Xun Xiu was still in a coma, but Zhao Ming received the message, and he understood it after a moment's thought. He immediately ordered his people to retreat, trying to get out of the south gate.
If this were an ordinary person, he would naturally know that he would not have to worry about having firewood to burn the green hills, but was Zhixiong an ordinary person?
He ignored the opening to escape. When he realized that he could not get back to Meng County, he realized that he would be surrounded and chased by Zhao's army after he left. As he was running away, he directly led his people to spend a lot of effort to arrange kerosene and other supplies. When Zhao Hanzhang approached him, he directly
After ordering the city to be burned, he took his people and fled through the open south gate.
It was late summer and July. After the hottest month of June and continuous drought, the house that had been doused with kerosene was ignited and burst into flames instantly, snaking along the poured kerosene like a fiery snake.
Zhao Hanzhang was furious when he saw the fire that ignited instantly, and immediately ordered, "One team and two teams went to put out the fire, three teams and four teams went to put out the fire, five teams and six teams ordered the whole city to evacuate the people in the city from Meng County, and the rest followed
I will go after Zhi Xiong and Zhao Ze."
"The end will be here."
"Go to the north of the city to pick up Tinghan and protect him in the camp."
Zhao Ze responded.
Zhao Hanzhang sent someone to notify Xun Xiu, and immediately sent out troops to intercept Zhi Xiong. He also said: "Let Xun Xiu send 20,000 people to Xiayi County to support Zhao Ju."
Calculating the time, Shi Le should have arrived long ago. If he didn't arrive, he must have been held back by Zhao Ju. She had to send troops to support him.
Zhao Ming accepted the order on behalf of Xun Xiu and immediately divided his troops into two groups. Taking into account the current morale and loyalty of the Xun family army, he ordered Qiu Wu to lead 20,000 people to support Zhao Ju, while Xun Ming led his troops to chase Zhi Xiong and encircle Zhao Hanzhang.
The soldiers started making noises, and Shi Jun looked around. Someone carefully dropped his weapon. Immediately, a Zhao Jun with quick eyesight and quick hands pulled the person over and made him squat on the ground...
Shi Jun was trembling with fear. Zhao Hanzhang raised his gun and shouted: "Kill me!"
There was also a group of 100 cavalrymen led by Wu Liang who hid above the official road, using the trees to cover their figures. They only waited for orders before charging down.
After a while, everyone saw Zhi Xiong leading a group of people running towards them in a panic.
Zhao Hanzhang looked calm on his face, but he was gnashing his teeth in his heart.
Zhao Hanzhang flew over the panicked Shi Jun. As he approached, he stretched out his hand to grab the gun barrel, flicked it and took it out. Without looking at the dead team leader, who opened his eyes, he stabbed the spear through one man's neck and pierced another man's chest.
Zhao's army caught up with Shi's army, and their morale was great. Shi's army was running away and was already low in morale. At this time, being suppressed by Zhao's momentum, his fighting spirit suddenly disappeared, and he just wanted to escape quickly.
"kill--"
Chase him in the direction in which he escaped, taking a detour all the way.
While he was thinking, the messy sound of horse hooves came to his ears. Zhao Hanzhang's eyes lit up and he immediately put his ears close to the ground to listen, "Here we come, everyone, get ready!"
After running in the direction chosen by Zhao Hanzhang for another half an hour, they came out of the alley and walked to the official road.
The Jie tribe is good at riding and shooting. When their horses fall forward, most of them turn sideways quickly, choose to fly out on their shoulders or backs, roll around twice after landing, and then stand up...
Zhao Hanzhang stood at the fork in the road. After some thought, she decided to make a bet. She bet that Zhi Xiong wanted to go southeast to Xiayi County to find Shi Le, instead of going east to leave Yuzhou.
Zhao Hanzhang gritted his teeth, "He dares to burn my city and massacre my people. I will make him pay with blood!"
It is simply a foolish dream to think that Yuzhou can be alone.
She can't wait any longer, just lie down now and treat it as a rest. She has also recovered more than ten counties in Yanzhou, and she will always recover the remaining counties, so she can always meet Zhixiong. If she can't take revenge today, come here
Just report it every day.
The orders were passed on one by one, and the soldiers lay down with their weapons ready, and even their horses were comforted and lay on the ground.
Zhi Xiong was still holding a big knife. He stared at Zhao Hanzhang with big eyes. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground. He wanted to speak, but blood kept pouring out and his voice was almost inaudible.
When Zhao Hanzhang saw him raising his head, he raised his hand and pushed his head hard into the grass, "Just lie down and no one will miss you."
Originally, Zhao Hanzhang asked Xun Xiu to let go of the South City Gate to give him a chance to escape, but he didn't realize that he didn't cherish it and wanted to burn the city to death.
Zhi Xiong was both capable and lucky. He managed to stand up, but before he could stand still, Zhao Hanzhang had already charged into the team with his men.
Zhi Xiong originally had the intention to turn around and kill a group of people, but when he saw such a rapid defeat, he immediately turned around and ran away with his henchmen.
Rong Yi agreed, and while passing on the order, he lay down and listened. He felt that Zhijun was too nervous, so he heard the wrong message. Just as he was hesitating, his ears finally caught the vibration of the horse's hoofs on the ground.
Zhao Hanzhang saw Zhi Xiong and rushed towards him to kill him.
After running for more than an hour, there was no one on the road. When they reached the fork in the road, Zhao Hanzhang signaled everyone to stop. She took out the map from her arms, compared it carefully, calculated her speed, and after thinking for a while, she said: "We
Come this way, let everyone take the time to rest and eat something, and be sure to stop Zhixiong before dark tonight."
Zhao Hanzhang stood in the darkness of dusk and pursed his lips. For the first time, he felt tired of the war. If the world could not be pacified, the war would be endless.
Because he stubbornly wanted to set a fire, Zhi Xiong missed the opportunity and was chased tightly behind him by Zhao Hanzhang.
Rong Yi killed the enemy he was fighting with with one strike, stepped forward and loudly said: "Disarm and kill!"
Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward and took his sword, swung it fiercely, chopped off his head, picked up the head, and shouted loudly: "Zhixiong is dead, do you still want to resist?"
Zhao Hanzhang's eyes were sharp, and he quickly slashed his neck with the spear in his hand. Zhi Xiong's eyes widened in an instant, and he slowly lowered his head.
Rong Yi wanted to go to support him, but he couldn't get close, so he could only lead his men to stop Shi Jun, who was constantly trying to charge forward.
Shi Jun, who was jealous of the killing, came back rationally and slowed down his movements. Zhao Jun also slowed down and began to close up to surround the people.
Seeing that those who surrendered were not killed, the others slowly put down their weapons.
At this time, most of the Central Plains was wilderness and mountains. There were only a few people around the city. In other places, there might not be villages for ten miles or eighty. Therefore, as long as Zhixiong didn't want to attack the city, he would avoid crowded places and stay away.
The pursuers behind are really hard to spot.
When Zhao Hanzhang came out, Zhi Xiong had already gone far, but she was not so anxious. After taking down most of the stone army left behind, Xun Ming also chased after her. She left some people to escort the prisoners, and the rest were divided among them.
Chase in two ways.
Zhao Hanzhang said confidently: "Yes!"
It doesn't matter, she holds grudges very much, and a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. She will always remember him and will take him with her even if she dies.
Rong Yi was slightly stunned and raised his head to look at Zhao Hanzhang with admiration.
Zhao Hanzhang had no intention of getting close to listen. Instead, he raised his chin and said proudly: "I will return your head to Shi Le."
Rong Yi agreed, and when everyone pulled up the stumbling ropes and hid in the woods on both sides of the road, Rong Yi was a little worried, "Shi Jun, Zhi Xiong, will they really take this road?"
However, the fleeing army could be killed but hard to stop. Soon, hundreds of people rushed out of the circle. They didn't care about the general and just wanted to run away. At this time, a cavalry flew out from the corner in front and charged all the way.
Harvest directly.
Zhao Hanzhang turned his horse around and led a group of people onto the trail, directly going around to the southeast, which was the junction of Meng County, Xiayi County and Sui County.
Zhao Hanzhang waited for the leading cavalry to approach, and calculated the speed of their horses' hooves. After letting go of seven or eight cavalry, he waved his hand and shouted: "Tripping——"
Xun Ming really didn't dare. After receiving the order, he immediately ordered his troops to pursue Zhi Xiong.
The two of them were old rivals. During the battle between the Zhao family and Wubao, he had followed Shi Le and hated her so much that he had gnashed his teeth against her. This time, he simply stopped running and picked up his sword to kill Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang was very angry and approached Shi Jun. He beat his horse to speed up the approach, while leaning forward and getting close to the horse's back. He threw the spear in his hand, then held it, charged up and threw it, and the spear flew out and plunged straight into the horse.
The chest of a team leader in the back row of Shi Jun...
She suppressed the hatred in her heart, took out a piece of dry food from her arms, broke off a small piece and stuffed it into her mouth to relieve her hunger.
At this time, the setting sun had set, and the entire official road was covered with blood stains and scattered corpses. Zhao Hanzhang stood on the battlefield that was even redder than the setting sun. The emotions in his chest that were clashing with the fighting slowly cooled down with the afterglow of the setting sun, and he couldn't bear it in his mind.
The urge to tear everything apart gradually subsided, leaving only physical and mental exhaustion.
After running for a day, they were tired and the horses were tired, so their speed was not very fast. Obviously, Xun Ming was not chasing closely.
However, there were many horses that fell to the ground in confusion, and not everyone could roll around on the ground safely. There were many people who were trampled by horses and fell down, breaking their necks.
All officers and men should come down.
The place where the two men fought soon became vacant. The main reason was that Zhixiong was ferocious and Zhao Hanzhang did not hesitate to kill anyone. The two of them killed anyone who came close to the enemy. Gradually everyone gave way to them.
There is an open space, but everyone has a tacit understanding to stop the other party from approaching for support.
Humph, he didn't believe that Xun Ming dared to do trouble in front of Zhao Hanzhang.
They don't have much dry food with them. If they can't find anyone tomorrow, they will have to go back.
The two armies instantly fought together.
Zhao Hanzhang and Rong Yi looked at the traces on the ground and made sure that the army had not passed by yet, so they said: "Rest, eat, and ambush."
They rushed into the melee to fight, and Zhao Hanzhang thrust his gun into Zhi Xiong's chest, pushing him back repeatedly until he was shot through, and then he suddenly pulled out his gun.
Zhi Xiong also saw Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhi Xiong was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and finally spoke. He looked at Zhao Hanzhang resentfully and said: "The general will avenge me, he will definitely avenge me!"
Dozens of ropes were pulled up instantly, and with the small pits buried on the ground, dozens of horses were instantly tripped, and the people on the horses fell off...
"Your Majesty, the battlefield has been cleared, 398 people were captured, and a total of 398 people were beheaded..."
Before Rong Yi could finish reporting, Wu Liang suddenly shouted, "Who is spying?"
Zhao Hanzhang immediately turned his head, and the entire army immediately stood up and stood on guard with weapons in hand.
Several bird calls were immediately heard from the forest. Everyone recognized that this was the signal from Zhao Jiajun and couldn't help but look at Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang did not relax. He took a step forward and said, "Give him the signal and ask him to come out and answer."
