"Da da da!"
There was a sound of galloping horses, and it seemed that a large group of cavalry was arriving.
Han Shizhong looked up and saw that the sound was coming from the north. The sound was very neat and he should be well-trained officers and soldiers.
Not long after, a Yang-character banner appeared on the road, accompanied by three thousand soldiers and horses.
"I am Yang Weizhong, the commander of the right army. Which part of you do you belong to?"
Yang Weizhong looked at the former army in front of him. The uniforms and armor were those of the official army, but they were not from their right army.
"Han Shizhong, deputy lieutenant of Jinyi under Liu Yanqing, the commander of the Zuo Route Army, the last general, pays homage to Commander Yang!"
Han Shizhong cupped his fists and saluted Yang Weizhong.
"It turned out to be Deputy Lieutenant Han. All the thieves along the way were killed by Deputy Lieutenant Han?"
Yang Weizhong was not as snobbish as Xin Xingzong, and he did not despise Han Shizhong because he was in a low position.
"The last general has just arrived. Zheng Biao and Bao Daoyi are not the last generals to kill."
Han Shizhong had no intention of taking the credit. If he couldn't kill Zheng Biao and Bao Daoyi, he wouldn't pretend to claim it.
"Zheng Biao! Bao Daoyi!"
Yang Weizhong then looked at the two corpses on the ground and was instantly overjoyed. He came after Zheng Biao to kill them.
"If it wasn't Deputy Lieutenant Han who killed him, then who could kill him?"
Yang Weizhong looked at Han Shizhong and asked.
"The general doesn't know that the general was cutting off the enemy's food and grass between Chongde and Hangzhou, and found a lot of defeated troops, so he led his troops to take a look, and found the bodies of Zheng Biao and Bao Daoyi."
Han Shizhong explained.
"This... is really weird!"
Yang Weizhong frowned as he looked at the two corpses.
"Together, there should be two murderers. One uses a gun and the other uses a double sword. Both of them are masters!"
Han Shizhong pointed to the two corpses and said.
Zheng Biao was stabbed through the throat with a clean shot.
Bao Dao B first had one arm cut off, and then was cut into three pieces with two swords.
"I have been chasing from the Guangde Army all the way. Seven or eight groups of thieves have been killed on the way. There are only corpses and no murderers!"
Yang Weizhong looked at Han Shizhong.
"What? How is this possible!"
Han Shizhong's face was full of surprise. It would be fine if only one or two groups of defeated troops were killed, but seven or eight groups would be wrong. Yang Weizhong didn't even know who it was, so it was definitely not done by the right army.
“The thieves’ heads are all there, so it shouldn’t have been done by the officers and soldiers!”
Yang Weizhong looked at Han Shizhong and saw that all the Mingjiao people were wanted, especially the thieves' leaders. Their heads could be exchanged for military honors. If the crime was committed by officers and soldiers, their heads would never be left behind.
"Not an officer? Who could that be?"
Han Shizhong couldn't understand that except for their officers and soldiers, everyone in Jiangnan was now a thieves.
"Thieves killing each other?"
Han Shizhong had an idea, but he immediately gave it up. No matter how civil strife broke out among the Ming Cult thieves, it was impossible for so many people to die. The only one who could kill Zheng Biao and Bao Daoyi was Fang La.
"Looking at the body, it has only been dead for more than two hours!"
Yang Weizhong looked around, but he couldn't find any trace. Even if he felt strange, he couldn't find anything.
Han Shizhong also searched around. He had more doubts in his mind. Even thinking about Xiuzhou's weirdness, the hand seemed to be all over Jiangnan and right beside him, but he found nothing.
Han Shizhong searched for a long time but found nothing unusual, so he finally gave up.
"This group of people was very careful, and all traces were erased!"
Han Shizhong came to the conclusion.
"Lieutenant Han, I have received news that Suzhou has been defeated. General Liu is really clearing out the remaining enemies. He will go south to attack Hangzhou in the near future. The Seven Buddhas outside Xiuzhou City have also retreated with their remaining troops. Our army will go west to attack Shezhou. , I wonder if Deputy Lieutenant Han would be willing to go together?"
Yang Weizhong did not dwell on this anymore. Their mission was to wipe out Fang La. Tong Guan had already sent the left army to attack Hangzhou, the right army to attack Shezhou, and then they all attacked Muzhou.
"Thank you for your kindness, General. I'd better go to Hangzhou!"
Han Shizhong shook his head. After all, he belonged to the Left Army and it was not easy for him to join the Right Army.
"That's fine! Now that Zheng Biao is dead, it's time for our army to go back."
Yang Weizhong didn't force him. He just felt that Han Shizhong was brave enough to pursue alone, so he asked once.
Han Shizhong bid farewell to Yang Weizhong with clasped fists and got on his horse.
"Lieutenant, where are we going?"
A group of officers looked at Han Shizhong and asked. Suzhou was broken and Fang Qifu retreated. It seemed that they could only go back.
"Let's go to Hangzhou!"
Han Shizhong shook his head and said, if he goes back to Xiuzhou now, Xin Xingzong will definitely deprive him of his military power. With Xin Xingzong's snobbish character, he will not be reused. In this case, it is better to go it alone.
Having made his decision, Han Shizhong led his troops directly to Hangzhou.
Hangzhou.
News of successive defeats came back, including Suzhou's defeat and Zheng Biao's defeat. In an instant, Mingjiao realized the gap in strength.
Fang La looked at the officials in front of him with a livid face. No one spoke. Everyone knew that Fang La was angry and no one tried to touch the bad luck.
"You're all talking, what should we do now?"
Fang La shouted angrily that the enemy was about to attack Hangzhou City. If we could not hold on here, the whole Jiangnan would be lost.
"Your Majesty, the current plan is to strengthen the walls and clear the country, and the officers and soldiers will be exhausted!"
Right Prime Minister Zu Shiyuan said.
"Strong walls and clear fields?"
Fang La frowned, he didn't understand the word.
"Your Majesty, we can still hold on to this line of defense in Hangzhou, Yuhang, Lin'an, Yuqian, and Changhua. As long as we clear out hundreds of miles of the north, the officers and soldiers will not be able to get the labor of the people, and they will not be able to do anything to us for a while! In three more days Months are coming, summer is coming, the temperature is hot, how can these northern officers and soldiers stand it!"
Zu Shiyuan continued, this time the imperial court sent all northern soldiers. In summer, these people are not accustomed to the climate, and it will be time for them to fight back.
"I'm afraid it's too late to strengthen the wall and clear the country now! The enemy is already approaching the city. If we go out now, we might be ambushed."
The minister, Gao Yu, said, "Jianbi Qingye was before the enemy came. Now that the enemy has arrived, it is too late to Jianbi Qingye."
"Report! Your Majesty, Taiwei Zheng and Master Bao Tian were killed by the enemy!"
A soldier ran into the hall to report.
Fang La stood up directly. Zheng Biao was defeated. Bao Daoyi was worried about his apprentice and went out of the city to meet him. Why did he die? Bao Dao Yi is good at magic and has strong martial arts skills.
"Sure?"
Fang La asked angrily.
"The heads are being picked up in the army formation!"
The soldier said fearfully.
"how come?"
Fang La sat down dejectedly. There was all bad news in the past few days. I don’t know how many people died in Suzhou, and no one has escaped back. Now Zheng Biao and Bao Daoyi are dead again. He has lost too much in this battle. Big.
"Your Majesty, an army appears outside the city and is constantly attacking the outposts outside the city!"
Another soldier ran in to report.
"Officers and soldiers? So fast? How many people are there?"
A stern expression flashed across Fang La's face.
"One thousand people, but the enemy only attacked the scouts and sentry posts, and did not get close to Hangzhou City!"
The soldier said.
"Go out of the city and kill these officers and soldiers!"
Fang La roared at everyone.
