The soldiers and horses led by Tang Guozuo and Jiao Mengxiong are all soldiers and servants in the palaces of the lords of the southern capital, and these people are no worse than the three major battalions in terms of showing off their martial arts, but their combat effectiveness is inferior.

This is also the reason why Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, only asked the Eastern Route Army to be responsible for blocking the retreat of the Wei eunuchs, instead of attacking Liyang.

Grandpa Guo is afraid that this gang of "coalition forces" will make a mistake.

After Tang Guozuo ordered the whole army to pull out of the camp, the team was in a commotion, and it took more than an hour before setting off, which made Tang Guozuo angry, but fortunately, the Fengcheng Marquis surrounded the Wei eunuchs, and there was no difference between early and late, so he was discouraged under the persuasion of Jiao Mengxiong.

The distance from Xiaozhuang Mountain, where the East Route Army is located, to the Liyang Iron Field is not close, there are more than 90 miles, but it is a straight official road, and there are not many hills to obstruct it, so the speed of the team is still quite fast.

In the evening, Xu Xing, the general of the Wei Mansion, came to report again, and this time the news was a bit serious, saying that some of the Wei eunuchs' soldiers protruded from the Liyang Iron Field, as if there were Wei eunuchs inside.

Xu Xing said that the Marquis of Fengcheng asked the Marquis of Lingbi and Dongningbo to quickly lead reinforcements, and they should also send more people to search on the road, and in any case, they could not let the escaped Wei eunuch soldiers escape.

"Did Eunuch Wei run out or not!"

Tang Guozuo hated Eunuch Wei to the bone, so he was very concerned about where Eunuch Wei was.

"The last general doesn't know, but Master Hou has tried a few prisoners and said that Eunuch Wei will ride a horse..."

Xu Xing revealed an important piece of information, there were more than a dozen knights in the team of Wei eunuchs who escaped.

"In this way, Eunuch Wei may be among that team."

Tang Guozuo frowned, he rushed over with the troops just to grab this work, but the target ran out, which was tricky.

Xu Xing hurriedly said that the Marquis of Fengcheng had already sent troops to chase and kill, as long as there was no mistake on the side of the Marquis of Lingbi, even if the Wei eunuch really escaped, he would not be able to escape.

Jiao Mengxiong said: "This is the road to the south, Eunuch Wei has no other way to go, and the order is to go down and search along the way tomorrow to see where Eunuch Wei can hide." ”

Tang Guozuo nodded in agreement, and was afraid that the Wei eunuch would abscond at night, so he deliberately sent more people to patrol, and he could quickly deploy troops as soon as there was a disturbance.

That night, nothing happened, and no one was found.

Early the next morning, the Eastern Route Army continued to advance in the direction of the iron field, and Xu Xing also followed them. On the way, nearby villages and villages all sent people to search, but no trace of Wei eunuch and his minions was found.

At noon, the soldiers of Quang Ninh Bo Mansion, who had taken the lead in front, came to report that they had found a group of people coming from the west, but they hurriedly turned around and ran away when they saw them from a distance.

"It must be Wei Gelding!"

Tang Guozuo hurriedly led people to the front to inspect with Jiao Mengxiong, and sure enough, a group of people were desperately fleeing westward two or three miles away.

"Old Tang, I'll take someone to chase it!"

Without saying a word, Jiao Mengxiong brought hundreds of people to chase after him, and Xu Xing also volunteered to chase with Dong Ningbo.

When he got closer, he found that there were really horsemen riding horses in the fleeing team in front of him, and Uncle Jiao immediately became excited and shouted: "Quick, give the order, catch the horseback Ben Bo and get a reward!" ”

The soldiers of the lords and the family immediately became happy when they heard Dong Ningbo's words, they had hundreds of people, but the other party only had more than a hundred, wouldn't this reward be at your fingertips!

Uncle Jiao was even more excited in his heart, if Eunuch Wei was really in that team, then this merit would be his. At that moment, Dong Ningbo, who was bent on grabbing the first credit, rushed forward with people.

After the people in front found that there was a large group of people running behind them, they ran back nervously and desperately.

"Brothers, chase after you!" Xu Xing couldn't help but cheer for the soldiers.

Seeing that the fleeing guys were only concerned about running, the soldiers of the lord's mansion were all in high spirits, and they moved forward bravely, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed out of the land of Lixu.

Seeing that the riders in the fleeing group suddenly got faster, and the figures ran farther and farther, Uncle Jiao was a little anxious, and he couldn't stop beating the mount, and rushed up with his men in a hurry.

He didn't just care about it, and looked around from time to time, lest there be an ambush, but he couldn't see any people appearing, so he couldn't help but relax his vigilance, and he wanted to catch Eunuch Wei and go back to Nanjing to show his face.

After a long time, they found that the gang of people who fled in front kept throwing things on the ground, and when they saw what they were throwing, the soldiers in front of them suddenly turned red-eyed, and their instincts prompted them to bow their heads to pick them up. The broken silver is easy to find, but the copper plate is difficult to find, and some are thrown in the grass, and you have to grope for a while to pick it up.

The soldiers in front of them all picked up the money, and the soldiers in the back didn't know what was going on, so they rushed forward stupidly, and as a result, they collided with their companions in front of them and became a mess. When he saw the discarded silver and copper plates on the ground, he also subconsciously bent down to pick them up, and for a while, the dense heads of people all looked at the ground.

Uncle Jiao was unconscious, and his heart trembled: It's not good, there is fraud!

"Master Hou, there is a trick!"

Xu Xing also hurriedly shouted loudly to the soldiers who were picking up the copper plates: "Don't pick it up, don't pick it up, this is the enemy's trick, it's the enemy's trick!" ”

But the soldiers were in a mess, and Xu Xing couldn't tell them to stop after shouting for a long time.

Uncle Jiao also reined in the horse and didn't dare to go any further. Fortunately, the soldiers of his uncle's mansion were not confused by Xiaoli, and surrounded the uncle's horse with knives and guns, staring at the soldiers who were picking up copper plates and silver.

"A bunch of things that don't want to kill for money!"

Uncle Jiao was so angry that he scolded, and at this time, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly shouted: "Uncle, the enemy is not running away!" ”

Hearing this, Uncle Jiao and Xu Xing were shocked by the same drama: Is there really an ambush!

But the four fields are empty, and there are no nearby hills or woods, where are the ambush soldiers hiding?

"Uncle, someone, someone!"

A soldier shouted loudly, followed his gestures, and saw that many people suddenly rushed out of those ditches by the empty wheat field to kill them, and the group of Wei eunuchs who had been running away also turned around and rushed back to kill, and there was a person in a white robe, I don't know if it was a Wei eunuch.

Uncle Jiao was shocked, and he couldn't tell how many people there were when he looked at it, but he heard the shouts of killing all around, and many flags were fluttering, as if thousands of troops were rushing to kill him.

The soldiers who were still picking up broken silver and copper plates were frightened by this sudden shock, and were only stunned for a moment, and when no one took the lead, the shouting and shouting of the soldiers retreated, and many of them still held a handful of copper in their hands.

Uncle Jiao's crotch was frightened and couldn't help pouting, and all the armored soldiers were also colorless, looking at Uncle Jiao at a loss.

"Uncle, go away, protect Uncle!"

Xu Xing grabbed the reins of Uncle Jiao's horse, and ran back.

Seeing this, the soldiers of Dongningbo's Mansion also hurried to follow, and Dongningbo ran this time, and the soldiers of the rest of the families had to run even more. The enemy soldiers have long been ambushed here, waiting for work, and I don't know how many people there are, where do they dare to fight.

It's just that they ran a few miles in one go, and they want to run back again, but it's not easy.

Soon hearing the loud noise, many soldiers knelt directly on the ground in fright and begged for mercy, and their courage trembled.

Tang Hou Ye was leading the troops behind, and when he heard the sound of the guns in front of him, he thought that Lao Jiao was leading people to fight with Eunuch Wei's soldiers, so he hurriedly brought people up for reinforcements, but what he didn't want to see was the people from Dongning Bo Mansion who fled back in embarrassment.

"Old Tang, there is an ambush ahead, you can't go!"

Uncle Jiao hugged the horse's neck and ran wildly, almost scaring his soul away.
