Chapter 442 Keeping him is a waste of grain

In the west of Mi County, Su Laohu led more than a hundred Mongolian cavalry to chase Li Jiyu and other thieves from the tail, and Mo Zhigen also chased Ji Zhiying and other horse thieves running out of the city from the left.

Sometimes they rushed forward and shot wildly, sometimes they avoided the distant pockets, and still tried their best to avoid hand-to-hand combat with the thieves, but they kept staring at the fleeing horse thieves.

After Li Jiyu and Ji Zhiying's two teams of horse thieves joined together, they fled all the way west and turned north again, but they couldn't get rid of the Ming army cavalry who were chasing after them. Flying thieves and hungry people.

In this way, he was chased all the way and fled all the way, but he had nothing to do with those howling cavalry of the Ming army.

Li Jiyukong had all the abilities, but he was helpless. He had to personally lead the armored horse thieves to protect the periphery, struggling to resist the incoming arrows, and trying his best to reduce the casualties on his side.

Ji Zhiying came to Li Jiyu's side and said loudly: "Brother, this is not acceptable. If we continue running, we will all be shot to death by these ball officers!"

Li Jiyu rode his horse and looked around, feeling very helpless, he said: "I don't care about that anymore, let's go north to Tashan, if I don't believe it, I won't be able to get rid of this dog skin plaster!"

"Brother, are there any more women and food in our camp?" Ji Zhiying looked resigned.

Li Jiyu turned his head and glanced at the cavalry of the officers and soldiers in the distance, and said bitterly: "Fuck you, you can save your life, women are not so good!"

"Hurry up, everyone who wants to survive, let me run faster..."

Li Jiyu yelled loudly, and said again: "Run to the north and enter Tashan, so you won't be afraid of the officers and soldiers!"

"Damn, the county magistrate actually abandoned the city and fled, what a coward!" Wang Tieren rode his horse to Zhang Cheng's side, got off his horse and said loudly.

Zhang Cheng turned around and glanced at him, and asked, "How is the situation in the city?"

"The county magistrate has escaped, and now the thieves in the city are almost wiped out. Now the general Qingqi is cooperating with Hu Dayou's soldiers to wipe out the remaining thieves. The county government and treasuries have been sent to guard." Wang Tieren reported.

Zhang Cheng thought for a while, then said: "Guangda, you lead the heavy cavalry and Hu Dayou's army to stay in Mi County, and take the money from the thief camp and the money from the official treasury, and the grain will be distributed to the people in the city. I can use this to survive this winter."

Zhang Guangda had some resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Zhang Cheng, he just replied in a deep voice: "The last general takes orders."

"what?"

Zhang Cheng turned around and looked at Zhang Guangda, smiling all over his face, and said, "It's not fun to fight!"

It turned out that Zhang Guangda originally thought that he would be a strong horseman, but he never thought that he would scare Li Jiyu away as soon as he appeared on the stage. Only some thieves who were too late to escape were rushed and hacked by him, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.

In this battle, he felt that he didn't enjoy himself enough, and felt a little resentful in his heart.

Zhang Guangda's big face was originally flushed red, but now it was a little dark red under the cold wind, and he said with a little hatred: "Damn, I didn't fight, I knew how to run, slippery like a loach Like."

"Look at your pig's kidney face, it looks like someone owes you [-] hangs."

Zhang Cheng scolded Zhang Guangda with a smile, and said: "Heavy cavalry are not good at chasing, and the charge just now has exhausted horsepower. You stay in Mi County for the time being and take charge of the overall situation on behalf of the commander. Wait for the military order."

Without waiting for Zhang Guangda to speak, he got up and gave the order: "Wang Tieren, hurry up and gather the Qingqi. After a quarter of an hour, follow me to attack."

Wang Tieren responded loudly and left.

Lin Fangping galloped over there, and when he got close to Zhang Cheng, he threw a man off his horse and scolded angrily, "This fellow can run, but luckily he was stopped by Brother Dayou, who ruined the two brothers." Take him."

Zhang Cheng looked around and saw a strong man lying on the ground, the armor on his body was in disarray, red liquid gushed out from many places, and he kept rolling on the ground as if he wanted to get up look.

Lin Fangping also turned over and got off the horse, and when he went up, he kicked him in the waist and eye, and you screamed in pain. Lin Fangping walked up to Zhang Cheng and said, "Marshal, I have interrogated some old thieves and hungry people." , this fellow is one of the leaders of the Dengfeng bandits, named Yu Dazhong, quite vicious and cruel."

"That still leaves him wasting grain."

Zhang Cheng said indifferently, then turned his head and said, "Guangda, leave it to you. Later, in front of all the thieves, hungry people, and common people, chop it up together with those old bandits."

Zhang Guangda seemed to want to say something, Zhang Cheng also saw that he was hesitant to speak, and said with a smile: "Guangda, although these thieves are fierce and good at fighting, they have no loyalty in their hearts, they only want to enjoy themselves,

And when our army goes out to battle, when we win, he will loot and spoil our army, and when we lose, he will take the lead in fleeing, involving thousands of troops. Such rubbish, what's the use of keeping it! "

Zhang Guangda also nodded when he heard the words, and stopped talking.

At this moment, Zhang Chengfang rode his horse and rushed over, and he yelled wildly on the horseback: "Father, Li Jiyu fled into the mountains to the north. Su Huhu and Mo Zhigen are watching those thieves, please father!" Shuai went to encircle and annihilate them."

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Come down and take a breath, don't worry, with Su Huhu and the others watching, he can't get away from Li Jiyu!"

…………

Ten miles northwest of Mi County is Dazhou Mountain. Because there is an eight-level hexagonal attic-style ancient pagoda on the mountain, which is more than five feet high, vigorous and majestic.

According to the "Song History" records: Song Renzong's Empress Cao is the granddaughter of Wu Hui Wang Cao Bin, a privy envoy, and entered the imperial palace in the second year of Mingdao. In September of the first year of Jingyou, she was named empress. The distance is far, it is inconvenient to come and go, living in the deep palace for a long time, homesick and relatives, lonely and claustrophobic.

In order to solve the empress' concerns, Song Renzong ordered skilled craftsmen in the world to build the pagoda on the top of Dazhou Mountain with sheep-carrying bricks in the empress's hometown. Chi Pagoda", because it was built specially for Empress Cao, it is also called Empress Cao Pagoda, and the original Dazhou Mountain was changed to Ta Mountain.

Under the thousand-foot pagoda is an ancient village of nearly [-] square meters. The walls of the village are made of bluestone.
About two hundred steps away from the ancient village, Zhang Cheng stood there looking at the ancient village.

Su Huhu said angrily from the side: "It's really slippery, this thief knows how to drill into the mountains."

Li Jiyu was also cunning. After running for a while, he found that Su Huhu and Mo Zhigen were unwilling to fight him close, so he organized horse thieves to cover the step thieves, and turned around to block them every time they ran a distance.

Even so, casualties were unavoidable, but it was better than running away all the time and selling his back to the enemy completely. He fled to Mount Tashan while beating like this, and hid in this ancient village for a while.

Zhang Cheng didn't take it seriously. He took out a box of Yunzhou brand cigarettes, put one in his mouth, and threw the box to Su Huhu. Su Huhu smiled and handed the box to Lin Fangping, but he took out a cigarette from his arms. A box of Beizhaguan brand cigarettes, and said with a smile: "I enjoy smoking this!"
