Xinghua sat beside Xiao Jianxia and asked for warmth, and introduced Wang Ma to Xiao Jianxia.

Subsequently, Zheng Erhu, Zhao Dahu, Hong Xuefei and Wang Lianhua and others got on their horses one after another, and everyone protected Xiao Jianxia to retreat in the direction of Cuiping Mountain in the depths of the grassland......

We have already explained in the above book, Xiao Jianxia quietly evacuated the county town of Lucao when the 30,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court arrived, why was he captured by the government again?

It turned out that on the way for Xiao Jianxia to retreat, he walked to a place called Wollongong sandbags and low elm feathers mixed in Sanlidi, west of Lucao County, and suddenly encountered an ambush of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers.

Xiao Jianxia's more than 2,000 rebel soldiers did not expect that the official army would secretly set up an ambush here, and hurriedly responded passively. But they all fought bravely, with one as ten, the two sides fought fiercely for half an afternoon, and the rebels killed and wounded a large number of officers and soldiers, but finally because they were outnumbered, the army was defeated in Wollongong.

This ambush is the Mongolian general, a member of the imperial court, that is, Cheng Gist, who just appeared once at the scene of Xiao Jianxia's opening in the Green Grass East Temple.

This Cheng Gist is not an ordinary character, he was originally stationed in the northeast for ten years as a border general, so he is quite familiar with the terrain of the green grass desert grassland, as soon as he arrived at the green grass boundary, accompanied by Liu Ziwen, secretly investigated, and ambushed people and horses on Wollongong, Xiao Jianxia's retreat, and dug a lot of traps and laid a lot of hidden weapons. Even Shang Tianying didn't know about this. That's why the rebel army suffered heavy losses and annihilation, and almost wiped out the entire army.

In this battle, Lan Zhentian, the deputy chief of the Cuiping Mountain Peasant Rebel Army, and Zhou Dajun retreated in order to cover Xiao Jianxia and his brothers. Desperately fighting with the officers and soldiers, he fell into a trap one after another, and then was shot to death by the officers and soldiers with random guns and arrows.

Poor Lan Zhentian and Zhou Dajun. The two heroes of the generation who once shook the green grass land, have just joined the rebel army for less than a month, and have not really used their ingenuity. Subsequently, Xiao Jianxia also fell into a trap in the process of retreating and breaking through, and was captured alive by the officers and soldiers.

The entire ranks of the rebels. Of the more than 2,000 people who were taken out by Xiao Jianxia, only more than 800 escaped back to Cuiping Mountain. The brothers who fled back reported the defeat to Hong Xuefei, the general stationed in the camp.

Hong Xuefei heard it at the time. Shocked, she didn't expect that the imperial court actually came with heavy soldiers and an ambush. The eldest cousin Zhou Dajun and the leader Lan Zhentian were killed, and the chief leader Xiao Jianxia was captured, it seems that the fate of the righteous army is more auspicious!

Presently. The brothers who fled and the rebels stationed in the camp were less than 2,000 men. Hong Xuefei wanted to go to the county seat to rescue coach Xiao Jianxia. But she felt alone. So, she hurriedly sent her brothers out to find her husband, Zheng Erhu.

Zheng Erhu was with his brother Zhao Dahu when he was found by the brothers in Happy Tun. They searched for Xinghua separately, and after looking for three days, they didn't see half of her, so they both returned to Happy Tun to discuss countermeasures, and were worried about what to do next? Should they continue to look for Xinghua, or go back to the old camp? Hearing that Xiao Jianxia's defeat was also very surprised, he and Zhao Dahu temporarily gave up looking for Xinghua.

Because Mrs. Zhao is not alive. Xinghua disappeared again, and Zhao Dahu felt that it was difficult to stay at home. He only has hatred in his heart, and in order to eliminate the mountain bag, he decides to go with his younger brother Zheng Erhu!

So the two brothers returned to Cuiping Mountain together, and after repeated research, they decided with Hong Xuefei and Wang Lianhua to go to the Green Grass Dongda Temple early this morning, and when the government publicly executed Xiao Jianxia, with the secret cooperation of Shang Tianying, Xiao Jianxia was successfully rescued from the guillotine of the government.

At this time, the two tigers were riding on the white horse and were leading the brothers to retreat in the direction of Cuiping Mountain.

Thinking of this defeat, Erhu was very sad in his heart, he had studied history in Yucai Middle School, and knew that all peasant uprisings in all dynasties and dynasties had almost no success. But he never expected that he would be defeated so quickly, and it was just the beginning, because the imperial court sent 30,000 elite soldiers, who had already won the first battle, and their morale was booming. Although the rebels are all bitter and bitter, and everyone fights bravely, but after all, there are too few people, there are less than 2,000 people left, it is difficult to compete with the imperial court, and Xiao Jianxia was seriously injured, and the burden of the rebels in the future will fall on himself, a boy who is just eighteen years old, where will the rebels go, and where is the way out for the rebels?

Erhu joined the rebel army, originally wanted to use the banner of the rebel army to oppose the court and kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, to achieve his own revenge and kill Liu Ziwen, it seems that things are far more complicated than imagined, not so simple problems.

However, Erhu and Erhu never expected that this operation not only successfully rescued Xiao Jianxia, but also accidentally discovered and retrieved the apricot blossoms, which made Erhu's painful heart a little comforted and happy.

At this time, Erhu, who was in charge of the broken rear in the back, sent a fast horse to report to Erhu that the official army had returned to the county seat.

After hearing this news, Erhu made the troops slow down the speed of the march, and the tense nerves along the way relaxed a little.

Just when Erhu led the rebel army to retreat to Cuiping Mountain and ran out for nearly a hundred miles, the officers and soldiers pursued for a while under the command of Liu Ziwen and Lu Long, and when they saw that the rebel army had disappeared, they stopped the pursuit. At this time, the imperial court general Cheng Gist sent an order to stop the pursuit and return to the county seat of Lucao.

After Liu Ziwen returned to the green grass, the scheming Cheng Gist redeployed his troops and formulated a plan to encircle and suppress the righteous army and besiege it together......

Besides, after the second tiger rescued the coach Xiao Jianxia to Cuiping Mountain, he hurriedly asked the medical officer of the old camp to treat Xiao Jianxia and give him medicine, so that he could recover well. Because Xiao Jianxia was severely punished by officers and soldiers, although his life was not in danger, he could not handle military affairs for the time being, so he solemnly handed over the heavy responsibility of guarding the camp of the righteous army to Zheng Erhu, and let him be fully responsible for the safety precautions of Cuiping Mountain and the battle against the officers and soldiers.

That night, Erhu hurriedly ordered Hong Xuefei, Wang Lianhua, Zhao Dahu and other generals to lead the soldiers of the rebel army of each department to divide their troops to guard the mountain gate fortress and stand by to prevent the officers and soldiers from coming to attack at night. At the same time, he sent some secret agents to pay close attention to the movements of the officers and soldiers; fortunately, Shang Tianying had not yet been exposed, so he sent another group of secret agents to get in touch with Shang Tianying in a timely manner, so that he could obtain information about the officers and men in a timely manner, know each other and know himself, and take targeted precautions......
