However, it is said that Wang Zuohang has been dealing with the official army for two years since the first year of Chongzhen. After two years of training in the career of a thief, his skills in leading troops to fight may not be very clever, but his ability to escape with people is not weak.

No, as soon as Liu Renyu and Liu Wuguo's subordinates made a move, Wang Zuojiao knew that the deal with the official army had failed, so he immediately took his elite cavalry to run away.

The cannon fodder left behind was given to the officials and soldiers as gifts, in addition to the silver taels he looted, and the ancient paintings and utensils he looted could be sent to the officials and soldiers.

As long as he can get out of danger, and as long as the main force still exists, then he only needs to change places and recruit again, coerc, and can pull up a team of thousands of people in minutes, after all, there are not many people in the whole Shaanxi now, and there are really a lot of displaced people.

And Wang Zuohang ran away with more than 200 cavalry under his own command, and the remaining homeless people were leaderless, and their combat effectiveness was close to zero.

At this point, it stands to reason that if it is an ordinary officer or army, then at this time, whether it is a military attache or a soldier, they will compete to cut off their heads and grab silver and money, and no one will pursue Wang Zuohang.

However, Liu Renyu's Jingbian Fort Army was not short of money, and he had fought Jiannu, and his morale was also high, so he was not interested in the heads of ordinary homeless people and silver money.

But the soldiers under Liu Wuguo's department were a little poor, so when they saw the money left by the thieves, some of the soldiers dismounted without permission before they received the order, desperately snatched the money, and put it in their own purses.

So Liu Renyu said to Liu Wuguo: "Brother, please take someone to collect those displaced people, and let's take someone to chase Wang Zuohang." ”

Liu Wuguo saw that his soldiers looked like poor dead ghosts reincarnated, where could they still pursue the enemy army, as soon as Liu Renyu made a suggestion, he agreed with a wry smile: "These unfortunate things under our hands make the virtuous brother laugh, you also see it, the military situation is like this, I can't pursue it, you can go by yourself, but be careful." ”

"I know." Liu Renyu agreed, and then led more than 400 knights under his command to move forward quickly and go to pursue Wang Zuohang.

However, it was said that Wang Zuojiao originally led his knights to gallop first, thinking that they could get rid of Liu Renyu and others, but because of malnutrition, their endurance and speed were much worse than the horses carefully fed by the Jingbian Fort Army.

It was the Jingbian Fort Army under Liu Renyu's command, riding high-quality horses with reasonable nutrition and exceptionally strong to chase all the way. It didn't take much effort to reduce the distance between friend and foe to 200 paces.

If this trend is followed for a while, the Jingbianbao army is afraid that it will catch up with Wang Zuohang's troops.

"Big leader, the horsepower of the officers and soldiers is stronger than ours, I'm afraid that we will catch up." Wang Zhichen looked back at the officers and soldiers who were chasing closer and closer, and he was worried.

"Fuck, what are these officers and soldiers for? How to chase closely. Wang Zuohang was also nervous when he saw sweat on his forehead, and said very depressedly.

"Big Chief, hurry up and find a way to get out of trouble, so that we can get out of trouble." The king's ministers said anxiously.

"It seems that this is the only way to go. We all have some very valuable jewels in our hands, and now we will take them out for me and throw them on the road, to see if these officers and soldiers can pick them up, if they get off the horse and pick them up, we can take the opportunity to get away. If they are in a mess because they are picking up jewels, then let's find an opportunity to kill them. Wang Zuo made up his mind.

When Wang Zhichen heard this, he agreed, and then looked around and said loudly: "Listen, the officials and soldiers are chasing and killing urgently, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape, you all take out all the heavy treasures you have hidden, throw them on the ground, and ask the officials and soldiers to pick them up, so let's get away." ”

The knights beside Wang Zhichen heard it, and they were afraid that the knights who were still galloping behind him would not hear it, so they passed the words to the back one after another.

After a while, all the knights heard.

They all took out the gold bracelets, jade pendants, night pearls and other high-end goods worth tens of thousands of dollars hidden on their bodies according to their words, stroked them a few times with some reluctance, and then bit their teeth, their hearts were horizontal, and they threw them out with tears.

The Jingbian Fort Army, which was still chasing closely, saw that the enemy troops in front of them suddenly threw out a large number of shiny things, and at first they thought it was some kind of hidden weapon, so they all carefully prepared to dodge.

I didn't want to run closer to take a look, only to find that the gold bracelets, jade pendants, night pearls and other high-end luxury goods that fell on the ground were all extraordinary things that could be sold at a high price in the market.

It is said that such an extremely expensive treasure is irresistible to ordinary people, but the Jingbian Fort Army are all soldiers who have undergone strict military training, not ordinary people, so they just looked at it, and a few people also praised it: "This is a real treasure!" ”

Then, after reading it, I finished admiring it, and continued to chase.

Wang Zuohang saw that his own killer skills couldn't work, so he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Is this still a fucking official army!?" If we don't love money, how can we escape? ”

Just when Wang Zuohang was panicking, Wang Zhichen hurriedly reminded: "Big leader, whenever we reach the end of the mountain, as long as we go into the mountain to hide, we can avoid the pursuit of the officials and soldiers, and after a while, we can go out of the mountain again, and we will be able to recover immediately." Now that the situation is critical, let's go into the mountains and take refuge. ”

"Good idea, get into the mountains." Wang Zuo shouted.

When the thieves were commanded, they followed their leaders to find a hill, and then they abandoned their horses and ran towards the hill in a swarm.

Liu Renyu followed with his soldiers.

"My lord, the thief abandoned his horse and went to the ravine, is he chasing or not?" Yang Desheng looked at the dense footprints in the snow and asked.

"Of course we have to chase, let's practice 6 miles of weight-bearing cross-country running, isn't it just for today. They all dismounted, removed a layer of armor, and pursued only in cotton armor. In addition, leave 50 men behind, gather up the horses left by the thieves, and take care of our own horses. Liu Renyu ordered.

The commander gave the order, and the soldiers naturally did as he was told. They removed the inner liner of the chain mail and handed it over to the robes who had been left to guard the horses, and then continued the pursuit wearing only cotton armor.

After losing dozens of pounds of weight, the soldiers of Jingbianbao, who had undergone rigorous training, naturally did not have much difficulty climbing up the mountain.

Among the people, Yang Desheng's department, which can be called perverted and serious in his usual training, is the fastest, and under the leadership of Yang Desheng himself, they scattered into a sparse wavy line and bit the thieves.

Yang Desheng, the number one martial idiot in Jingbian Fort, has not caught any battles since he came back from fighting Jiannu, and his hands have long been itchy. It was because of the opportunity to kill thieves today, and he was always excited.

Now that he was on the mountain, he saw that he could fight the thieves, so he naturally used all his strength, and his feet were like stepping on Hot Wheels, almost running and climbing the mountain.

Wang Zuohang, who was still struggling to escape, saw a large number of officers and soldiers wearing bright red uniforms behind him, and he was immediately frightened.

"I didn't expect the officers and soldiers to be so persevering and relentless, so what can I do?" After Wang Zuohang said this, he simply stopped and didn't leave.

"It's better to gather people and fight with them to break the net." Wang Zhichen saw that all his eighteen martial arts had been used, but he still couldn't get rid of the officials and soldiers behind him, so he had to plan to fight to the death.

"You don't have to. You see that those officers and soldiers are sharp, climb up the mountain as if they were walking on the ground, and they are not interested in money, how can we match them, just that, since the court intends to recruit peace, let's surrender. It's better to be alive than dead! Wang Zuohang said helplessly.

"Since the chief is resolute, I will go and tell the brethren." Wang Zhichen saw that his own leader had made up his mind, and the officers and soldiers were too sticky like dog skin plasters, and they couldn't fight and escape, so they had to pass on the order to surrender.

At this time, Yang Desheng, the vanguard of the Jingbian Fort Army, pursued extremely fast, and he was about to catch up with the thieves.

Suddenly, the thieves who had been running up the hill turned around one after another, and without saying a word, they walked back along the road they had come, and rushed out in the direction of the Jingbian Fort Army.

"Just in time! Grandpa, I happened to fight for a while. Yang Desheng thought that the thieves couldn't escape when they saw that they couldn't escape, and they planned to turn back and fight, so he was very excited.

However, when the thieves really approached, the scene of the fight did not appear.

I saw that the thieves all threw their weapons on the ground, knelt together, and shouted again and again: "The military master spares his life, and the little one is willing to surrender." ”

Hearing the thieves' begging for mercy one after another, and then looking at the figures kneeling together, Yang Desheng, who had already raised the stick high, was suddenly stunned.

At this time, the thief had surrendered, and his Yang Desheng's stick naturally couldn't go out again, so he could only smack the stick to the ground with hatred, and said depressedly: "Donkey Day, I thought I could fight a battle, but I ran into these eggless goods, which was boring!" ”

After the martial idiot Yang Desheng finished sighing, he said angrily to his subordinates: "Why don't you go and tie up these thieves." ”

Yang Desheng's subordinates were ordered, and those who had ropes hurriedly took out ropes, and those who didn't have ropes simply cut some rattan from the mountain and tied up the thieves who surrendered one by one.

When Zhang Tieniu, Ma Wenshan, Liu Renjie, and Liu Renyu arrived, the thieves had already been tied up, waiting for Liu Renyu to fall.

When Liu Renyu came to the place where the thieves surrendered, he found a relatively gentle slope and said to Yang Desheng: "Go and slip Wang Zuojiao over here, we have something to ask him." ”

When Yang Desheng received the order, he ordered his men to go to find Wang Zuohang.

After a short time, the soldiers escorted a thief to Liu Renyu's side.

"You are Wang Zuohang?" When the thief was brought to him, Liu Renyu asked.

"When you ask you, why don't you answer quickly." Before the soldiers who were escorting him could speak, they each kicked him in the crook of the leg, causing him to fall to his knees.

"The villain is Wang Zuohang." Wang Zuohang replied in a low voice.

"Although you don't know each other very well, it's not good that the imperial court soldiers have arrived, and they haven't surrendered quickly. But for the sake of you reining in time, I won't pursue you anymore. I will follow Yang Zhishuai's order to recruit you and others. Now I have an important question for you, do you have a man named Li Zicheng under you? ”

"Li Zicheng!?" Wang Zuohang tilted his head and thought for a while before replying: "General, there is indeed a small subordinate named Li Zicheng. ”

"But a man of medium stature, with a small nose, high cheekbones, deep eye sockets, a slightly nasal voice, a strong body, strong arms, a strong walker, and a man who can catch up with a running horse when he runs." Liu Renyu asked again.

"How did the general know!?" Wang Zuohang saw that Liu Renyu knew so clearly, and thought that the officials and soldiers had done a good job to find out the situation of his team clearly, so he asked in great horror.

"You don't have to know." Liu Renyu first said coldly, and then said: "I only ask if you have such a person?" ”

"There is such a person." Wang Zuohang was still shocked.

"Go and call him." Liu Renyu ordered.

"Yes, the little ones will go." After Wang Zuohang finished speaking, his own soldiers escorted him to find Li Zicheng.

When Wang Zuohang went to look for Li Zicheng, Liu Renyu had been in an excited mood, he was a little expectant, a little excited, and he didn't even know what kind of opening statement to use to talk to the future king of Chuang.

When he rehearsed several pictures of meeting Li Zicheng in his mind, Wang Zuo hung back, but he did not bring Li Zicheng with him.

"I asked you to bring Li Zicheng, what about the others?" Liu Renyu asked with a frown.

"Back to the general's words, the little one didn't see Li Zicheng, but he didn't know when he ran away." Wang Zuohang said with a puzzled look.

"What about his nephew Li Guo?" Liu Renyu asked.

"In order to ask Li Zicheng's whereabouts, Fang Cai specially went to find Li Guo, but he didn't see him." Wang Zuohang didn't want to ask why Liu Renyu knew that Li Zicheng also had a nephew, and he had already decided that Liu Renyu had sent a lot of fine works to lurk in his team.

"He really has some kung fu, and he deserves to be the king." Liu Renyu heard that Li Zicheng had fled without a trace, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
