In Chuzhou City, the White Lotus Sect Headquarters.

The White Lotus Sect Master and the more than 100 surviving confidants had retreated to the tower. Li Qingshan's people had surrounded the five-story tower and were blocked. The White Lotus Sect Master stood on the tower and looked down. He saw that the surrounding square was full of black white lotus soldiers, and the burning flames almost illuminated the night sky.

"Li Qingshan!" The White Lotus Sect Leader found Li Qingshan from the chaos army and shouted loudly, "What do you want to do?"

"What are you doing?" Li Qingshan smiled and said with a grim voice, "Liu Qingyan, today next year will be your death day!"

Liu Qingyan is the name of the White Lotus Sect Master. Few people know it, and no one dares to call her name directly. Li Qingshan’s name can be said to be a traitor. The White Lotus Sect Master Liu Qingyan suddenly raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Li Qingshan, don’t you want to live anymore? Don’t forget the poison on your body!"

"Haha." Li Qingshan blew up to the sky and said with a grim smile, "Don't treat everyone else as an idiot. There is no such poison in this world. I'm not poisoned at all. Only the antidote you give regularly is the real poison, hum!"

Liu Qingyan said in a narrow voice: "It seems that you are determined to betray the Holy Church?"

Li Qingshan said coldly: "You can also say that."

Liu Qingyan's beautiful eyes turned to the black white lotus thieves around the tower, and shouted: "The soldiers of the Apostles' Holy Army, you are the most devout believers of the Holy Church. I know that you were just threatened by the traitor Li Qingshan. Today, as long as you repent and take down Li Qingshan's rebellion, I will not blame you for what you have done today."

The white lotus bandits around Mo did not respond, and no one responded to Liu Qingyan's call at all.

Li Qingshan laughed and said, "Liu Qingyan, don't bother with your efforts. Just the few people you have installed want to control my army? Dream about you! Tell you the truth, Brother Badao has already taken people to the North Camp in the city to take over the five thousand elite soldiers. Brother Shizhong has also taken the army to Wuliqiao to capture your official army. Today, even the gods can't save you!"

Liu Qingyan looked miserable. It would be unlucky to make things happen as Li Qingshan said.

"Come here." Li Qingshan turned around and shouted, "Pile the firewood and burn it for me, so that the demons on the tower can go to the world to see their lifeless mother."

"yes!"

Hundreds of white lotus bandits responded with a loud bang. They hugged up with bundles of firewood and piled up around the bottom of the tower. Another bandits carried buckets of tinder oil onto the firewood. Li Qingshan took the torch from a bandit, looked up at Liu Qingyan on the tower, and said with regret: "Liu Qingyan, Liu Qingyan, it's a pity that you are such a great beauty."

"Swoosh!"

Li Qingshan was about to throw the torch forward and onto the firewood. With a whoosh, a sharp arrow rushed from behind. Li Qingshan instinctively shrank his neck, and a wolf-tooth arrow had already swept across his head and flew away half of his right ear. Li Qingshan screamed immediately, and the torch fell to the ground, and hurriedly covered his right ear with both hands.

"kill……"

"kill……"

"kill……"

The sound of shouts of killing sounded from all directions.

Li Qingshan suddenly turned around and saw that on the high wall in the distance, the white lotus saint Bian Yujing was pulling his bow and taking an arrow, and another arrow shot towards him.

Li Qingshan hurriedly dodged and shouted sternly: "What's going on? Where did this little witch come out?"

"General!" Soon a leader of the bandits rushed over and gasped, "General, it's not good. There were suddenly many government troops around the headquarters, and there were also many good... Many brothers from the Holy Sect killed the government troops together... and killed us. We were surrounded."

"Official Army?" Li Qingshan shouted, "This is impossible."

No wonder Li Qingshan didn't believe it. At this time, Yuan Shizhong's 30,000 troops should have arrived at Wuliqiao and surrounded Wang Pu. Where did the official army come from in Chuzhou?

"General...General, really... he is an official army." The little leader of the bandit soldier gasped, "I can't make a mistake."

"Mom." Li Qingshan tore off a battle robe and wrapped his injured right ear randomly, and shouted loudly. "Listen, brothers, please. Burn the tower, and then break east with me. Go to Wuliqiao to join the second general's team of troops and kill..."

With the order of Li Qingshan, the bandits had already thrown out torches, and the piles of firewood piles piled up around the tower burned. Li Qingshan drew his sword and led the eastward again, and thousands of white lotus bandits rushed towards the east gate in a mess.

Wuli Bridge in the east of Chuzhou City.

The two armies rushed to the sky, and the Wuliqiao camp was just an empty camp. Li Yan and Song Xiance did not dare to be careless and were gathered together to discuss countermeasures urgently.

Song Xiance said: "General Li Yan, you know Wang Pu more well. According to your opinion, where will he go? Is it possible that you will find that the wind direction is wrong and fled back to Puzikou overnight to join the brigade of officials?"

"No." Li Yan pondered, "As Mo General's understanding of Wang Pu, he must have another intention to come to Chuzhou. If he fled back to Puzikou overnight to join the brigade of officials, it would mean that all his efforts were wasted. Therefore, Mo General dared to assert that Wang Pu would never escape back to Puzikou."

"Oh?" Song Xiance said in a calm voice, "General is so sure?"

Li Yan said decisively: "The last general is sure!"

Song Xiance asked, "If Wang Pu had not escaped back to Puzikou, where would he be now... Oh, not good!"

"not good!"

Li Yan and Song Xiance shouted almost at the same time: "Chuzhou!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were fires in the direction of Chuzhou. There seemed to be a large group of people sweeping over here under the night sky. Soon, Yuan Shizhong hurried to the front of the two and gasped: "Military advisor, general, quick horse return. Wang Pu and Bailian Cult have colluded with each other and have taken Chuzhou City. Thousands of elite soldiers of Li Qingshan have been defeated."

"Damn it!" Li Yan sighed, "There is one move that is the difference between chess and chess!"

Song Xiance looked gloomy and pondered: "After Wang Pu's official army left Wuliqiao Camp without knowing it, he must have gone to the camp in the north of the city, and controlled the five thousand elite soldiers before Liu Badao! Liu Badao was probably in danger, so Wang Pu returned to Chuzhou and defeated Li Qingshan's army... These actions were snatched in front of us step by step. General Li Yan, don't you think it's a bit weird?"

Li Yan frowned and said, "Military advisor, what do you mean?"

"There is only one possibility." Song Xiance said in a deep voice, "that is, Wang Pu has already known our overall plan in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to reasonably explain what happened tonight!"

"You mean..." Li Yan said in a deep voice, "There are spies among our rebel army?"

"It must be like this." Song Xiance said. "I know that there are not many people in the entire plan. There are only me here, Li Qingshan, Liu Badao and General Yuan, know the details. Where are you?"

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "In addition to the last general, there are also Li Hu, Li Xuan, Jing Maocheng and Shanli Leopard who know the overall plan, but the last general can guarantee that these four people will never betray the righteous army!"

"Military advisor." Yuan Shizhong said anxiously, "If you investigate the spy's affairs later, what should you do now?"

"Return to Chuzhou." Song Xiance said decisively. "Take advantage of Wang Pu's unstable foothold and take back Chuzhou."

"Military advisor." Li Yan suddenly said, "There is still a large camp in the north of the city. The last general is willing to lead a side army to capture the large camp in the north of the city."

"Good idea." Song Xiance couldn't help but lit up and said happily. "You take the musket team."

Chuzhou, the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect.

When Wang Pu and Bian Yujing arrived, the bottom and second floors of the entire tower were completely trapped in the sea of ​​fire. Fortunately, the main body of the tower was a brick and stone structure. There was no danger of collapse yet, but it was impossible to extinguish the fire.

In desperation, Wang Pu had to let the soldiers transfer a large amount of hay piles from the forage room and put them together, and then let the people on the tower jump down. In the end, only the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Liu Qingyan and more than a dozen male and female disciples were rescued. The rest were either smoked to death or they did not jump on the hay pile and fell to death.

Bian Yujing rushed forward and helped the dirt-faced leader of the White Lotus from the haystack.

Wang Pu couldn't care about what the mood of the White Lotus Sect Leader and Bian Yujing were at this time. He immediately ordered the entire army to retreat, retreat from Chuzhou from the north gate, and set a fire before leaving to burn all the food and grass in the headquarters. This was no longer the time for Datong. Since he could not take away this food, he could not leave it to Li Yan and the others.

It’s not that Wang Pu didn’t want to stay and defend Chuzhou City, but he knew that it was impossible to defend Chuzhou at this time.

The five thousand white lotus bandits in the camp in the north of the city were panicked. They were used to bluff. It was okay to scare Li Qingshan, a brainless reckless man, but he used it to deal with Li Yan, Song Xiance, and other thieves who were experienced in battle. Wang Pu would not place his hope on these five thousand bandits.

Maybe Li Qingshan and Yuan Shizhong shouted outside the city gate to mutiny. After all, these bandits were picked out from the army of Li Qingshan, Yuan Shizhong, Liu Badao, and others. If the wind direction was wrong, it would be possible to turn back to Li Qingshan and others.

These five thousand bandit soldiers are worried about using them, but they cannot let them rebel and surrender to the enemy camp again. Therefore, the safest way is to let Monk Zhang take them out of the city and escape far away while the enemy has not caught up!

Without these five thousand bandits, Wang Pu only had 500 officials left. Although Monk Zhang also drew 200 people from his 500 veterans to support Wang Pu, it was obviously too difficult to defend Chuzhou with just these 700 people! The seven hundred people were scattered on all four walls, with only more than one hundred people in each direction, and the strength was too weak.

Therefore, the wisest choice is to withdraw from Chuzhou, defend the north of the city, and wait for Zhao Xin's army to come and meet.

After leaving the northern gate, Wang Pu and Monk Zhang divided their troops into two groups. Wang Pu led 700 officers to the camp in the north of the city, and Monk Zhang led 5,000 White Lotus bandits to advance westward. Of course, it was to avoid Li Yan's bandits, Li Qingshan, and Yuan Shizhong their White Lotus bandits.

In order to hide his movements, Wang Puyan ordered not to trench the turrets, and the whole army went to the dark night.

Under the dark night sky, another army was also touching the night and tiptoing towards the camp in the north of the city. The two armies advanced side by side at a distance of more than a hundred steps. This army was led by Li Yan, and in order not to expose their whereabouts, Li Yan also ordered the entire army not to trunk.

At this time of death, the quality of equipment actually played an unexpected counter-effect.

Because it was a marching in the dark, it was inevitable that the soldiers of the two armies would fall and their noses were blue and swollen.

Li Yan's rebels were equipped with a coercion gun. The fuse was extinguished when marching. The fuse was only ignited when fighting, so no matter how badly it fell, it would not get fire.

Wang Pu's official army was equipped with flintlock rifles. Although the bolts were closed during the march, even if the gun was dropped to the ground, it was unlikely that the veterans would get fire. Moreover, the veterans were very careful and would protect the gun well even if they fell.

But there is an old saying that you will inevitably encounter ghosts if you walk too much at night.

If you fall too much, you will inevitably get angry.

A veteran accidentally fell down, and the bolt of the flintlock rifle in his hand was stuck to a stone and opened. When the veteran picked up the musket, the bolt was pressed down. The flint on the nose rubbed heavily on the baffle, and a ball of white light burst out. With a "boom", a dazzling red light suddenly burst into under the night sky, and the fire broke out.

Suddenly, two armies were heading forward and stopped almost at the same time.

It is said that Wang Pudi's official army was in trouble, and it seems that the unlucky one should be the official army, but the fact is not the case, because a dramatic scene happened again at this time!
