Chapter 61: Tearing Down the Bridge

In Xuanzhou, Ping Yuanzhong, as the supreme commander of the battlefield, was suddenly declared back to the capital, and all the affairs of the military camp were handed over to Yang Jingtong, a layman who could only watch the excitement.

This battlefield is a stalemate period, and if you leave now, the battle of more than half a year will be in vain.

has consumed a lot of military horses in Xuanzhou, and there is a rebellious Liu Xiao, in the next battle, Nan Wei does not say that he has an advantage, but he does not have a disadvantage.

This queen mother wants to completely cut off the wings of the little emperor and help her own people to take the throne, Ping Yuanzhong weighed it again and again, and decided to resist the order, he plans to use the fastest time to capture Mengxi County and take seven or eight cities large and small in Xuanzhou.

Yang Jingtong, who was still recuperating from his injuries, was placed under house arrest, and Ping Yuanzhong took the initiative to cut off contact with the capital of Nanwei and prepared for war with peace of mind.

The first to notice something unusual in this military camp was Brother Liu, who suddenly found that Yang Bainuo, who had to come over to find fault during his recuperation, was gone?

After careful observation, Brother Liu felt more and more that this military camp was strange, as if he hadn't seen this soldier who sent a military report to the capital for a long time.

The autumn sky was just turning blue, and the fog was hazy.

Liu Xiao took 2,000 men and horses to lurk into Chilan Mountain, and Jiang Liangtong took 2,000 men and horses into Anyue Mountain. They share the same goal of turning the two mountains into a sea of fire.

The last time Liu Xiao led his troops to ambush here, it was to drive the Nanwei army back to his hometown; This time, he once again led his troops to ambush here, but in order to step on the corpses of the soldiers of his home country to the throne of power.

He has followed Ye Chengping for many years, and finally this Ye Chengping became the commander because of Nan Wei's sneak attack, but the person he trusts the most is not himself.

Liu Xiao knew that the current situation could not change, so it was better to take Ye Chengping's head to earn a reputation.

The two pedestrians quickly moved on the two dangerous mountains. Grains of salt, which resemble coarse salt, were sprinkled in large quantities on the red earth of the two mountains.

The sun shone through the clouds and mist on the east side of the hillside, and Liu Xiao, who is quite experienced, knew that this was a sign that the fog was about to disperse. He hurriedly ordered the fire to be lit and went down the mountain with two thousand soldiers as fast as he could.

Jiang Liangtong was still wandering around Anyue Mountain, the fog dissipated, and the black smoke was bursting in the west, and Jiang Liangtong, who knew that the best time to retreat had been delayed, complained a little about this Liu Xiao. What about the retreat code?

The rainy season has passed, and the dense forest is a little dry due to the sunny days of the day. The miscanthus was originally a flammable thing, and for a while, black smoke enveloped half of Mengxi County.

The sentry on the city wall reported Qian Tianhe as quickly as possible. The 50,000 Xuanzhou army was quickly assembled, and Qian Tianhe stood on the high platform built by the log, commanding loudly.

Two thousand good men with excellent water skills and first-class archery skills lined up, and the rest of the men and horses gathered and prepared to retreat with the people.

Shu Bai gathered the people in the city with a thousand soldiers, and he told them over and over again that tearing off the corners of his clothes and getting wet would protect him from the smoke.

The fire in the west is stronger than in the east, and there are more poor people living in the west city, who are illiterate, and no matter how fast Rao is Shubai is, it can't compare to this gust of east wind.

In the dilapidated house, there were one person after another with dark faces, and Shu Bai's heart trembled uncontrollably.

Qian Tianhe went up to the city wall with 2,000 soldiers with excellent water skills, and they all held bows and arrows in their hands and kept shooting the arsonists who had just come out of the mountain.

Jiang Liangtong, who fled very embarrassed, lost a lot of his men.

Ping Yuanzhong led an army of 50,000 people who had covered their mouths and noses with wet cotton cloth in advance, and launched an unprecedented onslaught on the south gate of Mengxi County.

On the city wall, 2,000 men struggled to cope, buying time for the people of the city to retreat.

Three quarters of an hour passed, and there was the first living Nanwei soldier on the city wall.

Shu Bai led a large army and the living people of the city out of the north gate of Mengxi County.

Ping Yuanzhong looked at this burst of black smoke, and was quite grateful for the gift of God, dense fog, sunny, windy, today is really an excellent day to siege the city.

Seeing that there was no hope of defending the city, Qian Tianhe took eight hundred people to hide in the secret passage of Mengxi County.

This secret way is only known to the commanders of the previous commanders of the Xuanzhou Army, and Rao is Liu Xiao was once a senior general of the Xuanzhou Army.

The walls, which were guarded by two hundred men, were quickly breached. Ping Yuanzhong sent tens of thousands of soldiers to work for three hours, and the fire was finally extinguished.

The black smoke and fire, the siege effect is remarkable, but there are still many soldiers in the Nanwei army who suffer from cough disease. The water-soaked cotton cloth can't last too long after all.

"General, this Mengsu Bridge is broken."

Listening to Liu Xiao's report, Ping Yuanzhong was not surprised, he was a little curious, Qian Tianhe, who was still bouncing on the city wall a quarter of an hour ago, ran away the next moment.

Could it be that there is a secret passage in this city? Ping Yuanzhong, who had a little doubt in his heart, paced in Mengxi County.

Until the sky turned dark, Ping Yuanzhong still did not find the way to this secret passage, so he had to order Liu and Jiang to strengthen the defense of Mengxi County.

Ping Yuanzhong, who had been busy all day, was quite tired, and he closed his eyes in the Mengxi County Mansion and thought about his next plan. A smell of inferior incense came, and the wary Ping Yuanzhong immediately opened his eyes.

It's Liu Xiao. When the eyes of the two met, the sword light and sword shadow flashed.

The sound of the fight did not attract anyone, and the enemy general who personally rebelled against Ping Yuanzhong really had two brushes, and both had the ability to control the boss's guards.

Qian Tianhe opened the door of the secret passage and quietly came out of the backyard of the Mengxi County Government.

No one? It's a bit out of the ordinary. He reined in his footsteps and walked straight in the direction from which the sound of the fight had come.

Infighting? Great opportunity, help Liu kill Ping or help Ping kill Liu?

Qian Tianhe was thinking about it as he retreated into the dark passage.

He quietly ordered everyone's actions tonight, and then returned to the battlefield of Liu and Ping with two cronies.

The enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, and the action will always be much smoother, and the three daggers flew out and rushed straight to Ping Yuanzhong's back.

Liu Xiao, who had already had the upper hand, suddenly felt much more relaxed, he looked at Qian Tianhe, but he was not in a hurry to catch the enemy, but stepped forward to make up for Ping Yuanzhong a few times.

When Liu Xiao finished mending the knife, the fire in Mengxi County also ignited. He quickly knocked over the lamp oil on the table, and jumped out of the county office with the help of the green pine on the wall of the courtyard.

Hundreds of Xuanzhou troops suddenly appeared in all corners of Mengxi County, and they took the incendiary bombs made of the spirits to blow up the wine cellar and oil mills in Mengxi County, and burned down the various mansions where the soldiers were scattered.

The group of people who quickly appeared disappeared into the night like ghosts.

In charge of the overall situation in the army, it was General Liu, who was still an enemy a few days ago. Jiang Liangtong looked at the grieving man in front of him, and countless disbeliefs rose in his heart.

It's a joke that a person who is not loyal to his home country will grieve for his superiors who have not been with him for a long time.

The chaos in the army lasted until the day stopped, and Qian Tianhe, who had already gone out of the city through the secret passage, crossed the river and joined the large army that had retreated to Sumen County.
