The sun rose in the east, shining on this killing battlefield, Chen Xin stood on the south wall of the old camp of Zijinliang, erected his banner high, and the red flag of the flying tiger in Dengzhou fluttered high in the morning breeze. Under the sun, tens of thousands of rogue people are like dense ants covering the land, fleeing in all directions.

"My lord, the cavalry is coming."

Chen Xin took out a telescope and looked to the east, hundreds of cavalry galloped to the north of the camp, the riders were all red short military uniforms, it was the Dengzhou cavalry, it was undoubtedly Dengzhou cavalry, it came earlier than he imagined, and the timing was also very good, it seemed that they were not blocked by other rogues in the east.

"Let them bypass the camp from the north, and then go south to attack the rogues."

After Chen Xin finished giving the order, a staff officer jumped off the earthen ramparts, took the collected horses under the wall, and met them in the direction of the cavalry.

Most of the heralds around were on horseback, and they had just been taken from the camp of the Rogues, but they had to avoid obstacles on the ground, and they couldn't do much faster than on foot.

Wang Mafu collected the reports of several heralds and said to Chen Xin: "All the surrounding bandits have collapsed, after our attack began, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Scorpion Block, Xue Rengui and other troops had a camp roar, most of the thieves ran south with horsemen before dawn, and the rest of the wanderers also scattered and fled for their lives. Only two small bands tried to rescue, but after being attacked by the displaced people, they were attacked by our army, and then collapsed. At present, the first general and first divisions have broken into the Gao Yingxiang camp, the first general and second divisions have entered Xue Rengui's camp, the second general is advancing towards Cao Cao's camp, and they have not encountered strong resistance, and the third general is cleaning up the battlefield here. ”

"Did Zijin Liang catch it?"

"No, the personnel of the intelligence bureau with the army are interrogating the horse prisoners, according to their confessions, in front of the south gate of the old camp closed by our army, I saw Zijin Liang just rushing out, and the camp gate was in a scuffle, and then disappeared. Several persons have been escorted to identify the body. ”

"Ignore the other rogues, pick some people who are willing to surrender and know Zijin Liang as guides, and do your best to chase and kill Zijin Liang, as long as you don't find the corpse, you must continue to pursue, and you won't be able to find it if you run away."

Wang Mafu answered, and then paused and asked Chen Xin: "My lord, what can we do with these thousands of displaced people?" ”

"Bring the head of the Tiriku soldiers. Or if they recognize the fierce rogue, they will take it, and send it to Linxian County after screening, and the others will ......" Chen Xin turned his head to look at Wang Mafu, "Ask the missionary trainer to educate him." Then let them go. ”

Wang Mafu was puzzled: "They will go to other rogues again." ”

"So how do you say to do it? Who can afford to feed these many people, and the result of leaving them behind is that they eat up our food, and then they end up going to other rogues. ”

"Otherwise, let's inform Xuan Mo that he is a Henan parent official and should take care of this matter. It also saves him from saying that we are indulgent. ”

Chen Xin sighed, "What is Xuan Mo, what does he say if he likes to say anything, let's go and inform him." He didn't lead Zuo Liangyu's group of people to cut off their heads, I didn't want to kill these people, and I didn't want to send them into the tiger's mouth. After cleaning the battlefield, they will not send guards to guard them, and they will leave them. Whether they survive or not depends on whether their lives are hard or not. ”

Wang Mafu stopped talking and hurriedly went to the herald. He really couldn't think of a solution. Chen Xin had more considerations, these homeless people were free propaganda teams, and if they entered other rogue camps, they would spread the word that Dengzhou Town was as vicious as ghosts. As long as a deterrent like Cao Zhao is formed, it will be very beneficial to the future operations and foreign liaison in Zhongzhou, and the other is that there are so many people who can be captured and leave their lives, and those rogues will not resist desperately in the future.

Chen Xin looked at the old camp wall of Zijin Liang, which was full of corpses, gold, silver and jewelry, and hundreds of empty horses, and he couldn't help grinning at the corners of his mouth......

Zijin Liang is less than three miles away from Chen Xin at this time, and is fleeing among the displaced people to the west, although Zijin Liang has gray hair, he is still strong, and his body can still support him at this time, he has been born and died many times, and he has rich experience in escaping, although he is flustered in his heart, he is not in chaos. He took off the chain mail and the satin undershirt along the way, even the conspicuous red pants were taken off and lost, and a dirty piece of clothing was taken on a homeless person, and apart from this raged clothes, he now had only a short knife left in his body. Under his reminder, the two righteous sons did the same, taking off the good clothes they had stolen from their bodies and turning themselves into inconspicuous outcasts.

The Dengzhou soldiers were still pursuing, but they no longer killed those harmless homeless, as long as they had no weapons in their hands, they ignored them, and some people chased and shouted loudly, "Threaten never kill, catch a horse soldier and reward ten taels of silver......

The emaciated homeless people next to them ran less and less, they were already thin, and they had spent too much body in the madness before dawn, and after dawn, they were all exhausted, and the road was full of homeless people and foot soldiers begging for mercy, and the crowd still running was getting thinner and thinner.

But this is not a good thing for Zijin Liang, because his horse is gone, he is in the dark I don't know who dragged off the horse, Zijin Liang came down and grabbed the saddle, several struggles, but more and more homeless people robbed, the people behind rushed, his horse did not know where to go, after dawn found two righteous sons, the two of them were disgraced, and the horses were gone.

He couldn't get out of danger for a while by walking, and the fewer people who ran now, the more conspicuous he became. From time to time, they saw that there were horsemen running by, and there were other homeless people around, when the soldiers were in chaos, Zijinliang did not dare to reveal their identities, and the three of Zijinliang shouted loudly, asking the horsemen to stop and answer, and those horsemen were afraid of being caught by the homeless people to receive the reward, so they didn't even look at it, and fled with horse stocks.

"Enter your mother's Cao Cao, enter your mother's Gao Yingxiang, wait for Lao Tzu to catch you and fry you and tear you apart." Zijin Liang scolded in his heart, he didn't dare to stop at all, if it weren't for Cao Cao's pouting, how could he run to the north of Xiuwu, and wait for a pocket to ambush the Shandong soldiers, and now the Shandong soldiers came over with a slap of a stick, scolding Gao Yingxiang because he didn't come to the rescue, in fact, Gao Yingxiang also suffered heavy losses, the call sign and musket salvo of the tsunami in the dark mountains and mountains also made the camp roar in the camp of the king of Chuang, and he was only able to take away fifty or sixty percent of the horsemen in the panic. He himself has become a frightened bird, how can he have the kung fu to rescue Zijin Liang.

Several Dengzhou soldiers arrived on horseback, all of them were special service teams and Chinese sentinels, they did not stay with the cavalry, but undertook the vanguard task of opening the road on foot, and at this time they grabbed empty horses in the camp and scattered to chase them out. They quickly chased after the fleeing horsemen in front, and shouted as they passed by the homeless people, "The prince and young master Chen have an order, the coercion will not kill, and the coercion will catch a horse soldier and reward ten taels of silver, catch the first twenty taels of the thief, catch the Zijin Liang one thousand taels of silver, and ascend to a thousand households in Dengzhou Town!" ”

Zijin Liang hunched over, trying not to attract their attention. The horsemen rushed past him more than ten paces away, and they paid no attention to the fleeing men on foot, and shouted as they swept away.

The homeless people watched those officials and soldiers run over, but they didn't even kill them, most of them were coerced homeless. The breath in his heart was relieved, and he fell to the ground one after another, no longer fleeing. Several officers and soldiers ran for a while and shouted again, and there were scattered people who fell like dominoes in the places they passed, most of them were panicked, sitting on the ground and crying, and some of them had already run out of strength. He fell to the ground with his mouth open and his eyes glazed over.

Zijin Liang secretly shouted in his heart, this Ming army not only fought fiercely, but also was so good at demagoguery, and the price was 1,000 taels plus 1,000 households. He kept an eye on the two righteous sons with his spare eyes. Feeling that the two of them were slightly distanced, it seemed that he was afraid that he would kill them to avoid future troubles.

A righteous son said while running: "Father, don't worry, no one will fall for those dog officers and soldiers, and they will be killed from your hometown with you." What those dog officials are, they all understand. ”

Zijin Liang gasped and whispered, "Dog officials are all lies. You follow our Lao Tzu, and you will be our Lao Tzu's personal followers in the future, and there are women who eat and drink spicy food. ”

The two thanked each other in unison and expressed their loyalty. Zijin Liang remained silent, buried his head and continued to hurry, and after a while, the hoofs in the north sounded like thunder, and hundreds of cavalry of the Ming army galloped to the south, the target was also those horsemen, who were passing from Zijin Liang and the others a hundred steps away.

Zijin Liang looked at the direction of those cavalry, and suddenly stopped and said to the two of them: "There are fewer people in front, the three of them walk together to attract attention, let's run separately, don't follow the others to the south, the people go north and go into the mountain separately, the danger before entering the mountain, it is nothing to worry about entering the mountain, you two go to Qinghua Town and wait for our Laozi, let's make a comeback." ”

The two righteous sons hurriedly stopped, their faces were covered with blood and sweat, and after being stained with dust, they looked like mud monkeys, and they both froze for a moment, apparently a little surprised that Zijin Liang suddenly wanted to flee separately. In fact, Zijin Liang also didn't trust them, he would rather take risks alone, as long as he entered the mountain, he was sure to escape to Qinghua Town, if he could find any of the 36 battalions, he could save his life, and then collect those scattered men and horses.

Some of the displaced people who were still fleeing for their lives bypassed the three of them and fled to the southwest in a scattered manner, Zijin Liang said: "Hurry up, no matter how few people there are, you can't run away, Xiao Jiu, you go to the west, Xiao Seventeen, you go to ......."

The righteous son named Xiao Jiu suddenly pointed behind Zijin Liang and shouted loudly: "Father-in-law, get out of the way!" ”

The two of them pulled out the short knife at the same time, Zijin Lianggen did not look back, the short knife pierced towards Xiao Jiu's chest, the blood flashed, the two were stabbed at the same time, Zijin Liang flashed the chest position, but his left upper arm was pierced, his body was short, and he swung the short knife to fight with Xiao Jiu in a muffled voice. The surrounding homeless people scattered for a distance.

Xiao Jiu heard that his name was small, but he was actually a short and strong fierce man, he had already planned it, but he didn't expect Zijin Liang to react so quickly, his left chest was pulled open, and the flesh was not deep. He roared loudly, fiercely pounced and fought with Zijin Liang, the short knives of the two saw blood one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they changed from father-in-law and son to enemies of life and death.

The two quickly rolled into a ball, grabbing each other's knife-wielding hands with their empty hands and rolling around on the ground, and the surrounding homeless people either ignored the passing by, or watched the excitement numbly. The little seventeen seemed to be stunned, and he looked at the two "relatives" in front of him in a daze.

The strong Zijin Liang finally gained the upper hand, he pressed Xiao Jiu under him with difficulty, and Xiao Jiu used his left arm to clamp his right hand holding the knife, and pressed Zijin Liang's right hand under him, Zijin Liang didn't even pull it out a few times, and the two fell into a stalemate.

Xiao Jiu is at a disadvantage, as long as Zijin Liang draws out his right hand, he will definitely die, Xiao Jiu said to Xiao Seventeen next to him anxiously: "Seventeen, hurry up and kill Wang Ziyong, let's two people five hundred taels, and give you the sum of Qianzong......"

Zijin Liang spoke quickly, "Don't listen to him, Little Seventeen, your father-in-law will take you to Qinghua Town, let's gather people and live happily." ”

Xiao Jiu desperately clamped Zijin Liang's right hand, and roared with a red face, "You didn't help him just now, and he won't let you go back." This group of officials and soldiers is so fierce, even if the king doesn't kill you, you will have to die at the hands of this group of officers and soldiers sooner or later......"

Zijin Liang hit Xiao Jiu's face door headlong, so that Xiao Jiu's howl stopped abruptly, he followed Xiao Jiu and also hit his head, Wang Ziyong dodged with agility, and then said to Xiao Seventeen: "Don't believe him, the officials and soldiers will not let go of your ......"

There was a bang, Zijin Liang didn't finish speaking, his head turned sharply, and he fell to the side, Xiao Seventeen walked over slowly with a stick, and said to the unconscious Zijin Liang: "With you as a stepping stone, why don't the officers and soldiers let go of the forehead, and the forehead is not a fool." ”

After he finished speaking, he took out a short knife and waved it high at the officers and soldiers who were passing by a hundred paces away.
