Chapter 858: One Arrow Killed

"The moon is so round tonight!" Ye Kai looked up at the sky, and sighed at the big moon.

"I hate the full moon!" The horse lover on the side said coldly. "The moon is dark and windy, and the sky is set on fire. The big and round moon is simply my horse lover's natural enemy! In addition to trouble, there is still trouble."

"This is not bad." Ye Kai nodded repeatedly. The two of them are now in a clear view of Peng Zhongjun's camp at the foot of the mountain. The team of thousands of people may not be so conspicuous when they stand together, but they set up camps and put up tents one by one, plus some necessary defense measures, occupy a huge area. "Boss, start from there?"

"Enter straight!" Ma You pointed his long arm, and he was very proud that even if he had tens of millions of people, he would go there.

"Everything straight?" Ye Kai was surprised.

"Ye Kai, have you seen it? On the left side of their camp is their cavalry unit, there are about a thousand cavalrymen, and in the rear is their baggage camp. Well, there are also many camels, donkeys, and strong cows inside, right?" Ma You picked a leaf and put it in his mouth and sucked it.

"Yes, the scouts have figured out all this out before."

"Send two teams to sneak over with some hot tinder oil, so that the horses, cows, donkeys, etc. will be more jubilant, and let them cross the entire camp for me!"

"yes."

"Then these two teams set fire to me everywhere, creating chaos, the more chaos, the better. We are the ones who take advantage of the fire to rob!" Ma You laughed and said, "But this moon is so annoying. Be careful when you act!"

At midnight, the Navy and Marine Corps' operations began. Two teams of more than 100 people left Cuiping Mountain first. After a while, Ma You led the main force and also set out from the hiding place.

At the dead corners that the building could not see, two large holes were quickly taken out of the wooden fence, and more than a dozen team members entered like ghosts. Their target was the building with lights on. With the shadow reflected by the angrily lanterns, there was a crossbow above the building.

The poisonous snake climbed up along the pillar like a pillar. There were about four soldiers in the building. At this moment, they were holding swords and guns and sleeping on the wall. The two team members looked at each other, took out a blow tube from their trouser legs, held it in their mouths, and stretched in through the gap between the floor. A few light sounds, the sleeping enemy would only feel bitten by a mosquito, but this was a fatal kiss. They would never wake up again. The poison on the needle would flow through their hearts with their blood as quickly as possible, and then take them to the underworld hell.

The two of them waited for a while and heard the sound of their feet stomping weakly above their heads, and then they were silent. They looked at each other and smiled, and they turned over to the tower above their heads as a monkey. Looking at the sentry that had fallen to the floor, one of them took out a letter incense from his arms, lit it, put it in his hands, drew several circles in the air, and then shrank it back. The two worked together to slowly move the crossbow inside, from outside to inside.

There are three viewing towers on the front, and within the time of the cup of tea, all of them have changed hands.

At the third update, with the sound of the chung in Peng Zhongjun's camp, a raging fire suddenly rose to the left and behind the camp, just like the arrival of heavenly fire. As soon as the fire burned, it spread rapidly. Then what I heard was the rumbling sound of horse hooves. Thousands of war horses ran out from the left side of the camp, like an angry tide, rushing all the way, trampling on everything that was blocking them. Many of them had their hair burning, running wildly, scattering, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Peng Zhongjun stood in front of the open space of the central army's tent, looking at the chaos on the left side of the camp, his face turned snow-white.

"Master, the back and behind are also in chaos!"

Peng Zhongjun turned his head weakly and looked back. There were also flames on the other side. Countless oxen, camels, horses, donkeys, and mules in the logistics camp ran wildly. The direction they were running from was also the Central Army camp.

This is not an unintentional escape, it is a planned attack.

"Prepare for battle!" Peng Zhongjun hissed.

As he roared, it was not his Xiangzhou Town Army, but the terrifying shouts at the main gate of the central army. The gate collapsed, and devils covered with leaves and vines, with sparsely painted on their faces rushed in. The bright sword light flashed, and every flash would take away a wisp of unjust soul. The sound of a short crossbow was endless.

Before the Xiangzhou Town Army could establish an effective defense line, the members of the Navy and Marine Corps had already been killed and fled in scattered. Only at Peng Zhongjun's central army tent had a unit of about 2,000 people gathered.

Wherever war horses, oxes, donkeys and mules passed, ignited one tent after another, and collided with Xiangzhou troops who wanted to gather. Two naval and marine teams of more than 100 people shuttled between the burning camps, killing the enemy like ghosts, creating greater chaos.

On the front gate, Chen Shuiqiu, a member of the Navy Marine Corps, skillfully put strings on the crossbow. Next to him was his companions. They had shot out several crossbows and killed many enemies. Standing on the high tower, he saw that their leader Ma You finally encountered organized resistance. A large group of enemies lined up to resist the attack of the Navy Marine Corps. In the center of those enemies, there was an old guy with a helmet and armor, waving his arms, looking very angry.

Chen Shuiniu reached out to her companion, and the two of them turned the crossbow with difficulty and slowly adjusted the shooting angle.

"That guy must be a high-ranking official. There are thousands of people there. If he can be killed, the enemy will inevitably panic and the boss will be able to fight!" Chen Shuiniu said with great enthusiasm.

"It's in the shooting range, but if we want to hit the target, we need some good luck." The companion smiled.

"Luck will always belong to the Northern Expedition Army, the Marine Corps!" Chen Shuiqiu narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the crossbow arrow. He touched the board machine of the crossbow in his hand and pulled it violently.

The crossbow trembled slightly, and a sharp roar rang out immediately. The crossbow arrow as thick as a child's arms left only a trace of afterimage in the eyes of the two of them, and it crossed the sky and headed straight to the place where the enemies gathered in the distance.

Peng Zhongjun was very angry because so far, he had clearly determined that there were not many enemies attacking, at least, much fewer than his own troops. But now, the chaotic army just cannot gather. As long as it can complete the assembly, he can easily crush these incoming clowns.

He roared angrily, scolding the generals who were rushing to the panic, and ordered them to immediately summon their troops and then launch a counterattack.

No one expected that from the place beside the camp hundreds of steps away, a powerful crossbow was coming through the air. When the many generals heard the roar of the sharp crossbow breaking through the air, they looked up in shock and saw a scene that panicked and scattered.

The magistrate Peng Zhongjun, who was still angrily scolding them, was penetrated by the crossbow. The crossbow arrow was in front of the chest and the back. The sharp arrow was inserted into the ground diagonally, supporting Peng Zhongjun's body, but Peng Zhongjun's head was already hanging heavily. Everyone was shocked and suddenly scattered, without even looking at it. The magistrate had already been ordered to go to the underworld. The crossbow arrow could take Peng Zhongjun's life, so they could naturally take their lives.

It is indeed rare to be hit by a bed crossbow and crossbow arrow, and it can still maintain a whole body. From the Wang Tower to here, there are hundreds of steps. When the bed crossbow arrow flies here, it is actually at the end of its strength, and it depends entirely on its own inertia. As Chen Shuiniu said, their luck is indeed against the will of heaven.

Peng Zhongjun, the governor of Xiangzhou, was killed by a crossbow arrow, and he was killed in a confused manner.

Peng Zhongjun's death became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The entire Xiangzhou Town Army camp collapsed. Three thousand naval marines ran rampant in the camp unscrupulously. By dawn, the more than 10,000 people brought back by Peng Zhongjun, except for the two or three thousand who escaped, the rest were either killed in battle or burned to death, or they became prisoners of the naval marines.

Looking at the prisoners of war who were about 3,000 driven by the navy and marines, Ma You didn't have the courage to kill them again this time. There were too many people, and Yun Zhao was not far behind him.

After taking off Peng Zhongjun's reinforcement, Wang Qiang's fourth battalion suddenly exerted force, and Fukang was broken in one day. Tens of thousands of iron streams of the fourth battalion rolled down, heading towards Xiangzhou City.

Under the city of Xiangzhou, the Fourth Battalion met with Ma You's navy and marines, and then Yun Zhao's personal guard camp also arrived.

When Yun Zhao's troops arrived at the city of Xiangzhou, Hu Zehua's Panshi Camp had already entered Xiangzhou from Tengchong, sweeping all the way, defeating the sporadic resistance of various counties and governments. The point where the edge was pointed was Xiangzhou City.

It was only a few days later that Sun Chuanliang received this news from the sporadic defeated troops who fled back to Dayang Mountain. In addition to regretting, he had to change his arrangements, abandon the Xiaogushan defense line, and retreat to Dayang Mountain. Under Su Dingfang's attack, more than ten small peaks had been lost one by one, leaving only the Zhongzhifeng and its two adjacent peak villages. What he needs to do now is to concentrate all his troops and continue to resist Su Dingfang's attack. When Xiangzhou was completely lost, Yun Zhao's troops could retreat after entering Luzhou, because at that time, it would be meaningless for him to defend Dayang Mountain. Yun Zhao could send troops from Luzhou to aid Guizhou.

In the midst of a tragic clouds and mist, the guards of Xiaogushan gave up their positions and entered Dayang Mountain in the entire line and organized the second line of defense. Peng Zhongjun's death had spread throughout Dayang Mountain. Dayang Mountain, with the Xiangzhou Town Army as the main force in guarding, was in a sluggish morale. Sun Chuanliang faced the first enemy not Su Dingfang, but how to boost the morale of his own army. Without morale, there would be no battle to fight.
