"The soldiers of the new army listened to the order, and the pikemen on the left and right flanks quickly formed an encirclement to attack the two ribs of the thief army! The Chinese army is slowly advancing, and they are unified to listen to the dispatch of the head of the king in the front formation! ”

Xiao Jiasui of the Chinese army gave a resolute order, and more than 2,000 soldiers of the new army in the middle immediately marched forward under the leadership of several generals such as Dang Shiying, Dang Shixiong, and Wang Wenbin, and erected sharp spears one after another.

At this time, Tian Biao, who was fighting in front of the battle, kicked on the chest of a Song soldier soldier, and the soldier opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his chest seemed to be sunken in an instant, he almost didn't snort, and immediately fell down on his back to the sky.

But as soon as Tian Biao kicked over a Song general, more than a dozen spears immediately stabbed out of the military formation like poisonous snakes, Tian Biao hurriedly dodged, but in front of him, there were all new army soldiers in front of him, only to flash one after another, Tian Biao, who was barely retreating, suddenly trembled, and a sharp spear had already pierced his left shoulder! The severe pain dared to hit his heart in an instant, making the murderous and fierce Tian Biao can't help but howl miserably!

"Master! I'm here to help! Shi Jin took the lead, he urged the horse and the knife to go straight to Wang Jin's side to kill the general, and at this time, the Song army behind him also swarmed like chopping melons and vegetables, killing the Hedong thieves who fled everywhere, and the thief army was completely defeated, and now it is a foregone conclusion.

You can't get out here! Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, Lao Tzu hasn't lived happily enough, how can he fold in the hands of these dog officials here!?

Tian Biao's heart finally lost the fighting intent, he turned around and immediately ran to the rear. Only ran a few steps, Tian Biao dragged a dilemma thief cavalry off the horse, and then jumped to the saddle, Tian Biao then slammed the back of the horse with the back of the knife in a panic, and took advantage of the new army in front of him to surround him, and the officers and troops behind him rushed out of their own scattered battle formation!

Wang Jin and Li Yongqi saw that Tian Biao was about to escape, and while they ordered the generals behind them to act according to the orders of Xiao Jiasui of the Chinese army, they also urged the cavalry to hurry after them. It's just that Tian Biao had already seen Wang Jin and Li Yongqi's fierce and unstoppable battle posture, and at this time, he didn't have the heart to go to find the two of them to fight, so he just urged the horse to gallop towards the valley and dense forest on the northwest side. Although there was no path in the mountains on that side, and the surrounding terrain was so rugged that it was difficult to rush away, Tian Biao was in a hurry, and he said in his heart that from there he would rush out, and the officers and soldiers chasing me would also be blocked by the terrain of mountains and forests, and it would be better to escape or hide in the deep mountains and wilderness than to be safe from the enemy here!

At this time, Xiao Tang, Yao Pingzhong, Guan Sheng and others led the army to gallop together with the new army, and wrapped the thieves under Tian Biao's command into dumplings.

"Master, where are the thieves and birds of Tian Hu and Tian Biao!?" Shi Jin, who rode a horse and rushed to Wang Jin, hurriedly asked him, and when Wang Jin turned his head to look, he saw Tian Biao riding a horse galloping, and he was two or three hundred steps away from here. Seeing that the thief was about to hide in the mountains and forests, Wang Jin, who was about to chase after Shi Jin, suddenly thought in his mind:

Isn't the direction of Tian Biao's escape exactly where Niu Gao led the cavalry battalion to patrol the sentry posts?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the deep mountains around Dingxiang County, there are only a few twists and turns, and the steep solid wood plank road, the deep and secluded canyon dense forest, and sometimes there is an unpredictable mountain atmosphere. With the help of such a mountainous terrain, many thieves who saw that the situation was not right also knew that it was important to save their lives, and they took advantage of the fact that the officials and soldiers killed their accomplices, and nearly 1,000 people fled to the deep valleys and mountains and forests. After Tian Biao fled to the mountains, he gathered the remnants, and by this time he had already exhausted his calculations, so he had to wander through the mountains to find a hiding place.

On the one hand, Xiao Tang wanted to annihilate the rest of the thieves near Dingxiang County, and on the other hand, he divided the soldiers and horses into four ways and sneaked into the mountains to search for Tian Biao, who had escaped. After another two days, I hid in the deep mountains and dense forests. Tian Biao, who had no head to find a way to escape from here, endured hunger and cold, and suffered a thousand kinds of suffering with the remnants of the thieves under his command, and finally fled to a foothill near the official road in Xinzhou......

"Envoy Niu, the thief has fled to the vicinity of the official road now, and he is about to flee when he sees it, what should I do?"

In another shady and hidden place in the deep woods of a mountain stream on the east side of Dingxiang County, a horse army envoy was reporting to a man with a black face and a large body, dressed in the clothes and armor of a Song army horse officer. This big man is naturally Niu Gao, who was recently appointed by Xiao Tang as the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Hedong New Army.

Nowadays, most of the low-level officers and generals in the new army horse barracks are dispatched by Xiao Tang temporarily, and some veterans with rich combat experience are selected from among the three thousand strong cavalry trained by Hu Yanzhuo. After all, when the new army was first established, many low-level military officers lacked manpower to serve as officers, so Xiao Tang also selected some soldiers from other troops to temporarily appoint them, and then returned to their original military divisions to obey orders after calming down Hedong, conquering Tianhu, selecting and training the new army, etc., and also recorded all the merits made in Hedong.

However, in addition to these veterans of the battalions who are still good at fighting and fighting, most of the rest of the horse army soldiers are horse herders who used to be in charge of raising horses and herding horses in the boundary of Hedong Road, or villagers who have taken care of the horses and horses, and they heard that there are still thousands of thieves who have fled to the vicinity, and their own horse army camp is only more than 300 people, some of the soldiers panicked, and some of them admonished Niu Gao: "... General Niu, we don't have enough troops, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to win against those thieves. In the villain's opinion, it is better to send a few brothers to keep an eye on it, and then report to Xiao Jieshuai as soon as possible to know, after all, we are ordered to lead the ranger sentry to spy on the surrounding movements, and strictly prevent other thieves from passing here, and it is also a scout who does not have to fight to the death with the enemy......"

When Niu Gao heard this, he immediately glared at his strange eyes, and he whispered to the soldier: "You are afraid of a bird! That gang of thieves and birds is only about 1,000 people, we have 300 brothers at all, and we are waiting for work, how can we not fight with them!? The thief army has to ask my brother for help because of this little manpower, and if other colleagues in the army know about it, wouldn't it be to laugh at our uselessness? ”

was scolded by Niu Gao, and the military members also hurriedly closed their mouths, not daring to say anything more. It's just that although Niu Gao intends to ambush the thief army in front of him here, he also knows very well that except for a dozen or so veterans of the horse army who are temporarily dispatched to his command, most of the rest of the army have never experienced conquest and killing.

The gang of thieves didn't know what the combat strength was, and the current situation was less to more, and just as the military warrior just said, Niu Gao was ordered to patrol here, originally just to be a scout to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, and he didn't have to fight the enemy hard, even if he quickly went to Dingxiang County to report to Xiao Tang that he would not set up an ambush here to intercept Tian Biao and his thieves, according to military regulations, Niu Gao and his Ma soldiers did not have to be held accountable by military law.

However, just as Niu Gao in the official history because his hometown fell into the hands of the Jin army, and organized the righteous army to fight against the Jin soldiers, he led the people who were also not long after putting down their hoes in the Pingdingshan area to block the enemy army many times. Now Niu Gao frowned and thought for a while, and finally made up his mind in his heart.
