Chapter 240: Soldiers pass through Ziwu Valley

"Why!"

Shortly after Cen Fang left, the bandits began to attack the city.

This time, the bandits' offensive was very fierce, even more fierce than the day during the first day. Li Zicheng did it on purpose. In his opinion, Fufeng County was his own to work harder tonight. However, what Li Zicheng did not expect was that the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not know what medicine they took, and they all regained their confidence-filled attacks.

In two hours, the number of casualties increased sharply, and Li Zicheng even doubted whether reinforcements had come to Fufeng City.

In desperation, Li Zicheng had to order the troops to retreat temporarily. As soon as Li Zicheng retreated, Wu Guofu's troops began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

At dawn the next day, Li Zicheng entered the city, but he took down an empty city. Looking at the messy and corpses everywhere in the ground, Li Zicheng felt lost. Although he took down Fufeng County, he could not feel the joy of victory in his heart. Wu Guofu suffered huge casualties and almost wiped out his entire army. In order to defend Fufeng County, he finally abandoned the city and fled.

In Li Zicheng's consciousness, Wu Guofu is not such a person. Others may abandon the city and run for life, but Wu Guofu would not do this. As a veteran in northern Sichuan, he gradually got from the bottom to his current position, and he was climbed up with real military merits. People like Wu Guofu, even if they died in battle, would probably not abandon the city and run for life.

Li Zicheng was a little worried, but now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Fufeng County had already taken down. Next, the main army of Wugong County was withdrawn from Fengxiang. On the one hand, someone sent to send a letter to Hua Xiaorong, and on the other hand, Li Zicheng also sent someone to pay attention to Tuobuhua's cavalry. After learning that Tuobuhua's cavalry was dragged 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 in addition to being decisive and ruthless in doing things, another reason is that he is very confident.

Li Zicheng stood on the top of the city and looked into the east. Perhaps because of the long-term war, the sky was filled with a strong smell of blood, and even the air was a little confused, and the things in the field of vision were a little blurred.

Behind Li Zicheng, there was a burly young man standing. His figure and appearance were somewhat similar to Li Zicheng. This person was Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo. Although Li Guo was young, he fought bravely after Li Zicheng's attack and made many military achievements. Over time, he was called "a tiger" by the soldiers in the army.

A tiger is the most concise and appropriate summary of Li Guo. Li Zicheng also loves this nephew very much and almost treats Li Guo as his son to raise him. Therefore, whenever there is something important, the first thing Li Zicheng thinks of is Li Guo.

"After, you will take some people to the north to guard!"

"Uh" Li Guo touched his head in surprise and smiled bitterly: "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 20,000 troops under his command, and he still has the cavalry that cannot be convinced by Tuobuhua?"

"There shouldn't be a problem, but the tens of thousands of troops in Wugong County are too important to us. If something goes wrong with Li Yangchun and doesn't block Tubuhua, then we will have great trouble. In short, be prepared and it will be better to deal with it temporarily after something goes wrong." Li Zicheng turned around and patted Li Guo's shoulder, "You go here, don't be reckless and just guard the official road in the north. Don't think about helping Li Yangchun. Your task is to ensure that Tubuhua's cavalry will not rush up along the official road and block Tubuhua's mission. Li Yangchun is responsible for it."

"Okay!" Li Guo nodded helplessly, but he didn't agree. His uncle was just too cautious. The cavalry under Tuobuhua's command was not three heads and six arms. Li Yangchun had so many people, but could he still not trap him?

But this is no wonder my uncle. Since the rebel army's uprising, no one has ever suffered the loss of the Living Hell. He will naturally be more careful about the soldiers and horses of the Living Hell.

......

After Fufeng County was captured by the peasant army, Hua Xiaorong quickly ordered the various troops to evacuate Wugong County in an orderly manner. Just one day later, Wugong County became an empty city. Hua Xiaorong's troops blocked the pursuers and retreated to Fufeng County. Due to the large number of peasant army, the officers and soldiers pursued from behind and did not get a good idea for a while.

It's strange that the peasant army tried hard to retreat to Fufeng County, but Hua Xiaorong, who led the troops, was stuck in the middle of the team, looking calm. In fact, Hua Xiaorong was very hesitant whether to go to Fufeng County as soon as possible.

In the eyes of Li Zicheng and others, Hua Xiaorong has always been a reckless person, but Hua Xiaorong is not reckless. In fact, he has a lot of thoughts, but he knows better about disguise and few people can see it. Among the rebels, there are many things about intrigue and intrigue. Hua Xiaorong himself does not have much ambition, so he has tried his best to hide his weakness, so he will not become a thorn in other people's eyes.

This time the incident in Fufeng County made Hua Xiaorong uneasy. Li Zicheng captured Fufeng County too quickly. When did the veteran Wu Guofu, a Sichuan general, become so useless? I heard that Wu Guofu still took the initiative to abandon the city and escape.

In the early years, Hua Xiaorong had heard of many deeds of Wu Guofu. This old general Wu was definitely not a person who was afraid of death. Because of various reasons, Hua Xiaorong felt that there was something wrong with Fufeng County. Fufeng County seemed to be a gap in life escape, but it might be a bloody mouth.

Hua Xiaorong deliberately asked his confidants to slow down their retreat speed and get stuck in the middle, so that there is more buffering time. No matter what happens in front or behind, there will be a time to react.

.........

The autumn sun is no longer so hot, but on the contrary, it is a hint of coolness. At this time, a vast cavalry appeared on the banks of the Xishui River in Hanzhong. The cavalry slowly walked on the riverside path, and the long team could not see the end at a glance.

In the Hanzhong Prefecture, at this time, not only did Hanzhong Prefect He Jingyuan, the prefect of Fengxiang Prefecture, but also Gao Wenjian, the former governor of Fengxiang. Since escaping from Fengxiang Prefecture, Gao Wenjian has been hiding in Hanzhong Prefecture, waiting for the imperial court's order. He Jingyuan and Gao Wenjian are fellow villagers and senior friends. After many years of old friends, they kept Gao Wenjian here forever. However, the court has been frustrated by the peasant army recently. In addition, some people from the six ministries deliberately downplayed Gao Wenjian's affairs, and the court forgot Gao Wenjian aside.

Gao Wenjian and He Jingyuan were waiting for the imperial decree, but the decree did not come, but a shocking news came. A huge cavalry followed Hanyin, passed Ziwu Valley, and arrived at the bank of Xishui River.

For a moment, Gao Wenjian and He Jingyuan were both panicked. If the bandits rushed over, they would still be in their lives? After sending someone to inquire, they would know where the cavalry came from.
