Although Yuan Tao knew that this was a plan to exhaust the soldiers, he did not dare to be careless one by one, and everyone hurriedly got up to reorganize the soldiers and horses to stop the commotion.

At the end of the night, more than 20 people were killed by their companions, and only seven or eight were wounded by the officers and soldiers.

By now, everyone knows that they have fallen into the plan of the volunteers to fatigue the soldiers, but they don't dare to be careless when they know that it is a plan, and the plan of the tired soldiers is to fatigue the opponent first, and then inadvertently kill them, defeat the opponent, and win the victory.

Now the situation is to get out of this place as soon as possible and transport grain to Bazhou, so that there is no need to be so worried about it at that time.

Everyone yawned one by one, yesterday they rushed for a day, and at night they encountered an attack on the camp, which made many people cry bitterly and couldn't stand it.

Yuan Tao had more thoughts, did this detailed work provide false information, or was it discovered?

Everyone hurried on the road, stopping and stopping, and morale was low up and down.

Others are like this, Yuan Tao and others can't be idle, from time to time send troops and horses to intercept in the rear, now the officers and troops are gathering more and more, the scale has approached more than 2,000 people, but there is no time to launch an attack at all.

Bypassing this Qilixia Mountain, you will be able to return to Bazhou immediately, although the volunteers are strong, but if you want to attack Bazhou to regain food, it is really difficult.

Seeing that the sun was in the west, Yuan Tao breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt quite nervous, could it be that the other party was just escorting all the way, indifferent to the three thousand loads of grain he looted?

Yuan Tao urged everyone to hurry up, especially the group of people who had just been taken captive, crying and crying one by one, not only carrying food, pushing the wheelbarrow as slow as a snail, but also desperately trying to escape back when they encountered something.

In this way, he walked more than two miles of mountain roads, and suddenly the rear reprimanded the report, saying that the volunteers were pressed on the whole line and killed from behind.

Yuan Tao shook his head, the left side is a cliff, although it is quite difficult, but the right side and the front and back are extremely open, that Liao Qifang is not incompetent, how could he choose this kind of scattered place as the decisive battle place (Sun Tzu's Art of War is on the spot, scattered land is surrounded by plains on all sides, and the troops are easy to disperse)

When I was pondering, someone suddenly shouted that there was someone on the mountain, and everyone didn't have time to react, and suddenly saw burning haystacks rolling down from the Qilixia Mountain on the left.

The haystack is very long, very tall, more than two zhang long, and the diameter is also in the logistics scale, and it is surrounded by sun-dried straw, dead wood or something, rolling down by the mountain, not only the momentum is amazing, but also the sparks are splashed, and those who are run to are either crushed to death by the haystacks, or burned by the sparks.

How have you ever seen this kind of momentum, even an old thief like Yuan Tao, who is accustomed to life and death scenes, is also frightened, seeing the burning haystacks rolling down one by one, hurriedly tightening the reins of the horse to dodge, not to mention those homeless and captive people.

But this haystack is obviously a dismount, after forty or fifty haystacks burning with a raging fire roll down, the burning grass and trees cut the crowd into four or five sections, and everyone ignores it, and it is difficult to cooperate effectively.

After the haystacks, there were then burning fireballs and rolling logs, although the momentum was much weaker, but there were many more of them, and the people who had already been frightened ran in fright, and everyone was in a mess.

Yuan Tao was shocked, but in this troubled world, food is the root of life, everyone sacrificed their lives to take it, and it was impossible to give up so easily.

Yuan Tao shouted loudly, originally wanted to make Wang Gao lead his troops to suppress the chaotic people, and let the king of Zhengshi, Huang Harrier, lead his troops to attack Qilixia Mountain, but everyone was blocked by the burning more than 40 haystacks, and they were in a mess, and they couldn't effectively stop it.

There was no way, Yuan Tao had to order his general Yuan An to lead 500 soldiers and horses to attack the Dazu militia that was desperately throwing fireballs down the mountain, throwing stones and rolling logs.

Huang Harrier and Wang Gao saw that Yuan Tao had fought hard to protect these grains and grasses, and they also reacted from the panic, and led their troops to suppress the panicked homeless people and the people who were coerced, and led their troops to attack the Dazu militia that was desperately throwing fireballs at the foot of the mountain.

Since Qilixia Mountain is very unsuitable for ambush, after leaving a brigade to harass Yuan Tao's headquarters last night, Ma Mingluan led the Dazu militia to march overnight and arrived at Qilixia Mountain this morning.

How to rescue the people who have been held hostage and regain the looted food and grass?

Ma Mingluan thought of the haystacks used in the defense of Yunshan Ancient City last year.

Ma Mingluan divided the Dazu militia into four parts, everyone prepared separately, and after seeing most of the local rioters coming to the foot of the mountain, everyone suddenly exerted their strength, and suddenly threw these burning haystacks and fireballs down the cliff at the cliff.

Although Qilixia Mountain is several miles long, in order to cut off the other party, there are only four or five straw stacks, and the others are scattered to throw fireballs, stones, and rolling logs.

Obviously, it achieved an unexpected effect, and suddenly was attacked by a sneak attack, and the local thugs were in a mess, just when everyone thought that Yuan Tao would lead the territorial thugs to flee, they suddenly saw more than 100 people rushing up from the foot of the mountain.

It seems that it is really necessary to have food and not to die, in this troubled world, no one has eaten, and this food is more precious than life.

The enemy was outnumbered, Ma Mingluan, Liu Dacheng and others shouted loudly one by one to gather people and horses, and one by one they shouted at the local thugs, claiming that if they surrendered to the officers and soldiers, they would have food and drink.

This tells everyone that although Lao Tzu robbed you of your grain and grass, if you are willing to submit, it is not impossible to live.

But Yuan An and others hated the volunteers to the core, everyone roared in the mountains and forests, occupied the state and county, how happy they were, the volunteers were born, and they killed everyone many times to lose their armor, and now they have no food one by one.

The two sides fought together, although the number of people was equal, and the local tyrants had been in battle for a long time, and it was completely a desperate way of fighting, but the Dazu militia was condescending, and everyone was mostly one out of ten croppers, each family had more than ten or twenty households, and one of them was selected to become a strong people, and one by one was not a weak and cowardly person.

As soon as the battle just started, Yuan An's confidence increased greatly, this volunteer army is strange, not only the equipment is worse than in the past, but also the combat power is worse, seeing the local thugs killing, some are even more panicked, if the two sides fight fairly, there is definitely a chance to win.

But the time is not on the side of the local tyrants, this side has just fought each other, seeing the flames everywhere, Fan Mingshan knew that the local tyrants were in the plan, and led the 1st battalion and more than 1,000 people from the Daxian militia to kill.

Although Yuan Tao, Huang Harrier, Wang Gao and others tried their best to resist and desperately protect the grain and grass, there were burning haystacks and fireballs everywhere, and the frightened homeless people and the people who came here were panicked one by one. Not only did everyone have to worry about whether the rocks and fireballs would roll down the mountain, but they were also blocked by these more than 40 haystacks.

Everyone didn't have a good rest last night, and they were exhausted one by one, and they couldn't raise their morale at all, and the soldiers saw that the local rioters were openly plundering the people, and they were filled with righteous indignation.

Black Sky Tiger King Gao resisted desperately, but seeing that the people around him kept falling, his soldiers fled one after another, and he had no choice but to lead his troops to flee.

Wang Gao is like this, Yuan Tao and Huang Harrier are no better, especially Huang Harrier, who fought back and forth with a big knife in his own arms, and was finally shot to death.

Although Yuan Tao, the king of heaven, was cruel and cruel, but when he saw Wang Gao fleeing and Huang Harrier being killed, he knew that he had no power to return to heaven, so he had to pack up the remnants of the defeated army and flee back to Bazhou.

Since then, after half a day of fierce fighting, with the strong cooperation of the Dazu militia and the Daxian militia, the volunteers finally defeated the local tyrants by 5,000 grain and horses, killed more than 100 local tyrants, captured more than 300 people, rescued more than 2,000 people who were coerced away, and rescued 5 or 600 displaced people.

In addition, at that time, it was even more far-reaching to recapture the 3,000 loads of life-saving grain and grass.

Counting the wounded, the first battalion killed five people and wounded only a dozen people, but the Dazu militia and the Daxian militia were killed as many as more than 30 people, and more than 100 people were injured.

Those militia strongmen originally thought that going into battle was a life-and-death duel, but when they looked at it today, it was so easy and the casualties were so least.

Although they felt sad for the villagers who were killed and wounded in the war, everyone anesthetized themselves through carnival, but after this battle, at least they were still alive, and some of them made meritorious contributions, and I heard that the reward was also quite rich.

But Liao Qifang and Ma Mingluan didn't dare to be sloppy, the general has always asked everyone to keep up with the Qi family's army, such a good situation and so many casualties, everyone doesn't know how to make this post-war summary.

But soon, everyone learned of a rumor, in order to boost morale, Yuan Tao, the king of heaven, had made it clear to his subordinates, saying that Yao Huang had formed an alliance with Daxi, and this time Yao Huang's main purpose was to harass the volunteers and disperse their troops, and then the main force of the Great Western Army in Tongchuan Prefecture suddenly attacked, defeated the main force of the volunteers, and occupied Shunqing Mansion.

Liao Qifang and Ma Mingluan did not dare to be careless, and sent 600 miles of fast horses to report the results of the war and report the conspiracy of the rogues.
