Chapter 123 Pursuit

Zhao Hanzhang brought all the cavalry and only 800 infantry, leaving the rest to guard Wubao.

The cavalry goes first. Wubao is not very far from the county seat. It can be reached in a quarter of an hour with a quick horse.

Not far after leaving Wubao, they encountered people fleeing from the city. Seeing them from a distance, the people ran away and ran directly into the fields.

Some people didn't dare turn around to pick up their luggage when they dropped it. If they fell, they would roll and crawl into the fields, staying as far away from them as possible.

Zhao Hanzhang only glanced at him and said to Zhao Ju: "Go down and tell me that after entering the city, you are only allowed to rescue people and not disturb the people!"

Zhao Ju agreed and picked out two scouts with loud voices and asked them to pass on the order.

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

Zhao Hanzhang led people into the doorway on horseback, when a man from a family ran out with a disheveled woman and a child, met them head-on, and fell to the ground with his legs weak.

Not seeing Zhao Hanzhang clearly on the horse, he dragged his wife and children behind him. Zhao Hanzhang reined in the horse and asked, "We are from Zhao's Wubao. Where are the rebels in the city now?"

The pale-faced man came back to his senses slightly when he heard Zhao's Wubao. He looked up and saw that Zhao Hanzhang was a girl. He immediately burst into tears. He pulled his wife and children and kowtowed. He pointed his finger at the city, shook his head and said: "Inside." ,in……"

Zhao Hanzhang looked at the empty streets. From time to time, sharp cries could be heard from one place, so he called for scouts, "You go into the city and report that Zhao's reinforcements have arrived."

"yes."

The scout quickly left and shouted: "Zhao's reinforcements have arrived——"

"Zhao's reinforcements have arrived——"

Zhao Hanzhang ordered, "Everyone should form a group. Everyone should go towards the county government. If they see any rebels, they should wipe out all the rebels. The main thing is to protect the people!"

Everyone responded loudly, "I have the order!"

Zhao Hanzhang turned to Zhao Ju and said, "Take something with you."

"Sanniang, you..."

"I can lead a team myself."

Zhao Ju glanced at Fu Tinghan and agreed. The group of people hurried forward. When they saw the fork in the road, they turned in and listened to the noise and went in to rescue people.

Zhao Hanzhang soon separated from Zhao Ju.

A scout announced loudly in advance. When the people hiding in the houses in the city heard that Zhao's reinforcements were arriving, they felt hopeful and hid tighter.

When the people who had been invaded by the rebels heard the sound of the scouts, they struggled outside and shouted for help.

When the tribesmen heard the cry for help, they went to save them. The county town, which originally had only shrill cries, erupted into cries of killing.

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

The dozen or so rebels who had just robbed the gold and silver heard the shouts of the scouts on the street and immediately ran out with the packages in their arms. When they turned around, they saw Zhao Hanzhang and his entourage coming towards them on horseback. Before they could react, An arrow flew out and penetrated directly into the chest of the current person.

His packages were scattered on the ground, his eyes widened, and he fell down unwillingly.

The collected gold and silver rolled out of the bag. When his companions saw it, they subconsciously squatted down to pick it up. In a moment, the cavalry arrived. Zhao Hanzhang drew out his sword and killed two of them with two swords. The rest were killed by the troops behind her. kill.

The group of people did not stop, did not pick up the gold, silver and jewelry on the ground, and left directly to the next place.

Qiu Wu came running with his infantry. When he entered the city, he heard the chaos in the city. He remembered the girl's instructions before setting off, and immediately said: "Go and capture the county government!"

"yes."

The city was full of rebels who looted and set fire. Zhao Hanzhang and the others went all the way to the county government to kill. Halfway through, the rebels got the news and gathered on the main street. When the infantry arrived, Zhao Hanzhang and the others were blocked on the road.

Seeing so many reinforcements suddenly appearing, the rebels were startled and retreated in a hurry.

In the county town they captured last night, although the magistrate was dead, the big families in the city still closed their doors and resisted individually, so they were busy killing and robbing all night.

They had robbed a lot of things at this time, and it was the time when they were most relaxed. Zhao Hanzhang and the others came to kill them. They had lost all their energy and were sleepy. Originally, the more than a hundred cavalrymen killed them, which frightened them. When they looked at it again, With so many reinforcements suddenly appearing, they no longer had any intention of resisting, so they turned around and ran away.

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

Zhao Ju searched inside and outside the county government office. They retreated very cleanly, leaving no rebels behind. However, Qiu Wu found a dying servant from a pile of corpses.

Fu Tinghan stepped forward to check the wounds on his body, and finally shook his head at Zhao Hanzhang. The knife edge hit his heart, and the man almost lost consciousness.

The servant opened his eyes slightly and widened slightly when he saw Zhao Hanzhang. He grabbed the corner of Zhao Hanzhang's clothes and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Girl, girl..."

Fu Tinghan came closer and asked, "What did you say?"

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

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

"The rebels... captured, captured... Please, save the girl..." Before the servant could finish his words, he loosened his grip on Zhao Hanzhang's clothes and closed his eyes slightly.

Fu Tinghan was already very close, but still only vaguely heard the word "girl". He looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

"They kidnapped Magistrate Fan's daughter." Zhao Hanzhang suddenly remembered something and stood up and said: "Call everyone here. Uncle Qianli, you and a group of people stay behind to clean up the rebels in the county. The rest will wait with me." Go chase the retreating rebels."

Zhao Ju said: "Sanniang, don't chase the poor bandits."

"They kidnapped many people. We have to rescue them." Otherwise, those women would not survive long in their hands.

Zhao Ju could only obey orders.

Zhao Hanzhang led his men to chase them out of Xiping County. Ji Ping dismounted and looked at the traces before saying, "Sanniang, they are going to Nan'an County."

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

"This is so boring," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Our troops are divided into two groups. Qiu Wu, you take Fu Dalangjun and three groups of troops to take a shortcut in front of them. I will lead the cavalry to pursue from behind, and we will make a dumpling for him. "

"They certainly can't run fast with people and property. Since they have decided to rob people, let's take back what they took away."

"yes!"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded to Fu Tinghan, "You lead them and wait for us behind."

"Okay, then don't chase too closely."

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

He said this, but before he saw the figure, Zhao Hanzhang still speeded up to catch up. They were all on horseback, and their speed was naturally fast. They chased for less than two quarters of an hour before they saw the rebels carrying a large amount of property and women running for their lives.

Zhao Hanzhang began to slow down his speed and followed them slowly, not only to let them see him, but also occasionally speeding up to catch up, forcing them to disperse even further but not catching up.
