"If I'm hunting down a wanted criminal, won't Liangshan just sit idly by?"
Qian Ruhu still held onto a sliver of hope.
But before he could finish speaking,
Then they heard the clatter of horses' hooves from not far away.
Then,
Then a woman in red riding a warhorse charged towards them...
Chapter 576 What should we do if Liangshan forces us to go up the mountain?
Behind the woman in red,
Several dozen more cavalrymen followed closely behind!
Not to mention the other side's well-dressed armor,
Sharp knives and spears,
Just those few dozen cavalrymen,
Qian Ruhu knew that
Even this small group of Liangshan people,
They are not people I can afford to offend.
Because the Song court lost the Hexi Corridor,
Without natural horse pastures,
This led to a shortage of warhorses for the Song court.
The only warhorses available were prioritized for supply to the frontier.
This led to the government in the mainland,
Even the state government offices had the Imperial Guards and the local militia.
They are also in short supply of horses.
Not to mention a small county government like Lanshan County,
The entire Lanshan County,
Besides the nag under Qian Ruhu's saddle,
Only two or three sick, old, and thin horses remained.
It was used as a scout.
Although Qian Ruhui was only a head constable in the county government,
But one can still have a good eye.
Upon seeing the dozens of sleek, powerful horses on the other side,
This tells us that the enemy's cavalry is elite.
Even if the prefecture or county government had the imperial guards,
I'm afraid it would be difficult to compete!
Just thinking about such a powerful cavalryman...
They were actually men under the command of Liangshan.
A bitter feeling welled up in Qian Ruhui's heart.
He couldn't help but mutter.
"What kind of world is this? The bandits are even better equipped than our government troops!"
"Captain! Make a decision quickly!"
The bailiff urged.
"This is just the vanguard of Liangshan!"
"If we delay any longer, the main force of Liangshan will catch up!"
"Sigh, what else can we do? Let's retreat!"
Qian Ruhu glanced at Fan Chenglong and his three companions with resentment.
Immediately squeeze the horse's belly,
Taking the lead,
They fled towards Lanshan County.
The remaining yamen runners and soldiers, seeing this,
How could we dare to delay any longer?
They all cried out in panic.
They scattered and fled!
"this......"
The lead female knight in red rode over.
Just as he was about to fight fiercely,
But what I saw was unexpected.
Surprisingly, all the government troops turned tail and ran.
Look at how panicked they are!
It's like being followed by tigers and wolves.
"Damn it! What kind of government troops are these? How can they be so cowardly?"
The female knight in red curled her lip in resentment.
The riding whip in his hand snapped against the ground with a "crack".
Dust immediately rose up all over the ground.
At this time,
The cavalry behind them caught up.
The leading man rode up to the female knight.
Unable to resist asking,
"Why did you rush forward like that for no reason!"
these two,
Naturally, it was Chen Liqing and Zhao Yuan.
"I want you to take care of it!"
The female guard snorted in annoyance.
Then he squeezed the horse's belly again.
They chased after the government troops who had fled not far away!
"What's wrong with this girl?!"
Zhao Yuan frowned.
Leave a squad of guards behind.
Let them go and see those four men who were surrounded and killed by the government troops.
Zhao Yuan himself led the remaining personal guards,
They continued chasing after Chen Liqing!
...
When they were surrounded by the Liangshan cavalry.
Fan Chenglong and the other three all looked completely bewildered.
They don't understand either.
Why did those government troops who were just shouting and threatening to kill him earlier...?
In an instant,
They immediately took off and ran far away!
And then,
A group of elite cavalrymen surrounded them!
"This...this couldn't be some kind of Imperial Guard, could it?"
Fan Chenglong asked in a low voice.
"No! No!"
Zhen Xianglin, who came from a commanding background, became tense!
"These men are equipped with far superior gear and horses compared to the Imperial Guards!"
"But their clothing and armor were not those of the imperial court!"
"A true general, then who are they...?"
Gou Huan asked.
"Didn't we hear from passing merchants that the Liangshan forces captured Yizhou Prefecture a couple of days ago?"
Zhen Xianglin said with a dark face,
"In my opinion, these cavalrymen are most likely the men from Liangshan!"
"Liangshan?"
The remaining three looked at each other in bewilderment.
Unlike the heroes who came from humble backgrounds,
These four people,
Either born into a military family.
They are either local wealthy families,
To them,
Compared to other mountain bandit strongholds, Liangshan was...
They're not that different!
Even to some extent,
Compared to ordinary mountain bandits,
They hated Liangshan even more!
After all, they were just ordinary bandits in the mountains.
At most, they'll just bully ordinary people.
Only Liangshan,
However, they openly raised the banner of rebellion.
And in the last two days,
They even directly captured Yizhou's capital city!
This is for Song Ting,
There are also four loyal people.
