After that, Hua Rong and Zhang Qing continued to fire arrows and flying stones at Fang La. Even Ye Tianlong fired a few arrows. Unfortunately, because Fang La's generals and guards tried their best to block him, none of the arrows and flying stones shot at him were at all. The arrows hit his vitals, and only one of the arrows hit his left shoulder.
The two sides chased and fled, and soon entered the Bangyuan Cave. After actually entering it, Ye Tianlong discovered that the terrain here was complicated and there were many cave entrances. Fang Lajun was obviously very familiar with the terrain here. After quickly drilling into these caves a few times, Ye Tianlong and the others were completely lost.
Faced with this situation, Ye Tianlong and the others could only temporarily withdraw from Bangyuan Cave, and then go outside to find a few prisoners of Fang Lajun who were familiar with the terrain inside the Gangyuan Cave to lead the way.
When Ye Tianlong and the others returned to the cave, the battle outside was almost over. Ye Tianlong selected two prisoners who were familiar with the terrain of the source cave among the newly captured prisoners, and then selected two thousand elite soldiers. , and went into the cave with him to search for Fang La.
With the two prisoners of Fang La's army who were familiar with the terrain leading the way, Ye Tianlong quickly found traces of Fang La and others. These guys were hiding in a huge cave. In this huge cave, there were many artificial The traces of carvings seem to have been decorated to look like a palace. At the top of the palace, there is a dragon chair that seems to be made of gold. Below it are two rows of mahogany chairs with the same exquisite workmanship. It seems to be the civil servants and generals under Fang La's command. seats.
Seeing Ye Tianlong leading his troops to pursue him, Fang Laqiang, who had just asked his men to bandage the wound on his left arm, stood up and held up his Yanyue Sword, seemingly wanting to continue resisting.
"Fang La! You have been defeated. Stop resisting and surrender immediately!" Before Ye Tianlong took action, he persuaded Fang La and others to surrender for the last time.
However, he was answered by several arrows, so Ye Tianlong was no longer polite and immediately asked his crossbowmen to shoot arrows towards the opposite side.
Obviously, the firepower of the crossbowmen under Ye Tianlong was stronger. After several rounds of arrow rain, Fang Lajun's side had no more arrows to shoot, and could only faintly hear bursts of screams.
Dozens of heavy infantrymen holding large shields carefully stepped forward under Ye Tianlong's order and lit all the torches that had been extinguished by arrows in the cave, immediately restoring light to the cave.
"Fang La is going to run! Stop him!" Just after the light had just returned to the cave, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang immediately shouted loudly.
Ye Tianlong and the others looked in the direction pointed by his hand and found that Fang La was indeed heading towards a small hole that had just been opened under the cover of two soldiers.
Seeing Ye Tianlong and the others discovered the traces of their lord, they began to encircle and pursue them. Fang La's dozen or so men who were still alive, regardless of their injuries from arrows, roared and stepped forward to intercept, trying to fight for their lord. Enough time to escape.
Upon seeing this, the Winged Tiger Lei Heng immediately relied on its own strong jumping power to pass over the heads of the intercepting sergeants Fang La with a few leaps, and quickly rushed to Fang La.
The two remaining soldiers beside Fang La pulled out their swords from their waists and turned around to shoot. Lei Heng waved the simple sword in his hand and struck out with his sword. Immediately, the two soldiers of Fang La were killed by him with their weapons. Split into two pieces.
At this time, another ray of sword light struck towards his face. Lei Heng flicked the Pu Dao in his hand with his backhand, and used the tail of the knife to knock away the Yanyue Dao. Then he slashed out with his backhand, immediately killing the attacker. A large incision was made in the man's throat.
Lei Heng had just realized that the person he had just chopped was Fang La. He took a closer look and found that the person he had just chopped was indeed Fang La. He had cut half of the opponent's neck open, and the blood was flowing out. It quickly sprayed out from the wound.
Fang La raised his hand to cover the wound on his neck, but it could not slow down the blood spurting out at all. After just a few seconds, the leader of the Ming Cult fell down with a look of reluctance on his face, and soon he was completely lost. regained vitality.
At this time, Ye Tianlong and the others also eliminated the recalcitrant soldiers of Fang La's army. They found that Fang La had also stopped eating, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
However, the other party died simply because he continued to resist until death, so Lei Heng couldn't be blamed.
After that, everyone began to clean up the battlefield. To Ye Tianlong's surprise, there was actually a large amount of gold and silver jewelry hidden in Fang Lajun's lair. These gold and silver jewelry were hidden in more than a dozen large boxes, all of which had been placed there before. The corner was covered with black cloth, so Ye Tianlong and the others didn't notice it.
Ye Tianlong is currently expanding his army and is consuming a lot of money. These gold and silver came at the right time.
And just when Ye Tianlong and the others were preparing to move the last box away, Iron Flute Immortal Malin heard a strange noise inside the box. He listened carefully and found that there seemed to be a faint heartbeat coming from inside the box. out.
So he quickly signaled Yang Chun, the white-flowered snake beside him, with his eyes. One of them was holding a double knife, and the other was holding a brow-tip knife. After approaching the box lightly, the two of them suddenly took action and chopped the box into pieces. Come on.
As the box shattered, a woman hiding inside appeared in everyone's sight. Yang Chun, the white-flowered snake, reached out to grab the woman, but the woman screamed and rolled around, avoiding the white-flowered snake Yang Chun's capture.
The two Fang Lajun prisoners who were called by Ye Tianlong to lead the way couldn't help but exclaimed in unison after seeing the woman's appearance clearly: "It's Princess Jinzhi!"
At this time, Iron Flute Immortal Ma Lin blocked Princess Jinzhi who was still trying to get up and run away at the other end, and finally teamed up with Yang Chun to capture her.
At this time, Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying came forward and took a look at Princess Jinzhi. Seeing her beauty, he immediately shamelessly said to his eldest brother Song Jiang: "Brother Gongming, didn't you promise to find me a wife before?" Well! I think this Princess Jinzhi is pretty good, why don’t you go and be a matchmaker for me and make my little brother’s wish come true!”
As soon as Wang Ying finished speaking, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang immediately said to him with a look of contempt: "You, a short and ugly ghost, also want to marry a princess, you should pee first and see if you are worthy." ?”
"Liu Tang! What do you mean? Why am I not worthy of marrying a princess?" After hearing Liu Tang's sarcastic words, Wang Ying immediately raised the spear in his hand, pointed it at the opponent, and stared at Liu with a pair of mung bean eyes. Tang asked with a fierce look on his face.
Liu Tang was not timid at all when facing Wang Ying's provocation. He raised the sword in his hand and stared back fiercely with his big eyes.
Just when the two people stared at each other and were about to fight, Ye Tianlong noticed that after Princess Jinzhi took a look at the body of her father Fang La, a trace of extremely strong hatred immediately flashed in her eyes. .
Although the other party quickly hid this look of hatred later, it was even more terrifying in Ye Tianlong's view. This woman was probably planning to pretend to be submissive first, and wait until she had the opportunity to cause trouble behind him in order to avenge her father. .
In order to avoid chaos due to Princess Jinzhi in the future, Ye Tianlong pulled out the Tang Dao from his waist, strode up to the opponent, slashed out with the knife, and chopped off the opponent's head.
Liu Tang and Wang Ying, who were about to start the fight, couldn't help but be frightened by Ye Tianlong's ruthless knife. After all, in their impression, the emperor of the Qinglong Empire was actually a good old man. When meeting their eldest brother Song Jiang and even those When Fang Lajun was demoted, he had a kind smile on his face, but now, without saying a word, he was cut down by the beautiful Princess Jinzhi with one knife. With such a strong contrast, no wonder he was frightened. Two people.
In order to prevent His Majesty the Emperor from suddenly giving them a blow, the two of them did not dare to continue fighting among themselves, and went to help carry the trophies in unison.
After spending a day plundering all the loot in the source cave, Ye Tianlong led his army back to Hangzhou City.
Later, Ye Tianlong sent Song Jiang to lead an army of 50,000 to continue to sweep away the Mingjiao rebels who had fled to various places, and at the same time began to reorganize the more than 100,000 surrendered Mingjiao troops.
Many of the soldiers here were directly kicked out of the army by Ye Tianlong. After paying some travel expenses, they sent these old and weak people back to their hometown to farm. There were still some useful soldiers who were incorporated into the militia. There were probably more than 30,000 soldiers in this group. The last part is those with good strength and can be directly incorporated into the ranks of regular soldiers. The number of soldiers in this part is the least, only more than 2,000. This is not only due to the fact that Fang La's army expanded too quickly and the quality of the army was not good, but also because many elites were loyal to Fang La and died on the battlefield.
After spending about half a month to completely pacify the Jiangnan area that had been devastated by Fang La's army, Ye Tianlong left hundreds of thousands of militiamen stationed here to maintain law and order, and he led the army back to Tokyo City.
Due to the current shortage of officials in his hands, the newly occupied territories he has now occupied may have to maintain this state of military control for a long time in the future.
And just after Ye Tianlong led his army back to Tokyo City, he immediately heard good news and bad news.
The good news is that Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was beaten by the Xixia people and lost his troops. Now he has lost all the Xingqing Mansion. Zhong Shidao, the only general under his command who is relatively capable of fighting, has also died in the battle. Now he can only He hid all the way to Chengdu to survive.
The bad news is that those Xixia people occupy the territory that originally belonged to the Song Dynasty. These territories have long been regarded by Ye Tianlong as his own territory. Those Xixia people occupied so much at once, which made him very angry.
And those Xixia people seemed to be in high spirits with continuous battles and victories. Now they are divided into two groups, attacking Song Huizong Zhao Ji along the way, and continuing to fight towards Henan.
What's funny is that when the Xixia people were trying to fight in this direction, they were blocked by the other two rebel leaders of the Song Dynasty, Tian Hu and Wang Qing. battle.
According to the information obtained at this stage, it was the Xixia people who had the upper hand with their five thousand elite iron kite cavalry. Tian Hu and Wang Qing finally chose to join forces to withstand the Xixia army.
Ye Tianlong is happy to see this situation come to fruition. He plans to let the regular soldiers who have been fighting with him for a long time in Tokyo City to repair themselves for a while, and then wait until the Xixia people, Na Tianhu and Wang Qing are both injured in the fight. Then send troops to wipe out these two families together.
As a result, Ye Tianlong's side had just been repairing in Tokyo City for three days. In less than three days, the envoys sent by Wang Qing and Tian Hu arrived in Tokyo City.
These two guys sent envoys to ask for help from Ye Tianlong, the emperor of the Qinglong Empire. In order to allow Ye Tianlong to send troops as soon as possible, the two even directly agreed to submit to the Qinglong Empire. From now on, they would serve as military governors for Ye Tianlong and be responsible for The Qinglong Empire defends one side.
