Fengxiang Mansion, Shuiluocheng.

September 20th.

Shuiluocheng is located at the intersection of Pingliang and Gongchang prefectures, and is located between Guanshan River Road.

There is the Shuiluo River outside, flowing around the city and connecting the two prefectures. During the Song Dynasty, it was an important place for the Song army to fight against the Western Xia.

But since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army has continuously expanded its sphere of influence and regained its old land.

This former border city has now lost its original role and has become an ordinary city in the mainland.

Only the scars on the city wall can remind people of how many storms this city has experienced.

The gate of Shuiluo City was closed at this time, and a large number of strong men holding weapons stood on the city walls.

The eyes of the military and civilians guarding the city were all placed on the official road not far away.

Just outside the city, an army of chaotic armor was slowly advancing towards the southwest along the broken official road.

There were more than 10,000 bandits outside the city. Although it seemed that they had suffered a defeat, the garrison of Shuiluo City did not dare to leave the city at all.

The entire Shuiluo City had only more than 300 soldiers, and there were not enough weapons, so what should I use to fight? He only hoped that these plague gods would leave the territory of Shuiluo City quickly and not come to attack Shuiluo City with a burning heart.

Li Guo was not sure what the guards of Shui Luocheng were thinking.

But even if it is clear, it is useless to Li Zui.

Not to mention 300 people, even 30 people, he would not go to the Shuiluocheng.

Because less than twenty miles behind him, a Ming army hung behind him like a maggot on his bones.

At this time, Li Guo was already in a mess, and the brocade robe on his body had long been thrown away.

The high-top helmet on his head has been replaced by a hat helmet, and the original high-top helmet has been left on the battle formation.

The fish scales and bright armor were covered with dust and were in a state of no time to take care of.

Li Guo now thinks about what happened a few days ago, and he can't help but feel cold all over.

He originally wanted to lead the troops to Fengxiang Mansion, but on the way to march, he was ambushed by the Ming army.

The Ming army ambushed them in total only more than 800 cavalry, and the front army suffered a great loss when they were caught off guard.

The horse army was dispersed, and the hungry soldiers' formation was also destroyed.

He gritted his teeth and took the spirit cavalry to rush forward, but after just one encounter, he was at a disadvantage, and even he almost died in the formation.

Looking back now, Li Guo couldn't stop being afraid.

Li Guo saw with his own eyes that the officers and soldiers' generals killed two people in a row just by handing over the horse, breaking through for a while.

At that time, the first person Li Guo remembered was Cao Bianjiao.

However, Cao Bianjiao usually wears brocade robe and red armor. It is unique among the entire Ming army and is very easy to identify.

If it weren't for the officers and soldiers who led the troops were not wearing red armor, Li Guo would have thought that this person was Cao Bianjiao.

The officers and soldiers and generals all had armor and armor, all of which were exquisite armor and sharp blades, and you could tell at a glance that they were elite soldiers in a hundred battles.

The elite cavalry from the border troops under his command were slaughtered like native chickens and tiles.

But for some reason, those officers, soldiers and cavalry did not take advantage of the victory to pursue too far, allowing him to escape from the sky.

Li Guo didn't think much at that time. He was just glad that he successfully escaped and led his troops to escape in the direction of Gongchang Mansion.

What really made Li Guo noticed was the strange thing that happened later.

He was preparing to pass through Zhangjiachuan in Gongchang Prefecture and then go from Zhangjiachuan to Fengxiang Prefecture.

Take the path that Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong had taken before.

But this time, the officers and soldiers' cavalry blocked their only way forward like ghosts, and this time there were even more than two thousand infantry.

After a tentative attack on the troops, Li Guo led his troops directly and withdrew directly.

Then Li Guo recalled everything that happened before. At the time of Romon, the officers and soldiers were extremely strange in their behavior, as if they had deliberately let him go.

The same is true in Zhangjiachuan. The officers and soldiers only pursued for several miles and stopped chasing.

Now the officers and soldiers chasing him were hanging about twenty miles behind him, not far or near, and kept this distance.

Li Guo felt that his head was not enough now, and he couldn't understand what the officer and soldier hanging behind him were thinking.

It was obvious that he could be easily wiped out, but the officers and soldiers were hanging from behind from a distance, and seemed to have no idea of ​​wiped out him.

The two blockings seemed to be just not wanting him to walk towards Fengxiang Mansion, but wanted him to walk towards Qin'an in Gongchang Mansion.

The siege sent out finally heard the news the day before yesterday.

The officers and soldiers' horses and cavalry retreated on their own and directly placed the observation position to them.

The news I heard was also the news that the officers and soldiers gave them.

The number of officers and soldiers chasing them was nearly 5,000, with all clothes and armor, all flags and extremely strict queues.

The officers and soldiers divided into two groups at the intersection of the road, continuing to hang behind them all the way to pursue them. There were about 1,600 people along the way.

The other route went straight south and marched towards Zhangjiachuan. They were all infantry, about 3,000, all infantry.

Li Guo has a map of Gong Chang's mansion, and he knows very well what this unit that is advancing towards Zhangjiachuan is doing.

After heading south to Zhangjiachuan, Qingshui is the east of Qin'an.

The two previous actions of officers and soldiers intercepting him and leading his troops to Fengxiang Mansion were obvious, and the purpose of this officer and soldier infantry was to be prepared to intercept the official road east of Qin'an to prevent him from escaping towards Fengxiang Mansion.

Li Guo's face was embarrassed and his face turned red. He now felt like he was a mouse played with by a cat.

It doesn’t feel good to have your own life and life in the hands of others.

The news of the horse's return was clearly the officers and soldiers' generals told him not to think about walking towards Fengxiang Mansion, and to look at Qin'an and Qinzhou honestly.

Li Guo has now completely extinguished his thoughts of continuing to go to Fengxiang Mansion.

It is September 20th now, and Guanzhong is probably in chaos.

All the wars that should be fought and those that should not be fought have been fought. Now it is probably the end of the war, and it is completely too late for him to rush over now.

Fengxiang Mansion cannot go to Guanzhong, he must find another way out now.

Looking at the map of Gongchang Mansion that had begun to turn yellow in front of him, Li Guo only felt a split headache.

There was only one road in front of him, that is, after passing through Shuiluocheng, he kept going south, towards Qin'an and Qinzhou.

Then he continued to go deep into the hinterland of Gongchang Prefecture and walked south.

"Are you really going to Sichuan?"

Li Guo looked at the area bordering Gongchang Mansion above the map and felt a little overwhelmed again.

To the west of Gongchang Prefecture are Lintao Prefecture and Minzhou Guard. Lintao Prefecture has military towns, Minzhou Guard also has battalions, and there are also many Qiang soldiers.

Going westward is to grab the offering of fruits on the King of Hell's table - seeking death.

Of course, there is no need to consider the north. The north side of Gongchang Prefecture is Jingluwei and Pingliang Prefecture. He came from the north. It was really a problem with his brain when he fled north.

In the east, the officers and soldiers have set up defenses, and even if they have wings, they can't fly.

The only option available now is the way south, and the south side of Gongchang Prefecture is connected to Sichuan Province, and the other is the connection with Hanzhong Prefecture.

"Can't go to Sichuan..."

Li Guo's face was slightly stiff and he decisively rejected the idea in his mind.

You can't go to Sichuan anywhere.

All the Sichuan soldiers were crazy people, and they were even more cruel than the border troops in each town.

Especially those chieftain soldiers holding white poles and spears, they are even more terrifying.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, they joined forces to siege and kill Sima Fengyi, chieftain of Shibu, Sichuan. All the elite generals were released, most of them were killed and injured, and finally they were killed.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to capture Kuizhou, an important town in eastern Sichuan, and gathered more than 50,000 troops.

As a result, Qin Liangyu caught up with him, beaten him to throw away his armor, and only a thousand cavalry left behind and returned.

Later, when the Sichuan troops arrived, all the 36th battalions were scared.

The Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong came from the army around him, and they were originally battalions in Yansui Town. Therefore, they gathered many deserters and dead troops under their command, and their combat power was second only to the King of Chuang Gao Yingxiang among the troops.

Li Guo is very clear about his ability. There is a reason why no one in Sichuan dares to invade for so many years.

First, because of the terrain, the road to Shu is often the only way to pass by one man and ten thousand men.

The second is because the Sichuan soldiers are brave and brave, and their combat power is amazing.

Third, the Sichuan soldiers are different from those officers and soldiers who came from various places to fight in Shaanxi and Henan, and have a negative attitude towards the fight.

The Sichuan soldiers were all locals, and they were very determined to fight and were tenacious and unyielding because they defended the countryside.

Zhang Xianzhong didn't believe in this evil, and then he was beaten to throw away his armor.

Li Guo's eyes wandered towards the southeast, and Sichuan Province would definitely not be able to go there.
