"The rebels have retreated!"

At midnight, the artillery that had been bombarded for a long time had already stopped, and the scouts who were in charge of observing the enemy situation transmitted the news to Pei Xingjian's flagship.

Pei Xingjian lay down in his clothes, immediately got up and came to the bow of the boat, looked at the dark Songping County, and asked, "Have you ever confirmed it?" ”

"It has been confirmed that the traitor began to retreat at three o'clock, and now it has just begun."

"Log in now!"

Pei Xingjian made a quick decision.

"Whoa!"

The scout received the order, and immediately raised the fiery red lantern of the First World War on the flagship, and the scout who watched from the mast hurriedly waved the lantern and waved the flag. In an instant, dozens of warships parked on the river all hung lanterns, responded with flags, and then slowly approached the shore.

The long gangplank poked out from the deck, and the draft of the sea boat at the pointed bottom was too deep to land directly, so the front section of the gangplank directly presented a slope into the shallow river, and countless soldiers stepped on the gangplank from the boat into the waist-high river water, and ran towards the river bank in a dense manner.

When the moon is bright, the long river bank is like countless crabs rushing to the river beach......

By the time Pei Xingjian got off the boat and landed, the soldiers in front had already climbed over the crumbling city wall and entered Songping County.

Pei Xingjian frowned, the traitor's reaction was a little unexpected by him, he thought that since these people claimed to restore Wanchun Kingdom, they would not give up Songping County so soon, because it would mean losing the most complicated and rich city in Annan, and they would wander in the barren land in the south from now on.

From the banks of the Red River to the Hengshan Mountain Range, the land between is flat, and even if there are mountains, they are low mountain packs, which are easy to attack and difficult to defend, and there is no place to defend......

Pei Xingjian did not send soldiers to surround Songping County in advance, lest the traitors see that they cannot escape, they will break the jar and sink the boat, pushing the entire Songping County into the flames of war. Now that the traitor is so quick to make a decision, he has earned a life......

Quickly walking along a gap in the collapsed city wall into the city, I heard the south of the city shouting to kill the earth, at this time Liu Renliang strode from the front, and said in a deep voice: "The traitors have abandoned the city overnight and fled south, leaving only a team of dead soldiers to stop us, and the last general has sent troops to pursue us with all his might." ”

Pei Xingjian nodded, his eyes flickering: "Then Li Zhuangzhi is really a character, such a foundational place, if he says to give up, he will give up, he will not hesitate at all, and he has courage." You personally lead the troops to pursue along the way, but do not rashly advance the enemy, after all, this is Annam, and the traitors are familiar with the terrain of mountains and rivers, so they should not be careless. A certain stayed to appease the people, this place is the center of Annam, and there can be no chaos. ”

"Whoa!"

Liu Renliang strode away, shouted repeatedly, and led his soldiers to pursue south.

The traitors in the city were soon wiped out, and Pei Xingjian personally sat in the town and ordered the soldiers to ring the gong and shout every street, so that the people in the city could rest assured that the traitors had abandoned the city and fled, and they could live and work in peace and contentment, everything was as usual, and they would never be implicated for no reason.

When the people heard this, they were relieved, and they went out to watch, and saw teams of well-equipped Tang troops patrolling back and forth in neat steps on the streets, and praised them in unison.

can live a good life, who wants to follow the traitor blindly?

The notice that was shot into the city during the day played a great role, knowing that the traitors wanted to coerce the people of the whole city to force the Tang army to throw rat traps and not dare to attack the city, they naturally hated it to the bone, and the sound of scolding was endless. Thinking of the fact that the Tang Army had the "Thunder God's Weapon" but only bombarded the city wall, and did not bombard an inch of the city, everyone knew that only the Tang Army valued everyone's lives and property......

Otherwise, the "Thunder God's Weapon", which is enough to open the mountains and crack the rocks, will bombard it one by one, and the entire city will be turned into powder in an instant, where will it be threatened by traitors?

This is the king!

The vast majority of the people in the city are Han Chinese, and they are naturally full of closeness to the Tang army, and at this moment, they are moved by the fact that the Tang army did not storm the city in consideration of the overall situation, and they have taken out food and wine to reward the soldiers.

The so-called "Qi Shi Pot Pulp" is nothing more than that......

The common people have no requirements, they only want the regime to be stable and the society is peaceful, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy prosperity.

Now Datang is full of flowers in China and invincible in the outside world, this is the best way in the world!

Rebel?

You are idle......

*****

The moon is bright in the sky, and the mountain fog is gusting.

At night, there is no wind, and in the dense forest above the mountain top, the leaves and grass stems are wet and crystal with dew, and wisps of mist float, like a dream.

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, clear in the silence of the night.

"Hula!"

The rebels hidden in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road woke up one after another, and each nervously clenched their blades......

The Tang Army is coming?

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not Tang Jun!"

The scout in charge of the watchout vigil reassured him repeatedly, the sound of hooves was obviously coming from the mountain road in the north, and it was impossible for the Tang army to bypass Hengshan Pass and appear behind him.

The rebels in the dense forest relaxed at this time, and when they were awakened in their sleep, they found a false alarm, so they naturally complained......

"Stop! Who? ”

The scout hidden in the forest leaped out and stopped the knight as he headed up the mountain.

"Herod!"

The knight hurriedly grabbed the reins, slowed down and stopped, and said loudly, "Where is the young master?" I came to give the order on the orders of the head of the family! ”

Hearing this title, you know that it is a servant of Li Zhuangzhi's family.

The scout stepped forward to inspect the token, and then took the knight to trot up a section of the mountain road, and found Li Xuancheng, who had just been awakened and was still angry about getting up......

Li Wuqing was also awakened, and trotted over to check the situation, of course, there was inevitably flattery in it.

Li Xuancheng rubbed his eyes and said angrily: "If it weren't for a hundred thousand urgent matters, beware of this young master cutting off your head!" Damn, it's not a thing to disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night! ”

The knight galloped on his horse for a day and a night, and the whole person was about to collapse, standing on the ground and trembling in two trembling forces, he could kneel down at any time, and he almost cried when he heard Li Xuancheng's words, at this moment, do you still have a big young master's temper?

"Young Master Qiyu, at noon the day before yesterday, the Tang Army's sailors traced the river and went straight to Songping County, shelling the city wall, the city wall collapsed in many places, and the head of the family had to lead the soldiers to retreat into the city. When the son arrived, the head of the family led the army to retreat, and at this moment he was marching south, and ordered the young master to immediately lead the army down the mountain to converge and discuss the plan! ”

Li Xuancheng was still confused in his mind, and said in disbelief: "You mean...... Songping County lost? ”

The knight who reported the news said, "Yes." ”

Li Xuancheng's eyes widened: "Just one day? Didn't hold on for a day? ”

"Yes."

Li Xuancheng was dumbfounded: "Doesn't this mean...... At present, not only is there no hope of recovering the country, but even the end of the world? ”

Knight: "......"

I can't answer that, I can't answer it right.

Li Wuqing on the side felt that he had been hit by a thunderbolt!

What's going on?

I thought that I had earned a bright road for my clansmen, and from then on I could sit on an equal footing with the Han people, and future generations of clansmen would worship themselves as sages and sages who led the tribe to glory...... This hasn't been fought yet, and suddenly he's going to become a sinner of the tribe?

He knows the virtues of the Han people too well, these people in front of him are all descendants of the Han people, with Han blood, if they lose their blades and turn around and surrender, they can probably live, but they are the indigenous monkeys in the eyes of the Han people, and they dare to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, how the end can be imagined.

The whole clan will not be slaughtered, and it is very likely that half of them will be killed......

Li Wuqing almost cried, why is his life so bitter?

When the knight saw Li Xuancheng's dejected appearance, he hurriedly urged: "Young master, don't delay!" The head of the family has an order, ordering you to go down the mountain to join him, this Hengshan Pass is very likely to have been monitored by the Tang army, if you stay for a moment, there will be more danger! ”

Li Xuancheng shuddered and lost his voice: "Dangerous? ”

Didn't you come here to ambush the Tang army?

Why is this still dangerous in the blink of an eye?

"Hurry up, hurry up and order the soldiers to get up, don't sleep, if you sleep again, your head will be gone! Down the mountain, let's hurry down the mountain! ”

Li Xuancheng hurriedly gave an order, the entire mountain forest was swaying and the leaves were shaking, and the soldiers who had been in ambush for a day and a night came out in a hurry, but no one complained at this time, they all knew the news that Songping County had fallen, and I heard that this Hengshan Pass was probably not safe, they came to ambush the Tang army, but it was very likely that they had been ambushed by the Tang army, where did they dare to stay longer?

When Li Xuancheng gave an order, tens of thousands of people ran down the mountain road......

Li Wuqing also lost his inch, it was impossible to go back and surrender to the Tang army at this time, so he could only follow the rebels all the way to the black, and he had already greeted the eight generations of Li Zhuangzhi's ancestors in his heart.

didn't dare to hesitate, and took his indigenous people to follow Li Xuancheng down the mountain.

When the army was about to run away, Li Wanshan yawned and led his soldiers to form a team on the mountain road.

"Young master, we have to hurry up, what if we are ambushed by the Tang army?"

The soldiers under his command were very anxious when they saw that the others were gone.

Li Wanshan glared at him and shouted, "What are you panicking about?" With this young master, can you still be sent to death in vain? Hmph, rest assured, everything is in the hands of the young master! Running fast doesn't necessarily mean that you can escape, sometimes whoever runs fast will be reincarnated first......"

Seeing the ignorant look of his subordinates, he couldn't explain it at the moment, but just commanded in high spirits: "Keep the queue for Lao Tzu, no matter what the situation is, you have to listen to my orders, don't panic, don't run, violators, no mercy!" ”

The soldiers under his command responded weakly, just thinking about running, Songping County has fallen, can you still hold on?

Li Wanshan is too lazy to say, run?

Hehe, when they go down the mountain, you will know what kind of terrible ending will wait for them......

On the north side of Yokoyama is an endless wilderness, where the gravel is covered and the land is barren, which is not suitable for the growth of rice, but it is a natural grassland.

Under the stars of the night, a group of swarthy cavalry was waiting for the battle, and the evil aura of Xiao Killing filled the whole land......
