Chapter 1276: Survive with a broken tail

The scarlet blood, the layers of corpses, the stench rushing towards them, and the frightened look on the corpse before it died, seemed to be an indictment of the injustice of the world.

Looking at this tragic scene, Li Yan closed his eyes in pain, clenched his hands, and let his nails pierce into the palms of his hands, because they were so hard that they pierced the skin, and blood seeped out of his palms drop by drop.

Faced with such a tragic situation, Li Yan knew with his knees that except for Li Zicheng, only people in the entire army had the right to do this kind of thing. It's just that Li Yan can't understand how Li Zicheng, who shouts for heaven all day long, dares to do such an inhuman thing.

"Report!"

A cavalryman panting and riding his horse ran to him, his eyes revealed anger and panic and jumped off the horse, one stumbled and almost fell to the ground, only to see him tremble and say: "General Qiqi, the villain and others ran roughly around Jiading City, and found that there were no living people in the entire Jiading City." ”

"Li Zicheng!"

When Li Yan opened his eyes again, his eyes were already bloodshot and turned red.

"I won't kill you, and I won't be a man."

After saying that, he turned around sharply and said, "Pass the order, and the whole army will immediately force the march." Tell Cao Yingmao again that he must keep harassing Li Zicheng, and if he is allowed to run away, the official will ask him! ”

"Whoa!"

Beside a small river less than thirty miles away from Wu County, the normally quiet river was now very lively, countless war horses were either drawing water by the river or burying their heads in the essence mixed with grass and soybeans given by their masters, and many cavalrymen were also resting with their armor.

"If you let Li Zicheng run away, you will ask me?"

Cao Yingmao looked at the cavalry who came to give the order with some surprise.

"Exactly."

The cavalryman said loudly: "This is what General Li said himself. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Cao Yingmao asked in surprise: "He knows Li Yan, he is a chivalrous person, and he is also very polite to people on weekdays, so he can say such things to himself, the old man of the Jiangning Army, which shows how angry he was in his heart at that time." ”

The herald sighed and said in a low voice, "The thieves slaughtered Jiading County before leaving. ”

"What, you say it again?"

"Jiading County was slaughtered by thieves." The herald spoke quickly.

After receiving the news confirmed by the herald, Cao Yingmao was stunned for a long time, his face gradually turned red and blue, and finally said word by word: "The official ordered that the whole army set off in two quarters of an hour, and the target was Wu County." ”

Just when Li Yan was chasing at full speed with 5,000 cavalry and 4,000 foot soldiers, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin had already led their troops and horses to Wu County to make peace with Li Laiheng.

"Leaving now?"

Li Laiheng looked at Li Zicheng with some surprise, it is less than an hour before Li Zicheng enters the city, which is equivalent to saying that Li Zicheng only made a short stop and left after entering the city, which is too fast, right?

"Yes, Brother Laiheng, we must leave immediately, otherwise it will be too late." Li Zicheng didn't talk nonsense to him, but said in a firm tone.

"Why is that?"

Li Laiheng still didn't understand.

"King Chuang, I still have a lot of things to do here, and it will take two or three days at the earliest."

"If I ask you to prepare, where are you going to prepare so much nonsense, don't you plan to recognize me as the king?" Li Zicheng made a straight face.

"I ......"

Seeing that Li Laiheng still wanted to say more, Liu Zongmin on the side hurriedly pulled him aside and told him the truth of the matter in a low voice.

"What...... King Chuang slaughtered Jiading County? ”

Rao is Li Laiheng is also a habitual bandit who has been on the run for several years, and he can't help but be taken aback.

When he came back to his senses, his face sank, and he glared at Liu Zongmin angrily and said: "King Chuang is crazy, you are also crazy, and you still claim to be a rebel, if this matter spreads, our reputation will be over, who will want to take refuge in us in the future?" ”

"I said Brother Laiheng, what are you afraid of?" Liu Zongmin said unhappily: "What do you know, we just want to tell the government that they don't let us live, we won't let them live, which annoys us, and every time we go to a place where it is convenient to kill all the people there, I want to see, is the court afraid?" ”

"Crazy...... It's all crazy......"

Li Laiheng sat on the stool and was stunned for a while before sighing: "I know, King Chuang must have expected that if this matter was known by Jiang Ningjun, he would definitely go crazy, and if he didn't leave, it would be too late." ”

"If you know, it's good."

Liu Zongmin snorted lightly: "After taking these three counties this time, the grain, gold and silver in our hands have been replenished to a certain extent, and they are not as embarrassed as a few days ago, as long as we take Suzhou Mansion again, the entire Jiangnan will be shaken, and then we can even ask the imperial court to recruit us, and then we can return to our hometown in a beautiful manner." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zongmin showed a sly look on his face.

After this period of looting, he has robbed enough gold and silver treasures that he will not spend for the rest of his life, and let his second brother Liu Zongliang hide these treasures that he has robbed, as long as the court makes a move, he can complete a gorgeous turn, from a rogue to an official army of the court, even if he can't become an official and be dismissed by the court, he can also comfortably return to his hometown to buy a field and be a rich man, which is much better than continuing to be a rogue who licks blood with a knife head.

Li Laiheng naturally didn't know the little abacus in Liu Zongmin's heart, he thought about it and sighed: "That's it, this kind of thing must not be hidden, presumably Jiang Ningjun has already caught up, if he continues to stay, he can only wait for death." Without further ado, let's go right away. ”

In less than an hour, tens of thousands of troops divided into two routes and marched towards Suzhou Mansion, and when Cao Yingmao led the cavalry to arrive, all they saw was a county town full of desolation.

Seeing that the rogue had left, Cao Yingmao just said coldly: "Catch up and kill all these beasts that have exterminated human nature." ”

As a cavalry team, Cao Yingspear was naturally very fast, and in less than two hours, he bit the tail of the rogue, and after a battle, he quickly defeated this rogue of less than a thousand people, and then began to chase after it.

In the face of Cao Yingmao's pursuit, Li Zicheng, Li Laiheng, Liu Zongmin and others resorted to the trick of surviving, constantly sending small troops to block, or hundreds or thousands.

Although most of these blocking teams were wiped out, it was like this as the sky began to get dark......
