Chapter Forty-Six: No Way to Return to Heaven

The wind was cold, the war horses were galloping, and the snow slag hit the face like a knife cut. A sudden strong wind blew away the goose feather snow, and only a few stubbles of snow stubble blew off with the wind.

"After the front of Bandi is Shaanzhou, brothers work hard!"

Facing the wind, Qin Jin's voice was a little hoarse. The physical strength of the war horses was seriously overdrawn, and the cavalry repeatedly whipped and urged, but not only did the speed not increase, but several war horses fell to the ground. Immediately, the cavalry was caught off guard and plunged headlong into the snow without a sound.

"Smoke, smoke!"

I don't know who shouted first, but I saw clouds of smoke gathering in the distant sky, although the sky was cloudy, but the thick black was still particularly dazzling. Qin Jin's heart suddenly sank, and the ominous premonition suddenly made his whole body cold.

Without seeing it with his own eyes, Qin Jin still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, not believing that what he had been worried about suddenly turned true, maybe it was impossible to say where the fire was.

After walking for about half an hour, there were groups of three or five routs coming west along the post road, colliding head-on with Qin Jin's headquarters. At first, they were very nervous, thinking that they had encountered the rebel rangers, but the Tongluo cavalry, who was in charge of guarding the perimeter, outflanked them, and after a few moments, they drove away hundreds of people.

When these people saw the armor of the cavalry of the Tongluo tribe, they immediately knelt on the ground one after another, trembling, and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Wuhu Huaizhong was extremely puzzled, and personally pulled one over and asked, "Who do you belong to, and what are you doing here?"

The rout soldier who was picked up had never seen a tall and powerful beard like Wuhu Huaizhong, and he was immediately frightened that he was so frightened that he was incontinent, and his mouth was even more indistinct, and he couldn't tell what he said at all.

Wu Hu Huaizhong felt very angry, so he slammed the man to the ground, pointed at the other and shouted, "You say!"

"The general spares his life! We escaped from Shaanzhou, and we want to join the rebels. ”

Xu is also so frightened that his brain stiffened, and he actually said what he thought in his heart, and Wu Hu Huaizhong laughed when he heard it.

"What are you doing to join the rebels?"

The rout who woke up like a dream was so frightened that he sobbed his mouth again and again, "The villain should be damned, damned, yes, yes...... Heavenly Soldiers. ”

"Open your dog's eyes and see, this is the history of the magistrate of Hongnong, are you tired of saying that you want to join the rebels?"

Wuhu Huaizhong stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Jin, who was rushing behind him, and scolded coldly.

The defeated soldiers had thought that these Hu Er in armor in the north were actually subordinates of the magistrate of Hongnong County, and they were even more frightened and didn't know what to say, so they only kept begging for mercy. Seeing the submissive people in front of him, Qin Jin felt a burst of anger, and he could hear the conversation between the two people just now, could it be that these were the Tang Army of Shaanxi County?

After finding a person with a clear brain and articulate for a while, Qin Jin's heart was like an abyss, and he didn't know where to fall!

"Doctor Gao burned the Taiyuan warehouse and crossed the Yellow River with the army!"

A team was being pushed out by the soldiers, and he briefly recounted what he knew.

"I, I also listened to what the captain said, the doctor learned in the morning that the 30,000 people who rescued Shaanxi County were all wiped out, so he immediately made a decision, overrode public opinion, burned Taiyuan Cang, and crossed the Yellow River with the main force!

"Why don't you cross the river with the doctor?"

After the initial shock, anger and disappointment, Qin Jin only asked a question without a head.

The team also knew that deserters were shameful, so they bowed their heads and were speechless. At this time, Zheng Xianli, who had been broken, rushed up, and was listening clearly to the conversation between Qin Jin and the routed army, so he said angrily: "The deserters will be beheaded according to military law, why is Shaofujun still hesitating?"

Qin Jin wanted to cut down all these routs who had escaped from the battle one by one, but looking at it, the groups of routs turned the woodland in front of them and fled over. Even if you kill all these deserters, will you be able to help the situation in the slightest?

"The generalissimo has taken the lead in escaping, why don't you let us escape?"

This sentence made Zheng Xianli stunned for a moment, and then he angrily reprimanded: "Who said stand up!"

More than 100 defeated soldiers were silent, for fear that this strong man who would kill at every turn would pull out and wipe his neck with a knife.

Seeing that there were more and more routs, getting closer and closer, it was not a matter of letting them go west to Yuzhou. Whether he surrendered to the enemy or was killed, it was something that Qin Jin didn't want to see, so he asked Wuhu Huaizhong to drive and collect these routs in the name of his own Hongnong County Magistrate Shi who had not yet arrived.

The three or five hundred Hu soldiers of the same Luo Department did have a deterrent effect, just like driving a flock of sheep, cruising around on horseback, driving the deserters from the direction of Shaanzhou to gather in one place.

As the deserters who were driven away gathered more and more, Qin Jin gradually couldn't hold his breath, if it was three or five hundred deserters, it would be fine, but looking at the scale in front of him, it was far more than a thousand. I really don't know how Gao Xianzhi fought the soldiers, and there would be many deserters under the command of the famous general.

Soon, among the deserters, men on horseback in iron armor appeared. Those who can wear iron armor among foot soldiers and are qualified to ride horses must at least be officers above the brigade rate, so Qin Jin ordered someone to pull out all the deserters wearing iron armor.

Seeing that this group of fierce cavalry was focusing on people wearing iron armor and riding horses, some of the deserters who reacted quickly began to take off their iron armor and abandon their horses. Some of the deserters did not intend to let go of these people, and called on so-and-so to take off his iron armor and abandon his war horse, intending to pass the test in confusion.

In the end, those people did not escape arrest.

"What kind of position do you hold in the army, report them one by one, you can not die!"

Originally, these people in the army thought that they would not be able to escape death, but when they heard that they could not die, they came to the spirit one after another.

"I'm a brigade!"

"I'm a school captain!"

In the meantime, there are still people who pretend to be official positions and are exposed in public, and some people even think that it is the Fanhu rebels who captured them alive, and they continue to chant Buddha to An Lushan to forgive, all kinds of ugliness is really unbearable, if the Tang army is this kind of fish-eyed people, it is not very strange that the army is defeated like a mountain. Zheng Xianli has been in the border army for a long time, and the Tang army he saw was all people who dared to fight. It wasn't until he went to Luoyang with Feng Changqing that he was shocked to realize that the Tang army in Guannai had been so corrupted, and it was all this kind of broken skin.

These people are not much worse than the unity soldiers in Xin'an.

Qin Jin had a gloomy face, "A certain is the history of the magistrate of Hongnong County!" After a snort, everyone suddenly quieted down.

Isn't Hongnong County already surrounded by rebels? A moment later, Qin Jin's words attracted a burst of whispers.

"The Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty has learned of the siege of Hongnong, and the reinforcements will arrive soon, and now the rebels of Cui Qianyou's department have burned grain and grass and can't hold on for a few days. You just have to go back to Shaanxi County......"

Qin Jin's words did not convince these people, and they all slandered in their hearts, Gao Xianzhi, as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, burned Taiyuan Cang and fled to the east of the Yellow River to the north, and the long history of a county was unashamedly professed to burn the grain and grass of the rebels, which was really ridiculous, if this was the case, why did the generalissimo send Li Chengguang to lead 30,000 troops to rescue Yuzhou, and finally the whole army was wiped out?

Everyone was silent, and no one was willing to speak first to respond to Qin Jin's appeal.

Finally, someone couldn't help but jump out, "It's not that we don't want to go back, Doctor Gao can't stop the rebels, why should Chang Shijun let us go back and die?"

With the lead, the routs began to move, shouting that they would go back and die, it was better to die here. They felt that civil officials were kind-hearted and would not kill people easily. Besides, isn't there still a way not to blame the public? There are thousands of defeated soldiers here, is it possible that they have all been killed?

The market dealers recruited in the Tang army were so unbearable, far beyond Qin Jin's imagination. He sneered twice, not letting these scoundrels in the market see blood, and said that he could get away with it.

"The fugitives will be the first to behead the generals, and these captains and brigade leaders in iron armor will be punished on the spot!"

Zheng Xianli was impatient for a long time, and even if he wanted to make a move, he rushed over with someone.

Qin Jin said again: "Slow down, use a heavy crossbow, shoot and kill, no one will be left!"

Hearing this rare cruel tone, Zheng Xianli was stunned for a moment, and then ordered the crossbowmen in the army to prepare a salvo. At this time, those captains and brigade commanders were shocked to realize that this seemingly bookish long history in front of them was really going to kill the killer, some people panicked, and some people wanted to take the opportunity to encourage the rout.

After all, there are thousands of defeated soldiers, and there may be more than a thousand, on the other hand, there are only seven or eight hundred of Qin Changshi's subordinates, and they should still have the strength to fight.

Soon, those fugitives with evil intentions got the lesson they deserved, but it was too late to regret it, the sound of the crossbow breaking through the air swished, and the howl like killing pigs rose violently, and there was nothing they could do but watch others and their own crossbow arrows fall to the ground

"Changshi Jun spares his life!"

"Spare your life!"

After discovering that the resistance was futile, these brigade leaders and lieutenants actually begged for mercy again.

Qin Jin's heart was cold, and it was difficult for Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing to lead more than 100,000 or 200,000 such slippery skins, and they could win the battle, that would be the hell!

In a few moments, there was not a single one of the dozens of lieutenants and brigade leaders left, and all of them were killed by heavy crossbow shots.

This kind of one-sided slaughter, the thousands of defeated soldiers were stupid, gathered on the periphery to try to escape, Wuhu Huaizhong shouted twice, and immediately a team of cavalry with Luo was copied up, three or two chopped melons and vegetables, and they were all cleaned up.

Seeing this scene, who dared to run away at the risk of losing their heads, they all squatted honestly in place, not daring to move, for fear that these beards would make a mistake and kill their lives. Although they have shouted before, it is better to die here than to go back to die. But that's just talk, once they are asked to die immediately, they will be revealed one by one!

The rout was still coming west from the direction of Shaanzhou, so Qin Jin and the others stopped less than thirty miles away from Shaanzhou City to intercept the rout. However, in half an hour's effort, there were already five or six thousand of them. In addition to being frightened, Qin Jin also changed his original plan, counting on using these people to deal with Cui Qianyou, it is better to expect the pig to go up the tree.
