Chapter 258: Heavy casualties
Since Yuan Ba knew that the cave was burned, it was pointless for him to stay here to contain the official army, so he led his men to break away from the official army and escape into the mountains and forests, and these officers and soldiers were frightened by Yuan Ba's killing and did not dare to pursue at all.
Tian Zhuang, who was still entangled with the official army, saw Yuan Ba leave, and immediately realized that something was wrong with this cave, and hurriedly left with his subordinates.
Chen Quan saw that the bandits on horseback had left, so he naturally knew that they had fled, and that he, the captain, had not exterminated the bandits and had been killed by the bandits.
At this time, Chen Quan and Tian Zhuang and his gang were also leaving, this Chen Quan naturally couldn't let them go easily, as long as he caught them and captured the leading bandit alive, he would be considered a great achievement this time, and the charge of losing soldiers and generals could also be offended, and then Chen Quan personally led troops to encircle and suppress Tian Zhuang and them.
Tian Zhuang at this time with thirty or forty men and fight and retreat, towards the mountains and forests, they are not like Yuan Ba's group of people have BMWs, a group of people want to go away, the officers and soldiers want to stop and can't stop, they only have two legs, although the officers and soldiers are only two legs, but there are many officers and soldiers, they gradually surrounded Tian Zhuang and his group, although the combat strength of the officers and soldiers is worried, even if there are many officers and soldiers in the head-on duel, he is not afraid, but this leading captain is not a straw bag, and he keeps consuming Tian Zhuang and his group with arrows.
Tian Zhuang saw that the brothers on the side kept falling, and he was also very anxious in his heart, and directly rushed to the surrounding officers and soldiers with his knife and sacrificed his life, wanting to fight a bloody way.
As soon as this officer and army saw Tian Zhuang and his gang rushing over, they were terrified, and now more than 100 people were killed and wounded by 800 officers and soldiers, and this Tian Zhuang alone killed more than 10 people, and his bravery was abnormal, which made the officers and soldiers tremble.
Chen Quan saw that the officials and soldiers were a little timid, and immediately encouraged: "Kill one person, reward 20 taels of silver, capture the leader alive, reward 100 taels of silver, brothers, don't be afraid, there are many of us, and they will be defeated as soon as they rush up." ”
As soon as the officers and soldiers heard that there was a reward for silver, they might not be able to earn a hundred taels in their lives, this silver was in front of them, how could they just give up, and then the officers and soldiers took turns with big knives and rushed towards Tian Zhuang and his party.
Tian Zhuang naturally would not be afraid, he drew his knife and fought back and forth in the official army, and instantly fell seven or eight officers and soldiers, but after all, the official army was outnumbered, but it took a long time to kill the bandits on Tian Zhuang's side one by one, of course, the officers and soldiers also suffered heavy losses, and the combat power of the bandits in the battle of the trapped beasts was unimaginable.
In the blink of an eye, this battle was also coming to an end, Tian Zhuang gradually couldn't parry because of his lack of physical strength, and the wounds on him gradually increased, thanks to this Chen Quan said that capturing him alive was worth a hundred taels of silver, and the officers and soldiers did not kill him, otherwise they would definitely be hacked to death with a knife. In the end, Tian Zhuang was physically exhausted and was captured alive by the officers and soldiers.
Chen Quan only stepped forward at this time, as a general, he never faced the battle in person, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to say it, but he didn't care, after all, his life was the most important, and the ultimate credit for this was his.
Chen Quan looked at Tian Zhuang and said with a smile: "Haha, you thief is very brave, but now you are still defeated in my hands, haha." ”
Chen Quan took the credit for capturing Tian Zhuang at once
On his own, although his soldiers were a little unhappy, they didn't say anything, after all, he was a Shangguan, as long as the silver was given to the rest, it didn't matter.
Tian Zhuang's eyes widened angrily, as if he was going to eat him, and then said coldly: "Who sent you here?" Do you know who I am? When Chen Quan heard this, he said angrily: "Hmph, who sent Captain Bendu to report to you?" Say, "Who else is in your party?" Where are the bandits who just rode their horses now? ”
Tian Zhuang glanced at Chen Quan, took a mouthful of phlegm on Chen Quan's armor, and then said coldly: "Your grandfather, I just don't say it, today you killed our village, they won't let you go, you just wait to die." ”
When Chen Quan heard that he thought that those remnants would come to take revenge on him, he laughed and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your remnants to take my life, and I'll wait for the big fight in the camp." Then he said to the officers and soldiers on the side: "Hurry up and give him back to Yunzhou, I will interrogate him personally, and the rest of the bandits who are injured but not dead will be escorted back." ”
Chen Quan ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and take away all the corpses of the bandits, these are all his credits, and he naturally has to bring them back to let the officials and people of Yunzhou see.
At this time, He Ren led Zhang Xian to rush back, and Chen Quan immediately stepped forward and asked urgently: "Master He, has Miss Ma found it?" ”
Chen Quan's purpose this time is to rescue Miss Ma, this matter was jointly instructed by Du Shaofu and Deng Heguang, if he didn't rescue Miss Ma, then he came for nothing this time, even if he exterminated the bandits, his credit would have to be greatly discounted.
He Ren looked around and hurriedly said, "What's the matter, Lin Mo and Miss Ma didn't come back?" No, they left the cave before we did, so they didn't get here yet. ”
As soon as Chen Quan heard this, he immediately ordered people to go down and let people look for Lin Mo and them, just as this matter was spread far away, several figures slowly appeared in front of everyone, and He Ren saw that it was Lin Mo and they immediately greeted him, and said with excitement: "Lin Mo, you are finally back, I thought something happened to you." ”
Lin Mo looked at the surroundings and said, "I finally got through it." Then he fell to the ground in front of him, He Ren hurriedly stepped forward to help, this stretched out his hand, and now there is a wound on Lin Mo's back, and the blood has stained his clothes red, I don't know when he was injured, Ma Ruoyan immediately panicked and exclaimed: "Lin Mo"
Zhao Pu tore off Lin Mo's clothes and looked at them carefully, and then said, "Miss Ma, don't worry, this injury is not serious, but there is more bleeding, and I haven't rested since yesterday, so I fainted." Ma Ruoyan was relieved when she heard this, and then she fell to the ground in the darkness in front of her eyes and fainted. Ma Ruoyan also did not rest and did not take a drop of water, a weak woman has relied on perseverance to hold on until now, and now that she is finally safe, she finally relaxed and fainted.
Seeing this, He Ren hurriedly asked people to help carry Lin Mo and Ma Ruoya to the boat together, and then returned to Yunzhou with Zhang Xian, while Zhao Pu and Chen Quan cleaned up the battlefield together, as well as looking for the corpses of their brothers, and came out this time
Even himself, a total of twenty-two people came, and now seven or eight people have been injured and two have died, and nearly half of the casualties have made Zhao Pu sad.
He led his brothers to silently wrap the bodies of his dead brothers in cloth, and then carried them back to Chennan. Chen Quan still admires Zhao Pu and the others very much, after all, the head catcher of a county government has some officials, and it is really extraordinary to be able to rescue Miss Ma Jia among so many bandits.
Chen Quan offered to let Zhao Pu come to himself, ask him for credit, and ensure that he was a brigade commander, a brigade of 100 people, and he entered the grade, Zhao Pu was also promoted, but Zhao Pu refused, he just wanted to take the brothers back to Qiannan now, as for what credit he didn't want to fight for at all, his brother was gone, and he didn't care how much gold and silver he gave.
After Zhao Pu left with his brothers, Chen Quan asked his subordinates to count the final situation of the bandits, when he saw the final casualties, Chen Quan couldn't help but be surprised, this time he brought 800 officers and soldiers and killed more than 200 people, and the collected bandit corpses totaled 50 and 10 seriously injured alive, the bandits suffered 60 casualties, that is, 200 people were replaced by 60 people, such a number made Chen Quan, a person who didn't care about the life or death of his subordinates, also a little frightened.
What makes Chen Quan even more unacceptable is that it took such a large casualty to exterminate some of the bandits, and if the gang at least did not leave, I am afraid that the casualties of the officers and soldiers would have to double. Such a result and the performance of the bandits made Chen Quan wonder who these bandits were, Chen Quan felt that they were definitely not ordinary bandits.
Chen Quan came to the cave where the bandits were hiding, the cave had been burned, some broken weapons had been released, and there were no valuable clues at all, Chen Quan finally left disappointed.
He Ren drove the boat and took Lin Mo to Yunzhou, and then found a carriage and took Lin Mo and they went directly to Lu Qingya, Lu Qingya was woken up by He Ren in the middle of the night, and he was still a little puzzled, but when he saw that Lin Mo was injured, he didn't talk much nonsense, so he immediately put Lin Mo on it, and then cleaned his wound for him, put herbs on it, and asked Fang Han to decoction a few pills, and gave Lin Mo to take, and then looked at Ma Ruoya, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't worry, Lin Mo's injury is not serious, just take a good look at it, Miss Ma Jia fainted after being hungry for a long time and tired, so she went back to rest and recuperate for a few days. Zhang Xian and He Ren breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Zhang Xian took Ma Ruoyan and left and went straight to the mansion, while He Ren stayed with Lin Mo.
Du Shaofu, Ma Zhiyuan and others have been waiting anxiously in the palace, just in case, after they sent the silver, they secretly sent someone to drive a small boat to follow the boat behind the silver, but they didn't see the thief who took the silver, they thought that the thief knew the plan so they didn't take it, and they couldn't help but worry in their hearts, although Meng Wenzhao said that the official army had been dispatched, but Du Shaofu really didn't believe in the garrison of Yunzhou, these garrisons had not really fought, and they had been comfortable in Yunzhou for a long time, I am afraid that they had no combat power.
Several people were overjoyed when they learned that Zhang Xian led Ma Ruoya back, and when they saw Ma Ruoyan fall into a coma, Ma Zhiyuan asked anxiously: "How is Ruoya?" How can you pass out? Zhang Xian said simply, a few people here
was relieved, and then Du Shaofu asked about the situation of the bandits, and Zhang Xian simply told him about the process of suppressing the bandits, of course, he didn't say much about some things.
