Chapter 2715 Lü Meng Dies in Battle!

As soon as the first fireball appeared, a second, a third, and dozens more flew out in an instant, all landing among the Jiangdong soldiers and causing them to wail in agony!
The fireball was thrown directly into the crowded Jiangdong soldiers. Although it didn't injure anyone, the Jiangdong soldiers' formation immediately fell into disarray due to their fear of fire.

These fireballs are coated with fish oil, which, while not as fast as gasoline, still burns very quickly.

Wang Yue has led the people to catch a lot of fish over the past few months, and the fish oil extracted from the fish fat is all they have. It was used up in this one time.

The village was originally made entirely of wood, and with the piles of timber, after they were coated with fish oil, a raging fire immediately broke out.

If a large fire had been set on fire at the start of the battle, Lü Meng might have had a chance to escape. After all, the stronghold was quite large, and it would take time for wood to ignite.

But now the two sides are locked in a stalemate, because the battle has scattered wood everywhere, and now that it's on fire, there's thick smoke and flames everywhere.

The soldiers from Jiangdong were so choked by the smoke that they couldn't even open their eyes. Some were even afraid of being burned by the fire, so they just kept dodging and dodging, let alone putting up any effective resistance.

Seeing this opportunity, Mi Fang immediately launched a counterattack, and actually cut down the Jiangdong soldiers who were charging at the forefront.

At this moment, Yu Fan's men finally couldn't hold out any longer and were led by Fu Shiren to fight their way into the ranks of the Eastern Wu soldiers.

The Jiangdong soldiers were surrounded by wounded soldiers, who were unable to withstand Fu Shiren's attack and were killed on the spot.

The fear brought by the giant fireball, coupled with Fu Shiren's unstoppable attack, caused the Wu soldiers led by Lü Meng to collapse.

At this point, the soldiers were only concerned with escaping and had no intention of fighting back. Therefore, although Lü Meng led his personal guards to kill several of them, he was unable to stop the rout.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lü Meng had no choice but to head towards Xia Shui Village. He knew that as long as he crossed Xia Shui, he would be able to escape alive.

At this time, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren were busy cleaning up the mess and had no chance of pursuing them.

But since Wang Yue had already made his move, how could he possibly give Lü Meng a chance?

When Wang Yue learned that there were still Jiangdong soldiers left at Huarong Road, he immediately understood that if Lü Meng was defeated, he would definitely run there.

Therefore, after Wang Yue had already arranged for the catapults to fire fireballs, he immediately led Guan Yinping and a thousand men to Huarong Road.

Therefore, when Lü Meng and his personal guards arrived at the Xia River, they found that there were boats blocking their way.

Just as Lü Meng was about to change direction, he found a group of Jiangling soldiers blocking his way.

At this moment, Lü Meng dared not reveal his identity. He immediately led his personal guards and the soldiers who had fled with him, and rushed towards Guan Yinping without saying a word.

Lu Meng realized that the number of pursuers was not large, and that as long as they could tear a gap, they would be able to escape.

However, Lü Meng miscalculated again. Although the Zhuge Divine Crossbow had not yet been deployed to Jiangling at this time, Wang Yue had already produced a batch and equipped it to Guan Yinping's personal guards in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of these new recruits.

Therefore, even if Lü Meng jumped into the water, he might have escaped, but he deliberately charged towards Guan Yinping.

There was no need for Guan Yinping to give any orders; the crossbows unleashed a devastating barrage, instantly wiping out most of the hundreds of men led by Lü Meng.

Lu Meng, who was at the forefront, and his personal guards were almost completely wiped out. The rest, who didn't even have time to escape, threw down their weapons and surrendered immediately. Guan Yinping had no idea who her men had shot dead. Seeing that everyone was dead, she earnestly asked Wang Yue, "Strategist, what should we do next?"

Wang Yue was somewhat amused and exasperated to see that Guan Yinping had no idea who was being intercepted and had simply followed orders to come and intercept them.

However, Wang Yue also understood why Zhuge Liang devoted himself to the cause until his death; this trust was far too important.

So Wang Yue smiled and reminded him, "Why don't we check the prisoners first and see who's on the list of people who were assigned to the positions?"

Judging from their murderous aura earlier, they must be some important figures.

Guan Yinping obediently ordered her personal guard commander, Guan Bao, to interrogate him.

Interrogations at this time were far from civilized; if you didn't answer questions, you'd get a beating. So Guan Bao quickly found Lü Meng's body.

He dragged himself to Guan Yinping's side and said excitedly, "Third Miss, we just killed Lü Meng! This is his body."

Guan Yinping was also shocked and immediately went forward to take a look. Unfortunately, she did not recognize Lü Meng at all, but she also knew that something big had happened.

Therefore, Guan Yinping immediately asked Wang Yue, "Strategist, what should we do now? Lü Meng is dead. Will Jiangdong fight us to the death?"

Seeing that Guan Yinping was clearly worried, Wang Yue comforted her, saying, "General Guan took the grain supplies from Jiangdong, and Jiangdong sent people to launch a surprise attack on Jiangling. Now no one has the right to interfere."

As for Lü Meng, he can only accept his bad luck, so Miss, there's no need to worry; the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei won't break for the time being.

Guan Yinping trusted Wang Yue's words and immediately asked expectantly, "So what should we do next? Go back to find Uncle Mi?"

Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "Lu Meng still has a team monitoring Guan Hu in Huarong. Let's take that group under our control first."

Guan Yinping thought that made sense. If he could gather these soldiers together, he would have a group of well-trained soldiers under his command, which would also increase the number of his soldiers.

This time, the school's 10,000-strong force was severely weakened after a major battle, with more than 3,000 killed and even more wounded.

Guan Yinping was naturally eager for a quick replenishment, so she had someone carry Lü Meng's body and head towards Huarong.

The two armies were still locked in a stalemate on Huarong Road. Since their strengths were evenly matched and neither had received orders, the stalemate continued.

When Guan Yinping arrived with Lü Meng's body, the 2000 men surrendered immediately. After all, in their view, with their supreme commander dead, they would gain nothing by returning.

Guan Yinping was delighted to think that she had gained another 2000 men, so she prepared to go back to Sanzhai to see how the battlefield was going. This was the masterpiece of their bandit-suppressing command, and as the commander, she couldn't help but want to show off.

Wang Yue knew what Guan Yinping was thinking, so he smiled and reminded her again.

"Third Miss, why don't we also take control of Jingling, which is not far away? That way, our Anti-Bandit Guard Department will completely cut off the route from Jiangxia to Nanjun."

Fortunately, Lü Meng's body was still useful. Once they recovered, it wouldn't be easy to retrieve it, since Wen Ping of Anlu wouldn't miss this opportunity.
