Zhu Zongdao shot the second arrow randomly, then he drew back his bow, raised his spear, and charged forward on his horse.
When he thought about it, this kind of messy newly recruited archers were not even as good as the miscellaneous soldiers he had during the previous rebellion. He stepped forward on horseback, with the brave old thieves following behind him, and he would definitely be able to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.
"ah!"
Screams rang out as this random arrow hit an unlucky guy at random.
But there was too much chaos on Ju Ming's side, so he just rushed forward without even knowing who was hit. The deterrence caused by this arrow was actually not as good as the previous one.
Zhu Zongdao rushed towards him with a horse, and the pot coverer in the front row was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. It was exactly as he expected.
Among the archers holding moso bamboo, the timid ones dropped the bamboos and ran away, while the brave ones picked up the bamboos and poked them randomly.
Zhu Zongdao's target is Ju Ming. Who made Ju Ming choose to rush to the front alone in order to boost morale?
Seeing a spear coming from a long way away, Ju Ming dodged to the side so that he wouldn't be stupid enough to confront him head-on. When Zhu Zongdao's spear came out, Ju Ming had already escaped two meters away and rolled back to pick it up.
The bamboo thrown away by the archer.
Although many of the archers escaped, there were still more than ten moso bamboo sticks with sharp forked branches, which they stabbed at Zhu Zongdao with all their strength.
There was no need for Zhu Zongdao to react. The horse under his crotch automatically slowed down and did not dare to hit those sharp objects.
Zhu Zongdao relied on the spear in his hand and gently clamped the horse's belly forward. What happened next was a bit beyond his imagination. Those bamboos were too long and he couldn't get through them.
He used his gun to push away several bamboos in succession, leaving Zhu Zongdao in a panic. The head of his horse was even scratched by the bamboo branches.
In desperation, Zhu Zongdao could only rein in his horse and retreat to join the more than 20 men behind him.
"The thief was defeated!"
Zhu Ming finally picked up a piece of bamboo and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Kill the rebel leader, and the county magistrate will reward you three times!"
"kill!"
When they heard that there was a reward, and there were as many as three shots, the archers' morale instantly increased, and they picked up the guy and rushed forward desperately.
Even those defeated soldiers who had not fled far turned back, picked up their weapons and fought forward.
At this moment, there are about forty or fifty archers who dare to fight. The weapons in their hands are in a mess, and they have everything. The pot coverer has thrown away all the pot lids, and is picking up the ones abandoned by the deserters nearby.
There are only about twenty people on Zhu Zongdao's side. Although all of them have excellent weapons, most of them are short weapons.
When the two sides started fighting, the three-meter-long bamboo was called a magical weapon. The archer holding the bamboo was like a god coming down from the earth. At first, he just stabbed randomly, but when he went crazy, he started sweeping left and right. The sharp branches branched out and once hit the enemy's face.
, can make several bloody holes.
Those old thieves were capsized in the gutter and were instantly confused by this rogue method.
They slashed with knives, but to no avail. Within a minute, all of them had wounds on their faces.
An old thief was so angry that he raised his left arm to cover his face and rushed through the bamboo formation desperately. The archer behind him, armed with a spear, a simple knife and a sword, immediately raised his weapon and stabbed outward.
It was so tragic. The old thief who rushed in first was instantly hit by two hammers, two simple knives, and a spear.
He died completely on the spot!
Zhu Zongdao felt his scalp numb when he saw it, knowing that he could not win today, so he quickly issued a retreat order: "The wind is blowing hard, follow me out of the city quickly!"
This guy ran away immediately, and the old thieves under his command also ran away.
"The bandits have been defeated! Charge!"
Ju Ming shouted again, threw away the bamboo, pulled out his sword, and started chasing after him.
Dozens of archers were eager to catch up with them, and all kinds of weapons took turns to serve them. Several old thieves didn't even know how to die.
Fortunately, they had just joined the army, and they had not yet learned how to take credit for their actions. They killed one person and then went after the next one.
Ju Ming was the fastest in pursuit. He swung his sword and cut a bloody gash in the thief's back. Then he continued to chase regardless. The thief was injured and fell to the ground. He was beaten to death by a group of archers who followed him.
Zhu Zongdao accelerated his horse while looking back to check the situation. He felt that his men would not be spared, so he could only endure his grief and anger and escape alone.
"Da da da da!"
However, it was Chen Ziyi who received a call for help at a side gate and left his men behind to pursue him on horseback.
Seeing that Zhu Zongdao had fled far away, he did not bother to meet up with Ju Ming, and hurriedly rode south and rushed into an alley.
This guy is a prodigal who often plays in the county town and is very familiar with the conditions of the streets.
Based on the direction in which Zhu Zongdao was escaping, Chen Ziyi guessed that he would escape from the west gate. So he took a shortcut and passed through several small alleys, arriving at the west gate before the enemy.
Chen Ziyi shouted at the gatekeeper: "The county magistrate has issued an order to close the city gate!"
The guards did not act, but looked at Chen Ziyi suspiciously. They obviously knew this libertine.
Chen Ziyi was a little speechless. He knew that he had a bad reputation. He usually acted carelessly and his words had no credibility at critical moments.
Seeing Zhu Zongdao running towards him on horseback, Chen Ziyi didn't bother to talk anymore, bent his bow and started taking aim.
This guy also brings his own bow and arrows!
It's a pity that although his riding skills are excellent, his archery skills are still a bit poor, and Zhu Zongdao easily dodged him.
"Straight bitch, come and take your life quickly!"
Chen Ziyi withdrew his bow and arrows and charged with his spear and horse.
Seeing someone blocking the road ahead, Zhu Zongdao raised his spear and urged his horse to speed up.
It's a very standard battle between generals, but unfortunately one is a bandit and the other is a libertine.
As the two riders crossed each other, Zhu Zongdao poked out with his spear. He had only been practicing riding for a few months, and he was already very good at it.
I saw Chen Ziyi's body turning sideways and disappearing on the horse in an instant, which was the "hiding in the stirrups" he performed that day. At the same time, using his sprint speed, he gently handed out the spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear accurately poked Zhu Zongdao's waist.
Zhu Zongdao lost his balance and immediately fell from his horse and fell to the ground.
He was knocked dizzy, and just as he struggled to get up, Chen Ziyi came back from the horse, raised his gun and stabbed him in the neck.
Zhu Zhushu, who caused a lot of bad things, died so neatly.
Chen Ziyi jumped off the horse, walked to the corpse and squatted down, pulled out a short knife and began to cut off the head. He was not skilled in this craft, and when he cut the bone, it got stuck. He could only pull it back and forth like sawing wood, and the wounds were pulled out of flesh and blood.
Vague.
"vomit!"
Chen Ziyi felt so sick that he lay there and vomited. After a while, he continued to cut. After a long delay, he finally got it done.
Then he untied Zhu Zongdao's bun, used his hair as a rope, and tied his head to his spear.
Then he got on his horse and moved forward deliberately slowly.
It's like a fisherman who catches a big fish, carries a fish weighing dozens of kilograms, and shows off on the street on a battery car.
Chen Ziyi's body rose and fell with the horse's back, and the head of the spear swayed. Wherever he passed, passers-by ran away in panic. After running far away, they looked back in surprise.
"The chief secretary Zhu Zongdao colluded with the bandits to cause rebellion and raised private soldiers with the intention of rebelling. I was ordered by the magistrate to kill him..." Chen Ziyi held his head high and boasted about his great achievements.
"Well done!"
"Chen Dalang is so skilled!"
"Chen Dalang eliminates harm for the people, and he is a good man!"
"..."
The people in the city were no longer afraid, and everyone praised him.
It is difficult to replace civil servants, but the archers of the county captain can be replaced at will. Zhu Zongdao has replaced most of the archers with his own people.
These guys were rebels and became policemen and urban management officials. They have already caused harm to the people.
All the evil deeds they committed were blamed by the people on Master Zhu. Now that Master Zhu is being killed, how can everyone not be happy?
Hearing the common people praising him, Chen Ziyi felt as if he had eaten honey. He smiled crookedly on the spot, carrying a spear with hair flowing all over his body, and raised his hands to the neighbors on both sides of the road.
Suddenly, this guy asked loudly: "Am I a good man?"
"He's a hero! He's a hero!" the people shouted wildly.
Chen Ziyi asked again: "Am I a prodigal?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone laughed non-stop, I am afraid it will be difficult to take off this label.
At this time, Zhu Ming had led his troops to chase him. When he saw Chen Ziyi, who looked like a dog, he immediately sat down to rest and couldn't laugh or cry.
Chen Ziyi hurriedly rode forward and said with added jealousy: "Brother Zhu, I had already expected that this thief was going to escape to the west gate. I immediately took a shortcut through the streets and alleys, and it was dangerous and dangerous, and then I stopped him in the west gate.
He took out his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow that made him tremble. Then he rode on horseback and fought with the thief for fifty rounds. But he said that this bird man was a rebel, and his marksmanship was very good. He moved the dragon out of the sea and killed me by surprise.
.I am not a vegetarian either, so I jumped over the dragon gate with my backhand..."
Zhu Ming rolled his eyes when he heard this, but the archers admired him deeply and thought that Chen Dalang was a good man.
Chen Ziyi never stopped talking and started to recreate the scene one by one, and more and more people listened to his bragging.
Zhang Guangdao was responsible for surrounding the back door of Zhu's house, which was the farthest away from the battle site. When he arrived with his troops, Chen Ziyi had already reached the thirty-second round.
"What a death!"
Staring at the head at the head of the gun, Zhang Guangdao gritted his teeth.
When it came to the fortieth round, Ju Ming couldn't stand listening anymore and shouted: "Chen Dutou, the county magistrate is still waiting for news, please quickly take the head and return to life."
Chen Ziyi was a little reluctant to leave, and said to the people in the neighborhood: "My fellow villagers, please go and get your orders today, and I will come back another day to finish my talk!"
"Go together, go together!" the crowd cheered.
Countless people followed to see him off, and even the ordinary archers felt their faces were shining, and they straightened their backs and walked away.
Xiang Zhixian was waiting anxiously. The archers had not returned yet, but several of his followers had already gone to report.
When he heard that Zhu Zongdao was dead, he put his hands behind his back and smiled to the magistrate, as if he were a worldly expert: "I have made a clever plan, and the bandits are indeed captured. Please follow me to meet the warriors."
The two parties met near the county government office.
After eradicating the scourge of Zhu Zhubu, the people all felt that the magistrate was a good official, and they cheered and praised him one after another, shouting to the sky.
Xiang Qingtian was so happy that he couldn't find the north. His body became a few kilograms lighter and he felt as if he were in heaven.
Eliminating harm for the people, rescuing the common people, no matter how greedy and dim-witted the official is, he likes this feeling and is addicted to it and cannot extricate himself.
When Xiang Qingtian was almost happy, Zhu Ming stepped forward and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, all the thieves have been killed, and no one has escaped. Two of our soldiers were injured, both of them were wounded by the thieves' bows and arrows."
Xiang Zhixian laughed heartily: "This is a great victory, and everyone will be rewarded heavily!"
Zhu Ming added: "The leader of the bandit escaped on horseback, but fortunately Chen Dutou pursued and intercepted him. Chen Dutou was extremely skilled in martial arts and beheaded the leader of the bandit alone!"
Xiang Zhixian stepped forward to hold Chen Ziyi's hand and admired: "There are such warriors in such a small Xixiang County."
Chen Ziyi was originally talkative and talkative, but now he didn't know how to respond, so he just kept grinning.
A magistrate and a prodigal son both became heroes, and they complemented each other.
Ju Ming came to Xiang Zhixian and whispered in a low voice: "The Zhu family has been surrounded. The subordinates took the decision without authorization and asked archers to search for prohibited items. There is not much property, and maybe the thieves have another lair. There are two thieves injured.
If you are captured alive, the county magistrate can personally interrogate you."
Magistrate Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this. He patted Ju Ming's arm and said, "If you get anything, it will be your benefit."
