After Xiao Tianjian finished the battle in Hexi Village, he left Luo Li and led his troops to the Beiliu area to support Zhao Erdonkey, who was stationed here, to resist the officers and troops who came all the way from Zezhou.

Before he left Hexi Village, he heard the news that the officials and soldiers of Zezhou had already killed them in the Beiliu area.

Originally, he planned to travel day and night to Beiliu, but then he received the news sent by Zhao Erdonkey, saying that they had abandoned Beiliu Village, teased the official regiment east of the Qin River, and ate nearly 400 soldiers and horses of the official army.

Therefore, considering that after the first battle in Hexi, the consumption of ammunition was relatively large, so in order to be safe, he did not rush to the east of the Qinhe River, but led his troops to slow down on the road and sent people to replenish a batch of ammunition before rushing to the Qinhe.

In his opinion, Zhao Erdonkey's guerrilla warfare method is very much to his liking, and with a small number of troops adopting the method of guerrilla warfare, it is completely possible to drag down the officers and troops all the way in the direction of Zezhou, and constantly consume the enemy's vital forces in the movement warfare until his energy is exhausted, and when the time comes, he can easily solve this group of officers and troops by leading his troops to the east bank of the Qin River.

But what he never expected was that when he led his troops to the west bank of the Qin River, he heard news from the scouts, saying that Zhao Erdonkey led his troops to have a fierce battle with a large number of officers and troops in the area of Liujiabao in the east of the river.

Xiao Tianjian became anxious at this time, and hurriedly led his troops to speed up, crossed the river in the upper reaches of the Qin River, and rushed towards the area of Liujiabao, when they arrived five miles away from the north of Liujiabao, they began to faintly hear the rumbling sound of artillery and guns from the direction of Liujiabao, and they also encountered a small group of officers and soldiers who did not collect at night.

As soon as the officers and soldiers saw the brigade of the Xingtian Army, they immediately turned around and galloped away, fleeing to the location where their main force was, so Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered the whole army to rush to Liujiabao at the speed of a rapid march to rescue Zhao Erdonkey, who was besieged in Liujiabao.

But when he arrived outside Liujiabao, he found that things were much worse than he expected, from the telescope, he saw that the village wall of Liujiabao had been bombed by the official army was full of holes, tattered, and the number of people on the village wall was also very small, which made him a little surprised, with his understanding of the Xingtian Army combat team, even if Zhao Erdonkey's troops were much less than the official army, as long as he led his troops to guard a place like Liujiabao, with the new bird gun in their hands, they should not be too weak in terms of firepower, Why did this battle become such a virtue, it was obviously pressed and beaten by the officials and soldiers, but there was not much power to fight back.

So he didn't dare to slack off anymore, and immediately waved his division to kill the officers and soldiers besieging Liujiabao, this time the strength of the two armies was similar, Xiao Tianjian did not hesitate at all, and after arriving at the battlefield, he immediately supervised the army to launch an attack on the official army.

In the face of such a sharp blow from the Xingtian Army, Ma Liancheng was dumbfounded on the spot, just now he thought that the Xingtian Army was not enough, but when this large group of thieves arrived, he saw the fierceness of the Xingtian Army, especially when the two armies fought, the other party's gun tactics, even if a group of officers and soldiers in front of the other officer's army formation were beaten on their backs, and the cavalry wanted to repeat the old tricks to assault the opponent's phalanx, but the result was very miserable, and the remaining more than 100 cavalry in his hand had not yet been killed within 30 steps of the Xingtian Army's large array, he was beaten off his horse one after another, and then was counterattacked by the opponent's cavalry, and he swept away the cavalry on his hand.

Then the Xingtian Army pushed flat in a large phalanx, the two wings were the constant bombardment of the birds, the side was the Xingtian Army's artillery close shooting, the solid bullets scattered repeatedly poured on the heads of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers fell one after another, although they also resisted at first, mobilized artillery to bombard the Xingtian Army, but in the face of the accurate shooting of the Xingtian Army, the gunners in front of the formation fell to the ground, and soon the gunners on the side of the official army were swept away, and finally the spearmen of the Xingtian Army stabbed tactics.

More than 2,000 officers and troops suddenly collapsed and fled in all directions, and a large number of village soldiers were also sprinkled on the side of the Xingtian army, and began to pursue and kill these defeated soldiers in all directions.

This time Ma Liancheng was not as lucky as Niu Tai last time, when the official army collapsed, the soldiers escorted him and wanted to escape from here, but at this time, a projectile hit, right under Ma Liancheng's ribs, Ma Liancheng was lifted off the horse's back, and the family couldn't save him, even if Ma Liancheng was trampled under the feet of the rout, he was trampled into scum on the spot, and died tragically outside Liujiabao.

The only thing that made Xiao Tianjian regret was that he had planned to fight another war of annihilation, but because of the drastic change in the situation, he led the army into the battle in a hurry, and just defeated the official army, it was dark, so that the Xingtian army did not have more time to besiege and kill the entire official army, and the good plan was disrupted, making this battle only a defeat battle, but failed to do its best, and ate all the officers and soldiers, and a considerable number of the scattered officers and soldiers took advantage of the cover of night to escape from the battlefield. The results of this battle were greatly reduced.

After defeating this official army, Xiao Tianjian ordered his soldiers to chase and suppress the officers and soldiers separately, while leaving Li Xuanzhu to clean up the battlefield, while he himself entered Liujiabao with an iron head to comfort Zhao Erdonkey, a sentinel horse.

Looking at Zhao Erdonkey, who was kneeling on the ground covered in blood and pleading guilty, Xiao Tianjian stretched out his hand to help him up, and said to Zhao Erdonkey with apologies: "It's me who is late for rescue!" Let you brothers suffer! Get up, Zhao Erdonkey, everyone is safe! ”

Zhao Erdonkey stood up at this time, and Xiao Tianjian personally appeased the remaining Zhao Erdonkey's subordinates one by one, ordered them to go down to rest immediately, and handed over this place to the newly arrived generals to take over, and at the same time comforted the villagers of Liujiabao, and greatly praised the township soldiers who participated in the war.

But Xiao Tianjian was a little strange, with the combat effectiveness of Zhao Erdonkey's soldiers, even if there was an encounter today, there shouldn't be such a big loss!

With the current establishment of 400 sentry soldiers, Zhao Erdonkey should have at least 380 soldiers under his command, but when he entered Zhuangzi, he saw that there were less than 100 soldiers who could still stand, was this battle so tragic?

So Xiao Tianjian took advantage of the time when Zhao Erdonkey was taken down and bandaged, and recruited two of his sentry generals to the front, and inquired in detail about the situation of today's battle, and the two team generals told Xiao Tianjian the details of their defeat this time.

When it was said that after their team was rushed by the official cavalry, Zhao Erdonkey ordered to speed up the retreat to Liujiabao, the team began to be chaotic, and was covered by the official cavalry, and collapsed, so that nearly half of the manpower was lost outside the village.

After Xiao Tianjian heard this, he became furious, and scolded with a blue face: "Bastard! It's nonsense! ”

When the two team generals saw Xiao Tianjian suddenly angry, they both lowered their heads in shame and didn't dare to say any more.

Xiao Tianjian held back the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, waved his hand and said to the two team leaders: "You guys go down and rest!" Wait a minute, after Zhao Erdonkey is bandaged, let him come over to see me! ”

After a while, Zhao Erdonkey changed his clothes, wiped his face and returned to Xiao Tianjian's face, seeing that Xiao Tianjian's face was very bad, so he quickly bowed his head and pleaded guilty to Xiao Tianjian: "General Qiyu, today is a lowly command without a way, so that it caused today's defeat!" Please forgive the General! ”

"Forgiveness? You can simply say that the sin is unforgivable! Zhao Er Donkey! I said, what's good about you? Have you forgotten all the things I've been telling you? Actually in the formation is out of order, but you order to speed up and retreat, do you know what you are doing? How did your brain grow? Xiao Tianjian finally couldn't suppress his anger and scolded Zhao Erdonkey angrily.

Zhao Erdonkey shuddered, and quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "What the general scolded is that it is the fault of the humble position!" Please, general! ”

Xiao Tianjian saw that Zhao Erdonkey's attitude was not bad, so he shook his head and said, "That's it!" In the past few days, you have performed quite well, and this time I will not hold you accountable! You can go down and think about it! As a sentinel, every decision you make is related to the life and death of hundreds of your brothers, and you don't have to think about the reward this time! It's also a punishment for you! ”

After Zhao Erdonkey heard Xiao Tianjian's words, his face was full of shame, and he didn't dare to say anything more, and after thanking him again and again, he turned around and retreated.

After this battle, the officers and troops of Qinshui and Zezhou were defeated, and the loss of soldiers and horses was almost more than 5,000 people, which can be said to be much greater than the last time Niu Tai lost in the battle of Beiliu, and it is needless to say that the responsibility is needless to say, the two teams of officers and generals were killed in front of the army, and they were not held accountable again, and the officers and troops who attacked Yangcheng from Jiangxian County also suffered from the stubborn resistance of Jiang Cheng's department stationed in Qiaojiazhuang in the mountains, and it was always in the Qiaojiazhuang area, and it was difficult to advance an inch.

And what made the officers and soldiers of this road even more unexpected was that they had just entered the mountains and began to attack the area of Qiaojiazhuang, and news came from behind, saying that a baggage team of the officers and soldiers of this road was suddenly attacked by a thief cavalry, and the number of cavalry of the thief army was not much, only the scale of more than 100 people, but it was a man and two horses, coming and going like the wind, and under the unguarded situation of the baggage team transporting military rations, they suddenly killed them, and killed one of the commanders of the baggage team on the spot, and dispersed the officers and soldiers who transported the grain, and set fire to the grain cart to burn it clean. Then they quickly disappeared into the mountains, and they didn't know where they came from.

And led a hundred cavalry to raid the Jiangxian official army grain road is not a bystander, it is the secret acceptance of Xiao Tianjian's assignment of Wang Chengping's cavalry, Wang Chengping by Xiao Tianjian's instructions, in advance led the troops from a small road in the southwest of Yangcheng in the mountains sneaked into Jiangxian to ambush, only waiting for the official army to enter the mountain, saw the opportunity, the official army on the back of the road to knock hard, with a very small number of troops, but contained the entire army from Jiangxian County, but also advantageously supported the town of Qiaojiazhuang around the Jiang Cheng Division.

The grain road was cut off, which suddenly made the officers and soldiers of this road panic, coupled with the fierce resistance of the soldiers stationed in the area of Qiaojiazhuang, and a lot of hunters helped them, often attacking the camp of the official army, the officers and soldiers of this road immediately had no will to fight, in order to avoid being blocked by the thief army in the mountains and breaded dumplings, as a last resort, the officers and soldiers of this road had to give up the attack, and retreated to Jiangxian in a gloomy manner.

After returning to Jiangxian County, they soon learned the news of the defeat of the two official armies of Qinshui County and Zezhou, so the generals who led the army were all secretly glad that they had retreated wisely, if it were not for this, after the thief army freed up, they might immediately gather heavy troops and go to Qiaojiazhuang to deal with them, and it was estimated that if that was the case, they would also follow in the footsteps of the other two official armies and be wiped out in the mountains of Yangcheng.
