Zuo Mengeng had also arrived at the south gate of Guide Mansion at this time. They stayed in Taikang for half a month, and finally collected enough food, so they set off again and came to Guide Province.

Zuo Mengeng asked people to open the city gate, but the officers and soldiers guarding the city didn't dare to open the door when they saw that it was not their own army. After asking which unit it was, I hurried to report it. The prefect and his staff discussed it and unanimously decided not to open the door. Now their troops are fighting the thieves outside, and if they put the famous "Zuojia Army" in, wouldn't it be sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?

After the soldiers defending the city came back, they asked Zuo Mengeng to wait outside the city.

Zuo Mengeng ordered: "Let them send the food and salary!" ”

The soldiers went to the front to shout, but the defenders of the city could not call the shots, so they went back to ask the prefect.

Zuo Mengeng instructed again: "Come on, send this letter to them, and let them hand it over to Hou Gongzi." Let them tell and ask Hou Gongzi to come out for a while. ”

After a while, the head of the city carefully lowered the hanging basket and hoisted the letter up.

"Major marshal, general," a cavalry officer replied, "there are defeated troops coming from the south." ”

Zuo Mengeng was stunned, not knowing what was going on. And Jin Shengheng immediately asked, "How far?" Number? ”

The cavalry replied: "One mile, the number is not clear, but it should be a lot." ”

Although they came here to help suppress the bandits, they didn't think about starting to suppress the bandits immediately. And along the way, they didn't encounter any thieves and bandits who dared to come to find trouble, even the most powerful "one dragon" ran away on their own after hearing their names. So they didn't send out a sentry, so they weren't discovered until the rout was already near.

Before Zuo Mengeng and Jin Shengheng could make a decision, the defeated soldiers had already come to the side of their team.

These defeated soldiers ignored Zuo Mengeng and these people, they rushed to the city gate and slapped the city gate vigorously.

"I'm Bai Baifu, open the door!" A hundred always shouted loudly.

And the other defeated soldiers also shouted: "Open the door!" We are our own people. The thieves are in the back, open the door! ”

The soldiers in the city tried to open the door, but the prefect, who had already arrived from the palace, would not let go. If the door is opened, not to mention the thieves behind, the "Zuo Family Army" outside the city alone will be enough to give him a headache.

In a few moments, more defeated soldiers ran over, slowly followed by the thieves' cavalry. The cavalry of the thieves was like peeling an onion, leisurely slashing and slashing the officers and soldiers who fell behind. They also had the attitude of giving it a try, to see if they could follow the defeated soldiers into the city.

Zuo Mengeng's troops were still sitting on the ground resting, and at this time, seeing so many defeated soldiers rushing towards them, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves behind them, they all stood up from the ground nervously.

"Array! Array! Jin Shengheng was the first to react and ordered loudly.

At the head of the city, seeing the team of thieves getting closer and closer, the prefect ordered in a panic: "Open the cannon, open the cannon!" Blasting the thieves away! ”

"Fuzun, there are our own brothers below." The head of the city reminded Mr. Bai.

"Hurry up and fire! If you make a mistake, you will be punished as a thief! The prefect still commanded loudly in a transfigured voice.

"This, this~" Bai always hesitated in embarrassment. They basically haven't used this Frankie cannon, and no one dares to put it.

And the prefect thought that Mr. Bai did not listen to orders. So he immediately ordered a few officials around him: "Arrested! Punish the crime later! Who is the deputy? Let people fire immediately! ”

Mr. Bai didn't dare to resist, so he had to let those officials catch him. also kept reminding: "Fuzun, that cannon has not been used for many years, so be very careful." ”

"Fire! Hurry up and fire! The prefect saw the thieves' cavalry killing people outside the city, and the thieves' infantry also appeared in his sight, so he intensified his urging.

The soldiers were still very in awe of the prefect, so they had to cower and put a small amount of gunpowder into it, load it with a projectile, and then ignite the fuse in the continuous urging.

With a "boom", the projectile flew out weakly and landed on the heads of Zuo Menggeng's troops who were preparing to line up, and the shells killed more than a dozen people and injured seven or eight. Zuo Mengeng's soldiers blew up in an instant, some began to scold, and some simply shot arrows at the city. The officers and soldiers at the head of the city were attacked, and naturally they began to return fire with artillery fire and bows and arrows, and there was a mess above and below the city.

"@yes!" Zuo Mengeng roared viciously: "Shoot!" Shoot me these bastards! ”

Jin Shengheng saw the rogue infantry coming from afar, as well as the rogue cavalry running back and forth unhurriedly not far away, and immediately persuaded: "Young marshal, let's go!" There are a lot of thieves. ”

Zuo Mengeng roared loudly: "Dare to attack me?!" They're getting impatient! Shoot me! ”

Zuo Mengeng let his subordinates mess around here, and those officers and soldiers who had retreated bypassed the west gate, hoping to enter the city from there.

As the two Franky cannons at the head of the city slowly began to fire skillfully, Zuo Mengeng was a little overwhelmed here. After all, it is artillery, and its power is much greater than that of a bow and arrow. And the thieves' infantry was getting closer and closer, so Zuo Mengeng didn't dare to stay any longer, and moved to Xicheng with his troops.

Yuan Laoshan and Yilong first got a report that the officers and soldiers had fought themselves under the city. They all discussed it, and planned to stop for a while, and then go to pick up the bargain when the officers and soldiers were almost done. But before they could give the order, they received another report that the officers and soldiers had fled westward.

Since there is no hope of entering the city, then don't leave any more hands, hurry up and chase after it. So the two men ordered their men to continue the pursuit.

This chase couldn't be contained, it turned out that the officers and soldiers under Gao Yuanheng fled, and later the soldiers under Zuo Mengeng were also chased outside the West Gate and began to flee westward.

Zuo Mengeng and Jin Shengheng led their soldiers to try to gather their subordinates, but there was constant harassment from the rogue cavalry, so that they would be killed and dispersed every time they just gathered a few hundred people.

Yuan Laoshan and a dragon led the troops to chase behind, and the cavalry scattered the officers and soldiers of the brigade, and the remaining stragglers were brave, some were killed, and some were captured. If these officers and soldiers are willing to join, it will be very helpful for them to improve their combat effectiveness.

"Brother, are we still chasing?" A dragon saw that it was already dusk, so he asked.

Yuan Laoshan was full of confidence, and waved his hand: "Chase!" When these officers and soldiers are swept away, it will be ours to return to Germany! Even if we are recruited in the future, we have to be given the titles of chief soldier and deputy general. ”

Yilong was also very excited after hearing this, and said happily: "Okay! Let's chase it! Killing officials and rebelling is recruited, it is really right! We can also be officials in the future, hahaha! ”
