"Accumulate more bricks and stones and wooden sticks to hold the door, don't put one in the people outside, Uncle Liu Sanzu collects thatch and dry branches to light the right to be a beacon fire, and the rest follow me to defend this small fort, I don't want to be killed by the villagers of Wangjiazhai, you will take out your desperate strength and courage to avoid today's catastrophe Liu will have a good reward. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Jun quickly organized a team of nearly 500 people, and the fugitives outside were almost slaughtered after half an hour.

Only then did the villagers discover that an earthen fort in the stockade was occupied by the Liu family.

The owner of Dazhai didn't expect the Liu family to be so difficult, and ordered the village to attack the earth fort several times, but they were all repelled by Liu Jun and others.

When the lord of the village saw the flames and smoke burning from the high place of the earth fort, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he said sharply: "Can't let the beacon fire be seen by people from afar, the Liu family must be annihilated as soon as possible. ”

At this time, the sky has been dark, once the fire in Wangjiazhai ignites, it will be very eye-catching dozens of miles away, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not attract the attention of Jinling.

The strategy of the master of Dazhai to kill the good and take the risk and tie up thousands of strong men may be flawed, so the master of Dazhai has made a bloody investment.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, Zhai Ding is a flying and domineering man on weekdays, and when he heard that the life of a Liu family was worth five taels of silver, he clamored to storm the earth fort.

Seeing that the gate of the earthen fort was about to be smashed open, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose above the earthen fort.

Immediately, more than a dozen streams of white smoke poured down, scalding nearly 100 people in Wangjiazhai, and the fierce offensive of the Zhaiding was stopped.

At the beginning of the capture of this earthen fort, Liu Jun asked the daughters of the Liu family to boil water, and sure enough, when they encountered a fierce attack, they poured more than a dozen pots of boiling water down, and immediately killed the sharp spirit of the Wangjia Zhaiding.

However, the firewood and water sources in the fort are limited, and it is obviously impossible to repel the attack of Zhaiding.

Seeing Zhai Ding continuing to attack after a period of chaos, Liu Jun couldn't help but feel anxious, and secretly called out why Liu He hadn't come back yet?

Why didn't the fire in Wangjiazhai attract the attention of Jinling?

Liu Jun didn't know that Liu He was dead, and he didn't know that although Liu He did not escape and went to Jinling for help, there was a group of men and horses rushing to Wangjiazhai, which was the remnant of Yangzhou who had left Runzhou.

Xu Jingye led the Yangzhou army and nearly 2,000 civil and military officers to leave Runzhou less than 20 miles, and the front Tanma reported that a team of four or five thousand people was rushing in the direction of Runzhou, suspected to be Wuzhou military horses.

Suddenly the Yangzhou army was very nervous.

Tang Ao invited himself as a pioneer officer with the official position of Huangmen Squire, and Xue Chang, as his deputy general, said with a solemn face: "Lord Tang, is it a soldier of Jinling Mansion?" Li Xiaoyi is missing one of the three, and Jinling is also a dead end? ”

When Tang Ao told Yan Zixuan and others to leave Runzhou, he saw with his own eyes that as Yan Zixuan and others flew overseas from the direction of Yangzhou, there was also a rise in Jinling City.

He firmly believed that his judgment would not be wrong, Li Xiaoyi's three-way encirclement could be transformed into virtual and real, but the cultivators in the direction of Jinling would be mobilized, and the soldiers of Jinling Mansion would most likely stand still.

He can't use magic powers, but Tang Ao's eyes can also see things in the dark.

Riding on his horse, he looked at the terrain in the distance and said: "There is a narrow path pass ahead, you order three hundred soldiers to meet the enemy with your official to explore the truth and prepare more bows and crossbows." ”

When Xue Chang heard that there was a battle to fight, his face turned red with excitement, and he soon took three hundred crossbowmen to ambush Tang Ao on both sides of the trail pass.

When they were in ambush for less than a few dozen breaths, a soldier and horse really appeared in the night ahead, and Tang Ao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the color of this soldier and horse.

"It's not a Jinling Mansion soldier, there are many uneven swords, guns, arrows and shields, and the clothes are of various colors, so it's more like a bandit than an officer and soldier."

Tang Ao told Xue Chang beside him what he had seen.

Xue Chang gritted his teeth and sneered: "When did the bandits become so blatant? Lord Tang, it's better to rush and kill now, and ensure that a wave of arrows can make them collapse and escape. ”

Tang Ao waved his hand, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "General Xue is also a general, don't you know the importance of the ambush battle, you must wait for them to cross the pass before attacking, otherwise once the enemy stabilizes the formation, can we, the three hundred people, including the British Duke's Chinese army, withstand the collision of thousands of people on the other side?" ”

Xue Chang nodded and was taught, and pressed the evil spirit in his heart fiercely, the Yangzhou army suffered defeats all the way, and it had not tasted victory for a long time.

Even if the other party is a bandit, after defeat, it will also make the morale of the Yangzhou army higher.

After waiting for a while, more than half of this group had already walked through the pass of the trail, and Xue Chang heard Tang Ao's order, and immediately roared.

The bows and crossbows in the hands of the three hundred Yangzhou troops were fired in unison, and the enemy who was ambushed was suddenly in chaos.

The master of the second village has been in Wangjiazhai for a long time, but he has never experienced a major battle, and he does not know anything about the art of war.

The lord of the second village thought that it would be enough to lead these four or five thousand people to wander around outside Runzhou City, anyway, it was for the Lord Thorn Shi and the imperial court in Jinling City to see, and he didn't think that there would really be a battle.

Moreover, these fugitives who were forcibly pulled into Ding, under the blow of a rain of arrows, frightened them into fear.

What frightened them even more was that the soldiers of Yangzhou wore red robes and armor, which was no different from the legendary officers and soldiers.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and suddenly lost their strength, and under the coercion of Wangjiazhai, they fought bandits and fought the official army, which are completely two completely different concepts.

Therefore, when Tang Ao led the three hundred Yangzhou troops to rush down, two-thirds of the four or five thousand people fell to their knees and begged to surrender.

Tang Ao didn't have time to think about why the combat effectiveness of this group of people was so low, he was quickly attracted by a group of hundreds of people fleeing.

gave Xue Chang 200 people to guard the beggars, and by the way, Xu Jingye, who informed the Chinese army, to come over and deal with it as soon as possible, and he chased after him with a hundred crossbowmen.

The second village master was frightened after engaging with the Yangzhou army, the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, the roars and shouts of the Yangzhou army soldiers, and the battle array he imagined was very different.

Immediately turned the horse's head and took the Zhaiding of Wangjiazhai to run back and forth.

Wang Er Mazi fled with the owner of the second village for a while, and inadvertently looked back, there were less than 100 people chasing behind him, and shouted: "The master of the second village, the other party has less than 100 people, we might as well fight back, otherwise how to explain to the master of the village after losing back to the village like this?" ”

The owner of the second village wanted to say that he would confess a fart, and they didn't come out to fight, but when he saw that there were less than 100 chasing soldiers as Wang Er Mazi said, there were four or five hundred Zhaiding around him.

Thinking that no matter how he fought, there was no reason for defeat, he immediately shouted to Zhai Ding to stop.

The villagers of Wangjiazhai stopped, but Tang Ao did not stop, and all the Yangzhou troops around Tang Ao had seen the demeanor of the 10,000 enemies that Tang Ao fought in battle.

also didn't take the four or five hundred Zhaiding in his eyes, and rushed to the foot of the Zhaiding formation like a gust of wind.

Tang Ao held an ordinary Mo knife in his hand, and with a sweep of the knife, he smashed the three Zhai Ding, although it was an ordinary weapon, it still erupted with astonishing lethality under his huge force.

Tang Ao tore apart the Zhaiding's position, Yangzhou soldiers slaughtered like wolves and tigers, and the two villagers were frightened by Tang Ao's brave eyelids, and fled again.

But this time he didn't escape a hundred steps before Tang Ao pulled him off from the horse, as for Wang Ermazi, who loyally protected and wanted to practice with Tang Ao twice, he was directly split by Tang Ao with a knife and died.

Tang Ao raised the second village master and shouted, and the villagers of Wangjiazhai saw that the second village master was captured, and the fighting spirit that had just been born immediately flew to the clouds, and they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Tang Ao was about to interrogate the prisoner in his hand, who was obviously the leader, when the fire rising in the distance made his heart tighten.

He could see the firelight, and the defenders in Jinling City could also see it, once the Jinling defenders were prepared to strengthen the strength of the ferry, it would be a hundred times more difficult for the Yangzhou army to transfer to Huainan Road.

The owner of the second village was lifted above his head by Tang Ao, but he didn't need Tang Ao to ask, he poured beans into the bamboo tube and explained everything.

When Tang Ao learned of the location of Wangjiazhai and the plan of the owner of Dazhai, his eyes couldn't help but light up, although he sympathized with the fugitives who might have been killed, but it was a good time for the Yangzhou army to replenish its strength.

After waiting for a short time, Xue Chang and Xu Jingye's Chinese army rushed to join Tang Ao with thousands of young men.

Tang Ao told Xu Jingye about the situation, and Xu Jingye and the others thought of going to Tang Ao together.

Wei Siwen said eagerly: "The top priority is to tell these captured young men the truth, with this second master of Wangjiazhai, the young men will believe that their relatives have been killed by the villagers of Wangjiazhai, and also ask Lord Tang to hurry up and seize Wangjiazhai, first, to save the family of Lord Liu Yansi, and second, to seize the ferry north before the Jinling defenders react." ”

Runzhou Sima Liu Yansi was a thin old man, and when he learned that the entire Liu family might be wiped out, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and begged Tang Ao to take him to Wangjiazhai together.

Tang Ao refused: "The matter has come to this point, what can Lord Liu do?" It's better to take the lead in this official, and maybe save a few of Lord Liu's families. ”

Wangjiazhai is a large earthen fort, in addition to the main fort there are more than ten small forts, the walled wall is comparable to the city wall of Runzhou.

Cheng Wuting volunteered, and Tang Ao also felt that Cheng Wuting had rich experience in siege, and the two immediately gathered 500 elite soldiers to go straight to Wangjiazhai.

At this time, the Wangjiazhai was in flames, and the flames that Liu Jun used as a beacon fire at first burned more and more fiercely with the help of the wind, and he was about to burn and devour the Liu family together.

The owner of the big village outside the small earthen fort laughed and mocked the Liu family for lifting a stone to hit his own feet, and now he doesn't have to order the village to be strong, or the Liu family will be burned to charcoal in half an hour.

The only thing he is worried about is not to let the fire expand, and to burn down the Wangjiazhai where he depends.

The laughter of the owner of the village did not fall, and a horn was heard in his ears, and then a loud noise came from the gate of the village.

Before he could stabilize his mind, a wave of arrows rained down and the villagers fell to the ground one after another.

I saw a young man holding a three-zhang long log with both hands on his waist, swinging and waving, and all the villagers were stoned to death and knocked away.

Behind the brave and invincible young man, a group of officers and soldiers wearing armor and armed with swords and guns killed in.
