The night was blank and the moonlight was hazy.

When Wang Ben learned that Su Lie attacked the Shagang camp again, not only did he not return to the rescue, but instead treated Su Lie's body in the way of Su Lie, and ordered the whole army to march towards Hepu and attack Hepu City and the Han army camp fifty miles away. At the same time, he sent an envoy to Jiangjunling, informing Pei Yuanqing that he did not need to return to the Shagang camp, and urgently rushed to Hepu City for reinforcements, striving to take the city in one go.

The 40,000 Guishan army extinguished the torches, kept silent and picked up the bells, unloaded the burden, followed Wang Ben lightly, and quietly appeared about five miles south of Hepu City in two hours.

Similar to Li Xiucheng who guarded the Shagang camp, Lu Xiangsheng, who guarded the Han army camp, and Xin Ping, who was guarding the city, and Yi Ju, who was guarding the city, all made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and was caught off guard by the coalition forces in one fell swoop, so they hurriedly organized a defense.

"Gustav, order you to lead 10,000 horses to burn the Han army camp, and Bendu will lead other soldiers to attack the city!"

With Wang Ben's order, the 40,000 allied soldiers divided into two routes, Gustav brandished a big axe and led his troops to launch a fierce attack on the Han army camp, while Wang Ben led six times the strength of the defenders to storm the city of Hepu.

The Kushan army came too quickly, and as soon as the Han army opened its formation, the 10,000 horses led by Gustav were killed in front of the gate of the wall. Lu Xiangsheng was fully clothed and commanded the Han army to resist vigorously and prevent the enemy from rushing into the camp.

The two armies launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle at the gate of the camp, and it was difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat for a while, and the Kushan army fired rockets at the Han army camp from time to time, igniting many tents, which made Lu Xiangsheng have to divide his troops to extinguish the fire, and he could not draw troops to reinforce the city.

"Those who climb the city wall first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, and they will be crowned marquis!"

Wang Ben was dressed in armor and personally beat the drum to cheer. The morale of the 30,000 Guishan army was greatly boosted, under the leadership of more than a dozen generals. After an hour of storming, more and more soldiers finally climbed the walls of Hepu. The city is already within reach.

Like the Guishan army guarding the Shagang camp, the 5,000 Han troops in Hepu City were also relatively weak soldiers, and Xin Ping and Shiyi were both strategists, lacking fierce generals who pressed the formation. Under the thunderous offensive of the Guishan army, it was slowly unable to support it, and the drawbridge was cut off, the city gate was opened, and Wang Ben took the horse and carried the sword, leading the Guishan army into Hepu City like a tide.

Shi Yi had just come down the city wall. couldn't escape, and was surrounded by Wang Ben's pro-army regiments, slashing and killing with swords. Xin Ping escaped by luck and led more than 2,000 remnants of the defeated army to retreat from the North Gate.

The sun rises in the east and breaks through the fog, and the battle situation is gradually becoming clearer.

Su Lie and Mu Guiying successfully attacked the Guishan camp and won a complete victory, burning the Guishan nest for more than ten miles in Shagang, killing more than 15,000 allied troops, and capturing Li Xiucheng, one of the six giants of the Taiping Army. At this point, all the leaders of the Taiping Army withdrew from the stage of history, and this came to an end.

And Wang Ben used his human way to govern his people, counterattacked the Han army camp and Hepu City, and conquered the city in one fell swoop. and attacked left and right with Gustav, defeated Lu Xiangsheng, and also set fire to the Han army camp.

It can be said that this is a battle of mutual explosions. But on the whole, Wang Ben still had the upper hand, after all, he won the important town of Hepu. This city has been attacked by Pei Yuanqing for nearly a year. Finally fell into the hand, and from then on you can drive straight into it without hindrance. Kill Nanhai County and go straight to the east of Jiaozhou.

On the side of General Ridge, relying on the help of Hannibal and the outstanding performance of the cavalry under Joan of Arc, the Han army reversed the decline, successfully broke through the ambush, and rescued Meng Liang and the remaining 1,500 people from the hillside, but the price paid for this was the lives of Guo Wei and 7,000 soldiers.

In contrast, the Guishan army, which waited for work, did not have an advantage, and under the coordinated operation of the three-way Han army, the Guishan army killed tens of thousands of people, not to mention, even Wei Changhui, the leader of the Taiping army, was beheaded by Xu Huang, and the dragons were leaderless.

Xu Huang and Joan of Arc led their troops to retreat, and only halfway did they learn that Hepu was lost, and Su Lie and Wang Ben blew up the camp together, so they hurriedly sent people to contact people from all walks of life, and gathered near Shema Town to discuss countermeasures.

At noon, people from all walks of life arrived one after another, the first to arrive were Su Lie and Mu Guiying, half an hour later Fan Lihua also led the troops to arrive, and finally Lu Xiangsheng and Xin Ping led the remnants of the defeated soldiers from the north to turn back.

Xu Huang sent people to count the battle damage, and the battle lost a total of 17,000 troops, and also took the lives of Guo Wei and Shi Yi; Not to mention that the camp was burned, even Hepu was lost, which made Xu Huang's mood extremely heavy.

The only good news is that Xu Huang's grain and grass are not in Hepu City, but are hoarded in Liandao County, which is a hundred miles away, which keeps the Han army from being discouraged because of the lack of food.

"Alas...... A certain soldier has no way, loses Hepu, is ashamed of the grace of God, and should repair a letter to ask for demotion! Xu Huang looked ashamed and blamed himself.

He also thanked Su Liezuo: "Thanks to Su Dingfang's surprise strategy, he attacked the Guishan camp twice, and finally succeeded in burning the enemy's lair and killing more than 15,000 thieves, so as not to lose this battle too badly." On the way of using troops, it is better to be ashamed, and I am willing to give in to the commanders of the three armies! ”

Su Lie was not proud, but a little ashamed, and returned the salute to Xu Huang: "General Gongming's words are serious, and my strategy has also been miscalculated. originally wanted to sneak attack the Shagang camp, lure Wang Ben back to the division to rescue, and ambush the main force of Guishan halfway. Unexpectedly, Wang Ben made a dangerous move, choosing not to save the Shagang battalion, but instead smashed Hepu, so that he lost the city and the walled gate, how could Su Lie dare to take credit? ”

Mu Guiying comforted the two: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the two generals must blame themselves!" Wang Ben is a famous general in the world, invincible in the Guishan country, assisted by Pei Yuanqing, Wei Changhui and others, with as many as 150,000 troops, twice as many as me. In the case of luring Meng Liang to enter the field and occupy the lead, it is not a shame that our army can fight like this! ”

"Alas...... I blame me for this, it's because I was greedy and fell for Wang Ben's tricks, please punish my mother! Meng Liang knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

Mu Guiying's apricot eyes were round, and the big red Vermilion Bird Feather on her head danced wildly in the wind, and she scolded angrily: "Do you remember how Ben Shuai told you when you left the camp?" Your greed for merit has killed the lives of more than 17,000 soldiers, and Hepu has been lost, and your guilt will not be atoned for! Where is the left and right? Push Meng Liang down and cut it down for me! ”

"Ah...... What a slash? Meng Liang's face was so frightened that he sat on the ground, "If I knew this, I might as well fight with that gorilla to the death, and I would be a hero after death!" ”

"Don't be verbose, die with backbone!"

The knife and axe hand was very disgusted by Meng Liang's greed for merit, and several men with five big and three rough men stepped forward to set up Meng Liang, and walked more than a dozen into the distance, about to show Meng Liang's head to the public, in order to correct the military law.

Seeing that his brother was about to be in a different place, Qi Guoyuan hurriedly jumped out and pleaded: "Niangniang's extrajudicial mercy, this Wang Ben is a famous general in the world, and he uses soldiers like a god, since he deliberately lured Meng Liang to be shortlisted, how can he be spared?" Even you didn't take advantage of it when you worked together, let alone Meng Liang, a big man with no ink? ”

Meng Liang sighed in the distance: "Alas...... Don't talk about the big country, it's all my fault, I killed General Guo Wei, Mr. Shi Yi, and 17,000 brothers! You shouldn't have saved me, let that Ruan Weng Zhong smash me to death, so that I can still have a reputation of dying on the battlefield, but now I am going to be beheaded, what a shame! ”

Xu Huang has been fighting with Guishuang for more than two years, and knows that Ruan Weng Zhong is one of the few fierce generals in Guishuang, and after listening to the conversation between Qi Guoyuan and Meng Liang, his face changed: "Listen to the meaning of your words, then Ruan Weng Zhong also came to participate in the war?" ”

Hearing Ruan Wengzhong's name, Qi Guoyuan hurriedly brought over the "one-word ribbed unicorn" that had just been tamed by himself, and muttered: "Look, everyone, don't look at the ugly appearance of this war horse, but it is like flying, it is the BMW I snatched from under Ruan Weng Zhong's hands." I am willing to use this horse to forgive Meng Liang's sins, and please keep people under the knife! ”

Mu Guiying couldn't cry or laugh a little, and reprimanded with a straight face: "Nonsense, how can military law allow you to bargain?" ”

Su Lie was moved by Qi Guoyuan's remarks just now, and bowed his hand to Mu Guiying: "Virtuous Concubine Niangniang, what this strong man said also makes sense, Wang Ben has a good way of using troops and is full of strategies, and we have not taken advantage of our collective efforts." Since he is calculating, even if Meng Liang does not fall into the scheme, there will be other generals who will be lured into the trap, and this battle is inevitable! ”

Joan of Arc interceded with Hannibal on behalf of Meng Liang: "In our West, General Meng Liang's behavior is at best a mistake in decision-making, and it is not enough to kill his head. To cut off General Meng's head, this punishment is too heavy! ”

Since all the generals interceded for Meng Liang, Mu Guiying did a favor and ordered Meng Liang to be escorted back: "Although the death penalty is forgiven, the living crime is unforgivable!" I won't kill you this time, but eighty military sticks are indispensable, and this is the time to use people, so I'll send you for the time being. After the state is settled, I will settle accounts with you! ”

"Thank goodness, thank you!" Meng Liang cried with joy, "Thank you General Gongming, thank you General Dingfang, thank you General Zhende......"

Meng Liang hugged Qi Guoyuan as he spoke, and cried: "Great power...... I finally don't have to die! ”

"Go aside!" Qi Guoyuan pushed Meng Liang away at once, and said seriously, "Please call me Shenwei, invincible, unparalleled in the world, conquering Beizhen, Nanandong, Pingxi, brave and brave in the world, riding hussars, riding horses, and riding generals!" ”

"Why weren't you stoned to death by Ruan Weng Chung?" Meng Liang was angry and angry, blowing his beard and glaring at Qi Guoyuan.

Xu Huang was more interested in how Qi Guoyuan snatched Ruan Weng Zhong's horse, for a military general, a mount on the battlefield is a second life. I heard that Ruan Weng Zhong's combat power is especially better than Pei Yuanqing, and Qi Guoyuan was able to snatch the war horse from Ruan Weng Zhong's hands, could it be that Qi Guoyuan's martial arts are unfathomable?

After listening to Xu Huang's inquiry, Qi Guoyuan made another mistake of bragging, coughed, and boasted in a matter-of-fact manner: "I'm a relatively low-key person, and I don't usually like to show off, so the world rarely knows my name!" That Ruan Weng Zhong was shocked by me in one round, and he fell off his horse and spat blood from his mouth, if it wasn't for the timely rescue of the Guishan army, I would have killed him a long time ago. Let the boiled duck fly away, I had to ride his mount back, since General Xu is interested, I will give you this leper unicorn? (To be continued.) )
