Zhang Xuan's vanguard caught up with Wang Bo's team at the second update, but they did not attack immediately, but patiently waited for the arrival of the main army. The Sui army discovered by Wang Bo's spy was indeed the vanguard cavalry. They were ordered to go to Sishui County to contact the local government.

It was not until the fourth hour that Zhang Xuan led the main army to the valley where Wang Bo was camping. They launched an attack on this valley less than three miles long from north to south at the same time.

At this time, the sound of drums in and outside the valley was like thunder, and the soldiers shouted and killed the sky. Three thousand Sui army crossbowmen sealed the exit of the South Valley, and arrows were like rain, roaring groups of howling, trying to break through the thief to the ground.

"General, it's the south wind now. The wind direction is good for us. It's better to set fire to the valley!" Pei Xingyan suggested to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "It's too wet here, and setting fire to the valley is not very effective. Instead, it will produce thick smoke. Instead, it will force them to break through the siege and urge them to surrender after dawn."

At this moment, the valley entrance was in an uproar, the soldiers kept screaming, the earth was rumbling, Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned, what happened?

"General, the cow is coming!"

A lieutenant shouted, and the soldiers dodged to both sides. Zhang Xuan and Pei Xingyan also hurriedly urged the horse to run to the side.

In just a moment, a herd of black cattle rushed out, with hundreds of heads. They were hit several times on their backs and buttocks, and the blood continued to flow. The severe pain made each cow very violent and rushed out of the valley like crazy.

"No! Wang Bo is about to break through."

Zhang Xuan found that more than 200 cavalry were following behind the oxen herd, surrounded by a man, running like lightning. He immediately realized that Wang Bo was using the oxen to break through.

"Shoot with random arrows!"

Zhang Xuan immediately ordered that it was too late to intercept, so he could only shoot the cavalry with random arrows.

More than a thousand arrows shot towards the cavalry behind the herd of cattle like a storm. There was only a scream and the horses neighed. The cavalry were shot into arrows and fell to the ground, and more than a hundred people fell down instantly.

But the herd of cattle had already rushed out of a road and ran towards the distance. The remaining cavalry accelerated their horses and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Zhang Xuan was furious and ordered: "Cabinets pursue!"

Pei Xingyan took the lead and shouted: "Cabinets come with me!"

More than 400 cavalrymen rushed out from both sides and quickly formed a torrent, chasing Wang Bo in the direction of escape.

Wang Bo's escape caused the thief army in the valley to lose its backbone, and they shouted to surrender. Teams of soldiers took off their armor, put down their weapons, and raised their hands to run out of the valley. At this time, the Sui army blocked the gap that was broken by the cows and began to accept the surrender of the thief army.

The surrendered bandits were pulled aside, put their heads on their heads, knelt in the open space, and soon there were thousands of people kneeling.

Gradually, fewer and fewer soldiers came out of the valley. Zhang Xuan immediately ordered: "Set rockets and notify the North Valley army to go into the valley to search together. The stubborn resisters will kill them!"

‘Swoosh’

Several fire-filled whistlebrating into the sky and sent out a signal to search in the valley. Qin Yong from the South Valley and Yuchi Gong from the North Valley each led 3,000 soldiers to start searching in the valley.

There were no soldiers in the valley, only hundreds of old cows and mules and thousands of chaotic carts. The ground was covered with mess, mostly soldiers' blankets and items.

"The general looks at the mountain!"

A soldier pointed to the mountain and heard the chirping of frightening birds coming from the mountain. This was when a thief soldier fled up the mountain.

"Uncle Second, do we want to search the mountains?" Qin Yong asked happily.

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "There is no time to search the mountains. Don't worry about them for the time being."

At this time, Yuchi Gong hurried over with an official, "General, Sishui County Magistrate is here."

The magistrate of Sishui County was named Wei Shouli, a native of Qufu, Lu County. He was about thirty years old and was short and looked very funny when walking with the majestic Yuchi Gong, but he looked quite smart and capable, unlike a mediocre person.

"Secretary Wei Shouli, please see the general!" Wei Shouli bowed deeply to Zhang Xuan.

The reason why Zhang Xuan wanted to find the Sishui County Magistrate was mainly to consider temporarily placing the seized materials in the county town so that they would not affect their continued pursuit of the thief army.

"The magistrate of Wei County is exempted from gifts. How far is Sishui County Town from here?"

"About twenty miles, there is an official road outside the North Valley that leads directly to the county town."

Zhang Xuan nodded and turned to the captain Guping and said, "You bring a thousand brothers to escort prisoners of war and supplies to Sishui County first, and then deal with it when I come back!"

"Abide by the order!"

At this time, a dense sound of hoofs came from behind, and a large group of cows were slowly walking towards this side. It was the group of running bulls just now, but they had no violent rage of being caught in the arrow, and they became as docile as usual, and they all seemed a little exhausted.

Following the cattle group, dozens of cavalrymen were Chen Xu, who came forward to salute Zhang Xuan and said, "Report to General Qi, these cattle are tired of running, so they scattered in the fields to eat grass. General Pei asked Bei Yi to drive them back."

"Where is General Pei?" Zhang Xuan asked anxiously.

"He led the rest of his brothers to continue chasing, and he would probably chase them all the way to Mount Chao."

Zhang Xuan suddenly became a little worried. He knew Pei Xingyan very well. Pei Xingyan was extremely stubborn and would never give up until he achieved his goal. He was worried that Pei Xingyan would be ambushed by the bandits' army. Zhang Xuan immediately ordered: "The army gathers immediately and prepares to set off!"

The soldiers quickly assembled, and Zhang Xuan said to the captain Gupinghe County Magistrate Wei Shouli: "I will hand over the materials and prisoners of war to you. I will deal with it when I come back!"

The two of them quickly agreed, and Zhang Xuan led 7,000 soldiers to leave the valley quickly, headed to the official road, and ran quickly towards the anti-sea mountain.

Fangshan is a mountain about ten miles away from Qufu. It has more than a dozen hills, about fifty miles in a radius, with high mountains and dense forests, and very complex terrain. The mountains are full of gullies and ravines, which can hide hundreds of thousands of troops. Since Wang Bo took this place as his new base, the village has expanded rapidly, and buildings have been built one by one, and a large amount of food and food resources have been hoarded here.

Wang Boyuan thought that Zhang Xuan would stop after occupying Langya County, so he turned to Lu County and re-established the foundation here, but he forgot that Lu County also belongs to Qingzhou. How could Zhang Xuan easily establish his foundation in Lu County? Zhang Xuan came to chase him without hesitation.

At this time, Wang Bo had already understood that he had made a big mistake and that he should have established a foundation in Dongping County. In that way, Zhang Xuan might let him go. He complained and ran away desperately.

But the Sui cavalry behind them were chasing them. Within one mile, Wang Bo was so anxious that he kept looking back. He felt that the other party was chasing him closer and he ran nearly a hundred miles in one breath. It was already noon, and there was a fork in front of him. Wang Bo and his soldiers were exhausted, but the Sui army's horses were indeed strong and powerful. If they continued like this, they would be caught up after a few more miles, but they were still twenty miles away from the Fangshan.

Wang Bo's eyes turned and shouted to Xu Shunming: "I want to continue running forward, Shunming will attract them!"

This is indeed the only way, Xu Shunming shouted, "Everyone comes with me!"

Xu Shunming led more than 60 subordinates into the path and rushed towards the north of the Anti-Shan Mountain.

Wang Bomeng whipped the war horse, rushed through the fork with more than a dozen other personal soldiers, and continued to flee westward, that is, to flee to Qufu County.

In just a moment, Pei Xingyan led more than 300 cavalrymen to come. Their war horses were stronger than the bandit army. Although the war horses were equally tired, they could still run.

When he rushed to the fork road, Pei Xingyan held down his war horses. He saw a large group of cavalry heading north from a distance, "Where is the lead here?" Pei Xingyan pointed to the path.

"General, there is the way to Mount Fang!"

"What about the front?" Pei Xingyan pointed forward again.

"The front leads to Qufu County!"

Pei Xingyan pondered for a moment, then turned his horse's head and ran north. He thought that Wang Bo was most likely to escape to his nest.

After running for another quarter of an hour, they gradually caught up with Wang Bo's cavalry. Pei Xingyan took a bow and took an arrow, and shot an arrow at the head while running.

The leader of the bandit general was shot in the back by an arrow, screamed and fell off his horse. The personal soldiers around him turned their horses and waved their swords to fight at the Sui army. Pei Xingyan waved his long spear and was unstoppable. He killed the thief cavalry and overturned the horses. He instantly overturned more than 20 people, and the rest of the bandits were surrounded by the Sui cavalry.

Pei Xingyan rushed to the leader of the bandit army. Although he had never seen Wang Bo, he knew that Wang Bo was a thin black man in his fifties and a literati. The man in front of him was only over thirty years old and very strong, obviously not Wang Bo.

Pei Xingyan suddenly realized that he was chasing the wrong direction, and Wang Bo must have escaped towards Qufu County just now.

He was immediately angry and anxious, and pressed the spear tip against the other person's chest and shouted, "Who are you?"

"Let me be Xu Shunming!"

Xu Shunming was shot in the back of the heart by an arrow, and was already dying. He forced a smile: "It's worth it to use my life to exchange for my lord's escape!"

Pei Xingyan was furious, "Go to die!" He roared and pierced Xu Shunming's chest with a spear.

The rest of Wang Bo's personal soldiers were all killed by the Sui army, and everyone was quietly waiting for Pei Xingyan's order.
