Chapter Ninety-seven Chaotic War

"Quick, hurry up..."

Zuo Mengeng was so frightened that he wanted to leave. Fortunately, a deputy general stopped him and shouted urgently: "Young Marshal, you can't leave. Quickly order a formation to defend!"

Zuo Mengeng had already run out of ideas and just said: "Yes, yes, yes, quickly form a formation and defend quickly!"

The deputy general conveyed the order and said, "Don't panic, young commander. As long as you hold steady for a while, Commander Zuo will come to take over."

As soon as Zuo Mengeng heard about his father, he immediately felt at ease. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, my father has support! Quick, defend, defend!"

The lieutenant general secretly sighed and hurriedly came down personally to command the battle.

But in just a moment, Zuo Menggeng's 15,000-strong army had already been defeated. As the order to form a defensive formation was issued, the officers and soldiers got the exact direction of action, and then they gradually became more stable.

But the incoming flow thieves are fierce and tight - in fact, most of the flow thieves are in one wave. If it can be blocked, there is nothing the rogue can do. But if it can't be stopped, it will be a disaster.

Zuo Mengeng's troops were in panic. Although they began to form formations and fight back, they were hasty on the one hand and fierce on the other. Hao Yaoqi personally led two thousand old battalions to tear apart the defensive formation of Zuo Menggeng's troops, and cut off Zuo Menggeng's troops at the waist. In just one cup of tea, Zuo Menggeng's troops showed signs of decline.

Zuo Mengeng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but after all, he was behind the gate. He glanced at the dozens of carriages, suddenly his heart changed, he raised his sword and killed a scurrying soldier, and shouted: "Give me the fire gun hand." The boss fights back!"

Then he said: "All the servants, follow me!"

He was on horseback, looking far away and saw Hao Yaoqi's two thousand old thieves wreaking havoc. He knew that if he could not stop this force, only defeat would be waiting for him. If you can't persist, I'm afraid you won't even be able to wait for Zuo Liangyu's response.

He quickly gathered his servants, there were 2,000 of them. With his heart in mind, he led these 2,000 well-equipped servants to attack Hao Yaoqi's old camp.

...

At this time, three thousand soldiers and horses had gathered outside the Baihe River Valley.

After Zuo Menggeng's troops took away the wooden box, Ying Yi immediately mobilized his troops and horses from the mountain.

At the same time, Ye Buqi's eyes were always on Zuo Mengeng's troops, keeping abreast of the battle situation.

One night I didn't receive the report: "The officers and soldiers were intercepted and killed by bandits four miles away."

Ying Yi laughed: "Okay, let's explore again."

After sending Ye Ye away without taking it back, Ying Yi said to Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun, "Let's get going."

The three thousand soldiers and horses stopped and slowly approached the battlefield.

Not a mile later, another night came to report: "The thieves are fierce, and the officers and soldiers are already showing signs of decline."

Ying Yi was startled: "So fast?!"

He waved his hand to stop the army and muttered: "Let's see first and then talk."

At this time, we were three miles away from the battlefield.

After a while, another report came from Ye Bu: "The officers and soldiers attacked the thieves with their elite troops and temporarily stabilized the situation, but the rogue thieves still have the upper hand."

Hearing this, Ying Yi exhaled: "It's okay, it's okay."

He was afraid that the army would collapse at the first touch. If it collapses too quickly, it will fail to achieve the goal of gathering all the troops and horses. He needed Zuo Mengeng to tangle with the bandits, thereby attracting Zuo Liangyu, and then attracting the remaining bandits.

Only then can we catch them all in one go.

"'Two million taels of silver' is in Zuo Mengeng's hands. Zuo Mengeng was intercepted. Zuo Liangyu can't sit still. His son is here, and the silver is here, ha..." Ying Yi said to the left and right Said: "If Zuo Liangyu makes a move, the remaining thieves will not just watch. The muddier the water, the better. You can catch big fish in muddy water."

Ying Yi let the soldiers and horses die, and all the soldiers sat down on the spot. Except for a few horses that occasionally snorted, the only sounds left in his ears were the shouts of killing three miles away.

Not long after, another night report came: "A large number of officers and soldiers are approaching the battlefield."

Ying Yi smiled: "Zuo Liangyu is here."

Zuo Liangyu is indeed here.

He was furious.

When Zuo Liangyu reached middle age, she only had one son, Zuo Mengeng. Therefore, Zuo Liangyu was consciously cultivating Zuo Mengeng. Zuo Menggeng was asked to lead the army this time, firstly because the money was important and the people closest to him were needed. Secondly, I also have the idea of ​​cultivating Zuo Mengeng.

But he didn't expect that his son would be such a waste.

——Zuo Liangyu doesn’t even think about what he usually does—what else can he do besides running? Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice's sons can dig holes. This is vividly reflected in Zuo Liangyu. His son sees what he does and will definitely do the same when something happens.

People often don't know it. Zuo Liangyu is so majestic that he thinks that he has really become the jade pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

Zuo Liangyu couldn't sit still after hearing the battle situation that Ye Butu brought back.

He only has one son, and the two million taels of silver are also there. What else can he do now?

He originally thought that Zuo Mengeng's 15,000-strong army was quite large. As long as he could hold on even slightly and draw out both groups of thieves, and he suddenly struck with a thunderous strike, not only would he get money, but he would also be able to immediately He achieved tremendous military exploits and killed two birds with one stone, but the bad thing was that his son was a fool.

Zuo Mengeng led two thousand servants to fight with Hao Yaoqi's two thousand old camp, temporarily stabilizing the situation. However, the blood in Zuo Menggen's heart did not last long. Once the blood dissipated, he became afraid.

As soon as he flinched, the servants lost their killing power. Hao Yaoqi, an old soldier, saw the flaw and roared and attacked fiercely. Zuo Menggeng could no longer persist and retreated in defeat.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and once the elite servants were defeated, the whole war situation began to take a turn for the worse.

Zuo Mengeng suddenly despaired, but he was still thinking about the silver at this time and shouted: "Quick, go quickly, take the silver with you!"

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu's 20,000-strong army arrived.

Although Zuo Liangyu was running from the left, he was still good at directing battles. Without saying a word, he led his troops and charged in with his servants as the vanguard.

Zuo Menggeng did not bring enough heavy firepower, but Zuo Liangyu's troops brought thirty cannons of various types. But now Hao Yaoqi's bandits and Zuo Menggeng's men were fighting in a mass, their teeth crisscrossed, heavy firepower I dare not use it.

What if his son is shot to death among the rebels?

As soon as Zuo Liangyu's troops entered the battle formation, they shouted loudly to distinguish ourselves from the enemy and at the same time frightened the thieves.

With the shouting, Liu Thief was really frightened, and Hao Yaoqi hesitated for a while. He only had more than 10,000 troops, which was less than Zuo Mengeng. A surprise attack on Zuo Mengeng was okay, but now that Zuo Liangyu had added another 20,000 troops to join the battle, he began to feel shaken.

To withdraw or not to withdraw?

But where is the time for him to think?

As soon as Zuo Liangyu's fresh troops came in, they were overwhelmed and defeated, killing the traitors one after another. Zuo Mengeng should have been desperate, but he was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly commanded the army to join Zuo Liangyu.

The sound of fighting was shaking the sky and the earth. Hao Yaoqi's bandits could not hold on, but a series of cannons were fired. Dozens of artillery shells flew from nowhere in the dark night, creating ravines of flesh and blood in the chaos. .

Then, amidst the crackling sound of gunfire, dots of fireworks appeared one after another, and the banging of crossbows exploded the air. The entire battlefield was turned into a mess in the midst of this indiscriminate attack.

Liu Zongmin, here we are.
