Under the heavy attack of the Jingbian Fort Army, the real thief infantry army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness among the thieves, collapsed on all fronts, and the foot soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army took advantage of the situation to attack and cover up the thieves.

The cavalry, which had been dormant for a long time, attacked the rogue cavalry under the leadership of Liu Renjie and Wei Zhongyi respectively.

At this time, Miao Mei, the leader of the thieves, saw that his side was defeated, and knew that the situation was irreparable, so he didn't say a word, and ran away with a few cronies.

Tang Lichen's speed of escape was only faster than Miao Meilai, and the two hundred cavalry under his command saw his own general galloping away, and they also followed closely and fled by seizing the road.

Liu Renyu, who was on the side of the official army, saw the situation on the other side and said with a smile: "A thief is a thief in the end, seeing that the situation is not good, the timing of the escape is good, and the speed is also first-class." ”

Liu Wuguo, who was next to him, listened, and first nodded in agreement: "Thieves have always been like this. Then he said with a good face: "But they are running so fast, how can we catch up with them?" ”

"The throne is only faster than them, not slow, not caught by us, brother, the things in the world are most afraid of the word serious, as long as we chase after us, how can the thief get away?" Liu Renyu responded with a smile.

"That's right, that's right."

Liu Wuguo echoed a few words, and then frowned and looked at the figure of his relative Wei Zhongyi, and said silently in his heart: "Zhongyi, you have to do things seriously, otherwise, people will say that we are not serious." ”

**********

The pursuing officers and cavalry originally joined forces and pursued together, not beware of Miao Mei and Tang Lichen, who flew separately and ran in different directions.

"Mr. Wei Qian, according to Wang Zuohang's description, the one who was dressed in green clothes and fled with only a few followers was Miao Mei, he was the leader of the thieves, so you were in charge of the pursuit."

Liu Renyu learned about Miao Mei's appearance from Wang Zuohang's mouth, so he recognized Miao Mei who was fleeing, so he planned to let Wei Zhongyi pursue the leader of the thieves, and he himself took more than 100 cavalry under his command to chase Tang Lichen.

"Little brother of the Liu family, why do you look down on me so much, I have more than 200 cavalry under my command, but you asked me to chase Miao Mei, and Tang Lichen has more than 200 people on his side, and you only take more than 100 people to chase, how can it be arranged like this?" Wei Zhongyi frowned and said dissatisfied.

Liu Renjie said in his heart that he was guessed by you, but he was afraid that you would not be able to do anything, but he explained again and again: "Miao Mei is the head of the thief, and catching him is a great achievement, I will let you with my first credit, aren't you still happy?" ”

"I don't want this kind of head work, you give Tang Lichen to someone Wei and let me fight seriously."

"In this case, I don't think it's better to be like this, let's go after Tang Lichen together, and I'll send someone to chase Miao Mei."

"It's up to you." Wei Zhongyi nodded.

"Sun Wuxi, give you 30 rides, be sure to catch Miao Mei, whether you live or die." Liu Renyu said to Sun Wuxian beside him.

"Yes, sir." Sun Wuzhi received the order, so he took 30 cavalrymen, broke away from the cavalry brigade, and chased in the direction where Miao Mei had fled.

The remaining more than 270 cavalry continued to pursue Tang Lichen's troops.

But it was said that Miao Mei was riding a horse and was desperately running towards the mountain, hoping to get into the mountains and forests in time to avoid the pursuit of the officers and soldiers.

"Big leader, Tang Lichen's guy should be damned, he insisted on taking us to fight with the official army, but he died by himself, but he put all our men and horses in."

A cronie who followed Miao Mei said angrily as he ran.

Miao Mei listened to the words of this cronie, her face was as black as ink, and she was also very angry.

After a long time, he said: "I told him a long time ago that he can't fight with the official army, he still has to ........, alas, our Lao Tzu is really blind, why did he listen to him." ”

"Big leader, it's too late to say anything now, you see that the officers and troops behind you are getting closer and closer." The cronie reminded with a sad face.

When Miao Mei heard this, she looked back, and sure enough, she found that the officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer, and the flash on their swords could sting her eyes.

"Kuye, this group of officers and soldiers is chasing after each other, what should I do?" Miao Mei six gods have no master.

"Big leader, the officers and troops are chasing very urgently, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape, so it's better to surrender, it's a big deal to be recruited like that king Zuohang." The cronie suggested.

Miao Mei thought for a while, and felt that she really couldn't escape, so she had to stop the horse, turn over and dismount, and kneel on the ground, ready to surrender.

When several of Miao Mei's cronies saw that their big leader was determined to surrender, they all did the same, turned over and dismounted, and knelt beside Miao Mei.

After a short time, Sun Wuxian rushed to the scene with 30 cavalry.

When Miao Mei saw that Sun Wuxian had arrived, she kowtowed a few times, and begged for mercy: "Little Miao Mei, please surrender, and please spare your life." ”

When Sun Wuxian heard this, he didn't answer, he took a few knights to turn over and dismount, and walked in front of Miao Mei, hehe sneered: "Before, my lord sent Wang Zuo to you to recruit you, why didn't you follow, now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, I just want to surrender, it's too late!" ”

"Jun, military master, the villain has surrendered, and it is ominous to kill and surrender."

Miao Mei heard the boundless killing intent from Sun Wuxi's tone, and he hurriedly trembled and begged for mercy in a trembling voice.

How do you know that Sun Wuxian didn't care and said: "If it weren't for Lord Liu, I would have been a dead man, and it would be ominous to kill and surrender, and it would also be retribution on my body, and it has nothing to do with adults, so you can go on the road with peace of mind." ”

As soon as Sun Wuxi's words fell, he sharpened the steel knife in his hand horizontally, and with a "poof" sound, the snow was red, and Miao Mei's head fell in response.

When the other thieves saw their leader killed, they were horrified and kowtowed and begged for mercy, but it was useless.

Sun Wuxian's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Eliminate the evil." ”

When the other knights heard this, they all nodded, and with steel knives in their hands, they either chopped or slashed, and killed all the remaining thieves.

Sun Wuxian saw that all the thieves were ambushed, so he ordered: "Pick up the heads, take them away, and go back to report to the adults." ”

"Okay." As soon as everyone agreed, they removed a few pieces of cloth from the dead people, wrapped the heads of the thieves, and then took a few captured horses and Shi Shiran returned to the main army of the army.

**********

Tang Lichen galloped with the remnants of more than 200 cavalry, trying to escape, who knew that he looked back from time to time, but found that the official army was very tight like maggots on tarsal bones.

Seeing that the distance between the enemy and us was getting closer and closer, Tang Lichen said to the left and right: "Now that the situation is in crisis, the officials and troops are very urgent, and none of us can run away if we continue like this, it is better to divide some people to block the officers and soldiers, and let the rest escape." ”

When Dong Qichang beside him heard this, he smiled coldly and said: "Old Tang, everyone listens to you, and you are the leader, what are the benefits, you account for most of it." Now that the situation is critical, I don't think it's better for you, the leader who has eaten and drunk, to take the people behind the palace, and let those of us who could only drink soup run first? ”

Several thieves who followed Tang Lichen's side nodded when they heard this, obviously agreeing with Dong Qichang's statement.

"You ........." Tang Lichen's original intention was to let the others run first, but who knew that Dong Qichang took his own army first, and let him swallow the words that ran first into his stomach.

"In that case, I think we might as well go back and fight with the officers and soldiers."

Tang Lichen saw that he couldn't get away anyway, so it was better to take everyone to fight together.

When Dong Qichang and the others heard this, they all nodded with satisfaction and said: "Old Tang, this is like the words, let's choose you as the leader, just because you used to be the boss, you became the leader, you must always have the appearance of the leader, you can't always think about yourself, you have to think about the brothers, you want to leave the brothers and run alone, that's impossible, but now you say that you want to fight to the death with the officials and soldiers, then we all depend on you." ”

After the strategy was established, Tang Lichen ordered to turn the horse's head and scatter it into a line to meet the officers and soldiers.

Liu Renjie and Wei Zhongyi, who were pursuing, saw that the thieves were not running away, but were coming to meet them, they were overjoyed, and it was better to kill them on the spot than to chase them.

"The thieves are coming, so let's get on the crossbow first." Liu Renjie ordered to the cavalry under his command.

Liu Renjie's cavalry took out the crossbow machine according to his words, and when the knight in front of the thief approached 20 steps, he fired the crossbow arrow, such a blow, whether it was hit or not, immediately threw the crossbow machine on the ground, and took out the mace, iron bone Duoer, long-handled mountain axe and other blunt weapons from the saddle, and then urged the horsepower, ready to engage the enemy.

More than a dozen knights from the thief's side were struck by the crossbow arrows, and the strength of the crossbow arrows, combined with the tremendous momentum of the reverse movement, knocked them straight off their horses.

Some of these knights who fell from their horses fell directly to the ground, prostrate on the ground, and their lives and deaths were unknown, while others were trampled by the horses that followed, and their bones were broken and their tendons were broken, and they could not die again.

No one paid attention to the dead, or the seriously wounded and dying, on the battlefield, and the knights on both sides were full of energy, waiting for the blow at the staggered moment.

"Rack, rack." The knights beat the horses and drove them to run wildly.

The distance of 20 steps was completed in the blink of an eye, and the knights on both sides clenched their weapons of various colors and used all their strength to kill the opponent in front of them.

Cavalry assault has never been tricky, and the one with the greatest strength wins, so the strength of the Jingbian Fort army, which has always been harshly trained, is generally greater than that of the thieves, and six out of ten of the thieves who fought with the Jingbian Fort army were shot down from their horses.

Wei Zhongyi's Ma Jun was not very diligent in his performance, so he could only fight with the thieves to a draw.

After the two sides finished a round, Tang Lichen checked it and found that his side had lost more than 50 people, while the number of people on the opposite side did not seem to have decreased.

Tang Lichen was secretly frightened, feeling that if he continued to fight like this, he was afraid that it would be worse.

"I'm afraid I'm going to die here today."

Tang Lichen was thinking pessimistically for a while, and suddenly a thought crossed his mind, and he thought of a brilliant idea.

"Brothers, fight with the official army again, the eldest husband will die if he dies, killing one is enough, killing two is profitable." Tang Lichen shouted loudly.

"Well, people die and birds are facing the sky, and twenty years later, they will be a good man again." Everyone let out such an angry roar in unison, and then they pressed the horsepower again and rushed hard.

"Good time." The rise of Liu Renjie's killing also raised his arms and shouted: "Let them know the strength of the Jingbian Fort Army." ”

"Okay." His men replied loudly.

The knights under Wei Zhongyi did not want to be compared to the friendly troops around them, and they also shouted and shouted, saying that they wanted to kill more thieves and thieves, and they would not die.

So the two sides had no more words, they all clamped the horse's belly fiercely, lifted the horse quickly, and pinched the weapon tightly, these knights had nothing but the enemy in their eyes, and in their hearts, there was no other thought than to kill the enemy.

But it is said that those thieves used to be officials and soldiers, and they were also professional soldiers, even if they were thieves, the genes of the soldiers were still there, and now they are fighting in a dignified manner, the fire that has been extinguished in their hearts for a long time has been ignited, and the sense of fate of the horse leather shroud has returned, and everything is so logical.

But someone ruined the atmosphere.

Tang Lichen has been a thief, he is rich and prosperous, and he can't enjoy it, the manhood in his heart has long been wiped out, and when his life is better, he will spare his life, he still doesn't want to die, he still wants to continue to be a thief, enjoy the young lady of a big family, and eat fine white noodles, so he resolutely chose to escape.

"You go to die, you go first." Tang Lichen took advantage of the rush of his knights, turned his horse's head, and trotted all the way in the opposite direction from when Fang Cai fled.

"The officers and cavalry are all here, and they are expected to run over, and no one will be able to intercept them."

Tang Lichen crackled in his heart with a small abacus, and then he clamped the horse's belly, whipped the horse's buttocks, and fled for his life.

The thieves never expected that the leader of their own family would actually take the lead in escaping, and the originally high morale was suddenly wiped out.

"Tang Lichen's donkey day ran away, why are we still waiting here to die, run."

I don't know who shouted, and the thieves' knights immediately became chaotic and fled in all directions.

Seeing such a scene, Liu Renjie sighed: "One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted." ”

After he finished this exclamation, he quickly changed to a fierce look and said: "My lord has an order, all the real thieves among the thieves will be killed, and no one will be left." ”

"Yes." The soldiers responded and divided into groups of three or five cavalrymen to intercept and kill the scattered and fleeing thief cavalry.

By this time, the cavalry of the thieves had lost their courage and fighting spirit, and most of them were quickly killed. Even if a small number of rogue cavalry can run out of the battlefield, they will be chased and killed by the tightly bitten officers and soldiers.

When the battle on the battlefield was settled, Liu Renjie discussed with Wei Zhongyi: "Mr. Wei Qian, how about you see that the head of the thief and the real thief is half of us?" ”

When Wei Zhongyi heard this, he excused himself and said: "This war is all up to you, we don't dare to ask for so many heads." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the two of us are called brothers, we are not outsiders, you can take half of the head Wei Qian, this is the rule set by my family."

"In this case, then Wei will no longer be hypocritical," Wei Zhongyi thanked Liu Renjie with a smile, and then ordered his subordinates: "Sons, go and cut 100 heads." ”

Liu Renjie also ordered to his subordinates at this time: "The remaining heads are cut and tied to the horse." ”

"Yes." When the soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army received the order, they each carried steel knives to cut off their heads.

"Alas, this battle was not completed, so that Tang Lichen escaped."

Liu Renjie first quietly watched his subordinates tidy up the battlefield, and after watching it for a while, he frowned and thought about it sullenly.
