After leading the officers and soldiers to break the defense of the old battalion, the drill sentry quickly rushed to the horse circle and pulled out some horses. His personal guards and several officers and soldiers beside Fan Miaoshou immediately mounted their horses and chased after the scattered thieves. This time, he surrendered decisively and made a great contribution to the official army. As long as you kill a few more powerful masters, you may be able to get a big official position.

So he turned to look at his brother who had returned to his side, as well as Fan Miaoshou who was fighting with him, and said loudly: "Follow me this way, this side of the road can ride a horse to the rear of Yang Laochai, let's take this opportunity to chop him up." ”

"Lead the way, and my brothers and I will follow you closely." Fan Shunjiang heard that he could make a big contribution, so he supported his suggestion very much.

After getting Fan Miaoshou's permission, the Drill Sky Sentinel rode a horse and quickly rushed to the rear of General Yang's formation. On the way, he also killed several escaped thieves, but they did not dismount and cut the ranks. Instead, he ignored it and rushed to the target's territory with all his might. It's just that they didn't catch up after all, and on the way they ran into some thieves who fled to the old camp.

The Drill Sky Sentry and the others, who had won the victory in a moment, had already understood that most of the pseudo-Yang troops were defeated by the real Yang General Army. Some unwilling drilled the sky sentry, and suddenly saw a group of thieves. The Drill Sky Sentry, who was greatly surprised, said hello to Fan Miaoshou, and rushed towards the other party.

One of the other party's henchmen was the first to react and discovered the attacking Sky Drill Sentry and others. The drill sentry shouted: "The surname is Du, your grandfather is here, leave your head behind." After speaking, he raised his knife and rushed towards a thief boss who usually squeezed him.

One of the thief guards who reacted quickly stabbed out a shot, and the Sky Drill Sentinel deftly opened it with a knife, and continued to kill Du San. It was just that the subsequent slash did not succeed, and Du San desperately dodged it. Some of the other thieves continued to flee, while others fought again.

Du San's henchman knocked his brother off the horse with a gun. In order to save his relatives, the drill sentry had to give up and continue to chase Du San. Instead, he slapped his horse and forced back the other thieves who were close to his own brother, and after the drill sentry quickly turned back, the thieves who were still resisting scattered and fled.

It's just that the escaped thieves didn't get far, and they were successively killed by the subordinates who drilled the sky outpost and the officers and cavalry who came together. The Sky Sentry found that Du San's trace had been lost, and Du San's henchmen were fleeing north on his brother's warhorse. The drill sentry naturally refused to let the other party escape, and chased after the other party with a greeting. His subordinates and the other two officers and soldiers present followed closely behind the Sky Drill Sentry and continued to pursue.

??????

Zhao Ran rode his horse and quickly fled to the north, and the captured war horse under him was originally his mount. Therefore, he galloped in the mountains, relying on his tacit understanding with his mount and his excellent riding skills, and gradually widened the distance between himself and the pursuers behind him. On the way, he also saw other thieves fleeing, some on horseback, others just running on their own legs.

It's just a complex terrain, coupled with the deterrence of the pursuers behind him. From time to time, these terrified thieves fell into the cliff with people or horses. Their cries of terror will be unforgettable for the rest of their lives. Zhao Ran simply noticed that there was no big boss among these people.

Although relieved, the current situation is not so much. Zhao Ran, who was on a single horse, could only drive his mount to the north. If he is lucky enough, he may be able to escape from the pursuit of the official army and flee to the Luo family's Dafengtai. It's just that the situation is even worse, when Zhao Ran drove the war horse to a junction, the road in front of him had been blocked by the official army.

Although it is not known whether this group of officers and soldiers is northeast or northwest, they appear to be well-trained. Slowly approaching, they kept their formation, and the thieves who rushed forward to try to break through were slashed one by one. Due to their momentum, many desperate thieves could only kneel and cry for mercy. There are also many people who stay where they are and don't know what to do.

At that moment, a rogue on horseback suddenly accelerated, crossing a narrow mountain stream in front of him. After that, ignoring the surprised eyes of the officers and thieves, he continued to flee towards the north. After seeing that some people succeeded, some people rode horses one after another to follow suit. Occasionally, some succeeded, but many more fell into mountain streams and wailed.

Some of the thieves on foot expect to be able to cross on their legs, while others use the tools at hand to try to build a rudimentary bridge. Many more wielded their blades, killed their fellow horsemen, and snatched their horses to jump over streams. Zhao Ran used a weapon to force back a thief with bad intentions, and hesitated what to do.

It just didn't make him hesitate for long, and the drill sentry and others in the rear chased after him. Drilling the Sky Sentry looked at Zhao Ran, who was trying to jump into the stream, stopped the war horse and said with a smile: "You jump, you jump, isn't your surname Zhao usually crazy with Du San's majesty, this time Lao Tzu is going to pick your skin." If you don't want to be skinned, you jump forward into the stream, Lao Tzu just wants to see how you fall to your death. Hahaha. ”

was caught by the Sky Drill Sentinel, and Zhao Ran definitely couldn't get a good time. He usually has a lot of stumbling blocks for the Sky Drilling Sentry, and all of them are open and not hidden in the slightest. But he has no confidence in jumping the stream, and he doesn't want to be like that because of the miserable appearance of the failed person in front of him.

"You coward, I have long seen that you don't have the guts of a mouse. You just wait to be skinned, Lao Tzu is here to clean you up now. Seeing that Zhao Ran had been hesitating and not jumping, the Sky Drill Sentry lost patience and beckoned several people behind him to surround Zhao Ran together.

Zhao Ran was stimulated by the movements of the pursuers behind him, and he dropped the weapon in his hand and closed his eyes tightly. The Drill Sky Sentry and the others present thought that he was going to surrender, but then Zhao Ran suddenly urged the horses and rushed towards the mountain stream in front of him at full speed.

After a loud hiss, Zhao Ran, who closed his eyes and handed over all his movements to the mount under him, successfully crossed the mountain stream that swallowed a lot of lives. In the surprised sight of the people around him, especially the drill sentry, Zhao Ran laughed and escaped from the encirclement of the official army.

Soon after that, a series of battles between the officers and the thieves that had begun in the western trench on the 11th finally came to an end. Although the escape of Zhao Ran, a small person, is insignificant, it does not need to be recorded in the Tang Daily.

However, in Cao Wenzhao's report, it was recorded that the official army killed 329 thieves in the battle of attacking the mountain on the 12th, and those who fell into the stream were not counted. The thief leaders Li Dusi, Du San, and Yang Pseudo General (Yang Laochai) were beheaded by the officers and soldiers.

In the two days before and after, the officers and soldiers of various places beheaded more than 1,000 people in total. The morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and the soldiers of Gansu Town also swept away the sluggish defeat of Tiejiao City before. Wu Fu happily reported to the imperial court and said: "It is a service to relieve the danger of Pinggu Zhenyuan, and the courage of the thieves in Dongchuan." That is, the soldiers of Gansu are suddenly new, and Yang Jiamo and others also have to harvest for Sangyu, and from then on, they will work together to level or have an opportunity! ”

In addition to Yang Jiamo regaining Wu Fu's favor, the officers and soldiers of Lintao Town, who performed the most outstanding in this campaign, were led by Cao Wenzhao, Feng Ju, Cao Bianjiao, Liu Chenggong, Ping'an, Li Dengbang, Diao Mingzhong, Wu Shixuan and others were all rated as front-to-head generals. And Yu Shibo, a tribute student who was supposed to go to Beijing to take the test, let his name be conveyed to the emperor's ears in advance.

And the people of Yansui Town, who also performed outstandingly, were also praised by Wu Fu again. Regarding their previous embarrassing identity, Wu Fu said: "The husband is not without talent in the world, and he is not a little out of the ordinary, and if he wants to use his talents, he can't get them." While repeatedly commending Zhang Mengjin and his gang, he also told the imperial court that he would promote talents without exception and not be bound by rules and regulations.

Zhang Mengjin was first promoted to garrison not long because of his status as a demote, and because of his status. So after that, although they made many military exploits, they have not been promoted. Now according to the requirements of the imperial history, Zhang Mengjin's career will finally usher in further improvement.
