Chapter 125 The shocking giant melon
"Boss, it's getting dark now. It will be dark soon."
"I just quietly went out to observe the situation and found that most of the government troops have returned to the city for dinner. Should we..."
As everyone waited anxiously, half an hour passed quietly. Tang Guangqiang walked in from the entrance of the dilapidated temple, came to Li Dingguo and whispered to him.
When the government troops launched a surprise attack on Dingbian City, it was already 1:00 ., which was dusk.
Now half an hour has passed, night begins to fall, and the shouting and screaming coming from inside and outside the city has basically disappeared.
Obviously, the outcome of the war has been decided since the elite cavalry of the government army launched a surprise attack on Dingbian City.
The border soldiers who had come from a long distance must have been exhausted, tired and hungry.
After the battle was basically over, they stopped chasing the remnants of the rebel army who were fleeing in all directions, and most of them returned to Dingbian City to eat, rest, and count the spoils.
"Hey!"
Li Dingguo thought of something and sighed bitterly, "I wonder if the king and Ai Nengqi and the others were lucky enough to escape from Cao Bianjiao's pursuit?"
He was sincerely grateful to the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong and didn't want anything to happen to him from the bottom of his heart.
This was his true thought, without any falsehood.
If nothing unexpected happened, Cao Wenzhao must have deployed more than a thousand elite ambushes outside the city, waiting for the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong to fall into his trap.
Knowing well that this was an open conspiracy, Zhang Xianzhong, the focal point of this rebel army, had no choice but to face the challenge and take the initiative to jump into the ambush set by Cao Wenzhao.
There was no way out. If the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong did not escape from Dingbian City as soon as possible after the city was broken, he would definitely be captured and killed.
There is still a glimmer of hope if you risk escaping from Dingbian City.
It is very likely that Cao Bianjiao has not yet withdrawn his troops back to the city, and is still persevering in hunting down the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong.
Li Dingguo knew very well that Zhang Xianzhong would not fall so easily.
It is very likely that he led the rebel leaders under his command, some soldiers from the old camp, as well as soldiers from the young camp such as Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu, to escape from Dingbian City.
But whether it was Cao Wenzhao or Cao Bianjiao, facing this great achievement so close at hand, neither of them would let it go easily.
Unless they lose the target, they will return to Dingbian City unwillingly.
In any case, Cao Wenzhao's vanguard army, which won the first battle, not only easily recaptured a county town, but also intercepted almost all the wealth and supplies that the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong had tried every means to collect, which was enough to report the achievement to Hong Chengchou.
Whether the Eighth King died or not this time was actually not important to Hong Chengchou and the government troops.
The key is to obtain a large amount of money, food and supplies that the eight kings had collected with great effort. For the border troops who are now short of food and clothing, this is a happy event for everyone!
The seizure of a large amount of wealth and supplies undoubtedly solved Hong Chengchou's biggest worry, and was enough for him to report his merits to Cao Wenzhao.
As for the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong, can he escape this time?
This big world is too mysterious, and Li Dingguo dare not guarantee whether the established history will not change.
Therefore, I cannot guarantee that Zhang Xianzhong will be able to escape this disaster.
After all, the elite border cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao and Cao Wenzhao were so powerful that it was suffocating!
"Hey……"
Hearing this, Tang Guangqiang sighed and said solemnly, "Your Majesty is blessed by heaven. He will definitely be able to escape from Dingbian City and avoid being hunted down by Cao Bianjiao."
He was not the only one sighing. The dozen or so young warriors here also had sad faces and remained silent.
"Aqiang!"
Li Dingguo interrupted the silence and ordered Tang Guangqiang, "Go out immediately and call back Cao Yongxiang and Liang Hetang."
"Now that night has fallen, most of the government soldiers have returned to the city and are eating and resting. We still need to count the huge amount of spoils tonight. We don't have the time and will not conduct a city-wide search."
"Now that night has fallen, it's a perfect opportunity for us to sneak out of Dingbian City!"
"If we miss tonight, those of us rebels hiding in the city will be in great danger!"
"Tomorrow morning, the government troops will undoubtedly conduct a city-wide search to capture any members of the rebel army that have escaped. It is unlikely that we will be able to escape."
Li Dingguo knew that the best opportunity to escape from Dingbian City had arrived and he had to act quickly.
"Okay, boss!"
When Tang Guangqiang heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly turned around and ran out of the dilapidated temple.
After just a moment, he walked in quickly with Cao Yongxiang and Liang Hetang.
"Let's act immediately and start sneaking out of the city!"
Li Dingguo said solemnly to everyone, "During the entire operation, no one is allowed to speak or make too much noise!"
"If anyone dares to be careless, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"You must follow my steps closely, and at the same time, use all your strength to activate the Concealment Technique and the Breathing Technique. You cannot run around or leave the team without permission!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw everyone nodding, and then they all started to practice the breath-concealing and concealment techniques they had practiced, then turned around and led everyone out of the land temple.
"follow me!"
Before taking action, Li Dingguo had already planned the route for his escape.
After waving to the people behind him, he led everyone to quietly circle around the right side of the earthen ridge next to the land temple.
This land temple was not far from the East City Gate. After a while, Li Dingguo and his group sneaked to the bottom of the city wall about a mile away from the city gate. This place is remote, overgrown with weeds, no trace of people, and it is pitch black.
The elite cavalry of the government army that came on a long-distance attack had a small number of soldiers to begin with, and after their successful surprise attack on the rebel army in Dingbian City, they were busy with many things to do. They could not spare enough people to patrol the city walls tonight.
"go!"
Li Dingguo gestured to everyone, leaped up, and quietly came to the top of the city wall which was only a few feet high. Then, without stopping for a moment, he jumped outside the city wall.
"Whoosh..."
As soon as he landed on the ground, the eighteen young warriors behind him climbed over the city wall and came out of the city.
"quick!"
"Come with me!"
Seeing that all the team members had gathered around him, Li Dingguo whispered something to everyone, and then he used the Yunlong Nine Turns Technique and leaped straight towards a nearby wilderness with sparse weeds and trees!
“Swoosh!”…
All members of this team have practiced the Yunlong Nine Turns Technique, and after more than twenty days of practice, they have at least reached a proficient level.
One by one, they displayed their skills and followed Li Dingguo at a very fast and silent speed.
After just a dozen breaths, everyone disappeared into the wilderness at night...
……
About half an hour later, Li Dingguo and his party, who had been hiding their tracks all the way and running non-stop, arrived at the edge of a remote mountain area.
"Our destination has arrived."
Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief and said to his friends, "Are you curious? Why did Cao Yongxiang and I bring everyone here?"
"Some things are time to tell everyone."
He said to Tang Guangqiang, Huang Zhanglong, Liang Hetang and others who were looking at him curiously, "Didn't I go out of the city often in the past few days?"
"It's not for anything else, it's just to take care of Xiao Douya and the others."
"The purpose is to allow them to escape danger if they encounter a dangerous situation like today, so as to avoid being killed by the rebel army and continue to survive."
"Later, by some coincidence, Cao Yongxiang and I discovered that deep in the mountains, there was a valley with an excellent living environment and great secrecy."
"Then I brought Xiao Douya and the others here to settle down and live to ensure their safety."
"In order to give them some self-defense power, I taught them the Tiger Roar Fist and found ways to get enough training resources. As a result, nine warriors soon emerged among Xiao Douya and her group."
"Neither Cao Yongxiang nor I thought that Xiao Douya and Hongmei were actually extremely gifted geniuses."
"Not only did they break through and become warriors in a short period of time, but their cultivation has also been advancing by leaps and bounds."
"I came here a few days ago and found that Hongmei and Xiaodouya had broken through to the early second level of martial arts."
"In order to gain enough strength to protect themselves, after seeking my consent, they have found ways to bring back thousands of orphans and beggars in Dingbian City over the past twenty days."
"After arriving here one after another, these people began to practice martial arts in batches and were selected as warriors."
"Among the first 1,500 people who practiced Tiger Roar Fist, more than 300 were selected through warrior training."
"Among them, there are thirty-three geniuses. The one with the highest cultivation has already reached the late first level of martial arts."
"I am also a little surprised that Hongmei and Xiaodouya are so capable. In less than a month, they have turned this small valley into a very good base."
"The secret survival base located deep in the mountains is now well managed by Hongmei and Xiaodouya. It is even more orderly than the rebel soldiers under the king!"
Li Dingguo had come here secretly several times in the past twenty days and was very familiar with the situation in this small valley.
Although he had long been aware of Hongmei's evil nature, he had never imagined that with the help of Xiao Douya, she would develop this new force so well.
"what……"
"This... This is simply unbelievable."...
Everyone at the scene, except Cao Yongxiang who had known the truth for a long time, including Tang Guangqiang, was stunned for a moment after Li Dingguo revealed this shocking news.
Everyone knows that Li Dingguo and Cao Yongxiang often leave the Wang family compound and may have caused some trouble, but they did not expect that the real situation was beyond their imagination.
There are actually thousands of people hiding in this inconspicuous mountain in front of us?
Among these thousands of people, all of them are like them, orphans, beggars, and young boys and girls.
Among them, there are already more than 300 young men who have passed the first batch of martial arts training selection, activated their own qi and blood power, and become warriors?
And these astonishing results are largely due to the two people they are very familiar with, Hongmei and Xiaodouya.
They looked at each other for a while, each of them was shocked and overjoyed.
Today, Dingbian City suffered a surprise attack from the government's elite cavalry, and their rebel army was wiped out.
Even if the king and his men can escape this time, they will have to start all over again.
These dozen or so young warriors had been separated from their original rebel team and were worrying about how they could survive in the future.
Now that Li Dingguo has made preparations in advance, so many orphans have gathered in this small valley, and there are quite a few warriors among them.
Even if you are separated from the king now, you don’t have to worry about whether you can survive in the future.
A moment later, these young warriors, their faces flushed with excitement, followed Li Dingguo and Cao Yongxiang excitedly, walking briskly along the winding mountain road towards the depths of the mountains...
