Section 21 Jianghuai turmoil, tragic decisive battle

Black Tiger Ridge, on the narrow and long mountain road between the two mountains, one after the other, two teams of people and horses are running quickly. The team of more than 200 people in front, the more rapid the footsteps under them, towards the end of the mountain road, running for their lives, and soon came to the second half of the mountain road.

And behind them, countless Yuan soldiers were in hot pursuit, and they all entered the mountain road of Black Tiger Ridge, and when they looked at it, the black pressure pressed a large area, like a black long dragon, with a huge number of three thousand people.

......Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and countless boulders and trees tumbled down from the mountain walls on both sides of the mountain road. These boulders and giant trees were not to kill the Yuan soldiers, but to completely seal the Yuan soldiers in the Black Tiger Ridge one by one.

"Not good! There was an ambush ......" The 3,000 Yuan soldiers were shocked and became a mess, and there were many golden soldiers, who were at a loss to swarm towards both ends of the mountain road, intending to move the boulders and giant trees blocking the road.

Unfortunately, they will never have that opportunity again. Suddenly, there was another earth-shattering noise, and countless huge balls made of grass and trees were burning with raging fire, also tumbling down from the mountain walls on both sides of the mountain road.

Wherever the huge fireballs rolled down, they all burned, turning into flaming dragons, burning everything around them, and finally devouring the three thousand yuan soldiers on the mountain road.

In an instant, countless Yuan soldiers turned into burning fire people, and terrible screams shouted out of their mouths, one after another, piercing the sky. The fire is raging between the mountain roads, the smoke is billowing out, and from a distance, there are countless figures struggling and wailing, just like a purgatory on earth.

On the top of the mountain on both sides, the disciples of the Giant Wood Banner and the Flame Banner Altar, the cheers that were excited at the beginning gradually lowered, and they looked at each other, all of them shivered, and they all saw the trace of unbearable meaning in the eyes of their companions.

"Hey......" Xie Wuji sighed lightly, a trace of unbearable color flashed in his eyes, and he silently withdrew his gaze looking at the bottom of the mountain, and said lightly: "Brother Liu, the matter is over here, let's withdraw." As he spoke, he strode down the hill without looking back.

Liu Ju also had a solemn face, and didn't look at the bottom of the mountain, the golden soldiers who were struggling in the flames greeted them twice, and then led everyone to follow and go down the mountain.

No matter what the position is, no matter how much you hate the brutality of Jin Bing in your heart, but after all, it is a living human life, and if you burn them all so cruelly, a trace of discomfort will inevitably rise in everyone's hearts.

However, if Xie Wuji were asked to choose again, they would definitely not hesitate to do so. Compared to Meng Yuan's brutality, what is this?

At the foot of the mountain, Xie Wuji and others converged with Xu Da and his party, and the two sides knew each other, and it was very lively. However, when the disciples of the Flood Banner Branch asked about the specific situation of the ambush of the Yuan soldiers, Xie Wuji and the others were indeed lacking in interest, so they just said it briefly and did not want to mention it again.

Five days later, the triumphant return to the village, and Chang Yuchun and Deng Youde personally greeted each other. In this battle, three thousand Mengyuan elites were wiped out, and everyone was very excited, and they immediately took out all the good wine and food in the village, and held a feast to celebrate for three whole days.

Jianghuai Province Zhongshu Province, Jianghuai Prime Minister Jianghuai Prime Minister was pale, looking at the battle report in his hand, his brows furrowed, and the expression in his eyes was extremely complicated, there was anger, disbelief, and deep fear.

The first two battle reports are all good news, which means that the two roads of people have successfully exterminated the two sub-altar strongholds of Houtu Banner and Ruijin Banner, killing countless thieves; The third battle report is not good news, the people who were responsible for clearing the fire flag branch altar all the way returned in vain, were rebellious and escaped, and they didn't even touch a figure.

But compared with it, the next few war reports about the encirclement and suppression of the flood banner altar, or the bad news, made Prime Minister Jianghuai angry and even more frightened. These bad news were not transmitted by the people who were responsible for encircling and suppressing the flood banner altar, they no longer had this opportunity. But the Prime Minister of Jianghuai never got the news of the people along the way, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he sent several teams of scouts to investigate, and the news that came back one after another was worse than the other, which made the heart of the Prime Minister of Jianghuai gradually sink to the bottom. In the end, a team of scouts tracked down Black Tiger Ridge along the road and saw the hellish scene......

Another 3,000 Mengyuan elite troops were wiped out, and such a big thing happened, even if Prime Minister Jianghuai tried his best to hide it, he couldn't hide it. Soon, the battle situation spread all over the world.

This time, whether it is the various departments of the Ming Sect or other forces in the rivers and lakes, they sighed at the shocking actions of Xie Wuji and others, but they did not react too much, or because they had become accustomed to the successive shocking moves.

In addition, within a month or so, not only the Ming Sect, but even other forces in the rivers and lakes have followed suit and taken action, starting to fight against the Mengyuan court on a small scale in various places. In various parts of the Central Plains, there were frequent incidents such as siege and looting, assassination of officials of the Mengyuan court, and attacks and killings of Yuan soldiers. There are successes and failures, and many prefectures, cities and counties around the country are a little anxious.

However, the Mengyuan court was not a vegetarian, and immediately issued an order to all localities that rebellion must be severely punished. In the face of the encirclement and suppression of the Mengyuan army, the results of the small forces that fought against the Mengyuan in various places were also different. There are those who escaped decisively in advance, there are those who can't escape and are exterminated, and there are even those who fight to the death and do not retreat. But no matter what, they are all heroes in the eyes of the Han people, and their heroic deeds will be sung endlessly in various places.

However, this series of changes gave Prime Minister Jianghuai a chance to breathe, perhaps because the Mengyuan Imperial Court had not yet had time to take care of him, or the Mengyuan Imperial Court intended to give him another chance, and the will to punish never came down, which also made the Prime Minister Jianghuai secretly relieved. But he also knows that these are only temporary, if he can't exterminate Xie Wuji and other rebellions and dismiss him, he will not be able to escape after all.

Therefore, the prime minister of Jianghuai decided to break the cauldron and sink the boat, gather 10,000 elite troops, and kill the cottage where Xie Wuji and others are located. You must know that this is already the majority of the troops in the entire Jianghuai Province. If this battle can successfully wipe out Xie Wuji and others in one fell swoop, then things will still take a big turn; If it still fails to succeed, or even if there are too many soldiers, the situation in Jianghuai Province will become even worse. But if this happens, what does it have to do with him? Come to think of it, by that time, he would have been deposed, right? Even whether or not his life can be saved is still two theories.

Over there, Meng Yuan's 10,000 elites had just begun to assemble, and Xie Wuji and the others in the cottage here received the news and also began to actively prepare for the war.

Today's cottages, compared with before, are no longer the same. In terms of personnel, with the addition of all the members of the Flood Banner and the Flame Banner Branch, coupled with the defection of the remnants of the Houtu Banner and the Ruijin Banner, as well as the addition of those Jianghu high-rollers who heard the names of Xie Wuji and others, in just over a month, the number of people in the village soared by as much as 1,200.

In the construction of the cottage, the original wooden walled wall has been replaced by a large stone barrier, and the walkway on the walled wall has been widened more than twice, which can accommodate more personnel to defend above. From the foot of the mountain, it is completely a stone fortress, and it can really be called easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the end, in terms of retreat, just in case, Xie Wuji also asked Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun to personally take the disciples of the Jumu Banner Altar to enter the back mountain for a month, and laid out more, more hidden, and more powerful traps. In case there is disharmony, you can calmly retreat to the back mountain. Of course, Xie Wuji didn't expect to be able to ambush the Meng Yuan army again in the back mountains, as long as the general who led the troops this time was not too idiotic, he would definitely not make the same mistake as Borhute again.

In this way, the days passed quietly in Xie Wuji's intensive preparations, seeing that Meng Yuan's 10,000 army was getting closer and closer to the cottage, Xie Wuji was naturally unwilling to stay in the cottage, passively defending, together with Chang Yuchun and the others, led five hundred elite disciples to leave the cottage silently. As for the defense of the cottage, Xie Wuji believes that with Xu Da, Deng Youde and Liu Ju, plus more than 700 disciples, it is enough to hold the cottage for more than a few days. If you are the worst, you can calmly retreat to the back mountain.

On this day, the Mengyuan army finally came to the foot of the mountain, and the military flag was unfurled, covering the sky and the sun, and the power was very high. Seeing that the Yuan army was so powerful, Xu Da, Deng Youde and Liu Ju, who were watching the enemy's formation on the wall, were all awe-inspiring, and they felt that the difficulty of this battle would be far beyond their expectations. But at the same time, the three of them were full of fighting spirit in their hearts, not only did they not have the slightest fear, but they were a little eager to try.

The Mengyuan army only sent a few teams of scouts to spy on the situation of the cottage, and then began to set up camp and recuperate for the next big battle. Its camp is quite orderly, layered, rigorously arranged, one after another, airtight. At night, in order to prevent being attacked, the Yuan army arranged a large number of Yuan soldiers to patrol and guard, and there were many hidden posts outside the military village.

Of course, Xu Da, the commander-in-chief of the cottage, never had the idea of attacking the Yuan army camp overnight, and the number of Yuan troops was so large, and it could be described as a pure act of seeking death to sneak attack again.

The Mengyuan army only rested for one day, and then brazenly launched a continuous and fierce attack on the cottage. This time, the Yuan army had many generals, and the siege was even more well-arranged, wave after wave, without a moment's pause, and it was a little more comfortable.

In terms of cottages, they are also well prepared, and the defense equipment is complete, and the defense is as stable as Mount Tai. The crossbow was shot, and countless Yuan soldiers were shot into strings of sugar gourds, and even the cowhide giant shield was shot through on the spot; Falling rocks fell, and a large number of Yuan soldiers were smashed into pulp; Poured with oil and rockets, all the soldiers under the wall turned into burning men, wailing and running in all directions, but after all, they could not escape the doom of being burned to death by the flames.

However, the siege equipment of the Yuan army was also sharp, and it attacked the walled wall countless times, and in the midst of bloody fighting, the defensive disciples on the walled wall were replaced one after another; In the evening, the Yuan army even successfully broke through the gate of the cottage, but fortunately Deng Youde and Liu Ju were brave and abnormal, which was worthy of guarding the gate.

The remnant sun was like blood, and the Yuan soldiers slowly retreated with the terrible sound of horns, ending the offensive for a whole day. The disciples of the Five Elements Banner on the wall of the wall cheered excitedly, but they were all so tired that they collapsed.

From the beginning to the sect, Xu Da, who stood on the wall of the wall, personally commanded the battle of defending the city, looked cold, his eyebrows were locked, only on this day's battle, the casualties of the disciples in the village were no less than hundred. Of course, the Yuan soldiers also suffered a lot of injuries, leaving behind five or six hundred corpses.

If you look at it on the surface alone, the strength of the Yuan army is enough to have 10,000 troops, even if it is consumed, it can drag them down. But Xu Da did not feel hopeless, and muttered silently: "Three days, as long as you can hold on to the first three days, this battle will definitely have another turnaround......

After a whole day of offensive and defensive battles, both sides were exhausted, and naturally they would not have the spare strength to sneak attack each other at night, but both of them recuperated and waited for another battle in the coming day.

The next day, the battle in front of the cottage was equally fierce, the only difference was that whether it was the siege equipment of the cottage or the siege equipment of the Yuan army, after yesterday's battle, they had consumed and lost a lot, and they could not be replenished in time.

Therefore, today's big war, the tragic hand-to-hand combat is even worse, and the casualties on both sides will naturally be greater. After a whole day of bloody fighting, the casualties in the cottage expanded to more than 2340, and the death toll of the Yuan army also reached 1,500.

On the third day, the tragic offensive and defensive battles continued......

Approaching evening, the Yuan army still had no sign of breaking through the cottage, which made the main general of the Yuan army sigh in his heart, and it seems that he will return again today. However, the general of the Yuan army was secretly annoyed, and at the same time, he was also determined that he would definitely break through the cottage in the future.

On the other hand, Xu Da in the cottage is in a different situation, he is about to stick to the third day, he is naturally very satisfied, but at this time in his heart, there is a trace of expectation, quietly rising. I don't know when, Xu Da actually went down the city wall in advance against the past, and joined Deng Youde and Liu Ju, and behind the three of them, there were indeed three hundred dragon spirits and fierce tigers, and the murderous disciples of the Five Elements Banner were ready to fight.

Time passed bit by bit, and the blood-red remnant sun slowly fell, which also indicated that today's war was coming to an end, and the hearts of both the offensive and defensive sides began to gradually relax.

Suddenly, a noisy sound sounded behind the Yuan army camp, followed by more fires, and countless camps were lit up one after another.

It turned out that at some point, Xie Wuji and Chang Yuchun, with five hundred elites, quietly touched the front of the Yuan army's military village. Seeing that the war was about to end, the Yuan soldiers in the military village couldn't help but relax their vigilance, so they seized this fleeting fighter plane, and immediately rushed into the Yuan army camp, mercilessly killing the Yuan army who could not react, and set fire to the camp, and rushed straight to the location of the Yuan army's grain and grass......
