Seeing Bai Qi and his party leave far away, the county commander asked the general: "I said general, why did Lord Hong's Chinese army leave without meeting?" Really that urgent? ”

The general smiled and told the county commander about his arrangements, and the county commander broke out in a cold sweat: "Good girl, if General Shi knows, you are testing him, and you will be angry again." The general also sighed: "Fortunately, this round has come down, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to clean it up." ”

The two chatted while walking, and when they returned to the county office, they had just drunk a cup of tea, when someone suddenly came to report that Lord Hong had sent someone. Just outside the city.

The county commander and the general both frowned, and the county commander said: "General, you didn't arrange it this time, right?" ”

The general shook his head: "No, it seems that the person we sent is back." The two hurriedly came to the city, looked down, and sure enough, they recognized the person they had sent to see Hong Chengchou. In addition, he also brought a few personal soldiers under Hong Chengchou.

The county commander and the general did not dare to slack off, hurriedly opened the city gate, ran down the city, and brought a few personal soldiers into the city.

A personal soldier led by Hong Chengchou presented a handwritten letter, and the county order was opened and looked at, and it was written very simply, asking the county order to release the captured thieves to Xi'an outside the city, and his camp.

The county commander and the general glanced at each other, and said in unison: "The thief leader has just been escorted away......

The leader of the personal soldiers was stunned: "Escorted away?" Who took it away? The county ordered: "A general named Shi Kefa, with twenty cavalry, just left for a while, why, you didn't meet?" ”

The personal soldiers led by him were taken aback: "General Shi Kefa? Do you recognize him? ”

The county commander and the general shook their heads: "He claims to be General Shi, and he has a golden paint order...... The pro-soldier intercepted: "General Shi is now outside Xi'an, besieging the rebels with Lord Hong, why have you ever been here?" ”

Hearing this, the county commander and the general were stunned like five thunderbolts.

The general reacted first and patted his head: "It's not good, we were fooled, he was a thief, pretending to be an official and robbing people." ”

The soldier asked urgently: "How long have you been gone?" ”

The general said: "They came out of the east gate, but they didn't touch you, they must have gone out of the city, they changed direction, and now they have to flee to the west, which is the territory of the thieves, according to this view, they can't escape far." ”

The county magistrate also stammered: "Yes...... Can't escape...... The thief was tortured, his body was wounded, and it was inconvenient to ride a horse, so he would not be able to escape......"

The personal soldiers led by him bowed his hand to the general: "Please also ask the general to quickly lead people to chase after him." ”

The general did not dare to delay at all, and immediately ordered 200 cavalry, opened the west gate, and pursued it directly.

This time he guessed correctly, after Bai Qi took Wang Jian and others out of the city, he walked a little way, and saw that they were far away from the city gate, and the officials and soldiers could not see them in the city, so he immediately loosened the ropes of Wang Jian and the four people, and everyone saw each other.

Wang Jian struggled to dismount to give Bai Qi a salute, but was stopped by Bai Qi, and he ordered this place to not stay for a long time, so he quickly took a detour and returned to Meixian County.

Because Wang Jian and the other four were injured and couldn't ride fast horses, their speed was very slow, and the horses were trotting and walking, along the way, Wang Jian kept asking Bai Qi about the situation these days, but Bai Qi didn't say a word, just asked him to go back to Meixian County to recuperate, and then talk in detail.

Bai Qi didn't say anything about being wronged by Fan Ju, because in his opinion, Wang Qian's intention was not clear. God knows if he is Fan Ju's person, whether he is here to test him, and even if he is not Fan Ju's person, he must be King Qin's person, if King Qin listens to Fan Ju's words, believes that he is a rebel of the Qin army, and knows that he has a lot of men and territory, it is also possible to send Wang Jian to earn himself.

After all, Fan Ju's position in the Qin army was still quite stable at this time, but he was on the run for being a traitor, and this alone was enough to give Fan Ju the upper hand.

Therefore, Bai Qi didn't say a word about this matter, and just wanted to explore Wang Qian's tone first.

After running for a short time, everyone suddenly changed their expressions, turned their heads to look at the way they came, and everyone followed his gaze and looked back, and they were all startled.

It turned out that a large cloud of smoke and dust had risen in the distance, as if a lot of people were coming.

Bai Qi sneered: "They have found out, General Wang, can you hurry up?" ”

Wang Jian laughed: "Don't say whipping, it doesn't take much effort to fight with this gang of rabbles at this time." Bai nodded his head and looked ahead: "There is still a way to go, we have to arrive first, don't be surrounded by people halfway, look at their frame, there are no less than two hundred people." ”

After saying this, he gave a whip, and the horse neighed, and its hooves were freed and galloped forward, and the people behind him followed him, and more than twenty horses ran like a whirlwind.

They didn't run slowly, but they couldn't be faster than the two hundred cavalry behind them, and the generals took the lead, their faces were flushed with anger, and they didn't even deceive people by using a few tricks, and he already vaguely felt that the person who pretended to be Shi Kefa might be the thief head Bai Qi.

The thieves with the wounded must not be able to run fast, and their two hundred people will definitely be able to catch up.

Sure enough, after chasing for a while, I had already seen the dust raised by the horse's hooves in front of me, and there was a personal soldier behind him, pointing and shouting: "General, let's catch up." ”

The general instructed: "Give me a quick chase, whoever catches up with the thief first will be rewarded." ”

As soon as they heard this, the officers and soldiers under his command all shouted and hurried to catch up.

Bai Qi and they ran for a while, and a high dirt slope appeared on the side of the official road in front of them, and there were many trees on the slope, one of which was a giant tree standing tall in the sky, and the momentum was majestic. This high slope is called the Big Tree Slope.

When he came to the bottom of the slope of the big tree, Bai Qi Lema stopped, looked at the slope, and his heart was settled, and said to the others: "Let's not run, just wait for them here." ”

All the people came back to their horses, lined up in a row, and crossed the road, one by one, with their swords in hand, waiting to be killed.

Not long after, the general led 200 men and horses to kill violently, but when he saw the formation in front of him, the general was shocked again.

I saw that General Shi with more than 20 people, blocked in the middle of the road, all with calm faces, not in a hurry or panic, waiting to fight. The general looked at it for a while, doubtful in his heart, and didn't dare to step forward, for fear of falling into Bai Qi again, but the soldiers behind him said: "General, there are few of them, why don't you kill them?" ”

The general waved his hand: "What do you know, be careful of deception." The soldier laughed and said, "What is not cheating, let's take bows and arrows, and shoot them." ”

This reminded the general that if the enemy fled again, he would get closer and closer to Baiqi's territory and get farther and farther away from Xingping. Therefore, the best way is to solve it quickly.

Thinking of this, he whispered to the men and horses behind him: "Bow and arrow ready ......"

About thirty or fifty cavalrymen behind the general held their bows and arrows in their hands and drew their bows together.

But before they could shoot an arrow, suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air, and an officer who drew a bow behind the general snorted, was hit by an arrow in the neck, and was immediately shot off his horse.

The general was taken aback, and before he could come to his senses, he shot a flurry of arrows from the forest on the slope of the big tree.

This chaotic array of arrows came too suddenly, the officers and soldiers had no defense, and more than 20 were shot down, and the generals were immediately hit by a few arrows, and the formation was chaotic for a while.

The general understood that he had been ambushed by others, and when Bai Qi came, he had already prepared to receive the men and horses here, and now he didn't know how many enemy troops there were, and he was in the light, and others were in the dark, and this battle would definitely be lost, so he turned his horse and fled.

The officers and soldiers were defeated with the generals, leaving more than 30 corpses and horses on the ground.

Bai Qi watched this group of officers and soldiers lose away, and he didn't order to chase them, because this point of men and horses was really not worth chasing. He shouted to the slope, the figure in the forest flashed, Wu Xinlan walked out, and behind her, people and horses came out one after another, about a hundred people.

They occupied the high slope in advance, condescendingly, and with just a rain of arrows, they shot the enemy back.
