Chapter 427 Night raid on the enemy camp

Song Jiang was carried out of the fire by Li Kui, and Wu Yong followed them. Perhaps it was the other party's fire attack that left a deep impression on Song Jiang. When he left the battlefield, he couldn't help but turn around and order Dong Ping: "Switch to the fireball to hit the other party!"

In the firelight, the Liangshan Army no longer used thunderbolt cannons, but instead used huge fireballs and large balls wrapped in oil-soaked fire cloth. Liangshan Army soldiers lit the fireballs, and more than 20 large artillery fireballs were fired together. More than 20 huge fireballs rose into the air and smashed them towards the enemy.

The fireballs shot only two hundred steps away. When the huge fireballs landed on the ground, they bounced high again and continued to fly forward more than a hundred steps, hitting the densely populated official army. The soldiers shouted and lay on the ground. Despite this, the huge fireballs still smashed over several catapults, and nearly a hundred soldiers were injured. There were waves of riots in the official army.

Zhong Shidao was unmoved. He looked at the Liangshan military camp walls and several giant artillery in the distance with expressionless expression, and ordered coldly: "The crossbow army formed a shield formation to protect the catapult, and used a shaking laser to shoot!"

The two thousand crossbow troops rushed to the catapult under the leadership of General He Guan. They used large shields to form shield walls to protect the catapult. At the same time, another round of attack by the Liangshan Army began. Huge fireballs roared and hit the shield walls, crossed the catapult position, and bounced towards the crossbow troops farther away. Every giant fireball flew into the official army.

The turbulent oil of the official army was effectively buried with soil by Liangshan soldiers to put out the fire, and the counterattack of the Liangshan army could also have some effects.

But as the official army officially used the thunder and thunder, the situation suddenly changed.

The first batch of fifteen dark and thunderstorming lasers shot into the Liangshan Army camp, three of which were duds and twelve thunders exploded one after another, and the earth-shaking explosion sounded hundreds of miles away.

Fire burst out and thick smoke filled the air, thousands of Liangshan soldiers were killed on the spot, two looking out towers fell down amid the explosion, more than twenty artillery guns were blown to pieces, a wall of more than fifty feet long was blown down, and there was a mess within a hundred steps of the wall, and no living person was alive.

Hundreds of steps away, the tents in the Liangshan Army camp were cleaned up due to fire prevention. Tens of thousands of generals were shocked by the explosion of thunder. They squatted on the ground with their ears covered, and Song Jiang was no exception.

After a long time, Song Jiang slowly stood up and stared at the bombed artillery and the collapsed walls in amazement. He finally realized that once the defense of the Liangshan Army camp was destroyed, it would be the time when Zhong Shidao launched a large-scale attack.

Song Jiang sighed a long time and turned to Dong Ping and said, "General Dong, gather troops to fight with the enemy! They will attack soon."

Dong Ping nodded, "General, please go to the back camp. I will command here. Even if Master Zhong comes in personally, I will make him pay a heavy price."

He turned around and ordered, "Send the general to the rear camp!"

Song Jiang, Wu Yong and more than a dozen other civil servants were sent to the rear camp. Thirty thousand Liangshan troops began to gather quickly under the leadership of generals such as Dong Ping, Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Zhishen, and Sun Li. In front were five thousand crossbowmen, arranged in five rows, and behind were tens of thousands of spearmen.

At this time, the wall of the camp had been blown up by more than a hundred feet and could not defend against the wall. He could only wait until the wall collapsed and the enemy rushed into the camp, and then blocked the opponent with a powerful arrow formation.

As a shaking camp wall fell down, the last line of defense of Liangshan Army also disappeared. A smile appeared on Zhong Shidao's face and he immediately ordered: "The whole army withdrew back to the camp!"

The catapults were loaded on ox carts and began to follow the army to evacuate south. Soon, the official army had disappeared, leaving behind a mess of Liangshan Army camp and tens of thousands of soldiers who were still in shock.

......

The veteran general Zong Shidao, who was well versed in military use, undoubtedly successfully used the strategy of shocking troops. The next day, Song Jiang, who was frightened by the thunder, made a decision to abandon Jeju and withdraw the entire army to Xucheng County, including the soldiers led by 7,000 Lin Chong in Juye County and the 30,000 Lu Junyi's army in Rencheng County.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Chong gave up Juye County and led 7,000 troops to evacuate north with Song Jiang. At the same time, Song Jiang's withdrawal order was also sent to the Liangshan Army Camp in Rencheng County.

After receiving the news, Zhong Shidao changed his usual steady and cautious style. He immediately wrote a letter and urgently sent someone to Yuncheng at the speed of an emergency military report of the 800-mile lunar month to give it to Li Yanqing.

At the same time, Zhong Shidao ordered Zong Ze to lead 5,000 troops to occupy Juye County and change the logistics area to Juye County. He personally led 20,000 elite troops to pounce on Rencheng County in a way that was beyond the speed of thunder.

.........

As the saying goes: It is better to see it at first sight than to hear it. Although the soldiers who sent a letter depicted the power of the thunder in a very fearful way, Lu Junyi, who had not witnessed it, did not believe that there would be such a powerful firearm.

Especially when Lu Junyi was dissatisfied, a new type of firearm scared Song Jiang so much that he gave up Jeju and retreated to Yunzhou, which made the heroes in the world laugh at him.

Although Lu Junyi was extremely dissatisfied with Song Jiang, he still pulled north one day later. That night, Lu Junyi's army was temporarily stationed in a wilderness south of Sunjia Town.

The lights in the big tent were common, and Hu Cheng advised Lu Junyi: "I guess the thunder is just an excuse. The real reason is that Yunzhou is tight. It is difficult for Song Jiang to maintain the battle on both sides, so he can only choose to withdraw his troops to protect Yunzhou."

Lu Junyi frowned and said, "Li Yanqing is still a young boy under 20 years old. Is he really that powerful?"

Hu Cheng smiled bitterly, "He has been different from others since he was a child. He fell into a well once and made him possessed by a god. The changes were so great that I was probably the only one who knew the best except his father Li Daqi. At that time, I felt that this kid would be extraordinary when he grew up, but he never expected that he would lead his army to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Liangshan Army. Speaking of which, it may have a lot to do with Wang Ying's Tangyin massacre, otherwise he would definitely avoid it. I know him very well, and he is the kind of person with extremely distinct grudges."

Lu Junyi snorted, "Song Jiang is in charge of others, and right and wrong are not distinguished. Wang Ying forcibly seized Chai Jin's military power. He actually acquiesced to such a serious matter. He also sent Wu Yong to warn Chai Jin that such a person is the leader of the heroes of Liangshan. What big thing can the Liangshan army accomplish?"

At this moment, a scream came from afar, and the camp suddenly became riots. Lu Junyi and Hu Cheng looked at each other. Lu Junyi secretly shouted "No," he pulled out his sword and rushed out of the tent. He saw a fire in the south of the camp, shouting and killing sounds shook the sky, and the soldiers rushed to the ground and became a mess.

At this time, a soldier stumbled and shouted: "No, the enemy has broken through the camp and rushed in!"

Lu Junyi was so shocked that he was blown up. He was stolen by the enemy's army, but Hu Cheng was experienced and immediately shouted: "General, the South Camp is no longer safe. The brothers from the North Camp retreat, otherwise we will be destroyed!"

Lu Junyi suddenly woke up and immediately turned over to the horse. Surrounded by his personal soldiers, he ran towards the North Camp and heard him shouting from afar: "Retreat with me!"

Hu Cheng was worried about his daughter. He turned over and whipped the horse hard, and ran towards the Xiying where his daughter Hu Qing'er was.

Zhong Shidao led an army of 20,000 to wait for Lu Junyi's army halfway. When Lu Junyi was camping at night, Zhong Shidao led an army of 20,000 to attack the Nandaying of Liangshan Army at night.

At this time, Zhong Shidao's army had already entered the barracks. They set fire everywhere and divided their troops to chase and kill the fleeing enemy troops. Lu Junyi's army was not prepared and was defeated under the strong attack of 20,000 troops.

The soldiers threw away their armor and fled to the north with no life. The officials chased them all the way, killing the enemy's blood, corpses everywhere, and countless surrenders.

After chasing for more than 30 miles, Zhong Shidao ordered the withdrawal of troops. In this battle, Lu Junyi's army suffered extremely heavy losses. All the food and supplies were seized by the enemy. More than 7,000 troops were beheaded and more than 10,000 surrendered.

After dawn, Lu Junyi only collected more than 5,000 defeated soldiers. Thinking that the 30,000 army collapsed overnight, Lu Junyi was extremely ashamed and angry. He wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide. Yan Qing quickly looked and hugged his adoptive father and shouted: "The adoptive father often said that Emperor Gaozu of Han was defeated by Xiang Yu many times, but the battle at Gaixia was successful, why did his adoptive father demand himself?"

The personal soldiers also rushed forward to seize Lu Junyi's sword. At this time, a group of more than a thousand people rushed over in panic. It was Hu Cheng and his daughter Hu Qing'er. Both of them had blood dyed red on their armor, looking very embarrassed.

When Hu Cheng saw Lu Junyi, he hurriedly said, "I only collected more than 1,300 people. A large number of Jeju soldiers either surrendered or took the opportunity to escape and go home. The deputy commander didn't have to wait anymore. There were no defeated soldiers behind him!"
