As time gradually came to two hours, the Liangshan army had already fallen asleep. The camp was silent. There were only a dozen guard posts patrolling the outside world. They had not had a good rest for two days of long-distance marching. The soldiers were sleepy, their legs were filled with lead, and they kept yawning, and they still kept their eyes open and stared at the surrounding wilderness.

In the northeast corner of Daying, two patrolmen were responsible for guarding. They were responsible for patrolling within three miles of Daying. Whenever any abnormal situation occurred, they would sound the horn in their hands to call the police. Perhaps because the two patrol soldiers were too tired, they privately agreed that they would each be guarding in the middle of the night. One patrol soldier hid under a rock and fell asleep quietly, while the other stood on the big rock and looked into the distance.

At this moment, a cold arrow shot to the throat, and the soldier clucked his throat twice, one fell from the big rock, and the other soldier was awakened. As soon as he leaned his head and looked around, more than a dozen arrows shot at him at the same time, he immediately shot him to death. After a moment, countless cavalry figures appeared in the northeast corner of the camp.

Li Yanqing stared at the camp for a moment and resolutely issued an order, "Strike!"

A thousand cavalry lit torches one after another, and from the starlight, it quickly formed a torch nebula. With the command of the commander, the cavalry suddenly launched the sound of horse hooves, and a thousand cavalry rushed toward the camp hundreds of steps away like a torrent of steel. At this time, other patrols discovered an abnormality and began to blew the alarm horn: 'Woo'

But it was no point in calling the police at this time. The cavalry crossed the shallow trench and entered the camp. The cavalry trained more than once torches at night, but in actual combat, they were not confused. Torches were thrown at the big tent, and the big tent was quickly ignited, the fire spread, and the entire camp became a sea of ​​fire.

The soldiers of Liangshan woke up in their sleep. Faced with the burning fire, they ran out of the tent in horror. Groups of unarmed people were ruthlessly massacred by the cavalry of Xuanwu Camp, slashed by swords and stabbed by spears, and teams of cavalry ran and killed in the camp. Even if they knelt on the ground, they could not escape the fate of death.

Yang Xiong tried to break through and escape with more than a dozen personal soldiers, but Wang Gui stared at him. He rushed to the horse, fifty steps away to shoot an arrow, and shot Yang Xiong in the back. Yang Xiong was not wearing armor in a hurry. The arrow hit him in the back. Yang Xiong screamed and fell from the horse.

Yang Xiong's personal soldiers were shocked and hurriedly wanted to carry the main general onto the war horse, but then a burst of arrows shot in. Five or six personal soldiers were shot down, and the war horses were also shot several arrows in a row, neighing, and running away with pain.

"Kill me!"

Wang Gui roared, and more than a hundred cavalrymen rushed up and killed more than a dozen personal soldiers. Seeing that he had nowhere to escape, Yang Xiong shouted, drew out his long sword, and stabbed Wang Gui who was rushing towards the wind.

Wang Gui waved a big sword weighing 60 kilograms and slashed towards him. In the past two years, Wang Gui has worked hard on sword techniques, and his sword skills have become more and more skillful. This sword is fierce and fierce.

He heard a loud "Dang!" which made Yang Xiong's arms numb, and his sword flew out of his hand. Yang Xiong was so shocked that he fell out. He endured the severe pain and got up and stumbled and ran away.

Wang Gui rushed past him, and saw a flash of cold light, and a head suddenly flew several feet away. Yang Xiong died tragically on the spot, becoming the first commander-in-chief of the Liangshan Army to be killed.

The fire in the military camp became increasingly large, and the cavalry quickly left the military camp. They rushed to the periphery and the infantry outside slaughtered the soldiers of the Liangshan Army together. This was an extremely tragic massacre. There was no suspense or mercy. All soldiers who escaped from the sea of ​​fire were killed and surrendered were not accepted.

Li Yanqing coldly watched the soldiers who were wielding their swords to kill the Liangshan soldiers who were running away, without any wavering in his heart. He needed to use iron and blood to build an army, and he was also building himself. Only in this way can they have the courage to face the Jurchen cavalry that came like jackals.

The fire in the military camp gradually extinguished and the war gradually ended. Three thousand Liangshan soldiers were almost killed. At this time, it was the fourth hour. Dutou Lu Fei led hundreds of soldiers to the east city of Liaocheng to call the door. After a long time, the city gate slowly opened.

Hundreds of soldiers held their shields and entered the city carefully. More than a dozen rural soldiers ran down the city and raised their hands and shouted: "The magistrate and the county magistrate have both run away, and there are no officials in the city."

Lu Fei waved his hand and the soldiers quickly controlled the East City Gate. Soon, Li Yanqing led other troops into the city.

I saw that the streets of Liaocheng were extremely quiet, and every household had turned off the lights, and the entire county was pitch black. But Li Yanqing could feel that many families were not asleep, but hid behind the door of the window and looked out secretly.

At this time, Lu Fei led two civil servants to report: "I reported to the commander, I went to the county government office, and the magistrate did run away, and only these two civil servants were found."

Two civil officials quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "We have nothing to do with the bandits in Liangshan, so I hope the general will spare my life!"

"Are all the officials in the county appointed by the Liangshan Army?" Li Yanqing asked the two.

One of them said tremblingly: "There are only two magistrates and county magistrates."

"Where is the county magistrate and chief clerk?" Li Yanqing asked.

"The county magistrate was killed by them, and the chief clerk Lin refused to do things for them. He had been dismissed from his post at home, and the state officials had already fled."

"Where is Lin Zhubu's home?"

"His family is... right in the city!"

Li Yanqing immediately said to Lu Fei: "Let this person lead the way. Please take a few brothers to invite the chief clerk to me, remember to be polite."

Lu Fei took a civil servant to the city, and Li Yanqing went to the city. His mission to attack Daming Mansion this time was not only to rescue Daming Mansion and relieve the danger of siege, but also to restore order in Daming Mansion and Bozhou.

At this time, Li Yanqing asked a civil servant: "How much food and grass are there in the city?"

The civil servant knew that General Li would not kill them, and might even use them. He calmed down and hurriedly said, "Report to General General, there are 10,000 stones of food, 60,000 dan of grass, and some money. The county magistrate Sun of Liangshan is not greedy and does not disturb the people."

Li Yanqing was worried about the lack of grass for military horses. When he heard that there were 60,000 dan of grass, he was overjoyed. The problem of grass for war horses was solved.

"Why didn't Liangshan Army kill the chief clerk?" This was also something strange in Li Yanqing's mind.

The civil servant thought for a while and said, "I heard that it seems that Lin Zhubu and a leader of Liangshan are somewhat related, so the Liangshan army did not kill him."

Li Yanqing nodded, which could explain that although Song Jiang was hypocritical, he was never a slut.

At this time, Lu Fei came with a middle-aged man. The man looked very gentle and quite like his uncle Li Daguang.

The middle-aged scholar seemed a little uneasy and stepped forward and bowed: "The lower official Lin Yi has met General Li!"

"Are you the chief clerk Lin of this county?"

“That’s right!”

Lin Yi was dismissed by the Liangshan Army and not appointed and removed by the imperial court, so he believed that he was still the chief clerk of the county.

Li Yanqing nodded and said, "The Liangshan Army in Bozhou has been wiped out by me. The pseudo-magistrate and the pseudo-county magistrate have fled. Liaocheng County cannot be without officials. The order in the county town will be temporarily asked to Chief Lin."

Lin Yi was surprised and happy when he heard that the Liangshan Army in Bozhou had been completely wiped out, "This is great. I will summon the gentry to discuss the plan for the city early tomorrow morning."

"In addition, I will use some food and forage in the warehouse. I will give the chief clerk a list and ask the chief clerk to write to the court as soon as possible and ask the court to arrange Bozhou officials."

Li Yanqing arranged for the army to rest in Liaocheng, and then stripped more than a thousand sets of intact armor from the fallen Liangshan soldiers, collected weapons, and handed them over to Lin Yi to form a village soldier.

Li Yanqing ordered Wang Ping and Lu Fei to select 200 strong rural soldiers to supplement the army's shortage, which restored the army's organization to two thousand people, and ordered all the gold, silver and copper coins seized in several wars to be given to the soldiers. For a moment, the soldiers were cheering and morale was high.

He was busy until dawn all night, and just dawn, Wang Gui, who was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, hurriedly found Li Yanqing and said excitedly: "Old Li, see what I found?"

He handed Li Yanqing a well-crafted wooden box, "This was discovered in a tin box in the tent of the master. I guess you will like it."

"What is this?" Li Yanqing took the wooden box and asked.

"You will know when you open it."

Li Yanqing opened the wooden box and found a thick-backed short sword inside and a shark-skin scabbard outside. He slowly pulled out the sword and saw that the sword body was black and dull.

Wang Gui picked up a spear and said, "Come and try it!"

Li Yanqing slashed with a sword, and with a crack, the spear suddenly slashed into two segments. The short sword was extremely sharp, several times sharper than his original short sword.

His former dagger was obtained by chance when he was a child. Although he could still use it, it was obviously lighter, and the blade had a gap. This dagger came at the right time.

Li Yanqing tried the sword and smiled and said, "It just happened to be together!"

When Wang Gui saw that Li Yanqing liked him, he was quite happy. He said a little regretfully: "I originally wanted to find you a good bow, but I saw a lot of it. It was either too light or had poor workmanship, and I didn't even look down on myself."

Li Yanqing's leopard head bow was destroyed by a fire in Shizhou City, Xixia, and the copper bow and iron arrow were not commonly used. He lacked a good daily bow and arrow that he had in mind.

Li Yanqing smiled and patted Wang Gui's arm, "I appreciate the kindness, don't worry, there will definitely be a chance."

At this time, Niu Gao hurried over and bowed and said, "Report to the commander, the battlefield has been cleaned up."
