Seeing that his soldiers were about to be surrounded by rebels, Lang Qing ordered his soldiers to retreat with him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't tell the soldiers about the plan in advance, and the soldiers panicked when they retreated, but this was exactly what Lang Qing needed.

Only the performance of the soldiers in their true colors will not arouse the suspicion of the leaders of the rebel army, after all, whether it is a ploy to lure or not, everyone who leads the army must be able to judge, even if the other party is a rebel, but it is not certain that there are not one or two people who know military affairs.

Lang Qing with an army of 1,000 people, desperately fleeing in front, while 100,000 rebels are chasing behind, the rebels have basically lost control, the leader of the rebels is called Wang Yuanhua, is a Taoist priest who is good at demagogizing the people, he doesn't know how to manage the army at all, that is, use three basic principles to manage, eat up, take all, and do it together.

100,000 rebels chased 1,000 soldiers in the direction of the valley, Wang Yuanhua was also a little afraid of being ambushed, but he was surrounded by the rebels, everyone around him was running, and few people could hear him now.

Wang Yuanhua could only pray that there was no ambush, and this thousand officers and troops only passed by by chance.

Obviously, Wang Yuanhua's abacus was destined to fail, and the 100,000 rebels followed 1,000 soldiers into the narrow gourd-shaped valley, and when all the 100,000 people entered the valley, the exit was blocked by 4,000 soldiers on each side of the valley who had been ambushed for a long time. At the same time, a thousand soldiers on each side of the mountain rushed out and began to release a rain of arrows at the people in the valley, they released not ordinary arrows, but rockets stained with fire oil, and the ignited rockets fell into the crowd, igniting the clothes of the rebels, and the sea of fire spread at once, and the original 100,000 troops were in the slaughter field in an instant.

Wang Yuanhua was in the middle of it, watching the rebels fall like wheat harvesting, and none of the officers and soldiers were injured, he was anxious and angry, but at this moment he had no choice but to watch the rain of arrows continue to slaughter the rebels in the valley. There are old people, children, and women, but they are all slaughtered at the moment.

Lang Qing, who stood on the hillside and commanded the soldiers to release arrows, did not have the slightest pity in his eyes, in his opinion, the rebels in the valley were nothing more than a bunch of numbers representing military merits, and the more he killed, the more military merits he had.

At this moment, the 1,000 soldiers who lured the rebels into the valley have joined the 3,000 soldiers at the exit on the inner side of the valley, a total of 4,000 soldiers firmly guarded the exit on this side, and dozens of rebels wanted to reopen the gap, but it was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, which had no effect at all, and it was destroyed in an instant.

More rebels trampled on each other in panic, hating each other, facing the incessant rain of arrows on the hillside, they were terrified, and deep down they just wanted to escape from here, but they were blocked by the bodies of their companions, and there was no way to get out.

The number of rebels is declining rapidly, and every wave of arrows that rain down can kill thousands of rebels, and the continuous sea of fire is also rapidly taking the lives of the rebels, and the cries and screams are constantly coming from the rebel crowd.

Wang Yuanhua regretted it in his heart, under the protection of several cronies, Wang Yuanhua wanted to leave the crowd with difficulty, but there were too many people, crowded people, people were crowded, and there was no space to escape.

They are like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, harvested little by little by the rain of arrows on the hillside.

"I'm going to cast a spell." Wang Yuanhua knew that there was a lot of luck today, so he planned to spend his essence and blood to cast the spell that he could only know.

"Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law!" Wang Yuanhua let out a loud shout, then bit the tip of his tongue, and sprayed a mouthful of essence blood on the short sword in his hand, and then he used the little internal force in his body and added it to the sword according to the special method.

The internal force and the essence blood reacted, generating a pure mana.

Wang Yuanhua wiped the blade of the sword with his fingers, and then pointed hard at the hillside, and saw a red blood light flash, and then an archer on the hillside suddenly flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Hurting people in the air, demon road!" The archers who saw this scene next to him couldn't help but shout in horror.

Seeing this scene, Lang Qing knew that if he didn't stop it, then it was very likely that the next thing would be the end of the collapse of his own soldiers.

"What kind of demon way, martial arts, I can too!" Lang Qing shouted loudly, and then he pulled out the long sword on his waist, and with a wave, a sword qi shot out, flying directly to Wang Yuanhua himself, Wang Yuanhua saw the sword qi, his heart was frightened, and he hurriedly pulled a cronie in front of him, the sword qi killed two people first, and then in front of Wang Yuanhua's avatar, his cronies flew out, and Wang Yuanhua kept one.

Seeing that their own generals could also hurt people in the air, the originally frightened archers stabilized their minds again, no longer regarded Wang Yuanhua as a demon, and began to continue to kill.

Wang Yuanhua had exhausted his internal strength just now, and he was no longer able to use that spell, knowing that he would die this time, his face was gray, and he couldn't lift a trace of spirit anymore.

Slowly, the number of rebels became smaller and smaller, from the first 100,000, to only 50,000 after half an hour, and after another half an hour, there were only more than 3,000 rebels left.

At this moment, Lang Qing raised his hand and motioned for the archers to stop releasing their arrows.

He didn't forget the empress's order, these rebels are all going to punish the nine clans, if they are all killed at once, even if they want to be investigated, they can't be checked.

The 3,000 people left behind are the people who will kill the nine tribes in the future.

Wang Yuanhua is also among these 3,000 people.

At one end of the valley, 4,000 soldiers began to advance into the valley, and at the same time collected the weapons of the rebels, with very few swords, and more agricultural tools such as sticks and hoes.

Lang Qing ordered the soldiers to shout that those who surrendered would not be killed, and the rebel soldiers, who had already been frightened, immediately knelt on the ground and raised their hands when they saw the officers and soldiers coming, and surrendered directly to the officers and soldiers.

Lang Qing asked the soldiers to tie all the 3,000 rebels with ropes, and then took the 3,000 rebels to Yongluo County.

At this moment, Yongluo County was already an empty city, and Lang Qing entered Yongluo County with soldiers and captured rebels, and then began to write a report to the imperial court.

The good news came to the palace seven days later, and those who accused Lang Qing didn't say a word at the moment, and Tang Mo didn't bother with them too much, took the good news and let the eunuch read it.

When Wang Yaozu heard the good news, he knew that this time the plan to bring down Langqing had failed.

On the second day, Tang Mo asked the eunuch to announce a new holy decree, in the holy decree, Langqing was crowned as a brave general, although he had outstanding military achievements, but he could not be promoted for the time being, and he needed to wait for a later decision.

Then Tang Mo asked Wang Yaozu to supervise the affairs of the Zhujiu clan, ostensibly to give Wang Yaozu a chance to make meritorious contributions, but in fact, he wanted him to offend some more people so that he could be removed in the future.

Wang Yaozu did not see through Tang Mo's plan, he thought that this was a manifestation of the empress's desire to reconcile with him, and happily accepted the holy decree, and then left the capital.

Then Lang Qing returned to Beijing, and Tang Mo praised him a lot, so that he still stayed in the court.

Tang Mo himself has been secretly paying attention to Luo Qing's safety, last time those people would definitely do it again, they didn't look like they were easy to give up.
