Chapter Seventy-Six: The Mountains and Rivers Are Exhausted
East County North, Eping County.
In the vast forest, seven horses were suddenly tethered, and there were several blood marks on the horses, and the sun was blazing, and the horses snorted irritably.
Xu Huang, who was wearing a yellow scarf, glanced at Ma Yue lying on the ground worriedly, since last night, Ma Yue had a cold wind, and his whole body was hot and scary, they couldn't continue to run, Ma Yue needed a doctor, he needed a medicine stone, and he couldn't drag it out any longer.
There is a settlement not far away, Yan Xing has already gone to ask for a doctor, and he hasn't come back for a long time, Xu Huang is a little anxious, and said to his subordinates beside him: "Da Lang, go and see why Yan Ming hasn't come back yet." ”
Liu Da nodded, ran out and turned back to Xu Huang after only a few steps, "I'm back, Yan Junhou is back." ”
On the official road, Yan Xing led the ox cart and hurried towards this side, on the ox cart sat an old man with a medicine box on his back, it seemed that Yan Xing had invited a doctor, Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
There were only seven of them left, two days ago they got rid of the pursuers who were chasing them but lost their way in the forest, and when they came out, they had entered the realm of Eping Land, they went in the wrong direction, there was no answer, there were no reinforcements, only seven people ran out with a horse that did not know whether they were alive or dead, in order to avoid being discovered by the Yellow Turban believers again, they all tied up the Yellow Turban.
The healer got out of the ox cart and hurriedly tore Ma Yue's leather armor to heal the wounds, the external injuries on Ma Yue's body had been roughly treated by Yan Xing and others, only the arrow behind him had not been pulled out until now because it had penetrated too deeply.
The healer touched the position of Ma Yue's arrow a few times, and said with a sigh of relief: "You are lucky that you didn't hurt your internal organs. Come...... Give the old man a hand. ”
With the help of Yan Xing, the doctor took out the arrow behind Ma Yue, smeared the wound medicine, and then looked at all the wounds all over his body. Why so many wounds? ”
Yan Xing and Xu Huang glanced at each other and said, "Yes, in order to protect Qu Shuai, we were besieged by the Han army. Alas, old man, will our leader survive? ”
After the medicine was applied and the bandaging was completed, the old man lifted the medicine box and sighed, shook his head and said: "It's all up to him, you might as well go to Eping City to find a doctor to live in first, the old man is a doctor in the township, alas, the strong man is injured too much, and only the general of Tiangong can bring him back to life in person." ”
Although he couldn't get a positive answer, Yan Xing still took out a string of big money in his arms and stuffed it into the old man's hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle, thank you." ”
The healer took two steps, thought about it and left a jar of herbs, shook his head at Yan Xing and said, "If he is lucky enough, he may be able to survive until the change of dressing......
With that, the healer looked at it and left without looking back.
A few people were left standing and staring at each other, full of worry.
When the old doctor drove the ox cart away, Xu Huang tilted his head, Liu Da hurriedly nodded and hunched his body and ran to the small mound of dirt under the tree behind him, dug it twice, and took out a small package and put it on the horse. Xu Huang sighed and said to Yan Xing, "Let's get ready to leave, the sun is about to set." ”
These days, they are like lost dogs, the entire north bank of Dongjun is full of Yellow Turban believers, and there are thousands of dead Qu Shuai crazy Yellow Turban troops near Liao County who are about to rummage all over Luobei to find them. They miss Lonan so much.
"Let's go." Yan Xing nodded, licked his dry lips, and said to Xu Huang: "I inquired in the township, the river bank is in the south, and the south is over there...... Let's not take the official road, just walk in this direction and pass through the forest, which is safe and easy to hide. ”
Touching his stomach, Yan Xing took a bow and arrow from his horse and asked Liu Da and several other sergeants, "Can you shoot arrows?" ”
Liu Da nodded, several other soldiers shook their heads, Yan Xing stuffed the bow and arrow into Liu Da's arms, and said to everyone weakly: "Go and fight something." Who has money on them? ”
The last bit of money on Yan Xing's body was given to the medical craftsman, and there was no more money on him.
Xu Huang and a few soldiers shook their heads, they came out knowing that they might not be able to go back alive, who would bring money to them?
Looking at the backs of several soldiers beating their horses and leaving, Yan Xing sighed, he was trapped in the enemy formation, lacking soldiers and short armor, and suffered heavy casualties.
Is there anything worse than that?
Squatting down, Xu Huang carried Ma Yue to Yan Xing's back, led the two horses, and walked slowly in the forest, they still had a long way to go.
……
Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, lofty mountains and mountains are all over it.
In the col, Peng Tuo plucked a green fruit from the tree and stuffed it into his mouth, and He Man walked around in a circle anxiously, his overlapping dark circles and pale face revealing his uneasiness.
The Han army that pursued them was led by a cavalry lieutenant, and I heard that his name was Cao Cao.
The subordinate asked Peng Tuo, "Qu Shuai, I thought that fighting a war is a battle between the two armies, that is, to set up a position and rush over, and if you can fight, you will cut hard, and if you can't fight, you will run desperately, how can you run while fighting and leaving so many traps, isn't this worrying about the Han army?" ”
He Man on the side gnawed on the blades of grass and scolded: "It's good to worry about them to death." ”
Peng Tuo recalled: "When I was in Liangzhou...... There's an old friend who's just like that, and I just learned a little from him. ”
The subordinate asked, "Qu Shuai, are you from Liangzhou?" Liangzhou is not white, snowflakes all year round. ”
"There is no place where there are snowflakes all year round." Peng Tuo chuckled lightly and was stunned for a long time before he said: "It's only been half a year since I left, and I can't remember what Liangzhou looks like." ”
Can't remember anything in Liangzhou? Do you can't remember the simple herdsmen in Liangzhou, or can't you remember the Han soldiers who used to eat and sleep together under their hands? Still can't remember what Ma Yue looks like?
I can't remember...... I used to be a Han soldier.
"Liangzhou is not full of snow, Liangzhou is just a little colder than the Central Plains in winter, and a little hotter than here in summer. Liangzhou is a good place. With a wry smile, he asked the soldiers beside him, "Chen Zhong, where are you from?" ”
The pawn known as Chen Zhong smiled and said: "I, I'm from Jingzhou, is there no bad wealthy family in Qu Shuai Liangzhou, Liangzhou is colder than here, so don't freeze to death?" The wealthy don't want to go there. ”
Peng Tuo shook his head and said with memories: "Liangzhou, there are also wealthy families, but they are not bad. I haven't seen anyone else, but I've seen a stabbing history who doesn't understand political affairs but is good at using people, and I also know a military attache who is in charge of three counties but lives and dies with his soldiers. ”
The Yellow Turban General asked: "Qu Shuai must have been a big man in the past, and he knew the art of war and the history of assassination. ”
Peng Tuo waved his hand and said no more.
It's not that he didn't think about fighting with Cao Cao out of the mountain pass, but there are only more than 400 people around him, and there are casualties on both sides of the rushing and chasing these days, and most of Cao Cao's side are recruits, Peng Tuo's hands have changed from eight hundred to four hundred, and Cao Cao has changed from two thousand to one thousand fourteen.
But in terms of quantity, it seems that Peng Tuo is stained with light, but in fact it is not, burning, tripping, trapping horses, guerrillas, Peng Tuo made all the tricks learned from Ma Yue in the First War of the Northland, he has not read any military books, does not know how to arrange troops, and his brothers were all killed by Cao Cao in the actual battle.
Cao Cao is different, the orthodox military formation, the pursuit at the beginning of the back road left by Peng Tuo suffered a lot, it was a fire and a trap, once Cao Cao was anxious, more than half of the more than 500 people lost were set on fire by Peng Tuo along the valley, but the more Cao Cao dealt with guerrilla warfare in the future, the more experienced he was in dealing with guerrilla warfare, and the rear hand left behind by Peng Tuo on the road to the war has now been less cheap.
"Ugh." Peng Tuo sighed, shook his head and said to He Man: "Maybe Ma Sanlang is right, the great sage and good teacher, you can't win." ”
"Huh." He Man laughed out loud and said to Peng Tuo: "What did you say, chief, you haven't heard of the battle situation in Yingchuan, Huangfu Song's old man led tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated general in Changshe to be surrounded by our generous wave of talent and Qu Shuai, Zhu Jun was beaten and retreated, the situation of the Holy Sect is very good, how can you say such a thing, let's go out and fight with the Han army cavalry captain, it's a big deal to rush to the Changshe, Qu Shuai will definitely reward me heavily, and then make a comeback to kill this class of waste!" ”
Peng Tuo shook his head and said nothing.
The commanders of the Yellow Turbans, whether they are generous or small, are just civilians who are trying to fight by themselves by being anxious and wise, so why fight with those generals who are well versed in the art of war?
"Brothers, kill with Lao Tzu!"
