It's night, it's night.

In the sound of hurried horses' hooves, more than 100 white lotus thieves galloped to the gate of the camp in the north of the city.

"Stop!" The White Lotus Sect soldier guarding the gate shouted, "Go any further and release the arrow!" ”

"Whew."

In the loud neighing of horses, the horse that was running in front pulled the reins of the horse fiercely, and the mount under the crotch suddenly stood up, and the cavalry that followed up reined in the reins of the horse and spread out to the two wings. ”

More than 100 cavalry flashed to both sides, and in the red firelight, Liu Badao rode forward.

"Three generals?"

"It's the three generals!"

The little leader of the White Lotus thieves guarding the gate suddenly shouted: "Brothers, open the gate quickly, it's the third general who is coming." ”

The White Lotus thieves had already rushed up, hurriedly opened the gate, and lowered the high suspension bridge, Liu Badao's eyes flashed a trace of cold murderous intent, and rode his horse across the suspension bridge to the camp, and more than 100 White Lotus cavalry behind him also poured in like a whirlwind.

After entering the gate, Liu Badao said to the little leader of the thieves who came to greet him: "What about Monk Zhang? ”

The little leader said: "In accordance with the decree of the Lord, it has been seen. ”

"Well done." Liu Badao said happily, "Let the generals above the battalion captain come here to assemble immediately!" ”

The military system of the White Lotus Thieves imitates the military system of the Illuminated Army, and there are differences, five people are in the team, ten people are in the army, ten people are in charge, one hundred people are in the team, one thousand people are the flag, the flag is the general, and the flag is above the general, so far, the White Lotus thief soldiers are only Li Qingshan, Yuan Shizhong, and Liu Badao three generals.

"Yes."

The little leader of the thieves said yes and took the order.

In less than a moment, the flag chief and captain in the north camp of the city were ordered to come to Liu Badao, and before these flag commanders and captains saluted, Liu Badao couldn't help but say: "In accordance with the decree of the sect master, take down all these traitors!" ”

Liu Badao gave an order, and more than 100 horsemen behind him rushed up, these more than 100 people are all elite soldiers in a hundred, plus they are unprepared, those flag commanders and captains are bare-handed and defenseless, after a short period of confusion, the scene quickly calmed down again, and the more than 50 flag commanders and captains have all been captured.

"Third General, what are you doing here?"

"We are not traitors!"

"Three generals, we have been wronged."

More than 50 flag commanders and captains were captured in a daze, and they didn't know what was going on when they died.

Speaking of which, this is the fatal flaw of the White Lotus Sect's control of the army, due to the lack of generals in the sect to lead the army, the White Lotus Sect Leader had no choice but to hand over the army to Li Qingshan, Yuan Shizhong and Liu Badao and others, but he was worried that the three of them would be big, so all the generals above the captain of the army were appointed by the White Lotus Sect Leader.

In fact, only the generals in the army who are truly loyal to the White Lotus Sect are the captains and banner commanders, while the small leaders below the rank of chief and the ordinary White Lotus Sect have no allegiance at all, and it doesn't matter whether they are the soldiers of the White Lotus Sect or Li Qingshan.

Whoever gives them food will give them their lives, it's that simple.

For this reason, the more than 100 White Lotus thieves guarding the gate did not dare to act rashly, and could only watch as the flag commanders and captains in the battalion were taken down by Liu Badao's people, and it was precisely because of this that Liu Badao would have nothing to fear, because as long as he cleaned up the generals above the squadron leader, he could basically wipe out the forces of the White Lotus Sect, and he could easily control the five thousand White Lotus elite soldiers stationed in the camp north of the city.

Liu Badao looked at the captain and the flag boss who knelt on the ground, a trace of hideous murderous intent flashed leisurely on his face, and said in a condensed voice: "In accordance with the decree of the sect master, these traitors will be ...... Rectify the Dharma on the spot! ”

"Wait!"

Liu Badao's voice fell, and a coquettish voice suddenly sounded from not far away, Liu Badao turned around, only to see the White Lotus Holy Aunt Bian Yujing walking out of the shadows vividly, at this time Bian Yujing was coquettish, staring at Liu Badao coldly, a beauty is a beauty, and her angry appearance is also extraordinarily coquettish.

"Stop, Third General, what are you doing here?"

Liu Badao turned a deaf ear to Bian Yujing's words, waved his raised right arm fiercely, and said fiercely: "Killed!" ”

"Rustling ......"

A terrifying cold light flashed, blood splashed under the night sky, more than fifty heads suddenly rolled to the ground, the heavy smell of blood soon spread in the camp, the thieves guarding the gate were stunned, Bian Yujing couldn't stop it, Jiao Jing was pale for a moment, her delicate body trembled with anger, and said in a trembling voice: "Liu Badao, do you want to betray the Holy Sect?" ”

"Hey, hey." Liu Badao laughed twice, stretched out his hand to Bian Yujing, and said coldly, "Take down this demon girl too!" ”

"Who dare!"

Bian Yujing drew his sword loudly, across his chest, and in the sound of hurried footsteps, fifty young male and female disciples in the sect had already poured out, protecting Bian Yujing, Bian Yujing turned to the more than 100 White Lotus thieves in the gate, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze? Don't take down these traitors yet! ”

More than 100 White Lotus thieves looked at each other, and no one dared to act rashly.

"Haha." Liu Badao looked up to the sky and laughed twice, and suddenly shouted, "Brothers, listen well, surround these demon men and demon women for Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes!"

More than 100 White Lotus thieves suddenly agreed, raised their swords together, and rushed forward one after another, surrounding Bian Yujing and the fifty disciples of the sect under her.

The reason why these White Lotus thieves will choose so much is very simple, although they are the guardians of the White Lotus Sect, but the sect leader and the holy aunt are too far away for them, just like the gods in the sky, and Liu Badao is their general, on the battlefield, he and the brothers fought bloody battles together, won the battle, he and the brothers ate meat and drank wine together, just by virtue of this, these White Lotus thieves are also more willing to follow Liu Badao.

Bian Yujing was stunned, she never thought that this would be the case.

At this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded from the gate: "Miss Yujing, you should believe it now, right?" You White Lotus Sect shouldn't have rebelled at all, because your control over the army is so bad! ”

"Who!?"

Liu Badao turned around, only to see that there was already an additional figure on the door, by obliquely inserting the torch on the gatehouse, that figure was faintly familiar, Liu Badao thought for a while, and then his face changed greatly, and hissed: "Wang Pu!?" ”

"Liu Badao." Wang Pu said coldly, "It seems that you haven't made much progress in the past year or so." ”

"Wang Pu!" Liu Badao said angrily, "Don't be too arrogant, you will die today." ”

"Haha." Wang Pulang smiled, "Saying that you haven't grown up or have lifted you up, it seems that you are really stupider than a pig!" Don't you think it's strange that you're killing and taking people here, and you've made such a big commotion, but the army in the big camp hasn't reacted at all? ”

"Huh?"

Liu Badao was shocked, only then did he realize that the situation was not good, it is said that there was such a big movement here, the soldiers in the camp should have been alarmed a long time ago, why has there been no reaction so far? There are only two possibilities, one is that the soldiers in the camp have already been transferred, and the other is that they have been controlled!

Whatever the case is, it's not good news for Liu Badao.

"Withdraw!"

Liu Badao realized that the situation was not good, and quickly ordered a retreat, but unfortunately it was too late.

In the hurried and chaotic footsteps, the dotted torches have emerged from all around the camp, and in the shadows of the fire, the black and oppressive officers and soldiers have been killed from all directions, and the musketeers who rushed in front can't help but say that the rows of guns are bombarded, and the rows of guns are full of loose guns.

Sanzi's range is short, and it will not accidentally injure the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, but the barrage that can be formed can cause great damage to the thieves in the middle!

More than 100 thieves brought by Liu Badao were hit one after another, each of them was hit by at least dozens of scorching iron sand, and more than half of the thieves fell to the ground in an instant, wailing in pain, Liu Badao was also hit by dozens of iron sand, and his two eyes were also blind, and he fell in a pool of blood with his head in his hands.

The musketeers quickly crouched down on the spot after firing, and the pikemen who followed up rushed forward noisily, the circular encirclement shrank smaller and smaller, and the overlapping gun forest became denser and denser, in front of such a dense spear forest, there was no dead angle to hide at all, and the remaining twenty or so thieves were stabbed to death without any resistance.

■■■

When the child is in the country, the Wuli Bridge.

The 30,000 White Lotus thieves led by Yuan Shizhong had already taken advantage of the night to touch the periphery of the official army camp, and looked from afar, only to see that the official army camp was pitch black, and there was not even a torch on the gate, only a trace of fire faintly revealed in the Chinese army tent in the middle of the camp, and the whole camp was as silent as death.

The 30,000 thieves had scattered in all directions, surrounding the entire official and military battalion.

Under the night sky, Yuan Shizhong looked at Song Xiance beside him, and suddenly turned over and knelt on the ground: "The last general, Yuan Shizhong, knock on the Song military division!" ”

"General Yuan." Song Xiance, who was wearing Liu Banxian, hurriedly stepped forward to help Yuan Shizhong, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Song Junshi." Yuan Shizhong said sincerely, "Don't hide it anymore, the last general knows that you are the deputy military division of Song under King Chuang, and the last general has long wanted to take his brothers to serve King Chuang, but he has been suffering from no chance, and today he finally has to meet the military division, and ask the military advisor to help introduce him." ”

Song Xiance saw that Yuan Shizhong's attitude was sincere, not like a fake, and then calculate the time, Li Yan's three thousand elite soldiers were about to arrive, so he stepped forward to help Yuan Shizhong up, and said loudly: "General Yuan has good eyesight, how did you see it?" ”

Yuan Shizhong said: "The last general has long heard that there is a Song military division under the command of King Chuang, who is like a god and has unpredictable talents, and only a master like Song Junshi can come up with such a careful plan, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the White Lotus Sect have become King Chuang's men and horses in a blink of an eye, and even Wang Pu, who has experienced a hundred battles, has fallen into the calculation of the military division. ”

"Huh." Song Xiance said happily, "General Yuan, if you can really capture Wang Pu alive tonight, you should take the first credit, and this army division will definitely show you merit in front of King Chuang." ”

Yuan Shizhong couldn't help but say, "Thank you, military advisor." ”

"Report ......" Yuan Shizhong's voice fell, and suddenly a cronie came to report, "General, a large number of unknown troops have been found in the northwest direction, and they are rushing to this side, and they are less than three miles away from Wuli Bridge!" ”

"Unidentified troops?" Yuan Shizhong lost his voice and said, "Could it be the official army?" ”

"General Yuan doesn't have to be nervous." Song Xiance smiled, "That's not an official army, it's General Li Yan's army." ”

"General Li Yan?" Yuan Shizhong was stunned and said, "General Li Yan also came to Chuzhou?" ”

"Hahaha." Song Xiance smiled and said, "Now that the division doesn't have to hide General Yuan, General Li Yan and the division came to Chuzhou this time, not only for the hundreds of thousands of troops of the White Lotus Sect, but also to defeat the entire Jiangnan and provide sufficient money and food for King Chuang's army." ”

"I see." Yuan Shizhong hit the knot and said, "The last general is willing to be the vanguard." ”

■■■

When he was a child, the Chuzhou White Lotus Sect was in charge.

Under the dark night sky, countless black shadows emerged from the shadows like ghosts, and pressed towards the gate

On the gate, the White Lotus thieves who were in charge of the night vigil suddenly became alert, and they all pulled their bows and arrows, aiming at the approaching group of black shadows, and the small leader led by shouted: "Who? Arrows are released further on! ”

"Whoosh!"

The answer to the little head was a sharp arrow, which accurately pierced the throat of the little leader, and the little leader fell from the gate without snorting, and fell to the ground without a sound.

"Whoosh ......"

Before the White Lotus thieves on the gate came back to their senses, a dense rain of arrows had already rained from all around, and more than a dozen White Lotus thieves guarding the gate fell down in an instant, and the remaining few White Lotus thieves suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Come on, come on, come on, ......."

The White Lotus Sect Master was woken up from her sleep, and before she could get dressed, a female disciple rushed in in a panic and said in a lost voice: "Master, it's not good......

"What's wrong?" The White Lotus Sect Leader said in a condensed voice, "Speak slowly. ”

"Officers and soldiers." The female disciple said in a panic, "The official army has entered the city, and now they are besieging Xingyuan." ”

"Nonsense." The White Lotus Sect Master said categorically, "This is absolutely impossible. ”

"But......," the female disciple said hurriedly, "but there are really people besieging Xingyuan." ”

"Pass the order." The White Lotus Sect Master immediately said, "All the disciples retreat to the tower. ”

At this time, there were less than fifty disciples and more than 200 cronies and thieves around the White Lotus Sect Master, fortunately, the White Lotus Sect Master's line was set up in a temple in Chuzhou City, and there was a high tower in the temple, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

■■■

When the child is in the country, the Wuli Bridge.

Li Yan's 3,000 elite soldiers finally arrived in time, and immediately launched an attack on the official army camp after the two roads converged, surprisingly, there was no one in the official army camp, and Yuan Shizhong's 5,000 thieves entered the camp without much effort, and went straight to Wang Pu's Chinese army tent.

Yuan Shizhong split open the big tent of the Chinese army with a knife, only to see that the torches in the tent were bright, and more than a dozen "people" were raising bowls and drinking, but unfortunately it was only a dozen scarecrows wearing armor.

Only a huge wooden sign was erected in the middle of the big tent, and a few lines of eye-catching characters were written on the wooden card: "Brother Li Yan, when you were in Datong Mansion, you borrowed grain and wages from me, and borrowed weapons and horses, saying that it was to replace the king, why did you go to Jiangnan to grab land with me?" ”

Yuan Shizhong's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked people to wrap the wooden plaque with a tarpaulin, and then personally sent people to Li Yan.

Li Yan and Song Xiance, who were outside the camp, had already realized that the situation was not good, and when they saw Yuan Shizhong, the two of them asked in unison, "General Yuan, how is the situation inside?" ”

"There's not even a ghost in there." Yuan Shizhong pointed to the wooden sign wrapped in a tarpaulin behind him, and said in a low voice, "I only saw this in Wang Pu's big tent of the Chinese army." ”

"What's that?" Li Yan said loudly, "Open." ”

"This ......" Yuan Shizhong looked around and wondered, "General, is it a step to speak?" ”

Li Yan frowned for a moment, and said coldly: "Open!" ”

Yuan Shizhong had no choice but to stretch out his hand and pull open the tarpaulin covering the wooden sign, and by the light of the fire, Li Yan, Song Xiance and the red lady behind the two, Li Hu, Li Xuan, Jing Maocheng, the leopard in the mountains and the dozens of thieves and elite soldiers gathered around could see the handwriting on the wooden sign.

Including Song Xiance, everyone's faces changed, only Li Yan looked as usual, and said abruptly: "Such a lame divisive plan, only Wang Pu can think of it." ”
