Chapter 240: Soldiers Crossing the Meridian Valley

"Hey!"

Not long after Cen Fang left, the thieves began to attack the city.

This time, the thieves attacked very fiercely, even more fiercely than during the day on the first day. Li Zicheng did it on purpose, in his opinion, work hard tonight, and Fufeng County will be his own. However, what Li Zicheng didn't expect was that the officers and soldiers defending the city didn't know what medicine to take, and one by one they repelled their confident attacks.

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

In desperation, Li Zicheng could only order a temporary retreat, and as soon as Li Zicheng withdrew, Wu Guofu's troops also began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

At dawn on the second day, Li Zicheng entered the city, but he took an empty city. Looking at Fufeng County, which was full of messes and corpses, Li Zicheng was stunned. Although he won Fufeng County, he couldn't feel the joy of victory in his heart. Wu Guofu paid huge casualties, almost the whole army was wiped out, just in order to hold Fufeng County, but in the end he took the initiative to abandon the city and escape.

In Li Zicheng's consciousness, Wu Guofu is not this kind of person. Others may abandon the city and flee for their lives, but Wu Guofu will not do this, as a veteran of northern Sichuan, step by step from the bottom to his current position, he climbed up by relying on real military achievements. People like Wu Guofu, even if they die in battle, I am afraid they will not abandon the city and flee for their lives.

Li Zicheng was a little worried in his heart, but now he had to send it when he was ready to shoot, Fufeng County had been taken, and the next thing was to take the main army of Wugong County to withdraw to Fengxiang. On the one hand, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Hua Xiaorong, and on the other hand, Li Zicheng also sent someone to pay attention to the cavalry who could not take off the flowers. After learning that the cavalry of the Dehuhua Department was dragged by Li Yangchun and could not move, Li Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as this cavalry is dragged down, even if there is any accident, he Li Zicheng can handle it. It can be said that Li Zicheng can have today's achievements, in addition to being decisive and ruthless, another reason is that he is very confident.

Li Zicheng stood at the head of the city, looking at the east, perhaps because of the long war, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, even the air was a little foggy, and the things in the field of vision were a little blurred.

Behind Li Zicheng, there stood a burly young man, who was somewhat similar to Li Zicheng in appearance and appearance, and this person was Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo. Although Li Guo was young, after the incident with Li Zicheng, he fought bravely and made many achievements, and over time, he was called "a tiger" by the sergeant of the army.

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

"Later, you can take some people to the north to guard in a while!"

"Eh" Li Guo touched his head with a stunned expression, and said with a wry smile: "What's the use of being stationed in the north?" Uncle, are you not at ease with Li Yangchun? I don't think there should be a problem, Li Yangchun has nearly 20,000 troops under his command, and he still can't take off the cavalry who can't take it off? ”

"It is said that there should be no problem, but the tens of thousands of troops in Wugong County are too important to us, in case something goes wrong on Li Yangchun's side, and it is not blocked to get rid of it, then we will be in big trouble." In short, be prepared, it's better than after something goes wrong, and then deal with it temporarily" Li Zicheng turned around and patted Li Guo on the shoulder, "You go, don't be reckless, just guard the official road in the north, don't think about helping Li Yangchun." Your task is to ensure that the cavalry of De Buhua will not rush along the official road, and block the task of De Buhua, and Li Yangchun is in charge. ”

"Okay!" Li Guo nodded helplessly, but he didn't think so in his heart. Uncle is too cautious, he can't get rid of the cavalry under his command, and he doesn't have three heads and six arms, Li Yangchun has so many people, can he still trap him?

But it's no wonder uncle, since the uprising of the rebel army, who has not suffered the loss of the living Hades, and naturally pays more attention to the soldiers and horses of the living Hades.

......

After Fufeng County was taken by the peasant army, Hua Xiaorong soon ordered all departments to evacuate Wugong County in an orderly manner. After only one day, Wugong County became an empty city, Hua Xiaorong's department blocked the pursuing soldiers while retreating to Fufeng County, because the peasant army had too many troops, the officers and soldiers pursued from behind, and they did not please for a while.

Strange to say, the peasant army desperately retreated in the direction of Fufeng County, but Hua Xiaorong, who led the troops, was caught in the middle of the team, looking unhurried. In fact, Hua Xiaorong was very hesitant in his heart, whether to go to Fufeng County quickly.

In the eyes of Li Zicheng and others, Hua Xiaorong has always been a reckless person, but Hua Xiaorong is not reckless, he actually has a lot of thoughts, but he knows how to disguise better, and few people can see it. Among the rebels, there are not many intrigues and deceits, Hua Xiaorong himself does not have much ambition, so he has been trying his best to hide his clumsiness, so as not to become a thorn in the side of others.

This incident in Fufeng County made Hua Xiaorong uneasy. Li Zicheng's speed of capturing Fufeng County was too fast, when did Wu Guofu, a veteran of northern Sichuan, waste firewood? 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, and this old general Wu was definitely not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Because of various reasons, Hua Xiaorong felt that there was something wrong with Fufeng County, and Fufeng County seemed to be a gap in escape, so it was a bloody mouth.

Hua Xiaorong deliberately asked his cronies to slow down the retreat and get caught in the middle, so that there was more buffer time, and no matter if something happened in front or in the rear, there would be a time to react.

.......

The autumn sun is no longer so hot, on the contrary, with a hint of coolness. At this time, a vast cavalry appeared on the bank of the Xishui River in Hanzhong. The cavalry walked slowly along the riverside path, and the long line saw no end in sight.

Hanzhong Mansion, at this time, there were not only He Jingyuan, the prefect of Hanzhong, but also Gao Wenjian, the former prefect of Fengxiang. Since escaping from Fengxiang Mansion, Gao Wenjian has been cowering in Hanzhong Mansion, waiting for the will of the imperial court. He Jingyuan and Gao Wenjian are fellow villagers and fellow friends, and they have been friends for many years, so they have left Gao Wenjian to stay here. However, the imperial court has recently been overwhelmed by the peasant army, and some people in the six ministries deliberately downplayed Gao Wenjian's affairs, and the imperial court forgot about Gao Wenjian for a while.

Gao Wenjian and He Jingyuan have been waiting for the will of the imperial court, but the will did not come, but they waited for an astonishing news, a huge cavalry of soldiers and horses along Hanyin, across the Meridian Valley, to the bank of the Xishui River.

For a while, Gao Wenjian and He Jingyuan were all panicked. If it's a thief who pounces, is there still life? After sending someone to inquire, I found out where this cavalry came from.

This cavalry of more than 3,000 people turned out to be people sent by Tiemo, the garrison of Yunfu.
