    ,

    It would be embarrassing if the sneak attack failed, because Liao Sheng had to cross the river.

    Either go to the west bank of the Xiangjiang River and go further downstream to cross the Xiangjiang River.  Either go to the east bank of the Xiangjiang River and cross the Lushui River on the opposite bank of Lukou Town.

    There is a bridge in Lukou Town, built in the Song Dynasty, with a total length of more than 150 meters. It is a wooden pier and wooden beam structure, and it needs to be repaired every few years.  If you don't take this bridge, the entire Lushui River will only have the Lujiang Bridge on the Liling side, which is also a Song Dynasty bridge with wooden piers and wooden beams.

    Liao Sheng did not have a dedicated navy, and his ships were only used to transport luggage.

    Zhao Han's navy can't come from Jiangxi, and the ships can only be used to transport baggage¡ªof course, they can make a big circle from the Yangtze River, and then follow the Xiangjiang River to this side.

    It was too difficult to cross the Xiangjiang River, so Liao Sheng could only choose to cross the bridge at Lushui.

    Landing on the south bank of Lushui, Liao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, the rebels finally did not set fire to the bridge.

    Camped across the river and did not move that day.

    Liao Sheng asked his younger brother Liao Kun to lead 1,500 elites with good water skills to smuggle upstream at night.  At that time, the main force will forcefully cross the bridge, and the surprise soldiers will attack from the east at the same time, and the two sides will be able to win in one battle.

    Fei Yinggong didn't respond, as if he didn't know how to guard against enemy smuggling.

    When the news of his younger brother's successful smuggling came, Liao Sheng sneered in the camp: "The thief general who guards the food road is so incompetent, this battle is bound to be won!"

    There are two reasons for Fei Yinggong not moving:

    First, although he can now command a thousand regular soldiers, Huang Yao took away five hundred to besiege the city.  He only has 500 regular soldiers and 500 peasant soldiers, which is too weak after division;

    Second, if the enemy is not allowed to cross the river, how can he wipe it out?

    At noon the next day, the 1,500 regiment brave who had successfully smuggled in were led by Liao Kun to kill after recovering from a rest.

    At the same time, Liao Sheng forcibly crossed the bridge in advance to restrain the bandits and cooperate with his clan brothers to reach the battlefield smoothly.

    With shieldmen and spearmen at the front and three hundred archers at the back, only a few hundred troops can be invested at one time, and the bridge will not be able to stand if there are too many people.

    They were not in a hurry to attack, so they shot at the opposite bank from the bridge, and waited for the smuggling friendly troops to arrive before attacking from both sides.

    "Father, the enemy from the east is here, and more than a thousand people have been smuggled away." Fei Ruhui said.

    Fei Yinggong turned his head and took a look: "No hurry, just wait."

    The five hundred soldiers guarding the bridge were holding up rattan shields to defend against bows and arrows.  When the 1,500 regiments on the side approached bravely, Fei Yinggong suddenly exclaimed: "Quick retreat!"

    Taking advantage of the gap between the archers' shooting, the soldiers guarding the bridge turned around and fled, as if they were afraid of being attacked from both sides, and they were directly frightened.

    Very poor acting!

    However, Tuan Yong, who was attacking on the bridge, believed it, and Tuan Yong, who sneaked over and double-teamed, also believed it.

    Since they formed an army, they have been fighting bandits for a long time.  Those thieves also fight in the same way, once they are ambushed or double-teamed, they will be defeated.

    Liao Sheng on the other side of the river said anxiously: "Ming Jin, Ming Jin, gather across the river, don't chase after me!"

    "Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

    The gong rang frantically, but it was too late.

    Tuanyong who crossed the bridge, and Tuanyong who smuggled across the bridge, saw that the Datong army was fleeing, and immediately got hot-headed and swarmed to kill them.

    Obviously, these regiments are brave and elite, and there is no way to stop them.

    After Liao Sheng crossed the river, his troops had split into two groups.  One is chasing and killing the Datong Army, and the other is very obedient and gathers on the shore.  In desperation, while leading his troops to chase, he blew the trumpet to stop the troops in front.

    This is a commercial town. There are so many people that it is impossible to line up. They can only advance along the bluestone streets.

    There are two streets in the shape of "¡Í".

    One extends horizontally along the river, and the other extends vertically along the shop.

    Tuan Yong, who was the first to cross the bridge, got into the vertical street to pursue.  The 1,500 regiments who stowed away bravely pursued them from the small road outside the town.  All dragged into a long snake array, to be precise, dragged into two long snakes.

    They are completely chasing crazy, just like chasing bandits before.

    "Call!"

    The sharp and ear-piercing copper whistle sounded, and the 500 soldiers who escaped from the main street suddenly stopped to gather in formation.

    This kind of operation, in the entire Ming Dynasty, only a few troops can do it.  Most of the officers, soldiers, village heroes, and bandits, even if they had made arrangements in advance, were defeated when they fled, and the feigned defeat directly turned into a rout.

    If the regiment warriors couldn't do it, they thought that the Datong Army couldn't do it either. They firmly believed that the Datong Army was really fleeing.

    "Under Heaven!"

    "Farm and eat!"

    ?The 500 soldiers who had quickly completed their formation suddenly shouted in unison, scaring Tuan Yongxin, who was chasing at the front.sp;He lost his own elite, what's the use of returning to Leiyang, Hengshan, and Hengyang?  Even if they go back, they may not be able to command, because they are other people's soldiers, and there are conflicts among the squires.

    Forget it, forget it, stop fighting.

    Liao Sheng waited by the river for two days, and more than two hundred regiments fled back one after another.  These were all his subordinate soldiers, and there were only three hundred left, so they simply found a ferry to cross the river and fled all the way back to his hometown in Longhui, robbing landlords to raise rations along the way.

    Hearing that Liao Sheng's main force was completely annihilated, the three cities of Hengyang, Hengshan, and Leiyang on the southern line were suddenly overwhelmed, and soldiers deserted every day.

    Zhang Tieniu took the opportunity to surround Leiyang, and Liu Zhu took the opportunity to surround Hengshan.

    Hengyang, between the two cities, was about to become an isolated city, and the prefect was so frightened that he ran away.  The county magistrate is kind, he stepped forward when he was in danger, and opened the treasury to recruit soldiers on the spot.

    However, the Hengyang garrison recruited less and less.

    The magistrate recruited one, and seven or eight escaped that night.

    Hengyang is a big commercial city. There are many wealthy merchants here, and almost every wealthy merchant has countless servants.

    There was a slave named Zhang Feng. After he made a fortune, he asked scholars to change his name to Zhang Wenyu.

    He had never been to Jiangxi, but he got a copy of "Datong Collection" from Jiangxi merchants, and began to inquire about the situation of domestic slaves in Jiangxi.

    In the latest edition of "Datong Collection", there is an article called "Release the Slaves", which classifies tenants, long-term workers, domestic servants, and military households as slaves.  It is believed that only by freeing slaves can the world be truly unified, and these slaves should also be treated equally.

    Seeing that there were only two or three hundred defenders left in Hengyang, Zhang Wenyu immediately started connecting with them, and half of the domestic slaves in Hengyang City were instigated.

    ? Judging from the slave rebellion at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the intensity of the domestic slave rebellion was far lower than that of the peasant rebellion.

    In most cases, domestic slaves just beat their masters, forcing them to hand over the contract of sale, or forcing their masters to improve their treatment. Only a very small number of them will kill their masters.  The reason is very simple. All the slave change movements are led by the slaves. These slaves also have family businesses, and they don't want to make it too big.

    The two cities of Hengshan and Leiyang have not yet been conquered, but Hengyang in the middle has changed its flag.

    Zhang Wenyu led countless domestic slaves, drove away the Hengyang defenders, and erected an autonomous Datong army flag.
