Chapter 318: After the Famous General (Part II)

Tao Zhutu roared, and the thousand soldiers of the Tiger Battalion followed behind him rushed over like wolves.

The demon thieves were frightened by the roar of the peach and rabbit and suddenly found themselves surrounded on three sides, and it was not just which thief who was the first to shout "There is an ambush!" Then the whole group of thieves lost their direction completely,

Lan Ziyi let out a sigh of relief when he saw this, and the hundred or so good riders who passed through Laibei Town from the east to intercept the demon thieves were finally out of danger.

Lan Ziyi ordered in a loud voice:

"Slow down, don't hit the demon thief anymore!"

The cavalry led by Lan Ziyi immediately slowed down when they heard the order, and even Tao Zhuhu and his five hundred elites turned their horses to break away from contact with the thieves after Lan Ziyi gave the order.

A sergeant asked Lan Ziyi:

"Didn't Wei Hou just let us accelerate the impact? Why did you suddenly stop us from attacking? ”

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi replied:

"I wanted to enter just now to block the retreat of the demon thieves, and now the road for the demon thieves to enter the town from the east has been blocked, if I still put too much pressure on the demon thieves team from the west, so many demon thieves will be forced into the town by us, in that case, the pressure on the brothers who come to the town to seal their mouths will be too great.

Let my third brother lead the team to drive away the demon thief and let the demon thief flee south! Circumference is one of the three ques, and this is the effect you want. “

Sure enough, after Lan Ziyi's side stopped attacking, the panicked demon thief was attacked from the north by Tao Zhutu, and was chased south by the cavalry soldiers of the Jihu Battalion like a flock of sheep.

After the thieves completely fled south and no longer put pressure on the west, Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhuhu once again led their soldiers into the pursuit of the thieves, and the one hundred and ten cavalry soldiers led by the young man who held the bow and shot arrows also came out of the town, and the cavalry on the west, north and east sides converged into a torrent at this time to surround the demon thieves from three sides, the war horses neighed, the scimitars turned electrically, and the demon thieves who fled south were killed and injured under the slaughter of the cavalry and sabers chasing closely behind, and the thieves who fell behind were cut down to the ground one after another, and their heads were different. The thieves who ran in front were frightened by the shouts coming from behind them, and those who dared to look back were distracted by the sabers of the soldiers of the Western Tiger Battalion, and as soon as their legs were weak, they had no chance to turn back and escape.

Those lucky enough to run at the front rushed forward, they were out of breath, they were exhausted, they didn't know how to escape the pursuit that was getting closer and closer, they only knew that they didn't have this group of demon-like cavalry in front of them.

But the demon bandits of the outcasts clearly don't have enough life experience to distinguish between despair and hope, and they don't understand that the glimmer of hope that usually shines in the dark night is usually a well-designed trap, and the life path in front of them is no exception.

Soon, in the rain and fog in front of the thieves' escape path, the figure of the rolling iron horse trampled appeared, and the vibration that made the earth fight for it wiped out the last hope of the thieves, and without the sabre of the soldiers of the Xiji Tiger Battalion, the hearts of these demon thieves had all been shattered.

Tao Zhulu Shuai led his more than 2,000 soldiers to rush from the south with sabers high, just blocking the road ahead of the demon thieves. Now the demon thieves have no way to retreat, and it is too late to turn around, and the desperate demon thieves have lost even the courage to escape, they throw away their weapons and raise their hands in surrender to the officers and soldiers.

More than 2,000 cavalry knights buckled the heads of the thieves like a wall, and the iron hooves and blades slaughtered for a while before the soldiers stopped, and the thieves who escaped by luck were covered with blood and mud, and they stood trembling in the rain, without the appearance of human beings.

Although the demon thieves surrendered, the battlefield was not safe, and Lan Ziyi was tightly guarded by Tao Zhutu and a circle of soldiers of the Tiger Battalion to patrol the battlefield in the middle. Lan Ziyi ordered Tao Zhuhu to immediately count his casualties, and by the way, the number of resurrected demon thieves was also counted, and then Lan Ziyi and his guards went to Tao Zhulu's side.

After a long pause, he wiped off his saber and put it back into its sheath, and then ordered his men to escort the prisoners and count the number of prisoners. After seeing Lan Ziyi coming, Tao Zhulu hurriedly hugged his fists and said:

"The end will be too late, and I ask the Marquis of Wei to forgive my sins."

Lan Ziyi stopped next to Tao Zhulu and asked:

"Second brother, don't be so polite, although you came later than I planned, but just in time to block the thief's escape, there is no sin at all.

But second brother, did you come so late because you encountered any difficulties just now? “

Tao Zhulu put down his hand and said:

"I did encounter a difficult situation, because the paddy fields on the south side of the road were much wider than I had imagined, and my brothers and I walked through the mud for a long time before we reached the dry ground."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi glanced down at the hooves of the horse of Tao Zhulu, although the road was full of stagnant water just now, the legs of Tao Zhulu's war horse were still wrapped in a thick layer of mud.

Lan Ziyi raised his head and said with a smile:

"Third brother, you can come so fast after wading through such a deep quagmire, it's already a god speed.

It's just that after you stepped on it just now, these fields can be regarded as completely wasted, and when the war is over, the imperial court will have to provide good relief to the victims. “

Tao Zhulu owes a debt and whispers to Lan Ziyi:

"Young master, I paid attention to the crops in the field when I passed by just now, most of them are waterlogged......

Lan Ziyi frowned when he heard the words and didn't speak again, half of Dazheng south of the river has been raining continuously for a long time, and the fields here are flooded, and other places will not be much better. is suffering from military disasters, there are floods, and there has been no rain in the land of Jiangbei for a long time, it is estimated that there will be a drought again this year, even if Lan Ziyi and they spend the effort of Niu Erhu to exterminate the demon thief, how can the remaining mess be solved by the imperial court?

The peach chasing rabbit on the side won the battle today, and he has been very excited since just now, he didn't notice that Lan Ziyi, who was worried about the country and the people, had a change in his face, and still said to Lan Ziyi in a loud voice:

"Young master, we really won a battle today!"

Lan Ziyi was screamed by the peach chasing rabbit, and after a while, he felt that the demon thief was not extinguished now, and it was not the time to think about disaster relief later. So Lan Ziyi also changed his mood, and replied with a smile:

"It was a winning battle, and it was a thrilling victory. Just now, third brother, you came from the north in time, which really solved my urgent need! ”

Tao Zhutu scratched his head embarrassedly and said:

"I just rushed over in time according to the young master's arrangement, I don't want the second brother here, it's all paddy fields, and it's not much trouble to get out of the river embankment a little closer.

If you want to say that the key to winning the battle today, it is the kid who led the team to block the road just now. I see that the hundreds and dozens of people under him are wearing the armor of the Xiji Tiger Battalion, and I don't know what this kid is about. “

A soldier next to Lan Ziyi heard the words and said:

"I glanced at the brothers who had been sent here to the east last night after joining forces just now. It stands to reason that their station is this town of Laibei, but for some reason they followed the young general. “

As soon as the sergeant's voice fell, a crisp voice replied in a loud voice:

"Because I happened to meet these soldiers who had returned from the west after leaving Beijing today, I took them with me."

Everyone looked for prestige, only to see a young man riding a horse towards Lan Ziyi. The boy looked to be about the same age as Tao Zhulu, he was dressed in a robe, wrapped in a robe, without a helmet, and a simple pair of crotch armor hung on his clothes. This person has fair skin, slightly chubby cheeks, and looks like a son, but his eyes are similar to the sharp light of Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers, and there is no prodigal spirit of those noble sons that Lan Ziyi has seen in the poetry club.

As soon as he thought of the poetry club, Lan Ziyi felt as if he had seen this person before, Lan Ziyi tried to recall the children of various powerful people that Cui Hao introduced to him before, but he didn't have the impression of this person at all, could it be that Lan Ziyi remembered it wrong?

Whether I remember it or not, now that the army is in chaos, it is not a normal thing for such a young man to casually pull the Jingying cavalry to fight, so Lan Ziyi asked:

"Officers and soldiers are the minions of the country, no matter how big this son is, he can't just sneak around the streets with the sergeants, right?"

As he spoke, Lan Ziyi glared at the sergeant who was following the horse with a fierce look, so that those people couldn't raise their heads.

The boy on the opposite horse showed a sunny smile when he heard this, he tilted his head sideways, reached into his arms and took out a stack of papers, and then threw it to Lan Ziyi in the air, and said:

"Wei Hou, when you were in the poetry club, you were very gentle, and you are like two people with your current ruthless appearance."

The clerk turned a few heels in the air and came to Lan Ziyi, Tao Zhulu stretched out his hand to stop the paperwork, and Tao Zhutu pointed to the opposite side and said viciously:

"Presumptuous!"

Lan Ziyi looked at the casual look of the person opposite with his chin raised, and said in his heart that this person was really a member of the Poetry Society, and then Lan Ziyi opened the hardcover paperwork, which was the appointment document of the military subordinates, and the boy in front of him was the newly appointed battalion to join the army.

Lan Ziyi carefully examined the last seal of the paperwork, and then muttered the name of the newly appointed soldier, "Zhang Yanwu." “

The boy on the other side heard that his arms were like crane wings, and he arched his hand and said:

"In the next Zhang Wang's only grandson Zhang Yanwu, the army department was dispatched, and he went to the battalion to serve as a member of the army, and I have seen the Marquis of Wei."

The sergeants who followed Zhang Yanwu hurriedly explained:

"Wei Hou, we also followed him after seeing Zhang Shenjun's documents."

Lan Ziyi closed the paperwork and handed it to a sergeant next to him, and motioned for the sergeant to send it to the other side.

Lan Ziyi thought for a while and teased:

"Empty White Fang, how do I know you're not impersonating?"

Zhang Yanwu put down his hand and snorted:

"When I saw my grandfather, it was naturally clear."

At this time, Lan Ziyi arched his hand in return, and then asked:

"Listening to what Zhang Gongzi said just now, we met in the poetry club."

When Zhang Yanwu heard this, his eyes were slightly lonely when he looked elsewhere, and he replied:

"I've seen Wei Hou, Wei Hou hasn't seen me, I'm sitting in the corner."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Why?"

Zhang Yanwu waved his hand and said:

"The military general's background is despised, even if I was born in the capital and grew up in Jiangnan."

Lan Ziyi's brows twitched when he heard this, if Zhang Wang's grandson was despised in the capital, then Cui Hao would be really uneasy and kind to Lan Ziyi so politely.
