The cold wind was cold, Liu Zongmin was calm, "Chen Liu, when you rush out later, you will say that I have escaped, and lure them to divide their troops to hunt down, if they believe it, then they will naturally be happy, don't use force, we can also get out, if they don't believe it, you don't have to worry, I will answer you."

There is a strong enemy in front and a chasing soldier in the back, this is a time of life and death, however, infected by Liu Zongmin, dozens of old soldiers are not afraid and praise one after another, "The leader's method is very wonderful, and it will definitely be successful!" ”

Chen Liu even promised loudly, "Don't worry, the leader, Xiaoliu will never let you down."

Liu Zongmin bowed slightly, "Go!" ”

Chen Liu didn't say much, just rushed out, "It's not good, everyone, Liu Thief has set fire to the grain, and he has already run north."

Shi Chang, who was guarding the checkpoint, was skeptical, "Liu Zongmin ran so fast? ”

"Yes, the villain saw with his own eyes, Liu Zongmin led dozens of rebels to the north"

"So, can I catch up?"

"If you hurry up, Liu Zongmin will not be able to escape"

Shi Chang hesitated, on the one hand, he was seizing Liu Zongmin's temptation, and on the other hand, it was his own duty, "However, the king asked me to take care of the checkpoint here, and I can't afford to lose it."

"General, you can't miss the opportunity, if you are not in a hurry, can you put the switch card and let our brother go first?"

Shi Chang was furious, "The king has an order, and no one is allowed to leave the customs without his hand!" ”

Chen Liuqiao's tongue was like a spring, "General, capturing Liu Zongmin, this is a great achievement, if you don't care, can you be magnanimous and let me wait to pass the level?" ”

Shi Changtie's face was blue, and he "spitted" viciously, "What kind of thing are you, no one is allowed to leave the city without the king's warrant!" ”

Chen Liu's face froze, and he was about to refute, when Liu Zongmin hurried over among the soldiers.

"Quick, the king has an order, immediately go out of the pass to contain Liu Zongmin, there must be no mistake!"

"Knock knock", heavy footsteps sounded, and dozens of soldiers followed Liu Zongmin and ran wildly.

The noise was endless, and the soldiers were noisy, vowing to arrest Liu Zongmin.

Shi Chang, who was guarding the pass, frowned, he always felt that the figure of the person at the head was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Wrong!

Shi Chang's eyelids jumped sharply, and he was just about to make a warning, but at this time, Chen Liu had already rushed to him.

"Poof", the sword flashed, and the guards threw the headless body to the ground.

killed the city gate captain with one blow, Chen Liu was not proud, he still kept a straight face, and shouted loudly: "Blocker, die!" ”

A loud sound rang out far away, and the rogues on both sides were terrified.

Liu Zongmin laughed loudly, "Guts rats, it's Liu Zongmin, who dares to fight with me?" ”

Liu Zongmin's courage and good fighting have long been famous among the thief army.

The change was sudden, although there were many guards at the city gate, they didn't expect that Chen Liu and Liu Zongmin were all thieves, and they suffered heavy casualties if they were careless.

Someone tried to close the report, but was stabbed to death by Liu Zongmin with a spear.

Fortunately, Shi found the mount in the village, otherwise, even if he went out of the city smoothly, he could not run with four legs on two legs, and he would be caught up by Cai Zhong sooner or later.

Now it's different, more than 30 thieves and Liu Zongmin are speeding south.

The huge fire in the city had already alarmed the troops of the military village, and they were ready to fight to the death with armor and swords.

Commander Liu has already entered the city, could it be that he couldn't set this fire?

What is it that burns to have such a big fire?

"Xu is the eldest brother has an accident, hurry up and gather troops and horses to respond"

"Where's this military village?"

"Leave the fifty brothers to take care of it, and the rest wait with me into the city to see what is going on."

"Okay, there are soldiers in hand, there is always one more way to retreat, and if you order it to go down, you can't lose it here no matter what"

"Understood!"

Gao Yingxiang has already received the news that Liu Zongmin escaped from the city, "Waste, rice bucket, chase quickly, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he must be caught."

"King, Liu Zongmin still has hundreds of brocade thieves, how to deal with them?"

"Take"

"No!"

Outside the city, there was chaos.

"Liu Zongmin thief, get off the horse and die!"

"The king has laid a net from heaven and earth, and you can't escape"

"Da Da Da", the horses' hooves rumbled, and the pursuers had two hundred horsemen

Forty against two hundred? Liu Zongmin felt that the odds of winning were not great.

It's time to see the poor dagger, Shouyang is full of enemies, and if you stay for a moment, there will be more danger.

Only when you board the boat and go down the river can you be considered an escape!

After another four or five miles, by this time the pursuers had already bent their bows and arrows, and began to harass the archery.

Liu Zongmin himself is naturally not afraid of stray arrows, but his subordinates continue to be killed by arrows.

"Big brother, fight with them!"

"After running for so long, the horses can't hold it anymore, big brother, make a decision quickly!"

Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth, he stared at the crimson eyes, and said angrily: "Fight a bird, let's turn around and fight, lose the speed of the horse, wouldn't it be slaughtered by others?" Even if it is a battle to the death, it will have to find a place in my favor, and I remember clearly that there is a steep slope two hundred paces ahead, and we will wait there."

"Whoa!"

The distance of two hundred steps was in a flash, Liu Zongmin suddenly beat his horse and stood up, and the Jingzhou army behind was stunned at first, and then laughed wildly: "Haha, Liu thief, can you figure it out?" ”

Liu Zongmin sneered: "I'll talk to your grandma!" ”

After that, Liu Zongmin hit the horse and rushed.

The chasing generals are naturally not afraid, although Liu Zongmin is brave, but there are not many soldiers and horses under his command, it is a good time to capture it in one fell swoop, "Death is still hard-mouthed!" ”

"It's not certain who will die or who will live!" Relying on the convenient location, Liu Zongmin took a big advantage from high to low.

"Keng", a knife striked, the general felt numb, if it wasn't for the soldiers around him to help in time, maybe this round would have seen blood.

"Kill!"

The soldiers and horses of the two sides fought together, and there were more people chasing after them, but compared with Liu Zongmin's men and horses, there was a lot less murderous spirit.

However, in the melee of the cavalry, in the end, the side with more people has the advantage.

At the beginning, Liu Zongmin's soldiers and horses had the upper hand with their personal bravery, but after a few rounds, most of their strength was exhausted, and at this time, the counterattack of the pursuers was still not fatal.

Every moment someone falls to the ground.

On the other side, Liu Zongmin was completely red-eyed, for several months, Liu Zongmin has always had a depressed breath in his heart, and today he fought back and burned the warehouse, only three percent of the fire gas came out, and the remaining seventy percent of the fire gas was still accumulated in the chest and abdomen.

Now, the brother who is like a brother died tragically, Liu Zongmin was furious, he roared, and split the two soldiers on the opposite side in half, leaving the general's face changed greatly, and he wanted to flee, however, how could Liu Zongmin, who was in the fire, let him escape?

"Die!"

Before the words fell, the long knife came out again.

"Poof", a large stream of blood burst out of the neck of the chasing general, he covered his throat, "ho ho" wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word again.

"Whoever stops me, die!" Liu Zongmin killed the enemy general and was invincible.

However, before leaving the city, Gao Yingxiang had already promised a heavy reward, and the rogue cavalry knew in their hearts that as long as Liu Zongmin was entangled, after the reinforcements arrived, this thief would definitely die.

With a bottom in his heart, although the rogues were afraid of Liu Zongmin's might, they still gathered and did not disperse.

Liu Zongmin was so anxious that he rushed left and right in the formation, killing the enemy's twelve horsemen, but he could not prevent the Liukou cavalry from surrounding his soldiers and horses.

At this time, there were only nineteen people left under Liu Zongmin's command who could fight.

A thief general shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, and Liu Thief's life will not be long in coming."

For a time, the chasing army was in full swing.

Liu Zongmin was unwilling, with his skills, if he wanted to escape alone, naturally no one could stop him, however, he wanted to live and die with his soldiers, but looking at the appearance of the pursuers, it was clear that he was determined to entangle him.

If it drags on any longer, once Gao Yingxiang's reinforcements arrive, Liu Zongmin will only have the only way to escape.

Why am I wholeheartedly good, but Gao Yingxiang has murdered me three times and twice?

Why do I want to pull back from the precipice, but this Shouyang can't tolerate me?

Why!

Liu Zongmin slashed out one knife after another, as if he was going to slash out all the depression.

However, the rogues who avoid their edge always hold on.

The battle situation is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to Liu Zongmin, and if it continues like this, it will not be long before Liu Zongmin's subordinates will be killed and wounded.

At the last moment, a uniform shout came from the rear, but it was the soldiers and horses in Liu Zongmin's camp who came.

"Big brother, reinforcements are coming!" The besieged people were overjoyed.

If there is life, no one wants to die easily.

When the new force arrived, Liu Zongmin became more and more courageous, but the pursuers on the opposite side seemed to have exhausted their last strength, and it didn't take long for them to disperse and flee.

The morale of the soldiers and horses under Liu Zongmin's command was greatly boosted, and many chasing soldiers were cut down one after another, however, Liu Zongmin understood very well that time was in a hurry and must not be delayed for too long, otherwise, once the army arrived, everyone would have to finish the game.

"Chen San, you came in time, brother, I wrote it down!"

"Ha, where is the eldest brother, my life was saved by the eldest brother!"

"Pass the order, don't chase the enemy, quickly return to the camp and leave here"

"Ah, why is that?"

"Gao Yingxiang set a trap and wanted to kill me, I will kill all the way, and if I delay, I am afraid that Gao Yingxiang's men will block the official road, in that case, it will be a big deal."

Liu Zongmin summarized the incident in a few words, and several generals who came to the rescue scolded after hearing this, they didn't dare to be verbose, and hurriedly ordered their troops and horses to turn back.

"Wang Chen, you take your three brothers here to wait for a stick of incense, if there are pursuers here, immediately light a cigarette to warn, there must be no mistake"

"Whoa!"

"If there are no pursuers, you will return to the military village after a stick of incense, and I will leave a horse for you"

"Thank you, big brother"

Liu Zongmin patted Wang Chen's shoulder and said no more.

The people and horses warned by the palace will die nine times, and if they are careless, nine times out of ten they will be unexpected.

The reason why Liu Zongmin left Wang Chen was because this person not only had excellent martial arts, but also had a lot of courage.

There is still a five-mile road from this dirt slope to the military village, and it takes a small half a column of incense to run wildly all the way.

When the people and horses enter the village, they have to arrange for the army to flee, and thousands of people want to leave, at least it will take half an hour, and in such a long time, anything can happen. Therefore, leaving a sentry on the soil slope to warn is the best choice, at least it can leave Liu Zongmin more time to prepare.

The three brothers Chen San and Chen six needed to lead their subordinates, and they couldn't get out of the way, so Wang Chen, who was deeply favored by Liu Zongmin, became the best choice.

In other words, if you change the coward, maybe the enemy army will flee before it arrives, and in that case, it will naturally delay the big thing.

After hurriedly arranging, Liu Zongmin led the crowd straight to the water village.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang's messenger had already conveyed the news of Liu Zongmin's rebellion to the whole army.

Liu Zongmin's camp, he abandoned all the grain and baggage, and only brought 800 troops, Rao is so, it still took half an hour of effort.

At the right time, Wang Chen has already lit the wolf smoke, which shows that the chasing soldiers are imminent.

Time was in a hurry, Liu Zongmin didn't dare to delay, he hurriedly led the team to leave.

Wang Chen was very lucky, and not long after he and his companions left, the pursuers arrived.

Liu Zongmin went down the river at an extremely fast speed.

The pursuers had no ships, so they could only look at each other and sigh.

Narrowly escaped, Liu Zongmin still did not relax his vigilance, he knew that once Gao Yingxiang was prepared, he would still die.

"Qu Shuai, let's go back to Taiyuan, when we get there, forgive him and don't dare to come to die"

Liu Zongmin shook his head and said, "Thousands of stones and grains have been burned clean by me, Gao Yingxiang is afraid that he will not spare me easily, and it is impossible for us to rely on our eight hundred centaurs to imagine that they are as free as before."

Chen San hesitated, and said: "Zhang Xianzhong is quite prestigious, why don't you vote for him?" ”

Liu Zongmin retorted: "Zhang Xianzhong, villain, I helped him a lot, but he went to Sichuandi, this person is definitely not the master." ”

After Chen Liu pondered for a long time, "Let's go and find the general!" ”

General Chuang refers to Li Zicheng, who and Liu Zongmin are old acquaintances.

To put it bluntly, Liu Zongmin can be where he is today, thanks to Li Zicheng's strong help.

It's just that at the moment, Liu Zongmin and Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, have a complete falling out, and at this time, I am afraid that taking refuge in Li Zicheng will lead the troubles to the east.

Treacherous things, Liu Zongmin will not do, "No, the general will help me a lot, how can I drag him into the water?" ”

Chen Liuyi was speaking, "Leader, only the general can fight against the king of Chuang, if you don't vote for him, the world is so big, where is the place for me to go?" ”

Liu Zongmin disagreed, "I have hands and feet, can't I live without a backer?" ”

"Think twice about the leader, whether it's Lu Xiangsheng or Wang Teng, these two people are definitely not good people, if we leave the team, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable."

Liu Zongmin frowned, "Needless to say, I won't go there anyway!" Where else are you going? ”

"Chief, how is Wang Teng?"

"Wang Teng?"

The group was dumbfounded.

Wang Teng is an official army, and he is a general who defeated Liu Zongmin some time ago.

At this time, Chen Liu actually wanted to take refuge in Wang Teng, which was too frightening.

It is rumored that Wang Teng is invincible and is the confidant of Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda.

It's just that Wang Teng has always been harsh in employing people, and Liu Zongmin surrendered, will he accept it?

Moreover, Wang Teng is just a five-grade guard, will he take refuge in him, will Liu Zongmin's identity be damaged?

If it weren't for Wang Teng's deeds being widely spread, the surrounding generals would not have looked at each other.

Hesitation means agree!

As we all know, Wang Teng has a very good reputation among the people, this person will do what he says, and the generals under his command have a complicated background, if Liu Zongmin takes refuge in him, he may be able to spell out a future.

"Leader, Wang Teng is just a guard"

Liu Zongmin was dismissive, "What about the garrison?" The Ming Dynasty can defeat my garrison only him, such a character, I serve! ”

Liu Zongmin himself doesn't care about fame, what else can others say?

In fact, for people like Liu Zongmin, who were born as "thieves", Wang Teng's policy of only asking about talent, regardless of background, morality, and talent is simply tailor-made for them.

Instead of dying in the hands of Gao Yingxiang, it is better to descend Wang Teng! (To be continued.) )
