A few days later, like a jackal hiding in the grass, when the grass withered, Zeng Dahu's position was gradually exposed...

Zeng Dahu did not dare to stay in one place for a long time. After changing the hiding place again, the horse thieves were inevitably a little tired. After eating the preserved meat, except for some sentries in charge of security, most of the people were looking for

Everyone went to sleep in a place that drove them crazy.

At night, the surrounding meadows are very quiet.

The summer night wind is not very cold, and occasionally it brings the snorting of war horses, and some small talk in sleep, teeth grinding, etc., mixed with the unbridled chirping of some unknown insects in the grass.

The stars are shining brightly in the sky.

In the middle of the night, just as the bonfire was gradually extinguishing, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves like rolling thunder sounded from a distance, frightening the horse thieves who were on guard in the distance to scream in panic, and then the shrill alarm cry rang out.

night sky.

The horse thieves' camp suddenly erupted into chaos.

Zeng Dahu was the first to stand up from his leather mattress and picked up the sword that was beside him. He didn't even have time to put on his robes, so he screamed for his men to assemble to prepare for the opponent's surprise attack.

Zeng Dahu looked in the direction of the sound. The first thing he saw was a large red dot, which looked particularly eye-catching in the dark night. This red dot moved very fast and did not last long.

It has turned into a loose large piece of jumping fire, like a huge firebird, spreading its wings and rushing towards here. The sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer is like a knock on the ground.

The heart of the horse thief was so struck that all the horse thieves, including Zeng Dahu, turned pale.

"Go! Hurry! Hurry!!" Zeng Dahu got on his horse and pointed in the opposite direction of the fire, "Go over there! Hurry! Go quickly!"

This is obviously a sign of bad intentions. You don't even need to look too much to guess that the cavalry has followed them here. Although Zeng Dahu also has some doubts in his heart, now is obviously not the time to stand around and think about problems. It is important to escape!

Who the hell dares to confront a hussar?

Isn't that a fool plus an idiot?

Zeng Dahu gave the order, and all the horse thieves had the same idea. They had absolutely no thoughts of personal heroism. They all followed Zeng Dahu and fled in the opposite direction of the red light jumping...

Just then, something strange happened.

The hussars and horses on the other side of the red light seemed to slow down, and then after a moment, the red light disappeared, and the whole land fell into darkness again. The sound of the horses' hooves was heard and was extremely noisy, but no one knew that the hussars were

Are the people and horses chasing after them...

"Slow down! Take it all in!"

The more Zeng Dahu fled, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't help shouting to ask the surrounding horse thieves to slow down. However, for these horse thieves, panic is so easy to give up, even if Zeng Dahu is heartbroken.

He yelled, and unknowingly, after running for less than half an hour, he finally let go of his fear and slowly collected his horse.

In the middle of the night, they were frightened and started running wildly. They were exhausted both in terms of physical strength and endurance. The horse thieves were huffing and puffing on the horses, and the horses were snorting and shaking their tails.

"..." Zeng Dahu turned his head left and right, staring in the direction where the red light disappeared, but he saw nothing.

Didn't catch up?

Is this considered...an escape?

"That's that?" Zeng Dahu gasped and raised his head, preparing to identify his current position from the position of the stars in the sky, but when he looked at it, his heart suddenly jumped, "That's not right...that's not right.

...This direction...This direction is not north...We are running in the opposite direction, running in the opposite direction..."

Just when Zeng Dahu discovered something unusual, the horse thief in front let out a cry of extreme fear, which attracted everyone's eyes to look forward. Then everyone saw a scene that made them unbelievable.

Not far away from them, in the dark night, stood a group of men and horses quietly, with swords out of their sheaths and guns leveled, in a posture about to charge...

The fire gradually ignited, and under the brilliance of the torch, a three-color battle flag fluttered in the night wind, as if it was ruthlessly mocking, or as if it was narrating something in an understatement...

The horse thieves panicked, and something even more terrifying happened to them. As the fire lit up, war drums rumbled on the grassland, and then the sound of war drums seemed to be echoing from all directions, and then not only

The brilliance of torches appeared in the south, and the fire also appeared in the east and west. The fire that had disappeared in the north was ignited again, and it was like a dragnet heading towards the horse thieves!

The horse thieves burst into chaos!

Zeng Dahu shouted something, but no one could hear him, because all the horse thieves were shouting, and coupled with the sound of war drums and horse hooves nearby, one person's voice was too small...

This is a perfect hunt.

On one side are the hunters who are well prepared, and on the other are the panicked and exhausted prey.

In order to prevent Zeng Dahu, who had lost the cover of the Qiang tribe and was even reported by the Qiang people, from disappearing from sight again, and in order not to go too deep into the desert to pursue him, Zhang Liao patiently persuaded some Qiang people to pretend to be north of Zeng Dahu.

The large-scale incoming cavalry array was like hunting in the pasture, successfully driving the panicked horse thieves into the hunting circle...

The rest is simple.

The hussars encircled and charged forward at an extremely fast speed. They were originally brave and good at fighting, and they were waiting for work. However, the horse thieves consumed most of their horse power and manpower. They were so frightened that they lost their ranks and had no effective command. They only knew how to evade according to instinct.

Escape, it can be said that there is almost no resistance...

The hussars were galloping back and forth, wielding their spears and broadswords as easily as if they were cutting targets during training, while the horse thieves' heads and limbs were flying, blood was spraying everywhere, and they were running like wolves, crying for their fathers and mothers, like

They are running around like headless flies, letting others slaughter them.

The horse thieves, who had suffered a heavy blow to their physical strength and morale, faced the hussars' swords dripping with blood. Some of the smart ones immediately rolled to the ground, raised their buttocks and shivered in surrender, while the few horse thieves who resisted stubbornly,

He was quickly slaughtered on a battlefield filled with blood.

Half an hour later, at dawn, the battle was basically over.

Zeng Dahu is dead. I don’t know whether he died in a fight, or was killed while fleeing, or both, because there were injuries on his body, both on the front and back, and only the

If the other horse thieves and the Qiang people who led the way had not identified the half body, Zhang Liao might not be sure that this half body was that of Zeng Dahu, who was once famous in Longyou...

"After taking the head, keep it for now!" Zhang Liao ordered, "Clean the battlefield and prepare to return to the army!"

The soldiers responded excitedly, and then began to clean up the battlefield.

"What a pity..." Zhang Liao looked at Zeng Dahu's head and muttered in a low voice.

Although it was a complete and hearty victory, Zhang Liao still felt it was a pity. After all, the living Zeng Dahu would be more useful than the dead one. However, no one can say that he will be captured alive on the battlefield, so what happens next?
