Chapter 451: Evacuated the battlefield in advance
There is no need to dwell on the falsehood of the alliance at this moment. What is important now is to ensure the survival of yourself and those around you.
Jinqianhu was surrounded by his own men, his face full of fear.
Since the beginning of the battle, he had been frightened by the momentum of Lanming Mountains. He wanted to escape, but was afraid that Mingyao and Tiegun would take revenge on him.
However, now that Mingyao has fled alone without caring about his companions, Jinqianhu is no longer afraid. He plans to retreat with his trusted followers, and the other brothers will serve as cannon fodder.
After all, money talks, and there will always be ways to recruit again in the future.
Jinqianhu quickly gave instructions to his trusted associates and fled westward.
Tie Ge, who was in the fierce duel, saw the leopard fleeing in panic. He felt desolate in his heart and blamed himself for trusting the villain and forming this useless alliance.
Now, betrayal and breach of trust are intertwined, and he can only bear it silently. Since fate does not leave him a glimmer of hope, he cannot go against it.
Tie Ge threw away the weapon in his hand, gave up resistance, and closed his eyes in despair.
At this moment, what he owed most were the brothers who had shared life and death with him, but now it was too late to turn the situation around. This apology could only be repaid in the next life.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened in the crisis. Several of Jiamenshan's men beside him suddenly shouted, "Run! Someone is coming from the government office!"
Tie Ge's eyes trembled suddenly, and he saw from afar a group of soldiers and horses holding the government flags galloping towards them, with murderous aura.
The people from the three major gangs knew what it meant to be captured by the government.
Now the imperial city is in a state of panic. They have been evading searches these days. Being caught means they will most likely be executed in secret. The First Emperor will not tolerate any hidden dangers that threaten the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
Seeing this, there was no point in continuing the fight. No matter which side won, they would be quickly captured by the authorities that followed.
Now, staying alive is their top priority.
Following the warnings from the first few people, the nerves of the rest of the people on the battlefield became tense, but no one dared to move without the leader's order.
Tie Ge suddenly realized that it was God's mercy that would not abandon him.
Originally, he and his brothers were on the verge of death, but this wave of government troops happened to provide them with a chance to escape.
Both sides are already in a state of panic and are only trying to save themselves. Now, the only way out is to lead the brothers to evacuate as quickly as possible.
As soon as he made up his mind, Tie Ge shouted loudly: "Brothers, retreat quickly! The government is coming!"
Hearing the leader's call, the Iron Gang soldiers tried their best to escape from the battlefield and quickly gathered around the leader, and the scene fell into chaos for a while.
The Iron Gang suddenly retreated, and the original confrontation situation was instantly overturned. The Lanming Mountain side refused to give up and entangled the enemy, while the Iron Gang members tried to escape in panic, and many of them fell again before they could defend themselves.
Seeing that the evacuation resulted in heavy casualties among his brothers, Tie Ge was heartbroken.
But now is not the time to grieve. The key is to evacuate the remaining brothers safely as soon as possible.
With his fists clenched, he led the panicked team to evacuate quickly.
Seeing the Iron Gang retreat, although Lanmingshan had more people and more power, the boss was in trouble.
There are two choices before him: either lead all the brothers to completely wipe out the Tiger Gang, which would avenge the dead brothers, but would also lead to everyone being arrested.
Or one team withdraws and temporarily lets the Tiger Gang go. At this time, the Tiger Gang is leaderless and many people have shown their intention to retreat.
The boss of Lanming Mountain turned to look at his companions. Even though they knew the authorities were coming, they still stayed at their posts and hunted down the remaining Tiger Gang members.
The second leader rushed over and said, "Brother, the brothers who sacrificed themselves are irreparable, but we cannot let the brothers who are still alive be buried with them! The three gang leaders have escaped, and the remaining ones are just insignificant pawns. Killing them all will be useless."
After some deep thought, the great leader put away his double blades and announced to his companions who were fighting: "Brothers, let them go and evacuate!"
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers decisively gave up their enemies and quickly gathered together to retreat.
After a while, all the people in Lanming Mountain evacuated, leaving only a few fish that were caught by the government - soldiers from the Tiger Gang.
The leading official saw that the criminals had already escaped and there was no way to know their number, so he decided not to act rashly. He thought that catching this group would be enough to deal with his superiors. He snorted coldly and led his troops away.
At this moment, the imperial city finally returned to peace.
This fierce battle consumed the elite forces of the major gangs and Lanming Mountain.
These fugitives hid in a remote mountain area, kept quiet and accumulated strength, but their competition for the throne was no longer fierce, as they knew there would always be someone better than you.
If we don’t act carefully, another invasion of the imperial city could bring about a catastrophic disaster.
The chief of Lanming Mountain took his brothers and hid in an unnamed mountainous area east of the imperial city, making a living by robbing the rich and giving to the poor. It was a return to the old life of bandits. Unfortunately, there were few people here and life was difficult.
Worried about his ninth brother who could not be taken out of the battlefield in time, the great leader drank every day to relieve his worries and talked incessantly.
This battle dealt him a heavy blow, forcing the once powerful Lanmingshan to withdraw from the game for the imperial city.
Today, the three powers are no longer as glorious as they once were.
They each occupied the outskirts of the city, quietly accumulating strength, but they all kept a low profile for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves.
The silence after a great war seemed to indicate that the day when they would fight for the throne of "Emperor" was far away.
The only gang that still maintained a certain level of combat effectiveness was the Evil Wolf Gang that withdrew at the critical moment.
In order to preserve his own power, Mingdao cruelly abandoned his comrades and evacuated the battlefield early.
This left the remaining Tiger Gang and Iron Stick Gang powerless to resist the pressure, but the sudden influx of law enforcement forces also disrupted the layout of Lanming Mountain. They could only watch the Tiger Gang and Iron Stick Gang leave sadly.
The Evil Wolf Gang is now hiding in a small town near the capital.
Even here, the famous sword still has the dream of being an emperor.
However, the reality of the power balance forced him to admit that the current situation was unsustainable.
Especially since his loyal deputy broke his arm in that battle. Now if he wants to regroup and break into the capital, he also has to consider the life and death and current situation of his brothers.
Therefore, Mingdao asked everyone to disguise themselves as citizens and mingle in the town, waiting for the next opportunity.
Although the townspeople noticed the influx of strangers, they did not think much of it, nor did they alert the authorities.
Zhang Liang felt at ease after dealing with this matter. He knew that without these ignorant little thieves holding him back, he could focus on implementing his plan.
Birds flew happily over his head. Zhang Liang took a sip of tea and looked at the city skyline.
On the other side, the five teams commanded by Feiyu have undergone several days of training and are about to begin actual combat assessments to test the results achieved during this period.
The first to bear the brunt were Feiyu's elite assassination team - the White Tiger Team.
They are a secret force that cannot afford to fail. Once they attack, they must take the enemy's head. Otherwise, the mission will fail. Not only may they die, but worse still, Feiyu's entire strategic deployment may be exposed to the sun.
