Fu Yuanxian urged the team to continue moving forward, and after walking for about an hour, the sky began to gradually darken. Hu Dawei grabbed Fu Yuanxian's horse and said: "Governor, marching at night is not a small risk, if it is raided by the thief army, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous." If it is not done well, there is a risk that the whole army will be in chaos. Moreover, Lord Governor, the thieves discovered our army this morning, and if they fled, by this time, those who could run, such as the bandits, would have already run away. If we can't run, such as the enemy's artillery or something, we can catch up with them if we march in the daytime tomorrow, so why risk marching at night? ”

Fu Yuanxian was about to say something, when suddenly there was a commotion in front, but it turned out that Huang Guo came back with the cavalry to harass him. Although it was already late, he couldn't see how many cavalry of the thief army there were, but Fu Zonglong knew that the cavalry of the thief army was actually quite limited. But the mere harassment of such a small force of cavalry made the army a little flustered. Fu Yuanxian shook his head, he knew that the army he commanded now was far from the army that followed him to pacify the Southern Tusi back then, although they were both called the Great Zhao Official Army. When he crossed the Panjiang River with 5,000 people, he also fought while walking, constantly defeating the barbarian army along the way, and when he relieved the siege of Guiyang, there were also night marches and thieves encountering things.

Although Fu Yuanxian very much hoped to march overnight, the current state of the army made him understand that Hu Dawei's statement was reasonable. So he said, "Is there any place up here for camping?" ”

Hu Dawei was about to say that he would go back a little, and the deserted village he had just passed through was good, but somehow, he came up with such a sentence: "If you go five or six miles ahead, you will arrive at Caojiazhai, which is a good place." ”

In mid-air, the two gods were looking down on Fu Yuanxian's army.

"Niangniang's method of inducing luck is really amazing." A god covered in golden light and holding a pagoda in his hand saluted another god whose figure was hidden in a purple mist.

"It's just a few small tricks that have nothing to do with the avenue." The blue-purple god said: "Although the number of qi in the Great Zhao is exhausted, the hundred-legged insect is dead and not stiff. If you want to interfere with the thinking of the generals of the DPRK and China, if you don't do it well, the backlash will not be small. Now I use the means of hiding from the world and crossing the sea, borrowing Huang Zide's qi to limit the dragon qi of Zhao, and in the future, I will guide the backlash to the people on Huang Zide's side, so that I can avoid my own trouble. But you should also pay attention to the Heavenly King, this hand also has a limit, and it is easy to get out of control, and in doing so, once it gets out of control, the backlash will be stronger than usual. If it weren't for Dazhao's dragon qi, Fu Yuanxian's own luck would have fallen to a limit, and I wouldn't dare to use such a means. With your qualifications, after watching me cast spells, it is very easy to master this little trick. But you must be cautious when using it. ”

"Niangniang's teachings, Xiao Wang remembers." The golden god bowed his head.

The blue-purple god stopped speaking, and the blue-purple light flashed and vanished without a trace; The golden god faded away.

These scenes are naturally invisible to Fu Yuanxian and others. He listened to Hu Dawei's words, thought about it, and nodded: "Since it's only five or six miles, let's go to Caojiazhai and camp again." ”

In fact, Hu Dawei already regretted it a little at this time, Caojiazhai was good, but it was not better than the place just now, and when he arrived at Caojiazhai, it was already dark. Although the moonlight should be good tonight, it is still a little inconvenient to set up a camp after it is completely dark.

This regret became even more obvious after walking three miles, because by this time, the sun had completely set, and a layer of clouds had risen in the sky, covering the originally bright moon, and it was suddenly pitch black for all directions. Fu Yuanxian had no choice but to order the soldiers to light up the pine torches to illuminate it.

This is a very dangerous move at night, as it exposes itself to possible enemy forces, but now without torches, the army can barely move in such darkness, or it may fall into disarray. And now, with only a mile or two to go, the risk of lighting a torch doesn't seem like a big deal.

The torches were lit, and the team of more than 10,000 people turned into a bright fire dragon, moving along the road, winding towards Caojiazhai.

After walking for another two or three miles, it stands to reason that Caojiazhai should be in front of you. It's just that the light of the torches can't reach far, so Caojiazhai is still submerged in darkness.

At this time, the wind began to gradually pick up, and the clouds in the sky suddenly cracked, and a ray of silver-white moonlight leaked down, illuminating the rear of the officers and soldiers.

Then the crack widened rapidly, and if anyone stood in mid-air, they would see the moonlight spread and spread like a tide, and in just a few breaths, the whole army was illuminated.

The boundary between the moonlight and the darkness crossed the front army of the official army and continued to move forward, and the road, which had been hidden in the darkness, as well as the trees and fields on the side of the road, all floated up from the deep darkness.

"Immediately, you should be able to see the village of Caojiazhai right away! It's over there......" Li Guoqi stood beside Fu Yuanxian and pointed to the right side of the official road.

The moonlight continued to move towards Caojiazhai, and finally half of the wall of Caojiazhai collapsed in their eyes.

Caojiazhai was originally a large walled village, but now the village has been abandoned in the famine, and only this fragment of the wall remains.

The moonlight continued to push forward, and then, just on the official road, only a shot away from the front of the official army, a breastwork suddenly appeared, and behind the breastwork, a large line of archers and archers was also revealed. They had drawn their bowstrings, arrows pointing diagonally upwards and forwards glittering in the moonlight.

"It's a thief ......"

The exclamations of the officers and soldiers who were walking in front had just been heard when they were drowned out by the hum of a bowstring vibrating.

"Raise your shield!" Someone shouted, but it was obviously too late to raise the shield now, and before his words fell, he heard a crackling, like the sound of a torrential rain falling to the ground. It was the sound of arrows falling from the archers of the revolutionary army.

With this round of arrow rain, the front row of the officers and soldiers suddenly fell a crowd. The torches they were holding in their hands also fell all over the ground. During the march, no one would put heavy armor on their bodies, and armor, shields, and even many weapons were placed on various vehicles. In this case, if you are attacked with a bow and arrow, even if the opponent only uses a light arrow with limited lethality, the damage caused is not small.

After this round of shooting, the archers quickly completed two rounds of shooting, and the crackling rain of arrows not only killed and injured many officers and soldiers, but also plunged the officers and soldiers into chaos. Some people are shouting, "Lost the torch!" Others ran to the darker places, and others tried to find shields......

Three rounds of arrows were fired, and a large number of revolutionary troops in armor and armed weapons came out from behind the breastwork and rushed towards the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers were originally crossing the river and marching, but they were already very tired, and at this time they were marching again, the soldiers were not wearing armor, and even many of them did not take weapons, and suddenly they were attacked like this, even the elite that Fu Yuanxian commanded in Guizhou back then must also suffer a big loss, not to mention the officers and soldiers today?

As soon as the revolutionary army appeared, He Dalong knew that this battle could no longer be fought, and it would definitely be a big defeat. Fortunately, his men were all cavalry, and it was relatively easy to run. He Dalong didn't wait for Fu Yuanxian's order, and directly ordered the people around him: "Turn around, turn around!" Run back! ”

He Dalong's 1,000 cavalry were all his own soldiers, and he fought a lot of battles with He Dalong, and he was also very familiar with the retreat in front of the enemy. Under the leadership of a few righteous sons, they quickly turned around and fled, leaving Fu Yuanxian and the rest of the officers and soldiers behind.

When the revolutionary army suddenly came up, Fu Yuanxian also panicked for a while, but he quickly calmed down, and immediately sent his personal guards to give He Dalong an order, asking him to lead the cavalry to launch a round of counterattack, so as to win some time for the infantry to rectify. But he had just finished giving the order to the guards when he saw He Dalong's cavalry turn their heads and run directly.

"Quick, come with me to stop Hu Dawei!" He Dalong's actions made Fu Yuanxian immediately think of Hu Dawei, who also had almost only cavalry around him.

However, Fu Yuanxian had just gotten on the horse when he heard an exclamation from there: "Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu has also run away!" Fu Yuanxian looked over there, and sure enough, he saw that Hu Dawei's cavalry had also fled in the northwest direction.

"Fortunately, there is also Li Guoqi, and he still has a lot of infantry ......" Fu Yuanxian could only think like this at this time.

Li Guoqi was beside Fu Yuanxian at this time, he looked at He Dalong and Hu Dawei who were fleeing, and scolded loudly: "He Dalong, Hu Dawei, you two dog thieves, are you worthy of the emperor's great favor to you?" You deserve to die! Lord Governor, if you let the Admiral catch these two dog thieves, you must cut off their heads and make them into night pots! Your Excellency the Governor, why don't you let your subordinates rush with their sons, and the Governor will also take the opportunity to gather the soldiers? ”

Fu Yuanxian didn't have any more ways at this time, so he nodded and said, "So please ask the general." ”

Li Guoqi saluted Fu Yuanxian, then turned over and got on the horse, and shouted to the more than 200 soldiers around him who also followed the horse: "Sons, go with the general to kill the thief!" ”

After shouting, as soon as he grabbed the belly of the horse, he took the lead and rushed out, and his own soldiers rushed out with him. They rushed straight towards the thieves who were constantly chasing the defeated officers and soldiers, and then just as they were about to collide with the thieves, they made a slight turn and galloped away in a northwest-west direction...... Li Guoqi left those infantry behind and ran away.
