Song Jiang withdrew his troops, Taohua Mountain was not strong enough to catch up, Zhou Tong and others were still defending on the spot. Although Qingfeng Mountain retreated, there are now hundreds of thousands of acres of dry land in Taohua Mountain, and sweet potatoes have a bumper harvest. It is estimated that the corn yield per mu will reach 600 to 700 kilograms, and the sweet potatoes are as high as 400 kilograms. Although this yield seems insignificant to us, in this year, only pig, cattle, sheep manure, and pesticides do not reach this yield, which is enough to shock the old farmers. Some of these lands were cultivated by the construction troops of Taohua Mountain, and the others were planted by nearby farmers. In order to promote corn and sweet potatoes, Erlongshan has been dedicated. After this autumn harvest, Erlongshan will no longer need Dongping Prefecture to support food, so we ensure food security and

The sphere of influence of Taohua Mountain is narrow and long. It uses Taohua Mountain and Erlong Mountain as its bases, covering more than 100 miles of land, and it is inevitable to lose sight of one thing, so Zhou Tong had to adopt a conservative strategy and order all the left-behind leaders to strictly guard all the checkpoints and not pursue them.

If Peach Blossom Mountain is not fighting, it does not mean that Song Jiang will return to Qingfeng Mountain safely. More than 5,000 defeated generals of Song Jiang walked slowly along the way, and Yan Shun, Wang Ying, Cui Daocheng and other generals were very depressed.

Wang Ying said: "After defeat, the morale of the brothers is too low. It is better to let the brothers go to nearby towns to do activities and get some supplies to supplement the purpose of the copycat."

Song Jiang waved his hand and said, "Go, I'll take a break here, you guys go and go back quickly."

"Okay, thank you brother." More than two thousand minions rushed into the nearby villages. These minions were once poor people who could not survive. If they were guided well, they would not be so cruel. However, they followed the wrong people, Wang Ying, Yan Shun, and Cui Daocheng were all fierce people. It was too common for them to loot the people. Whether it was rich or poor households, they would rob cattle, sheep, fine and soft, and food. These were all necessary supplies. If they met a beautiful woman, they would kill and robbed them. It was normal business scope.

Just when Song Jiang indulged his men to loot the people, the Murong Prefect took action. Six thousand officials came up and launched a sudden attack. Although the number of officials and minions was similar, most of the minions were robbing the people at this moment, and they could not organize effective resistance. Kong Ming and Kong Liang were two more fools, and Song Jiang fled in a panic. The Qingzhou army chased after him and kept chasing them for thirty miles. Wang Ying, Yan Shun, Kuai Daocheng and others had already run away.

Kong Ming and Kong Liang protected Song Jiang and led hundreds of personal soldiers to escape towards Qingfeng Mountain. Although the number of officers and soldiers was large, they could not do anything to these hundreds of personal soldiers. The overall quality of the minions in Qingfeng Mountain was very poor. Originally, Dong Ping had a strong say in the parody, but since the attack on Dongping Prefecture, Dong Ping's status has declined sharply.

Seeing that the personal soldiers around him were fighting less and less, Song Jiang gradually became scared. At this moment, he suddenly set out a team of horse soldiers. The cavalry team of more than 100 people took the first step and shot several pursuers one after another.

When Song Jiang saw the person, he quickly got off the horse and cried, "Fortunately, my brother has come, otherwise my brother's life will be gone."

The person coming was Hua Rong. Hua Rong said, "Brother, don't worry, you can wait a moment later. Let's go back to the mountain when I kill the officer chasing you."

After saying that, Hua Rong urged the horse to move forward, pulled the bow and shot the arrow, and hit an officer with a whoosh arrow. The small officer who led the team to chase Song Jiang. The officers were originally as powerful as a rainbow, but suddenly the officer died. The combat power was gone immediately. They dared not chase after him anymore, and they each gathered their military merits and retreated.

Let’s talk about Hua Rong protecting Song Jiang and four or five hundred remaining soldiers hurried to Qingfeng Mountain. At the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, the second leader Dong Ping was there to greet him. Dong Ping said: “Brother, I said that our vitality has not recovered now and is not suitable for light movement. You must not listen.”

Hua Rong said: "The second leader, is it time to launch an army to question the crime? Immediately send troops to pick up other leaders and return to the mountain."

When Dong Ping saw that it was Song Jiang’s confidant Hua Rong, he immediately said, “The Hua Dean is back, and I will immediately send a team to pick up the other leaders.”

It turned out that Dong Ping was an officer, the second in command, and the soldiers in the village were originally trained by him. In order to separate power and balance, Song Jiang trained his own soldiers, but this caused a decline in combat effectiveness. Until the next evening, Yan Shun, Wang Ying and Cui Daocheng returned to the mountain one after another. Unfortunately, eight thousand minions went out, and there were less than two thousand people who came back. The losses were heavy. Otherwise, Song Jiang would be very worried, and he would still hold a banquet for all the leaders.

Let’s talk about the general of Qingzhou and the Qingzhou governor led thousands of officials to beat drums and drums, escorting two thousand prisoners back. In this battle, less than 500 people were killed, but more than 2,000 minions were captured and a large amount of supplies were seized.

The team walked very slowly, only forty or fifty miles a day. At noon that day, the team was walking when suddenly a small black dot appeared on the horizon in front. When it was closer, it was a cavalry carrying a blood-red peach blossom flag, which was the symbol of Taohua Mountain.

"Enemy attacks, prepare for battle."

The officials quickly assembled, and the swords, shields, archers, and spearmen formed a formation. The whimpering horns sounded, and more cavalrymen appeared, and the iron hooves trampled on the earth and raised the dust in the sky.

There were 1,000 cavalry in Qingzhou Prefecture, but Murong knew that he usually treated cavalry like treasures, so he only sent out five hundred cavalry this time. Five hundred cavalry took the lead in the encounter. The cavalry team on the opposite side flew over with a gust of wind and flew over in the slant. Feather arrows shot over, a large number of feather arrows flew over, and a large number of cavalry were caught in the arrows.

This is a new cavalry and shooting tactic. It doesn't rush up to give you a knife, but shoots bows and arrows from a distance. In two rounds, 500 cavalry fell more than 300 horses, and more than 100 other cavalry flew away. At this time, the infantry had already stood in formation. Lin Chong waved his snake spear on both sides first, and one thousand cavalry were divided into two teams, with 500 people on one side. These cavalry opened their bows and shot arrows more than 100 meters away from the Qingzhou Army. The feathered arrows fell from the sky and were shot into the infantry team. At first, there was no feeling, after all, the casualties were small, but the cavalry and shooting speed was fast. When seven or eight arrows fell, the team had collapsed, each of them broke down, and ran around.

Two thousand minions from Qingfeng Mountain were tied up by ropes, so it was difficult to escape, so they were captured by the people from Taohua Mountain.

Lin Chong waited for the leopard's eyes and said, "Ten people, one team, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squadron, one squad

It turned out that when Sun An and Lin Chong returned, they learned that the Qingzhou official army defeated the minions of Qingfeng Mountain, so they led the cavalry to chase and seize the prisoners of Qingfeng Mountain. Although they were prisoners, it was the time to use people for Taohua Mountain, which was under the basic construction.
