   Chapter 123 Pursuit

   Zhao Hanzhang brought all the cavalry, but only eight hundred of the infantry, leaving the rest to guard Wubao.

  The cavalry will go first, and Wubao is not very far from the county seat, and it can be reached in a quarter of an hour on a fast horse.

   Not long after they got out of the fort, they encountered the people who had escaped from the city. When they saw them from a distance, the people ran away and ran directly into the fields.

  Some people didn't dare to turn around to pick up their luggage when they fell. They rolled and climbed into the fields when they fell, trying to stay away from them as far as possible.

   Zhao Hanzhang just glanced at Zhao Ju and said, "I ordered to go down. After entering the city, you can only save people and not disturb the people!"

   Zhao Ju responded, picking out two loud-sounding scouts and asking them to pass on the order.

   A group of people quickly arrived at the gate of Xiping County. The gate of the county was in a mess, and there were fallen corpses everywhere. Except for the occasional people who ran out of the city, no one was guarding.

   Zhao Hanzhang rode a horse and led people into the doorway, just as a man ran out with a disheveled woman and a child, and bumped into them, his legs fell to the ground.

   Didn't see Zhao Hanzhang who was on the horse clearly, so he dragged his wife and children behind him. Zhao Hanzhang restrained the horse and asked, "We belong to Zhao's Wubao, where are the rebels in the city now?"

The pale-faced man only regained his senses when he heard Zhao Shiwubao. He raised his head and saw that Zhao Hanzhang was a girl. He immediately burst into tears, pulled his wife and children into a kowtow, pointed his finger at the city, and said in a trembling voice: "Li. ,in……"

   Zhao Hanzhang looked at the empty street. From time to time, there was a sharp cry from time to time, so he called in a scout, "When you enter the city to report, you will say that the Zhao reinforcements are here."

"Yes."

  The scout quickly left, shouting loudly: "The Zhao reinforcements have arrived—"

   "The Zhao's reinforcements have arrived—"

   Zhao Hanzhang ordered, "One group is a group, everyone goes in the direction of the county government, and all the chaotic troops they see will be wiped out, and the main thing is to protect the people!"

  The crowd responded loudly, "Order!"

   Zhao Hanzhang turned his head and said to Zhao Ju, "You take something with you."

   "Sanniang, you..."

   "I can lead a team myself."

   Zhao Ju glanced at Fu Tinghan and responded, the group rushed forward, saw the fork in the road and turned in, listening to the movement and going in to save people.

   Zhao Hanzhang soon separated from Zhao Ju.

   A scout made a loud announcement first, and the people in the city who were hiding in their houses heard the arrival of Zhao's reinforcements, and hoped in their hearts, and they hid more tightly.

   And the people who had been invaded by the rebel army heard the voice of the scout, they struggled hard and shouted for help.

When the    tribe heard the cry for help, they went to the rescue, and the county town, which had only been crying sharply, broke out again.

   Xiping County, which was like a dead city, came back to life.

A dozen or so chaotic troops who had just robbed the gold and silver heard the shouts of the scouts on the street, and immediately ran out with their packages in their hands. As soon as they turned their heads, they saw Zhao Hanzhang and his party who were coming here on horseback. They didn't respond yet. An arrow flew out and went straight into the chest of the current person.

   His package was scattered on the ground, his eyes widened, and he fell down unwillingly.

The gold and silver that had been searched got out of the bag. When his companions saw it, they subconsciously squatted down to pick it up. After a short while, the cavalry arrived. Zhao Hanzhang drew out his sword and killed two of them with two swords. kill.

   The group did not stop, nor did they pick up the gold and silver jewelry on the ground, they just left and went to the next place.

   Qiuwu ran with the infantry, and when he entered the city, he heard the chaos in the city, remembered the instructions of the girl before departure, and immediately said: "Go and take the county government office!"

"Yes."

  The city was full of looting and arsonist troops. Zhao Hanzhang and the others went all the way to the county government to kill, and they killed halfway. When the rebel army got news, they also gathered on the main street. When the infantry arrived, Zhao Hanzhang and the others were blocking the way.

   Seeing the sudden emergence of so many reinforcements, the chaotic army was startled and hurriedly retreated.

   In the county town they breached last night, although the magistrate was dead, the big households in the city closed their doors and resisted each other, so they were busy killing and looting all night.

At this moment, they robbed a lot of things, and it was the time when their minds were the most relaxed. Zhao Hanzhang and the others came to kill them. Their hearts were dissipated, and when they were sleepy again, they were terrified by killing more than a hundred cavalry. With so many reinforcements suddenly appearing, they no longer had the heart to resist, so they turned around and ran.

   Zhao Hanzhang and the others pushed all the way to the county office, and soon reoccupied the county office.

   Zhao Ju rummaged inside and outside the county government office, they retreated very cleanly, not a single chaotic army was left, but Qiu Wu found a dying servant from the pile of corpses.

  Fu Tinghan stepped forward to check the wound on his body, and finally shook his head at Zhao Hanzhang.

   The servant opened his eyes slightly, saw Zhao Hanzhang, his eyes widened slightly, grabbed the corner of Zhao Hanzhang's clothes, and said in a barely audible voice: "Girl, girl..."

  Fu Tinghan approached and asked, "What did you say?"

   The servant stared at Zhao Hanzhang closely and whispered: "Girl..."

   Zhao Hanzhang heard it, squatted in front of him and asked, "Is it your girl? Where is she?"

   "The chaotic army...caught, took away...please, save the girl..." Before the servant could finish speaking, the hand that was holding Zhao Hanzhang's clothes loosened and his eyes closed slightly.

  Fu Tinghan had gotten very close, but still only vaguely heard the word "girl", he looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

"They kidnapped the daughter of the county magistrate," Zhao Hanzhang suddenly remembered something, got up and said, "Call everyone, Uncle Qianli, you and a group of people are left to clean up the chaos in the county town, and the rest wait with me. Go after the retreating rebel army."

   Zhao Ju said, "Sanniang, don't chase after poor thieves."

   "They kidnapped a lot of people, and we have to rescue them." Otherwise, those women wouldn't live long in their hands.

   Zhao Ju can only follow orders.

   Zhao Hanzhang led people to chase out Xiping County, Ji Ping dismounted and looked at the traces and said, "Sanniang, they are going to Nan'an County."

  Fu Tinghan said: "This is the official road. I remember that there is a trail that is closer. Maybe we can intercept it from the front."

"It's so boring," Zhao Hanzhang said, "We'll be divided into two groups, Qiu Wu, you take Fu Dalang-jun and three teams of men and take a short cut to block in front of them, I'll lead the cavalry to chase from behind, and we'll make him dumplings. "

   "They definitely can't run fast with people and belongings. Since they have already decided to rob people, they should take back what they stole."

"Yes!"

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded to Fu Tinghan, "You guide them and wait for us at the back."

   "Okay, then don't chase too hard."

   "I know, I drove them over, and I won't do it until I see you."

   said so, but before he saw the figure, Zhao Hanzhang speeded up to catch up. They all rode on horses, and the speed was naturally fast. After chasing them for less than a quarter of an hour, they saw the chaotic army with a lot of property and women fleeing for their lives.

   Zhao Hanzhang started to slow down his speed and followed behind them unhurriedly, so as to let them see, and occasionally speed up to try to catch up, forcing them to break up even more but did not catch up.
