Time passed in boredom, and the atmosphere in Nanliang Mansion became more and more depressing. People were fleeing frantically. Although there were masters among the people, there were still more ordinary people; and these people were frightened by the artillery fire. In addition, Zhao Guoshan's previous despicable means made ordinary people fear him like snakes and scorpions.
Faced with this situation, Zhao Guoshan was powerless to stop it; the crazy and bloody suppression last night and Anyang's performance this morning had made the people of Nanliang Prefecture see through Zhao Guoshan's hypocrisy.
Zhao Guoshan was already annoyed enough, but at this moment, someone suddenly came up and said that there was something important to report.
"Sir Governor, I was sent by Xishan County Magistrate Wang Ziqiang. This morning, we saw Liu Leigang from Anyang leading more than 130 motorcycles to the seaside of Xishan County to receive a large amount of supplies. The supplies were transported by three large white ships. Now the three ships have not left, but are anchored at the seaside."
"What? They transported it from the sea? How is this possible!" Zhao Guoshan stood up in surprise.
Wen Cheng Li Yuanming narrowed his eyes, "What a great Anyang, they actually transported by sea! I finally understand why Anyang did not choose Zhongshan County, but chose our Luliang County! So that's it! So that's it! Sir, immediately send out elite troops and strictly order the coastal counties to send troops to cut off Anyang's supply line."
Guo Guibang also suddenly realized: "No wonder the traitor Zheng Yuezhong said the shells came from the seaside! How big is that ship?"
The visitor gave a rough description: it was about sixteen or seventeen zhang long, more than four zhang wide, white in color, and did not seem to be an ordinary wooden ship because its surface was smooth and had no seams.
Listening to this description, Li Yuanming narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that this big ship is made of iron?"
After being shocked, Zhao Guoshan calmed down. "No matter whether it is iron or not, Guo Guibang, Zhao Youdan, you immediately lead the elite troops to intercept Anyang's transport team along the way."
Li Yuanming, the Minister of Civil Affairs, made a supplementary suggestion: "Sir, let all the elite soldiers disguise themselves as ordinary refugees. In addition, since the three large ships of Anyang are anchored at the seaside and have not left, it means that the Anyang army will definitely have a second supply operation. Let the elite soldiers disguised as ordinary people follow Anyang's supply team, and when they are far away from Anyang's main force, look for an opportunity to annihilate them!"
Guo Guibang and Zhao Youdan immediately selected two thousand elite soldiers, changed into civilian clothes, and set off with only flying swords, some practical magic tools, and a large number of talismans. Among these elite soldiers, there were still more than two hundred junior masters in the foundation-building stage, and Guo Guibang himself was a master in the golden elixir stage. The rest were all elites above the seventh level of the Qi refining stage.
Guo Guibang and others wandered around the Anyang soldiers' base for a while, and sure enough, they saw Liu Leigang leading more than 130 empty motorcycles heading eastward.
“Follow me!”
More than 2,000 elite soldiers from Luliang County were scattered and advanced in a disorderly manner, like fleeing civilians. Relying on their familiarity with the local area, these soldiers sometimes hid, sometimes entered mountain villages and county towns to "visit relatives", sometimes disguised themselves as vendors, etc., and were actually far behind Liu Leigang and others.
Because almost everyone in the fairyland practices cultivation, even ordinary people carry weapons with them, so these soldiers also carry weapons openly.
