Mengyin County, county government.

Ye Zongliu sat on the lobby with a gloomy face, looked at Wang Neng, who was kneeling in front of him in despair, and said, "Sixty thousand troops, a few days of hard work will be defeated like a mountain?" How this battle was fought! ”

Wang Neng said in frustration: "The king forgives the sins, it is really that the Yushan Town guards are too strong, then Liu Juntao is scheming, and the brothers are also defeated in battle!" ”

"Defeated?"

Ye Zongliu also smiled angrily and said, "Hmph! What a rhetoric. ”

"The last general is not doing well, please punish the king!"

Ye Zongliu looked at Wang Neng and wanted to rush up and kick him, but he also knew that Wang Neng was his only general, and he would count on him to use it for his own use in the future, so he said in a deep voice: "Okay! The Yushan Town Escort is indeed too strong, and the defeat is understandable, get up and speak! ”

Only then did Wang Neng stand up stupidly and said, "Great King! Now that the Yushan Town Guards are coming, we have to be fully prepared! ”

Ye Zongliu said: "Of course I have to be fully prepared! Luckily, I've expanded my number of people to 110,000 during this time, otherwise it would have been a real problem! ”

Wang Neng could only smile bitterly in his heart when he heard this.

What is Ye Zongliu's expanded men and horses, Wang Neng has also seen it after he came back, Ye Zongliu has already incorporated all the old people from fifty or sixty years old to eleven or twelve years old in Mengyin County into the army, and even recruited a large number of strong women to fill the number!

How could such a man be an opponent of the elite Yushan Town Guard?

Although Wang Neng was very disdainful of such an "army" in his heart, he didn't dare to have any expression on his face, and he also knew that Ye Zongliu was also helpless, after all, now the manpower of Mengyin County had been used to the limit.

"King, how are we going to fight this battle?"

Ye Zongliu glared at Wang Neng, and said secretly in his heart: "If you hadn't buried 60,000 troops in the first battle, I would have a good chance of winning this battle!" But it's hard to say now, I can't stay in this Mengyin County! ”

However, Ye Zongliu also understood that Wang Neng had done his best, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "I am ready to defend the city to the death. The guards of Yushan Town have sharp firearms, and we are not opponents, so we can only fight against them with the help of Jiancheng. ”

Wang Neng sighed and said: "For the sake of today's plan, it can only be like this, but I am worried that if it is delayed for a long time, the officers and troops will regroup their troops and horses to surround it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ye Zongliu suddenly shouted: "Then I will lead my troops to the sea again and run away from the sea route!" I don't believe it, the world is so big, there is no place for me Ye Zong to live and live! ”

The next day, Liu Juntao, Zhang Xiaojun, and Zhou Zongsheng led more than 5,000 Yushan Town guards to Mengyin County and set up camp on a high ground six miles south of the county seat of Mengyin County.

On the same day, Liu Juntao sent Zhou Zongsheng to lead the cavalry to attack, galloping around the county seat of Mengyin County, and defeating the thieves and horses outside the city one by one.

Seeing this, Ye Zongliu was furious, and seeing that the cavalry of Zhou Zongsheng's department was small, he ordered Wang Neng to lead an army of 20,000 out of the city to meet the battle.

But when Wang Neng led his troops out of the city, Zhou Zongsheng had already led his troops to run far away and left.

After returning to Daying, Zhou Zongsheng reported the situation in Mengyin County, especially mentioning that Ye Zongliu had emptied all the villages and towns around Mengyin County, and it seemed that he was preparing to defend the city.

Liu Juntao also had some difficulties when he heard this, although the guards of Yushan Town had sharp firearms, they lacked artillery and other siege weapons, and in the face of more than 100,000 thieves defending the city, it was still very difficult for more than 5,000 guards to attack.

So, Liu Juntao asked Liu Zi'an to get in touch with the Qingzhou Mansion immediately, and sent someone to send a handwritten letter, asking the Qingzhou Mansion to immediately send troops to support, at least some siege weapons.

Liu Zi'an also personally arranged for his subordinates to hurry up.

On the same day, Liu Juntao ordered the Yushan Town Guards to hold the camp, and did not rush to attack the city, but just asked Zhou Zongsheng not to lead his troops to attack, and not let Ye Zong's remaining thieves abandon the city.

In this way, the two sides confronted each other for three days.

On this day, Zhou Zongsheng led his troops back from the attack and reported to Liu Juntaoyu: "Mr. Lian, there is a lot of noise in Mengyin County today, and the thieves seem to be mobilizing soldiers and horses, so does Ye Zongliu want to escape?" ”

Liu Juntao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "That's not right! Ye Zongliu now has more than 100,000 troops, occupying Mengyin County, and has the capital to give it a go, how can he withdraw? ”

As he was talking, Liu Juntao suddenly smiled and said to Zhou Zongsheng and Zhang Xiaojun: "If I guess correctly, we will have guests in the camp tonight!" ”

That night, the camp of the Yushan Town Guards was silent, only the light and dark sentry posts were still patrolling, and the entire area around the camp was also quiet, as if there were no living creatures within a radius.

Suddenly, there was a crowd of people in the north of the camp, apparently a large group of men and horses were marching.

Immediately afterwards, countless torches were lit on the north side of the camp in Yushan Town, and the dark night was instantly illuminated as day.

The leading thief general was Wang Neng, and at this time, Wang Neng was overjoyed when he saw that the 30,000 troops under his command had successfully approached the camp of the Yushan Town Guards.

"Rush in! Break through the camp of Yushan Town, and everyone will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! Kill! ”

Wang Neng roared loudly, leading an army of 30,000 thieves to rush up, and the dense thieves rushed to the camp of Yushan Town with a roar like evil ghosts emerging from the night.

Seeing this, the guards who were patrolling also hurriedly withdrew to the inside of the camp, and no one dared to open fire to meet them, which further boosted the morale of the thieves, thinking that the Yushan Town guards were attacked by their own side, and they no longer had the courage to resist.

After a while, Wang Neng led an army of 30,000 to break through the camp of Yushan Town, and all the thieves poured into the camp like a flood that burst the embankment, rushing to every tent, ready to kill.

However, the thieves were horrified to find that all the tents in the camp were empty, and even those light and dark sentry posts were many scarecrows!

Seeing this, Wang Neng suddenly broke his heart and gall, and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw!" Evacuate! ”

Before the words fell, I saw countless fires burning inside the camp in Yushan Town, reflecting the entire camp as if it were day, and more than 2,000 young people from the Central Military Department under Liu Juntao and his command also appeared, and they were already lined up and ready to fight!

"Fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Second row! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

With Liu Juntao's order, the four chief bird gunners fired one after another, and the 30,000 thieves who rushed into the camp were longing and dense at this time, all of them were like targets, and they were shot by the bird gunners of the Yushan Town Guards, and there was nowhere to dodge!

"Run!"

Wang Neng didn't care much, and hurriedly fled with the people and horses around him, and the thieves around him also followed one after another, and they didn't have the courage to charge against the dense lead bullets.

All of a sudden, the army of 30,000 thieves and thieves were chaotic and trampled on each other, coupled with the shooting and killing of the military headquarters in the Yushan Town Escort Team, in just a stick of incense, thousands of corpses had been dropped in the Yushan Town camp!

Wang Neng finally led the remnants of the army to escape from the camp of Yushan Town, seeing that Liu Juntao did not lead his troops to pursue, he was just relieved, and suddenly countless torches appeared in front of the thieves, and a Yushan Town escort team had already been waiting here, blocking the official road between the camp of Yushan Town and Mengyin County, just stopping Wang Neng's troops head-on.

"Fire!"

Zhang Xiaojun roared angrily, and the brothers Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu immediately commanded the big horizontal formation to start shooting, and immediately swept down a large area of the thieves who were fleeing for their lives.

"Liu Juntao!"

Wang Neng roared hoarsely, and was about to rush up to fight with the Yushan Town Guard, but was stopped by his subordinates.

"Wang Shuai! Only by living can you take revenge! ”

"Wang Shuai, let's stop them!"

Wang Neng stared at the Yushan Town guards who were firing in the distance, turned around and left with a roar, and fled for his life towards the east, the surrounding thieves and soldiers were also close behind, no one fought at all, everyone had only one thought in their hearts, that is, run quickly, I want to live!
