Chapter 304: The sound of killing is shocking
Almost the next moment when the city gate was broken, Zhao Dahu, the thief leader who had just fallen asleep in the county yamen, was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.
"General, General" the personal soldiers outside the door shouted anxiously, knocking the wooden door loudly.
"What's the matter? This time disturbs me to sleep? Tell me quickly, if there is nothing important, I will chop your head." Zhao Dahu got up from the bed in a daze and said sternly.
On this extremely exquisite carved bed, there were two white women lying, but they were concubines snatched by Zhao Dahu from a wealthy family in the county.
Zhao Dahu was originally a robber leader in Sanqin Prefecture, but was later recovered by Li Yingxiang. This man was brave and fierce, and was deeply trusted by Li Yingxiang. A few months ago, Li Yingxiang led his troops to attack Shangqing County but failed. A group of bandits ran hundreds of miles in succession and entered Xiajiang Prefecture, and then captured several county towns, which was considered to have a preliminary foothold.
Because Zhao Dahu was extremely brave during the attack, he was appointed as the general by Li Yingxiang and ordered him to station in Qutang County, Xiajiang Prefecture to resist the attacks of officers and soldiers. Zhao Dahu was extremely greedy and lustful. After coming to Qutang County, he gathered the wealthy families in the county that had not yet escaped, and asked for gold and silver beauties. If he dared not give it, he would immediately serve him.
These two beauties are two concubines of the Guo family, a wealthy man in the city. Last night was New Year's Eve, Zhao Dahu gathered all his subordinates and generals together, got drunk, and then asked the two women to sleep. They just fell asleep in the middle of the night, so after being woken up, they were extremely angry.
"General, there are enemy soldiers who have sneak attacked and have already broken through the county town and are coming towards the county government." The personal soldier shouted outside the door.
"What?" Zhao Dahu jumped off the bed with a trembling heart and grabbed the wide-backed big knife placed at the head of the bed. This was a habit he developed when he was a robber. He never left his big knife regardless of sleep or eating.
At this time, you could clearly hear the sound of fighting in the distance, vaguely mixed with the shouts of "Don't let the thief go".
"Hmph, it's not that easy to catch me." Zhao Dahu glanced at the two women on the bed. At this moment, the two beautiful women were also awakened, hugged each other, trembling.
The county town was broken and there was no danger of staying here. It was impossible to escape first. It was inconvenient to take two women in the chaos army. Zhao Dahu's eyes turned cold, and blood flashed through the long sword. Then the two women let out a shrill scream, and the heads rolled onto the brocade quilt. Even though they were already extinguished, they still had an incredible look.
"I can't take it away, don't want it." After killing two concubines, Zhao Dahu quickly put on his clothes, pushed the door out, and the personal soldiers holding the door outside said: "Speed my order quickly, the personal guards gather, fight out, and fight out a way."
"Yes," After receiving the order, the personal soldier did not dare to look at Zhao Dahu's eyes and hurriedly retreated. Soon, forty or fifty people gathered in panic in the yard. Most of them were in a messy clothes and had not even put on their armor, which was obviously shocked in a hurry.
"Raising troops for a thousand days is used for a moment. I usually treat you very well. Now in a time of danger, if anyone dares to get diarrhea, I will definitely forgive you. Kill me now and kill you out of the city." To this end, Zhao Dahu still has not gotten rid of his thinking when he is a robber. When he encounters danger, the first thought is to escape first.
These dozens of soldiers are the biggest capital of his subordinates. They usually serve wine and meat, so that they can show their skills at critical moments.
"It was originally driven by the general," dozens of soldiers shouted in unison. With their voices, a strong and fierce intention rushed up above the county government.
"Let's go, kill." Zhao Dahu rolled over and ran towards the distance, roaring and running. behind him, dozens of soldiers followed closely.
Tonight, the soldiers under Lianghou attacked the city, so that the thieves were relaxed in their minds while New Year's Eve. In order to prevent the thieves from escaping, the four gates of the city were launched at the same time.
Zhu Yuanhao took the lead in breaking the city gate, which was considered to be the first to be successful. Hearing the shouts of killing in the city, the other three thieves guarding the city gates knew that the city gate had been broken, so he was furious and resisted for a few moments before turning around and running away.
In just a quarter of an hour, all four city gates fell into the hands of officers and soldiers.
Zhao Dahu left the county government office and looked at him. He felt that the voice of Ximen was the weakest. He made a quick decision and led his soldiers toward Ximen.
Shortly after they left, Zhu Yuanhao had already led his brothers to the gate of the county government. The fire in the county government rushed into the sky, and many people were like headless flies, shouting and running around.
In addition, some scattered soldiers gathered there to resist. Zhu Yuanhao stepped forward and killed several bandits who stopped him one after another. He then put a bloody big knife on the neck of the last bandit and asked: "Where is the thief Zhao Dahu, where is it? Tell me quickly."
"Little man, villain doesn't know," the bandit replied tremblingly.
"It's useless" Zhu Yuanhao fell down and had already cut the other party's head.
At this time, some subordinates rushed over and said anxiously: "Brother Zhu, caught the housekeeper in the mansion and said that Zhao Dahu had run away and ran to the west."
"It's not that easy to run away. Wu Lianshan is leading the troops to the west. This person is weak and I'm afraid he can't stop Zhao Dahu. We will chase him." Zhu Yuanhao paused and said again: "Leave a group of brothers and see what remains left in this county yamen."
"Yes," the subordinate immediately understood the meaning of his words.
After the bandits captured Qutang County, they robbed many gold and silver. Now they left in a hurry, and they must have left a lot of them. Taking advantage of the chaos to plunder them, they can be regarded as giving benefits to their brothers.
When Zhao Dahu and his party arrived at the Xicheng Gate, they saw that the city gate had been broken, and many defeated soldiers cried and retreated.
"No retreat, kill me." Zhao Dahu roared angrily and led his soldiers forward.
A bandit soldier was about to retreat to the side, but saw a sword flashing and flesh flying. The soldiers behind him were doing well. As long as the bandits dared to retreat, they would immediately wave their swords to kill them.
With the addition of the new force and no retreat, these bandits were ruthless and howled and rushed back.
At this time, Wu Lianshan, who was standing at the gate of the city commanding his soldiers, also noticed the situation opposite and hurriedly sent a team of personal soldiers to overtake the formation.
Soon, a personal soldier returned to the report: "General Wu Wei is the thief Zhao Dahu, Zhao Dahu has fled to us."
"Okay, let me kill you, pass my order, kill Zhao Dahu, and give you fifty taels of silver." Wu Lianshan was overjoyed when he heard the thief's head running to his own direction. Originally, his subordinates were at the latest to attack the city, and thought they would not get any credit, but he did not expect the big fish to come to him automatically.
"Yes," the personal soldiers responded, turned back, and shouted at the top of their voices: "General Wu Wei has an order to kill Zhao Dahu and give him fifty taels of silver."
Then, many soldiers shouted: "Kill Zhao Dahu and reward 50 taels of silver."
With the excitement of silver rewards, the morale of the soldiers near the Xicheng Gate increased significantly for a while.
"If you want to kill me, then come on, I'm Zhao Dahu." Zhao Dahu roared in his mouth, waved his broad-backed sword one by one, killing several soldiers who were trying to get closer one by one. Especially when he killed the last close-range sergeant, he even held the other party's head high.
Seeing that he was so fierce, the zealous brains of the soldiers woke up and did not dare to move forward any more.
The personal soldiers beside Zhao Dahu seized the opportunity and rushed forward to kill, quickly breaking out.
The "general's mighty power" was stimulated by blood. The bandits shouted endlessly and rushed towards the sergeant who was blocking them.
The officers and soldiers who had the advantage actually began to retreat instinctively and separate.
Found that his army could not stop the killing god, Wu Lianshan screamed in shock, "Phot me with a bow and arrow."
At this time, many soldiers reacted, drawing their bows and shooting towards the fire.
Immediately, many bandit soldiers were caught in arrows and fell down with shrill screams.
However, the remaining bandits did not retreat, but still howled and pressed up, like a sharp knife, piercing the thick military formation. Zhao Dahu was the tip of the sharp knife. But wherever he passed, the officers and soldiers did not dare to respond to the battle, and were captured by murderous aura and panicked and avoided aside.
"Stop it, stop them and kill Zhao Dahu, reward 100 taels of silver, and immediately fulfill it afterwards." Wu Lianshan's mood has changed from surprise to fear. He did not expect that this big fish was too fierce and he could not hold it at all.
Before attacking Qutang County tonight, Du Shuai had issued an order to surround the four city gates and not allow half of the thief to escape. If the thief leader Zhao Dahu left from him, he might lose his mind afterwards.
Wu Lianshan doesn't care about his money, his family and life.
The momentum is invisible and intangible, but it does exist. Once it is taken away, it will be difficult to find it again. Although there is a lot of silver rewards, it cannot stop the defeat of the officers and soldiers.
If there are monks nearby at this moment, it can be clearly seen that the two groups of air columns on the battlefield are rolling. Originally, the luck above the officers and soldiers are invincible, and the light is bright, like a big flag, surging forward.
However, the fortune of the bandits was shaking, as if they were about to collapse in the next moment. However, when Zhao Dahu joined, a faint roar of beasts came out of the air column, and the declining air column was quickly replenished, and instead began to suppress the officers and soldiers.
Looking at the bandits who shouted and slashed with Zhao Dahu, they seemed to have lost their minds and only knew that they were waving their swords desperately, trying to break out a bloody way to escape.
The entire Ximen became a Shura Field, with scarlet blood flowing all over the ground, broken arms and legs everywhere, and cries and screams were heard endlessly. Zhao Dahu's troops were getting smaller and smaller, and in the end there were less than a hundred people, but he had already broken out of the city gate and rushed to the night light more than ten feet away.
On the other hand, there were two or three hundred soldiers beside Wu Lianshan, but he did not dare to issue a pursuit order at all.
When Zhu Yuanhao led his troops to chase him here, the chaos at the city gate still did not stop. When he saw Wu Lianshan standing above the city gate, he immediately shouted loudly: "General Wu Wei, the last general heard that the thief leader Zhao Dahu had fled to the west gate, but had he been captured?"
"Run, Zhao Dahu just ran away. I will order you to take people to chase him immediately and be sure to stop him." Seeing Zhu Yuanhao leading his troops, Wu Lianshan suddenly moved in his heart and issued an order directly.
He had a smart plan. Zhao Dahu had been running away for a while. Zhu Yuanhao went out of the city to chase him, but he was almost unable to catch up. Even if he caught up, the dozens of people under Zhu Yuanhao could not stop the killing god. No matter what, as long as Zhu Yuanhao received the order, the responsibility for Zhao Dahu's escape could be pushed to the other party.
Zhu Yuanhao felt very despised when he heard that Zhao Dahu broke through and stopped and fled. Wu Lianshan was really a waste, and so many soldiers around him didn't even leave a thief.
However, he didn't think much about Wu Lianshan's orders, but just clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will obey the order."
Immediately, Zhu Yuanhao led his soldiers to leave hurriedly.
Tonight, the sky was filled with stars, and the target of nearly 100 people was not difficult to track. Soon, Zhu Yuanhao and his group heard the sound of running in front of them.
"Chasing, the thief Zhao Dahu is ahead, don't let him run away."
