Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 337 Song Jiang: Tonight, it's all settled! [2 chapters, please vote!]

The moon and stars are rare.

Song Jiang personally led two thousand infantrymen, sneaking in through the dark from the right side of the three-way intersection.

Song Jiang, mounted on his horse, glanced at Hua Rong on his left, Qin Ming on his right, and Li Kui in front of him, feeling quite reassured.

In fact, the capital city only has thirty to fifty people. Even if they sent five hundred men to this battle, it would be more than enough.

However, having brought so many men, Song Jiang felt it wouldn't be right to prevent them from getting out and about.

Song Jiang suddenly understood why the government troops would kill innocent people and claim credit for their crimes.

If we go out and make a big fuss, it will be hard to explain if we bring back too few heads.

The population of Longtou City was so small that even Song Jiang considered killing innocent people to claim credit for the crime...

After traveling for an hour under the stars and moon, the vanguard finally reported that they had spotted the lanterns of Longtou City.

"Brother, shall we fire the signal arrow?"

Hua Rong pulled a whistling arrow from the beast-shaped pot and nocked it on the bowstring.

Song Jiang glanced at the red lantern hanging high in Longtou City:

"That's about enough. Once the signal arrows are fired, we'll charge forward in one go!"

Hua Rong then aimed at the red lantern and shot a signal arrow:

"Ji'er——"

A sharp whistling sound pierced the tranquil night sky, and the red lantern instantly burst into flames!
At the same time, the heroes of Erlong Mountain blew on the tinderboxes they had prepared and lit countless torches!

In an instant, a fiery dragon seemed to appear in the dark forest, winding and stretching for miles!
Spectacular!

Song Jiang stroked his beard and smiled, looking ahead and then back. The long, fiery dragon illuminated the entire route as if it were daytime.
Tonight, it’s done!
"Kill--"

Li Kui stripped himself naked in a few quick moves, grabbed a pair of large axes, and charged ahead in a nonchalant manner!
He was the vanguard, followed by Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, who charged towards the silent Longtou City with shouts and roars.

With two thousand against thirty and fifty, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong had never fought such a rich battle before, so they specially volunteered to be the vanguard.

Isn't this a credit that I got for free?
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong followed closely behind Li Kui, afraid that if they were even a step late, Li Kui would have already snatched all their heads.

However, just as they rushed to Longtou City, they saw that the largest hotel was suddenly engulfed in flames!
The fire spread extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire hotel was engulfed in flames...

"That's wrong!"

Li Zhong realized what was going on: "Could it be that Huyan Zhuo and his men are staying at this hotel as they come to make preparations ahead?"

"Whoosh whoosh—"

Before Li Zhong finished speaking, it suddenly seemed as if a storm was brewing, and countless rockets rained down from the sky!

The rockets looked even more terrifying against the night sky, as if a barrage of fire and meteors were crashing down on us!
Oh my god……

Even Li Kui, the murderous maniac, was dumbfounded. He enjoyed killing others, but when it came to himself, he knew fear...

"not good!"

Li Zhong turned and ran: "We've been ambushed!"

"Back off! Back off!"

Zhou Tong fled in a panic, but there were people all around him. He decisively cut down his own men who were blocking his escape!

However, it was too late; the rocket enveloped everyone!

At that time, a large number of the Erlongshan team fell, and even Zhou Tong was hit in the shoulder by an arrow!
On the contrary, Li Kui was a lucky general. He wielded two battle axes the size of cartwheels and was completely naked, yet he was not hit by any arrows.

Moreover, with his big feet, he ran faster than a horse, and nonchalantly dashed from the back to the front...

……

"Double Whip" Hu Yanzhuo, "Hundred-Victory General" Han Tao, and "Heavenly Eye General" Peng Qi led thirty cavalrymen to the front lines.

They were just waiting for Hua Rong's signal arrow to strike and then join the main force from the inside.

However, to their surprise, the hotel caught fire as soon as they got out of bed!

Moreover, the fire spread extremely quickly. By the time Huyan Zhuo and his men reached the first floor, it was already engulfed in flames!

"broken!"

Hu Yanzhuo then noticed that the first floor of the hotel was piled with hay, which he had initially thought was fodder for the horses...

It's clear that not only inside the hotel, but also outside, there were piles of dry grass, which is why the hotel burned down so quickly!
"We've fallen into a trap!"

Huyan Zhuo gritted his teeth, glared, turned around and ran upstairs again, reaching the second floor in one breath, and pushed open the window:

Good guy!
Sure enough, the area around the hotel was ablaze with fire, but he had no other choice...

One, two, three, jump!

Hu Yanzhuo gritted his teeth, glared, and jumped off the second floor without hesitation!

The distance from the second floor of the hotel to the ground was about two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters). Hu Yanzhuo not only jumped, but also kicked off the windowsill with his back foot.

This way, you can jump further and avoid falling directly into the fire below.

"Snapped!"

After landing, Hu Yanzhuo immediately performed a forward roll to dissipate the force of his fall!
Han Tao and Peng Qi also jumped down, and Hu Yanzhuo beckoned them to go around into the courtyard, where they each found their own mounts.

The warhorses were neighing and circling restlessly because of the fire.

The three mounted their mounts, and Huyan Zhuo, feeling triumphant again, angrily said:

"Charge out! Slaughter them all, leave no one alive!"

Han Tao and Peng Qi responded in unison, and the three of them, disregarding the cavalry, charged out of the hotel together!

But as soon as he rushed out of the hotel courtyard, Huyan Zhuo suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was Wuzhui horse's legs going weak?
You should know that his black horse was a fine steed bestowed by the emperor, and it never failed him when it mattered!

"Pfft-"

Just as Huyan Zhuo thought of this, he heard the black horse's rump spitting out water!

He sprayed the face of Han Tao and Peng Qi's mounts, which were closely following behind him!
Han Tao and Peng Qi almost threw up!
It wasn't a horse; Han Tao and Peng Qi's mounts, as if infected, raised their tails and began to spit wildly:

"Pfft, pfft, pfft—" "You beast!"

Huyan Zhuo immediately understood:

"They not only drugged us, but they also drugged our horses!"

Han Tao and Peng Qi quickly spurred their horses to create some distance between themselves and him, saying dejectedly:

"Brother, how are we supposed to fight like this?"

"Where is Brother Song Gongming?"

Huyan Zhuo looked around and saw flames all around, and corpses everywhere, but Song Jiang was nowhere to be seen...

"Forget it, let's fight our way out first!"

Hu Yanzhuo made a decisive decision, and Han Tao and Peng Qi naturally had no objections. The three of them rode out of Longtou City together.

A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​fire...

Wherever Huyan Zhuo and his two companions went, they saw nothing but small fry who had been killed by rockets!
Hu Yanzhuo estimated that there were at least eight hundred to a thousand corpses on this open space in Longtou City!
Huyan Zhuo was secretly alarmed and urged his horse to gallop faster, but the black horse kept spitting as it ran, so it couldn't go fast at all...

The same applies to Han Tao and Peng Qi.

The three of them rode on horseback, feeling uneasy and unaware that their mounts might collapse at any moment.

Sure enough, the black horse was the first to lie down on the ground while running...

The main reason is that the black horse is quite domineering; it finishes eating first before the other horses can eat.

Therefore, the horse with the best physical condition, Wuzhui, was the first to fall.

Hu Yanzhuo felt relieved. He was prepared and, as he lunged forward, he executed a front somersault!

The moment his feet touched the ground, before Hu Yanzhuo could even feel happy, a grappling hook emerged from the roadside bushes!

A dozen or so grappling hooks snaked wildly, and one of them landed right on Huyan Zhuo's ankle!

With a strong pull of the grappling hook, Huyan Zhuo fell to the ground, and then more grappling hooks landed on him!
Huyan Zhuo was no longer able to break free and was dragged into the roadside bushes by more than a dozen grappling hooks...

Han Tao and Peng Qi turned around and asked, "Where's my brother?"

"Xilulu——"

Han Tao and Peng Qi's mounts also went weak in the legs and collapsed to the ground, falling directly off their horses!
The two had barely landed when more than a dozen grappling hooks emerged from the roadside bushes and snatched them away...

After Han Tao and Peng Qi were bound hand and foot, they met Hu Yanzhuo:
Oh, so my brother is here!
……

"not good!"

Song Jiang was stroking his beard and smiling, waiting to see Li Kui and his men slaughter Longtou City until no one was left alive, when suddenly rockets filled the sky!

Song Jiang's expression immediately changed drastically: "We've fallen into a trap!"

Hua Rong and Qin Ming quickly flanked Song Jiang, one on each side, and urged him repeatedly:
"Brother, run! Run!"

Song Jiang skillfully turned his horse around and rode away!

As for Li Kui and his two thousand infantrymen... of course, it's better to die for your fellow Daoists than for me!
Since Song Jiang and his men were originally in the rear guard, they were at the forefront of the escape.

"Xilulu——"

Song Jiang was running happily when suddenly a tripwire appeared on the road, and Song Jiang and his horse flew off in an instant!
Hua Rong reacted swiftly, pulling out several arrows and aiming at a dark spot by the roadside, firing a peacock-like shot!
A series of screams rang out from the darkness, and Hua Rong seized the opportunity to rush over!

When passing by Song Jiang, Hua Rong bent down, scooped him up, and placed him on the back of his horse in front of him!

Qin Ming pulled on the reins, and his mount leaped into the air, just over the tripwire!
Hua Rong and Qin Ming protected Song Jiang and rushed out desperately, but suddenly there was a tripwire that tripped Hua Rong's horse!

Hua Rong grabbed Song Jiang with one hand, leaped up, stepped onto the horse's back, and flew away with the momentum!

Qin Ming tumbled off the horse's head, performing a front flip before landing, and just in time, the grappling hook extended out!
Qin Ming swept his spiked club away, deflecting the grappling hook, and took off running, catching up with Hua Rong!
With the close protection of two top-notch generals and his own short stature, Song Jiang successfully escaped!

They were even half a body length ahead of Hua Rong!

……

barracks.

Wu Yong paced back and forth, fanning himself with a goose feather fan. After circling around several times, his expression suddenly changed:
"No, I fell into a trap!"

"What's wrong, strategist?"

Xu Ning, the "Golden Spearman" who stayed behind with Wu Yong, quickly pressed for an answer.

Wu Yong stamped his foot in frustration: "Longtou City is quite influential now!"
"If you really only had fifty or sixty horses, how could you have made such a name for yourself?"

Xu Ning scratched his head: "But Duan Jingzhu and Xue Yong went to investigate, and Longtou City is really that small..."

Is it possible that there is more than one leading city?

Wu Yong's eyes widened, and he retorted sharply:
"Actually, one is real and the other is fake. The real one is used for business, and the fake one is used to deceive foreign enemies!"

"Duan Jingzhu and Xue Yong, those two blockheads, must have been fooled by the people of Longtou City!"

Xu Ning was stunned: "Then...we're going to rescue Brother Song Gongming?"

"That's too late!"

Wu Yong was so annoyed that he frantically waved his fan:

"Longtou City will definitely launch a surprise attack tonight. You should have the brothers on guard!"

"Yes!"

Xu Ning obeyed and went out.

Wu Yong frowned and continued circling around. A moment later, he suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from outside the tent!
The sounds of battle were deafening, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing!

broken!

Wu Yong's heart skipped a beat:
I was right after all; now it all depends on Song Jiang's luck...

[Don't worry, there's more to come. First, please give me some monthly tickets and recommendations!]
