Chapter 409
However, when Wu Xiang saw a load of heads placed in front of him, the excitement just now was much less.There is no other reason. If you want to say that he was really not good at fighting Jianlu before.But he was a businessman, and his eyes were very poisonous. Just by scanning those heads, he could tell that many of them were old and weak, and even many of them belonged to women.

Or seeing what he was thinking, a general next to him quickly explained: "My lord, that rogue was originally a rebellion by the arrogant people. These leaders seem to have problems, but they are indeed rogues."

"That's right, that's right, my lord's lesson!" The other generals followed suit, saying that this was [-]% the leader of a thief, and they would definitely not kill the good and pretend to be meritorious.

"..."

Wu Xiang would be so easily persuaded by them, but he also admitted that what these subordinates said made sense, even if the court wanted to investigate, they could still use these reasons to reply.

But he is also an ambitious person. Although he said that he was promoted to Marquis too soon, he actually wanted the Marquis very much in his heart.After thinking about it for a while, he asked his generals, "Why are there so few heads of thieves in middle age?"

"My lord, those young thieves are very cunning, they will run away at the slightest sign of trouble, and they run faster than these old and weak people, so they kill a little less." A general immediately explained.

"That's right, my lord, you don't know, as soon as those thieves saw the flag of our Datong cavalry, they immediately turned their horses and ran away. It's not easy to catch up!"

"..."

Wu Xiang heard that the combat power of the rogues was so weak. After looking at the heads again, she looked at the generals and said, "The imperial court must reward the heads of the rogues in their prime years. Weak head, how can I handle it?"

"My lord, don't worry, our army has been chasing and fighting the thieves, they can't escape there!"

"Yes, my lord, those thieves have nowhere to escape. After passing through Dai County, there are only two roads to the east and west. But there is the Baigan army in the east and the Yansui army in the west. They have nowhere to escape! "

"..."

While listening to their words, Wu Xiang thought about it, and suddenly made a decision: "In this case, our army must arrive at Dai County before the Baigan Army and Yansui Army, so even if the head is not enough, it is still a great achievement. "

"My lord is wise, let's keep chasing the rogues all the way to Dai County. There should be a rogue infantry there. We'll see whether they are faster with two feet or faster with four feet!"

"Yes, we have nearly [-] cavalry, more than enough to deal with the bandits. My lord, as long as you give an order, the last general will definitely take the lead, and I will show you seven in and seven out of the bandits!"

"..."

Wu Xiang was very satisfied with what she heard, the combat power of these thieves is really not enough to fit her teeth.He even thought that if the majesty of Zhao Zilong in Changshan in Changbanpo was repeated in the cavalry of Datong he led, and then let the literati polish it, would the emperor reward him for it?

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "I personally lead the cavalry troops to chase down the thieves and not give the thieves a chance to breathe until they relieve Dai County. mistaken!"

"As ordered!"

"As ordered!"

"..."

The general was very sure, and the morale of the army he led was high. He gave an order and responded loudly, and then the cavalry screamed and galloped away.

Along the way, it was indeed the same as before, the bandits fled when they heard the news, and often the bandits drove their horses and fled in a panic as soon as the cavalry appeared.Under the guidance of the "Wu" flag, the Datong cavalry passed by like a whirlwind, chasing after the bandits.

The cavalry among the rogues fled along the official road, and the infantry went to the mountains on both sides. Except for a few who couldn't escape and became ghosts under the knife, the other rogue infantry all fled into the forest in all directions. .

After chasing for an hour, Wu Xiang couldn't run any longer, so he led a thousand cavalry to rest, but selected another thousand or so cavalry who still had enough strength to continue chasing the fled in the field of vision. The back of the thief.They believed that the thieves could hardly run away.

While resting, Wu Xiang sighed to the generals beside him: "This officer is convinced, how can these thieves run away like this!"

"My lord, you said that if they don't run faster, they will be ghosts under the sword, can you not hurry up, right?"

"My lord, the last general has already noticed that they are already at the end of their battles. It is estimated that they will be able to catch up with most of the bandit cavalry before dark!"

"Yes, my lord, their horses have lost weight, and they are about to catch up!"

"..."

Wu Xiang was happy to hear that, but there was also a few more cautious generals who reminded: "My lord, those rogues have gone into the mountain. If they go back down the mountain and block our way back, then we will separate on foot and on horseback. Will it be less?"

As soon as Wu Xiang said this, before Wu Xiang had time to speak, the general retorted: "Those rogues still want to block the way? The general wished that he would come down to block the way. He only needs a charge from the cavalry to deal with them!"

"Yes, it's just these thieves, you think they are Jianlu! Give them ten guts and they won't dare to come down the mountain, believe it or not?"

"These thieves are actually disaster victims in the final analysis. At most, they can add some deserters from the frontier army. How many skills can they have?"

"..."

Without Wu Xiang's further words, the cautious general consciously took back his words, and then laughed.For those of them who were transferred from Guan Ning, it really wasn't too easy to beat these thieves.Everyone, from the lord to the soldier, is full of confidence.

Wu Xiang looked at the sky, gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice, "Let's all be chased by me. If you catch up with those thieves before nightfall, I will give you credit!"

"As ordered!"

"As ordered!"

"..."

In the evening, the cavalry led by Wu Xiang converged and finally caught up with the bandit cavalry.Or in other words, the bandit cavalry stopped running, and began to line up in front of the official road to fight.

As soon as the two sides stopped to look at each other, Wu Xiang realized that there were a lot of rogue troops on the opposite side. The cavalry alone was about three times as large as his own, and there were also many infantry troops who were also gathering. The number of troops was estimated to be around four to five thousand. .But the strength of his side is only [-] cavalry, and the difference in strength is a bit big.

"My lord, don't look at the number of thieves, wait until the end will rush in, and you will be able to kill them and defeat them in less than a stick of incense!"

"Yes, we have been chasing him for so long, and we just want to kill him at this time. My lord, look well, the last general will lead the army to charge him!"

"..."

The generals called for the battle one after another, which restored Wu Xiang's confidence a lot.After a while, a Datong cavalry army of more than [-] people left the formation and began to attack.

Wu Xiang saw that the infantry on the bandits' side hadn't finished preparing yet, and there was a cavalry army of about 2000 people, under several banners, which also left the formation to meet the battle.The difference in the number of people was a bit large, which made him nervous again.
