Chapter 211 Chasing the Thieves

Chapter 211 Chasing the Thieves
Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, led the two fierce tiger generals, who were fierce like tigers and powerful tigers, and more than [-] riders trudged on the rugged mountain trails.The hard horseshoes collided with the hard stones, making a crisp sound of horseshoes.

There were many thieves and infantry scattered, more than [-] people.Although the officers and soldiers won the battle this time, and the cavalry pursued them, they still could not behead and capture too many bandits.

As someone famously said in later generations, even if these people are "[-] pigs", officers and soldiers cannot catch them all in a short while.What's more, these people are in a panic and always like to drill into the deep mountains.

In fact, Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, was not interested in arresting these rogues. Cutting off his head was not worth any military merit. After capturing the prisoners, he had to find a way to feed them.In this battle, they estimated that at least three or four thousand people could be beheaded and arrested, and it would be meaningless to have more, so they might as well save it for the next time and continue to make military achievements.

What's more, even if all these [-] people are arrested and chopped down, thousands of troublemakers will appear tomorrow.There is no way, and I don't know what happened to these people who were full and hung on. They didn't honestly starve to death at home, but they ran out to trouble the soldiers when they had nothing to do?Don't they know that left and right have to die?
If you want to catch or chop, you can only catch the chieftain and the leader, so that you can earn rewards and military merits.

While thinking about it, Zhang Zongheng was informed by spies again, and found another group of thieves in front of him.Zhang Zongheng ruthlessly ordered: "Shoot or kill, I only want the head!"

After a team of cavalry took the order, they patted their horses and rushed to pursue them on the rugged mountain road.Looking at these war horses, Zhang Zongheng smacked his teeth in distress.

This mountain road hurts horseshoes the most. Don't look at the horseshoes on all the horses under his command. Such a fast pursuit can easily break the horseshoes.If the horse's hoof is injured, no matter how good the horse is, it cannot be used.

Zhang Zongheng thought for a while, and decided that when the battle was over, he had to report more horse losses. Only in this way could he ask for more money from the court.Soldiers worked hard for the country, so they had to pay more for their hard work.

Zhang Zongheng, Governor of Xuanda, was thinking about the future "business", and never thought that another spies would return and report: "Junmen, we found a group of thieves with several banners, suspected to be the leader of the thieves!"

"Oh? Have you ever found out who the thief chieftain is?" Zhang Zongheng was shocked when he heard the words.

"I saw the word 'two' written on that flag, but I don't know who it is."

"Nonsense!" Zhang Zongheng was furious when he heard the words, "There are only a hundred surnames in the world, how can there be someone with the second surname?"

It's not surprising that Zhang Zongheng has little knowledge and has never heard of people with different surnames in the world.However, that ferocious tiger reacted faster, and quickly reminded: "Among the military sect and bandits, most of them use nicknames, which may not be their real names."

"Oh?" Zhang Zongheng thought about it after hearing the words, and couldn't help but said happily, "Could it be that there is 'Second Guan Gong' in front of him? Why don't you use the word 'Guan' as a banner to waste my time! You can find out what this person looks like." clear?"

"Little Tan understands that this person is wearing a green robe, holding a Yanyue knife, a long beard under his jaw, and sitting on a bay red horse. He is quite similar to Guan Gong in the temple!"

Zhang Zongheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said to the two tiger generals on the left and right: "We should wait for this great achievement! This thief is in the heart of the emperor, so he can capture and kill this man, and he will be promoted to a nobleman, it is no problem!"

Zhang Zongheng hastily dispatched fierce tigers to lead five hundred riders to capture the "Second Guan Gong" Chen Changbing. Chen Changbing had already known that the enemy was going to arrest him, so he quickly led two or three thousand soldiers to a high place, looking for a place with narrow and winding roads, according to the high place Keep it.

The fierce tiger led the team to the front, and saw that the road was rough, and it was difficult for the horses to walk.He had no choice but to abandon his horse and lead the team to attack upwards.

Chen Changbing had already led people to prepare stones and logs on the mountain for defense.Seeing the attack as fierce as a tiger, he immediately threw stones and logs down.The officers and soldiers were wearing heavy armor, making it difficult to dodge.Stones and logs rolled down the steep mountain road, killing dozens of people immediately.

Furious as a tiger, he quickly ordered the soldiers to shoot the rebels with bows and arrows.As a result, due to the lush vegetation on the mountain, the vision was not clear, and it was almost impossible to see where the rebels were, so many arrows were shot but failed.

As fierce as a tiger, he had no choice but to order a strong attack.Due to the narrow mountain road, it is difficult to start the team, and there is a demeanor that one man is in charge of the other.Meng Ruhu personally led people to attack several times, but in the end he didn't even touch anyone, and many people were killed by stones. Meng Ruhu had no choice but to monitor the movement of "Second Guan Gong" while sending people to report to Xuan Da. Governor Zhang Zongheng asked for help.

This fierce tiger was originally a descendant from outside the Great Wall. Heroism is not prevalent in this family. What is important is that if he is beaten, he will rush forward like a pack of wolves, and if he cannot be beaten, he will flee like a flock of sheep.So he didn't have the idea of ​​fighting to the end, and playing more with less was a big taboo for survival.

That Zhang Zongheng almost scolded his mother when he received a tiger-like plea for help.However, fortunately, he also knew the virtues of his second Tiger General, and for this great achievement, he had to lead a large team to support him.

As a result, Zhang Zongheng had nothing to do when he got there. The road was narrow and people couldn't get up. How could he get down there?

Fortunately, Zhang Zongheng had an idea after observing for a long time.Since the road is impassable, then just don't take the road.

He found that there was a place on the left side of the road with a gentle slope, and although the vegetation was lush, it could still be climbed.

Zhang Zongheng immediately ordered Hu Dawei to lead more than [-] people, with ropes, knives, axes, etc., and while cutting grass and trees to clear the way, he used ropes to string up the soldiers to prevent them from accidentally falling down the mountain.

This method is good, but it is much slower.The officers and soldiers tossed about and it was getting late before they climbed to the top of the mountain.Hu Dawei took the lead, jumped out, shouted: "'Second Guan Gong', don't go! Save your life!" and rushed up.

Sure enough, the rebel army was caught off guard and collapsed at the first touch.Hu Dawei hurriedly led his men in pursuit, but they all ran away before they could be caught.

While Hu Dawei sent someone back to report the letter, he immediately chased and killed him.That Chen Changliang led the messy team and didn't dare to turn back. He ran straight to a high ground behind the mountain, and used the terrain to defend again.

This terrain is not as dangerous as before, Hu Dawei only said that he can try to attack it.As a result, when Hu Dawei led the team approaching, the rebel army remained silent. When Hu Dawei approached, he fired a cannonball and knocked down dozens of officers and soldiers at once.Even Hu Dawei himself was shot through the gauntlet and injured his left arm.

Hu Dawei saw that the righteous army was powerful, so he had to wait for Zhang Zongheng to arrive and attack together.It's just that the mountains are difficult to travel, so Zhang Zongheng had to abandon his horses and come over mountains and ridges by riding as a step.

Fortunately, the terrain in front of the highland is open, which is suitable for Zhang Zongheng to deploy his team.

Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng finally waited for the time to show his strength. He quickly waved the military flag, set up a large formation, and repeatedly wrote to "Second Guan Gong": "Rebellious ministers and traitors, come down quickly and die! Otherwise, wait for my army to attack. , it’s too late to regret it!”

Chen Changbing already knew that he had been "sentenced to death" by the government for no reason, so he laughed and said, "Everyone in the world will surrender, but I will not surrender. Today, Guan Gong is also called king!"

As a result, Hu Dawei, who was as fierce as a tiger, personally led the team and bravely stepped forward, only withstood the two artillery pieces of the rebel army, and then easily attacked the high ground.

Before this fierce tiger and Tiger Dawei had time to be happy, there were only dozens of black iron cannons left on the high ground, and the rest of the rebels escaped from the trail behind the high ground.

The Tiger General was puzzled, and hurriedly went back to report to Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng, Zhang Zongheng hadn't had time to understand what was going on.Suddenly there was a commotion behind him, and it turned out that it was the guard who stayed behind to look after the horse and ran over with injuries all over his body.

Zhang Zongheng's heart skipped a beat, and he heard the guard report: "Junmen, after you left just now, we were besieged by a large number of bandits. Our numbers are too small to resist, and all our horses are lost!"

It turned out that Zhang Shun deliberately used the name of "Second Guan Gong" Chen Changzhu to lead the two or three thousand miscellaneous soldiers to lure Zhang Zongheng to attack, and all the elite were hidden in the mountains.When Zhang Zongheng had no choice but to give up his horse and go to form the formation, Zhang Shun led his men out and captured Zhang Zongheng's horse in one fell swoop.

Poor Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng has strong soldiers and horses, and many generals, but he came all the way from thousands of miles to deliver horses to Zhang Shun.
