Chapter 629: Gazing at Each Other from a Distance
Fan Yang asked, "Thank you, General, should I knock on the door?"
Xie Zhan's mind was no longer here. But he still remembered the purpose of his trip, so he collected his thoughts and nodded at him.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Dad?" Zhang Ci looked at his father.
Zhang Zhongxian waved his hand and said, "Go open the door."
He had heard a little about the situation in Pingzhou. Regardless, he didn't want the Lord of Pingzhou to get into trouble in Qingzhou. At least Lu Songli's existence gave the common people another option.
After opening the door to welcome the guests, the Zhang family father and son could only welcome them into the main hall.
Seeing the teacup on the table, Fan Yang's eyes flashed, "Mr. Zhang had a guest just now?" Thinking of a certain possibility, Fan Yang's heart couldn't help but beat fast.
Zhang Ci secretly cursed and didn't have time to clean up.
Zhang Zhongxian responded calmly, "Yeah."
"Just left? Who was it?"
"Distinguished guest." Zhang Zhongxian didn't want to say more.
Fan Yang looked at Xie Zhan, his eyes surprisingly bright. It seemed that the person who had just left was most likely that person.
Xie Zhan frowned at Zhang Zhongxian's subtle favoritism.
Over there, while galloping on horseback, Qin Sheng lowered his head and said, "Lili, I will definitely protect you."
"Well, I believe you." Lu Songli squinted his eyes, facing the wind, but looked forward with a firm gaze.
Sun Congyi pushed his horse forward with all his might, finally catching up with Zhuifeng. He shouted, "Sixth Master, they're chasing us."
"Okay, I understand."
Since the other party has caught up with him, Qin Sheng immediately gave up the idea of luck.
He reached into his arms, flicked his index finger, and threw the candle that was used to gather people into the sky. With a whoosh, the fireworks exploded.
Today, he must get Lili out of the North Sea safely! No one can stop him!
It was rainy along the coast, and at noon, layers of dark clouds had already gathered above the sky.
As Qin Sheng's fireworks signaled a sudden rise into the sky, there were movements in the direction of the Dabieyuan where Xue Xu was currently located, the direction of the pier, and the secret spot between the Zhang family and the pier.
Xue Xu stood up in shock, "Oh no, the governor is in trouble!"
He immediately ordered Makino to bring all the men out.
Xue Xu looked solemn. The governor and his entourage must be in big trouble!
When the governor disembarked, he brought 300 elite soldiers with him. One hundred and twenty of them went with the Zhang family, and the remaining 180 were hidden along the way to provide support. Logically, the governor bringing over a hundred men to the Zhang family was more than enough.
He couldn't imagine what kind of accident it was.
Judging from the direction, the governor and his men may have encountered an accident at the Zhang family.
To be able to threaten the Governor and his entourage, they must be accompanied by a large number of troops, and appear near the Zhang family. He had a vague guess in his mind...
Besiege Wei to save Zhao!
He hurriedly chased after them and ordered the Muye soldiers to split into two groups, one to support the governor and the other to go to Zhang's house to besiege the leader of the enemy army.
Lu Dayou pleaded, "Mr. Xue, let me go!"
"Feng Su, you and Lu Dayou should take some people with you."
Xue Xu felt that with Qin Sheng's ability, if the enemy leader was the one besieging them, Qin Sheng would definitely not miss such an opportunity to capture the leader first.
Since the governor and his entourage are still in danger, it proves that the enemy leader is safe.
Xue Xu felt that no matter whether there were any results or not, he had to send someone to do it, so as not to let his lord's life be threatened!
Xue Xu's precise analysis allowed him to make the most advantageous response.
At the Beihai Wharf, Lin Shan also had a serious expression on his face.
He immediately activated the emergency response plan. This was the only way out, and he had to ensure that the way out was unobstructed!
Of course, it would be best to arrange some manpower to meet the governor and others.
Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Jinlong were hiding with their brothers along the road between Zhang's house and the pier. They were closest to Lu Songli.
After they saw the signal, they rushed to support Lu Songli and the others as quickly as possible.
"Damn it! Let me, Old Zhu, see who the blind man is that bumped into me!"
The three parties worked together, and these people picked up their weapons and quickly gathered towards the direction where Lu Songli was under the leadership of the person above.
The Qingzhou governor could not mobilize the surrounding troops quickly, so he could only order the mobilization of the existing garrison and officers and soldiers of Beihai County, about 1,500 people, to go to the dock to encircle and intercept.
Qingzhou is not a strategically located area, so there are not many troops stationed there.
But such a big commotion still alarmed the people, "What happened?"
On the other side, when Xie Bai led more than 200 cavalrymen to catch up, Qin Sheng and more than 100 elite soldiers had already formed a battle formation, protecting Lu Songli in the middle.
When Xie Bai saw Lu Songli and Qin Sheng in the team, he opened his eyes wide in shock. He didn't expect that it was such a big fish!
"Come here, set up the formation!"
With his order, the more than 200 soldiers brought by Xie Bai immediately set into motion.
Xie Bai said in a high voice, "The Pingzhou rebel leaders, Lü Songli and Qin Sheng, are here. We must do everything we can to keep them alive, regardless of life or death!"
"Everyone, the title of nobility and the appointment of prime ministers all depend on this battle!"
At the end of the team, someone got the news and hurried back.
Qin Sheng saw that the other party had set up a four-sided dragon trapping formation and snorted coldly, "If you want to catch a turtle in a jar, you have to see if your jar is strong enough!"
Qin Sheng swung his arms, forming a spear flower, and pointed his spear at the ground, "Jintai Army, follow me to fight!"
Alice and Luo Tieniu guarded Lu Songli closely.
After the Pingzhou soldiers formed up, they roared loudly.
"Defend the Governor to the death!"
"Defend the Governor to the death!"
"Pingzhou will win!"
"Pingzhou will win!"
Xie Bai was not overconfident. He thought that as long as he could hold them back and wait for the commander-in-chief to send more troops, they would be unable to escape.
After the battle between the two sides began, anyone who showed up and wanted to harm Lu Songli was killed by Qin Sheng's spear. Even if there were any fish that slipped through the net, they would be dealt with by Alice or Luo Tieniu.
After the communications soldier sent back by Xie Bai reported the previous news, Xie Zhan stood up. He was just suspicious just now, but he didn't expect that Lu Songli would actually risk his life for Zhang Zhongxian!
Fan Yang suggested that Xie Zhan send all the soldiers they had, "General, no matter what the cost, it's worth it to keep Lü Songli."
He brought three hundred soldiers, and the Qingzhou governor brought twenty or thirty people. He currently has nearly a hundred soldiers with him.
"Send another sixty people to support!"
But just as Xie Zhan sent his men out, they were attacked by Feng Su, Lu Dayou and others.
Feng Su did not attack. He took advantage of the chaos to hide his whereabouts and found a hidden corner. He held his breath and aimed the arrow in his sleeve at Xie Zhan in the main hall.
He shot the arrow based on his feeling.
Unfortunately, the reflection of the metal of the arrow was noticeable.
"Grand Commander, be careful!"
Xie Zhan was knocked down and there was chaos again.
Feng Su secretly said what a shame. Arrows kept coming from the direction where he was hiding.
The commotion here attracted Lu Dayou, who immediately stepped forward to help, "Old bitch, you can do it."
Feng Su rolled his eyes at him and was too lazy to correct the nickname he had given him.
After being attacked, Xie Zhan had to send a signal for help.
On the other side, Zhu Dazhuang, Chen Jinlong and others also arrived.
"Governor, Sixth Master, we're here!"
"Sixth Master, I'm here to help you!" Zhu Dazhuang rushed forward, yelling.
Xie Bai's men were attacked from both inside and outside and had to divide their forces to deal with the attack.
In the next two quarters of an hour, of the more than two hundred people brought by Xie Bai, only a quarter were still standing.
Bright red blood, broken corpses, wailing everywhere...
Xie Bai looked at Qin Sheng in horror. How could there be such a huge disparity in their fighting abilities?
Xie Bai led the remaining people to retreat to the side. They refused to leave, nor did they step forward to die, like a group of jackals unwilling to give up their prey.
Qin Sheng and others did not waste time continuing to strangle them, but quickly changed their formation into a long snake formation, with Sun Congyi at the head, Qin Sheng at the tail, and the two wings were handed over to Zhu Dazhuang and other strong men.
The entire team is like a giant python attacking, moving quickly while maintaining strong attack power.
On Lu Dayou Fengsu's side, after harassing Xie Zhan and others for a while, they slowly retreated. By the time Fan Yang and others realized what was happening, everyone had already left.
Xie Zhan led his men to chase after them and headed straight for the dock. When they arrived at the dock, the soldiers of Pingzhou had already broken through the defenses of the Beihai garrison and the mixed army of officers and soldiers.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated.
Lu Songli and Xie Zhan, one standing on the boat and the other standing on the ground, looked at each other from afar under the blue sea and clear sky.
