Wang Ziying died, Zang Bajun's morale is booming!
At this time, the rebel army, Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai, were still advancing slowly. After almost a quarter of an hour, the rebel army finally arrived at the Han army...
"What! General Wang Ziying was beheaded by the Han army?"
When Wang Ziying's favorite general saw his general being defeated by the Han army, he couldn't help but feel sad. He turned around and sought help from generals such as Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai. He wished he could kill all the Han troops immediately to pay homage to Wang Ziying's spirit in heaven.
Seeing the soldier's eyes full of murderous intent against the Han army, Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai looked at each other, and then ordered the vanguard officer, Wang Ziying's confidant, to lead the more than two hundred elite soldiers who followed them to deal with it. The Han army only wanted to take back Wang Ziying's head so that he could be buried in peace.
When the soldier saw that Tian Yunpeng appointed him as the vanguard officer, he couldn't help but be stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face. When he saw Tian Yunpeng smiling at him and nodding in acquiescence, he became excited and kowtowed, thanking Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai for giving him revenge. Opportunity.
In the heart of the soldier, he naturally felt that after he served as the vanguard, the two generals Liang Shitai and Tian Yunpeng would cooperate with him to defeat the Han army. Help yourself to respond and attack...
I have to say that this guy really thought too much and made up a lot of stuff in his head. For example, he led more than two hundred soldiers on the battlefield, single-handedly entered and exited the thousands of troops, and killed the generals of the Han army. , and cut the flag and recapture Wang Ziying's head! Finally, he will make great achievements, advance step by step, and become the overlord of his generation.
The soldier's eyes were gleaming, and he directly led more than 200 soldiers in the army to rush towards Zang Ba's army!
Who knows, when the vanguard officer was charging to kill, Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai raised the corners of their mouths slightly, revealing a sinister smile. Immediately after raising their arms, more than a hundred of the more than two hundred soldiers suddenly rebelled and waved their swords at their 'comrades' beside them.
The reason why these more than a hundred people pointed their swords at their colleagues was because of Tian Yunpeng's instructions!
When Tian Yunpeng went to Mount Tai, he brought more than a hundred elite soldiers with him. At this time, he had a place to use them. In just a few breaths, of the more than 200 attacking soldiers sent by the rebel army, only Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai and a group of soldiers who followed Tian Yunpeng to Mount Tai to surrender.
The beloved general of Wang Ziying, who was temporarily appointed as the vanguard officer, was beheaded by the soldiers beside him before he could react to the civil strife among the officers. He could only fall into a pool of blood with a confused look on his face and die with his eyes open!
After a few breaths, all the rebel soldiers were killed. Generals Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai breathed a sigh of relief. They came to the side of Zang Ba and other generals, chatting and laughing.
Now we have to wait for Qi Jiguang's fire attack. As long as the fire is good, Taishan Bandit King Bo's strength will be severely damaged, and he may not be able to recover in two or three years.
"Soldiers, withdraw your troops!"
After getting rid of the thieves such as Wang Ziying, Zang Ba and other Han generals, Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai spent some time to prepare to withdraw their troops and return to Qi Jiguang's army.
Seeing that Zang Ba and the others were about to leave, Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai could no longer continue chatting about home affairs. They watched Zang Ba and the others retreat... and then headed back to the dense forest where the rebel army was located.
Let us turn our perspective to Qi Jiguang!
I saw Qi Jiguang's army living upwind in the dense forest, with a group of soldiers holding torches, waiting for news from the scouts.
"Report! The thief general Wang Ziying, generals Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai, and general Zang Ba have successfully merged."
The scouts worked nonstop and hurriedly told Qi Jiguang and other generals present the news they had received. As soon as his words came out, Qi Jiguang knew the current situation. He raised his arms and shouted, and then all the soldiers in the army raised the torches in their hands. After two breaths, they threw them out with all their strength...
Sparks splashed on the dead branches and leaves, plus the help of kerosene!
A single spark has turned into a prairie fire.
In an instant, strong winds arose, the fire spread, and thick smoke billowed, burning all the way downwind.
At this scene, Qi Jiguang and other Han soldiers looked happy. With the help of the raging flames and the strong wind, it was impossible for the bandits to escape!
The raging fire spread quickly and reached the rebel army in less than a quarter of an hour. The bandits resting on the spot, some of them still sleeping soundly, were buried in the sea of fire and turned into blackened charcoal.
"Run quickly, this is an ambush from the Han army!"
Wang Hua shouted, and then ran away, trying to use the horse's leg power to beat the speed of the fire.
Ridiculous!
This raging fire was assisted by strong winds. In just three breaths, it swallowed up the Wang Hua. The only thing that could be seen was that it was twisting and falling down in the sea of flames. Endless wailing sounds could be heard in the sea of fire. It's frightening. During this period, there was even a smell of charred meat...
The rebel general Wang Hua died, and the other generals fled to other places. For example, Bai Yusuo went to the northwest of the sea of fire, Zuo Xiaoyou went to the northeast of the sea of fire, and Chai Baochang went all the way to the west, hoping to rely on the divine horse under his crotch Escape from the circle of spreading flames!
As the saying goes, fire and water have no mercy.
The spread of the flames directly swallowed up the entire army led by Liang Shitai. The reason for this was mainly because the place where the army led by Liang Shitai rested was too close to the flames. When the fire spread, it was already too late by the time they noticed it, but there was an army led by Tian Yunpeng blocking them. This makes escape extremely difficult, and the bandits can only end up dying in a sea of fire and turning into a handful of dust.
At this time, the thief army was in chaos. The thief general ignored the soldiers under his command and only focused on escaping! The wounded man could not move and could only lie on the ground and cry, begging his colleagues to take him away! What's more, when they see the raging fire coming, they lose their courage, their legs weaken, and they fall to the ground, waiting for the heat wave to come.
The eighteenth level of hell may be such a miserable situation...
The fire continued to burn for two hours, turning the dense forest into ruins. There were countless corpses of thieves or jungle animals!
The green dense forest turned into black in the blink of an eye... The fire first received the help of the wind to burn, and then burned all the combustibles and annihilated itself.
The rebels suffered heavy casualties. Four generals, Yang Shiluo, Qi Gongshun, Cheng Fu and Li Tongde, perished in the sea of fire.
At this time, only the five generals Guo Zihe, Peng Hu, Bai Yusuo, Zuo Xiaoyou, and Chai Baochang escaped. They were originally behind the army. After hearing the news of the spread of the flames, they leaned on their crotches The good horse and his wits flew all the way, and finally became the survivor of this raging fire!
The five generals were disgraced and looked at a large number of their own soldiers perished in the sea of fire. They were all miserable. When I was feeling sad again, I suddenly thought about my own generals Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai, wondering what their current situation was.
This really means that the general will arrive soon.
Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai were seen rushing forward with hundreds of elite soldiers, gathering soldiers along the way, and within a quarter of an hour they were beside the surviving generals.
Looking at the eyes of the surviving thief generals, Tian Yunpeng pretended to be excited, grabbed Peng Hu's hand, and then hugged him and several nearby generals into his arms, pretending to express his gratitude and concern for their survival.
"General Yunpeng, we encountered an ambush by the Han army and suffered heavy casualties. What should we do?"
Peng Hu opened his mouth and asked Tian Yunpeng how to do it with a sad look on his face. However, Tian Yunpeng felt helpless at this time. He didn't expect that even after the fire attack, he still couldn't wipe out all the bandits. Nearly 5,000 people survived...
If these five thousand men continue to attack, they may severely damage the Han army. This is not what Tian Yunpeng wants to see.
"First gather all the surviving soldiers, and then arrange for military doctors to come for treatment. Let's stay in the villages near here for a few days!"
What Tian Yunpeng said was agreed and recognized by all the soldiers. The army rested, which would also create conditions for Qi Jiguang and others to ambush at the river crossing later.
Returning to Qi Jiguang's army, he saw Zang Ba, the commander of the army who killed Wang Ziying, returning. He instinctively returned to the army and accepted Qi Jiguang's arrangement.
"Where is Zang Ba?"
"The general is here!"
Looking at Zang Ba in front of him, Qi Jiguang nodded and whispered a sentence. He said that Zang Ba was calm, calm, cautious, and had the air of a general. He would definitely not have to worry about being promoted to an official or a title in the future.
"Thank you for the compliment, General. What should we do next?"
Zang Ba spoke and asked Qi Jiguang what should he do next? This question was asked by Qi Jiguang.
Now that the dense forest was burned to the ground, only half of the bandit army was dead or injured. I thought they would have no chance of escaping, but I never expected that half of them managed to escape. This made the generals of the Han army very angry, and they declared that they would lead their troops to charge forward and kill all the thieves.
Qi Jiguang frowned, summoned Zang Ba, and asked him to lead an army of 500 people. They would go all the way up the river, intercept the water flow in the river, control the water level, and use water to defeat the rebel army!
Zang Ba obeyed the order and then led the army away. Qi Jiguang himself planned to take the remaining army to seize the fishermen's boats along the river, thus ending the bandits' dream of crossing the river by boat.
When the thieves have no boats to cross, they will find a way to swim across the river. At this time, the soldiers on the shore can use their bows and arrows to shoot the thieves in the river.
If the thieves hold their breath and hide in the water, they can call Zang Ba to break the embankment and release the water, so that the huge waves can teach these thieves.
This plan is interconnected. As long as the bandit army dares to cross the river, the end result will be that the entire army will be annihilated!
The plan of the Han Army Department has been arranged, and then some details need to be paid attention to, such as: What should we do if the rebel army returns to Mount Tai? What if the bandit army crosses the river in batches?
In terms of details, Qi Jiguang also arranged for his generals to go and make amends, so that the clothes would be perfect so that the thieves would not be able to feel anything and then relax their vigilance...
"In that case, let's take action!"
The plan setting has been completed, now it’s time to put it into action!
First of all, the task of collecting ships along the coast was left to Yang Zhi, so that he could bring money with him to win the favor of the people and make them willing to donate their own ships.
This time, after collecting the ships, Mi Fang of the Xuzhou Army and other soldiers were asked to cross the river, ambush on the other side of the river, prepare a pot full of arrows, and snipe the thieves in the river.
There is also a plan to prevent the thieves from escaping. Qi Jiguang sent Shunfeng Ergaojue with a thousand soldiers to hide in the dense forest a little above the river, allowing them to act according to the opportunity. If the thieves had the intention to retreat, the entire army would rush out and carry out the plan. block.
If the entire band of thieves crosses the river, they can all attack out and coordinate with the Xuzhou Army to kill the thieves in the river.
The defeat of the bandit army has become a foregone conclusion!
Returning to Tian Yunpeng and Liang Shitai, they led the army to rest for a few days. Seeing that the time was right, they raised their arms and shouted for their soldiers to continue marching and prepare to cross the river.
"General Yunpeng, we need boats to cross the river. I am willing to go to the households along the river to recruit boats. What do you think?"
Bai Yusuo came out and said that he knew the rivers along the way very well. I want to help requisition the boats (actually I plan to go to the people along the river to ask for some protection money)
Tian Yunpeng listened to Bai Yusuo's words, thought about it and realized that it was not necessary to worry about such a trivial matter, so he sent him to requisition ships.
Who knows that Bai Yusuo has caused indelible harm to the people along the river! They burned, killed, looted and committed evil crimes, which made the people along the river hate the Taishan bandits deeply, and they turned to cooperate with the Han army in fighting.
The bandits arrived at the river bank and saw that there was no one on the other side, which made everyone feel a little relieved. The army was stationed in place, waiting for Bai Yusuo to commandeer a ship to return, but an hour passed, the sky turned dark, and Bai Yusuo did not come back...
It wasn't until late at night that Bai Yusuo slowly returned!
Taking a closer look, I saw that he was returning empty-handed. He had been busy for most of the day but did not bring back a boat...
Tian Yunpeng pretended to be angry, and Liang Shitai and Liang Shitai were both good and bad, asking what the thief had been doing for so long, which delayed the fight!
I saw that Liang Shitai first softly called General Bai Yusuo to work hard and asked him to bring the ship for a look. This move was mainly to pave the way for Tian Yunpeng's anger later.
"This...General Liang Shitai, it's not that I am incompetent...those unscrupulous people gave all the ships to Han dogs."
Bai Yusuo looked aggrieved, but he couldn't make Tian Yunpeng soften his heart. I saw that Tian Yunpeng was not powerful and was angry. He pointed at Bai Yusuo and cursed him angrily, saying that he was incompetent, delayed the fight, and might be suspected of contacting the Han army after being out for so long.
As soon as Tian Yunpeng said these words, Bai Yusuo was so frightened that he trembled all over, fell to his knees, begged for his life, and then told the story of leading the army to collect protection money.
"Where is the money? Turn it all over, otherwise you will be questioned! Do you hear me? Go quickly!"
The number of people along the river is not large, but it is not small either. Bai Yusuo must have gained a lot of benefits by searching all along the way! However, Dou Jiang will take these benefits into his own pocket.
Tian Yunpeng shouted loudly, which made Bai Yusuo turn pale with fright. He nodded and said yes, then bowed and led his soldiers to hand over the harvested money...
"This time it was good! I also made a lot of money. I will transport it back to our army when the time comes."
Liang Shitai had a smile on his face, and he wanted to return home as fast as an arrow. He wished he could immediately deal with the rebel army under his command, and then return to his own power.
