After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.
Chapter 257 Fire
The reeds sway gently in the night, quiet and eerie. The Shence Army led by Li Xiujing was lying in ambush, and as soon as the drum beat started, they began to surround and kill the rebels.
The intelligence soldiers put their heads down and leaned forward to listen. He got up from the ground and quickly greeted Deputy General Shence. The vice general came over and immediately passed on the news.
Soon the sound of horse hooves came.
Li Xiujing, who was hiding in the reeds, looked up at the approaching troops and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. Tian Min is really a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Even when he was escaping, he was quite cautious. First, dozens of people were used to test whether there was an ambush, and then hundreds of people were allowed to pass one by one. They walked forward in batches like this, but they all stopped in front of this reed field. Apparently waiting for the large troops behind to join up.
Seeing that the rebels were about to leave, Vice Admiral Shence turned to look at Li Xiujing. He stopped talking, but he had the intention of leading people to rush forward and annihilate this group of rebels in one fell swoop.
However, Li Xiujing grabbed his arm and shook his head. He tilted his head and whispered to Feng Yuanxian. Feng Yuanxian nodded and led a dozen infantrymen to quietly climb up the high slope ahead.
The two groups of rebels, Wei Bo and Cheng De, were still standing in front of the reed field, with a bit of fear on their faces. It was as if Tian Min had threatened him to come here to explore the way.
Suddenly someone in the army shouted: "No, there's a fire!"
As soon as the voice fell, the formation of this army instantly became chaotic. There is no need to worry about discipline. The thick smoke spread along the night wind, and it was obvious that someone had done it deliberately. The front was blocked by fire, and there were pursuers behind. They could only watch the fire burning little by little, and they could only hesitate to move forward.
However, the leading general quickly took control of the situation and ordered everyone not to move without permission. All decisions will be made after the large forces arrive.
Just as the vanguard was hesitating, Tian Min had already led his troops over.
"What's going on?" Tian Min said angrily, waving his whip and pointing at the leading general.
The general received a whip on his face, lowered his head and replied: "There is a fire ahead."
Tian Min frowned and looked forward, his eyes cold and sharp. There are still pursuers from the army behind, and it may be too late to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river at this time. But we don’t know what’s going on ahead.
Thinking about the visitor, he turned his head and looked at the reeds beside him, thinking in his eyes. Compared to the front, this place is more suitable for setting up an ambush.
Shen Ce in the reeds is aiming his bow at Tian Min. However, Li Xiujing pressed him down and shook his head to signal him to calm down.
Tian Min frowned and called the sergeant to raise the torch. It seems that he wants to burn this place with fire.
A man dressed as a high-ranking general in Wei Bo's army said: "Commander, although this reed bush looks like an ambush, we should burn it with fire. What if there is a commander-in-chief of the army inside? The people will be burned beyond recognition, and the court will not be able to see it. You will believe it. Only by capturing him alive can we negotiate with the court."
"Commander, in my opinion, we might as well kill the ambush in front of us first." One person continued.
After hesitating again and again, Wei Bo's rebel finally moved forward. At this moment, Li Xiujing suddenly stood up, held up the crossbow, and pulled the trigger. The arrow flew out and penetrated the head of the general.
Wei Bo's army was instantly in chaos. Tian Min, who was on his horse, quickly commanded the chaotic troops and quickly formed a formation to meet the enemy. The heads and torches were all moving together, and there was no formation at all.
Tian Min was so angry that he cursed loudly, but before he could stabilize his formation, another loud arrow shot into the night. Several torches suddenly lit up on the high slope to the west, and they were all thrown down. But the reed bush where Li Xiujing was was still silent. He is waiting for an opportunity.
Taking advantage of the height of the terrain, the Shence Army threw the pine torch down reluctantly. The horse was frightened by the torch and neighed uneasily. Even experienced cavalrymen find it difficult to control.
Seeing the ambush in the west blocking their way, Tian Min gritted his teeth and quickly commanded the troops to climb the hill to counterattack. However, they were attacked by stones, arrows, and pine torches, and were unable to counterattack. Wei Bo's army, which was already in a rout, immediately retreated when it saw that the situation was not right.
No matter how much Tian Min ordered around, it was useless.
But then a drum sounded from the reeds. Li Xiujing led Shence Army out of it and blocked Wei Bojun's path. Unable to escape, Wei Bojun had no choice but to surrender.
"It's you! That Right Shence General Li Xiujing." Tian Min already recognized the other party's identity and said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiujing did not answer, but calmly directed the Shence Army to launch an attack.
Tian Min took a deep breath as his eyes wandered over Shence Jun. Although I am outnumbered in the current situation, the morale on his side is far inferior to that of Shence.
The fire in the front was very fierce, and there were both ambushes and pursuers in the rear. The two sides have become encircled. The only way out was Huan Shui beside him.
Tian Min squinted his eyes as he looked at Li Xiujing, "I see that your Excellency is very handsome and a great talent. Why don't you follow me and wait for the Qing Emperor? You will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future."
After listening to his words, Li Xiujing still didn't answer. Knowing that there was no negotiation with the other party, Tian Min had no choice but to gather those who still had military discipline and retreat.
It's early autumn, and the river water in the North is getting cooler.
Looking at the murderous Shence Army behind him, Tian Min sighed and ordered the entire army to cross the river and rush to Weizhou.
"General, they are trying to escape!" General Shence shouted.
Hearing this, Li Xiujing raised his head and looked at Tian Min, who was leading his army across the river. He raised the crossbow again and loosened his fingers. The arrow flew directly towards Tian Min.
Sensing an arrow coming through the air, Tian Min subconsciously turned his head to avoid it. He pulled the guard beside him to block the arrow.
There were constant flying arrows above his head, and Tian Min had no choice but to plunge into the water. Seeing this, the rest of Wei Bobing had no choice but to dive into the water together and swim to the other side.
The Huan River is very wide, and many of Wei Bo's soldiers are not well versed in water. Before he could swim far, he was captured by Li Xiujing who was chasing him. He had to surrender on the spot.
Li Xiujing, who was floating in the water, looked at Tian Min, who had led the remnant army ashore, with dark eyes flashing.
It is not a good idea to go deep alone, not to mention that there are thousands of defenders in Weizhou. But he would not be willing to let Tian Min go just like this.
Taking advantage of Li Xiujing's hesitation, Tian Min's troops had all landed ashore.
The fire on the other side was messy, but Tian Min was on top of the horse. He looked at Li Xiujing who was still in the water, grabbed the bow and arrow from the guard beside him, and drew the bow and nocked the arrow.
The arrow flew, and Li Xiujing plunged into the water subconsciously. Avoided this arrow.
"Let's go!" Tian Min saw Li Xiujing diving into the water, fearing that he would come ashore again to raid, so he quickly led his troops to withdraw.
"General!" He Liang shouted urgently.
Li Xiujing emerged from the water, stared at the fading fire with an expressionless face, and sighed.
He made an agreement with Zhou and Wang that he would lead an army to ambush Tian Min's remnant troops, and they would lead their armies to join him to encircle and annihilate the rebels.
But judging from the current situation, the reinforcements have not yet arrived, and it is likely that the two of them started arguing again.
Li Xiujing, who was dripping wet, emerged from the water and looked forward with a calm face.
"He Liang, you and Feng Yuanxian will clean up the battlefield together. Count the number of prisoners." Li Xiujing's tone was indifferent.
