The rocket caused a mountain fire, and Liu He's team was burned to death.
Song Mao and his men hid in the dark and fired cold arrows at Liu He's people.
"General! What should we do?" Liu He's subordinates asked anxiously.
Although it caught fire, the damage was within an acceptable range.
If you avoid the ignition point, you won't burn many people.
Liu Hetan looked at the camp in front of him. The camp was complete with living supplies, as well as a lot of fodder and clothes to dry.
This should be the base camp of Song Mao's remaining troops.
They came here to wipe out the remnants of Song Mao.
Now we encountered them. Although they were ambushed, they did not have a head-on confrontation with the remnants of Song Mao.
In Liu He's opinion, Song Mao's remnant troops must have few people and could only carry out sneak attacks.
"Rush over! Rush to that camp!"
Liu He became angry.
Although he was attacked by surprise, he still wanted to complete his goal. Even if the remnants of Song Mao were prepared, he would destroy the station of the remnants of Song Mao and drive them out of the mountain.
This is indeed the camp of Song Mao's remnants.
Just one of them.
There are four such campsites in the mountains!
Liu He led a large force through a burning fire belt.
The fire that had just started was stamped out.
"Hmph! If you set fire, I will do the same! Burn this camp for me!" Liu He said coldly.
The boys lit torches nearby and rushed directly to the camp to set fires everywhere.
Liu He stood with a proud smile on his face.
Looking around, the remaining defeated soldiers watched them set fire, and no one dared to stop them.
Liu He was thinking about going back to claim credit when suddenly there was a noise from behind the large army.
"There's someone behind you!"
"No! There are people here too!"
"We seem to be surrounded!"
Liu He listened to the shouts and felt doubtful in his heart. One thousand surrounded five thousand?
What a joke!
I turned around and saw, sure enough, there were many people standing on the hillside.
It's not a thousand at all, so many people say three or four thousand at least.
"No! They are not a thousand people at all! Escape quickly!"
Liu He knew it was bad!
But it's too late now.
In order to destroy Song Mao's camp, they rushed into the valley.
Now there are slopes on all sides. If you want to evacuate, you have to climb the slope.
The hillside was full of people from Song Mao, and they started to shoot arrows directly from the top.
"Charge! Everyone charge this way! Come on for me!"
Liu He yelled crazily, but not even half of the people could listen to his command at this time!
"Puff puff!"
Arrows rained down, and more and more people were hit by arrows.
The wounded fell on the road, again hindering the climb.
"Quick! Charge forward! If we charge forward we can survive!"
Liu He gathered his close followers together, who had played bronze drums and Yuzhang with him and had rich combat experience.
Under their protection and stepping on the corpses of his companions, Liu He finally escaped to the top of the slope.
"Hmph! They're not the brother and sister of the gang leader Liu, but it's not bad to kill a small fish!"
On the hillside, Song Mao and Zhou Kai stood side by side.
They were waiting for Liu He to rush up and kill him.
After climbing the slope for a long time, Liu He had exhausted a lot of energy. When he saw Song Mao and others waiting there, he was so scared that his eyes were splitting with fear.
"Kill!" Song Mao immediately gave the order without giving them a chance to breathe.
The soldiers rushed over and attacked Liu He and others.
…
Liu He is not dead.
He escaped under the protection of the elite around him.
But there were only three people left around him.
Of the 1,560 people who climbed the hillside with him, only three survived.
And everyone was injured.
When I was about to collapse, Xiangxiang finally appeared in my field of vision.
"It's... on fire?" Liu He was stunned. Was Xiangxiang also on fire?
In a daze, several young men ran past him.
His image was similar to that of a refugee, and those boys didn't even look at him.
When he returned to Xiangxiang, Liu Jinpeng was also very worried. He didn't know what happened today, and several places were on fire.
Many houses were burned down, and half a warehouse of food was burned down.
As soon as he put out the fire, he saw Liu He stumbling back.
"Ah He! What's going on!"
Liu Jinpeng was furious. He didn't expect that the remnants of Song Mao's army would grow to four to five thousand people.
If they are allowed to continue to develop, there will be tens of thousands of people!
Liu Jinpeng immediately ordered the mobilization of a large army and marched into the mountains to collect the troops.
But his journey was destined to be in vain.
Song Mao and the others couldn't wait for others to pay.
After defeating Liu He's men, Song Mao led his men out of the mountains to the south.
On the small road heading south, Yao Jin was waiting anxiously.
Standing next to him was a girl with a ponytail and a tanned face, but some white could be seen on her neck.
She Song Ning, Song Tong's daughter, is only seventeen years old.
Now he is the manager of the family camp.
Her brother wanted to ambush the thieves, so she took the order and led her family camp southward.
"There's a fire on the mountain, brother's plan should be implemented!" Looking at the thick smoke on the northern mountain, Song Ning's face was full of worry.
"Young Master will be fine!" Yao Jin said in a deep voice.
The family camp is still moving slowly.
They are not strong and their movement speed is not fast.
Song Ning has been out with people for a long time.
"Yes! Brother will be fine! Let's go! Let's keep walking! They will catch up!"
A trace of determination flashed in Song Ning's eyes, and she looked back at the long family camp, where the old, weak, women and children were stumbling.
She knew she had to go, no matter whether her brother won or lost.
She wanted to send these people to a safe place.
An hour later, Yao Jin suddenly shouted with a message: "Princess, look! The young master is back!"
Song Ning has a title called Princess Huimin.
Song Tong had four sons and only one daughter, so he was particularly close to his daughter and specially gave her the title of princess.
Among the sons, only the eldest son has received the title of crown prince, and the other three have not yet been named.
"elder brother!"
"Ning'er!"
Song Mao led the team out of the mountains and rushed for an hour to catch up with the family camp.
From a distance, I saw Yao Jin turning his head three times.
Then I saw Song Ning running over.
The two brothers and sisters reunited safely!
"Brother, how are you? Are you injured?" Song Ning circled around Song Mao.
There were blood stains on Song Mao's body, but there were no damages or wounds.
"Don't worry, it's the thief's blood!" Song Mao smiled and touched Song Ning's hair.
"Let's go. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. The thief will definitely send an army to chase him after he recovers." Song Yang patted his sister on the shoulder.
"Yeah! Let's go! Let's go now!" Song Ning nodded heavily.
The large group is marching, and half of them are old, weak, women and children. It will be good to reach Xiangtan in two or three days.
Xiangtan in this era was in Hengzhou, dozens of miles east of Hengshan Mountain.
Song Mao wanted to take people to Xiangtan, and heard from the people that there was a garrison in Hengzhou there.
Three days later, Liu Jinpeng gathered 10,000 troops and rushed into the mountains, leaving behind only a mess and fallen bodies.
Not even half of Song Mao's remnants were seen.
"Damn it! Chase me! We must find them!"
"Chase me!"
Liu Jinpeng yelled crazily.
Liu He suffered heavy casualties in one battle. He went out with five thousand soldiers but came back with not even one thousand.
It was a huge blow to Liu Jinpeng's strength.
Most of these five thousand are his own cronies.
And the two thousand newly trained recruits.
As a result, everything was lost here.
As a result, it will be more difficult to subdue the thorny men under his command.
