"Brother Shi, little brother will go and find it. Anything else? If it's gone, the little brother will go to Ma Ge to play. "Zhong Jian had already wanted to go to Uncle Ma, who had a good relationship, to drink, anyway, it was very safe in this Laizhou Palace. The number of spies from the military intelligence department deployed by Li Taizhi to garrison outside the mansion alone reached more than 100 people, not counting the Laizhou guards who protected inside and outside the mansion, and Luo Shixin and other generals also patrolled the mansion at any time.

Chuchen has long been in harmony with Wang Dai, and the good ones are like sisters, and they have endless words in Wang Dai's boudoir every day. Only Zhong Jian was left to accompany him outside the house at any time.

Not long after, Li Taizhi hurried to the mansion to meet Yang Er.

"Master Li, I have a new batch of firearms here, which can be used by individual soldiers. Immediately arrange competent people to send some to Du Fuwei of Langya County, not much, it is enough to send 1,000 wooden-handled grenades, so that he can act secretly. Also, tell Du Fuwei that if Xu Yuanlang is willing to submit to the king, he can also leave his life. If not, do as planned. Yang Er didn't say much, and said directly to Li Taizhi.

"Lord, the lower officials understand, let's do it." After saying goodbye, he turned around and went to find Uncle Ma.

As far as guerrilla warfare is concerned, Du Fuwei has these powerful grenades in his hands, and it is a sure win. It's better not to blow up the self-righteous Qin Qiong, it's still useful to keep him.

Sanyo Castle.

Since the beating of Jinan Tang Bi ordered his brother Tang Jin to be the commander, Qin Qiong was the vanguard to prepare to Langya County to clear out the bandits and thieves when the news reached Fei County, where Xu Yuanlang was stationed, Xu Yuanlang did not care about this, he had about 50,000 soldiers under his command, and occupied all the dangerous fortresses, and he was still very sure of dealing with the 20,000 Qing Suppression Officers and Army. Du Fuwei returned to Shanyang City on the pretext of returning to Jianghuai's hometown to mobilize troops and horses to Langya to help in the war, and was discussing with the deputy general Fu Gongshi at this time.

"Brother Gongshi, this time the Tangbi army is about to enter Langya County to clear out Xu Yuanlang's department, this is the best time for my Hedong Jin army to take advantage of the chaos to expand its sphere of influence. That Xu Yuanlang thinks that he wants to resist the official army with his own strength, and he really doesn't know how to die! Under the pretext of going back to Shanyang City to mobilize troops to help, he broke away from him. You can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, looking for an opportunity to attack. Du Fuwei said to his henchman Fu Gongshi with a confident attitude in the study.

"Big brother, according to the order of the lord, I will not only repel the official army, but also take the opportunity to replace Xu Yuanlang's forces in Langya County. It's just that these two are not easy to do! Fu Gong Shi stroked his beard and whispered.

"Humph! Then let Xu Yuanlang consume the officers and troops in front first, if Xu Yuanlang dies at the hands of the officers and soldiers, it is best. We can send troops against the officers and soldiers. If we can't hold each other, we will immediately join the battle group to help Xu Yuenlong's troops join forces to repel the official army. As for Xu Yuanlang himself, is he collecting it for the lord or looking for an opportunity to eradicate it? What does my brother mean? ”

"Big brother, Xu Yuanlang is arrogant, how can he be a person who has lived under others for a long time? Moreover, he was originally born as a thief in Taishan, bullying men and women, doing evil things, and having a very bad reputation in the local area. If you accept him, how can you be under you and me, and you will ruin the reputation of the lord, and the younger brother thinks that he should be destroyed to avoid future troubles. Fu Gong Shi made a slashing gesture as he spoke.

When Duvowe heard this, he couldn't help but start groaning. After getting along with Xu Yuanlang for a period of time, although he knows that he has many bad habits, this person is still quite righteous towards his brothers, and his subordinates also obey him. It's also good to treat yourself, Du Fuwei has the heart to persuade him to join the King of Jin, but Fugongshi's words are also very reasonable. This person in Langya Taishan area hidden a lot of power, if the army is defeated, it is very likely to enter the mountain as a bandit, then the official army will definitely not be able to it, when the official army retreated, he will be in the Taishan area to claim the king and hegemony, to persuade it to surrender seems impossible.

Seeing that Du Fuwei was walking back and forth in the study and couldn't make a decision, Fugong Shi stepped forward and said, "Big brother, how can you accommodate two fierce tigers in this Jianghuai land!" Besides, the lord has already sent a letter to ask me to take advantage of the situation to send troops to Donghai County and occupy the port of Jiaozhou Bay, then Donghai County is separated from my Jianghuai by Langya County! How can there be a reason not to return Langya to the lord? If we don't take the opportunity to destroy Xu Yuanlang, how can we occupy that place. After getting rid of Xu Yuanlang with the help of the officers and soldiers, we can take the opportunity to collect his troops and use them according to their places. The younger brother felt that Xu Yuanlang couldn't stay, so it was better to kill him to avoid future trouble! Fu Gongshi insisted on his idea and once again suggested killing Xu Yuanlang.

"What the virtuous brother said is reasonable! That Xu Yuanlang, as the virtuous brother said, has a lot of heart, how can he convince my brothers in troubled times. Then borrow Qin Qiong's hand to kill him! If he hadn't died under Qin Qiong's command, you and I would have to design to kill him. After Du Fuwei figured out the reason, he made up his mind not to live Xu Yuanlang.

"Big brother, he is in the light and in the dark, and he is here with more than a thousand sky-bombing grenades sent by the lord, is it possible that he can still be allowed to live? Hehe! ”

"Good! The virtuous brother is ready to take action in person. That guy is extremely cunning, and it is estimated that Qin Qiong will not be able to kill him. ”

"Big brother rest assured, little brother will handle this matter properly."

After saying that, the two laughed.

At this time, the 20,000 officers and troops of Tangbi Jinan Mansion had gone south to easily occupy the two cities of Xintai and Dong'an in the north of Langya County. Xu Yuanlang couldn't wait for Du Fuwei's troops to arrive, so he ordered 50,000 troops from Fei County to go to Mengyin City to resist the enemy.

Soon after the army entered the small city of Mengyin, the officers and troops led by Tang Jin and Qin Qiong appeared outside the city. Under the command of Qin Qiong, 20,000 horses and horses soon surrounded the 4 gates of Mengyin City, and Xu Yuanlang led the generals to the city to defend it in case the official army attacked the city.

"Damn, there are only 20,000 officers and soldiers, and there are only 4 gates surrounding me, and there are only 5,000 men and horses in each place. There are 50,000 elite soldiers in my city, and tomorrow we will attack at the same time with 4 gates, defeat the besieging officers and troops in one fell swoop, and teach Tang Bi a lesson to the old man. Xu Yuanlang saw that his city had been surrounded, but he didn't care at all, he had a strong city and nearly 3 times the enemy's men and horses, how could he not win?

"King, although there are many soldiers and horses in our army, there are not enough weapons, especially war horses! The last general sees that there are at least 3,000 horse troops in the official army, and the king should not be underestimated! A leader reminded Xu Yuanlang beside him.

"Huh! So what? Only that Qin Qiong has some ability in the official army, and the king of Japan will go out of the city to meet him for a while, if he is defeated, the official army will inevitably be defeated and retreat, and we can go out of the city to cover up and kill, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Xu Yuanlang believed that he was strong in martial arts, and he didn't take Qin Qiong in his eyes, but he still didn't mind saying it.

On the second day, Xu Yuanlang's troops had dinner early, and when the sun was shining, they took 3,000 men and horses out of the city to line up, ready to welcome the officers and soldiers to fight. Xu Yuanlang rode a black horse alone, holding a wind-splashing knife in his hand, standing majestically in front of the queue, looking at the Great Sui officials and soldiers who were slowly approaching his city. When the two armies were aligned, a general jumped out of the official army, this general was Qin Qiong who rode a yellow horse and held a double sword, and the general who followed was Tang Jin, the leading general.

Seeing Qin Qiong coming out of the horse, Xu Yuanlang didn't answer, and urged the mount to meet him. It's just that, supplemented by the battle, Xu Yuanlang realized that he was not Qin Qiong's opponent at all, and he only lasted for more than ten rounds, and he could no longer support it. Qin Qiong took a flaw, only smashed Xu Yuanlang's back state of mind, and smashed Xu Yuanlang's mouth to spit blood and returned to the saddle. Qin Qiong did not chase after him, and he was defeated back to his own position.

In this battle, although Xu Yuanlang was not killed, he also lost half his life. If it weren't for the hard armor of his own armor, he would have been killed by this hammer. When he returned to the city, the four gates were closed, and no one dared to go out into battle.

Tang Jin saw that the city had already been prepared, and he had few soldiers and lacked siege equipment, so he could not rob it, and after winning for a while and dampening the enemy's morale, he Mingjin collected his troops and returned to the village, and discussed with Qin Qiong the method of breaking the city.

"General Qin, although our army has surrounded the four gates now, but the enemy is strong, and it is far away from the city, and I dare not go out again, our army has few soldiers, and we can't attack the city, so what can I do?" Tang Jin said to Qin Qiong.

"Great handsome, it is very easy to break this city, it only takes a few days to besiege the city. How can he hold on to the fact that he has little food in the city, and though he has many men and horses? When it breaks through, the last general can lead 3,000 horse troops to kill the bandit army in one fell swoop. "Qin Qiong has many friends in the rivers and lakes, and knows that these rogues have insufficient food, and as long as there is a shortage of food, they will disperse in a hurry. There is no need to use siege warfare at all, just wait for it to run out.

"So good! The soldiers of the south gate can be withdrawn, surrounded by three missing one, urging them to flee from the south gate, and General Qin can take 3,000 horses to ambush in the small road in the Meng Valley, and the deserters can be killed in one fell swoop. Tang Jin pointed to the Mengshan trail on the map and said.

Qin Qiong looked at the map and nodded. said: "The last general commands." Set to intercept and kill the bandit leader on the Mengshan Trail, and defeat the Langya bandit army in one fell swoop. ”

Xu Yuanlang was seriously injured and had no strength to fight again, so he had to order his generals to guard the city gate and wait for Du Fuwei to lead the army to come to help. For three consecutive days, the defenders of the city did not wait for the official troops outside the city to attack the city, nor did they wait for Du Fuwei's reinforcements to arrive.

"King, this small Mengyin City is extremely unfavorable for our army to defend for a long time! And there are few people in the city, and there is even less food, and my army of 50,000 will run out of food. A leader shouted in front of Xu Yuanlang's sickbed.

"The people and horses of the Fuwei brothers are already on the way, so they can abandon this city and enter the Mengshan Mountains from the south gate tonight only a few dozen miles away, or they can go to meet the Fuwei brothers. When they arrived in the mountains, the cavalry of the official army lost their advantage, and there were many of our soldiers, so he did not dare to pursue him from behind. Xu Yuanlang straightened up from the bed and said. After a few days of recuperation, his injuries have also improved. Seeing that he was about to run out of food, he no longer had the confidence to continue to stick to Mengyin City, and just wanted to return to his hometown Fei County as soon as possible, which was close to Mount Tai, where he started, and was enough to resist the invasion of the official army.

The battle situation in Mengyin City was under Du Fuwei's control at any time, not that he couldn't rush to the city to flank the official army, but that he and Fu Gongshi were unwilling to go forward to relieve Xu Yuanlang's predicament.

"Brother Gongshi, the Malay report found that the 3,000 men and horses of the official army were ambushed on both sides of the trail deep in the Mengshan Mountain in front, and it must be expected that Xu Yuanlang's army would return from the trail if he was defeated." Du Fuwei said to Fu Gongshi.

"Big brother, it is said that Xu Yuanlang and Qin Qiong were seriously injured in the battle, and he must be in a hurry to return to Fei County. Why don't I wait to meet him at the exit of the Mengshan Trail. Fu Gongshi said.

"Slow! Brother, it is a good opportunity to solve Xu Yuanlang at this time, if he is allowed to return to Fei County, it will be difficult for us to find a chance to get rid of this person. ”

"Big brother, that's right. But I only have 5,000 people here, so what should I do? ”

"Qin Qiong's 3,000 men and horses want to intercept and kill 50,000 Langya's retreats, which is quite difficult. It can only be killed from behind, it seems that we can't borrow Qin Qiong's knife, and we have to do it ourselves. The exit of the Mengshan trail is narrow, allowing only three horses to pass in parallel, and there are cliffs on both sides. Brother Xian can bury hundreds of sky-bombing grenades at the exit, and when Xu Yuanlang arrives, he can detonate them, and send him back to the west here. You can also plant the name of killing him on the heads of Qin Qiong's officials and soldiers, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone! If you do it well, you can blow up half of the cavalry of the officers and soldiers, and it can also reduce the threat to us. Du Fuwei said fiercely.

"Big brother's plan! The younger brother will arrange it, and he must not let Xu Yuanlang's gang get out of the Mengshan Trail alive. After that, Fugong Shi Lema went back. There is a special MI team guarding the elite team of grenades, and no one else can come close.

When the sky was bright, Qin Qiong, who was ambushed in the depths of the Mengshan trail, had already received the news that the bandits in Mengyin City had retreated here, Qin Qiong ordered his 3,000 elite cavalry to hide the horses, and the cavalry all dismounted and held bows and arrows to ambush on the slopes on both sides of the trail, just waiting for the retreat to come here.

A pair of bandits passed under the noses of Qin Qiong's ambush soldiers, and Qin Qiong did not give the order to attack. An hour later, there were as many as 20,000 bandits. Suddenly, a carriage appeared in Qin Qiong's eyes, and dozens of horse generals were clustered around the carriage, and Qin Qiong knew at a glance that the carriage must be Xu Yuanlang, the leader of the bandits who was seriously injured by himself a few days ago.

A rapid bangzi sound sounded, Xu Yuanlang on the trail below the mountain and the generals of the guards were suddenly dumbfounded, and kept looking at the bangzi sound on the hillside. As soon as the sound of bangzi fell, thousands of ambushes appeared on both sides of the hillside, and at the same time, a rain of arrows shot at everyone. The generals hurriedly rushed forward with their horses, or raised their shields to shield the arrows from the incoming arrows, and suddenly the whole team was in a mess, and rushed to the mountain pass.

The carriage carrying Xu Yuanlang did not care about the life or death of the infantry around him, and his personal escort only cared about whipping the horses in the trailer. The guards raised their shields to protect the carriage from their bows and arrows. After losing most of the guards, Xu Yuanlang's carriage finally broke out of the ambush area, and the elite Chinese guards accompanying Xu Yuanlang lost nearly 1,000 people here.

Seeing that the effect of the ambush was achieved, Qin Qiong ordered the cavalry to get on their horses and rush out, which directly broke Xu Yuanlang's waist, and nearly 30,000 people fled to the exit, and nearly 15,000 were cut off behind. The 15,000 bandits of the rear army had no combat power, and after being pursued and intercepted, they knelt down and asked to surrender. Qin Qiong sent 2,000 cavalry to pursue the fleeing Xu Yuanlang Division, and escorted the surrendered troops back to the Tangjin camp in Mengyin City.

Xu Yuanlang was frightened by this in the car, and almost caused an old injury to vomit blood and die. Fortunately, his personal guards fought for their lives to escape, but when they heard that their rear army was cut off and faced with annihilation, they didn't feel sad. In this battle of Mengyin City, he can be described as a big defeat and a loss, and his vitality is greatly damaged. It seems that it is not a wise move to confront the officials and troops head-on, or should lead the officers and troops to go around in the mountains as he did when he was a bandit in Mount Tai, Xu Yuanlang thought with his eyes closed in the car.
