Chapter 234: Pursuit of the Fugitive Thief
"Don't be barren and talk nonsense, there are only so many horses in the village, do you think I can bring people to fly over, hurry up and chase and kill!"
Liu Ximing saw that the water bandits were running farther and farther, and he couldn't care about talking to Yu Yongkai anymore, so he roared out directly.
This is also what Yu Yongkai took for granted, he was used to seeing Liu Ximing's magic, so he naturally looked forward to it a little more.
How did he know that when the three horsemen sent out before returned to Liujia Village, the village was still having dinner, and when he heard that Hexi Town might be targeted, Liu Ximing gathered the people as soon as he threw his job.
However, Liujia Village is more than 60 miles away from Hexi Town, and if they rely on people alone, it is estimated that Hexi Town will also fall when they arrive.
It was Liu Xi's order to discuss with Mu Jingnan and others, and he rushed over with all the cavalry first, and then transferred a regiment to be brought by Mu Jingnan and others by boat.
With Liu Xi's mobile backpack here, the cavalry troops are light and simple, and they don't need to bring anything except clothes, so that they can arrive in time and give the water bandits a fatal blow at the most critical time.
The first song led by Zhang Jingliang has also reached a stalemate with Shu Yong, the second master of Bailongzhai at this time, although there are not many people in the first song, but there are rejection of horses and bombs, plus Shu Yong and his subordinates are not good at fighting, the two groups of people come and go, but they play a tacit understanding.
But the fugitives from the town broke this balance, Zhang Jingliang stood on the edge of the fort and saw clearly that there were at least a thousand bandits rushing over, so frightened that he shouted loudly: "113 Tun, 114 Tun, retreat in the direction of the fort." ”
The soldiers of these two tuns were also startled when they heard the hurried and chaotic footsteps behind them, and when they heard Zhang Jingliang's order, a group of people hula ran towards the fort at once and gave way to the passage.
Even the rejection of horses and antlers all over the ground could not stop the will of this group of people to flee, and without the obstruction of the Longxiang camp, a group of people moved the rejection horses away with their hands and feet, and continued to face south without looking back like wild horses on the loose.
As soon as Shu Yong and the others saw that these accomplices who were crying for their fathers and mothers had no will to fight, they turned around and ran towards the river.
"Big brother", Shu Yong saw Kong Jin who was supporting Wu Lin at a glance, and surrounded him with a few subordinates.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you, big brother, wake up."
Shu Yong kept patting Wu Lin's cheek as he ran forward, but he saw that the henchman who was supporting him, Kong Jin, shook his head, and said with a choked voice: "The second master, the big boss may be hysterical, so many brothers died in front of his eyes, don't you see it, their firearms are a big piece of it, we ...... Woooooooo ”
Shu Yong was shocked when he heard Kong Jin's words, he looked down at Wu Lin with a stupid expression, this majestic man in the past was so scared stupid?
The few people standing behind Kong Jin had happy faces, and one of them who took the lead glanced at Shu Yong and looked at Wu Lin and Kong Jin with a little ferocity.
Shu Yong's face was instantaneous
turned pale, but he didn't run out a few steps, his gaze gradually became firm, he turned his head to look around, and found that all the people around him were his henchmen, Shu Yong finally made up his mind.
I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, Wu Lin, a bastard, scolds himself as a turtle son every day, now it's really a godsend, as long as you get rid of him, and then gather the scattered people and horses, this white dragon village is my Shu someone's master.
Thinking of the pile of white silver and the little girl with water and spirit left in the village, the wildfire in Shu Yong's heart burned even more vigorously.
While running, he nodded his head slightly at several of his henchmen, and touched his neck with his free left hand, and these people immediately understood.
Kong Jin was still immersed in grief and couldn't extricate himself, but he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and a heart-piercing pain spread all over his body, he looked at Shu Yong and a few people around him in disbelief, and his gradually blurred eyes seemed to see that the big boss's body also softened.
"Shu Lep, you bastard......"
Shu Yong seemed to have unloaded the big stone in his heart, he ignored Kong Jin's scolding, and continued to carry Wu Lin's body forward with a dodge, but the speed of the group became slower and slower, but the people behind him came first.
When they were about to reach the place where the boat had been parked before, he and his group of henchmen directly threw the bodies of Wu Lin and the others into the bushes on the side of the hillside, and the group once again blended into the panicked crowd.
The bandits who were running at the front had already begun to climb the boat with their hands and feet, and the riverside suddenly became lively, and the shallows were crowded with people, and everyone desperately tried to grab the rope ladder on the boat.
Shu Yong had his own henchmen to protect him, and soon overcame the crowd and climbed onto his boat on top of several people's heads.
"Poof", the blades of the cavalry took away the lives one by one, and the blood continued to sway on the slopes in the south of Hexi Town, and the scenery will be more gorgeous in the coming year.
Liu Ximing led the cavalry troops to chase after him, and there were at least four thieves who fell under his saber along the way, which was the result of him being fully protected by others.
However, because of the continuous pursuit, the speed of their group could not be raised, and by the time they chased to the river, the seven ships brought by Shu Yong had already raised their sails.
"Dismount and get ready to fire!"
Liu Ximing would let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately asked everyone to dismount, and found a flat place to take out four fire eagle cannons from the space.
Shu Yong was standing at the stern of the boat and looking back, he couldn't see it clearly in the night, and he was a little strange in his heart, what were these pursuers doing by the river knowing that they couldn't catch up.
He had become a frightened bird, and he desperately urged his subordinates, "Quick, hurry up and start the boat." ”
"Boom"
The fleet had just started here, and the artillery of the Longxiang battalion had finally been loaded, and the ships with torches were like telling people that I was here, and the distance was not far, so several gunners didn't have to aim, straight
Then the guns were aimed at the flotilla and fired.
"Ahh
Heart-rending cries sounded again in the bow of the ship, thousands of iron bullets struck, smashing the deck and sails into thousands of holes, and the sails on the deck and sails suddenly turned from a brutal foot-picking man into a delicate girl, ravaged and torn apart by this stormy barrage, and the moans and roars were endless.
At least hundreds of them were eliminated in this wave, and Liu Ximing couldn't see the battle situation clearly, but it didn't prevent him from estimating in his heart.
Seeing that the ship was getting farther and farther, Liu Ximing hurriedly shouted: "Change the solid bullet and hit the last one!" ”
In a minute's effort, the fleet didn't go far.
A few "booms" were heard, and the six guns on the shore broke out again with a loud sound, and six solid bullets splashed the sawdust of the last ship.
It's a pity that there are no flowering bullets or chain bullets, Liu Ximing watched the last ship go farther and farther away with scars, and he thought of this with regret.
"Let's go, go back to town."
Liu Ximing waved his hand, put all the artillery into the space, and walked back with Lu Dexia and the others, while collecting the wounded and prisoners.
At the port of Hexi Town, the soldiers of the first regiment led by Yu Yongkai began to cry bitterly when Liu Ximing led people to pursue, and after this battle, many brothers could no longer see it.
Many people had already fought to the point of losing their strength, and it was unrealistic to let them pursue them, so Yu Yongkai wiped his tears and whimpered and ordered to find the wounded for treatment.
After a while, Zhang Jingliang also returned to the town with 101 songs, and when he saw the corpses all over the ground in front of the inspection compound, he rushed into the crowd with an anxious face and carefully identified the people who were still alive.
"Brother Kai, thank goodness you're still alive."
In the midst of the heavy shadows, Zhang Jingliang finally found Yu Yongkai's figure, rushed to a bear hug and began to cry bitterly.
"Erzhu, why are you here?"
Hong Erzhu led a group of infantry to chase Liu Ximing and others, and when they ran to the hillside, Shu Yong and other remnants of the defeated generals had already been sent out of the country with the roar of the cannons of the cavalry troops.
Although he was a little curious about where Liu Ximing and the other cavalry got the artillery, but now that the battle had just been completed, there were remnants of soldiers fleeing everywhere, and with the groans of the wounded, Hong Erzhu left this problem behind him a few times, and turned to clean up the battlefield with people.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded again in the streets of Hexi Town, and Liu Ximing returned to the town with a tired cavalry.
"What about the casualties?"
Liu Ximing turned around and dismounted, helped Yu Yongkai carry a wounded person into the inspection compound, and asked him.
Yu Yongkai sobbed and shook his head, "I haven't finished counting yet, but I'm definitely not optimistic." ”
Liang Jun of the infirmary had already taken five young apprentices to treat the wounded in the compound, and when he saw Liu Ximing coming, he was stunned for a moment, nodded as a greeting, and turned his head to continue to work on the work in hand.
