Chapter 38: Zhang Song's Plan (2)
It was dawn, and you could see the ground clearly without a torch.
The Mengshan thieves had already discovered the night raid team that rushed up, and they had already organized a team to prepare to resist, and that team had about a hundred people, almost twice the number of the night raid team.
Yu Minzhi's subordinates, who were in the front, hesitated slightly, a little hesitant.
The camp of the Mengshan thieves was in shambles, with all kinds of discarded items all over the ground, and many corpses left, and everything that could be burned by the torches set last night was burned, leaving only a piece of ashes, and the remnants of the fire were burning.
The Mengshan bandits had already deviated from their original camp, and they were moving away from the Green Pine Valley. The detachment they organized was responsible for breaking off the rear and covering the evacuation of others.
Seeing this, how could Zhang Song not understand that the Mengshan bandits were already preparing to retreat.
"The Mengshan thieves want to escape, rush up and entangle them, don't let them escape, our reinforcements are coming soon." Zhang Song shouted.
"Rush!" Striking Iron shouted in a high-pitched voice.
"Rush! Reinforcements are in the back! Chang Shen also shouted.
Inspired by the agitated rushing sound of everyone, Yu Minzhi's subordinates, who took the lead, quickly mustered up the courage to rush forward.
Although the Mengshan bandits were numerous, the night attack last night had brought them too many casualties and shattered their confidence in victory, and they only wanted to flee this place.
Although the number of the night raid team was far less than that of the Mengshan bandits, at this time, the Mengshan bandits had no fighting spirit, and the night raid team was able to fight on a par with them.
When Qingsong's reinforcements were already in sight, the Mengshan bandits could no longer form an effective resistance, and they began to flee.
The reinforcements of Qingsong Valley were led by Zhou Mingshu, Zhong Lei and Zhou Mingshu's personal entourage followed closely behind, and several of them came on horseback.
Several majestic horses rushed to Zhang Song and the others, and Zhou Mingshu stopped the horses and was about to stop. However, as soon as the big knife in Zhong Lei's hand turned, he inadvertently cut the back buttocks of Zhou Mingshu's horse.
Zhou Mingshu's horses were in pain, and rushed straight towards the team of Mengshan thieves, leaving behind a series of "ahhh
Zhou Mingshu's relatives looked at Zhong Lei angrily, and were about to scold Zhong Lei angrily.
Zhang Song and Zhong Lei quickly exchanged glances, and shouted loudly: "Zhou Jun is the first!" Hurry up! ”
"Rush! Protect Zhou Jun! Zhong Lei shouted, commanding reinforcements.
The reinforcements of Qingsong Valley saw that the Mengshan bandits, who were still extremely powerful yesterday, were now so unbearable, and rushed towards the Mengshan bandits with the mentality of beating the water dogs. Under the coercion of everyone, Zhou Mingshu's relatives had to rush forward with the crowd.
When Zhou Mingshu's horses rushed into the Mengshan bandits, the iron guy and others had already given up the entanglement with their opponents, and followed Zhou Mingshu's horses into the ranks of the Mengshan bandits.
Although some of the Mengshan bandits' team fled, the rest of the people resisted to the end and fought desperately against the personnel of Qingsong Valley.
Soon after Zhou Mingshu's horse rushed into the ranks of the Mengshan thieves, they were intercepted, and several people surrounded them.
"Hugh is going to hurt me!" Zhang Song shouted loudly, his voice full of anxiety.
The Mengshan thieves ignored it, but a few more people came up and besieged Zhou Mingshu together. Zhou Mingshu was stumbling left and right, and instantly fell into an extremely dangerous situation.
"Don't panic, I'm here to save you!" The Iron Guy shouted.
The iron guy moved forward bravely, but he was entangled by three Mengshan thieves and couldn't get out of it for a while.
Here, Zhou Mingshu's horses have been slashed and killed by Mengshan thieves, Zhou Mingshu's hair is scattered, his hair is very messy, the robe on his body has long been tattered, and his usual composure has disappeared, leaving only a panicked face.
Zhang Song and Zhong Lei were not idle, but fought with the Mengshan thieves with all their might, and the Mengshan thieves were also very difficult, knowing that Zhang Song and the others were going to ask for help from Zhou Mingshu, they were desperately entangled, so that Zhang Song and the others could not get out in a short time. Zhou Mingshu's relatives were also entangled by Mengshan thieves at this time, and it was difficult to get out, so they could only watch Zhou Mingshu fall into danger and be helpless.
The Mengshan thieves who surrounded Zhou Mingshu obviously captured Zhou Mingshu alive as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Qingsong Valley, so although Zhou Mingshu was stumbling, his life was not in danger for the time being.
"Iron guy, go and save Zhou Jun, you must not let Mengshan thieves capture Zhou Jun alive." Zhang Song also saw the attempt of the Mengshan thieves clearly, and after cutting down a Mengshan thief, he shouted at the iron man.
When the iron man heard this, he rose up and slashed and killed a Mengshan thief who came to support, and then stabbed two people on the left and right, and the remaining Mengshan thief could no longer stop the iron man.
"Phew!" The iron guy opened his eyes and shouted violently, and he entered Zhou Mingshu's encirclement, and soon made Mengshan's attempt to capture Zhou Mingshu alive unattainable.
The Mengshan thieves, who were entangled with Zhang Song, Zhong Lei and others, also knew that the situation was critical, so they fought and retreated, wanting to help surround Zhou Mingshu and fight the iron guy again. Zhang Song and Zhong Lei each forced back the Mengshan thieves who were entangled with them, and let Zhou Mingshu's personal entourage resist them, and they went to support the iron guy.
Zhou Mingshu's face was full of horror, his hand holding the knife trembled, and he desperately moved closer to the iron man.
"Kill!" A tall thief with thick eyebrows and big eyes among the Mengshan thieves saw that it was hopeless to capture Zhou Mingshu alive, so he waved the big knife in his hand and slashed at Zhou Mingshu, actually trying to split Zhou Mingshu in half.
"Ahh Zhou Mingshu was so frightened that his soul was about to disperse, and his feet kicked back desperately, and his body fell backwards.
At this time, the iron guy had already gotten rid of the entanglement and rushed towards Zhou Mingshu.
Unfortunately, Zhou Mingshu happened to fall to the iron guy, and the iron guy couldn't react for a while, and the knife in his hand was inserted into Zhou Mingshu's back.
"You...... You ......" Zhou Mingshu soon bleed, his fingers hit the iron guy, and he couldn't speak anymore, but the anger in his eyes was extremely obvious, as if he wanted to blame the iron guy.
said that it was too late, and the big knife in the hand of the thick-eyed Mengshan thief slashed over for the second time, and the knife was slashed at Zhou Mingshu's chest, which made Zhou Mingshu's original remaining vitality disappear without a trace, and Zhou Mingshu died on the spot.
The iron guy held Zhou Mingshu in his hands, not moving, the expression on his face was very strange, there was shock, fear, overwhelmed, panicked, a trace of joy, but more incredible.
"Oh no, Zhou Jun was killed by Mengshan thieves!" Zhang Song shouted loudly, "Rush! Avenge Zhou Jun! ”
The thick-eyed Mengshan thief saw that Zhou Mingshu was indeed dead, and the reinforcements from Qingsong Valley were fierce, so he no longer loved to fight, he shouted "go", and quickly retreated with the Mengshan thief.
Zhong Lei took the reinforcements of Qingsong Valley to chase after the Mengshan bandits, and the Mengshan thieves who fell behind were constantly cut down by the reinforcements of Qingsong Valley.
Zhou Mingshu's relatives walked to Zhou Mingshu's corpse, probed Zhou Mingshu's snort with their hands, and made sure that Zhou Mingshu was indeed dead, so they cried.
"What are the men crying about, rush forward, kill a few more Mengshan thieves to avenge Zhou Jun!" Zhang Song shouted at the two relatives.
The two relatives had no idea for a while, and under Zhang Song's shouting, they involuntarily listened to Zhang Song's opinion, got up and chased after the Mengshan thieves.
When the two relatives went away, Zhang Song bent down and helped the iron guy up.
"How? You okay? Are there any injuries? Zhang Song asked the iron guy with concern.
The iron guy didn't speak, just shook his head, still with that incredible expression.
Zhang Song patted the iron guy and whispered with some emotion: "I will remember your credit!" ”
The iron guy still didn't speak, and Zhang Song roughly checked the iron guy's body during this period, and made sure that he was not injured, but was just a little uncomfortable because of the killing, so he let the iron guy stand by himself.
Zhang Song bent down, turned over Zhou Mingshu's corpse, held Zhang Song's knife in his hand, and shook it vigorously to pull it off Zhou Mingshu's body.
The sky was already fully bright, and the red glow in the eastern sky indicated that it would be a sunny day.
The Qingsong Valley reinforcements who pursued the Mengshan thieves had already gone away, and some of the Mengshan thieves rode away at a gallop, and the remaining Mengshan thieves were all killed by the soldiers of the Qingshan Valley, leaving behind the corpses along the way.
Zhong Lei saw that the Mengshan thieves on horseback had fled far away, and there were not many horseback riders on his side, so he was worried about falling into the trap of the Mengshan bandits, so he gave up the chase and turned around and returned to Qingsong Valley.
The cheers of the soldiers of the Green Pine Valley soon fell silent, as they saw Zhang Song and the Iron Striker with sad expressions, and they only then remembered that one of the leaders of the Green Pine Valley, Zhou Mingshu, was dead.
Zhou Mingshu's two relatives rushed to the body of Zhou Mingshu that had been placed and cried.
The iron guy and Zhang Song cried on the side.
After mourning for a while, Zhang Song pulled up the two relatives who were crying very badly, and ordered Zhou Mingshu's body to be placed on a simple stretcher that had been tied.
"Line up!" Zhong Lei shouted loudly, and his voice penetrated the audience.
The soldiers of Green Pine Valley were soon lined up. Zhang Song stood at the front of the queue and faced everyone with a sad expression.
"Zhou Jun fought bravely to defeat the Mengshan bandits, and finally fell under the big knife of the Mengshan bandits, although Zhou Jun is dead, but he died a glorious death, he is the hero of Qingsong Valley! Let's salute the heroes! ”
After Zhang Song finished speaking, he led everyone to salute Zhou Mingshu's corpse, solemn and solemn, just a little messy.
Before he died, Zhou Jun was still worried about the future of Qingsong Valley, he told the iron guy and asked him to tell everyone that he must follow Zhong Lei in the future, and we will jointly protect the future of Qingsong Valley. Let's salute the heroes once again! Zhang Song was tempted to add his name, but gave up on it for credibility.
Zhang Song once again led everyone to salute Zhou Mingshu's corpse, and this time the salute was very neat.
"Zhou Jun died for Qingsong Valley, let us accompany his heroic soul back to Qingsong Valley together!" Zhang Song shouted loudly, his voice hoarse and trembling, and his expression sad and solemn.
Zhou Mingshu's two relatives lifted Zhou Mingshu's body.
"Salute!" Zhang Song suddenly shouted.
In addition to the two who accompanied him, the other soldiers of Green Pine Valley saluted for the third time, and they were also neat.
"Back to the valley!"
With Zhang Song's sad shout, the team walked back.
