How? Don't you believe me? Do you dare to question the divine might of the Holy Father? Meng Xiang shouted angrily.

"Who are you fooling? Are you still trying to deceive us? What Prophet? It's just the former pirate Hai Dongqing. You Meng Shouza is not a Tianlong person, but also a pirate. It's all this time, and you still want to lie to us. ”

"That is, since there is a body to avoid the fire, Meng Shouzuo will make a show for everyone, and everyone will make a way for Meng Shouzuo to rush over first. Let's also take a look at how Meng Shouzuo is unscathed. ”

The congregations were babbling, full of sarcasm and resentment.

"Bastard, what a big dog, do you dare to speak like this, do you want to betray the Holy Religion and the Holy Father? The apostate should light the lantern with a thousand knives. Meng Xiang shouted angrily, pointing at the group of people who were just speaking.

No one in the sect dared to speak out, they were afraid that Meng Xiang would kill someone, so they chose to shut up. Suddenly, the mount under Meng Xiang's crotch let out a sneer, and then began to jump. Meng Xiang almost fell off the horse, and hurriedly tightened the reins of the horse and scolded: "Beast, what are you doing? Brutes, come against me at this time. ”

The horse jumped endlessly, and someone shouted in horror: "Meng Shouza, there is a knife on the horse's buttocks, on the horse's buttocks." ”

Meng Xiang looked back in amazement, only to see a machete embedded in the bone above the horse's tail, gushing blood. Someone just slashed the horse's buttocks.

"Whoever did it, whoever did it, Lao Tzu slaughtered you." Meng Xiang roared angrily and glared at the sect members beside him, raising his big ring knife and slashing at one of the sect members. The cultist was unable to dodge, half of his head was cut off, and his body fell to the ground. Meng Xiangwu roared to himself and slashed at others.

A member of the sect shouted loudly: "Everyone has been so badly harmed by this, and the family that has been deceived by some bullshit Holy Father has been ruined, and the reputation of rebellion has been saddled. At this moment, there is no way to live anyway, let's slaughter this dog's breath. ”

"Yes, kill him, and kill people indiscriminately at this time. It's just that we don't like people. Slaughter him, slaughter him. The silent congregation erupted in rage, and a crowd of people rushed forward with fists waving.

Meng Xiang shouted in horror: "Who dares, who dares to commit it?" Father...... Lao Tzu hacked him alive. ”

"Left and right is a death, we are not afraid of you. Dog thief, slaughter you. A member of the sect picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at Meng Xiang, this action reminded everyone, and all the sect members picked up stones and mud and threw them at Meng Xiang. Meng Xiang scolded while protecting his head and face to dodge, and two stones smashed heavily on his head, making him dizzy. Suddenly, the horse jumped, and he was thrown into the air and fell hard.

Meng Xiang fell to the ground, habitually rolling on the spot, trying to get up. Suddenly, he found that the bottom of his body was empty, and the whole person rolled down the slope below the gallop. Thorns and thorny vines pierced his whole body, but soon he had no need to worry about the pain, for his whole body fell into the mire beside the gallop with a thud. The moment it fell, half of his body was already stuck in the stinky mud.

Meng Xiang instinctively twisted his body and twisted his body right, avoiding the doom on his head and feet. However, even so, at this moment, he was already half his head buried in the mire, and half of his body was lying in the mire, unable to move. A foul and unpleasant smell came to my nose, and the sound of buzzing mosquitoes fluttering around my ears lingered.

The congregants on the gallop watched as Meng Xiang was thrown to the side of the road by the horses, and then he himself rolled down the gallop and fell into the mire. They all looked at it.

"Save me, save me!" Meng Xiang shouted loudly.

"Meng Shouzao, aren't you from Tianlong? Didn't the Father bless you? At this time, the Holy Father should come to save you, and we can't save you. Come down to the Holy Father. Someone sneered and teased.

"Anglican ...... Not available. Whoever comes to save me, I will promote him to be a Dharma protector and give him gold and silver treasures, as much as I want. Meng Xiang shouted.

"Bah, if we don't kill you, we'll already give you face, Qingjiao is a liar, the Holy Father is a liar, you are all a group of liars. There are also a bunch of liars in the court, and you are all liars. The most bitter thing is that we, the common people, have been deceived by you. If you want to live in peace, you can't do it. Who have we offended and who have we provoked? Why did you come to deceive us poor people? Did we provoke you? We have toiled so hard for you to eat, drink, and drive you, that we will not even be allowed to live in peace? ”

One of the congregationists spoke loudly, and when he said that he was excited, he raised his hand to the sky and pounded the ground violently, and he was in great pain. The surrounding congregations were in tears and crying out. The cry shook the sky.

Meng Xiang heard half of his ears clearly, and he wanted to argue, but as soon as his mouth opened, a stream of stinky water poured into his mouth, and he almost suffocated. He could only shut up, and he didn't dare to struggle, he just watched the sect members on the galloping road jumping and shouting at him, pointing fingers at him, but no one came to the rescue.

……

A few miles away, officers and men were preparing to rest in place. At this time, Guo Kun received a message from the soldiers guarding the sand dunes, saying that he had seen a sky-high fire at the end of the eastern gallop, and it seemed that something major had happened.

Guo Kun was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly climbed to the top of the sand dune near the left with Wei Dakui, Zhao Youji and others to look east. Sure enough, I saw the sight of red light lighting up the sky and flames rising into the sky. Everyone was a little puzzled.

"Looking at the direction of the fire, it looks like it is at the east exit of Chi Road, could it be that someone set fire to the entrance of Chi Road, blocking the way for the bandits to escape?" Zhao Youji expressed his guess.

"yes, that's exactly the way it is. Who would do it? Could it be that the bandits themselves set the fire to prevent us from chasing them? Wei Dakui looked at the firelight in the distance and groaned.

"It's impossible, it's too late for them to flee for their lives, besides, it's only been half an hour, and I'm afraid that the fleeing enemy hasn't reached the east exit yet, isn't it blocking their way by setting a fire?" Zhao Youji shook his head and said.

"Who could it be? What is the intent? Wei Dakui smacked his lips and thought.

Guo Kun, who was frowning and thinking on the side, suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, who else could it be? It must have been Lin Jue's doing. I know him, he acts unexpectedly and boldly. His purpose in setting this fire was to trap all the bandits in Bolangsha and not be able to escape. He wants us to eat them all in one bite and never let them go. Hey, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, your appetite is too big. I didn't even dare to think so. ”

Zhao Youji and Wei Dakui were stunned when they heard this. Wei Dakui nodded and shouted, "Yes, it must have been Lord Lin's doing." Only Lord Lin dared to do this. He dared to take three hundred horsemen to attack the camp and attack the formation, and what else did he dare not do. ”

Zhao Youji said: "Du Yuhou, then what should we do now?" Are we going to do what we do or are we going to do according to the signals sent by Lord Lin? ”

Guo Kun frowned and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Originally, for the sake of safety, I refused to chase and kill at night. However, I had already made a mistake in judging whether Bingfa Fengqiu or Yangwu was in the matter, and this time I chose to believe Lin Jue. He must have made such a move because he thought that we could annihilate the remnants of the bandits. Besides, we are here to save them. If we ignore them, and when the fire is extinguished, will they be besieged by bandits? Pass my order, and immediately organize the whole army to hunt down and kill. ”

Thousands of horse infantry cavalry immediately formed a formation, but for the sake of safety, a formation was adopted in which the infantry of the forbidden army raised their shields to search and advance in front, and the horse army dragged behind. This is a formation to prevent the opponent from being ambushed, and in the dark of night, the infantry can respond more quickly than the cavalry. However, all this was obviously superfluous, and when the army advanced beyond Lixu, they saw the congested black bandits in front of them. These bandits had completely lost their fighting spirit, and when they saw the officers and men chasing after them, they had no intention of resisting at all, and one by one they knelt on the ground and surrendered with their heads hugged.

Guo Kun even suspected that this was the other party's trick, how could there be such an easy thing. Before, this group of people was still fighting with themselves at the west entrance, but now they have no fighting spirit, which is really incredible. But the truth was right in front of them, and the bandits were holding their heads one by one, and the officers and soldiers tied their hands one by one with ropes and pressed them to the rear, and found an open space next to the gallop road to gather them there. The bandits were as docile as lambs, and nothing unforeseen happened.

It wasn't until the officers and soldiers advanced forward again that the die-hard elements of the Qingjiao Apologetics began to resist. Of course, this kind of rebellion can no longer change the situation at all. Under the joint strangulation of the Ma Bu army, in the intensive firing of crossbow arrows, the cathars suffered heavy casualties, and some refused to be captured by the officers and soldiers, and chose to flee under the thorn bushes on both sides of the gallop road at great risk. Naturally, the officers and soldiers would not chase after them, and everyone knew how dangerous the Bolang Sand, the mud and thorny land at night was. Since these people would rather go into it, they don't have to follow them to such a risk. Even if it's a search, you can't do it until dawn.

In any case, the entire process of encircling and suppressing the remnants of the bandits went smoothly, and the price paid was only dozens of casualties. The vast majority of the cultists did not resist at all, and they had even thrown away all their weapons. Wherever the officers and men went, they knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands, accepted the binding of the officers and soldiers, and were escorted one by one to the open space in the rear to guard them.

Except for a few diehards who refused to surrender and were slaughtered by officers and soldiers or risked fleeing into the depths of Bolangsha, the rest of the bandits were all captured. A makeshift cleared patch of thorny sand in the rear was overcrowded. Nearly 7,000 members of the sect sat here holding their heads in piles, panicking like lost dogs. So far, almost all of the more than 20,000 cultists in the five counties of northern Beijing led by Meng Xiang have been annihilated. Tens of thousands of dead and wounded, seven or eight thousand prisoners. Neither side could have imagined that this war would end in such a one-sided way. This battle has also been praised by later historians, and has been recorded in history as a classic example of winning more with less.
