Chapter 41 The army pressed in, and the decisive battle was fierce
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 pale, looking at the battle report in his hand, his brows furrowed, and the look 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 in comparison, the next few battle reports about the encirclement and suppression of the flood banner altar, or bad news, made the Jianghuai Prime Minister angry, but 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......
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 news of this battle will 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 move of Xie Wuji and others again, but they did not react too much, or because of the successive achievements, they have become accustomed to it.
In addition, within more than a month, not only the Ming Sect, but even other forces in the rivers and lakes began to follow suit and take action in various places to fight against the Mengyuan court on a small scale.
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 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.
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 made the Jianghuai Prime Minister 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.
Prime Minister Jianghuai decided to break the boat, and immediately gathered 10,000 elite troops to kill the cottage where Xie Wuji and others were located. This is already the majority of the troops in the entire Jianghuai Province. If this battle can successfully exterminate Xie Wuji and others in one fell swoop, then things may have a turn for the better; If it is still impossible, or even if there are too many soldiers, the situation in Jianghuai Province will become even worse.
However, if this happens, it has nothing to do with him. Come to think of it, by that time, Prime Minister Jianghuai would have already 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 wall was replaced with a large stone barrier, and the walkway on the wall was more than doubled, which could accommodate more people on the wall to defend against enemy attacks. On the walled wall, there are such as falling stones, fire oil, crossbows and other equipment to defend the city, and they are all available. 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 arranged 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 Borhut again.
In this way, the days passed quietly in the intensive preparations of Xie Wuji and others, 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 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. The camp of the Yuan soldiers is quite orderly, layered, and the layout is rigorous, one after another, and it is impermeable.
At night, in order to prevent a sneak attack, the Yuan army arranged a large number of Yuan soldiers to patrol and guard, and the secret posts outside the camp were arranged quite a lot.
And Xu Da, the commander-in-chief of the cottage, never had the idea of attacking the Yuan army camp overnight, the number of the Yuan army was so large, and then going to sneak attack was pure death-seeking.
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 has many generals, and the siege of the city is even more well-arranged, wave after wave, without a moment's pause, and it is still very easy.
