    Almost the moment the city gate was breached, the leader of the thieves, Zhao Dahu, who had just fallen asleep in the county government office, was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.  "General, general" the soldiers outside the door shouted urgently, knocking on the wooden door loudly.  "What's the matter, disturbing my sleep at this time? Come on, if it's nothing important, I'll chop off your head," Zhao Dahu said sternly as he climbed up from the bed in a daze.  On this extremely exquisite carved bed, there are two beautiful women lying on it, but they are the concubines that Zhao Dahu snatched from a wealthy family in the county.  Zhao Dahu was originally a bandit leader in Sanqin Prefecture, but was later recovered by Li Yingxiang. This man was brave and fierce and won the trust of Li Yingxiang.  A few months ago, Li Yingxiang led his troops to attack Shangqing County to no avail. A group of thieves ran hundreds of miles one after another, entered Xiajiang Mansion, and then captured several county towns, and finally gained a foothold.  Because Zhao Dahu was extremely brave during the attack, he was awarded the title of general by Li Yingxiang and ordered to station in Qutang County, Xiajiang Prefecture to resist attacks by officers and soldiers.  Zhao Dahu was extremely greedy for money and lustful. When he came to Qutang County, he gathered together the wealthy families in the county who had not yet had time to escape and demanded gold, silver and beauties. If they dared not give them, he would immediately serve them with weapons.  These two beauties are the two concubines of the Guo family, a wealthy family in the city. Last night was New Year's Eve. Zhao Dahu gathered all his subordinates and generals together and got drunk. Then he asked two women to sleep with him. After much trouble, he just fell asleep in the middle of the night.  So after being woken up, I was extremely angry.  "General, there is a sneak attack by enemy soldiers. They have broken through the county seat and are heading towards the county government office." The soldier shouted loudly outside the door.  "What?" Zhao Dahu jumped out of bed with a start and grabbed the broad-backed broadsword placed at the head of the bed.  This is a habit he developed when he was a robber. Whether sleeping or eating, the sword never leaves his hand.  At this time, the sounds of fighting in the distance could be clearly heard, vaguely mixed with shouts of "Don't let the leader of the thief go".  "Humph, it's not that easy to catch me." Zhao Dahu glanced at the two women on the bed.  At this moment, the two beautiful women were also awakened, hugging each other, trembling.  Once the county town is captured, it will be very risky to stay here. The only option is to escape first.  It was inconvenient to have two women in the rebel army. Zhao Dahu's eyes turned cold, the long knife flashed with blood, and then the two women let out a shrill scream, and their heads fell on the brocade quilt.  Even though he has died, he still has a look of disbelief.  "I can't take them away, and you don't want to." After killing two concubines, Zhao Dahu quickly put on his clothes, pushed the door open and went out. He said to the guard on the door handle: "Quickly pass my order, the guards must gather, kill  "Go out and fight your way out." "Yes," after receiving the order, the soldier did not dare to look into Zhao Dahu's eyes and hurriedly retreated.  Not long after, forty or fifty people gathered in the courtyard in panic.  Most of their clothes were messy and they didn't even put on their armor. They were obviously startled in a hurry.  "Raising an army for a thousand days is spent in one moment. I treat you well in normal times, but now in times of crisis, if anyone dares to have diarrhea, I will not treat you lightly. Kill me now and get out of the city." Zhao Dahu still hasn't done it to this day.  Get rid of the mentality of being a robber. When encountering danger, the first thought is to escape first.  These dozens of sergeants are his biggest asset. They usually serve them well with wine and meat, just to show off their skills at critical moments.  ¡°It was the general who ordered us,¡± dozens of sergeants roared in unison.  Following their voices, a strong sense of evil rushed up above the county government office.  "Let's go, kill" Zhao Dahu got on his horse, roared and ran towards the distance.  Behind him, dozens of sergeants followed closely.  Tonight, Liang Hou¡¯s soldiers attacked the city, taking advantage of the fact that the thieves were relaxed on New Year¡¯s Eve.  In order to prevent the thieves from escaping, all four city gates were opened simultaneously during the attack.  Zhu Yuanhao took the lead in breaking through the city gate, which can be regarded as the first success.  Hearing the shouts of killing from inside the city, the thieves guarding the remaining three city gates knew that the gates had been breached. They were panicked, resisted for a few times, and then turned around and fled.  Within a quarter of an hour, all four city gates fell into the hands of officers and soldiers.  Zhao Dahu left the county government office and looked over. He felt that the shouts at the west gate were the weakest. He made a prompt decision and led his sergeants to run towards the west gate.  Not long after they left, Zhu Yuanhao had already led his brothers to the gate of the county government office.  I saw the county government office being blazing with fire, and many servants were running around like headless flies, shouting.  In addition, some skirmishers gathered there to resist.  Zhu Yuanhao strode forward and killed several thieves who blocked him one after another. He put the bloody sword on the neck of the last thieves and asked: "Where is the thief Zhao Dahu? Where is he? Tell me quickly." "Villain, villain  I don't know," the thief replied tremblingly.  "It's useless." Zhu Yuanhao's long knife fell and had already cut off the opponent's head.  At this time, a subordinate rushed over and said urgently: "Brother Zhu, I caught the housekeeper in the house and said that Zhao Dahu ran away and ran to the west." "It's not that easy to run away. Wu Lianshan is leading the army to the west. This man is weak."  , I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t stop Zhao Dahu, let¡¯s chase¡± Zhu Yuan HaodenAfter a pause, he added: "Leave a group of brothers to see what else is left in the county government." "Yes," the subordinate immediately understood the meaning of his words.  After the bandits captured Qutang County, they robbed an unknown amount of gold and silver.  Now that you are leaving in a hurry, you must have left a lot behind. Taking advantage of the chaos to plunder, it can also be regarded as a welfare for the brothers.  When Zhao Dahu and his party arrived at the west city gate, they saw that the city gate had been breached, and many defeated soldiers retreated crying and screaming.  "You are not allowed to retreat, come and kill me," Zhao Dahu roared, leading his soldiers forward.  One of the thieves was about to retreat to the side, but saw the light of the sword flashing and flesh and blood flying everywhere.  The sergeant behind him acted in a decent manner. As long as the thieves dared to retreat, they would immediately kill them with their swords.  With the addition of fresh troops and the lack of a way out, these thieves were filled with ferocious intent and howled back.  At this time, Wu Lianshan, who was standing at the city gate and commanding his sergeants, also noticed the situation on the other side and hurriedly sent a group of soldiers to suppress the formation.  Soon, a soldier returned and reported: "General Wu Wei is the thief Zhao Dahu. Zhao Dahu has fled to us." "Okay, kill them all. Pass my order. Kill Zhao Dahu and reward fifty taels of silver." Listen.  Wu Lianshan was overjoyed when the thief leader fled in his own direction.  Originally, his men were the last to invade the city, thinking that they would not get much credit, but they did not expect that the big fish would come to their door automatically.  "Yes," the soldier responded, turned around and returned, shouting at the top of his lungs: "General Wu Wei has ordered to kill Zhao Dahu and reward him with fifty taels of silver." Then, many sergeants shouted: "Kill him.  "Zhao Dahu, reward fifty taels of silver." With the stimulation of the silver reward, the morale of the sergeants near the west city gate increased greatly.  "If you want to kill me, then come on. I am Zhao Dahu." Zhao Dahu roared and waved his broad-backed sword one after another, killing several sergeants who tried to get closer one by one.  Especially when killing the last close-quarters sergeant, he even held the opponent's head high.  Seeing how ferocious he was, the sergeants' frantic brains came to their senses and they did not dare to move forward.  The soldiers around Zhao Dahu seized the opportunity and swarmed forward to kill, quickly finding a way out.  "The general is mighty" was stimulated by the blood. All these thieves shouted loudly and rushed towards the blocking sergeant regardless of their own safety.  The officers and soldiers who originally had the advantage began to retreat instinctively and scattered in all directions.  Realizing that his military formation was unable to stop the murderer, Wu Lianshan screamed, "Use your bow and arrow, shoot for me." At this time, many sergeants also reacted, drawing their bows to full capacity, and pointed towards the fire.  Shoot away.  Immediately, many thieves were hit by arrows and fell down with shrill screams.  However, the remaining bandit soldiers did not flinch, they still pressed forward with howls, like a sharp knife, piercing through the thick military formation.  And Zhao Dahu is the tip of this sharp knife.  But when they saw where he passed, the officers and soldiers did not dare to fight. They were overwhelmed by the murderous spirit and ran aside in panic.  "Stop, stop them quickly, kill Zhao Dahu, reward a hundred taels of silver, cash it immediately afterwards" Wu Lianshan's mood has turned from surprise to fear. He did not expect that this big fish is so fierce that he cannot catch it at all.  Before the attack on Qutang County tonight, the commander-in-chief has issued an order to surround the four city gates and not allow even half of the thieves to escape.  If Zhao Dahu, the leader of the thieves, is allowed to leave his place, his head may not be saved afterwards.  When it comes to his wealth and life, Wu Lianshan can no longer care about money.  Momentum is invisible and intangible, but it does exist. Once it is taken away, it is difficult to get it back.  Although the reward was large, it could not stop the defeat of the officers and soldiers.  " If there are monks nearby at this moment, they can clearly see the two pillars of air rolling on the battlefield. Originally, the air above the officers and soldiers formation had the advantage, and the light was shining, like a hunting flag, surging forward.  But the fate of the thieves is shaky, and it seems that it will completely collapse in the next moment.  But when Zhao Dahu joined in, there were faint roars of wild beasts coming from the air column. The declining air column was quickly replenished and began to suppress the officers and soldiers.  ?Looking at the thieves who were shouting and killing with Zhao Dahu, they seemed to have lost their minds and could only wave their swords desperately, trying to carve out a bloody way to escape.  The entire west gate turned into a Shura field, scarlet blood flowed all over the ground, broken arms and legs were everywhere, and cries and screams could not be heard.  The number of Zhao Dahu's men was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, there were less than a hundred men, but they had already rushed out of the city gate and rushed into the night more than ten feet away.  On the other hand, Wu Lianshan still had two to three hundred sergeants beside him, but he did not dare to issue a pursuit order at all.  When Zhu Yuanhao led his troops to catch up, the chaos at the city gate still did not stop.  When he saw Wu Lianshan standing on the city gate, he immediately shouted: "General Wu Wei, I heard that the leader of the thieves, Zhao Dahu, escaped to the west gate, but he has been captured?" "Run away, Zhao Dahu just ran away, I ordered you to  Immediately lead people to chase him and be sure to stop him." Seeing Zhu Yuanhao leading the troops,Come on, Wu Lianshan's frustrated heart suddenly moved and he issued an order directly.  He calculated shrewdly. Zhao Dahu had been running away for a while. Zhu Yuanhao went out of the city to chase him, but nine times out of ten he would not be able to catch up.  Even if he catches up, Zhu Yuanhao's dozens of men cannot stop the murderer.  No matter what, as long as Zhu Yuanhao receives the order, the responsibility for Zhao Dahu's escape can be shifted to him.  Zhu Yuanhao felt very contemptuous when he heard that Zhao Dahu broke through the obstacles and escaped.  This Wu Lianshan is really a waste. There are so many sergeants around him but not even a thief is left behind.  However, he didn't think much about Wu Lianshan's order. He just cupped his fists and said, "Yes, I will obey the order." Then, Zhu Yuanhao led his sergeants and left in a hurry.  Tonight, the sky is full of stars, so it is not difficult to track the targets of nearly a hundred people.  Not long after, Zhu Yuanhao and the others heard the sound of running from ahead.  "Hurry up and chase, the thief Zhao Dahu is in front, don't let him escape"
