Chapter 429: Gathering Annihilation
When the sky was overcast, Zhao Quan finally led the main force to Liubu Town, after a rapid march in the middle of the night, the team was already sleepy and tired, coupled with the severe cold weather, a group of thieves were even more hungry and cold, the order to rest in place, the thieves couldn't wait to throw away their weapons and sit down, more than 5,000 people lay on the ground, and some of the thieves who still had energy searched from house to house, hoping to get some oil and water, but unfortunately the residents of the town had already run out, leaving behind some worthless belongings.
"Zhao Dangjia, the proprietor's promise has been fulfilled, can the people and account books be handed over to the subordinates to take away?" The bald fanzi Yan Yang came down with five men and asked in front of Zhao Quan.
Zhao Quan looked at the stuffed grain in the warehouse, and said with a faint smile: "The food is enough, but the weapons seem to be less, so let's do it, the concubine of the Song Governor's Mansion can let you take it away first, but the account book will be held first, if Father-in-law Luo gets another thousand waist knives, a thousand spears, three hundred bows, and three thousand arrows, I will return the account book." ”
Zhao Quan obviously tasted the sweetness, and was ready to use the account book to blackmail again. Yan Yang's face changed, and he said angrily: "You are untrustworthy!" ”
Zhao Quan said calmly: "It's not that I don't believe in my words, it's just that the things you sent are not enough, don't worry, as long as you send the above weapons, Zhao's account book will be returned to Grandpa Luo." ”
Although he knew that Zhao Quan was shamelessly cheating, Yan Yang didn't dare to turn his face on the spot, after all, now that people are under the eaves, if they fall out, maybe even their own lives will be in danger, and finally he bit it and said in a deep voice: "I will bring the words of Commander Zhao to my father-in-law, but whether I agree or not is my father-in-law's business." ”
"Hehe, Grandpa Luo is a smart man, he will agree!" Zhao Quan clapped his hands, and the pale Ma Rong'er was brought over.
Wang Tang looked at the bewitching young woman who was pitiful like a quail, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, the taste of this woman is fascinating, Tang Jing, who was standing next to the horse in the distance, also looked over here, and the hand holding the reins of the horse was green, and he couldn't forget the taste of this woman.
Knock knock knock......
At this time, there was a sudden sound of war drums like muffled thunder outside the town, and then the shouting of killing went straight into the sky, and the Ming army did not know when it touched the vicinity, and killed Liubu Town like a tide.
Bang bang bang......
The sound of fire guns sounded like bursting beans, Sun Cai's face changed greatly, and he blurted out: "It's not good, there is an ambush, we have been tricked." ”
Zhao Quan's color was instantly pale, and he raised his hand and printed it on the chest of the bald Yan Yang, who was hit before he had time to react, and flew out of several meters with a scream on the spot, blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted out of his mouth. Zhao Quan's iron sand palm has been soaked for nearly twenty years, and it can almost crack the stone, and it broke Yan Yang's sternum and internal organs with one palm, which is terrifying.
As soon as Zhao Quan made a move, the five brothers brought by Yan Yang were also killed by Sun Cai and others, Wang Tang was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, it was the first time he had seen Zhao Quan's force so terrifying.
At this time, the Ming army had already killed outside the town, 3,000 men and horses of Xuzhou Wei attacked from behind the town, 3,000 men of Linqing Wei attacked from the head of the town, and 2,000 men and horses of Tai'anwei, as well as 500 cavalry led by Wang Lin'er Xie Erjian, were guarding outside the town, ready to kill the thieves who broke through.
It is said that since learning of the plan of the thieves, Xu Jin quietly withdrew the 3,000 people of Xuzhou Wei and Linqing Wei, plus 2,000 Tai'an Wei and 500 cavalry, and rushed to the vicinity of Liubu Town in advance to ambush and wait for work.
First of all, they will plan and eat some of the thieves in Tai'an City, and let the rest go to the ambush circle in Liubu Town by themselves, so that they can destroy the thieves at the least cost.
"Kill!" The Ming army swept into the town of Liubu all over the mountains, with pikemen in front, followed by firecrackers and sword and shield bearers.
Those thieves drove the road in the middle of the night, and at this moment they were tired and hungry, and more than 5,000 people were crowded in the streets of the town, and the recuperated Ming army suddenly entered, and immediately slaughtered like a tiger into the flock of sheep, chopping melons and vegetables.
"Concentrate on breaking through to the town!" Zhao Quan decisively ordered that instead of being attacked on both sides, it was better to concentrate his forces and rush out of the town.
At this moment, the elite of the White Lotus Sect took the lead, leading the men and horses to attack in the direction of the town, at this time, they had to fight for their lives, and Lin Qingwei, who was responsible for attacking the town, suddenly felt that the resistance increased greatly.
The elites of the White Lotus Sect all have martial arts and strong combat effectiveness, although the number is less than five hundred, but in the narrow streets, they exert extremely strong lethality, and Lin Qingwei, who was originally advancing like chopping melons and vegetables, was suddenly forced to retreat slowly.
At this time, from a bird's-eye view of the sky, I saw the Ming army wearing mandarin duck jackets pouring in from both ends of the town like a tide, and the bandits dressed in disorderly clothes were blocked in the narrow streets, like a flood waiting to be discharged. Some clever thieves slipped into the alleys between the houses in an attempt to sneak out of town, only to be shot with firearms and arrows by Tai Anwei, who was waiting outside, as soon as they appeared.
The battle at both ends of the town was fierce, and there were corpses everywhere, both thieves and Ming soldiers, and the sticky blood washed the granite and house walls of the streets, and the severed limbs and stumps fell everywhere.
Xue Bingxin's horse team was useless at this time, there were too many people on the street, and they couldn't gallop at all, and the horse army that had lost its mobility would only become a target for being beaten, so Xue Bingxin didn't participate in the battle, and honestly stayed in the town, waiting for the front to successfully break through.
The fierce battle lasted for half an hour, and Xuzhou Wei had advanced twenty meters from the back of the town, killing hundreds of thieves. At this time, in the direction of the town, under the bloody battle of the elite of the White Lotus Sect, Lin Qingwei finally couldn't bear the pressure and slowly withdrew from the town.
"Kill!" Seeing a glimmer of life, the thieves rushed out of the town even more frantically, like a raging wave lacking an embankment, unstoppable.
Lin Qingwei's commander and acquaintance Shi Zhen couldn't help but sweat when they saw this, these thieves had a strong desire to survive, so they ordered to stabilize their positions and retreat while fighting back.
After leaving the town, the space became open, and the thieves began to flee to both sides, and Lin Qingwei suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced.
Wang Lin'er raised his waist knife and said, "Brothers, it's our turn to play!" ”
The five hundred cavalry were already itching, and at the same time drew their waist knives and roared: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the three hundred horsemen rolled towards a group of thieves, like knives cutting tofu, and this group of thieves was torn apart under the iron hooves......
Two thousand Tai Anwei also attacked, and Xie Erjian led the remaining two hundred cavalry to stay where he was, he was waiting, waiting for the horse team led by Bing Niu'er.
Drive......
The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the long street, and two hundred black-clothed black horsemen came out of the town, quickly pounced on Linqingwei, and unstoppably passed through the formation, and the slow-running Ming army died on the spot.
Xie Erjian's eyes lit up, and with a wave of the spear in his hand, the two hundred horsemen immediately set off and rushed towards the black cavalry thief army.
The two horse teams launched a fierce battle in the wilderness outside the town, and at the same time, Xuzhou Wei, who attacked from behind the town, had already entered the town, crossed the long street to the town, and joined forces with Linqingwei and Tai'an Wei, besieging most of the thieves and slashing them.
The morning sun rose higher and higher, and more than 5,000 thieves had been killed or wounded, and Zhao Quan and Wang Tang rushed out of the encirclement under the elite guards, each fleeing with hundreds of people.
"Kill, capture Zhao Quan alive and promote the official to the third level, and cut off the two heads of the official to be promoted to the second level!" The generals of the Ming army shouted loudly, and a group of soldiers bravely chased after them.
Qi Jingtong led two hundred cavalry to join the cavalry battle, Xue Bingxin was drenched in sweat at the moment, her black clothes were already soaked with sweat and blood, and more than half of the two hundred cavalry under her command had been killed or wounded, and only eighty horses were left.
"Lei Jun, withdraw!" Xue Bingxin saw that Zhao Quan and the others had run away, and decisively ordered the horse team to retreat.
Drive......
Xue Bingxin led the rest of his troops to flee to the north, and Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong led the cavalry to chase after them.
At this time, the battle of Liubu Town was also coming to an end, Zhao Quanwangtang and other thieves fled, and other thieves abandoned and surrendered, and the Ming army beheaded more than 2,000 people and captured more than 1,500 people.
Besides, Zhao Quan led six hundred elites to the north and fled, and the Ming army bit the tail to chase and kill, and when they fled to Xiaoqinghe in the southwest of Jinan City, there were only 100 people left of the six hundred elites, and they were either killed by the Ming army, or they fled.
Zhao Quanzhi ordered people to collect ferries along the Xiaoqing River, prepare to take a boat into the Yellow River through the Xiaoqing River, and then flee north to Shanxi. As the saying goes, even if there is no firewood, Zhao Quan plans to go back and lurk for a few years, and then wait for the opportunity to rise again.
After about half an hour, Zhao Quan and the others finally collected more than a dozen bow ferries, but they didn't wait for Xue Bingxin behind the palace, but waited for the Ming army to come to help the pursuers.
Zhao Quan sighed secretly, I'm afraid that Senior Sister Xue is more auspicious, as for Wang Tang, who also didn't arrive, Zhao Quan didn't care too much, and decisively ordered the boat to leave.
Drive......
It was the second brother-in-law Xie Erjian who came to the Xiaoqing River, and when he saw the ferry that had sailed to the center of the river from the shore, he immediately led a horse team to chase along the river, and at the same time assigned some people to requisition the boats along the coast.
