Chapter 137: Let Him Run Away Again
At the same time, Xiong Kuohai, who had been training troops in Chengwu County, finally got the news of Meng Haigong's withdrawal of troops. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Meng Haigong is now gray-haired, and he is a teenager old; Some time ago, he was still in high spirits, but in the blink of an eye, Qin Qiong had hit his hometown Cao County in four counties in a row; His influence in Caozhou is only Cao County and Shanfu County.
Cao County is its own foundation, and Danfu County is rich in iron ore and gold mines, which are the pillars of its own economy, and these two counties must not be lost.
So after thinking about it, Meng Haigong had no choice but to give up Chengwu County, and also gave up the entire Daizhou to return to Cao County, preparing to stabilize this place at the junction of the three provinces, and make a comeback in the future.
The sentinels of the majestic sea watched Meng Haigong's actions every day, and he listened to Sheng Yanping's strategy; Taking advantage of the opportunity to go out for military training every day, he brought out 1,000 soldiers each time, but only 800 came back. In this way, unconsciously, he had ambushed 2,000 elite soldiers in Tiangong Temple, the only way for Meng Haigong to retreat to Cao County.
Now in the large camp outside Chengwu City, there are only 1,000 sailors and 1,000 government soldiers from Dong'e County; In bluffing to hide from the enemy.
Although it was night, Meng Haigong was discovered by the sentinels of Xiongkuohai as soon as he left the city, and then galloped to report to Sheng Yanping, who was ambushing Xiongkuohai and the military camp in Tiangong Temple.
The two of them came to their senses as soon as they saw it, and Sheng Yanping hurriedly asked Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue to take advantage of the confusion in people's hearts to seize the city gate of Chengwu County. These two men are known as sea harriers, because they are outstanding and can climb smooth rock walls; Then it rolls over and jumps down and jumps into the water like a sea harrier, hence the name.
Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue got the general order, and took their deferential subordinates to wear tight-fitting night clothes, and took advantage of the cover of night to secretly use the hook to climb the mountain in Chengwu County.
Now the people of Chengwu County are panicking, and under the encouragement of people with hearts, the news that Meng Haigong wants to give up Chengwu and return to Cao County has been spread all over the city.
Although Meng Haigong vigorously denied it, he swore that he would live and die with Chengwu. However, his next actions completely revealed his plans.
Meng Haigong, who was not greedy enough, demanded that the big families in Chengwu County must move to Cao County to live, although it was said to protect everyone's interests from suffering from war; But the fool knew he was going to run away.
Chengwu's soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit, and when they heard that the people of Liangshan treated their captives preferentially and lived a stable and prosperous life, they all had some secret expectations in their hearts; has already been captured by Liangshan, so there is no need to be angry with Meng Haigong.
It was to wait for Lu Xingxing's Lu Mingyue brothers to go to Chengwu County, but they didn't see a few guards; At first, they thought they had been ambushed; But when I looked left and right, there was no one around.
The two brothers took their sharp blades and cautiously followed the steps to the gate of the city, and when several soldiers guarding the city saw them; When he screamed, he threw away the blade in his hand, lay on the ground and kowtowed incessantly to forgiveness.
Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue shook their heads helplessly, letting these soldiers hide aside, and they rushed up to open the city gate. Sheng Yanping, who was waiting outside, rushed in with a shout, and he saw Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue and said, "How is it?" What about casualties? ”
Lu Xingxing smiled bitterly: "Don't mention it!" Not even a drop of blood was seen; As soon as they saw us, they all surrendered! ”
Sheng Yanping laughed when he heard this: "That's just right! Our forces are insufficient, so your brothers hurry up and gather the enemy's defeated troops, and don't let them take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. I'll pick up and receive the county office; Ask Commander Wang Hu to lead a part of the men and horses to maintain law and order in the city, and if you dare to make trouble, you will be executed on the spot! ”
"Yes!" Lu Xingxing and Lu Mingyue agreed, and began to collect the prisoners with the navy; Since Meng Haigong wanted to escape, he had already taken away all the young and strong soldiers in Chengwu County, leaving only a few thousand old and weak soldiers.
These old and weak soldiers did not resist, and were successfully accepted by the Lu brothers. Compared with the Lu brothers, Sheng Yanping was more happy to receive the county government, there was no one running here, Sheng Yanping took over the county government, and immediately arranged for Zhang Bang to be an enemy.
The next day, the residents of Chengwu County got up and learned that Chengwu had changed people; But the soldiers in the streets were patrolling in neat formations, singing loudly as they went, as if they were in the discipline of their army.
These soldiers are indeed as sung in the song, and they are more amiable in bringing people and things; I also often help everyone to do what they can; The residents of Chengwu County were quick to accept this different team.
Wang Hu's team was fierce and vicious, and the scoundrels who were afraid of grabbing a handful were frightened one by one, and they hid honestly, not daring to act rashly.
Meng Haigong led a team of more than 10,000 people, pulling the property of Chengwu County with large carts and small cars, and slowly marched towards Cao County.
Because of the heavy drag, they left Chengwu in the first half of the night, and it was not until the second half of the night that they came to the Tiangong Temple on the border with Cao County.
By this time, the troops had already walked dozens of miles; I was already tired and sleepy, and I couldn't walk. Seeing that he had arrived at the junction with Cao County, Meng Haigong's tense heart finally relaxed.
But his good mood did not last long, when he heard a roar, and then suddenly a torch lit up in the dark night sky; Then shouts of murder erupted.
The barren grass next to it suddenly rushed out of a team; The leader was a purple-faced man who carried a large cooked copper stick with a thick bowl in his hand. He roared, and rushed over with the team first, cutting off Meng Haigong's team.
Meng Haigong was furious and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to concentrate on resisting. Xiong Kuohai and Dong Yihu cut off the enemy's team, and then the team rushed to both sides.
Xiong Kuohai was bent on capturing Meng Haigong, so he threw away his spear team and strode all the way over.
Meng Haigong was frightened when he saw that purple-faced man rushing all the way to meet the enemy. These people did not know the vast sea, and rushed up one by one shouting.
Xiong Kuohai did not ride a horse for this ambush, but when he saw an enemy general rushing up, he made a round of big sticks and snapped loudly, and the general and his blade were beaten in two, and he fell off his horse.
The majestic sea also flew on his war horse, and rushed forward with a round of big sticks; The rest of the people were so frightened that their faces turned even brighter, and they hurriedly waved their blades to fight around the mighty sea.
But they were so fierce that they could overcome the mightiness of the mighty sea, and they listened to the "Bang!" "Oops!" "Smack" "Ah! There was a loud bang and a scream, and within a few moments these people were knocked to the ground by the mighty sea.
Meng Haigong felt bitter in his heart, where did Liang Shan collect so many fierce generals? Could it be that all the heroes of the world have arrived in Liangshan? He saw that Xiong Kuohai was rushing over again, and hurriedly ordered dozens of generals around him to rush up together; He snorted a few times in the back, and then secretly turned the horse's head and went straight to Cao County with his friend Jiao Yue.
Dong Yihu is the captain of Dong'e, and the two steel whips in his hands have the courage of ten thousand people; However, since he tried to compete with Xiong Kuohai once, this arrogant man has been completely convinced.
This time, he also took the initiative to cooperate with Xiong Kuohai to come out to intercept Meng Haigong; He discussed it with Xiong Kuohai, who was responsible for chasing and killing Meng Haigong, and he was responsible for snatching the baggage.
Xiong Kuohai led his soldiers to rush forward to kill Meng Haigong, and he led some of his soldiers to rush backwards to kill. The back were all some miscellaneous soldiers, who could resist his charge, and they were dispersed in a short time, that is, Li Zhong, the general who was responsible for escorting grain and grass, fought with him for five or six rounds, and his head was also broken.
Dong Yihu arranged for someone to protect the baggage, he himself got on Li Zhong's war horse, and then led the remaining soldiers to rush forward to support the majestic sea.
At this time, Meng Haigong's team had already run away without command, and the spear team of the Shanzi Brigade in Liangshan had to throw down the heavy spear and draw the short knife in his waist to pursue the enemy.
The generals who fought against the Mighty Sea besieged the Mighty Sea with a large number of men at the beginning; However, he was knocked to death by more than a dozen consecutive sticks in his hand, and these people knew that the purple-faced man in front of them was invincible, so they were a little bluffing.
When they saw the mighty sea rushing, they ran like the other side; The mighty sea came back again, and they ran to the other side. The majestic sea roared and kicked the sitting war horse vigorously; It's a pity that he sat down like a war horse, coupled with his heavy body, and a 300-pound stick in his hand, he couldn't catch up with these slippery guys.
When the majestic sea was screaming, Dong Yihu was killed, and he rushed up from behind the enemy without saying a word; The steel whip in his hand rotated "pop" and "pop" twice, and the two generals were knocked off the horse.
The others were in a big uproar, and Xiong Kuohai took the opportunity to rush up, and killed three or four people with a big stick. The remaining thieves rushed out of the circle at this time, and their hearts were pounding, they wanted to find Meng Haigong and listen to his instructions; However, it was found that Meng Haigong had disappeared without a trace.
"Ran away?" The thieves suddenly realized, scolded secretly, and then shouted and fled. Xiong Kuohai saw that they had run away, so he thought of looking for Meng Haigong, but he searched the entire battlefield, where could he see Meng Haigong's figure.
"Hey! Let this old boy run away again! What a bad luck! The majestic sea angrily smashed the big stick to the ground.
Dong Yihu hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "General Xiong should blame himself, after all, we are only two thousand people, and the number of enemies is five or six times that of us; It's a big win to be able to do this. Besides, Meng Haigong almost escaped alone this time, and we took away all the heavy grain and grass; Even if we go back to Caozhou, what do we have to be afraid of; Sooner or later, take Caozhou and take his dog's life. ”
Xiong Kuohai gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "Okay, if he Meng Haigong is lucky, he will spare him again, and the next time I meet him, he will definitely make him look good!" Let's go, Lao Dong, let's clean up the battlefield. ”
