The soldiers led by Gada are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, but no matter how fierce the veteran is, he will still be afraid when facing a certain death situation.
As soon as the battle started, enemy soldiers kept laying down their weapons and surrendering.
Unfortunately, Niu Ben didn't seem to see it, and the escort didn't stop attacking for a moment.
Seeing that surrender was impossible, the enemy launched a frantic counterattack against the escort.
However, heavy crossbows and catapults formed a dense fire blockade. No matter how crazy they were, they could not rush through.
The battle lasted from morning to mid-afternoon, and the tens of thousands of Eastern Expedition troops led by Gada were all buried in the canyon!
No one is spared!
It was only then that Niu Ben felt that the hostility suppressed in his heart had finally dissipated.
"Send a message to Miss Mu Lan and ask her to gather the people to transport the supplies back!"
……⑧①ZW.????m
In Xichuan City, Qing Mulan has been waiting for news since Niu Ben left.
However, in order to prevent Gada from escaping, Niu Ben did not pursue the enemy directly, but instead planned an ambush.
This process took several days.
Qing Mulan had trouble sleeping and eating these days, and had to run to the pigeon house several times every day.
After waiting for so long, she finally got the news.
Qing Mulan's eyes turned red with excitement when he learned that Niu Ben had wiped out all the enemies.
"Amei, send someone quickly to call Young Master Zhou!"
After the Battle of Damangpo, Jin Feng invested and opened several factories in Zhou Youda's hometown.
But not long after these factories were put into operation, Gada called again.
Fortunately, Meng Tianhai had been wary of Ga Da for a long time and sent someone to notify Zhou Youda in advance and asked him to go into the city to escape.
However, Zhou Youda felt that there were too many workers in the factory and there was no place to live in the city. They would easily be discriminated against by the city residents, so he did not agree. Instead, he asked the workers to dismantle the equipment and fled into the mountains with them to hide.
Zhou Youda's decision allowed most workers to escape disaster.
The soldiers led by Gada were mainly cavalry and were not good at activities in the mountains and forests, so they never entered the mountains.
It was not until Niu Ben and his bodyguards regained control of Xichuan City that Zhou Youda led the workers out of the mountains.
Xichuan City was plundered by Gada, and the people suffered heavy casualties. Post-disaster reconstruction still had to be carried out. There were not enough manpower, so Qing Mulan wanted Zhou Youda to take people to transport the supplies back.
When Zhou Youda learned that Qing Mulan was looking for him, he quickly put down his work and came over.
Helping transport some supplies was not a big deal. Qing Mulan thought Zhou Youda would definitely agree, but after she finished speaking, she saw Zhou Youda shook his head.
"Master Zhou, the enemy has been completely wiped out by Niu Ben. There will be no danger."
Qing Mulan thought Zhou Youda was scared and quickly explained.
"Miss Mu Lan, I'm not afraid of danger, but I think we should organize the surviving people in the city to do this."
"But they have just experienced the loss of their family. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let them go to work at this time, right?"
"No, I think it's very suitable!"
Zhou Youda said: "Miss Mu Lan, I have experienced this kind of pain, and I can understand the pain of the people in the city.
The best comfort for them now is the blood of their enemies!
Let them see what happened to their enemies, so that we can help them get out of the nightmare!"
"That makes sense!"
Qing Mulan nodded slightly after listening.
Not to mention others, even she wanted to see the battlefield when she heard that Niu Ben had wiped out all the enemies.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, it must be the same for other people.
"Thank you for your advice, sir!"
Qing Mulan hugged Zhou Youda and ordered people to go to various districts in the city to recruit volunteers.
Just as Zhou Youda expected, Xichuan City quickly boiled after learning that Niu Ben had wiped out all the enemies.
In fact, Qing Mulan's recruitment of people this time is considered a kind of corvee.
If it were normal times, the people would definitely be complaining, but this time almost every person who got the news immediately put down their work and came to apply.
In less than an hour, Qing Mulan had recruited enough people.
Early the next morning, the people left the city, and many people who had not been recruited followed behind.
The mighty procession stretched for more than ten miles.
Arriving at the canyon where the battlefield was, countless people knelt on the ground and howled.
They were not frightened by the bloody scenes in the canyon, because after the enemy broke through the city, the scene in the city was more terrifying than in the canyon, and they could accept it.
They are all excited.
Because the enemies got their due retribution, their shame and hatred were released.
Looking at the black flag flying at the top of the canyon, several excited people suddenly kowtowed to the black flag.
He was still shouting, "Long live Zhenyuan Escort Agency!" "Long live Mr. Jin!"
In the feudal era, "Long Live" was not just shouted casually.
Only the emperor can bear this title. Calling other people long live is almost tantamount to rebellion.
But at this time, the people of Xichuan were all on top, and they could not care about this. Seeing someone taking the lead, more people followed and kowtowed to the black flag.
For a moment, shouts of "Long live Zhenyuan Escort Bureau!" and "Long live Mr. Jin!" resounded throughout the mountains and fields.
Zhou Youda, who was following behind, saw this and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Xichuan has always been the base camp of the Qing family. After experiencing the Battle of Damang Slope, Jin Feng gained the support of the people outside the city, but his influence in the city is still far less than that of the Qing family.
Now that Zhou Youda has completely surrendered to Jin Feng, he naturally has to consider Jin Feng when doing things.
Zhou Youda believes that after this incident, the influence of Zhenyuan Escort Agency and Jin Feng in the city will quickly surpass that of the Qing family!
This was another reason why he suggested Qing Mulan.
Now it seems that his goal has been achieved.
No, this result was better than he expected.
…
In Xihewan, Jin Feng also received Niu Ben's battle report.
"Tubo is finished!" The Ninth Princess put down the battle report and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Without Gada's check and balance, Tubo will definitely fall into division again. It is estimated that within a few decades, there will be no time to bother us again!"
"Tubo has been decided, Brother Liang has occupied Yuguan City, now it's up to the party!" Jin Feng turned to look northwest: "What's the situation now in Xizhou?"
"It's still the same as a few days ago. We are currently in a confrontation." The Ninth Princess replied helplessly.
A few days ago, Tieniu rushed to Xizhou with a hot air balloon and grenades, and the Zhenyuan Army, which was confronting Dang Xiang's southern expeditionary army, immediately launched an attack.
But then they discovered that the Southern Expedition Army was almost an empty shell.
Except for the team that faced them on the surface, the main force had secretly withdrawn.
Tieniu was so angry that he jumped up and immediately led the Zhenyuan Army in pursuit.
However, after pursuing them all the way to Dangxiang territory, they still could not catch up with the enemy. Tieniu did not dare to go deep alone, so he had to station the Zhenyuan Army at the border and at the same time conveyed Jin Feng's request to Dangxiang.
"Counting the time, it's time for Dangxiang to reply." Ninth Princess said: "With the style of the Dangxiang royal family, I'm afraid they won't agree to your request."
"Then beat them until they agree!" Jin Feng said coldly: "By the way, have King Wu and King Chu replied?"
"No," Ninth Princess shook her head.
"They are all a bunch of guys who won't shed tears until they see the coffin!"
