Chapter 159: The Capture of Texas

Zhu Bin has never been so embarrassed in his life. For three whole days, he barely rested for an hour every day, and the cavalry of Wuyi was like maggots attached to the bones, chasing him to the death, and recently, both sides could see each other's faces clearly. Wave after wave of guards turned back to intercept him, but it only allowed him to run a little longer and then before he could see the enemy again.

His own guards are gone, but the enemies who are chasing him have not decreased much.

Less than five miles away from Decheng, the seat of Dezhou, Zhu Bin, who was sleepy and lacking horses, was finally caught up by Tu Lichun, and Zhu Bin, who was less than ten horsemen, was already exhausted.

Li Ze was also exhausted, swaying on the horse, only feeling a hot pain in the inner thighs, and there must be worn out there without looking.

Although he has been practicing equestrianism diligently all these years, and his horse skills are quite good, it is still the first time for him to travel hundreds of miles in such a high-intensity row. In the past three days, there was hardly much time to rest, only when the war horse could not support it, this was a little sharp, eat something, Xiao Mi for a while, as long as the horse eased up, he got on the horse and chased wildly.

Although I was extremely tired, I was in a very happy mood.

All the worries, the fears, the fatigues, are taken over by the great rewards that are about to come.

There were only more than 100 horsemen who surrounded Zhu Bin, and the rest had already rushed directly to Dezhou City. Shi Zhuang, Chen Changping and others are among them. And more than 2,000 foot soldiers, it is expected that they will be able to arrive in Texas City in one day.

Unlike the cavalry, who followed Zhu Bin to chase left and right, the foot soldiers were dedicated to going straight into Texas City, so they were only one day behind the cavalry. This is thanks to Shen Congxing, Chen Bing, and Chu Sheng some time ago, they practiced soldiers and horses with their dead strength, and the physical strength of the soldiers was fully guaranteed. Once they have regained their strength, they have rejoined the marching ranks.

This army, which was still black, swept across the land of Texas like a whirlwind, and only hit the capital of Texas.

"Li Ze, why be aggressive?" Zhu Bin raised his voice and shouted. After three days of escaping, he finally completely figured out the identity of the other party's hand, and Zhu Jun, who had concealed important information, quietly slipped away yesterday, which made Zhu Bin even more hateful.

"What does it mean to be aggressive?" Li Ze said with a smile. "Henghai first betrayed the three alliances, and then took advantage of the fire to rob and try to rob me of the foundation of Chengde, and ended up today, do you still complain?"

"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!" Zhu Bin said loudly. "Why do you need to kill them all?"

Li Ze laughed: "Since you led the army into the land of my Chengde, you and I have been immortal, what do you ask me for?" Hahaha, I want your head. Texas is now under my control, what do I want, why should you give it to me, can't I take it myself? ”

Li Ze said so decisively, Zhu Bin was shocked and angry: "Li Ze Xiaoer, dare to do this? Across the sea, I will never let you go. Even if you kill me, Texas City is not something you can take. ”

"A dead man, why bother so much!" Li Ze sneered and waved his hand, Tu Lichun raised his horse chopping knife, and more than 100 horsemen and horses immediately pounced forward.

Poor Zhu Bin has been spanning his life, and he still didn't die well in bed, after he was cut under the horse by Tu Lichun, the remaining dozen horsemen lost their souls, and they died under the Wuyi cavalry in an instant.

A cavalryman cut off Zhu Bin's head, and just like that, he stuck it on the tip of the horse chopping knife, and the group rushed towards the direction of Texas City.

Decheng is the capital of Texas, even if Zhu Bin has taken away most of the soldiers and horses, there are still enough soldiers and horses to guard the office. In Zhu Bin's opinion, two thousand foot soldiers are more than enough.

But no one thought that this time it was a matter of ten fingers taking a snail and nine out of ten, but there was a big problem, and what was more serious was that after the incident, Zhu Bin fled wildly, Li Ze chased after him, and between the two sides running, the speed was much faster than the speed of news transmission. So much so that hundreds of Li Ze's cavalry have already arrived in the city of Dezhou, and the city of Dezhou is still full of people, just like in the past.

It wasn't until the soldiers on duty above the city saw the smoke and dust raised by hundreds of cavalry and saw the big Li flag fluttering in the smoke and dust that they realized that something was wrong.

The alarm bell rang for a long time, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and in Texas City, the vigilance measures were actually quite good, but at this time, it was too late.

Because at the east gate where the cavalry rushed, a large caravan was blocking the gate of the city at the moment and preparing to enter the city, and the carriages were entering the city in turn, and the east gate was originally the main gate of Texas, and there were many people entering and leaving the city.

Hearing the alarm bells and bugles, the soldiers defending the city wanted to close the city gates, but where could they do it? The panicked people scurried around, some to the city, some to the outside of the city, their bodies were squeezed to the ground, countless pairs of big feet stepped around, and in a moment there was no sound.

In a panic, the officers in the city had no choice but to pull up the drawbridge first.

The suspension bridge slowly rose, and the people who were still running on the suspension bridge suddenly fell into the moat like dumplings. There are also many people who climb on the suspension bridge and call loudly, there are more people climbing on it, the suspension bridge is much heavier than usual, and they are eager to pull it up, but where can they?

And at this moment, there was a sudden change in the cave of the city gate. The caravan guys who were blocking the city gate suddenly pulled out a horizontal knife from the cargo on the cart and slashed at the soldiers, and the cross-sea soldiers who were caught off guard suddenly fell to the ground.

Someone ran out of the hole in the city gate, threw the horizontal knife at the people who climbed on the suspension bridge, and several guys who took the horizontal knife, went down with a few knives, and cut the rope of the suspension bridge, and with a bang, the suspension bridge that had not been pulled half of it fell back again.

In the cave of the city gate, the men of the caravan jumped into the carriage and drove the carriage directly towards the city, rushing a group of soldiers running towards the city, and the caravan men jumped out of the carriage and fought with these people with horizontal swords.

Where did the officers in the city not know about the inner ghost at this time? But at this time, there is no other way, the drawbridge can't be pulled, and there is a fierce battle taking place in the area of the city gate, looking at the speed of the other party, it is impossible to resist the enemy outside the city gate.

"Come with me to the city gates!" He roared, and ran towards the city with his shield and sword.

If the enemy can be blocked in the hole in the city gate, there is still a glimmer of hope in Texas City.

Shi Zhuang took the lead, rushed across the suspension bridge, and rushed through the city gate cave. Behind him, Chen Changping and the mermaid rushed in. The Henghai officer, who had just led the team to assemble at the city gate, had just had time to raise his sword and roar, but Chen Changping shot through his throat and fell to the ground, dead completely. The assembled army was rushed by the cavalry, and it was scattered in an instant.

Li Ze has been operating in the Henghai area for many years, and today he has finally played a huge role. So that he only used a few hundred cavalry to capture this fortified state city.

"Chen Changping, take a hundred people and seize the Texas Thorn Mansion."

"Li Mi, take a hundred people and occupy the treasury."

"Li Hao, take fifty people and guard the city gate."

"For the rest, follow me to the barracks!"

As soon as he entered the city, Shi Zhuang gave a series of orders, and each team of men and horses, led by the people of Yixingtang in the city, hundreds of cavalry divided into three groups, and rushed towards their respective goals.

At this time, on the streets of the inner city of Texas, hundreds of people were stunned to see the wolf-like cavalry galloping wildly, and the thoughts turned fast and immediately pounced on the shops or alleys on both sides, and the thoughts turned a little slower, and they were knocked to the ground by the war horses, and were trampled by the hooves of countless war horses in an instant, and they didn't know why they died.

At this time, Shi Zhuang and the others did not hesitate. There are still one or two thousand soldiers in the city, if they don't take it immediately before the other party comes to their senses, maybe they will let the other party organize themselves to resist stubbornly, this is the enemy's state capital, and they only have a few hundred cavalry, and their number is too small.

After a pillar of incense, more than 100 other horsemen led by Li Ze and Tu Lichun also entered the city from the east gate at a gallop.

By the time it got dark, the city of Texas was quiet.

The barracks were breached, Shi Zhuang and the others did not have the slightest softness, and killed the soldiers left in the city by Henghai.

The Texas Thorn Mansion has changed hands, Zhu Bin's family members have all been detained, the yard is full of copied goods, looking at the piles of copper coins, gold bricks, silver ingots, and jade ware, it is Li Ze, and they all feel a little dazzled. Li Mi was directing the soldiers to pack these things into bags, and then stacked them on the car one by one.

"Childe, after a rough inventory, the floating wealth of the Texas Thorn Mansion family is worth millions of dollars." Li Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but she was originally just a little girl doll who went around the rivers and lakes to sell solutions, when had she ever seen so much money in her life?

"Sure enough, the robbery came quickly!" Li Ze muttered in his heart, picked up a jade hairpin from a pile of jade jewelry, and stuck it on Li Yu's head.

"Childe, the treasury has been counted, and we have made a fortune." Chen Changping rushed over, but after seeing these treasures in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"How much?" Li Ze asked.

"It doesn't seem like there's as much as here." Chen Changping pointed to the mountains of things in the courtyard and shrugged his shoulders.

"The treasury of a state, there are not as many private properties as the history of assassination, damn it, if you don't collapse, who will collapse!" Li Ze sneered.

While speaking, Shi Zhuang also rode over.

"Childe, we don't have enough troops, so we can only control the east gate, and the other three city gates, all of which have people in the city fleeing outside."

"Let them flee, as long as the rich don't flee." Li Ze smiled: "Shi Zhuang, take your people and knock on the door for me one by one." ”
