A cauliflower snake was wandering through the grass quickly, and instinctively made it feel a huge danger, prompting it to escape from this dangerous area as fast as possible, but it was obvious that its enemies were much stronger than it had premonition. A big foot accurately stepped on its head, and then a burly figure bent down, moved its soles slightly, and a few fingers pinched seven inches, lifting the cauliflower snake that was nearly two meters long.

The cauliflower snake twisted its body desperately, wrapped its long body around it, tightening it tightly, trying to get a chance for itself, but the cold snake body also touched the cold iron armor.

The strong man who pinched the snake seven inches laughed, stretched out his other hand and easily cut through the snake's body. He took out the snake's gall from the snake's body, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it whole.

The snake gallbladder is clear and the mind is bright, but for him, it is indeed a good thing.

If a good Sagittarius has poor eyesight, it will be a waste of half of his time.

He swallowed the snake's gallbladder, held the snake's body with his other hand, and with a loud crash, the snake's head was torn off, thrown away from a distance, and then took the snake's body off his arm, and gave it to the troops behind him.

A huge cauliflower snake entered the belly of several soldiers behind him in a flash.

This is a defeated army.

To be precise, they were a general under the command of Li Xin, a troops under the Eastern Capital Luoyang. They were the generals who were the ones who were aware of the sky with their shooting skills.

After the fall of Weizhou, Li Xin and Niu Furen died in battle, Li Hai's troops were defeated when they heard the news. In the end, he just led hundreds of confidants to break through the siege and escape into the mountains.

In the past two months, Li Hai has almost become a bandit. He has no food, so he can only rob. Not only the common people, but also the Xuanwu Army. As long as he has the opportunity to attack and can do it, Li Hai will dispatch without hesitation. From the beginning, he only had more than 200 cavalrymen, but now he has slowly gathered up thousands of defeated troops.

These people not only had the Shence Army of the eastern capital Luoyang, but also the Chang'an Shence Army of the Chang'an under Chen Bang's command.

With fewer people, life can be easier. Although there are more people, life is more difficult. At the beginning, Xuanwu Army did not take them seriously. Although they occasionally attacked Xuanwu's logistics transportation, as long as they strengthened their vigilance, this little manpower would not play any role. As for their snatching the villages and towns, Xuanwu Army didn't care at all.

But now that there are too many people, Li Hai has no way to steal the village because it is not enough to support them. He can only put his ideas on the Xuanwu Army. After succeeding once or twice, he finally attracted the pursuit of Xuanwu Army. Li Hai, who had no choice but to lead them around.

Gradually, the manpower is also decreasing.

Some died in battle, while others became deserters when they saw that the situation was not good. Li Hai did not care about this. These people were originally people with weak will, so it would be better if they ran away, so as not to waste the food he had worked hard to get.

However, life is getting harder and harder. As the Xuanwu Army occupied this area for a long time, their rule gradually stabilized. The Xuanwu Army, which set up checkpoints everywhere, is gradually reducing Li Hai's activity space. From this point of view, Zhu Youwen, the commander of the Xuanwu Army in Weizhou, is indeed a talent.

He was not in a hurry to send a large army to wipe out the scattered imperial team under his jurisdiction, but instead squeezed into a specific area bit by bit, and then gathered to annihilate it.

Of course Li Hai knew this, but he couldn't do it.

He had only this strength and could not touch the county town. He could not avoid the enemy's garrison. The avenues were blocked and there were checkpoints on the small roads.

If this continues, even if you don’t starve to death, you will probably be surrounded by the enemy’s army in the end.

Surrender is also a way out. Xuanwu's army still appreciates Li Hai very much. In the battle of Zhaoyi, almost all the 100,000 Shen Ce troops of the court were dispersed. Except for those who died in battle and fled, the others who survived surrendered to Xuanwu. Now that they were reorganized by Xuanwu's army, they are becoming their new force in the fight against Hedong and Wuwei. Only Li Hai, who not only ran away from the siege, but also brought up another team, causing great trouble to Xuanwu.

Zhu Youwen once posted a letter of surrender signed by him everywhere in various villages and towns. As long as Li Hai was willing to surrender, he would be appointed as the deputy commander of Weizhou.

However, Li Hai was flirting with Zhu Youwen's desire.

Is he afraid of death?

Of course. Who is not afraid of death?

But as soon as he thinks of King Fu Li Xin, he will not be able to resist the resentment of one of Niu Furen and others who died in the battlefield and the other burned himself in Weizhou City. Li Hai couldn't help but feel extremely angry. These are all his benefactors, and his kindness is more important than the mountain. Even if he cannot avenge them, he will never surrender to Xuanwu, who killed his benefactor.

Li Hai decided to play a big game.

Ten days ago, he set his sights on Le'an County.

There are not many troops garrisoned here, only one or two thousand people. For him, who still has 800 people, there is no need to fight.

Of course, it is not a hard line for clear swords and guns.

He first sent a clever subordinate to sneak into Le'an County. To his surprise, there was a Shence Army of more than 100 people recruited in Le'an County. It was affiliated with the Shence Army of Luoyang. The whistle leader who led the more than 100 people happened to be a person known to Li Hai, a distant relative of the Chief Situation Pei Ju, named Pei Yuanqing.

After contacting Pei Yuanqing, Li Hai's confidence increased greatly. This time he hid in the morning and went out at night, lurking near Le'an, preparing to steal Le'an City, get enough food, fight horses, and then flee towards the river.

"Li Zhen, I will bring fifty people into Le'an City. Pei Yuanqing will accept me. He can no longer accept more people." Li Hai looked at his deputy Li Zhen. This was a clan of the royal family. It was also the reason why Li Hai believed in him. Others would surrender. People like Li Zhen would definitely not, because Xuanwu and Zhu Wen are now preparing to dig up the ancestral grave of his Li Dynasty.

"Three days later, at midnight, you led all your men to launch a sudden attack on Le'an. Pei Yuanqing and I met in the city, took down the county town in one fell swoop, and then got enough food and war horses. We had a great chance to escape. As long as we escaped into the river, we would have a chance to return to Chang'an." Li Hai said.

"General Li, is Pei Yuanqing trustworthy? He surrendered to Xuanwu!" Li Zhen said gritting his teeth.

"Under such a situation, we can't blame others too much." Li Hai sighed: "Besides, even for the sake of Pei Changshi's face, I will choose to believe him once. Li Zhen, we don't have many opportunities anymore. Zhu Youwen is a powerful figure. If we continue to waste like this, we won't even think about living."

Li Zhen nodded helplessly: "General Li, you have to be careful."

"In three days, the attack will be launched. If I don't send you a letter, the action will be cancelled immediately. You will also disperse and run away. Remember my code words. If there is no code words, it means I am finished." Li Hai said.

Li Zhen nodded.

That night, Li Hai left the team with fifty confidants and quietly headed towards Le'an. The next day, with the help of Pei Yuanqing, he successfully entered the city and then lurked in the Pei army.

The Le'an County was unprepared, which made Li Hai very happy.

But this joy lasted only half a day. On this day, I firmly believe that a soldier with a total of 3,000 people suddenly appeared outside Le'an City. The commander of the troops was Zhu Youwen stationed in the Acropolis.

Li Hai was stunned for a moment.

Did anyone betray him? Otherwise, why would Zhu Youwen suddenly lead the army here?

Before he could put his suspicion of Pei Yuanqing into practice, he was even more shocked. After dawn, more Xuanwu troops came in endlessly. For a moment, nearly 20,000 Xuanwu troops gathered in Le'an.

However, Li Hai, who was hiding in Pei Yuanqing's camp, was completely unscathed.

This made Li Hai know that Pei Yuanqing had not betrayed him. Something must have happened to something else, which led to Zhu Youwen's sudden army appearing here.

No news made Li Hai feel uncomfortable.

Zhu Youwen knew him. There were quite a few people like Li Hai who recognized him. But now, he couldn't move and didn't dare to leave the camp at all.

At noon on the third day, Pei Yuanqing finally brought the news back.

"It's Qianniu Guard." Pei Yuanqing said: "The Qianniu Guard has more than 5,000 troops coming towards Le'an. They avoided Weizhou City and wanted to take Le'an and then head towards Luzhou."

"How could Qianniuwei appear here?"

"I heard that Qianniu Guards were escorting General Li Ze's wife, son, and mother to Wuweijie Town, and Xuanwu wanted to intercept them." Pei Yuanqing said: "I just sent military orders today. At most tomorrow, Qianniu Guards will arrive in Le'an."

Li Hai nodded slightly. Compared with Weizhou City, Le'an is naturally much easier to play. The low city wall here does not help the defense. But after breaking through Le'an, Weizhou City became a decoration.

"The Qianniu Guard was trained by Wuwei generals. It has a strong combat power. I know that even the Yuan Cong Guard of General Qin could not beat them. Pei Yuanqing, this is our opportunity." A hint of joy flashed in Li Hai's eyes. "Zhu Youwen must use the city wall to form a three-dimensional defensive area here, defend and attack, and fight the Qianniu Guard at the city. Will you be sent out of the city?"

Pei Yuanqing shook his head: "How can we win their trust? This time, those who went out of the city were all the main force brought by Zhu Youwen."

"It's great." Li Hai said. "Tell my brothers, we will fight to the death."

"Does the brothers outside the city still notify?"
