Wu Mian hurriedly retreated behind the tree.

The rain of arrows falling on the trunks of the trees was full of muffled "poofs".

"Stop firing arrows." Condorf said.

The rain of arrows stopped.

"Kill." Condor drew his knife and rushed in.

The subordinates rushed over and engaged the rebels in hand-to-hand combat in the woods.

Wu Mian and his subordinates were weak in their hands and feet, and they couldn't run if they couldn't fight.

Kangduo's people became more and more courageous, turning the grievances and anger of half a year into combat effectiveness.

Screams rang out, and the rebels fell a lot.

Wu Mian saw that he couldn't resist it, so he left his dead and wounded companions and hurriedly fled into the depths of the forest.

Condorm knew that he was not as familiar with this place as the enemy, and if he pursued deep in the mountains and forests, he would be easily ambushed.

He said aloud: "Don't chase anymore, clean up the battlefield." ”

He stood at the edge of the woods and swept around with a cold gaze.

The hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably, whether the muscles were still in a state of excitement, or the long-pent-up anxiety was finally released at this moment.

This last chance, he seized!!

The smell of blood and the dampness of the pine forest irritated the nasal passages.

It's the smell of killing.

He used to be afraid of the smell, but now he finds it more exciting than any food, the smell of incense powder.

This is the smell that a real man and a real military general should admire.

No wonder my father spent his whole life on the battlefield, unwilling to stay in the gentle village at home for a long time, and finally died on the battlefield.

Someone asked Condor, "My lord, what should I do with the captives?" ”

The captives shouted, "We surrender." ”

"We are all ordinary people, and we were all forced to rebel by Wu Mian."

Kang Duo looked at them coldly: "From last year to now, the imperial court and this official have surrendered several times. If you had repentance, you would have surrendered. ”

The captives screamed in horror: "The military law of the Ming Dynasty, do not kill and surrender." Don't kill! ”

Condorf said to the soldiers, "The generals will obey orders. ”

The soldiers replied in unison: "Yes." ”

Condor: "We have no captives today. ”

Lock up these people and waste food, and if you put them away, you will turn back at any time.

Kill the cleanest.

The soldiers shouted, "Yes." ”

The captives struggled to crawl away, but were stabbed through the chest one by one and dealt with.

Screams rang out, blood splattered onto the trunk of the tree, and the smell of blood intensified.

The soldier who went to buy salt was not even dead, gasping for breath and vomiting blood, glaring at Condor.

Condorf looked down at him: "I know you refuse to breathe because you don't understand why you didn't see that the tea merchant and the traveling merchant who took you to buy salt were pretended to be my people." Because, one of them is a military Chinese officer, and the other is a firehead soldier, and naturally there is no callus on their hands that have been sharpened by the sword. ”

The soldier's eyes widened and his lips moved, but he couldn't speak.

Condora nodded: "Yes, yes." You must also wonder why we can catch up with us so far away. ”

He bent down and grabbed a handful of salt from the ground, let it fall from his fingertips on the soldier, and smiled: "It's not the problem of this salt, but the guard who searched your body smeared water soaked in special spices on his hands, and he rubbed the spices on your clothes and pants." We don't follow so closely because we are afraid that you will find out and waste all our efforts. When you're far away, let the hounds follow the scent and lead us after you. You're so clever that you made a special trip through the stream. However, the smell is too strong for the hound, and your disguise will not help. We specially picked this dry sunny day, and sure enough, the effect was very good. The Hound chased you all the way without hesitation. ”

The pro-soldier suddenly stopped moving, and his eyes were already wide and dead.

Condorus sighed: "You are already very smart, layer upon layer of fortification, but it's a pity that that person is much smarter than you." You can think of it, he has thought of it a long time ago. What you can't think of, he can think of. There's no chance you'll win. ”

After Wu Mian's defeat, he retreated to the jungle around Tianfu Cave to rest and continue to fight against the imperial army.

Kang Duo barely won, and immediately asked someone to send a letter to Lao Zhu to report the victory: "Report to the emperor, our army has won a great victory, and the rebel leader Wu Mian has led a small number of remnants to flee, and the general trend has been decided." The people have been suffering from the rebels for a long time, and the emperor is merciful. The minister implored him to stop the war and let the people recuperate. ”

In fact, what he meant by this was that the consumption of the counterinsurgency army was too large, and the remaining rebels could already be dealt with by the local defenders.

Lao Zhu had long felt that this counterinsurgency war had dragged on for too long, and it was really a waste of money, so he immediately issued an order to praise Kang Duo and told him to immediately lead the troops back to the court.

------

In the eleventh year of Hongwu, spring went to autumn, and the days flew by.

That day, Zhu Fan and Deng Zhiqiu went to the woods outside the city to shoot rabbits.

The end of summer and the beginning of autumn are the most comfortable seasons in Qindi, when the heat is exhausted and the cool breeze is blowing.

The rabbit is big, fat, and runs all over the ground.

Zhu Fan shot seven or eight in a row.

Deng Zhiqiu also shot two, he was so happy that he leaned on Zhu Fan's arms: "Ah, it's so comfortable to have a day when no one cares." ”

Zhu Fan smiled: "I said it, when we get here, we are the king." ”

In the distance, the head of a fawn appeared, its body submerged in the dead grass that was more than half a man tall.

Zhu Fan drew his bow towards the fawn.

Deng Zhiqiu whispered to Zhu Zhang: "Help me catch a living one and raise it in the palace." ”

"Easy." Zhu Fan smiled and lowered the arrow. The opponent waved his hand to signal the encirclement of the fawn.

In the distance, there was a sound of deer chirping, and it was a doe calling the fawn back.

The fawn bounced away.

Zhu Fan became excited: "It seems that there is a herd of deer, chase after it." ”

The leader of the guards hurriedly said: "Your Highness, further north is the territory of the Mongols, and it is all flat and easy to pursue." ”

Zhu Fan scolded: "Look at you cowards. I am dignified, hunting on my own territory, and I am afraid of the Mongols. This king is still going to go today. ”

He grabbed the horse's belly and ran out.

Deng Zhiqiu also laughed and ran out.

The fawn seemed to be deliberately teasing them, bouncing in front of them, stopping and going.

The more Zhu Fan chased, the more unwilling he became, and he became farther and farther away from the city wall.

Deng Zhiqiu was scared and said, "If you don't forget it, go back." ”

Zhu Fan said: "Don't be afraid, it's all here." ”

He caught the horse's belly between his legs, then loosened the reins and stood on his horse, and took aim at the fawn.

But the fawn suddenly squatted in the grass and disappeared.

Zhu Fan hurriedly put down his bow, pulled the reins, and the horse stopped.

It's quiet around, where there are herds of deer.

The leader of the guards said, "Not good, there is an ambush. ”

Zhu Fan and Deng Zhiqiu hurriedly turned their horses' heads and were about to leave.

A circle of soldiers suddenly rose from the grass taller than a man, surrounded them, and drew their bows at them.

Zhu Zhang's guards were busy protecting the two of them in the middle.

Zhu Fan pulled out his sword: "Don't be afraid, everyone will go out with this king all the way." ”

"I advise King Qin not to move around." One person said coldly and slowly paced out from behind the stone next to him on a horse, "You can run, you delicate side princess can't run." ”
