Not long after Cen Fang left, the bandits began to attack the city.
This time, the rebels' offensive was very fierce, even more fierce than the first day during the day. Li Zicheng did it deliberately. In his opinion, if he works harder tonight, Fufeng County will be his. However, what Li Zicheng did not expect
Yes, the officers and soldiers guarding the city didn't know what kind of medicine they had taken, and each one of them, as if they were coming back to their senses, repulsed their confident attack.
Within two hours, the number of casualties increased sharply, and Li Zicheng even wondered if reinforcements had arrived in Fufeng City.
In desperation, Li Zicheng could only order a temporary withdrawal of troops. As soon as Li Zicheng withdrew, Wu Guofu's troops also began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
At dawn the next day, Li Zicheng entered the city, but what he captured was an empty city. Looking at the messy Fufeng County town with corpses strewn in the fields, Li Zicheng felt lost. Although he captured Fufeng County, he could not feel any victory in his heart.
Wu Guofu paid huge casualties and almost wiped out his entire army just to defend Fufeng County, but in the end he took the initiative to abandon the city and escape.
In Li Zicheng's mind, Wu Guofu was not this kind of person. Others might abandon the city and flee for their lives, but Wu Guofu would not do that. As a veteran of northern Sichuan, he had stepped from the bottom to his current position step by step, relying on his solid military exploits.
People like Wu Guofu who climbed up would probably not abandon the city and flee for their lives, even if they died in battle.
Li Zicheng was a little worried, but now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Fufeng County had been captured. The next step was to coordinate the main force of Wugong County to withdraw to Fengxiang. On one side, he sent people to deliver a message to Hua Xiaorong, and on the other side, Li Zicheng also sent people to pay attention to the escape.
Buhua's cavalry. After learning that Tuobuhua's cavalry was dragged to the point of being unable to move by Li Yangchun, Li Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as this cavalry is held back, even if there is any accident, Li Zicheng can handle it. It can be said that Li Zicheng can achieve today's achievements not only because he is decisive and ruthless, but also because he is very confident.
Li Zicheng stood on the top of the city and looked to the east. Perhaps because of the long war, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Even the air was a little hazy, and things in his field of vision were a little blurry.
Behind Li Zicheng, stood a burly young man. This man's appearance was somewhat similar to Li Zicheng's. This man was Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo. Although Li Guo was young, he became more mature after following Li Zicheng's uprising.
He fought bravely and made many military exploits. Over time, he was called "a tiger" by the army's sergeants.
A fierce tiger, this is the most concise and appropriate summary of Li Guo. Li Zicheng also loved this nephew very much and almost raised Li Guo as his own son. Therefore, whenever something important happened, the first thing Li Zicheng thought of was
Li Guo.
"Later, take some people to the north to guard it later!"
"Um" Li Guo touched his head in astonishment and said with a wry smile: "What's the use of stationing in the north? Uncle, are you worried about Li Yangchun? I think there should be no problem, Li Yangchun has nearly two people under his command.
Tens of thousands of troops, how can they still deal with the cavalry who can’t take off their clothes?”
"Normally there should be no problem, but the tens of thousands of troops in Wugong County are too important to us. If anything goes wrong with Li Yangchun and he is not blocked, we will be in big trouble. Anyway, be prepared. Anyway,
It's better to deal with it temporarily after something goes wrong." Li Zicheng turned around and patted Li Guo on the shoulder, "When you go, don't be reckless. Just guard the official road to the north. Don't even think about helping Li Yangchun. Yours
The mission is to ensure that Tuobuhua’s cavalry does not rush along the official road and to block Tuobuhua’s mission, Li Yangchun is responsible for it.”
"Okay!" Li Guo nodded helplessly, but he didn't agree in his heart. His uncle was just too cautious. He couldn't get rid of the few cavalry under his command, and he didn't have three heads and six arms. With so many people like Li Yangchun, how could he still be trapped?
But this is no wonder for my uncle. Since the rebel uprising, who has not suffered the consequences of the Living King of Hell? Naturally, he will pay more attention to the soldiers and horses of the Living King of Hell.
...
After Fufeng County was captured by the peasant army, Hua Xiaorong quickly ordered all ministries to evacuate Wugong County in an orderly manner. After only one day, Wugong County became an empty city. Hua Xiaorong's troops blocked the pursuing troops while moving toward
Fufeng County withdrew. Because the peasant army had too many troops, the officers and soldiers pursued them from behind, but they did not get any relief for a while.
Strange to say, the peasant army was desperately trying to withdraw towards Fufeng County, but Hua Xiaorong, who was leading the army, was caught in the middle of the army, looking unhurried. In fact, Hua Xiaorong was very hesitant.
Do you want to go to Fufeng County quickly?
In the eyes of Li Zicheng and others, Hua Xiaorong has always been a reckless and taciturn person, but Hua Xiaorong is not reckless. In fact, he has a lot of thoughts. It's just that he knows how to disguise and few people can see it. Among the rebels, there are intrigues and intrigues.
There are not many things going on. Hua Xiaorong himself does not have much ambition, so he has been trying his best to hide his clumsiness so as not to become a thorn in others' eyes.
What happened in Fufeng County this time made Hua Xiaorong uneasy. Li Zicheng captured Fufeng County too fast. When did Wu Guofu, the veteran northern Sichuan general, become such a loser? I heard that Wu Guofu abandoned the city and fled on his own initiative.
In the early years, Hua Xiaorong heard about Wu Guofu's many deeds. This old general Wu was definitely not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. For various reasons, Hua Xiaorong felt that there was something wrong with things in Fufeng County, and Fufeng County seemed to be an escape hole.
, maybe it’s a bloody mouth.
Hua Xiaorong deliberately asked his cronies to slow down their retreat and be sandwiched in the middle, so that there would be more buffer time. No matter if something happened in front or behind, they would have time to react.

The autumn sun is no longer so hot, but instead has a hint of coolness. At this time, a huge group of cavalry appeared on the banks of the Xishui River in Hanzhong. The cavalry walked slowly along the riverside path, and the long team could not be seen to the end.
Hanzhong Mansion. At this time, there were not only He Jingyuan, the prefect of Hanzhong, but also Gao Wenjian, the former prefect of Fengxiang. Since escaping from Fengxiang Mansion, Gao Wenjian has been hiding in Hanzhong Mansion, waiting for the imperial decree. He Jingyuan and Gao Wenjian are from the same hometown and have been friends for many years.
After making friends, Gao Wenjian was left here to stay. However, the court was recently troubled by the peasant army, and some people in the Sixth Department deliberately downplayed Gao Wenjian's affairs, so the court temporarily forgot about Gao Wenjian.
Gao Wenjian and He Jingyuan had been waiting for the imperial decree, but instead of the decree coming, they received shocking news. A huge cavalry troop followed Hanyin, passed the Ziwu Valley, and arrived at the bank of the Xishui River.
For a moment, Gao Wenjian and He Jingyuan were all panicked. If the thieves were charging at them, would they still be alive? After sending someone to inquire, they found out where the cavalry came from.
This cavalry of more than 3,000 people turned out to be people sent by Yun Mansion's garrison Tie Mo.
