    On the gloomy wilderness, hundreds of henchmen led by Qin Lie were rushing southward to break through, and everyone was running out of breath.

    Although their army had been out of food for three days, Qin Lie and his confidants were still able to eat a small amount of privately stored rations, which saved some energy.

    However, just relying on a bowl of porridge every day, the physical strength is also limited. After leaving the big camp and heading south for several miles, many people could not hold on.

    "Young master, I really can't run away, let's rest for a while." Someone gasped.

    Seeing many confidant soldiers with their hands on their knees, panting like fish out of water, Qin Lie couldn't bear it.

    "Don't stop, once the bandits catch up, there will be no way out!"

    Although Yu couldn't bear it, Qin Lie also knew that they were not out of danger, so he could only force them to continue marching.

    However, more and more people began to fall behind, sparsely, and the line got longer and longer, Qin Lie was also very anxious.

    "My lord, I can't control that much anymore, how many can run out?"

    Seeing that Qin Lie was still trying to gather up the fallen soldiers, some generals stepped forward to persuade him to give up.

    Although Qin Lie really wanted to bring all these soldiers back alive, but seeing that they couldn't run anymore, he had no choice but to give up.

    "Let's go, leave them alone."

    Seeing those soldiers who were far behind, Qin Lie gritted his teeth, and hurried south with those who could beat him, and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

    But not long after, there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes behind them.

    Everyone stopped in unison and turned their heads to look back, only to see a line of fire appeared in the dark night.

    "It is the cavalry of the bandit army who are catching up!"

    Seeing the rapid growth of that line of fire, it seemed that countless cavalrymen holding torches were chasing up from behind.

    "run!"

    Seeing the cavalry of the Qinghe Army chasing up so quickly, Qin Lie also looked bitter, and ordered to run away at a faster speed.

    But how can two legs run faster than four? The sound of horseshoes behind him is getting louder and louder, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer.

    "You run to the west, and I will lure away the pursuers of the bandit army."

    Facing the cavalry of the Qinghe Army who were chasing after him, Qin Lie had no choice but to divide the team into two.

    Under Qin Lie's order, most of the soldiers and generals fled eastward, while Qin Lie led more than a hundred people westward.

    "Hide on the spot, don't run away."

    When the two sides separated, Qin Lie did not follow what he said to attract the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, but let his followers hide on the spot and hid.

    The cavalry of the Qinghe Army were really fooled, and after a circle in place, they rumbled westward.

    Qin Lie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the cavalry of the Qinghe Army heading westward in pursuit. He secretly said sorry to the generals who broke out westward, and then broke out southward.

    Although Qin Lie tried his best to break out of the siege, when the sky was about to dawn, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army chased after him again.

    And Qin Lie and the others were as tired as dead dogs, they couldn't run anymore.

    "Put down your weapons and surrender, and your lives will be spared."

    More than a hundred Qinghe troops surrounded Qin Lie and others, and countless lances glowing cold were pointed at them.

    "I am Qin Lie, the eldest son of the Qin family, please treat us kindly."

    After Qin Lie revealed his identity, he also ordered to put down his weapons and voluntarily surrendered.

    "What a coincidence, you were our prisoner when you were at Yingzui Peak, and I never thought we would catch you again."

    Hearing that they had captured the eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Lie, the cavalry officers also showed a joking expression.

    "Do you have anything to eat or drink? We are too hungry to eat."

    The cavalry of the Qinghe Army wanted to detain Qin Lie and the others as captives, but Qin Lie and the others escaped overnight and couldn't move anymore.

    "It's really troublesome. If I had known what you were running for, I would have just surrendered obediently."

    The cavalry officer couldn't help complaining when he saw the weak captives.

    The cavalry of the Qinghe Army confiscated Qin Lie's weapons and gave them food and drink before taking them into custody.

    However, in the middle of the journey, Qin Lie took advantage of the fact that one of the cavalrymen who detained him was not paying attention, and dragged him off the horseDown, snatched the horse and tried to escape.

    "Don't let him get away!"

    The cavalry officer didn't expect Qin Lie to want to run away, so he was furious and personally led his men to chase after him.

    Qin Lie snatched the horse, but his speed was much faster, and he turned a deaf ear to the warnings from behind.

    "Puff!"

    But he regretted it the next moment. Two sharp arrows pierced his back, and Qin Lie fell off his horse.

    Qin Lie heard the sound of hoofbeats and cursing from far and near, he felt the world spinning, and soon lost consciousness.

    When Qin Lie was brought back, he had already become a cold corpse, which made Li Changqing, head of the Guard Banner of the Qinghe Army, very regretful.

    The original intention of Li Changqing, the head of the banner group, was to catch one alive, which would deal a great blow to the morale of the militia.

    But what he didn't expect was that Qin Lie wanted to seize the horse and escape, but now he was shot dead.

    Although Qin Lie, the eldest son of the Qin family, was shot and killed by the cavalry of the Qinghe army, almost all the tens of thousands of militia troops under his command became prisoners of the Qinghe army.

    ? Qin Lie led 60,000 civilian troops to rush towards Yunxi Mansion aggressively, threatening to take down Yunxi Mansion within a few days.

    But they smashed their halberds into the sand in the Moaning River, the 60,000 army was wiped out, and Qin Lie also died.

    The Qinghe Army Guards Banner Regiment won the first battle, not only beheading Qin Lie, the eldest son of the Qin family, but also annihilating 60,000 militiamen, of whom 30,000 were captured.

    Among the 30,000 prisoners of war, there were more than 50 generals of battalion generals, generals, and lieutenant generals, which made Li Changqing, the head of the Jinwei Banner, speechless.

    The 20th Corps of the People's Army is expanding too fast, and everyone is recruited into it, and officials are appointed wantonly to win over people's hearts, resulting in a large number of senior generals, but the combat effectiveness is a mess.

    After the Guards Banner Regiment won a big victory at the Moaning River, the news was quickly reported to the Second Army Command Headquarters stationed in Changze Town.

    "Order the Guards Banner Regiment to leave a banner battalion to take care of the prisoners of war, and the rest of the troops will reinforce Li Lang and the others."

    Chen Ziang was very happy with the victory of the Guards Banner Regiment. After praising Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, and Li Changqing, the head of the banner, he immediately dispatched them to reinforce Li Lang and the others.

    There are two infantry banner regiments and one cavalry banner regiment under Li Lang's command, but they have to deal with more than 100,000 people of the militia, and the strength is still a bit stretched.

    After cleaning the battlefield, the Guards Banner Regiment only rested for half a day, and then rushed to the new battlefield without stopping.

    When the Guards Banner Regiment headed for a new battlefield, the main force of the 20th Corps of the People's Army who was in a dilemma also made a decision, that is, to withdraw to Anling County.

    Because their logistics supplies have been burned, if they continue to move forward, once they fail to collect food and grass along the way, they will be in danger of running out of food.

    To be on the safe side, Qin Feng decided to withdraw his troops back to Anling County, and attack again after replenishing the food and grass.

    While deciding to retreat, Qin Feng also sent several groups of messengers to the Moaning River, ordering Qin Lie's troops to break out of the encirclement and approach them immediately.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
