Seeing this situation, other people immediately hurriedly looked for their weapons, but in this short period of time, many people fell into a pool of blood. In the end, one or two people in this tent were lucky enough to escape, but the others were killed by the swords and guns of the officers and soldiers.
This situation happened in several camps. The sounds of fighting and screams completely broke the tranquility of the bandits' campsite. Only then did many bandits who were still sleeping react and rush out of the camps in a hurry. Seeing that the situation was very serious, Unfortunately, I had no choice but to flee.
This battle, oh, it shouldn't be called a battle, it should be called a one-sided massacre. Fully 30% of the bandits brought by Du Kuan were killed on the spot. If the bandits weren't very familiar with this terrain and were good at escaping, most people would have told them here.
The bandits who successfully escaped quickly disappeared into the night, while those who were killed did not even think about how these officers and soldiers got out from behind before they died.
Under the desperate protection of a group of henchmen, Du Kui'an finally managed to escape and save his life. Looking at the injured men following him, almost all of them, and thinking about the bandits who lost their lives in a daze, Du Kui'an felt very uncomfortable. .
Du Kui'an felt very regretful now, regretting that he did not listen to military advisor Zhuge Ying's words and give up after winning the battle once.
Now that he calmed down, Du Kuian thought clearly about everything that happened last night. It turned out that the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river had no intention of forcibly crossing the river. Instead, they deliberately sent people to light torches and walk back and forth along the river to attract the attention of themselves and others.
The main force of officers and soldiers had already quietly moved their positions under the cover of night and crossed the Wutuo River from other places. Then he went around behind himself and others, and launched a surprise attack on the brothers he had brought with him.
What Du Kui'an didn't know was that Sima Chi found many experienced old fishermen and finally found a waterway through which they could cross the Wutuo River at night. Then he paid a lot of money to hire these experienced old fishermen as guides to complete the night crossing. The feat of crossing the Wutuo River.
"What, the Suzaku Army was defeated!" In the Flying Eagle Gathering Hall, a group of people were sitting there waiting for news. After hearing the report of the soldiers who hurried back, Fan Lingyan jumped up.
Fan Lingyan worked hard to let Du Kui'an lead the bandits of the Suzaku Army to attack the officers and soldiers crossing the river. In the last battle to defeat the Songzhou soldiers, the three armies of Qinglong, White Tiger and Xuanwu all made great contributions, although the Suzaku Army also participated in the battle. , but it pales in comparison to the other three armies.
When she heard that the officers and soldiers were once again sending troops to attack the Flying Eagle Society, Fan Lingyan was not only not worried, but also faintly excited. She secretly decided in her heart that the Suzaku Army must come out on top in this battle.
Therefore, when the Shanzhai decided to snipe the officers and soldiers on the Wutuo River, Fan Lingyan was the first to stand up and win the mission for the Suzaku Army. He also specially sent Du Kui'an, who he thought was the most mature and prudent man, to lead the team. He did not expect such a result.
"Master Du is so disappointing. I told him before we set off that the Mad Lion Army was very strong and we must be careful, but he fought like this. I suggest that this copycat must be severely punished. For those responsible I will never tolerate it and let them pay the price for their dereliction of duty. Of course, as the commander of the Suzaku Army, I should bear the main responsibility for improper selection of people." Fan Lingyan said again after seeing that everyone present was silent.
In fact, everyone present knew that although Fan Lingyan gritted his teeth, he still wanted to exonerate Du Kui'an. But this is normal. Du Kuan is her confidant and the elder who has watched him grow up since childhood.
But at this time, no one had time to care about these things, because the defeat of the Suzaku Army had a huge impact on the village. The plan against the enemy that was made before can no longer be continued, and everything has to be scrapped and started all over again.
"Now is not the time to hold people accountable. The top priority is how to deal with the current situation." After a while, Chen Gang, the leader of the White Tiger Army, said in a low voice.
"Commander Chen is right. Now we have two things that need to be done urgently. One is to send people to meet Du Junshi and try to minimize the losses. The other is to readjust the defense line and not let the enemy take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results." At this time, Zhuge Ying also stood up and looked at everyone and said.
The fighting power of the Mad Lion Army is well-known in Daning. The bandits originally lacked confidence when facing them. This defeat made everyone feel even more stressed. Therefore, everyone discussed for a long time and could only make two negative comments. The plan was to stick to Fuhu Mountain or simply abandon the stronghold and wait for the officers and soldiers to leave before returning to the stronghold.
"There must be a clever plan to survive this crisis."
Everyone left one after another, leaving only Ye Ying and military advisor Zhuge Ying in the Juyi Hall. This time it was Ye Ying who spoke. As the leader of the village, he felt tremendous pressure, but he behaved very calmly in front of everyone. Now he only As long as he and Zhuge Ying were left, there was no need to hide his worries.
"Yes, the disparity in strength is too great. These days, I have read through many previous battles in which fewer people defeated more, but there is no way to solve the problem we are currently facing." Zhuge Ying whispered, his tone full of helplessness.
"Methods are thought up by people. Let's think about it again. I don't believe we can't find a way to defeat them." Ye Ying's tone was full of determination.
The officers and soldiers were chasing after him, and Du Kui'an had no choice but to run all the way with his brothers. Now he only had one thought in his mind, even if he died, he would bring as many brothers back to the village as possible.
However, as time went by, Du Kui'an felt more and more desperate. Everyone couldn't even take a rest, but the ghosts of these officers and soldiers were always lingering, and they couldn't get rid of them?
"Brother Zhang, you take the brothers to evacuate the mountain stronghold, and I will bring some men to stop the enemy." Seeing that there were fewer and fewer brothers following him, Du Kui'an could no longer bear it. He decided to use the spirit of a strong man to cut off his wrist and sacrifice himself. and a group of bandits, giving most brothers a chance to escape.
"Master Du, you are the leader of our group, how could you personally be involved in danger? You lead your brothers to retreat, and I will stay behind. My wife, children, and mother in the village will be taken care of by Master Du and my brothers from now on. "Knowing that if you stay, there will be no chance of survival, but Zhang Gui still said firmly.
"Since you know that this team is under my command, then quickly obey the command and brothers, evacuate quickly." After hearing Zhang Gui's words, Du Kui'an immediately said in a firm tone.
"Brother, you have an old mother and a wife and children. I, Old Du, am alone and have nothing to worry about when I die." Seeing that Zhang Gui was still hesitant, Du Kui'an softened his tone and said to him.
"The eldest lady told me before leaving that I should take good care of you. If I, Zhang Gui, escape back to the village alone, how will I face the eldest lady? Du Junshang, please don't hesitate and take the brothers away quickly." Du Kui'an's attitude Zhang Gui was very moved, but he became even more determined to stay and stop the enemy.
Just as the two men were pushing each other, a sound of shouting and neighing came from behind. Before anyone could react, a large group of energetic officers and soldiers appeared in everyone's sight.
"You have no chance to escape. Hurry up and throw away the weapons in your hands and surrender. I, Zheng Hao, am not a murderous person. Anyone who surrenders can save his life." At this time, a young general walked out from among the officers and soldiers and shouted to everyone. said.
Seeing this young general, Du Zai'an and Zhang Gui were filled with despair. They did not expect that the officers and soldiers would catch up so quickly. As for the surrender mentioned by Zheng Hao, no one thought about it, because almost all the bandits captured by Daning officers and soldiers over the years were killed.
"Brothers, if we fight with them, even if we die, we will give him a backstop." Seeing that there was no chance of escape, Du Kui'an simply raised his heart and drew out a ghost-headed sword from behind his back. Waiting quietly for the officers and soldiers to attack them.
Seeing Du Kuian's actions and then looking at the enemy in the distance, all the Flying Eagle Bandits took out their weapons and quietly looked at the enemy who was getting closer and closer.
"Ye Ying, this kid is really quite capable. He actually trained the bandits like this." Looking at the determined bandits, a strange look flashed in the young general's eyes.
This young general was Zheng Hao, who was in the new barracks with Ye Ying. In the days after Ye Ying left the Mad Lion Army, Zheng Hao relied on his own ability and the help of his family to be promoted step by step, and now he has become a member of the army. The battalion commander of Baisheng Camp is also a third-level middle-level warrior.
Over the years, Zheng Hao has also participated in the suppression of bandits many times. All the bandits he saw before either dispersed or surrendered after being defeated. He had never seen such a situation today, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for their leader Ye. The eagle looked at him differently.
"Although you are Brother Ye's subordinates, now that you are bandits and I, Zheng Hao, am a soldier, I cannot show mercy. However, I can promise that after I kill you, I will help you bury them and I will never let you become a tiger or wolf in the mountains." Food." After Zheng Hao said this, he waved his hand fiercely, signaling for his soldiers to attack.
Seeing this scene, Du Kui'an and Zhang Gui looked at each other, organized their bandits to form a defensive formation, and prepared to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.
"Brother Zheng Hao, I'm sorry. I'm going to take these brothers away today." Just as the war between the two sides was about to break out, another group of people suddenly appeared behind the bandits, and the two leading knights rushed over quickly. One of them said loudly to Zheng Hao in the distance.
"Girl, it's you and Brother Menzhuan. We haven't seen you for a long time. It turns out that you also followed Brother Ye up the mountain and became bandits." The two leaders were Qi Jiao and Shan Fu. When they were in the new barracks, due to Ye Ying's Because of this, Zheng Hao walked relatively close to Qi Jiao and Shan Fu. When he saw the two of them appearing, Zheng Hao immediately said with a smile.
"Brother Zheng Hao, you have come all the way. Originally, my brother should fulfill his duty as a landlord and treat Brother Zheng to a glass of wine. But looking at the current situation, the wine is not available. For the sake of past friendship, please let Brother Zheng go. Let our brothers go." Shan Fu said, cupping his hands towards Zheng Hao.
"If it's anything else, based on our friendship in the past, we will definitely help the two brothers. But today our positions are different, why can't we agree to the two brothers!" Zheng Hao also bowed his hands to the two from a distance, although his tone was more polite, But the attitude is very firm.
"Brother Zheng's attitude was expected by us brothers, but we have to take away these brothers today. We hope that Brother Zheng will show some respect." Qi Jiao's voice was so loud that many people present could hear it.
Zheng Hao was about to say something more when he suddenly saw many long arrows shot from the jungle behind Qi Jiao and Shan Fu. Fortunately, these arrows were shot into the sky. The arrow branches in the sky were still some distance away from the officers and soldiers, and then they fell weakly on the ground. on the ground.
