Chapter 18: They all fled back
On the side of the Han River, countless rebels rushed into the river with bamboo tubes, and those who were a little slower would be cut down on the river beach by the Ming army who chased them.
The river on this bank was stained red with blood, and countless people in the river were grateful for the bamboo tube prepared by Qin Yu in advance, but the officers and soldiers who chased after them were dumbfounded......
The leader of Qin, who had taken precautions, finally went ashore wet, and fell on the river beach with a feigned face, motionless.
The other teenagers were no better, and Qin Yu and his team were the first to flee to the other side.
After resting for more than half an hour, Qin Yu got up and walked towards the city with the remnants of his defeated army.
The shore is only more than ten miles away from Gucheng, and Li Dingguo found Qin Yu and others who came back from afar, and was shocked, so he quickly opened the city gate and rushed out.
"Xiaoyu, why did you come back in such a mess?"
"What about my father-in-law and my eldest brother?"
At this moment, Qin Yu and the others were shirtless and wearing shorts, many of them were scarred, and their hair was scattered into a chicken nest, so Li Dingguo recognized Qin Yu at a glance.
"Oh, haven't they come back yet?"
There was a hint of schadenfreude in the accident.
"What the hell is going on? Did you lose the battle? ”
"Does this still need to be asked? It's not just a fucking defeat, it's like a corpse that has been killed all over the field, and the ass is urinating. ”
Qin Yu gritted his teeth, if it weren't for the bastard of the Eight Kings who didn't listen to his persuasion, how could they be like this?
Fifty spears were lost cleanly, and even the killer cannon was cheaper than the other party, but fortunately, the gunpowder only brought a hundred catties.
"We have an army of more than 30,000, and the left thief only has 10,000, how did he defeat it?"
"The ghost knows how it was defeated, anyway, in the blink of an eye, the army was defeated, if I hadn't left a lot of bamboo on the side of the Han River in advance, I would definitely not have come back this time."
Qin Yu didn't have a good airway.
Li Dingguo couldn't ask anything, and saw that they were tired and dogs one by one, so he had to ask someone to take them to rest first, and then send someone to the shore to collect the rout.
Those two hundred years were also brought back to the courtyard by Qin Yu, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, everyone was paralyzed under the eaves, and the twenty teenagers and mother and daughter who stayed behind all looked at each other.
"Childe, who are you?"
"Help me back to my room first, and I'll talk to you later."
Qin Yu waved his hand. The mother and daughter quickly helped him into the house, and then lay straight on the bed.
Seeing that his hands and feet were covered with wounds, Mrs. Li hurriedly rummaged through the room for grass medicine.
"Brother Xiaoyu, have you been defeated by the official army?"
"Why, you wish we were defeated by the official army, did you?"
Qin Yu saw that her face was happy, and the evil fire in her stomach instantly burst out, and she sat up and roared: "Eat Lao Tzu, drink Lao Tzu, and curse us to death, right?"
Do you think that Zuo Liangyu called, and you would be able to have a good life?
Tell you, the end is worse than falling into the hands of the Eight Kings. ”
"Woo woo..." Li Wan'er shook her head desperately in fright.
"Childe, Wan'er, she didn't mean that..."
"That's it!"
Qin Yu waved his hand impatiently, and didn't bother to bother with the 12-year-old girl, so he lay back on the bed again.
The mother and daughter didn't dare to speak anymore, and hugged each other from a distance, and Mrs. Li kept whispering to comfort her frightened daughter.
After comforting his daughter, he found a broken palm leaf fan, came to the bedside and sat down, and fanned it gently.
After escaping death for a day, now that he has returned to the comfortable bed, his whole body and mind have relaxed, and someone has fanned the wind to repel mosquitoes, Qin Yu almost screamed out comfortably, and he fell asleep after a while.
This sleep, I slept until dark, and it wasn't until Li Dingguo sent someone to invite Qin Yu to get up and change his clothes and head towards the county office.
When they came to the county office, Zhang Xianzhong and a group of leaders had returned, although there were many people, but many of them were stained with blood and wounds, and they had obviously just returned.
"King, brothers, you are finally back, and you are worried about me...
Major General, your hand... Is it badly injured? It doesn't matter, right? ”
"Can't die!"
Seeing that Qin Yupi hadn't lost a piece, and he was still pretending, Sun Kewang snorted coldly, and his nostrils were spewing heavily.
"Okay, although we lost the battle this time, everyone finally came back safely, Xiaoyu, this time thanks to the bamboo you prepared in advance."
Zhang Xianzhong nodded at Qin Yu, and the rest of the leaders also cast a grateful look.
"King, what about the losses of the battalions?" After Qin Yu sat down, he was concerned about how much strength the rebel army still had.
"There are more than 1,000 elites left in each battalion, and more than 10,000 young people have returned, and some should come back in the next two days, but the weapons have been lost."
Li Dingguo explained, everyone listened, and they were all like defeated roosters, drooping their heads.
"Boy, I heard that only three people died in your firearms battalion, didn't you run away before the fight started?"
Qin Yu was furious, pointed at Sun Kewang and scolded: "You don't have a fucking fart, don't you hear Lao Tzu's cannon sound on the battlefield?"
By the time I reacted, the army had already been defeated, and if it weren't for Lao Tzu's quick legs, he would have confessed to the mountain bag a long time ago..."
"Hmph, you were the first to escape back to the city with your mother's mother, and Lao Tzu didn't ride a horse as fast as you, how do you explain this?"
Sun Kewang stood up suddenly, holding back the thought of pounced and slashing Qin Yu to death.
"What's the explanation for that? You have a big horse target and are wearing armor, so you are naturally the target of the left thief's key pursuit, and my position is relatively remote, so there is no delay. ”
"Enough!"
Sun Kewang was still talking, but Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand, and when he retreated, he did hear the cannon still ringing.
"Now is not the time to pursue these, now the left thief will cross the river at any time to kill, and the officers and troops of Yunyang and Xiangyang will also arrive soon, everyone will talk about what to do!"
"King, we have suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the morale of our brothers is also very low, in my opinion, it is better to withdraw before the official army arrives."
"Yes, if the city is besieged to death by the official army, you won't be able to leave, I think you can just leave tonight."
"But the officers and soldiers occupy the avenue, and we can only take the small road if we want to go, what should we do with so much food and livestock? And the wheat on the south bank, don't you want it too? ”
"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, those things are a fart!"
For a while, the leaders in the hall were arguing, and most of them were in favor of leaving immediately.
Obviously, this time he was really scared of Zuo Liangyu's killing, and he was killed out of the psychological shadow.
Zhang Xianzhong's brows were wrinkled into dead bark, and when he saw Qin Yu sitting in the corner, he was silent, and couldn't help asking, "Xiaoyu, why don't you speak?" Let's talk about whether it's better to stay in the county seat or to walk? ”
