Gu Dingtian was always restless this day because the amulet he sought in Beiwudang Mountain disappeared.

He killed too many lives, and the amulet was always in a small leather bag, hanging close to his neck day and night.

But when I woke up this morning, the leather bag disappeared.

Gu Dingtian turned the entire military camp to the sky, and tortured everyone who had approached his camp, but he could not find the amulet.

He always vaguely felt that something must have happened.

In the evening, he saw several fast horses running from the north and entering Xue Dongting's camp with his own eyes, his face changed drastically.

Something happened in the East Village.

As expected, Xue Dongting quickly summoned several of the gentry masters from Lan County to the camp to discuss matters. When everyone arrived, Xue Dongting's first words were: "The 10,000 troops of the King of the North Road were defeated, and the Qin thieves had already moved south from the Xiaolianghe area. I'm afraid they have arrived in Dongcun now."

Upon hearing this news, everyone present changed their faces. The timid even sat on the ground without saying a word.

"Please go back to the army to recover Dongcun and eliminate Qin thieves."

Gu Dingtian knelt on one knee without hesitation and begged Xue Dongting.

Several other gentry masters came to their senses and knelt down one after another, begging Xue Dongting to return to Lan County immediately to eliminate the Qin thieves.

Lan County is their old home. If the surname Qin enters Lan County, wouldn’t they want to destroy their families like the Meng family in Loufan, the Du family?

Xue Dongting, who was sitting upright, looked ugly, frowned and thought for a long time, then slowly said, "Everyone, we are now attacked on both sides and cannot protect ourselves. The recovery of Dongcun may not work."

"Sir." Gu Dingtian's face changed again, "The Qin bandits have only 800 troops. We can leave a force to continue guarding Hongsha Ridge, prevent the enemy troops from going north from going north, and then divide the troops back to Dongcun. Only three thousand troops can be recaptured and eliminated the Qin bandits."

Xue Dongting rubbed his temples and said, "Brother Gu, although the Qin thieves have few soldiers, they are all elite soldiers who have experienced many battles. There are several powerful generals under his command who have fought against them. The most important thing is that he brought more than a dozen cannons, one of which is very powerful. Even if we have the advantage of the troops, we may not get any benefits."

"Sir, what if he has artillery? I can't fire a few shots when I rush over."

"He has more than a dozen cannons, one shot, and one shot is enough for all the trained local heroes to escape everywhere."

"Sir... Otherwise, you only need to transfer a thousand troops to support Gu. Gu and the masters will lead the village to fight back. At noon tomorrow, you will bring the heads of the Qin thief to see you."

"this……"

Xue Dongting pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, saying, "Just do it this way. I will transfer the guerrilla General Mo to lead a thousand troops and follow you back to the East Village to eliminate the Qin thieves."

"Thank you, sir."

...

Liu Youzhu has already learned that Qin Chuan had marched to the East Village.

He also expected that Gu Dingtian and others would definitely return to their troops to recover Dongcun.

At the third update of the night, Liu Youzhu's command of a thousand Guandi army wrapped the horses on horseback, carried the rafts tied in advance, and quietly pushed several cannons down Langtouling and rushed towards Longquan River.

Before we reached the shore, the Ming army's whistle sounded on the other side of the shore in a hurry.

"Start the gun and fire the cannon, and cross the river forcibly."

Liu Youzhu made a quick decision and took the lead in carrying a raft to the shore with several Guandi troops and pushed it into the river.

Several artillery guns were immediately fixed on the shore and sprayed flames toward the other side.

With the fire, Liu Youzhu found that the Ming army sentries on the other side were twice as many as the previous two nights, and there were three Ming army sentries a few feet away.

They encountered no resistance. The sentries were running west desperately. On the originally dark Red Sha Ridge, there were suddenly sounds of shocking neighing, and then dense torches lit up, moving westward along the mountain beams.

Liu Youzhu suddenly realized that the Ming army was pulling out the camp in the dark and wanted to sneak away from the west.

Listening to the chaotic sounds and looking at the number of torches, the Ming army on Hongshaling was half less than the previous two days, with only more than 2,000 people at most.

The remaining half should have gone north overnight and regained the East Village.

"Hurry, push the raft into the river, tie it tightly, and cross the river and chase those bitches."

Li Dingliang was very anxious and ran back and forth by the river, helping the Guandi army push the raft in.

The Ming army was fleeing, and he had to chase and cut off all the Ming army's supplies, which contained at least a few hundred stones of food, as well as mules, carriages, tents, etc., which were all strategic supplies.

Then, he had to chase the township hero in Lan County, attack the boss from both sides, block Gu Dingtian and others on the edge of Lan River, and catch them all in one go.

...

At the fifth o'clock in the morning, an army was marching along the Lan River with the stars and quietly heading north.

No one spoke in the entire team, only the sound of footsteps, the horses biting their chewing, and the humming sound of the unlucky guys who fell to the ground at night could not see the road clearly.

In the middle of the team, Feng Yilong held Feng Shisanying's arm firmly in his hand, lowered his head, and looked at the road without saying a word.

"Brother, why don't we go ahead? You can see someone named Qin when you go ahead. I heard that those masters have already raised his head to 2,000 taels of silver. If we kill someone named Qin, wouldn't we be able to make a lot of silver?"

Feng Shisanying, who was standing beside him, lowered his voice and said to the elder brother who had been protecting him.

Feng Yilong turned his head, looked at his younger brother who was still young under the starlight, and whispered in a low voice, "Thirteen, listen well, when the fight starts, if there is a noise behind you, then follow your seventh brother and eleventh brother to the west. Don't get separated, remember?"

Feng Shisanying was a little puzzled, "Brother, are we going to run away?"

"That's right, if we are attacked on both sides, we will immediately run to the ridge to the west and take a detour back to Chijianling."

"But, there are only 800 people in Qin. Even if the group of people in Langtouling chased me, there will be less than 2,000 people in one place. We have an army of 3,600."

"Thirteen, remember, marching and fighting requires a sense of energy. No matter how many people there are, all brothers must have the same energy. Just like people, the breath is stable, and the breath is strong, and the breath is indecisive, and then the breath is messy, and then you are not far from death."

"Although we have a lot of people, we are all scattered and chrysanthemums that can't be twisted together. It's different. Zhang Shijing of the Zhang family had long wanted to run back to the county town to defend the city because their Zhang family's family business was in the city, and Qin's family could not rob them."

"The guerrilla general had long wanted to run away because Xue Dongting must have already run to the west now, and the other masters had long wanted to run home and hid in the county with their families and money."

"Three thousand and six hundred people, only Gu Dingtian and the masters close to the East Village are the only ones who really want to fight to the death. Together, they may be less than 1,500. Can such a battle be fought?"

Feng Shisanying frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head, "If you can't fight, you will lose if you hit."

"So, we have to think of a way out. Once we are attacked on both sides, you will follow Brother Seven and Brother Eleven. Do you remember?"

"Brother, what about you?"

"Brother will go with you, just a little bit behind."

"Brother, I want to go with you."

"Don't mess around, or I won't take you out next time."

"Can……"

As soon as Feng Shisanying spoke, a loud "boom" suddenly came from his ear, and a scarlet tongue of flame spurted out from a ridge to the north.

"Lao Qi, Lao Eleven, I'm optimistic about Thirteen."

Feng Yilong pulled out his long sword and blocked Feng Shisan.

The two men behind him also protected Feng Shisan firmly in the middle.

A series of loud noises quickly rang out on the ridge, and scarlet tongues of flames looked particularly weird in the night sky.

The Ming army and the township guards were already in chaos, with screams and scolding everywhere, screams resounding throughout the night sky, mixed with the flames, like eighteen levels of purgatory.

Gu Dingtian, who was leading the way, waved the whip and scolded him desperately, so the two guards in the front were barely calmed down. Then they climbed up the ridge to the west and shot fire tongues along the ridge to the north.

The other guards and the guerrilla general's 1,000 Ming troops followed them in a mess after a while, but no one dared to run too fast and only shouted and cheered behind them.

A raft of guns quickly rang out again on the ridge, and then the largest cannon rang out loud, and countless tiny Martian pear blossoms rushed towards the Gu family yard that was rushing to the front.

Most of the Gu family's guards were bandits under Gu Dingtian's command, and their combat power was much stronger than that of other guards, but now they fell down like harvesting wheat.

Many of the Liu family's guards died, and the remaining ones ran back in tears, causing chaos in the other guards and the Ming army behind them.

At this time, a sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the south, followed by a series of shouts of killing.

"Lao Qi, Lao Eleven, take Thirteen away first."

Feng Yilong pushed Feng Shisanying to the two men around him.

The two men immediately took Feng Shisanying on the horse and led dozens of cavalry to climb up the ridge to the west.

Feng Yilong quickly gathered the nearby Feng brothers and followed the mountain ridge with more than 200 other riders.
