Zhu Daguan and his men met up with Zhu Yi and others at the border of Yudu, killed the garrison officers and soldiers, and marched to Pengcheng in a swaggering manner. In order to wait for Lin Feng to catch up with them, Zhu Tianjiang did not walk very fast along the way. But the strange thing is that they spent a whole day After walking for a whole day, Lin Feng was nowhere to be seen.
Zhu Tianjiang was worried and wanted to send someone back to search. However, Zhu Yi and others did not believe that something would happen to Lin Feng. With Lin Feng's ability, let alone a small Tengcheng, even within the palace, he They could still come and go freely. In this way, Zhu Tianjiang and others walked and waited, still taking the official road.
But it was said that the Pengcheng garrison officers and soldiers were attacked. While reporting to the capital, they also spread the news to the capitals below through various channels. After receiving the news, these cities did not send troops to arrest them, but closed the city to protect themselves. They watched helplessly. Zhu Tianjiang's fifty or so people walked through the city arrogantly. What's more, Daniel was under one of the cities and shamelessly asked for food from others. The officers and soldiers on the city gate honestly used baskets. They packed the beef and mutton and put them down. Seeing this scene, the seventh princess couldn't help but feel sad for the Dafeng country under her father's rule.
He usually spent so much money to support them, but at the critical moment, he saw the "culprit" but did not dare to arrest him. No wonder Zhu Tianjiang said that the soldiers and horses of the Dafeng Dynasty who can really fight will be in the northern camp after leaving the south of the town. Yun and Tianqing broke through the camps on both sides, and no one in the Dafeng Dynasty could stop them.
Zhu Tianjiang traveled south in a big way, but not everyone was afraid of his reputation. Their flamboyant behavior angered Gan Yucheng, the deputy commander of Pengcheng Camp. Originally, the position of coach of Pengcheng Camp had fallen to Wen Ruhai However, since Wen Ruhai was a die-hard figure in Guo Tianxin's faction, he was implicated and was no longer reused. Currently, the Pengcheng Camp is temporarily under the control of Pengcheng Prefect Wu Dayin, and the main leader is Deputy Commander Gan Yucheng.
Knowing that Zhu Tianjiang was heading south and was about to reach the border of Pengcheng, Gan Yucheng ordered two commanders to lead 3,000 troops to arrest Zhu Tianjiang. At this time, Zhu Daguan's good days were coming to an end. There were 3,000 soldiers in the Pengcheng camp. The horse caught up and finally had an encounter with Zhu Tianjiang and his party at the edge of Pengcheng's boundary.
It is said that Xia Qing has eliminated the scouts and found that a large number of soldiers and horses will definitely change their route. But this time, the soldiers and horses of the Pengcheng camp also learned the lesson and hid in a small town called Mengshan in the northwest of Pengcheng.
As usual, Zhu Tianjiang and others passed by the city in a swaggering manner. Since it was midnight, Daniel waved a torch to greet the officers and soldiers on Mengshan City. Just after the carriage and horses passed the city gate less than a hundred meters away, they heard With a bang-dong-dong sound of war drums, the city gate opened wide and a group of officers and soldiers came out.
According to the normal deployment of troops and horses, such a small town could only have about five hundred people at most. But when Zhu saw three columns of cavalry exiting the city side by side, he immediately realized something was wrong.
"No, there is an ambush here. Big Bull Zhu Er, please protect me and go first. Brother Xia Qing, let's stop him." Zhu Yi responded immediately.
The situation was urgent, and Zhu Er and Daniu did not argue. They led ten brothers to protect the cart and rushed forward. These brothers under Zhu Yi were well-trained. About forty of them were divided into two rows and lined up, drawing long swords. Blocked the way forward.
As soon as Zhu Yi and Xia Qing formed their formation, the other side rushed over. The two commanders in Pengcheng were eager to make contributions, but they also knew that Zhu Tianjiang had several good players around him, so they did not take the lead to rush out, but huddled at the back of the team to supervise the battle.
.
The two Baihus were leading the charge, and they were quite smug when they saw each other. When Xia Qing raised his hand, the two Baihus screamed in the darkness, and one of them covered one eye and fell off the horse.
Zhu Yi held a long sword in his hand and simply gave up his horse. He slapped the horse and flew out. Zhu Yi shouted wildly and waved the sword, cutting a piece of it like cutting a carrot. Xia Qing even held the sword in one hand and the other hand.
He kept shooting money darts. Forty brothers rushed towards him like hungry wolves.
The two commanders of the Pengcheng Camp looked a little stupid. Who killed whom? With the torches on the city, they saw that the people who fell off the horses were all their own men. The people in front of them neighed and their horses were neighing, and they were suddenly blocked.
They fought together. The brothers behind Xia Qing were all ready to fight, no matter what they said, they couldn't let the other side rush past.
Seeing this situation, the two commanders who led the team felt regretful. If they had known that the other side was so powerful, they would have ordered the officers and soldiers on the city to fire a round of crossbows. Now that the two sides have joined together,
The people behind were just watching the fun and couldn't get through at all.
"Come here, shoot the arrows!" One of the commanders couldn't bear it anymore and gave the order to the city regardless of whether it hurt one of his own.
When Zhu Yi and Xia Qing heard this, they were heartbroken. The north-south road of such a small city was right outside the city gate. Unlike a big city, the city gate was very wide, which was very convenient for them to block the way. But when the opponent shot an arrow, Zhu Yi
People here can't afford to die. There are only a few people here, and if one of them dies, they will lose their combat effectiveness.
"Brothers, withdraw from the two arrows." Zhu Yi had no choice but to jump back on his horse. He and Xia Qing held the position, and the brothers began to evacuate quickly. Even though Zhu Yi and others retreated quickly, they still
Seven or eight people were hit by arrows.
When Xia Qing saw it, he quickly shouted loudly, "The injured brothers retreat first, and the others are divided into two teams. Zhu Yi, you lead a pair and retreat 200 feet, and we take turns holding them down."
"Come on, Brother Xia Qing, be careful. If you can't, retreat immediately and we will come on top." Zhu Yi was not polite and immediately retreated with more than a dozen people.
Both Zhu Yi and Xia Qing knew that they could not stop the opponent's impact at all, so they could only use this method to slow down the opponent's progress.
After several rounds, both Zhu Yi and Xia Qing were injured, and there were less than twenty brothers left around them. Moreover, all of them were injured. The two had to join forces for the final battle.
There were rounds of resistance. This back and forth had cost them a pack of cigarettes. In any case, everyone had done their best.
The officers and soldiers in Pengcheng were also frightened by Zhu Yi's life-threatening fighting style of about 40 people. Especially the two commanders, they did not dare to rush forward at all. The officers shrank back, and the soldiers even more
Work hard but not effort. Otherwise, Zhu Yi and the others would have been defeated long ago.
"Zhu Yi, withdraw and conserve your strength." Xia Qing couldn't help but say something when he saw several more brothers being cut off from their horses.
"Listen, brothers, retreat!" Zhu Yi gave the order in a loud voice in desperation.
These men were already exhausted. After hearing the order, they quickly withdrew from the battle group. These brothers did not panic and let the injured brother go first. Zhu Yi and Xia Qing were at the back fighting and retreating.
During the fight, the Pengcheng officers and soldiers did not see the advantage of having a large number of people, but Zhu Yi retreated. The two commanders immediately divided the team into four columns and chased forward. As long as they ran away, Zhu Yi and the others could not stop them even if they wanted to.
live.
In the darkness, two groups of people were chasing each other one after another. Even though Zhu Tianjiang ran away with a pack of cigarettes in advance, in this era, four wheels could not run as fast as four legs. In less than an hour, Zhu Yi was in the moonlight.
I saw the shadow of the car in front of me.
Zhu Yi was so angry, thinking that Daniel was not smart, so Zhu Er also became stupid. Under such circumstances, why did he keep running on the official road? Even if they took the small road, they could lead the pursuers away. This
It's good to get down, it means you didn't run away.
Zhu Yike wronged Da Niu and the others. It wasn't that these people didn't know how to hide in the trails, but that there were no trails to follow at all. The difference from the north was that near the boundary of Pengcheng, on both sides of the official road, besides ditches and rocky hills, there were rice fields.
, the carriages and horses could not move forward at all.
Zhu Tianjiang stood on the carriage and felt a bit cold in his heart when he saw the large army chasing after him crazily.
At this moment, a black figure ran over on horseback in front of him. This was the scout sent out by Zhu Er. As soon as he was attacked, Zhu Er asked one of his brothers to run forward quickly to see if there was any hiding place. Zhu Er knew
Xia Qingzhuyi and the others could not stop them for long, they could only find a place to hide first.
"Sir, there is a high mountain ahead. The mountain is very dangerous. You can go up the mountain to hide for a while." The scout came to the car and said hurriedly.
When Zhu Tianjiang heard this, he couldn't care less, "Okay, then go into the mountains and hide. Once in the mountains, the cavalry will not be able to take advantage of their speed."
At this time, Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others also chased after them. When they heard that there was a mountain ahead, everyone felt happy.
The team soon arrived at the bottom of the mountain. Zhu Yi raised his eyes and saw through the moonlight that the mountain was indeed dangerous. There was only a rugged mountain road leading to the top of the mountain from top to bottom. This kind of terrain only needs a dozen people to guard it, and others cannot attack it at all.
Go up. Zhu Tianjiang supported the seventh princess, and everyone abandoned their horses and began to run up the mountain.
The two commanders who were chasing behind saw Zhu Tianjiang and others climbing up the mountain. Instead of being anxious, they burst into laughter. Zhu Tianjiang and others did not know that this mountain was called Xiaolong Mountain. Despite its dangerous terrain,
It is a solitary mountain. There is a mountain temple on the top of the mountain, and the incense is usually pretty good. But behind the mountain is a cliff. Apart from this rugged mountain road, there is no other mountain road to go down the mountain.
Now, all they need to do is guard the road down the mountain, and then send someone to notify the deputy commander Gan Yucheng. As soon as most of the troops arrive, even if they are trapped, Zhu Tianjiang and others can starve to death on the mountain.
