May 5th, late at night, Yueqing City. The moon is as clear as water, the stars are scattered, the sky is as deep blue as the cold deep sea, and the light blue clouds seem to be faintly melancholy. After a while, the night was still covering layer by layer, and it would not fade until the morning star appeared.

Gongliang Xiaotian looked around arrogantly and said, "Fan Wenlong has gone, when will you let me enter Yueqing City?" ”

"There are still nearly 10,000 mobs in the city, the situation in Fuzhou is critical, it is not appropriate to waste time on pacifying the mob, it is better to get out of the north gate and expel them from Yueqing City."

The corners of Gongliang Xiaotian's mouth lifted, he seemed to smile, and said in a low voice: "There is nothing more reassuring than a dead person." He turned to look at a general beside him and asked, "General Ling, how much time will it take to give you 5,000 people?" ”

Ling Shi's face was frustrated, his eyes were expressionless, giving people a sense of perseverance and stubbornness.

Without hesitation, he replied, "Dawn will end everything." ”

Gongliang Xiaotian thought to himself: There is no news from Yuzhanling, and there is no change before noon when he wants to come to Fuzhou. Leng Ran said: "Even if there is a change in Fuzhou, my father will not deal with it, but tonight, General Ling, you can lead someone there." ”

Ling Shi clenched his fists and struck his chest, leading more than ten guards to lead the troops to the rear camp; The king snake tattoo on the right arm is especially hideous under the night moon.

Nearly 10,000 civilians in Yueqing City were forced to stay by the Fan family to assist in defending the city, the weak and frail have long been expelled from the city by the Fan family, and the people who stayed in the city are young and strong people, assisting the Fan family to defend the city for nearly ten years, and their personal combat power is stronger than that of ordinary villagers.

If Gongliang Xiaotian could drive more than 10,000 unarmed civilians out of the city and slaughter them in the open wilderness, it would naturally be effortless. Gongliang Xiaotian's arrogance made him disdain to deceive this group of lambs who seemed to be slaughtered, perhaps he would slaughter everyone in Yueqing City. The Puji army sent 1,000 troops to each of the four gates, and at the same time launched an attack on unarmed civilians.

At the four city gates, dozens of thick smoke rose up, and the flames were faintly seen rushing, and in a moment, the faint black smoke covered the moon and stars. The flames quickly spread into the city, and in less than half an hour, the slaughter was close to the inner city.

Under the butcher's knives of the Puji bandits, all the people who were running in wolves were forced into the inner city, and more than ten steps behind them were the pursy Puji soldiers who chased after them.

The Fan family added the inner city in the Yueqing city, in order to fight with Puji to a soldier, the inner city of dozens of pheasant scale was built with granite, the long bluestone, granite piled up, the exits of all four places were built quite narrowly, only allowing two horses to pass in parallel.

Desperate civilians frantically poured into the inner city, and the narrow entrances were jammed with desperate people.

Rows of Puji soldiers moved like a tide, advancing towards the inner fort city of Yueqing. The bloodthirsty war drums rang out, and the soldiers put down their bows and crossbows one after another, and drew their weapons to slash at the people crowded in the inner city. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, as if layers had been peeled off, and the crowd blocking the inner city quickly thinned.

The Puji Kou soldiers slaughtered all the people blocking the entrance, and were about to advance towards the inner city, but they were greeted by a rain of arrows.

Somewhere in the Yueqing Bureau, a small arsenal was forgotten there by the elite soldiers of the Fan family who hastily withdrew from Yueqing, and the frightened people took the blades, put the leather armor and leather mou on their bodies and heads, and ran towards the entrance of the inner city.

The Puji pirates were blocked from entering the narrow entrance to the inner city, and three or four hundred fierce civilians armed with various weapons formed a simple phalanx in front of the Puji soldiers, shooting dozens of Puji Kou with inaccurate arrows. Behind him were more than a thousand bare-handed sturdy men, waiting for someone in front of him to fall, and then picking up his weapons.

Suddenly, a man braved the rain of arrows on both sides, rushed forward, picked up several weapons from the ground and ran back, and in an instant, his back was full of sharp arrows, and he fell to the ground seven or eight steps away from his own formation, and the halberd, the simple knife, and the iron spear rolled down from his arms and scattered all over the ground. The man propped himself on the ground with one hand, struggled to raise his head, and shouted, "Kill one more thief for me." With that, he fell to the ground and stopped moving.

More than a dozen people rushed out, picked up weapons and joined the simple phalanx to fight the enemy.

Even as the light of day appeared, the Puji Kou soldiers still did not rush into the inner city.

Just south of Jizhai in Taishan, Wei Yan stood expressionlessly beside Ziyang Yalan, and behind him stood three hundred and sixty elites of the Qingjiang cavalry battalion.

Nearly 1,000 Baiyi elites were attached to the four-zhang high wall like leeches, and the rolling stones and trees were pouring down, and people kept falling down, instantly smashing the rolling stones and trees into a blurred mass of flesh and blood. In a moment, hundreds of soldiers poured onto the wall, fighting with the Puji soldiers guarding the wall

The war drums whispered deeply and powerfully, striking Wei Yan's heart one by one. Wei Yan suddenly pulled out his standard saber and snorted in a deep voice, but he couldn't hear what he was talking about. The three hundred and sixty warriors drew their sabers in unison, and then snorted, and the tragic color was dyed far and near. When the soldiers on the wall heard the sound, their morale was greatly boosted, the injuries and illnesses were all raised, and the fierce fighting on the battlefield suddenly intensified, and it was a tragedy.

The Qingjiang cavalry battalion and thousands of Baiyi soldiers converged in one place and rushed to the wall, before that, in order to wear off the sharp spirit of the soldiers, Baiyi had launched seven waves of offensives, and had lost nearly a thousand disciples.

Wei Yan was like a fierce tiger out of the sheng, and the soldiers of the Qingjiang cavalry battalion followed closely behind, and they boarded the wall in a moment, swords and halberds, and came one after another. Wei Yan roared sharply, and the sword light started, and the corpses fell, blood sprayed directly, and the clothes and armor were stained in an instant. The Baiyi soldiers on the walled wall were divided into pieces by the large number of Puji soldiers, and fought separately.

Suddenly, there was a stir on the left side, and a group of bloodied Baiyi soldiers hugged a general and burst towards them. Wei Yan waved his sword forward, and the Qingjiang cavalry battalion was divided into two wings to kill, and the team of men and horses was collected into his own phalanx.

Wei Yan's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen that the general was Zi Yangqiu's confidant Mingsu, there were pools of blood on his chest and abdomen, his face was pale, his breathing was faint, and his vitality was dead. Before Wei Yan grabbed it, Ming Su saw that it was Wei Yan, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth trembled, Wei Yan hurriedly leaned over and put his ear close to him, but no sound came out, and when he looked up, Ming Su was dead.

Wei Yan let out a miserable roar, swung his knife and snatched it out, and rushed to kill the enemy in many places. In a moment, the Baiyi warriors who were in their own formations gathered together and fought towards the walled gate, and thousands of Baiyi soldiers swarmed up the wall.

Seeing the gate open, Ziyang Yalan threw all the remaining 2,000 troops into the battlefield. The soldiers withdrew from the wall one after another, and retreated towards the inner wall like a tide. The Baiyi soldiers occupied the wall, and Wei Yan stood at the gate of the wall, looking coldly at the soldiers who were shrinking to the inner wall.

Ziyang Yalan's eyebrows knotted lightly, and after a hard battle, nearly a thousand Baiyi elites were injured, and if it was a street battle with Kou soldiers in the village with unfavorable superior forces, the loss would definitely not be light.

Wei Yan snorted coldly and said: "There are many bamboo buildings and wooden houses in the village, and this group of stupid people still want to fight against each other. Qingliu, you give me a wooden bow, see who can escape from the fire and taste my sharp arrows? ”

The rockets shot away, and Jizhai suddenly burst into flames. The soldiers who struggled out of the fire were shot by arrows from all around.

Looking at the Kou soldiers who were powerless to struggle in the sea of fire and arrows, he remembered all kinds of things, when he was rescued by Xu Ruyu at the head of Yongyang City, attacked and killed the slave hunting team alone in Wuling Mountain for several months, and was in a desperate situation with heavy injuries, Xu Ruyu came to help.

The wound to the lobes of the lungs that was already unhealed made the dull pain under the chest stop at this time, and suddenly the heart was cold, and the murderous heart receded like a tidal wave.

Wei Yan sighed lightly and raised his voice and said, "Those who abandon weapons are alive." After that, before Long Xinghu walked to the fire, the long knife turned into a knife light, his wrist flicked, and he took off his blade and pressed towards the fire, and the fire suddenly suffocated, and the fire weakened a little. Seeing that he intended to extinguish the fire, Qingliu led dozens of elite guards to protect him.

Wei Yan walked forward slowly, and the long knife continued to wave out cold rays, and the fire in Jizhai actually let him extinguish most of them alone.

The generals of the Qingyan Army gave people the feeling that Wei Yan was more murderous than Wei Yu, and now seeing that he actually gave Puji Kou soldiers the opportunity to surrender, Ziyang Yalan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and forgot that he was the main general of this battle.

Zhang Zhongdao Zhuo stood on the top of the Shaozhai watchtower, watched the flames in the east gradually extinguish, and knew that the battle in Jizhai was over. He arched his hand to Gu Changhuai and said, "Brother Changhuai, please wait in Xuancheng for a few days." ”

Gu Changhuai laughed and said: "Fighting side by side with Zhongdao, the refreshing place is better than the spring snow of the jade pot, if it is not bound by the rules of the meeting, I really want to go east to Fuzhou with you." ”

Xiao Yizhi's face sank, and he looked away silently. Xu Ruyu borrowed someone to build water conservancy, and it seems that it is better to send someone else.

The light of day has been opened, and outside Lianyun Village, there are corpses everywhere.

Xu Duanguo followed behind Wei Yu, with an unbearable look between his eyebrows, Ji Ziheng followed Xiangfan to cause trouble in Fenjun in his early years, and he was used to seeing this kind of scene, and his expression was calm.

The 8,000 Liukou obviously didn't realize that an elite army of 6,000 people would suddenly appear in the direction of Qingjiangyi, and the scouts were only scattered within three miles of Lianyunzhai.

The 6,000 elite soldiers led by Wei Yu had no baggage, and the soldiers' outfits were all reduced before departure, and after they were full, they did not bring dry food.

Wei Yu led the team to walk leisurely, unable to walk eight miles for an hour, completely ignoring the emergency military situation from Lianyunzhai. It wasn't until they encountered the enemy outpost scouts that the 6,000 soldiers who were recuperating were like fierce tigers and pounced on the 8,000 Liukou who were besieging Lianyun Village. It was defeated, and it was not until the sky opened that Wei Yu gave the order to withdraw his troops.

The news that the elite soldiers of the Qingyan Army appeared in Yunwu Huangzhen and Lianyunzhai and moved towards Yuzhan Ridge successively reached the ears of Gongliang Youqin.

Gongliang Youqin had a gloomy face and was silent.

Zhao Weixu said in a low voice: "The Fan family suddenly abandoned Yueqing City last night, obviously they have already seen through Xu Ruyu's arrangement, and the young marshal has not led the troops into Fuzhou until now, I am afraid that something will happen to Yueqing City." ”

Gongliangyou Qin Yan could not understand the meaning of Zhao Weixu's words, the total strength of the Qingyan Army in Yuzhanling, Lianyunzhai, and Yunwuhuang Town reached 45,000 people, and the soldiers in Luozhai were only 35,000 people. Although there are still more than 45,000 people in Yueqing, Wenling, and Jinhua, it is still unknown whether they can come in time to participate in the battle.

Before the Qingyan Army encircled, he abandoned the village and went southeast.

The thought flashed, and Gongliang Youqin was disgraced, do you want me to lose in front of this stinky child?

Zhao Weixu saw that Gongliang Youqin's face was cloudy, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking, and he was afraid that he would be stubborn and insist on fighting Xu Ruyu here. Regardless of the fact that Yueqing City is 350 miles away from here, Xu Ru can not guard against the Puji army outside Yueqing, as long as he delays the Yueqing garrison for 32 hours, the village may be his own burial place.

Zhao Weixu had no doubt at this time that somewhere between Yueqing and Fuzhou, Xu Ruyu arranged an ambush of 5,000 to 6,000 people.

Since mid-April, Xu Ruyu has been constrained by our army everywhere at first glance, but in fact he has restrained our army everywhere. No one could have imagined a month ago that Xu Ruyu would be able to draw nearly 50,000 troops. These nearly 50,000 troops really belong to the Blue Flame Army, but there are less than 20,000.

At noon on May 6, the sound of fighting in Yueqing City continued to this day without stopping.

Gongliang Xiaotian looked at Yueqing City with a blank face, and suddenly whipped the horse's buttocks, the horse neighed in pain, but the horse body was held down by Gongliang Xiaotian and couldn't move.

The left and right hearts were frightened, and they were silent and did not dare to come forward to advise.

5,000 elites went to attack more than 10,000 young and strong civilians, but they failed to capture it at this time. The civilians guarding the inner city were becoming more and more courageous, and showed no signs of defeat.

The family controlled martial arts very strictly, but the civilians of Yueqing and Jinhua assisted in defending the city, and the Fan family loosened its control over this. After fighting against the Puji bandits for more than ten years, the martial arts of the people of the two cities are beyond the reach of other places.

Gongliang Xiaotian forced the martial people into a desperate situation, stirring up their battle of trapped beasts, which became a stalemate now.

Li Yin was attached to the Qingyan Army, the 6,000 elites of the Qingyan Army appeared in the southeast of Qingjiangyi at noon yesterday, the Baiyi elite soldiers gathered in Yunwuhuang Town last night and sent troops to attack Jizhai, and the news that Shaozhai was lost Zhang Zhongdao led 6,000 soldiers of the Yongyang Reserve Battalion into Fuzhou came one after another.

Gongliang Xiaotian Qingjun looked at Ling Shi with a gloomy face, and said word by word: "I will give you another 2,000 soldiers and horses to crush those mobs and scatter them to ashes for me." ”

Gongliang Xiaotian finally couldn't sit still, did not wait to settle the situation in Yueqing, nor did he wait for the 20,000 Puji bandits who came from the direction of Jinhua to unite with the 20,000 Puji bandits, and led the 8,000 Puji bandits to go straight to the direction of Yuzhanling.

On May 6, the sunset was like blood, hanging on the top of Taishan.

Zhang Xu led the Fuzhou infantry camp unexpectedly north of Yueqing City. From the north gate, a fierce attack was launched against the 6,000 Puji pirates who occupied the outer city of Yueqing. The battle did not last long, and the armed people trapped in the inner city noticed the anomaly at the north gate and fought towards the north gate from the inside.

Soon after nightfall, the remnants of 4,000 soldiers withdrew from the East City Gate. The Fuzhou infantry camp and 7,000 mobs occupied Yueqing City.

Forty miles north of Yueqing City, Yang Shang, who was covered in blood, watched the fireworks that kept rising from Yueqing City extending here, the fireworks flickered in the dim twilight, and the corners of Yang Shang's indifferent mouth moved a few times, leading the remaining more than 100 elites to evacuate the battlefield and rush towards Yueqing City.

Puji's 20,000 troops withdrew from Jinhua last night, slowly converged in the direction of Yueqing, and Yang Shang led a thousand elite soldiers of the Fuzhou infantry battalion to form the Fanjia Yueqing army and block the road.

After two hours of confrontation, the Puji army was convinced that there was no Fan family army near and far, and Puji launched an attack on Yang Shang.

Fan Wenlong led 15,000 elites to withdraw from Yueqing City last night, and went straight to Yantan Mountain, at this time it had occupied the empty Yantan Fort, and more than ten dock forts such as Tianshi Village along the way all fell into the hands of the Fan family.

Because Tianshizhai, Yantan Fort and other dock forts fell into the hands of the Fan family again, the main general of the 20,000 Puji Kou soldiers who were originally stationed outside Jinhua City avoided breeding dirt with the Fan family, and cautiously opened to Yueqing, preparing to enter Fuzhou under the pretense of Yueqing, rather than boldly entering Fuzhou from the gap between Tianshizhai and Yantan Fort.

Along the way, the 1,000 elites led by Yang Shang were like moths to the fire to prevent the 20,000 Kou soldiers from approaching Yueqing City, using all their strength, and the 1,000 elites were lost, but they successfully delayed the 20,000 Kou soldiers for nearly four hours in the north of Yueqing City.

When 20,000 Puji soldiers rushed to Yueqing City, the four gates were closed, and the arrows and stones rained down. Carrying the wind lantern on his back, the expression on Zhang Xu's face was not real, while Yang Shang showed the weakness after the battle, his face was scorched, and his eyes were erratic. Behind him, the battle flag of the Fuzhou infantry camp was hung high on the corner tower of the city gate.

Gongliang Xiaotian's slaughter of the people in Yueqing City aroused the fight of the trapped beasts of the martial people. Zhang Xu gave up the original battle plan to block Gongliang Xiaotian, directly attacked Yueqing City, and with the help of the aborigines of Yueqing, it didn't take two hours to drive the remaining 4,000 Puji bandits out of Yueqing City.

The 20,000 Puji bandits who rushed to meet Gongliang Xiaotian saw that Yueqing City had been occupied by the Qingyan Army and could not replenish supplies in Yueqing, so they finally did not resolutely enter Fuzhou to find Gongliang Youqin and Gongliang Xiaotian's soldiers and horses, and turned back to Benwenling.

The battle in Fuzhou ended, and the various forces realized the important role of the aborigines of Fuzhou in this battle.

If Gongliang Xiaotian had only expelled the aborigines of Yueqing City from the city and did not order the slaughter of the city, he would have been able to take over Yueqing City smoothly, and he would have been able to send three teams of 10,000 people to pick up Gongliang Youqin, who was already in central Fuzhou at that time.

At dusk on 6 May, the Puji Army stationed near Luozhai moved to the southeast. Xu Ruyu, who had already returned to Yuzhan Ridge, did not know that more than 300 miles away, Zhang Xu did not intercept the enemy troops from Yueqing from entering Fuzhou according to the original plan, but directly attacked Yueqing City.

Xu Ruyu Qingjun's face could not see excitement, his eyes were still faint, but his tone of voice was a little stern: "This battle can decide the situation in Qingjiang and Yuejun, you are diligent." ”

Liang Bao led the Xuancheng infantry camp and Ming Xi led the Suwei battalion to chase after them first, and in the early morning of the next day, they caught up with the Puji bandits in the wilderness eighty miles southeast of Yuzhan Ridge. Subsequently, the Yongyang Reserve Battalion led by Zhang Zhongdao and the Baiyi elite soldiers led by Ziyang Yalan entered the battlefield. The 15,000 soldiers of the Minzhai led by Xu Ruyu, Shao Haitang, and Wei Yu and the soldiers of the two battalions of the water battalion also joined the battle in the early morning.

On 5 May, Xu Ruyu issued a convening order to all the villages in Qingjiang, except for the necessary soldiers guarding the villages, and all the villages must send all the redundant villagers to the Yuzhan Ridge in the early morning of the 7th to participate in the Battle of Fuzhou.

At noon on May 8, Zhang Xu led the Fuzhou infantry battalion to join the battle. Zi Yangqiu and Minna led another Baiyi elite to join the battle.
