Chapter 505: Robbery and Breaking the Law
Qiu Xuan saw that his troops had lost several battles in a row, and his morale was dampened. The soldiers had no intention of fighting. He had to restrain his troops and return to the camp. Zhao Zhen was also concerned about Qiu Xuan's magic, so he did not drive his troops to fight, and also rang the gong to withdraw his troops.
Let's talk about Kouzhou first. Su Liang settled the injured Su Yi and went straight to the central army tent to ask for an audience with Qiu Xuan.
After the greeting, Su Liang said: "Master Qiu, the soldiers of Liangshan are strong. We lost a battle today, and my sister was captured. Please give me some advice to save her."
Qiu Xuan said: "Don't worry, Su Tuanlian. This Zhao Zhen is used to the battlefield for a long time. Although he lost a battle today, his troops are not damaged. I watched from the battle today, and I didn't see Gongsun Sheng who knew the magic. Tomorrow I will use magic to drive the troops and break his camp, and your sister will naturally come back for rescue."
Su After hearing this, Liang couldn't help but said anxiously: "Master, the night is long and dreams are many. Why don't we go to rob the camp tonight? After today's great victory, he must be arrogant and unprepared. Why not rob his camp? He set up camp by the river bank. Once the victory is achieved, he will surely rush to cross the bridge. The people and horses will trample on him, and most of them will drown. We will definitely win."
Qiu Xuan heard it and said: "Su Tuanlian, today's fighting spirit is frustrated, it is not appropriate to fight again. Besides, this Liangshan army is not necessarily unprepared."
Su Liang saw that Qiu Xuan did not respond, so he had to leave.
Back to his own camp, Su Liang found another instructor, Sun Lin.
This man was the military commander under Gao Feng of Yizhou Prefecture. When Yizhou City was broken, he and Li Fengming fought out of the city, hid all the way, and joined Fengtian Township to become a military instructor.
Li Fengming was valued by Gao Rang and served in the army. It was with this relationship that Sun Lin persuaded Su Liang to seek a position in the militia.
At that moment, Su Liang said to Sun Lin: "Master Sun, I intend to raid the camp tonight. Do you dare to lead the troops?"
Sun Lin said: "I have received the kindness of the owner of the manor, and I have no way to repay it. Today is the time for me to contribute."
After that, Sun Lin asked: "How to act, please tell me, young master."
But Zhao Zhen returned to the camp and asked Liu Huiniang to write down the merits of the generals. The arrow that Luan Tingfang was hit by had been removed by the military doctor. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured because of his thick armor.
Zhao Zhen sent someone to send Luan Tingfang back to Liangshan, and asked An Daoquan to treat the arrow wound, which was a piece of cake.
Just when Su Jinniang was about to interrogate the captive, a strange wind suddenly blew up, flying dust from west to east, shaking the flags crookedly.
Wu Jiao saw it and said, "This gust of wind must mean that the bandits will raid the camp tonight. Sir, you should prepare quickly."
Zhao Zhen looked at it and said, "This gust of wind is very strange and unusual."
Immediately, Wei Yangyin and Zhen Dayi led the Wuxiang Camp to ambush on the left side of the camp, and Dong Ping, Ou Peng, and Ma Lin led the Left Cavalry Camp to ambush on the right side of the camp. Deng Fei and Fu Yu led 500 infantrymen to ambush in the camp. The sound of the cannon was the signal, and they all rushed out together. Qin Ming and Huang Xin led the vanguard camp to go out of the camp and detour ten miles, ambushing on the road. When they saw the Kouzhou soldiers raiding the camp, they quietly let them go and waited for them to return, intercepting and killing them.
After the division was completed, Zhao Zhen and Wu Jiao discussed by candlelight in the tent.
At the second watch, the gate of the Toyota Township camp was opened, and Sun Lin led a thousand people to patrol underground, and Su Liang also led a thousand soldiers to respond. The horses took off the phoenix bells, and the people were dressed in soft clothes. Sun Lin went straight to Zhao Zhen's central army camp.
Seeing that there was no one around and the camp was empty, Sun Lin hurriedly shouted that he had been tricked and turned to leave.
His left subordinates rushed out Wei Yangyin and Zhen Dayi, and his right subordinates rushed out Dong Ping, Ou Peng, and Ma Lin. In the main camp were Deng Fei and Fu Yu, and the seven big insects attacked at the same time.
Sun Lin was in the dark, running around and bumping into Fu Yu. Fu Yu secretly used a flying hammer to knock him off his horse. Deng Fei caught up and shot him dead.
Su Liang saw that he had been tricked and stepped forward to help. After a melee of one hour, he managed to escape. He ran all the way and met Qin Ming and Huang Xin, and killed them.
At dawn, he counted the troops and horses. More than ten tents were burned, and the soldiers were slightly injured. Fu Yu and Deng Fei presented Sun Lin's head, and the rest of the generals and officers presented their captives.
Zhao Zhen was in high spirits, but the camp in Toyota Township was gloomy. There were two thousand troops, but less than one thousand returned, and everyone had abandoned their armor. Sun Lin was also defeated in Liangshan Stronghold, and the soldiers in the stronghold had no morale at all.
Qiu Xuan watched the situation for half a night, and asked Li Fengming to visit Su Liang's camp at dawn.
When he met Li Fengming, Su Liang did not wait for Li Fengming to speak, and said first: "General Li, you have seen that we were defeated in the raid, and the casualties were not small. We have no strength to fight again. Please report to Taoist Qiu that we need to go back to the town to rest."
Li Fengming asked: "Where is Sun Lin?"
"He was trapped in Liangshan Stronghold, and his life or death is unknown." Su Liang replied with a grim face.
After sending Li Fengming away, Su Liang broke camp and left.
Qiu Xuan heard it and cursed: "Huh, you didn't listen to me, which led to this defeat."
After that, he ordered people to beat drums three times and blow horns twice, and all the soldiers shouted together and rushed out of the camp to form a battle line.
Qiu Xuan took off his crown, let his hair down, carried a gourd on his shoulder, rode a black horse, and came to the front of the battle array with a sword to challenge him.
Zhao Zhen saw this and also deployed his troops.
Qiu Xuan shouted: "Disrespectful man, violated my border. Please help me drive the enemy away."
No mistake!
After saying this, Qiu Xuan had already taken off the lid of the gourd and shouted: "Quick".
A black gas rushed out of the gourd, dissipated for a long time in an instant, and it was dark and miserable. Many things like fine sand and iron filings hit Zhao Zhen.
The skin and flesh were burned and painful, which was unbearable. The Liangshan troops immediately became chaotic. Qiu Xuan led 360 Black Tiger soldiers, followed by the government troops behind them, and attacked together.
Wu Jiao saw this and also performed the Five Thunders Righteousness Method behind the formation. Suddenly, there was a crackling sound of thunder in the air. In an instant, the sky was bright, the black air disappeared, and the black sand fell all over the ground. Looking closely, there was no black sand at all, but black bees as big as fingers.
Qiu Xuan, who had rushed halfway, saw this and shouted to the 360 Black Tigers to open the iron gourds behind them and release the black gas together. There were countless Yaksha ghosts, demons, and fierce beasts in the middle, and they rushed in with the wind and fog.
At Zhao Zhen's place, the formation was separated, and 300 tall and strong soldiers rushed out. Each of them took a long bamboo pump, which contained pig and sheep blood. They sprayed it at the Black Tigers, and paper people and paper beasts fell down in midair. In an instant, the black gas was swept away, and the sky was clear again.
Even Qiu Xuan, who was mixed in, was contaminated with filth.
After breaking two spells in a row, Qiu Xuan was already anxious. Now he was contaminated with filth and couldn't do anything. Qiu Xuan immediately lost his courage.
While he was stunned, he saw that the Liangshan formation changed again. The 300 pump-powered warriors retreated, the cavalry flashed out of the formation, and the five battalions of cavalry rushed into the Kouzhou army in three directions.
Without the blessing of the Taoist magic, the 360 Black Tigers, though brave, could not withstand the charge of the cavalry. Seeing that the situation was not good, they surrounded Qiu Xuan and turned around and ran away.
The hero who led the troops was like a wolf and a tiger. When the steel knife was shining, it was like cutting melons and vegetables. He rushed forward in front of the platoon. In just a few moments, the Kouzhou government troops were frightened and ran around.
Taking advantage of the situation, they seized the camp of the Kouzhou government troops, counted the harvest, captured countless cattle, horses, and food, and the Kouzhou soldiers captured more than 2,000 people and killed nearly 1,000. Only less than 2,000 people fled back to Kouzhou City with Qiu Xuan.
