Chapter 46: Fight Him
Early in the morning, on the official road.
A group of teenagers were trotting with spears, and the sound of footsteps startled the birds in the forest, and they fluttered their wings and flew into the sky.
"Stop!"
With a shout, the team suddenly stopped.
Three hundred young men laid down their spears one after another, and pestles on the ground, gasping, and a dozen mules and horses also snorted.
Apparently exhausted.
"Childe, why did you stop?"
After a night of turbulence, Mrs. Li's face was very pale, but she still cheered up and asked Qin Yu who was not far away.
"Ma'am, how far is it from the trail?"
Qin Yu looked at the Heavenly Wolf Village not far away, and did not answer the rhetorical question.
In the middle of the night, they ran fifty miles, barely resting for a moment.
"There should be more than twenty miles, what's wrong with Childe?"
"That's bad, with our current state, it will take at least half an hour for more than twenty miles, but sixty or seventy miles, the cavalry really let go, I'm afraid it won't take half an hour, so if we continue to run, it is very likely that we will be caught up by the cavalry before we turn into the mountain road."
Qin Yu said in a deep voice, he didn't believe that the Eight Great Kings would let him go so easily, even if the Eight Great Kings were willing to let him go, then Sun Kewang would never give up.
"What then?" Mrs. Li thought about it, her face also changed greatly, and she asked anxiously.
The conversation between the two was also heard by the teenagers around them, and at this time, almost everyone guessed what was going on, and they all looked at Qin Yu nervously.
"It looks like we can only fight one game and then leave."
Qin Yu turned over, jumped off the horse, raised his hands again, and helped her off the horse.
"What? Beat... Fight? ”
As soon as Mrs. Li landed, she said in a trembling voice.
"Yes, the battalions add up to a maximum of three hundred horsemen, and we still have more than three hundred people, and the terrain here is quite favorable to us, and the odds of victory are still very great."
Qin Yu nodded, the other party would definitely send all the cavalry if he wanted to chase him, and the reason why he stopped here was because the terrain here was not conducive to cavalry charging and killing.
On the inner side of the official road is a hillside, which is not very steep but overgrown with shrubs and thorns, while on the outside is a large area of fertile fields, and the Han River is not far away.
The key is that the official road is nearly two meters higher than the good field, and it is still a paddy field, so as long as you choose the narrowest part of the road to line up, you may not be able to stop the other party.
Although he did not want to fight this battle, he had to do it, because if he continued to run, there was a good chance that they would be overtaken by the cavalry when they were exhausted.
And if you choose to fight, you can rest and eat on the spot, but on the contrary, the other party is galloping all the way.
Of course, if you go to the Heavenly Wolf Village, you can also not be afraid of the opponent's cavalry, but that is the place of death, when the opponent's cavalry comes, you only need to block it under the mountain, and then transfer a large army to come, there is absolutely no life, so even if you swim across the Han River, Qin Yu will never go to the Heavenly Wolf Village.
Qin Yu didn't care about Mrs. Li, but stepped up a hillside on the inside, and only after everyone looked over, did he say loudly:
"Brothers, I think everyone has guessed that I want to break away from the righteous army, yes, the eight kings can't listen to the advice, and insist on crossing the river to fight Zuo Liangyu, I don't want the brothers to die in vain, so I can only take everyone to find another way, I won't say much, if you don't want to follow me, you can leave now, I will not be reluctant."
Qin Yu crossed his waist with one hand, and danced while talking with the other, the red cloak had already been soaked with dew, and the treasure knife tied around his waist also clanged, at first glance, there was really a style of the leader of the peasant army, just a straw hat of the Ming army.
The teenagers were silent, obviously they hadn't reacted for a while, but Li Wan'er, who had just been helped off the horse by Mrs. Li, looked at Qin Yu stupidly, and Mrs. Li was also shocked when she saw it.
"Chief, if it weren't for you, we would have starved to death, and wherever you go, we'll follow you, but where are we going?"
"Yes, chief, I heard that there are officers and soldiers everywhere near Gucheng, if we go like this, will we bump into the officers and soldiers?"
The teenagers are not stupid, who will treat them as henchmen except Qin Yu?
Who will still make clothes for them?
Let them eat every day and teach them to read and write?
After I go back, I'm afraid that they will still be sparse every day, and they will be cannon fodder during the war, and the other leaders will not ask them to be their henchmen and personal guards, at most they will be ordinary rebels, so almost no one wants to leave.
Although he had expected it a long time ago, Qin Yu was still very relieved in his heart.
Hurriedly said loudly: "Brothers, don't worry, Mrs. Li knows that there is a small road leading to Nanzhang, which can avoid the officials and soldiers, and we will be safe when we arrive in Nanzhang, and Huguang is so rich that it will be oily, not to mention eating wine and drinking meat, with the spears in the hands of Lao Tzu, it is not a problem for everyone to ask for a mother-in-law." ”
"Chief, really?"
"Can we really please the mother-in-law?"
As soon as the teenagers heard about begging for a mother-in-law, their eyes lit up, and they were no longer as worried as before.
After all, their biggest expectation in the past was to live, to be able to eat enough every day, and to please their mother-in-law was something they couldn't even think of, but in the past two months, they never doubted Qin Yu's words.
"Of course it's true, but if you want to go to Huguang smoothly, you must go through the food in the future, drink spicy food, please your mother-in-law, and the last hurdle..."
Qin Yu waved his hand and explained that there might be chasing soldiers.
At this moment, the teenagers' emotions have been mobilized, and their eyes are full of yearning for a better future, so they are all fighting spirits, and everyone is clenching the guns in their hands.
Qin Yu didn't delay, and immediately ordered to rest on the spot and eat dry food.
Then he asked the two brothers and ten apprentices of Dazhu, with the mother and daughter, to lead the war horse to the front to hide.
Of course, more than a hundred gunpowder canisters were unloaded.
After eating the dry food, when the teenagers were almost rested, they chose the narrowest part of the place to prepare for the battle.
After losing more than 30 people last time, Qin Yu cut the tenth squad and added five more people from the iron-striking apprentices, so that the remaining nine teams reached full strength, with a total of 270 people.
At this time, Qin Tie took thirty members of the personal guards, climbed the inner hillside, hid in the bushes, and each carried three gunpowder canisters.
The remaining 240 people, 120 in the front and 120 in the front, were only spaced five meters apart in between, so that the Qin leader could ride on his horse and command.
Looking at the seven or eight meters wide official road in front of him, as well as the six or seven meters of grass that grew from the extension of the official road, Qin Yu thought about it, and still ordered people to dig two big pits, and buried a few gunpowder canisters in each.
"Mother, what if Brother Xiaoyu is defeated?" Li Wan'er was still young after all, and she said tremblingly while nibbling on the flatbread.
On the side, the two brothers and the twenty apprentices, although they were better, were also nervous to death, and they were all worried.
This is the difference between being on the battlefield and really fighting, and just playing soy sauce.
"No, although the son is young, his ability is extraordinary, my mother believes that he will definitely win!"
Mrs. Li said with an affirmative face, as if she was comforting them and herself.
(Thank you Prince Bai Yu and your book friend for the reward, and at the same time congratulate Brother Bai Yu for becoming the first apprentice of this book, thank you very much for your continued support, I hope to keep up the good work!) Take a bow. )
