Seeing that the officers and soldiers were retreating very fast, they had reached a distance of three or four miles in just over half an hour, leaving the Erlong Mountain people and others who were chasing down the mountain road less to worry. Especially after seeing the officers and soldiers' flags scattered and the rear troops retreating at full speed, they felt that their chances of winning had increased by three points.
"Hurry, catch up with me, don't let these guys run away!" As Deng Long urged loudly, the leader of the Seven-Eight-Two Dragon Mountains walked quickly. After descending the mountain, he spread his legs and walked straight forward. Rushing, while running, he shouted: "Don't let the officers and soldiers escape, kill them all, and avenge the brothers!" The whole army was so powerful that it rushed behind the officers and soldiers like a long dragon that wanted to devour everything. Chase after him.
The officers and soldiers in front seemed to be greatly frightened at this time. They all ran at full speed amid the noise and shouting. Many people even gave up some flags, tents, pots and pans and other items in order to run faster. It was abandoned on the ground, but it didn't even have the courage to detach an army to stop it.
The Erlongshan people and others who saw this scene were even more surprised. The morale of the officers and soldiers completely collapsed. This was the best opportunity to annihilate them all. At this moment, hundreds of people were running away, no longer caring about the formation and formation, and just chasing after them. The security team was scattered into piles of small groups, and there was no coordination at all.
After chasing for another seven or eight miles, the speed of the officers and soldiers finally slowed down. Just when the bandits from Erlong Mountain who were at the forefront felt that they could go on a killing spree, a change that stunned them ensued. The officers and soldiers who were also fleeing in disorder suddenly suddenly disappeared after a blast of horns. Quickly assembled into a team, several square formations were formed in the blink of an eye, and then they were surrounded by them from three directions: left, center and right. The speed was not even much slower than when they were running away before.
Deng Long led more than a dozen of his men and were stunned when they saw Sun Tu leading hundreds of Qingzhou troops in front of him, shouting and counterattacking. On his left and right, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi were leading the charge. They came up with hundreds of soldiers and horses to cover them up, full of murderous intent, but there was no sign that the morale of the army was broken and they fled away!
"How is this possible? They must be just bluffing, that's right! They have been short of food for many days. Now the army has run out of food. Everyone is hungry. How can they still fight!" Deng Long encouraged himself in his heart, and then shouted to the men around him: "Don't be afraid, they are just superficial, they are not vulnerable at all! Fight with me and defeat them!" After shouting this After saying a few words, he held up the cooked copper stick in his hand and rushed forward in large strides. The people behind him were stunned for a moment, and then followed closely.
Although the official army's carbine attack was indeed beyond their expectations, they had also seen the official army's increasingly weak performance before. At the beginning of the attack on the front line, the army seemed quite eager and strong, but later on the offensive became weaker and weaker. Isn't this a sign of their internal problems? Isn't it the result of the army's lack of food? So now as long as you grit your teeth and fight through it, you can defeat it in one fell swoop!
With such belief, everyone roared and followed Deng Long to collide head-on with Sun Tu and the others. Sun Tu and Deng Long, the two leading generals in their respective armies, also faced each other head-on in an instant. Deng Long roared and the long stick in his hand started to draw.
It roared down and hit Sun Tu's head: "You were seriously injured before, but even if you work hard, you can still take a few of my moves!" He could remember clearly that that day, Sun Tu, the fighting general under the mountain, was seriously injured by Wu Song and retreated. After that, he was never seen in front of the two armies, which showed how serious his injury was.
Seeing the opponent's club hitting him with all his strength, Sun Tu only curled his lips and stepped aside easily. With the gun in his hand, he saw the opportunity and quickly grabbed the opponent's chest. His spear was stronger than a cooked copper stick. To grow a lot, naturally there will be a lot of advantages in fighting like this.
Sure enough, seeing this, Deng Long did not dare to continue attacking. He quickly put his stick back and defended, and when he pressed down, he hit the gun body and stopped the stabbing. But before he could make the next move, Sun Tu's hands suddenly shook, and the spear was quickly recovered, and then shot out again, turning into numerous spear shadows, attacking the opponent's face, throat, chest and other vital points. Harm. This move is Lin Chong's unique move to kill the enemy. Generally speaking, opponents cannot resist so many gun shadows that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and they are likely to be assassinated by this move.
Fortunately, Deng Long was very skilled in martial arts. When he saw this, he shouted loudly and spun the stick in his hand with all his strength, protecting his upper body and narrowly blocking numerous gunshots. But his expression also became solemn. The Sun Tu in front of him didn't seem to be as seriously injured as he had just judged. In other words, his injury had healed. It would not be so easy to capture him now.
A strange light flashed in Sun Tu's eyes: "There are some tricks, let's see!" He didn't panic even after his special move was blocked, he quickly drew his gun, and with a press of his wrist, it was aimed at the opponent's lower abdomen and thighs again. The stabbing attack forced Deng Long to retreat slightly. While avoiding the attack, he moved his stick down to block the attack, and finally did not get hit.
After a few moves, Sun Tu could tell that the martial arts skills of both sides were almost the same. Even if he was slightly better than his opponent, he wouldn't have much advantage. It was not that easy to injure his opponent. However, he was not discouraged. He let out a long roar and swung his gun again to attack. The attack became stronger and stronger, never giving the opponent any chance to breathe and escape.
Until this time, Deng Long could finally be sure that Sun Tu had almost no injuries on his body. But if that's the case, why did he look like he was seriously injured before? Is it just to numb yourself and others? Judging from this, could it be said that even the retreat of the officers and soldiers was already in their plan
Just when he realized that the situation was not good, screams continued to come from around him. Deng Long could compete with Sun Tu with his martial arts skills, but the other people in Erlong Mountain did not have this ability. When the officers and soldiers gathered in a battle formation and pushed back came to them, it was like a copper wall and an iron wall. The tactics instantly crushed and swallowed up these surprised guys.
Originally, the strength of the official army was much stronger than that of these Erlong Mountain bandits. Now, one side has encountered a sudden change, and they are not even mentally prepared. In addition, the official army has a slight advantage in terms of military strength, and the people of Erlong Mountain cannot quickly assemble into a team. , are still scattered there, and all kinds of unfavorable factors come together, which naturally leads to a crushing situation.
Amid the screams, the bandits in Erlong Mountain didn't even have a chance to resist, and were killed one after another and fell to the ground. When the companions in front fell one by one, the others were completely panicked. Just as they were about to flee, the officers and soldiers surrounding them on both sides also surrounded and killed them with murderous intent, forcing them to
They could only turn around and run back again.
This time, the officers and soldiers pursued them faster than when they escaped before. They kept catching up with the thieves and then knocked them over and stabbed them down. For a time, the plains at the foot of Erlong Mountain were filled with screams, corpses were strewn on the ground, and blood was flowing everywhere. Hundreds of Erlong Mountain thieves were all bereft dogs. They only hated their parents for giving birth to two legs for them, and they only focused on moving towards them with all their strength. He ran to his own cottage, thinking he could run up the mountain to save his life.
The battle ended at the beginning. Under the powerful offensive of the Qingzhou Army, these Erlong Mountain bandits collapsed without even the slightest ability to parry, and they could only be beaten.
When his men instantly collapsed, Deng Long, who was still able to compete with Sun Tu, also panicked. Especially at this time, in addition to having to deal with Sun Tu's fierce attacks again and again, he also had to watch out for someone sneaking up on him from behind, making it impossible for him to concentrate on fighting the enemy. Finally, after dodging a knife on the side with all his strength, he was stabbed in the shoulder by Sun Tu as soon as his strength was gone. He groaned and staggered back, shouting: "Despicable!"
Hearing this, Sun Tu laughed loudly: "You and I are the army to suppress bandits. We are facing each other in the two armies. This is not a fair competition as you thought. Everything I did today was for one purpose. Then Just wipe out Erlong Mountain!" At this point, he pounced again, stabbing out the gun in his hand, forcing the opponent to endure the pain and continue to hold the stick in both hands to resist, but his breathing was messed up, and a moment later, he was hit twice in the chest. Gun, covered in blood.
"Put down your weapons, kneel down and surrender, and I might be able to spare your life!" Sun Tu retracted his gun, pointed at the opponent and shouted loudly.
Deng Long was breathing heavily. It was only then that he had the opportunity to turn around and look at the battle situation behind him. At this glance, he was stunned and asked: "How is this possible?" The brother behind him had already collapsed. Fleeing, he was chased by the army and ran towards Erlong Mountain like a lost dog. Is this still the Qingzhou Army he saw a few days ago
The officers and soldiers obviously looked hungry and weak two days ago, but why are they all so energetic today and can't see any problems? Could it be that Han Benshan had lied before? In fact, the officers and soldiers never had the so-called food shortage problem? At this moment, his mind was in a state of confusion, and he was also in despair. More than half of the main force in the cottage suffered casualties in the battle. Even if he could escape back to the mountain with others, he might not be able to defend Erlong Mountain in the future.
And in the final analysis, all this is just that there is an error in one's own judgment. How could this be so
The same question also appeared in Han Benshan's heart, and he looked at the rapidly deteriorating battle situation in front of him with disbelief. Today's officers and soldiers don't seem to be troubled by food at all. They are all very active. Where did they get so much spare food? At this moment, he could no longer understand the anger and suspicion of Qi Liu beside him...
Lu Yuan, who was on the mountain, was also surprised: "How could this be? I saw the smoke from the cooking pots used by the officers and soldiers in the past two days, and the amount was indeed greatly reduced. Yesterday and today, it was almost invisible. Smoke, even if they have food reserves, they can't hide it from me... "
After all, the reason why there was such a defeat today was because they all believed that the army had run out of food, otherwise Erlongshan would never dare to take the risk of pursuing it. But...how could the current situation become like this
How could this be
