Yuan Ma hurriedly hurried, but in the end it was too late. After meeting the defeated troops who had escaped, Yuan Ma's heart sank completely when he heard that the officers and soldiers had captured the Bai Family Courtyard.
Especially after knowing that the troops attacking the Bai Family Courtyard were the troops of the Living King of Hell, Yuan Malian had no intention of retaking the Bai Family Courtyard. In this troubled world, Yuan Ma, who was cruel and cannibalistic and was not tolerated by most people, could survive.
, there are also some reasons.
Yuan Ma is cruel and ferocious, and can eat people without spitting out their bones, but at the same time, he will not force things when things cannot be done, and he never does anything he is not sure about, and he will never look down on anyone. It is precisely because of these qualities that he can succeed in his career.
If you survive in this troubled world, you can still occupy a place among the bandits.
At least, Yuan Ma is much smarter than the Demon King King Kong.
Cao Bianjiao wanted to behead Yuan Ma alive, so when he heard that there was movement in the Bai family compound, he quickly led his men to chase him, but he was still a step too late. Yuan Ma actually escaped from Mizhi City a quarter of an hour ago
, there is not a single living gangster near the Bai family compound at the moment.
"Damn it, you actually let this beast get away!"
Cao Bianjiao secretly swore in his heart that he would kill Yuan Ma with his own hands in the future, otherwise it would be difficult to get rid of the hatred in his heart.
Cao Bianjiao, who couldn't catch Yuan Ma, walked to the gate of Bai's courtyard in a depressed mood. When he saw the broken wall in the distance, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart. The loud noise before was really real, even worse than Hongyi's.
The cannon was still firing, and with just one blast, the wall collapsed.
Hey, it seems that these Zhang Bei soldiers and horses have a lot of good things hidden in their hands. Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by a few soldiers guarding the door.
Cao Bianjiao was depressed, and immediately said angrily: "What do you mean? Is it possible that the general can't enter yet?"
"I'm sorry, Boss Cao and Boss Sha Qian are dealing with important matters inside. No one is allowed to enter the Bai family compound for the time being!"
"What the hell?" Cao Bianjiao had a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart. You just entered the city, and you have something important to do? It must be something shameful. The more this happened, the more Cao Bianjiao wanted to go in.
In the blink of an eye, there was a conflict between the two sides. Fortunately, Sha Diao's hearing had recovered. When he heard the noise outside, he came out and welcomed Cao Bianjiao in.
As the sand sculpture entered the courtyard, Cao Bianjiao was confused by the scene in front of him after a while. He saw many Zhang Bei soldiers moving boxes onto the cart. One of the boxes had a crack, and he glanced at it.
Then he knew that it was filled with gold and silver treasures.
This is the first time Cao Bianjiao has encountered this. Are you here to suppress bandits, or are you here to search for property?
If Liaodong was guarding the soldiers and horses, Cao Bianjiao would have slapped him in the face. As an officer and soldier, how could he do such a thing? Unfortunately, these people in front of him are Zhangbei's soldiers and horses. Even if something happens, it won't be Cao's turn.
Pointing fingers.
"Mr. Sha Qian, what are you..."
"Oh, the Bai family has business relations with the Chang family. Last year, Miss Chang deposited a lot of supplies with the Bai family. This time, I was entrusted by Miss Chang to bring these supplies back to Zhangbei."
"Who...who is Miss Chang? She is an elite member of the Xuanfu, why do you listen to her?" Naturally, Cao Bianjiao didn't believe this nonsense. Even a fool would not believe it.
Sha Diao rolled his eyes and sighed meaningfully, "Well...Miss Chang is very close to my general. My general won't listen to her matters."
"There is still this matter? But how can you prove that these things belong to the Chang family?"
Sha Diao couldn't help but get a little angry. Just ask a few questions. Do you really care about it? Sha Diao thinks that General Cao is very ignorant and will suffer a big loss.
...
On the banks of the Sanchuan River, late at night, the officers and soldiers who had been resting suddenly launched a fierce attack on a group of bandit soldiers stationed by the river. This attack was as fast as the wind. After the sneak attack was successful, the officers and soldiers quickly withdrew.
Li Yangchun was a little confused about the meaning of the officers and soldiers. He finally succeeded in a sneak attack and retreated after killing about 20 people. What kind of trouble was this? This was a war, not playing house.
But no matter what, after what happened, Li Yangchun was not sleepy at all, and even many soldiers did not dare to sleep deeply, for fear that the officers and soldiers would cause trouble again.
Wang Yan was the one who couldn't bear the loss. He led his men to Gaopo that night, intending to sneak attack the officers and soldiers. However, as soon as he reached Gaopo, he was beaten down by the people who were ambushing on the slope.
Wang Yan felt very aggrieved. He had just been slapped by someone. He tried to find a place to calm down, but was kicked again.
In the tent, Wang Yan flew into a rage and cursed a lot. Li Yangchun said in a dumbfounded voice: "I told you not to let you go, but you insist on going. The officers and soldiers are here. They can sneak attack us, so why don't we guard against this move?"
Huh? Just bear with it a little longer, and after daybreak, we will teach these officers and soldiers a lesson."
"Hey, King, I just can't swallow this breath."
In the dreary atmosphere, dawn ushered in. When the morning sun rose, after seeing clearly the situation on the high slope, Li Yangchun's eyes changed and he cried out in pain.
The officers and soldiers were fooled. At this time, except for dozens of dummies and unburned torches, there was no trace of a human being on the high slope. After crossing the high slope and advancing into Wu Fort, the town was also deserted.
The officers and soldiers withdrew, and they withdrew so simply.
Looking at the empty streets of Wubao, Li Yangchun suddenly changed his expression, stamped his feet and shouted: "No...Mizhi..."
In fact, it is not difficult to guess how the officers and soldiers exited Shaanxi and returned to the old camp. There was no need to carry out sneak attacks and use so many fancy feints. The only explanation for these feints was that they wanted to secretly infiltrate Chen Cang.
Sure enough, the spies sent out soon came back with news that Yuan Ma had been defeated and Mizhi had fallen.
Now that the officers and soldiers occupied Mizhi, and connected with Linxian to the east, they could advance, retreat, or defend. Li Yangchun let out a long sigh, one mistake and everything was lost. Why didn't he expect that the officers and soldiers would sneak attack on Mizhi?
After the fall of Mizhi, Li Yangchun had no choice but to order a retreat. All troops retreated to Ganquan and Ansai. In order to ensure sufficient troops around Yan'an Prefecture, he also voluntarily abandoned the two county towns of Qingjian and Suide.
It seems that giving up Qingjian and Suide is a bit stupid, but in fact it is a truly smart move. Now that the soldiers and horses of the three towns have entered Mizhi, Qingjian and Suide are next to Mizhi and face being attacked at any time.
of danger.
Each city is guarded by people. If the troops are scattered, it will be easy for the officers and soldiers to defeat them individually. Li Yangchun understands his own situation very well. Although Yuan Ma is not popular, the soldiers and horses led by Yuan Ma can really fight.
Otherwise, he would not be allowed to defend Mizhi City. In comparison, the combat effectiveness of the other troops is far behind.
With the fighting power of the rebel army, five thousand people guarding a county town may seem worry-free, but in fact it is very worrying.
