Chapter 105: Bad luck, Bai Wenxuan is going crazy
"Da da……"
Cao Yongxiang and several teammates were guarding the horses of the Youth Camp at the big wharf when they suddenly saw several fast horses galloping towards the big wharf from the wide trade road connecting the wharf and Wangjiazhuang.
"Shut up!"
After the visitors rode their horses onto the bluestone-paved ground at the dock, they all reined in their mounts.
"Where are Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi?"
"The king has a message for you to convey. Go and call them over."
The leader was a soldier from the old camp of the rebel army, who asked Cao Yongxiang who stopped him.
He had never met Cao Yongxiang, so he didn't know him.
Since joining the rebel army, Cao Yongxiang has either been training and studying in the Wang family compound, or in the small village outside the east gate of Dingbian City, teaching Xiao Douya and the others both literature and martial arts.
Apart from that, the few times he went out of the city, he was either on missions or following the army into battle, and he did not have much contact with outsiders.
Even among the soldiers in the old camp, not many had seen him.
"Wait a moment, I'll go call the captain and the others over."
When they heard the other party mention the names of Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi, they obviously knew that the soldiers responsible for capturing the treasure ship were the youth camp team headed by these two people.
Cao Yongxiang then put aside his guard, said something to him, turned around and called a member of his team, asking him to go call Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi.
Guarding the treasure ship here and the large amount of wealth and goods on board is the combat mission of his youth camp this time.
Before giving the surrender order, Cao Yongxiang had to be careful to avoid being fooled by the enemy.
After a while, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi leaped in front of each other.
"Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi!"
"The king has ordered that in a moment, Ma Yuanli will lead a newly formed navy to take over the two treasure ships!"
"When the time comes, the two of you will lead your respective teams and join the operation to clean up the remnants of Wang Family Village!"
After delivering the message, he said goodbye to Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi, "I still have to go and deliver the military order to Zhang Kewang, so I'll leave first."
After saying this, he turned around, mounted his horse, and galloped away with several messengers.
"Einenchi, it looks like we have won."
As soon as the messenger team left, Li Dingguo thought for a moment and said to Ai Nengqi beside him, "However, perhaps there are too many people from the Wang family who have fled in all directions, so the king has dispatched us to search and intercept them."
It was obvious that those members of the Wang family who took advantage of the chaos to escape could not have escaped on horseback.
Otherwise, their targets would be too obvious and they would be targeted by the rebels. Moreover, their whereabouts would be easily discovered and they would not be able to escape at all.
Since the other party didn't run away on horseback, it's dark now, and there are many dangers in the wilderness, so we can't just run away rashly.
The survivors of the Wang family have few places to choose from in such a short time.
We definitely cannot go to the county town, nor can we go to the northwest, because the rebel army still has a large group of soldiers in Tianjiazhuang in the northwest to deal with the aftermath.
As a result, there are not many places left for the remnants of the Wang family to escape in a short period of time.
If we use cavalry to search everywhere, most of the remnants can be found.
Only about a quarter of an hour later, a team of about a hundred warriors and soldiers came galloping on horseback.
The leader was Ma Yuanli, whom Li Dingguo and his friends knew.
Seeing the happy expression of the rebel leader, you can tell that he is in a good mood.
Li Dingguo guessed that this was because the rebel army had captured two treasure ships again. As the commander of the navy, Ma Yuanli's power would naturally rise, and the number of naval officers and soldiers under his command would inevitably double again.
Although this newly formed navy only has two more treasure ships than yesterday at noon, it still needs to recruit at least thirty more soldiers from the old camp and one hundred sailors and boatmen who are familiar with water to operate the two newly acquired treasure ships.
As a result, Ma Yuanli now has more than 200 warriors under his command, including 60 soldiers from the old camp who are proficient in water.
In today's small-scale rebel army, he is also one of the powerful figures who holds great power.
"Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi! Thank you for your hard work!"
Ma Yuanli was all smiles. He dismounted and walked over in a very friendly manner. He patted Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi on the shoulders and said with a smile, "You are indeed the geniuses chosen by the king. How long have you joined the rebel army? You have already grown to this point!"
"I was the one who gathered you from all over Dingbian City. The past events are still vivid in my mind!"
"It has not even been two months until now. I never thought that both of you have become independent rebel generals."
"In the future, if you have any difficulties, just tell Uncle Ma directly!" "If I can help, Uncle Ma will never hesitate!"
"Hahaha……"
He laughed loudly and continued, "I, your Uncle Ma, still want your Youth Camp to help me capture a few more treasure ships in the future!"
The last sentence revealed that he wanted to have mutual benefit with Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi in the future.
"Uncle Ma, don't worry. If you have any difficulties in the future, we will not be polite."
Li Dingguo naturally knew how to respond, and said with a smile, "Of course, if there is a chance, I will definitely help you, Uncle Ma, to expand the navy of our rebel army."
"Uncle Ma, I'll leave this to you. Ai Nengqi and I will go and execute the military order that the king just issued. We will chase after those members of the Wang family who have escaped the net and try to catch them all in one fell swoop!"
After exchanging polite words with Ma Yuanli, Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi said goodbye to each other.
The two of them quickly gathered all the team members, rode away on fast horses, and disappeared at the end of the distant road in a flash.
……
"Wang Wenbo!"
"Finally I caught you!"
"I want to see where you want to run to!"
At the edge of a dense forest, a group of more than a dozen core members of the Wang family were fleeing for their lives.
They were about to escape into the dense forest in front of them, which undoubtedly gave them a good chance of escaping.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a Qi Refining Realm master came galloping on a spirit beast warhorse, and caught up with them after just a few breaths.
This Qi Refining master who suddenly appeared was none other than Zhang Xianzhong.
Not far behind him, Bai Wenxuan and two rebel leaders who were at the early third level of martial arts arrived at the scene riding on spirit beast horses.
Bai Wenxuan just felt that everything went wrong tonight, and that he was unlucky and extremely unlucky.
First, he confidently sent out several teams of scouts to monitor the Tianjia Wharf and the nearby river.
The results of it?
These guys didn't take it seriously at all. They didn't even notice that the two treasure ships of the Wang family had arrived!
If Li Dingguo had not suddenly wanted to take a bath in the river, and if Tang Guangqiang, who was with him, had not coincidentally discovered the enemy, the chances of the core members of the Wang family escaping successfully tonight would have been more than 90%.
That’s all.
Next, Bai Wenxuan led a team of soldiers from the old camp, and they had an interception encounter with Wang Wenbo, the head of the Wang family, and they were not going well again!
He led nearly a hundred soldiers from the old camp, including more than a dozen leaders of the second and third levels of martial arts, but they ended up almost in a draw with the thirty or so core clan members led by Wang Wenbo, the head of the Wang family!
The fierce battle lasted for half an hour, and both sides suffered heavy casualties!
Although there were only a dozen core members left in the Wang family, all of whom were masters of the second and third levels of martial arts, nearly half of Bai Wenxuan's old camp soldiers were also killed or injured!
In terms of casualties, the number of casualties on the rebel side was about twice that of the Wang family.
At this critical moment, Wang Wenbo, the head of the Wang family, suddenly discovered that the two treasure ships docked at the large dock ahead had been captured by two other enemy teams.
After knowing that there was no hope of escaping on the treasure ship, Wang Wenbo hurriedly led the remaining dozen or so core members of the clan and fled!
Bai Wenxuan, who was so angry that he was fuming, would certainly not give up.
He led the remaining forty-odd soldiers from the old camp and launched a persistent and protracted pursuit.
During the pursuit, Bai Wenxuan fought with the enemy twice more. As a result, in addition to the death of more than a dozen soldiers, he still failed to capture the last dozen core members of the Wang family.
Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Kewang had already captured Wangjiazhuang at this time. After receiving the information that Bai Wenxuan had sent people to request support, Zhang Xianzhong immediately arrived in time riding a mid-grade spiritual beast warhorse obtained in Tianjiazhuang.
He has arrived just in time.
Otherwise, it would only take a dozen more breaths for these stray dogs led by Wang Wenbo to successfully escape into this extremely large dense forest.
This kind of large dense forest is extremely dangerous. Even Zhang Xianzhong did not dare to lead people deep into it.
If they let the other party escape, they would be so angry that they would want to vomit blood because they suffered a great loss due to their momentary carelessness!
Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong had caught up with the enemy in person in time, Bai Wenxuan, who had followed him, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a little out of breath, looking at the Wang family members in front of him who were also breathing heavily, with a murderous look in his eyes.
There was no way. Compared to this morning, when the rebels captured Tianjiazhuang almost without any loss, the losses in tonight's battle with Wangjiazhuang were really too great.
Since the rebel army started the uprising, they have never suffered such a great loss. How could Bai Wenxuan not be furious?
If he didn't dislike eating people, he would have chopped up the head of the Wang family, Wang Wenbo, and cooked him after the war!
Only in this way can he ease the anger in his heart that is about to explode!
He swore that in the upcoming battle, he would definitely vent his anger and would not leave any intact corpse of these enemies!
We also need to find a group of stray dogs with green eyes due to hunger, cut the bodies of the remnants of the Wang family into pieces, and then let the stray dogs eat them all!
It is conceivable how angry Bai Wenxuan is now!
