Chapter Seventy-Three: The Green Forest Uprising [3]

As the executor of the Jingzhou disaster, Pang Meng has been silently observing the development direction of the situation in the dark. In the past, this kind of large-scale strategic action was the responsibility of the commander Wang Sunqing or the lord Liu Xiu, but now it is his turn, and he has a deep understanding of what pressure is and what is a long way to go!

"Pang Ye, there is news that the old people of Youjiao Township in Xinshi, Jiangxia County, have done evil, forcing the local people to become cowards."

"Is it finally going to start?" Pang Meng said it lightly, but his face was slightly nervous. The Wang brothers are the first seedlings that sprouted in troubled times, and if it can thrive, it will cause many seedlings to sprout, but if it is strangled in the cradle, then everything will come to naught.

Between the country lanes, a heavily armed county soldier marched towards the green forest mountain, the county lieutenant rode a bantam horse, and the two village elders rode a donkey to laugh with the whole process.

The county lieutenant enjoyed the feeling of being touted, fluttering and beautiful.

"My lord, there is Green Forest Mountain in front of you, do you need to send scouts over to investigate first?"

"Why should you be so cautious when a few people are making trouble, and watch me lead the army in and take their heads."

There are not only the Wang brothers and their party in the green forest and mountains, Pang Meng has long taken his robe into the mountain to escort them. As soon as the county lieutenant and the county soldiers were about to enter the mountain, they saw the men and horses who had been heavily armed pour out, killing them and crushing them instantly.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! The county lieutenant shouted and slammed the bantam desperately, trying to quickly escape from the battlefield, but the tripping rope had already been buried in front of him, and the county lieutenant fell dizzy in a blink of an eye, and when he came to his senses, he had already been stabbed in the neck, and blood gushed out.

"Surrender, I surrender, I don't want to die." The death of the county lieutenant greatly stimulated a certain county soldier, he immediately threw away his weapon and knelt on the ground and raised his hand, and the other county soldiers saw that surrender could really avoid death, so they chose to surrender in an instant.

For others, the more people, the better it is, but Pang Meng is different, what he wants is momentum, leaving this group of soldiers is far better than letting them go back to the city to promote Lulin Mountain for themselves, and the soldiers who returned to the city did not disappoint Pang Meng, under their public opinion, Lulin Mountain became popular in Jiangxia County.

The county government presented the incident to the county government, and the Jiangxia county guard denounced the incompetence of the county order, and ordered the soldier Cao Pengshi to lead the troops to quell the chaos, but the Jiangxia county guard never dreamed that his mediocre order would make the entire Jiangxia County into a pot of porridge.

Bing Cao Pengshi looked for Cangcao Pengshi many times, but the grain and grass he wanted to come were not enough to even go back and forth, let alone quell the chaos.

"Brother, I've done my best, you might as well collect food all the way."

"Alas!" Bing Cao Pengshi sighed, and could only grit his teeth.

The life of the people itself is hard, where there is still surplus grain to hand in, the soldier Cao Pengshi can still be reasonable at first, and then see that the grain and grass are getting less and less can only be ruthless, every place requires the people to hand over half of the food at home, and then causes the villagers in Jingling and Xiyang to angrily scold the soldiers Cao Pengshi for bringing disaster to the country and the people.

The little villager dared to roar at himself in front of the army, and the soldier Cao Pengshi felt that his majesty had been provoked, and ordered the county soldiers to hang them up and beat them severely.

Those who can become village elders are local elders with high moral integrity, and the soldier Cao Pengshi treats them like this, which will naturally arouse public resentment, and many young and middle-aged people come forward to argue with the county soldiers. These stupid people thought that as long as they were united, they could help the villagers avoid punishment, but who knew that they were slaughtered on the charge of rebellion, and only one of the people in the two places was named Ma Wu, who stood out from the siege.

Whether the villagers in Jingling and Xiyang died due to rebellion, the villagers in the nearby areas all knew that they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and in order to avoid suffering the same catastrophe, they took the initiative to raise and offer the grain and grass in the township, so that the people in the township were full of grievances.

The crusade army of Jiangxia County has more than 5,000 people, while the robe led by Pang Meng is only 500, and if the number of people is so big, if you choose to defend the city, it will be the jade and the stone will be burned. Pang Meng chose to take the initiative to attack, break the whole into parts, and use the advantages of the mountains and forests to trap and kill the officers and soldiers as much as possible, so as to tilt the balance of victory to his side.

After making so many painstaking and sleepless preparations, as soon as the two sides started fighting, Pang Meng found that he was thinking too much, and the ability of the soldier Cao Pengshi to lead the troops can be described as a compliment in four words, and this goods will only shout slogans and fight for many people.

As a general who leads the troops to fight, Pang Meng still spurs himself to stay calm, and always analyzes whether this is intentional by the enemy, in order to take himself lightly, and then be caught off guard.

Suppress the demons, suppress the demons, but when it was really sure that the other party was a pig, Pang Meng went violently, and he was simply angry. He felt ashamed every time he thought of his painstaking and sleepless planning and digging traps for an opponent like a pig.

"Attack the whole army and kill them." The ten squads that had been ambushing directly launched a general attack after receiving Pang Meng's order.

There are a lot of sharp arrows flying in the air, and there are many strong men on the ground who hit the county soldiers with shields and kill them, and the soldiers Cao Pengshi are full of screams, wails, and begging for mercy, and he can't calm down to judge how many enemies there are, anyway, he feels that the mountains are full of enemies, and he must run, otherwise it will be over.

The soldiers Cao Pengshi took the lead in escaping, how could the county soldiers kill the enemy bravely, and ran away one by one, and even a few people even overtook him.

"Anyone can run, but you pig must die!" Pang Meng untied the strong bow on his body and pulled it into a full moon, and listened to the sound of the bowstring and screams sounding one after another, and the soldier Cao Pengshi had fallen to the ground and died, but Pang Meng couldn't understand his anger, and rushed forward to slash the soldier Cao Pengshi one after another.

About a quarter of an hour later, Pao Ze saw that Pang Meng was angry enough, and asked what to do in the future, Pang Meng directly ordered the withdrawal of the army back to the valley, in the days to come, if the Wang brothers can't even pack up this kind of goods, it's useless not to die.

The rout of the county soldiers further demonstrated the strength of the Green Forest Army. For the people of Jiangxia County, Lvlin Mountain is the territory of the Wang brothers, so the feat of slaughtering the county soldiers after killing the county soldiers is naturally also what they did.

The Wang brothers were messy in the wind at this time, their faces were full of bitterness, they really couldn't figure it out, they obviously didn't do anything, why the folk were all their legends.

Green forest anti-thief, green forest giant, green forest hero, green forest hero, this synonym has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and many people who can't live have gone to the mountains to join the Wang brothers. In just a few months, the number of people has expanded from a few hundred to seven or eight thousand, among which there are several people with superb martial arts, named Wang Chang, Ma Wu, Cheng Dan, Su Mao, and Zhang Wei.
