Chapter 12 The Rout

Finally, Magistrate Tian made up his mind and waved to several of his generals.

Tian Zhixian looked at the generals under his command. Wang was the main force, so they definitely couldn't go. Chen Chao could go, but he was afraid that he would run away after crossing the river.

"Commander Pei, you have always been brave, do you dare to cross the river first to detect the enemy's situation?"

Pei Xiaoer started to complain, why is it always me? How did you know that I am always brave?

However, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Disobeying orders in the military is a serious crime that can lead to beheading.

"The last general takes orders." Pei Xiaoer cupped his fists and took orders.

Soon Pei Xiaoer's troops appeared on the other side.

After landing on the beach, Pei Xiaoer immediately ordered a defensive formation, waiting for the rogue bandit's thunderous strike.

After a long time, the imagined attack did not come.

Could it be that the rogue bandits were setting up an empty city here? Just to delay their rescue of Wenxi County?

Putting this mess of thoughts to rest, Pei Xiaoer arranged for Liu Changle to take his troops to the nearby area to investigate the enemy's situation.

"Report that there is no trace of rogue bandits within ten miles of the surrounding area." Liu Changle came back to report after a long time.

Pei Xiaoer felt relieved. It seemed that these ships were a deception arranged by the bandits. The bandits should be attacking Wenxi County at this time.

He quickly sent people to convey the general's information to Tianzhi County.

After hearing the news, the magistrate of Tian County immediately ordered the entire army to cross the river.

After giving the order, he rushed across the river by boat, leaving Wangdu and Chen Chao to command the soldiers. He could not wait for a moment now. Every hour every night, Wenxi County would be in more danger.

Small boats carried the army across the river quickly. The river was very narrow and the crossing speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, half of the soldiers had crossed the river.

At this moment, a shout of murder was heard getting closer and closer.

Pei Xiaoer immediately shouted, "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, quickly form an array!"

A panic immediately formed on the river bank, with countless people running around like headless flies.

I saw a fast horse charging forward on the side of the bank where I came from. It was the rogue bandit who was ambushing on the river bank.

No one expected that they would actually attack from the rear and penetrate the rear team that was in chaos.

The chaotic rear group was cut in two like a hot knife slicing cheese, and the shouts of murder echoed across the other bank.

The rear team was finished, and Pei Xiaoer's judgment was very accurate.

Not long after, the rear troops who were divided and surrounded surrendered on a large scale. Some people even jumped into the river regardless of the fast water and disappeared without a trace.

"Lord County Lord, leave quickly. The victory or defeat has been decided. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

Pei Xiaoer supported the Tianzhi County to quickly evacuate the shore and ran towards Wenxi County.

On the shore, Sitting Tiger wiped the blood from his face, looked at the fleeing figures on the other side and said, "Have Zhang Zhiguo's people arranged the arrangements?"

"The tables are all set up, and none of them can escape."

"That's good, brothers, work harder, we can spend the night in Wenxi County tonight." The shouts of the sitting tigers echoed through the river bank, and the bandits all smiled happily.

"Wise in charge of the plate"

"Follow the plate and there will be meat to eat."

....

Pei Xiaoer never thought that one day he would be so embarrassed.

The army was over, and Wang Du and Chen Chao were nowhere to be found. He led the magistrate of Tian County and ran all the way. When they were exhausted, they fell into an ambush.

Tian Zhixian, who was lagging behind, saw ambushes surrounding him, so he turned around and ran back, leaving Pei Xiaoer in front.

Facing the gangsters who were waiting for work, Pei Xiaoer cursed secretly. "Array, form."

However, Pei Xiaoer had only been in the army for a few days, and they were unable to perform such advanced movements. Only veterans who had been trained for a long time and experienced the battlefield could fight in formation in such a situation of being ambushed.

After shouting a few times, and seeing that everyone was indifferent and just scurrying around, Pei Xiaoer stopped delaying and called for Pei Lao Pei and Pei Xiaosan to break out.

However, the encirclement has already begun, and it is not that easy to break through.

Soon there were fewer and fewer soldiers still resisting.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out of the encirclement, Pei Xiaoer's steel teeth were almost shattered, so the only way to survive now was to risk his life.

"Surrender, we surrender"

Amidst the sounds of surrender, the encirclement and annihilation battle finally came to an end. The rogue bandits achieved a complete victory.

Not long after, Si Dihu also led his troops to come for reinforcements. However, when he arrived, the war was basically over.

"Master Pan, fortunately he has lived up to his command. All the officers and soldiers who fled here have been wiped out by our army, but it is a pity that the county magistrate escaped." Zhang Zhiguo reported cautiously after following Si Dihu.

Let the opponent's official run away, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you are fully successful.

"Well, just run away. He can't do anything alone. You have made great contributions in this battle. Write it down first. When we conquer Wenxi County, we will reward you together." Sitting Tiger looks very generous.

, waving his hands.

"Thank you for holding the plate." Zhang Zhiguo burst into laughter.

"Who is the most powerful among you? Stand up and let me take a look."

The prisoners all turned to look at Pei Xiaoer.

Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore, Pei Xiaoer had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk towards Sitting Tiger.

"Have you seen the palm plate?" Pei Xiaoer bowed with his hands in hand.

A good man does not suffer immediate losses, and he has not yet had the consciousness to risk his own life for the sake of the court.

Sitting Tiger saw the young man in front of him. He looked very respectful, unlike the officers and soldiers he had encountered before, who were both afraid of death and pretended to regard death as home.

"Are you willing to surrender?"

"The villain is willing to surrender."

"Okay, cheerful, I like cheerful people the most." Sitting on the ground, he heard the words and laughed.

"When you lead your soldiers to capture Wenxi County for me tomorrow, I will make you a former battalion general. Do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare? I'm willing to take Wenxi County on behalf of the general."

"Okay" Si Dihu looked very happy and said to Zhang Zhiguo next to him, "Give him his soldiers back."

Ignoring Zhang Zhiguo's response, he laughed and turned around to leave.

In the evening, Pei Xiaoer saw all his brothers.

He briefly explained the current situation to everyone. Finally, he said, "The current situation is like this. If everyone is willing to follow me in rebellion and join the bandits, then tomorrow we will attack Wenxi County. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Father Pei sat aside, with his head lowered, looking very defeated. "You were a good officer and soldier, why did you suddenly become a thief again?" After saying this, he covered his face with his hands and started crying.

"Brother, I am willing to follow you." Pei Xiaosan will always stand by Pei Xiaoer.

"Add me," Liu Zhizu said angrily.

"Second brother, I am willing to follow you." Liu Changle also seemed very positive.

Seeing someone starting to speak, everyone spoke separately.

In the end, there were less than ten people who clearly opposed it.

Most of these people are former servants. They really can't change their ways, and they still want to sneak out and return to Peijiazhuang to live their stable life.

"Okay, since everyone believes in me so much, I will definitely lead everyone to a bright future," Pei Xiaoer clenched his fists and said like an oath.

Then he said to the people who objected, "Since you are not willing to be a thief, I won't force you."

After speaking, he took two steps back and looked at the group of people who still wanted to go back.
