After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1288 New Trouble
Yang Meng's troops rushed into the herd of cattle like a tiger, shouting "Hidden on the ground, no killing" while heading straight for Liu Chengshou.

To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. His purpose is very clear: as long as he kills this unscrupulous scum, his mission will be complete tonight.

The soldiers who were vomiting and having diarrhea couldn't even lift their hands, so of course they squatted on the ground; when the others saw that the situation was hopeless, they rolled their eyes and also squatted on the ground.

We are all colleagues in the city. I don't think Yang Meng will kill us all. Why should I resist to the end?
The salary is so low, who would really risk their life to defend Liucheng?
Liu Chengshou also knew that he had lost the game completely, so he had to order a retreat.

At this time, there were only six or seven hundred people left around him.

How could Yang Meng let him go? He gave an order and the entire army gave chase.

But their shortcomings were revealed.

Insufficient horsepower.

After being besieged for more than 20 days, the livestock in the city were basically eaten up. Although war horses were important, they were still killed one by one after the snakes, insects, rats and ants were all eaten up.

If people can’t even survive, what’s the point of talking about the future?
Therefore, Yang Meng's garrison had to be mainly composed of infantry. When they rushed into the enemy camp, they immediately tried to seize horses, but they only managed to seize more than a hundred horses.

Just as he was sighing, he realized that the deserters ahead were not much better off:
There was runny horse manure all along the way.

After walking for another hundred feet, we often saw horses collapsed on the ground along the way.

The medicine specially prepared by Dong Rui takes effect slowly, but it is not picky about the target.

Everyone in Liu Jun’s camp, whether human or horse, needs to drink water, so…

One escaped and the other chased for several miles.

Both sides were quite embarrassed, but neither was willing to stop.

The troops surrounding Liu Chengshou were fighting and dispersing, and the number of them was decreasing. He was surrounded in the middle and could even smell the stench of feces and urine.

This was truly the most embarrassing retreat that anyone present had ever experienced!

The garrison troops behind saw the light and chased more vigorously. After all, there were less than a hundred cavalrymen left with Liu Chengshou. If they made more efforts, they might be able to drag Liu off his horse.

But at this moment, two garrison soldiers suddenly pointed diagonally downward and shouted anxiously, "Lord Yang, under the city, under the city!"

They chased Liu Chengshou to the middle of the mountain, and after a while, they could overlook the Shizhoutou Gate from here:
There are now dots of red light and torches filling the sky!
Just by looking at the torches, you could tell that there were a large number of people, and that they were all crowded under the city gate.

Most of the garrison troops at Shizhoutou came out to kill the enemy, and Liu Chengshou's troops were also chased and fled. Where did this other army come from?
"Zhao Guangzhi."

Yang Meng changed his mind and his face turned pale with horror.

The ogre king Zhao Guangzhi attacked Shizhoutou last time but retreated hastily, but he never went far away and was still lingering nearby.

Liu Chengshou led his troops back to recapture the city and had been attacking for so many days in a row. The momentum was so huge that it was impossible for Zhao Guangzhi not to know about it.

He has been silent. Is he waiting for the most suitable opportunity?

For example, tonight.

The garrison troops and Liu Chengshou fought each other and chased them so far, the defense of Shizhoutou City was weak!
Thinking of this, Yang Meng broke out in a cold sweat.

If the Shizhou head was taken by Zhao Guangzhi, the fate of all the people in the city would be even worse than if it was taken back by Liu Chengshou!

He had just driven away the wolf, but a tiger broke into the stone helmet below?

The only solution now is to return for help immediately!
There is a shortcut down the mountain from here.

But looking at the enemies fleeing in front of him, Yang Meng felt extremely unwilling.

That bastard Liu Chengshou brought so much harm to the people in the city, how could he escape with his life?

But, but... Yang Meng looked at the enemy's backs looming in the mountains and forests, and then looked at Shi Zhoutou who was in danger below, and finally let out a long sigh:
"Withdraw the troops and go back to support Shizhoutou!"

In just a few moments, Yang Meng thought clearly. Although he hated Liu Chengshou to the core, his top priority was to ensure the safety of Shi Zhoutou. After this battle, even if Liu Chengshou escaped, he would be seriously injured and would not be a threat in the short term.

At critical moments, people always have to make choices.

However, before the officer gave the order, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out from the side!
It was a dark and windy night, and the enemy almost collided with them, which frightened Yang Meng's horse Xi Yuyu so much that it let out a long neigh.

The garrison was shocked and drew their weapons to attack.

Yang Meng tightened the reins, took a closer look, then raised his wrist to stop the army from moving forward.

With the dim light, Yang Meng could barely see that the knights on horseback were all wearing black light armor and masks!

The leading knight wore a wolf-head mask, and Yang Meng looked at the two golden eyebrows and they looked familiar. He met two masked men in the temple a few days ago, and this was one of them.

"It's you!" Who would paint two golden eyebrows on a wolf face?

He subconsciously wanted to find the dragon head mask, but it didn't seem to be among these people.

"Do you have any advice?"

These people gave him food and helped him win a great victory tonight, but that didn't mean he could trust these guys of unknown origin.

The wolf-head mask stretched out his hand, pointed at Yang Meng, and then pointed at the stone helmet city below.

The meaning is very clear, let him go back to support the city.

Then the wolf-head mask turned his horse's head and chased in the direction of the Liucheng defenders' fleeing army.

The black-armored army followed closely behind, and after a few breaths, the sound of horse hooves faded into the distance.

These uninvited guests actually went after Liu Chengshou? Yang Meng was stunned for a moment and ordered the entire army to return to the city as soon as possible.

Yang Meng didn't know what these guys who showed up halfway were trying to do, but they were full of ill will towards Liu Chengshou, which was great.

Perhaps he was an enemy of Liu Chengshou? This fellow had done many things that angered the heavens and the people, so it was no surprise that he had offended several powerful forces.

At this time, Shizuotou needs every bit of help.

He looked at the city gate below, feeling extremely anxious.

The wolf-headed mask also stopped to take a look, and saw the backs of Yang Meng's garrison running back home, then turned his horse's head and continued on:

"Hurry up, or you'll miss the fun."

This person, of course, is Dong Rui.

……

Liu Chengshou rode his horse at full speed.

He didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that his body was becoming more and more uncomfortable, and he seemed to be having vomiting and diarrhea.

"Hurry up, faster!" They had to rush to Qucheng, which was his cousin's territory and could provide temporary shelter for his remaining troops.

He looked back frequently and could find out that the pursuers were getting smaller and smaller without his confidants reporting to him.

"They don't have enough horses!" Liu Chengshou was overjoyed, "They can't catch up!"

Not only did their horses have diarrhea, but the mounts Yang Meng had snatched from his camp also couldn't withstand the effects of the drugs. What's the use of hundreds of infantrymen who can't catch up? Even if those dozens of cavalrymen come, they'll just be food for the taking!

"Ha, ha!" Liu Cheng's cavalry was panting, but he was relieved. "Yang Meng and his gang used such despicable means to win. It was not fair! When I return to Qucheng to borrow troops, I will kill him on the horse!"

These words not only comfort myself, but also comfort the die-hard fans around me.

Liu Chengshou realized that he had escaped from the predicament and had begun to plan for the future.
