On the official road in the middle of Jiangzhou and Shaozhou, 10,000 troops were resting, and Liu Mingzhi stood on a high post, holding a map and looking around.

Song Qing, Cheng Kai, and Zhou Baoyu stood aside with ugly faces holding their waist knives, waiting for Liu Mingzhi's orders.

Liu Mingzhi put away the map, and his face was not very good: "The five-way scouts and the information given by the Jiangzhou Thorn History, the bandits of the White Lotus Sect are wandering around this area, and they have been running around in various states for a month, and they have only captured thousands of small minions, and the important person is not seen, what is going on?" ”

Cheng Kai stuck the horizontal knife on the ground, took the map in Liu Mingzhi's hand, pointed to a few places, and explained: "Dashuai, you look carefully, from Jinling to Jiangzhou and Shaozhou, these seized White Lotus Sect strongholds are a circle, these bandits don't confront us head-on at all, and they flee at the touch of a button, leaving some irrelevant little minions to tease us!" ”

Zhou Baoyu shook his head slightly: "No, if you really want to escape, you can just disappear directly, but these traitors from time to time have a stick in the east and a hammer in the west, and they seem to be deliberately holding us in circles, and there is a chance that there is some conspiracy!" ”

Song Qing looked back and pointed to the 10,000 army: "Great Shuai, the morale of the soldiers is very low now, if we don't want to find a way to improve their morale, it will be very disadvantageous for us to really run into the White Lotus Sect's brigade!" ”

Liu Mingzhi frowned, glanced at the tens of thousands of troops, and sighed silently: "I also thought about what you said, these White Lotus Sect disciples don't seem to want to fight with us, but to restrain us from leaving Jiangnan, but what good is this for them?" Thousands of people were lost in vain just to contain us. ”

"Report!"

Liu Mingzhi hurriedly walked down the high post and looked at the scout who came on a fast horse: "Say it quickly!" What was found! ”

"Great Shuai, ten miles ahead, traces of the White Lotus Sect have been found in the dense forest of the valley to the southeast-left, and there are thousands of people to see!"

Liu Mingzhi hurriedly took out the map and checked it: "Yanxia Mountain? This location is Yanxia Mountain on the boundary of Shaozhou, and all the soldiers obey the order! ”

"In!"

"General Cheng!"

"In!"

"You lead 3,000 people to raid the key point of Yanxia Mountain, remember not to be careless, open the formation to raid!"

"Order!"

"Jiang Lei, Du Yu, Sun Mingfeng, Tao Li!"

"The last general!"

"Yanxia Mountain extends in all directions, there are many woodcutters going up the mountain to chop wood, you each bring five hundred men and horses to cross these surrounding roads of Yanxia Mountain, once you find that the brigade of men and horses can be captured, they will be captured, and if they can't be captured, they will be entangled and wait for the arrival of the army!"

"Order!"

"General Zhou!"

"In!"

"You lead 5,000 men and horses to separate formations to guard the key points from Shaozhou to Yangzhou, if these rebels of the White Lotus Sect are still fleeing at the touch of a button, the best route should be this official road and these two auxiliary roads, send thirty scouts to inquire about the news all the time, if there is a leader of the White Lotus Sect, you must not be killed, this commander wants to interrogate and see what these guys are doing!"

"Order!"

Liu Mingzhi put the map into the cloth pocket on the horse's back and turned over on the horse: "Pass the order, march to Yanxia Mountain." ”

Song Qing, as a deputy general, took charge of the order flag and began to wave the order flag to divide the troops: "The whole army listens to the order........."

Liu Mingzhi led 3,000 soldiers and horses all the way towards Yanxia Mountain, leaving behind billowing smoke and dust!

When they arrived at the periphery of Yanxia Mountain, a scout ran out from the bushes on the side with a flag on his back: "Dashuai, there are traces of fireworks in the valley, and the traitors haven't retreated yet!" ”

Liu Mingzhi took out the clairvoyant mirror and looked around at the terrain of Yanxia Mountain, and saw the high valleys on both sides of the Yanxia Mountain valley and thought for a while: "Han Peng, you led some good men in the army to find a way to climb to the valleys on both sides, are there any government soldiers, order the flag as the number, take the clairvoyant mirror and wait for the flag of the commander, if there are really ambush soldiers, there are not many people to find a way to solve them." ”

"The last will be ordered!"

Han Peng led three hundred people to quietly touch the cliff of the valley.

"Vice General Song, General Cheng, let's touch it with light skills and see if we can find out some information!"

"Okay, this valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it's better to be careful!"

"Damn, what is the White Lotus Sect, it chooses this kind of deep mountains and dense forests as a stronghold, and I am not afraid of being eaten by tigers!"

"Don't complain, you'll know as soon as you catch the boss."

The three of them walked along the mountain road to an open place and squatted down.

Liu Mingzhi handed the clairvoyant mirror to Cheng Kai and the others: "Shaozhou, the looted goods in Jiangzhou should be stored here!" Look at the things that are covered with cloak covers. ”

"Items worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are only guarded by thousands of people, will there be fraud?"

"I'm not sure, it's not clear if it's the goods! Besides, we saw at most hundreds of people, but according to the traces of footprints, there were more than just these people, where did the rest of the people go? ”

Song Qing held the clairvoyant mirror and looked around: "We are still unfamiliar with life, if only we could find some woodcutters to lead the way!" ”

"Let's go back first, wait for Han Peng's news!"

Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, Han Peng, who was obviously close at hand, took a stick of incense to climb the mountain.

"Look, big handsome, General Han has waved the flag!"

"Report the content of the flag!"

"There is an ambush, more than thirty people, it has been solved!"

"Reply, observe the situation in the valley and see if you can find the rest of the centaurs!"

The tea kung fu scout began to report: "There are only hundreds of traces, and the dense forest above the mountain forest path is too deep to see clearly." You can attack! ”

Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while: "The generals listened to the order, the cavalry made a detour on both sides, the sword and shield soldiers were in front, the pikemen assisted on both wings, and the archers supported in the rear!" ”

Song Qing nodded lightly, the chess pieces in his hand waved, and the three thousand army slowly approached the valley in an orderly manner!

When they reached a similar distance, they began to shout and kill: "The commander has an order, you are not allowed to let go of a rebel, kill!" ”

The White Lotus Sect members who were eating were a little panicked when they saw Long Wuwei who suddenly rushed to kill, and suddenly spilled the soup and pulled out their weapons, and wanted to resist.

Liu Mingzhi's face turned cold: "Release the arrow!" ”

The hand crossbows in the hands of the cavalrymen and the archers in the rear began to shoot a rain of arrows.

Immediately screaming again and again, due to the willingness of the terrain, the army did not dare to shoot arrows in a large area for fear of accidental injury, and just like that, more than half of the hundreds of White Lotus Sect members were lost.

"The cavalry obeyed the order, surrounded it, and did not let anyone leave the valley!"

A thousand cavalry, under the leadership of the commander, instantly surrounded the remaining White Lotus Sect members.

"Disarm or kill!"

"Disarm or kill!"

"Put down your weapons!"

"Put down your weapons!"

The remaining dozens of people dressed as farmers threw away their weapons one after another, squatted on the ground, and looked at Liu Mingzhi in horror at the suddenly arrived army!

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi suddenly felt a little bad, such a scene has been common since he left Jinling.

"Search!"

The entire valley was searched.

"Hui Dashuai found no trace of the rest of the bandits!"

"Back to Dashuai, the box is filled with stones!"

"Back to Dashuai, footprints have been found on many sheep intestine paths, and there are hundreds of people!"

Liu Mingzhi's face turned blue and dismounted and looked at the group of sect members who were surrounded: "Say, who is the leader here!" ”

There was no response for a while.

Liu Mingzhi's face was gloomy: "Don't say it, the generals will listen to the order, and all of them will correct the Fa on the spot!" ”

"Tell me........ The small one is now the biggest position here, the banner master of the Yanxia Mountain Branch! ”

No one can face death, and most people's hearts will collapse when the butcher's knife is put on the neck.

"Are there only a hundred of you here?"

"More than 1,000 people, the master of the altar has already led people to withdraw from the mountain road!"

"When did you evacuate?"

"The agreement is that they will retreat immediately when they hear the sound of the army shouting for killing."

Liu Mingzhi gritted his teeth and kicked over the iron pot where the porridge was boiling, looking at the surrounding valley and dense forest with a frenzied expression, and grabbed the collar of the White Lotus Sect Banner Master.

"What the hell are you trying to do? Who's handsome? ”
