After saying that, Jiao Ting's sledgehammer went straight to Sun An's door, and the sledgehammer passed as soon as he snorted, Sun An didn't dare to parry and hurriedly dodged. Sledgehammer-type weapons are extraordinary, and iron-sword weapons simply cannot parry. The two sides fought in one place, hammering and swords, and the fight was not fierce.

Li Kui and Bao Xu led the team to kill with the group of knife and pistols, and the knife hands were just that, although the combat effectiveness was not bad, but there was no way to compare with Li Kui's plate axe soldiers and Bao Xu's big sword soldiers, and the thin single knife basically had no ability to fight back under the attack of the plate axe. But the twenty or so men with small spears are really amazing, they are all playing with their lives, not defending at all, you cut his arm with an axe, he stabs you directly in the throat, often the same end, and fast, and unusually calm, at first glance is a long-trained veteran. Fortunately, the heavy sword soldiers have taken the advantage, the fifteen-pound heavy sword has taken advantage of the small flower gun, the gun shaft of the small flower gun is not iron, but the ash rod, the ash rod can't stop the slashing of the heavy sword at all, the small flower gun weapon is slightly short and the defense is poor, there is no way to resist the plate axe and the big sword, Rao is such a fight Li Kui and Bao Xu brought ten people, the injury does not need to be seen, even Li Kui and Bao Xu are covered in blood, and they can't tell whether it is the blood of the enemy or their own blood. However, Sun An's more than 50 people have all been annihilated, and there are people with single knives and small spears lying all over the ground.

Jiao Ting and Sun An fought very hard, Sun An's skills were very high and strong, if it weren't for the fact that all the soldiers under him were dead, Sun An was seriously distracted, and Jiao Ting would have been defeated long ago. Jiao Ting's sledgehammer is too heavy, the sledgehammer is originally a quick weapon, and it will be over when you kill it, once you meet a master of the same level, it will be troublesome, and now in this situation, Jiao Ting's strength to eat milk is used, and his clothes are sweaty.

Li Kui and Bao Xu ended the battle, seeing that Jiao Ting was still struggling to fight, he had already killed the red eye, and he didn't care if he was fighting alone, and said, "Let's go together." After that, Li Kui waved a pair of plate axes, and Bao Xu's big sword flew up and down to kill. In ancient times, there were three British battles against Lu Bu, and now there are three British battles against Sun An. Sun An is indeed powerful, this is true, it is more than enough to deal with a Jiao Ting, but with the red-eyed Li Kui and Bao Xu, don't think about it.

The big plate axe slashed his head, Sun An shrank his neck, and parried with the iron sword. With a call over there, Bao Xu's big sword arrived. After only three or four rounds of fighting, Sun An took advantage of a loophole and jumped out of the circle, stepped on the tree next to the courtyard wall, swished on the wall, and then jumped away from the wall. Bao Xu took a look at the wall, but he didn't find where Sun An had run.

Jiao Ting said: "Poor Kou Mo chase, this is Sun An's place, he is naturally familiar with the terrain, look to see if Tian Biao is there, don't retreat immediately." ”

The three of them led the soldiers to search in the inn, and found that there was no one else except for some miscellaneous guys and so on, Li Kui took an axe to ask only that Tian Biao's gang had already fled, and he didn't dare to be here for several days, Sun An gathered fifty elites, ready to come to annihilate the people who came to look for Tian Biao, but he didn't expect that these people prepared by Sun An still haven't beaten anyone. Of course, the manpower brought by Li Kui and Bao Xu was also severely damaged, with ten killed and twenty wounded, and only ten were not injured. These casualties were mainly inflicted by twenty pikemen.

Li Kui said: "No, retreat immediately." "I don't care about the guys who do chores.

Bao Xu still wanted to set fire, Jiao Ting said: "Now that the weather is dry and dry, once you set fire, I am afraid that it will burn other people's houses, so let's go." ”

Everyone picked up the bodies of their comrades who had died in battle, pulled them in a carriage, and returned overnight.

When he went back to the Mashi Inn, Ma Ling was startled: "What's the situation, you are all covered in blood, it's good to make it in the middle of the night, otherwise the government would have found out a long time ago." ”

Li Kui said: "It's okay if you find out, you must know that we are also officers and soldiers." You asked the guy to help Zhang Luo, transport the body to the suburbs for cremation, and bring it back to Yuncheng County. ”

Ma Ling hurriedly arranged and worked until dawn, cremating the bodies of the soldiers killed in the battle, and bandaging the wounds of the wounded soldiers. Li Kui and Bao Xu were heartless, and they slept very steadily. Jiao Ting was not in such a good mood, and discussed with Ma Ling immediately Feige sent a message to Chao Gai to inform Chao Gai of the matter here, this time the loss was very large, and he had to report to Yuncheng.

Ma Ling said: "Otherwise, I won't recruit people today, Sun An has suffered such a big loss and killed dozens of people, I'm afraid I will have to retaliate." ”

Jiao Ting said: "It's okay during the day, but they don't have such courage in broad daylight." How should you recruit people, how to recruit people, just send a few henchmen to inquire about the situation, to find Tian Biao's foothold, since you have already made a move, you will be killed if you don't die by fighting snakes. ”

"Okay. I'll send someone to find out what's going on. ”

Although he was still recruiting people as usual, Ma Ling was careful and arranged for the big guy to go out late and return early. Ma Ling personally dispatched to lead the capable personnel to investigate Tian Biao's situation.

But there was no situation for two days, just when Jiao Ting, Ma Ling and others were anxiously waiting, Chao Gai and others in Yuncheng's hometown received the flying pigeon message early in the morning, Chao Gai was also taken aback when he saw it, he didn't expect Tian Hu's power to develop so fast, and he didn't dare to slack off immediately, and immediately convened Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, and Zhu Wu to discuss things.

Chao Gai showed the letter to everyone, and Wu Yong said: "Jiao Ting has a simple and honest personality, since Tian Biao intercepted and killed him halfway, it was obviously not out of righteous indignation, but he really regarded Zhending Mansion as his own territory, as the so-called one mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers." Since Tian Biao made the first move, there is no need for us to be polite. ”

Gongsun Sheng didn't squeak for a long time, and sighed: "Li Kui and Bao Xu's troops are all elite soldiers, and ten of the forty people were killed in battle, which shows that Sun An and his subordinates have extremely strong combat effectiveness, if Sun An has more people in Zhending, our people will suffer a big loss in Zhending Mansion." There is Lingshou in the north of Zhending Mansion, and there is Jingcheng in the west, both of which are places where soldiers must fight, especially Jingcheng, surrounded by ten thousand mountains, can hide 100,000 soldiers. It's just that we are currently too few people, and we only occupy the land of Yuncheng Projectile, and the current priority is to expand our power in Shandong, rather than reaching out to Zhending Mansion. ”

Zhu Wu shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate to give up, you must know that Zhending Mansion has nine counties under its jurisdiction, a large population, and the people in the border pass are fierce, it is a good place to recruit people, and the newly discovered Black Dragon Island needs a large number of people, so you can't give up lightly." ”

Chao Gai didn't expect that the opinions of the three military advisors were not unanimous, so he immediately sorted out the situation of Tian Hu in Zhending Mansion collected by the Intelligence Department, and concluded that Tian Biao's arrival in Zhending was only a matter of the last three or two months, and Tian Biao acted arrogantly and arrogantly in Zhending Mansion, and his personality was flamboyant. Obviously, Tian Biao's power in Zhending Mansion is not strong.

Chao Gai said: "Gongsun Junshi's criticism is very right, at present, our forces in Shandong are still very weak, so naturally it is impossible to fight too hard with Jiangnan in Zhending, otherwise it will be extremely unfavorable to our development." However, recruitment is still necessary, whether it is Jiangnan or Zhending, people must be recruited. If you don't recruit talents, won't you cheapen others for nothing. In Zhending, we can not develop other industries, but we must ensure that we can recruit people. ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "In this case, then we have to come up with a shortcut, it is better to let the people recruited from Hebei who are willing to go to overseas Tuntian not go to Yuncheng, go directly to Cangzhou Huanghua Salt Farm, and then work temporarily in the salt field, waiting for the arrival of sea ships, and every batch of 3,000 people will be transported by sea boats." ”

Zhu Wudao: "This is a good way to avoid everyone's suffering." It's just that Tian Hu is a big man in Hebei after all, and it is not easy to recruit people in Zhending, and I am afraid that there is no way to fight Tian Hu with Ma Ling's ability. ”

"Well, it looks like I'm going to Zhending Mansion." Chao Gai said.

Gongsun Sheng said: "How is my brother going to go?" ”

Chao Gai said: "I plan to take Pang Wanchun with me, plus a hundred light cavalry of the pro-guard guard. ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "Okay, then take me with you, I'm quite familiar with the Zhending area." ”

Immediately, Chao Gai sent out carrier pigeons first, so that Ma Ling, Jiao Ting, Li Kui, Bao Xu and others stabilized in Zhending first, and Chao Gai arrived later.

Chao Gai didn't bring many people and horses, only let Luo Yun bring his own soldiers and light horses, and Gongsun Sheng and Pang Wanchun assisted. The group is a fast horse, and they run relatively fast. In seven or eight days, they arrived at the Mashi Inn in Zhending Mansion, Ma Ling and Jiao Ting were very happy to see Chao Gai coming, and said, "Brother, Gongsun Junshi, Wanchun you are all here." ”

Chao Gai said: "Here, how, you don't seem to have high morale, what's the situation." There are also Li Kui and Bao Xu. ”

"I'm here." Hei Li Kui shouted.

"Let's stay first." Gongsun Shengdao.

It is obviously not convenient for more than 100 cavalrymen to live in the inn, and immediately Gongsun Sheng found a deserted courtyard of a large family not far from the inn, which covers an area of ten acres and dozens of rooms, and it is not a problem to rebuild it for 300 people. The original owner of this courtyard was attacked by bandits and returned to the city to live, the yard was so deserted, Gongsun Sheng bought it at a very low price, Chao Gai was also very satisfied, and immediately decided to live here, and used this large courtyard as a liaison office for the Yuncheng regiment to practice and live in Zhending.

The house was done, Jiao Ting, Li Kui, Bao Xu, and Ma Ling also came over, and Jiao Ting was still Chao Gai's personal companion. Li Kui and Bao Xu led the people to listen.

Chao Gai asked, "Do you tell me why your fighting spirit is not high and what problems you encounter?" ”

Li Kui said: "Hold back, Ma Ling has already found Tian Biao's hiding place, your flying pigeon legend will not let us kill, of course I am aggrieved." ”

"Oh, hehe, that's true. Then let me ask you, what is the benefit of killing Tian Biao? Chao Gai said.

Li Kui said: "I also know that killing Tian Biao will be in big trouble, isn't this psychologically uncomfortable, ten of the soldiers I brought were killed, and I am psychologically uncomfortable." ”

Chao Gai said: "This incident also reminded us that there are mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, everything can not be careless, the world can produce many people, and our army cannot cover the world." The fallen soldiers will be buried well when they go back, so it's better to cheer up and figure out how to solve the real situation. ”
