The location of Yunfeng Temple is high, so although the area of the fire burning in the temple is not very large, and it does not spread to the outside of the temple, it looks like it is blazing, and it can be seen from a long distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Naturally, this situation can't be concealed, and Lu Xiangsheng, who has been paying attention to the movements of the Shennanyu thief army.

This time, Li Banghua rarely went to the front line in person, but handed over the heavy task of attacking Shennanyu to Lu Xiangsheng, and he took full command of the front line in person.

Lu Xiangsheng also knew that the opportunity was rare, so he naturally cheered up the spirit of 120,000 points, and was extraordinarily conscientious and conscientious.

For three or four days in a row, Lu Xiangsheng led the army to supervise the subordinates of Liu Guoneng's subordinates, and carried out mountain logging, paving and building bridges on the mountain road from Shikou to Shennan Yutou Daoling, and finally rushed to repair a flat road from Shikou Town to Toudaoling, which allowed the mining battalion artillery team under Lu Yuanding to smoothly advance to the camp not far from the foot of Toudaoling Mountain.

On the evening of the day when the camp was set up, Lu Xiangsheng finished the first-class artillery formation, and launched a tentative artillery bombardment in accordance with the order sent by Li Banghua, which not only tested the defense of the thief army on the Toudaoling, but also unexpectedly created a rare opportunity for Zhang Liwei and Wang Guozhong.

When it was dark at night, Lu Xiangsheng stopped the shelling, collected his troops and returned to the camp, preparing for the next morning, no matter whether there would be chaos within the thief army as expected, he would lead the army to capture Toudaoling.

Because the thief army on Toudaoling was close at hand, Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to take it lightly, and naturally sent enough open sentry, secret sentry, and patrol sentry that night, on the one hand, to prevent the thief army from attacking the camp at night, and on the other hand, he also hoped that his previous artillery bombardment, which lasted until dark, could send Zhang Liwei a signal to attack, thus causing chaos in the thief camp.

Since nightfall, Lu Xiangsheng has been sitting in his big tent of the Chinese army, reading by the lights on the one hand, and waiting for clues of chaos in the thief camp on the other.

Seeing that after a while, the depths of the mountains and forests in Shennanyu were still quiet, which made Lu Xiangsheng a little disappointed for a while.

After a while, under the persuasion of his younger brother Lu Xiangguan, after Lu Xiangsheng washed up, he was about to lie on the marching bed and take a nap, but suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the tent, it was Chen Tan, the former army commander under his command.

"My lord, there seems to be a fire coming from a high ground in Shennanyu!"

Chen Tan's report made Lu Xiangsheng suddenly sleepy, and immediately came to Liu Guoneng, and then took Liu Guoneng to the watchtower in the camp and looked at it with a clairvoyant mirror.

At this time, the fire in the Shennanyu Yunfeng Temple, that is, Wang Jiayin's Hengtian Palace, has started, and the fire reflects the sky, burning out a piece of red light.

Liu Guoneng, who was following left and right, took a look at it and immediately said: "My lord, the place where the fire started is the Yunfeng Temple in Shennanyu, that is, the puppet Heavenly King's Mansion of the thief leader Wang Jiayin!" ”

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's will to reward the battle of Shimen Pass had not yet reached the Shanxi army, so Liu Guoneng and the first part of the Chinese army under his command still temporarily belonged to the sequence of the Tianxiong battalion and belonged to the command of Lu Xiangsheng in accordance with the order of Li Banghua, the minister of military aircraft.

For a few days, he followed Lu Xiangsheng to urge the original subordinates to surrender, open mountains and cut trees, pave roads and build bridges, and because he was familiar with the details of the thief army and the road from Shikou to Shennanyu, he helped Lu Xiangsheng to make suggestions, and his performance was commendable and very hardworking, and he also won Lu Xiangsheng's respect.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng heard Liu Guoneng say this, and immediately made a decision, and ordered the mine battalion artillery team led by Lu Yuanding to start bombarding the thief camp on Toudaoling again.

And when the artillery bombardment of the officers and troops rumbled again in the second half of the night, there was already a great chaos on Toudaoling.

The sky-high fire of Shennanyu can be seen by the officers and soldiers outside Toudaoling, and Zhang Cunmeng, the "Eight King Kongs" who is sitting in Toudaoling at this time, can naturally see it clearly.

Previously, Zhang Cunmeng already knew that early tomorrow morning, the Shennanyu camp led by King Hengtian would be evacuated, and a few hours later, the troops on the line from Toudaoling to Rolling Rabbit Ridge led by him would also be evacuated.

The task assigned to him by King Hengtian and Prime Minister Zuo was to block the official army for a few hours or more in the direction of Toudaoling to Rolling Rabbit Ridge, so as to earn enough time for the transfer of the Shennanyu camp.

Therefore, after Zhang Cunmeng arrived at Toudaoling, on the one hand, he commanded his troops to repair the fortifications that had been bombarded by the official artillery, dig trenches and build walls, and prepare for the next day's defensive operations.

On the other side, he also closely followed the movements of the Shennanyu camp, so he was busy until the second half of the night, and he never lay down to rest for a moment.

Because of this, when the fire in the direction of Shennanyu Yunfeng Temple was together, Zhang Cunmeng quickly got the report of his subordinates, and when he saw the fire in his rear, the defenders on Toudaoling quickly talked about it, and they were all uneasy.

When Zhang Cunmeng heard the report, he killed a few minions who were making loud noises in the camp before he stabilized the situation in the camp of the thieves on Toudaoling, and it was good that there was no camp roar.

But looking at the fire in the direction of Shennanyu Yunfeng Temple, Zhang Cunmeng's heart was also very anxious, on the one hand, he quickly sent people back to find out the news, and on the other hand, he ordered the minions in the camp to get up and be ready to deal with unexpected dangers at any time.

Just when Zhang Cunmeng was anxious, the minions who had been sent out for a short time suddenly led the team of guards of the King of Hengtian, saying that the second minister of the left prime minister and the military division Wang Er was making trouble, and Wang Jiayin, the king of Hengtian, had an order to order the "Eight King Kongs" Zhang Cunmeng to speed the army back to Shennanyu.

Originally, when Zhang Cunmeng was sent to Toudaoling to sit in command, he had doubts in his heart, he was the king's confidant, and after being transferred to Toudaoling, Shennanyu except for Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei, who were the two waste snacks that were the king's henchmen, the rest were Wang Er's henchmen, not to mention that the king's clan brother and Wang Er were on the same footing, and he left, Shennanyu was difficult to keep safe!

Therefore, at this time, seeing the order brought by the Hengtian King's personal guard, Zhang Cunmeng recognized it after thinking about it, and learned from the mouth of the Hengtian King's personal guard that the retreat road Rolling Rabbit Ridge a few miles away behind him had been occupied by the "armor-breaking cone" Wei Daheng, the confidant of Zuo Prime Minister Wang Er, and he was even more angry, and immediately ordered a group of people to stay in Toudaoling, and then rushed to the direction of Rolling Rabbit Ridge with the main force under his command.

As for the rumbling cannon sound that came again outside Toudaoling shortly afterward, Zhang Cunmeng couldn't care about it so much.

However, the team of people Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei saw in Niangniang Temple was not under the command of Zhang Cunmeng, but one of the cronies of Zuo Prime Minister Wang Er, the "armor-breaking cone" Wei Daheng.

Rolling Rabbit Ridge is also a commanding height, and it is a little closer to the center of Shennanyu, not long after the fire in the Hengtian Palace, Yunfeng Temple, burned out, and just arrived at Rolling Rabbit Ridge to pick up the Wei tycoon's department who guarded Zhang Cunmeng's camp, and he noticed it.

It's just that at that time, they had just been ordered to move to the Rolling Rabbit Ridge, and it was the middle of the night, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and the situation was unknown, and they did not dare to return to the army without authorization, and later met the guards who went to Toudaoling to pass the order to the King of Hengtian, and heard that the King of Hengtian had an order to pass it to Zhang Cunmeng, as for what order was transmitted, he asked again and again, the leader of the personal guard of the King of Hengtian did not say, and Wei Daheng did not dare to stop himself, so he could only let it pass.

Not long after the group of people and horses passed, the direction of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, which was closer to Rolling Rabbit Ridge, also burned in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and at this moment, Wei Daheng couldn't sit still, and he couldn't care about the people and horses under his command who were sleepy and tired overnight, so he forced himself to drink and ordered his subordinates to pack up and return to Shennanyu.

On a hillside more than a mile away from Niangniang Temple, Wei Daheng was seeing a large number of minions kneeling on the ground and shouting "May I obey the orders of the two kings" in front of Niangniang Temple!

Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, he had already determined that Shennanyu was in chaos.

The fires in the Hengtian Palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion have gotten out of control, completely enveloping the two mansions that occupy a large area in flames!

Wei Daheng saw Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei in the firelight, and Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei naturally quickly saw that the person who came was Wei Daheng.

Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei were able to stir up a big mess in Shennanyu, relying on almost all of them to be abducted and deceived, so after seeing the "armor-breaking cone" Wei Tycoon who led a large number of troops to come, he was terrified, knowing that success or failure was in this move, so he shouted:

"Brethren! Wei Daheng, the second lackey of the king who assassinated the king and plotted against him, is here! Kill them and avenge the king! ”

As soon as Wang Guozhong shouted like this, Zhang Liwei naturally shouted: "Kill the second lackey of the king and avenge the king!" Kill the second lackey of the king and avenge the king! ”

Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei's rhetoric changed several times overnight, but in this situation here and now, even if someone noticed, not many people dared to stand up and correct it, just like that, a large number of minions who followed Wang Guozhong and Zhang Liwei were once again confused and didn't know where to go.

However, at this time, the "armor-piercing cone" Wei Tycoon helped them make a choice.

Because Wei Tycoon, who was getting closer and closer, finally saw the head that Wang Guozhong was holding in his hand when he raised his arms and shouted, how did he look like the eldest Wang Er, who led the crowd to follow after he first fell into the grass!

With such a discovery, and then I heard Wang Guozhong's rhetoric from a distance, and my heart was undoubtedly convinced, this Wang Guozhong was framing the military adviser Zuo Prime Minister Wang Er for "rebellion", and he was angry and hateful at the moment, and he also shouted:

"Boys! Prime Minister Zuo called these bastards harmful! Zuo Cheng treats the big guy well! Let's go avenge Prime Minister Zuo! ”

The old man and the tycoon Wei didn't have time to think about it, so he led his left and right henchmen to rush over, completely sending the thief army of the Shennanyu camp to the point of no return of internal strife!
