The little รท said โ—Ž Net], the โ™‚ little รท said โ—Ž Net],

"Soldiers, remember today! Remember these brothers who gave their lives bravely! Their blood debt needs to be paid with the lives of the enemy! โ€

After more than a dozen flames were gradually extinguished, Liu Hongyi stood in the middle of the crowd and said such words loudly.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers around shouted loudly in unison.

This shout seemed to be able to disperse the rain and fog in the air.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

In the territory of Jinghu North Road, it is also a spring rain. The whole day seemed to be shrouded in mist and rain.

On the official roads outside Changlin County, there are people walking with their families, either to the west to Dangyang County or to the south to Jiangling Mansion.

Liu Tong, the commander of the Changlin Guard Corps, led less than 2,000 defenders to escort the officials of Changlin County on the way south.

However, the garrison of Changde Mansion led by Wen Qi was nowhere to be found.

They were all lying in ambush on Rooster Ridge.

The elevation of the Rooster Ridge is hundreds of meters, with undulating mountains and dense vegetation. Hiding tens of thousands of people is no longer a problem.

It wasn't until Su Quandang and Liu Zaiyuan led the Tiangang and Tianli armies to the foot of the Rooster Ridge that Wen Qi led several generals out of the mountains.

He directly said to Su Quandang and asked, "Su Shuai, what's wrong?" โ€

At this moment, all of them were covered with rain, and they looked very wet.

Su Quandang even had water droplets on his eyelashes, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "It seems that the Yuan army does not plan to pursue us, but to occupy Changlin County." โ€

Wen Qi moved, "Then let's prepare to fight back against Changlin County?" โ€

"Nope."

Su Quandang shook his head and said, "Maybe our movements at this time are still under the surveillance of the Yuan army." If we want to fight back against Changlin, we need to continue to confuse them. โ€

Wen Qi looked at the back of the army and said, "Su Shuai means that we continue to feign retreat?" โ€

Su Quandang nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Ben Shuai and Commander Liu will lead the Tiangang and Tianli armies first, and Commander Wen, you let the soldiers come out of the mountain to break the rear." Wait until outside the Rooster Ridge, Commander Liu and I will lead the special regiment, the flying regiment, and the grenadier battalion to hide in this Rooster Ridge in a roundabout way, and Commander Wen will lead the Tiangang, Tianli Army and the rest of the soldiers in the garrison to continue south, but the speed of the march should not be too fast. At every dangerous point, 5,000 soldiers were left in ambush. โ€

Wen Qi was surprised, "Su Shuai, didn't you and Commander Liu just lead the special regiment, the flying regiment, and the grenadier to counterattack Changlin County?" Isn't that too dangerous? โ€

Su Quandang said: "We just bombarded Changlin, and we didn't enter the city, there is nothing dangerous." Even if the Yuan army pursues it, isn't there still a soldier in your ambush who can respond? โ€

After that, he thought about it for a while, and said: "If our army is in danger, the commander will release signal flares, and then you can let the soldiers come to respond." โ€

That's all in it.

Although Wen Qi was still a little hesitant, he also knew that it was unnecessary to fight back against too many people in Changlin, so he nodded slowly.

Su Quandang and Liu Zaiyuan led the Tiangang Army and the Tianli Army to continue southward.

Wen started and ran back to Rooster Ridge.

Soon, many soldiers of the Changde garrison came out of the mountains and forests.

They followed behind the Tiangang and Tianli armies.

And these are in the eyes of the scouts of the Yuan Army who are really lagging behind.

It's just that no one noticed that after Su Quandang and Liu Zaiyuan led the army out of Rooster Ridge, they quietly took several troops and hid in the deep mountains of Rooster Ridge.

The Tiangang Army Special Regiment "Sharp Sword" and the Tianli Army Special Regiment "Breaking the Enemy", as well as the grenadier battalion and the Flying Regiment in the two armies, totaled nearly 5,000 people.

Among them, there are 1,000 swords and 1,000 enemy breakers, and there is a separate grenadier battalion in the army, each carrying 20 grenadiers. There is also the Flying Camp, with twenty hot air balloons.

The battalion of regular grenadiers consisted of 200 men each, each carrying 100 grenadiers.

The flying group also has 1,000 people and 200 hot air balloons.

Of course, there are many ordnance that Zhao Dongting added later. The current forbidden army is equipped with firearms that are much more amazing than before.

Although Zhao Dongting does not want the proliferation of firearms to affect the development trend of this world, he will not joke with the lives of soldiers.

When they reached the jungle, the thousands were dormant.

Wen Qi led more than 20,000 soldiers as if nothing had happened, and continued to travel south.

Some of the Yuan army scouts ran back to report the news, and some continued to follow the Great Song army.

Until late afternoon.

The rain stopped.

Suddenly red clouds rolled in the sky.

Outside Changlin County, the Yuan army finally stopped hesitating and walked towards Changlin County.

The army transported countless grains and grass.

Behind the horses were carts with two huge wooden wheels, on which were sacks of grain. Each bag is extremely full.

There is no end in sight to the spread of the army.

And this scene was naturally also seen by the scouts in the Great Song Army.

When these scouts saw this, they quickly ran towards Rooster Ridge. went to the Rooster Ridge to find Su Quandang and them, and reported the movements of the Yuan army.

Su Quandang, Liu Zaiyuan and other generals all laughed.

I didn't expect the Yuan army to transport all the grain and grass to Changlin County in such a hurry. It seems that although the Yuan army has never attacked the city, they still have some eagerness to occupy the garrison in their hearts.

Ma Fei, the leader of the Sword Regiment, was originally the leader of Su Quandang's personal guards, and he had extraordinary skills. Later, he was taught by Su Quandang, and he also had good attainments in marching and fighting.

At this moment, he smiled and said, "Su Shuai, it seems that your plan has succeeded." โ€

Su Quandang smiled and said: "Let's not talk too much for the time being, and make the Yuan army of Changlin County cry!" Ha ha! โ€

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh louder.

Originally, I didn't expect to be able to drive back this Yuan army like this, but now it seems that there is such a possibility.

The Yuan army transported grain to the city, if all of it was blown up. No matter how many soldiers they had, they could only retreat.

The night gradually fell into darkness.

The originally gloomy sky quickly turned dark.

But there was no fire in Rooster Ridge.

Su Quandang and others led the army to hide in the mountains, and some people shivered from the cold, but they all endured it. The stakes are very high.

The same is true in many of the mountains south of Rooster Ridge.

The soldiers who Wen Qi arranged for the ambush would rather endure the cold than light torches to keep warm.

Farther away, the remaining soldiers led by Wen Qi had already set up camp. There were torches everywhere in the camp.

Soldiers could be seen standing in the firelight.

Until late at night.

The soldiers in Rooster Ridge were still staring at each other.

You can't sleep in such a damp and cold night, because it is very easy to cause a cold. Some people are drowsy and are always woken up by the brothers next to them.

"Ready to go!"

Su Quandang felt that time was running out, so he suddenly stood up and said.

Liu Zaiyuan, Ma Fei and other generals next to him all got up, with a slight excitement on their faces, and ran away.

Soon, thousands of soldiers waded through mountains and rivers in such a night, heading towards Changlin County.

From beginning to end, they did not appear on the official road.

It wasn't until they were about a mile away from Changlin County that there was no mountain to walk on, and they appeared on the official road.

In such a thick night, it is not easy to travel. Someone falls under a cliff, but this is something that cannot be avoided.

Finally seeing the torches at the head of Changlin County, the soldiers all showed a look of relief on their faces.

Quietly in the army.

After standing there, Su Quandang ordered to the generals beside him: "Advance six hundred meters, let the grenadier cannon!" When the cannon sounds, the flying regiment will take to the air and bomb! Bomb the city! โ€

The congregation will convey this commandment.

And at this moment, the Yuan army at the head of the city had no idea at all.

The grenadiers of the army again reached for the city gate and did not stop until about 600 meters. And then set up a cannon in the thick of the night.

It's a technical job.

But fortunately, the grenadiers in the forbidden army are already very familiar with the grenadiers, even if they are in the dark, they can also combine the cannons.

A total of 240 grenadiers were spread out along the line hundreds of meters outside the eastern city wall of Changlin County.

This is definitely an artillery array.

Since Zhao Dongting invented such a thing as a grenadier, there has never been a situation where so many grenadiers bombed at the same time.

Behind Su Quandang and the others, a total of 440 hot air balloons and more than 2,000 flying soldiers were also on standby.

They spread hot air balloons all over the ground and waited for the cannon to go off before they could light them into the air.

Finally, a general in front of him ran down and found Su Quandang, "Su Shuai, the grenadier battalion is ready!" โ€

The corners of Su Quandang's mouth pulled up a slight sneer, and ordered: "Open the cannon!" โ€
