In the city of Chuzhou, the White Lotus Sect is in action.

The White Lotus Sect Master and the more than 100 surviving cronies had retreated to the tower, Li Qingshan's people had already surrounded the five-story tower, and the White Lotus Sect Master stood on the tower and looked down, only to see that the surrounding squares were full of black and oppressive White Lotus thieves, and the blazing fire almost illuminated the night sky.

"Li Qingshan!" The White Lotus Sect Leader found Li Qingshan from the chaotic army and shouted, "What do you want to do? ”

"What for?" Li Qingshan smiled and said in a cruel voice, "Liu Qingyan, today next year is your taboo!" ”

Liu Qingyan is the name of the White Lotus Sect Master, few people know it, and no one dares to call her name directly, Li Qingshan's direct call by her name can be said to be a great rebellion, the White Lotus Sect Leader Liu Qingyan raised his eyebrows in an instant, and said sharply: "Li Qingshan, don't you want to live, don't forget the poison on your body!" ”

"Haha." Li Qingshan looked up to the sky and snorted, "Don't treat everyone else as an idiot, there is no such poison in this world, Lao Tzu is not poisoned at all, only the antidote you give regularly is the real poison, hum!" ”

Liu Qingyan said in a condensed voice: "It seems that you are determined to betray the Holy Sect?" ”

Li Qingshan said coldly: "You can also say that." ”

Liu Qingyan's beautiful eyes turned to the black and oppressive white lotus thieves around the tower, and shouted: "Soldiers of the Holy Army of the Guardian Sect, you are all the most devout believers of the Holy Sect, and this seat knows that you were only coerced by Li Qingshan, a traitor, and today as long as you repent and take down Li Qingshan's rebellion, today's incident will not be blamed in the past." ”

The White Lotus thieves around were indifferent, and no one responded to Liu Qingyan's call at all.

Li Qingshan laughed and said: "Liu Qingyan, don't bother with scheming, just because the few people you installed also want to control Lao Tzu's army?" Dream on you! Let's tell you the truth, Brother Badao has already taken people to the camp in the north of the city to take over the five thousand elite soldiers, and Brother Shizhong has also led the army to Wuli Bridge to arrest your officers and soldiers, today, even the gods can't save you! ”

Liu Qingyan's expression was miserable, if things were really like what Li Qingshan said, it would really be unfortunate.

"Someone." Li Qingshan turned around and shouted, "Heap firewood, burn it for Lao Tzu, and let the demon men and women on the tower go to the world to see their lifeless old mother." ”

"Yes!"

Hundreds of white lotus thieves responded violently, holding bundles of firewood and hugging them, piled up around the bottom of the tower, and some thieves were holding buckets of fire oil poured on the firewood, Li Qingshan took the torch from a thief soldier, looked up at Liu Qingyan on the tower, and said with regret: "Liu Qingyan which Liu Qingyan, it's a pity that you are such a big beauty." ”

"Whoosh!"

Li Qingshan was about to throw the torch forward, and when he threw it on the firewood, he only heard a whooshing sound, and a sharp arrow swept from behind him, Li Qingshan instinctively shrank his neck, and a wolf's tooth arrow had already passed by his head, taking away half of his right ear, Li Qingshan suddenly screamed, the torch fell to the ground, and he hurriedly covered his right ear with both hands.

"Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

Overwhelming shouts of killing rang out from all directions.

Li Qingshan Huo Ran turned around, only to see that on the high wall in the distance, the White Lotus Holy Aunt Bian Yujing was holding her bow and arrows, and another arrow was shot over.

Li Qingshan dodged in a hurry and shouted, "What's the matter? Where did this little demon girl come from? ”

"General!" Soon, the leader of the thieves hurriedly ran over, gasping and said, "General, it's not good, there are a lot of officers and soldiers around Xingyuan, and there are good ...... Many brothers of the Holy Sect were killed with the official army...... Killed, we're ...... surrounded. ”

"Officers and soldiers?" Li Qingshan shouted, "This is impossible. ”

No wonder Li Qingshan didn't believe it, at this time, Yuan Shizhong's 30,000 troops should have rushed to Wuli Bridge and surrounded Wang Pu, where did the officials and troops come from in Chuzhou City?

"Will ...... General, really...... It's really an officer and a soldier. The little leader of the thieves gasped, "You can't be wrong. ”

"." Li Qingshan indiscriminately tore off a piece of battle robe and wrapped it around his injured right ear, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, listen well, burn this tower, and then break through to the east with Lao Tzu, go to Wuli Bridge to meet the second general's brigade, and kill ......."

Li Qingshan gave an order, and some thieves threw torches forward, and the firewood piles piled up around the tower were burned, Li Qingshan drew his sword and led it eastward, and thousands of white lotus thieves were chaotically covering in the direction of the east gate.

■■■

East of Chuzhou City, Wuli Bridge.

The two armies were empty, and the Wuliqiao camp was an empty camp at all, Li Yan and Song Xiance did not dare to be careless, and were gathering together to urgently discuss countermeasures.

Song Xiance said: "General Li Yan, you know Wang Pu well, where do you think he will go?" Is it possible to find that the wind is not in the right direction, and fled back to Puzikou overnight to join the officers and soldiers of the brigade? ”

"No, it won't." Li Yan muttered, "With the last general's understanding of Wang Pu, he must have other intentions when he came to Chuzhou, if he escapes back to Puzikou overnight to join the officers and soldiers of the brigade, it will mean that the previous achievements have been lost, therefore, the last general dares to assert that Wang Pu will never flee back to Puzikou." ”

"Oh?" Song Xiance said in a condensed voice, "The general is so sure? ”

Li Yan said categorically: "The last general is sure!" ”

Song Xiance asked, "If Wang Pu hadn't fled back to Puzikou, where would he be now...... Ahh ”

"Not good!"

Li Yan and Song Xiance shouted almost at the same time: "Chuzhou! ”

Soon, Yuan Shizhong hurried to the two of them, and gasped: "Military division, general, hurry up, Wang Pu and the White Lotus Sect have colluded with each other to seize Chuzhou City, and Li Qingshan's thousands of elite soldiers have been defeated." ”

"Damn!" Li Yan sighed, "The chess is one move, the chess is one move!" ”

Song Xiance's expression was gloomy, and he muttered: "After Wang Pu's official army left the Wuliqiao camp unknowingly, they must have gone to the camp in the north of the city, and they controlled five thousand elite soldiers before Liu Badao!" Liu Badao was afraid that he was already more than lucky, and then Wang Pu returned to Chuzhou and defeated Li Qingshan's army...... This series of actions is ahead of us step by step, General Li Yan, don't you think it's a little weird? ”

Li Yan frowned and said, "Strategist, what do you mean by this?" ”

"There's only one possibility." Song Xiance said in a deep voice, "That is, Wang Pu already knew our overall plan in advance, otherwise, it would be difficult to reasonably explain everything that happened tonight!" ”

"You mean......" Li Yan said in a condensed voice, "There are annihilators among our rebels?" ”

"It must be so." Song Xiance said, "There are not many people who know the overall plan, only me, Li Qingshan, Liu Badao and General Yuan know the details, what about you?" ”

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "In addition to the last general, there are also Li Hu, Li Xuan, Jing Maocheng and the leopard in the mountains who know the whole plan, but the last general can guarantee that these four people will never betray the rebels!" ”

"Strategist." Yuan Shizhong hurriedly said, "I'll check the matter later, what should I do now?" ”

"Go back to Chuzhou." Song Xiance said categorically, "Take advantage of Wang Pu's unstable foothold to take Chuzhou back." ”

"Strategist." Li Yan suddenly said, "There is also the camp in the north of the city, and the last general is willing to lead a partial division to capture the camp in the north of the city." ”

"Good idea." Song Xiance's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said happily, "You take the musket team with you." ”

Chuzhou, the White Lotus Sect.

When Wang Pu and Bian Yujing arrived with their troops, the bottom and second floors of the entire tower had been completely caught in flames, but fortunately, the main body of the tower was a masonry structure, and there was no danger of collapse for the time being, but it was impossible to extinguish the fire.

In desperation, Wang Pu had no choice but to ask the soldiers to transfer a large amount of hay from the hay room and pile it together, and then let the people on the tower jump down, and in the end, only the White Lotus Sect leader Liu Qingyan and more than a dozen male and female disciples were rescued, and the rest were either killed by the smoke, or they did not jump onto the haystack and fell to their deaths.

Bian Yujing rushed forward and picked up the grizzled White Lotus Sect Master from the haystack.

Wang Pu didn't care about the state of mind of the White Lotus Sect Leader and Bian Yujing at this time, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, withdrew from Chuzhou from the north gate, and set a fire before leaving, burning all the grain and grass in the line, this will not be the time in Datong, since they can't take away these grains, they can't be left to Li Yan and them.

Wang Pu didn't want to stay and defend Chuzhou City, but he knew that it was impossible to defend Chuzhou at this time.

The five thousand White Lotus thieves in the north camp of the city were panicked, and they used them to bluff and scare Li Qingshan, a brainless reckless man, but it was not good to use it to deal with Li Yan and Song Xiance, the leaders of the thieves who had experienced a hundred battles, Wang Pucai would not pin his hopes on these five thousand thief soldiers.

Maybe Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong shouted outside the city gate, and they could make this group of thieves mutiny in front of the formation, after all, these thieves were all selected from Li Qingshan, Yuan Shizhong, and Liu Badao's army, and once the wind was not in the right direction, it was entirely possible for them to fall back to Li Qingshan.

These 5,000 thieves are not at ease to use, but they can't be allowed to defect to the enemy camp again, so the safest way is to let Monk Zhang take them out of the city, and escape far away before the enemy army has caught up!

Without these 5,000 thieves, Wang Pu would only have 500 officers and soldiers left, although Monk Zhang also drew 200 people from his 500 veterans to support Wang Pu, but it was obviously too difficult to hold Chuzhou with just 700 people! Seven hundred men were scattered across the four walls, with only a few hundred men in each direction, and the strength was too weak.

Therefore, the wisest choice is to withdraw from Chuzhou, defend the camp in the north of the city, and wait for Zhao Xin's army to come and converge.

After leaving the north gate, Wang Pu and Monk Zhang immediately divided into two roads, Wang Pu led 700 officers and troops to the north camp of the city, and Monk Zhang led 5,000 white lotus thieves to the west, of course, to avoid Li Yan's thieves and Li Qingshan, Yuan Shizhong's white lotus thieves.

In order to conceal his whereabouts, Wang Pu strictly ordered that torches should not be lit, and the whole army traveled in the dark.

Under the dark night sky, another army is also tiptoeing towards the north camp of the city in the night, the two armies are advancing in parallel at a distance of more than 100 steps, this army is the 3,000 elite soldiers led by Li Yan, in order not to expose their whereabouts, Li Yan also strictly ordered the whole army not to light torches.

At this critical time, the advantages and disadvantages of the equipment actually played an unexpected counterproductive role.

Because it was a dark march, it was inevitable to encounter ditches and bumps on the road, and the officers and men of the two armies would inevitably fall with blue noses and swollen faces.

Li Yan's rebels were equipped with arquebuses, and the arquebuses were extinguished when they were marching, and they would only light the arquebuses when they were fighting, so no matter how miserable they were, they would not go off.

And Wang Pu's officers and soldiers are equipped with flintlock pistols, although the bolts are closed when marching, even if the gun is dropped on the ground, it is unlikely to go off, and the veterans are also very careful, even if they fall, they will protect the gun well.

But there is an old saying, walking too much at night will inevitably meet ghosts.

If you fall too much, you will inevitably go off.

When the veteran picked up the musket, the bolt was pressed down, and the flint on the nose rubbed the baffle on the baffle, and suddenly a ball of white light burst out, only to hear the sound of "boom", and a dazzling red light suddenly bloomed under the night sky, and it went off.

Suddenly, the two armies that were advancing came to a halt almost simultaneously.

It is said that it was Wang Pu's official army who went crazy, and it seems that the unlucky ones should also be the official army, but this is not the case, because at this time there was another scene with the surname of the drama!

The three thousand righteous troops under Li Yan are also well-trained elite soldiers, and their reaction speed is very fast, as soon as the officers and soldiers here go out of the fire, they ignited the fire twists at the fastest speed, and lit the fire rope on the bolt one after another, this is good, thousands of fire twists suddenly ignited under the dark night sky, like a ghost fire dotted with stars, stretching a piece!
