After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 119 Mad Demon

   "Although cannibalism is not uncommon, he is the only one who is proud and complacent about cannibalism. Half of the notoriety the rebels bear is due to his crimes."

Zhao Qinghe followed He Yue's words and said: "Hong Xiangqian was defeated and killed, and Lu Yao gathered up the remnants and fled south. They came to Xianling Village, not passing by as they advertised, but to meet other people by the Xianling Lake. Two traitor generals join forces."

   "These two are General Wu Shaoyi, General of the Right Account, and General Pei Xinyong, General of Hunshui."

  He Yue was surprised: "When will we meet, how many people are there?"

   "About tomorrow afternoon, Shuangyue Bay. The three armies combined, there are at least four or five thousand people."

  He Lingchuan felt that their father and son were really unlucky, and they only went out after seeing Huang Li!

   Is the almanac a fake, the product of which black-hearted workshop?

  Whether officers and soldiers or gangsters, the defeated army is often armed and undisciplined, burning, killing and looting along the way, which is more terrifying than robbers.

  In the next few days, Xianling Village will be full of rebels.

   Originally heard that the villagers here were fake bandits, and the He family father and son still looked down on them. After all, thieves have never fought with officials since ancient times, not to mention that there are many people on one's own side, and the soldiers are strong and powerful.

  He Lingchuan was even more complacent because of several life-and-death adventures before and after, thinking that all the big winds and waves have come, so what is this little trouble?

   But only now did I find out that the other party was a member of the rebel army, a notorious cannibal general!

  The opponent has 1,400 men, and tomorrow there will be three times this number of rebels coming.

It's as if a fisherman wanted to catch an eel in the river, and he jumped into the water, jerked violently, and stabbed it with a harpoon a few times, only to realize that it was not an eel at all, but a part of the tail of a large anaconda tip!

   Is it too late to retract now?

  He Lingchuan also saw the expressions of the staff around his father, they were so pale.

  If you escape overnight, what is the success rate?

  He Lingchuan believes that his father's fighting spirit has also been extinguished, and it is time to start thinking about ways to escape.

  The staff said: "If you go down the mountain now, you may be able to catch up before the reinforcements from Desheng Town arrive."

  Zhao Qinghe shook his head: "The fat man confessed, the thieves from Desheng Town have arrived, about 700 people, and they are resting at Shaoziyan at this moment, only five miles away from here!"

  Everyone turned pale with fright.

  The 200 rebel army plus 700 backup, the number is already twice as many as the officers and soldiers.

   There are more than 400 people in the pro-guard group, but only 300 soldiers who can really fight, and the rest are women, children and logistics, basically have no combat power at all. If you really fight against the rebels, the officers and soldiers will have to be distracted to protect them, which can be said to be at a disadvantage.

  Mrs. Ying and Zhu Xiuer also knew something was wrong, their faces were as white as paper.

  If the officers and soldiers are defeated, the fate of their female relatives... might as well be suicide.

  He Chunhua calmed down after hearing these numbers: "If Lu Yao has the upper hand, why didn't he go to war? He was not angry when he was attacked by Vice General Zeng by the lake, but asked me for peace."

  When he said this, He Yue immediately said: "He also wants to save his troops!"

"Since we are going to join forces tomorrow, even if these leaders of the defeated army want to sit down and have tea with Le Rongrong, they will have to decide their ranking according to their strength. Under this situation, Lu Yao will definitely suffer losses if he fights with our army. It has affected tomorrow's plan, so I have to make amends."

   That is to say, He Chunhua's official army and Lu Yao's rebel army are very delicate now.

   Both parties want to avoid losses.

  He Lingchuan glanced at his younger brother. This second child is still very clever.

   "Then there is still room to maneuver here, it is not a fatal situation." Staff member Mo Zhe Jingxuan said, "But Lu Yao's so-called peaceful coexistence, I am afraid there are only a few hours left."

   "Negotiating peace with him is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger." He Chunhua pondered, "He doesn't want to do anything tonight because he doesn't want his own strength to be damaged; but when the three armies gather tomorrow, I'm afraid they will all hunt us down!"

   Is there anything more inspiring than killing an officer and soldier?

  These defeated troops may even think that they need a big victory to lay the foundation stone for the reunion to be successful.

  He Lingchuan's heart was heavy, and he felt as if he had returned to the battlefield in his dream. Will the despair of being surrounded by enemies and with no bright future be repeated in reality this time?

  In this unrestricted small valley, with three hundred warriors fighting four or five thousand people and still winning, novels dare not write like this.

   At that time, the 300 people like He Chunhua will be the victims of the rebel army offering sacrifices to heaven.

   Mrs. Ying couldn't help interjecting: "I can't go now, and I can't go tomorrow, so what should I do?"

   There was a moment of silence in the dining room.

  If you don’t go, you will die, if you go, you will die, and the three or four hundred people of yourself have fallen into a desperate situation unknowingly.

  If it is said that there is no unparalleled road, where is the glimmer of life?

  He Lingchuan thought of the battlefield in his dream, when the last front formed by the carriages was about to be broken, what he felt was not all hopelessness, but the glorious death!

   They persevered until the end, finally waiting for the inspiring horn.

  It is the same now, it is too early to confess, there are still a few hours before dawn.

  Time is money, and they still have a chance to make money.

   Seeing everyone sitting in the hall, He Lingchuan coughed lightly, and said to He Chunhua: "There is a huge disparity in strength, and I'm afraid we can't make a fuss about ourselves. Has Dad considered using external forces?"

"The nearest town, Desheng, has been controlled by the rebels. If you want to borrow troops, you have to go further to Qianteng Town. I remember that there is Zhechong Mansion in Hebei, but after the battle of Woling Pass, there is no I know how many government soldiers are still inside." He Chunhua took a deep breath, "I will write a distress letter and send someone to send it down the mountain. If we can persist until tomorrow afternoon, maybe there is still hope."

"No... Dad, what I mean is that the rebel army is not monolithic. Are the two generals surnamed Wu and Pei convinced by Lu Yao? Instead of counting on the unreliable soldiers under the mountain, we should try to use our strength Strength?" Seeing everyone staring at him eagerly, He Lingchuan laughed dryly, "That's all I thought of, I'll add more."

   "Chuan'er, you are right..." He Chunhua's heart flashed, and after thinking about it carefully, his eyes became brighter and brighter, "It makes sense! Well, it makes sense!"

  He was also confused for a moment, he was intimidated by the number of rebel Wu Yangyang, but he forgot that two-thirds of them were not Lu Yao's subordinates! Although they are all rebels, the difference is huge.

  He Lingchuan pointed out this point, like tearing the window paper, saying that it is worthless, but it is very useful. Mo Zhe Jingxuan followed the train of thought and figured out the key point: "Lu Yao gathered 1,400 troops, but he only brought over 200 to Xianling Village, leaving the rest in the town. , why? Because this village cannot provide for so many people!"
