Zhang Yue looked up, and the east camp fence was already on fire, the wind was howling, and the flames were flying. The camp was full of people, and the cries and shouts shook the sky. The refugees in the back couldn't squeeze out, they went on a rampage like headless flies, and the whole scene was completely out of control.

If you don't leave at this time, you will trap yourself in it, labor and management have done their best, go to the goddamn righteousness and bravery, whoever loves to go......

Zhang Yue, Xuan Chongwen and others rushed through the flat land outside the camp, and were about to descend the gentle slope, when they suddenly felt a light in front of them, and the heat wave was rolling in their faces, and two miles to the northeast, the pontoon bridge across the river had been lit with a sky-high fire, illuminating the surrounding area as bright as day. At the pier of the bridge by the river, shouts of killing were heard.

"You asked someone to do this?" Zhang Yue asked Xuan Chongwen with a shocked expression.

"No! Where is there anything that ignites fire? Can they do this? Xuan Chongwen was surprised and delighted, and the look on his face was very strange.

"Bad thing! The pontoon bridge caught fire and stopped the river, how to float down the river now? The Liao army can't cross the river and will go crazy, so they will chase us to death......" This matter was completely unexpected, and Zhang Yue's face became very ugly.

"If you can't go downstream, then go upstream, isn't there a fork in the river by the muddy river in the reeds?" Zong Jingcheng answered.

"Look...... The torches are lit at the mouth of the river fork, they don't seem to be our people......" Xuan Chongwen pointed to the distance, and vaguely guessed in his heart who those people were.

"Could it be...... Officers and soldiers? Let's go check it out! ”

Zhang Yue greeted and took the lead in rushing down the gentle slope. Everyone didn't care about the formation, and ran towards the light of the torches, when suddenly, a row of figures with guns and knives suddenly appeared in front of them, looking like a large hula la, about hundreds of people, blocking the way in front of them.

"Stop! Come this way! An undoubted low cheer sounded, and a dozen people in the front row approached.

Zhang Yue was puzzled, and was about to step forward to ask, but Xuan Chongwen grabbed him and signaled him not to be bored.

"Dare to ask you! But the brothers under the command of Bian Saburo? Xuan Chongwen stepped forward and bowed his hand to ask.

"Exactly! The big boss of my family has passed the order, look at you like this, isn't it the face of the owner of the village? Is there a token? A small leader stepped forward and looked at it, asking with some uncertainty.

Xuan Chongwen nodded, took out a small yellowed bamboo card from his arms and handed it over.

The little leader took it, looked at it, gave it back to him, and beckoned, "There is a quagmire here, you go after me, don't run around...... Just now, there were a lot of people who were disobedient, and they all fell into it, this black light is blind, and it is too troublesome to save people! ”

"River Loach Bian Saburo! Listening to this name, it seems to be a water bastard, is he very powerful? What is your relationship with him? Zhang Yue stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"That's a long story, you'll find out later!" Xuan Chongwen smiled bitterly.

Zhang Yue didn't ask any more questions, and the little leader led the way, and went around to the fork of the river, where he saw a few torches lit in front of him, and there were about eight or nine hundred people sitting in the open space, and they looked like they had just escaped from the Liao army camp. Yang Shouzhen and Xue Wenqian were walking around the crowd, seemingly counting points.

Half of the refugees escaped, and the young and strong basically came out, which is already a great luck. Zhang Yue saw the approximate number of people, so he didn't pay much attention to them, and turned to be full of curiosity about that Bian Saburo. It's a pity that the main owner didn't appear, but greeted a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young lady in Tsing Yi, followed by two sixteen or seventeen-year-old little maids.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Xuan! You've figured it out! The little sister is polite! ”

The little lady was tall, with bright eyes and bright teeth, beautiful and moving, wearing a set of cyan tight-fitting water backing, a thin pale yellow leather belt that tied her waist, hanging a short sword, and holding two bright crescent-shaped strange weapons in her hands. The two maids were also dressed in tight-fitting military uniforms with narrow sleeves of arrow clothes, and both carried swords in their hands.

"Haha...... Bian Xiaomei doesn't need to be polite, this is not a place to talk, your brother burned the pontoon? Did you do that the other day? Xuan Chongwen was not polite, and asked straight to the point.

"Yes! We sent a batch of salt to Raoyang, I heard that the Liao army had entered the Kou, and there was a pontoon bridge on the river that could not be crossed, and then I received an urgent letter from your trustee, so I waited here and did not return to Cangzhou. Bian Xiaomei's voice was soft and tactful, and her speed of speech was very fast, and she sounded like she had a different charm.

"It's no wonder, it's really lucky, that letter was actually delivered to the Deep State...... Not good! The Liao army is chasing out of the battalion, do you want to go over for reinforcements? ”

"No need, there are too many people over there and they will crowd into the quagmire, the Liao army actually chased after them, they are just waiting for the dumplings......" Bian Xiaomei said, gloatingly chuckling.

"Is there a lot of mud over there? Why don't we lure the enemy deep and trap them to death......" Zhang Yue heard it on the side, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and his brain started quickly.

These people attacked the Liao army in order to rescue Xuan Chongwen, and it happened that they and others escaped, and now that there is such a big movement, the Zhou army five miles away in the southeast must have been alarmed. Let them touch hard or have scruples, but they will definitely not lag behind when picking up cheap, and they can't say it, which is a big credit. It's just that the trouble is not big enough, and it has to be added to the fire.

"Ah...... I don't know! We'll find out when my brother comes back! ”

Bian Xiaomei subconsciously replied, only to find out that Zhang Yue was a stranger, and she was suddenly depressed to death, feeling that she was too honest, she couldn't help glaring at Zhang Yue, turned sideways with some embarrassment, and looked up at the rotten quagmire in the distance.

The torches shook there, the light was dim, and hundreds of Liao troops could be seen rushing down the gentle slope on horseback, and the speed suddenly increased, killing the hundreds of water robbers waiting on the bank of the river. It was a trap, and the water robbers waited for the Liao cavalry to rush closer, and at the sharp whistle, they turned and ran.

The Liao cavalry really rushed into the quagmire, the soldiers screamed in terror, and the horses began to roar and neigh and struggle, but the more they struggled, the faster they sank, and a large group of men and horses screamed in fear and despair.

This situation immediately made the cavalry behind frightened to rein in their horses, but the ones behind did not know, and they collided with each other, and those who had just reined in their horses in front were quickly squeezed down again, and the whole cavalry was completely chaotic.

The thieves and water thieves came back with a roar and attacked from the flank, and the Liao cavalry was already frightened, and lost the speed of their horses to charge, and finally retreated to the sound of the herald's horn. The water bandits cheered, but they did not dare to pursue, and collected the spoils amid the shouts and curses of the leader.

At this time, the pontoon bridge on the river downstream finally burned out, drifting down the river in sections, and the battle at the bridgehead pier was over, and the shouts of killing could no longer be heard.

The darkness before dawn has passed, the sky is beginning to glow with a hint of blue, and in the open space by the mouth of the river fork, Bian Xiaomei sent someone to take out dry food and distribute it to the refugees, Zhang Yue also got a share, and his belly was finally full.

Not long after, a fleet of boats came to the downstream river, full of young men armed with knives and guns, more than a dozen people wearing armor in the bow of the boat were very conspicuous, looking at the style was actually the standard equipment used by the Zhou army, but after the fierce battle, the armor on the body was mottled and full of blood.

In front of him was a tall, slightly dark young man in his twenties and thirties, his long hair was glued into wisps of coagulated blood, which looked messy, and the fine scale armor on his body was also large and broken, and he was carrying a large iron rod about five feet long, and he was the first to jump ashore, and the two swarthy halberds on his back sounded with the pace.

"The big boss is back!"

Someone shouted, and the water cowards who were sitting staggered and buzzing just now shut up in unison, stood up hulala, bowed their waists, and were more respectful than their fathers and mothers.
