An arrow like a flying immortal from the sky not only shot Shen Laoqi, but also made the Hutou Village minions stunned on the spot, but also caught the official army off guard and could not react for a while. Only Suo Chao, who had been staring at the front, suddenly turned around after seeing this amazing scene. With a turn of his eyes, he fell on Sun Tu who had lowered his bow not far behind him.

Although he felt that the bow in Sun Tu's hand looked a little strange, Suo Chao's first reaction was to take the opportunity to break the enemy. He yelled: "The thief chief was awarded the head, brothers, break the thief's nest here, kill it!" As soon as he said that, he was the first to fly forward, and the long axe in his hand flew up and down to protect his body from being injured by the enemy's arrows.

The loud shout immediately woke up the soldiers of the government and soldiers. They all came out of their courage, shouted, and rushed forward with great strides. Even the villagers, after knowing that the thief leader was killed, had their confidence increased and they followed closely to kill.

In sharp contrast to the situation of the government army with great morale, the performance of the bandits in the village was the manifestation of the bandits. When they saw their leader Shen Laoqi suddenly being shot dead by an arrow from flying in, and the government army took the opportunity to cover up and killed them, these fierce guys suddenly felt as if they had lost their souls.

Especially at this time, everyone was surprised to find that at some point, Du Hu, the leader of the village, had disappeared. As a result, these bandits were even more headless and became a piece of loose sand. Seeing the officials and soldiers rushing over quickly, they could not form any defense, and some people retreated in panic.

The changes in the situation on the battlefield often occur in a flash, one rises and the other goes down. The bandits who could have blocked the offensive of the government completely collapsed at this moment. They had no intention of stopping the enemy, and they were left with the idea of ​​turning their heads and running to the mountain village like headless flies.

This naturally increased the confidence of the official army to rush over. In the blink of an eye, he rushed through the gate and rushed into the village. He waved the weapons in his hand and called the bandits who only held their backs to them. While wielding the Xuanhua Axe in Suo Chao, he had already cut over three thieves who had no power of resistance, and then shouted loudly: "Kneeling on the ground and being bound to avoid death, and you will be killed without any rebellion!"

The soldiers of Daming Mansion who rushed in with him also shouted loudly. After killing several people in a row, they were scared that the bandits who had long lost their desire to resist had dropped their weapons and knelt down.

In fact, if these people struggled with the idea of ​​dying and then struggled, they might really cause considerable casualties to the officials who entered the village regardless of their own efforts. However, once the soldiers and minions on the battlefield lost their unified command, they would completely lose their fighting spirit and could only surrender.

At this time, the military strength advantage of the government army was completely revealed. While everyone rushed over to tie up the kneeling bandits on the spot, they could also divide some of their hands to advance to the various parts of the mountain village to capture and eliminate the remaining thieves. The Juyi Hall in front and the residences in the mountain village behind were rushed into the sky. The bandits who had been lucky enough to hide in the past were also killed or driven away.

For a moment, begging for mercy and screams sounded everywhere in Hutou Village. Several soldiers were the smartest and quickly ran to the open space in front of Juyi Hall. After a few axes, they cut off the flagpole that was standing there, causing the tiger-headed flag tied to the head to the ground.

As the banner representing Hutouzhai fell, the bandits who had been in Yuncheng County for ten years and had suffered great disasters were finally completely destroyed. The soldiers and Min Zhuang who saw this scene all cheered from the bottom of their hearts, completely overshadowing the screams of the bandits.

Although Sun Tu, who was in it, had a smile on his face, his eyes flashed constantly. A problem that was easily overlooked by everyone in this era suddenly rose from his heart.

When the thief leader was caught in an arrow, the battle had actually had a result. This may be a common problem for all armies in this era, including the official army of the Song Dynasty. Once something happens to the chief general, whether it is killed or injured, as long as he cannot command the battle, even if there are thousands of troops, it will turn into a ball of loose sand in the blink of an eye, causing the enemy to easily destroy it.

Therefore, in Sun Tu's view, the war at this time is still full of surprises, and often an inconspicuous variable can influence the victory or defeat of the war, which is really undesirable.

But then, he smiled at himself again, what did he think of this? That was what the dynasty generals who held military power should think about. Now he only wants to protect himself.

I guess after this battle to combat the thieves, I have shown some performance again, so Liu Yuan can no longer find an opportunity to deal with him, right? And Jijiazhuang and other things should be over, right?

At this time, he heard several soldiers running to Suo Chao excitedly report: "Military General, we have just found dozens of cages from the room behind, and the items contained in them are used as birthday gifts!"

"Okay! Take out all the things for me and I'll take them down the mountain later!" When Suo Chao heard this, his last feeling of uneasiness finally calmed down. He came here on order to regain the birthday gift. Since the things were retrieved, he could give Mr. Liang an explanation.

After receiving the order, the soldiers hurried back and became busy. But soon after, in addition to bringing back dozens of cages, they also carried the body of a middle-aged man with wide eyes and no breath: "Military General, this is also found in the room. It seems that he had just died shortly."

"Hmm?" Suo Chao walked forward with a little strange and looked at the corpse carefully: "Isn't he killed by you? Did he commit suicide?"

All the soldiers shook their heads: "We didn't kill him, but when we found him, he was already a corpse. And there were no weapons beside the corpse, so he was killed."

"You all come and see, can you recognize people?" Suo Chao was even more surprised and quickly greeted Min Zhuang and the servants who were watching the prisoners on the side.

Lei Heng looked over with the situation and exclaimed as soon as he saw it: "This, isn't this Ji Yang, the owner of the Ji family?"

Sun Tu was also stunned when he heard this, but he quickly guessed the inside story: "He should have been killed by the thieves here!" He did not say the next half of the sentence directly. In his opinion, the body looked a little depressed. It was obvious that he was living a very bad life in the village. He should have turned against Du Hu, and even became a prisoner!

Song Jiang also came up at this time, looked at the corpse a few times, and made a similar judgment. After hearing what he said, everyone took a breath. Isn't this a typical black and black eater? Obviously, after Du Hu discovered that Jijiazhuang had no use anymore, he decisively attacked Ji Yang, the former collaborator.

But then, a thought rose from everyone's heart: "By the way, where is Du Hu, the main culprit here? Where did he go?"

Suo Chao immediately shouted: "Come here, who has seen the main culprit Du Hu? Gather everyone together, and there are corpses, and no one should be left out!"

The soldiers quickly took action. After some busyness, all the bodies were gathered and the prisoners were identified, but they could not find their camp leader. Then, everyone searched everywhere, but there was no whereabouts of Du Hu. He seemed to have suddenly lost a trace just before his defeat.

"How is this possible!" Suo Chao looked disbelief and ordered: "Everyone will search me carefully. No corner can be missed. There is also the back mountain. Go find me!"

The order was soon obtained. Someone came to report that he had found a hook rope on the edge of the cliff at the back mountain. Obviously, someone saw that the situation was not good and escaped from here.

Suo Chao, who heard the news, brought people here. Looking at the cliffs dozens of feet and the dark sky outside, he could only angrily exhaled a breath of turbid air: "This bastard runs fast enough. But no matter how big the world is, there is no place for him to live in. The government will take you one day!"

Although he ran away to seize the main culprit of the Birthday Division, it was finally a great achievement to pacify Hutou Village and regain the Birthday Division. Now for Suo Chao, the most important thing is to continue sending the things to Tokyo Bianliang as soon as possible.
