An equally tragic battle took place on the periphery of the mountains and forests, on the mountain road leading to the western plains. Thousands of pirates and refugee troops were fighting their best to attack temporary positions defended by only one hundred mountain camp soldiers.

However, they found in despair that even if they attacked the Fu Liao army with ten times the force, they were still suppressed by the Fu Liao army's muskets. The more they hit the back, the more desperate it was. No one dared to charge at the risk of being shot by the musket!

"What should we do? Do dozens of brothers have died, and there is no possibility of capturing the Liao army's position, and they are not shaken at all." Several small leaders who led this pirate army gathered together to scratch their ears and faces, but there is still no good idea.

"Do we want to bypass this Restoration Army and leave the mountains and forests and enter the plains? When we return to the pioneer area, we can obtain food and supplies, and we can also call on the villagers and elders to kill the Restoration Army who remained on the plains together."

"Yes, their main force is used to block various mountain roads and to pursue us into the forests. There will definitely not be many people who stay behind the plains. At that time, we will wave our arms and gather 20,000 villagers and elders, and we will definitely be able to completely eliminate them. At that time, it will not be them who encircle us, but we will encircle them!"

After discussion, several small pirate leaders chose to bypass the position guarded by this mountain camp soldiers and directly enter the plain.

"Let's go back to the plains and ignore this annoying Restoration Army for the time being!" Several small pirate leaders summoned their subordinates and left this battlefield that frustrated them.

This temporary stronghold was a mountain camp that stole food from the pirates hiding in the mountains and forests in order to block the residents of the plains' reclamation area. Naturally, it was impossible to stop the pirates from thousands of people from bypassing them. However, their existence made the pirates entering the plains' area like thorns on their backs.

"Why did the main force of the pirates appear here? Could it be that the commander and the others did not catch the main force of the pirates and let them escape?" After fighting this inexplicable war, the officer in charge of blocking the mountain road was still a little puzzled when he looked at the leaving pirates.

"Are we going to send someone to follow them?"

"The pirates ran out of the mountains and forests, and it would be useless for us to continue to garrison here. We ignited the fire to contact other nearby troops blocking the mountain roads, and returned to the stronghold together to encircle and suppress the pirates." The commander of the troops said.

Two or three thousand residents in the plain reclamation area had a dispute over whether to support Zheng Zhihu. Internal strife arose among the residents, and two camps were formed. On one side, the faction supported Zheng Zhilong, represented by the clan elders, wanted to take advantage of the period when the main force of the mountain camp entered the mountains and forests to overturn the mountain camp's rule over Bengang. On the other side, the peace faction of the residents who were unwilling to shed blood. As long as the Liao army and Shibazhi treated them similarly, it didn't matter who ruled them, and they were unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices.

"There are only more than 300 soldiers of the Fu Liao army who stayed in Bengang. As long as we join forces with all the Han people in the nearby villages and the natives launch an attack on Bengang, destroy their strongholds and burn their supplies in one fell swoop, they will have to retreat. In this way, Bengang will return to our own people!" The elders of the war-first faction once again gathered the residents around them to discuss the uprising.

Especially now, the mountain camps are not strong enough to monitor the surrounding villages. Even if they summon the rebels with great fanfare, they may not be able to detect the soldiers of the mountain camp who stayed at the stronghold.

"I object. Even if we kill more than 300 soldiers of the Refuge Liao army, can we guarantee that they will not send a steady stream of troops to reinforce? What if they anger the Refuge Liao army, and they are asked to send tens of thousands of troops to suppress the rebellion, what should we use to resist? Don't forget that the disappearing fleet of the Refuge Liao army will come back again! What's more, whether we can defeat the 300 soldiers of the Refuge Liao army." The middle-aged man who talked back to the clan last time stood up and questioned.

"Dazhuang, why are you boy again? Are you trying to make others more ambitious and destroy your own might? We 30,000 residents can't beat their mere 300 soldiers? Just one of us can drown the Restoration Army!" Some clan bosses were furious.

"We have 30,000 residents, but are we going to fight with our children and women? There are only a few thousand people here who can truly have combat power. You don't know that the soldiers of the Fu Liao army are all fully armed elite soldiers. It is not impossible to fight ten!" The middle-aged man called Da Zhu insisted that he could not conflict with the Fu Liao army. "If we really fight, we may face the fate of extermination!"

"Dazhuang, you're enough! Come and take him down and put him in the ancestral hall to face the wall to think about his mistakes!" Under the orders of several highly respected clan elders, some clan members who obeyed the clan elders' orders held Dazhuang.

"You are destroying yourself!" Dazhuang still shouted when he was taken down.

"This is something that is ripped off!" The clan elder of the war snorted coldly, "When we came here to pioneer the territory, when we faced the natives here, we were not wandering on the verge of life and death. Is it because we were afraid of the Liao army this time?"

"As long as we organize three thousand men, set fire to the strongholds of the Resurrection Liao army, and then we lead the army to attack, the Resurrection Liao army will definitely collapse without fighting and surrender to us!" Some clan elders and other clan members of the pro-war faction thought optimistically.

Just when the pro-war faction was anxiously contacting the strong men from various villages, the thousand-man pirates separated from Zheng Zhihu and the others to break through the blockade successfully returned to the plain area after bypassing a hundred mountain camp soldiers. Their "triumphant return" further strengthened the pro-war faction's determination to overthrow Bengang and restore the Liao army!

"Where is Zheng Zhihu?" Some old uncles came to greet the pirates themselves, but did not see Zheng Zhihu in the lead.

"Uh... the second leader is still trying to win the Taya people and we join forces to deal with the Restoration Liao army, and we must completely eliminate the main force of the Restoration Liao army.

In the forest… “Faced with many anticipated eyes, the temporary leader of this pirate army could not tell the shameful fact that they were chased away by Cheng Crazy Man in the forest…

"It seems that Zheng Zhihu is sure to win! You are back just in time. We are about to organize the rebel army to attack the stronghold of the Fu Liao army in Bengang and recapture the Bengang. Your return will make us feel like a tiger!" The warlord held the hand of the pirate leader and said excitedly, "Our people are ten times that of the Fu Liao army in the port, and we will definitely be able to destroy them!"

"Haha, yes..." The pirate leader muttered in his heart. They had been besieging one hundred Fu Liao soldiers with ten times their strength, but...
