Chapter 508: Unprecedented embarrassment
Wang Zhiren almost rushed to the shore with a rolling belt, looking at the ship that had gradually become a black spot, Wang Zhiren wanted to cry without tears.
The withdrawal of troops can undoubtedly be withdrawn, at least it should not be difficult to withdraw the Chinese army and the rear army.
Is it really necessary to order the withdrawal immediately?
Wang Zhiren was also unwilling.
As he himself said, once upon a time, he also wanted to share the fate with the soldiers.
Throwing hundreds of soldiers across the river and ignoring them is an endless torment in the heart of any general with a conscience.
Wang Zhiren was stunned for a long time, Huo Di stood up, looked at the other side of the river, and said to himself: "No matter whether it succeeds or fails, this only one time, even if it is a dream in your heart and mine...... Wu Zheng, if you die, even if the old man gives you this group of people to be buried, it will not be in vain for you and me to have a relationship. ”
……。
At this time, Wu Zheng was called an embarrassment, an embarrassment that had never been seen before.
Chased behind by thousands of enemies, no one will not be embarrassed.
Wasn't Cao Cao also chased after him to abandon his robe and cut his beard at that time?
Fortunately, it was discovered early, if there was no corpse of the Ming army scout, Wu Zheng and his party of dozens would have to fall into the pocket of the Qing army.
It can be two or three miles apart, and for cavalry, it is only a blink of an eye.
Wu Zheng had to flee in embarrassment.
But the problem is that Wu Zheng and his party were in a hurry to go to Dantu, and their horsepower was limited, and after fleeing for more than an hour, the war horses were already weak.
But Qingqi did not get tired at all.
When the distance was gradually approaching, Wu Zheng heard a personal guard behind him and said loudly: "I will say goodbye to the lord here, take care of the lord!" ”
Wu Zhenghuo turned around, and dozens of guards had already turned their horses' heads to the left and right, and after a short circle, they gathered into a force in the middle, and accelerated to catch up with the chasing Qing cavalry.
A sour feeling rushed to the tip of his nose, and Wu Zheng's eyes blurred.
Without the slightest hesitation, he spurred his horse and continued to run, with only four men and four horsemen by his side.
More than fifty horsemen, facing the enemy's thousand horsemen, launched a brazen suicidal charge.
It's like a stone thrown into a huge wave, only to splash and disappear in an instant.
However, the speed of the enemy cavalry was indeed slowed down, and the distance between the two sides was widened a little again.
But the weakness of the war horse cannot be solved at all, and it is only a matter of time before it catches up.
When a river appeared in front of him, Wu Zheng's eyes lit up and he ordered to rush into the river.
Maybe Wu shouldn't be desperate.
There happened to be a ferry boat on the other side of the river, and Wu Zheng and the five of them rushed into the river on horseback, but the river did not look wide, but the water was very deep.
Not far into the river, the water had already flooded the horse's back, and the horse refused to go any further.
Wu Zheng and the five had no choice but to jump into the river and swim towards the ferry.
The old man was so frightened that he almost ran away with his canopy, and turned around and fled.
Seeing this, Wu Zheng shouted: "Old man in front, we are waiting for the Ming army, we are being chased by the Tartars, and I will be crossed, there must be heavy thanks." ”
The old man who drove the boat hesitated, but after all, he did not hold it up, and he slowly approached the boat to Wu Zheng and the five people, and at this time, the Qing cavalry had already reached the shore.
Seeing that there was a river blocking the way, the Qing army immediately bent their bows and shot arrows.
Countless arrows were shot at the ferry like locusts.
This ferry is not big, the appearance is somewhat similar to the Shaoxing Wupeng boat, the cabin is very low, it is the shield of bamboo strip weaving, how can it withstand the iron arrow?
For a moment, the canopy was immediately pierced and became a sieve.
The old man was caught off guard by an arrow in the shoulder and fell into the river.
It happened to fall on Wu Zheng's side.
The old man on the boat struggled desperately, "The official save me...... The official saves me. ”
Wu Zheng grabbed the old man's arm and dragged him to the other side of the boat, while directing the guards in the river to turn the ferry around and slowly push it to the other side of the river.
Fortunately, the Qing army did not dare to go into the water, and the range of the bow was not far, and not long after Wu Zheng and the five people swam across, the arrows were already out of reach.
The unwilling Qing cavalry began to turn along the river, which meant to find a bridge to cross the river and continue the pursuit.
Wu Zheng and the five of them climbed onto the boat and dragged the boat boss onto the boat as well.
Because of the escape, naturally they couldn't take the official road, and Wu Zheng and the five people didn't even know where this place was.
"Uncle, where is this, how far is it from Danyang?"
The old man replied gratefully, "Thank you for saving me." The name of this place is Chenjiabu, not far from Danyang, over the front of the mountain, walking is only a day's road. ”
Wu Zheng nodded, and after landing on the shore, he left some silver for the old man, "The old man hurriedly found a place to hide, after the Tartar crossed the river, he couldn't find me and waited, I'm afraid he will look for you to vent his anger." ”
The old man said gratefully: "The official is a good person, and there will be good rewards." From here to the south ten miles can see the mountain, the mountain is not high, over the hill, you can look into the Danyang City, after going down the mountain, it is also thirty or forty miles. ”
……。
Wu Zheng and the five of them ran desperately to the south, picking a small path and running to a place where the war horse could not go.
Fortunately, as the old man said, ten miles away, he saw mountains.
Wu Zheng and the five of them planted themselves into the mountains and forests, and then they sighed.
Even if the Qing army could force out the terrain from the surrounding people, it would not be easy to search for five people in this mountain.
After a short rest, Wu Zheng and the five of them began to climb the mountain.
When I was about to climb the hill, an accident happened.
A group of figures appeared from the mountain beam and rushed straight towards Wu Zheng and the five people.
Wu Zheng and the five people didn't even have time to react, they were surrounded by groups, looking at the formation, there were no less than 100 people.
I'm afraid it's hard to escape, Wu Zheng smiled bitterly.
can look at the other party's people, their faces look like Han people, and they are all wearing the clothes of the Ming people.
This made Wu Zheng feel hopeful in his heart.
He hugged his fists and said: "The five of us are the Ming army, I don't know why you are stopping us?" ”
Those people exchanged heads and whispered to each other, but fortunately, one of them replied: "It doesn't matter if you say it is Ming Jun, when the boss of my family comes, I can tell for myself." Don't dare to act rashly, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”
Wu Zheng wondered that this group of people still had a coach? So he asked, "Who is your manager?" ”
"Ask what to ask, shut up!"
Wu Zheng had no choice but to be silent, glanced at the guards, and sat on the ground, and those people saw that Wu Zheng and the others were not hostile, so they relaxed and only surrounded Wu Zheng and the five people in a circle, but they were not embarrassed.
After waiting for about half an hour, a voice came from the bottom of the mountain.
And the people surrounding Wu Zheng also stood up one after another, and a few ran down the mountain to report the news.
It didn't take long for a voice to come, "Ming Army? How can there be a Ming army here, it can't be a spy of the Qing army, right? ”
The voice was getting closer and closer, and Wu Zheng felt that this voice seemed to be heard before.
So he also stood up and looked at the place where the sound had come from.
At this look, Wu Zheng was stunned, "Lord Sun? ”
"Zhen Guogong?"
The two looked at each other with wide eyes.
After a while, Wu Zheng came back to his senses and asked, "Why is Master Sun here?" ”
Sun Jiaji said gloomily: "It's hard to say! Why is Zhen Guogong here? ”
Wu Zheng also smiled bitterly, "It's hard to say." ”
But Wu Zheng quickly said: "The military situation is urgent, Lord Sun will go to Danyang with me, and I will talk about it on the way if I have something to say." ”
Sun Jiaji then responded: "Obey the orders of the country." ”
