For a full day, Duan Er was exhausted from the torment. The army and horses went back and forth, but they still couldn't even catch the shadow of the Song army.
In the end, Song Jun didn't even wait for them to pass. He ran over and shot a round of arrows at the top of the city. He cursed a lot of unpleasant words, greeted Wang Qing and Duan Er's family, and then ran away on horseback.
Duan Er was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and Wang Qing in the city also sent people to scold him. In the end, he had no choice but to garrison several thousand troops in the city, and did not withdraw until the third watch.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the Song army went around to harass them again. This time they scolded them even more harshly after shooting the arrows, so Duan Er had to send troops to station in Dongcheng and Xicheng again for one day.
That night, the Dazhai in the north city of Luzhou quietly moved. The soldiers wrapped the horses' hooves in linen, wrapped them with soft materials such as reed catkins, and dressed them neatly. They prepared their swords and guns, and then stood by in place.
The second person in the middle of the Chinese army's tent looked at the generals with blood-red eyes.
The past two days have been a torment for him. Not only did Song Jun harass him back and forth, but he also scolded Wang Qing and the Duan family. He even had Duan Sanniang murder her husband after her last marriage. The matter was also publicized loudly.
Everyone in the city heard it clearly, and it was estimated that it would be spread throughout Luzhou City in just a few days.
Duan Er couldn't bear it anymore. He had almost collected all the military tools at this moment, so he decided to steal the camp and rob the stronghold tonight.
Seeing that the time had reached midnight, he left Fang Han to guard the camp, and then gave the order for the generals to go out and mount their horses.
At this moment, Zhao Tong quietly approached and said: "The enemy camp is in danger, the marshal has a body of ten thousand gold, and the general is willing to protect you!"
Duan Er glanced at him and said with a smile: "General Li is determined. General Li has extraordinary martial arts skills. With you by my side, I can rest assured!"
As they left the camp while talking, the scouting horses from all directions dispersed immediately, and the army moved slowly and slowly towards the Song Army's camp eighteen miles away.
The moon was bright that night, illuminating the ground with white frost. Du Bo was the vanguard, holding a Zhangba snake spear in front to clear the way. Although Duan Er was annoyed by the harassment of the Song army for two days, he was at the end of the army and refused to step forward.
As the army walked, they scouted the horses and reported back. However, they did not notice the Song army's careful actions. It was not until they saw the Song camp from a distance that they vaguely saw a few Song soldiers patrolling the camp.
Du Bo reached out and took off the carved bow and arrow from the side of the horse. He turned around and whispered an order. The bridge soldiers and shovel soldiers behind him ran over with their waists high and tools in hand.
He took the lead and shot out a flurry of arrows from his hand, shooting down the soldiers patrolling inside the camp gate in a blink of an eye.
Then, the bridge soldiers began to quickly lay wooden planks and other objects on the trench in front, and the spade soldiers moved forward with tools in hand to explore the ground.
At this time, there was some noise in the Song camp, and torches began to light up. Du Bo saw that the planks in front of him were almost paved, so he raised his snake spear and rushed over.
The archers behind him covered him, and the pikemen lined up on both sides. He rushed to the gate of the Song army's camp within a few breaths.
At this time, the people and horses from behind also began to press forward. Although the Song camp was noisy, it seemed that they had not fully realized what had happened. There were only chaotic voices and horses neighing.
Du Bo was wearing black gold chain armor, holding a snake spear eight feet long, and a black horse on his hip. With just one shot, he flew the camp gate to both sides, making a loud noise.
It was only at this moment that chaos broke out in the Song camp.
I just heard someone shouting: "Oh no, the bandits are coming to steal the camp."
"Go and report to the commander!"
"Where are my clothes? Who took away my shoes?"
"Weapons, where are my weapons?"
Du Bo burst out laughing when he heard the sound, raised the snake spear in his hand to the sky, and shouted: "Follow me to the camp, we must capture that little boy Zhao Tong alive tonight!"
The bandit troops in the rear immediately screamed and rushed into the Song camp.
Du Bo entered the camp and looked for directions. He saw a handsome flag standing high not far in front. There was a large tent below that was unusual, wide and thick, and there was actually a red tassel hanging on the top of the tent. He couldn't help but feel happy, it was so light. Knocking on his horse, he ran towards the big tent.
But as he ran, doubts arose in his mind. There was no Song army blocking him in front of him. Even if the Song army was lazy and incompetent, this was a handsome tent, so why was it unguarded?
But at this moment, the big tent was right in front of him, and Du Bo didn't have time to think too much, he just rushed over with his spear and horse.
But just when he was about ten steps away from the big tent, he suddenly felt his body sink. The Wuzui horse screamed angrily, and then plunged forward.
Du Bo's eyes widened immediately. He had already seen that the horse's front hoof had missed the mark, and a dark horse pit appeared on the ground.
He yelled that it was not good, but the horse was heavy and the man was sinking. At this moment, the black horse was in the air, and even his body had no place to exert force, and they all fell into the pit.
Du Bo's head was buzzing. Even though he didn't know much about military affairs, but he wasn't stupid, he didn't know he had fallen into the trap.
But he couldn't bear to see his family falling into the pit. He suddenly let out a loud roar and plunged the eight-foot-long snake spear into the bottom of the pit!
Because the pit was meant to trap horses, it was dug very deep. It would not be a problem to cover one man and one horse. However, the Zhangba snake spear in Du Bo's hand was the longest among the horse soldiers, and it was different from the large assault rifle. Not much more than that.
This shot directly hit the bottom of the pit, and then he threw off the stirrups with his feet and jumped up with the power of the gun!
It's just that he was already burly and heavy, and he was wearing black gold armor. Even though the eight-foot-long snake spear was unusual, he couldn't withstand such a huge inertial weight. When he heard the "crunching" sound of the gun, Du Bo was shocked. , suddenly put more force on his waist, put one foot on the edge of the horse pit, and jumped up violently!
With a harsh sound, the snake spear broke, and Du Bo jumped up.
At this time, he saw many small soldiers emerging from the big tent, holding nets in their hands and holding ropes in their hands, running straight towards him.
Although Du Bo did not have a weapon in his hand at the moment, he was very skilled in martial arts. Although he was bound by a suit of armor, it was not something that a few soldiers could capture at will.
The soldiers shook the nets in their hands and failed several times. Just as Du Bo was about to run out, a sneer suddenly came from him: "Du Bo, since you have come in, don't even think about leaving!"
Du Bo was shocked when he heard this. He turned around and saw a tall man with a similarly tall build, colorful eyebrows, a face like a silver basin, and a dignified appearance.
The big man held a gold-plated gun in his hand and was looking at him coldly.
He knew this person, so he couldn't help but said angrily: "Lu Junyi, you have carried out such a despicable and shameless plan. How can you be a hero? Do you dare to fight me openly?"
Lu Junyi pointed his gun at Du Bo and said, "I don't know who is truly despicable and shameless. You and the thieves stole the camp in the middle of the night, but you still have the nerve to call us a hero!"
Du Bo was speechless when he heard this, but he said unwillingly: "Give me a weapon to fight with you, otherwise you won't be considered a hero if you win!"
Lu Junyi sneered and said: "What kind of heroes? Lu is an official and you are thieves. The heroes you call are just thieves in the green forest. How can I care about you? Don't mention it to me again!"
Du Bo's expression turned ugly when he heard this. He had followed Gong Duan on the expedition before, and had fought three battles with Lu Junyi on horseback in front of Shouzhou. They all ended in a deadlock, which was the only encounter in his life.
Now that he is trapped in the Song camp and has lost his weapons and horses, he wonders how he can be his opponent.
At this moment, a bang of clappers was heard from the Song camp, followed by arrows shooting out like flying feathers, and shouts of killing came from all directions.
On both sides of the camp outside, people and horses were killed from nowhere, and the darkness was overwhelming, catching the thieves who stole the camp by surprise.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Du Bo ran away and Lu Junyi shouted: "You good thief, where can you escape!"
The tip of his spear trembled and he was about to move the dragon out of the sea. Du Bo had no weapon in his hand to block it, so he had no choice but to shake his head like a lion to dodge the shot.
Seeing Lu Junyi smile coldly, he turned his gun back and used the Yaksha move to divert the water. Du Bo was shocked and hurriedly used the chick to throw himself into the forest to escape.
Then Lu Junyi moved the grass to look for snakes, and Du Bo couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart. He was heavily armored and it was difficult to hide, so he had to roll like a lazy donkey and get out.
Lu Junyi's big gun trembled, like a gangrene attached to the bone, he refused to leave Du Chuan even half a step, he collapsed, pressed, stabbed, picked, and pulled, and used all kinds of methods to suppress Du Chun until he was lifted up.
In the blink of an eye, another three or five moves passed by, and Du Bu's evasion speed was already too slow. Lu Junyi saw a flaw and used a wild move to part his mane. The diamond-gold gun shot Du Bu's back, knocking him to the ground. Somersaulting, when he wanted to dodge again, he saw that the bright tip of the spear was already touching his chest.
Du Bo's face turned pale, he closed his eyes and said, "Just do it!"
Lu Junyi snorted and said, "Come here, tie up this ugly guy!"
The soldiers on both sides immediately came forward, wiped their shoulders and covered their backs, and tied up Du Bo with the cowhide ropes.
Lu Junyi said: "Take this person to me behind, make sure you watch carefully and don't miss anything!"
The soldier took the order, tied a loop around Du Bo's head with the rope, and led him away. Du Bo felt ashamed and angry, but he had no choice but to pull and drag him to the back tent.
At this time, Lu Junyi held a spear in his hand, called for someone to lead the golden unicorn beast, got on his horse, and went straight to the front of the village.
At this time, there was a mass killing in front of the camp. There were quite a few thieves who had rushed into the camp with Du Bo. They were caught off guard by the ambushed Song army. They were killed and injured, and almost no one could escape.
Outside the camp, the Song troops who were ambushing on both sides were like wolves and tigers. They first shot arrows at the rebels, and when they got close, they switched to crossbows.
These military crossbows are all small hand crossbows. Although the range is not as far as that of bows and arrows, their penetrating power is extremely strong. They can hit the armor and slip through the cracks, and hit the leather armor directly through the bones.
The bandit army was originally well-equipped. They had harvested a lot of crossbows from the Song Army's two previous campaigns, but now they were caught off guard. By the time they reacted, many of them had already fallen to the ground.
At this moment, another group of people came out from the center of the camp, shouting loudly, "Capture Duan Er alive," "Capture Duan Er, cut his heart and liver out," "Cut Duan Er in pieces with thousands of knives and light the sky lanterns!"
The three sentry men and horses were all cavalry, and they rushed over with loud shouts and curses, and the cold light of their weapons.
Seeing this situation, the bandit army in front suddenly became chaotic. The bandit army's combat power is actually not high. In terms of guns and clubs, it is far inferior to the forbidden army. The bandit army's strength is their courage. They dare to fight and kill, but no matter how hard they dare to fight, An army that dares to kill will also panic if it is ambushed.
The shortcoming of the Forbidden Army is its courage. The Forbidden Army is timid, and timidity means that it cannot fight hard battles, and it cannot fight the kind of brave and fierce battles, but it can fight with the wind, and fight with the wind and pursue the victory. The most exciting.
At this time, there was chaos in front of the rebel army. Even if they didn't get the order, they turned around and ran back.
Although the rebel army behind did not know how the battle was going ahead, they heard the Song army shouting to capture Duan Er. At this time, they were surrounded by the troops in front and turned around to run away.
The generals in the rebel army were not that panicked, but at this time the front was defeated, and no one listened to what they shouted. Even if the grumpy general slashed a few with his sword, he still couldn't stop the rebel army from escaping backwards.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Even though Duan Er couldn't see the specific situation from behind, he could still hear the shouts of killing clearly. He couldn't help but shout "Ah!" "Could it be that I was ambushed?"
Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes at the side: "Marshal, withdraw!"
Duan Er was unwilling to give up, but when he heard the increasingly approaching voice of "Capture Duan Er alive", his face twitched and he glanced at Zhao Tong: "General Li, do you think we should withdraw?"
Zhao Tong said: "Marshal, we have been ambushed and nothing can be done. How long will it take if we don't retreat now?"
Duan Er sighed. He really couldn't save his face. He asked Zhao Tong just to find a stairway for his house. Since Zhao Tong persuaded him, he followed the instructions and said: "General Li, go and pass the commander's order to retreat!"
Zhao Tong said: "I accept the order!"
He turned his horse's head to convey the order, but there was no need to convey the order at this moment. The army had already turned around and ran back on its own.
Duan Er didn't dare to stop at this time. He took the soldiers around him and ran towards Luzhou City.
The Song army came in pursuit from the rear, and they pursued them all the way to the gate of Luzhou City. Fang Han received the report of the scouting horse, and hurriedly led his troops out to meet him. They had a melee with the Song army. Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, Fang Han withdrew his troops. Leave.
Duan Er ran into the camp in a hurry, took off his armor and sat in the tent, his face ashen and silent.
Fang Han collected his troops outside and counted them again. He came back and said, "Marshal, we lost seven to eight hundred people in total, and more than a thousand were injured."
Only then did Duan Er take a deep breath and said, "How could that kid Zhao Tong expect that this commander would go and steal the camp?"
Fang Han said: "That kid is cunning and cunning. He is no better than the people who led the army before. It can be seen from the battle of Shouzhou that the marshal must always be careful."
Duan Er glanced at the generals below and saw that all of them looked like defeated roosters with no energy. He couldn't help but coldly snorted: "Although we failed to steal the camp tonight, the losses were not great. I think the Song army's combat power is average." , even if it’s nothing more than an ambush.”
No one spoke below. Zhao Tong looked around and said, "What the marshal said is true. Although the battle situation tonight is unfavorable, there is no big loss. Although the Song army took advantage of the ambush, it has no combat power at all."
Duan Er stroked his beard and said, "Although we have lost a battle, we still have a clear picture of the Song army's strength. Only in this way can we know ourselves and the enemy. We can study countermeasures and see how to capture the Zhao Tong child alive."
Zhao Tong said: "The marshal has prepared for a rainy day, and I will admire him in the end."
The generals below all looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and they were all thinking in their hearts at this moment, can you two still lose some face?
