"What's the matter, Xiang'an is close to the village, what's wrong?" Huang Wending asked impatiently.

"Cough, what's wrong, my brother said don't make trouble, and my brother didn't go in, just watched from a distance, and the sound of chickens and dogs in the village was heard, nothing unusual!"

After all, Lao Liang did not receive special reconnaissance training, only looking at the appearance, naturally did not see anything unusual, for example, in the villages, no one from the old and young women and children walked outside, and the young and strong always remained vigilant even when they were outside. This at least proves that the news of their gang of thieves approaching has reached here.

No matter how cunning Huang Wending was, he couldn't help but be misled by the news that Lao Liang brought back, and when he learned that there was nothing unusual, he was in good spirits, and his original worries were alleviated a lot.

"Very good, very good!" He stroked his hand and said: "Everyone, give the order, speed up, Xiang'an Town is not small, if it can be broken, let's have a good life here, children and gold silk, you can grab as much as you want!" ”

Along the way, they plundered and destroyed two villages, which was just a drop in the bucket for the rioters who were aroused by all kinds of sabotage. Hearing that they could go to Xiang'an to let go of the looting, they immediately raised their morale: "Brothers, rob gold, silver, and girls!" ”

With this morale, the journey of less than ten miles was really nothing, and in an hour or so, they came to the bank of the West River and began to look for a boat to cross the river.

Huang Wending was smart, and did not cross the river directly in Xiang'an, but chose Meijiadu, a few miles away from Xiang'an. When they attacked Meijiadu, they found that there was no one in this riverside village, and they were in a hurry to leave, and it was obvious that their whereabouts were still discovered.

"The fires in the stove are all burning, and it hasn't been long since they left!" One person reported to Huang Wending.

"Find the boat, find the boat, and cross the river immediately before they know our purpose!"

At this point, Huang Wending knew that even if Yu Youhu got the news and was prepared, he could only attack, otherwise he would retreat at this time, and most of his men would only flee.

There are a lot of Meijia ferries, two larger ferries, plus some fishing boats, can transport more than 100 people across the river at the same time. Huang Wending asked Lao Liang to cross the river with dozens of people first, and when he saw that there was no reaction on the other side, he officially assigned manpower. The West River is not wide, the water is also stable, and it is not even half an hour to go back and forth, and the real delay is to get on and off the boat. About two o'clock in the morning, they had already crossed about two-thirds of the time, and at this time, Huang Wending also stepped on the ground on the other side.

Seeing him coming, Lao Liang said with a smile: "Brother Wending, let's go over first, shall we?" ”

"What's in a hurry, it's ...... to be one step earlier or one step later"

Speaking of this, suddenly, Huang Wending's heart throbbed, and he suddenly looked up to the east.

To the southeast is the town of Xiang'an, and by the starlight, you can vaguely see the outline of the town. Huang Wending looked in that direction for a while, and the uneasiness in his heart was even greater.

It's so quiet, there's not even a little fire in the town!

"No, no......"

At this time, Huang Wending had realized that he might have fallen into a trap, but he was unwilling to let him retreat and give up this opportunity to fight more and less. In his heart, he always had a fluke mentality, and felt that with his nearly 2,000 people, there should be no problem in attacking Yu Guozhen, who was only in his early 300s.

At most, the coerced rebels were more seriously wounded, but anyway, after defeating Yu Guozhen, he could summon more such rebels.

With this in mind, he made up his mind.

"Let the latter cross the river quickly, don't delay, we can go to Xiang'an City to grab gold and silver and play with women by ourselves, don't wait for them." He ordered.

The boats were all heading back, and just as the other side was beginning to load the boats again, suddenly, along the river to the south, several fires rose into the sky!

The fire instantly grew bigger, illuminating the night sky transparently, and in the midst of the fire, there were countless shadows. These people were silent, standing solemnly, looking extremely strange.

"There's an ambush!" Some of the rioters who had been coerced screamed.

"What are you afraid of, it's just pretending to be a god and making a ghost, there are many of us, even if there are really ghosts and gods, we will slaughter them today!" When Huang Wending saw the enemy appear, his heart settled down, and he said sharply: "Everyone is ready to ......"

Just as he was about to shout and kill, suddenly a big man came out of the fire on the other side, carrying a pole in his hand, and two round things hung from the pole.

"Huang Wending, this is a gift from a junior official in my family, send someone to get it!"

Huang Wending was stunned, the other party actually knew his name!

Nearly 2,000 of them arrived in the realm of Wuwei, and their whereabouts could not be concealed, but the other party even knew the name of his leader, which proved that the other party knew his details!

His gaze involuntarily stopped at the two round things hanging from the pole head: "That's ...... First result? ”

His men were full of rabble, and naturally there was no such thing as a mountain of motion, and when he saw the big man stick his pole on the ground and retreated, some people squeezed forward to see what the gift was.

Seeing this scene, Huang Wending knew that something was wrong, no matter whose first achievement the gift was, it might cause unpredictable consequences to his subordinates, so he immediately shouted: "Chong, rush!" ”

"Kill, kill!"

His cronies all shouted, encouraging the traitors and rebels to rush towards each other together, although they couldn't see how many people there were on the other side, but they didn't think it would exceed three hundred, and they had already crossed the river with more than 1,200 people, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with three hundred.

However, in the past few days of looting, Huang Wending's cronies have been robbed, and he is no longer the penniless poor man he was at the beginning. As soon as people have money, they will spare their lives, and at this time, they themselves rush forward less, and most of them are behind urging those rebellious people who are eager to make meritorious deeds and plunder to move forward.

At their urging, the rebels began to rush forward, but at that moment the man threw a torch over, and a haystack under the bamboo pole he had just erected was immediately set on fire, and with the light of the fire, the heads of the two men were clearly illuminated.

"Ahh

Someone who knew these two heads immediately screamed.

Even Huang Wending couldn't help but exclaim, he didn't see it clearly, but now he recognized it at a glance, these two heads were Zhang Ru and Wang Guohua!

"The leaders of the Tongcheng thieves, Zhang Ru and Wang Guohua, are here, Huang Wending, only you are missing!" The big man sneered and said, "Aren't you sworn as righteous brothers, now is the time to die together!" ”

"Fake, fake, don't believe them, it must be fake, the two generals Zhang Wang are in Tongcheng, how could they die in their hands?" Huang Wending shouted hoarsely.

"My petty officials ran for 200 miles in one night, and the night you left Tongcheng, you attacked the city and killed the two thieves Zhang and Wang." The big man on the opposite side sneered again: "My little official said that the first evil will be punished, and the coercion will avoid death!" ”

"The first evil will be punished, and the coercion will avoid death!"

The people behind the big man suddenly shouted in unison, and the sound shook so that the feet of the thieves seemed to tremble!

"Don't listen to them, capture Xiang'an ......" Huang Wending was still trying to stabilize the situation, but at this time, in addition to the hundreds of people who were coerced to join on the road, everyone who had seen Zhang Ru and Wang Guohua had already recognized these two first achievements.

Originally, the reason why the thieves were so rampant was that they easily captured Tongcheng, and there were more accomplices in Tongcheng. But now that he knows that Tongcheng is gone, his accomplices are dead, where is the courage, and he doesn't even have the calmness to distinguish the situation.

Most of the thieves were rioters, and when they were all bold, they could only kneel on the ground and tremble when they had no courage but to flee like flies without a head. With just two heads, the military formation that the thieves barely managed to maintain was completely dispersed, and many people ran blindly.

Huang Wending knew that if it was really messy at this time, then he would be completely finished, and he said sharply: "Rush with me, rush with me!" ”

While shouting, he took the lead in rushing forward, and his guards also rushed up, and more than 100 people attacked, but some chaotic people who couldn't react also rushed to the other side.

But at this moment, behind them, there was a fierce killing sound.

"Huang Wending, Yu Guozhen is here, take your life!"

Yu Guozhen shouted, this cheer echoed in the night, which made him feel that he had a bit of the majesty of Zhang Fei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

With this shout, the sound of gongs sounded in the darkness around them, and torches were lit one by one, and as far as the eye could see, not only on this side of the river, but also on the other side of the river, there was a stream of torches. With so many torches, no one knows how many there were!

The little morale brought up by Huang Wending's personal charge also collapsed suddenly, and even his personal guards were shaken, and many people also wanted to escape, he killed the two people on the horse, but it was useless at all.

"Yu Guozhen, I will kill you!"

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Huang Wending said angrily.

"Brother Wending, now I have fallen for this thief's annihilation plan, stay in the green mountains, and I am not afraid of no firewood!" Lao Liang was full of chagrin at this time, he had clearly reconnoitred in the nearby village, but he didn't see that the other party had an ambush, and now he is caught in this situation, but most of it is his responsibility!

Thinking of this, he grabbed Huang Wending's reins, pointed to the south and said: "I will fight a bloody road for my brother, and my brother will remember to avenge me!" ”

With that, he took a knife in each hand, and urged his horse to rush south. Now that the thieves were in a panic, as soon as he took the lead, a few horsemen followed, and the rest of the thieves also saw that there seemed to be no torches in the south, and there were fewer ambushes, so hundreds of people followed him to the south.

When Huang Wending saw this scene, he wanted to stop it, but a thought turned in his heart, he gritted his teeth, and let his words go back to his mouth.

So far in this battle, he knows that he has been suppressed by Yu Guozhen everywhere, although he is still unconvinced in his heart, he has to admit that Yu Guozhen is far more cunning than he originally thought. Therefore, he expected that the south side that seemed to have fewer ambushes, but he was afraid that it would be another trap, but in the northeast corner, don't look at the dense torches, but it is more likely to be a bluff "Yu Guozhen only has more than 300 people, this is for sure, he must be bluffing, but it is a pity that these chaotic people will collapse after a small setback, otherwise they will really fight, and the outcome is still undecided!" He thought to himself: "I am frustrated today, and I will return to Tongcheng to reorganize the people and make a comeback, this revenge will not be avenged, and I will not be a man!" ”
