"Don't worry, leave this matter to me, I will send the main force to Xining immediately!"
After understanding what Li Qiufan meant, Li Yunlong immediately patted his chest and said.
Then Li Yunlong returned to the army and arranged for a division to break away from the main army and rush to Xining.
Since Li Qiufan wasted no time, Qingma had not yet received the news that Lanzhou City had been captured, and was still trying to find a way to break through the four vertical lines of defense in Honggu.
After Li Qiufan led his troops for nearly two days, they finally arrived at Honggu and reunited with the Four Columns.
"Xiping, what's going on now?"
After meeting Li Xiping, Li Qiufan asked him about the current situation.
"Qingma's troops attack our defense line every day. Fortunately, our brothers blocked it and didn't let a single horse pass!"
Li Xiping talked about the situation he faced these days, and then pointed to his soldiers very proudly.
"Well done!"
Li Qiufan nodded towards Li Xiping, he was very satisfied with the performance of the four verticals.
"Commander, should we fight back?"
"I've been so suffocated these days, I really want to pull those idiots off their horses!"
Li Xiping looked at Li Qiufan expectantly, he couldn't wait to counterattack.
"Don't be anxious, you have to plan carefully if you want to take down these horse bandits!"
"After all, they are riding horses, we can't catch up with them on two legs!"
Li Qiufan shook his head at Li Xiping, and then asked someone to bring the map over.
"Erhu, you immediately set off with Yizong, go to Wangjiakou in the northwest of Honggu Town, and pack your bags there!"
"I will drive all these horses into my pocket when the time comes, and you have to hold it for me!"
After looking at the map, Li Qiufan immediately noticed the place Wangjiakou.
This is the only way for the Qingma troops to retreat, and it is very suitable for setting up pocket formations. Then Li Qiufan decided to see Qingma off at this place.
"Okay, I'll leave now!"
After receiving the order, Erhu agreed and led the troops towards Wangjiakou.
"Old Li, fill up your three vertical lines on all defense lines, and wait for my order to get ready to chase rabbits!"
After arranging the first column, Li Qiufan made arrangements for Li Yunlong's third column and merged it with the fourth column, ready to launch a counterattack at any time.
But this time God was not on Li Qiufan's side. Yi Zong sent a telegram to Li Qiufan more than half an hour after setting off, and their whereabouts were discovered by the Qingma Scouts.
Li Qiufan frowned after receiving the news. He might not be able to retain Qingma's troops if he alerted the enemy.
"Inform Yizong to launch an attack directly on him, and we will keep as many as we can!"
"Also tell the third and fourth columns to pursue Qingma's troops immediately!"
At this point, there was no other way. Now we could only keep as many as we could, so Li Qiufan immediately issued an order to the three columns.
After receiving the order, Erhu immediately led a column of troops towards Qingma to launch an attack.
Sensing the strong fighting power of the first column, coupled with concerns about the fourth column, Qingma's troops immediately began to run away.
Because the opponent was prepared, Erhu and his troops only left more than 4,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 people managed to escape.
After the battle, Li Qiufan arrived belatedly with the third and fourth columns.
Knowing that more than 20,000 people from the other side had escaped, Li Qiufan immediately gave Er Hu a kick.
"Damn stupid tiger! How could you be found out like this!"
Li Qiufan cursed at Erhu angrily, and Li Yunlong and Li Xiping on the side quickly pulled him back.
"I have been marching in secret with my troops. Who would have thought that I would encounter such a street kid and bump into us directly!"
Speaking of which, Erhu also looked aggrieved. This was just a coincidence.
At that time, Erhu and Yi Zong were rushing to Wangjiakou in a circle. Unexpectedly, they met a green horse cavalry who came out to have fun. Even if he was killed, he would not have expected that the other party would come so far to walk his horse.
After the opponent discovered the first column of troops, they immediately rode away towards the camp.
After our soldiers saw this, they fired several shots at the cavalryman, but they all missed.
Fortunately, Erhu guessed what Li Qiufan was thinking, and when he sent a telegram to notify him of the exposure, he led a column and attacked the camp of the Qingma troops, leaving more than 4,000 people behind.
"I'll deal with you after the war is over!"
Li Qiufan also knew that Er Hu could not be blamed for this, but letting Qing Ma run away really gave him a headache, so he could only vent his anger on Er Hu.
"Order, one column is the vanguard, and the entire army marches toward the east of the sea. Hurry!"
After venting his anger, Li Qiufan immediately issued an order and the entire army marched towards Haidong.
Now I can only pray that the other party fled to Haidong instead of returning directly to Xining.
If they return directly to Xining, the division sent to attack Xining will be useless, and they will have to fight a tough battle.
Under Li Qiufan's order, the three columns began a rapid march towards Haidong.
Because he made a mistake, Erhu ran desperately with the first column, and directly distanced himself from the second and third column behind him.
"Damn it, what tricks is this stupid tiger playing!"
Li Qiufan frowned and said as he watched the line of troops getting further and further away.
"Maybe I was kicked by you just now, big brother, so I want to rush to Haidong to regain my face!"
But Heizi understood why Erhu was like this. He looked at the team and smiled and said to Li Qiufan.
"This Tiehanhan!"
After hearing Heizi's words, Li Qiufan shook his head helplessly.
After a desperate march, Yizong took the lead in arriving at Haidong.
Seeing the defense line set up by the Qingma troops in Haidong, Erhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's his grandma's fault. Fortunately he didn't run back to Xining, otherwise the commander would have had to deal with me when he got back!"
Erhu looked at the enemy's defense line and muttered to himself, and then called the correspondent.
"Immediately report to the commander that the enemy troops have retreated to Haidong and have not returned to Xining!"
After the correspondent came to his side, Erhu immediately asked him to report the news to Li Qiufan.
Li Qiufan also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news reported by Erhu. He was fortunate that the enemy troops did not return directly to Xining.
If the opponent returns directly to Xining, and the division sent out cannot capture Xining and cut off the enemy's retreat, then the trouble will be big.
When the time comes, Qingma's troops will defend Xining, and they will have a way out even if they cannot hold on.
Once these cavalry are allowed to escape, there will probably never be peace on the border in the future.
"All troops, speed up! We can't let those idiots run away again this time!"
Li Qiufan shouted to the surroundings, and then the troops speeded up again and headed straight towards Haidong.
