Chapter 382: Breakout

Qingfeng Village only has its geographical location to occupy the advantage, in such a battlefield if the two sides are evenly matched, then the attacking side will definitely be constrained everywhere when attacking, and the side that does not have the guard occupies the natural danger defense so comfortably. But the situation at this moment is very different, but it has become that the attacking Mengjia army seems to be strolling leisurely, and the rebels trapped in Qingfeng Village are panicked.

Meng Li also knew that even if his number of men and horses was more than that of the rebels in Qingfeng Village, but at this time the rebels still had a certain ability to resist, if they really wanted to attack forcibly, I am afraid that their side would also pay a lot of price, the reason why he gave the rebels in the cottage a never-ending appearance of not breaking the cottage was to create opportunities for another Mengjia army.

Before the attack on Qingfeng Village began, a Mengjia army broke away from Meng Li's men, and under the leadership of Xizi, they went around a small road to the back of Qingfeng Village, and then joined Li Qing, who was waiting there. Li Qing waited until the Mengjia army arrived and led the people to attack Qingfeng Village from behind the mountain.

Li Qing led people to the back of Qingfeng Village, from here he could directly attack the third camp in Qingfeng Village, I am afraid that Xiang Liang may not know how to have an army from behind him in the end.

Behind Qingfeng Village is a mountain cliff, and there is no road leading directly to here, unless it is from the inside of the cottage along the road. And Li Qing knew that there was another extremely secret road, which was opened by Li Qing when he was in Qingfeng Village, just in case the Qin army under the mountain hit the mountain one day, and he still had a way back to retreat. This road is usually not open, the exit and entrance are on this side of the mountain, and the other is on the other side of the mountain, and the entrance to the secret passage is usually blocked, and it is no wonder that the rebels have occupied Qingfeng Village for more than two years and have not discovered the existence of this secret passage.

"After walking through this secret passage, we arrived at the inside of Qingfeng Village. Leading the Meng family army to the entrance of a cave, Li Qing said, and then took the lead in the cave with a torch, and Xizi followed.

The cave is not long, but it is not short, and after walking for nearly half a stick of incense, Li Qing led people out of the cave. Outside the cave was the back of the third cottage of Qingfeng Village, and at this time, the third cottage was empty, and everyone was in front of them to resist the attack of the Mengjia army, so when Li Qing led people out of the cave, no one found them at all.

Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang commanded the manpower to strengthen the defense of the cottage in the first cottage, fortunately, they had been operating here for two years and had made a lot of preparations, so when the offensive of the Mengjia army slowed down, the panicked and tense atmosphere in the cottage gradually calmed down, and everyone was busy with their own affairs in an orderly manner under the command of the big leader, concentrating on defending against the enemy's attack.

"Great leader, the offensive of the Qin army outside has suddenly slowed down a lot. Yingbu strode up to Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang from a distance and said to them.

Zhang Liang asked, "Is there any sign of retreat from the Mengjia army outside?"

"That's not true, because we occupy a high place, they can't use their most powerful crossbow arrows, relying on the strength of the Meng's army to rush up, that is undoubtedly to death, it is estimated that the generals of the Meng's army saw this, so they were not in such a hurry to attack. ”

As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, Xiang Liang and the Meng family army have been dealing with each other for so many years, and they have never heard that the Meng family army will let go of their enemies, they are not a group of people who retreat in the face of difficulties, how can this be like this today? Xiang Liang thought of this, he looked at Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang was also thinking, so he asked: "Does the ovary think this thing is weird?"

Listening to the sparse shouting outside, Zhang Liangmo rubbed his chin and said: "I also think it's very strange, if Meng Tian is leading the troops outside tonight, I'm afraid that the offensive of the Meng family army will be many times stronger than now, even if Meng Tian and Xiang Yu leave here, according to Meng Li's style of leading the troops, it shouldn't be like this." Mr. Xiang Liang, I think we should warn our brothers. There's nothing wrong with being careful. ”

Xiang Liang said to Yingbu: "Go, tell everyone, beware of the enemy's deception." ”

Before Yingbu turned around and left, suddenly there was a shouting and killing sound from inside Qingfeng Village, and after the shouting and killing sound in the cottage, the offensive of the Mengjia army outside the cottage suddenly turned, and countless crossbow arrows shot from the bottom of the mountain towards the mountain, and the soldiers on the wooden wall kept being hit by arrows and falling down the wall.

"What's going on?" Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang looked at the second cottage at the same time, and the shouting of killing came from there.

A Wu Commander ran over covered in blood, he ran to Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang, half-knelt on the ground and said: "The two big leaders of Qiqi, I don't know what's going on, there is a Qin army that came out of the third cottage, and the brothers didn't notice it for a while, and they were killed into the second village, and they were killing here. ”

There was a Qin army that killed from the third cottage, Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang's faces changed greatly, it turned out that the frontal attack of the cottage was simply to attract their attention, and the real killing move of the Qin army was this force that attacked them from behind.

Xiang Liang pretended to be calm, and he said to the commander: "Go and bring people, close the door of the second cottage, don't let the Qin army come in, as long as we hold on for another half an hour, our reinforcements will come back." ”

Zhang Liang looked at the battle situation around him, the gate of the cottage and the second cottage, the sound of killing on both sides shook the sky, this Qingfeng Village seemed to be unable to hold it, and if he sat and waited, he would be trapped in the urn to catch turtles, and slowly wait for death.

"How long will it take for Xiang Yu to come back?" Xiang Liang asked, Xiang Yu was the hope of the Xiang family and the Chu State, and he couldn't have an accident.

Zhang Liang calculated the time, two and a half hours had passed since Xiang Yu set off, if there was no problem on his side, this time should be back. "Since Meng Tian has made arrangements here, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have other arrangements compared to Xiang Yu's side. In short, no matter whether Xiang Yu can come back or not, we have to break through first, and if we wait, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to turn over. ”

Xiang Liang nodded, now the general trend is still not on their side, not to mention that the number of the Meng family's army is so much more than them, there is no way to fight with them at all, and the only way now is to break through as soon as possible.

Zhang Liang called Yingbu over and asked him, "How many people do you have under you?"

Yingbu glanced at the area where his men were located, and then replied, "There are about five hundred or so left." ”

"Five hundred, well, almost, it should be enough to break out. Wait a minute, you gather all your people, listen to my command, and Mr. Xiang and I will break out with you. Zhang Liang said.

Hearing that he was going to break through, Yingbu was a little stunned, and he asked, "Why do you want to break through, don't you say that we still have reinforcements?"

"Confused. Xiang Liang secretly shouted on the side, "No matter how many reinforcements there are, can they be more than the Mengjia army outside? We cannot rest on our lives. ”

Yingbu gritted his teeth after hearing this, clenched his fists and said, "No, I'll go and prepare." ”

Seeing that Li Qing successfully led people into the interior of Qingfeng Village, Meng Li ordered an all-out attack on the main gate of Qingfeng Village. It is true that the Mengjia army killed the enemy on the battlefield, but the siege of the city and the seizure of land also made them good at it. In this attack on Qingfeng Village, just in case, Meng Li also asked the soldiers to bring the hammer invented by Lao Zhou for the Meng family's army.

Under the cover of arrows and shields, the four soldiers of the Mengjia Army carrying cylindrical objects behind them arrived at the mountain gate of Qingfeng Village, took off the things on their backs, and then assembled them into a small door-breaking hammer on the ground, each of the four soldiers grabbed a short rope, pulled up the bronze pillar responsible for breaking the door high, and then quickly defended, the bronze pillar that was dropped in mid-air roared and hit the wooden door of Qingfeng Village with a loud sound, and a loud noise spread out from the center of the gate.

Xiang Liang and Zhang Liang arrived at the stable, and as soon as they got on their horses, they heard a loud noise from the mountain gate, and then another sound, and then another sound. Four or five loud noises came in succession, making the hearts of all the soldiers in the cottage tremble, as if the loud noise came from their bodies.

"Oh no, the gate is going to be broken, and we're going to rush out. Zhang Liang knew that this was the Mengjia army attacking the mountain gate, the mountain gate of Qingfeng Village was made of the branches of two towering trees in the mountain forest, which were more than two inches thick, and it was not easy to destroy it.

With all his men, some on horseback and some with swords, Yingbu prepared to clear the way for the great leader behind him.

"Ready, rush me!" With the last loud bang, the gate of Qingfeng Village was broken by the Meng Jiajun's simple breaking hammer, and it collapsed with a bang, and two soldiers who couldn't dodge behind the door were smashed.

Seeing that the gate of Qingfeng Village was broken, Meng Li was overjoyed, and just wanted to order everyone to kill them, but he didn't want to rush out of the mountain gate A cavalry rushed down the mountain road.

"Hold them for me, don't let a rebel go!" Seeing that someone on the other side wanted to take advantage of the chaos to break through, Meng Li shouted loudly.

Ji Bu led the people to watch from the side since Mengli sent the Mengjia army to the field, and at this time he saw that someone wanted to break out, and it seemed that the direction of the breakthrough happened to be his position, he said loudly to Mengli: "General Meng, with me here, the general can rest assured!"

The direction that Zhang Liang and Xiang Liang chose to break through was indeed the direction where Ji Bu was located, because the number of Mengjia troops in this direction was the smallest, and the defense was relatively weak. When they rushed to the front, they found out that this was Ji Bu's men, and without saying a word, they just rushed and killed, wanting to get out of here.

Although Ji Bu's subordinates are not as strong as the regular Mengjia soldiers, they are all people who lick blood from the knife to live, and once they are fierce, they are not weak, and they have successfully stopped the rebels who want to break out from here.

Seeing that the Meng family army was surrounding here from the periphery, and the manpower on his side was getting smaller and smaller, Xiang Liang couldn't help but be anxious, and at the moment when he was about to lose confidence, a loud shout came from not far in front of him: "Uncle, don't panic, Xiang Yu is here!" Then a spear shot out, stringing the sugar gourd formed by three Ji Bu's men who were standing in a row.
