Chapter 47, Misfortune is not a single line
Bai Qi led a team of cavalry, rushed through the bloody road, and searched around, but he couldn't find it. They didn't dare to shout the king, for fear of being known by the Ming army, so they had to work hard to find it.
But after a few rushes, he couldn't find King Qin.
Bai Qi was in a hurry when he suddenly heard a person shouting: "General save me......"
He turned his head and saw that it was Fan Ju. He lay on a horse and ran from a distance, followed by a group of Qin troops in hot pursuit. Bai Qi hurriedly ordered his subordinates to step forward and save Fan Ju. When Fan Ju ran in front of him, he found that his horse had been hit by a few arrows, and he was already exhausted. Bai Qi hurriedly ordered his subordinates to give their horses to Fan Ju, and then looked around, the corpses of the Qin army were all over the mountains, and he knew that if he continued to fight to the death, he would definitely suffer heavy casualties, so it was better to flee in all directions to preserve his strength.
So Bai Qi ordered his subordinates to pass the order on horseback, so that the Qin army could break through separately. I looked at the battlefield again, but I still didn't see King Qin, so I had to stomp my horse and kick with hatred, and rushed out of the battlefield with forty or fifty horsemen.
When the Ming army saw that a group of cavalry had fled, where was it willing to be released, a flag officer with more than 50 horsemen under his command followed closely behind. The arrows kept coming.
At this time, the sky was already faint, and I could see much more clearly, only a few screams were heard, and several Qin soldiers were shot by cold arrows and fell off their horses and died. Bai Qi looked at the army: "Why don't you shoot back?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, helpless: "General, we don't have any arrows." ”
It turned out that the archers who rushed out with him, except for an archer who had shot all the arrows, were all spearmen and swordsmen, and naturally there were no arrows on them.
Bai Qi instructed the archer: "Give me the bow, you are in front, and I will break the back." ”
The archer hurriedly said, "General, how can this be?" Bai Qi glared: "Don't talk nonsense, bow here!" The archer couldn't, so he threw the bow to Bai Qi, who took the bow in his hand, slowed down, and reached the end of the line.
At this time, arrows were shot from time to time behind them, and the distance was getting closer and closer, and the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air became louder and louder.
Bai heaved his body, listened to the movement behind, suddenly turned his body together, copied it with his hand, had caught an arrow, put it on the bowstring, only to see his bow open like a full moon, the arrow went like a meteor, turned back with only one arrow, and shot the first person in the pursuit of the head off the horse.
The Ming military flag officer shouted: "This person is the leader of the thief, don't let him go." ”
When the army heard this, they slapped their horses forward, and the arrows shot at Bai Qi one after another. Bai Qi danced a wooden shield to block the arrows, then pulled the arrows from the shield and shot them back.
He shot three arrows in a row, knocking down three pursuers. The more the flag officer chases, the more frightened he is, this person is really like a god of arrows, every time he fires an arrow, he will inevitably fall in response to the string, so powerful, is he chasing or not?
When the flag officer was hesitating, Bai Qi made a decision for him, and an arrow flew in, hitting the flag officer's left eye and piercing it with a helmet and brain. The flag officer shouted, turned over and fell off his horse.
At this time, all the troops reined in one after another, not daring to chase anymore, and watched Bai Qi and his group disappear into the distance.
Seeing that there was no one behind him to chase after him, Bai Qi sneered, threw the bow back to the archer, identified the direction, and then headed towards Luonan. According to the agreement, Li Kang and Li Yan should have led the Tongguan garrison and marched there. It is expected that in less than a day, the two sides will be able to meet, and then recruit stragglers to find King Qin.
He led the thirty or forty men to gallop wildly, and it was not long before he came to a village ten miles from Luonan.
Bai Qi ran and ran, and was suddenly startled because he found that there were fireworks burning in the village. It was not the smoke of cooking, nor the fire of the wasteland, but the fire of war.
After many years of fighting, of course Bai Qi can see it.
With a wave of his hand, the troops behind him immediately slowed down their horses and rushed into a wild forest with Bai Qi. Bai Qi ordered a sergeant to go to the village to scout, and the rest of the people rested. Not long after the sergeant went, he ran back out of breath and reported to Bai Qi: "General, it seems that it is our people inside, it seems to be our people......"
Bai Qi's heart sank, and he had vaguely guessed that the people in this village were the Tongguan defenders, and it seemed that most of them had also encountered an ambush. With an order, the army mounted and rushed into the village.
It's hitting Ziyi head-on.
At this time, Ziyi had changed into a different person, completely losing his former composure, his hair was scattered, his body was drenched in blood, his face was also injured, and his eyes flashed with an extremely angry and crazy light.
When he saw Bai Qi, Ziyi didn't recognize it, and it was a knife when he came up.
Bai Qi pulled the horse to the side, let go of it, and shouted angrily: "Ziyi, it's me!" ”
Only then did Ziyi settle down, and when he saw that it was Bai Qi, he knelt down in front of his horse and wept silently: "General...... I...... I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the king, and I'm even more sorry for Qin Jun...... I'm defeated......"
Bai Qi jumped off the horse, helped him up, and carefully asked the passers-by about the situation, and then he understood something.
It turned out that Ziyi and they were also attacked suddenly.
It was not the Ming army from Shaanxi that attacked them, but from Shanxi.
Since that night, Li Dang and Li Yan went to Tongguan to transfer troops, and they arrived at Tongguan smoothly, handed over the tiger talisman to Ziyi, and then gathered all the Qin troops and marched overnight. So Tongguan became an empty city in a moment.
They marched quickly with their team to Luonan, and they did not walk slowly. And day and night, it moves forward rapidly. As a result, the next night, they came twenty miles outside the borders of Luonan.
When they arrived here, everyone was very tired, Ziyi ordered to camp, and everyone began to bury the pot to cook, and after eating, most of them went to rest.
At this moment, a Ming army and horses touched up.
This group is different, it is also an infantry army, but it has strict orders and is very united internally. The leader of the general is the newly promoted Shanxi politician, surnamed Lu, called Lu Xiangsheng.
This person was born as a civil official, but he is skilled in martial arts, and with a 37-pound machete, more than a dozen ordinary people can't get close. A few days ago, he received a secret order from Hong Chengchou, saying that Tongguan was lost, and asked him to lead his newly recruited 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack Tongguan.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything, because Hong Chengchou was the governor of the three sides, and his military orders were like a mountain.
So Lu Xiangsheng ordered the whole army, brought three days' rations, and rushed to Tongguan day and night. But when they arrived at Tongguan, the spies came to report, and Tongguan was quiet, as if there was no one guarding it.
Lu Xiangsheng was very surprised, thinking that the enemy army had a trick, and then sent people to investigate, this time the spies directly entered Tongguan, and still did not find a person, and from the situation at the scene, the enemy army had just withdrawn.
It stands to reason that he has recaptured Tongguan and can give an account to Hong Chengchou, but Lu Xiangsheng is a very smart person, and he understands that what Hong Chengchou wants to see more is the number of enemy soldiers he reported. So he ordered to leave 300 men to defend Tongguan, and the rest of the men followed him and continued the pursuit.
At this time, there was only one day's dry food left in the army.
Lu Xiangsheng didn't think about this at all, he only knew that it was his duty to catch up and kill the enemy army.
Inspired by his duties, Lu Xiangsheng waved his army and rushed forward, chasing for a day and two nights, and when he finally caught up with Li Kang and them, the army was already out of food. The army did not eat for half a day, and ran for dozens of miles hungry, but they still caught up with the enemy.
Lu Xiangsheng was also hungry, and the soldiers close to him could hear the rumbling in his stomach, which made their political suffocators suddenly become much cuter.
Staring at the dancing flames in the distance, Lu Xiangsheng suppressed the excitement in his heart, he could see that the enemy was also tired and defenseless. In the event of a surprise attack, it will be obtained.
So he ordered the whole army, 2,700 men lined up, ready to surprise the enemy camp.
The Qin army was too tired, and along the way, he didn't find the Ming army, so Ziyi was careless, and he didn't even send a few sentinel scouts, so he slept on the grassy slope.
Lu Xiangsheng saw that most of the enemy troops had fallen asleep, so he gave the order to attack.
The Ming army under his command surged up like a tide, and many Qin soldiers rushed to the front because they slept too soundly, and they were assassinated underground in their sleep before they woke up. The other Qin troops were awakened, hurriedly picked up their weapons, and stepped forward to meet the enemy.
For a time, there was chaos in the camp, and Ziyi and Li Dang commanded the Qin army to fight desperately. But the Qin army woke up in a hurry, and many people were not very conscious, and the Ming army had the upper hand.
