The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the earth, and after nearly an hour of hurrying and hurrying, under the leadership of the captured Liukou, Cao Yingmao and his party finally found the besieged hundred-person team, but the small hillside was already empty, only corpses and wreckage were left all over the ground.

On the hillside, nearly two hundred war horses and the corpses of the cavalry of the Jiangning Army were lying quietly on the ground, and the corpses of many people were incomplete, and it could be seen that many people were divided into corpses after death to vent their hatred, and the armor and clothes on all the corpses had been stripped clean.

Before nightfall, Yang Feng also led the main force of foot soldiers to rush here.

When it was dark, more than a dozen bonfires had been lit around, and the night sky was lit red by the blazing flames, and countless torches were lit around, illuminating the entire surrounding place as if it were day.

Yang Feng, Gou Xingma, Cao Yingmao, and more than 20,000 Jiangning soldiers stood quietly on the hillside, and in front of them was a huge shelf stacked with wood, on which were stacked the corpses of more than 100 fallen cavalrymen.

Yang Feng slowly turned his head and said to the people behind him: "Today, one of our cavalry hundred-man squad was ambushed by tens of thousands of thieves, and this squad was completely wiped out, and some brothers were even insulted after their deaths.

After interrogating the captives, we learned that the ambush was personally led by Li Zicheng, the leader of the bandits, and their military advisor Li Yan gave advice, and the leaders of the bandits, Liu Zongmin and Li Laiheng, personally commanded.

Especially that Liu Zongmin, this person is the last person to lead people to break through the defense line of our army, and finally divide the bodies of our brothers who died in battle. In the future, anyone who kills Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin will be rewarded with 5,000 silver dollars, and the non-commissioned officer will be promoted to the third level, and the officer will be promoted to the first level. If you can capture these two people alive, the reward will be doubled! If you can kill the thief Kou Li Yan, Li Laiheng and others will also have their own rewards, I hope that all the monarchs will bravely kill the enemy and serve the country for the country! ”

"Obey the teachings of the grandfather of the country, we will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the country!"

After Yang Feng's words fell, a neat and loud sound sounded, and if you pay close attention, you can find that everyone's faces have anger that cannot be concealed, and there is a flame called revenge in their eyes.

"Here comes the fire!"

As soon as Yang Feng stretched out his hand, a family member next to him handed over a torch, Yang Feng took the torch and stretched it out under the wooden frame, and the wooden frame that had already been sprayed with fire oil immediately burst into flames, and soon formed a flame.

Looking at the flames that rushed into the air, Yang Feng said silently in his heart: "Brothers, you can leave with confidence, I will definitely avenge your revenge!" ”

Anqing Province

The prefect's hall of Nuoda was full of people at the moment, and dozens of generals such as Li Zicheng, Li Yan, Liu Zongmin, and Li Laiheng were all present, and Hao Shaoqi, who had just returned from Niutou Village, was present.

At this moment, Li Zicheng's face can no longer be called ugly, it can already be described as iron blue.

Just now, he received the bad news that his nephew Li Guo had died in the battle of Niutou Village, and this news could be called a bolt from the blue to him.

Li Zicheng has no children and no daughters, and in his heart he has long regarded Li Guo as his own son, which both he and all the generals under his command understand, but today, Li Guo, whom he regarded as his heir, died, in the hands of Jiang Ningjun.

"Hao Shaoqi, my nephew Li Guo died, and he couldn't even bring back the body, aren't you going to explain something to me?"

Li Zicheng's voice was very soft, which was very different from the tone he usually spoke, but it was precisely this that made Hao Shaoqi's heart sound a strong alarm. And the leaders of the surrounding rogues also lowered their heads involuntarily, at this time, even if they thought about it with their knees, they knew that their hearts were definitely full of anger, and if they were accidentally touched by this flame, they would be burned to ashes.

"King Chuang."

Hao Shaoqi suddenly found that his throat was so dry, he involuntarily coughed dryly before saying: "Today's thing is like this, I led the brothers to be ordered to block the Jiangning army in Niutou Village today, but due to the large number of Jiangning soldiers, we had to retreat under the outnumbered, and it was at this time that Li Guo led the army to arrive.

It's just that at that time, the Li Guo brothers were in too much of a hurry, so that his men and horses were dragged for a long time, only about 1,000 people. Brother Li Guo saw that we couldn't hold it anymore, and immediately commanded his men to immediately go forward and fight with the Jiang Ning army, although he caused heavy damage to the Jiang Ning army, but the Jiang Ning army's firearms were too sharp, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, Li Guo brothers set up an ambush, led a group of brothers to ambush up, and suddenly killed from one side and entangled with the Jiang Ning army, at the beginning, Li Guo brothers' strategy did work, Jiang Ning army suffered heavy casualties, but with more and more people in the Jiang Ning army, Li Guo brothers' men and horses gradually died and wounded, I saw that the situation was not good and wanted to lead the brothers to come forward to save Li Guo brothers, but it was too late, and finally Li Guo brothers were killed in battle. ”

Li Zicheng stared at Hao Shaoqi, as if there was a layer of ice on his face: "Li Guo is dead, why are you still alive?" ”

Hao Shaoqi looked at Li Zicheng and said with a miserable smile: "King Chuang, Brother Li Guo lost his life in order to save me, how can I not feel sad in my heart." Before I came, I had already thought about it, and after I came back to tell you and your brothers, I would naturally go down to accompany Brother Li Guo, and now that the matter is over, brothers, I will go first, and we will see you in the next life! ”

With that, Hao Shaoqi turned around and staggered outward, looking extremely desolate with scars and blood stains on his body.

Seeing that Hao Shaoqi was about to walk out of the lobby, a voice rang out: "Brother Hao, slow down!" ”

Everyone looked back, but it was Li Yan, the military advisor.

Li Yan stood up and said loudly, "Brother Hao, don't leave yet." ”

He turned his head to Li Zicheng and said, "King Chuang...... Brother Li Guo is gone, and all the brothers are very sad, but we can't lose another brother because of this. Now that the enemy is current, the Jiang Ning army will come over at any time, we can't do this kind of thing that relatives and enemies are happy! ”

"Hmmm......"

Li Zicheng was angry at first, and was about to get angry, when he suddenly saw the anxious look in Li Yan's eyes, he suddenly moved in his heart, looked around, and found that many generals and leaders in the lobby either showed unbearable expressions in their eyes, or dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and some people even had angry expressions on their faces.

Only then did he realize that although he was the king of Chuang, it did not mean that he could recklessly let others be buried for Li Guo's death, especially an old man like Hao Shaoqi. If he insists on doing so, it is likely to cause the rebels to fall apart.
