The sudden appearance of the Zhongzhou soldiers stunned the counterattacking bandits, and without waiting for them to react, the closed city gate opened, and a large number of people charged fearlessly under the leadership of the soldiers of the Beishan Battalion.

The appearance of people on both sides basically surrounded the bandits, and the bandits who gathered at this time collapsed and fled in all directions.

No matter how strongly the bandit leaders are suppressing it, it is obvious that the general trend is now, and the people's hearts are shattered.

The bandits who had gathered scattered and fled, and the tense situation just now suddenly collapsed.

Su Qi'an and the others stood on the city tower, looking at this scene, their faces were calm, they knew that the crisis in Changping County had been lifted.

The bandits scattered and fled, and were constantly strangled by the people led by the Zhongzhou soldiers and the Beishan battalion, and the robbers who were killed were unable to form an army and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

As the bandits gradually moved away, all the women and children in the city shouted loudly, their faces full of excitement.

It was the first time they had defeated the bandits head-on, and this defeat, although not a large-scale battle, at least gave the people a strong confidence.

The so-called bandits are not as terrible as imagined, and they are not invincible, as long as they unite as one, it is not impossible to defeat the bandits.

All the people were cheering and shouting, and the Beishan battalion, young men and others who went to pursue returned as soon as possible after chasing for several miles.

The matter of exterminating the bandits should still be handed over to the regular army, and as for them, they should return to Changping County as soon as possible to prevent the emptiness of people in the city and any accidents.

These are all Su Qi'an explained to Su Ji and Li Chongxiang in advance, and the two naturally understood the stakes, and after a while, the soldiers of the Beishan Battalion and the people, under their gaze, returned in time.

The two of them retracted their eyes and said to Su Qi'an, "Qi'an, do you want to take the opportunity to let all the Zhongzhou soldiers recover Yong'an County?" Are we gathering follow-up forces to fight back in an all-out way? ”

Hearing this, Su Qi'an pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't rush in for the time being, let the Zhongzhou soldiers return to Changping County in time to defend after exterminating this group of bandits, and there is no hurry to counterattack comprehensively." ”

"Wait for the formation to be stabilized, wait for Feng Dian to be caught, and then tell Zhongzhou, I think the effect caused by this will have a greater repercussion."

When the two heard this, they nodded slightly, and naturally understood what Su Qi'an meant, this battle of Changping was also quite dangerous, if it wasn't for the Zhongzhou soldiers who appeared in advance, I don't know who won and who lost this battle.

Don't look at the appearance of the Zhongzhou soldiers, they have the strength to fight, but the bandits also have their own large troops, and if they drive straight in, they are likely to fall into a stalemate.

If the battle line is stretched too long, there will definitely be a big crisis, the best good policy, stick to Changping County, with Changping as a stronghold, if Feng Dian is caught, in the world, it will definitely cause a shock among the bandits.

In addition, the Zhongzhou soldiers are sticking to the front line, even if a large army of bandits gathers and wants to launch a counterattack, they have to weigh one or two.

The announcement of the First Battle of Changping will also cause shocks among the people in the counties and counties of Zhongzhou, and the battle in Changping is like a flame that has been ignited, and once ignited, it will definitely trigger a spark.

A spark can start a prairie fire, and now Su Ji and Li Chongxiang agree more and more with what Su Qi'an said.

With the passage of time, about half a day's effort, the Zhongzhou soldiers who went to exterminate the bandits also returned one after another.

This time, the suppression of bandits was basically a complete victory, and the Zhongzhou soldiers took action to encircle and suppress these distracted bandits, which was completely more than enough, except for a small number of about a few hundred people who were received by a large army of bandits, and the rest of the bandits were all annihilated.

The large army of bandits who rushed to support, after simply fighting with the Zhongzhou soldiers, knew that they could not take the other party in a short time, so they could only temporarily retreat, retreat to a county in the rear, and confront the Zhongzhou soldiers who occupied Changping County.

Judging from the current situation, neither side has the intention of taking the lead in the battle, and is silently waiting, accumulating strength, and seeing the situation to launch a final counterattack.

At this time, young adults such as Beishan Battalion and Wang Jiu, who retreated to the city, were also arranged in various places in the county, while the Zhongzhou soldiers defended on the outskirts of the county, which was considered to have stabilized the county seat of Changping.

The bandits outside the city were exterminated, and the bandits who resisted in the corner of the city did not respond, and basically all of them were taken down.

It's just that there is bad news right now, and he was about to arrest Feng Dian in the city, but he ran away.

To be more precise, Feng Dian did not appear in Changping County at all, and those who came to Changping County were actually Feng Dian's stand-in, as for Feng Dian's spokesperson Chu Qing, when he fought fiercely in the city, he got rid of the search and arrest of the soldiers, and he had already escaped.

In other words, this time, they still underestimated Feng Dian, but they didn't expect to be seen through, and a tanuki was replaced by a prince.

When the news came, Su Ji and Li Chongxiang's faces were solemn, and they couldn't figure out what Feng Dian wanted to do next.

From beginning to end, Feng Dian did not appear in Changping, and he didn't have to think about it, he must be in his own territory.

In this case, most of them summoned their bandits at the first time, and they were afraid that they would have to fight back in an all-round way, don't look at letting go of a Feng Dian, but he is of great significance to the bandit group.

At least the backbone of the bandits has not been wiped out, and they have not appeared in Changping, and they have not appeared now, for such a long time, who knows if he has already gathered men and horses and is ready for a big battle at any time.

If this is the case, the layout of the battle of Changping, I am afraid that it will fall short, Su Ji and Li Chongxiang's faces are tense, and without waiting for the two to speak, Su Qi'an said.

"Feng Dian, we still underestimate it, but what we can do now is to wait and see what happens, the more at this time, the more calm we must be, if we are all messed up, the other party will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

Su Qi'an simply comforted the two, and then continued, "The order is to issue an announcement to kill Xu Shan and a group of bandits, and at the same time let the Zhongzhou soldiers who stayed in the rear immediately assemble the militia organized by the two counties and be ready to fight at any time." ”

"At all important intersections and checkpoints, the nerves must be tight, and if there is the slightest mistake, military law will be engaged."

Su Qi'an's order, the two of them quickly arranged, they knew that since they could not take down Xu Shan and Feng Dian in one fell swoop, they could not maximize the effect.

But we can't sit still, at this time, it was announced that Changping County was recovered and Xu Shan was killed, which could still have some effect on the people of the counties and counties in Zhongzhou.

Even if Feng Dian gathered tens of thousands of bandits and wanted to launch an offensive, he would have to weigh one or two, at least to ensure that the people in the occupied area did not make trouble.

Just when Su Ji and Li Chongxiang gave orders and prepared to actively prepare for war, there was new news from the front line.

The large army of bandits who confronted the Zhongzhou soldiers actually began to retreat, this scene made the Zhongzhou soldiers a little stunned, and thought that the other party was setting some trap.

After sending people to investigate, they did retreat, and the speed of retreat was quite fast, and there was no intention of setting traps.

After understanding, later, they learned an unbelievable news, which turned out to be Feng Dian's action.

Feng Dian was indeed a bandit from the two counties who had gathered his own territory, but he did not mean to support, but instead sent troops to attack the territory occupied by Xu Shan.

When the news reached Yong'an County, Feng Dian's men had already taken one of the counties and were making every effort to prepare to take Yong'an County.

This made the large army of bandits facing the front line hurry back to defense, Feng Dian's back steals, not to mention that the Zhongzhou soldiers were stunned, even Xu Shan's subordinates were stunned for a long time.

Although Xu Shan is dead, it does not mean that they are willing to be taken by Feng Dian, after all, the two sides represent two camps, even if there is still the danger of Zhongzhou soldiers on the front line.

But Feng Dian has sent people to fight on his own territory, how can there be any reason not to resist, the big deal will be broken.

When the news reached Changping County, Su Qi'an and the three of them were also stunned for a moment, but after coming back to their senses, Su Ji and Li Chongxiang were quite happy.

Who would have thought that the two sides would actually fight among themselves at this time, but this time they could watch from the wall, as spectators, and watch the two sides fight.

Compared with the idea of the two of them sitting idly by, Su Qi'an saw it more far-reaching, and immediately ordered the Zhongzhou soldiers to attack immediately, advancing on all fronts, and the militia of Qinghe and Beishan counties quickly set off and rushed to Changping.

It is necessary to take Changping as the core, advance the front, and establish a complete line of defense.

The reason why he didn't watch from the wall was also to prevent Feng Dian's strength from increasing.

Although Feng Dian was not arrested, but Xu Shan died, his territory, if he did not act, it is likely to fall into the hands of Feng Dian, once Feng Dian occupies the four counties of Zhongzhou, in his personal leadership, the bandits in Zhongzhou will definitely not be as divided as before, obeying the orders of the two commanders.

Holding the strength in the hands of one person, with the territory and population of the four counties, with a little training, he has already gained the upper hand from the bright side, if he does not send troops at this time, once Feng Dian takes the four counties, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Now Su Qi'an understands that the reason why Feng Dian chose a stand-in is that he wants to kill Xu Shan by the hands of Su Ji and Li Chongxiang, and he can take the opportunity to grab the territory.

This kind of stabbing in the back is very much in line with Feng Dian's temperament.

For the sake of territory, you can do whatever it takes, this Feng Dian, in a way, is a good opponent.

Su Qi'an really underestimated him, he was so ruthless, if such a person was allowed to develop, Zhongzhou would never have peace.

Since Feng Dian was desperate to grab territory, Su Qi'an would not get used to it, and also issued an order to advance on all fronts.

The next battle is a battle for turf.

Su Qi'an's vision was far-reaching, and Su Ji and Li Chongxiang also immediately comprehended it, and they also realized Feng Dian's sinister intentions.

The two of them hugged their fists at Su Qi'an, turned around and left, if it is said that the bandits are exterminated, the two of them can be the behind-the-scenes commander, but the next turf grab, the two of them must be on the front line.

On the one hand, you can clearly see the opponent's troop arrangement, better adjust the deployment of troops, and more importantly, with the two of them, even if they are just standing on the front line, it is enough to stimulate the potential of their soldiers.

In Daliang, being able to stand with the soldiers and face life and death together, this is already more than eighty percent of the officials, and the soldiers under him will naturally fight harder.
