The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 332 The Arrival of the Decisive Battle
"In short, sir, you should be more careful these days. People who lick blood with knife edge will only spare their lives after becoming famous, but in order to be famous, they will do anything!" Li Hu reminded Hao Jingcheng in a low voice.

In fact, Li Hu also heard that Hao Jingcheng was a master, but seeing his attire as a scholar, he didn't look like a martial arts master at all, so he looked a little worried.

Hao Jingcheng nodded, and Li Hu said again: "Other things are fine. After this battle, the enemies of the rebels have also come out. The Niujiazhuang heard that they wanted to catch two rebel leaders the night before. More than a hundred people were mobilized. It was heard that there were people chasing and killing rebel fugitives near Shangqiu. If they caught them, they would burn them to death. A pair of brothers among the leaders of the rebel army fled all the way to their hometown. If there is a grudge, the convener will surround and kill them on the road."

"Anyway, since the establishment of the rebel army, they have provoked many enemies, and there are also many who want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack and gain credit. This will reduce some of our pressure!" Li Biao said at this time.

"No matter what, Shen County is a frying pan anyway. This is the wall that everyone pushes. Once they see their bad luck, they will take revenge." Li Hu said with a smile.

"That's right, it's really miserable to mess with Big Brother Hao..." Li Biao also said obediently.

Beside the carriage, a few people talked about these things in Jianghu and laughed heartlessly.

At the same time, in a tent that was set up on a foothill not too far from here, Xi Maijun was trembling when he heard the news that Xi Zuo had reported back. It's completely different.

In the next few days, the situation of the rebel army changed suddenly.

At the same time, the green forest turmoil caused by the defeat of the rebel army was still spreading bit by bit.

The army on the side of the carriage broke out of camp and set off. It was time for the final battle with the rebels, and everything was encircled.

After the day passed, it was just dawn, and groups of figures were marching among the dark mountains.Across the foot of the mountain, the wind is blowing, and the scenery stretches out in front of the eyes. A small river winds through the valley below the field of vision, and the sparsely spotted lights form the outline of a small county town.

"Brother Zheng." Someone came up next to him, and it was Xi Maijun. He looked a little haggard at this moment, and it could be seen that these days were really a torment for him. .

"It's finally here. After so long, they must never have imagined..." the murderer Zheng Xiu whispered.

When the wind blew through the mountains and the sky was slightly white with fish belly, the cool white mist lingered in the air. Someone outside the small county town went out to fetch water. On the road, a group of business travelers of more than ten people came here, passing the city gate. , was questioned.

A moment later, on the city tower of the small county, someone suddenly warned him. At the city gate, the merchants suddenly drew their swords, and blood splashed in the early morning fog.

After leading the officers and soldiers around for a few days, the rebels shot a feint and turned to the east, taking Fengxian County with only about 6000 residents. Under the slogan of avenging their brothers, they killed hundreds of people in the county. Finally, he lit a fire and fled to the north of the city.

With the entire strategic situation in the military state constantly tightening, the operation at the tactical level successfully gave the local officers and soldiers, Hao Jingcheng and others a sharp blow.

The rebels may not dare to slaughter a county, but for the government, this is also a deterrent gesture that cannot be ignored.

The next day, all the rebels appeared outside Ping County. They probably felt that the price of capturing the county was too high, and then left with a feint shot. These two gestures successfully pinned down the troops at several points near the local government army. .

And taking advantage of the hesitation of the local officers and soldiers at this moment, more than 3000 people turned around decisively, crossed mountains and ridges, and rushed towards their ultimate goal on this night!

The decisive battle is coming.

The crowd passed through the mountains and ridges quickly and silently, and they stopped in the sparse woods in the mountains just as the sun was setting.Camping for a short time, the atmosphere is chilling.

The murderer Zheng Xiu sat by the stone under the tree, started to eat dry food with clear water, and looked at the sky and the surrounding terrain.Beside, the subordinates gathered around, eating and whispering, some were wiping their weapons, but no one made much noise.

This time, not many people were clearly told where to go, but in fact, a strange and chilling atmosphere has enveloped the entire team with the abnormal actions of the past two days.In the whispers of people, everyone is mentally prepared, and the above is ready to take advantage of the current situation.

People are not ruthless, and they cannot stand firmly.Among the current ranks of the rebels, there are many people who are willing to risk their lives, especially the actions in the past few days, the purpose is clear, and the transition is clean and neat, so that everyone has regained the pride of the rebels.

While many things are opaque these days, there are signals from above that things are going well.

Take the county seat and drag the officers and soldiers around, making them clumsy.During this period, what the "big fight" is doing is secondary.

In short, the attitude of "If you are not afraid, we will be more ruthless", as well as the accuracy and efficiency within a few days have boosted morale, making people faintly feel that a big battle is coming.

As for what it is, even the murderer Zheng Xiu is not very clear at this time.

After leaving Ping County, Li Lei and others led the team and ran quickly with a clear purpose. It was originally estimated that they were going to take down He County, which was empty of military defenses, or even disrupt the pace of the local officials and troops and enter the state city. Take a risky gamble, but halfway, the route is faintly wrong.

As a leader, he can always get something from other people's catchphrases. Occasionally, some people in the team are familiar with the surrounding terrain and mention the place they passed by.

The murderer Zheng Xiu drew a picture in his mind, trying to piece together the impression of the surroundings. A leader came over and greeted him softly. He responded a few words, and suddenly a thought arose in his heart.

He turned his head and looked in the direction where Li Lei, Xi Maijun and others might be. Although the shadows of the trees were sparse, there were still people there.According to the rules at this time, everyone consciously kept the people under their command gathered together, except for occasional contact, they would not wander around.

"We are here now, only two ridges away from Jiangjun Ridge, and we can't start a fire. Fortunately, everyone has felt this to some extent, and we have mentally prepared. The victory or defeat will depend on this time..." Under the tree , Li Lei, Xi Maijun and the others held a small map and spoke softly.

"I thought too much at first, and when they can't react, this kind of thing can only be resolved quickly..."
