In the Hall of Righteousness.
Xu Fengwu's face was filled with joy as he said,""This battle was beautifully fought. One battalion of 500 prefectural soldiers, 317 captured and 183 killed, greatly increasing the morale of our Mount Liang.”
The soldiers captured in this battle were either uninjured or lightly injured. A few of them were seriously injured. Xu Fengwu had already ordered them to be treated properly.
Only those who were very serious were killed by the minions on the spot.
Xu Fengwu looked at everyone present and smiled.""This time, Brother Liu Tang killed the commander.”
"Thank you, big brother!" Liu Tang said happily.
Xu Fengwu waved his hand and said," The Ruan brothers, Yang Lin, Yuan Zhongliang, and the other brothers have done well in ambushing the government troops. They will each be given a credit. After we beat the government troops back, we will reward them accordingly."”
"Thank you, big brother!" Everyone shouted in unison.
Lu Zhishen touched his big bald head and said,"You guys killed to your heart's content. I stood on the shore and could only watch. I must go to the next battle.”
"Master Lu is right. Brother can't let us just watch." Shan Shiqi chimed in.”
Xu Fengwu smiled." Don't worry. There are still five battalions of government troops by the lake. They are definitely enough for you to kill."”
As everyone was talking, Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly walked in from outside and shouted,""Brother, I'm back."
Seeing that he was drenched, Xu Fengwu asked,""How did it go? How did the soldiers react?"
Ruan Xiaoqi laughed and said,"What reaction could there be?" When they saw the commander's head, they were all stunned. The bird capital supervisor was so angry that his face turned black.”
Du Qian smiled." The government army lost a battalion and a commander. Of course, Governor Chen will be angry."”
Lu Zhishen said disdainfully," This Bird Capital Supervisor is really an idiot. If it were me, I would have attacked with the whole army. I wouldn't be afraid even if there were ambushes along the way." Asking a battalion of soldiers to scout the way, wasn't this asking people to die?”
"What Master said makes sense!"
Xu Fengwu nodded. If Chen Yinglong's 3,000-strong army charged in together, the ambush would be useless. After all, Liangshan's equipment was relatively poor.
Under such circumstances, an ambush could very well turn into a suicide mission.
At that time, Xu Fengwu could only block the waterway and temporarily block the government troops. Then, he could use the three passes to resist the enemy.
Although Xu Fengwu had his own way, he could hold off the enemy outside the door, so there was no need to let him in.
"Brother, what should we do next?" Du Qian asked.”
Xu Fengwu pondered for a moment, then said to Song Wan," Song Wan, pick a hundred people. I asked Tang Long to forge dozens of large saws. Get someone to take these saws and go down the mountain at midnight tonight…"
……
In the government army camp.
Chen Yinglong had suffered a defeat and lost a battalion of soldiers. He was also mocked by Ruan Xiaoqi, so he was holding back his anger.
However, after he calmed down, he realized that he had made a big mistake. He should not have let Commander Wu lead a battalion of soldiers into the lake alone.
Liangshan Lake was crisscrossed with many ports, and the paths were very complicated. Moreover, the water was undulating and the depth was unknown. The bandits might have set up an ambush. If they rashly entered, they would suffer a great loss.
This was the most dangerous place in Liangshan Lake!
But the problem was that Chen Yinglong had 3,000 soldiers and horses. As far as he knew, there were only 1,000 or 2,000 bandits on Liangshan. Even if there was an ambush in the reed marsh, how many people could be ambushed?
Could it be that the bandit had pulled everyone out to set up an ambush?
Chen Yinglong was extremely vexed. He should have realized this earlier. He had gathered all his soldiers and charged into the lake in one go. So what if there was an ambush?
Chen Yinglong's two battalions of Imperial Army soldiers were well-equipped. Other than two hundred sets of armor, they also had a hundred Divine Arm Bows. They would definitely crush those Liangshan bandits.
The Godly Bow could even pierce through the iron sparrows of the Xixia people. Could it be that the bandits in this lake were more powerful than the iron sparrows of the Xixia people?
Chen Yinglong made a decision at this thought. He ordered the commanders to reorganize their forces and attack the lake tomorrow.
"When we break into the thief's nest, I will personally chop off Xu Fengwu's head!”Chen Yinglong thought fiercely.
Time quickly entered the night. The bright moon in the night sky indicated that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming.
At midnight, Song Wan led a hundred men, carrying large saws and torches, and left Golden Sands Beach.
Not long after, Shan Shiqi, Yuan Zhongliang, and Yun Zongwu also led a battalion of second-class soldiers towards the camp.
On the Golden Sand Beach, Xu Fengwu was already wearing armor. There were four battalions of soldiers around him, and the second class soldiers of the first battalion and the others were guarding the stronghold.
Xu Fengwu was not in a hurry to set off. Instead, he let his lackeys rest.
On the other side, Shan Shiqi and the other two had led a battalion of 300 men to the northern stronghold.
It was already midnight. Other than the night patrols, everyone else in the camp was already asleep. The bright moon in the sky made it easier for Shan Shiqi and the others to move around.
Shan Shiqi sent out 100 soldiers and told Yun Zongwu to go to the west village while he and Yuan Zhongliang stayed in the north village.
When the time was almost up, Shan Shiqi shouted," Attack!" and the 200 men pounced on the wall.
Clang! Clang!
Not long after, the patrolling soldiers discovered Shan Shiqi and the others.
In an instant, the sound of drums and gongs in the Song camp began to beat.
Fortunately, Chen Yinglong was careful. He remembered that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, and this bright moon was the best help for a night raid.
Thus, before Chen Yinglong went to sleep, he ordered his soldiers to be on high alert at night.
At this moment, without any orders from the higher-ups, the sound of gongs and drums soon resounded throughout the north camp.
The sleeping Imperial Army soldiers were woken up by the sound of drums and gongs, and all of them scrambled to their feet.
Looking around, the entire camp was in a mess.
This was the result of a lack of training and poor manners.
It was fine during the day, but at night, the soldiers 'ability to deal with sudden situations was pitifully low.
Chen Yinglong was already asleep, but he was awakened by his guards. He heard movement outside the camp, so he immediately jumped up, put on his armor, and rushed out.
Outside, Chen Yinglong heard the shouts from the north village.
Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the commotion in the north stockade, chaos broke out in the west stockade. It was Yun Zongwu who had led his men into action.
All of a sudden, the government army camp was filled with gongs and drums, banners, shouts, and curses.
"The bandits are so rampant. Do they not put the capital superintendent in their eyes?”Chen Yinglong cursed. He immediately ordered his men to gather their troops and split them into two groups to provide support.
This time, he would personally chop off a few heads.
However, when the soldiers and horses were gathered, the North and West Strongholds stopped fighting.
Chen Yinglong was surprised. He didn't move. After a while, people from the west and north reported that the bandits had retreated.
"Damn it!"
Chen Yinglong felt as if he had punched cotton. After cursing, he ordered the soldiers to remain on guard and returned to his tent.
Hearing this, the soldiers heaved a sigh of relief and went back to sleep.
After less than an hour, the sound of drums and gongs came from the west stockade, followed by the north stockade. The entire camp was once again in an uproar.
Chen Yinglong, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by his bodyguards again. Then, when he gathered his troops while cursing, the thieves outside the camp retreated again.
Chen Yinglong's face was dark, especially at night. He was like the bottom of a pot. He was so angry that he felt like a volcano was about to erupt at any moment.
