The dark night is thick with ink and the blue wind is blowing slowly. In the spacious courtyard enclosed by the wooden fence of Huzhai, there are thousands of bonfires, and countless warriors carrying knives and swords drink and eat meat around the fire, having a great time.
After all, the Scarlet Blood Sect is a Jianghu sect and cannot compare with the regular army of the dynasty. They have no strict military orders, no strict phalanxes, no strict arrangements for generals and subordinates, and they only follow the arrangements of their own leaders. They were summoned from all over the country and didn't even have time to prepare their tents. Most of them gathered randomly on the ground, making money and drinking. After waiting for the departure in the past few days, they carried out a random massacre at Meihua Villa, trying to seize as much gold and silver as they could see.
In the Hall of Heroes in Huzhai, the sect master Qin Zhuzheng was discussing with dozens of hall masters and confidants the layout of the siege of Meihua Villa tomorrow. Qin Zhu was only thirty-eight years old. He was dressed in a splendid purple robe and had purple eyebrows. He was able to make bold statements such as "With thirty thousand gates, Qin swallowed up the northern and southern heavens", he naturally had the majesty of an overlord.
He was ambitious and valued authority more, so he personally came to attack Meihua Villa this time. Don't forget that Jiang himself brought the "Crouching Tiger Golden Tao" with him. Sitting upright in the golden Tao, he has a self-centered aura. Just by looking at this aura, you know that he is definitely not a sparrow. Dozens of masters lay down and stood in four groups, as if they were discussing matters in a court.
Qin Zhu nodded slightly and said: "Today, in the southeast of Dragon City, only Meihua Villa has not been captured, and Meihua Villa sits on the treasure land of Huafeng Mountain, making money every day, and its financial resources are by no means comparable to other sects. A few days ago, Li Chunjin fought for Gu Yun It cost hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver, which shows how huge their family's wealth is. If we capture it this time, we will not only be able to unify the southeastern boundary of Dragon City and officially become the largest gang in the underworld, but it will also be a great help for us to expand our military strength in the future. It works. Now I personally borrowed twenty Tianmen Divine Spears from Sima Yue, and it will be twice the result with half the effort to attack Meihua Villa. Let me first ask Mr. Luo to give you a detailed plan to attack Meihua Villa."
Standing in the front row of the hall was a middle-aged man named Luo Jiuzhou, holding a feather fan and wearing a long beard. He looked like a fake Taoist. People in the Jianghu said that he had a "nine orificed exquisite heart", was accustomed to conspiracy, and often made treacherous plans for Qin. When Qin Zhu took advantage of his master Guo Donghu's serious injury to launch a rebellion, it was this person who started the rebellion, so Qin Zhu trusted him very much.
After Qin Zhu said that, Luo Jiuzhou stepped forward and folded his palms to salute, looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Now that we have strong soldiers and strong horses, and with Sima Tianqing's strong support, it will be just around the corner to become the overlord of the southeast of Dragon City. Speaking of which, now this plum blossom Although Li Chunjin, the owner of the Villa, is a woman, she is more capable than her father Li Tianzheng. In just one month, she has gathered 40,000 soldiers and horses, and she also has the Yue Gang Bow and Tie Xuan Jia of the Yuyan Villa to guard her. It can be seen that she is closely related to Li Tianzheng. Our Scarlet Blood Sect is determined to fight. In addition, her fiancé Luo Tianyao is also the apprentice of Xue Yang, the Prime Minister of Tiandu Dynasty. If we keep her for a long time, she will become a serious problem for us. Something unexpected will happen, and I plan to make a surprise move. , we will set out tomorrow at Yin time to massacre Meihua Villa."
"Start tomorrow? We only have 50,000 disciples here now, and we haven't had time to train the military formations. Isn't this too hasty? After all, Li Chunjin has 40,000 horses in his hands, not to mention those powerful Yue Gang Bows." Everyone was talking about it for a while.
Seeing everyone's doubts, Qin Zhu looked displeased and waved his hands and said: "Don't be doubtful, everyone. Li Chunjin is just a female prostitute, and her troops are just greedy people recruited with money and have no fighting power. As long as there is a fight, They will definitely fall apart and run for their own lives. And our Scarlet Blood Sect disciples are all masters who have experienced hundreds of battles, and one can be equal to ten. Besides, I personally took action this time, and the Tianmen Divine Spear can break their Yue Gang Bow and barriers. Li Chunjin definitely had no room to fight back. And precisely because we struck too quickly, Li Chunjin naturally could not have expected that the chance of winning would be greater."
When everyone heard this, they nodded and thought it made sense.
The number one general under Qin Zhu in the front row, Li Hukui, the "Dragon Killing Sword", is huge and muscular, with muscles all over his body like iron knots. He is nine feet tall and has a golden dragon sword. There are blades on both sides of the knife. When separated, it becomes two large knives. When closed, it becomes another giant knife. It attacks the enemy continuously and has infinite power.
He laughed loudly when he heard this: "That bitch Li Chunjin really has a way of winning over people by relying on her beauty. Master, tomorrow I, the leader of the tiger, will be the first to rush into Meihua Villa and kill them all without leaving a trace. It's just that If you win the Plum Blossom Villa, can you give that little girl Li Chunjin to me as my little wife?"
Everyone laughed, and Qin Zhu also laughed. He knew the benefits of building momentum before the war, especially for these money-hungry and lustful subordinates. The more benefits he gave them, the more they would dare to fight. He immediately smiled generously and said: "Okay! If you can get the first prize tomorrow, Li Chunjin will be rewarded to you. Plum Blossom Villa not only has Li Chunjin, but also the other three beauties. I will reward you all when the time comes. There is also the gold and silver treasure house in the Villa, When the time comes, I will take it all out and distribute it to the brothers."
When they heard about the beauty's money, the faces of this group of thugs were all excited and laughing, and they no longer had any fear.
Luo Jiuzhou smiled and said: "The master is wise, so I will tell you the specific arrangements. The current military strength of Meihua Villa is divided into two parts, one is in Meihua Villa and the other is in Luojin Villa. Li Chunjin wants to be the horns of each other in turn, but it is a pity that her troops are weak , Major General, this method has no effect. This time, we can defeat them one by one. Use the main force to attack Meihua Villa, which is now weakly defended, and use a small force to contain the support of Luo Jinzhuang. In this way, it will be difficult for them to take care of the head and tail. It’s a huge chaos. Now I will inform each hall master in detail about the location and time of tomorrow’s attack.”
——"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Everyone was listening carefully to Luo Jiuzhou's arrangements for tomorrow's attack, when suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air outside the hall, followed by a violent explosion. The house shook and the earth shook.
"What's going on! Go out and check." Qin Zhu raised his sword and hurriedly led a group of people out of the palace to check.
When I came to the door, I saw that the tall fence and earthen wall outside the Tiger Village had collapsed. Under the night wind, I could only hear the sound of whizzing through the air, and dense steel crossbows and flying arrows rained down like a rainstorm. The strong men who were drinking and playing in the open space had no time to escape, so they wailed for help, leaving corpses everywhere.
The screams and the sound of arrows suddenly spread throughout the mountain. He never waits for the opportunity to fight, he springs out like a tiger to pounce, and he is as fierce as a dragon to swallow up. Luofan always does things vigorously and resolutely. He first used the Tianmen Divine Spear to break through the opponent's outer walls from the southeast and west sides of Huzhai, and then launched an all-out attack on Huzhai with 5,000 steel crossbowmen and 300 Yue Gang bows.
A shot from the Tianmen Gun was like a thunderstorm, exploding everywhere and causing the crowd to burst into pieces. The cracking steel crossbow even splits several arrows with one arrow, like a bloodthirsty wolf fang, and the scurrying people fell into a pool of blood one by one. The Yue Gang Bow is even more of a peerless weapon. Its golden feathered arrows shuttle through the air like lightning, specifically hitting those masters with strong martial arts skills and wearing shields. In the blink of an eye, the inner wall of Huzhai collapsed and blood flowed into a river.
"Whoosh!" A golden arrow struck like lightning, instantly penetrating the beams of the hall and penetrating into the wall behind the hall. Qin Zhu was startled and said angrily: "Yue Gang Gong! Damn it! This woman Li Chunjin, how dare she You are so bold, sneak attack on my army! Everyone follow me and kill this woman!"
"No, no! This is a Yue Gang Bow. Even the best masters can't stop it. Sect Master, we must not be fooled. Now that the army has been shattered, we should retreat quickly. It won't be too late to take revenge tomorrow." Luo Jiuzhou was already frightened. My legs are shaking. Although people call him a nine-aperture exquisite heart, and Qin Zhu also praises him as a strategist, in fact he is also a fool, he only knows some harmful tricks, but he doesn't really know how to fight. What's more, if you really have an exquisite heart, how can you associate with evil?
The same goes for other generals. They are a group of jackals and poisonous snakes. They always like to sneak attack others and besiege others. They have no experience in big battles. When he saw the opponent coming, he instinctively wanted to run for his life. They hurriedly surrounded Qin Zhu and persuaded him to retreat.
"Okay! Retreat. I will take revenge tomorrow. Military advisor, where should we retreat now?" Qin Zhu saw that the army had no intention of fighting, so he could only retreat. Luo Jiuzhou was sweating on his forehead. He looked at the crazy attacks outside and said urgently: "Retreat to the north. There is a ravine to the north. The terrain is complicated. The enemy has not surrounded us wherever we come."
"Okay, retreat to the north!" Qin Zhu immediately ordered everyone to retreat to the north.
To the south of Huzhai, seeing Qin Zhu's group retreat, Luofan looked at Li Chunjin and said with a smile: "The timing of the battle is the most important, and if you want to seize the opportunity, information is the most important. Why did Qin Zhu lose like this? First, he expected you to be a woman. It is impossible to dare to attack him in advance. Secondly, in the final analysis, he is just a gangster with no experience in leading troops in war. His soldiers are undisciplined and have no ability to deal with surprise attacks. Even if we touch him, he will not I know. To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of gangsters who like to bully the small. If Qin Zhu is a battle-hardened general, our sneak attack may not be successful tonight."
Li Chunjin nodded and said: "Well, this battle was indeed won easily. Qin Zhu's army has been defeated, and the only direction he can retreat to is the north you deliberately left. There are many ambushes in the north, and Qin Zhu will definitely not have many soldiers left here. Okay. Let’s intercept it quickly.”
Qin Zhu led 10,000 remnants, holding torches, and fled in embarrassment toward the northern ravines. Behind the dark rocks and among the trees on both sides of the mountain road, Luofan had already arranged for crossbowmen to take advantage of the terrain. Five hundred of them, in groups, kept throwing out spears and making sneak attacks.
Qin Zhu and the others couldn't see the enemy clearly at night and had no possibility of fighting back. It was too late to retreat and they could only rush forward desperately. In the blink of an eye, most of the men and horses were lost. The military advisor Luo Jiuzhou had no real ability. Qin Zhu and other masters ran for their lives without caring about him. He was trampled to death by the chaotic soldiers on the way. Finally escaping from Beigou, Qin Zhu had less than 2,000 men left to break through.
"Damn it, you idiot Luo Jiuzhou! This north is a trap deliberately left by the enemy for us. He can't even see such a simple strategy. It's wasted my time to cultivate him. If you had just followed my instructions and rushed out, you wouldn't have suffered any losses. So miserable. That Li Chunjin is not simple, he is cruel and merciless, and he dares to want to put me to death. It seems that I underestimated her. When I return to the Red Blood Sect, she will definitely make her pay with blood. ." Fleeing into a forest, Qin Zhu's hair crown was scattered and his uniform was torn. He knocked him down and shouted with a look of resentment.
Li Hukui followed closely, touched the blood on his face, and said: "It's your mother's bad luck. In the past, we attacked others secretly, but today we were punished by a mother-in-law. We are the only ones left in the 50,000-strong army. It’s really hateful. When I catch that bitch, I’m going to kill her!”
call! Suddenly countless torches lit up in all directions. Immediately afterwards, the sound of neat footsteps shook the earth. Seeing thousands of armored shield guards walking from all sides, they walked in unison and held up iron shields as tall as a man, as if they were surrounded by powerful men from all sides.
