Chapter Thirty-seven: One cone breaks the city

The severe winter has not yet entered, and the harsh climate of severe winter has already begun. The water and frost fell down, and the thick fog covered the place. Within one or two feet, almost no one could be seen.

cold.

On the top of Shouzhou City, the bandits patrolled on their own. But all of them were shrinking, holding spears in their arms, and their hands wanted to shrink into the cow's chest.

No matter the bandit leader or the bandit soldiers, everyone was listless and complained again and again.

At this time, even being able to nest in a pile of straw is a beautiful thing. Unfortunately not.

Lao Huihui Ma Shouying was originally a soldier, but later became a rebel. After all, he had experience as a soldier. Although he is just an ordinary soldier, he does not have the ability to train elite soldiers, but he can still make some basic arrangements.

For example, patrols have stricter requirements.

After all, Fengyang is nearby. If we don't be careful, who knows when Huang Degong will come?

Rogue thieves are vicious and will kill people if they disagree or feel unhappy. Therefore, the thieves at the bottom were extremely afraid and did not dare to neglect.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of the thieves patrolling the city.

An experienced thief leader listened carefully and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just a hundred horses, maybe someone sent by some king."

No wonder he thinks so.

Because the Ming army didn't have the courage to go wild in Shouzhou with only a hundred cavalry. Here in Shouzhou, there have been conflicts with Huang Degong and Wang Xian in recent years, but never once did a hundred cavalry dare to come down to the city.

In the minds of the thieves, they could only be soldiers and horses under the command of several other kings.

Calculating the time, it is only three to five days before the handover of guarding Shouzhou. Therefore, it was just right and not surprising that one of the other four kings sent someone.

The sound of hoofbeats gradually grew louder, and the bandits and soldiers on the top of the city all looked around.

It seemed that the hundred cavalry were within seven or eight feet of the city, and someone noticed something was wrong!

Although the fog is so thick that it is impossible to see faces within seven or eight feet, you can tell something about the color!

red!

A flash of red!

"Which old battalion under the king's command has red soldiers?"

The patrol thief couldn't help but ask.

"No, right?" A soldier said, "The officers and soldiers are the red ones."

Immediately, the thief's face changed drastically: "No, it's the army! Sound the alarm! Someone, go to the palace to report that the army is attacking!"

He shouted again and again: "Archer, where are the archers? Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!"

The city was in chaos.

When the rebels fight, there is basically no structure except for the old camp. He is best at fighting against the wind, but once he falls into a disadvantageous situation, he will collapse quickly. Even the old camp of rogue thieves is actually like this.

We can't fight a tough battle.

Because those gangsters are used to being slippery.

In fact, they are exactly the same as the corrupt officials and soldiers, there is not much difference.

Seeing a group of Ming cavalry in red helmets and red robes arriving at the city gate, these bandits panicked and couldn't help but be in chaos. Those thieves were drinking and drinking, and even themselves were confused.

There is no real military literacy at all.

If there were old thieves from the old camp at the top of the city at this time, they would be fierce and capable of fighting back. But how could the people patrolling the city be old thieves? They are all the most common thieves.

A few arrows flew down sparsely, and without blocking, no one was hurt.

Zhao Yu rode his horse, rolled up waves of mist, turned into a tornado, and arrived at the city gate in just a few breaths!

The iron cone was raised high, and with a bang, the air exploded, and the surrounding fog was instantly expelled. There was only a loud bang, and the city was shaken. The thieves could hardly stand, and the city gate was shattered into pieces!

"Fight in!"

With a loud shout, the dark clouds stepped on the snow under his crotch, and while Xi Lu Lu screamed, he jumped into Shouzhou.

The cry of killing suddenly started.

...

"What?!"

Huang Degong's face was as black as coal: "Empty?!"

"Where have you gone?!"

"No...I don't know."

"I don't know?" Huang Degong was furious, cut off the soldier's head with his sword, and shouted sternly: "Come here!"

Soldiers came in tremblingly and knelt down quickly.

"Go and check for me. Before noon, I must know where that damn Liaodong barbarian is! If you can't find it, don't come back!"

After swatting away the soldiers, Huang Degong took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu, you have insulted me too much. If I don't kill you, how can I show my face to others!"

But at this time, Huang Degong didn't know that Zhao Yu had already defeated Shouzhou, which was a hundred miles away.

Zhao Yu's tactical arrangements were not subtle or surprising. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to capture Shouzhou City. The great thing about Zhao Yu is that he is sure that he can break through the city gate!

Once the city gate is broken, the thieves in the city will naturally be in chaos. Coupled with Zhao Yu's ferocity, no one can stop him and crush him wherever he goes. Even if Ma Shouying organized his three thousand old battalion to intercept, it would just be a meat bun beating a dog, and there would be no return.

Don't talk about just three thousand old thieves. When Zhao Yu was in Liaodong, tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry couldn't stop him! One person and one cone, Huang Taiji chased him with no way to the sky and no door to the earth.

How qualified is Ma Shouying to be compared with the Tatars?

Three thousand old thieves huddled together on the streets of the city, just in time for Zhao Yu to perform his attack.

One cone went down, including people and horses, dozens of people settled the account. Pushing all the way, the killing generals passed by. Zhao Yu killed half of the three thousand old thieves with only half a stick of incense, and the rest dispersed in a rush.

Crush a bloody path end-to-end!

The only thing that frightened the thief was that his face was pale, and he only thought that the devil had come into the world, and he was frightened and frightened. There were tens of thousands of thieves in Shouzhou City, and they were all screaming in agony.

Everyone is like a headless fly, wishing to grow wings, you squeeze me to retreat, and even attack each other to escape. More people died in the hands of their own people than in the hands of Zhao Yu!

Ma Shouying was horrified. Seeing Zhao Yu being so ferocious, he gasped and remembered the rumors from Liaodong.

"It's the Liaodong war god who defeated the Tatars, Zhao Yu!"

I once heard of a man who single-handedly defeated an army of tens of thousands of Tatars and devoured the Tatar high-ranking officials. Ma Shouying only took it as a joke.

But now that I have witnessed it with my own eyes, how shocking is it? !

"escape!"

Ma Shouying reacted, the first thought that came to his mind.

But how could Zhao Yu let him escape?

From afar, he could see that this man was wearing armor and was surrounded by old thieves. He was clearly the leader of the thieves. Such a rogue bandit, as long as the head of the bandit is still there, can raise another rogue bandit in three to five months, it is absolutely impossible to keep him!

So he said to the left and right Jingqi: "Old Zhang, you lead the people to destroy the old thieves in the city. You must not escape even one of them, and the rest will disarm and surrender. I will chase the horse and keep guard. This bandit leader cannot be spared today!"

Commander Zhang accepted the order with a fanatical look on his face: "General, don't worry!"

"good!"

Zhao Yu laughed loudly, reined up his horse and whipped his horse, one person at a time, the iron cone shook, and he rushed towards the horse and kept walking away.

"Old thief, where are you going!"

When Ma Shouying heard the sound, he was almost scared out of his wits. He danced his whip wildly: "Jiajia... hurry up and stop that devil! Stop him!"

But where would anyone listen to him? !

He was just a bandit leader, and because of his violence and ruthlessness, he was able to gather a group of thieves. Huang Taiji could order his elite cavalry to stop Zhao Yu at all costs, so who was Ma Shouying?

Zhao Yu is really cruel, these old thieves are all pale and frightened, their own lives are in danger, who will care about Ma Shouying?

When the old thieves saw Zhao Yu chasing after him, they immediately dispersed, leaving Ma Shouying in the air.

Zhao Yu laughed loudly: "A thief is a thief. He doesn't know etiquette, justice, loyalty and filial piety. He is a complete beast. Ma Shouying, why don't you just catch him without restraint!"

Ma Shouying was so frightened that he almost spewed out bile, but he spared his life anyway. He just stuck a dagger into the horse's butt and ran away towards the west gate.

Zhao Yu chased closely, but he was not in a hurry. He killed all the thieves along the way.

Just in time to catch up to the west gate.

There was chaos at the west gate early and the city gate was wide open. Ma Shouying rode his horse and ran out of the city gate. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his face turned ashen.

I saw only three thousand Ming troops waiting outside the city gate, and the city gate was surrounded by water. If a bandit rushes out, he will be greeted by a hail of arrows and guns.

Outside the city gate, there are hundreds and thousands of corpses of thieves.

Ma Shouying was desperate.

He looked at the Ming army's waiting formation, then turned back with difficulty, and saw Zhao Yu riding a horse, approaching. He couldn't help but swayed and almost fell off the horse.

But he slowly dismounted and crawled on the spot.

The leader of thieves is not only violent, but also cunning.

For example, the traitor Zhang Xianzhong was once surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army. When the situation was exhausted, he simply surrendered. Then when the opportunity comes, he rises up again and spreads his poison for thousands of miles.

Ma Shouying has reached a desperate situation. If he wants to survive in autumn, this is probably the only way he can go.

In his opinion, capturing him alive or surrendering him should be a greater achievement than killing him. This killing god from Liaodong will definitely be moved.

As expected, Zhao Yu did not kill him immediately.

He rode his horse forward, dismounted, and kicked Lao Huihui to the ground. Then he shouted to the army outside the city: "Split half of the army and enter the city to collect the Jiangliu thieves!"

Then he grabbed Lao Huihui, got on his horse, turned the horse's head, and entered the city to fight back.

By noon, the battle in Shouzhou was finally settled.

Right in the city, rogue thieves also have their own school grounds.

In the school grounds, there were more than 20,000 thieves, all kneeling and prostrate. The surrounding Ming army stood with bright swords and guns, watching eagerly.

Zhao Yu brought Lao Huihui back to the general stage and said, "You may have had no choice but to become thieves, but if you become a thieves and cause harm to thousands of miles, you must be punished!"

The guide said: "You will lead a thousand troops, sit in Shouzhou, and interrogate the thieves one by one. Depending on the guilt, they will be killed or beheaded."

The guide was actually trained by the prince. During the process of Zhao Yu's attack on the bandits, he not only played the role of informing intelligence and guiding the direction, but after the victory, he also stayed as a person to handle the follow-up matters.

The guide was also a scholar, and since he was trained by the prince, he naturally had some talents.

Hearing the sound, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, general, I have a plan."

Zhao Yu nodded: "It's good to have something in mind. Among these thieves, those with lighter crimes can be used for work. Now that the world is in chaos, the prince wants to turn things around, and there is a need for manpower and material resources."

Having said that, Zhao Yu didn't say much.

But he threw Ma Shouying at his feet and shouted: "Death!"

Ma Shouying was shocked. He thought he could escape with his life after being captured, but he never thought that Zhao Yu would kill him here!

Immediately apologize.

How could Zhao Yu listen to him?

He just picked up the iron awl and brought it down, beating Ma Shouying into a pulp. Half of the general standing platform made of stone was beaten to the point of collapse.

"The leader of thieves is poisonous, and it is not a pity to die! This is the end!"

There are thieves in the field and they are as silent as cicadas.
