Zhai Mengzi is the leader of all the knights and bandits in Xinxiang City now. The reason why he can be the leader is of course not selected, but stands out from the repeated escapes and vendettas between them.

Because he hates more fiercely than others.

Don’t think that everyone who escaped from the Qingzhou army in the past will be friendly to each other. On the contrary, in order to compete for a limited little resource, the possibility of fighting when they meet is higher. Qingzhou is tired and has difficulty in survival. After escaping from the camp, survival has become the top priority. There are not many people in Qingzhou, and they are all taken to the county town by Lu Zheng. They either become residents of the garrison or the gang. Very few people are actually missing, but there are not at all. Robbing them becomes the first choice.

But there were more than 12,000 people who escaped from the camp, more than 5,000 of which were led by Cai Qiang to surrender to the court, and the rest were birds and beasts. Zhai Mengzi was the larger one, with more than 300 people.

Most of these cavalrymen who fled were from the Deng Hong era. They hated the court for killing Deng Hong and destroying Deng Hong's family, but they were unwilling to surrender to the Ming people because Deng Su and Deng Pu died at the hands of the Ming people. However, the general situation was so they could not resist. It was better to flee and leave and be free and free.

Except for Cai Qiang's troops who escaped in a planned and organized manner, the rest of them had their own thoughts and no leader, just like a pile of loose sand. When they escaped, they were infuriated and did not think much about anything else. After escaping, they realized that it was not easy to survive. These people had nothing but military wars, but now they could not do anything except robbery.

They fought for each other, killed them, and the big fish ate small fish, and the small fish ate shrimp, and they formed several large bandits. While fighting for each other, they had to deal with the Ming people's clearance. Finally, the only one left was Zhai Mengzi. The rest either became a ghost under the knife, or took off their military uniforms, threw away their weapons, and fled into the mountain.

On the land of Qingzhou, this is also the last large-scale cavalry bandit.

In Xinxiang City, there are more than a thousand people who have just returned from Qingzhou County. These people were originally from Xinxiang City. After the market was disbanded, these people received the severance bank and returned home to their hometowns to rebuild their homes. Whether it was Han Kun or Chen Zhihua, they naturally had to encourage them. In addition to some food and daily necessities they purchased themselves, the county government also sent a large amount of agricultural tools, livestock and other items.

Unfortunately, shortly after they returned home, they were poisoned again, and Zhai Mengzi's brigade of cavalry rushed into Xinxiang City.

Speaking of which, Jian Fang deliberately tried to squeeze their living space bit by bit. If these cyclists want to survive, there is only Xinxiang nearby with food. Except here, they cannot go anywhere else.

As the Hu Ben Camp, which is mainly infantry, it is impossible to chase a large number of cavalry and bandits on the huge territory. It is thankless to have a battlefield set in advance, then lure the cavalry and bandits to this territory, and then wipe them out in one go, and there is no problem.

The cavalry bandits had a fatal problem, that is, there was no food. Jian Fang blocked their other ways out, leaving only the Xinxiang gap. If the cavalry bandits could go there if they didn’t have a place, they could still go there?

Zhai Mengzi used to be just a small sentry officer, and it was certain that he was fierce in the war. However, in terms of strategic and tactical vision and the skill of setting traps, he was not an opponent of Jian Fang. Jian Fang effortlessly forced him to Xinxiang, and the rest was to annihilate him in one battle.

As for the people who are suffering in Xinxiang City, they are not considered by Jian Fang. These cavalry bandits are also your own people in Qingzhou County. If they die at the hands of these cavalry bandits, they will be unlucky. If they are not dead, the court and the county government will naturally come to help you, which is not within the scope of the army.

How much food can there be in a small town where more than a thousand people live? Zhai Mengzi rushed into the city and scraped the ground three feet away. The food he collected was not enough to last for many days. The scouts he sent out had discovered that a large number of Ming troops were attacking Xinxiang City.

He had to leave immediately. Zhai Mengzi knew the power of the Ming army that had always been following him like a maggot with bones. In this world, he had thought of too many ways to get rid of his opponent, but he could not do it. If he wanted to counterattack the opponent, he would often fall into the trap of the opponent. Now they have chased him again. If they trapped them in this Xinxiang City, they would not have to fight, and they would starve him to death sooner or later.

Now I am strong and strong, and the remaining food is enough for more than ten days of food. I want to catch up with the cavalry in the wilderness, but the other party is dreaming.

As for where he will go next, Zhai Mengzi didn't know. Anyway, the most urgent task is to get rid of the annoying Ming army behind him and escape, the sky will be wide open. If you have something to eat, you will eat it and if you have nothing to eat, you will go and grab it.

There is no way to go to Xintong in Danyang. It is about to become a battlefield for the two countries to fight. Wherever my troops arrive, I will not even be able to catch a shot. Qingzhou County City cannot go. There are now large groups of Ming people stationed there. In the direction of Kaiping County, there are also Ming troops stationed. However, the border between Kaiping County and Qingzhou County is long enough, or wherever I can go, I have no food or money, so I rushed into Kaiping County to grab a hand, and then returned to Qingzhou County. Now the Ming people are going to fight with the Qin court, and maybe I can't take care of themselves for a while.

As for the future, what should I do if I want to be so far away? I have to overcome the hurdle in front of me first.

"Get a good night's sleep. In the early morning, all the brothers left the northern city." Zhai Mengzi ordered loudly. The information brought back by the scout was from the east, thousands of infantrymen and thousands of cavalrymen, and they were all the enemies behind him.

The only thing that troubles is the more than a thousand cavalry. As long as they are not entangled by them, the infantry will only be able to follow behind them and eat their farts.

Zhai Mengzi was not worried at all that he could not get rid of the enemy's pursuit.

The lights in the city were lit, with the riding and bandits laughing, the crying of the people, and the neighing of women. As the riding bandits, the military disciplines of the past were naturally gone, and Zhai Mengzi was too lazy to care about them and would run away again tomorrow. If these bastards were wasted all their strength on the woman's belly and were unable to survive and died on the way to escape, they could only blame themselves. Anyway, his confidant would not allow them to be so casual. There were many mountains inside of these more than 1,500 riders, but they were just suppressed by themselves, or more deaths would be more conducive to mastering this team.

With a letter incense in his hand, Zhai Mengzi slept on the city wall. According to the enemy's military information reported by the scouts, they would have to arrive in Xinxiang at least tomorrow morning. As for the infantry, they would come later. He was not in a hurry at all. After leaving Xinxiang, he was desperate again. It would be good to have a safe sleep.

He was originally a desperate person, but he was very determined. He lay on the wall and fell asleep.

There was a trace of dawn in the sky, and the incense burned to the end, and Zhai Mengzi's two fingers were burned. He jumped up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and looked to the east. The weeds rose up like the wind, but they still didn't see any trace of the enemy, but they thought they were not far away.

"Send the order, gather the troops and prepare to leave the city." He shouted loudly.

After a while, the city became busy, with people yelling and horses neighing everywhere. Teams of cavalry emerged from everywhere, carrying some packages in their hands, and they thought it was either food or gold, silver and jewelry.

Although they are now riding bandits, they were still elite Qin troops in the past. Amid the roars, these riding bandits still formed a formation and lined up on the street to prepare for departure.

Xinxiang has no extra food. The living food of the people in the city is now in their hands, and it can only last for more than ten days. If you want to survive, you have to keep running and rob. They are cavalry, so naturally they are not considered. If you guard the city, you will become a turtle in the middle of your life and send your head to the Mingren's knife.

Zhai Meng stretched out his waist and looked east again. There were several riders running desperately. They were scouts he placed in the east. The Ming people were indeed here.

He strode down the city, turned over and dismounted, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the city!"

Teams of cavalry and bandits rushed out of the city gate and rushed to the north. Liu Daccazi, the other leader of the cavalry, rode his horse to him, "Boss, why not burn Xinxiang with fire, right?"

"Huh?" Zhai Mengzi glared at him, "Why do you have to do this more than that?"

"The Ming people claim to be a benevolent and righteous army. There are more than a thousand people in this city. The fire is on fire. Do they not save them when they die? In this way, it will either delay a lot of time or divide their troops to save people, which will be beneficial to us." Liu Daccazi laughed.

Zhai Mengzi nodded, "It makes sense, you can do it!" He clamped his legs and rushed out of the city gate.

A moment later, a skyrocketing fire lit up in Xinxiang City.

One thousand five hundred cavalrymen galloped towards the north in the fire.

More than ten miles away from Xinxiang City, the Hu Ben Camp with more than 3,000 people has been lined up, and rows of crossbows are hidden in the infantry array. This is the only way for the cavalry and bandits to escape from Xinxiang. Apart from breaking through the Hu Ben array, they have no way to go, either going up the mountain or crossing the water. This is a dead end for the cavalry and bandits.

A fire ignited in the distance.

"General, it's Xinxiang City. These dog thieves are still committed to committing evil when they die!" A general said angrily.

"If you kill them, all your sins will be eliminated." Jian Fang said lightly, pointing at the front of the horse whip and said, "How is the arrangement?"

The general laughed proudly: "General, don't worry, the open land in front is the tomb of the cavalry. With these arrangements and crossbows, it would be considered a great thing for them to have a small half of them rushing to our formation."
