Just when Liu Zhengfeng made up his mind to charge in the end, Meng Jiashan on the mountain said to his father Meng Qing: "Father, it seems that the thieves are going to fight hard this time, they have already rushed three times, each time more ruthless, if it weren't for the fact that there are more of us, maybe we really got these mud legs!" ”

"Trapped beasts are still fighting! The rabbits are anxious and bite, this time they were copied by us, and it was difficult to fly with their wings. I hope the back team can come over soon! The order was given to the rear team to speed up, and they must arrive within an hour, otherwise, military law will be engaged! One of his heralds received the order and hurried down the mountain.

After Meng Qing finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the movement under the mountain, and secretly called it a fluke in his heart, if he was a few pillars of incense late, he was afraid that Liu Zhengfeng and the others would slip away in his fingers again! In the two days of rapid marching, there were originally nearly 2,000 men and horses, but now hundreds of them have fallen behind because of fatigue. The thief army under the mountain is fine, Meng Qing can see it in general, the two sides are almost the same, as long as their own rear opponents arrive, they don't need the cooperation of other troops, and they can eat the thieves under the mountain with their own strength alone.

The last time the rear team came to report, it was still about an hour away from here, and now a few pillars of incense have passed, and the team should not be far away after counting the time. Meng Qing looked back behind him, the shadows of the mountains were heavy, the mountains and forests were lush, and there were still no half figures, and then looked at the front of him, the surrounding soldiers had fought hard three times, and they were tired and sat on the ground to rest, and some wounded soldiers and corpses were being carried to the back one by one.

Meng's is a big household in the northwest of Yidu Road, there are acres of mountains and forests, Yidu Road is full of thieves, the impact on the Meng family is the most obvious, the official army is powerless to suppress bandits, Meng Qingcai enthusiastically responded to the edict of the Yuan Court, scattered the family to recruit volunteers, and has fought with the people and thieves from all walks of life within the jurisdiction of Yidu Road, and it has been more than two years. Yu Hai, the most powerful rebel, roamed everywhere in the west and north of Yidu Road, burning, killing and plundering countless local squires, ignorant people joined one after another, and their own farms and harvests were also greatly damaged. After repeated attacks, the official army and the righteous army were injured many times, but fortunately, this time it was finally successful, and it was really blessed by the ancestors!

It's just the final blow!

When the world was in turmoil, heroes from all over the country gathered to rise, and the local gentry also recruited rebels to assist the Yuan court officials and troops to suppress bandits, such as Shenqiu Chahan Timur in Yingzhou, Henan Province and Li Siqi in Luoshan, Henan Province in the twelfth year of Zhizheng jointly raised troops to attack Luoshan, and finally the two gradually became stronger, and gradually became the strongest local warlords in the north. At this time, they are still in a period of rapid development of strength, and they have not yet crossed paths with Yu Zhilong.

Meng Qingzheng was waiting hopefully, and there was a faint sound of killing in the distance behind the mountain, and the sound of killing became louder and louder, and the person standing on the mountain could be heard clearly. Meng Jiashan was uncertain and hurried over to ask for instructions. "Father, the sound of killing coming from the back mountain is really unexpected, and the rear team of our army should be almost here at this time. Could it be an accident? Shall I bring some people over to see it? ”

"Where are the other soldiers and horses here? Is it not our army killing each other? It's ridiculous! Meng Qing was inexplicable for a while, the guide and scouts had already explained that there were only some mountain villages here, there were no soldiers and horses at all, and there were some bandits and grass robbers in the distance, all of which were far away, but their strength was too small, and it was impossible to provoke the officials and soldiers, and they would only rob the villagers, but it was really strange why these fighting sounds came.

If there is a change in your back team, it will be bad! The situation was unknown, and Meng Qing was not worried that his son would go in person, so he sent his own soldiers to investigate immediately. The righteous soldiers on the mountain all heard the sound of killing in the distance, and they didn't know why, but the sound of fighting from the back road was always not good.

The sound of fighting crossed the mountain and reached the bottom of the mountain, and the sound was much quieter. Liu Zhengfeng is still trying to explain the benefits and disadvantages to the various leaders, strive for the leaders to cheer up, organize their subordinates, form formations, and strive for the last charge, and must take the opposite hill in one fell swoop and create a way out for all the personnel. At this time, they suddenly heard a faint shout of killing from behind the mountain, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, what tricks did Meng Lao Thief play?

It is said that Meng Lao Thief has firmly occupied the mountain, the soldiers and horses on both sides are almost the same, he is fighting to survive, and the will to fight is much higher than that of the other party, Meng Lao Thief is occupying the geographical advantage, waiting for work, just to delay time, what is the significance of the sudden movement behind the mountain at this time?

Liu Zhengfeng groaned slightly, turned to the two small leaders beside him and said: "The other party has a favorable geographical location and a lot of people, if you only attack from the face, it will be quite difficult to win." The two of you led your men to quietly bypass from both sides, looking for a gap to go up the mountain, and when I attack head-on, the old thief will concentrate all his strength on defense, and neglect the flank, you can take the opportunity to cover behind the flank, mess with its defense, and then great things can be done! Give you half an hour, and go quickly! The two took the order and left.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Liu Zhengfeng had made up his mind, and the leaders of each family put away their thoughts.

Everyone went back to form a team and urged their brothers to work hard. Liu Zhengfeng arranged for the old and weak women and children in the rear team, if they succeeded in charging, they should take the opportunity to cross the mountain, and at the same time let the men who could fight in the rear team come forward.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Yu Lan carried a sword and took some sisters who also wanted to join the charging formation, Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly stopped her and said, "Big niece, what are you doing!" Men's affairs are up to the man, and it's serious for you to go back and take care of your mother! ”

"Uncle Liu, now at this time, one more person will give you more strength! Although I am a woman, I have also been on the battlefield and killed officials and soldiers, and I have not done it when my father was alive before, Uncle Liu, don't worry, I will be careful. Yu Lan was dressed in a strong suit, standing in the team, and she looked even more heroic. Several young women, also holding knives and guns, followed closely behind Yu Lan.

With these women standing in the array ready to charge, some of the soldiers who were cowering looked at each other, and suddenly felt ashamed, even a few leaders who wanted to flee over the mountain also blushed a little.

"You girl's family, you must be careful, the sword and gun are not long-sighted, and you can only go up after I lead the people to charge to the mountain range and contact the enemy!" Liu Zhengfeng repeatedly told him, and whispered to the leader Wan Jinhai to protect Yu Lan and a few other women as much as possible, so he rushed to the front team and stood with Yu Shichang with confidence.

Liu Zhengfeng and Yu Shichang will serve as the first wave of charge, while Wan Jinhai and others will serve as the third echelon. As for the leaders Xia Houen and Liu Qi, they are the second echelon.

In the first three charges, although Yu Shichang was lucky not to suffer any major injuries, there were still some small wounds such as abrasions on his face and body, and several rapid mountain climbs in a row consumed too much of his physical strength, and the clothes on his back were almost soaked with sweat. By this time he had rested for a while, and his breath had calmed down. Seeing Liu Zhengfeng coming, he just nodded and didn't say a word, at this time, Yu Shichang's mind was on Meng Qing on the mountain.

If you don't kill this thief, you swear not to be a man!

Liu Zhengfeng patted Yu Shichang on the shoulder, nodded heavily, and continued to check the preparations of the first wave of stormtroopers.

When Liu Zhengfeng personally arranged the formations of the charging troops and checked the preparations, the leaders of each team were cheering up their subordinates, and took advantage of the pre-war mobilization to let the soldiers take a temporary respite and calm down the decadence of being knocked down the mountain several times just now.

On the mountain, Meng's father and son anxiously waited for the report of their own soldiers, and even urged their subordinates to hurry up to repair the defensive position, and the mood of collecting stones became lighter. Now Liu Zhengfeng is obviously concentrating all his strength to make a last fight, and the strength of his side is not particularly rich, and he really doesn't dare to easily mobilize his soldiers without knowing what the rear is. The soldiers slowly repaired their positions, while keeping their ears open or their eyes wide open to observe the movement behind them.

Finally, the soldier sent to reconnoiter hurriedly rode back to the foot of the mountain, jumped off the war horse with another leap, and climbed up with the back foot to the front foot, seeing its panicked movements, Meng Qing's mind was suddenly confused.

"Newspaper, newspaper, adult, adult, villain can see that it is our army's rear team and an enemy army fighting." The soldiers ran up, tired and out of breath, and two soldiers had already gone down to hold him halfway and carry him up the mountain.

"Don't panic, take your time!" Meng Qing said in a deep voice.

"My lord, the villain went to investigate, and found from a distance that a large group of men and horses were fighting in the valley, and the flag was ambushed by the enemy when our rear team was marching in the valley, and the villain took a closer look at the battle situation and found that our army, our army has collapsed, the banner is scattered, and it is not in formation, and many soldiers have knelt on the ground and begged to surrender!" This pro-soldier is also a clever man, knowing that what he said is greatly detrimental to the morale of the army, so he does not dare to speak loudly. Although his voice was low, his words trembled and showed panic.

"What! How can it be? Meng Jiashan jumped up in shock, rushed forward, grabbed the placket of this personal soldier with both hands, and whispered to him, "Where did the enemy come from?" Who is it? Why hasn't there been any news before? ”

"Can you see the enemy's flag?" Meng Qing asked.

The villain only saw a few bamboo poles carrying a few pieces of cloth in the enemy formation, and there were only numbers on them, and there were no other symbols or words! Those people had no clothes and armor, except for weapons in their hands, most of them were in tattered clothes, they didn't even have straw sandals, and even the thieves were better dressed than them, and it seemed that all of them were homeless people and beggars! ”

"Where did these thieves come from, so many of them, dare to fight against my righteous army?" The Meng father and son couldn't believe that this would happen, and they saw that the final victory of the hand was actually ruined by a thief who came out of nowhere.

After a while, there were finally three or three defeated soldiers fleeing from behind, and by looking at the appearance of them losing their armor, they knew that they had suffered a great defeat in front of them. Meng Qing hurriedly ordered the soldiers to divide into a team, led by the captain of the soldiers, and quickly stopped them all at the foot of the mountain, concentrated in one place, strictly forbidden the defeated soldiers to go up the mountain to contact the soldiers, and at the same time strictly ordered the soldiers on the mountain to seize the time to repair the defense, dare to go down the mountain privately to contact the defeated soldiers, and make a decision!

Then let Meng Jiashan lead two hundred-person teams, leave all the flags, insert them on the mountains, and go to the headquarters to rescue, how much can be saved!

Although Meng Qing tried to control the defeated soldiers in time and strictly forbade contact with others, the soldiers were always smart, and when they saw the defeated soldiers so embarrassed, they were obviously defeated and returned, and the sound of killing in the distance just now was continuous, which was by no means a fake. Some of the soldiers recognized that these defeated soldiers were their comrades in the rear team, and more and more defeated soldiers ran back, and in a stick of incense, there were already more than a dozen defeated soldiers gathered at the foot of the mountain, and these people ran away in a hurry, and even their weapons and armor were discarded. The soldiers on the mountain who were full of thoughts, seeing this, felt more and more that the fate of the rear team was not good.
