Chapter 427: Night Attack on the Enemy Camp

Song Jiang was carried out of the fire by Li Kui, and Wu Yong also followed behind them, perhaps it was the other party's fire attack that left a deep impression on Song Jiang, and when he left the battlefield, he couldn't help but turn around and order Dong Ping: "Use the fireball to fight back against the other party!" ”

In the firelight, the Liangshan army no longer used thunderbolts, but switched to a huge fireball, a large ball wrapped in oil-soaked fire cloth, the soldiers of the Liangshan army lit the fireball, more than 20 large fireballs were launched at the same time, only to see more than 20 huge fireballs rise into the air and smash in the direction of the enemy.

The fireball shot only two hundred paces away, when one huge fireball landed, it bounced high, continued to fly forward more than 100 steps, smashed into the densely populated officers and soldiers, the soldiers shouted, and lay on the ground one after another, despite this, the huge fireball still smashed over several trebuchets, nearly 100 soldiers were injured, and there was a small commotion in the ranks of the officers and soldiers.

Seed Master Dao was unmoved, he looked at the Liangshan military camp wall and several giant cannons that had begun to burn in the distance with an expressionless face, and coldly ordered: "The crossbow army is forming a shield array to protect the trebuchet, and use the sky-shaking thunder to shoot instead!" ”

Two thousand crossbow troops rushed to the trebuchet under the leadership of the general He Guan, they used large shields to form a shield wall to protect the trebuchet, at the same time, another round of attack by the Liangshan army began, huge fireballs whistling and flying, smashing on the shield wall, crossing the trebuchet position, bounced to the crossbow army farther away, each giant fireball flew in, it would cause a riot in the official army.

The fire oil of the official army was effectively buried and extinguished by the soldiers of the Yangsan Army with soil, and the fireball counterattack of the Yangsan Army could also have some effect.

But with the official use of the Heaven-Shaking Thunder by the official army, the situation changed abruptly.

The first batch of fifteen swarthy earth-shattering thunderbolts shot into the Liangshan military camp, and three of them were dud bombs and twelve earth-shattering thunderbolts exploded one after another, and the earth-shattering explosion sounded hundreds of miles away.

Thousands of soldiers of the Liangshan Army were killed on the spot, two observation towers collapsed in the explosion, more than 20 cannons were blown to pieces, a section of the camp wall more than 50 zhang long was blown up, and the camp wall was in a mess within 100 paces, and there was not a single person alive.

Hundreds of steps away, the tents in the Liangshan military camp had been cleaned up because of fire prevention, and tens of thousands of generals were shocked by the earth-shattering explosion, covering their ears and squatting on the ground, and Song Jiang was no exception.

After a long time, Song Jiang slowly stood up, staring at the shattered artillery and the collapsed camp wall in amazement, he finally reacted that once the defense of the Liangshan military camp was destroyed, it would be the time for the Dao of the Seed Master to attack.

Song Jiang let out a long sigh, turned back to Dong Ping and said, "General Dong, gather your forces and fight the enemy in a bloody battle!" They're going to attack soon. ”

Dong Ping nodded, "General, please go to the back camp, I will command here, even if the Seed Master Dao personally kills in, I will make him pay a heavy price." ”

He turned around and shouted, "Send the general to the rear camp quickly!" ”

Song Jiang and Wu Yong and more than a dozen other civil officials were sent to the rear camp, and the 30,000 Liangshan army under the leadership of Dong Ping, Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Zhishen, Sun Li and other generals began to assemble rapidly, with 5,000 crossbowmen in front and tens of thousands of pikemen in the back.

At this time, the camp wall has been blown open a gap of more than 100 zhang, and it is impossible to defend on the camp wall, so you can only wait for the camp wall to collapse, and the enemy army will rush into the camp, and then use a powerful arrow array to block the opponent.

As a crumbling camp wall collapsed, and the last defensive line of the Liangshan army also disappeared, a smile appeared on the face of the planter, and then ordered: "The whole army retreats to the camp!" ”

The trebuchets were loaded onto ox carts and began to follow the army southward, and in a short time the officers and troops had disappeared, leaving behind a mess of the Liangshan army camp and tens of thousands of soldiers in terror.

......

The next day, Song Jiang, who was frightened by the earth-shattering thunder, made a decision to abandon Jeju and withdraw the whole army to Sucheng County, including the 7,000 soldiers led by Lin Chong in Juye County and the 30,000 Lu Junyi troops in Rencheng County.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Chong abandoned the county seat of Juye and led 7,000 troops to evacuate north with Song Jiang, and at the same time, Song Jiang's withdrawal order was also sent to the Liangshan Army Camp in Rencheng County.

As soon as the seed master Dao who got the news changed his usual steady and cautious style, he immediately repaired a letter and hurriedly sent someone to Yuncheng to deliver it to Li Yanqing at the speed of an emergency military report of 800 miles.

At the same time, Zong Ze led 5,000 troops to occupy Juye County, changing the logistics focus to Juye County, and he personally led 20,000 elite troops to rush to Rencheng County with a thunderous momentum.

.......

As the saying goes: it is better to see than to hear, although the soldiers who sent the letter described the power of the earth-shaking thunder very terrifyingly, but Lu Junyi, who did not witness it with his own eyes, did not believe that there would be such a powerful firearm.

What made Lu Junyi especially dissatisfied was that a new type of firearm scared Song Jiang into giving up Jeju and retreating to Yunzhou, which simply made the heroes of the world laugh.

Although Lu Junyi was extremely dissatisfied with Song Jiang in his heart, he still withdrew from the camp north a day later, and that night, Lu Junyi's army was temporarily stationed in a wilderness south of Sunjia Town.

The lights in the big tent were all bright, and Hu Cheng persuaded Lu Junyi: "I estimate that the earthquake thunder is just an excuse, the real reason is that Yunzhou is tight, and it is difficult for Song Jiang to maintain a two-front battle, so he can only choose to withdraw his troops to protect Yunzhou." ”

Lu Junyi frowned and said, "Li Yanqing is still a hairy boy under the age of twenty, is he really so powerful?" ”

Hu Cheng smiled bitterly, "He has been different since he was a child, falling into a well made him like a god possessed, the change is so great, I am afraid that except for his father Li Daqi, only I know best, at that time I felt that this kid will be extraordinary when he grows up, but I never thought that he would lead the army to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Liangshan army, speaking of which, I am afraid that it has a lot to do with Wang Ying's Tangyin Massacre, otherwise he will definitely avoid it, I know him very well, he is the kind of person with extremely clear grievances." ”

Lu Junyi snorted, "Song Jiang appoints people as relatives, there is no distinction between right and wrong, Wang Ying forcibly seized Chai Jin's military power, he actually acquiesced in such a serious matter, and sent Wu Yong to warn Chai Jin, such a person is the leader of all the heroes in Liangshan, what big thing can the Liangshan army achieve?" ”

At this moment, there was a scream in the distance, and there was a riot in the camp, Lu Junyi and Hu Cheng looked at each other, Lu Junyi secretly screamed badly, drew his sword and rushed out of the big tent, only to see a fire in the south of the camp, shouting and killing shook the sky, and the soldiers rushed into a mess.

At this time, a sergeant stumbled and shouted: "Oh no, the enemy has broken through the camp and killed in!" ”

Lu Junyi was so shocked that his scalp exploded, he was stolen by the enemy, but Hu Cheng was experienced, and immediately shouted: "General, the southern camp is no longer safe, quickly lead the brothers in the northern camp to retreat, otherwise we will be wiped out!" ”

Lu Junyi suddenly came to his senses, immediately turned over and got on his horse, and galloped towards the northern camp surrounded by his own soldiers, and heard him shouting from a distance: "Retreat with me quickly!" ”

Hu Cheng didn't worry about his daughter, he turned over on his horse, whipped his horse, and galloped towards the Xiying where his daughter Hu Qing'er was.......

When Lu Junyi camped at night, Chongshidao led 20,000 troops to attack the southern camp of the Liangshan army at night.

At this time, the army of the Seed Master Dao had already entered the barracks, they set fire everywhere, divided their troops to chase and kill the enemy troops who were scattered and fled, Lu Junyi's army was unprepared, and the whole army was defeated under the strong attack of 20,000 troops.

The soldiers threw away their armor and fled to the north without their lives, and the officers and soldiers pursued them all the way, killing the enemy with rivers of blood and corpses, and countless surrenderers.

In this battle, Lu Junyi's army suffered extremely heavy losses, all the grain and baggage were captured by the enemy, and more than 7,000 people were beheaded by 30,000 troops, and more than 10,000 people surrendered.

After dawn, Lu Junyi only collected more than 5,000 defeated soldiers, thinking that the 30,000 army would collapse overnight, which made Lu Junyi so ashamed and angry that he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself, Yan Qing's eyes were quick, and he hugged his father-in-law and shouted: "My father-in-law often said that Han Gaozu was repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu, but he succeeded in the next battle, but why should his father-in-law be demanding of himself?" ”

All the relatives and soldiers also rushed forward to seize Lu Junyi's sword, and at this time, a team of more than 1,000 people rushed in panic, it was Hu Cheng and his daughter Hu Qing'er, both of whom were stained with red blood on their armor, looking very embarrassed.

When Hu Cheng saw Lu Junyi, he hurriedly said: "I only collected more than 1,300 people, a large number of Jeju soldiers either surrendered or took the opportunity to flee home, the deputy marshal doesn't have to wait any longer, there are no defeated soldiers behind!" ”

Lu Junyi sighed, had to join forces with Hu Cheng, and retreated to Yunzhou in a panic.
