Hu Yanzhuo's casualties were quickly counted, including Meng Feng, a total of 310 people were killed, 120 were seriously injured, 50 were lightly injured, only 30 people were lucky enough to escape unscathed, and less than 100 horses were left after the 500 horses were dead and injured and could no longer run, and the entire horse army was basically wasted.

According to the on-site investigation, the secret of how the Liangshan bandits passed through the deep ditch unharmed, and how they hid the ambush soldiers on the grassland also surfaced.

It turned out that after cleaning up the corpses in the deep ditch, everyone found a lot of large wooden planks at the bottom of the ditch, the length just coincided with the width of the deep ditch, and at the same time found several holes on the bottom side of the deep ditch, from which you can drill out of the ground more than a dozen steps away from the hole, from which it can be basically inferred that it must be the Liangshan thief Kou who has dug the deep ditch and the hole here, and sent people to hide in the ditch to support the plank, when the Liangshan people ride through, they can step on the plank to pass through the deep ditch, but when the horse army of the official army comes, Those people will suddenly remove the planks and quickly escape from the deep ditch through the hole at the bottom!

Similarly, in the place where the Liangshan ambush appeared just now, it was found that a large pit had already been dug out of the ground, and the pit was covered with horseshoe prints and human footprints.

When he understood what was going on, Hu Yan's repentant intestines were blue, these two big pits, one was a trap used to kill people, and the other was used to hide soldiers to ambush, all of which fully showed that this operation was a carefully arranged operation by Liang Shanbo, and the purpose was to destroy the Ma army! But he let Gao Lian blindly command, and as a result, he buried Meng Feng and the horse army that he regarded as a treasure in vain!

The hateful Liangshan bandits, and even more hateful Gaolian!

At the moment of the war, there was no time to fully bury these fallen soldiers, Hu Yanzhuo could only lead the remaining 1,000 Runing Army infantry soldiers, and silently performed a military salute on the more than 300 bodies of Meng Feng and other bodies that had been placed on the ground, leaving dozens of lightly wounded people to take care of these remains, in case they were eaten by wild beasts, and only waited for them to have a decent funeral after the war was over.

After doing everything, it had been more than half an hour, and Hu Yanzhuo led the Runing army to rejoin the impatient Gao Lian and other troops who had been waiting for a long time, and continued to march in the direction of Liangshanbo.

Hu Yanzhuo led the Runing Army to still act as the vanguard at the forefront, he was silent, because he knew that he had no need to discuss the military situation with Gao Lian and those wastes who had more than enough to do things, from now on, he would become tough, even if he was charged with disobeying military orders, he must act in the way he thinks is right!

On the city tower of Yuncheng County, Shi Wenbin carefully hid behind the city wall and looked at the Liangshan thieves outside, his eyes were full of doubts, it turned out that the Liangshan thieves had stopped and continued to bombard the city wall with a stone-throwing truck, and at this moment they were standing in line outside the city gate, as if they were waiting for something.

Why haven't they attacked yet? Shi Wenbin took a closer look and found the reason, it turned out that there were no stones in the stone throwing car, and of course the stone throwing car was useless without stones, Shi Wenbin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly said that his luck was not so bad, Yuncheng County is located in the plain, there are few huge stones, and the nearest quarry from here is also seven or eight miles away, these Liangshan thieves must have sent people there to transport big stones,

Although it will be a wild bombardment after they bring back the big stones, but this is fine, this is equivalent to buying themselves a little time, now I just hope that the movements of these thieves can be slower, and the speed of Lei Heng to notify the bandit coalition army can also be faster......

And at the Tiandao Army, Deng Yuanjue, Lin Chong and others were discussing how to attack the city, and suddenly saw a ride coming from a distance, and this horse came to Deng Yuanjue and others and immediately hugged his fists, "Commander Qiyu, just now a few officials went out of the city from the west gate, and rode fast horses to the south, one of the brothers is recognized, it is the head of Yuncheng County!" ”

Deng Yuanjue, Lin Chong and the others looked at each other and laughed, and finally waited for them to act!

Deng Yuanjue immediately gave an order, "Send a message to the big leader, and then send a signal to the brothers in the city, and the whole regiment is ready to attack the city at any time!" ”

Soon, a pigeon rose from the army and flew straight to the south, and a sergeant of the Heavenly Dao Army also loaded a ringing arrow on a broken soul, and then lifted it to shoot it into the sky above Yuncheng County in an instant, and the arrow made a piercing sound and flew straight into the air!

In Yuncheng County, in a large family near the East City Gate, a man suddenly rushed to the backyard from outside, pushed open a large room, and hugged his fist to a person in the house, "Company Commander Wang, I received a signal from outside!" ”

Wang Shi nodded, stood up and picked up the big knife placed on the table, "Action!" ”

"Yes!" The man went out of the house, and when he came outside, he heard him whistle, and in an instant, a total of nearly a hundred strong men rushed out of the various rooms of the compound, all of them were dressed in civilian clothes, but they were all carrying large knives, and the excited expressions on their faces showed the fighting spirit they had been holding back for a long time.

Wang Shi strode out of the house with a knife, but when he came to the door, he stopped, only to see him turn his head towards a corner of the house and smile, "Thank you Shopkeeper Sun for your care for the past five days, if Lao Tzu can come back alive today, I will definitely give you all the food and accommodation money." ”

After that, Wang Shi laughed and went out of the house,

The house soon fell silent, and the real owner of the house, Sun Fu, who was also the proprietor of Sun Kee Grain Store in the city, and his wife and son were huddled in the corner tremblingly, lest the robbers who had suddenly broken into their house five days ago and imprisoned their whole family return to .......

After being ambushed last time, Hu Yanzhuo raised his vigilance and sent several scouts to explore the road in front in turn, and took a cautious attitude towards all suspicious phenomena encountered on the road, striving to be foolproof!

Although the speed of the army's march was much slower, Gao Lian, who was following behind, knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to provoke Hu Yanzhuo's blind command anymore, so he could only follow patiently.

Fortunately, the remaining ten miles of the road were normal, and I didn't see even a single Liangshan thief's shadow, and the army also came to Liangshan Bo smoothly, but stopped before going up the mountain, it turned out that here, the road up the mountain forked,

Gao Lian gathered Hu Yanzhuo and several state army commanders together to discuss how to go up the mountain.

Someone asked Liu Ting where the first two roads lead, Liu Ting pointed to the map and said that the first two roads can lead to the camp of the Liangshan bandits, but one road is a big road, leading to the three passes in front of the mountain and the golden sand beach in Liangshanbo. One of the roads is a small road, which leads directly up the mountain to Sanguan on the side of the mountain.

This time, before Gao Lian gave an order, Hu Yanzhuo had already asked Liu Ting, "Which of these two roads is more dangerous?" The level at the end of the road is also more difficult to attack? ”

Liu Ting replied, "If you talk about danger, of course, it is a small road, the three passes on the side of the mountain are built on the rugged mountain road, and the passage is also extremely narrow, it is not easy to climb up normally, let alone to tackle key problems. ”

Hu Yanzhuo pondered for a moment and then said to Gao Lian, "Boss, I am willing to lead my troops to attack the small road, so that the thieves will be exposed to the enemy, and at the same time, beware of the thieves escaping from the small road!" Although the path is difficult to attack, Hu Yanzhuo has already broken away from Gao Lian's control, and he has made up his mind that instead of being blindly commanded by Gao Lian and suffering losses in vain, it is better to lead his soldiers to take the initiative to pick a hard bone and gnaw it!

He also said this to Gao Lian's heart, Gao Lian was also worried that the Liangshan thieves would escape from the path and take away the millions of money, at the same time, he let Hu Yanzhuo and the Runing Army suffer such a big loss, and he also felt that the Runing Army was dissatisfied with him, and he also wanted to get Hu Yanzhuo and the Runing Army away, and they still took the initiative to ask to attack the most difficult path, which was also quite in line with Gao Lian's appetite,

However, Gao Lian is still a little worried, he is not worried about the safety of Hu Yanzhuo and others, but he is not worried that if Hu Yanzhuo can really attack Liangshan from the small road, wouldn't that million yuan of money be ......!

"General Huyan took the initiative to take on this important responsibility, and the commander is very pleased!" Gao Lian said, "But the path is too difficult to attack, and the commander doesn't want the Runing army to be in danger alone, so let's do it, the commander will send five hundred people from my department to help the general!" ”

After saying that, Gao Lian turned to a crony named Pan Chengmei and said, "General Pan, you take five hundred people to follow General Huyan, if the Runing army is in trouble, you must save them!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help sneering in his heart when he heard this, and secretly said that if I was in trouble, he would save me, didn't this mean that they wouldn't listen to my command at all, they just followed behind my ass, and it was clear that they were spying on me!

However, being able to get out of Gao Lian's control has achieved its goal, and one of his little cronies is not afraid!

Hu Yanzhuo then nodded and said, "Then thank you to the boss." ”

And Pan Chengmei, as Gao Lian's cronies, also guessed Gao Lian's plan, and immediately said to Gao Lian with deep meaning in her eyes, "Please rest assured, the boss will do his best to help General Huyan!" ”

Gao Lian relaxed a little,

Immediately afterwards, the coalition army of the bandits officially divided into two roads at the fork, one was Hu Yanzhuo led the 1,000 Runing Army and Pan Chengmei led the 500 Gao Tang Army to the small road, and the other was Gao Lian led the 7,000 army to the main road.
