Yanzhou, Jibei, Feicheng.

In the lobby of the county government, Yin Li put down the information from Lu County in his hand, and a trace of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If you dare to divide the troops into three groups for five thousand men, how can you take my Xuanjia Army seriously!"

Jibei is next to Taishan County. When Yin Li was acting as a agent for Taishan affairs, he had already placed his eyeliner in Lu County.

When Bao Tao led a thousand men to Feicheng with great fanfare, the information from Lu County had been delivered to Yin Li, who was thirty miles away.

"If you want to hold me Yin Li, then I will let you steal chickens and lose some rice!"

Yin Li, who had a cold face, walked out of the county government quickly and ordered to the general waiting at the door.

"Order the entire army to wear armor immediately and follow the general north to Lu County!"

...

"Quagu...Quagu..."

Since leaving Lu County, less than ten miles away, there were crows circling and whistling above his head, which made Bao Tao feel upset.

The more you go south, the more crows gather, which makes Bao Tao feel a little uneasy.

"Are the crows extremely hungry, or are you warning?"

Bao Tao is not worried that the crow will fall down to attack the living, but only worried that the future will be full of sinister.

Although this trip was just a bluff, Bao Tao was never at ease.

"General, there is a slope in front of you. Have you ordered a rest?"

Bao Tao, who was riding a horse slowly, was looking up at the crows above his head, which was as dark as the dark clouds before the storm of summer, and his subordinates interrupted his thoughts.

"Slope?"

Bao Tao was stunned and hurriedly raised his eyes to look at the slope, feeling a palpitation for no reason.

I saw dust floating around the slope less than a mile, quietly strange.

"Quagu..."

Suddenly, another crow's roar came from the sky, causing Bao Tao to shivered suddenly. He had an illusion that the earth slope was filled with a strong ferocious aura.

"Be careful to bury..."

"Bang bang bang..."

"Swish swish swish swish..."

Before Bao Tao's warning was issued, he was drowned by a sudden rapid sound of string pulling and a sharp roar of arrows.

"Wow..."

At the moment when the arrows were falling like rain, after the earth slope, there were suddenly erected like black flags from the underworld, like spring bamboo shoots breaking through the ground, densely packed, covering the sky and the sun.

"Kill..."

The dull and cold bowstring sound had not yet fallen, and the deafening shouts of killing sounds sounded again, covering the wilderness and drowning the whistling of the cold wind.

"Boom..."

Bao Tao and a thousand infantry have not yet awakened from the sudden change. Hundreds of cavalry have crossed the earth slope and held up steel knives with cold lightning, rushing towards them with lightning speed.

"Stop!"

Bao Tao, who was pale, looked up at the crow in the sky, which seemed to be in a carnival and sighed, immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards Lu County.

Facing the fierce cavalry of the Xuanjia Army and the 2,000 infantrymen, Bao Tao even had no idea of ​​a fight in the army.

As for a thousand unprepared infantrymen, Bao Tao abandoned them without hesitation.

"Puff puff puff..."

"Uh..."

"Run..."

"I surrender..."

The soldiers of Jibei who were in a panic were already panicked, and saw the chief general Bao Tao flee alone. Under the cold butcher knife of the Xuanjia Army, the morale of the army collapsed instantly. They either fled in scattered or threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt on the ground to surrender.

"Driving!"

"Ru" ​​"

He had no interest in the one-sided massacre of Yin Li. He was only interested in the escaped Bao Tao. The moment Bao Tao urged the horse to leave the team, Yin Li firmly locked him.

"It's not that easy to escape!"

Yin Li beat the mount a few times, and as the war horse suddenly accelerated and galloped away the reins in his hand, tightly slammed the stirrups with both legs, pulled the bow with one hand, and drew the arrow with the other.

"Bang!"

When he was less than a hundred steps closer to Bao Tao, Yin Li opened his bow and shot quickly.

"Not good!"

"Puff..."

The sound of galloping horse hooves covered the sound of bowstrings. When Bao Tao, who had just escaped, realized the danger, the arrows had already entered the vest.

"Uh..."

Bao Tao let out a shrill scream and fell from the galloping war horse.

"Xilulu..."

The war horse that suddenly lost its master stopped suddenly, stood up, and cried out with a wailing cry to the sky.

Bao Tao, whose mouth and nose were gushing blood, looked at the crows circling and whispering in the sky, and his eyes gradually became dissipated.

"Lu County is over!"

————

Jibei.Snake Hill.

"Report..."

The Secretariat of the Sheqiu County Government Office, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Li Zan, the prime minister of Dongping, Liu Bin, and Chunyu Rong, the famous scholar of Sheqiu, were discussing countermeasures to attack Tao Ying, and a hurrying voice came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

Liu Bin glanced at everyone and immediately shouted outside the door.

"Bang!"

With permission, the scout outside the door lifted the curtain and quickly snatched in.

"Plop!"

The scout knelt on the ground, saluted and quickly reported the military information to everyone.

"The rebels in Mount Tai were divided into two groups, bypassing the Snake Hill and heading towards Dongpingzhang County; heading straight to Gang County!"

As soon as the scout finished speaking, a sound of cups and plates falling to the ground suddenly sounded in the conference hall.

"What?"

"Broken!"

"Not good!"

Li Zan, the Prime Minister of Dongping, stood up suddenly, turned around and walked out the door.

"If the rebels attack Dongping, once Zhang County is lost, we will have no way out!"

In fact, Li Zan was only worried that his Dongping Xiang would do the best.

Li Zan suddenly felt a little regretful after hearing Yuan's bewitching troops to attack Tao Ying, which was a little annoying.

"No, I have to go back to Dongjun!"

Li Zan is worried that Dongping's country will not be protected, and Qiao Mao is even more worried that the retreat will be cut off. At this time, he no longer wants to avenge his nephew Fan County Magistrate who was killed by Tao Ying, and he only wants to return to Dong County safely.

"How could this happen!"

Li Zan, Qiao Mao was about to leave, and the host Liu Bin was also panicked. Once Gang County was lost, the snake hill that was almost surrounded by all sides would die.

"Snake Hill is lost, Liu's family will be destroyed!"

Liu Bin knew very well that other great surnames in Schicqiu might have hope of living. As the Liu family who initiated the conspiracy against Tao, there was only one way to die.

"Li Xiang, Lord Qiaofu, please stay. If you withdraw your troops at this time, you will be taken advantage of by the rebels!"

Seeing that the Snake Qiu coalition showed signs of self-defeat, Fan Zhao, known as the "Five Dragons of Jibei", hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

"The cavalry of the rebel Tao Ying is extremely powerful. If the two retreated in a hurry, they will be broken up!"

Li Zan, who had already reached the door, suddenly stopped and looked back at Fan Zhao who was in his fifties.

"What good advice does Mr. Fan have to teach us?"

Fan Zhao stood up, and his deep eyes flashed through Li Zan, Qiao Mao, and Liu Bin's faces, stroking his beard while planning troops.
