963 Empty City
"Is this gone?"

Hu Cheng watched the enemies retreating and patted the city wall angrily. He was still waiting to kill everyone after dark.

"Brother Hu Cheng, these caltrop fireballs, poison gas bombs, and smoke bombs cannot be used tonight!"

Wu Yong said with a smile, the city walls were already lined with various bombs, including caltrop fireballs filled with caltrops, gas bombs and smoke bombs that emitted poisonous smoke and poisonous gas.

"These enemies are so cunning. I thought they would come to attack the city. There are also venom bombs here, which are guaranteed to make them happy!"

Hu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, this venom bomb was specially made by him, specially used in city defense battles. The venom is made of half a catty of wolfsbane, half a catty of aconite, half a catty of croton, half a catty of saponin, half a catty of arsenic, and half arsenic. Jin, put it into a wok, boil it, and put it into a thin earthen pot.

Finally, gunpowder is placed around the jar. Once it explodes, the juice will splash and penetrate the iron armor. The wound will become a sore and fester, which is extremely difficult to heal.

"If we have a chance, let's go to Huhe Town!"

Wu Yong said with a smile that they did not have to stop the enemy in Linpu County. What they had to do was to shoot and change places.

"Are you giving up on Linpu County?"

Li Ying asked with a frown. They killed four enemy generals in a row this morning, and the artillery bombardment in the afternoon also failed. There is no need to abandon Linpu County at this time. According to today's fighting style, they can defend it for at least three days.

"Brother Sun Lei's order is to let us fight and retreat. We can give up Linpu County, Huhe Town, and Leize County. What we really want to defend is Hecai Town!"

Wu Yong didn't hide anything and just revealed everything.

"Fight and retreat? We don't need to, right?"

Li Ying was very puzzled. Although Sun Lei and others were not here, Liangshan's strength was not afraid of [-] enemies.

"Brother must have other plans, let's just act according to the plan!"

Wu Yong shook his head. He didn't understand why Sun Lei suddenly showed weakness. In the past, Sun Lei had to fight for every inch of territory, but these were not things they should consider.

"Order the entire army to withdraw from Linpu County and go to Huhe Town!"

Wu Yong ordered to the soldiers, Sun Li retreated and set up camp, and he just had time to retreat.

The people in Linpu County had already evacuated. Now that Liangshan's army has withdrawn, the entire Linpu County has become an empty city.

"Xuetu Wu, it seems that the enemy didn't even send any scouts!"

Xiao Rang looked at Wu Yong and said, it was quiet outside the city, and no enemy scouts were found.

"It's probably to prevent us from sneak attacks, but it's a pity that I'm not interested in their camp!"

Wu Yong said, he knew very well how many pounds he had. On the enemy side were Sun Li, Luan Tingyu, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, and Dong Ping. They were all highly skilled in martial arts. They couldn't stop them. Go To attack the camp would be to die.

Early the next morning, Sun Li led the army to the outside of Linpu County. Last night he ordered the army to guard against night attacks. Liangshan was very good at night attacks.

It's a pity that the enemy did not come after a night of strict defense, but Sun Li didn't care. It was a good thing that the camp was not attacked. The fewer changes in war, the better.

"Why so quiet?"

Luan Tingyu frowned and looked at Linpu County. Linpu County was extremely quiet today, and there were no flags on the city walls.

"Could it be a plan to create an empty city?"

Song Jiang opened his mouth and said, Wu Yongna is very cunning, and unlike ordinary people, he often comes up with strange tricks.

"Empty city plan?"

When they heard these three words, everyone was heartbroken, saying that it was an empty city plan. Who knew whether it was true or false?If an ambush had been set up in the city, entering now would mean death.

"If Sun Lei were here, I would still be afraid of him. What's so scary about Wu Yong's empty city plan?"

Sun Li said disdainfully, it depends on who is behind the empty city plan, Wu Yong obviously does not have the qualifications.

"The army is attacking the city!"

Sun Li gave an order, the war drums sounded loudly, and the shouting soldiers carried the ladders and rushed towards Linpu County.

"If Li Ying goes to fight again yesterday, go and fight him!" Sun Li looked at Luan Tingyu and said. Yesterday, Li Ying showed off his power and killed three people in a row. He must not be allowed to continue today.

"Okay, I didn't expect Li Ying to hide so deeply!"

Luan Tingyu said, after returning yesterday, he found out that it was Li Ying who killed Jiang Zhong, Yan Shun, and Zheng Tianshou, which surprised him. When he was in Dulong Mountain before, Li Ying was as unobtrusive as a member of the Communist Party of China. Tinkering with money and goods.

"General, there's no one in the city!"

The soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city shouted loudly that there was no ambush in the city as they were worried about, and the whole city was empty.

"no one?"

Sun Li and others all frowned. They thought of many possibilities, but they didn't expect that there was no one in the city.

"Did the enemy escape?"

Song Jiang said uncertainly, this is not like Liang Shanbo's style.

"These guys are as timid as rats. They must be afraid of our artillery!"

Kong Ming, Kong Liang and others laughed. Yesterday's artillery bombardment was so powerful that it must have frightened the enemy.

These words resonated instantly, and a group of people laughed and celebrated.

"Enter the city!"

Sun Li ignored these people and entered the city with his army.

After some searching, they found that Linpu County was already an empty city. Not to mention no one, not even a dog could be found.

"Liangshan moved all the people away?"

Luan Tingyu frowned and said, if only the Liangshan army had left, it could still be understood as retreating in order to advance, and there would be no ambush in front.

But if the entire city is moved away, it will be necessary to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. This cost is very high, and it will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Command, pursue!"

Upon seeing this, Sun Li directly gave the order. Liangshan had obviously been prepared for doing this. In this case, he just cooperated.

"General Sun, we have detected that the enemy is heading to Huhe Town!"

Song Jiang reported to Sun Li.

"Huhe Town? It is indeed the only way to retreat, but it is the middle of winter and the Huhe River has long been frozen!"

Sun Li said, the Huzi River is also a big river in Puzhou. It starts from the Yellow River, goes north to Jishui, and goes south to Liangshan and enters Si River. It is one of the barriers to Liangshan. Unfortunately, it is the middle of winter and the river is frozen. There is nothing to defend against anymore.

"General Sun, I will lead the vanguard to pursue him!"

As a native of Jeju, Song Jiang naturally knows the geographical location of Huhe Town. If he wants to reach Liangshan Park, he must pass through Huhe Town. Huhe Town does not need a city wall in the county. There is no way to defend it.

"Well, we must pursue the enemy and know the enemy's intentions."

Sun Li nodded. He had to transport artillery, trebuchets and other baggage, so he couldn't pursue the enemy.

"Yes!"

Song Jiang and others were overjoyed. If they chase him now, they will beat him up.

"kill!"

Dong Ping, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Dai Zong, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Deng Long, Li Li, Shi En, Han Bolong, Shi Yong, Bai Sheng and others roared and charged away with their soldiers.

Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo frowned and said nothing. They felt that things were not that simple.

Xue Yong, Hou Jian, and Li Zhong also didn't go. They didn't want to fight with Liangshan, but now they were coerced and hampered by military orders, so they could only find ways to avoid the battle.
