Chapter 569: A Little Break
Port port.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" clouds: "The water flows out of Weigaodong, and the southeast is injected into the Bohai Sea." ”
The water of the Liao River is mighty, the sea and the sky are the same color, and the distance is endless.
"Boom!"
A cannonball hit the surface of the sea, splashing countless waves.
The range of the cannons of the Cheering General of the Wuzhenha Chao Battalion was obviously farther than that of the guns on the seagoing ships, and dozens of warships were forced away from the distance, and there was obviously no possibility of docking.
The ship shook violently.
In the shaking, He Wan's body seemed to be nailed to the deck, and he ordered the ship to retreat further.
"Master Hou hasn't come yet." Luan Zhiyong stood beside He Wan and frowned, "Damn, looking at this formation, I'm afraid they won't be able to board the ship from here." ”
He Wan's eyes were far away, and the line of Qing soldiers on the coastline spread out like a long snake.
"How's it going over there in Golden State?"
"Jiannu is heavily guarded."
He Wan frowned and said, "In this way, I can only borrow Mongolia, I'm afraid it's not easy to go." ”
He gazed at the shore with great reluctance, and said to himself: "The slave chiefs have even counted here, but they are afraid that all their ways out will be blocked......
Luan Zhiyong's face became bitter.
"What then? Is it okay to say that the official is still sealed? Is the business still going on? Don't lose money on this deal......"
He Wan didn't answer, and the worry on his face became heavier.
The sea ship had been waiting here for a few days, but not a single figure of Chu Qi had been seen.
In fact, just looking at the blockade on the shore, He Wan understood that the Guanning Iron Cavalry would not come......
~~
At the same time, between the mountains east of Shenyang, near a mountain range called Dabeicha, Chu Qi was resting in the mountains and forests.
After a breakthrough battle, Qin Chengye's army of more than 10,000 people and Qin Shanhai's army of nearly 4,000 people combined, there were only about 8,000 people left, and almost all of them were injured.
The reason why Wang Xiao was able to support Qin Chengye was not because he expected things like a god, but because he was surrounded by the Qing army and had no way out, and was finally forced to the vicinity of Shenyang.
But fortunately, they are small in number, and they move between the mountains, which is much more relaxed than Qin Chengye.
He took a lot of supplies in Xingjing City, blew up the rocks with gunpowder, and threw off the pursuers behind him. He also hoarded a batch of dry food in the mountains and forests as supplies.
Because Wang Xiao knew that the more he went on, there would be fewer and fewer opportunities for local supplies.
At this time, the exhausted soldier was finally able to eat a few mouthfuls of dry food, drink a few sips of water by the spring, and then fall into a deep sleep.
The guards lay on the treetops, carefully observing the situation in the distance. The 8,000 people did not see the noise, quietly enjoying a rare rest, only the sound of snoring sounded from time to time.
Wang Xiao sat on the ground, holding a branch in his hand and paddling on the ground, as if planning a route to break through.
Qin Xiaozhu sat next to him with his face in his hands, staring at him with a pair of bright eyes all the time.
The little girl didn't have too much melancholy on her face, although she was young, she was used to seeing life and death, and she had a kind of freedom that didn't linger on everything.
After a while, Wang Xiao raised his head, his brows were still tightly locked, but he muttered to himself: "I just broke through once, and the encirclement should not have closed yet......"
Qin Xiaozhu turned around and picked up a small piece of roasted roe deer meat behind him and handed it to him.
"Eat quickly, everyone ate just now, but you haven't eaten yet, I'm watching."
"Why do you still hide a piece, it's not like words."
"What happened to the roe deer I hit, hiding a piece." Qin Xiaozhu almost scolded Niang Xipi again.
Wang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't go into battle to fight, and my physical strength was less, so give them a share." ”
Qin Xiaozhu wrinkled his nose and said dissatisfiedly: "That's it, what else is there to score?" ”
Wang Xiao didn't push back, took it and took a bite, and continued to bow his head and draw the route on the ground and meditate.
When he looked up again, he saw that Qin Xiaozhu was still staring at him very seriously, and his eyes were very different.
"What? Want to eat? ”
He shook the skewer of barbecue in his hand and handed it to Qin Xiaozhu.
Qin Xiaozhu was slightly stunned, and then took a bite on it, which turned out to be a rare and delicate food.
The two of them ate one bite at a time.
After kissing each other, Wang Xiao didn't care much about such small details, but Qin Xiaozhu bent his eyebrows and peeked at him from time to time.
Not far away, Qin Shanqu, who was sleeping, suddenly shouted: "Robbed Da Yu'er!" ”
The two were startled, Qin Xiaozhu became a little annoyed, picked up a small stone and threw it on Qin Shanqu.
Qin Shanqu wiped the saliva on his mouth, turned over and snored loudly.
Wang Xiao looked at this scene, and wanted to laugh for a moment, but he couldn't.
This time, Qin Chengye and Qin Shanhai met again, and the first thing he said when he asked about Jinzhou City was: "How is Shouren doing?" He's young and has a lot to do, and he still needs to be sharpened......"
At that time, Qin Shanhai was silent for a while, but in the end he could only reply: "He's okay." ”
Qin Shanhai couldn't say all the words on his lips, but Qin Shanqu didn't know that his son Qin Xuangong was dead......
The Qin family will always be a big grin, but it is not how well they are doing. There are joys, sorrows, sorrows, life and death in the world, and they also have to bear it.
Thinking like this, Wang Xiao felt that he couldn't stand the Qin family.
He promised Qin Chengye peace and prosperity to the Qin family and the Guanning Tieqi family, and both parties knew that it was just a gamble.
He laughed at whether he could be preserved or not, so how could he talk about asylum?
For this gamble with an unknown result, he, Qin Chengye, really gave away countless blood and heads.
Wang Xiao originally came to Liaodong, and what he wanted was to let the Guanning Iron Cavalry fight with the Eight Banner Knights to offset the combat power of the Qing army. The purpose is to exchange a gun for a car on a chessboard.
By now, that goal had been achieved, but he had changed his mind.
He wanted these people to go back alive...... It's a pity it's late.
Sometimes he asks himself, "Why are you a chess player and use others as pawns?" ”
……
"What are you thinking?"
Qin Xiaozhu stretched out his hand and gently tapped on Wang Xiao's shoulder, and asked, "Have you thought of a way?" ”
Wang Xiao came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "There is no way, a large group of people can't escape." The gap in strength is too big, and Huang Taiji is too powerful. ”
Qin Xiaozhu let out an "oh" and said indifferently: "Then we will die here together......
- Your Tang Qianqian and Ying'er can't die with you, it's me Qin Xiaozhu who dies with you, hehe......
Before the words were finished, Wang Xiao suddenly reached out and took her in his arms.
This time it was extremely sudden, and Qin Xiaozhu was stunned.
Wang Xiao's body has long lost the original good smell of soap, and his hair is stained with the smell of blood, medicine, and a trace of ...... Horse manure smell.
But she suddenly blushed and became a little at a loss.
"You...... You...... What are you doing? ”
The next moment, someone knocked her on the back of the neck, and she fainted.
Behind her, Qin Chengye flashed out.
Wang Xiao hugged Qin Xiaozhu in his arms and stroked the back of her head quite gently.
"Old man, you should be lighter."
Qin Chengye wanted to tell him not to touch his granddaughter, but at this time, he was sued by his wicked first, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Hey, you little bunny......"
~~
After a while, Qin Shanshui and Dong Jihe led five hundred people to turn over and get on their horses, all dressed in yellow flag armor.
In the team, Qin Xuanming, Qin Xuance, and Qin Xuanshu, the younger generation of the Qin family's children were among them, with a reluctant look.
"Grandfather, we don't want to go ......"
"Shut up!"
They were helpless, so they took their eyes to see Wang Xiao.
Wang smiled: "I have told you everything that should be said, this is what I have agreed with Qin Zongrong, don't let down Qin Zongrong's hard work, and don't embarrass me." This is a military order, don't be discouraged. ”
As he spoke, he carefully put Qin Xiaozhu on his horse, and said to Qin Xuance: "You can wake her up when you get out of this mountain forest, don't let her run away again." In the future...... Take good care of her. ”
Qin Xuandao's eyes were red, and he was about to speak again: "Wang Xiao, I ......"
Wang Xiao frowned, and his face was already awe-inspiring.
"Enough! Don't give it to my mother-in-law again! ”
This shout was not loud, but it was extremely powerful, Qin Xuance was stunned for a moment, and responded dejectedly.
Wang Xiao took out the token of Curb Pilon from his bosom and handed it to Dong Jihe, and explained: "You continue to go east, hide for two days, wait for us to fight with Jiannu, and then bypass Kaiyuan to the north." Here is the road map ......"
Dong Jihe sighed and stretched out his hand to take it.
Wang Xiao said to Qin Shan again: "Remember, this time I didn't let you escape. It is for you to keep the roots of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, if you can go back alive, the system of the Guanning Iron Cavalry will still be there, and the Qin family in Liaodong will still be there......"
~~
A small group of cavalry went far away, disappearing between the mountains and forests.
Wang Xiao and Qin Chengye stood there side by side and watched for a long time.
"Can they get away?" Qin Chengye asked.
In front of Wang Xiao, he no longer concealed his aging and exhaustion, and his voice was hoarse and weak.
"Yes." Wang smiled and responded.
……
In the darkness of the night, 8,000 men and horses left the mountain forest after a modest rest.
At dawn, the Qing army stepped on this woodland.
"They've been here for ......"
"Chase!"
