Chapter 155: Monstrous Flames
The villagers of Qingyang Village never thought that the official army only had a hundred men and horses, but they could create the momentum of more than a thousand people.
In the firelight, the villagers of Qingyang Village couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south, they ran in a panic, and they couldn't even distinguish the direction clearly, many of them were directly engulfed and burned to death by the fire, and more were lost in the panic.
"Ah......" The villagers screaming in the firelight turned the battlefield into Shura Purgatory, and the villagers of Qingyang Village could only seek to escape down the mountain, and they didn't even dare to enter the cottage, because the cottage was also full of fire points at this time, and people were burned to death everywhere.
Song Henghuan and Zhang Yuanming also fought a bloody way out of the fire, and even beat out the fire on his body several times, and then entered the cottage, and when he saw the appearance of fires everywhere in the cottage, his heart was like ashes.
"Owner of the village, how can this be?" Zhang Yuanming's whole person is still blind, and it can be said that he had the advantage before the war, but now he is defeated.
Song Henghuan sighed: "A thief can't win an official, this is what I understood when I was a bandit on the first day, this is also the source of the so-called evil invincible good, I thought that Qingyang Village could exist for a few more years, but now it ......"
As he spoke, Song Henghuan raised his saber as if he was going to fight to the end, and his tone was also very firm, "If you want to fight with the officers and soldiers to the end, you must not take a step back!" ”
"The owner of the village, let's take the people and horses away, how much can we take away, and we can make a comeback!" Zhang Yuanming persuaded him.
Song Henghuan shook his head and said, "What's the point of taking people to escape?" There is no place for us in the north......"
Zhang Yuanming said: "That village master, it's better for us to devote ourselves to those countries in the north......"
"Don't say that again!" Song Henghuan said, "Although I have done a lot of wrong things, I will never be Di Yi's lackey, if you say this kind of thing again, I will kill you and let you go down to Huangquan before the villagers!" ”
Zhang Yuanming honestly stopped mentioning the matter of defecting to Di Yi, and Song Henghuan raised his saber and shouted: "Brothers who are still alive, come with me and fight with those officers and soldiers!" ”
……
……
Zhang Yuanming failed.
Qingyangzhai also failed.
The defeat was complete, a battle ended almost one-sidedly, two or three hundred people in the cottage died in the raging fire, and among the remaining brothers, there were also escapes, while Song Henghuan was captured, as for Zhang Yuanming and other villagers died in the battle.
Xu Xian has been waiting for news on the battlefield on the front line, judging from what Xu Xian has learned, his brothers are also killed and wounded, and the number is also rising.
"My lord, we won!" Huang Chong brought someone over and said excitedly.
Xu Xian's face looked very indifferent, and said: "The expected thing, who said that the fire attack can't be used twice, but the way of using the fire attack needs to be changed, this failure is also determined by the internal contradictions of Qingyang Village, and it can be regarded as the will of God!" ”
"My lord, the person surnamed Song was captured alive, and the injury was not light, and several masters and owners in the cottage, some were killed, some were directly burned to death, and few were captured, only the second master of a woman surnamed Zhu, now her whereabouts are unknown, it is said that after the war, she took some thieves in the cottage and escorted some old and weak people in the cottage down the mountain, do you want to pursue?" Huang Chong asked.
"Huh?"
After Xu Xian heard the report of the battle situation, he couldn't help frowning, he was still thinking about whether to pursue the remnants of the army.
"Poor Kou Mo Chase, since the main thieves in Qingyang Village have been ambushed, then this war can be temporarily over, don't go in the cottage for the time being, and after this fire is over, count the loot!"
Because it was still night, the flames on the mountain were very bright, and there was a lot of smoke and dust, so Xu Xian temporarily set up camp in the middle of the mountain to wait for the situation on the mountain.
The living Qingyang villagers on the mountain began to be escorted to Xu Xian, Xu Xian also felt the pain of lack of manpower, even if the people under his hands were busy all the time, they still couldn't draw more manpower.
"Childe, is there anything you need help with?" Bai Fu appeared in front of Xu Xian with the five ghosts.
When Xu Xian saw the five ghosts, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay, the general problems on the mountain have been solved, and Madame asked you to come?" ”
"Yes, Childe, Miss is afraid that something will happen to you, so she asked me to wait to protect you, and Childe doesn't have to worry about someone attacking you!" Bai Fu said respectfully.
Xu Xian waved his hand and said: "Then wait in the tent first, the mountain is still cleaning up the mess, but now it seems that there is no suspense, you ......can stay here and wait for the news."
……
……
After nearly two hours, the fire in Qingyang Village was a little smaller, and the thieves in Qingyang Village still didn't understand how they failed.
I only knew that the city was full of spirit, explosions, fires, and then the loss of ground inside and outside the camp, and finally many of my companions died in the fire, and I was captured by the officers and soldiers in a state of headless flies.
“…… My lord, although the war went well, it still lost a lot of brothers, especially the soldiers in the city, four of whom died directly in the chaos of the battle, and two of whom are still missing, and I don't know whether they were burned to death by fire, or deserters, or whether they did not come back to restore their lives! When Du Yong came back, he also escorted the half-dead Song Henghuan, and Du Yong told Xu Xian the general situation on the mountain.
Xu Xian nodded and said: "This is also expected, it is a war, there will always be casualties, our own brothers are fine, right?" ”
Du Yong looked very happy and said: "Fortunately, it's just that four or five brothers were injured, and they are all fine, so don't worry too much!" ”
"Good!" Xu Xian said, "Let the brothers quickly clean up the battlefield, bury the bodies of the thieves on the spot, and the brothers in the city will bring them back one by one, if they are really missing, they can't be found...... That can't be helped, let's do our best! ”
"Yes, sir!" Du Yong's respect for Xu Xian at this time was also extreme.
Xu Xian said: "Let the brothers wait for merit and reward, even if the land in Yanshan County is not rare, they can also get the reward of silver and food, and the position in the army will also be promoted, and the brothers will not be treated badly, work harder, and strive to end all this before dawn!" ”
"Yes!" After Du Yong saluted, he said again, "The leader of Qingyang Village has been escorted down, and his injuries are not light, I don't know what to do with it?" ”
"Bring it to the tent first, and the official will meet the thief leader in person!" After Xu Xian finished speaking, he turned around and entered the tent.
Du Yong turned around and said: "Pass on the order of the lord, bring someone from Qingyang Village thief Shousong here, and the adult will personally send it down!" ”
