Zhao Hao watched Wang Yuan lead the army away, and suddenly remembered his sadness. He asked Liu Hui next to him: "What is the name of the Guizhou Juren who killed my brother Zhao Pan?"
Liu Hui was stunned and recalled: "The soldiers who escaped could not tell clearly. Some said they were called Wang Jian, some said they were called Wang Yan, and some said they were called Wang Yuan. But that was just a candidate, and he was the number one scholar.
Are they the same person?"
"There are so many scholars with outstanding martial arts skills. I'm afraid they are the same person!"
Zhao Hao gritted his teeth and said: "The examination results should not have been released at that time, so this guy claimed to be a member of the Guizhou Juren Examination, and now he just happened to be the top scholar in this subject."
Yang Hu's favorite general was singled out and killed, and now he was still confused. He asked: "Zhao Xiucai, are all you scholars like this? You are a madman in fighting, and the number one scholar is also a madman in fighting. He is much more powerful than the military attache of the imperial court!"
"
Zhao Hao sneered and said: "If all the scholars in the world have such ability, how can you have the chance to cause trouble?"
Liu Hui was still unwilling to give in. He pointed at the two hundred cavalrymen in the distance and asked, "Just let him leave in a big way?"
"You think I don't want revenge?" Zhao Hao said angrily, "All our cavalry have gone into the city to grab things. How can two legs chase someone with four legs? Brothers, Liu Liu and Liu Qi are not people who want to do big things. Now the official
The army is in a hurry to pursue them, so let's join forces with them to march south first. Once we pass Cangzhou, we can divide our forces and go it alone."
"If they go to Shandong, we will go to Henan." Yang Hu is a veteran in the anti-thief world. He started the incident earlier than Liu Liu and Liu Qi. For various reasons, he respects both Liu and Liu as leaders, but his heart has long been full of guilt.
resentment.
First, Liu Liu and Liu Qi were too cruel, and secondly, Liu, Liu and Liu Qi divided the spoils unevenly. Even if Zhao Hao didn't say this, Yang Hu still wanted to break through and lead everyone away.
Liu Hui urged: "We have been delayed for a long time, let's go into the city quickly. Liu Liu and Liu Qi eat meat, so they can get some soup anyway. If we enter the city later, we won't even get the soup."
Yang Hu immediately led his troops into the city, intending to lead his subordinates to plunder, but he was not in the mood or able to pursue Wang Yuan.
Just as he approached the city gate, Zhao Hao suddenly pointed in the direction where Wang Yuan left and said in horror: "They are back again, what do they want to do?"
Yang Hu raised his eyes and saw two hundred cavalry heading straight for his camp. He was so angry that he cursed: "This is a cruel way of bullying!"
…
When Wang Yuan called for a duel, Wu Liande had already taken people back to get things. Several hundred people had a lot of supplies there.
Seeing that Wu Liande was injured, Wang Yuan asked: "Have you encountered enemy situation?"
"When we encounter some bandit sentries," Wu Liande sneered, "Damn, these rebels are also smart. They actually know how to send out sentries to find out information, and they even go around to intercept and kill our baggage train. Fortunately, those in the south are smart.
There are not many sentries, most of them are in the north to detect the main force of the army."
Wang Yuan asked: "What are the casualties?"
Wu Liande said: "Six Jinyiwei brothers died, and dozens of grain transporters died. However, the thieves and bandits did not get any benefits. Now they are probably back to the county town to report the news."
Wu Liande brought some oil cans and torches, and after they were distributed on the spot, Wang Yuan asked everyone to light the torches.
"Wang Yushi, where are you going to fight?" Zhu Zhi asked.
Wang Yuan pointed towards the enemy camp: "Of course it's an attack on the camp. When I called the formation, I took the opportunity to observe it. The enemy camp seemed to be empty of defenses."
Zhu Ying asked: "Why attack an empty camp? There is no head to behead."
"What do we want to do with his head? Aren't his previous meritorious services considered great?" Wang Yuan asked back.
Zhu Ying stopped talking.
When all the knights lit their torches, Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Gentlemen, follow me to attack the camp!"
At this moment, most of the bandits have entered the city to rob, and Yang Hu, Zhao Hao and others also came out of the camp to suppress the formation. Only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in the enemy camp, family members of the bandits and some bandits guarding food!
Seeing the officers and soldiers leaving and returning, Zhao Hao shouted in fear: "Go back to the camp quickly to protect your family and food and grass!"
Wang Yuan led his cavalry around to the rear of the bandit camp. There was a gap of two miles between them. How could Zhao Hao have time to rescue him?
After moving the simple fence, two hundred cavalrymen passed through the camp. They threw the oil cans on the flammable objects and held up the torches to burn anything in sight. In an instant, a raging fire broke out in the camp.
The bandits in the camp had no resistance at all. They didn't even bother to grab their weapons, so they fled in all directions, crying and howling. In the blink of an eye, the camp was burned to ashes.
"Grain and grass, my food and grass!" Yang Hu was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Instead, Zhao Hao calmed down, regardless of whether his wife and daughter were safe or not, and said coldly: "Don't go back to the camp, call Liu Liu, Liu Qi, Qi Yanming and them out of the city! Cavalry, we need cavalry, otherwise we will just be stupid
Get beaten while standing!”
Wang Yuan led 200 fine cavalry to kill the bandit camp, but Liu Liu and Liu Qi were still looting in the city.
This shameful incident of breaking into the city and robbing the city would have to last for at least half a day, and even if the leader of the thieves gave the order, they would not be able to stop it.
Yang Hu was going crazy and complained: "Why is there no one to guard the food and grass in the camp?"
Zhao Hao said angrily: "Each ministry has its own men, but each is guarding its own. The troops are too scattered. How can we stop the two hundred elite cavalry from breaking through the camp? Brother Yang, this is still a problem of inconsistent orders. Once we leave the official army
To pursue, we should build a new government, unify military orders, and establish strict systems, otherwise we will always be in disarray!"
"They burned the camp and still haven't left!" Liu Hui said with red eyes.
Yang Hu was about to cry: "I am afraid that the number one thief wants to enter the city, so he is too brave!"
Zhao Hao said: "Let's go into the city quickly and block this guy in the city!"
All the gates of Jinghai County were opened. Except for the personal guards of Yang Hu and others, other bandits had entered the city to plunder.
Moreover, during the frenzy of looting, no one was guarding the city gate, otherwise Wang Yuan would have no chance of entering the city!
Wang Yuan led his people around to the east gate and entered. Small groups of unorganized thieves could be seen everywhere, and many people were crying and running for their lives. Some houses around him were already on fire.
"The officers and soldiers have arrived, kill the thieves and serve the country!"
Wang Yuan led two hundred cavalry and shouted loudly, which frightened the bandits in the city and fled. They really thought that the main force of the official army was coming to kill them.
Zhu Zhi slashed several thieves to death with his sword and laughed loudly: "Fighting with Wang Yushi is so damn fun!"
But Wang Yuan was shouting and scolding: "We are not allowed to dismount and behead our heads. At this time, we are still showing off military exploits. Be careful, the bandits will block us in the city and prevent us from getting out!"
Eunuch Zhu Ying seemed to have become a healthy man again. He slashed left and right with his sword. He didn't even know how many he killed. Anyway, these thieves just ran for their lives when they saw the officers and soldiers.
Liu Liu, Liu Qi, Qi Yanming and others, led by Dian Shi of the county, all gathered in the homes of several wealthy households. They directed the bandits to rob money and food, and suddenly received a report from outside the city: "The camp was burned down by officers and soldiers. Yang
Big brother, please leaders to organize your troops quickly!"
"The officers and soldiers are here?" All the thieves were shocked.
Suddenly, hundreds of thieves came running in panic, shouting as they ran: "The officers and soldiers have entered the city!"
Liu Qi was panicked and asked: "How many officers and soldiers are there?"
The fleeing bandit was still in shock and replied: "I don't know, there are officers and soldiers everywhere anyway!"
Qi Yanming was also panicked: "Quickly gather the soldiers and retreat outside the city."
Collect a hammer, not to mention the rebels with extremely poor discipline, even the officers and soldiers can't take it back, those thieves have already gone crazy.
The more than two thousand thieves who posed the greatest threat to Wang Yuan were all scattered in the city at this moment. Many of them rushed into people's houses, dismounted, burned, killed and looted, and they had long been transformed into infantry.
Among all the thieves, Qi Yanming had the most cavalry, with a total of three hundred elite cavalry who fought in several provinces - not horse thieves, but powerful cavalry who were fully armored and could charge into formations.
These three hundred fine knights are Qi Yanming's treasures.
You can give up your parents and brothers, you can give up your gold and silver, you can give up your thousands of infantry, but you must bring back those three hundred fine cavalry!
"Return to the army together, return to the army together!"
Qi Yanming led more than ten cavalry around him and shouted loudly along the streets and alleys. But the city was too chaotic and there were shouts everywhere. He ran the entire street and only pulled back more than thirty cavalry.
Zhu Ying shouted in surprise: "Wang Yushi, there is a thief here!"
"kill!"
Wang Yuan rode in pursuit, and Qi Yanming was wearing mountain armor. At a glance, he knew he was a bandit leader.
Two hundred fine cavalry charged on the street, and Qi Yanming only had fifty cavalry beside him. He immediately chose to turn around and escape, leading Wang Yuan to Liu Liu and Liu Qi's side, so that the officers and soldiers could be surrounded and killed.
The distance between the two sides was very close. Wang Yuan took out his bow and arrow and shot, but unfortunately he was blocked by the bandits. The first arrow failed to kill Qi Yanming.
He fired several arrows in succession, one for each, but Qi Yanming was extremely cunning and hid in the crowd without showing his head.
"Stop chasing!"
Seeing that there were more and more bandits in front of him, Wang Yuan ignored Qi Yanming and led his cavalry to another street.
Qi Yanming was so frightened that his legs became weak. He hid in a private house and did not dare to come out again. He only asked his men to gather the cavalry.
"There's another thief over there!" Zhu Ying shouted.
The two hundred cavalrymen were all excited and followed Wang Yuan to kill him.
These were all newly gathered infantry, each with their belongings on their backs, and there were four to five hundred of them. The two hundred cavalry thundered towards them, but the rebels did not dare to challenge them, and fled in all directions carrying their belongings on their backs.
No matter how much the leader of thieves shouts, it will be of no avail.
Wang Yuan killed several people in succession. Zhu Zhi ran faster this time and ran directly towards the head of the thief, cutting him down with one blow.
Zhu Zhi dismounted, cut off and collected them, and captured another bandit alive. He asked, "Who is this beast?"
When the bandit soldier saw the leader's head, he trembled and said: "Zhang...Zhang Zhang Zhang, Brother Zhang!"
"What's your name?" Zhu Zhi put a knife on the man's neck.
The bandit replied in horror: "Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu...Brother Zhang."
"unlucky!"
Zhu Zhi was extremely depressed, he was just an unknown thief leader, and the people he wanted to kill were Liu Liu, Liu Qi and Qi Yanming.
In fact, if Zhu Zhi had not killed Zhang Xiu, in about half a year, this guy would also be on the imperial court's reward list.
Wang Yuan shouted: "Don't be nagging and continue to kill!"
At this time, Yang Hu, Zhao Hao and others had led troops into the city and joined Liu Liu and Liu Qi in Nancheng District. Hearing that there were only 200 officers and soldiers, Liu Liu and Liu Qi were so angry that smoke came from their heads, and the thieves separated into two streets.
Chase after Wang Yuan.
"There's a thief in brocade over there!" Zhu Ying shouted again.
Zhu Zhi ran faster this time. He rode his horse and arrived in a flash. He hacked the man to death and then captured the thief for questioning.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhu Zhi laughed wildly, picked up the head and mounted his horse, turned around and said: "Wang Yushi, I killed Liu Liu's nephew Liu Yanshen, and I really made a lot of money this time!"
Wang Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and ordered: "Retreat quickly and go out through the north gate!"
