Chapter 140 God-given opportunity
In the morning light, there are more than a dozen thatched huts lined up in a mountain depression above the steep ridge, and the clouds and mists are rising and lingering, just like a fairyland.
boom--
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly broke the tranquility, and a house in the middle collapsed, and a man with a figure like a giant bear walked out of it.
I saw this man's dark blue face, two cinnabar eyebrows, fierce eyes, a thunderous mouth panting heavily, and roared angrily: "Waste, they are all a bunch of waste."
The surrounding thieves were all awakened, and they all went out to see what happened. Someone boldly asked, "Boss, what happened?"
It turned out that this person was Lei Gong, the leader of the Black Mountain army who was ambushing in the steep mountains. To prevent officers and soldiers from crossing the border, he personally guarded the mountain and patrolled the guards every day.
Originally, the Montenegrin Army had no shortage of food and drink, but since it absorbed [-] to [-] Yellow Turbans last year, the food consumption has been extremely fast, and it was exhausted after the winter. General Zhang Niujiao went to Changshan, and ordered the leaders to find a way to raise food before leaving. grain.
But there are desolate lands on the left and right sides of Montenegro. Bingzhou in the west has long been looted by the Xianbei army, Youzhou in the north is guarded by Wuhuan people, and Zhongshan in the east is occupied by Zhang Baiqi, so there is no place to rob.
At this time, Lei Gong received Zhang Baiqi's request for help, willing to provide food and grass to deal with the officers and soldiers. After the officers and soldiers retreated, he was willing to give up Tang County and other places to the Black Mountain Army, and then led his troops down the mountain.
These grains and grass in the mountains were collected by Zhang Baiqi for several months. Once they were burned, there would be no more supplies. Lei Gong originally wanted to go back to show his merits, but unexpectedly his plan failed, how could he not be angry?
The leaders inquired about the news, and there was an uproar when they heard the words, a pot exploded in the mountain depression, people were made of iron and rice was steel, food and grass were burned, how could there be a war?
A marshal Qu came over and persuaded: "Boss, it's really not possible, brother, why don't you withdraw?"
"Withdraw? Just withdraw so hungry?" Another person yelled: "Aren't you going to be laughed to death by the brothers in the village?"
"Laughing to death? It's better to laugh to death than starve to death, right?"
"Anyway, they are all dead. It's better to fight with the officers and soldiers. I see that they have a lot of food in the city."
"That's Liu He who killed Brother Zhang Jiao. Are you sure you can beat him?"
……
"Shut up for me!" Just as everyone was arguing, Lei Gong suddenly roared, his eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists and roared: "The officers and soldiers burned our food and did not give our brothers a way to survive. I will fight them."
Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, fight! Kill corrupt officials and grab food!"
Qu Shuai, who supported the war, immediately came over and said: "Boss, the officers and soldiers have transported no less than [-] carts of grain in the past few days, which is enough for us to feed for a month or two. They only have [-] soldiers and horses. We have so many brothers. Are you afraid that he will fail? "
Another person also said: "Boss, do it as soon as possible, otherwise at noon, everyone will be hungry and unable to run."
"This is a god-sent opportunity. Before the officers and soldiers wake up, they will be caught off guard."
"Pass my order, the whole army gathers and descends the mountain!" Lei Gong rolled up his sleeves and roared angrily, "Kill the officers and soldiers, and share the food in the city with you."
Hearing this, the commanders of each Qu were invigorated, and the few people who were hesitant at first also went to get weapons one after another. As long as they grabbed the food, they would not have to starve in the future, and the equipment of the officers and soldiers also made them envious for a long time.
Although Zhongren Pavilion is a city, it has been abandoned long ago. Only the ruins of the walls can provide a little protection from the wind. There is an earth mountain inside. Other than that, there is no other danger to defend, so everyone dared to attack the city boldly.
Not long after, there was a lot of voices in the mountains and valleys. The Black Mountain army, under the leadership of various commanders, went straight to the Zhongren Pavilion at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, the east was already bright, and the belly was white, and the bandit army came from the northwest from all over the mountains and plains, and rushed towards the camp of Zhongrenting, wrapped in billowing smoke and dust.
There was a rapid drumbeat in the officers' and soldiers' battalion, but it was too late. Before they could gather, the Black Mountain Army had already arrived outside the camp.
Holding a hammer in his hand, Lei Gong rushed into the camp first. He saw the Chinese army on the mountain, and led his men straight to the camp.
boom--
Lei Gong smashed open the large tent in the middle with a hammer, and was about to find a piece of equipment when he saw a pile of hay inside, and couldn't help being stunned.
"No, you idiot Liu He——" Lei Gong's face changed drastically, he immediately turned around and mounted his horse, yelling: "Retreat, retreat quickly——"
But at this time, the bandits were plundering everywhere, and the noise was like a stormy sea, and his cries could not be heard at all.
Not all the camps had firewood from the other party, some of them did put some weapons and armor, and the bandits who grabbed the equipment shouted excitedly, while more people rushed to the granary in the northeast corner.
Just as Thunder God roared, black smoke suddenly rose from the broken wall on the east side, and then a blazing fire lit up. The east wind was strong in the spring morning, and it immediately spread into the city.
The most thieves gathered in the northeast corner, and they all flocked to grab the food. The two city walls here are still well preserved, which is convenient for sheltering from the wind and rain, and there are densely packed granaries with sharp tops in the corner.
They broke through the fence, overturned the earth wall and rushed in. Everyone occupied the granary and surrounded them, even arguing and arguing about it.
But when they opened the granary, they found that it was full of dry grass and dead wood. They were so angry that they yelled and cursed. Then the rockets dropped like locusts.
It turned out that the hut had long been covered with thick firewood, and the barrels were filled with sulfur and kerosene, which were scattered in the thatch and ignited when exposed to fire, turning into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Lei Gong discovered that countless officers and soldiers suddenly appeared from the earth mountain. It turned out that they dug earth pits to hide in it. Suddenly, rockets were fired, and even stones and giant logs wrapped in hay and kerosene rolled down.
Lei Gong saw that the entire Zhongren Pavilion was ablaze, and the smoke was billowing. He was so smoked that he couldn't speak, so he had to try to escape with his entourage.
The morning glow reflected Dongshan, echoed the fire in the city, and dyed the whole sky a dark gold. Lei Gong retreated out of the camp in embarrassment. Hearing the miserable screams behind him, he gritted his teeth with hatred.
Rumbling--
At this moment, a group of men and horses rushed out from the slanting stabs, blocking his way. In front of him was a young general on a white horse, with a face like a purple cloud, standing with a spear horizontally, looking heroic and heroic.
Lei Gong recognized that it was Liu He, and roared angrily: "Liu He, you treacherous villain, I want to smash you into meat and eat it with rice!"
Amidst the roar, he urged the horse to charge forward, swung the sledgehammer and slammed it hard at Liu He.
He is tall and strong, and the hammer in his hand weighs fifty or sixty catties, plus the impact force of the horse, ordinary people can't stop him from smashing.
But seeing that Liu He did not give way, he even urged the horse to meet him. The white horse held its head high, neighed, and galloped towards Liu He with its four hooves spread out.
There was a smirk on the corner of Lei Gong's mouth, this is really a godsend opportunity, as long as Liu He is killed, he will be famous all over the world, and he can be on an equal footing with Zhang Niujiao.
