Chapter Eighty-Four: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

If Wei Shihao wanted to rush over and cut off Lu Man's head, I am afraid that before the knife fell, he would be killed by an arrow.

However, he was not so stupid, and immediately waved the great sword in his hand and slashed the arrows that flew at him one by one in front of his horse.

"Damn, mean! Put it on me! Liu Chongshan brandished a double hammer and shouted, and he had already slapped his horse and rushed over.

In fact, Wei Shihao had already predicted that nearly a thousand archers had been arranged in advance to stand in the back row in case of accidents.

After Liu Chongshan gave the order, the archers rushed to the front, aiming at the enemy soldiers on the gatehouse and firing arrows at the same time.

After the mutiny of Lu Dahai to Jingliu Anza, he failed to build an ordnance manufacturing workshop, so the number of bows and arrows was very scarce, and there were only 300 archers arranged on the Rimiao position, which could withstand this rain of arrows.

On the gatehouse, there were countless casualties in an instant, and the surviving archers only had cats hiding at the base of the wall, how could they dare to take the lead.

When Wei Shihao relieved the pressure and came back to his senses, Lu Man had been helped up by Deng Qiantu and retreated towards the gate of the gatehouse.

"Kill!" Wei Shihao gave an order, and he took the lead and entered the enemy formation, followed by other soldiers.

The enemy generals were defeated, their morale was seriously hit, they were not the opponents of the soldiers of Qingyuan Mansion at all, and they were defeated, and suddenly the entire valley was filled with killing shouts and screams.

3,000 people, and less than 2,000 who finally fled into the gatehouse.

After the gate was closed, General Xie felt that he should take advantage of the victory to pursue, and immediately ordered a general attack.

There is no way back from the land and sea. After Deng Qian arranged for someone to bandage Lu Man, he immediately went upstairs to lead the other soldiers to resist.

After the war in Limiao Village, Lu Dahai and Deng Weili, who thought that Qingyuan Mansion would not dare to really fight, panicked, and at the same time sent several groups of people to the surrounding Heshan County, Liuzhou Mansion, and Xincheng Tusi Yamen to ask for support.

Li Miao Village is the first dangerous pass set by Lu Dahai, victory or defeat is related to the life and death of his department, and he cannot afford to miss a little, so he personally brought 3,000 elite soldiers, and Deng Weili's newly recruited 2,000 recruits to urgently reinforce Li Miao Village.

The messengers who rushed to Liuzhou Prefecture and Heshan County to ask for rescue had just left the boundary of Xincheng and had already been detained, and where could they still be rescued.

However, after Eun Sheng learned that Gyeongwon Mansion had launched an attack on the land and sea department, he immediately sent 2,000 elite soldiers to reinforce it. However, as soon as he arrived in the area of Masi Polder, he was intercepted by Xie Yingjun's troops, who had been waiting there for a long time, so he had to abandon his helmet and return home.

Ensheng thinks that the state official is crazy, and even dares to disobey the orders of Grandpa An and the proclamation of Nanning Mansion?

He thought about it, since Qingyuan Mansion was so crazy, as a henchman of Lu Dahai, he might also be in trouble with his pond fish, so he immediately took precautions, and at the same time sent someone to Nanning to report the situation.

Deng Weili relied on the advantage of the gatehouse, and although he suffered heavy casualties, he barely survived for more than an hour.

When Wei Shihao was about to capture the gatehouse, Lu Dahai arrived just in time and immediately pressed down the soldiers who attacked the gatehouse.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the troops also needed to breathe, so General Xie immediately ordered to stop the attack and ordered the soldiers to adjust slightly.

Wei Shihao was fighting vigorously, but General Xie ordered to stop the attack, which made him very puzzled.

Wei Shihao came to General Soldier Xie and asked, "Lord General Soldier, when the morale of the troops was rising, why did you suddenly order to stop the attack?" ”

"The enemy occupies a dangerous position and inflicts great losses on our army. The enemy's reinforcements have just arrived, and the morale is high, and if our army attacks hard, not to mention the losses, it is easy to be frustrated. At present, the fighting on the east and west roads is going relatively smoothly, and I estimate that it will not be long before the troops of the two routes will approach the polder, putting pressure on the enemy...... Let's take it slowly. "Mr. Xie is confident.

Wei Shihao suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sigh that Jiang was still old and spicy.

Lu Dahai walked up to the gatehouse, and saw that the state official and Mr. Xie were in the enemy camp outside the gatehouse, and saw his own soldiers lying in a pool of blood, so he was angry.

He blushed, and shouted loudly to the state official under the gatehouse: "The surname is Mo, you are so bold, you actually disobey the orders of Father-in-law An and the orders of Nanning Mansion. If you are guilty of the above, aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish your nine clans? ”

When the governor heard this, he laughed out loud and said: "In order to seek the position of our state official, you Lu Dahai bribed high-ranking officials, colluded with party henchmen, brutalized the officials of Nanning Prefecture, and also staged a mutiny, aren't you afraid that the emperor will cut off your head?" ”

"Haha, surnamed Mo, now that it's over, I'll tell you! There is an official above him, he is a popular person next to the emperor today, and the position of the state official should have belonged to me Lu someone, and you are not worthy of an old man who is only a promise. Let me tell you, if it weren't for the treasure map in your hand, you would have died a long time ago. ”

"Hmph, there is some money, your life is not hard enough, you can't spend what you earn, and the debts you owe will be paid off after all." As he spoke, the governor began to get a little excited.

He pointed to Wei Shihao beside him and said, "Who do you think of him?" ”

"He? Isn't it just a remnant of Jingliu, Wei Shihao, who was picked up by you as a petty official? What's the big deal? ”

"Wrong, his real name is Mo Zongzhao! Seventeen years ago, you colluded with Ensheng to kill Mo Huairen Tusi, and praised Ensheng to seize the position of Xincheng Tusi, and the Mo Tusi killed by you is Mo Zongzhao's Abba! ”

Yes? Mo Huairen's son, Mo Zongzhao, is Wei Shihao?

In the past seventeen years, Mo Zongzhao, whom Lu Dahai and Ensheng dreamed of hunting down, was Wei Shihao, and he had been a soldier under him for a few months? This was too dramatic, which surprised Lu Dahai, he rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, Wei Shihao's appearance was indeed a little similar to Mo Huairen, and he should not be wrong.

After seeing Wei Shihao clearly, Lu Dahai's whole body was shocked, and he almost didn't stand firm.

"So what? After I report to Grandpa An, I will kill you one by one. "Lu Dahai is dying, and he still holds on to Grandpa An's thighs.

"Haha...... Can Grandpa An still cover you? He couldn't even protect himself. I advise you to hurry up and arrest him, beg the governor for mercy, and allow you to keep a whole corpse. Wei Shihao scoffed.

"Nonsense...... Bold, you dare to speak ill of Grandpa An behind your back? ......" Lu Dahai said angrily.

Before he could finish speaking, a soldier immediately came to report, saying: "There is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us, and our army can no longer resist the enemy attacking from the direction of Masi, and has begun to retreat; The fighting in the direction of Nanping Polder is also very tight, please help and support. ”

"Huh?" After hearing the war report, Lu Dahai's legs weakened, his body shook for a moment, and he immediately leaned against the wall and almost collapsed on the ground.

"Where did Qingyuan Mansion get so many troops? What about Ensheng? What about the reinforcements he sent? Did we send an envoy to ask for reinforcements from the surrounding area? Lu Dahai shouted.

"Ensheng Tusi sent 2,000 reinforcements, and after being blocked on the way, he had retreated to the area around Chengguan to protect himself, and did not dare to send another soldier. The messengers sent out of the Xincheng territory were all arrested. There is information that the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to support our department, and we can only rely on ourselves. ”

It's over, it's over!

After Lu Dahai heard the news of this thunderbolt on a sunny day, he collapsed on the spot, and then saw that his son Lu Man was being carried into the carriage and transported to the rear, at this time he knew how to call despair.

The other soldiers also shook the morale of the army when they saw Lu Dahai's desperate appearance, how can this battle be fought?

"Attack!"

At this moment, the sword in General Xie's hand immediately pointed at the gatehouse and gave the order to launch a general attack.

"Kill me!"

Anyway, as soon as he died, the land and sea dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and roared, wanting to fight to the death.

However, where could the defenders, whose morale was seriously damaged, still be able to withstand the attack of General Xie's army?

Soon, the danger of Li Miao Village was lost, and Lu Dahai and others retreated to beat the hole polder.

At this time, Deng Qianfu, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, had already fled back to the borrowed village under the pretext of escorting Lu Man back to Jingliu for treatment.

"Abba, the troops of Qingyuan Mansion are coming, and Lu Dahai's troops are not vulnerable at all, what should I do now? What should I do? Deng Qiantu asked anxiously.

Hearing that Li Miao was lost, no one around was willing to lend a hand, and Deng Mansion had already become a mess, how did Deng Weili know what to do?

He was already trembling on all fours, sweating on his forehead, and walking up and down the hall.

Steward Li also had a pale face, and he couldn't think of any good way at all.

"What do I do, you ask? Who do I ask? Deng Weili said angrily.

"Master, no, Master Li, we ......," Steward Li said.

"When are you still grown? It sounds more comfortable to call the master. It's really a hug, I want to be a long-term leader, this hasn't been a few days, and the good days are coming to an end! Deng Weili slapped his forehead and sighed at his life.

"Master, otherwise, let's run away! Before the army of Qingyuan Mansion has reached us. Steward Li said.

"Run, where to run?"

"We have high mountains and dense forests here, and a few people who drill into the forest will never be discovered. We fled to the Octagonal Village for refuge, where the mountains were high and the roads were far away, and the officers and men knew that we were hiding there and might not attack them. My lord has always supported them, and they will not ignore us in times of crisis. Besides, the bandits are interested in money, and if we bring more money, they will definitely take us in. Steward Li said.

Octagonal Village is a bandit nest, and it is the largest bandit in Xincheng Tu County. For more than 100 years, they have relied on their dangerous geographical advantages, and the officers and soldiers have no way to take them, and the ranks have become stronger and bigger.

"Okay, let's go to Octagonal Village. Butler, you find two housekeepers to carry silver taels, and we wear mountain people's clothes and take away from the mountain behind the stockade. Deng Weili said.
