoke, he led dozens of minions forward.

The two rode forward, and there were only one or two dangerous places along the way, and the two did not dare to be careless, so he carefully examined them, but found no enemy ambush at all. It turned out that Nanmen Liang had already received the news that Jian Haoran was leading his troops to attack, but in the past two months, he had already armed Zhuangzi like an iron bucket, and he thought that he could resist the enemy by virtue of Zhuangzi's geographical advantage, so he didn't spend his mind on ambushes along the way.

Ji Xia, Wen Zhi unimpeded came to the periphery of Zhuangzi, from a distance only to see a huge military camp standing, inside the flag waving and guarded, from time to time there are heavily armed soldiers back and forth patrolling, the military camp around the same tight defense, one by one guard towers rise from the ground, there are a large number of archers on the top of the strict guard.

Seeing this scene, Ji Xia and Wen Zhi were secretly speechless, and the two ordered dozens of small minions behind them to hide in the dense forest on the side, for fear of being discovered by the enemy. Ji Xia said: "Damn, Nanmen Liang seems to have taken sufficient precautions, and I am afraid that our battle will not be easy to win." ”

Wen Zhi said: "If you want to do so much fart, you can't take it or not, there are Jian Gongzi and Elder Wu, why worry about you and me." Our mission to find out the intelligence has been completed, and there are no enemy ambushes along the way, so we can send someone to report back now. As he spoke, he picked out one of his subordinates and returned the favor.

In the rear, Jian Haoran and Wu Yan received a report from the fast horse, and when they learned that the road was unimpeded, they quickly led the army to arrive. Looking at the enemy camp in the distance, which was armed like an iron bucket, Jian Haoran said: "A dog thief like Nanmen Liang has really worked hard, this formation is like a frightened porcupine, how can we eat?"

Wu Yan said: "The porcupine is still a pig, but it has a thorn, so we are still afraid of it." Now that the arrow is ready to be fired, let's go and see what they can do. As he spoke, he led the troops forward.

Seeing the enemy attacking, Nanmen Liang and Xia Yucheng had already made full preparations, and the two led hundreds of soldiers and horses to rush out of the camp, and cooperated with the archers on the outer arrow towers to attack the enemy together. The archers on the arrow tower condescended to show their skills, they all had excellent marksmanship, only to see the whistling arrows rain down towards the rushing enemy formation, like the life talisman of the king of Yama, after a few rounds of arrow rain, the enemy army fell in the array.

The archers showed their might, and the cavalry that was ready to go was not to be outdone, and they attacked quickly under the leadership of Nanmen Liang, Xia Yucheng, Ye Min and others, and the momentum was as extraordinary as if a tiger descending from a mountain. On the other hand, the soldiers and horses on Jian Haoran and Wu Yan's side obviously did not have enough to estimate the strength of the opponent, and under the wave of the opponent's stormy attack, they were instantly defeated like a plate of scattered sand, and the dead and wounded were everywhere.

This result was obviously unexpected by Wu Yan, Jian Haoran and others, the expressions on their faces were really ugly and ugly, seeing that the general trend was gone, Wu Yan didn't want to struggle anymore, so that he didn't even use his own killing move "Summoning Technique" and fled.

This battle was really disgraced, the opponent almost didn't hurt a single soldier, but more than half of his own troops were killed or wounded, as the commander-in-chief, Wu Yan and Jian Haoran didn't mention how annoyed they were, so they were thinking hard all day long after they retreated to the city.
