Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 691 Chasing the Flood

As the so-called "prophet of the warm water in the spring river", it didn't matter that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, ran away. Biaoying, the closest subordinate under his command, was the first to discover the matter.

The coach is gone, so how can the officers and soldiers still have any fighting spirit? Suddenly, everyone abandoned their helmets and fled away, and the originally neat and orderly camp of officers and soldiers suddenly became chaotic.

Zhang Sanbai saw the army's rout from a distance, and quickly grabbed Chai Shihua and asked, "Where is Hong Chengchou? What does he look like?"

When Chai Shihua saw the chaos in front of him, where could he see clearly? He quickly responded: "That fellow Hong Chengchou was commanding troops and horses under the banner of the Chinese army. Now there is chaos. How can I see clearly? But this thief is a civil servant. As long as the general catches him wearing a red robe and a black gauze hat, That is what it is."

It turns out that according to the system of official uniforms in the Ming Dynasty, those in the first to fourth ranks were all in crimson color, which is deep red.

When Zhang Sanbai heard this, he couldn't help turning his head and shouted to He Jin: "Where is He Jin? You accompany General Chai to occupy the center of the army and break the banner to shake the morale of the army. Then attack from inside and outside, and defeat the remaining resistance of the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop. Soldiers. I will lead my own bodyguard to search for Hong Chengchou, so that I can achieve full success."

He Jin understood Zhang Sanbai's intention as soon as he heard this. On the one hand, he wanted to keep an eye on Chai Shihua to prevent other troubles, and on the other hand, he quickly took the opportunity to help the rebels deal with the officers and soldiers in front of him.

He quickly accepted the order, and Zhang Sanbai quickly rushed to where the officers and soldiers were. Not long after, when he rushed over, he saw a thick flagpole that was as high as the sky, with a solitary banner hanging on it.

There is a flag hanging on the big banner, with a green background and white borders, one foot wide. There was a pattern like a Sharingan drawn in the middle, surrounded by Bagua representing eight directions. The Bagua is surrounded by a circle of figures connected by dots. I don’t know whether it is an astrological diagram or a Luo Shu diagram.

Although Zhang Sanbai did not recognize this object, looking at its tall shape, he knew that it was the Chinese army's great banner of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces.

He quickly asked his soldiers to capture a few officers and soldiers, escorted them over and asked: "Where is Hong Chengchou? Report it quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

How dare those soldiers speak so harshly? They quickly pointed to the west and said, "Where is the supervisor going?"

"Have you ever ridden a horse? How many people are there?" Zhang Sanbai quickly asked.

"They all have fine horses, and there are almost four to five hundred people!" The captured officers and soldiers answered all questions one by one.

Zhang Sanbai waved his hand and asked the rebels to take the soldiers down. He thought to himself: "If what these people said is true, they will head west to Xin'an County from now on. Although the Lord sent Chen Changzhen to go ahead We went to attack Xin'an to cut off his way back. I don't know what happened now. If I was a little negligent, wouldn't I have allowed this thief to escape?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Sanbai simply selected two hundred knights, abandoned the battlefield, and went all the way up the Jianhe River to pursue Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces.

Not long after, the knights left the battlefield and galloped for about half an hour. After about twenty or thirty miles, no one was seen. Zhang Sanbaizhengdao himself was deceived by those "thieves", and suddenly saw a group of people resting in front of him in the distance.

Zhang Sanbai was overjoyed, and he intuitively knew that the governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou, was in front of him. He quickly ordered: "Expand the battle formation and prepare to launch an assault on the enemy in front!"

After Zhang Sanbai finished speaking, the cavalry under his command were like ever-changing monsters. From the long snake formation that was originally marching, they instantly pounced on the men and horses who were dismounting and resting in front like eagles spreading their wings.

The men and horses had already arranged for scouts to be on guard, and when the rebel cavalry arrived, they quickly raised the alarm in time.

However, the rebels arrived too quickly and attacked without hesitation, leaving far too little time for this group to prepare.

By the time they got on their horses and got into formation, Zhang Sanbai had already taken the lead and led them into the crowd.

Although there were far more men and horses in this group than the rebels, they did not gallop and were unable to take advantage of the speed of the cavalry to meet the enemy. They were immediately killed by the rebels and everyone was turned upside down.

Zhang Sanbai was so keen. When he saw that the other party's uniforms were those of Qin soldiers, he couldn't help but shouted: "Where is Hong Chengchou? Save your life!"

It didn't matter that Zhang Sanbai drank. Sure enough, after hearing the words, a man in red robe broke away from the crowd and fled westward again.

Zhang Sanbai looked at him and understood, and thought to himself: This person ran away in panic, it must be Hong Chengchou! Immediately, he got rid of the entanglement of the surrounding officers and soldiers, and personally led thirty or fifty people to chase the fleeing man.

When the two sides got closer, Zhang Sanbai took out the carved bow behind him and pulled it with a squeaking sound like a full moon. There was only a "buzz" sound, an arrow was shot, and one of the officers and soldiers who fled in a hurry fell off his horse.

"Huh? I hit it!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but be overjoyed and thought to himself: I have been practicing archery for days, and today I finally achieved some success.

It turned out that Zhang had 300 innate magical powers and could shoot a 300-pound hard bow. Later, after receiving guidance from Chen Changzhen, he thought he would be able to soar into the sky and become the "Arrow God".

But he never expected that the three-pointed two-edged sword would develop rapidly in the past two years, but the accuracy of his archery skills had always been random. Now that all the hardships have come to an end, how can he not be happy?

So, Zhang Sanbai took another arrow, bent his bow and shot, only to hear a miserable cry of war horses. Zhang Sanbai took a closer look and saw a man and a horse rushing through the formation of officers and soldiers, scurrying around. Not long after, the horse fell to the ground dead, lifeless before his eyes.

Zhang Sanbai chased after him and chopped the owner of the war horse to the ground with just one blow. Then, he made a handsome sword dance and said to himself with a depressed look: I was originally going to shoot Hong Chengchou who was wearing a red robe, but how could I shoot someone else's horse?

But no matter what, the two sides chased and escaped, and the distance between the two sides could never be shortened. Zhang Sanbai had no choice but to continue shooting blindly, which was better than nothing.

It didn't matter that he shot randomly, but Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces in front of him, was in a panic. He watched helplessly as some of the soldiers on the left and right were shot through the chest with an arrow from the back, some had their horses killed, some had their throats cut, and some had their horses' legs lame.

The thief's "arrow skills" are as good as those of a god. He makes a wild show and never knows when it will be his turn.

He quickly whispered to the man in red robe beside him: "I see that this man only shoots the soldiers on your left and right, but refuses to shoot you. He must be trying to capture you alive. Now that you are wearing my crown and robe, you will have no worries. And block my back, don’t let me get hit by the thief’s arrow by mistake!”

Although the man in the red robe was unwilling to do so, how could a person like Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, whose life and fortune depended on his own hands, have any reason to resist?

He quickly accepted the order and went there, only guarding Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces who was dressed as a soldier, in front of him.

It turned out that after Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, fled the battlefield, he walked hastily for half an hour, and his body was quite exhausted, so he had to dismount his horse and rest for a while.

During that rest, Hong Chengchou, the wily governor of the five provinces, was afraid that the rebels would catch up and he would not survive. He changed his robes with the boy beside him so as not to be noticed by the rebels, but he mingled with the soldiers in order to escape with his life.
