Chapter 36: A Small Victory

Ye Chengping led people to take advantage of the chaos to run to the commander's tent.

Today, Ping Yuanzhong will definitely go out in person, but Ao Yongwang, the deputy commander of the Nanwei Army, should be in the army.

Ao Yongwang is a veteran of Nanwei and can be regarded as Ping Yuanzhong's mentor.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too old and the barracks affairs were a little difficult, the coach this time would probably be Ao Yongwang.

Ye Chengping's target this time is exactly him.

Ping Yuanzhong is still young, and no matter how calm he is, there are unexpected aspects.

But Ao Yongwang is different, he is a veteran who has fought for many years and has a stable and long life, and the most important thing is this thoughtfulness.

By swindling the surrender, this Ao Yongwang will be solved, and it will be much easier to fight with Ping Yuanzhong in the future.

Ao Yongwang is 70 years old this year, and ordinary old people are somewhat dazzled and deaf at his age, and their legs and feet are inconvenient.

But he doesn't have these problems, it's just that the old wounds on the battlefield are unbearable as soon as the day changes.

What's the commotion outside, it's not that Yuan Zhong's kid didn't go well tonight.

Ao Yongwang was struggling to get up, and the guards on duty outside the tent came in.

People who are in pain have a little less concentration "What's going on outside?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just a small thing that the moth knocked over the lamp oil and set the tent on fire."

The aged Ao Yongwang finally realized that something was wrong, but the dagger had already pierced his back, straight through the heart.

Ye Chengping respected his talent and gave him a good time.

The Nanyu military camp has been completely chaotic.

They took advantage of the chaos to kill a few generals of no lower rank, and then hurried out of the barracks and hid in Anyue Mountain in the east of Mengxi County.

-------------------------------------

An explosion sounded, and one after another burning wine jars were smashed down on the north wall of Mengxi.

Qian Tianhe and his party quickly retreated, and they were all slightly injured.

In the originally quiet houses on both sides, a sizable team quickly appeared, holding leather shields and neatly arrayed.

Qian Tianhe quickly withdrew behind the shield with a hundred cronies.

Behind the shield, there was a row of archers, and next to the archers was a soldier with a torch.

Torches were lit one after another, not for illumination, but for destruction.

One after another flaming arrows shot at Ping Yuanzhong and his party.

The wine jars on the walls were still smashing down.

Flammable liquor meets a fire that is burning brightly.

It was the first time that Ping Yuanzhong was so embarrassed.

Li Chengfeng's intelligence was wrong, and the ambush of the Xuanzhou army was not at Mengsu Bridge.

Ping Yuanzhong immediately decided to go out of the north gate of Mengxi County and jumped into the water, maybe there was still a glimmer of life.

In order to lure Ping Yuanzhong to take the bait, the north gate of Mengxi County is wide open, and although there are many soldiers now, it can be regarded as the weak point of this encirclement.

A team of thousands of people rushed to the water's edge, and there were less than ten people.

Ping Yuanzhong jumped into the water with blood stains all over his body, and the only remaining cronies were helping him fend off the archers' hidden arrows.

Li Chengfeng has always been a life-sparing person, and seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately raised his hand and surrendered.

The identity of his relative is on the surface, Qian Tianhe didn't want to hurt his life, if this identity is not interrogated well and evidence is presented, there will be endless troubles in the future.

-------------------------------------

Ping Yuanzhong has good water properties, and the water in the middle of the night is a little cold and biting, slowing down his escape.

But he still escaped, and he followed the direction of the flowing water, and went ashore in the northeast direction of the city of Xuanzhou.

He looked in the direction of the Nanyu military camp, and black smoke was filling.

This time the loss is big.

The hair was already loose and wet and sticking to the face, embarrassed, unprecedentedly embarrassed.

Ping Yuanzhong, who suffered a loss, shook the water on his armor casually.

Regained his spirits and walked in the direction of the Nanwei military camp.

No matter how bad the game is, the manager's confidence cannot be lost.

The granary was burned, the deputy marshal Ao Yongwang was killed, and in addition to eight mid-ranking generals were killed and four were seriously injured.

The soldiers looked at each other dejectedly.

Ping Yuanzhong wore a cloak and returned to the barracks in embarrassment.

Most of the water on him was dry.

Ao Yongwang's body was already cold, and no one found out that he had been assassinated before Ping Yuanzhong returned to the camp.

When Ping Yuanzhong just stepped into the barracks, the first thing he thought of was his elderly teacher.

Such a big thing, he didn't come out to preside over the overall situation?

Ping Yuanzhong strode towards Ao Yongwang's camp.

A dagger was still stuck in the back of his heart, and not much blood was shed, and the person was completely gone.

Ping Yuanzhong grabbed his hair and kowtowed to Ao Yongwang three times in a proper kneeling posture.

After spending a quarter of an hour briefly freshening up, Ping Yuanzhong returned to his former majestic appearance.

He commanded the soldiers to count the casualties and sort out the granaries. Two more urgent letters were written, one to the Emperor of Nanhao, and the other to go to the border of Nanhao to requisition grain and grass.

It seems that it's time to have a good time with this Ye Chengping.

-------------------------------------

Of the hundred soldiers who attacked the Nanwei Army last night, there are still seventy or eighty people left, and they have taken refuge in An Yueshan under the leadership of Ye Chengping.

They were waiting, watching the Nanwei military camp.

If Ping Yuanzhong had died in Mengxi County the night before, the Nanwei army would have been in chaos, and then they would rush out and kill the horses.

But Ping Yuanzhong came back safely, and the Nanwei military camp cleaned up the mess in an orderly manner.

Ye Chengping nested under a big tree, ate the dry food he carried with him, and waited for the night.

At night, they were able to return safely to the city under the cover of night.

Last night's Xuanzhou army should have only sent a small force to attack and harass, and used most of its forces to intercept and kill themselves.

Ping Yuanzhong, who calmed down, thought about what he would do if he was the other party?

It is not cost-effective to go back to the city directly, in case he dies in Mengxi City, he may be able to end this war quickly by ambushing him halfway.

Ambush? An Yueshan.

Ping Yuanzhong, who reacted, went to the military camp and ordered thousands of men and horses, and quickly rushed to the foot of Anyue Mountain with torches and phosphorus powder.

"Archers prepare, fire."

The red arrow feathers fell one after another, and An Yueshan became a sea of fire.

The moment the horse's hooves sounded, Ye Chengping felt bad.

But this Anyue Mountain is famous for its towering and steep, and it is impossible to escape from the mountain.

There are also no streams and rivers in the mountains, only small streams of water occasionally seeping through cracks in the stones.

Such a small flow of water is really insignificant compared to this raging wildfire.

Ye Chengping's heart was horizontal, and he directly found a place with a small fire to break through.

Since you can't survive horizontally and vertically, it's better to rush down, maybe you can kill one or two enemy soldiers, and find a companion for yourself on the Huangquan Road.

A team of dozens of people, under the leadership of Ye Chengping, rushed down An Yue Mountain.

Most of them burned to death in the middle of the breakout.

There are only a dozen people who broke through.

The other side is cavalry, they are infantry, and if they can't cut people, they cut off the legs of horses.

There was a huge disparity in numbers, and Ye Chengping and his party soon became cold corpses.

The horse's hooves trampled over and became a piece of flesh.
