Chapter 20: The Pursuit

The won that has been stuffy in Goyang City for more than two months finally has a place to use at this time. After receiving the order, he immediately gathered a thousand soldiers and horses under his command and followed Wang Bingyun out of the city to pursue the remnants.

The officers and men of the 5th Battalion, whose morale was high, rushed out of the county town and impatiently killed in the direction of Weixian.

"Master, something is wrong! There are many soldiers and horses in Gaoyang City! I'm afraid of no less than five thousand! ”

On a small road outside the city of Wei County, several probes reported to Sun Fuyu.

"The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. A group of local chickens and dogs also dared to come out and go wild. Sun Fu said hatefully.

"Sect Master, why don't you fight them to the death right here! After destroying this group of birdmen, let's go directly to Gaoyang City! ”

Han Wei's heart was on fire and he said loudly.

Last year, Gaoyang was captured, and the officers and soldiers of the two battalions in the city were almost slaughtered, and in just one year, so many people appeared.

Sun Xun patted his horse forward and hurriedly said, "Uncles, don't be rash!" This battle cannot be fought, so it can only be the best policy. Let's not forget, the tens of thousands of troops in Dongning Province are still behind us. If we are dragged in Gaoyang, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out! ”

When everyone heard the young master's words, they woke up one after another. Yes, if you delay any longer, I'm afraid you will have to explain it all here.

Sun Fu asked: "Then according to you, in the current situation, how should we get out of danger?" ”

Sun Fu himself didn't notice it, but in fact, unconsciously, everyone, including him, had already regarded his son's words as a lifesaver.

Sun Xun sighed bitterly and said, "Look at Yi'er, I still have to divide the army." ”

"Still divide the troops? From the division of troops in Jingyang City to the present, how many tens of thousands of brothers are left from Yizhou together? I disagree! Han Wei was firmly opposed.

Qin Chuan reprimanded: "Han Erlai, now is the moment of life and death!" Don't mess around! I agree with the young master's words, only by dividing the troops can there be a way to live. ”

Sun Fu thought about it for a while and agreed to his son's suggestion. There is no way, the situation is pressing.

…

"Lord Gunjo! The outpost reported that the thieves were fleeing to the west and south of Wei County in two ways. The arraignment officer reported.

Wang Bingyun was overjoyed in his heart, he was worried that the thieves would fight against the water, in that case, the outcome was not yet known.

"Hahaha, this is just because God sees that the thieves are too heavy to kill, and intends to bury them here."

Wang Bingyun stroked his chin and laughed.

In his early years, when he was still a hundred households, he had been to this Wei County to suppress bandits, and he was quite familiar with the geographical environment in this area. The two roads taken by the thieves can be said to be dead-end. To the west, it is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it can be said that it cannot be entered or exited. To the south, there is a huge swamp, muddy and difficult for people and horses to walk.

"Pass my order, chase and destroy in both directions! Be sure to kill all the thieves and not let anyone go! ”

"Yang Yongxing, Jin Shouhua, Huang Biao, your three battalions follow the county to pursue the westward thieves! Han Yuan, Hu Erhu, your two battalions are chasing the southbound thieves! Act fast! ”

"Yes!"

…

The western thieves were divided into two routes, Han Wei escorted Sun Fu to flee south, and Qin Chuan protected Sun Xun to the west to survive.

At this time, the fewer people there were, the less likely it was to attract the attention of officers and soldiers, so Sun Fu only brought more than 1,000 light horsemen, and the rest of the burdens were handed over to his son, including the thieves' families, as well as the gold and silver treasures stolen along the way.

"Sect Master, woe to you! Ahead is a reckless bog! I'm afraid it's hard to walk! ”

"What!"

Sun Fu is really scared, does God want to let him die without a place to be buried?

Not far away, the shouts of officers and soldiers were faintly heard.

"Sons! The day of revenge has come! The thieves have no way out, so follow me to kill! ”

More than 2,000 soldiers and horses led by Han Yuan and Hu Erhu have already been killed!

Sun Fu knew that he had no physiology, so he decided to fight to the death. At this time, I don't know who came with the good news:

"Master! This swamp is not deep! Anyone can walk! ”

Sun Fu was overjoyed, and immediately turned his horse and ran. People are like this, as long as there is a glimmer of life, most of them are reluctant to risk their lives.

When the officers and soldiers saw the thieves fleeing, they were willing to give up. One or two couldn't care about the fatigue of the long-distance attack, but they couldn't fly to the thieves, and slashed their heads.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Don't let anyone go!"

Almost all the officers and soldiers, including Han won, have a blood feud with the Western Thieves. When the enemy meets, he is very red-eyed!

The thieves were all frightened and ran for their lives, for fear of being caught up and beheaded.

The Divine does like to tease sentient beings.

Something that made all the thieves desperate happened. At first, the swamp was indeed very shallow, and everyone could still run on horseback, but after walking soon, the swamp became deeper and deeper, and the thieves gradually became difficult, and they were about to be overtaken by the officers and soldiers.

Han Won noticed the thief's predicament, and after consulting with Erhu, he ordered everyone to stop advancing and only set up bows and arrows in places where the swamp was not deep.

Most of the thieves were within the range of officers and soldiers, and they became completely live targets. After a few rounds of arrow rain, the swamp was almost red with blood.

"Dismount and hide behind the horse!"

Han Wei roared. Many of the thieves who reacted turned over and dismounted, doing as he ordered.

Han Won estimated that at least half of the thieves after the rain of arrows were killed or wounded, and the more than 2,000 people on his side were completely overwhelming.

"Second Tiger, order everyone to attack! Ride in first, and when you get close to the thief, you will dismount and fight! ”

Erhu had no idea at all at this time, and everything was only arranged by Han won.

The officers and men galloped on horseback, and when they reached the muddy place, they walked one after another.

"Give me the order, shoot an arrow!"

In order to minimize the losses, the won did not dare to charge rashly until this time.

At this time, the western thieves can be said to be called every day, and the earth is not spiritual, and they can neither fight with the officers and soldiers happily, nor can they escape from this smelly and dirty place of right and wrong. They could only be shot in the swamp by officers and soldiers one by one unwillingly.

Seeing that the thief was almost dead, Han Yuan held a long knife in his hand and rushed over first.

The remnants of the thieves were in disarray, and many struggled to move their feet.

"Brethren, do not try to escape! Take a good look, where is the room to flee now? ”

Sun Fu's voice was full of despair and inexplicable tragedy:

"The officers and men will not let us go. We killed their relatives and robbed them of their money. Now that they are here for revenge, do we have a choice but to fight to the death? ”

Han Wei shouted, "Brothers of the Ascension Sect! Everyone came out of Yizhou with the sect leader, killing corrupt officials, breaking cities, robbing treasures, and sleeping with women along the way, which is not a happy thing? It's worth it to confess here today! At this point, killing one is enough, killing two is earning! ”

The remaining less than two hundred thieves, hearing these words, immediately regarded death as if they were at home, and went crazy to fight with the officers and soldiers in a trapped beast.

Han Yuan took the lead in rushing to the thieves and slashing left and right, and his own soldiers were around him, fearing that he would be injured.

Sun Fu found Han Won, who was protected by his own soldiers, and thought that he was not small among the officers and soldiers, so he immediately rushed over with dozens of subordinates.

Sun Fu has killed countless people in recent years, and his means of fighting are obviously much stronger than Han won. Not long after the two fought, Han Won became clumsy.

Sun Fu's knife skills are sharp and imposing, and the big knife in his hand almost slashes the faΓ§ade of the Korean won.

A hundred steps away, Ermao saw that Han Yuan was in danger, hurriedly pulled out a long arrow from his bag, and shot at Sun Fu without hesitation.

At the last moment, the arrow went straight through the chaotic crowd and hit Sun Fu in the left eye.

"Ahh

Sun Fu screamed bitterly.

Han Won took the opportunity to avoid his attack and slashed a big head to the ground with a backhand.

The battlefield seemed to be quiet for a moment, and the Western Thieves forgot to resist when they saw the tragic death of the sect leader.

Han Wei shouted angrily: "Avenge the sect leader!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a long arrow suddenly pierced his throat, blood spurted from his throat, and he squirmed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

It's a pity that a good man who was beaten with iron fell into the muddy water like this.

"Good brother! Good archery! ”

Han Yuan looked back at Ermao and couldn't help but praise.

At this point, the thieves in the south were all wiped out.
