Chapter 233: Hunting down Nong Zhigao

The cavalry of the Western Army went south to search and pursue Nong Zhigao in multiple ways, but there was no trace for a while. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cavalry soldiers of the Western Army did not know that at this time, they were trying their best to trace and search for the thief chief Nong Zhigao, who was in the military camp of the Jiaozhi Army under the Dagu Ridge, which was more than 200 miles south of Yongzhou City.

…………

Yesterday, as soon as Nong Zhigao saw the defeat of his elite army, he knew that the general trend had gone, and Yongzhou City would definitely not be able to defend it, because he had no intention of defending Yongzhou City at all.

The reason why Nong Zhigao fled into Yongzhou City at that time was mainly to bring the treasures he had looted, as well as his own Prime Minister Zuo, which were the basis for his comeback

。 Without these treasures, without his resourceful Prime Minister Zuo, who he thought was his arm, I am afraid that he would never have the possibility of making a comeback, and it is estimated that he would have to go through the mountains and forests for the rest of his life to avoid the pursuit of the Song court.

Nong Zhigao entered Yongzhou City, in addition to bringing his treasures and his own Zuo Prime Minister, there was also a very important purpose, which was to confuse Song Jun and make Song Jun believe that he would resolutely defend the city, so as to buy him time to escape.

Song Jun chased after him and watched him flee into Yongzhou City, and he would definitely think that he was going to defend the city. Because ordinary people will definitely feel that it is safer and safer to enter the city and defend it than to flee for their lives. Because the elite of his army has been annihilated, and the city is firmly defended, those recruits may still be of some use, and if they escape, there will be no possibility of resisting the western army.

However, although Yongzhou City was bound to be lost, Nong Zhigao felt that he could hold it for a few days, and after the Song army spent many days capturing Yongzhou City, and then found that his palace had been burned, it was estimated that he would probably think that he had set himself on fire in despair. Nong Zhigao arranged for him to stay in the palace were all his descendants of the Nong soldiers, and they all planned to sacrifice themselves for him, the leader of the Nong clan. Nong Zhigao instructed them that once the Song army attacked the palace, they would immediately set themselves on fire and ignite the fire objects prepared in the palace, so that the Song army could not get close, and when the fire was extinguished, I am afraid that it would take a long time for many things to turn into ashes, and it was difficult to determine whether he Nong Zhigao was burned to death by the fire.

Originally, Nong Zhigao planned very well, that kind of scorching fire would definitely burn his palace to a white ground, and even if Song Jun had doubts about whether he was dead, he might directly think that he was burned to death. After all, killing yourself is also a great credit.

At worst, even if Song Jun had doubts about his death and continued to pursue himself, he would have already gone for many days, and he would have already fled into the vast 100,000 mountains with his subordinates.

However, Nong Zhigao never expected that the Song army's siege of the city would only take a short stick of incense to blow open the city gate and attack the city. It only took a few more hours to take control of the city. After dawn, Song Jun immediately launched a search for him, and after half a day, he knew Nong Zhigao's whereabouts.

Nong Zhigao couldn't help but hurry up, planning to flee into the 100,000 mountains.

Originally, he planned to flee into his old nest Guangyuan Prefecture first. Guangyuan Prefecture was surrounded by rolling mountains, and the Nong people were so familiar with it that it was almost impossible for the Song army to capture them there. But he didn't expect the Song army to catch up so quickly, one night plus half a morning, it was only enough for him to throw off the Song army for a hundred miles, and this distance was difficult to ensure that he would not be caught before escaping back to Guangyuan Prefecture. Because the speed of the Hequ horse of the Western Army is much faster than the bantam horse under his crotch. Therefore, Nong Zhigao could only drill into the 100,000 mountains closer to Yongzhou City first.

The 100,000 mountains were only less than 200 miles away from Yongzhou City, and Nong Zhigao was still very confident and easily escaped into the mountains before the Song army chased him. The reason why the 100,000 Mountains are called the 100,000 Mountains is because the mountains there are continuous, the peaks overlap, the peaks are unclear, and there are countless and extremely numerous. Therefore, once you escape into the 100,000 mountains, it is difficult to find it at all, and you can't find it at all.

…………

But what Nong Zhigao didn't expect was that before he could escape into the 100,000 mountains, he was stopped by the Jiaozhi army at Daguling. Otherwise, he's too stupid!

Tagu Ridge is a mountain ridge on the northernmost periphery of the 100,000 Great Mountain, and the Jiaozhi army that was invited by Yu Jing to help pacify Nong Zhigao is stationed here. this

The Jiaozhi army was led by Li De'an, the third brother of the current king of Jiaozhi, Li Dezheng. Originally, they were hired by Yu Jing for 30,000 yuan to help pacify Nong Zhigao, but Di Qing, the commander-in-chief of the two lakes and Guangzhou, who took over, was strictly ordered not to set foot in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

When Li De'an received Di Qing's order, he had already led the Jiaozhi army into the Song realm, and he didn't care about Di Qing's order, even Nong Zhigao couldn't beat the Song army, he was afraid that they would be hairy, and who would bird him with such a bullshit order. Therefore, Li De'an led his troops to continue to march to Taguling, which was only 200 miles away from Yongzhou City, and stationed there.

The Jiaozhi people didn't actually come to help the Great Song Dynasty, they were completely watching Nong Zhigao grow bigger, and thinking that Nong Zhigao was a defeated general under their own hands, so they wanted to pick up the cheap. Nong Zhigao has been rampant in the Liangguang region for most of the past six months, and he will definitely loot countless treasures. The Jiaozhi people's decision was to wait for the Song army and the Nong army to be defeated, and then they would go to pick peaches, and strive to defeat both the Song army and the Nong army in one fell swoop.

The greed of the Jiaozhi people is very great, and they plan to not only turn the countless treasures looted by Nong Zhigao into the Jiaozhi people, but also the territory of the two Guang occupied by Nong Zhigao, and the Jiaozhi people will also occupy it and not return it to the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the land of Liangguang is a barbaric land in the eyes of the Great Song people, in the eyes of the Jiaozhi people, it is much better than their own place. If the Song people probably went to Jiaozhi to see what the real barbarian land was, they probably wouldn't think that Liangguang was a barbarian land.

The Jiaozhi people are very enthusiastic about these two vast places, and when they defeat Nong Zhigao and the Song army, they plan to occupy this territory and not return it. The Song army couldn't even beat Nong Zhigao, so what to do with them had to go back to Liangguang. How many Song troops come, call them back, those rookie-like Song troops, Jiaozhi people have no sense of fear.

Well, of course, the Great Song people have money, and if they take out enough money to redeem it, they can consider it. Of course, maybe they will take the goods and still not return their territory, the goods will also be high, and the land will be high, which has always been the style of the Jiaozhi people.

Scared, you say that we Jiaozhi people don't talk about credit! Ha, you know, haven't we been like this all the time? You have the ability to call here!

Nong Zhigao wanted to escape into the 100,000 Mountain, but the Jiaozhi people were blocking the north of the 100,000 Mountain, so Nong Zhigao and the Jiaozhi people met.

After all, the army of the Jiaozhi people is in the territory of the Song Dynasty, although they look down on the combat effectiveness of the Song army, but they still feel that they need to be more careful, and there is no big mistake in being careful, so they scatter a lot of scouts with the Jiaozhi people. When Nong Zhigao was still far from the camp of the Cochins, he was discovered by the scouts of the Cochins. As soon as the Jiaozhi people saw Nong Zhigao, their eyes suddenly lit up, this is a broad master, and the Jiaozhi army immediately sent troops to intercept Nong Zhigao.

Nong Zhigao had less than five hundred Nong soldiers around him at this time, so he was naturally not the opponent of the Jiaozhi people. You must know that the Jiaozhi people came to pick up the bargain this time, but they brought an army of 50,000, plus 1,000 cavalry.

Therefore, before Nong Zhigao escaped into the 100,000 mountains, he was blocked by the Jiaozhi people and caught him.
