More than a dozen sentinels wearing leather armor and various weapons on their saddles were trotting along an official road that crossed the woods, and they looked around vigilantly as they advanced, and their right hands were also on the handle of the knife at their waists.

After they came out of the woods, they came to a large open area, and at this time, the vigilance on the faces of the sentinels relaxed a little, and one of the sentry chiefs at the head sighed, turned his head and said to his companions behind him: "Okay, twenty miles ahead is Ning Guofu, everyone, ......."

"Bang ......"

Before the sentry could finish his words, with a crisp sound of fire, a mist of blood erupted from the sentry's chest, and the whole person shook the horse twice before falling heavily from the horse's back like a heavy sack.

The sound of the fiery guns seemed to be a signal, and then the sound of the fiery guns rang out one after another, and more than half of the more than ten detectives who followed behind were caught off guard and soon fell.

However, the remaining outposts were worthy of the elite of the rogues, and in just a few seconds, they reacted, and one by one they turned their horses and ran towards the way they came.

When these sentry posts fled, more than a dozen people stood in the bushes more than a hundred paces in front, these people were wearing steel half-body armor, steel helmets on their heads, and Nimi rifles in their hands.

Seeing the rogues fleeing, one of the chiefs did not lead anyone to chase after him, frowned and said, "Brothers, go up and search those people, and then go back to report to the general." ”

"......"

"What, you found the rogue's outpost twenty miles away from us?"

Cao Yingmao, who received the report, was nervous, as soon as he received the order from Grandpa Guo, he discovered the whereabouts of the Liukou detective post without collecting it at night. And it came from the direction of Anqing Mansion, which is very likely to be the rogue who escaped from Anqing Mansion.

After hearing this news, Cao Yingmao couldn't help frowning, according to the information sent by Grandpa Guo, the number of rogues who escaped was about 3,000 people, and it was not difficult to defeat them, but Grandpa Guo said that what he wanted was total annihilation, which was a little difficult to do.

You must know that the ability of the rogues to fight may be very loose, but the ability to run away with oil on the soles of their feet is first-class, once they find that something is wrong, they will immediately slip away, even if they want to chase it, it is not easy, not to mention that Yang Feng said in the order is to annihilate everything, this difficulty is very great.

"Come on, call Huang Jinsong, Zhang Xingfan, Zou Xiangshui, Wang An and Yu Feng to me."

"Whoa!"

The five people Cao Yingmao said were all the thousand presidents under his command, and soon these five thousand presidents came to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Cao Yingmao didn't talk nonsense, and immediately went straight to the point and showed Yang Feng's order to everyone, and then said: "You have also seen Grandpa Guo's order, his old man asked us to destroy the rogue who escaped from Anqing Mansion, and we must not let anyone slip through the net." And just now, we didn't stop at night, but did it with their outposts inside and out, and now everyone is talking about what to do, right? ”

Several Qian generals also felt the same as Cao Yingmao when he first saw this order, and they frowned one by one.

After a long time, a thousand general manager said with some embarrassment: "General, this is a little difficult to do, you don't know the virtues of those thieves, they run faster than rabbits, not to mention three thousand big living people, even if three thousand rabbits are scattered, it will be difficult for us to catch them all." ”

"What about you, do you think the same way?"

Cao Yingmao looked at a few silent Qian presidents with displeasure, and said with a straight face: "You are now all fourth-grade officials, you eat the food of the grandfather of the country, and you wear the clothes of the grandfather of the country, and now the grandfather of the country asks you to do things, but you want to shirk it, is this still a human thing?"

Now I am not consulting with you, but commanding you. If this errand is not done well, Grandpa Guo will blame you, you will have to take off this skin and go back to Jiangningwei Farm to farm, do any of you want to go now? ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

A few years ago, farming would not have been a bad thing for them.

In the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, it has become an instinct for the military households to farm, but it is rare to fight wars.

But since Yang Feng settled in Jiangningwei, the Jiangning Guardhouse has become the Jiangning Army, and the officers and sergeants of the Guardhouse have also changed from farmers to real soldiers.

A thousand general officers gritted their teeth: "Isn't it just three thousand liukou, we have five thousand people, as long as we can surround them, even if they are heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, they can be wiped out." ”

"Lao Wang is right, the combat power of the thieves is ordinary, as long as they can surround them, these people will be unable to fly."

"Nonsense, we all know this, and now the question is how to surround them."

The group began to argue, and in the midst of the quarrel, a strategy against the rogue began to emerge......

The news that the outpost at the front station encountered the Ming army's failure to collect at night soon reached Tian Jianxiu's ears.

"You mean, you met the Ming army's night and didn't collect it?"

"Yes, Tian Ye, everyone encountered an ambush by the Ming army more than twenty miles away from Ning Guofu, and Boss Bai was killed by the Ming army's fire on the spot, and the brothers were also killed and wounded, but the villain still relied on the horse to quickly pick up a life."

Looking at this still somewhat frightened detective, Tian Jianxiu waved his hand to signal him to step back, and pondered for himself.

Originally, I thought that Ning Guofu had been captured by the righteous army, and the person who took Ning Guofu was Liu Zongmin, who had a good relationship with him, as long as he could make peace with Liu Zongmin, it would be safe, but he didn't expect to encounter the Ming army's night before he arrived at Ning Guofu, does this mean that there is a large group of Ming troops ahead?

"No...... It shouldn't be so coincidental, how could the Ming army run in front of him, it should be just a small group of the Ming army that doesn't collect at night. ”

Tian Jianxiu pondered for a while and made a decision, now that he has come here, if he turns back, he will have to meet with the Jiangning Army's brigade.

To fight with the Jiangning army in the field is to send them to death, besides, he feels that it is unlikely that there is a Ming army brigade in front of him, after all, no matter how powerful the Jiangning army is, it is impossible to fly over his head, and now they are less than fifty miles away from Jiangning Mansion, as long as they work harder, maybe they can spend the night in Jiangning Mansion tonight.

Thinking of this, Tian Mixiu made the decision to move on.
