Zhang Maolan was shot in the left arm and was bleeding profusely. He no longer had the strength to swing his sword, but he never retreated, but instead rushed towards the thief.

The people who captured the northern city wall were all old thieves, and their combat effectiveness was very strong.

But Zhang Maolan rushed forward regardless of life and death, and the villagers also disregarded their lives and personal protection, and even pressed these old thieves who climbed the city to retreat at a heavy price.

"Zhang Xianzun, remember to raise my son!" A woman shouted loudly and suddenly sprang out. She hugged the waist of an old thief, bit the old thief's arm, and threw herself out of the city wall with all her strength.

Four months ago, the woman's entire family had died at the hands of thieves, and she and her young son were the only ones who hid in a well and escaped, and now they finally avenged their family.

The woman was so tragic that the eyes of the villagers were red, and they all rushed to kill without their lives.

In an instant, the old thieves retreated one after another, and some even jumped off the city wall - the earthen wall of the county town is not high, and if you are lucky enough, you can break your leg at most.

"Reinforcements have arrived, and the thief has fled!"

"The thieves are defeated! Kill! ”

There were shouts from the east city, and then the west and south cities also thundered. Although the battle outside the city could not be seen on the Beicheng side, the morale of the villagers was also greatly boosted, and Zhang Maolan raised his sword and shouted: "Gentlemen, protect the family and defend the country, at this time!" ”

In just a few breaths, the old thieves were all driven off the city walls.

Zhang Maolan was lying on the side of the female wall, and saw that the woman was still moving, as if she was being cushioned by the thief and was alive. He immediately shouted: "Hang the basket quickly and save that sister-in-law!" ”

Here Xiangyong was saving people, and Zhang Maolan ran quickly to the east city wall. Everywhere I passed, I saw that the outside of the city was full of fleeing thieves, and the mountains and fields were all over the place, and there was no edge to be seen.

"Where's the reinforcements?" Zhang Maolan asked.

The county lieutenant was covered in blood, and his injuries were not light, and a doctor was bandaging his wounds. He pointed out of the city and grinned, "Look at the county." ”

Zhang Maolan leaned over and saw that among the countless chaotic armies, two hundred cavalry were chasing the thief leader.

"That's all for reinforcements?" Zhang Maolan was incredulous.

The county lieutenant laughed: "A group of rabble, we can defend the city for several days with three thousand villagers, how can two hundred elite horsemen not break the formation?" ”

Although it is a rabble, there are more than 10,000 people.

If it was replaced by other officers and soldiers, there would be thousands of cavalry, and they did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

Zhang Maolan said with emotion: "I don't know who the leader is, he is so brave that he is a real hero!" I will go to the court to show his merits. ”

The county man in charge of logistics hurriedly rushed over and hurriedly shouted: "County Zun, hurry up and go out of the city to chase the enemy, don't miss the opportunity!" ”

Zhang Maolan really doesn't have any military talent, he just dares to do things more than other magistrates, and said at this moment: "The city gate is blocked by huge stones, and I can't move it for a while." ”

The county said: "The thieves left a lot of ladders, and they can go down the ladders!" ”

Zhang Maolan was just about to speak, when he suddenly saw the cavalry commander outside the city, riding on a horse and shooting arrows with a bow, and shot the thief head to death in the chaos with one arrow. He suddenly became enthusiastic, raised his sword and shouted: "The thief is dead, follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!" ”

Wang Yuan had already thrown away the horse lance, rushed over and turned over and dismounted, and cut off Sun Hu's head with a knife. Then he galloped wildly with his head on his horse, slashed the fleeing thieves along the way, and ordered his cavalry to shout: "The head of the thief is dead, and those who surrender will not die!" ”

"The head of the thief is dead, and those who descend will not die!"

Wherever the cavalry passed, more and more thieves tied their hands and threw away their weapons and chose to surrender on the spot.

They had only been thieves for half a month, and they were physically and mentally exhausted from the siege a few days ago, and they didn't even have the ** to flee for their lives at the moment.

Wang Yuan shouted as he led people to kill the thief's guards.

These guards were all in armor and dressed differently, all of them were old thieves with bloody hands.

Zhu Ying, a eunuch, has been literate and martial arts since he was a child, and he also fantasized about one day going into battle to kill the enemy. Seeing that the thieves were defeated on all fronts, he actually took Wu Liande's brocade guard sentry cavalry and personally waved his army to chase and kill those fleeing thieves, as if he was the general who won the battle.

Zhu Zhi just wants to look up to the sky and roar, he has been in the army for fifteen years as a teenager, and he has never been so hearty today.

Refreshing!

It's so cool!

Two hundred elite horsemen rushed straight to the thief Kou Zhongjun, killing tens of thousands of thieves to collapse and flee, and that kind of heroic feeling made his whole body boil.

Looking at Wang Yuan in front of him, Zhu Zhi only has worship now, what resentment does he have?

Following such a brave general, there is no place in the world!

The battle between the two armies was only in an instant, but it took several hours to pursue the fleeing thief, and it was not until it was dark that Wang Yuan led the army back.

The number of people was counted, and the loss was slight.

When a cavalryman was charging, he was shot by a stray arrow on his horse and fell to his death. A few other cavalrymen were shot by arrows, but because they were wearing armor, they only suffered some skin wounds.

There were no casualties.

Just because Wang Yuan took the lead, charged the battle alone, and charged with 200 cavalry, he had already defeated the oncoming thieves, and the cavalry under his command did not encounter real resistance at all.

The thieves were beheaded countless times, and more than 3,000 were captured.

In the face of such a comparison of battle damages, all the horsemen looked at each other, even more shocked than before, and they all cast fanatical glances at Wang Yuan.

Two hundred cavalry slaughtered more than 10,000 thieves, beheaded countless people, and captured 3,000. Only one of them was killed, and several people were slightly injured.

This crazy record does not need to be exaggerated at all, if it is played truthfully, it will be suspected by the imperial history of lying about military exploits, and even chasing the wind and shadows to impeach them for killing good and risky achievements!

Who will believe it?

From Zhu Zhi, Zhu Cong, Zhu Xiang, to every cavalry under their command, they themselves couldn't believe it.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Zhu Cong slapped himself.

Zhu Xiang originally had a good impression of Wang Yuan because of the competition and archery, and at this moment he directly turned into a die-hard fan. He looked at Wang Yuan obsessively, as if he was staring at his lover, and said sincerely: "If Wang Yushi is not a civil official, and he commands the cavalry specifically for His Majesty, I will be willing to lead the horse and pedal him." ”

"Hehe, Wang Erlang, the white-clothed flying general, really lives up to his reputation." Zhu Cong smiled a little embarrassed, after all, he had always shown hostility before.

Zhu Xiang said: "You have been in Jingying, so naturally you don't know how precious Xiao will be." My eldest brother and I were transferred from Xuanda by Liu Gong, and we have encountered a lot of pickled things. If Wang Yushi can preside over the affairs of border towns, how can the little Mongolian prince dare to enter the palace year after year? ”

"The second brother is right." Zhu Cong actually didn't think so, because the Ming border trouble was not a matter of lacking a strong general at all.

Between the two of them talking, Zhu Zhi suddenly walked up to Wang Yuan, knelt directly on his knees, and bowed: "Wang Yushi, I was wrong before, and I shouldn't complain about you for no reason." I'm completely convinced this time, where do you point in the future, I will never say half a word! ”

"Brother Zhu is serious, please hurry up, this is not my credit alone." Wang Yuan smiled and helped Zhu Zhi up.

It's really not a scene, if there is no help from the three cavalry commanders, it will not be possible to change the formation of the enemy at all, and it will inevitably be mixed with the anti-thief cavalry. Even if Wang Yuan stood out on a single horse, it would be impossible to defeat the spearmen in the formation, and two hundred cavalry must follow the charge.

After this good show of harmony, the eunuch Zhu Yingcai led Wu Liande over, hugged his fists and said: "Congratulations to Wang Yushi, this immortal miracle!" ”

"Without Zhu Jianjun's central dispatch, I would have run out of food halfway, how did the miracle work be established together." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Zhu Ying likes to listen to this kind of compliment, and even suddenly had a thought: If I follow Wang Erlang to fight a few more battles, I can also become a battlefield general, and in the future, I can lead an army alone, and I can be the eunuch of the Three Treasures in the world!

The two praised each other for a few words, and Wang Yuan looked worried: "It's a pity that the six or seven hundred thieves all took advantage of the chaos to escape." If a thief leader is elected, these thieves will sweep through the state and county, and they can quickly coerce tens of thousands of people! ”

"That's true." Zhu Ying echoed.

This is the reason why the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi is difficult to quell, there are too many cavalry against the thieves, and they all run fast, if they are not eradicated, they will definitely resurge.

Zhu Ying saw that the sky was dark, frowned and said angrily: "The magistrate of this place is so lazy, he still doesn't come to welcome me into the city!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Maolan escorting two truckloads of grain and grass out of the city, hugged her fists and said: "Generals, thank you for risking your life to rescue." But there are too many trivial affairs, and the blocked city gate has just been opened, and there is a place for negligence to look at Haihan! ”

Zhu Ying pointed to the two carts of grain and grass: "What about you sending Huazi?" ”

Zhang Maolan explained: "Four months ago, the county was looted by thieves once. It consumes a lot of grain to appease the displaced people, and now they have to settle these captured thieves, and they really can't divide the excess grain and grass. By the way, the contemptible Ren Qiu Zhi County Zhang Maolan, I don't know how many generals have their surnames? ”

Wang Yuan cupped his fists and returned the salute: "The contemptible Hanlin Academy repaired and patrolled the imperial history Wang Yuan." ”

"Jinke Zhuangyuanlang?" Zhang Maolan was surprised.

Wang Yuan smiled and introduced: "This is the brother of Zhu Ying, the imperial horse supervisor. ”

Zhang Maolan glanced at Zhu Ying's fake beard, and her mind couldn't turn around. When he usually saw the eunuchs, he didn't have a good face, but after all, Zhu Ying was the reinforcement who saved the county, so he immediately gave him a full courtesy: "It turned out that the eunuch was in person, and he was polite below." ”

Wang Yuan introduced Wu Liande and his three Zhu sons, and Zhang Maolan's scalp was numb when he heard it.

Good guys, these people are either the champion of the Jinke and the patrol of the imperial history, or the eunuchs, the Jinyi guards and the cavalry commanders of the leopard room, and they can't afford to mess with any of them!

What's even more rare is that these people have noble identities, and they dare to be outnumbered and brave the enemy to break the enemy.

Zhang Maolan felt admiration in her heart, her attitude became more respectful, and she smiled and invited a few people into the city to rest. But at the same time, he also adhered to his principles, and resolutely did not allow 200 cavalry and brocade guards to enter the city, and only sent people to bring wine and food outside the city to make a reward.

A few days later, the leopard room.

The cabinet and the six bigwigs were all recruited, and Zhu Houzhao happily took out the battle report: "Princess, look at the good news ahead." ”

The battle report turned around in the minister's hand, and Qi Qi frowned.

Yang Yiqing reminded: "Your Majesty, two hundred elite cavalry broke more than 10,000 enemies, beheaded countless people, and captured 3,000 prisoners, but one of them was killed and four were slightly injured. This one...... This record is really unbelievable, and I am afraid that it is suspected of being a false report. ”

The ministers said yes one after another.

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Houzhao was in a happy mood today, laughing and throwing out a note: "This is Zhang Maolan's Shangshu from Renqiu Zhi County, and let Jinyiwei bring it back together." I have also heard of the name of 'Zhang Maolan, a clean official in the world', I have heard of it in the leopard room, don't you still believe it? ”

The ministers circulated it again, probably believing it, but they didn't know what to say.

You are a champion, don't you want to be so fierce!

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I have already sent this battle report, together with Zhang Maolan's recital, to order all the armies, so that they can all learn from Wang Erlang!" ”

After the dispatch of the border army into Beizhili, the person who commanded the army had changed, and the military affairs were supervised by the military department squire and the right commander of the imperial history Lu Wan, and he had full authority to command the Jingying, Xuanfu and Yansui official armies.

Lu Wan received the battle report from the emperor, and the pressure was great in an instant.

What the hell is this?
