"Well? Why is it gone? Oops, that shout just now was a bit unnecessary."

After killing the four most confidant and stubborn personal soldiers around Zulang, Dian Wei waved the double iron halberds a few times under the inertia, and then realized that he had made some mistakes.

What he expected was that as soon as he assassinated Zulang, a steady stream of Zulang's personal soldiers rushed into the central army's tent, and then he needed to expose Zulang's charge of betraying the court and stabilize these people.

However, after killing the four personal soldiers who were originally on guard in the tent, no one came in!

He yelled in vain! Maybe he even alarmed the people outside!

After Dian Wei cut off Zulang's head, he raised the curtain of the big tent with caution and was ready to avoid the arrows shot from outside the door at any time.

If he breaks through the siege, he is also mentally prepared to return to the stake and hold on to the aid of help, and let Guan Yu and Li Suk come to pick him up.

But what he saw was seven or eight confused, trembling and looking at his militia with weapons.

Seeing the pair of two iron halberds that had killed five people and were soaked in blood, the militiamen still shivered and retreated.

Alas, the military discipline and morale of the refugee army are just like this!

Fortunately, Guan Yu and Li Su, who were fifty steps away, had already vaguely heard Dian Wei's roar, and immediately controlled Zhou Tai, and then quickly came over to take over the troops.

"Zhulang has been killed by colluding with rebels! General Zhou is unaware of it, now he is already right! No matter what the rest is!"

The entire camp was quickly controlled.

Li Sushao had to let the Jiang Qin's personal soldiers who destroyed the ships appear in front of others again and accused Zulang and Jiang Qin of their conspiracy, and spoke with slight words, making ordinary militia more and more afraid to resist.

However, there are many Zulang's fellow villagers and old friends, probably because they are afraid of liquidation, so they scattered and took away hundreds of people.

Li Su didn't chase those who just wanted to escape. He removed some people with weak will, so as not to be deviated from the morale of the army when the fight started.

After some trouble, there were seven or eight hundred people missing from Lulu Camp, but there were still two thousand reorganized people left.

Zhou Tai was stunned for a while, and finally figured out the status quo, stabilized the others, hugged Jiang Qin's head and cried bitterly.

"Dong Yi, why are you confused!"

Because Zhou Tai did not need to participate, Zulang did not tell Zhou Tai about the consequences of his plan out of confidentiality.

So at this moment, Zhou Tai only knew the fact that "Zulang colluded with Zheng Bao to betray the court", but did not know that Zulang's motive was to "preserve his strength."

So Zhou Tai couldn't understand why Jiang Qin had to rebel against the court with Zulang. He only felt that this fellow villager had taken a wrong step, and he felt very sorry.

Li Su looked around and thought it would be better not to let Zhou Tai know the motivations. So he quietly waited for Zhou Tai to cry before announcing the next arrangement:

"Sir Zhou, since this incident happened, I will appoint you as the deputy commander of land troops, obey Lu Su's command, and Dian Wei's army is the vanguard. Yun Chang and I went back to command the waterway. It is normal to arrive at Ruxukou half a day later than the original date. You must not be delayed! I will not try to make contributions in this battle. Just bite Zheng Bao and persevere to the end. After the war, I will represent your position as a county lieutenant, with a rank of 300 stones."

Zhou Tai sighed a few times, but finally agreed to the request and announced the rectification of the troops.

Although he was in the same hometown as Jiang Qin, he had a good relationship, but after all, he heard the confession of Jiang Qin's personal soldiers who had "actually destroyed Li Su's ships under Jiang Qin's order." Moreover, Zhou Tai knew all of Jiang Qin's personal soldiers, so he knew that the matter was indeed ruled by the court.

He didn't know what Zulang and Jiang Qin planned. He treated him as an outsider and his inner unwillingness faded.

Li Su turned to Lu Su, who came with the army this time, but never gained any sense of existence: "Zijing, I think Zhou Tai and Dian Wei are not familiar with military tactics, they are afraid that the troops will advance easily and retreat easily. At least you are urging me, and I don't seek to make contributions. As long as the commander and Zheng Bao fight, you can attack to strengthen momentum, disrupt the morale of the enemy, and create fighter opportunities for the other two groups, I will be satisfied."

Lu Su: "Brother Boya, don't worry, Su will do his best."

...

After that, there was nothing to say for a day and a half. Lu Su, Dian Wei, and Zhou Tai led two thousand refugee troops by land, Li Su and Guan Yu led two thousand refugee troops by water, and arrived near Ruxukou one after another.

Because it was delayed for a long time than the original plan, when Lu Su arrived at the battlefield, Wu Qiu Yi had already brought Zhang Duo and Xu Gan's coalition forces, a total of three or four thousand people, to fight with Zheng Bao's men.

Ruxukou is located on the southeast bank of Chaohu Lake. The terrain in this area is generally higher. There are two mountains, Qibao Mountain and Ruxu Mountain, surrounding the lake. There is a deep valley between the two mountains. Ruxu water flows out of Chaohu Lake from this valley entrance and eventually flows into the Yangtze River.

Such a river valley terrain is relatively unfavorable for the development of the large army. Therefore, when Lu Su arrived, Zheng Bao's troops were in the upper reaches of the river valley and Wuqiuyi's troops were in the lower reaches, fighting each other, and the width of the front of the battle was less than a hundred feet, which was as wide as the beach by the river.

When Zhou Tai saw that the strength gap between the enemy and us did not seem to be very large. Although the imperial court had fewer people, it seemed to be more elite. With the command of the law, he tentatively asked: "Do you want me to lead people to rush down?"

Lu Su was only sixteen years old, but he had read some books and traveled around the world to understand some human nature. But there was no such thing as practical application of military tactics. So Lu Su was so nervous that he sweated slightly.

Brother Li handed over two thousand soldiers to him, so he couldn't mess it up! You must be worthy of Brother Li's trust!

If Zulang hadn't had any talent this time, he wouldn't have given him the opportunity to perform like Lu Su.

Be sure to catch it!

Lu Su thought carefully for a long time and decided to say, "Don't worry, let them fight first, let's organize the team first! Divide the two thousand people into two teams, let the soldiers decide by themselves, and there is a division of one army with their wives and children, and there is no family concern to divide the other army!

If you are concerned, go to Qibao Mountain first. Youping, take them along the river valley first, and make an appointment with military orders. As long as you persist for a stick of incense, you will allow them to retreat! But if you dare to retreat first, you will be killed!

I personally led the rest half of the Qibao Mountain that was not cared about by family members, and continued to ambush the half slope of Qibao Mountain. If your troops retreated, they could rush Zheng Bao’s main force to chase and lure him away. I would kill him from the mountain and cut off the retreat of the pursuers-

The morale of Zheng Bao's men and horses was supported by Ruxukou Shuizhai. They had been dealing with the imperial court for many years, and they would take the boat from the Shuizhai and return to the lake because they could not win. Therefore, the key to this battle was to create opportunities for Guan Sima and Li Biejia, who provided the waterway. This was Han Xin's method of seizing Jingxing."

Zhou Tai was a little confused when he heard this, but he was quite satisfied when he heard that he could withdraw as long as he led the team for one stick of incense.

The refugee army still appears as a reinforcement, and it can boost our morale as soon as it appears. In this case, it is not a big problem to stick to one stick of incense.

Zhou Tai spent half a stick of incense to detach the troops, divided them into two strands, and then took one strand to kill him.

Lu Su, with a thousand people, lying on the hillside, waiting quietly and calmly.

When Zhou Tai first appeared, the morale of the official army was indeed high, and friendly troops on the east bank of the river were shouting and killing each other, killing Zheng Bao's men hundreds of feet away. However, Zheng Bao's army then saw the scale of Zhou Tai's reinforcements and stabilized his position again.

Zhou Tai held on for a while more than expected. He fought fiercely, killed more than 20 soldiers, and boosted his morale for a while. After a full half an hour, he fled with his thousand men, leaving about two hundred corpses on the ground, and hundreds of enemy corpses.

...

Zheng Bao had been climbing high in the village and staying in the camp, but he was so happy to see this.

"Zulang's refugee army is indeed vulnerable! Wu Qiuyi thought that with their reinforcements, I could defeat me! Humph, after the war, I had to take advantage of the situation to completely destroy Zhang Duo and Xu Gan, and arrest everyone to replenish the troops! From then on, the Danyang soldiers were my family and there was no place to hire them!"

Zheng Bao thought with hatred, and ordered: "Change all the people prepared in the water camp! Those who pursue Zulang! As long as we completely annihilate Zulang's reinforcements, we can attack Wuqiuyi's morale. Moreover, Wuqiuyi has already handed over the downstream flanks to Zulang for protection. As long as we pursue and cross the river downstream, we can attack the official army forward and backward!"

"Abide by the order!" Zheng Bao's two Shanyue tribe generals immediately took the order and left.

Liu Ye, who was locked in the village by Zheng Bao as a puppet of contact, moved his lips when he saw this, but in the end he did not advise.

"There is no such thing as Zulang's people. There must be reinforcements that have not yet emerged. Zheng Bao was so confused that he was confused. However, he has been tying me, so there is no need for me to help him." Liu Ye thought to himself.

As expected, once a group of troops like Danyang soldiers fight, they will easily chase them deeply and forget them.

Moreover, there were elite soldiers on one side and defeated soldiers on the other. Everyone wanted to pick soft persimmons, so the number of Danyang soldiers chasing Zhou Tai was several times more than that of Zhou Tai's remaining soldiers.

Although Zhou Tai was defeated, he led enough enemies away.

According to the original plan, Lu Su shouted down from the half slope of Qibao Mountain to cut off the narrow river valley on the west bank of the Ruxu River. Zheng Bao's army, who was satisfied, suddenly found that the enemy had a second wave of reinforcements, and became panicked again. The last reserve team near the water village was also rushed to fight with Lu Su's people.

"Is this Zulang's backup plan? If it's just like this, the outcome will still be unpredictable." Liu Ye felt a little unwilling. He also fantasized that someone would kill Zheng Bao and he would not have to be kidnapped by these powerful chiefs.

I don’t know how long it took to fight, but the lookout hand beside Zulang suddenly exclaimed: “There are a large number of warships on the lake behind it! It’s only two miles away!”

Zheng Bao was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly ran to the direction behind him to look out: "Why did you see it so close!"

The lookout hand was also very aggrieved: "These boats were booming against the shallow water on the shore. They just blocked behind Qibao Mountain - our water village is in the valley between two mountains and the valley, so our sight is not good."

Building passes and water camps in the valleys will have a poor vision. However, as long as there are many guards in the camps and are well prepared, even if the enemy is close to discovering it, it is no big deal.

But at this moment, Zheng Bao's attention was entirely on the front of the Ruxushui River Valley. Who knew that a large number of people would suddenly appear on the lake behind him?

Moreover, because Ruxu Water is the outlet of Chaohu Lake, the water flow is relatively turbulent and the boat drives very quickly. Even if there is no wind or oar on the boat, the natural water flow will be washed to Ruxu's mouth and cannot be stopped at all.

Zheng Bao was still shocked, and saw the two ships in front of the enemy ignited a fire and rushed directly into his water camp.

Guan Yu jumped to the shore first, led his troops to rush into the water camp, and commanded everyone to shout: "The imperial army has occupied the islands in the middle of the lake! Zheng Bao has nowhere to retreat! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Two thousand sailors shouted together, instantly destroying Zheng Bao's morale - Zheng Bao's men, who have formed psychological advantages over the years, and if they can't defeat them, they retreat to the lake.

The confidence and morale of the Liangshanpo bandits in later generations was basically based on this mental preset.

Now that this confidence has been cut off, I’m still fucking!

Zheng Bao was so panicked that he was as at a loss as a headless fly, and his personal soldiers were sent out.

Liu Ye was eager to see, licked his lips, touched his sword, and saw the opportunity, jumped up with a sword behind him, and cut off Zheng Bao's head.

"I am a relative of the Han Dynasty! Zheng Bao is bound to be defeated! You follow me to take Zheng Bao's head to surrender, and the court will definitely not pursue the mistakes of following the thief!"

The people around Zheng Bao were actually shocked by Liu Ye and followed him to surrender.
