Chapter 58, the whole army pursues

Zhang Zizhong withdrew and let the officers and soldiers and the people of Huairong County cheer loudly. At the same time, the gate opened and let the exiles outside in.

"Go to the county government to wait. Where to serve porridge, don't grab it!" Han Dang spoke loudly.

Zu Zhao watched the exiles silently. He seized a batch of grain from the Wudou Rice Religion. Originally, he could take it away as military grain, but when he looked at the exiles outside the city, he finally left this batch of grain to Huairong County.

At the same time, he also escorted the grain and fodder originally buried in the cellar to Huairong County. Zhang Xian, the county magistrate of Huairong County, was so happy to see so many grains and fodder that appeared all of a sudden!

"The governor is really the reborn parents of the people in Huairong County. Please accept the worship!" Zhang Xian was so excited that he originally held the idea of coexistence in Huairong County, but he didn't expect to survive.

"You're welcome, the county magistrate. You and I support each other, but I'm afraid these exiles will give the county magistrate a headache!" Zu Zhao pointed to the people who poured in and said with a smile.

Zhang Xian looked at the ragged people and smiled bitterly: "I have been an official for many years, but I have not cultivated to the level of iron heart. Since these exiles have wandered to Huairong County, I will definitely find a way to keep them from starving to death!"

Zu Zhao took a look at Zhang Xian and found that Zhang Xian had compassionate feelings similar to Hai Rui Baogong, which was worthy of being a parent official.

"Then leave it to the county magistrate. In order to prevent Zhang Zizhong from coming back again, I decided to lead 300 Youqi to chase them and completely drive them out of Huairong County!"

Zu Zhao watched the dust flying in the distance. It was Zhang Zizhong's cavalry and Bu Yong who were slowly retreating.

"Then the good sound of waiting for the governor!" Zhang Xian said with a smile. If others said that he would use 300 cavalry to chase the army of1,400 people, Zhang Xian would definitely despise the other party, but Zu Zhao was different. Zu Zhao's actions in Huairong County made Zhang Xian not doubt Zu Zhao's words at all.

......

Zhang Zizhong could no longer stand, but was helped to the carriage by his own soldiers. There was plasma flowing out of the burns on his body, and the doctor in the army had already prescribed him.

"Has Zu Zhao chased him?" He asked the soldiers around him weakly.

A general beside him said helplessly, "It's coming, right behind, but it's just chasing and killing the scouts we sent. As long as there is a single scout, they will be killed!"

At this time, a fragrant question came from the opposite hillside. At this moment, there was a north wind, and Zu Zhao led You to ride on the hillside.

"Where is the meat flavor? This is the taste of horse meat! Who dares to kill the horse? Zhang Zizhong struggled and pulled over and asked.

Goo!

A grunting sound came from the general's stomach. It may be a chain reaction, and other people in the carriage make the same sound.

He smelled the smell of meat, swallowed a mouthful of water fiercely, and said, "It was Zu Zhao who killed our scouts, and then killed our war horses. Now he is cooking horse meat and soup on the opposite hillside!"

"This horse meat is really delicious. After taking a bite, I still want to eat the second bite! I can swallow a piece of horse meat in one bite!"

Is horse meat delicious? This bone is still easy to gnaw! Look at this long ribs. I cut the bone marrow in it with a sabre!"

"The broth is also good. This broth is soaked in rice, which is a good thing! Aren't we soldiers fighting just to have a full stomach? What kind of fool is there if you don't even have enough to eat?"

Han Dangzu's voice is like a wolf howling. The most annoying thing is that the two of them are still holding two large loudspeakers while eating horse meat while broadcasting to the public.

The soldiers on Zhang Zizhong's side swallowed wild vegetables at this moment. Even wild vegetables were only enough to plug their teeth. All the scouts who went out to find food and dig wild vegetables were killed by Zu Zhao. Zu Zhao did not pursue Zhang Zizhong but hung from afar and resolutely refused to let go, but Zhang Zizhong's team preparing grain and fodder were all killed by Zu Zhao.

Golu!

The sound of thunder came from the yellow scarf soldier's stomach. They nibbled wild vegetables and listened to how delicious Handang's horse meat was, and how delicious the head soup made by horse meat was. While swallowing his saliva desperately, he looked straight at Zu Zhao and others on the hillside, and couldn't wait to grab a piece.

"Despicable! This is a blow to our morale! General, I will lead a pair of people to drive them away!" A general beside Zhang Zizhong got up to talk, with an atmosphere on his face, but the cooing sound from his stomach betrayed him.

"General Li is tired all the way, so let's go!"

"Go somewhere..."

For a while, the general in Zhang Zizhong's carriage kept arguing. A general's stomach kept purring, and his mouth was also noisy.

Zhang Zizhong smiled bitterly and pointed to a general he most didn't like, indicating that he could go.

The general left with a smile, but did not see a slightly sarcastic expression on Zhang Zizhong's face.

"The children rushed up the hillside and killed those guys. We will have horse meat to eat. Let's go!"

A horse rushed up the hillside.

Zu Zhao smiled with a bad smile on his face: "A fool rushed up. I guess he is an unpopular Lord. Give them a little powerful with our lost crossbow!"

Zu Pingzu's daughter Handang held a Zhuge crossbow and put ten arrows on the winch, and ten people also held the crossbow and looked at the rushing cavalry with a sneer.

"Wooden spear shooting!"

The wooden spears of the 300 cavalry were shot out, and half of the yellow scarf cavalry had fallen. With another riding and shooting, the yellow scarf army had rushed to a distance of 20 meters.

Zu Zhao waved his hand, and the ten Zhuge crossbows behind him were launched together, and nearly 100 archers also shot arrows.

It was only the general who could rush to Zu Zhao. The people around him had already fallen to the ground, and the horse was either nailed by a wooden spear or injured by an arrow.

The general looked at Zu Zhao and the fallen soldiers behind him and was stunned for a moment. But he still raised his sabre and rushed over with Zu Zhao, "Someone is going to kill you!" With a big shout, he jumped up from the horse and rushed to Zu Zhao.

The long gun in Zu Zhao's hand was stabbed like lightning and hit his throat.

"It's a little bloody!" Zu Zhao kicked him down with a shot, and then saw that Zhang Zizhong at the foot of the mountain had ordered Bu Yong and the cavalry to ride together to evacuate, while the injured old, weak, sick and disabled were directly thrown down and cut off.

Three hundred riders surrounded those old, weak, sick and disabled like lightning. There are about 300 people. These people are simply exiles. It is no wonder that Zhang Zizhong will give up these people without any fighting power.

"Retain these 300 prisoners back! This is the military merit of our volunteer army!" Zu Zhao gave a cold order.

"Aren't we going to chase Zhang Zizhong?" Zu's daughter asked unwillingly.

Zu Zhao looked at Zhang Zizhong in the distance and shook his head. It would not be fun if he forced Zhang Zizhong to die together. That's what it means to chase the poor.

When the group escorted 300 prisoners back to Huairong County, all the people in Huairong County cheered loudly.

Zhang Xian is even more excited. 300 prisoners are not a lot of military achievements, including the merit of his county magistrate. Zu Zhao can also drink soup when eating meat.

At this moment, Zhang Xian has ordered the stingy to clean up the county government, invite Zu Zhao to settle in, and take out the best grain and fodder to entertain Zu Zhao's soldiers and horses.

The gentry in Huairong County beat gongs and drums, and invited Zu Zhao to attend a family banquet. The yellow scarf army's idea of equalising the land and divide the grain made them shocked them. They were afraid that once the city was broken, their property and family business would also disappear. Now Zu Zhao, a young soldier in silver robes, not only repelled Zhang Zizhong, but also captured 300 bandits. In their opinion, this is a great achievement.

After Zu Zhao entered Huairong County, he received worship posts almost every day, and all the gentry were politely declined by him.

Now his only goal is to train troops!

Only he knows that 300 Youqi can't always encounter victory, just like a battle with Zhang Zizhong. If Zhang Zizhong doesn't want to attack the county at night, it is estimated that he is still deadlocked in public. The most fundamental reason why Zhang Zizhong's defeat is still the impetuousness of being scolded by Zhang Xian and others. If you want to destroy people, you must make people crazy first. Crazy.

"The power of 300 Youqi is still too congivable that I dare not chase Zhang Zizhong too much. If you give me eight hundred Youqi Zhang Zizhong, it will definitely be destroyed under Huairong County!"

Zu Zhao looked at the horsemen who was training with a sting gun with a trace of helplessness.

In addition, financial resources are also quite a headache for him. A group of war horses need at least 30 taels of silver a year to maintain good combat effectiveness, while ordinary cavalry need at least 10 taels of silver a year.

The most basic cost of 300 Youqi in a year is 10,000 taels. Xuwu County is only the basic need to maintain these 300 Youqi. In addition, other firearms and equipment such as leather armor are not wrapped.

"Go on the order. From today on, 300 Youqi will be divided into first-class, second-class and third-class and unqualified soldiers according to the level of assassination. Unqualified soldiers will be given three opportunities. If they are still unqualified, then become grain transporters! Only elite soldiers are needed in the cavalry!"

Zu Zhao said lightly to Zu Pingzu's daughter Handang.

"Isn't this a little too harsh?" Zu Ping whispered from the side.

"When cavalry fights, under normal circumstances, one move against each other will determine life and death. One blow is a special means that must be mastered. If you are not qualified, you will be a grain transporter, and you can't damage the combat effectiveness of this team of cavalry!"

Three people nodded.

Zuzu Zhao looked helplessly at the soldiers and horses in his hand. When there was no way to expand the army, it was the only way to improve his combat effectiveness.

Although it came from the previous life, it takes four conditions to establish a career in this troubled world. The first is to have territory, the second is to have people, the third is rich and the fourth is to have an army. But now the four conditions of Zu Zhao are only met by the army, and this army only has 300 Youqi.
