Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 360: First Battle with the Jin Army at Nanhe Station (Part )

Ever since Yuan Yanxi split up his forces with Feng Boshan, he has been urging his subordinates to hurry up, wishing they could reach Anping County right away.

But the rebels in Jinzhou were not a mob. Although their weapons and equipment were better than those of the mob, their logistical supplies were far greater, so they could not march too fast.

Yuan Yanxi was in a hurry to travel, so he ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates and led 9,000 people on a quick journey with light equipment, but left the baggage behind.

After a rapid march of more than a hundred miles, Yuan Yanxi finally arrived at Nanheyi Town, an important border between Nanyuan County and Anping County, in the evening.

However, the Nanhe Station, which was once prosperous, was now deserted.

Yuan Yanxi had passed by Nanhe Posthouse several times in the past few years, so he naturally knew that this was an important cargo transfer station for the Liu family, and he couldn't help but say excitedly:

"Ma Datong! There are many transit warehouses of the Liu family here! We have been traveling very fast. No matter how much the Liu family transports their wealth, they cannot transport all of it away! Ask your people to search carefully. Maybe you can make a fortune!"

Ma Datong is the division commander assigned to Yuan Yanxi.

However, this person is not a direct descendant of the Yuan Yan family, but a peripheral personnel bribed by the Yuan Yan family. He was originally the commander of a county brigade in Jinzhou.

Later, Emperor Gu Huairen ordered local military expansion, and he was naturally promoted from brigade commander to division commander.

However, although Gu Huairen ordered the expansion of the army, he himself refused to spend a penny, and left all the weapons, supplies and personnel to be prepared by the local governments themselves.

Zhou Datong's county brigade was able to expand into a county division, all thanks to the funding from the Yuan Yan family.

However, Zhou Datong was not a direct descendant of the Yuan Yan family, so the funding he received was very limited. Therefore, his division only had 15,000 people, and whether in terms of armor or the quality of the soldiers, they were still far behind the direct descendants of the Yuan Yan family.

When Ma Datong heard that there was money to be made, his eyes lit up immediately and he said happily:

"Really! That's great! Ma Datong thanks His Highness the Third Prince for his training! From now on, I, Ma Datong, will definitely follow His Highness the Third Prince's lead!"

Yuan Yanxi smiled proudly and said:

"As long as you follow me, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous! As long as we conquer Anping County and destroy the Liu family, all the money and food of the Liu family will be ours!"

"When we have money and food, we can recruit soldiers and build our own army! It won't be long before you, Ma Datong, can become the commander of the army, and you won't have to act according to Feng Boshan's mood!"

Ma Datong expressed his loyalty again:

"I, Ma Datong, am a rough man. As long as the Third Prince is willing to be my backer, I, Ma Datong, will go through fire and water for the Third Prince!"

The Jinzhou rebels poured into the long-deserted Nanhe Post and began their cause of making a fortune.

Doors were kicked open, rooms were turned upside down, and from time to time someone would shout with joy:

"Hahahaha! I'm rich! I'm rich! There are so many silks here!"

"Ah! Yan Nan Shao! So much Yan Nan Shao! Now I can drink to my heart's content!"

"Hiss! Is this where the Liu family keeps their money? There must be several thousand taels of silver here! Hahahaha! I'm really going to make a fortune now!"

"What bad luck! They are just some scraps of paper! I am not a scholar, what use do I have for these scraps! But! I heard that this paper is worth some money, so take a look at it first and sell it for some money later! It's better to have something than nothing!"

For a moment, the entire Nanheyi Town was in chaos.

Just as the Jinzhou rebels were immersed in the joy of getting rich, they were completely unaware that a group of soldiers outside the town were slowly approaching them.

"Listen carefully! This is our first battle since the young master took over! You must show your face to me. We can't let those little bastards in the Yunhu Camp look down on us!"

Qin Cheng held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, and whispered to the squad leaders under him.

"Although half of the current Yunhu Battalion are our descendants, it is indeed an honor for us old guys! But we must also let those little bastards understand! Who is the ceiling of the Liu family's military strength!"

"Look at how capable they are! They just followed the young master to the Northern Wilderness and fought a few battles in Liangzhou and the civil unrest in their hometown, and they think they are the best fighters! And they even rebelled against them!"

"Tonight! We have eight hundred men, without riding horses, and we can defeat the Jinzhou rebels just by fighting on foot!"

"Listen to my command! I'll kill them all!"

All the officers roared in unison:

"Tiger Guards, march forward bravely! If there is no enemy, I will die with no regrets!"

Just as the night was growing darker, the Jinzhou rebels were feeling proud of having found a large amount of treasure and were starting to cook when a whistling arrow pierced the night sky with a piercing buzzing sound!
