Chapter 157 There are chasing troops in the back, and there are interceptions in the front
At this time, the village was already in chaos.
The grain and grass that Zhang Bao lit burned violently, and also ignited the wood piled nearby.
The entire village was suddenly in flames.
Even if those patrolling troops discovered it in time, there would not be enough water to put out the fire.
I could only watch the food and grass being burned.
Zhang Guanxi heard the commotion and hurried over.
He looked coldly at the food and grass that was about to be burned to ashes, without saying a word.
To know.
In a cottage, it is impossible for a fire to break out for no reason.
There is no other possibility except that someone deliberately set the fire.
And this time it was set on fire.
It must be related to that military prince.
"go!"
"Go to the dungeon and see if that person is still there."
Zhang Guanxi ordered Ma Han.
Mahan responded and left.
He ran back after a while.
"Report to the General!"
"The man ran away and killed two of us!"
Zhang Guanxi's eyelids twitched violently.
really!
That Guan Xi was locked up in a dungeon, how could he escape?
There must be a traitor!
Unexpectedly, people in the county government are so capable of planting traitors within their rebel army.
It seems that the county government is prepared for today's attack on the county government, and it must be related to this person.
This person will not be eliminated.
There will be no chance in the future.
Zhang Guanxi frowned and thought.
"Send the order!"
"General Nan immediately led his men down the mountain to pursue him!"
"Let the people at the bottom of the mountain guard and guard at all intersections and checkpoints to catch people."
"They must still be within our range of Erlong Mountain."
Zhang Guanxi immediately gave the order.
The most important thing at this time is to recover the lost chips.
As for the traitor, there will be plenty of opportunities for him to come out on his own later.
When everyone heard this, they took action one after another.
at the same time.
Zhang Bao carried Ma Yuanming on his back and went down the mountain with Ma Yaner.
However, the mountain road is rugged and it is difficult to move.
By the time they were about to rush out, all the checkpoints under the mountain had been blocked.
And looking from a distance, there were many torches surrounding the mountain.
If this continues, even if they hide.
Once those people follow the blood trail, they can catch up.
"You stay here and I'll get two horses first!"
Zhang Bao placed Ma Yuanming under a tree and quietly approached a bonfire with three or four people sitting not far ahead.
Ma Yan'er looked at the torches getting closer and closer, and Ma Yuanming's breath getting weaker and weaker in her arms.
Liu Shen Wuzhu, who was already panicking.
He could only stare in the direction Zhang Bao left.
Fortunately, it won't be long.
There was a sound of horses neighing.
Zhang Bao ran over with two horses.
"I'll divert those people away from the side, and you two will rush back to the county capital as soon as possible."
"Someone has already heard the noise and came over."
"quick!"
Zhang Bao helped Ma Yuanming onto the horse, got on the horse himself, and ran to the side.
After Zhang Bao left, Ma Yaner used the faint moonlight to discover a row of blood stains in the direction Zhang Bao left.
Zhang Bao was injured?
Ma Yan'er's heart suddenly tightened.
Think about it, you want to kill so many people silently in a short period of time.
How can you not pay a certain price?
Ma Yan'er was feeling distressed when she heard a burst of shouts from people and horses coming from the direction next to her.
Ma Yaner didn't dare to stay any longer. This was the opportunity Zhang Bao fought for for her with all his life.
I immediately wiped away my tears.
He got on his horse and ran towards the county government with Ma Yuanming.
Ma Yaner ran and cried.
Her head was completely numb at this time.
My body was exhausted, and my heart was full of guilt for Zhang Bao.
Why did I do that to him?
It's obviously not his fault!
I owe him too much.
Zhang Bao!
You must not let anything happen to you!
Ma Yan'er ran with tears streaming down her face.
I don't know how long I ran.
Suddenly I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
Ma Yaner was immediately shocked.
I thought they were pursued by soldiers.
Look sideways.
When he found out it was Zhang Bao, he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to slow down and wait for Zhang Bao to catch up.
"Don't stop!"
"Run!"
Zhang Bao roared loudly.
Only then did Ma Yaner notice.
Behind Zhang Bao, there was a group of people chasing him hard.
Ma Yaner didn't dare to delay.
The two rode horses and galloped all the way.
We are about to arrive at the county capital.
But they discovered that there was a military camp outside the county capital.
There are many torches inside.
There are many patrolling figures in the distance.
Zhang Baoyi gritted his teeth.
"accelerate!"
"Rush over!"
The two of them whipped the horse's butt hard several times, and the horse neighed and rushed toward the camp in front.
At this time, we were in the rebel camp.
General Wang Anzheng of the East was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
Among the four generals under Zhang Guanxi.
He, General Dong, is the latest one. Before that, he was a commander under General Dong.
However, the previous General Dong was seriously injured and died while being surrounded by the governor of Xihe County.
He just took his place.
But since he, General Dong, came to power.
I have never had any impressive results.
Among the generals, he has always been a low-key person.
Although every time I deliberately argue, I don't want the other three to look down on me, but I have never had any hard power, and it is not a long-term solution.
So this time.
That's why he desperately wants to take down the Sanhe County government.
But I didn’t expect that I would fall short in the end.
Until now.
Wang An was able to understand a little bit why Zhang Guanxi had to go to great lengths to lure the snake out of its hole and capture him alive as a bargaining chip.
The guards at this county are truly extraordinary!
There are only a few hundred of them here now.
If the numbers were equal, the rebels would not dare to fight head-on.
The difference in strength is still very obvious.
One's own family knows one's own affairs.
Although the number of people under Wang An and others has increased a lot, these people are not wrong to be called a rabble.
Today's attack on the city resulted in the loss of more than 200 people.
And Zhang Guanxi ordered not to attack.
The equivalent of two hundred people was lost in vain.
The more Wang An thought about it, the more angry he became.
I can't wait to gather the troops immediately and attack the city again.
Just when Wang An was irritated.
Suddenly I heard a noise outside.
Wang An suddenly became angry.
Now they are camped side by side with the Western Army Zhou Fuqing and others. With so much noise here, doesn't it make Zhou Fuqing feel that he is unable to lead his troops?
He immediately walked out angrily.
"What's going on?!"
"Why are you so frustrated?!"
Wang An shouted loudly.
"General Qi!"
"Just now, two people rode through the camp."
"It was so dark that the brothers thought they were one of our own and didn't pay attention..."
