Sun An kept making moves. One of his moves was blocked by Suo Chao, and he struck out with another sword in his backhand.
Suo Chao could only grit his teeth and continue to swing the mountain-breaking ax to resist, but Sun An was very powerful and it was difficult for Suo Chao to parry.
"Xiang Cai, we can't fight like this, the enemy is attacking the rear!"
Wen Da looked at Cai You and shouted, "Their rear is the weakest. The two teams of Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun are overwhelming. If they don't think of a way, they will be defeated in an instant."
"Let's go!"
What can Cai You do? Now he just wants to leave quickly.
Sun Li on the other side watched all this with cold eyes. He didn't even mean to help. He just waited for the army to be defeated. It seemed good to take him to Liangshan as a prisoner.
"Gather in formation!"
Wen Da and Li Cheng saw that Cai You was only thinking about escaping, and knew that they could no longer ask Cai You for instructions at this time, so they shouted to command the army to assemble.
The panicked soldiers quickly gathered together and formed a circular military formation.
"The shield soldiers are outside, the spearmen are defending, and the crossbows are ready!"
Li Cheng loudly ordered that the first thing to stabilize now is morale, and the key to stabilizing morale is to block the enemy's pincer attack.
Seeing that the formation of the army was completed, Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun led their troops to bypass it, with no intention of attacking. Sun An, who was facing the front, also led his troops to retreat.
Li Cheng and Wen Da breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. This wave of attack was blocked.
"Quick, form your formation and retreat slowly to set up camp!"
Wen Da ordered to the army that the morale of this warrior had declined and it was impossible to attack by force. They could only retreat and rest first.
"Why are you leaving now?"
Sun Li frowned as he looked at the retreating Liangshan army. The army had already suffered a rout just now. As long as the Liangshan army was determined and fought to the end, the only way out for these 50,000 soldiers would be a disastrous defeat.
"There are too few soldiers and horses in Liangshan, only seven or eight thousand people. If there is a fight, the casualties will not be small."
Luan Tingyu knew something about Liangshan. Sun Lei didn't like too many casualties. Every time he fought, he tried to reduce unnecessary fighting as much as possible.
"What can we do? Xiao Jiasui and those people don't recognize me at all."
Sun Li didn't care about that much, he was just thinking about how to surrender.
"Send a few people over tonight to explain the situation! If they are willing, then we will act as internal agents and help them destroy these officers and soldiers."
Luan Tingyu said.
"Okay, let's do it!"
Sun Li nodded in agreement, and immediately selected a few trusted soldiers. After giving clear instructions, he quietly left the team.
"General Sun, Prime Minister Cai invites several people to go to the Chinese army to discuss military affairs."
A soldier came on horseback to report.
Sun Li frowned, but he still went to the central army with Luan Tingyu. They couldn't be exposed yet.
Daming Mansion.
"Military advisor, capture some spies!"
Su Sheng reported to Xiao Jiasui.
"Spy? Bring him here."
Xiao Jiasui nodded, and several tied spies were brought up by the soldiers.
"Your Majesty, we are subordinates of General Sun Li, and General Sun Li is also from Liangshan!"
Several spies who were tied up shouted immediately when they saw Xiao Jiasui and others.
"Okay, what did Sun Li ask you to do?"
Xiao Jiasui heard the shout and knew that these people were sent intentionally by Sun Li.
"General Sun Li..."
Several soldiers immediately told what Sun Li wanted them to bring.
"Okay, take him down and lock him up!"
Xiao Jiasui waved her hands after hearing this.
"Military advisor, it seems that Sun Li is really going to surrender!"
Suisheng said.
"Ignorant of current affairs, my brother has cooperated with him in so many dramas, and now he surrenders if he says he wants to? Then wouldn't the drama we acted in be in vain!"
Xiao Jiasui shook his head and said, Sun Lei had a purpose in training Sun Li.
"Military advisor, I never understand why my brother wants Sun Li to be an undercover agent? We have acted in a lot of dramas with him."
Su Sheng asked curiously, but Sun Li did not bring any substantial benefits to Liang Shan. Liang Shan knew more about Tokyo intelligence than Sun Li.
"Tokyo is a fortified city. It will not be easy for us to defeat it. With Sun Li, the current general of Guide, and the future Taiwei, it will be much easier."
Xiao Jiasui said, "If you trade one Sun Li for the city of Tokyo, you won't lose anything."
"I see!"
Fu Sheng said with a smile that they had never thought about the difficulty of attacking Tokyo. They were generals and were not afraid of difficulties when leading troops in battle. But if there was a trick in the enemy's headquarters, then the city, no matter how strong it was, would be like a piece of tofu.
"But now Sun Li is determined to rebel against the imperial court. If he really comes here, there is nothing we can do!"
Hua Rong frowned and said, Sun Li's attitude was already obvious, and it was hard for them to actually kill him.
"Stick to the city these days and don't go out anymore! We'll wait until my brother comes to tell us everything."
Xiao Jiasui said, as long as they ignore Sun Li, then Sun Li will have no way to surrender, and Sun Li can't lose face and run to the city and shout that he is Liangshan Xizuo, please open the door quickly.
For the next two days, the city gates of Damingfu were closed, and the city walls were heavily guarded, as if they could not escape.
This move completely confused the officers and soldiers, and they were all filled with doubts.
"How is this going?"
No matter how stupid Cai You was, he realized something was wrong. They had obviously lost for a while, so why did they end up like Liangshan's disastrous defeat?
"Is there a shortage of food and grass in Liangshan?"
Someone said that the only thing that could explain all this was that there was a problem within the Daming Mansion, and the most likely cause of such a problem was the supply of food and grass.
"It's impossible. Daming Mansion has enough food and grass. Let alone the people in Liangshan, even an army of 50,000 can't eat them all in a year!"
Li Cheng immediately said, Daming Mansion is the Beijing of the Song Dynasty, and the treasury is full. Liang Zhongshu took nothing with him when he left, and did not burn it. All the money and food were cheap for Liangshan, how could there be a shortage of food and grass.
"The spies sent out didn't find anything. Daming Mansion is calm and there is no turmoil in the city."
Wenda said.
"Now what?"
Cai You looked at everyone and asked, the enemy is not leaving the city now, but he doesn't know what to do, and he is afraid of conspiracy when he goes to attack the city.
"Xiang Cai, if you want to attack the city, you need equipment. If you have nothing to do now, why not build the equipment on the spot first!"
Someone suggested.
"Okay, pass the order and build siege equipment!"
Cai You immediately gave the order, and everyone followed the order and went out.
"Prime Minister Cai, how do you write this military report?"
A Yuhou asked Cai You in a low voice. When the army is out, they must write military reports and send them to Tokyo every few days.
"Write like this... Our army faced the enemy ten miles outside Daming Mansion... Cai You, the young master of Xuanfu in Hebei Province, took the lead and charged forward regardless of the arrows. The whole army fought bravely behind. They fought bloody for a day and night, and defeated the thieves. More than three thousand thieves were killed, and the thieves retreated to Daming Mansion and could not come out..."
Cai You thought for a moment and immediately spoke. The clerk on the side immediately wrote quickly and recorded Cai You's words.
After finishing writing, the secretary handed the report to Cai You for review.
"Well, that's good. Use the seal and send it to Tokyo as a rush!"
After reading it, Cai You nodded with satisfaction. (End of chapter)
