"Brothers, work harder. If we slow down, this thief is likely to run out. His Royal Highness has issued an order. At that time, no matter whether he is alive or dead, he can catch him. Just based on what he did in Wuchang, he will not be satisfied with killing him ten times."

The one who led the army to pursue Wu Chengxun, the commander of the cavalry regiment. This guy was a real person from Jingchu. However, he used to work in the capital, so he was considered an old man who followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing such a thing happening in my hometown, how could I bear it in my heart? Now I want to lose Zuo Menggeng.

The brothers under his command had been fighting on the horse for several hours, and everyone was exhausted, but they set out late.

So there is still a certain distance between you and Zuo Menggeng, and now you are even more afraid to stop and rest. If you lose your target, how can you be worthy of the hundreds of thousands of victims around Wuchang City?

"Captain, this is the military camp of Jingmen. I have been here before. It seems that there is no one here. These people have followed Zuo Menggeng to the west. If he had gathered the remaining soldiers all the way, this guy could have taken in a lot of people."

Deputy Head Jiang Mu said.

"There is nothing to worry about. Most of the troops under Zuo Menggeng are scammers. All the elite troops are established in Wuchang. These people around are useless. We only need one person to surrender even after passing by. Zuo Menggeng put these people on now, which is purely to drag his speed. If I were him, I would not bring these people with me."

Wu Chengxun’s inference is correct. When Zuo Menggeng passed by here, he felt that his strength was too weak, so he thought of gathering some soldiers along the way, so he would be confident to enter Sichuan in this way.

Although his idea is correct, just like what Wu Chengxun said, these soldiers are all vague and do not have much combat power at all. If you bring them all, it will be like taking a burden, and the speed of escape will become slower and slower.

As expected, they continued to pursue, and after half an hour, they discovered Zuo Menggeng's army not far away.

This army came out of the Jingmen military camp. Except for the generals in the lead, the rest of the people were all moving forward with their feet. No matter how fast you ran, you might not be able to run away.

"Run directly over and tear them apart."

Wu Chengxun issued an offensive order without saying a word.

The soldiers under his command chased them all the way, but they didn't find a punching bag. Now they happened to see these guys, how could they spare them? They took out their pistols and rushed up.

"Oh my god, run..."

Usually these guys are a group of mobs. When they retreated in a hurry, many people didn't even bring their own weapons, so when they saw the Ming cavalry rushing towards them not far away, these guys were stunned.

"Surrender and not kill. Anyone who dares to move will be executed immediately."

After hearing the orders of the Ming soldiers, everyone knelt on the ground honestly, not even raising their heads. The Ming cavalry did not have the ability to care about them, and they went straight past the side.

Their mission is to pursue Zuo Menggeng, rather than capture these people, and there are two infantry regiments following behind!

Leave these people to the infantry of the two regiments and transport them back to the Wuchang area. Now people are in need of work, and they are also considered a new force.

Zuo Menggeng was not angry at this time. He had just incorporated two thousand troops. Who knew that he had not yet been warmed up in his hands and was defeated by the Ming army. He originally expected these guys to delay the time. Even if they were cannon fodder, they had to have their own role, but who knew that they had no effect at all.

If it doesn't work at all, it's not right. Of course, this effect is not beneficial to Zuo Menggeng. All of these soldiers are locals.

They were very familiar with the surrounding terrain. After being captured by the imperial army, these people also wanted to seek lenient treatment, so they hurriedly told the surrounding situation, including the situation they saw in Zuo Menggeng's army.

After hearing these people's words, Wu Chengxun and Jiang Mu summarized it slightly.

Zuo Menggeng and others escaped in a hurry and only carried dry food for two days. If they continued to run like this, someone would probably not be able to hold on the third day.

Another thing is about the surrounding terrain. If they continue to chase forward, there is a certain chance of catching up. However, with the help of these people, there is also a path that can circumvent them. Of course, this path is not very spacious, and can only be passed by one person.

"You continue to pursue the army from behind. I will take a row of five hundred brothers along the way to them. At that time, you only need to stop them. If you pursue them from behind, we will be better than following them in this way."

Wu Chengxun made a decision quickly. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry regiment and company was very strong. This turned out to be General Li Yan's old army and had participated in many large-scale battles, so Wu Chengxun was also more confident.

"How can this work? You are the leader of a regiment, so I'll go, and you will continue to move forward with the army."

Jiang Mu shook his head. This guy was not a cavalry before, but just made contributions to the battlefield and was temporarily transferred.

"Don't fight with me. All the way is mountains. I don't know your riding skills yet. Just take your brothers to chase after you. When you hear the gunshots in front of you, we should be ahead of them. You should rush forward. Anyway, they are a group of mobs. At that time, as long as they are in chaos, they will capture Zuo Menggeng alive."

They are all their own brothers, so there is nothing to care about when saying this. Just like what Wu Chengxun said, Jiang Mu's riding skills are not very good. If he was asked to lead the commando team, it would probably not be the best effect.

The matter was urgent and the two exchanged for a moment and immediately separated. Wu Chengxun led five hundred cavalry onto the path, and three prisoners acted as their guides.

These people are all locals, so they are naturally very clear about the roads in the mountains. Although it is dark now, because the moonlight is very bright, there is no delay in rushing to the road quickly.

Zuo Menggeng did not feel that danger was coming at this time, nor did he consider the use of these Jingmen soldiers...
