When Lu Shi rushed to the battlefield of Ximen with the infantry, Guo Tianxing had been chasing Zhang Yuan with the black bull for a long time, and it seemed that the plan to use the cavalry to drag Zhang Yuan and wait for the brigade to come and destroy it had failed.

Listening to the remaining prison sergeant report on the whole process of the battle, Lu Shi took a closer look on the ice, and found that the route of Zhang Yuan's team leaving was densely packed with small nail eyes, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly realized, he really sighed that there were capable people under Zhang Yuan, isn't this a copy of the spikes of later generations? No wonder Zhang Yuan's Xiang Yong can walk like flying on the ice, it is all given by these skates, it seems that it is too late to make spikes by himself, not to mention that there are no raw materials, that is, to make them, and Zhang Yuan will run away.

Thinking that the commander must have no way to take Zhang Yuan, who was wearing skates, and now he couldn't catch up if he wanted to, so he left the spearmen and the archery battalion brothers to rest at the West Gate, and he took a few heralds to ride Xiaobai to chase after Tianxing, hoping that he could observe this strange battle situation with his own eyes and accumulate some experience for the next similar battlefield situation.

When he rushed for nearly thirty miles, he caught up with the depressed Guotianxing troops, Guotianxing was following Zhang Yuan's side while chasing, saying that it was fighting, it was simply a send-off, the bow and arrow were not as good as others, the protection was not as good as others, and there was nothing to be done about the chaotic rotation of the Tianxing.

He also used the advantage of his war horse to send a part of the cavalry to the head, and then dismounted and walked to the ice to intercept Zhang Yuan, but he still suffered a loss on the ice, and fell down by himself if he was not careful, so that Zhang Yuan could kill his own people on his back and lose dozens of brothers in vain. Such a wretched battle has been fought by Tianxing for the first time.

Zhang Yuan's Xiangyong was originally defeated by the army, but now it is a smooth fight, the original low morale has been restored again, and there is an increase, after all, these Xiangyong have been trained by blood and fire, plus the fight is easy, and the arrogance is not good for a while.

Guo Tianxing was helpless, and he was also ruthless, scolding at the ice; "Zhang Yuanxiao'er, if you have the ability, you will go all the way to Gansu along the ice, I will spend it with you today, and we will spend it until the earth is barren." The stars have begun to sprinkle and play scoundrels.

Guo Tianxing's scolding was just exchanged for a burst of cynicism from Zhang Yuanxiangyong, and he continued to provoke the invading army, but the speed of the march was even faster. When Guo Tianxing was frowning, the sound of horses' hooves behind him, looking back, it was Lu Shi who was beating the horse and galloping, Guo Tianxing was overjoyed, stretching his neck to look behind Lu Shi, hoping to see the figure of the longbow, no, nothing, think about it, thirty miles, when the longbowmen caught up, Zhang Yuan ran away early.

Guo Tianxing hung his head and met Lu Shi in frustration, and was about to say something, but Lu Shi waved his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Don't blame yourself, the commander, I didn't expect Zhang Yuan's subordinates to have such a capable person, and made spikes to prevent slipping, it seems that this is the endless Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan, a little strong, must stay and cause chaos for us." ”

"Isn't there a way for you to restrain that pickled goods?" Black Tiger Star looked at the almighty King Chuang with anticipation with everyone, hoping that Lu Shi would come up with an idea.

"In fact, there are two solutions, one is to build spikes and anti-slip like Zhang Yuan, but time and materials do not allow, and the other is to use our bed crossbow to fire explosives to blast the ice surface and prevent Zhang Yuan from advancing, but the bed crossbow is too heavy, it is not easy to carry, and there is no way." Lu Shi spread out his hands and said helplessly.

When everyone heard that there was no way to break into the king, they sighed together in discouragement. At this time, the supervisor in front of the sergeant reported that the army in front arrived at Shimen, and there was a big river from the north that met with the Luo River, and the ice surface was even wider, and what was even worse was that not only this big river blocked the cavalry of the Black Tiger Army, but at the confluence of the big river, the Luo River cut through the mountains in the north and became a cliff, and we could not pass through the cliff even if we got down the horse. “

As he was talking, the Zhang Yuan team suddenly burst into cheers, raised his eyes, and saw that Zhang Yuan Xiangyong had passed through the confluence of the two rivers, and began to go ashore in a huge gap between the cliffs, just under the nose of the Black Tiger Army, drilled into the forest-covered deep mountains and old forests, and killed hundreds of war horses and donkeys that could not enter the mountains before leaving, and then left more than 100 loud voices of Xiang Yong shouted to the army together: "Thank you for sending the thief away, you don't have to be polite, we will have a date later." "A few times like this, the angry Guotianxing almost vomited blood. But he could only watch Xiang Yong disappear into the mountains and forests without a trace.

In this pursuit battle, in addition to the loss of dozens of brothers, the only gain was the hundreds of war horses and livestock that Zhang Yuan ordered to kill, that is, tens of thousands of catties of horse meat and donkey meat, so that the Chuang army temporarily had meat to eat.

This time, Guo Tianxing hit a soy sauce all the way, and when he arrived, he broke the soy sauce bottle, which was really worth the loss.

Lu Shi watched Zhang Yuan go away, and he had no choice but to comfort the commander. Then he returned to the camp with the dead horse dejected.

When I returned to the camp, I saw thousands of people and horses from afar around the west gate of Ganquan and shouting, it seemed that everyone was very excited, Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing glanced at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward. When I looked closely, it was all over the sky and other pole horse bandits, who were making loud noises around Cao Meng's team drinking Chen Che who was blocking the west gate.

When everyone saw that Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing were coming, they all separated the road to let them pass, but the leaders of those pole horse bandits and Man Tianfei were the first to come to Lu Shi to theorize.

It turned out that after Lu Shi left, everyone knew that Ganquan was going to open the city and let the poles enter the city to loot, and now those poles, including Mantianfei, could no longer sit still.

Conquering the county seat, a place where materials are distributed, it is a great thing that these pole bandits dream of, so they have to reorganize their soldiers and horses to enter the city, hoping that they will be the first to enter the city, so as to win the fattest and best things, but Cao Meng and Chen Che know the consequences of these people entering the city, and the reputation of the benevolent and righteous division that the army has built up with great difficulty will be ruined, so they try to persuade everyone not to enter the city, and wait for the king and the general to come back, but no matter what you say, those red-eyed pole bandits who are stimulated by greed will not listen to anything, if it weren't for the strong military power that the army had just shown, maybe it would have been a firefight.

It was so noisy and noisy, everyone began to get impatient, the smell of gunpowder became stronger, and the situation was about to erupt, and the original friendly troops and friends were about to meet each other. At this time, Guo Tianxing and Lu Shi rushed back in time.

As soon as Lu Shi's army arrived, he was afraid that he would open the county seat, and everyone rushed up and looted the county seat, which brought huge losses to the good reputation that the army had saved so hard, after all, his brother was in charge of it, but the other friendly troops were absolutely difficult to restrain it, and in the face of huge interests, where could it be restrained? And for the reputation that he has obtained with this difficulty, maybe he will meet with the current friendly swordsmen, then in turn, the rivers and lakes will definitely spread the word of revenge on their own kindness, and they will not be righteous when they divide the accounts with the friendly forces who have helped them, then they will be isolated from other forces, and if there is such a crisis, no one will come to the rescue, so Lu Shi has no choice but not to attack Ganquan, and he has to come up with a lot of benefits to buy and return to the friendly army.

But people are not as good as heaven, and I don't know what kind of madness that Ganquan County Ling and Qianhu smoked, so they took the initiative to give up the county seat, as long as they didn't attack the military camp and withdraw from the county seat afterwards. Now it seems that the county order and Qianhu are really smart characters and have a good calculation.

First of all, as soon as Zhang Yuan left, the county seat was like a ripe peach, let it be picked, the county order and the thousand households became the guilty officials who lost the city and land, and the court must not spare him, and Shangfeng will also use him as a scapegoat to cut off their heads. But in this way, there is an argument, the city is broken, we are still resisting, then it is not considered to lose the city, not only is he not guilty, but also has merit. At the same time, once the army and friendly troops enter the city, then the above-mentioned fire fight will definitely appear, and the Ganquan official army can watch their forces fight hard and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but they have military merits. This invisibly forced the army to a dead end, and let itself advance or retreat.

When the master came, Lu Shi also thought that there would be a situation where friendly troops would be impatient and take advantage of the fire to rob, so he ordered Chen Che and Cao Meng not to let everyone rush into the city, and they must wait for themselves to come back before acting, but now that they have come back by themselves, the situation is also developing according to the path they least want to see.

Guo Tianxing is also helpless, he is a righteous person, and he is grateful to his brothers for coming to help when they are in the most dangerous time, where do you want to say a word that offends your friends?

It's that the black bull is not happy, most of these disobedient people were summoned by his black bull, and now they are actually embarrassing their own king, aren't they just unable to get along with themselves? The battle was not fought well, and he was holding back the fire in his belly, when he jumped up and pointed at a man and scolded: "Okay, you are a flower, when Lao Tzu invited you to come, you patted your chest and promised, saying that this time you will break into the army and not give a grain of rice, you will stick a knife in the ribs for your friend, to repay me for reaching out to help and save my life, now it's okay, and now I am fascinated by those things?" Just forget all those vows of yours? You're still not a man? ”

The flower was shortened by the black bull, and he blushed and lost his confidence at that time, and explained to the black bull in a low voice: "Brother Heiniu, it's not that I'm not angry, but I didn't say it this time, but the brothers under my command heard that Ganquan County was open, and they all shouted to go to Ganquan City to be happy, you know, our brothers are all miserable, which one is not looking at this flower world?" ”

The black bull didn't listen to his explanation, jumped up and shouted at the other horse bandit leader: "And you, I invited you to help you at the beginning, and promised to give you each a sabre, but now I have promised and satisfied you, you are a thing that has lost your conscience, you still have to inch you, and damage the name of our army?" ”

The leader of the horse thieves stiffened his neck and retorted loudly: "Brother Black Bull, what you said is not right, our brothers are brothers, business is business, I rescue your brother, I should get something in return, we are clear, now Ganquan Dog Official takes the initiative to open the city to let the brothers be happy, what are you doing?" If you are afraid of fame, then you should not enter the city, and watch your brother be happy outside. ”

"You dare, if you dare to tarnish the reputation of this army, I will be over with you."

"What if it's not over? Do you dare to kill me? ”

When the black bull heard that he was angry at that time, he pulled out his waist knife at that time; "If you dare to ruin my reputation for breaking into the army, I'll cut you right now."

As soon as the horse bandit and his brother saw the black bull move the knife, they shouted together and pulled out the waist knife together, they were in a mess here, and other unknown people also shouted and shouted, of course, the army couldn't watch their brothers suffer, one by one, they immediately formed a team, and quickly lined up to confront those people,

For a while, there was a confrontation of swords and guns outside Ganquan City, and a fierce fight was about to begin.
