Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 64 0061 [Xiang Qingtian]

Zhu Zongdao shot the second arrow indiscriminately, then retracted his bow and raised his gun, and rushed forward on his horse.

In his mind, this kind of messy new recruits were not even as good as the miscellaneous soldiers he used to rebel.He rode forward, followed by the brave old thief, and he was sure to crush the opponent to pieces.

"what!"

There was a scream, and this random arrow hit an unlucky guy at random.

But Ju Ming's side was too chaotic, he only knew to rush forward, and he didn't even know who was shot.The deterrent force created by this arrow is not as good as the previous one.

Zhu Zongdao rushed forward brazenly, and the pot cover hand in the front row was so frightened that he turned around and fled. It was exactly as he expected.

Those archers holding moso bamboo, the cowardly also dropped the bamboo to escape, while the brave raised the bamboo and poked wildly.

Zhu Zongdao's goal is Zhu Ming, who made Zhu Ming choose to rush to the front alone in order to boost morale?

Seeing a shot coming, but still far away, Zhu Ming dodged to the side, so he wouldn't be so stupid as to confront him head-on.When Zhu Zongdao's spear came out, Zhu Ming had fled two meters away, crawling back and forth to pick up the bamboo thrown away by the archer.

Although the archer fled a lot, there were still more than a dozen moso bamboos left, with forked sharp branches, struggling to stab Zhu Zongdao.

There was no need for Zhu Zongdao to react, the horse under his crotch would automatically slow down, not daring to hit those sharp objects.

Relying on the spear in his hand, Zhu Zongdao lightly clamped the horse's belly forward.What happened next was a bit beyond his imagination, the bamboos were too long, and he couldn't bear it at all.

Shooting a few bamboos in a row, Zhu Zongdao was thrown into a panic, and the head of the horse under his crotch was scratched by the bamboo branch.

In desperation, Zhu Zongdao could only rein in his horse and retreat to join more than 20 subordinates behind him.

"The thief is defeated!"

Zhu Ming finally picked up a bamboo, and shouted at the top of his voice, "If you kill the leader of the rebels, the county magistrate will reward you three times!"

"kill!"

Hearing that there was a bounty, and there were as many as three rounds, the archers' morale was instantly boosted, and they picked up the guy and rushed forward desperately.

Even those rout soldiers who hadn't 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 his hands are messy, and he has everything. The pot cover hand has already thrown away the pot cover, and picks up the ones thrown by the deserters nearby.

Zhu Zongdao only had more than 20 people. Although all of them had excellent weapons, most of them were short weapons.

When the two sides fought, the three-meter-long bamboo was called a magic weapon, and the archers who fought with bamboo were like gods descending from the earth.At the beginning, it was just stabbing randomly, and when it became crazy, it began to sweep left and right. Once the sharp branches branched out, once it hit the enemy's face, it could make several bloody gashes.

Those years-old thieves capsized in the gutter, and were instantly stunned by this rascal's style of play.

They swung their knives and slashed, but it didn't work. Within a minute, all of them had wounds on their faces.

An old thief was so enraged that he raised his left arm to cover his face, and rushed across the moso bamboo formation desperately.The archer holding a pike, a simple knife, and a pole in the back immediately raised his weapon and poked it out.

What a tragedy, the old thief who rushed in first was instantly hit by two poles, two simple knives, and a spear.

He died on the spot!

Zhu Zongdao saw that his scalp was numb, knowing that he could not win today, he quickly issued a retreat order: "The wind is blowing, follow me out of the city!"

This guy ran away with a horse, and the old thief under his command also fled.

"The thieves are defeated! Go!"

Zhu Ming shouted again, threw away the bamboo, drew out his sword, and chased after him.

Dozens of archers rushed to catch up with enthusiasm, all kinds of weapons were waiting for them in turn, and several old thieves didn't even know how they died.

Fortunately, they have just joined the army, and they haven't learned how to cut off their heads to ask for credit. If one is killed, they will chase the next one.

Zhu Ming's pursuit was the fastest, he slashed out with his sword, and made a bloody cut on the thief's back.Then he continued to chase regardless, and the thief was injured and fell down, and was beaten to death by the following archers.

Zhu Zongdao accelerated his horse and turned his head to check the situation. He felt that his subordinates would not be spared, so he had to endure his grief and anger and escape alone.

"Da da da da!"

It was Chen Ziyi who received a call for help at the side door, and left his men to chase after him alone.

Seeing that Zhu Zongdao had fled far away, he didn't care to meet Zhu Ming, so he rushed south and rushed into an alley.

This guy is a libertine who often plays in the county town and knows the conditions of the streets and alleys by heart.

Based on the direction Zhu Zongdao was escaping from, Chen Ziyi guessed that he was going to escape from Ximen.So he took a shortcut all the way, passing through several small alleys in a row, and even reached the west gate before the enemy.

Chen Ziyi yelled at the gate guards: "The magistrate has an order to close the city gate!"

The doorman did not act, but looked at Chen Ziyi suspiciously. They obviously knew this prodigal son.

Chen Ziyi was a little speechless. He knew that he had a bad reputation. He was usually a fool, and his words were not credible at critical times.

Seeing Zhu Zongdao galloping towards him on horseback, Chen Ziyi didn't bother to waste any more words, bent his bow and set up an arrow and began to aim.

This fellow also brought his own bow and arrow!
It's a pity that although his riding skills are excellent, his archery skills are not good enough, so Zhu Zongdao easily dodged him.

"Straight mother thief, take your life quickly!"

Chen Ziyi withdrew his bow and arrow, and charged his horse with his gun.

Seeing someone blocking the way ahead, Zhu Zongdao raised his spear and urged the horse to speed up.

Very standard generals singled out, but unfortunately one is a bandit and the other is a libertine.

Between the two riders, Zhu Zongdao poked out with his spear. He had only been practicing riding for a few months, and it was already very good to be able to do this.

I saw Chen Ziyi's body turned sideways and disappeared on the horse's back in an instant, which was exactly the "hiding in the stirrups" performed that day.At the same time, with the speed of sprinting, he gently handed out the spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear accurately hit Zhu Zongdao's waist.

Zhu Zongdao lost his balance and immediately fell to the ground.

He was thrown into a dizzy state, and just as he was struggling to get up, Chen Ziyi had already ridden back and pierced his neck with a gun.

Master Zhu, who had done a lot of bad things, died so simply and neatly.

Chen Ziyi jumped off the horse, walked to the corpse and squatted down, drew out the short knife and began to cut off the head.He was not proficient in this skill, and he got stuck when he cut the bone, so he could only pull it back and forth like sawing wood, and the wound was bloody and bloody.

"vomit!"

Chen Ziyi made himself so sick, 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, and used his hair as a rope to tie his head to his spear.

Then he got on his horse and deliberately walked forward slowly.

It's like a fisherman catching a big fish, carrying fish weighing dozens of catties, and riding a battery car all over the street to show off.

Chen Ziyi's body rose and fell with the horse's back, and the head of the spear also kept shaking.Wherever it passed, passers-by ran away in panic, and looked back strangely after running far.

"Master Zhu Zongdao colluded with thieves and bandits to cause rebellion and raised private soldiers in order to rebel. I was ordered by the county magistrate to kill him..." Chen Ziyi held his head high and boasted of his great achievements.

"Good kill!"

"Chen Dalang is very skilled!"

"Chen Dalang eliminates harm for the people, he is a hero!"

"..."

The people in the city were no longer afraid, and they praised it one by one.

It is not easy to replace civil servants, but the archers of the county Weisi can be free. Zhu Zongdao has replaced most of the archers with his own people.

These guys were originally rebels, and they became policemen and urban management, and they have already made people suffer.

All the evil deeds they did were counted by the people in Zhuzhu's book.At this moment, Zhu Zhuzhu was arrested and killed, why is everyone not happy?

Hearing the common people praised him, Chen Ziyi's mouth was crooked on the spot as if he had eaten honey, and he was holding a long gun, all over his body, and clapped his hands left and right to the neighbors on both sides of the road.

Suddenly, the fellow asked loudly: "Am I a hero?"

"It's a hero! It's a hero!" The common people shouted frantically.

Chen Ziyi asked again: "Am I a libertine?"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed, this label may be difficult to remove.

At this moment, Zhu Ming led his troops to chase after him. Seeing that Chen Ziyi looked like a dog, he immediately sat down and rested dumbfoundingly.

Chen Ziyi hurriedly stepped forward, adding fuel and jealousy: "Brother Zhu, I had expected that this thief would flee to the west gate. I immediately crossed the streets and took a shortcut, and stopped him at the west gate. He took out his bow and arrow again, and he was terrified with one shot. Then he rode his horse and fought fifty rounds with the thief. But he said that this birdman was born as a rebel, and his marksmanship was very good. With one move, he went out to sea and killed me by surprise. .I'm not a vegetarian either, so I jumped over the dragon's gate with a backhand..."

Zhu Ming rolled his eyes when he heard this, but the archers admired him, and they all felt that Chen Dalang was a hero.

Chen Ziyi couldn't stop talking, and began to restore the scene one by one, and more and more people listened to his bragging.

Zhang Guangdao was in charge of surrounding the back door of Zhu's house, which was the farthest from the battle site. When he arrived with his troops, Chen Ziyi had already talked about the second round of No.30.

"Damn!"

Staring at the head of the gun, Zhang Guangdao gritted his teeth.

When it came to the No.40 round, Zhu Ming couldn't listen anymore, and shouted: "Chen Dutou, the county venerable is still waiting for news, hurry up and take the head and return."

Chen Ziyi was a little bit reluctant, and said to the neighbors: "Everyone, neighbors, let's go and report today, and I will finish talking another day!"

"Go together, go together!" The crowd cheered.

Countless people followed the farewell, and even those ordinary archers felt that their faces were bright, and they straightened their waists and walked in stride.

Xiang Zhixian was waiting anxiously, and the bow soldiers hadn't returned to report yet, several of his followers had already rushed to report.

Hearing that Zhu Zongdao was dead, he smiled at the county magistrate with his hands behind his back, looking like a worldly expert: "I made a clever plan, and the thieves and bandits were caught by hand. You wait and follow me to meet the strong men."

The two sides met near the county government.

After eradicating the scourge of Master Zhu, the common people thought that the county magistrate was a good official, cheered and praised, and shouted to the sky.

Xiang Qingtian was so happy that he couldn't find Bei, his body was a few kilograms lighter, and he felt like he was in a trance.

Eliminating harm for the people, helping the common people, no matter how greedy and stupid officials are, they also like this feeling, and they are addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves.

When Xiang Qingtian was almost happy, Zhu Ming went forward to salute and said, "Master Xian, all the thieves have been killed, and none of them was released. Two of our soldiers were injured, both of whom were injured by the bow and arrows of the head of the thieves."

Xiang Zhixian laughed heartily: "This is a great victory, and there will be great rewards!"

Zhu Ming said again: "The bandit head escaped on horseback, fortunately Chen Dutou pursued and intercepted him. Chen Dutou was superb in martial arts, and he killed the thief head alone!"

The magistrate stepped forward to hold Chen Ziyi's hand, and exclaimed: "Little Xixiang County, there are such warriors."

Chen Ziyi was talkative at first, but now he didn't know how to deal with it, so he kept grinning silly.

A magistrate and a prodigal son have both become heroes, which can be said to complement each other.

Zhu Ming came to Xiangzhi County and whispered in a low voice: "Zhu's family has been surrounded, and my subordinates made the decision without authorization and asked the archers to search for prohibited items. There is not much property, and the bandits may have another lair. There are two thieves, injured If captured alive, the county lord can personally interrogate him."

Xiang Zhixian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted Zhu Ming's arm and said, "If there is something to gain, your benefit will be indispensable."
