Chapter 220 Han Bai is missing
Coming out of the commander's camp, Cheng Hanbai was very angry, so he returned to the camp without explaining what happened, and asked Yu Lang to order a thousand soldiers and leave.While walking on the road, he told Shen Congxi and Yu Lang the whole story.

Shen Congxi shook his head and said: "We were too impulsive and we became a lone army. There is no deployment in the army. Once there is any trouble, we will be very passive. Forget it, there is no turning back. Let's talk about it in town."

Just as he was talking, a fast horse was chasing after him. Shen Congxi looked back and saw that it was Tie Long.

Tie Long was out of breath after running, and he said: "The young master asked me to tell you that General Wan said that you will be burned to ashes and floated out!"

Shen Congxi thought about it, and asked Han Bai: "How many guards did you bring out from the Northern Zhili Guards? How many of them are the Cheng family's own soldiers?"

"10 people from the Zhili Guards came, and the personal soldiers...1000 people!" Han Bai was shocked. All the personal soldiers had been brought out. Wan Qing really wanted to drive him out and kill him!

These soldiers are the Cheng family army trained by Yu Lang himself. They only obey orders from Cheng Hanbai. If they stay in the army and something happens to Cheng Hanbai, they will definitely rebel. If the court pursues them, they may not be able to do anything.The best way is to let them die together with Cheng Hanbai.

"Tie Long, we will leave an information point in the town and ask two young guards to go back with you. They will be responsible for passing information between us in the future. Let your young master be more careful. Wan Qing and Zhang Heng are ruthless. Don't show any flaws." Shen Congxi said slowly.

"Our son said that the military master must have a solution!" Tie Long smiled and said: "Your master took people to post the notice, and gave the refugees [-] days to evacuate, and there is not much time left for you."

Cheng Hanbai called two soldiers and wrote a handwritten letter, telling them to go back and find Yang Yong Yunyun.After explaining, the two of them followed Tie Long back.This time, three generals came from the North Zhili Guard. One was the guard commander Cheng Hanbai, the second was the commander Yu Lang, and the third was the commander Yang Yong.

Cheng Hanbai smiled and said: "He Jian and Yang Yong are meeting at the military camp, and I am not alone anymore. Let's go into the mountains to meet Fang Junbao!" Shen Congxi shook his head with a smile: This is fierce Zhang Fei!
When they arrived in the town, they were not in a hurry to go into the mountains. Cheng Dan went to a few local people to ask about the situation in the mountains. Seeing that there was money to take, three of them volunteered to be guides.Cheng Shuang took a few people to prepare dry food.Shen Congxi sent a letter to the capital.

The next day, they left two soldiers behind in the post house to support them, while the rest followed the three guides into the mountain.Three guides were placed at the front, middle and back of the team to prevent anyone from deliberately pointing in the wrong direction.

It is still spring, and the mountains are very humid and very cold.After walking for a day, the guide led them to find an open space against the mountain to rest.

"How far is it from where they are entrenched?" Cheng Hanbai asked the guide in front of him.

"It's not far away, and we have to go over two mountains to reach the Savage Ridge. This was their home base before. Later, they became kings and pulled the team out of the mountains." The guide squatted on the ground and said: "Master, sir, I can't go any further. If they know that I led you the way, they will have to kill my whole family."

"Stop making noise! ​​After we kill those thieves, who will kill your whole family again? If you are not honest, I will kill your whole family first!" Yu Lang cursed and kicked his ass.

After a while, another soldier came to report what the other two guides had said.One of them also said that this is Lee Locust Ridge.They all unanimously pointed out that it is only two mountains away from Savage Ridge.

"Okay! Rest here tonight and set off at dawn tomorrow morning!" Cheng Hanbai quickly gave the order.

Shen Congxi always felt that their journey was too smooth, and even this Savage Ridge was so coincidentally located on the only road through the Jingxiang Mountains.Shen Congxi quietly said to Yu Lang: "Keep an eye on those guides and don't let them play any tricks." Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the three guides all wanted to sneak away.He was caught red-handed by the soldiers!

"That's it!" Shen Congxi said hurriedly: "Ask who sent them? What is their purpose? Ask them separately, don't let them collude in confession!"

"No need to ask, take them out of here first!" Cheng Hanbai commanded decisively: "Tell all soldiers to put on their armbands and retreat to open areas and retreat to the road!"

As soon as they retreated to the road, cluster rockets roared towards them.This was an open area, and the team quickly dispersed to avoid firearm attacks.If they were still in the clearing behind the mountain just now, the place was small and there was no way to hide, they would probably be burned to ashes.

"Why do you need to ask? How can rogue bandits be so smart? We ourselves have these weapons." Cheng Hanbai sneered. When he asked everyone to tie their armbands, he had already concluded in his heart that the people coming were not rebels, but were wearing the same clothes as them. Clothes removal troops.

The Rockets also exposed the direction of these "own people".Cheng Hanbai was furious, gritted his teeth, raised his gun, and rushed towards the rocket and fire. Yu Lang hurriedly asked the rocket man to cover Cheng Hanbai.He, Cheng Dan, and Cheng Shuang also followed quickly.

The rocket illuminated the target, Cheng Hanbai flicked his spear, picked out several musketeers one after another, and cursed: "A group of blind people, look who you are shooting! Who taught you to point your guns at the Celestial Army? "When people approached, the firecrackers and rockets were all dumb, how could Cheng Hanbai's opponent be compared with swords?
Cheng Hanbai was eager to kill and rushed forward, but unexpectedly, he was gradually surrounded.Just as Yu Lang was about to rush over, a group of people rushed out from the shadows, deliberately separating Yu Lang, Cheng Dan, and Cheng Shuang behind from Cheng Hanbai in front.

"Major General! Get back quickly!" Yu Lang saw that he couldn't rush through, so he had to shout anxiously to remind Cheng Hanbai.

Cheng Hanbai heard Yu Lang's shout, and when he looked again, he saw that the group of firearmsmen had retreated to the edge of the cliff.The sergeants standing in front of Cheng Hanbai suddenly knelt down and shouted: "General Cheng! Spare your life!" Hearing his name begging for mercy, Cheng Hanbai couldn't help but stop.

When he stopped, a sergeant standing behind him suddenly stabbed the horse's butt hard with his sword. The horse was frightened and rushed forward. It didn't stop even when it reached the edge of the cliff. Even the man and the horse rushed down. cliff.

"Major General!" Yu Lang abandoned his gun, jumped off his horse, and slashed at him with his machete.The soldiers behind also rushed up and killed all the sergeants on the cliff.

Immediately, Tan Bang stood in the darkness, ordered someone to release the signal to withdraw troops, and then retreated from the shadow of the tree first.

Yu Lang and the others did not give chase. They ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down. It was dark below and they couldn't see anything. They shouted "Young General" several times, but there was no reply.
Shen Congxi who rushed over was shocked, and quickly grabbed Yu Lang who was about to grab the ground with his head, and said: "Go around to the bottom of the cliff. There are many trees in the valley. You may get stuck, but you may not lose your life!"

Yu Lang and others quickly led a group of people and found a way around to the bottom of the cliff.The guide who had been being carried away hurriedly said, "I know the road! I'll take you down, but just leave me alive!" Sure enough, the guide was familiar with the road, and after walking not far, he saw a narrow path going down the cliff.

The trail was not easy to walk, so Yu Lang and the others lit torches, and it took an hour or two to get around to the bottom of the cliff.They searched all the way again. The area illuminated by the torch was not very large. There were many thorns and bushes under the cliff. They stepped on the thorns and passed by. Shen Congxi was on the cliff and they held the torch to locate them. They walked back and forth in the general direction several times.

But until dawn, Cheng Hanbai was nowhere to be seen, including his people and horses.
