Hushan Ridge is only five miles away from Yongping Village, but the winding mountain road drags it into nine miles.
When the fire in Yongpingzhai burned red, General Ruan Wenxiu of Hushanling quickly summoned his generals to discuss countermeasures.
"Sir, we can't go and save them. Looking at the fire in Yongping Village, the Ming army has most likely attacked the mountain. I'm afraid it won't help if we send troops at this time."
Hu Shou quickly dissuaded him.
After Lu Yuanqiu heard about it, he roared and reprimanded Hu Shou: "If we don't send troops, Peng Shi and the 1,500 sergeants of Yongping Village will die! General Ruan, this is a good time for us to attack. Yongping Village is Yi It is difficult to defend and attack, and it must still be in Peng Shi's hands. As long as we send troops and cooperate with Peng Shi internally and externally, we will be able to defeat the Ming army!"
"What if the Ming army becomes stronger?"
Hu Shou frowned and asked Lu Yuanqiu.
Lu Yuanqiu snorted coldly: "You and I both know the strength of the Ming army. How can we care about a bunch of wine and rice bags? General Ruan, as long as you give me a thousand soldiers, the danger of Yongping Village will be solved!"
Looking at the confident Lu Yuanqiu, Ruan Wenxiu stopped Hu Shou and said solemnly: "Yongping Village echoes Hushan Ridge. If Yongping Village is lost, Hushan Ridge will become an isolated ridge. In order to capture Yongping Village, we suffered a lot of losses. It’s not small, don’t throw it away no matter what! Lu Yuanqiu, I’ll give you a thousand men to take Yongping Village back!”
"The last general will live up to his command!"
Lu Yuanqiu glanced at Hu Shou with disdain and went out to order troops.
Hu Shou looked at Ruan Wenxiu anxiously and said: "There are only three thousand people in Hushanling. If he takes away a thousand people, wouldn't Hushanling be dangerous? Besides, there has been no movement from the Ming army in the past. Why did they suddenly launch an attack? It's obvious that there was no movement from the Ming army in the past." The Ming army has been preparing for a long time, and it may not be a small number of Ming troops attacking Yongping Village."
Ruan Wenxiu chuckled and said nonchalantly: "What if the Ming army is large in number? Our Annan army has not wiped out three counties in one day, and now it controls most of the Siming Mansion. The Ming army is just a ragtag group. Those who run away are nothing to worry about.”
Hu Shou stamped his feet and shouted: "This time, that time!"
That's right, Annan's army entered Siming Mansion with great momentum. They defeated three counties in one fell swoop and captured important places such as Luzhou, Xipingzhou and Yongpingzhai in a short period of time.

It was precisely because it went so smoothly that the problem of collective arrogance arose.
Hu Shou had a headache.
Standing on a high place, Ruan Wenxiu looked towards the direction of Yongping Village. The fire in the distance looked so bright in the night sky. Under the Hushan Ridge, a group of people and horses hurriedly walked, holding torches on the winding mountain road, like a fire dragon.
"no need to worry……"
As soon as Ruan Wenxiu finished speaking, he heard bursts of dull sounds coming from a distance. When he looked at the fire dragon, his shape suddenly changed.
"No, there's an ambush!"
Ruan Wenxiu's face turned pale, his body seemed to have lost all strength, and he staggered back.
Hu Shou hurriedly protected Ruan Wenxiu and said with red eyes: "General, order all sergeants to guard Hushan Ridge."
Ruan Wenxiu shouted in panic: "Yes, hurry up, send the order quickly!"
Hu Shou sighed secretly, and quickly led his people to the mountainside, where he arranged for people to close the gate of the village, strengthen defense, and prepare for battle.
At this time, there were more than a hundred people running down the mountain, all in a state of panic. There were even a few people carrying a few sergeants. A few lonely torches were swinging wildly, and the screams were also transmitted to the mountain.
"Open the door quickly, Mr. Lu is injured."
Sergeant Yamashita shouted.
Hu Shou looked into the distance and saw that the fighting was going on in the distance, and there was no Ming army chasing him. He stood on a high place and looked at the man being carried by the sergeant. The man's face was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell who he was. Not Lu Yuan
Autumn.
"Open the door!"
When Hu Shou saw that everyone was wearing Annan clothes, he gave the order.
The gate of the village was slowly opened again. Seeing this, more than a hundred sergeants hurried up the mountain.
Hu Shou quickly responded and walked closer to look at Lu Yuanqiu who was being carried up. He finally saw clearly under the bright torch and said in confusion: "This is not Lu Yuanqiu!"
"That's right, he's not!"
Zhang Fu raised his head and showed his white teeth towards Hu Shou.
The moonlight came out, and Hu Shou saw Zhang Fu's face clearly, strange and cold...
puff!
Zhang Fu stabbed Hu Shou's heart with a knife, pulled it out suddenly, and shouted sternly: "Kill me!"
"kill!"
More than a hundred soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were like fierce tigers chasing prey, unstoppable, and shouts of killing were also heard from the bottom of the mountain, and the reserve army quickly went up the mountain to support Zhang Fu.
Sergeant Annan in Hushanling was stunned. Looking at the ghost-like Ming army, they began to flee for their lives.
But this is a mountain, and there is only one way to escape. Unfortunately, that road is a dead end.
Zhang Fu took the lead and fought bravely, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. The people around him worked hard to kill the enemy. Although there were only more than 600 people, he killed 2,000 people on the mountain until they were retreating, and more than half of them surrendered!
Ruan Wenxiu hid in a cave in Hushan Ridge and wanted to take off his general uniform and escape, but before he could finish taking off his clothes, Zhang Fu was already standing outside the cave.
"Are you Ruan Wenxiu?"
Zhang Fu asked coldly.
"No, I am not……"
Ruan Wenxiu quickly denied it.
Zhang Fu looked at Ruan Wenxiu, was silent for a moment, and said to the sergeant on the side: "He is not Ruan Wenxiu, so he has no value, so kill him."
"As commanded."
The sergeant stepped forward and ignored Ruan Wenxiu no matter how much he admitted. He cut off Ruan Wenxiu's neck with one knife and chopped it several times with gritted teeth before cutting off the head and handing it to Zhang Fu.
Zhang Fu said coldly: "Pick it with lime and hand it over to Handusi at dawn."
Walking to a cave, Zhang Fu looked at the shivering women and children inside and shouted: "The Ming army has recaptured Hushan Ridge, you are safe!"
No one responded.
It seemed like a soulless puppet, looking at Zhang Fu blankly.
"Sir, this way..."
One led Zhang Fu not far away, and there were more than two hundred naked corpses left in the depths of a cave. Without exception, they were all women, and there were even some little girls!
Zhang Fu held the waist knife tightly, turned around and walked out of the cave, shouting sternly: "Bring all the prisoners over here!"
Nearly 1,200 prisoners looked at Zhang Fu uneasily.
Zhang Fu raised his hand and ordered: "Leave no one alive, kill them all!"
"kill!"
The Ming sergeant raised his sword and attacked these unarmed prisoners. No matter how hard they struggled or how much they begged for mercy, they could not stop the mountain of military orders!
After finishing the ambush mission, Pan Cheng, who had captured Lu Yuanqiu alive, rushed to Hushan Ridge and encountered Zhang Fu massacring prisoners. He hurriedly ran to Zhang Fu and said, "Sir, it is ominous to kill and surrender. The imperial court has a clear order not to massacre prisoners." …”
Zhang Fu glanced at Pan Cheng coldly and said, "I'm not trying to kill him."
"this……"
Pan Cheng looked back and saw that he had already surrendered and his hands were tied. How could you open your eyes and tell lies?
"I'm preparing a sacrifice!"
Zhang Fu drew out his knife, took a step forward, and chopped off violently. A human head rolled down. The sharpness of the blade and the cruelty of the method were shocking!
Pan Cheng swallowed, feeling helpless.
In less than half an hour, more than a thousand prisoners were all killed.
Zhang Fu wiped his knife and shouted to the silent Ming army: "Cut off their heads and throw them into the innermost cave! I hope not one of them will be missing! By the way, Pan Cheng, is Lu Yuanqiu still alive?" "
"Now, sir, Lu Yuanqiu is still alive. It's just that after daybreak, Lord Han Guan of the capital department and Lord Huang Guangcheng of the prefect will arrive at Hushan Ridge..."
Pan Cheng reminded.
But we can't kill them all without leaving any one alive. If these two thousand people die, they will die. We can report to the court that they were killed in battle. If we continue to kill, everyone will lose their heads. We can't hide this even if we want to. ah.
Pan Cheng didn't mind the life and death of the Annan people, but he did mind whether Zhang Fu would stay or go.
Nanning Guard finally found a commander who was considerate of his subordinates, took the lead, and was extremely resourceful. If he made a mistake and was transferred away, Nanning Guard's new army strategy and his own promotion path would be ruined.
Zhang Fu said without mercy: "Kill them, leave no one behind."
Pan Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to persuade, but was pulled into the innermost cave by the sergeant on the side. When he saw the women and girls who died naked, Pan Cheng finally understood where Zhang Fu's murderous intention came from.
Not a single Annan person in Hushanling can survive!
Because they are not humans, they are beasts!
Yes, their heads are the sacrifices of the dead. Only in this way can we comfort these dead people!
Pan Cheng took matters into his own hands, chopped off Lu Yuanqiu's head, and said solemnly to Zhang Fu: "Your Majesty, if Han Dusi asks, just say that I killed him. If I die, the Nanning Guard will still be there. If something happens to you, the Nanning Guard will still be there." It’s no longer here!”
Zhang Fu didn't speak, he just stood quietly on the top of the mountain, watching the Lantern Festival, the moon setting, and the dawn.
On Hushan Ridge, the rich blood energy cannot be blown away.
When Huang Gui and Wang Yuanxing came to deliver their business, their expressions became solemn as they looked at the wet rocks and the black blood stains in the rocks.
"Lord Commander, Han Dusi and Magistrate Huang are only three miles away from here."
Huang Gui reported.
Zhang Fu turned around, arranged for the sergeants to rectify, and then went down the mountain to greet Han Guan and Huang Guangcheng.
Han Guan led his army to arrive. He felt comfortable sitting on the horse and looked at Zhang Fu and nodded slightly.
After the war ended, military reports were sent back.
Zhang Fu captured Yongping Village in the first battle, ambushed the reinforcements, and deceived Hushan Ridge. It can be said that Zhou Xiang arranged Zhou Xiang and used his troops like a god.
"Commander Zhang, you are the vanguard, leading the army to capture Yongping and Hushan. The capital will never treat you and the other soldiers badly. Have you prepared a merit book? Please submit it."
Han Guan said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Zhang Fu took the merit book handed over by Pan Cheng, handed it to Han Guan, and said: "Back to Dusi, in the battle of Yongping Village and Hushan Ridge, one hundred and twenty-seven soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were killed and two hundred and nineteen were injured. Five people, beheaded 3,720.”
"How much, how much?"
Han Guan was shocked.
More than 3,700?
According to the intelligence, there are a total of 4,500 people in Yongping Village and Hushanling. You beheaded more than 3,700 people? Only less than 800 people were captured alive?
Zhang Fu repeated it, looked at Han Guan fearlessly, and said: "Behead 3,720 people, behead 720 people in Yongping Village, and behead 3,000 people in Hushan Ridge!"
Han Guan took a deep breath. There were only three thousand people in Hushanling!
Huang Guangcheng, the prefect of Siming Prefecture, also heard the problem, and a strange look appeared on his face. Needless to say, the commander Zhang Fu in front of him must have been killed...
