The army was defeated like a mountain, and the three thieves were focused on running away, no longer caring whether there was anyone chasing them behind them.
Seeing that the cavalry of Pegasus Ranch were chasing the defeated soldiers, they could escape with more confidence as the defeated soldiers attracted their attention.
They all have martial arts skills, and their natural speed is astonishing. He soon left the battlefield, entered the town, and headed towards Cao Yinglong's location.
Zhao Mingyuan naturally followed closely and chased them alone.
Although the defeated troops were running around everywhere, the only one who was following them in the same direction was Zhao Mingyuan, so naturally he was easily discovered by these three bandits.
Just seeing this scene, they ran away faster and faster, using their Qinggong with all their strength to escape deeper into the town.
Xiang Batian, Fang Jianding, and Mao Zao were all innate masters. They jumped onto the rooftops along the street and flew away.
As for the few confidants who followed them, they did not have such light skills and could only follow them on the street.
However, they already knew in their hearts that they had been abandoned by the three major bandits.
With their martial arts skills, how could they possibly outrun Zhao Mingyuan?
In fact, they were caught up and killed one by one by Zhao Mingyuan before they ran very far.
But Xiang Batian, Fang Jianding and Mao Zao didn't even dare to take a second look, for fear of wasting time and being caught up by Zhao Mingyuan.
Maybe the three of them were cursing secretly in their hearts, they couldn't even delay it for a little longer, what a waste!
After dealing with these villains who helped the tyranny, Zhao Mingyuan did not stop for a moment, and then went on to hunt down the three major bandits.
Seeing Zhao Mingyuan getting closer and closer to them, the three major bandits did not dare to run away from each other.
Although they knew that if they escaped separately, Zhao Mingyuan could only chase one person, and the other two people might be able to escape with their lives.
However, none of the three of them dared to bet whether they were the unlucky guy being chased by Zhao Mingyuan, and none of them was willing to use their own lives to create a way out for the other two.
As a result, these three people hugged tightly, hoping that the three of them might be able to resist Zhao Mingyuan together.
Of course, the biggest hope in their hearts is that they can reunite with Cao Yinglong, and perhaps be able to surround Zhao Mingyuan with Cao Yinglong's people.
After all, Cao Yinglong had 30,000 soldiers and horses. If the four of them joined forces to contain Zhao Mingyuan, they might really be able to kill Zhao Mingyuan.
And Zhao Mingyuan also wanted the three of them to lead the way to find Cao Yinglong's troops.
Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan just followed the three of them unhurriedly, putting pressure on them, but did not make them despair, he just kept hanging behind them.
Perhaps the three of them have also seen Zhao Mingyuan's plan, but they have no other choice.
Their only way to survive is to drag Cao Yinglong into the water and deal with Zhao Mingyuan together.
Soon they came to the other side of the town, where they were about to leave the town.
Xiang Batian, Fang Jianding, and Mao Zao ducked into an ordinary small courtyard.
Zhao Mingyuan realized that he might have reached his destination. After a brief look around, he found that there were indeed many people hiding in nearby houses, and these people all had good skills.
It seems that Cao Yinglong has brought many good men to hide in the town. As for the other people, they must be hiding outside the town and waiting for orders!
After all, Cao Yinglong had 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and it was impossible to hide them completely in the town.
However, although Xiang Batian, Fang Jianding, and Mao Zao successfully found Cao Yinglong and were temporarily out of danger, they were all very angry.
After all, they discovered that Cao Yinglong was still here, unchanged from before they left.
This showed that Cao Yinglong had no intention of supporting them, nor did he take any action.
Didn't Cao Yinglong receive the news? What happened to the person who delivered the message?
No, this is not possible.
All three of them sent people to deliver the message, how could it be possible that no one delivered it?
Could it be that Pegasus Ranch specifically blocked the news?
Even if Pegasus Ranch really blocked the news, it was only a town away after all.
Tens of thousands of people fought there, and the shouts of death were loud. It's just a few miles away, you can hear it.
Could it be that Cao Yinglong didn't send anyone to investigate? Could it be that he didn't know what happened?
This is impossible. This must be Cao Yinglong's deliberate act.
Soon, the three of them understood why Cao Yinglong did what he did.
Obviously, Cao Yinglong wanted to maintain his position among the four major bandits.
Although the four major bandits are equally famous, they often cooperate in plundering together. But they only came together because of their interests. If they said there was any friendship between them, they themselves would not believe it.
It was only because they joined forces that they could deal with forces like Pegasus Ranch and Domination Villa, and gain more benefits, so they gradually came together.
Although they work together, it doesn't mean that there is no conflict of interest. They usually do a lot of things that secretly set each other off.
The interactions between these thieves and bandits are naturally based on strength and interests.
Cao Yinglong was the strongest and most skilled in martial arts. He had 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command. He was the strongest among the four major bandits.
Therefore, Cao Yinglong became the leader of the four bandits and the boss among them.
The three of them have varying numbers of soldiers and horses, but they all number between 10,000 and 20,000.
The three men's troops together were naturally more than Cao Yinglong's troops.
Therefore, although Cao Yinglong was the boss of the four major bandits, he could not talk to each other, and all matters were discussed.
And the three of them also have a tacit understanding secretly, uniting with each other to fight against the strongest Cao Yinglong.
Therefore, the three of them usually get closer.
Although they usually stumbled secretly, they didn't expect that Cao Yinglong was really too blatant this time and actually sat back and watched their entire army being annihilated.
It’s just that the matter has come to this. All the three of them have now been destroyed. Under the pursuit of the Pegasus Ranch cavalry, who knows how many people can escape?
Even if someone escaped, they would run everywhere and it would be difficult for them to gather them.
From now on, there is a huge gap in strength between the three of them and Cao Yinglong, so I am afraid they will have to completely rely on Cao Yinglong and take his orders.
Thinking of this, the three people quickly thought that the current situation was exactly when Cao Yinglong was needed.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Of course they understand this very well.
Immediately, the three of them saluted Cao Yinglong together, with a much more respectful attitude than before.
He said: "If Brother Cao can avenge us and kill Zhao Mingyuan, then our brothers will follow Brother Cao's lead and never regret it!"
Seeing that the three people across from him finally lowered their once high heads to him and no longer looked as unruly as they once were, Cao Yinglong was not as happy as he expected at all, and he only felt that his stomach was full of bitterness.
He didn't expect that things would reach this point.
With Cao Yinglong's cunning and cunning, how could he rely on his companions to deliver all the news? Naturally, he had already sent his confidants to find out the news.
In fact, he followed every move throughout the war.
At first, he received news that Pegasus Ranch seemed to have sensed the trap and did not enter the encirclement. Therefore, they showed up early and surrounded the cavalry at Pegasus Ranch.
Cao Yinglong was very happy after hearing the news.
This way, he could stay out of the action and watch Pegasus Ranch fight the other three bandits.
And he can reap the benefits of being a fisherman, and the spoils he can get will never be less than his share.
Soon after, he got the news that Zhao Mingyuan had defeated Xiang Batian's troops.
Cao Yinglong couldn't help being shocked. The news was too unbelievable.
Soon, Fang Jianding and Mao Zao also received news, asking him to raise troops to support him.
Only then did Cao Yinglong confirm the authenticity of the news and realized that this was definitely not something that the cavalry at Pegasus Ranch could do. It seemed that he had underestimated Zhao Mingyuan.
However, he could still accept these losses, after all, it was not his men who died.
Moreover, in order to deliver the news quickly, only the conclusion was passed down below, and he did not know the specific details. I only know that Pegasus Ranch defeated Xiang Batian's army, but I don't know how much the Pegasus Ranch's cavalry lost.
In Cao Yinglong's view, although there were only two thousand cavalry at Pegasus Ranch this time, they were all elite. It is not impossible to deal with these soldiers and horses, even if it is one against five, or even one against ten.
Therefore, Pegasus Ranch defeated Xiang Batian, and there was nothing unacceptable in his opinion.
However, what he thought in his mind was that Pegasus Ranch also suffered a lot of losses. Even if half of the people were killed or injured, it wouldn't be much worse.
Under this situation, the cavalry of Pegasus Ranch will definitely be unsustainable. Zhao Mingyuan will surely lead the remaining troops to leave the battlefield and return to Pegasus Ranch.
As for the possibility of Pegasus Ranch leading the remaining troops to continue to deal with Fang Jian Ding and Mao Zao, Cao Yinglong sneered at this.
He simply did not believe that Pegasus Ranch could deal with Xiang Batian's soldiers and horses with only two thousand cavalry without any major damage, and even go on to kill Fang Jianding and Mao Zao. horse.
How can this be?
Even if the people at Pegasus Ranch are really crazy and use the remaining remnants to fight to the death against Fang Jidian and Mao Zao, they are just seeking their own death and there is no need for him to send troops to support them.
Even, in Cao Yinglong's view, that was better. They both lose, so only he is the final winner.
As for their request for help, Cao Yinglong believed that they were just venting their dissatisfaction and thinking of ways to reduce losses.
Besides, to say the least, if the cavalry of Pegasus Ranch were as invincible as they described, then he would not be able to go.
If you go there, wouldn’t it mean that you are going to die?
It's better to leave it to be useful and check the situation here!
Anyway, if you have more of yourself, it won't be much, and if you have less of yourself, it won't be much. It won't affect the overall situation.
However, after seeing the current results, Cao Yinglong realized that he had indeed made a mistake.
But, everything was too late.
Seeing Zhao Mingyuan stepping into the small courtyard, Cao Yinglong's heart couldn't help but sink.
