Chapter 566 The Great Harvest

The rout soldiers rushed directly to the front of the bow and arrow formation. Seeing the archers in the formation, one by one, as if they had seen a savior, they walked into the formation.

The bow and arrow array, which was originally neatly arrayed, instantly became chaotic.

"kill!"

Lu Zhishen saw that the bow and arrow array was in disarray, he shouted, and rushed forward with his soldiers.

"Shoot! Shoot!"

Hu Yanzhuo roared and ordered, at this time, it is impossible to control the chaos of the army, only half of the two thousand archers can shoot and block the enemy.

There was an irregular sound of bowstrings, and the arrows shot in the direction of Liangshan's army.

It's a pity that Lu Zhishen didn't approach, and just waved the flag and shouted outside the range of the bow and crossbow.

"No, the enemy is coming!"

Guan Sheng was approaching the bow and arrow formation, and when he looked up, he saw cavalry rushing from a distance.

"What enemy!"

Hu Yanzhuo looked at Guan Sheng puzzled. He kept staring at Lu Zhishen, and the enemy didn't approach at all.

"Back! Back! Cavalry!"

Dong Ping pointed behind Hu Yanzhuo and shouted.

Hu Yanzhuo looked back and broke out in a cold sweat. He saw that the cavalry who had besieged the Chinese army just now were rushing towards them.

"No, their target is the archer!"

Hu Yanzhuo also understood at this time that he had been fooled, all of this was a trap for the enemy, and they were fooled around.

"Turn around and shoot!"

Hu Yanzhuo yelled at the archers beside him.

It's a pity that everything was too late, the speed of the Qingqi had already increased, and the archers had only turned around before the cavalry rushed to the front and rushed directly into the formation.

"kill!"

Seeing that the cavalry had attracted the attention of the enemy, Lu Zhi greeted everyone and rushed up.

Two flanks attacked, and they had already entered the formation. The archers were useless, and thousands of people had to run away with their heads in their arms.

"Run!"

Dong Ping yelled, and fled towards the Chinese army on horseback.

Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo didn't struggle any more when they saw that the defeat was set, they each found their own way to break out of the encirclement.

The Liangshan army did not encircle and suppress the enemy, but instead defeated them interspersed, as if they only wanted to disperse the enemy.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Song Jiang saw that the bow and arrow array that he relied on had been surrounded by the enemy, and he didn't care much. He immediately ordered to retreat, and he had no intention of rescuing the forward troops. He had to ensure the safety of Cai Tao, which was the guarantee of their prosperity and wealth.

As Song Jiang's order to retreat was issued, his soldiers and minions were completely confused and fled back desperately.

"Don't worry about the remnants, catch all these archers!"

Sun Lei shouted to everyone, although it is good to wipe out Song Jiang now, but Song Jiang and others are far behind the two thousand god-armed bows. The military law of the Great Song Dynasty stipulates that the bows and crossbows must be destroyed before surrendering or being captured. Give them this time.

The army began to quell the battle and arrest those archers. Although the imperial army and the Erlongshan minions were mixed together, it was easy to distinguish them. The imperial army all wore standard armor, while the Erlongshan minions wore coarse cloth uniforms and animal skins.

"Lin Chong is here, and he will be captured without a fight!"

Lin Chong glared angrily, and shouted angrily at the imperial guards who were still stubbornly resisting.

As the former coach of the 80 imperial army, Lin Chong still has some prestige among the imperial army. Almost all the recruits of the imperial army have been trained by him or have heard the name of his leopard head Lin Chong.

Lin Chong's shout instantly stunned the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. Without the command, they didn't pay attention. They didn't know what to do at the moment.

"Those who surrender live, those who resist die."

Yang Zhi roared.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army no longer had the intention of resisting, and surrendered one after another.

"Quick, put away the god arm bow!"

Seeing the surrender of the soldiers, Lin Chong immediately said to the crowd that these magic arm bows were the biggest gain of this battle.

Most of the current bows and crossbows in Liangshan are made by folk craftsmen, and the accuracy and range are not good due to poor skills. The magic arm bows of these forbidden soldiers are different. They are all made by government craftsmen with the best materials and the most exquisite skills. Can be regarded as priceless.

Half an hour later, the battlefield was completely controlled, and the minions of Erlong Mountain fled in all directions, many of them fled to the forests and fields.

"Brother, run away!"

Li Kui pointed to the fleeing enemy and said.

"Forget it, I can't catch up."

Sun Lei shook his head and said, Song Jiang was fleeing in the mountains, and it was impossible for his cavalry to enter the mountains. If the infantry pursued them, they might not be able to catch up to Erlong Mountain, and the prisoners on the battlefield also needed to Dealing with it, there are really not many people to chase after.

"Brother, there are more than 500 intact bows and more than 6 arrows! There are more than 2000 pairs of armor from the Imperial Army, [-] archers from the Imperial Army, and [-] other prisoners."

Wen Huanzhang reported the spoils of this battle to Sun Lei.

"Not bad!"

Sun Lei is very satisfied with the result.

"The archers of the forbidden army were guarded individually, and Lin Chong, Hua Rong, and Pang Wanchun were responsible for escorting these prisoners."

Sun Lei looked at the three of Lin Chong and said, the value of these two thousand archers is no less than that of the God Arm Bow. It would take time, effort and money to train two thousand skilled archers, but now it is a big gift package.

Escorting [-] captives is also a troublesome thing. Captives are far more troublesome than killing the enemy. Killing the enemy in battle will be over when you see the enemy beheading them.

"Not only did we win Anshan Town and Dulong Mountain this time, but we also received such a big gift, which is worth celebrating!"

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and said.

Seeing that it was getting late, Sun Lei brought everyone and prisoners to the military camp at the foot of Dulong Mountain.

"Sun Yingxiong, but he is back!"

Li Ying and Hu Cheng even brought people to wait at the gate of the barracks.

"Why are you two so idle? Is Zhujiazhuang taken?"

Sun Lei looked at Li Ying and Hu Cheng and asked.

"Sun Yingxiong, then Zhu Long ran away with someone! It was the secret road of the Zhu family! We didn't catch up!"

Hu Cheng was a little apprehensive, because he saw that the captives brought back by Sun Lei numbered in the thousands.

"This is a big victory, with so many prisoners captured, and so much luggage! Why do these people look like regular soldiers!"

Hu Cheng and Li Ying looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They remembered that Sun Lei was going to fight Song Jiang in Erlong Mountain. Why were all the elite officers and soldiers captured?
"Run away? Didn't you ask you to surround Zhujiazhuang?"

Sun Lei's voice turned cold, he couldn't do such a small thing well, the two of them were really slack.

"Sun Yingxiong, we really surrounded the Zhujiazhuang, but there is still a tunnel in the Zhujiazhuang. We didn't find him running away until we entered the Zhujiazhuang."

Li Ying quickly explained.

"Authentic? How many people left?"

Sun Lei looked at Li Ying and asked, if it's the bottom line, then it's really no wonder they are, the Zhu family has been in business for so many years, there must be some means to save their lives.

"Only more than 100 cronies were taken away, and all the treasures of Zhu's family were taken away."

Hu Cheng said.

"Take away the treasure? You really did a good job, watching Zhu Long take my treasure away!"

Sun Lei looked at Li Ying and Hu Cheng with an unkind expression. Zhu's family must have a lot of wealth, and this is not a big loss.

"Sun Yingxiong, we are willing to compensate for the loss!"

Li Ying and Hu Cheng said with a little fear, now that Sun Lei came back with a big victory, if he got angry, he might take them to sacrifice the flag.
