Surprising!

Even Li Guo, who had been marching and fighting for many years and led five thousand elite horsemen to pursue all the way, was also beaten by Zu Dashou unexpectedly.

It wasn't "hitting", but he was unexpectedly caught off guard.

Originally, he was going to lead the troops all the way to Shanhaiguan, and stopped them before the "Emperor of the Zhu Family" entered Shanhaiguan, but he didn't expect that the other party would turn around and flee to the south while running.

"Didn't they divide their troops?"

Li Guo instinctively felt that the other party must be confused, they had all fled so far to the east, how could they flee to the south again?

"General Hui, no!"

No......

How is this possible?

Staring at the east, Li Guo calculated in his heart, his five thousand cavalry soldiers were divided into three routes, and two thousand forwards had been following closely, one thousand and five in the middle and one thousand and five in the rear, their speed was different, some were fast and some were slow, but they could travel day and night, and he had already made up his mind to exhaust each other.

After all, it is impossible for both men and horses to advance day and night, but he has many soldiers, and he can pursue day and night, and he also ordered his subordinates to lead 20,000 troops to rush over from the rear.

In two days at most, you can catch up with them.

But now Zu Dashou has been dismantled to the south.

Why didn't he go to Shanhaiguan?

To the south? What's in the South?

Shanhaiguan is the first pass in the world, and there are elite border troops.

For a while, Li Guo was even a little difficult to decide. The brigade is easy to chase, but the question is, where is the emperor?

The emperor is in the city......

Again, holding a telescope and observing the billowing smoke and dust more than ten miles away, thinking of the Liukou brigade in the smoke, Zu Dashou's heart was full of bitterness.

Your mother, you really have an iron heart!

"I don't know how Zhangjiawan is doing?" ，

Just when Zu Dashou was muttering in his heart, he saw several horsemen rushing over to report.

"Uncle, the three generals have taken down Zhangjiawan? There are more than 100 large and small ships on the dock? Now they have all been taken by the three generals, and the boatmen are ready. ”

Heard? Zu Dashou was pleasantly surprised.

"Good! Fast? Hurry up! ”

After that, he raised his whip and whipped the war horse vigorously, escorting the carriage towards Zhangjiawan.

As the de facto terminus of the North Canal? For many years, Zhangjiawan has been an extremely prosperous land and water wharf, although the East captives have burned Zhangjiawan into a red ground? And the news of the raid of the rogues? It even made the local officials abandon India and flee, but for some reason, the thieves didn't send people to occupy Zhangjiawan at all, but? This also gave Zu Mingsan a chance? When he appeared here with more than 100 horsemen, he immediately requisitioned the ships.

Requisition, of course, is not for nothing, but for ...... Silver!

"I bought all these boats, one hundred taels for the big boat and ten taels for the small boat......

In a hurry? Zu Mingsan didn't rob it, but directly smashed the silver? Not because he is an official soldier, but because he ...... He won't make a boat, huh? Of course, they are also afraid that these boatmen will jump off the boat halfway, when the time comes? But is it really called every day? and the earth is no longer spiritual.

The safest way is to throw money at it.

Is the charm of silver endless? For the common people, they may not know what an official is and what a thief is, but as long as someone has enough money, then the rest of the things will be easy to do.

It was only an hour's work, and these ships were crowded with withdrawn men and horses. Zu Dashou and his entourage also rushed over, directly on the boat, after getting on the boat, he did not hesitate, directly let the boatman support the boat offshore, when he left, on the dock in Zhangjiawan did not even leave a sampan for the thieves.

About half an hour after they left Zhangjiawan, the Dashun army that had been chasing all the way finally arrived, looking at the empty Zhangjiawan and suddenly dumbfounded, they really didn't expect that the other party would actually get on the boat here.

"General ......"

"Scatter three hundred pleasure boats, go to find the boat, and the successors will follow, and immediately pursue them by boat! The others followed! ”

Li Guo's face looked extremely ugly, he never thought that Zu Dashou turned back to the south, it was actually for the sake of taking a boat, the boat is not a horse, I don't know how tired!

As long as the other party is on the boat, you can travel all the way down the canal to the south day and night, and as long as you work for a few days, you can get to Shandong, what should you do then?

"Chase! Catch up! ”

Li Guo did not hesitate at all, as soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, he chased along the canal, the horse must have run faster than the boat, but after half an hour's effort, Li Guo, who led more than 2,000 cavalry to chase after him, finally caught up with this fleet.

But after catching up with the other party, everyone was dumbfounded, and Li Guo stared at this fleet even more breathlessly - a fleet of more than 100 large and small ships, supported by the boatman, steadily going down the river, the fleet is located in the middle of the canal, as for the canal, it is not wide, but only about 30 zhang.

Counting the ship's shore, it is only fifteen zhang offshore, but it is only a dozen zhang away, but it seems to be close to the end of the world, so that the people on the shore can't reach it, and they can't beat it.

They rode horses, but they couldn't water!

Is it possible to watch each other leave so dumbfounded?

They stared at the people on the boat, and the people on the boat were also staring at them, and the family members of these ancestral families were not idle, they had already loaded the flintlock with guns, just waiting for the other party to get closer.

"Bring the arrows!"

Just as Li Guo shouted to take arrows from the saddle, Zu Dashou, who was standing on the roof of the cabin, shouted.

"Release!"

The moment the order was given, accompanied by a continuous sound of gunpowder, a cloud of gunpowder smoke immediately gushed out of the boat, in the deafening sound of gunpowder, the bank of the canal just caught up with the rogue immediately fell down, just picked up the bow, Li Guo, who had not had time to quickly open the bow, listened to the oncoming whistling, instinctively dodged the moment, only felt that there was a hot current pasting his felt hat, and the red tassels on the top of the hat swayed from time to time

Looking at the guards twenty paces away, they were instantly put down by five or six. A cloud of blood mist burst out of everyone's chest, and the seven-dollar gun easily pierced through the armor on his body, and black blood gushed out along the bullet holes in the cloth armor, and some people's bodies were even penetrated, tearing out a piece of flesh from behind.

The war horses that were originally panting, because the target was large, it was easier to become a target, the guns tore at their flesh and skin, smashed the bones, tore the flesh and blood, and in the blood mist, hundreds of war horses either fell, or jumped away screaming, and at the same time as the war horses were shot and fell, the people on horseback also fell to the ground.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. The officers and men who did not react in a hurry all stared at the still smoking guns on the ship with round eyes, and they were all stunned......
