This time, Zhu Changyuan had experience, instead of looking for Zhang Xianzhong everywhere in the city, the target was too big and too chaotic to find, but transferred his subordinates to the west gate, and let the prisoners divide their soldiers to go to the south gate, and intercept Zhang Xianzhong to prevent him from escaping. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is no gate in the north of the city, no need to guard!

As for the enemy troops in the city, they had long been frightened, and where there were still people to organize resistance, all the soldiers ran desperately out of the city.

Not long after, I received the news of the captivity: Zhang Xianzhong was found, and the goods escaped through the south gate.

Zhu Changyuan led the army to the south gate non-stop, looked in the direction of Po Yu's finger, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Xianzhong running towards the Han River surrounded by his subordinates.

Po Yu said: "Master, there are too many enemy troops, I rushed and killed a few times, but I couldn't rush in." ”

Although Po Lu also led 5,000 men and horses, but he alone has an iron horse, so naturally he can't rush to Zhang Xianzhong's side, Zhu Changyuan said: "I don't blame you, you just garrison here, collect the army, and collect all the people left by Zhang Xianzhong, and I will pursue it." ”

After saying that, he turned over his horse and led two hundred people to rush all the way.

Zhang Xianzhong had a lot of people around him, and he couldn't get close after being shocked a few times, so he had to watch him get on the boat and cross the river and walk south.

"Alas!" Zhu Changyuan slapped his thigh angrily and said, "You can't let him escape this time no matter what, you guys scattered around to nearby farmers and fishermen's houses, looking for boats, and you were going to cross the river!" ”

As long as the heart can cross the river, aren't you Zhang Xianzhong my meat? It's a pity that I forgot to bring a speedboat with me, otherwise would it be so difficult to pursue that Zhang Xianzhong?

In half an hour, his subordinates got a small boat from nearby, Zhu Changyuan put the horses into the system, gritted his teeth, and looked for a few locals who could row boats to drive the boat. Alone to pursue Zhang Xianzhong.

"Master, I'll accompany you!" Seeing that Zhu Changyuan wanted to pursue Zhang Xianzhong alone, he felt a little inappropriate.

Zhu Changyuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay." When you go back to collect the army, Zhang Xianzhong will only have 100 people with him. When I catch up with him, I will definitely take his head back. ”

After speaking, he ordered the boatman to drive the boat, and by the time the boat reached the opposite south bank, Zhang Xianzhong had already disappeared.

The road was not good when it was dark, so Zhu Changyuan had no choice but to ride an ironclad horse to chase and look for it, asking as he walked. Fortunately, his horse was extremely fast, and it took him two hours to catch up.

When he caught up with Zhang Xianzhong, Zhu Changyuan smiled.

However, this time it was not a happy laugh. Rather, angry laughter.

"Hahahaha, Xiaoer Zhang Xianzhong, dare to bully me?" Zhu Changyuan was furious and slaughtered everyone, he chased after him hard, and what he saw was Zhang Xianzhong, but it was just a fake with a bag dropped.

Fooled.

Zhang Xianzhong was really cunning, Zhu Changyuan rested on the spot for a while, quietly calmed down, and thought a little bit. finally removed the boredom in his heart, and secretly said that Zhang Xianzhong is also a generation of heroes, if it is such a trick, it will not be. To teach me to underestimate him.

patted his buttocks, returned to the riverside, and personally went to the nearby fisherman's house to find a boat to carry him to Jiangbei, tossed back to Yunyang in the middle of the night, and ordered someone to torture the soldiers overnight, and finally got the real Zhang Xianzhong where!

Zhang Xianzhong crossed the river well, but unfortunately he didn't go to the south bank of the river, let alone after he broke the city, but before he broke the city at the west gate. And he took two great ships full of five hundred soldiers.

He went upstream, as for where he went against the Han River. I don't know.

After a busy night, only the interrogation came out with such a result. The eastern sky has turned white, and a new day has begun.

Zhu Changyuan simply had breakfast, and ordered Po to search for two medium-sized boats in Yunxian County, carrying 200 soldiers and horses all the way up, along the Han River to find Zhang Xianzhong.

asked while walking, stopped and stopped, and finally learned where Zhang Xianzhong was going after thirty miles of upstream.

Thirty miles upstream of Yunxian County, there is a big river from south to north that flows into the Han River, and after a little inquiry, I learned that the name of this river is called the Blocking River, which is the first tributary of the Han River.

Locals said that last night, someone came by boat from the east, turned the bow of the boat at the mouth of the river, and then went all the way south in the direction of the river and the river.

Moreover, the appearance and scale of Zhang Xianzhong's team they described were very similar to what the soldiers in the city had said before, so Zhu Changyuan abandoned the ship and landed, and led 200 iron horsemen all the way south in the direction of blocking the river and going against the current.

Zhu Changyuan thought that his army should be walking much faster on land than Zhang Xianzhong. However, he was wrong.

The more you go inside, the bigger the mountain, the more rugged the ground, the horses exchanged in the Rao is system are extremely strong, and they can't fully speed up to catch up, what makes Zhu Changyuan even more painful is: On both sides of the river valley, many of them are swamps, and no matter how good the horses are, they can't walk like flying in the swamps.

"It seems that Zhang Xianzhong still doesn't know the local terrain." Zhu Changyuan sighed, and after walking forty or fifty miles with difficulty, he encountered a rather prosperous town: Huanglong Town.

When I asked the people in the town, I learned that Zhang Xianzhong had already gone south by boat, and it would take half a day or more for his troops to catch up with him.

Moreover, if it is still this terrain all the way north, then it will be pressed, and I don't know if I can catch up!

This time, I didn't dare to be careless, and inquired with the locals and learned that the road ahead was even more rugged and difficult, not to mention horses, and it was difficult for people to walk without taking a boat, and there were many wild beasts, snakes and insects in the deep mountains and old forests.

Zhu Changyuan didn't have anything to do, so he could only requisition two big boats in Huanglong Town in the name of the government and walked slowly towards the mountains.

It takes time to go upstream, not to mention that there is no serious shape in this section of the river, and it took two days to reach a county seat.

It is said that it is the county seat, but in fact, it is not much better than Huanglong Town, and the people in it not only live in poverty, but even the urban defense of the county can be ignored.

Zhushan County!

A place in the mountains, far more remote than Fang County, so remote that birds can't fly in.

However, it is such a small place, and there are still officials stationed in the imperial court, and there are no bandits here, and although the people are poor, they can live and work in peace and contentment, as if they are a paradise.

It's just that, these days, the tranquility has been broken.

First, yesterday a group of men and horses captured the county seat, and then today, Zhu Changyuan led 200 cavalry to arrive.

The city defense of Zhushan County is very broken, and the gate is also very broken, which is similar to Fang County, or even worse than Fang County.

Let's put it this way, there is a Malan River in the county seat of Fangxian County, and there is a beach land with a radius of several kilometers that can be cultivated at the bend, but there is no land around Zhushan County.

Well, it can't be said that there is absolutely none, anyway, there are very few, even a slightly larger scale of bandits can't afford to raise.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is difficult to spread the flames of war in this kind of place, and once someone occupies Yunyang and Xiangyang, this kind of place will naturally surrender. Therefore, the county town basically has no defensive power.

Zhang Xianzhong suddenly came with 500 soldiers, went up to fight, and the soldiers occupied the city before they could enjoy it.

However, today, Zhu Changyuan also arrived, and he still came with more than 200 cavalry.

So, Zhu Changyuan started a new round of siege despite fatigue.

200 people attacked the city garrisoned by 500 people, it was still an abandoned city, the resistance was not great, and no fancy means were used, and the impact of this cavalry alone easily broke through the city defense of the county seat of Zhushan County.

"Kill!" Zhu Changyuan has never been a soft-hearted person, and when he saw Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, he first rushed to kill, and most of the five hundred people were killed.

Anyway, they all ran to the depths of this mountain, and Zhu Changyuan didn't expect to recruit soldiers and then take care of the government when he arrived in Zhushan County, he only had one idea in his heart: kill all the soldiers, and then find out Zhang Xianzhong, the dog.

However, the facts told him that he was disappointed again.

The county seat of Zhushan County was broken, the government was captured, and Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates were almost slaughtered by Zhu Changyuan, but he still couldn't see Zhang Xianzhong's shadow.

Zhang Xianzhong once again told him with practical actions that escaping is a never-ending work.

Interrogating the soldiers who did not die, Zhu Changyuan sighed and said: "Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong, is worthy of being an old fox, worthy of a generation of heroes, he would not have died so easily, if someone else chased after him, I am afraid he would really have to run away." ”

"But!" He shook his hands tightly, clenched them into fists, and said, "Unfortunately, what you met today is my Zhu Changyuan, can't you run?" Sorry, I'm better at running! ”

The interrogation learned that Zhang Xianzhong had already run away, and he had just run away from Zhushan County yesterday, and the 500 soldiers who stayed here to defend the city were just a suspicious tactic, the purpose was to block Zhu Changyuan's pursuit and buy enough time for his escape.

"Brothers, eat in this city." After killing all the thieves who were defending the city, Zhu Changyuan chose a rather wide place in the city to prepare for dinner.

As for the rice? It is impossible to rob the people, Zhu Changyuan has his own plans.

I originally wanted to go back to modern society to get some boxed lunches for my brothers to eat, but I didn't expect that the magistrate of Zhushan County heard that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court had arrived, and killed all the thieves, and came to express his condolences excitedly.

After the magistrate came, he learned that the person who turned out to be the famous Zhu Changyuan turned out to be the famous Zhu Changyuan, so he was in awe, knelt on the ground and said: "Subordinate, subordinate meet the general!" ”

Zhu Changyuan's extermination of Sun Xiaofeng in Fang County, there are many, many legendary stories, and naturally they have also spread to Zhushan County, although Zhushan County is remote, but not far from Yunyang, only two or three hundred miles away.

After eating, he comforted them and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, this general will not bother with military affairs, please send someone to clean up the corpses of the bandits in the county, and leave here." ”

Riding away, looking at the upper reaches of the river, Zhu Changyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said secretly in his heart: Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong, you wait, Lao Tzu will arrive later! (To be continued.) )
