Xiang Batian and Fang Jianding were killed in the capitals of the thief, so the remaining bandits naturally could not make any big fuss. With the addition of Jiang Yan, the new force, they all died one after another.

Some bandits jumped into the river or broke out of the siege. There were few people on the ranch and it was difficult to intercept them. They could only shoot some with bows and arrows.

Liu Zongdao crossed the river and chased after him for a while, but still asked them to escape most of them, and only had time to leave horses.

After the war, the battlefield was cleared, and the enemy left more than 300 corpses, and fifty or sixty were killed or seriously injured on the Pegasus Ranch, most of which were slightly injured.

The only thing worth comforting is that more than a hundred horses died and made up for them from the bandits, which is more.

Jiang Yan recognized the last palm that Fang Jianding used, which was the same as "Flying Dragon in the Sky", and naturally it was a move among the eighteen palms of the dragon subduing.

He searched and found that these bandits committed crimes everywhere and brought all the secrets with them. In addition to that move, "Kanglong has regrets", he also used another move to "Slide Frost and Ice".

Jiang Yan read it once and remembered it, and took out the piece of leather paper again. It turned out that there were any records of these two tricks on it, and he said secretly:

"What does it mean to list this martial arts? Why does it look like the mission branch in the game?"

There was too little information, so he couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he stopped tangling. After collecting some other miscellaneous items such as hammering techniques and mace mechanisms, he went to find Liu Zongdao.

At this moment, the other party was busy cleaning up the mess. Wu Zhaoru's face was covered with miserable face. His right arm was hit by the mace of the wolf's teeth and mace, and his bones were broken and his tendons were broken. I don't know if he could save it.

After Liu Zongdao finished his work, he came over and asked, "Young Master Jiang, how should you do next?"

Jiang Yan said: "Although the bandits retreated, they are crowded and powerful, and there are still people behind them. We cannot take risks easily. We should find a safe place, stabilize first, and wait for reinforcements."

Wu Zhaoru, who saw the people in the ranch suffered heavy losses, realized that he had made a big mistake and was regretting it. After hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who is playing conspiracies behind the scenes and assassinating us?"

Jiang Yan picked up the arrows and said, "This method of making arrows is better than that of the ranch. There are only two companies in the world doing weapons business, Luoyang Sha family and Dongming Sect, but they were only supplied to the court in the past.

Now the world is in chaos and has become the most important material, and it is even better than the war horses on our ranch. Ordinary little princes cannot even buy swords and guns, and bows and arrows are absolutely difficult to get involved, let alone the four infamous bandits?

And this horse, although it is not as good as the ones we brought, it is definitely not something we can get. I don’t know if it was robbed by them or given by someone.

Thinking of the other two bandits going to help Zhu Can, I'm afraid someone is in the middle of contacting him. As for who it is, it's hard to guess?

The governors of Xiangyang County, Wagang, and Jianghuai Army are all possible, and even the Hanshui Gang cannot escape the suspicion.

Moreover, the riding and shooting skills of those bandits are very similar to the tactics of the grassland. I just don’t know if it is Turks, Tiel, or something else.”

After hearing this circle of forces, Wu Zhaoru was suddenly a little depressed. The worst force among them was not something he could afford, so he had to say hatefully: "I must find out clearly. Even if I can't take revenge, I must let the owners and brothers know who harmed us."

...

After cleaning up the situation here, the group moved towards the mountain location, found a valley and temporarily stationed, and arranged some defense at the entrance of the valley and the paths. Liu Zongdao immediately set off and went to Pegasus Ranch to report the news.

The group waited here for a day before the two veterans, Liang Zhi, Shang Peng and Shang He, led more than 300 people to pick them up.

Seeing the tragic situation of the group, Liang Zhi asked about the process, sighed, and said, "Young Master Jiang's approach cannot be said to be inappropriate, but it is not decisive enough. At that time, we should have abandoned the horse and led the brothers to break through.

If the enemy gets the horse and gets what he wants, and without the desire to fight desperately, he will naturally not make things difficult for no reason."

Liu Zongdao came out first and retorted: "But the bandits didn't come for the horses, otherwise why didn't they say hello to surrender, and just shoot arrows and start fighting?

If we abandon our horses and just want to escape, they are forced to chase after them, and enter the ambush circle, most of us may not want to live."

Liang Zhi thought about it, bowed to Jiang Yan, said to forgive him, and said, "I am not thorough in thinking. After all, I have been peaceful for several years and my business has been doing too smoothly. I forgot that it is a time of chaos and I should not treat the other party as an ordinary robber."

He calmed down and said to Wu Zhaoru: "The same is true for you. After reading a few military books, he thought that the world is in power. Now he knows it is powerful, right? I have no right to punish you. When I go back to the ranch, I will go to the owner to receive the crime."

Wu Zhaoru bowed and bowed, silently retreated aside without saying anything.

Liang Zhi then said: "When I came, the bandits had retreated, but in this situation, it is really difficult to go to Xiangyang again, so I have to retreat to the ranch first.

I have a letter from the owner of the scene. I'm sorry that the second deacon is sending it to the Hanshui Gang and handing them to the leader of the gang, he will understand it."

Liu Zongdao nodded, and Liang Zhi wanted to ask Shang Peng and Shang He for escort. Jiang Yan said, "It just so happened that I was going to Xiangyang too, so I asked me and Deacon Liu to go this trip."

Everyone had a conversation with him in the past. Knowing that he was very good at martial arts, he had no doubts after this battle and would not have any objections.

So the two of them picked up good horses, prepared dry food and water, and took weapons, bows and arrows, and walked forward.

At first, I was still cautious, but later I found that the four major enemy soldiers had left, so I immediately accelerated my speed. After a few days, I arrived in Xiangyang.

...

Xiangyang is connected to Ruluo in the north, Qinshu in the west, Huguang in the south, Wuyue in the east, and Wuyue in the world. It was known as the "No. 1 city in China" early on, and it is a place that must be fought for by military strategists.

In later generations, the most famous thing here is two stories, one is the reality, and Guan Yu is here to shock China; the second is naturally the fictional Guo Jing guarding the city in the novel.

Xiangyang City has high walls, the city gate is surrounded by Yue'e, and the bell tower is facing each other, which is quite imposing.

At the gate of the city were a group of big men in blue clothes, with fierce expressions. Liu Zongdao recognized him as the Hanshui Gang. Although he was surprised, he did not make any comments on the purpose of the trip and honestly paid the entrance fee for the city.

Entering the city is a street that runs through the north and south city gates, with archways standing across the streets and houses on both sides lined up, endless.

Just after noon, there were shops next to the road, with people coming and going in the ancient and long streets, and a peaceful and lively scene, not like the surrounding bandits and the storm of war.

But from time to time, Hanshui Gangmen walked by in groups of three or five on the street to maintain order; there were also soldiers with long swords hanging on their waists and resentful faces patrolling back and forth.

The two families met and stared at each other, with a very unhappy expression on their faces, but they didn't act and separated. In this case, it was obvious that the Hanshui Gang and the Xiangyang County Magistrate's Office had not completely broken up.
