After listening to the advice of this subordinate, Ma Liancheng also figured out the thoughts of this group of thieves, so he immediately nodded and agreed, and the next morning, he ordered the camp to be pulled out and went straight to the Qin River.

Zhao Erdonkey was feeling proud of the fact that in the past three days, he had made this group of officers and soldiers move around, but he heard the news from the scout that the officers and soldiers were trying to cross the river, and he was suddenly startled, Xiao Tianjian said that he wanted him to drag this group of officers and soldiers on the east bank of the Qin River, and did not allow the officers and soldiers to cross the river in large numbers, otherwise he would never be spared, but now the officers and soldiers suddenly gave up his team of soldiers and horses, and they wanted to forcibly cross the Qin River, so once they were allowed to cross the Qin River, Xiao Tianjian would definitely not spare him.

So he hurriedly got up and led his subordinates to chase in the direction of the Qin River, far away near Liujiabao, he saw that this group of officers and soldiers had arrived at the Qin River, and made a posture to cross the river.

So Zhao Erdonkey didn't dare to slack off anymore, and immediately ordered a formation and yelled loudly at the officers and soldiers by the river, so as to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, and at the same time interfere with their river crossing operations.

After Ma Liancheng led his troops to the Qin River, he saw that the Qin River was not a big river, and the river was not wide, there was originally a temporary bridge here, but it had been demolished by the Xingtian Army.

But in fact, Ma Liancheng had been paying attention to the direction behind him, watching for whether the thief army that had been playing with him for three days would appear, and sure enough, this matter was expected by his subordinates, and soon after he arrived next to the Qin River, a thief army appeared in the direction of the dirt slope behind him, and immediately lined up, as if it had the intention of forcing towards them.

This time, Ma Liancheng smiled, and finally forced this group of thieves out, so he immediately ordered to give up the bridge, turned around and pounced on Zhao Erdonkey's group of Xingtian Army.

"Zhao Whistle General, it seems that something is wrong! The officers and soldiers seem to be waiting for us here! Zhao Erdonkey's deputy, Yang Chengzong, said to Zhao Erdonkey.

Zhao Erdonkey raised his hand to stop his subordinates who were marching, and looked at this officer army, sure enough, this officer and army gave up building a bridge at a very fast speed, but began to form a formation and turned around to meet them, and there were more than 200 cavalry rushed out of the official army formation, and rushed towards them, and did not build any bridge to cross the river at all, so Zhao Erdonkey patted his head and said: "Damn it!" We've been fooled! This official army is trying to force us to show up, so that we can be wrapped up here! Remove! Hurry up and retreat to Liujiabao! ”

Although the Xingtian army is very powerful, but on the east bank of the Qin River in the Pingchuan River, with four hundred against three thousand, Zhao Erdonkey does not feel that he is a fierce general, and he can lead his troops to defeat the three thousand officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, not to mention that the terrain here is very unfavorable for them, once they are surrounded, they will not even have a chance to escape, so the safe way is to find a support first, and then resist with the support, if they are surrounded by the official army here, even if the soldiers are very brave, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of trouble.

So the team that was marching immediately turned around and hurried in the direction of Liujiabao, and began to widen the distance between them and the officers and soldiers.

As mentioned above, because the peasant army had raged in this area in the early years, many villages along the Qin River have built village forts to defend themselves, and now the village forts on both sides of the Qin River in the east of Yangcheng are basically all in the hands of the Xingtian Army, and the big landowners in the village were almost killed by the Xingtian Army, and only the remaining part of the large households surrendered to the Xingtian Army to be saved.

And this Liujiabao was originally a village fort conquered by the Xingtian Army, but Liu Baoqing, the big landlord in the village, unfortunately did not escape, and was cut off half of his head by his Zhuang Ding on the spot and died on the village wall.

At present, Liujiabao is also a Zhuang Fort controlled by the chief of the security sent by the Xingtian Army, the official army came here to cross the river today, and the township soldiers of Liujiabao discovered the actions of the official army for the first time, and sent someone to notify Zhao Erdonkey, and at this time Zhao Erdonkey saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately withdrew in the direction of Liujiabao, hoping to enter Liujiabao, defend according to the fort, and block the siege of the official army here.

Ma Liancheng saw that this group of thieves was about to escape, so he immediately sent two hundred cavalry brought by his command to chase after Zhao Erdonkey and a sentry horse, and finally caught this big fish, Ma Liancheng couldn't let this damn thief army run away anyway, and now he gritted his teeth for this gang of thieves, and he couldn't wait to tear this gang of thieves alive.

So the two hundred cavalry immediately rushed out of the formation, towards Zhao Erdonkey's sentry men and horses, no matter how fast the legs were, they couldn't outrun the cavalry in a short distance, even if the soldiers of the Xingtian Army were good at long-distance running, and soon the cavalry of this official army intercepted Zhao Erdonkey's way of the sentry two miles away from Liujiabao.

Seeing that Zhao Erdonkey, who had no time to retreat into Liujiabao, was also anxious when he arrived here, and immediately ordered to form a formation on the spot and slowly marched towards Liujiabao.

And the cavalry of the official army, after intercepting Zhao Erdonkey's sentry horse, immediately turned the horse's head and met Zhao Erdon's gang of Xingtian troops.

Zhao Erdonkey couldn't get out, so he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers! Let's fight with this group of officers and soldiers here today! Nothing can be said to fall the prestige of our Heavenly Army! Quickly form a hollow phalanx! ”

So more than 370 generals of the Xingtian Army immediately took Zhao Erdonkey in the center and formed a hollow phalanx unique to the Xingtian Army, meeting this group of officers and cavalry blocking the road.

This kind of phalanx can be large or small in terms of strength, and the firecrackers are concentrated in the four corners, and among the sentry men and horses under Zhao Erdonkey, the number of firecrackers is roughly about one hundred and twenty people, and they are evenly distributed to the four corners of the phalanx, with thirty firecrackers in each corner, and the four sides are composed of pikemen and sword players, and each side has a team general in charge.

After the phalanx was formed, Zhao Erdonkey raised his hand and shouted, "Fire Hammer Ready!" ”

In the face of the two horns of the cavalry of the official army, the musketeers immediately began to load the gunpowder, and the promotion of paper shell bullets in the Xingtian army was of great help to the loading speed of the gunners of the Xingtian army, so that when they completed a load, the loading speed of the gunners was about twice as fast as that of the gunners of the official army, and soon they all completed the loading work, lit the rope of the bird's guns, and stuck it on the open dragon head.

The musketeers puffed out their cheeks one by one, constantly blowing on the firerope, keeping the firerope from extinguishing, ready to engage in battle, while the pikemen clenched their spears one by one and looked calmly at the group of officers and cavalry blocking the road opposite.

And this time the situation was undoubtedly very sinister for them, the generals of the Sentinel Heavenly Army, who had never tried to be blocked by so many enemy troops in an open field that could not be defended, and they could not advance or retreat.

But Zhao Erdonkey also aroused his blood at this time, and cheered up his subordinates loudly in the team, although these generals were nervous, they did not panic on time, but calmly waited for the arrival of the officers and soldiers, as for whether they could survive this time, it is no longer a matter of concern to them, since the matter has come to this, even if they die, they must fight for the Xingtian Army.

"Brothers, stabilize Lao Tzu and tell you that Lao Tzu is the first person in the Xingtian Army to come out with the general, and what battle have you not seen? How can you be afraid of these officers and soldiers? The general said that as long as the banner of our Xingtian Army does not fall, we will never give up! Lao Tzu personally holds the flag today, see what these officers and soldiers can do with us! All cheered up, today these damn officers and soldiers must know that we are powerful, and nothing can be said to fall the prestige of our Heavenly Army! Kill! Zhao Erdonkey personally snatched the flag of the Xingtian Army from the hands of the flag bearer, held it high in the air, and roared loudly.

With the roar of Zhao Erdonkey, the more than 300 members of the Xingtian Army also roared in unison: "Kill ......"

"Xingtian Dance is a ......," Zhao Erdonkey then roared.

"Fierce will always be there!" More than 300 people immediately shouted.

"Xingtian Army!"

"Mighty ......"

The roar of more than 300 people, like thunder in the earth, exploded on the east bank of the Qin River, startling the faces of the officers and cavalry who blocked their way one by one, they didn't expect this thief army to be so strong-willed, seeing that they were going to block the way, there was no way to enter the ground and no way to go to the sky, but there was no sign of chaos, but it was more like stimulating their ferocity, and they couldn't help but make this group of officers and soldiers look at each other a little.

The leader of the team was a total of Qian surnamed Liu, and after seeing the performance of this group of Xingtianjun, his heart suddenly jumped a few times, and he said to his subordinates with a dry smile on his face: "I! It's just a bunch of outlaws! Where are they afraid? Now that we have ten times more troops than them, are we still afraid that they will not be able to fly with their wings? No matter how powerful they are, will they be able to escape? Lao Tzu doesn't believe it!

It's all up to Lao Tzu, this battle has finally caught this gang of thieves, no matter what, we can't let them run away, we have pulled out this work! Isn't it just more than 300 thieves? Give Lao Tzu a burst and crush them! Kill them all! Kill the thief! ”

The more than 200 subordinates who followed him, after hearing their official roar, also drew their swords one after another, raised their arms and shouted: "Kill the thief!" Kill the thief! Kill the thief! ”

However, their roar is obviously not as neat and majestic as the Xingtian Army, but it also boosted their morale, after all, the cavalry has a great advantage over the infantry, according to what they think, under normal circumstances, under the basic equal amount of troops, their cavalry can occupy an absolute advantage, only one charge, after breaking up the opponent's formation, the enemy can be dispersed, and then you can start a one-sided slaughter.

The cavalry of these officers and soldiers had nothing to doubt about this, so after they shouted, the cavalry of the two hundred officers and soldiers immediately roared, began to urge the war horses under their crotches, and rushed towards the array of the Xingtian Army.

At this time, the villagers and villagers in Liujiabao also heard the movement outside the village, and they climbed the village wall early under the leadership of the security chief, and looked towards the north of the village with their hands on the pergola.
