Chapter 704: Steady victory
Not only had Hu Xiaoyuan been captured, but even the coalition forces on the side of Volcano Castle had been completely defeated. Yang Rong escaped, and Li Zhengqin and Li Cunxiao died on the spot.
"We won again!" An Xuan was inexplicably excited. Since joining Li Dachui, his victories have come one after another. He has forgotten what it feels like to lose.
"We're not finished here yet!" Ma Dacheng, who was equally excited, was even more cautious in his joy: "Whether it is Tiger Roar Plains or Volcano Castle, they can only be regarded as partial troops. Our place is the main battlefield. Although the partial division has won, if we lose the main battlefield here, we won’t be considered a winner in terms of the general ledger!”
"Is it possible for them to win against us?" Ma Liang came over and said, "I guess they will receive the same news soon. I'm afraid their morale will fall to the lowest point immediately. Are they still in the mood to fight us? If Gu Xiaoman on the Tiger Roar Plains marches down, the hinterland including Boling County City will be in danger!”
"The other party will fight to the death!" Ma Dacheng supported the wall and looked at the endless enemy camps in the distance. He said: "After receiving the news, it is not a problem to hide it for a while. As long as we can capture Yangguan, At least it is a balance of power, and we can even use Yangguan to regain control of Huxiaoyuan, so in the next battle, we will definitely face the biggest test since the war started!"
"We have been fighting for these days, but we haven't let them take advantage of it. It only takes two days to get here from the Volcano Castle. Do they dare to take this risk? They are blocked by Xiao Du, and they can't even escape! Ma Liang said.
"Li Guohua will not take this risk!" Ma Dacheng said with certainty: "But Cui Ming will certainly do it. If he cannot take Yangguan and loses Huxiaoyuan, then Boling County will definitely not be protected. For Li Guohua, Boling County It’s just a border state, so it’s not important, but to the Cui family, it’s their wealth and life.”
Ma Liang suddenly realized: "That's the truth, father, I'm not worried about their armored men, but Cui Ming will definitely have to fight hard. If an innate master leads his team to attack the city, the pressure we face will be great!"
"I'll carry it!" An Xuan raised the mace in his hand.
"You can't handle it!" A voice suddenly came from their ears. Several people turned around in surprise, only to see an old man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat standing behind them at some point.
"City Lord?!" Several people were surprised and happy.
"Didn't I say it would take two days for you to arrive?"
"As soon as I received the news of the war here, I came back in a hurry!" Zhou Zhi said: "This kid Li Dachui is so capable of causing trouble. One thing after another, no one has a chance to breathe!"
These words sounded like he was complaining about Li Dachui, but his tone sounded like the breath of Versailles. Coupled with the smug look on his face, it was clear what Zhou Zhi was thinking.
As soon as Zhou Zhi arrived, Ma Dacheng's last little worry disappeared.
"City Lord Zhou, why didn't Duke Chang and the others come? If they had come, our innate masters could have beaten Cui Ming in a group!"
"Pasiba's ideas are different from those of Yiming and Chang Jian." Zhou Zhidao: "The more these people discuss, the greater their differences become, and they can't extricate themselves from arguing with each other!"
"Then you didn't fall into it?"
"Compared with the great cause of Sledgehammer, traveling as a god is nothing!" Zhou Zhi waved his hand: "I gain luck, but lose my life. Besides, what will happen if I enter the realm of traveling as a god?"
Speaking of this, his expression suddenly became melancholy. Wasn't He Qingqiu in the state of fugue back then? But once the situation is over, he will eventually die at the hands of a villain.
"Once the city lord comes, we have the means to resist the opponent's highest force, so our tactics will change a lot!" Ma Dacheng said excitedly: "General An, I think after the war breaks out, you and your subordinates will stay in the pass. I’m so frustrated, why don’t I go out of the city and give them a hard blow?”
An Xuan laughed: "That's what I meant."
"Okay, you pick three thousand riders." Ma Dacheng said. "Based on my understanding of this guy Li Guohua, after knowing that Hu Xiaoyuan was lost, he would definitely think of retreating. If Cui Ming refused, this guy would abandon Cui Ming. So General An Xuan, don't go out this time. Our goal in attacking Li Guohua's troops is to deal with Cui Ming! "You mean that Li Guohua will die?"
"He might even have used Cui Ming's troops as a cover for his safe escape!" Ma Dacheng said.
"I understand!"
"Dad, I want to go too!" Ma Liang said from the side, "In the pass, there are not many people who are better at riding and fighting than me!"
Ma Dacheng hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
Going out to fight is naturally much more dangerous than defending the city, but if the young eagle does not experience wind and rain, it will never grow into a condor soaring in the sky.
Danger always goes hand in hand with opportunity.
Moreover, in such a must-win battle, with my son's ability, there should be no problem in improving his grades.
"They will probably receive the news tonight, and then Cui Ming and Li Guohua will have a dispute over whether to fight for the last time or retreat, so tonight should be fine. We have plenty of time to make arrangements and give them a good surprise. !" Ma Dachengdao.
"I'll pick someone up!" An Xuan picked up the mace and turned to go down to the city.
"I'll go see my good grandson first, and then have a good sleep!" Zhou Zhi waved his hand and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

The entire Yangguan looked the same as it had in the past few days, except that under the cover of darkness, countless people were busy preparing.
Tomorrow will be the decisive day.
Lu You carefully wiped the armor on his body. His body was fat and he couldn't wear standard armor. He didn't wear armor at all before. Later, the official became bigger and bigger, and his money became more and more abundant, so he went to Tai'an Cheng found someone to specially customize the armor. In the following days, this armor was full of scars, but it also helped him block a lot of damage.
After this battle is over, take it back to Tai'an City to see if it can be repaired. If you can't repair it, take it home and donate it, and then customize a new set.
After taking over Boling County, it will be considered as the official march into Guannei. Fatty has never been to Guannei, he only knows that it is a rich place. When I was a horse thief in the past, I could occasionally steal items from the customs, such as porcelain, silk, etc., and everything dazzled the eyes of these country bumpkins. In Tai'an City, the prices of good things from the pass always make them, horse thieves, sigh. Even the songs sung in brothels are all spread from within the Pass, and upon hearing them, they sound better than those wild songs outside the Pass.
If you follow Li Duhu into the country and conquer the country, you might even be able to become a marquis or something like that in the future!
The fat man thought happily.
"Fat brother, get your stuff!" came the shouts from his men outside. Lu You clapped his hands and stood up, walking outside.
Tomorrow they will follow General An Xuan out of the city to fight. Lu You, a former horse bandit, is an excellent equestrian and is a master of the seventh level of Xuanyuan, so he will naturally be among those to attack.
