Chapter 143: The Dog Jumps Over the Wall

Zuo Liang is worthy of being a battle-hardened veteran, and his reaction is called fast.

After returning to the camp, he immediately abandoned all bulky items and ran backwards with an army of more than 10,000.

And Liu Guoneng at the front is not bad, he simply took more than a thousand soldiers and horses to drill into the deep mountains and old forests, and the people who wanted him to break into the back of the Heavenly Palace had not yet been born.

Only Qin Ming in the middle was still convening the generals to discuss and prepare for an orderly retreat.

It wasn't until he found out that Liu Guoneng and Zuo Liangyu had run away that he realized how serious the problem was and began to panic.

The commander-in-chief was panicked, and the soldiers under his command could be imagined, not to mention that at this time, the news of Fang County's sneak attack by the thief army had spread, and the entire army's heart was in chaos.

On the mountain pass, looking at the chaotic and retreating officers and soldiers below, Qin Yu shook his head with a sigh.

Before he could make a move, the other party was in a mess, which shows that grain and grass are really the lifeblood of a large army.

However, in his opinion, the other party's reaction was still too unbearable, and it can be seen that the Ming army is not only the guards, but also the so-called field army.

It is not surprising that an army like this, which fell into chaos as soon as the wind blows, had tens or even millions of empty air, and in the end could not defeat the Qing army, which was only a few tens of thousands.

I heard that in the battle of Songshan in history, the Ming Dynasty raised the strength of the country, and the commander of Hong Chengchou gathered the general army of the eight towns, and hundreds of thousands of elite border troops, wanting to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army.

As a result, the grain and grass were also taken away by the Qing army, which led to the so-called hundreds of thousands of elites falling apart overnight, fleeing for their lives, and the ugliness was exhausted.

Looking at the scene below, Qin Yu was even more determined to build an army that could both attack and retreat.

"Brothers, the officers and soldiers have fled, let me rush down, kill them without leaving a piece of armor, kill them!"

Emotion is emotion, but Qin Yu still pulled out his waist knife and shouted.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

Niu Er took more than 5,000 heroes and heroes, like a tiger descending the mountain, howling and rushing down the hillside.

Qin Yu followed behind without hurrying with the third infantry battalion, the personal guard battalion, and the two musket battalions.

Wang Daniu led the 2nd Infantry Battalion and other firearm battalions and logistics personnel to stay in the county seat.

The mountain road is so wide, and at this moment, Qin Ming's more than 10,000 troops have no intention of fighting, and they are all running wildly.

The front didn't care about the life and death of the back, and only wanted to escape, but when the pursuers were approaching, they had to climb the slope and drill the forest to escape.

The army of more than 10,000 people ran away and there were fewer and fewer people, and when it got dark, there were only more than 2,000 people left around Qin Ming.

In fact, very few people were caught up and killed, and most of them fled for their lives in the forest.

The situation of the left commander in front was much better, and the battalions could barely keep it in order, and only a few hundred people were lost.

"Left... General Zuo, this place is not too narrow, why not fight the thief army here? ”

Xiong Wencan walked over with the support of his staff member Wang Can and gasped.

Zuo Dashuai probably didn't dare to leave him behind, so he sent a team of family members to escort him and flee with him, and the two were tied to horses and bumped all the way, and they had already lost half their lives.

Now seeing that he is still saying this kind of thing, Zuo Dashuai suddenly rolled his eyes, and said angrily:

"Overseer, do you think the thieves will fight us? Our army now has this little grain and grass left, and people can drag us to death, so for the sake of today's plan, we can only rush out of the mountains quickly, otherwise we have to explain here. ”

"My lord, General Zuo is right, now this situation can only be returned to Baokang first, reorganize the army and fight again."

Wang Can also said with an embarrassed face, now everyone is like a lost dog, where can they fight again?

Zuo Liangyu was about to arrange for the army to bury the pot and cook and rest for the night, when he saw Qin Ming fleeing with people in embarrassment.

Immediately scolded, had to lead people to continue to run wildly, where I still don't understand, those thieves didn't let go even when it was dark, and still chased after them.

It is true that King Qin asked Niu Er to take people with him, and he chased and beat him with torches, without giving the officials and soldiers a chance to breathe.

He took his men and horses, but chose a place to set up camp, ready to eat, sleep and rest.

The speed of escape was always faster than the usual march, and when more than 20,000 troops came, they had walked for four or five days, but now they had rushed out of the mountains in just one day and one night.

But the red warbler with more than 2,000 horses had already been waiting for the battle, blocking the road out of the mountain tightly.

"Brother Zuo, the pursuers behind are about to be killed, quickly organize people to attack!"

"Get out of the way."

Zuo Liangyu was in a hurry at the moment, and when he saw that Qin Ming was still coming up and was verbose, he immediately scolded.

If it weren't for Xiong Wencan, he really wanted to take the opportunity to kill Qin Ming and let out the evil breath in his heart.

Qin Ming's face turned pale, but he had to endure it, because at this time, there were only family members and some generals left around him, and the total number of people was less than a thousand.

And thanks to his palace, Zuo Dashuai still has more than 7,000 troops, and only two or three thousand were scattered last night, where do you dare to sing against him?

However, after escaping for a day and a night, the 7,000 people were already exhausted, hungry, and paralyzed on the ground, how could they have the strength to attack?

Listening to the faint shouting and killing sound from behind, Zuo Liangyu's face changed several times, and finally said with a resolute face: "Tell the brothers, as long as you follow Ben Shuai and flee back, each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver at that time, and go!" ”

As he spoke, he drilled into the deep mountains and old forests in the north, and thousands of people and horses had to get up and follow them over the mountains and mountains, and thousands of people were destined to herd sheep.

"It's... That's too decisive, isn't it? ”

The red warbler who was sharpening her knife in the distance was dumbfounded when she saw thousands of people drilling into the mountains like that.

"Sister Hong, should we chase it?"

Xiao Cui walked up and asked.

"How to chase?" The red warbler rolled her eyes.

"What about people?"

When Niu Er was panting with anger, he was also dumbfounded.

After learning that the other party had fled into the mountains, he didn't know what to do, so he and Hongying decided to wait for King Qin to come.

And Qin Yu didn't arrive late with the army until noon.

"It's in a hurry, and the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, damn, it's their ability to escape back from this barren mountain and wilderness."

Qin Yu secretly said to himself, and at the same time regretted a little, he shouldn't have pursued overnight last night.

Maybe Zuo Liangyu will try to attack it today and fight it, but at that time, he led the army to surround him, and he finished it all.

"King Xiaohua, why don't I take someone to take the opportunity to take Baokang back?"

"Red girl, my old cow saw that you were a woman, and I only let you last time, and it would be too much for you to fight this time." Niu Er suddenly blushed and said with a thick neck.

"What are you fighting for? Did I say I'm going to get a good deal now? ”

Qin Yu didn't have a good airway.

Then let Niu Er take 2,000 heroes to garrison Fang County, and the others returned to Zhushan with the grain and seized materials in Fang County.

In this situation, let alone fighting Baokang, he doesn't even want Fang County, because after the fight, he will have to divide the troops and garrison, which is not conducive to his control of the troops.

At this stage, he still wants to firmly gather his soldiers and horses together, practice every day, and cultivate feelings.

Along the way, Qin Yu made people shout loudly, asking the defeated soldiers hiding in the mountains to come out to eat, drink and drink, and it took five days to return to Zhushan County.

However, thousands of rout soldiers were also gathered, after all, these routs were unfamiliar with the place, and when they saw that no one was chasing them, they all fled for a while and stopped, some of them were bold, and even returned to the mountain road to check secretly.
