When he heard the news that the scout said that after the official army occupied Beiliu Village, he immediately divided his troops and began to plunder the surrounding area, Zhao Erdonkey gritted his teeth and said to his subordinates: "This fucking official army is really a bastard to the extreme!" With such a good opportunity, if you don't cross the Qin River in a hurry, but you are plundering here, isn't this helping us? ”

Several generals under Zhao Erdon also laughed with their teeth, and scolded the officials and soldiers for being stupid, so Zhao Erdonkey asked the scouts and the whereabouts of the two sentinels separated by the officers and soldiers, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "This is what Lao Tzu is waiting for, since they are so helpful, then our brothers should not be polite to them!" The scout just said that there is a group of more than 200 officers and soldiers who are attacking Guojiazhuang in the north, let's not wait any longer, take this opportunity to eat these officers and soldiers first! Pack up and go! ”

Not long after, Zhao Erdonkey led his soldiers and generals to walk out of the forest in the ditch, and hurried all the way to Guojiazhuang.

But Guojiazhuang was in full swing at this time, a lame one-legged chief stood on the wall of the village and shouted, commanding more than 100 villagers in Guojiazhuang and the officers and soldiers outside the village to fight fiercely.

At the first time when he learned that the official army was coming, the chief of the village recruited all the village soldiers to the village wall, and after the officers and soldiers arrived here, they were asked to open the village to surrender, but the chief did not say a word, and he used a bird gun to knock over the officers and soldiers who persuaded him to surrender under the village wall.

So this group of officers and soldiers immediately began to attack Guojiazhuang under the command of an officer, and the two sides fought in Guojiazhuang.

The township soldiers here belong to the township soldiers who have just been formed, and the training has not been carried out for long, so the combat effectiveness is not strong, and the weapons equipped are also very poor, only five old bird guns, plus a small number of bows and crossbows and some knives and guns, most of them still only hold hoes and dung forks in their hands, so in the face of the officers and soldiers who are much better equipped than them, they fell into passivity as soon as the war started.

Fortunately, the morale of these township soldiers is not bad, in order to keep Zhuangzi, dare to fight hard, only with the limited weapons at hand, stunned to repel the two attacks of the official army, and killed and wounded more than ten officers and soldiers, but their resistance can only go to this extent, after all, they are not well trained, at the beginning they can still follow their lame chief to resist desperately, but once they encounter casualties, their morale plummets, and they dare not resist desperately anymore by hiding under the village wall.

This chief is also a veteran sent out of the Xingtian army, although lame on one leg, but very brave, personally standing on the village wall desperately resisting the attack of the official army, and constantly beckoning the village soldiers in the village to resist, not long before the two officers and soldiers of the arrows, but he still stood on the village wall and fought, watching the lame chief so desperate to fight and not retreat, which aroused the morale of the township soldiers, so the township soldiers stood up again, desperately to the officers and soldiers under the village wall.

However, the officers and soldiers were better trained and better equipped, and under the cover of bows and arrows, they finally attacked the Zhuang wall, and after the chief cut down an officer and soldier, he was immediately stabbed in the lower abdomen with a spear by another officer and soldier who climbed up the Zhuang wall, and after a miserable snort, he fell on his back to the sky on the Zhuang wall, and before he died, he grabbed the spear of the officer and soldier inserted in his stomach, and still roared freely to let the villagers continue to resist.

At this time, I could only hear the sound of a bean-like bird gun suddenly sounded outside the village, and then the officials and soldiers outside the village were in chaos, and some villagers immediately raised their eyes to look outside the village, and immediately cried: "Brothers! It's the people of the Xingtian Army who are here! We're saved! We're saved! Kill! Kill these bastards! ……”

The villagers on the wall of the village looked towards the outside of the village, and really saw a sentry wearing gray clothes suddenly killed from behind the officials and soldiers, and played a flag of the Xingtian army that the local villagers had long been familiar with in the center, as soon as they appeared, they lined up to release a row of guns towards the officers and soldiers, and when they overturned a piece of officers and soldiers, and then shouted, they rushed over, and the officers and soldiers who were still shouting outside the village were attacked by this group of Xingtian army, and the formation immediately became chaotic.

The 400 Xingtian Army Department faced more than 200 officers and soldiers, plus Zhao Erdonkey was a sudden attack from behind the official army, and the officers and soldiers who were caught off guard did not resist at all, so they were killed by Zhao Erdonkey and fled, and the situation was reversed in an instant. Some officers and soldiers did not have time to escape, and were forced by the villagers in the village to jump directly from the village wall, and the result was either to be killed on the spot under the village wall, or they were broken under the village wall, and lay on the ground screaming.

Zhao Erdonkey was very happy this time, led the troops to chase and kill, and killed more than 200 officers and soldiers on their backs, and immediately killed a small half of the officers and soldiers, and the rest also caught and ran, and broke up on the spot, and finally only a few officials because they were riding horses, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately abandoned their men and fled from here on horseback, and finally escaped, and then Zhao Erdonkey's side suffered few casualties, which was not proportional at all.

After the war, Zhao Erdonkey asked the township soldiers to clean up the battlefield, leaving the three men who were injured in the battle, and left all the weapons captured by the officers and soldiers to the township soldiers in Guojiazhuang, and also left twenty soldiers and a chief, who were responsible for leading the township soldiers in Guojiazhuang and enhancing the ability to defend here, in case the officers and soldiers turned around and retaliated again, and he led his men non-stop to rush towards the next group of officers and soldiers who were robbing in another village.

Ma Liancheng was immediately taken aback after hearing the statements of several officers and soldiers who had escaped from Guojiazhuang, originally he thought that the thieves stationed in Beiliu Village had withdrawn to the thieves' nest in Yangcheng, but he didn't think that they had left at all, but he played a game of hide and seek with them here, and took the opportunity to eat more than 200 of his subordinates.

So he hurriedly sent someone to pick up the other group of people who were sent to take the plundered back, but in the end it was still a step too slow, when he sent people to meet the other way of the officers and soldiers to find the group of officers and soldiers, that group of people had already suffered a catastrophe, the same two hundred officers and soldiers, were killed by Zhao Erdon led almost no one left, just because when they found them in Zhao Erdonkey, they had already attacked a Zhuangzi, was doing evil in the village, slaughtering the villagers in the village, and was blocked in the village by Zhao Erdonkey, and almost none escaped.

The people who connected with Ying's group of officers and soldiers were also shot and killed by the Xingtian Army, and they fled from the Zhuangzi in a hurry.

As soon as Ma Liancheng heard the report of his subordinates, he immediately led the army to pounce on the Zhuangzi where the Xingtian Army appeared, but when they arrived there, the Zhuangzi was empty again, leaving only the mutilated bodies of the officers and soldiers of the village, so Ma Liancheng immediately sent someone to track down the whereabouts of the Xingtian Army, and soon sent a horse to report that the men and horses of the Xingtian Army were escorting the people of this village to a place called Qingsonggou near Qinshui.

When he learned that there were only more than 300 people in this Xingtian army, Ma Liancheng was ruthless, he had to annihilate this gang of thieves, otherwise, if he let this gang of thieves on the east bank of the Qin River, he would not be at ease to cross the Qin River, once the back road was cut off, it would not be a good thing for him.

So he immediately led his troops to Qingsonggou, but when he led his troops to Qingsonggou, but did not see the trace of the Xingtian army, at this time the Malay newspaper said that after the thief army entered Qingsonggou, it ran from the other side of Qingsonggou to Jinjiazhuang in the east.

Ma Liancheng is angry, this group of thieves of the Xingtian Army is too cunning, pulling them 2,000 soldiers and horses, going around in circles in the mountains in this area, not fighting them head-on at all, and having no choice but to lead his generals to Jinjiazhuang again.

As a result, after arriving at Jinjiazhuang, there were still people here who went to the empty house, and the villagers in the village were gone, and sent a horse scout to search, and the result was that the people of Jinjiazhuang were found to be in the mountains with this group of thieves before the official army arrived, and now they don't know where to go.

In the past two days, Ma Liancheng took his 2,000 men and horses around in this area, sending countless scouts, and every time he found the trace of this gang of thieves, he led his troops to rush over, and they all pounced, but the result was that the tired people were sleepy and lacking horses, but they could not catch this gang of thieves.

However, on the third day, news came from Beiliu Village, which had been taken by the officials and soldiers as their own, that a group of thieves suddenly killed Beiliu and tried to break into the camp set up by the officials and troops in Beiliu, so he quickly led his troops back to Beiliu Village, but when he returned, the gang of thieves ran away without a trace, but killed and wounded dozens of officers and soldiers who stayed in the Beiliu camp.

This time Ma Liancheng was mad, he understood the cunning of the thief army this time, but he didn't expect that there were less than 400 thief troops, but they were like monkeys, playing so many of them and so many officers and legions, but they never caught this gang of thieves, they were always half a beat slower, and they could only follow behind the butt of this gang of thieves to smell the fart.

At this time, one of his subordinates said to Ma Liancheng: "Ma Garrison, it's not a way to go on like this, we won't be dragged down by this gang of thieves!" It's better to find a way to force them out! So many of our brothers in the province are wandering around this area every day. ”

Ma Liancheng immediately asked, "Then do you have any way to force this gang of thieves out?" ”

The general of this subordinate immediately said: "The purpose of this gang of thieves is obvious, that is, they don't want us to cross the Qin River and enter their territory in Hexi, and now the summer harvest is imminent, it is obvious that the thief army is afraid that after we cross the river to Hexi, we will destroy the grain in the fields of the untouchables, rather than this, we might as well make a move to go to the Qin River, make the appearance of crossing the river, and force this gang of thieves to appear, and when the time comes, after they appear, we will not be too late to clean them up!" ”
