Chapter 1053: The Head of the Thief Is Dead
Nanlou's chest was pierced, and the spear that passed through his body was stained with blood.
Blood fell down the spear.
Nanlou's face froze instantly, and the whole person was in a state of horror.
It's just that this kind of face, just stay for a moment, and the functions of the body will slip away in an instant.
In this way, the difficult building fell from the warhorse.
He who dies cannot die anymore.
It is difficult to die.
Zhang He saw that Nanlou was dead, and his face showed a hint of pride.
Immediately, he shouted loudly at the enemy soldiers around him.
"The head of the thief is dead, the head of the thief is dead!"
The purpose of this shouting is to let these enemy troops know that their leader is dead.
As soon as the leader dies, their morale will inevitably be severely defeated.
At the same time, it can also bring great excitement to your own army.
It has a great effect on the help of the battle situation.
With Zhang He's several shouts, this dark night, there were still torches fluttering around, and there were many fewer in an instant.
At first glance, the cavalry under the Karasuma people knew that their leader was dead, and immediately extinguished the torches, and then quickly fled out.
As soon as Nanlou died, although the remaining guards still had the strength to spare, it was difficult to kill these attacking enemy troops and protect these grains and grasses.
The smarter ones immediately thought about running away, and only a few stunned people would continue to stay here and fight the enemy troops.
Hundreds of Karasuma cavalry immediately declined in the battle with Zhang He's men and horses.
The fighting on both sides did not last long.
In just half a effort, hundreds of cavalry were killed and wounded, and the remaining men and horses on the edge had already fled.
However, the coachmen who were originally escorting the baggage team had already abandoned their baggage before the battle began, and immediately fled in all directions.
Those coachmen were not Karasuma's men, but some Han Chinese people recruited by Wu Wenren on the spot.
Capture them and use them as charioteers to transport grain and grass.
In essence, they also want to make the best use of things and use them as slaves.
Naturally, these coachmen could not work for the Karasuma people, and once they encountered some danger, they would immediately think about survival.
Running away is normal.
When the fighting stopped, Zhang He asked people to look around with torches.
There were no enemy troops around, and only the grain and grass that stayed in the middle of the road remained.
"My lord, the enemy army has been wiped out by our army!"
Zhang He's personal soldiers trotted to Zhang He's side in a few steps and replied to Zhang He.
The words are not finished yet, but the meaning is obvious, just waiting for Zhang He's next instructions.
Zhang He raised his eyes and looked around on the ground.
Immediately, there was no nostalgia at all, and he coldly gave an order to his own soldiers.
"Gather all the corpses on the ground together, spread the grain and grass and burn them together."
There are a lot of grains and grasses, and if dozens of trucks are transported to Lecheng County, they can solve the needs of tens of thousands of people for a few days.
This is the third batch of grain and grass burned by Zhang He.
It has already destroyed most of the grain and grass looted by Badun and others in Zhongshan Kingdom.
There should be some grain and grass to be transported from Zhongshan Country to Hejian County in the future, but the amount should not be too much.
Just caught a few live mouths, Zhang He had already asked the identity of the difficult building from the mouths of those people.
Knowing that Nanlou is the main person in charge of transporting grain and grass this time.
Since the difficult building appears here, it can be concluded that this batch of grain and grass should be the most important batch.
There shouldn't be much left.
But even so, Zhang He didn't plan to return now.
Now go back though his plan has been achieved.
But there was still something missing.
Zhang He planned to continue the pursuit.
Completely cut off the grain and grass they plundered in Zhongshan Country.
even killed all the Karasuma troops left behind by Bunton and others in Zhongshan Kingdom.
Null and no of their previous deployment plans.
"Be quick with your hands and feet, burn these grains and grass as soon as possible, and we will continue to pursue!"
After Zhang He's personal soldiers heard Zhang He's words, their faces inevitably showed a trace of reluctance.
After all, there are dozens of truckloads of grain and grass here, but it is a valuable asset.
Burning it down like this for no reason is really a sin, it's a waste.
But he couldn't help it. With just their hundreds of cavalry, it is also difficult to transport these dozens of truckloads of grain and grass back to Jizhou.
The only way to do this is to burn it.
Otherwise, if it is transported back to Jizhou in this way, it is very likely that it will be sent over to chase and intercept it after Badun knows about it.
When the time comes, not only will they not even be able to transport grain and grass away, but they will also be deeply encircled, and life and death will depend on heaven.
Zhang He is a cautious person, and naturally he will not lose a big one because of a small one.
Grain and grass are very important to the Karasuma people, but for Liu Zheng, they don't care so much.
Liu Zheng has a lot of land and resources, and there are several granaries, and food is the most lacking.
Otherwise, in the early years, he would not have been able to take out so much grain to sell.
Although in the past two years, Liu Zheng's men have been waging wars.
A lot of food was consumed, but his men were not very short.
Besides, these grains and grasses here are just a drop in the bucket for Liu Zheng's men, and they are nothing at all.
After Zhang He gave a few words, he watched the grain and grass here burn, and the sky was also lit up by the firelight here.
After the fire here was a little smaller, Zhang He led the cavalry here and continued to rush to the direction of Zhongshan Kingdom.
Although there is not much grain and grass left, and the baggage team that escorts the grain and grass may have known the news in advance and will not continue to take this road to escort the grain and grass.
But Zhang He still has to finish the rest of the work, and he can eliminate as many people as he can with the baggage team.
We can't let the grain and grass of Zhongshan Country be transported to Hejian County at any point.
Hejian County, Lecheng County.
Two days passed in a hurry.
Badun didn't rush to attack Xu Huang, after all, Xu Huang's men and horses were still stationed here, and it was not so easy to defeat directly.
Bun Dun also knew that Yuan Xi's plan was to temporarily show weakness, and then wait for the large army that attracted Liu Zheng, and wait for the Xianbei army hidden in the Liaodong region to arrive.
You can kill Liu Zheng by surprise and directly eliminate Liu Zheng's people.
Hit Liu Zheng hard, and let these people in the north take advantage of the situation to rise.
Therefore, now, Bunton does not need to show his strength in front of Xu Huang, and in the past two days, he has not been in a hurry to attack, but has waited in Lecheng County.
The grain and grass that he snatched from Zhongshan Country can be transported to Lecheng County.
In this way, the pressure on their grain and grass can be relieved.
However, after waiting for two days, he did not even wait for the first batch of grain and grass.
