After Fan Yuming was shot by Yao Pingzhong with an arrow, the riot spread among the thieves. Compared with the Western Army, which had been fighting bloody battles in the border towns for a long time, these green forest bandits were very different in terms of the scale of the war they experienced and the strength of the enemy forces they had faced. Soon, some of the thieves shouted and began to retreat, and the rest all retreated, and gradually turned into a rout, until all the thieves ran away with their heads in their hands, and let the western officers and soldiers chase and kill.

Fang Xuedu, who was in the rear, was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect that this officer army was also a well-trained and brave army, not only did the sneak attack fail to cause chaos on the other side, but the other party immediately stopped the counterattack, and the killing generals came out so that their own soldiers and horses were unable to parry at all, Fan Yuming was shot off his horse by an arrow before he could even escape, and now the possibility of defeating this officer army is already very small.

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood.

Fang Xuedu immediately had the idea of retreating in his heart, although he was bound to be blamed by Tian Hu, but as long as he left a life, who could take care of it now?

As Fang Xuedu led more than 1,000 people to turn around and flee, the group of thieves who were fighting in front of them looked around in horror and found that the accomplices around them had not been killed by those fierce officers and soldiers, so they had already turned around and fled. It is impossible to turn the tide of the battle if they are left to resist stubbornly, although it is easier to be slaughtered by the officers and soldiers if they flee together, but if they stay in place, they will die faster!

The defeat was like a mountain.

"Walk ahead and avoid first, and the crossbowman winds up!" Yao Pingzhong saw that the thieves had begun to flee, and while the other party had not escaped from the range, he immediately ordered several teams of crossbowmen under his command to use the Divine Arm Bow, a long-range killing weapon of the Song army.

As a commander of the Western Army shouted like thunder, the next moment, a piercing scream swept into the air, and a puff of black crossbow arrows was like a dense flying locust, and launched a fierce volley at the thief army that was rushing at his back!

A large number of thieves rushed forward like cutting wheat, Yao Pingzhong raised his horse battle long knife, and slashed forward hard, leading his horse infantry army to chase and fight the fleeing thieves!

Fang Xuedu, who was killed and lost his armor and was in a hurry, led the remnants to escape four or five miles away, also because there were still many thieves and infantry behind him as meat shields to block the pursuing officers and soldiers, so it also gave him a little respite.

At this time, Fang Xuedu thought that since he took refuge in Tian Hu, he had been defeated repeatedly by the officers and soldiers with strongmen and horses from all over Hedong, and he seemed to have fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes, and he ran into the most elite troops among the officers and soldiers one after another. He counted the weapons around him gloomily, now there are only more than 300 horse troops and more than 400 infantry troops, thinking of the thousands of men and horses he finally managed, now there are only about 20% left, which also makes Fang Xuedu really want to cry without tears.

What's even worse is that when Fang Xuedu cheered himself up and planned to lead the remnants to flee here quickly, he saw the smoke and dust billowing in front of him, and there was a faint rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and there were a few thieves who urged the horses to flee first, and when they saw the remnants of the men and horses led by Fang Xuedu, they rushed forward again, and reported with a sad face: "Leader Fang, there are two or three thousand officers and soldiers galloping from the official road in the north, and they will arrive here in a long time!" ”

"What !??"

Fang Xuedu exclaimed, he was almost thrown off the horse, and now there are six battalions of wolf-like forbidden troops chasing behind, and there are other officers and soldiers in front of him who have cut off their way, if they abandon their horses and go deep in the mountains and dense forests, there are all soldiers and horses around to pursue and hunt, how can they escape?

It is that there is no way to go to heaven and no door to go to the earth, Fang Xuedu is desperate and frightened, anxious like an ant on a hot pot all the time. At this time, he suddenly remembered that when he and Fan Yuming went to win over the green forest soldiers and horses of the Taihang Mountain Chain Village, they had also met those leaders in the Taihang Mountain Village by virtue of the acquaintances in the rivers and lakes.

Although Fan Yuming's words were inappropriate before, he was so annoyed that the leaders of the Taihang Mountain Serial Village ordered their minions to knock them out of the cottage, but there were still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses there, and now Fan Yuming has been killed by an arrow. Several leaders such as Fu, Meng, Liu, and Jiao of Taihang Mountain also seem to pay attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes, and if they want to beg hard, I implore those leaders to temporarily take them in for the sake of everyone who is also in the green forest...... At present, it seems that this is the only way to avoid the pursuit of the official army.

The sound of the horse's hooves galloping back and forth has become clearer and clearer, Fang Xuedu has made up his mind, he immediately urged the horse to gallop towards the mountains in the northeast, at this time the war horse under his crotch has been spraying a heavy snort, and Fang Xuedu has been repeatedly whipped and galloped, so that this horse has long been left with little strength. When Fang Xuedu led a number of thieves to rush through the gentle slope of the road, and then went to the steep mountain, the horses could no longer climb the ridge, Fang Xuedu and the thieves around him immediately turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly ran into the deep mountain path to escape.

Only a moment after Fang Xuedu crossed the mountain, a battalion of Western soldiers and horses under the command of Yao Pingzhong had already galloped in, and the rest of the thieves who couldn't dodge hurriedly threw their blades and knelt on the ground and shouted surrender. And the general of the Western Army who led the team to arrive first was the Qin commander who had just joked with Yao Pingzhong, and he saw that the thieves in front of him had no heart to resist, but instead spit on a mouthful of thick phlegm, and scolded stupidly: "Straight thief!" This gang of thieves and birds has inevitably been pustules, and Lao Tzu hasn't killed them yet! ”

Before the scolding fell, the Qin commander also faintly heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves on the official road on the north side, his expression froze, and he ordered the Western Army under his command to send out his blades to prepare to defend against the enemy.

But after about a cup of tea, the Qin commander and his entourage saw that the soldiers and horses galloping from the north were all dressed in official and military uniforms, and the leader of the team was a jade-faced general with white teeth and red lips, two eyebrows and sideburns, and a slender waist and wide shoulders. I was ordered to go to Hedong on a business trip to Xiao Jieshuai's tent to subordinate Huarong, and Xiao Jieshuai led his troops to come, and was about to lead the brothers of the Western Army to Tongluo County! ”

"Yo, this kid was born handsome, but fighting with his life is not what a rabbit should do. Xiao Tang's trick is such a handsome man as a henchman, just to be majestic and good-looking? It's no wonder that he led his troops to exterminate even a group of Hedong thieves, but he wanted to trouble our western army to deal with the aftermath of this weak soldier in the future. ”

Hearing Hua Rong's words, Commander Qin sneered, and then laughed at the soldiers beside him.

Hua Rong saw the other party muttering, although he couldn't hear what he was talking about, but seeing that the general of the Western Army looked very arrogant and rude, Hua Rong frowned, and asked loudly: "The same officers and soldiers should also report the origin of their military division first, so as not to cause misunderstandings." I have already asked the question, and what is the reason why you avoid answering? ”

Commander Qin smiled, and shouted to Hua Rong, "What are you called?" The Sprinkle family did come to Hedong to suppress thieves according to the military order of the Yongxing Army! I'm clumsy and clumsy, and I'm not good at talking to people. The little captain Yao Dujian, who commanded our Western Army, will soon arrive, Xiao Langjun, what do you have to ask him! ”

Hua Rong's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost when he heard this, but he also knew that the current situation was not suitable for conflict with the person in front of him, so Hua Rong just snorted heavily, and did not say much.

After another hour and a half, Xiao Tang and Yao Pingzhong respectively led the people of their headquarters to rush here, and after the two of them listened to Hua Rong and Qin's command envoys report each other's comings, their expressions changed. Yao Pingzhong immediately looked at Xiao Tang and said secretly: It turns out that that person is Xiao Tang, who is favored by the official family and is also very famous in the rivers and lakes.

And Xiao Tang was also looking at Yao Pingzhong carefully at this time, and thought: This person is the little captain of the Western Army, Yao Pingzhong, the descendant of the generals of the Sanyuan Yao family, compared to his current prestige in the Western Army, this Yao Pingzhong's second half of his life can also be said to be a strange person with some intriguing deeds......
