    "You still dare to chase me?" Just after running four or five miles, Zhao Dahu suddenly heard shouts from behind him. He immediately turned around and saw many fires flashing in the darkness in the distance.  "Brother, please leave quickly, I'll wait for you." A soldier stopped and said.  This general's name is Xu Lang. He was Zhao Dahu's subordinate when he was a bandit. He is extremely loyal, so he promoted him as the leader of his own soldiers.  Xu Lang did not let himself down and stood up at the critical moment.  In the melee just now, the big horse under Zhao Dahu was shot to death by random arrows. Now he can only run on foot like other soldiers.  If this continues, sooner or later the officers and soldiers will catch up due to exhaustion.  "Okay," he hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreed, and slapped the opponent hard on the shoulder: "Kill the pursuers back, don't be reluctant to fight, follow them immediately." "Yes, come with me if you are not afraid of death," Xu Lang held a hand in his hand  Spear, pointed at the sergeant next to him.  As soon as the words fell, twenty or thirty people stood up in response.  As for the other sergeants, when they came into contact with Xu Lang's eyes, they subconsciously turned their heads away.  Just now he escaped from the siege of officers and soldiers with a narrow escape, and now reason has taken over the brain again, and no one is willing to continue to die.  After detaching twenty or thirty men to stop him, Zhao Dahu led the remaining sergeants to leave the official road, turned into a dirt road, and ran quickly towards the darkness with one foot deep and one foot shallow.  "Quick, hide in the ditch on the roadside," Xu Lang, who was behind the scenes, was not a brainless person. After sending Zhao Dahu away, he looked around a few times and pointed to a depression.  After receiving the order, twenty or thirty people gathered in the ditch.  This area is several feet in diameter, with lush wormwood and is more than half a person deep, so it is not difficult to hide twenty or thirty people.  After his men were hidden, Xu Lang took out the bow and arrow from his waist and aimed at the end of the road.  The officers and soldiers were already very close. Through the light of torches in the distance, he could see hundreds of shadowy figures rushing towards them.  Thirty feet, twenty feet Xu Lang began to draw his bow and aim at the black-faced man in the front. Judging from his clothes, he was obviously the leader of this group of people.  As long as this person is shot and killed, the officers and soldiers will be leaderless and will certainly not dare to pursue him any further.  His archery skills are good. If he shoots from a distance of twenty feet in the daytime, he will hit nine times out of ten.  It's just that in the dark night, the vision is greatly affected.  Feeling unsure, Xu Lang did not release the arrow immediately, intending to wait until the opponent got a few feet closer.  Unexpectedly, the big man suddenly raised his arms without warning, and the officers and soldiers behind him immediately stopped.  "Zhu Yingzheng, what's wrong?" someone asked.  Zhu Yuanhao looked intently into the distance. The night ahead was dim and there was no movement, but he felt that there was some danger approaching.  Not far away, there seemed to be a beast hiding.  "Have you been discovered?" Seeing the other party's actions, Xu Lang immediately stopped hesitating, loosened his fingers, and the sharp arrow penetrated the darkness and shot towards the sergeant leader.  "Be careful" Hearing the sound of the bowstring, Zhu Yuanhao's expression changed drastically and he suddenly pulled the sergeant standing next to him.  "Pfft", the feather arrow was shot three feet away from him, and the arrow shaft was still vibrating, frightening the soldier's heart to beat.  If Ying Zheng had been slower just now, he would have been the target of the arrow.  "There is an ambush, everyone, be careful." At this moment, Zhu Yuanhao had already reacted and hurriedly squatted down and said to the sergeant behind him: "Get the oilcloth and shoot the arrow." "Yes" Many people in the team immediately took off their bows and arrows and wrapped the oilcloth around the arrows.  , then lit it against the torch, and shot towards the withered grass in the distance.  Seeing the rocket heading towards the hiding place, Xu Lang jumped up and shouted: "Quick, get out quickly." Before the sound hit the ground, the rocket had already penetrated into the wormwood.  After the wormwood has withered in the autumn and been exposed to the sun for such a long time, it is easy to ignite. Now when it encounters a piece of cloth dipped in kerosene, it burst into flames in an instant.  Almost in the blink of an eye, a strong fire shot into the sky, and the sergeant in the smoke screamed and jumped in the fire.  Many people were blinded by the smoke, panicked and jumped into the ditch not far away.  By the light of the fire, he saw that the attackers were no more than twenty or thirty people. Zhu Yuanhao immediately said to his men: "Kill". Then he rushed out at the lead. From a distance of twenty feet, in just a few breaths, the two sides were already in close combat.  Zhu Yuanhao directly faced Xu Lang, and the remaining sergeants also found their targets.  It should be said that Xu Lang's force value is quite strong, but against Zhu Yuanhao, he was a little weak.  After only a few rounds, Zhu Yuanhao chopped off his arm with a knife.  Xu Lang endured the severe pain and rolled over. Just as he was about to stand up from the ground, the big knife was already placed across his neck.  "You're not Zhao Dahu, tell me quickly, where did he escape to?" Zhu Yuanhao said coldly.  Although he didn't know Zhao Dahu, he had heard of his evil reputation.  The thieves in front of us were too weak, and they were definitely not Zhao Dahu.  "Bah, the general has already gone far, you can't catch up. I won't tell you, if you have the ability, kill me," Xu Lang spat.  "Stubborn," Zhu Yuanhao had no intention of letting the other party survive. He raised the knife and dropped it.Lives have ended.  The officers and soldiers had an advantage in terms of numbers. In a moment, all the rebel thieves in the field had been killed, and only a few prisoners were left kneeling on the ground and trembling.  ¡°Tell me quickly, in which direction Zhao Dahu escaped, tell me and I will spare your life.¡± Zhu Yuanhao walked up to a prisoner with a bloody sword and asked.  This man was not as tough as Xu Lang. Under the pressure of Zhu Yuanhao's murderous intent, he couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, the general fled towards that direction." These prisoners were all small figures, and Zhu Yuanhao didn't take them at all.  The plan is to take credit for each head.  After knowing where Zhao Dahu was going, he left several people behind.  Through the firelight, they could clearly see the messy traces of being trampled on the path next to them, so everyone rushed to catch up.  Knowing that there were pursuers behind him, Zhao Dahu did not dare to stop and rest when he was running for his life, but ran all the way.  Unknowingly, it was already slightly bright in the east. When they heard the sound of running water in front of them, the faces of the thieves changed.  In a hurry, they didn't choose their way and even ran to the Dushui River.  The river was hundreds of feet wide, and there were no boats nearby. Even though they had some water skills, they could not escape through the water.  "Haha, God helped me, these thieves actually escaped to their death." When he saw the wide river in front of him, Zhu Yuanhao shouted excitedly, "Sirs, surround them, don't let any of them go." "  Kill, kill these officers and soldiers." Behind him was the roaring water, and Zhao Dahu knew he had nowhere to escape.  In this case, the fierce evil spirit suppressed in his heart filled the air again.  Being stimulated, the thieves behind him subconsciously clenched their swords.  For a time, the fate of the entire army was reunited, but it was reduced several times compared to before.  On the other hand, the officers and soldiers not only had an advantage in numbers, but also the situation was favorable to their own side, so their luck became stronger, rolling and almost reaching the sky.  The fighting was extremely fierce from the beginning. Zhu Yuanhao faced Zhao Dahu, while the remaining officers and soldiers tightly surrounded the last forty or fifty thieves.  Choking The two long knives collided one after another, making a harsh roar and causing sparks to appear.  Zhao Dahu fought with his back to the wall, putting his life and death at risk.  The long knife was swung out, and the moves were extremely cruel, completely risking one's life.  Zhu Yuanhao took his time and gestures most of the time.  He knew his advantage. As long as he trapped this person and his men killed all the thieves, he would be able to capture Zhao Dahu.  Zhao Dahu obviously also understood the situation he was in. He saw his men being killed by officers and soldiers at a glance, and became more and more crazy, like a trapped beast, roaring unwillingly. But as soon as he glanced, his movements slowed down a little, and he happened to step on a body.  on the corpse.  Zhao Dahu staggered and hurriedly stood up.  "Death to me" Seeing the opponent's flaw, Zhu Yuanhao hurriedly slashed with his sword, splitting the opponent's body in half.  "General" The thieves who were paying attention to the battle situation here screamed when they saw Zhao Dahu being killed.  "Zhao Dahu is dead, you still won't surrender," Zhu Yuanhao stepped forward quickly, cut off the opponent's head, and held it in his hand, shouting.  I have to say, this action is very intimidating.  Seeing this, the remaining bandits dropped their weapons and begged for mercy.  It was now bright and clear, and after a night of fighting, the remaining rebel soldiers in the county had long been killed.  The fire in the county government office has also been put out, and both the inside and outside of the courtyard are occupied by officers and soldiers. At this moment, in the lobby, Commander-in-Chief Liu Hong is sitting at the top.  There was another person kneeling in the hall, it was Wu Lianshan, the guard general who let Zhao Dahu go last night.  Liu Hong stared at Wu Lianshan and said angrily: "General Wu Wei, do you have anything to say? Yesterday, the Japanese commander repeatedly ordered that the leader of the thieves must not be allowed to escape. In the end, it was good for you. Hundreds of people under your command held the city gate.  , but let Zhao Dahu run away. How do you think Ben Dushuai should punish you? " "Dushuai, I don't blame the general for this. Last night, the general led his troops to break through the west gate, and then led his troops towards the county government to kill the thieves.  , didn't know what happened at the city gate. Moreover, when he was about to leave, he met Zhu Yingzheng and ordered him to guard the city gate tightly and not let any thieves escape. "Wu Lianshan raised his head and spoke nonsense.  "Nonsense, you think the commander is blind. Zhu Yingzheng took the lead in attacking the city last night. It was he who led the people to break through the city gate first. And Zhu Ying was at the south gate, how could he run to the west gate?" For Zhu Yuanhao, this  Liu Hong also had some impression of this person and loved him for his bravery.  At this moment, when he heard that Wu Lianshan was shirking responsibility, he couldn't help but said angrily.  "Commander, what the general said is true. The younger one did give orders to Zhu Yingzheng. If the commander doesn't believe it, he can call Zhu Yingzheng for questioning." Wu Lianshan said plausibly.  When he did this, he naturally ordered his subordinates to investigate beforehand. Zhu Yuanhao went out of the city last night to pursue Zhao Dahu and did not return all night. It was obviously a disaster.  In this case, you can put all the responsibilities on the other party. Anyway, this person is dead and there is no more evidence.  "Where's Zhu Yuanhao? Let him come to see me immediately." Liu Hong turned to the soldiers and ordered.  "Yes" the soldier responded and went out.  After a while, we returned to the road again."Commander, Zhu Yingzheng went out of the city to pursue the enemy last night and did not return all night." Wu Lianshan refused to let Zhao Dahu go. The other party has not come back yet. Liu Hong had to wave to him to get up: "Get up and wait for Zhu Dahu."  When the battalion returns, you two will confront each other again. " "I will obey my order." Wu Lianshan felt much more relaxed when he stood up, knowing that this serious crime was over.  But before he could return to his seat, another soldier suddenly entered the palace and said excitedly: "Commander, Zhu Yingzheng has returned from killing the thief, and he also brought back the head of the thief Zhao Dahu. "What, where is he?  "Liu Hong stood up from his seat in excitement. As for the several generals below him, their faces were also filled with surprise. "Waiting outside the county government office" "Hurry up and order him to come see me," Liu Hong said urgently  He ordered and stared at Wu Lianshan after speaking.
