When the rebels in Shanzhou City retreated to the Lingnan Prefecture area, Lingnan Prefecture closed the city gate and implemented martial law throughout the city. They were allowed to leave and did not enter. The rebels' detailed works were searched on a large scale in the city.

Here in Wanling County, a large number of soldiers also rushed to the main transportation roads of Lingnan Prefecture in Wanling County, strengthened defense on both sides of the road. At the same time, the county government also strengthened the defense measures of the county town accordingly. Moreover, the people of the county mobilized. Not only young and strong people joined the team for transporting materials, but even the elderly and children of Wanling County consciously organized to help the county government runners maintain the public order of the county town.

In order to prevent a small number of refugees from launching unrest when the rebels were about to invade Wanling County, the county government sent troops to escort all strong refugees to the southern part of Wanling County and take care of them, which is also to prevent the lurking rebels from connecting with foreign rebels.

The Wanling County Government can only arrange refugees in this way. Otherwise, if these nearly 200,000 refugees are in turmoil in the county, it will be the biggest disaster facing Wanling County.

After everything was ready, Li Changxian sent people to smuggle out more than a dozen cannons, all arranged at the main traffic intersection at the junction of Wanling County and Lingnan Prefecture. Regarding this huge weapon, Li Changxian has never disclosed to the outside world. In addition to a few people and some craftsmen in the county government, he also tried artillery several times in front of many tribal leaders in Wanling County.

The moment the cannon was fired, the huge cannon roar made the tribe leaders around him buzz and blood flowed to his limbs and bones.

The thick smoke dissipated, and a high wall standing in the distance was knocked down half of it, which made the tribe leaders stunned. Then someone fell to the ground and murmured on the ground, as if praying to the great god Suzaku.

But this was just a test of the stone egg. The subsequent live-fire launch made the tribe leaders unforgettable. The shells fell into the flock of sheep in the distance, and the flock of exploded ran around.

When everyone approached and looked, a deep pit was left on the spot, surrounded by blood and scattered sheep corpses.

During the transportation of these cannons and shells, the tribe leaders were also cautious, fearing that the explosion would happen.

This batch of cannons was made by the Shenwei cannon with iron core and copper bodies by master smelting master Li Qing and many craftsmen after many experiments. Compared with the previous copper cannons, this new type of cannon not only has thinner pipe walls, lighter weight, less cost, but also more durable.

Coupled with the specially made sports cars, it makes it easy to place cannons in important strongholds and can radiate to areas where rebels may attack.

Everything is ready, and only the rebels are required to invade.

When Lingnan Prefecture City sent people to Wanling County Government for help, Li Changxian learned that a small number of rebels began to harass the villages around Lingnan Prefecture, and a large number of refugees began to flee around. Many local residents fled to the mountains, and some began to flee to Wanling County.

Li Changxian and Abuda and other generals discussed for a long time, and finally decided to let Abuda lead troops to encircle and suppress the rebel vanguard army, so that the refugees fled to Wanling County could be protected from the attacks of the rebels.

The officers and soldiers of Wanling County were all from infantry and had not formed cavalry from the very beginning to compete with the cavalry vanguard of the rebels.

However, Abuda suggested setting up an ambush halfway, shooting the rebels' vanguard army with powerful crossbows and sharp arrows, and using other strategies when the rebels approached the officers and soldiers.

But everyone understood that under the attack of the powerful crossbow arrows of Wanling County, whether there are any officers and soldiers in Wanling County can be approached by the rebels' luck.

After the negotiations were completed, Li Changxian insisted on sending more than 3,000 officers and soldiers to the point of being on the safe side, most of whom were strong, capable of running and fighting.

In addition to having a sharp arrow and a sharp crossbow, Li Changxian also equipped each person with one or two bombs to give them a surprise when the rebels approached.

This team of more than 3,000 people also set out secretly in the middle of the night. It did not alarm any of the logistics men who came to support Wanling County, nor did it tell other teams where they went.

It was the first time that Abuda led so many troops to raid the rebels. He was just a scout when he was in the Western Regions. However, this time he sent troops, he was cautious and sent several scout teams to patrol back and forth in front of the army.

When it was dawn, Abuda and others had already arrived at the scheduled location. This place was very close to Lingnan Prefecture City. You can see many refugees fleeing on this road, and you can also see the rebel scouts and cavalrymen also exploring this road.

Fortunately, Abuda and others were ambushed on the back of Gaogang on one side of the road early and were not discovered by the rebel scouts.

After seeing the scouts who were exploring their searches leave, Abuda knew that these scouts were going back to report the actual situation on the road. He believed that in a short time, the vanguard of the rebels would arrive.

Just as Abuda ordered all the officers and soldiers to start sorting out their equipment and weapons, he was surprised to find that some refugees stopped and started to cook under Gaogang where Abuda and others were ambushing him.

The noisy crowd and the strong smell of food below Gaogang made the ambushed officers and soldiers start to worry about these refugees. Some even wanted to go down and ask these refugees to escape quickly, but they were all stopped by Abuda.

It is a little bit difficult to get these refugees to leave, but it will be troublesome to disturb the vanguard army of the rebels. If the sneak attack fails, it may be possible to be attacked by the cavalry behind the scenes, and there is even a danger of defeat.

The officers and soldiers under Abuda were very anxious, and even Abuda was very anxious. However, as a general of 3,000 people, he could not act rashly, nor could he let go of any fuss in this sneak attack.

Everyone hoped that these refugees would leave after dinner, but there was no more time left for them, because many people heard the rushing sound of horse hooves and then saw the rolling smoke and dust in the distance.

"The rebels are here!"

A scream rang among the hills, and then I saw refugees fleeing everywhere.

Before these refugees could escape dozens of meters away, the rebel vanguard instantly arrived at the place where the refugees had just burned fire and cooked.

"Run to the hills!"

Experienced refugees quickly called everyone to hide in the mountains, but before the refugees could react, many refugees died under the iron hoof of the rebels.

When the scream before death woke all the refugees, they woke up like a dream, fleeing to the dangerous Gaogang one by one in order to avoid the massacre of the rebel vanguard.

Seeing that most of the rebel vanguards had entered the ambush circle, Abuda quickly ordered them and began the first wave of attack when he heard his orders sounded.

The fleeing refugees suddenly found someone in Gaogang in front of him showing their heads. While he was hesitating, they heard someone in Gaogang shouting, asking them not to stop and escape from the war location as soon as possible.

Abuda's whistle sounded, and Gao Gang saw tens of thousands of arrows firing at once, and the rebels in front were shot down from the horse's back.

"Someone attacks, retreat quickly!"
