The time gradually came to two watches, the Liangshan army had all fallen asleep, the camp was silent, only a dozen sentries were constantly patrolling back and forth on the periphery, the long march for two days did not have a good rest, the soldiers were all sleepy, their legs were like lead, they were constantly yawning, still keeping their eyes open, watching the situation in the surrounding wilderness.

In the northeast corner of the camp by two patrol guards in charge of guarding, they are responsible for patrolling within three miles of the camp, encounter any abnormal situation will blow the horn in their hands to alarm, perhaps the two patrol soldiers are too tired, they privately agreed that each of them will stay guard for half the night, one patrol soldier hid under a stone and fell asleep quietly, the other stood on the big rock and looked into the distance.

At this moment, a cold arrow 'whoosh!' The shot hit, hit the soldier's throat, the soldier covered his throat and giggled twice, one fell off the boulder, the other soldier was suddenly awakened, he just looked around, more than a dozen arrows came at the same time, and immediately shot him with random arrows, and in a moment, countless cavalry figures appeared in the northeast corner of the camp.

Li Yanqing stared at the camp for a moment, and resolutely gave the order, "Attack!" ”

A thousand cavalry lit torches one after another, and soon converged into a torch nebula from a little starlight, and with the order of the main general, the cavalry suddenly launched, and the sound of horses' hooves was earth-shattering, and a thousand cavalry rushed to the camp hundreds of paces away like a torrent of steel.

But at this time there was no point in calling the police, the cavalry crossed the shallow trench and entered the camp, the cavalry more than once trained to rob the camp at night, but in actual combat, they were not confused, one by one torches were thrown at the big tent, the big tent was quickly ignited, the fire spread, and the whole camp was reduced to a sea of fire.

The soldiers of Liangshan woke up in their sleep, and in the face of the burning fire, they ran out of the big tent in great terror, and a group of unarmed people were ruthlessly slaughtered by the cavalry of the Xuanwu battalion, slashing with swords and stabbing with spears, and a group of cavalry rushed to kill in the camp, even if they surrendered on their knees, they could not escape the fate of death.

Yang Xiong tried to break through and escape surrounded by more than a dozen personal soldiers, but was stared at by Wang Gui, he rushed on his horse, stretched his bow and arrows fifty steps away, and shot an arrow at Yang Xiong's back, Yang Xiong did not wear armor in a hurry, this arrow hit his back, Yang Xiong screamed miserably, and planted it from the horse.

Yang Xiong's personal soldiers were shocked, and hurriedly wanted to carry the main general onto the war horse, but then a burst of arrows came, five or six personal soldiers were shot down, and the war horse was also hit by several arrows, neighed, and ran into the distance in pain.

"Kill me!"

Wang Gui roared, more than a hundred cavalry killed, killing more than a dozen of his own soldiers, Yang Xiong saw that he had nowhere to escape, he shouted, drew his long sword, and stabbed Wang Gui who rushed like a storm.

Wang Gui brandished a sixty-pound knife to slash at him, in the past two years, Wang Gui has done a lot of hard work on the knife, the knife is more and more skilled, this knife is fierce and fierce.

Just listen to 'When!' There was a loud bang, which made Yang Xiong's arms numb, and the long sword flew out of his hand, Yang Xiong was so shocked that he fell out, and he endured the severe pain and got up and stumbled and fled.

Wang Gui rushed past him, only to see a flash of cold light, a human head suddenly flew out several zhang away, Yang Xiong died tragically on the spot, becoming the first commander of the Liangshan Army to be killed.

The fire in the barracks grew bigger and bigger, and the cavalry quickly left the barracks, they rushed to the periphery and the infantry on the periphery slaughtered the soldiers of the Liangshan Army who escaped together, this was an extremely tragic massacre, there was no suspense, no mercy, the soldiers who escaped from the fire were all killed, and surrender was not accepted.

Li Yanqing watched coldly at the soldiers wielding their swords to kill the fleeing Liangshan soldiers on the periphery, without any wavering in his heart, he needed to use iron and blood to build an army, and he was also building himself, only in this way could they have the courage to face the Jurchen cavalry that killed like jackals.

The fire in the military camp gradually went out, the war gradually ended, three thousand Liangshan soldiers were almost killed, and the time was also at the fourth watch, the head Lu Fei led hundreds of soldiers to Liaocheng East City to call the door, after a while, the city gate slowly opened.

Hundreds of soldiers cautiously entered the city with shields, and more than a dozen township soldiers ran down the city and raised their hands and shouted: "The magistrate and the county have all run away, and there are no more officials in the city." ”

With a wave of Lu Fei's hand, the soldiers quickly took control of the East City Gate, and not long after, Li Yanqing led other troops into the city.

I saw that Liaocheng Street was unusually quiet, every household turned off the lights, and the entire county was dark, but Li Yanqing could feel that many families did not sleep, but hid behind the window and door to look out secretly.

At this time, Lu Fei came with two scribes to report: "Commander Qiyu, he went to the county office, and the county magistrate did run away, and only found these two scribes." ”

The two scribes hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "We have nothing to do with the Liangshan bandits, I hope the general will spare his life!" ”

"Are all the officials in the county appointed by Liang Shanjun?" Li Yanqing asked the two.

One of them trembled and said, "There are only two people, the county magistrate and the county cheng." ”

"What about the county lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper?" Li Yanqing asked.

"The county lieutenant was killed by them, Master Lin refused to do things for them, he has been dismissed at home, and the state officials have already fled."

"Where is Master Lin's home?"

"His family just.... It's right in the city! ”

Li Yanqing immediately said to Lu Fei: "Let this person lead the way, you take a few brothers to invite me from the master book, remember to be polite." ”

Lu Fei went with a scribe, and Li Yanqing went to the city, and his mission to attack the Daimyo's Mansion this time was not only to rescue the Daimyo's Mansion and relieve the siege of the city, but also to restore order in the Daimyo's Mansion and Bozhou.

At this time, Li Yanqing asked a scribe, "How much grain and grass is there in the city?" ”

At this time, the scribe already knew that this General Li would not kill them, and maybe he would use them, so he was a little fixed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "General Qiyu, there are 10,000 stone of grain in the county warehouse, 60,000 quintals of forage, and some money. ”

Li Yanqing was worried about the shortage of forage for military horses, and when he heard that there were 60,000 loads of forage, he was overjoyed, and the problem of forage for war horses was solved.

"Why didn't Liang Shanjun kill the master book?" This is also a little strange thing in Li Yanqing's heart.

The scribe thought for a while and said, "I heard that it seems that Master Lin is somewhat related to a certain leader in Liangshan, so Liangshanjun did not kill him. ”

Li Yanqing nodded, this can be explained, although Song Jiang is hypocritical, he has never been a soft person.

At this time, Lu Fei walked over with a middle-aged man, who looked quite gentle, a bit like his uncle Li Daguang.

The middle-aged scribe looked a little uneasy, stepped forward and saluted, "Xiaguan Lin Yi has seen General Li!" ”

"You are the forest master of this county?"

"Exactly!"

Lin Yi was dismissed by the Liangshan Army, not appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, so he thought that he was still the head of the county.

Li Yanqing nodded and said: "The Liangshan Army of Bozhou has been completely annihilated outside the city by me, and the pseudo-Zhi County and the pseudo-county have fled. ”

Lin Yi heard that the Liangshan army in Bozhou had been completely annihilated, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy, "This is great, I will gather the gentry early tomorrow morning to discuss the plan of Ancheng." ”

"In addition, I will use some of the grain and forage in the warehouse, and I will give the master book a list when I go back, and ask Master Lin to write to the imperial court as soon as possible, and ask the court to arrange Bozhou officials."

Li Yanqing arranged for the army to rest in Liaocheng, and stripped more than 1,000 sets of intact armor from the fallen soldiers of the Liangshan Army, collected weapons, and handed them over to Lin Yi to form a township army.

Li Yanqing also ordered Wang Ping and Lu Fei to select 200 strong township soldiers to supplement the shortage of troops, so that the army was restored to 2,000 people, and ordered all the gold, silver and copper coins captured in several major battles to be distributed to the soldiers.

I was busy all night until dawn, and as soon as dawn, Wang Gui, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, hurriedly found Li Yanqing and said excitedly: "Lao Li, see what I found?" ”

He handed a long wooden box with exquisite workmanship to Li Yanqing, "This was found in an iron box in the main general's tent, I guess you will like it." ”

"What is this?" Li Yanqing took the wooden box and asked.

"You'll know when you open it."

Li Yanqing opened the wooden box, there was actually a thick-backed short sword inside, and a shark skin scabbard on the outside, he slowly pulled out the sword, only to see that the sword body was black and dull.

Wang Gui picked up a spear, "Let's try it!" ”

Li Yanqing slashed away with a sword, and with a bang, the spear shaft was suddenly split into two sections, and this short sword was incomparably sharper, more than several times sharper than his original short sword.

His old dagger had been acquired by chance as a child, and although it could still be used, it was noticeably lighter, and the blade was already notched, so it came at the right time.

Li Yanqing tried the sword and said with a smile: "It's just right to fit together!" ”

Wang Gui saw that Li Yanqing liked it, and he was quite happy in his heart, he said with a little regret: "I wanted to find you a good bow, but I have seen a lot, either it is too light, or the workmanship is poor, and even I can't look down on myself." ”

Li Yanqing's leopard head bow was destroyed in a fire in Shizhou City in Western Xia, and the copper bow and iron arrows could not be commonly used.

Li Yanqing smiled and patted Wang Gui's arm, "I understand the kindness, don't worry, there will definitely be a chance." ”

At this time, Niu Gao hurriedly ran over, bowed down and said, "Commander Qiqi, the battlefield has been cleaned up." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Let the brothers rest for an hour and get ready to go!" ”
