On Dulonggang, in front of Zhujiazhuang.

The north wind rises strongly, the fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire. The flames and smoke in the Ecstasy Forest have turned this Forest of Lost Souls into a Forest of Broken Souls.

The Liangshan thieves trapped in it were constantly attacked by fire and smoke and fell, screaming one after another, and those who scattered desperately fell into the hands of traps in the forest again, and after a while, they screamed again and again.

At this time, more than 1,000 Liangshan troops were really like fish and turtles in an urn, scurrying around like headless flies, being burned to death and choking countless people to death, and the forest in this radius of more than ten miles was about to be covered with corpses.

But Sun Tu, who designed all this, still underestimated the other party's will to survive, in such a desperate situation, the people of Liangshan protected Song Jiang and burst out with a strong fighting spirit, and people continued to fall in front of them, but then some people continued to fill the position, using knives and axes to chop the burning trees, in order to open up a way to escape.

At this time, even those leaders had already fallen one after another, taking the lead in wielding swords and axes to clear the road. Lu Fang, Hua Rong and the others, who were originally personable, were already covered in burns at this time, and even their white and handsome faces were covered with scratches and burns, but they didn't care about these details at all, they just desperately cut down trees to avoid the smoke and fire that was wrapped in them from all sides.

"Don't panic, big guy, the brothers outside must have come to the rescue, as long as we go a little further, we can join them and escape from this forest!" Although Song Jiang did not do the same thing as the others, he was not idle, and kept cheering for his brothers in a hoarse voice, at this time, these people really need to work together to muster up the courage to survive.

In fact, although this fire brought them a catastrophe, it also hindered Sun Tu's vision and arrows. Otherwise, if it was really exposed to Sun Tu's eyes, it would only take a few rounds of arrows to shoot over at this time, and they would be able to harvest all these thieves who had already lost their fighting spirit and were bent on moving forward.

And seeing the trees falling down in the forest continuously, Sun Tu's face, who was originally determined to win, also became solemn. At that time, he looked at Zhu Long and a few of them: "Is there any other road here that can be detoured outside?" "Since he is desperate, he plans to leave all these Liangshan bandits here, especially Song Jiang, who is the target of his killing.

Because Sun Tu knows Liangshan very well, it is Song Jiang's reputation and talent that can stand out from the many robber cottages in Shandong, if he does not have him, Liangshanbo is not much different from many other cottages, and the government does not have to spend too much effort to exterminate them.

However, Zhu Long and the others shook their heads helplessly: "In order to ensure the safety of my Zhujiazhuang, there is no other way out except for the passage of the Lost Soul Forest ahead." ”

In this way, even if Sun Tu has the heart to pursue, he is afraid that it will be difficult to make the trip at this time. After all, there is still a fire raging in the woods, and it is too dangerous to enter it.

"It is up to people to make things happen, this time I have laid out everything, and whether I can get rid of Song Jiang can only depend on the will of heaven." At this moment, Sun Tu unconsciously understood the mentality of Zhuge Liang above, and he also trapped the enemy in a desperate situation, and it was also a fire that cut off all the other party's way of life, but in the end, it was still no match for the will of heaven......

Not today

There was a heavy rain to extinguish the fire, but the Lost Soul Forest failed to stop the survival instinct of the people in Liangshan after all. Under the desperate felling, the burning trees blocking their path were finally empty, and then a large number of people with sharp weapons appeared in front of them, and a black man was wielding two axes to pounce again, and then he was stunned, and he had already recognized the identities of these people who suddenly appeared in front of him: "Brother Gongming, is Brother Gongming okay?" It was Li Kui who was injured and led the brothers who stayed in the camp to come to the rescue, and at this time, these people were all burned, and Li Kui's black face was like the bottom of a pot.

"Tie Niu, Song Jiang is here." Seeing the arrival of these brothers, Song Jiang was relieved while being excited, and hurriedly shouted hoarsely: "Hurry up, once the fire is extinguished, the officials and soldiers are afraid that they will chase and kill again." "This time, they have been killed by the Qingzhou army, and they no longer have the determination to fight with it. And the casualties this time are too great, and they are all wounded, and if they fight again, they are afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

It was only at this time that the people who rushed to support were horrified to find that there were only two or three hundred people running out in front of them, and suddenly someone shouted in disbelief: "Brother, what about the other brothers? ”

"They...... We fell for Sun Tu's tricks, and the other brothers are afraid that they have all died. Let's go...... Song Jiang didn't want to say anything more, so he walked out quickly, and the people behind him were full of resentment and misery, but they didn't say anything, and then limped towards the camp.

This time, although Song Jiang and the others fought their way out of the encirclement and escaped from the fire, the price they paid was also extremely heavy - there were 1,200 or 300 people who attacked Zhujiazhuang with them before, but only one or two hours later, there were less than 200 people left to escape with them, and many leaders were missing, I am afraid that most of them died here.

In this battle, the Liangshan army was completely defeated, and the number of casualties had already exceeded half, and those who escaped were all wounded. This is not the most terrifying, there are actually more than ten leaders who died in successive battles, excluding Sun Li and others, plus them, this number is afraid to be twenty. This is an unprecedented defeat since the Liangshanbo Uprising, and they have all lost their souls at this time, and they don't even dare to stay in the camp for a long time, so they have retreated in embarrassment at night after only a little tidying up, and many heavy weapons are thrown down casually......

It wasn't until a long time after dawn that the fire in the Lost Soul Forest slowly went out, and what Sun Tu and the others saw when they climbed the high platform was the thief camp that was already empty. Suddenly, the cheers finally rang out in Zhujiazhuang: "We have finally won......"

The Qingzhou army is okay, but the people of Zhujiazhuang are full of surprises, originally they all thought that their homeland was not guaranteed, and everyone could be killed by the Liangshan bandits, but as soon as the Qingzhou army arrived, it took less than half a month to completely turn the tide of the war, and in addition to defeating the Liangshan bandits, they also killed thousands of enemies, which was something they didn't even dare to dream of before. In addition to some casualties, Zhujiazhuang also paid the price of the destruction of a lost soul forest.

After cheering for a while, everyone led by the Zhu family's father and son suddenly turned around and solemnly thanked Sun Tu and the Qingzhou Army for saving their lives: "Thank you Sun Dujian for leading the army to rescue, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that thousands of people in my village would be killed."

You have the virtue of rebirth for us, and please bow down to the people. ”

Sun Tu was not polite at this time, and stood there straight and led the crowd to bow respectfully. And this majestic scene fell into the eyes of Hu Rong, who had not recovered from her injuries, and added a few points to her admiration for Sun Tu......

The thieves were defeated and retreated, and it was impossible to chase and kill them at this time, so Sun Tu and they still had too many aftermath matters to deal with, such as cleaning up the battlefield, collecting the weapons and baggage left by the thieves, and dealing with the two villages on the side, especially Lijiazhuang, which colluded with Liangshan early in the morning......

Before that, what Sun Tu had to do was to appease people's hearts and pass on the news of this great victory and thieves as soon as possible.

The fire at night soared into the sky, and it was clearly visible even in Jeju City, dozens of miles away. This night, how many people can not sleep, in everyone's opinion, this fire is likely to be the end of Zhujiazhuang after being broken by thieves, this is naturally panicked, the government sent a lot of people to patrol overnight, in case there is any chaos in the city.

Even if the night was finally spent peacefully, the prefect Gu Tongzhou sighed for a long time, and he didn't know how to deal with this change until noon the next day.

Because once Zhujiazhuang was captured by the Liangshan bandits, even though there was not much threat to the city, the impact was extremely bad. In this way, the thieves will inevitably become more powerful and more arrogant than before. And the government, after this time, I am afraid that they will not dare to fight against the Liangshan bandits.

You must know that in order to rescue Zhujiazhuang before, the Jeju government also sent an army of hundreds of people to it, but the ambush suffered heavy casualties. Later, the Qingzhou army rushed to the rescue, Gu Tongzhou was still hesitating whether to send troops to support, the battle there was only turned down, I am afraid that even the Qingzhou army that rescued Zhujiazhuang had been defeated and destroyed by the thieves.

Thinking that even the Qingzhou army, which was extremely strong in combat and even destroyed the three mountains, was defeated by the Liangshan bandits, Gu Tongzhou became more and more frightened, so can the Jeju Prefecture Boundary Government still call the shots? Once the imperial court learns of this, I am afraid that the sin of the chief official of the first government will be too great.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and Gu Tongzhou didn't know how to deal with it at all, so he could only pace and turn in circles in the public house uncontrollably, and his body shook from time to time.

And after noon, there was a sudden noise outside the originally calm mansion, and it seemed that many people were shouting something, and some people were running. This made Gu Zhifu, who was in the room, even more shocked: "What's the matter?" Could it be that the Liangsan thieves actually took the opportunity to enter my Jeju capital city and enter the government office? At the moment when he was terrified to the extreme, the door was quickly pushed open, and a subordinate henchman shouted excitedly: "Futai, great victory!" I wish Jiazhuang a great victory! Qingzhou Sun Dujian led 300 elites to break through more than 1,000 thieves in Liangshan in Zhujiazhuang, and the remaining thieves had fled back to Liangshan Bozhong in a hurry......"

Gu Zhifu, who was about to fall to the ground, was completely stunned on the spot after hearing this report, his face was full of disbelief, staring at this henchman like a fantasy, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... What did you say? How is this possible? ”
