In the west of Mi County, Su Laohu led more than a hundred Mongolian cavalry to pursue Li Jiyu and other thieves. Mo Rigen also pursued Ji Zhiying and other horse thieves from the left side as they ran out of the city.
Sometimes they charged forward and fired wildly, sometimes they took a long way around. They still tried their best to avoid close combat with the bandits, but kept a close eye on the fleeing horse thieves.
After the two teams of horse thieves, Li Jiyu and Ji Zhiying, met, they fled all the way to the west, then turned north, but they could not get rid of the Ming army cavalry who were chasing behind them. The two of them stopped and walked, and met some other places along the way. There are scurrying thieves and hungry people.
He was chased all the way and fled all the way, but there was nothing he could do against the howling Ming army cavalry. If you hit him, he would run away. If you ran away, he would chase him. He could not shoot at them.
Li Ji Yukong was very capable, but he had no choice but to personally lead the armored horse thieves to guard the perimeter, resisting the incoming arrows and trying his best to reduce the casualties on his side.
Ji Zhiying rode up to Li Jiyu and said loudly: "Brother, this is not possible. If we continue running, we will all be shot to death by these ball officers and soldiers!"
Li Jiyu rode his horse and looked around, feeling very helpless. He said, "I don't care about that much anymore. Let's go north to Tashan. If you don't believe it, I can't get rid of this dog-skin plaster!"
"Brother, do you want all the women and grain in our camp?" Ji Zhiying looked reluctant.
Li Jiyu turned to look at the officers and cavalry in the distance, and said bitterly: "If you want nothing, you can save your life, but women don't have to be good!"
"Hurry, if you want to live, run faster..."
Li Jiyu shouted loudly, and then said: "Everyone run north. Once you enter Tashan Mountain, you won't be afraid of the army!"

"Damn, the county magistrate actually abandoned the city and ran away. What a coward!" Wang Tieren rode his horse to Zhang Cheng's side, got off his horse and said loudly.
Zhang Cheng turned around, glanced at him, and asked, "How is the situation in the city?"
"The county magistrate has escaped. Now the bandits in the city have almost been wiped out. Now the general's Qingqi are cooperating with Hu Dayou's troops to wipe out the remaining thieves. The county government and various treasuries have been sent to guard." Wang Tieren reported.
Zhang Cheng thought for a while and then said: "Guangda, lead the heavy cavalry and Hu Dayou's troops to stay in Mi County. Take the silver from the bandits' camp and the money from the official treasury, and distribute the grain to the people in the city. I hope they will Let’s use this to survive this winter.”
Zhang Guangda had some resentment in his heart, but he did not dare to show it in front of Zhang Cheng. He just replied in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order."
"what?"
Zhang Cheng turned around and looked at Zhang Guangda with a smile on his face and said, "The beating is not enough!"
It turned out that Zhang Guangda originally wanted to show off his power with his cavalry, but he never imagined that he would scare away Li Jiyu as soon as he appeared on the scene. Only some thieves who were unable to escape were attacked and chopped by him, and they knelt down to beg for mercy.
In this battle, he felt that he was not enjoying himself enough, and he felt quite resentful in his heart.
Zhang Guangda's big face was originally flushed, but now it was slightly dark red under the cold wind. He said with a hint of hatred: "Mother, you didn't even fight, you just know how to run, slipping like a loach." Similar."
"Look at your pig-kidney face, it looks like someone owes you twenty thousand."
Zhang Cheng laughed and scolded Zhang Guangda, and then said: "The heavy cavalry is not good at pursuing, and the charge just now has exhausted the horse power. You stay in Mi County for the time being, take charge of the overall situation on my behalf, and wait for military orders."
Gu Ta did not wait for Zhang Guangda to speak, he stood up and ordered: "Wang Tieren, go quickly to gather the Qingqi. In a quarter of an hour, we will attack with my commander."
Wang Tieren responded loudly and left.
Lin Fangping rode his horse over there. When he got close to Zhang Cheng, he threw a man off his horse and cursed angrily: "This guy can really run away. Fortunately, brother Dayou came up to intercept him, and he destroyed two brothers." Hold him."
Zhang Cheng took a quick look and saw a strong man lying on the ground. The armor on his body was in pieces and very uneven. Red liquid was pouring out from many places. He was rolling on the ground and seemed to be trying to get up. look.
Lin Fangping also turned over and dismounted. When he got up, he kicked him on the waist. The pain made you thief scream. Lin Fangping walked to Zhang Cheng and said again: "Commander, I have tried several old thieves and hungry people." , this guy is one of the leaders of the Dengfeng thieves, his name is Yu Dazhong, he is quite ferocious and brutal."
"Then he is left to waste grain."
Zhang Cheng said lightly, then turned around and said: "Quanta, leave it to you. Later, in front of the bandits, the hungry people, and the common people, I will kill him together with the old bandits."
Zhang Guangda seemed to want to say something, but Zhang Cheng also saw that he was hesitant to speak and said with a smile: "Quangda, although these thieves are fierce and good at fighting, they have no loyalty in their hearts and only know how to enjoy themselves.
And our army goes out to fight. When we win, they will loot and ruin our army's reputation. When we lose, they will be the first to flee, affecting thousands of troops. What's the use of keeping such garbage! "
Zhang Guangda also nodded when he heard this and stopped talking.
At this moment, Zhang Chengfang galloped over on horseback. He shouted wildly on horseback: "Father, Commander Li, Li Jiyu is fleeing into the mountains to the north. Su Laohu and Mo Rigen are staring at those thieves. Please tell me, Father!" Marshal goes to encircle and annihilate them."
Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Come down and take a breather. Don't be in a hurry. With Su Laohu and the others watching, he can't escape Li Jiyu!"
…………
Ten miles northwest of Mi County is Dazhou Mountain. There is an eight-level hexagonal attic-style ancient pagoda built on the mountain, which is more than five feet high. It is vigorous, majestic and majestic.
According to the "History of the Song Dynasty": Empress Cao of Renzong of the Song Dynasty was the granddaughter of Cao Bin, the privy envoy of King Wu Hui. She was admitted to the palace in the second year of Mingdao. The road is long and travel is inconvenient. Living in a deep palace for a long time misses my hometown and relatives, and I feel lonely and claustrophobic.
In order to relieve the Queen's worries, Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty ordered the world's skilled craftsmen to build a pagoda on the top of Dazhou Mountain with sheep carrying bricks in the Queen's hometown. The brick pagoda was finally completed, and its momentum exceeded the sky. It was more than a thousand feet from the root of the mountain to the top of the pagoda, so it was called "Thousands of Feet". "Chi Pagoda", because it was built specifically for Queen Cao, it was also called Queen Cao Pagoda. The original Dazhou Mountain was also changed to Tashan.
Under the thousand-foot pagoda is an ancient village of nearly a thousand square meters. Its wall is made of bluestone. There is only a village gate on the east side, with a plaque engraved with the three characters "Tiefo Village"!
About two hundred steps outside the ancient village, Zhang Cheng stood there and looked at the ancient village.
Su Laohu said angrily from the side: "It's so slippery, this thief knows how to burrow into the mountains."
Li Jiyu was also cunning. After running for a while, he found that Su Laohu, Mo Rigen and others were unwilling to engage in a close combat with him, so he organized the horse thieves to cover the foot thieves, and turned around to block them every time they ran out.
Although this would inevitably lead to casualties, it was much better than running away all the time and completely selling your back to the enemy. He fled up Tashan Mountain while fighting, and actually hid in this ancient village for a while.
Zhang Cheng disagreed. He took out a box of Yunzhou brand cigarettes, took one in his mouth, and threw the cigarette box to Su Laohu. Su Laohu chuckled and handed the cigarette box to Lin Fangping, but he took out a cigarette from his arms. He picked up Beizhaguan cigarettes and said with a smile, "I enjoy smoking this!"
