Not long after, after the fourth commander Yuan Shenming appeased Zhuang Ding, he covered up from the east, and under the siege on both sides, the thieves fled from the back door of the manor one after another, and were killed by the third commander Ding Baosheng with a rain of arrows, and then launched a queue siege, most of the thieves were captured, and only Hao Tianying took twenty or thirty followers to kill out of the encirclement and fled in embarrassment.

Xue Wenqian re-deployed the defense that night, cleaned up the battlefield, counted the results of the battle, captured more than 200 thieves and thieves and closely guarded them, and seized a total of more than 300 war horses, grain, cloth, armor and weapons worth tens of thousands of yuan.

The next day, Li Duofu was arranged to retrieve the 20 truckloads of goods intercepted on the road, and led the five commanders to garrison here to take care of Zhangfu Zhuangding, and sent people back to Fushi to inform Zhang Zhixing and beware of Zhang Kuangtu's rebellion. At the same time, the 3rd, 4th, and 6th commanded 1,500 people and marched to Jinming County in the northwest. I didn't know that I had only walked three or four miles, and the scouts reported back, and they had dug into more than 1,500 horsemen, and they killed them violently.

Xue Wenqian was taken aback, hesitated for a while, and immediately led the troops back to Zhang's Manor, his three commanders had only trained the recruits for less than two months, and they didn't want to face off with a large-scale horse army in the field, so it was much safer to garrison the manor and wait for work.

Soon after entering the manor, more than 1,000 horsemen who had been dug into the manor also arrived, and saw that the outer wall of the manor was only more than one zhang high, and the horses were observed along the periphery of the manor, and ordered the thieves to go out to collect many large wooden ladders, and went around to the northwest back door of the manor to line up, and officially launched an attack at noon.

He and Hao Tianying each led 500 people, and climbed the wooden ladder from both sides of the gate at the same time, intending to lead the troops to the top of the wall.

Xue Wenqian's troops were superior, although the field cavalry was inferior to the thief army, but the experience of defending the city was extremely sophisticated, with five commanders guarding the main gate, three and four commands were waiting for the battle, and six commands were used as reserve forces, and demolished houses, carried stones and wood on the walls, everything was in an orderly manner.

The thief army began to attack very fiercely, but the defenders at the head of the wall were like dense arrows, and the rounds were constantly fired, coupled with the rolling wood and stones rolling down the wooden ladder, so that the thief army, who did not have much siege experience, fell to the ground one after another, and fell crying dad and mother.

Another round of the thief army's offensive continued, and there were many fewer rolling logs and stones, but they were specially greeted by the crowd, and there were some jumpers with long iron hooks, and the wooden ladder was put up on the wall, and it was quickly overturned.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the attack was always unfavorable, and he jumped like thunder, and found Hao Tianying to reprimand him angrily: "I usually treat you so kindly, but when I need your help, you make such a fuss for me." Forget it today, you can take it back for me tomorrow! ”

"The defenders have four commanders, and they are good at defending the city, and we have less than 1,200 men left......" Hao Tianying argued.

"Humph! More than 100 people were killed and wounded in the afternoon, and tomorrow we will only sweep the formation, it's time for you to contribute! Fei Tingchun Li was very dissatisfied, this time he came to grab money and grain to fight a good fight, but he fought a tough battle, and it was not easy to explain to Tuoba Suzhi when he went back.

"Hugh has to argue! Tomorrow it's all pressed, and if you can't capture the manor, no one will want to leave! His face was gloomy and he decided to take a gamble.

If you can't recapture the grain, grass and weapons in the manor, you have to pass through Suizhou if you want to transfer to Taiyuan, and the road will be very difficult. And time is getting tighter and tighter, if the horse army marches at full speed, it will rush back from Gyeongju tomorrow. Now, Zheducheng Tong decided to have a proper showdown with Fei Tingchunli.

"Fei listen! I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, we all went south this time, and we didn't plan to go back to Baiyu Mountain, and then cross the clear stream from Yanchuan to Suizhou, and ask you to help guide the way. ”

Fei Tingchun was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Hmph! Only now did you say, you think I can't see your mind? Do you want to go back to Yokoyama to be the head of the digging clan? I'm afraid it's not easy to ......."

"You just need to negotiate on the road and help us pass, you don't have to worry about other things!" He said with a smile.

"That's good! I will now send someone to order the Luzi Pass Department to withdraw to Ningshuo, I hope you will not regret today's decision! Fei Tingchun Li laughed, the south of Suizhou is the territory of the Xifeng Miscellaneous Branch, and there are Fei Ting, half of each half of the Li family, and there is no problem with passing.

It's a new day, and the eastern sky is revealing the morning glow. Early in the morning, he ordered his subordinates to prepare dry food, and then dismantled all the camp tents, leaving a small number of troops to guard the looted grain and grass, and the rest of the more than 1,000 thieves deployed their troops to make a little preparation, but they still carried wooden ladders to climb the wall on the left and right sides of the back door.

At the same time, two hundred people carried the big wooden hammer and slammed into the wooden door of the manor. There was a muffled "bang", and the inside of the village gate was blocked, and the dust fell down, but it didn't move. At this time, the wall was covered with rolling logs, stones, and arrows, and the thieves had no shield to defend themselves, and dozens of people were killed and wounded, and they immediately retreated.

After digging Chengtong and wielding a mace to beat the two to death, the thief army shouted again, and rushed to the village gate, ushering in a more dense rain of arrows, and several large buckets of boiling water poured down, so hot that the thief army screamed, dropped the hammer and ran, and the back could not withstand the offensive, and followed the run.

"Capture me who escaped and cut it down!" Digging Chengtong was furious, filled the previous troops, raised the ramming hammer and continued to hit the door, and at the same time, ordered Hao Tianying and Fei Tingchunli to climb the wooden ladder to the wall in person in order to open the gap.

Hao Tianying received the order, and thought very depressedly in his heart, if this really killed and injured too many Yanzhou soldiers, then he couldn't turn back if he followed the digging and became a pass, and the experience of being a thief was a stain, if he made a feud again, he would break the Yang family? Who will accept it.

Thinking of this, he had an idea in his heart, so he beckoned his retinue to carry the wooden ladder, and the golden gun in his hand was ready to attack himself. It is said that it is a golden gun, but in fact it is just an iron gun, but the head of the gun contains slightly more gold and copper, and the gun shaft is also an alloy casting containing copper.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a horse team of more than 200 horsemen suddenly came to the south of the manor, and the leader was the person who captured the village the night before, and led the troops to the rear of the headquarters, and shot arrows from afar, causing a lot of confusion to the rear baggage.

Hao Tianying took the opportunity to ask for instructions from Zhiduchengtong, and after obtaining his permission, he led two hundred horsemen to meet the battle, and the two sides galloped back and forth in the distance, chasing each other and firing arrows, and each looking for favorable terrain, and finally took the battle.

Yanzhou Zhangwu Army is still well-equipped, and only a few people in the thief army are equipped with leather armor, after several rounds of hedging, this disadvantage gradually emerged, and Hao Tianying has never made every effort, seeing that he is about to retreat, he Cheng Cheng led three hundred horsemen to rush over to help the battle, but the other party immediately retreated.

He was very unwilling and was about to attack the manor with all his might, but the Zhuang Nei horse team came out to invite him to harass him, causing him to take care of one thing and the other, and the two sides fell into a tug-of-war. Although Fei Tingchunli's party soldiers had attacked the wall, they were soon driven down by superior forces, and by the afternoon, the manor was still as stable as Mount Tai.

With a long sigh, he had to order the troops to be collected, and in the afternoon he retreated southwest to the eastern suburbs of Fenglin County, plundered the nearby villages, and set fire to them everywhere in anger, burning down a large number of villages along the way.
