At the foot of Taihang Mountain, among the high mountains!
Song Jiang gathered a crowd to march eastward, and ordered his trusted general Li Kui to be the vanguard, leading three thousand swordsmen and axes to clear the way.
The army marched to the depths of the mountain stream and dense forest. It was getting dark. They wanted to rest the army for the night and continue on their way the next day.
In the deep mountains and dense forests, fire suddenly broke out everywhere, and the shouts of killing could not be heard. Song Jiang woke up from his dream, summoned the three men of the Ruan family to protect him, and organized his subordinates to fight back!
Through the flickering firelight in the forest, Song Jiang could clearly see the invading enemy's flag, with the characters "Lu" and "Han" written in capital letters.
"Damn it, the attacker is an officer of the Han Dynasty, Lu Junyi, one of the eight captains of Xiyuan. Why did he suddenly appear here?"
Without any time to think, Song Jiang fled and hid next to Hu Yanzhuo and other generals. After finding a safe place, he organized his subordinates to fight back.
Just as Song Jiang was gathering his soldiers, they were preparing to counterattack. But the fire was scattered, and the Han army retreated without a trace, leaving only a few flags with the word "Lu"...
"The Han army deserves to be damned. It makes people upset. Where is Hu Yanzhuo? Count the number of casualties in the army!"
Anyone who is awakened from a sweet dream will be upset. In addition, when he opened his eyes and saw his soldiers lying in a pool of blood, the Han invaders killed and injured more than a hundred of his soldiers in just one encounter.
Song Jiang was furious, with hatred burning in his heart. He immediately summoned four generals, Shi Yong, Huang Xin, Shan Kang, and Shamohai, and asked them to pursue the Han army in the direction of retreat.
"I will obey your orders!"
Watching the four generals leading the army in pursuit, they gradually moved away. Song Jiang let out a long sigh, put on his armor, and returned to camp to continue sleeping!
At the same time, in another dense forest at the foot of Taihang Mountain, a similar thing happened again. The officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, Lu Junyi and Xie Qichen, among the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan, were ordered to fight against the rebellion. They stationed troops at the foot of the mountain for several months. The big battle did not start, but small battles continued.
Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance at night, they suddenly saw fires everywhere, flags with Song characters waving, and hundreds of thieves attacking the camp. In an instant, he killed more than a hundred of his own soldiers, and then fled into the dense forest without a trace!
"The Yellow Turban thieves are so bold. Before I took the initiative to trouble them, they came to my door."
Lu Junyi's eyes widened with anger, veins popped out in his right arm that was holding the magic weapon tightly, and he held the reins in his left hand. The horse under his crotch made a snorting sound, and he repeatedly wiped the ground with his front hooves!
Without further ado, two generals, Lu Junyi and Xie Qichen, led more than 6,000 elite men under their command to pursue Song Jiang in the direction in which he was fleeing.
Little did they know that both Song Jiang and Lu Junyi had fallen into a trap at this time. Driven by anger, they didn't even pay attention to whether it was a trap. They just led the troops in pursuit and vented their anger.
A quarter of an hour flew by!
Generals Lu Junyi and Xie Qichen, based on the marching traces on the ground, took the lead in discovering the bandit army Shi Yong and others who were exploring the dense forest opposite.
Shi Yong and others within a hundred steps are walking targets! Lu Junyi secretly rejoiced. He leaned down and took off the treasured bow hanging on his horse. He and Xie Qichen beside him bent their bows and set arrows, aiming at the leader of the rebel army on the opposite side.
"Fire the arrow!"
Lu Junyi gave an order, twitched his fingers slightly, and the arrow shot out of the air with the force of thunder, hitting Shan Kang, the leader of the bandit army in the dense forest opposite, piercing his chest and killing him on the spot.
The same was true for Xie Qichen in another place. The arrow flew out, hit and pierced Shamohai's head. The red and white things exploded and splashed instantly, and Shi Yong was so shocked that he couldn't help but lose his mind.
Seeing the general firing an arrow, all the Han soldiers followed closely behind, bending their bows and setting arrows in one go. Suddenly, arrows rained down wildly in the direction of Shi Yong and the other thieves!
Valley "Ouch~"
Unfortunately, Shi Yong's left shoulder was injured by a flowing arrow. Blood slowly overflowed, the wound tore open, and the pain was unbearable. Seeing Lu Junyi, Xie Qichen and others approaching him, Shi Yong gritted his teeth and pushed Huang Xin away with all his strength, asking him to find Song Jiang to bring reinforcements and avenge himself!
Huang Xin still wanted to speak, but he saw that Shi Yong's face was pale. He held the end of the arrow tightly with his right hand, broke it, then bandaged it hastily, and then led the remaining army to rush towards Lu Junyi.
"Brother Huang Xin, go back and bring reinforcements. Let brother Gongming avenge me!"
Shi Yong's mouth was bleeding, like an evil ghost coming into the world, so terrifying. He was seen holding a weapon with one arm, leading the remaining soldiers to resist the offensive of Lu Junyi and others. Just when the battle was about to begin, Shi Yong turned to Huang Xin, grinned back, and then went into the battle.
Huang Xin's tiger eyes were red and bleeding, his iron teeth were clenched, he urged his horse and whipped his horse and galloped towards Songjiang along the traces left on the road!
"Thief, I see that you value love and justice, why don't you join me?"
Lu Junyi saw Shi Yong's actions clearly, felt pity in his heart, and began to love talents, so he threw an olive branch to Shi Yong and wanted to recruit him.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Shi Yong spat bloody spit in the direction of Lu Junyi, looked at Lu Junyi with contempt, and slowly said
"My loyal minister is not an official. You want to recruit me? Go ahead and live your mother's spring and autumn dream!"
As soon as Shi Yong said this, Lu Junyi was so angry that he became furious. He stopped talking nonsense and directly raised his gun and urged his horse to come to Shi Yong quickly. The gun came out like a dragon and tied him into a sieve, and he lifted the body on the tip of the gun. Serve as a warning to others.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Lu Junyi originally thought that after beheading Shi Yong, the remaining thieves would surrender after hearing the news, but he never thought that they would resist more fiercely and be fearless of death, causing considerable casualties to his own army.
Death to those who resist!
A quarter of an hour later, the battle was over, and all the thieves were wiped out. No one present survived. It was a great victory.
Victory in battle was a happy event, but General Lu Junyi looked at the corpses of the thieves and soldiers in front of him, shook his head secretly, his thoughts were disordered, and he fell into deep thought.
"I'm afraid the bandit army will come back here again. Let's set up an ambush first."
Finished! Xie Qichen then saw Xie Qichen raising his arms and shouting, instructing his soldiers to move the corpses on the battlefield, and then forged traces of his own army's retreat on the road.
After arranging the "careful arrangement" of his soldiers, Lu Junyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and showed joy. Then he and Xie Qichen arranged for his soldiers to hide in the dense forest and lay in ambush, waiting for the thieves to rescue the soldiers and take the bait.
"Master, are you sure that the thief will bring reinforcements over?"
When all the Han soldiers were hiding in the bushes, Lu's servant Yan Qing leaned over to Lu Junyi, reported the current surrounding information to him, and suggested that the troops could withdraw at this time to fight with Chunyu Qiong and other captains. Convergence.
Lu Junyi smiled and said nothing, put his ear to the ground, and motioned to Yan Qing to listen. Yan Qing understood immediately, leaned over and pressed his ears to the ground, and then noticed that the vibrations from the ground were getting louder and louder...
"All officers and men listen to orders, prepare for battle, and bend your bows to take aim!"
