Chapter 1082: Eighty-one fiasco
Chapter 1082 Eighty-one·Disastrous defeat
Pharmacies in Qingshui Town have been sold out for several days in a row. Some pharmacy owners realized something was wrong and frightenedly asked the purchasers what had happened and why they suddenly needed such a large amount of detoxifying herbs.
They all do business in Qingshui Town. This place has become more stable since Xiao Heng's army came. Even the sneaky thieves have no way to survive. It is not an exaggeration to say that they don't pick up things on the road. They don't want the imperial court to do so.
Something happened to the army, otherwise, the peaceful life that had finally settled would be troubled again.
Who would have thought that the soldiers, who had always been kind to the people, kept it secret this time, and when the questions became urgent, they would scold them a few times.
This did nothing to calm the doubts in the hearts of the people, but made them even more uneasy.
Sansheng went back and reported everything to Xiao Heng in detail, feeling a little worried: "Your Highness, you said you want everyone to know that something happened here, and you want to cover it up. This is really embarrassing."
Xiao Heng looked at him with a smile: "Aren't you doing a good job?"
Trying to cover up and cover up can make people more convinced that there is something wrong with the food and grass consumption.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Rong again, and both of them had smiles in their eyes: "Now, with the news from Cao Ruishen and the news they found out on their own, they should have believed us.
Something went wrong."
Su Rong also became serious: "We should have made preparations here early. Don't worry, Your Highness, everything is ready."
Xiao Heng hummed.
That night, Mouton personally led an army of 100,000 troops, and Chen Jun Ying Wuguan wanted to fight to the death with the imperial army.
He also specially asked people to print a large amount of paper and distribute it to those who were literate, and asked them to read the above content in public in front of many people, accusing the court of hypocrisy and giving the native army moldy food, so that the native army
All the soldiers are seriously ill, and Xiao Heng's army is now shopping for medicinal materials, which proves this.
Due to the terrain, Yingwuguan itself is a place where merchants gather. Where there are merchants, news circulates very quickly, because Mouton spared no effort to let Xizuo and various people who worked for him spread the news. Suddenly,
People in Yingwu Guan were panicked, and almost half of the merchants in Qingshui Town had left.
The common people were all in danger and ran very fast. Naturally, they couldn't hide this from Mouton.
Mouton sat in the big tent and took a sip of wine. When he heard the people below reporting the news, he raised his chin with pride and said, "I thought I was some great person. After all, I'm just an embroidered pillow? Before.
Duke Cheng Guo is indeed a good person, but it’s a pity that they don’t take care of him. Tsk, tsk, don’t they just send a useless grandson here?”
He has always been a very arrogant person, and he is very happy with his achievements. Everyone knows his temper, and when they hear him boasting, they can't wait to come up and praise him.
Mouton was even more happy to be praised, and ordered an attack on the city. The first one to attack was Shaqiao Station. If Shaqiao Station was captured, Zhennan Prefecture would be in the bag, and Qingshui Town would naturally no longer be in question.
Mouton thought very well, and because things had been going very smoothly recently, he was ambitious and insisted on conquering it himself. The people below him had no choice about it. They themselves obeyed Mouton's words, not to mention Mouton.
People naturally follow my temper, and those who go against it are seeking death.
On the second day, Mouton launched an attack on Shaqiao Station, and successfully captured Shaqiao Station on the fifth day.
As soon as Shaqiao Post was captured, everyone already knew the situation of the imperial troops and horses, and headed towards Zhennan Prefecture with confidence.
However, changes also occurred in Zhennan Prefecture.
Mouton left 15,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Shaqiaoyi, and took the remaining 80,000 people straight to Zhennanzhou. They thought this time would be as smooth as the attack on Shaqiaoyi, but as soon as they entered the city, they were surprised
Upon their discovery, they encountered very determined resistance.
They were deceived into Zhennan Prefecture, which was full of imperial officers and soldiers. As soon as they entered the city, they were surrounded and beaten. Not only that, there were also many people hiding on the roofs of their homes and throwing stones at them.
Shitou, they fled in panic, and finally met the main force led by Xiao Heng, who had been waiting for them for a long time.
Xiao Heng had many people and horses here, and he was very good at using firecrackers. He didn't know where he got so many firecrackers, and he also armed a firecrackers battalion. The firecrackers of the soldiers in the firecrackers camp were invincible, and they
Mouton's vanguard troops were beaten to a pulp.
Even Mouton's younger brother Mutuo died under the fire guns of the fire gun camp.
Mouton was in disbelief when he received the news, but the court's pursuers were already following closely behind him. They didn't even have time to breathe. From the moment more than 80,000 people entered the city, they became a piece of cake on everyone's chopping board. They were defeated one by one.
He himself also faced off against Xiao Heng, whom he had previously called the useless grandson of the emperor.
Xiao Heng stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, drew the bow to Mouton from a long distance away, and then let go.
The arrow was like a falling meteor, flying quickly towards Mouton.
Mouton also met Xiao Heng's eyes, which were a pair of young but threatening eyes that he had not expected. He didn't know how to react at that moment. Then, the arrow arrived in an instant and suddenly embedded itself in his chest.
Shoulders, he fell off the horse and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, his personal guards were all first-rate bravery, and they desperately grabbed him on horseback, gathered the remaining team, and escorted Mouton to the west with all their might.
There were 15,000 of their people at Shaqiao Station, and Mouton finally got a moment of respite here.
After the military doctor came to see his injuries, although he pulled out the arrow for him, he also clearly informed him that he would never be able to lift heavy objects again.
Unable to lift heavy objects, it is naturally impossible to pick up weapons and bows and arrows.
Mouton was furious.
There were a lot of shouts to call for Mr. Liu.
The people below were obedient and reminded him with some embarrassment that Mr. Liu was ordered to capture Miss Mu San and Mu Qinglu.
Mouton was furious.
If Master Liu hadn't given him false information, if Master Six hadn't said that all Xiao Heng's troops had eaten defective food, how could he have underestimated the enemy so much, and how could he have ended up like this?!
But now, he fell into Xiao Heng's trap because he underestimated the enemy, and suffered such heavy losses!
It was already two days after he calmed down from his rage. He asked his trusted generals how the situation was now.
His confidant sighed and shook his head: "Toast, we have numerous casualties, about 40,000 people."
Forty thousand people!
I don’t know whether these people are alive or dead, but most of them are probably dead.
Mouton's face suddenly turned as pale as a ghost.
Chapter completed!
