Soon, Wang Neng learned the news of the fiasco at the Wanfu River crossing, and the remaining 17,000 men and horses under his command also became panicked and moved.

However, in the face of the Yushan Town Guards who had successfully crossed the Wanfu River, Wang Neng's heart was also terrified, knowing that he could not defeat the 8,000 Yushan Town Guards in Liu Juntao's hands with the 17,000 men and horses in his hands!

What's more, at this time, the high ground occupied by Wang Neng's troops was not a dangerous place, and it was impossible for Wang Neng to lead his troops to defend it.

Now there is only one way to go in front of Wang Neng, that is, immediately lead his 17,000 men and horses to retreat, rush to Guting Town to join the 10,000 horses stationed there, and then gather 27,000 men and horses, occupy a town like Guting Town, and maybe there is a glimmer of hope for victory.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, Wang Neng immediately led 17,000 thieves south to Guting Town, and even abandoned some of the baggage in the camp in order to hurry, just to be able to reach Guting Town earlier.

But when Wang Neng led his troops to leave the camp and hit the road, the weather, which was originally still drizzling, turned into a torrential rain in an instant, and even the official road became muddy and rainy.

Seeing this, Wang Neng couldn't help but curse God, seeing that the 17,000 thieves under his command were moved, and many people ignored the order and ran under the trees on both sides of the official road to take shelter from the rain, Wang Neng's heart suddenly cooled.

"In such weather, when will we be able to rush to Guting Town!"

Wang Neng knew that there were 2,000 iron horsemen among the guards of Yushan Town, and if his more than 10,000 people were delayed by the heavy rain, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be caught up by the iron cavalry army of the Yushan Town Guards, and it would be a massacre at that time!

Thinking of this, Wang Neng ordered the whole army to stop advancing, found a forest next to the official road and camped temporarily, and waited until the heavy rain had passed before leaving.

After all, instead of being caught up by the iron cavalry army of Yushan Town when marching in the rain, there will be no chance to fight back at that time, it is better to temporarily set up camp, and even if you are caught up, you can rely on the camp to defend.

It's like choosing between being beaten to death if you don't fight back, or being killed after you fight back, and most people will choose the latter.

It didn't take long for the 17,000 thieves led by Wang Neng to set up a simple camp.

Under Wang Neng's strict orders several times, 17,000 thieves reluctantly dug a circle of trenches around the camp, and then got into their respective tents as they wished.

And the trenches dug by the thieves were also intermittent, and the deepest part was only above the knee, which was very perfunctory.

But Wang Neng can only turn a blind eye when he sees it, and there is no way to ask for anything more, after all, what kind of goods are the men and horses under his command, Wang Neng knows very well in his heart, now that these 17,000 people can hold on to the present, to be honest, they have already played extraordinarily, what else can they do?

In fact, Wang Neng also had a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that now that the rain was pouring down, the Yushan Town guards would not necessarily catch up, and this trench only played a role in psychological comfort.

Wang Neng took a few of his men around the camp, and saw that the arranged sentries were all twisting and persistent, so he didn't say anything more, and after a while, he also got into the tent and seized the time to rest.

Time flew by and soon it became dark, but the rain did not abate in the slightest.

Wang Neng got up and stood at the door of the tent after a short sleep, looked at the heavy rain outside, and secretly said in his heart: "It seems that Shandong and Nanzhili are going to have a big flood again, if there is no Liu Juntao here to stir up the situation, the king and I can use this opportunity to recruit troops and make a comeback!" ”

Thinking of this, Wang Neng's heart was full of hatred, and he wished that God would directly send down a burst of angry thunder and kill Liu Juntao and his Yushan Town guards!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

As soon as Wang Neng thought of this, he suddenly heard a deafening roar outside, which really seemed to be a thunderstorm, constantly exploding in the heavy rain!

Wang Neng looked at the situation outside with some astonishment, only to see the thieves in the surrounding tents poking their heads out, and even many people ran into the heavy rain, looking around to figure out what the sound was just now.

At this moment, there was another roar around the bandit camp, mixed with the sound of wailing.

Hearing this, Wang Neng suddenly woke up and roared loudly: "Yushan Town! Enemy attack! Fight! ”

After speaking, Wang Neng pulled out his sword and rushed into the heavy rain, constantly beckoning the surrounding thieves to follow him to meet the battle.

After a while, hundreds of people gathered around Wang Neng and followed Wang Neng to the north of the camp.

At this time, the thieves camp appeared in all directions of the Yushan Town Guards young and strong, only to see Gao Ran and Zhang Xiaojun each led the headquarters of the young Zhuang to surround it, Zhang Xiaojun led the troops to kill from the east and north, Gao Ran led the troops to kill from the west and south, more than 4,000 Yushan Town guards were young and strong, and they took the initiative to besiege 17,000 thieves!

However, the more than 17,000 thieves under Wang Neng's command could not organize any effective attack, and in the face of the "ambush on all sides" of the Yushan Town guards, they could only fight on their own and run around.

To the east of the bandit camp, the brothers Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu each led a total of more than 400 young men and women, and more than 800 soldiers, rushing and beating all the way.

Under the leadership of Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu, the young men and women put on their bayonets and launched a fierce charge, and the bayonets of the large number of thieves were red and entangled in a bloody battle.

And Zhang Xiaojun personally led the rest of the main army to press up from the north of the thief camp, and the chief knife hand under his command opened the way in front, and a sentry thunder thrower continued to "make up the knife" in the back.

Zhang Xiaojun even commanded the two commanders to disperse, and in the army, they were rampant in the camp of the thieves, firing in the face of the thieves in the distance, and charging with bayonets when they encountered the thieves in the distance.

I saw that the more than 1,000 escorts led by Zhang Xiaojun were very easy to defeat the resistance of more than 3,000 thieves, and even Wang Neng, who was commanding the battle in the rear, fled for his life.

Subsequently, Zhang Xiaojun led more than 1,000 guards under his command to launch a pursuit, and more than 1,000 people chased after thousands of thieves, so that the thieves and soldiers along the way were heartbroken!

At the same time, Gao Ran also sent Chang Hongdao's troops to attack the west of the thief camp, and he led the main force to kill the thief camp from the south, and it didn't take long for him to successfully join Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu's brothers in the middle of the thief camp!

At this time of the battle, the 17,000 thieves under Wang Neng's department already had no way to enter the heavens and the earth, and there was only a dead end waiting for them!

Outside the battlefield, Liu Juntao led the young men of the Central Military Department and the iron cavalry of Zhou Zongsheng's troops to press the formation, ready to support all units to participate in the battle.

But obviously, Liu Juntao's arrangement is a bit redundant, Wang Neng's thieves are not the opponents of the Yushan Town Guards at all, and from the beginning of the war to the present, they are completely in a situation of being slaughtered!

Seeing this, Liu Zi'an said to Liu Juntao: "Mr. Lian, do you think we are sending someone to attack Guting Town?" ”

Liu Juntao also smiled when he heard this, and said: "I just have this intention, just take advantage of the opportunity when Wang Neng's department is surrounded by us, raid Guting Town, and take the passage into Xuzhou first!" ”

Liu Zi'an also nodded, since Liu Juntao had thought of this, there was no need for him to say anything more.

And Zhou Zongsheng next to him hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Lian, I'll take someone to take Guting Town!" ”

Liu Juntao nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" Zhou Qian is always out of the horse, and I am naturally relieved. It's just that there are 10,000 thieves in Naguting Town, if the surprise attack is not successful, don't attack hard, withdraw first and wait for the main army to arrive! ”

Zhou Zongsheng also nodded, and immediately led nearly two thousand iron horsemen to set off, and went straight to Guting Town to kill.

It didn't take long for the battle in the camp of the thieves to end, Wang Neng's 17,000 thieves were wiped out, after a simple inventory, the Yushan Town Guards beheaded more than 14,000 levels, Liu Juntao estimated that there would be no more than 2,000 thieves who fled in the chaos, and this battle can be described as a complete victory!

It's just that after cleaning the battlefield, the escort team Qingzhuang did not find the body of the thief leader Wang Neng, which made Liu Juntao very angry.
