Chapter 337: Officers and Soldiers Retreat

At this time, the official army only withdrew from the mountain, and did not have the intention of completely retreating, but this move had already made everyone on Erlong Mountain firmly believe that they could no longer stay here, and now the initiative had fallen into their hands.

Many people were gearing up and looked at Deng Long eagerly: "Owner of the village, this is a great opportunity to fight back, we were oppressed so badly by the official army before, it's time to be ashamed!" ”

"Yes, the owner of the village, the brothers are all holding their stomachs, but you can't just let them leave easily, otherwise what will be the prestige of my Erlong Mountain!"

The voices of the main battles continued to echo in the hall, and Deng Long's face turned red when he heard it, but in the end, he still cautiously looked at Lu Yuan, who had been silent: "Military Master, do you think we should take the opportunity to kill down the mountain?" ”

Lu Yuan swept the people present and waited around, and then said with a smile: "Of course, the junior brother also wanted to come up with this evil breath, but he still had some doubts, did the officials and soldiers really retreat when they ran out of food and exhausted their sharpness?" If this is a trick they come up with when they see that it is difficult to break my line, then we will be reckless and kill down the mountain, but it will be in their hands. ”

"This ......" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and only a few people muttered in a low voice: "The officers and soldiers will think so much?" ”

"If you are waiting for the idle officers and soldiers, they may not have such calculations, but then Sun Tu is very comparable, and he is much stronger than others in terms of ambition and means." Lu Yuan Zhengse said: "In addition, until now, the official army has only retreated to the foot of the mountain, and it is far from the situation of the collapse of the withdrawal army. ”

This sentence is to the point, and many people also showed hesitation. They had learned the power of the Qingzhou Army several times before, and once they lost the geographical advantage and confronted the official army on the plain, they had no chance of winning.

"Are you going to just let them go?" Even Deng Long was very unwilling at this time, and asked, but in exchange for Lu Yuan's silence, for the sake of safety, it is indeed the best choice to stand still.

Luda and Wu Song have also entered the room today and participated in this discussion, and at this time, seeing that the other party was actually unplanned, they were also anxious in their hearts. Suddenly, Wu Song's heart moved, and he already had a plan, and immediately spoke: "The owner of the village, the military advisor, the brothers, in the humble opinion of the younger brother, it is indeed the safest way for everyone to stay on the mountain without moving, but this is only for the present, so what if you focus on the future?" ”

Before they could react, he hurriedly continued: "We already know the strength of the officers and troops this time, this time it is because they have no choice but to retreat, once they have prepared enough food and grass to fight again, our situation will be really dangerous." Maybe by then, they'll all have a way to capture me. So we must not let them go easily, otherwise it will only be our copycat that will suffer a big loss in the end. ”

Everyone in the hall showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, someone chimed in: "Wu Erlang is right, now is the best opportunity for my Erlongshan to counterattack and win, and it can't be wasted." Owner of the village, if I want to make a name for myself on the green forest road, I must seize this opportunity! ”

"Owner, the opportunity is rare, we fight. Just wait for the officers and troops to retreat, and that is when we wait to go down the mountain to pursue! ”

"The owner of the village, the younger brother is not talented, he is willing to be a pioneer and take a hundred brothers to kill ...... mountain"

All the big and small leaders were encouraged at this time, and they all stood up to express their attitudes, looking like they were going to fight to the death, that is, Wu Song and Luda, who also stood up and expressed their positions at this time.

This time, even Lu Yuan couldn't go against the tune anymore, so he could only look at Deng Long and say, "It's naturally better for brothers to have this intention to kill the enemy." But in order to protect myself, I couldn't all go down the mountain, so I let the owner of the village lead 700 brothers to kill the mountain when the time comes, and the rest of the horses will stay with me to stay on the front line of heaven to respond. ”

Deng Long no longer hesitated this time, and nodded his head and said: "Since this is the case, whether my Erlong Mountain can prosper this time will be fought here!" ”

"I'll swear to follow the owner of the village to the death and kill all those official eagle dogs!" Everyone shouted loudly, and the atmosphere was at its peak. Wu Song and Luda also shouted along with the case: "My brothers have not made much credit since they went up the mountain, and they are willing to be pioneers this time...... Ouch......" Before he finished speaking, the wound on the shoulder of the two suddenly cracked open due to the hard slap, and blood was dripping with blood.

Seeing this, the people around all laughed, and Deng Long also shook his head with a smile: "You two have already made contributions to my cottage before, and now you are injured, this time stay in the village for the time being, and follow the orders of the military advisor." ”

"But......" The two wanted to say something more, but were interrupted by Deng Long waving his hand: "This is a military order, you must not disobey it, otherwise you will not be my brother in Erlong Mountain." ”

Seeing that the other party had said everything to this, Luda and the others could only nod their heads, but their faces were full of unwillingness and loss. It wasn't until everyone dispersed and the two walked out together that they glanced at each other, and they saw a hint of joy in their eyes, everything was really as Sun Tu expected, just waiting for their team to go down the mountain, it was a good time for the two of them to make meritorious contributions to win the cottage.

Now that the plan has been decided, Lu Yuan became more cautious, seeing that the sky had not completely darkened, he deliberately ran to the high platform outside the temple to look at the military camp below, and saw that the cooking smoke there was more sparse than a few days ago, which made him sure in his heart: "It seems that the official army is indeed about to run out of food, I am afraid that the army's spirit is also unstable at this time, once the army retreats in a hurry, it is a great opportunity for us to break him!" ”

"The official army is leaving, but I don't know if your brother from Erlongshan dares to take advantage of the situation to kill him. Even if this battle can't completely defeat them, as long as it drags on for a while, presumably Liangshanbo's reinforcements will be able to arrive. At that time, the Qingzhou official army will inevitably be defeated, and your and my wishes will be fulfilled. At the foot of the mountain, Han Benshan's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he was also observing the movements in the barracks in front of him, completely eager to try.

As for Qi Liu, he felt even more urgent at this time, and he desperately wanted to quickly join up with his brothers on the mountain to launch a final attack on the official army. However, he still had some doubts: "Do you think they will choose to leave at night?" If the brothers on the mountain fail to notice that they can't catch up......"

"No way. The variables at night are too great for them to dare to do so when the morale of the army is unstable. Han Benshan made a judgment with great certainty: "Even if they are really in a hurry to leave, they have to wait until around dawn tomorrow." The opportunity is fleeting, it depends on whether your brothers in Erlongshan have the ability and courage! ”

Soon, night fell completely.

And this seemingly peaceful night is so different and painful for many people. From time to time, the people on the mountain stood on a high place and watched the movement of the military camp from a distance, for fear that they would escape in the dark, and even a team of more than 100 people quietly touched down and returned to the old site of Jintang City to check the situation. As long as the officers and soldiers dare to withdraw at this time, they will pursue it desperately.

But this time the barracks seemed extraordinarily calm, except for dozens of officers and soldiers who were keeping vigil, the others had already entered the tent to rest, and they couldn't see the slightest intention of retreating at night, and even looked at it and no longer fortified, it seemed that as long as the people of Erlongshan went down the mountain at this time to attack at night, they could take the entire barracks in one fell swoop.

But the more this time came, the more calm the people on the mountain became, and they did not risk going down the mountain, but just watched the movement below.

The long night passed little by little, until dawn came, and there was some movement in the barracks, many people came out of the tents, and what was even more surprising was that in the shadows on both sides of the barracks, there were even good teams of heavily armed ambush soldiers returning to the camp at this time.

When he saw all this, Han Benshan couldn't help but curse softly: "Cunning guy! At this time, he actually wanted to be a yin man! "If the people of Erlong Mountain were really anxious to come down the mountain and sneak attack last night, I am afraid that they will be strangled by these two official troops who are lying in ambush. This also made him more and more jealous of Sun Tu, and this time he must take advantage of the other party's weakness to eradicate him quickly!

At this time, everyone on the mountain also saw the two armies that returned to the camp, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking. Deng Long looked at Lu Yuan with emotion: "The military advisor is really clever and knows that there is fraud in it." If you hadn't stopped us last night, we'd have fallen headlong into their trap. ”

"It's just a fluke." Lu Yuan humbled himself: "The owner of the village, Sun Tu is extremely cunning in his use of soldiers, and he must be careful when he goes down the mountain to pursue this time." Of course, from the arrangement just now, I can be sure that they have the intention of going away, and this should be their last attempt. And now, they no longer have the fighting spirit to speak of, just waiting for their whole army to retreat, which is the best time for us to defend and attack! ”

As he finished saying this, the officers and troops below also cooperated and began to pull out the village and reassemble, and the camp of thousands of people began to act in an orderly manner, and in less than half an hour, the team had slowly retreated to the rear.

"The officers and soldiers have retreated...... Deng Long's eyes flashed with a gleam, and then he grabbed his cooked copper stick and shouted: "Brothers, it's time to fight back." Down! With that, he took the lead and rushed down the hill in great strides.

The others also showed excitement on their faces, screaming and holding their weapons and following their own village owners down the mountain quickly. In just a moment, the cottage, which was originally still hundreds of people, quickly deserted, and less than 200 people remained in the temple.

Seeing Deng Long lead the army down the mountain with murderous spirits, Lu Yuan, who stayed above, clenched his fists a little nervously. And behind him, Wu Song and Luda also glanced at each other, everything has gone according to plan, and now they can only make a move when the main force leaves the mountain!
