: Getting away

In Anqing City, most of the peasant soldiers in the city were sleeping soundly, and even those patrolling outside were absent-minded. Except for attacking Anqing City before the New Year, the officers and soldiers had no movement after the New Year. In fact, this is normal. The officers and soldiers attacked Anqing several times, but they all returned in a bad situation. There was no benefit, and it would be meaningless to attack Anqing.

Because of this, from He Yishan to Feng Cen and to the minions below, they all looked at peace with peace of mind and relaxed their defense. When something strange happened to Huilin Town, the soldiers on the city had not yet reacted for a while. Seeing the fire on Huilin Town, the team came to their senses and kicked the guy who was still snoring next to him, "Don't sleep, don't sleep, Huilin Town is attacked, the officers and soldiers are going to attack Anqing. You... Go and notify Leader He, and you, tell the brothers at the city gate that they are ready to pick up Huilin Town's brothers into the city at any time."

The team leader did not think that the less than a thousand soldiers in Huilin Town could resist the attack of the officers and soldiers. The troops arranged on the outer side were originally used for warning, and it was almost impossible to expect them to block the officers and soldiers. Therefore, a long time ago, Anqing City had formulated a relatively mature plan. As long as there was danger on the outer side, Anqing City would respond in time. In this way, not only did Anqing City have enough time to deal with the attack of officers and soldiers, but the soldiers and soldiers on the outer side would not lose too much.

The team leader also acted as planned, but he didn't expect Huilin Town to be taken down by the officers and soldiers an hour ago. If he knew this, he would not have issued such an order. Huilin Town was taken down by the officers and soldiers at the left and right time, and the arrows came to the sky in the middle of the ugly time. It was obvious that there was a problem. It can only be said that Anqing City is too confident in this internal and external defense system, and no one would think that the officers and soldiers could take Huilin Town quietly.

When the news reached the government office, He Yishan was lying on the couch and slept soundly. Recently, He Yishan was not at all easy. Hangzhou has been targeted by the Living Hell King. The King of Chuang will withdraw from Hangzhou Prefecture and return to the Central Plains in the near future. In this way, Anqing is particularly important. During the day, Feng Cen and others came to discuss the arrangements behind. In short, it is necessary to look at the officers and soldiers in Qianshan area. Once this officer and soldier pours into Chizhou Prefecture, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Central dispatch is not an easy job, because once something goes wrong, he will be the one who will take responsibility. In two days, Feng Cen will take some of his troops to the south to guard the situation, so that one south and one north can ensure that everything is foolproof. In this area, only Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Shujian's soldiers are the soldiers. Although the Living King of Hell is terrible, his army is still rushing to the queen and eating dust, and will not be able to control the affairs of Chizhou Prefecture for a while.

The heavy knock on the door made He Yishan feel upset. He had not had a rest for nearly twenty hours. He was awakened at this time. How could he not be angry? Put on his clothes and opened the door angrily. He cursed at the minion who was passing the message: "When is the time for something that is not open? I don't know if I need to rest? How big can it be? Look at how yelling you, how can it be?"

The minion gasped and bowed his hands to give a bow. Then he said panic: "He, there was an arrow warning in Huilin Town just now, and the fire was soaring into the sky. I think the officers and soldiers have taken action against Huilin Town."

"Hmm? Is there such a thing?" He Yishan didn't care about cursing, washed his face quickly and hurried out. He Yishan was not worried about the safety of Anqing City, and he was still very confident in his deployment. However, it was a bit surprising for the officers and soldiers to attack Huilin Town at this time. When they arrived at the intersection of Nancheng Road, they saw a big man leading a dozen soldiers over. When they looked closely, they found that it was Feng Cen.

"Brother He, do you know too? It's really weird. At this time, the officers and soldiers attack Huilin Town. Are you sick?" Feng Cen hated the group of officers and soldiers, and they didn't even sleep well. Walking up to the city and looking into the distance, he saw a firelight in the distance getting closer and closer to Huilin Town. Judging from the situation, the guards of Huilin Town should have retreated. He Yishan tilted his lips and looked at Feng Cen with a wry smile, "Brother, please take people to pick them up, but you want to see what these officers and soldiers want to do. I really think that they can capture Anqing City by sneak attacking at night? In my opinion, Cao Wenzhao and those people were forced to look at them."

Feng Cen nodded with a smile and bowed with confidence: "Brother He, don't worry, Feng guarantees that the officer and soldier cannot reach the city." Feng Cen dared to say such words, it was not a joke. In order to deal with the officers and soldiers, many fortifications were built outside Anqing City. The houses and temporary walls were like a miniature city. These walls cooperated with the city walls to guard Anqing City as solid as a soup.

If Tie Mo was there, he would have been very surprised, because the peasant army had a wall around Anqing City, which was similar to the bunkers in later generations. He Yishan came up with such an idea, and was forced out. The musketeers of the officers and soldiers were really amazing. When He Yishan was traversing northern Shaanxi, he didn't suffer much. Later, he met musketeers under the command of the Living King of Hell in Shanxi. In that battle, He Yishan was beaten to pieces by musketeers. Later, he thought hard and figured out such an idea. I hid behind the wall, dug a few small holes, and shot arrows from the small holes.

He Yishan's method of dealing with the troops of the Yun Mansion was originally used to deal with Cao Wenzhao and others. Cao Wenzhao also sent troops to attack Anqing City, but he suffered a lot under Anqing City. He Yishan's method was useless and damaged the people and money. He looked stupid, but it was miraculous. If Anqing City was not really difficult to fight, Cao Wenzhao would not have always thought about sneak attacks. It would be a head-on attack and hopelessness.

In just half a stick of incense, a bustling sound came from the city of Anqing. Sure enough, hundreds of peasant soldiers escaped back in disgrace. These people were all dressed in disarray and looked embarrassed. Behind, some people were entangled by officers and soldiers, screaming endlessly. After passing the narrow path, a strong man waved a big blade and shouted: "People in front, prepare bows, arrows, muskets, thieves are very powerful, and they will be beaten back."

Feng Cen was ready, and made a gesture to let everyone pass quickly. The archer and musketman were also ready. Soon, a team of officers and soldiers emerged, and the arrows and muskets were fired, causing the officers and soldiers to dodge everywhere. After a while, a fierce general raised the torch and scolded loudly: "Damn it, you're lucky. Let you live two more days first. He Yishan, I know you are here, listen to me, your head is my master sooner or later, wash my neck and wait."

The torch reflected the young face. Not to mention Feng Cen, even He Yishan on the top of the city could see clearly. Isn’t this Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao’s nephew? He Yishan was deeply impressed by this young man. When Feng Cen bullied him young, he wanted to take the opportunity to cut off this man’s head, but after more than a dozen moves, he was beaten to run away by Cao Wenzhao. In the battle before the New Year, Cao Bianjiao and Wu Sangui sneaked into Anqing City with two troops and almost blew up the northern city gate. He Yishan was very impressed by these two people. In contrast, just in terms of charging into battle, Cao Bianjiao is even more fierce than Wu Sangui.

In the middle of the night, Cao Wenzhao actually sent his nephew out. It seems that he was really forced to do nothing. Since that's the case, He Yishan was more at ease. Cao Bianjiao made a big splash. Is this agitating? He Yishan pointed to the direction where Cao Bianjiao was, and He Yishan shouted: "If you are surnamed Cao, you should touch your chin and see if the hair is growing. Just you, you still want to kill me? I'm just staying in Anqing City. Come on?"

Cao Bianjiao glared at him and spitted hard, "Bah, you are a hero who has been famous for a long time. He is actually a brave bandit. Since you dare not come out, then I won't play with you anymore. Brothers, withdraw..."

Although it was a retreat, the retreat was very well-organized, and Feng Cen was quite unwilling to accept it. If Cao Bianjiao attacked Anqing City, it would be possible that more than half of the casualties and injuries under Cao Bianjiao were killed or injured. If he was lucky and did Cao Bianjiao, it would be a great achievement.

After confirming that Cao Bianjiao had evacuated, Feng Cen sent people to search along the way to Huilin Town, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked. There were many corpses scattered on both sides of the road, most of them were in disarray, and even had no weapons in their hands. It can be imagined that Cao Bianjiao's sneak attack on Huilin Town was still very successful. If Huilin Town had not fired a sound arrow in time, it might have made Cao Bianjiao succeed.

At the beginning of Mao time, there was finally a preliminary statistics. After being attacked by Cao Bianjiao, nearly 400 people were lost overnight, which made He Yishan very angry. Fortunately, Cao Wenzhao and his men were in a hurry to go to Chizhou Prefecture. If they had enough time and slowly grind them, Cao Wenzhao would eat 300 or 400 people at a time, and he would be crazy if he was exhausted.

Feng Cen returned to the government office and quickly found a cup for himself to get a cup of tea. Gudong Gudong took a few sips, then said with a distorted face: "Brother He, Lin Zhen suffered a lot this time. The barracks were destroyed. Many of the brothers were driven out before they could resist. Many people died along the way. If the signal had not been sent out in time, we would have really suffered."

"Well, I asked someone. In just half an hour, nearly 400 people were lost, and the losses were quite large. The remaining brothers should be comforted. In addition, to inform the people from other places, we must be on guard. Cao Wenzhao is now a mad dog who is eager to do anything. Since he sent Cao Bianjiao to attack Huilin Town, he would like to have some arrangements in other directions."

Feng Cen agreed deeply and nodded gently, "The brothers who escaped from Huilin Town are just a little lacking in energy. They will probably be fine if they rest for two days."

He Yishan was afraid that something would happen again, so he didn't dare to sleep all night. He and Feng Cen and others paid close attention to the movements everywhere, but until dawn, no attacks were taken from other places, and even the shadows of officers and soldiers were not noticed. He Yishan dared to sleep even more because the development of the matter was completely different from what he expected.

At Chen, He Yishan walked around the house, looking a little uneasy. There was a bowl of hot porridge on the table, but he had no appetite at all. The door was pushed open, and he looked up and saw Feng Cen strode in. Feng Cen walked into the house without saying anything, but just smiled bitterly and shook his head at He Yishan. He Yishan couldn't help but be puzzled, "There is no movement in other places yet?"

"No, and according to our people's reward, since Cao Bianjiao retreated from Huilin Town, the officers and soldiers in Qianshan area could not be shrunk, and there was no sign of using troops. In addition, Qin Liangyu from the west also brought his troops to Qianshan County, but he did not intend to attack Anqing." Feng Cen hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Brother He, do you think we are thinking too much? Cao Wenzhao just shot a flick. His real intention was to go around the south?"

After thinking for a while, He Yishan shook his head, "It's impossible. Not to mention that time is too late. Even if you want to go around the south, you should send troops to move to the south first. However, the officers and soldiers in Qianshan County have not been moved yet, which is unreasonable."

"No, there must be a problem." When He Yishan was in northern Shaanxi, he had dealt with Cao Wenzhao a lot. In his impression, Cao Wenzhao was a very difficult person to deal with. If Cao Wenzhao didn't have a few tricks, he would not be valued by the Living King of Hell and entrusted with important tasks. "We must have ignored something, and Cao Wenzhao could not have done nothing."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through He Yishan's mind, and his face suddenly turned into a pig's liver. "Brother, where have the people who escaped from Huilin Town arranged to go? Have you sent someone to check your identity?"

"I've been arranged in Nancheng to check my identity? I've had a fierce battle all night and was very tired. Everyone fell asleep. Even if I checked, it would have to be later..." Seeing He Yishan's terrified eyes, Feng Cen instantly understood something. He said in horror, "Brother He, do you mean that there are problems with the brothers who escaped from Lin Zhen?"

"If there is any problem, check it out. Quickly... Don't delay it. If there is any problem, something will happen!" He Yishan made a gesture and took Feng Cen out of the house, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard a loud noise and the ground trembled three times.

"What's going on? Where does the sound come from?" He Yishan was furious. After a while, his personal soldiers rushed into the yard in panic. "Oh no, someone blew up the south gate. Now he has rushed towards the wall outside the south gate..."

He Yishan's face turned pale and he patted his thighs in annoyance, "It's over, it's all over, those people really have problems. No... we still have a chance... while Cao Wenzhao's main force has not arrived, we should quickly destroy this group of dogs..."
