But obviously Zhang Bangchang never thought that such a simple order would have an impact in eastern Hebei after being transferred layer by layer.

The action that originally took the initiative to shrink its troops eventually turned into a chain reaction tide of escape.

After all, organizing and unorganized retreat are certainly different; but in the absence of specific threats, relatively orderly organizational retreat is completely different from Xu Ran's turnaround under the enemy's attack and harassment.

Moreover, for the local residents, the defenders had all run away, so how many people could continue to stay in place with peace of mind. So for a moment, the fleeing crowds were everywhere, crowded on the road and trampled on them. They were shocked several times a day and the chaos was out of control.

So, when my troops passed through Jingzhou and Ganzhou, flew a shot in Changfeng Town, quickly turned to Mozhou (now Renqiu, Hebei), and arrived at the prefecture city beside Baiyangdian,

All I could see was the empty moat, discarded and trampled all over the ground, as the dust was gently rolled in rags in the wind, and my subordinates who stood on the top of the city, staring at them,

"Is this all running away?..."

I looked at this scene and said helplessly

"It's really hard to say that the plan cannot keep up with the changes."

In the end, my men only found some of the inconveniences of legs and feet, and they really couldn't run far, and the elderly, weak, sick and disabled who were waiting to die in the local area. In this way, my plan to force labor from the local area and expand the anti-riot team was also empty.

But if you want to say yes, it would not be like that when you took the method of clearing the wilderness and strengthening the walls in advance, because although the treasury official warehouses in those places were not stored in much area, most of them were still intact.

Even destruction methods such as burning and pollution have not been used. After I stayed for a short time, I decided to leave some of these warehouses and materials, and after taking up some of them, the rest would be left to those "Xingzhou Army" who followed our backs slowly.

So that they can continue to go north to create chaos and attract attention, while my own formation continues to use Jizhou as the direction of attack.

The first cold current to the north and south has dyed the yellow plants and trees on both sides of the canal a layer of frosty white color.

On the northern section of Cangzhou, the Yongji Canal, on the bank of Pinglu Canal, seven or eight large vehicles, either capsized in shallow water or stranded on the shore, full of traces of fierce fighting and splashing blood.

Some people were stepping on the springboard, checking the deck and the lower cabins on it, throwing the skewed bodies into the water one by one.

"Uncle... There is nothing good this time"

Fang Bao, who was hanging his arms, said in a urn

"The boat is full of horse-fooded straw beans, rye..."

Although he could not be a flag bearer due to injury, he still had another arm that could move, so he couldn't rest.

Fang La held his breath and squatted in the reeds, staring at the movements on the river surface, without looking back.

"Then take as much as you can..."

"The rest is all poured into the river..."

"No……"

He turned around and changed his words

"Just sprinkle it on the shore... Let the hungry people nearby come and pick it up."

"At least, I can fill my stomach for a while..."

They had just successfully ambushed a fleet of ships, a fleet full of armed soldiers, and had obviously received some news and greatly strengthened their defense.

But unfortunately, this time Fang La received the support of the artillery team in the Model Corps.

Although the more bulky artillery regiment was left in Henan, some lighter small cannons and lighter rotary cannons were carried over by horses as a means of strengthening the attack.

After calibrating the shooting range, it can cover most of the river surface.

Therefore, Fang La also arranged some special personnel to bluff across the river so that these canal ships could approach him and even more.

So when these canal ships hit the other side with bows and arrows, while widening the distance, they were caught off guard. Dozens of cannons as big as pigeon eggs swept across the waterline of the canal ship, and immediately broke the soldiers on this side with the boat boards, and they broke them.

Even the water wheel was broken, and in the slow inertia, it rushed to the shore. The northern soldiers escorted on the ship were quite brave and bloody. With the help of the cover of the hull, they jumped down the river beach, waded to the shore and launched a counterattack.

Then he was killed and overturned by various crossbows, three-eyed guns and hand cannons, and overturned them on the mudflats that were more than ten steps away. Then Fang La led his men to pave the road with bundles of reeds and wooden boards, and launched a round of impact and easily took down the canal ships.

Occasionally, some people hid in the cabin and fought stubbornly, and they threw a few simple fire thunder bombs in it, which shocked them and became prisoners even if they were not dead.

Despite this, there were still three more far-distance vehicles and ships, who turned around and ran away quickly because of their quick response, but they couldn't catch up with them.

It’s a pity that there were not enough ship operators, so after they left, even if the stranded ships were still intact, the wheel rudders were destroyed, the bottom cabin was chiseled, and they were no longer used.

"Uncle..."

At this time, Fang Bao, who turned back, obviously made new discoveries.

"Brothers have checked the armored flags of these northern soldiers."

"It seems like Fan Yang's army from Pingludao is matched..."

To the north of Luodu, outside Huojia City on the south bank of the Yellow River, standing in the yard at the ferry, Zhen Wuchen, dressed in short clothes, was also touching the sweat on his head, looking bored at the opposite shore hidden among the surging yellow water.

Although the sun has already risen by three times, the strong river wind and biting moisture make them feel no warmth.

I could only take advantage of the interval without any work, hiding in groups behind the building on the ferry stack, hunching over to shelter from the wind.

Because it has not yet been affected by the offensive of the Southern Army, it has become the last lifeline for Luodu to communicate with foreign countries. Almost every night, there are ships and personnel passing by shuttles and traveling around the river.

In the past two days, even the servants in the school redemption camp like him could clearly feel that the batches transported over the river were already bustling.

Even the soldiers who were responsible for supervising and spurring them in daily life could not hide their at a loss and anxiety on their faces. It seemed that something unexpected happened.

It was the second time that the messenger who came from Luodu and fought the Golden Dragon Flag Battle to cross the river to urge him to do it, but the supplies and personnel who were sailing on the other side still did not improve.

These river boats in groups of three or three, before they even had time to fill the cabin, were like drops of water sprinkled into the thirsty land. They had just arrived at the shore and were divided and transported all, without any chance to pile them up.

Even the intensity of the punitive military service in their small school redemption camp has decreased a lot in disguise. You can take turns to hide behind the embankment to make a fire to keep warm.

For Zhen Wuchen, since he angered the chief official Sishui Pass and was sent here, he and his fellow Bian Army members had never received any news about the chief general Yang Keshi.

Suddenly, a general rushed over with his horse and whipped it. After a hurry to patrol the men and the soldiers, he said loudly.

"Those are the people..."
