Chapter 57: Burning the Bull

The barb rocket is too vicious, and the sails hit the ship are not burning. The fire-fighting measures on the ship are all aimed at the boards. How to save the sails in the air? The Buffalo team lit the outer warships and then retreated to the shore. The wind will push the out-of-control boats to the water gate. The remaining boats do not need Zhou Shixiong to point them. The ignited boats will help solve the problem.

Back on the shore, Zhou Shixiong and the buffalo team lined up near the Ximen. As long as someone wanted to escape through the Ximen, the crossbow would make him understand that the road was blocked. The riverside burned like daytime. Hu Fulong, who was called by the military advisor Hu Daogui, had no idea how many enemies had come. He just knew that the warship could not be saved, so he could escape. Soon, a group of water bandits who fled west came back to report that there was a large army outside the Ximen. Hu Fulong knew that there were enemy soldiers in the Ximen, so he immediately asked someone to go to the East Gate and North Gate to investigate.

It was confirmed that the enemy had not been found in the East Gate and the North Gate, and the East Gate was the road to Longshan, the nearest old nest. A large group of thieves surrounded Hu Fulong and headed east. [bsp;   Zhou Shixiong waited until the entire camp calmed down before sending people into the camp, confirming that all the thieves had run away, and ordered the buffalo team to advance eastward. Zhou Shixiong didn't care about the camp, anyway, Li Fusheng would come over tomorrow. If someone dared to steal the spoils of the imperial envoy, even the governor would think about the consequences.

The camp of the governor Wang Zunde was right across the river. The thief army was in full swing, and he could see it even if he was blind. Governor Wang quickly summoned two generals Fan Jingwen and Kang Chengjue to discuss matters.

"Two generals, what mysterious do you think the thief army is doing?" The last time they made a false call, the two generals made great contributions. If they hadn't been greedy for military merits to tempt Pan Yinglong into the water, Hu Fulong's affairs would have been settled. Wang Zunde disliked these two vulgar military men, but now he could only rely on them, so he sent all the fire to the deputy envoy Pan Yinglong and took the blame for Kang Chengjue and Fan Jingwen's responsibility.

"Sir, please send someone to see it. If there is any change, you can prepare." The two knew that the civil servant would cover the blame for the last time on them, and they also understood that they were not innocent people. Now they had more than 7,000 soldiers in their hands, half of the troops were more than Hu Fulong. If Hu Fulong hadn't had a huge number of warships, they would have forced Hu Fulong to fight to the decisive battle long ago.

"Sir, I am willing to take someone to check it out. I will report it to you if there is any situation." Kang Chengjue was more decisive than Fan Jingwen, planning to go there in person, with the idea of ​​getting a cheaper one and having trouble to escape first. After listening to the suggestions of the two military officers, Wang Zunde found that the two were not useless as Pan Yinglong described. He nodded and agreed to their suggestions and sent Kang Chengjue to lead a guard to cross the river to check it out.

As a water bandit, Hu Fulong relied on ships to fight against the fully armed guards on land. He didn't have the courage to do so. Zhou Shixiong burned his capital for food, and thousands of water bandits instinctively threw two legs to escape. They didn't know that Zhou Wu was already guarding fifty miles east of the Bitan Castle, with fifty elephants lined up in five lines, quietly waiting for Hu Fulong's arrival.

The blocking position chosen by Zhou Wu happened to be the only passage from Bitan Castle to Longshan. This was the place that Ma San and Hu Guangli confirmed in great difficulty. Zhou Wu led the elephant team to a large circle before coming here. After a rest, he saw that the Bitan Castle camp had already soared into the sky. A group of young Jinyiwei excitedly put on armor and climbed onto the elephant, and could launch an attack at any time.

"Young master is really a bad thing. Fifty buffaloes can burn the thief into panic and flee. The rest will be seen by us." Zhou Wu stood on the back of the elephant and shouted, as if he was praising Zhou Shixiong and cheering his subordinates. The boys cheered, as if they had won the battle.

After waiting for a while, under the flames of the direction of Bipan Castle, a group of water bandits Wu Lianwu Yang rushed towards this side. Zhou Wu looked at him and knew that he had won. He raised his dart in his hand and waved it forward. Fifty elephants lined up in a row. The crossbowman shook his handle and opened the bowstring. The archer put three javelins into the arrow groove. The crossbowman looked ahead and didn't need to aim at it at all. He pulled the trigger to fire.

There were three javelins on a bed crossbow, and fifty were 150. Driven by special bowstrings, the javelins flew into the crowd with a harsh whistling sound. With a muffled puff sound, more than a hundred water bandits died on the spot.

Hu Fulong walked in front and was discussing with several leaders how to avoid officers and soldiers next. When the whistling sounded, several big men unconsciously fell down and were considered very professional soldiers. "King, there are officers and soldiers." Hu Daogui, chief military advisor, looked at the casualties behind him, and was frightened by the straight javelin on the body. Needless to ask, the only option to use such an exquisite javelin can be the official army. And if the javelin makes such a sound, the crossbow is the only option.

"Retreat quickly." Hu Fulong is worthy of being the leader. The first thing he thought of was to leave the range of the crossbow, instead of analyzing the enemy's identity romantically like a military advisor.

Before Hu Fulong's order was spread, a louder noise came from behind, "The government army is catching up!"

We were already running for life, but there were people in front of us who had not thought of a way to deal with it. There were pursuers behind us. How could we live this life? Hu Fulong screamed in anger, but he finally attracted a round of volleys. Now Hu Fulong became honest and lay on the ground and asked the military advisor, "Daogui, what should we do?"

"King, you can find it again if the manpower is dispersed. If you can't get back to Longshan, you will have no capital. You must go back to Longshan anyway." The military advisor is considering long-term things, and just leave it to the leader to do small things like running away in front of you.

"Daogui is right, Mo Feng, take people to protect the military advisor and run north." Hu Fulong called his number one general, Hu Daogui, to escort the military advisor. This affection was deeply felt by Hu Daogui. It was not until Zhou Shixiong's buffalo team surrounded him and the military advisor that the military advisor understood, "I was fucked sold by Hu Fulong!" How simple, a large group of chaotic water bandits either kneeled down to surrender or escaped in scattered places. Only the military advisor and the crowd fled together. Who would Zhou Shixiong chase him?

The military advisor was also a decisive figure. When he asked clearly that Zhou Shixiong was the leader, he betrayed Hu Fulong as soon as possible. "Sir, Hu Fulong must have gone to Longshan. All his belongings were hidden in Longshan. If he had no such treasures, Hu Fulong would be bullshit."

Under the leadership of the military advisor and his confidant, Zhou Shixiong's buffalo team came to Longshan Mountain Village first before Hu Fulong. The military advisor personally tricked him into opening the gate. The buffalo team rushed in and took down Longshan Village with zero casualties.

Hu Fulong hid on the roadside of the mountain village. When he watched the officers and soldiers walking towards the mountain village under the leadership of the former military advisor, he knew that there was no show to sing. However, Hu Fulong was finally a big shot, and he made a quick decision to leave Longshan quickly and sneaked into Xunzhou Prefecture and disappeared.

Zhu Ying was a little dissatisfied with the failure to catch the bandit leader. Zhou Shixiong sent her to escort the prisoners to the Bitan Castle camp and finally found a place to vent his anger. The elephant team just shot the javelin with a crossbow tonight, and beat Hu Fulong to cry and call him. Although he did not launch the long-trained Elephant Formation Charge Charge, Zhou Wu was still very satisfied with the results of this battle. No one was killed or injured.

Zhou Shixiong's battle results were slightly worse. Although the attack speed of the crossbow arch was much faster than that of the bed crossbow, the range of the crossbow was not as far away as the bed crossbow, and the shooting efficiency was much worse. This was impossible. Elephants had been training for almost two years, and these buffaloes had just been given two days, so they really couldn't compare. When encountering a battle formation, the elephants could stand there steadily and remained motionless. These buffaloes were irritated and kept kicking, which seriously affected the crossbow archers' archery.

Later, another cow could not stand the stimulation of the bloody smell and launched a single bull attack on the annoying water bandits. In order to pay tribute to the brave fierce bull, the other buffaloes also began to charge without hesitation. Although it defeated the unwilling water bandits at one time, it also caused Zhou Shixiong, the Hundred Jinyiwei, to be unprepared, and several were injured.

After a busy night, Zhou Shixiong took the prisoners back to the Bitan Castle camp and found someone moving in the camp and someone moving things. "Zhou Wu, go and see who is stealing the spoils of my official?"

Zhou Shixiong has characterized the people in the camp as bandits. Now he has fifty elephants and fifty buffaloes in his hands. As long as he charges at the camp, the people inside have no other way except to escape.

"The lower-ranking officer Zuo Jiang General Kang Chengjue met with the imperial envoy." As soon as Zhou Wu arrived at the door, the people inside reported the letter to Kang Chengjue. Such a large-scale cavalry and infantry march would not be seen in broad daylight. Kang Chengjue was still thinking about guarding the camp. Seeing dozens of elephants armed to their teeth, his heart was already cold. Zhou Wu came to call, which made Kang Chengjue overjoyed. As long as the thief came, everything was easy to say.

"General Kang Shen made great contributions to occupying the water bandit camp." Zhou Shixiong was clearly digging a hole. If Kang Chengjue jumped in, then Zhou Shixiong could not be blamed for his fierceness.

"If the generals had this ability, if they either burned the pirate ships and drove the bandits away, they would not be able to occupy the place even if they gave them ten thousand troops. The tent had already cleaned up and asked the lord to inspect." Kang Chengjue was finally clever and did not carelessly greedy for Zhou Shixiong's contributions. He also cleverly placed his position under Zhou Shixiong's servant, as if he was cleaning up the camp at the order of Zhou Shixiong.

"Since General Kang Shen is interested, even these prisoners must be locked up. In addition, more than 2,000 water bandits are scattered around here. General Kang Shen is interested, so he can send people to see around. Maybe he can catch some fish that missed the net." Zhou Shixiong was a little advantage to Kang Chengjue. As for whether Kang Chengjue can get it, it has nothing to do with Zhou Shixiong.

As long as it was not a water battle, Kang Chengjue really didn't take these water bandits seriously. Hearing Zhou Shixiong said this, he immediately summoned a thousand Zuojiang troops to the camp. Being able to capture a few prisoners will always be beneficial to reducing the previous crimes.

After entering the camp, Zhou Shixiong asked Zhou Wu to go to the camp, "Where are all things that can be transported here, and the warships can be used can be transported away. We lack anything at home." Zhou Wu understood it, and while sending people to Wuxuan, he asked Zhou Er to send the ship to come, cleaning up the supplies of the camp.
