The second salvo of the three guns was far more accurate than the first round, and it directly collapsed most of the city tower above the south gate, and even collapsed the military heart of the thieves defending the city!

At this time, there was a great chaos on the entire southern city wall, and the 10,000 thieves stationed here had completely lost their command, and they were in chaos at the head of the city, for fear that the next shelling of the Yushan Town guards would hit them.

Ye Zongliu was so angry that he repeatedly commanded his henchmen and thieves to control the situation, but it was ineffective, and the chaos in the city even intensified.

At this moment, Wang Neng rushed to the south city wall with a team of guards, and after finding Ye Zongliu, he said loudly: "Great King! I can't hold it anymore, let's go! ”

Ye Zongliu looked at the chaotic city wall, gritted his teeth and said, "The rabble, insufficient and conspiracy!" ”

After speaking, Ye Zongliu left the south city wall without looking back under the escort of Wang Neng.

At this time, in addition to the more than 10,000 elite soldiers who had remained in the city, Wang Neng also urgently transferred thousands of thieves from the eastern, western, and northern city walls, and reorganized 20,000 horses.

After Ye Zongliu and Wang Neng returned to the city, they immediately led 20,000 horses and horses to rush out of Mengyin County from the north gate and fled towards Changshan in the northeast of Mengyin County.

At the same time, Liu Juntao also received an urgent report from Tanma, and learned that Ye Zongliu and Wang Neng had led their troops to abandon the city and fled, sighed, and said: "This Ye Zongliu is so ruthless!" directly left tens of thousands of subordinates, this strong man's determination to break his wrist is really resolute! ”

Zhang Xiaojun and Zhou Zongsheng were both anxious, and the two asked for battle again and again.

Liu Juntao looked at the chaotic thieves on the southern city wall, and said: "Our troops are limited, if we divide our troops to chase Ye Zongliu, we will definitely not be able to calm the chaos in the city as soon as possible, and it will be the people in the city who will suffer at that time!" Perhaps, Ye Zongliu also left this thought, and wanted to use these tens of thousands of rout soldiers to drag us down! ”

Zhou Zongsheng said eagerly: "Mr. Lian! That can't let Ye Zongliu go! If it really doesn't work, I will only take a total of people to chase after me, and I will definitely cut off the head left by Ye Zongliu! ”

Zhang Xiaojun also said: "Mr. Lian, you must not let the tiger return to the mountain!" ”

Liu Juntao pondered for a while, and then said, "That's it! Catch up no matter what! ”

"Yes!"

"That's it!"

"Zhou Zongsheng! You lead your own iron cavalry in pursuit! ”

"Order!"

After that, Liu Juntao said to Zhang Xiaojun: "You lead the men and horses of your headquarters to immediately attack the city of Mengyin County, and all thieves who refuse to surrender will be killed!" ”

Then, Liu Juntao called Bai Yuxing, Tao Jixin and other four Chinese military commanders over and ordered: "You immediately lead the people of your headquarters to block the four gates of Mengyin County, and you can't let a single thief escape from the city!" ”

Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin took the order together.

Soon, the troops of the Yushan Town Guard launched an operation, especially Zhang Xiaojun's department, which launched an attack on Mengyin County with the help of the three artillery.

"Blasting open the gates for me!"

Zhang Xiaojun roared, and the three artillery pieces were aimed at the south gate of Mengyin County, and then began a round of bombardment, which instantly smashed the city gate into pieces.

"Into town!"

Zhang Xiaojun's 2,000 guards swarmed up, with a sentry horse team as the front, and a long knife hand followed closely behind, opening the way for the follow-up main force of men and horses, and the sentry thunder thrower was mixed in the four general bird guns, and after entering the city, they continued to throw earth-shattering thunder to the surrounding thieves and bandits, blowing up the surrounding thieves and robbers.

At the same time, Bai Yuxing, Tao Jixin and other four members of the Central Military Department rushed to the predetermined position with the general and led the troops to the predetermined position, and separately blocked the four city gates in Mengyin County.

Liu Juntao, under the escort of the long knife hand and the horse team, watched outside the south gate that Zhang Xiaojun's headquarters had all rushed into the city, knowing that this battle had been decided, and he was slightly relieved in his heart.

But for getting rid of Ye Zongliu and Wang Neng, Liu Juntao is also 10,000 unwilling in his heart!

"I hope there will be good news from Zhou Zongsheng's side!"

Next to him, Liu Zi'an also saw Liu Juntao's worry and unwillingness, so he said: "Mr. Lian doesn't have to think about it, in this battle, our Yushan Town Escort Team invited thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against the Xu family and Ye Zongliu, and defeated hundreds of thousands of enemies, which can be described as a brilliant result, even if there are some flaws, there is no way to do it, don't worry about it." ”

Liu Juntao shook his head and said, "It seems that we have defeated the Xu family and Ye Zongliu's two families with more than 100,000 people, but what kind of goods are Xu Zhaohui and Ye Zongliu's men?" It's just a rabble, most of them are young and strong people who have been temporarily coerced, and there is really nothing to boast about killing so many people. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Juntao couldn't help but sigh heavily, and said: "If we can't kill Ye Zongliu and Wang Neng, we can't even think of taking down the people who were coerced to death!" ”

Liu Zi'an's expression was also gloomy when he heard this, he shook his head and stopped talking.

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

After Zhou Zongsheng led his troops to set off, he led more than 1,500 cavalry troops all the way to the north, from Mengyin County to the direction of Changshan.

A day later, Zhou Zongsheng's men and horses rushed to the area of Changshan, but what is strange is that there is no trace of a large group of people and horses passing around Changshan.

Zhou Zongsheng was puzzled by this, and hurriedly sent his men to check around, and none of the people in the surrounding villages and towns had seen Ye Zong's remaining thieves pass by, which immediately made Zhou Zongsheng angry.

"Bastard!"

Zhou Zongsheng waved his horsewhip violently and shouted: "This Ye Zongliu! I don't have any skills in fighting, but I have the ability to escape! ”

On the same day, Zhou Zongsheng took the iron cavalry of his department to march all the way east from Changshan, and at the same time expanded the pursuit area several times, but after chasing for two days, he still did not find any trace of Ye Zongliu and Wang Neng's 20,000 thieves.

The 20,000 thieves led by Ye Zongliu and Wang Neng seemed to have evaporated from others, making it impossible for Zhou Zongsheng's troops to find them.

In desperation, Zhou Zongsheng could only lead his troops back to Mengyin County.

When Zhou Zongsheng led his troops into Mengyin County, Liu Juntao had completely controlled the situation in the city, and more than 20,000 thieves and men were captured, all of whom were concentrated in the schoolyard in the city.

Zhang Xiaojun led his troops to take over the city defense of Mengyin County, and one team after another of the guards patrolled the streets, maintaining the security in the city very well.

The big and small officials of Mengyin County have already been poisoned by Ye Zongliu, so Liu Juntao can only ask Liu Zi'an to send someone to inform Qingzhou Mansion that he has recovered Mengyin County and let Qingzhou Mansion send someone to take over the city as soon as possible.

At this time, Liu Juntao saw Zhou Zongsheng who rushed back in frustration in the county office, and said, "Ye Zongliu ran away? ”

Zhou Zongsheng nodded and said, "The subordinates are incompetent!" Please practice the total punishment! ”

Liu Juntao sighed and said: "It's okay, this is also the life of Ye Zong, for the time being, I will write down the life of this thief, I will capture and kill him sooner or later!" ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao remembered something again, and said to Liu Zi'an: "Tell Qingzhou Mansion that Ye Zongliu and Wang Neng escaped with the remnants, please take precautions everywhere!" ”

Liu Zi'an nodded in response, wrote the paperwork on the spot, handed it over to the subordinates who were already waiting next to him, and sent it out.

At this time, Liu Zi'an said: "Mr. Lian, I think that Ye Zongliu should not stay in Qingzhou Mansion anymore, he must have gone elsewhere to make a living!" ”

Liu Juntao was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "That's right! I don't think Ye Zongliu will even be active in Shandong, maybe he has fled south now! ”

Zhou Zongsheng, who was next to him, suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Lian! Then I immediately led my troops to chase after Nanzhili! ”

"No!"

Liu Juntao shook his head and said: "Nanzhili is too sensitive, the people of our Yushan Town can't go over easily, it's already taboo to enter Xuzhou, and we can't go south to other places!" ”

"As for the thieves of the Ye Sect's Liusuo Division, let them flee for their lives!"

"What?"

Zhou Zongsheng still couldn't figure it out, and looked a little anxious.

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "As long as Ye Zong has the courage to appear in Nanzhili, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to conquer him, and he will not live long!" ”
