Chapter 145: Race against time

Tie Mo's eyebrows showed a hint of joy, and he nodded with a smile, "That's right, now that we have suffered a lot of losses, the thieves probably didn't expect that we would kill us at this time." The most important thing is that Yuan Ma's department is seriously damaged, and Mizhi City is now lax in its defenses. As long as we take Mizhi City, we can enter and exit Shaanxi through Linxian County, and we don't have to worry about thieves crossing the Sanchuan River to block our back road. ”

"This ..... If Li Yangchun's main force gets the news, and we can't take Mizhi City in time, won't we suffer at that time? Lou Daji thought about it, but still felt that Cao Wenzhao and Tiemo's idea was too risky.

Cao Wenzhao thought about it for a while and said: "As long as we plan properly, we should still have a great grasp. The thieves can set up a few empty cities to deceive us, why can't we create some troops to deceive them? ”

Hearing this, Lou Daji's eyes couldn't help but light up.

After nightfall, the soldiers and horses of the three towns, who were originally resting in Wubao, suddenly changed their guards. This abnormal move startled the thieves, and later saw that the officers and soldiers showed no signs of taking the initiative to attack, and Li Yangchun did not pay too much attention to it.

Early the next morning, the soldiers and horses of the three towns were still strictly guarded, and Li Yangchun naturally would not act rashly.

Continuing the confrontation, Li Yangchun was not worried, and the soldiers and horses of the three towns couldn't endure it for long. Even if the soldiers and horses of the three towns don't want to fight, the imperial court will not agree. In short, the current situation is that whoever moves first suffers.

"Is there an anomaly in the Three Towns?"

"No, except for last night's change of guard, there is nothing unusual about the soldiers and horses of the three towns. According to the spies' report, the soldiers and horses of the three towns are all cowering near Fort Wu. ”

"Be sure to keep an eye on it, and have more snacks!"

Li Yangchun earnestly admonished a few words, he didn't want the officers and soldiers to make some trouble under his nose. Li Yangchun was cautious enough, but he still ignored the estuary of the Sanchuan River to the east of Wubao.

To the north of the mouth of the Sanchuan River is a hilly slope connected to the dense forest to the north. At this time, a troop of soldiers and horses was hiding in the dense forest. They secretly hid here last night while they were adjusting their defenses.

This group of soldiers and horses is about 2,000 people, led by Sha Diao and Cao Bianjiao respectively. Because he was afraid that the daytime march would be discovered, he could only go out by day and night.

On the other side, the three main generals of Tiemo, Cao Wenzhao, and Lou Daji often went to the front to show their faces, and even launched several feints against the thieves in order to cover this operation. With the cooperation of many parties, it can be regarded as deceiving Li Yangchun.

Another night, the soldiers and horses lurking in the dense forest at the mouth of the three rivers, under the command of Sha Diao and Cao Bianjiao, divided into two groups, quietly passed through the hills, and killed Mizhi City, fifty miles away.

In Mizhi City, Yuan Ma was sleeping soundly, and the guards at the head of the city were also unguarded. Due to the previous fierce battle, the losses were heavy, and the survivors were also exhausted. Now that the officers and soldiers have retreated, plus the Four Heavenly Kings leading the main army to confront the officers and soldiers and the Sanchuan River, even if the officers and soldiers with insufficient troops have the courage to attack Mizhi City at this time.

With this in mind, Mizhi City's defense is almost useless. Just after the hour, just as the guards fell asleep, a group of people wrapped in black suits quietly hung ropes on the city wall and slowly followed the rope up the city wall.

There were a few guards nearby, but the slight noise didn't drive away the sleeping bugs in their minds. Moments later, the guards fell into a deep sleep forever.

More ropes were lowered, and more and more people went up the walls, and they quietly covered up and opened the heavy gates. When the city gate opened, the sand sculpture's frowning brow finally relaxed, and he knew that Mizhi City was almost in his hands.

Cao Bianjiao urged his subordinates to enter the city quickly, and did not forget to instruct his subordinates to fire arrows, "Quickly send the message, leave a few people to guard the city gate, ensure that the large army can enter the city, and the others will kill with Lao Tzu." ”

For a while, the killing sound of Mizhi City shook the sky, and now there are not many people in the city, there is no need to identify it at all, as long as you dare to show your face on the street, there is a high probability that it will be a chaotic party. Cao Bianjiao led people to the county office, but the sand sculpture led people to pounce in the other direction.

Cao Bianjiao and the sand sculpture have different ideas, Cao Bianjiao is full of thoughts about how to cut off Yuan Ma's head and make a great contribution, while the sand sculpture wants to steal the property of Mizhi City as much as possible.

Fortunately, after the chaotic party entered Mizhi City, they searched for it and concentrated it in the house of Bai Xingyuan, the richest man in Mizhi. As for Bai Xingyuan's family, they fled and died, and now all the people who live in the Bai family are chaotic.

The sound of fighting one after another had already awakened Yuan Ma. As soon as he woke up, Yuan Ma scolded him, but after figuring out what was going on, he put on his clothes and ran to Bai's house.

Since the officers and soldiers have entered the city, the rice fat will not be able to hold it. Yuan Ma's first thought was to run quickly, but when he ran, he had to take away the treasure he had looted.

After entering Mizhi City, Yuan Ma killed the rich families in the city, and scraped countless good things. If you throw it away like this, you're really unwilling.

......

Cao Bianjiao led people to pounce on the county office, and as soon as he entered the county office, he was shocked by the scene inside.

In the front yard of the original lobby, torches flickered, and many bones were scattered under the two jujube trees, and there were even no dried blood stains. Some of the bones have flesh attached to them, and there are clear tooth marks.

Young Cao Bianjiao, when had he seen this kind of scene, after a few glances, his face turned pale instantly, and he threw up while holding on to the door wall. After a while, he stopped the feeling of nausea, "Sou, search Yuan Ma out for me, Lao Tzu is going to cut him with a thousand knives." ”

Cannibalism is not new, and after being hungry to the extreme, cannibalism is also necessary in order to survive. But this thief army occupies rice fat, loots countless supplies, and needs to eat people to satisfy hunger?

Therefore, these people are either human beings, or a group of beasts that have lost their humanity. Cao Bianjiao, who was furious, gave the same order as the film, that is, not to take prisoners. None of the captives captured before were left behind, and all their heads were cut off.

What Yuan Ma has done has far exceeded the bottom line that Cao Bianjiao can tolerate.

The county government was contributed, and searched every corner, but did not find Yuan Ma's figure, which made Cao Bianjiao extremely disappointed.

At this time, in the Bai family's compound, a tragic battle was going on. In order to protect the looted materials, the thieves also risked their lives, blocking the front and back doors one by one, and the city walls were also crowded.

"Where's the powder pack? Blow the door open for Lao Tzu! ”

Since it was the first time to use a powder bag, the sand sculpture did not hide too far after igniting the powder twist. With a loud noise, the wall was blown down, and the ears of the sand sculpture were really rumbled, and nothing could be heard.

Others couldn't hear what they said, so they could only wave their long knives and yell, "Rush, rush, grab everything, ask for things, don't want heads, kill!" ”

Without the cover of the wall, the thieves were still the opponents of the officers and soldiers, and the bayonets and bullets formed a dense network of firepower until the thieves were completely driven out of the Bai family compound.
