In the red and green mountains at the same time.
There was a gloomy atmosphere.
Two consecutive defeats almost completely destroyed Hong Qingshan's morale.
Especially in this second defeat, more than 50,000 of them came out in full force. They originally planned to ambush Tiance's army and completely defeat the opponent.
As a result, I never expected that not only did the ambush of Tiance's army fail, but they were also caught off guard by the opponent's counterattack, which directly led to the collapse of the entire army.
How can we fight this?
Many people who came to vote after hearing that Hong Qingshan defeated Liu Funan's army suddenly became confused.
The main reason why they came to Hongqingshan to join Hongqingshan was because they saw Hongqingshan defeat the imperial army. They believed that after joining Hongqingshan, they would have Hongqingshan as a backer to fight against the imperial court together, and they would not have to be afraid of the imperial court hiding in the future.
As a result, the Tiance Army now lost nearly 30,000 people in just two battles.
Even in this second battle, the three core members of the military counselor Qin Yuniang and the Eighteen British Generals Li Sanlang and Sun Wuzhou were captured alive.
How could they fight? What hope did they have of winning?
For a while.
The entire Hongqing Mountain could not help but feel the popular feeling and the military morale becoming unstable.
Even the leader, Zhao Wenyuan, was a little depressed and confused at this moment, and at the same time there was a kind of fear.
His original idea was to gather forces and gather these people from all walks of life to occupy the red and green mountains to fight against the imperial court in the name of robbing the rich and helping the poor. He would defeat the army sent by the imperial court several times so that the imperial court would be unable to do anything to them, and then let the imperial court find a solution. Order him to be safe.
As long as the imperial court has no way to deal with them and does not want to mobilize too many troops, it will definitely choose Zhao'an later. This has also been the norm since ancient times.
As the saying goes, the golden belt of murder and arson is gathered together to revolt and receive the imperial edict.
And as the number of people who defeated Liu Funan Hongqingshan continued to increase to 70,000, Zhao Wenyuan was also happy and felt that his plan was definitely stable.
As a result, I never expected that Bai Yuxian and Tiancejun would be so ruthless. They gave themselves two blows in the first place. After these two battles, basically none of their plans succeeded.
The first time they wanted to set up an ambush in the Tiger Leaping Gorge, it turned out that the Tiance Army passed through the Tiger Leaping Gorge before them even though they were further away.
Now he tried to set up an ambush for the second time, but was directly discovered and faced a counter-siege.
Now after these two battles, the entire Hongqingshan Mountains have been directly beaten and their military morale has been weakened. If this continues, Bai Yuxian may not need to take action again, and the entire Hongqingshan Mountains will disperse on their own.
If Hongqingshan really falls apart, what should I do?
There is absolutely no life or death!
"No, Hongqingshan must not be dispersed, and this battle must not be lost."
Zhao Wenyuan shuddered. If Hong Qingshan was really broken up, then as the leader, he would definitely end up with his head chopped off, and there would be no chance of survival.
He, Zhao Wenyuan, didn’t want to die.
"It's his grandma's fault. This Bai Yuxian boy is so cunning. He actually surrounded us. If he has the ability to fight us head-on with real swords and guns, I'll see if Grandpa Hong doesn't cut off his head."
At this time, Hong Kui roared angrily, stood up and looked at Zhao Wenyuan.
"Brother, if you ask me, let's fight that White Jade Fairy boy with real swords and guns. I have so many brothers and masters in Hongqingshan, why can't I still deal with a mere yellow-mouthed boy?"
Originally, Zhao Wenyuan was also thinking about how to gather people's hearts and restore morale now.
Hearing Hong Kui's words, he immediately stood up and said.
"What my dear brother said is true, the White Jade Immortal is really cunning. These two battles were not due to the lack of strength of our brothers in Hongqing Mountain, but to the fact that the Bai Jade Immortal was too cunning and let us fall into his trap. Otherwise, we really have to fight head-on. I have so many brothers and masters in Hongqingshan, both in terms of number of troops and martial arts masters, they are all better than his Tiance Army, so I don’t care that I am not as good as his Tiance Army.”
"The failure in these two battles was not due to the lack of strength of the brothers. It was actually because Bai Yuxian was too cunning and because I was too much of a love rival."
Zhao Wenyuan stood up and walked onto the high platform and said loudly.
In a word, the failure of these two battles was not their fault, nor was it their lack of strength.
It's not a crime of war, it's just that Bai Yuxian is too cunning.
Hearing Zhao Wenyuan's words, the eyes of many people in Hongqingshan who were originally dejected suddenly couldn't help but shine again.
Dajue Zhao Wenyuan was right.
Yes, they have many people and experts in Hongqingshan. If they hadn't fallen into Bai Yuxian and Tiance Army's plan in both games and were caught off guard, how could they have failed to defeat Tiance Army if they really had to go head-to-head.
"The previous two battles were all my fault, Zhao Wenyuan's, for underestimating the enemy and falling into the Bai Yuxian's plan. But in the future, as long as we stick to the Hongqing Mountain and use the Hongqing Mountain as the foundation to fight against the Tiance Army, we will use the entire Hongqing Mountain to For defense, based on our familiarity with Hongqingshan, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and we will naturally be in an invincible position."
"And the Tiance Army is not familiar with the terrain and environment of our Red Green Mountains. If they dare to attack by force, the Tiance Army will never come back."
"Besides, our Hongqing Mountain now has enough food and grass. Even if we are stuck with Tiance Army for a year and a half without leaving the mountain, it will be enough for our daily life. On the other hand, if Tiance Army cannot attack our Hongqing Mountain for a long time, let's see who Tiance is. Ce Jun and Bai Yuxian are more worried, but I, Hong Qingshan, are more worried."
It has to be said that Zhao Wenyuan was able to become the leader of Hongqingshan by virtue of non-military skills, and he did have some ability in instigating and winning people's hearts.
After what Zhao Wenyuan said, the military morale that had been scattered up and down the Hongqing Mountain gradually gathered again.
Of course, another reason is that these people have been grasshoppers on a rope since they joined Hongqingshan. If Hongqingshan falls and they fail to escape, their fate will definitely not be good.
After all, it is not that easy to get off the pirate ship.
So at this time, even if they bite the bullet, most of them can only go all the way to darkness.
"Brother, give me another 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I will go and get the head of the White Jade Immortal."
At this time Hong Kui said again.
After these two battles, he felt extremely aggrieved. He still felt that he would never be weaker than Bai Yuxian in terms of strength. Even Bai Yuxian's cunningness caught them off guard twice. If they were to fight head-on, give him 20,000 troops. He is confident that he can definitely win Bai Yuxian.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenyuan patted Hong Kui on the shoulder with a smile on his face.
Zhao Wenyuan likes Hong Kui very much, because Hong Kui is not only powerful but also has no brains. He likes people who have strength but no brains the most.
"My dear brother, don't be impatient. You will be given the opportunity to lead the army next. However, the brothers are all tired from today's battle. The top priority is to let the brothers have a good night's rest."
"Tomorrow, we will have a good meeting with the White Jade Immortal."
——
The next day.
The sun is rising.
The head camp of Tiance Army.
Bai Yuxian once again recruited his subordinates Gao Shi, Li Siye, Feng Changqing and other generals into the camp.
At the same time, there were Qin Yuniang, Li Sanlang, and Sun Wuzhou who had just surrendered yesterday.
"Shuai Bai!"
The generals entered the camp and bowed to Bai Yuxian one after another.
"No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."
Bai Yuxian nodded slightly and said directly.
"Currently, the Hongqingshan rebel army is retreating to Hongqingshan. For the next battle, everyone should share your ideas and suggestions first. There is no need to worry. Just say what you think directly. You can brainstorm ideas after speaking freely."
"My subordinates believe that our army should not attack rashly at the moment." Feng Changqing immediately said: "The Red Green Mountains have tall trees and deep forests, stretching for hundreds of miles. Our army knows nothing about the terrain and environment in the Red Green Mountains. On the other hand, the Red Green Mountains have high trees and deep forests. The Qingshan thieves who have lived here for a long time must know the situation inside the mountain very well."
"Under such circumstances, if our army attacks rashly, it will easily be ambushed by thieves. Therefore, the top priority is that I believe that our army should understand the specific environment in Hongqing Mountain before making a decision."
At this point, Feng Changqing looked at Qin Yuniang, Li Sanlang, and Sun Wuzhou who were present.
Gao Shi, Li Siye and other generals also nodded in agreement with Feng Changqing's words and then looked at Qin Yuniang, Li Sanlang and Sun Wuzhou.
"What Chang Qing said is reasonable. I wonder if Military Advisor, Sanlang and Wuzhou are familiar with the environment and geography of Hongqing Mountain."
Bai Yuxian also nodded slightly and looked at the three of them.
In fact, if Bai Yuxian is willing to take action personally, with his current strength, especially with [Xiaoyaoyou], he can definitely enter the Hongqing Mountain directly and behead all the masters and main members of the Hongqing Mountain such as Zhao Wenyuan, thus directly deciding the outcome in a single battle.
But what he needs now is not just victory in this battle, but also wants to use this battle to train his army and increase the progress of [Broken Army].
So now he is in no rush to take action.
Qin Yuniang was obviously prepared. After hearing Bai Yuxian's words, she immediately stood up and took out a detailed map from her sleeves and handed it to Bai Yuxian.
"This is the topographic sketch of red and green mountains that Yu Niang drew from memory last night. Please take a look at it, Commander Bai and everyone."
However, after returning yesterday, Qin Yuniang guessed that the Tiance Army would definitely need a detailed topographic map of Hongqing Mountain, so she drew this one overnight.
Bai Yuxian reached out and took the map and read it. At the same time, her evaluation of Qin Yuniang couldn't help but be higher.
