Zhai Mengzi is now the leader of all the cavalry bandits in Xinxiang City. The reason why he was able to become the leader was, of course, not elected, but stood out in the repeated escapes and vendettas between each other.

for he hates more than others.

Don't think that everyone who escaped from the former Qingzhou Army will be brothers, friends and brothers of each other, on the contrary, in order to compete for the limited little resources, the possibility of a big fight is higher when they meet. Qingzhou is tired, survival is difficult, after escaping from the camp, survival has become the first priority, there are not many people in Qingzhou, they have all been taken to the county by Lu must have gotten to the county, either to become a tun people, or to become a fang people, there are very few people who really slip out of the net, but it is not completely nothing, robbing them, it has become the first choice.

But there were more than 12,000 people who escaped from the camp, of which more than 5,000 were taken by Cai Qiang to take refuge in the imperial court, and the rest were counted as birds and beasts, and Zhai Mengzi was the larger one among them, with more than 300 people.

Most of these fleeing cavalry were people and horses of Deng Hong's era, who hated the imperial court and killed Deng Hong and destroyed Deng Hong, but they were also unwilling to surrender to the Ming people, because Deng Su and Deng Pu died in the hands of the Ming people, but the general trend is like this, they can't resist, it is better to flee and be free.

These people, except for Cai Qiang's department, which is a planned and organized escape, the rest of the people, but they have their own thoughts, none of them are leader, like a plate of loose sand, when they escaped, they were indignant for a while, and they didn't think much about anything else, after escaping, they found that it was not easy to survive, these people had nothing but to be soldiers and fight, and now, except for robbery, they can't do anything.

Competing with each other, killing, big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimp, and then merged into several large bandits, fighting with each other on the one hand, and dealing with the Ming people's extermination on the other hand, and finally only Zhai Mengzi was left. The rest either became ghosts under the sword, or took off their uniforms, lost their weapons, and fled into the mountains.

On the land of Qingzhou, this is also the last large-scale cavalry bandit.

In Xinxiang City, there are more than 1,000 people who have just returned from Qingzhou County, these people were originally from Xinxiang City, after the dissolution of Fang City, these people received the dismissal silver and returned to their hometowns to rebuild their homes, whether it is Han Kun or Chen Zhihua, they are naturally to be greatly encouraged, in addition to some of the food and daily supplies they have purchased, the county government has also sent a large number of farm tools, livestock and other things.

It's a pity that not long after they returned home, they were poisoned again, and Zhai Mengzi's brigade of cavalry bandits rushed into Xinxiang City.

Speaking of which, this is also deliberately done by Jian Fang, squeezing their living space little by little, and if these riders want to survive, there is only food in Xinxiang nearby, except here, they can't go anywhere else.

As an infantry-based tiger battalion, it is impossible to chase a large number of cavalry bandits above the huge territory, which is a thankless task, but if you set a battlefield in advance, and then lure the cavalry bandits to this territory, and then annihilate them with one blow, there is no problem.

The riders have a fatal problem, and that is the lack of food. Jian Fang blocked their other ways out, leaving only Xinxiang as an opening, if the bandits don't come here, where can they go?

Zhai Mengzi used to be just a small sentinel, and it was certain that he was fierce in battle, but when it came to strategic and tactical vision, the kung fu of setting traps, and where was Jian Fang's opponent, Jian Fang effortlessly forced him all the way to Xinxiang, and the rest was to annihilate him in a battle.

As for the people who are suffering in Xinxiang City, they are not in the consideration of Jianfang, these cavalry bandits are also your own people in Qingzhou County, if you die in the hands of these cavalry bandits, it is your life is not good, if you don't die, the imperial court and the county government will naturally come to help you, which is not within the consideration of the army.

How much food can a small city with more than 1,000 people live in? Zhai Mengzi rushed into the city, scraping the ground, and the food he collected was not enough to last them for many days, and the scouts he sent out had already discovered that a large number of Ming troops were attacking Xinxiang City.

Gotta leave right away. Zhai Mengzi knew that the Ming army that had been following him like a maggot attached to the bones was powerful, this day, he had thought too many ways to get rid of the opponent, but he couldn't do it, if he wanted to kill the other party, he would often fall into the trap of the other party, and now they have caught up again, if they are trapped in this Xinxiang City, they don't have to fight, they will starve themselves to death sooner or later.

Now that he is a strong man and a strong horse, and the remaining food is enough to eat for ten days, he wants to catch up with the cavalry in a wilderness, and the other party is dreaming.

As for where to go next, Zhai Mengzi doesn't know, anyway, the top priority is to get rid of the annoying Ming army behind him, and after escaping, he will have a wide sea and sky, and he will eat if he has it, and he will rob it if he doesn't have to eat.

Danyang Xintong can't go there, there is about to become a battlefield between the two countries, where do you go, you won't even be swallowed if you don't even bubble, Qingzhou County can't go, there are now a large number of Ming people stationed there, Kaiping County direction, there are also Ming troops stationed, but the border between Kaiping County and Qingzhou County is long enough, or where can you go, there is no food and no money, so they rushed into Kaiping County to grab a handful, and then retreated to Qingzhou County, now the Ming people are going to fight with the Qin court, maybe they can't take care of themselves for a while.

As for the future, what do you want to do so far? You have to get past the hurdle first.

"Get a good night's sleep, and in the early hours of the morning, all the brethren will go out of the North City." Zhai Mengzi ordered loudly, the information brought back by the scout before, the younger brother came from the east, thousands of foot soldiers, thousands of cavalry, that is all the enemies chasing behind him.

The only thing that troubles them is the more than 1,000 cavalrymen, as long as they don't get entangled by them, those infantry will only have to eat farts after them.

Zhai Mengzi was not at all worried that he would not be able to get rid of the enemy's pursuit.

The lights in the city are lit, there are the sound of the indulgent laughter of the bandits, the cries of the people, and the screams of women, as a bandit, the previous military discipline is naturally gone, Zhai Mengzi is too lazy to care, tomorrow will flee again, if these bastards waste their strength on the belly of the woman and lead to lack of strength, die on the way to escape, then they can only blame themselves. Anyway, he doesn't allow them to be so casual with his henchmen, this more than 1,500 horses, there are a lot of mountains inside, but they are just suppressed by themselves, or a few more deaths, but it is more conducive to mastering this team.

With a letter incense in his hand, Zhai Mengzi slept on the city wall. According to the enemy's military situation reported by the scouts, they will not arrive in Xinxiang until at least tomorrow morning, as for the infantry, it will come later, he is not in a hurry at all, he left Xinxiang, and then he will die again, it is good to sleep more peacefully.

He was an outlaw, but he also had a big heart, and he lay down on the wall and fell asleep.

A glimmer of dawn appeared in the sky, and the incense was also burned to the end, branding Zhai Mengzi's two fingers, he jumped up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and looked to the east, the weeds rose with the wind like waves, and still did not see the trace of the enemy, but it was not far away.

"Give the order to go down, gather the troops and horses, and prepare to go out of the city." He roared.

After a while, the city was in a hurry, and everywhere there was the sound of men and horses, and bands of cavalry came out of all places, carrying more or less parcels in their hands, thinking that it was not food, but some gold, silver, and jewelry.

Although they are now cavalry bandits, they were still the elite of the Qin army after all, and in the roar of rage, these cavalry bandits still lined up in formation and lined up on the streets to prepare for departure.

Xinxiang has no extra food, and the people in the city have all this bit of life food in their hands now, and it can only support more than ten days. They are cavalry, and defending the city is naturally not in consideration, and defending the city is equivalent to becoming a turtle in Wengzhong, sending his head to the sword of the Ming people.

Zhai Meng stretched a big waist, and looked at the east again, there, there were several horsemen and horses rushing for their lives, that was the scout he put in the east, and the Ming people really came.

He strode down the city, turned over and dismounted, and shouted, "Get out of the city!"

Bands of horsemen rushed out of the city gates and ran north. Another leader among the bandits, Liu Da Scar, rode up to him, "Boss, why don't you burn Xinxiang with a fire?"

"Huh?" Zhai Mengzi glared at him, "Why bother?"

"The Ming people call themselves benevolent and righteous teachers, but there are still more than a thousand people in this city, and the fire is ignited, will they not save them when they see death? In this way, it will be beneficial for us to either delay a lot of time, or to divide our troops to save people." Liu Da Scar smiled.

Zhai Mengzi nodded, "It makes sense, you can do it!" He clamped his legs and rode out of the city gates.

A moment later, a sky-high fire broke out in Xinxiang City.

Fifteen hundred horsemen galloped north in the midst of this fire.

More than ten miles away from Xinxiang City, more than 3,000 people of the Tiger Ben battalion has been lined up, rows of machine crossbows hidden in the infantry array, this is the only way for the cavalry bandits to escape from Xinxiang, in addition to breaking the Tiger Ben's array, they have no way out, either to go up the mountain, or to cross the water, which is a dead end for the cavalry bandits.

A sky-high fire ignited in the distance.

"General, it's Xinxiang City, these dog thieves, when they die, they don't forget to create evil!" One of the generals said indignantly.

"Kill them, and all iniquity will be taken away." Jian Fang said lightly, and the horsewhip pointed ahead: "How is the arrangement?"

The general smiled proudly: "Don't worry, general, this open field in front of you is the grave of the cavalry. With these arrangements, plus the crossbow machines, it's a great thing that they can have a small number of people rushing in front of us."

Jian Fang nodded slightly.
