Chapter 53: Captured

In fact, without waiting for Shen Chengli's order, the soldiers of the Wu Yue Army had already seen the location of Zhou Zong's banner, and there were big fish in that place, and the soldiers of the Wu Yue Army rushed over desperately. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Zhou Zong has an elite team of nearly 500 people. Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while. Zhou Zong left some soldiers to protect him, and the rest let them step forward to stop Wu Yue's soldiers.

This group of hundreds of soldiers killed more than a dozen robes in a row, but they still couldn't stop the rout, some of their own soldiers were swept away by the chaotic army, and some were even trampled to death, and Wu Yue's army was getting closer and closer to Zhou Zong.

"Zhou Situ, Wu Yuegou can't stop it, let's go first!" Chen Qu, who tried to step forward to stop Wu Yuebing, was killed by Wu Yuejun again, and his face was still injured.

Zhou Zong pursed his lips, his face was gloomy, he sighed, didn't speak, and fled with his horse.

"Drive!" Zhou Zong commanded the war horses, and while running, he shouted loudly, and some soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground by him.

As soon as Zhou Zong left, the soldiers holding the big flag beside him threw down the flag and fled with him. The standard-bearers of the Tang Army followed this example one by one, threw away the flags, turned around and fled.

"Zhou Zong is dead, and you won't be arrested yet?" Shen Chengli shouted loudly, beaming in his heart, this time the ambush worked very well, the Tang army had been defeated, it was up to him to see if he could catch the commander of the Tang army.

"Those who descend will not be killed!" The soldiers of Wu Yuejun shouted loudly, there are many Tang soldiers, even if they kill them one by one, they can't kill them all, and the best way is to take prisoners.

The soldiers of the Tang Army have been frightened and fled one after another, and some soldiers have chosen to surrender, hungry and sleepy, where can they flee?

Shen Chengli left some people to collect prisoners, and he pursued Zhou Zong with the elite.

At this time, Zhou Hongzuo was leading the men and horses of the headquarters to confront Zhao Chengtai who was pursuing, although he did not have a baggage car, but he still had enough thistles, plus the rejection of the horse last night, he could barely block Wu Yue's pursuers.

The two sides held each other for half an hour, and it was impossible for Zhou Hongzuo to attack. Zhao Chengtai also did not choose to take the initiative to attack because of the iron thistles covered on the ground, and Zhou Hongzuo's crossbowmen were indeed more, he brought enough Hu cakes, steamed buns and other things, so he didn't have to worry about the lack of food, and the war horse had strong mobility, so he had the capital to confront. On the other hand, the Tang army, with the majority of foot soldiers, it is impossible for them not to rest, it is impossible not to retreat, once they retreat, the cavalry of the Wu Yue army can continue to pursue, knowing that they are exhausted.

When the two sides were holding each other, suddenly, behind Zhou Hongzuo, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a soldier hurriedly came, walked to Zhou Hongzuo's side, and said: "General Zhou, there is an ambush ahead, Zhou Situ has been defeated, and he is currently rushing towards this side." ”

"Damn, what the hell is going on?!" Zhou Hongzuo scolded angrily, and hurriedly sent five hundred soldiers to the rear to maintain order, he was already in the formation here, and he must not let his brothers break the formation.

Zhou Hongzuo thought that five hundred soldiers were enough, but he couldn't imagine that the momentum of the rout had been achieved, even if it was the king of heaven, I am afraid that he would not be able to stop it. The five hundred soldiers couldn't stop the rout at all, they rushed over in a crowd, and immediately disrupted the formation set up by Zhou Hongzuo, and some soldiers even crossed the defense line and rushed towards the front.

The soldiers of the Tang Army were stabbed one by one, some fell to the ground screaming, and some rolled around on the ground, but the wounds were torn even more, and more thistles pierced their bodies.

Zhao Chengyou was a little dumbfounded when he saw this scene. What does Tang Jun do? When he reacted, more Tang troops swarmed in and stepped on more thistles.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?" Cho Seung-tae muttered to himself.

"General, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, Tang Jun doesn't know what happened, it's so embarrassing." One of the heads said.

Zhao Chengtai felt that what this person said was reasonable, so he ordered the cavalry to retreat more than fifty paces and spread along the road, blocking the escape route of the Tang army.

"What's your name?" Zhao Chengtai felt that the soldier who spoke just now had some insight, so he asked.

"General Qiyu, humble Shen Huzi." The soldier said.

Zhao Chengtai looked at Shen Huzi carefully, and saw that he was indeed a tiger-headed tiger, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Huzi, if we made meritorious contributions this time, I would have recommended you as an official." ”

Shen Huzi was overjoyed, arched his hand, and said: "Thank you for the promotion, Huzi is grateful!" ”

While the two were talking, more and more Tang troops had rushed over, and the thistles buried by Zhou Hongzuo were about to be cleaned up by the Tang soldiers.

"Don't mess up, don't mess around! Ahead is Wu Yuegou's cavalry! Zhou Hongzuo was sweating profusely, he had never seen such a rout, could it be that they had all met ghosts just now, so they were so afraid?

The rout soldiers were pouring in like flowing water, Zhou Hongzuo was powerless to stop it, watching more and more Tang troops flee, his own subordinates were mixed in it, some were coerced, and they ran forward involuntarily, and some were even trampled under the feet of the rout, and they were trampled to death after a while.

"The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone!" Zhou Hongzuo's heart was gloomy, he smiled bitterly, and fled in a hurry with the rout, in order not to attract the attention of Wu Yuejun, Zhou Hongzuo took off his helmet, lay tightly on the horse, and fled in a hurry.

Seeing this, the soldiers followed Zhou Hongzuo's side and fled in a hurry.

Not long after Zhou Hongzuo escaped, where he had just stood, Zhou Zong hurriedly came over, and when he saw this scene, he also smiled bitterly and fled in a hurry.

Zhao Chengtai had already set up the formation, and the Wu Yue army crossbowmen held bows and arrows, silently watching the chaotic Tang army, and as the distance got closer and closer, the bowstring was pulled even wider.

"Shoot!" When the Tang army fled to the firing range, Zhao Chengtai gave an order, and the arrows rained down like locusts, and half of the sky was suddenly covered. With a bloodthirsty glow, the arrow feathers pierced the Tang people's chests and pierced their throats.

Wu Yuejun's crossbowmen kept shooting, and the casualties of the Tang army were getting bigger and bigger, Zhou Hongzuo shrewdly retreated, glanced left and right, and there was chaos all around, and no one noticed him. Zhou Hongzuo quickly jumped off the war horse and ran towards the dense forest on the left. At this time, it is more important to escape.

Zhou Zong was more honest, and ran wildly with the rout, Wu Yuejun's arrow feathers blocked him, and the war horse was hit by an arrow, and he fell down with a scream. Zhou Zong fell off his horse and his butt hurt, so he couldn't take care of it and looked for a way to escape.

Zhao Chengtai prepared a large number of arrows, and he didn't know how many waves he shot, and the corpses of the Tang soldiers were piled up on the side of the road, and those who escaped by chance were also chased and hacked to death by the cavalry.

Blood flowed along the ground, smelling a strong fishy smell, Zhao Chengtai couldn't help laughing, he had been defeated and discriminated against by the Wuyue army and civilians, but he had been waiting silently, hoping to have an opportunity to prove himself, and now, when the opportunity came, he also grasped it.

The mountains of corpses of the Tang army are all rewards, and they will turn into yellow gold, or mansions.

Zhao Chengtai narrowed his eyes and said, "Cut off the left ear of the Tang Army soldier and go back to Hangzhou to ask for credit!" ”

"Whoa!" Wu Yuebing happily replied, formed a team and stepped forward, grabbed the corpse of the Tang soldier, dragged it out, cut off his left ear with a knife, and then put it in a cloth bag.

One left ear, two left ears, three left ears, a young soldier while cutting, while reading, there is an unconcealable excitement on his face, these are all credits, maybe these ears can be exchanged for dozens of dollars, he can buy a small house, and then marry a virtuous daughter-in-law, and have a large group of children.

Suddenly, when he grabbed the head of the next person, the man suddenly moved and said, "Don't kill me, I'm Zhou Situ." ”

"Zhou Situ?" The young soldier was stunned for a moment, and it took a lot of effort for him to remember that Situ seemed to be an official position, and he didn't know how big it was? But looking at the official in front of him, who was about forty years old, he saw that he was wearing silk, which was not something that ordinary people could wear.

"Haha, catch a big fish!" The young soldier said, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Zhou Zong.

"Lighter, lighter!" Zhou Zong couldn't bear the pain and said.

"Lighter? What if you run away? You're my big fish! The young soldier said.

"Big fish?" When Zhou Zong heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, his dignified Situ actually became a big fish today, which really made people laugh off their big teeth.

The young soldier was in charge of a lot, firmly clasped Zhou Zong with his hands, buckled Zhou Zong's hands in reverse, and escorted him back.

"General Zhao, you caught a big fish!" The young soldier shouted at a distance.

"Oh? Big fish, how big is it? Zhao Chengtai heard it, laughed, turned over and dismounted, and walked forward.

When he got closer, Zhao Chengtai saw Zhou Zong dressed as a scribe, could it be the supervisor of the Tang Army? Well, that's a big fish.

"General Zhao, what kind of Zhou Situ did he say!" The young soldier smiled and brought Zhou Zong forward, and Zhou Zong stumbled a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

"Zhou Situ? Are you Zhou Zong? The commander of the Don Army this time? When Zhao Chengtai heard this, he was also taken aback, he was able to catch the commander of the first army, this credit is too great.

Zhou Zong was on the side, his head lowered, and he was silent, the general of the defeated army, what could he say at this time?

"General Zhao asked you something, why didn't you answer?" The young soldier was furious and kicked Zhou Zong.

Zhou Zong suddenly fell to the ground and gnawed on the mud.

"Hey, how can you do that? Zhou Situ is a big official! Zhao Chengtai laughed and said mockingly, but he felt extremely happy in his heart, and the depression of the months was swept away. After catching Zhou Zong, things will be much easier, perhaps, this time the war that has lasted for more than half a year will come to an end.

Zhao Chengtai stepped forward and helped Zhou Zong up, and sweat broke out on Zhou Zong's painful face. The soldier's kick was heavy, but even heavier was that he had been stabbed in the foot by thistles, making it difficult for him to stand.

Zhou Zong wanted to try to stand firm, but at this time, Zhao Chengtai deliberately let go, Zhou Zong's feet slipped, and he fell to the ground again.

"Oh, how is Zhou Situ safe?" Zhao Chengtai showed a look of pity on his face, stepped forward again, and helped Zhou Zong up. (To be continued.) )
