Chapter Thirty-Eight, The Sheep on the Wrong Road
Just when his gun could pierce Li Kang's clothes, Li Kang tilted his body suddenly, and the tip of the gun grazed his ribs tightly, and there was a loud sound, and the clothes under his ribs were torn by a big crack, but this shot had already pierced the air.
Li Dang grabbed the body of the gun with his left arm, and then the gun in his right hand stabbed out like lightning and squeezed into the chest of the Ming army.
The other cavalry Ming army was not spared, and was already chopped off by Zhang Xianzhong's horse's leg with a knife, and then stabbed again, resulting in his life.
The two of them killed these two cavalrymen, just in the blink of an eye.
Li Dangfei jumped on the empty horse and killed the chief flag officer, and the Qin army behind him rushed up, surrounding the Ming army in the middle of the street.
The chief flag officer also has some martial arts, and Li Dang has a few moves on the horse, but he has not fallen behind, but the Ming army under his command can't hold on, first, the number is small, and second, it is surrounded in the middle of the street, the horses can't rush up, and the Qin army on the ground is torn off the horse one by one, with guns and bayonets, and there is a scream.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three or five people left in this Ming army, and the chief flag officer knew that it was not good, so he turned his horse and left. Li Dang chased after him closely, saw the heart of the chief flag officer, snorted, and threw the gun in his hand.
When the chief flag officer was running, he only heard the sound of the wind breaking behind him, and before he turned back, he only felt a cold and painful feeling in the back of his heart, and a bloody spear tip came out from the front heart.
He could no longer sit in the saddle, and his body shook twice, and he fell off the horse, and died with a whimper.
At the same time, the remaining Sanwu Ming army was also killed by the Qin army, Zhang Xianzhong and everyone rode horses with horses, ran without horses, and killed at the city gate.
There are less than 2,000 Ming troops in the city, guarding four gates, each gate is about 400 people, all guarding the city, in order to protect the city gate, but until now, the defenders of each city have suffered casualties, and they have been killed and injured by the Qin army's arrows and crossbows. At present, Li Dang has killed with 200 fresh troops, and although the defenders in the city have seen it, they can't draw many people to resist.
The general fought hard and ordered a hundred people to go down to the city to intercept this gang of thieves who wanted to seize the city gate, but the combat effectiveness of Li Dang and others was far above these Ming troops. Coupled with the large number of people, after only fighting for a moment, the Ming army was killed and retreated to the city, and the Qin army that stayed below opened the city gate to welcome the Qin army outside into the city.
As soon as the east gate was broken, soon the other gates knew, and for a time the Ming army was disheartened, unable to fight again, and fled for their lives. The generals are still fighting to the death in the city, Li Dang led the Qin army to kill the city, the generals have no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, and they want to die in the city, but before they can jump down, they are grabbed by Zhang Xianzhong and waved into two sections.
The sky is bright, and the battle of Huayin has ended.
This battle annihilated more than 1,000 Ming troops, captured 500 people, killed the guards, and captured countless weapons.
Bai Qi repeatedly passed on the order, the Qin army entered the city, not to harass the people, and those who killed the people's chickens and dogs were punished as murder. For a time, the whole city was safe, and the people were afraid, how dare they go out on the streets.
The Qin army extinguished the embers, and Bai Qi put up a notice to calm the people, telling everyone not to panic, never harass them, and let the merchants open their businesses and the people live in peace.
Seeing that these unknown soldiers were all very well-behaved, the people finally put their minds at ease.
Bai Qi's order was issued by the king of Qin, and the king of Qin knew that if he wanted to restore the hegemony of the Great Qin, he must first appease the people, so that the people could be attached, so as to increase his strength and plot the world.
Bai Qi settled the city, so he sent someone to ask the King of Qin to move to Huayin, and at the same time, he had not forgotten one person, that is, Sun Chuanting. But when he took people into the county office to look for it, some people said that Sun County Ling had already left Huayin at noon. Together with his family, more than a dozen big cars went out to the west.
As soon as he heard this, Bai Qi knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly led people to the west of the city, and after inquiring again, someone saw that Sun Chuanting and his party had more than a dozen carriages, and they were indeed heading west. Bai Qi immediately found Li Kang, promoted him to the doctor, brought a small group of Qin troops, all on horseback, and chased Sun Chuanting westward, although he walked for more than half a day, but with his family, he must rest at night, and the carriage did not go fast, so the Qin army quickly whipped the horse, and it will be able to catch up.
He instructed Li Kang, when he saw Sun Chuanting, don't say more, behead him immediately, and come to see him.
Li Dare took the order, and with forty Qin troops, he was about to chase after him. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong rode forward: "Brother, I'll go with you, this Lord Sun and I also have a pen account that hasn't been counted yet." Li Dare nodded: "Big brother is resourceful, it's best to follow." ”
He was ordered to assassinate Sun Chuanting, but he didn't succeed, he didn't shoot an arrow to kill the other party, he was extremely angry, if he chased it this time, Li Dare swore that he would cut off Sun Chuanting's head with his own hands.
The two led the Qin army horse team, went out of the west gate, and chased down the main road. Along the way, he encountered a tea stall and wine shop, so he stepped forward to ask if there was a team of horse-drawn carriages passing by.
The results are exciting, and Sun Chuanting really walked from this road.
They chased out the twenty-mile road, and there was a fork in the road in front of them, and Li Dang dismounted to observe, and found that there were many rut marks on both roads. Strange thing, could it be that Sun Chuanting's soldiers divided into two ways and went down separately?
There was a tea stall on the side of the road, Li dared to go over and ask, and the tea doctor nodded, saying that a team of carriages did arrive here yesterday afternoon, and then divided into two teams and left.
Li Dang frowned secretly, how did he know which side Sun Chuanting was taking? The current plan can only be divided into troops to catch up. He said to Zhang Xianzhong: "Big brother, this traitor surnamed Sun is slippery, can you and I divide our troops to pursue it?" ”
Zhang Xianzhong laughed and bowed his hand to Li Dang: "Brother, don't be a foolish brother." ”
Li Dang was taken aback: "Big brother, are you leaving?" Zhang Xianzhong nodded: "I'm not your person in the first place, if you don't leave at this time, do you still want to rely on a meal of wine and food?" Li Kang shook his head again and again: "Big brother can't go, you and my brother share weal and woe, right now, with the talent of the eldest brother, it is not difficult to be a deputy general in our army, what kind of person is a lonely cloud and wild crane, you must know that you are a fugitive, once you are captured by the Ming army, there will be more than luck." ”
Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "This brother doesn't have to worry about it, my brother has his own place to go, if there is fate, you and my brother will meet again." Goodbye. ”
As he spoke, he bowed his hand to the army, turned his horse's head, and galloped towards the mountains and wilderness without taking the main road.
Li Dang shouted a few times, and when he saw that he didn't look back, he had to shake his head and sigh a few times, not daring to miss the trip, so he divided his troops and chased Sun Chuanting in two ways.
Zhang Xianzhong did not say the real reason for his departure. Last night in Huayin City, he had already seen that this group of soldiers was by no means idle, they were disciplined, superb martial arts, and had proper strategy, and they were definitely an elite army. Zhang Xianzhong also mixed in the Ming army, which can still be seen.
What really disturbed him was the commander, this man was bold and ruthless, and he liked to play yin, and he would never rise to the top under such a person's orders. I am not their person, I can't gain the trust of others in a short time, and once I doubt myself, my life will be difficult to protect.
Zhang Xianzhong is an extremely conceited person, he wants to be the head of the pole (boss), how can he succumb to an army with no details and live in a nest!
Rather be a chicken than a cow, this is his creed. Therefore, he took this opportunity to get out, he had already thought about it, and when he returned to his hometown, with his prestige, he would immediately be able to pull up a team and live the addiction of being the boss.
Li Dang naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and what he was most eager to do right now was to hunt down Sun Chuanting.
After dividing the troops into two roads, he took twenty Qin soldiers to speed up their horses and chase down, but after chasing for more than ten miles, there were forks in the road in front, and similarly, there were messy ruts on both sides of the road, no need to ask, Sun Chuanting divided the carriage into two roads.
Li Dang secretly scolded Sun Chuanting for being cunning, he was afraid that he would chase the wrong one, so he had to divide his troops again.
When he encountered the fork in the road again with ten Qin troops, he knew that the Qin army was calculated by Sun Chuanting, in fact, Sun Chuanting didn't need a dozen carriages at all, his purpose in doing this was to disperse the pursuers, and at the moment he could only lead five Qin troops to continue to chase.
However, there was a fork in the road again, and when he chased here, Li dared not chase after him, because he only had five people under him, and if he divided the troops, there would only be two or three, even if he caught up with Sun Chuanting, he might not be able to beat others. Besides, if there is another fork in the road, won't he have to chase after him naked?
Sun Chuanting has a family, even if there are only two family members, he doesn't dare to say that he can get Sun Chuanting's head back.
Li Dang had to look at the road and sigh and turn back to Huayin.
When he returned to Huayin, he found that the twenty people who followed him and began to divide the troops also returned, no need to ask, there were too many forks in the road to divide the troops.
Bai Qi listened to Li Kang's return, and stomped his feet angrily: "What a cunning Sun Chuanting, as soon as this person escapes, it will be like a tiger entering a high mountain, growing teeth and claws, and he will definitely hurt people." In the future, we must be very careful with this person. ”
