At the time of the third watch, there was a shout of killing in the city of Wu County, 3,000 elite soldiers who entered the city from the tunnel seized the west gate, tens of thousands of Meng Haigong's troops entered the city, the morale of the defenders in the city was low, and they surrendered on their knees, Meng Haigong's army began to search for deserters throughout the city, Meng Haigong issued a strict order, and those who resisted were all killed.

This order brought great disasters to the civilians of Wu County, families were broken in, soldiers used civilian resistance to burn ****, and the city was full of fires and cries.

Meng Haigong led the army to rush to the county office, at this time the battle of the county government has ended, this is the fiercest place in the city, more than a thousand defenders are desperately resisting here, but he can not resist the encirclement and suppression of thousands of enemy troops, almost all the soldiers are killed.

"Did Shen Faxing catch it?" Meng Haigong shouted angrily.

A partial general stepped forward and said: "King Qiyu, Shen Faxing killed several wives and concubines and young sons, and he himself killed himself with a sword. ”

Meng Haigong snorted heavily, "Chop off other people's heads and make them into urinals for me!" ”

At this time, more than 100 soldiers drove a large group of men and women, about seventy or eighty people, all of them trembling with fright, kneeling down together and begging for mercy, "Who are they?" Meng Haigong glanced at these people and asked.

"Report to the king, they are members of the Han family and the Qu family, and they are all members of the Jiangnan Society."

The Han family and the Qu family are also the scholars of Wu County, but the county is not as good as the Lu family and the Gu family, Meng Haigong frowned, "The Lu family and the Gu family should also be in the city, why don't you see them?" ”

"King Qiyu, General Lu and the Gu family are all empty houses, and the housekeeper said that they fled to Jiangning County a month ago."

Meng Haigong was extremely angry in his heart, and the horsewhip pointed at the people on the ground, "All of them will be dragged down and slaughtered!" ”

Seventy or eighty people were suddenly frightened and possessed, begging for mercy, Meng Haigong's soldiers were like wolves, two people grabbed one person, dragged them down, and the crying and begging for mercy gradually disappeared.

Meng Haigong was still angry, gritted his teeth and said: "I have to set foot in Jiangning County!" ”

Meng Haigong ordered his son Meng Yi to lead 50,000 troops to guard Wu County, and he himself personally led 50,000 troops to the north, burning and looting all the way, more ruthless than Meng Qi's ghosts, everywhere he passed was white land, all the manor granaries were robbed, and then burned down, the army marched quickly, and entered the territory of Danyang County three days later.

At this time, Meng Qigui's army was confronting 13,000 soldiers of Jiangnanhui in Qu'a County, and Meng Qigui's army was about 15,000 people, almost all of them were Lebotong's army, and their equipment and morale were relatively poor.

In order to envelop this army, Meng Ghost indulged the soldiers to burn and kill **** all the way, and won the loyalty of the soldiers, but Meng Ghost also knew in his heart that this army was very good at dealing with civilians, and it might not work to let them go to the battlefield.

And the other party is very well-equipped, Mingguang armor, eagle helmet, horizontal knife, war spear, which makes Meng Qi a little worried, he didn't dare to go north again, and refused to wait for support in Qu'a County.

Outside Qu'a County, the Jiangnan Army's military flag was unfurled, the drums were like thunder, the soldiers were bright and bright, and they were particularly energetic.

The main general Shen Lun is the second son of Shen Faxing, about thirty years old, with big ears and dignified appearance, he is the most promising person among Shen Faxing's five sons, who can lead troops to fight and be the only party.

Shen Lun looked at the city from afar, thinking about how to attack the city, Qu'a City is not high, and it is very old, it is not difficult to capture this city, as long as the siege weapons are in place, they can capture the city in one day.

It's just that Shen Lun was a little worried that his army didn't have time to conduct siege training, and he was afraid that there would be heavy casualties, so he was a little hesitant in his heart.

At this time, Shen Fu, the housekeeper of the Shen family next to him, said in a low voice: "Second son, it's better to kill Wu County directly!" Let's see if we can all besiege Wu County. ”

Shen Lun shook his head, "Our task is to defeat this army, otherwise as soon as we leave, Jiangning County will be finished." ”

At this time, a cavalry scout rushed to the scene and shouted: "General, a thief army of about 2,000 people has been found ahead, and it is less than five miles away from Qu'a County. ”

Shen Lun was overjoyed, this army came at the right time, it could be annihilated in one fell swoop, and boost morale, he immediately shouted: "Order the whole army to go south and prepare for battle!" ”

Thirteen thousand Jiangnan troops were dispatched, bypassing Qu'a County and running along the official road, Meng Qigui stood at the head of the city and looked coldly at the soldiers who were gradually moving away, and couldn't help sneering, since they want to find death, then it will be fulfilled for them,

He immediately ordered: "The army will go out of the city at once, and cut off the enemy's return path!" ”

At this time, it was just past noon, the official road was empty, there was not a single pedestrian, the left side of the official road was close to the Jiangnan Canal, and on the right was a bare rice field, and in the distance there was a large forest, and several nearby villages had been destroyed by the rebels, and the autumn wind was bleak, which was particularly bleak.

Thirteen thousand soldiers of the Jiangnan Army were already lined up in the wilderness next to the official road, and hundreds of miles in front of them, a thief army of 2,000 people stood quietly, as if waiting for something.

"General, it seems a little wrong!" A senior general whispered to Shen Lun.

Shen Lun also felt something, but he couldn't say what was wrong, "Did you find anything?" Shen Lun asked.

"This army is only 2,000 people, and when we see that we should turn around and flee, why are they still waiting for us, it doesn't make sense!"

Shen Lun gasped, he suddenly thought of the word 'bait', he turned his head to look at the woods in the distance, at this time, he faintly noticed that there were figures walking in the woods.

"Not good! Hit the plan. ”

Shen Lun realized that they had fallen into a trap and shouted, "Retreat immediately!" ”

But it was too late, the war drums in the woods in the distance suddenly sounded, the black oppressive army rushed out of the woods, tens of thousands of enemy troops surrounded Jiangnan from three directions, the soldiers were shocked, Shen Lun shouted: "Don't panic, line up to fight!" ”

Meng Haigong stood on a mound on horseback, watching the chaotic Jiangnan Army from a distance, his eyes narrowed, it was actually Mingguang Armor, just in time, he waved his sword and ordered in a cold voice: "Kill without mercy!" ”

The army of 50,000 Meng Haigong shouted and slaughtered the enemy like a tide.

.........

In Jiangning County, dozens of carriages loaded with large boxes and small boxes were moored on the dock, and dozens of family members were busy carrying boxes onto a big ship, and the boxes were all items of the Yuan Mansion, which was already the third batch of moving items, a month ago, several core families of the Jiangnan Society transported most of their property to Jiangdu, and a few days ago, they took advantage of the night to transport away a batch of materials, and the property and family members of the four major families basically went to Jiangdu.

On the steps of the dock stood an old man with white hair, it was Yuan Zherong, he was directing the family to carry the last batch of other house belongings, seeing that the items were about to be moved, there were still a few extraordinarily heavy large items left, more than a dozen family members were struggling to lift a superb Taihu Lake stone, Yuan Zherong waved the dragon head staff and shouted: "Be careful with that stone, if there is a little damage, beware that I peeled your skin!" ”

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, Xie Yong quickly whipped his horse, and ran towards this side with an anxious face, before the war horse stopped, he turned over and dismounted, and ran a few steps forward and said: "Yuan Gong, it's over!" ”

"What's over, don't worry, speak slowly!"

"Our army was wiped out in Qu'a County, and General Shen Lun was also unfortunately killed,"

Yuan Zherong was stunned for a moment, and only said in a half-loud voice: "Didn't you say that Meng Qigui didn't dare to fight with our army?" ”

"It's not Meng Haigong's army, it's Meng Haigong, he led an army of 50,000 to kill, our army was surrounded, most of them were killed, only a part jumped into the Jiangnan River to escape, Meng Haigong's army is killing us."

Yuan Zherong's legs were weak and he almost fell, Xie Yong hurriedly supported him, "Yuan Gong, what should we do now?" ”

Yuan Zherong was sweating profusely and asked, "How far is the thief army from Jiangning County?" ”

"A hundred miles at most, it will be killed tonight, and we only have five hundred soldiers left in our hands, what should we do?"

Yuan Zherong pretended to be calm and said to Xie Yong: "You go and inform the other families to prepare to evacuate first, and I will come immediately!" ”

Xie Yong was so anxious that he turned over and ran towards the county seat, and as soon as Xie Yong left, Yuan Zherong shouted: "Help me get on the boat!" ”

Several family members hurriedly helped him to walk towards the big boat, and one of them asked again, "What about these stones?" ”

"Throw them all into the river, start the boat immediately, hurry up!"

The family threw a few pieces of Taihu Lake stones into the Yangtze River, and they helped Yuan Zherong onto the big boat, and the boatman asked, "Master, where are we going?" ”

"Go to Jiangdu, let's go!"

The big boat slowly left the dock and sailed down the river in the direction of Jiangdu. (To be continued.) )
