"Encirclement and suppression of rebels——"
Cai Meng held up the long knife, looking like a madman, and kept roaring. In the past two or three days, it took a lot of effort to finally find the hiding rebels.
The three states joined together, with a total of more than 30,000 troops. For a moment, Cai Meng became very energetic. He even vaguely felt that he was the number one general in Dongling, and that Kang Zhu from Shanyue was nothing more than the lord's gentle policy.
"General Cai, be careful. This is a land of mountains and forests. Be careful of scams." Someone reminded him.
Cai Meng smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, there are not many rebels in Xishu anymore. Most of the remaining ones are sea people. I have been in Wuzhou for a long time, and I know that these sea people are just straw people. If good fishermen don't do anything, they will follow the rebellion. Hum, after suppressing the rebellion this time, I will definitely go to the fishing village over there to give a good shock!"
Most of the Hai people rebelled from Wuzhou and followed the rebels all the way here. This point made Cai Meng very angry. As the general of Zhenzhou in Wuzhou, he seemed to have lost a bit of face.
"Sword and Shield Hands, first line!"
Under Cai Meng's order, soon, three to four thousand Dongling Swordsmen and Shields gathered and began to march towards the mountains and forests. Behind these swords and shields, there were several infantry and bow battalions.
There are more than 30,000 troops, although there are still many county soldiers among them. But no matter how you look at it, it is completely enough to hit some muddy legs.
"Congratulations to General Cai. Once the good news of killing the enemy leader reaches the front line, my lord will definitely receive a reward. It is impossible to say that General Cai's general position will be promoted again." A small staff member who followed him said flatteringly. He spoke to Cai Meng.
"Haha, okay, okay!"
…
At this time, in the mountain forest surrounded by a large army. Lu Xiong, who was hiding in a forest, was frowning coldly.
According to the previous plan, this group of people wanted to avoid the counter-rebel forces, and they took action. It's a pity that because of the many people and mixed eyes, spies were mixed in. Cai Meng's counter-rebel army quickly found them.
"General Lu, we're here to kill you." Next to Lu Xiong, a tall and thick man raised his head and spoke coldly.
"Pan Ji, calm down." Lu Xiong comforted him. Under such circumstances, if the general becomes irritable, then the entire team is likely to fall into quagmire.
Of course, Panji cannot be blamed for this. Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other. Cai Meng, the chief general of the counter-rebellion army, not only imposed harsh taxes but also killed many sea people in Wuzhou in the past few years.
Raising his head, Lu Xiong turned around and looked deep into the forest to the east.
He knew very well that no matter what, with this temporary army of more than 10,000 people, they would definitely not be able to defeat the more than 30,000 counter-rebel troops head-on.
We are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and even more so in terms of quality.
"General Lu, what should we do?"
Lu Xiong thought for a while, "It's clear sky and daylight now. It's not good for us to fight. The best way is to wait until nightfall to exhaust the enemy's energy, and then use a sneak attack to break out of the encirclement."
The mountains and forests around here are densely packed, and Lu Xiong is very confident that as long as he avoids the counter-rebels and hides in the mountains and forests, there will be no problem in delaying until night.
Pan Ji was a rough man. Seeing what Lu Xiong said was clear and logical, he nodded immediately.
"Okay, then just listen to General Lu."
…
It was just dark, even though the order was given early. But what makes Lu Xiong helpless is that many people in the tens of thousands of troops are not regular troops, and they will inevitably disobey military orders.
In just three or four hours, two to three thousand people were killed without hesitation. The result was predictable. Almost all of them were killed by the counter-rebel troops and fled.
Lu Xiong sighed.
Pan Ji, who was beside him, was also extremely grieved. Most of the dead people were sea people. His hatred for Cai Meng was too deep, so he rushed out regardless of it.
"Panji, wait a moment."
Although it is night time, it is not the best time yet. Lu Xiong knew very well that if he couldn't break through tonight, he was afraid that things would be even more difficult when the rebels' encirclement was quelled after tomorrow.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain.
He thought he had accomplished another great feat. Under the light of the torch, Cai Meng's expression became even more excited. He even sent personal guards to pick out the heads of many sea people with square faces, tie their hair in buns, and use them as the heads of the Western Shu rebels.
He is very experienced in this matter.
"General Cai, it's going to be night, so you'd better be careful." Someone reminded him.
"I know." Cai Meng smiled lightly. Again, more than 30,000 counter-rebel troops are enough to kill these rebels.
"Don't worry, everyone. I, Cai Meng, am also a man who is familiar with the art of war. If I work harder tonight, once the encirclement is completed, these thieves will have no chance of escaping. You are so brave, daring to cause chaos in my Wuzhou, if you let me I have captured the leader of the rebels, and I will skin him alive!"
There was no intention of withdrawing the troops. In the rush for quick success, just as Lu Xiong expected, more than 30,000 counter-rebel troops took advantage of the darkness and began to set up a large encirclement and suppression formation.
But Cai Meng obviously ignored that night was the best cover. At this time, if there is a team of people who are familiar with the mountains and forests, it is very likely to change the situation.
…
To the east of the mountain forest, under the dark night, a long team of about a thousand people was carefully hiding deep in the forest.
Among the leaders, there were even a few wearing Dongling's battle armor. But these people are not counter-rebels. But the personal bodyguard, Fife's personal bodyguard.
"Old chief, it's night."
The man who was called the old leader was a Yue man with 66-year-old hair, wearing a cloak made of tiger skin and leaning on a hardwood crutch. In addition to sadness, there was also a deep hatred on his face. meaning.
His name is Fei Xiu, and he is Fei Fu's father. In order to befriend King Dongling, Feifu was allowed to marry a woman from the Zuo Shiren clan. I just thought that after getting married, we became a family. Unexpectedly, Feifu died tragically in the hands of Cai Meng, and he died unjustly.
"Old leader, General Lu from Western Shu, takes the name of raising fire."
Fei Xiu wrapped the tiger skin cloak around him without any hesitation, and for a moment his whole body was filled with murderous intent. As a father, if he cannot avenge his son, how can he have any face in the world?
He sent many people to call back all the warriors from the Mufeng tribe in Li Ducheng's mountain camp. Unfortunately, three or four days passed without any response.
Fei Xiu guessed that the news was probably blocked. But no matter what, even if there were only a thousand warriors, he would still find a way to avenge his son.
Staring ahead, about a stick of incense passed, and finally Feif saw the suddenly lit torch. He paused, gritted his teeth, and raised the hardwood stick in his hand high.
"Mufeng Tribe, charge and kill the Dongling Army!"
"Roar!"
In the mountains and forests, there were roars.
