Chapter 124: Yuzhou's Great Victory

After separating from Lan Ziyi, Tao Zhuhu and Wei Qionglou drove the horses to turn around and go south.

The three of them had thought that the thieves would break up and there would be no resistance along the way, but what made them a headache was where to place so many horses.

Thousands of people drove nearly 100,000 horses, even with peach chasing tiger and peach chasing deer, which is long in the border pass, it is very difficult to drive it, and by the way, the equipment thrown away before is also recovered.

There were certainly many more soldiers than the thieves who drove the horses away, and there were still not enough people scattered around the horses.

After they drove the horses out of the mountains and forests northwest of Yuzhou, they saw that the fire in the city was getting smaller, and all three of them thought that they should drive the horses to the city first and wait until dawn.

But the people drove their horses and walked not far to the city, and found that there were thieves fighting with the officers and soldiers near the northeast corner of the city.

The black light blinded the fire, and the moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, but I felt that the thieves over there said too much, and said a lot less

After a short discussion between the three of them, they thought that the battle between this gang of thieves and the official army was obviously in a stalemate, and the official army was in an offensive state.

It stands to reason that the thieves have been defeated, and this group of people must have been caught up in the battle of the trapped beasts in the corner of the city.

At this time, if you drive the horses to rush over and step on them, you can trample this gang of thieves to death.

So the three of them drove the horses to the southeast.

Unexpectedly, the thieves who were halfway through the road suddenly lit torches to block the way, and the south of the horses suddenly appeared and the thieves forced up from the right side.

Although they were surprised by the ambush, they were not too surprised, they wanted to drive the horses directly over, anyway, there are many horses on their side,

Unexpectedly, the thieves erected all kinds of long poles, spears or something in front of the formation, and torches were tied to the ends, and there were more than two people high outside the formation.

The torches are very densely pierced, and they look like a wall of fire,

The horses were frightened when they saw the torches, and they did not dare to rush forward no matter how much they beat and drove them away, so they stopped.

As soon as the horses slowed down, the thieves who were lying in ambush on the west side of the peach tiger stretched out their torches and caught up behind the horses.

Only then did the three of them realize that they were surrounded on three sides, and the battle just now was just a trick to lure the enemy.

But now that the herd has stopped, it's easier said than done.

Tao Zhuhu thought that the thieves who were surrounded by the thieves were going to kill the horses, but what made Tao Zhuhu happy was that the thieves were just moving the horses, the horses recognized life, and they were afraid of fire, and the thieves had no experience in setting horses, so the situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

They wanted to make the horses turn around but were blocked by their own horses, the thieves gradually advanced, and the space left for them became smaller and smaller, and there were thieves galloping in the distance who wanted to seal the gap between the peach and the tiger and their escape in the north, and the situation was urgent.

At this time, hundreds of elite horsemen suddenly rushed out of the northwest mountains and forests that they ran out just now, and rushed straight to the thieves who surrounded them in the north.

This just disrupted the rhythm of the thieves' arrangement of troops, Tao Zhuhu, Tao Zhulu and Wei Qionglou took the opportunity to pass through the horses to the north on behalf of the people, and the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion on all sides drove hard, and finally drove the horses, nearly 100,000 horses under the leadership of Tao Zhuhu and their direct rush to the north of the military town of the thieves, invincible, the thieves did not form a ranks, but the stragglers were brave, and those who dared to stand in front of the horses were all trampled on the ground and crushed into meat paste.

After rushing into the thief formation, Tao Zhuhu found that the two hundred knights led by Lan Ziyi were surrounded by thieves, and his third brother had just been cut off his horse by a thief warrior.

Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu were furious, took the bow and shot, Wei Qionglou raised his long lance and stabbed away.

This thief is brave, and it took a lot of cavalry to kill him.

The thieves in the north all took this warrior as their courage, and after this man was killed, the thieves completely lost the courage to fight, and fled in all directions under the trampling of the horses.

But behind him is a herd of galloping horses, where can the thieves flee?

In a short period of time, nearly 10,000 thieves were trampled at the feet of the horses, and more than half of them were trampled to death and injured.

Lan Ziyi and his subordinates were stopped by the thieves and trapped in the formation, if they hadn't arrived in time, they would definitely have died here.

Tao Zhutu and the other landed soldiers hurriedly changed horses, joined forces with Tao Zhuhu and them, and broke through with the horses all the way.

Lan Ziyi saw the peach chasing the rabbit and got on the horse, and asked in a remote voice:

"General Rabbit, are you hurt?"

Peach Rabbit simply bandaged the wound on his leg on his horse, and replied:

"Skin trauma, it's fine."

Tao Zhuhu rode his horse to Tao Zhutu's side, checked that the wound was okay, and said to Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou, don't do this again in the future, it's too dangerous."

Lan Ziyi nodded embarrassedly and said:

"In the future, I will never risk my life again, General Zhutu almost died just now."

Then Lan Ziyi asked:

"How did you get the horses out?"

Tao Zhuhu told himself about his general experience,

Wei Qionglou on the side was lying on the horse, just recovered from the shock of falling off the horse, and said:

"Thanks to the Wei Hou for disturbing the thieves, otherwise we wouldn't know how to get out today."

At this time, many soldiers of the Jihu battalion had driven the horses out of the encirclement.

The troops surrounded by thieves on three sides did not lasso a few horses at all after a long time, and when the horses ran up, the few horses that were encircled also ran together, which can be described as a thankless effort.

Seeing Lan Ziyi and their horses driven away, except for the thieves who blocked the march in the southeast, the thieves from three sides formed a line and chased them from the south.

Lan Ziyi looked back and saw the thief who was pressing behind and ordered:

"The armies hasten, let's run out."

But unexpectedly, the horses under his command did not grow significantly, Lan Ziyi asked angrily:

"Why stagnation? In such a slow way, he is about to be caught up by the thieves. ”

On the side, Tao Zhulu looked at his war horse, looked back at the horses, and said:

"Wei Hou, the horses have been running for a night, and just now they hit twice in a row, trampling nearly 10,000 people to death, and they can't run anymore."

Hearing Tao Zhulu say this, Lan Ziyi also looked down at his war horse,

His horse has been running for so long, and he has rushed into the thief formation to fight for several rounds just now, and now he is panting and sweating profusely, and he may fall to the ground at any time.

Lan Ziyi frowned and bit his lip and asked:

"Otherwise, if we turn around and charge the thieves again, so many horses will definitely trample most of the thieves to death."

桃淚虎 says:

"It's hard for so many horses to turn around, and when we try our best to make the horses turn around and speed up again, the thieves will already catch up with us."

There were also soldiers of the Jihu Battalion shouting:

"The thieves also use long weapons to tie the torches, trees, and fire walls, and we can't get any benefits when we turn around."

Wei Qionglou interjected:

"Fortunately, the thieves just want to catch the horses, so we just slip away, and I don't believe that the thieves are not tired of running."

At this time, a sharp-eyed sergeant pointed to the west and said:

"Look, there's a thief over there."

When everyone heard the reputation, they saw several thieves guarding one person rushing down the mountain forest from the west on the way to Lan Ziyi and them, and went straight to the thief array.

The man who was being protected was wearing only a single coat and a cloak to keep out the cold, and it could be seen that the man was still wearing a bandage on his shoulders and his entire left arm was hanging from his chest.

Lan Ziyi was surprised and said:

"Lei Youde!"

Tao Zhutu looked at it and gritted his teeth and said:

"I didn't expect this guy to go back to recuperate, and he still had the courage to come."

Wei Qionglou asked:

"Didn't you just go after him?"

Lan Ziyi simply talked about the process of chasing and killing just now and the matter of rushing back to rescue Wei Qionglou, thinking that this Lei Youde was really the pillar of the thief, and he actually came up with it.

Then Lan Ziyi said:

"That's not good."

Wei Qionglou asked:

"Why did Wei Hou say this."

Lan Ziyi was about to answer, but there were soldiers from the Jihu Battalion shouting:

"The thief has released his arrow."

Looking back, although the thieves were still pursuing, they changed their bows and crossbows and spears, attacking the horses indiscriminately, and the horses running behind and the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion were more successful.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyi yelled:

"Hurry up, hurry up and get the horses."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of thunder on the city wall, but how could there be a sound of thunder on the city wall?

No, it's not thunder, it's cannonball.

Thinking of this, Lan Ziyi hurriedly looked back at the city wall,

Sure enough, after a little flash on the city wall, there was gas smoke,

At that time, Qi Rongxun and Lan Ziyi were separated from Lan Ziyi in the west of the city, so they led the team to patrol the place where the forbidden army was stationed densely.

I was going to find a few people who didn't have long eyes to kill chickens and monkeys, but I didn't expect that the city suddenly caught fire everywhere, and the west gate was wide open, and many thieves poured in.

Qi Rongxun hurriedly organized the chaotic forbidden army to resist,

Fortunately, the number of thieves entering the city was small, and with the support of Qi Rongxun's shotgunners, the organized forbidden army quickly recaptured the west gate and drove the thieves out of the city.

After Qi Rongxun landed in the city, he had a bird's-eye view of the whole city, and wrote down the most violent places in the city, so he arranged for his cronies to reorganize the main force of the chaotic forbidden army, and on the other hand, he took the newly organized forbidden army to extinguish the fire in the city and quell the rebellion.

Later, after connecting with the forbidden army left behind at the north gate and the east gate, he learned about the battle outside the city.

At this time, the forbidden army stationed in the south of the city had been regrouped, and the Shenji battalion had also found Qi Rongxun.

So Qi Rongxun ordered the forbidden infantry to go out of the city from the west gate and gallop north to help.

The Shenji battalion put the Furlong machine and the red-coated cannon on the city wall and supported it to the north.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Jihu Battalion carried a red-coated cannon together, shouting a neat trumpet and striving forward, and the sergeants followed behind them with gunpowder and shells, and everyone rushed to the north gate with all their strength.

As soon as they arrived in the north of the city, they saw that the horses driven by Lan Ziyi and them were about to be overtaken, so they set up a red-clothed cannon on the battlement of the city wall and fired at the thieves.

The cannonball whistled out and fell into the dense area of the thieves and bounced again, jumping several times in a row to kill a bloody path in the bandits' array.

The thieves were already afraid of shelling, but this time the newly activated red-coated cannon was much more powerful than the Furlong machine, and the limbs were splashed in all directions.

The thieves have been defeated once, and now they have been fighting for a long time, and their physical strength is overdrawn, and they are about to collapse.

The thief general Lei Youde saw that the general trend was gone, and he couldn't even kill the horse.

So he commanded desperately in the thief array, and reluctantly led people to retreat westward,

At this time, the drums of the west of the city came, and the main force of the forbidden infantry lined up in a neat formation, with long spears and bows and crossbows coming towards the thieves.

This became the last weighing stone that crushed the thief,

Under such pressure, the thieves finally collapsed, and the whole army was scattered.

Lan Ziyi and the others were finally able to stop the horses and enjoy the spectacular scene of the thieves being surrounded and killed.

The battle was finally won.
