Chapter 218: Encirclement and Reinforcements

Yishui County.

Liu Juntao and Zhang Xiaojun led two escort teams to arrive at the city, and the 10,000 thieves stationed in the city immediately panicked, and they all went to the city to defend it, and at the same time sent people to Wang Neng for help.

Zhang Xiaojun was worried that the news of the escort soldiers coming to the city would leak out, so he prepared to mobilize people to block the main roads in Yishui County to the south of Yinan County, and at the same time suggested that Liu Juntao immediately block the four gates of Yishui County to prevent the thieves in the city from escaping.

But Liu Juntao shook his head and said: "Yishui County is surrounded by our Central Military Department, don't block the news in the city, and let the thieves go to Yinan County to move the rescue troops!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaojun figured it out, and said with a smile: "Lian is always ready to encircle and send reinforcements?" ”

"Exactly!"

Liu Juntao said: "Xiao Army, you go and prepare, and in two days later, lead your troops south, ready to ambush the thieves of Wang Neng's subordinates who have returned to help!" ”

Zhang Xiaojun nodded and said, "Order!" You have to be careful when practicing here! ”

Two days later, Zhang Xiaojun took advantage of the night to lead his troops south, while Liu Juntao led his troops to set up a posture and began to attack the city.

It's just that Liu Juntao led his troops to attack the city was only thunderous and rainy, in addition to making the thieves in Yishui County panic, it was just that they began to consume the thieves' troops, and they didn't really storm the city.

But in the face of Liu Juntao's feint attack by the Central Military Department, the thieves in Yishui County were also a little unable to parry, after all, the thousands of sharp birds in the Central Military Department were not vegetarians, and every feint attack was to beat the city to the ground, and the thieves defending the city could not rise at all.

Only two days later, more than 1,000 thieves in Yishui County were killed and injured, and the remaining more than 8,000 thieves were also in panic, and the entire city defense of Yishui County was almost useless.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaojun also stationed in a hill twenty miles south of Yishui County.

Although the terrain of this hill is gentle, but the trees on the mountain are dense, and the official road that Yishui County and Yinan County only see passes through the middle of the hill, and the official road is full of peaks and cliffs on both sides, which can be described as a natural ambush field.

This time, Zhang Xiaojun divided the four chief bird men under his command into two teams, and ambushed them in the peaks on both sides of the official road, preparing to shoot the thieves and horses condescendingly; At the same time, all the miners were deployed at the entrance of the hill, preparing to block the entrance with earth-shattering thunder, so that the army of thieves could not retreat and escape.

In the end, Zhang Xiaojun personally led a sentry horse team and a chief swordsman to guard the exit of the hill, preparing to gather and annihilate the thieves of Wang Neng's department in this nameless hill!

Only a day later, the detective horse of the Investigation Department came with the news that the thief leader Wang Neng had led the thief army to withdraw from Yinan County and went north, with a strength of about 40,000 people, and it was less than a day's journey from the ambush site.

"Where are the people of Zhou Qian's headquarters now?"

"Qi Qi Zhang Qian, Zhou Qian is leading the department to follow!"

"Good!"

Zhang Xiaojun was relieved, and ordered his men and horses to prepare for battle.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Neng led an army of more than 40,000 thieves to this hill, perhaps worried about the loss of Yishui County, Wang Neng can be said to be like an arrow, and did not send the outpost to explore the road in advance, and led the army directly into the hill.

At this time, Wang Neng's army of 40,000 thieves was winding forward on the official road in the hill, seeing that the forward men and horses were about to walk out of the hill, and the follow-up men and horses of the thief brigade had just stepped into the hill.

Suddenly, a trumpet cannon sounded in the hill, and the four 1,700 bird gunners who were lying in ambush on both sides of the official road fired a salvo at the same time, and the fierce fire immediately swept across the entire hill, killing and wounding countless thieves and bandits marching on the official road.

I saw that the birds on both sides of the official road took turns shooting, and the fire continued, like a hurricane, constantly raging in the hills.

And Wang Neng's thieves have no archers and firecrackers at all, so they can only be beaten passively, and they have no power to fight back.

"Withdraw! Withdraw it! ”

At this time, the rear team of thieves shouted loudly and ran towards the entrance of the hill, as if the tide had found a place to vent, and was about to pour down.

Suddenly, more than 80 mine-throwers rushed out from the side of the official road, and hundreds of earth-shattering thunderbolts smashed down in an instant, and one after another violent explosions sounded at the entrance of the hill, blowing up the thousands of thieves who came in, and at the same time completely blocking the entrance of the hill.

Seeing that thousands of thieves were crowded together at the entrance of the hill, this sentry mine-thrower saw the fighter plane, and threw earth-shattering thunder towards the crowded place, like cutting wheat, constantly reaping the lives of the thieves.

At this time, Wang Neng also noticed that there were constantly violent explosions at the entrance of the hill, and understood that it must be the Yushan Town guards who blocked the entrance with earth-shattering thunder, so he shouted: "Forward!" Rush out! ”

Tens of thousands of thieves also tried their best at this time, and under the leadership of Wang Neng, they braved the fierce blows of the Yushan Town guards and rushed towards the exit of the hill.

However, this hill is two miles long, and when Wang Neng led the remnants to rush to the exit of the hill, the 1,700 birds on both sides of the official road took turns firing, and those thieves fell down one after another, and at least six of the ten thieves were shot!

By the time Wang Neng led his troops to the exit of the hill, there were only more than 10,000 thieves left!

But before Wang Neng could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw the men and horses of the Yushan Town Escort Team appear in front of him again, and it was a horse team!

More than 80 riders from a sentry group rushed directly into the thief brigade, killing in the crowd.

Although the number of horses was small, it also made the thieves and horses who were like frightened birds scatter on the spot, and they didn't dare to resist at all.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaojun also led a long knife hand to kill in formation, crushing all the way along the official road, and the long knife in the hands of the young men was like the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty, advancing into the wall, hacking to death the thieves who had no armor to defend themselves, which exacerbated the rout of the thief brigade!

Seeing this, Wang Neng also broke his heart and gall, and at this time he had no courage to resist, so he directly gave up the scattered people and horses around him, and just rushed from the side of the battlefield with the thousands of remnants of the soldiers who could still be mobilized around him, and miraculously rushed out and fled for his life along the official road.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojun did not chase after him, after all, his own troops were limited, so he could only concentrate his forces to encircle and suppress the thieves and horses in the mountain hill first.

It is said that Wang Neng led thousands of remnants of soldiers all the way to the north, and on the way, those thieves who were not physically strong and fell behind, Wang Neng couldn't take care of them at this time, and they all gave up.

Wang Neng knew that there were already men and horses of the Yushan Town Guards in Yishui County besieging them, and he didn't dare to throw himself into the net again, and the 10,000 horses in Yishui County could only watch as they were wiped out by the Yushan Town Guards.

At this time, Wang Neng took thousands of remnants of soldiers directly around Yishui County and fled straight towards Mengyin County.

The thieves were like frightened birds, and they didn't dare to march on the official road halfway, so they fled into the wilderness and mountains, and finally escaped back to Mengyin County.

When Wang Neng entered the county seat of Mengyin County in despair, there were only more than 3,000 remnants left around him, and the remaining remnants were all lost on the way.

At the same time, Liu Juntao received the news of Zhang Xiaojun's great victory, when even if the army led the army to storm the county seat of Yishui County, it only took an hour for the young and strong of the Central Military Department to rush into the city of Yishui County, and the 10,000 thieves in the city were all wiped out.

Two days later, Liu Juntao urgently ordered Zhang Xiao's military department, Zhou Zongsheng's department, and baggage department to immediately rush to Yishui County to assemble and prepare to march into Mengyin County.
