364 Escape
After dark, a group of thousands of people was still running fast on the road.
These men were dressed in Wei military uniforms and held spears, shields and other weapons in their hands, most of them were infantry, with only a small number of cavalry.
However, the disheveled and disheveled appearance was more of a flight than a march.
In fact, they were indeed deserters, deserters who had survived the massive sneak attacks of the Hu people.
The leader is none other than Xie Yuheng's eldest son Xie Changfeng.
Compared with his usual smug look, Xie Changfeng's face was pale at this time, and his eyes were full of fear.
Although his body was already very tired, he still managed to continue his journey, as if there was a large group of demons chasing him behind him, and if he stopped slightly, he would be overtaken.
Perhaps in his opinion, those fierce Hu people are a group of evil ghosts.
In fact, he had never really fought with the Hu people before, and the only time he stood at the head of the city and watched the Hu people below continue to drive the Han people to attack the city.
For the ferocity of the Hu people, he didn't have too intuitive feelings.
But this time was different, when tens of thousands of Hu people rushed into the Wei army camp like a tide to kill people everywhere, and almost killed him too, he really felt how terrible the Hu people were.
He didn't even know where these Hu people came from, as if they had suddenly appeared overnight.
He was still asleep when he was awakened by the sound of screams and killings outside the tent.
When he rushed out of the camp for the first time, he only saw countless Hu people slaughtering the Wei soldiers in the camp everywhere.
And those ordinary soldiers who were chased and killed, let alone fighting back, didn't even have the courage to fight back, they were all stunned, and they just tried their best to escape.
To defeat such an enemy, for the extremely vicious Hu people, it is as easy as killing a sheep.
Although some generals wanted to organize a counteroffensive, the camp was in chaos at this time, and the terrifying atmosphere of impending disaster had spread throughout the army, and it was not easy to reorganize these soldiers who just wanted to flee for their lives.
Because he was worried about the safety of his father Xie Yuheng, Xie Changfeng originally wanted to lead the troops to the rescue, but when he saw that the camp was densely packed with Hu people, he suddenly became timid and did not dare to go to the camp again.
Just as he hesitated, more than thirty Hu cavalry suddenly roared and rushed towards him.
Seeing these Hu people who were as terrifying as beasts, Xie Changfeng was so frightened that he fled for his life.
However, where could a man outrun a war horse, he was soon caught up and blocked by the Hu people.
Immediately after that, several Hu people jumped down from their horses and rushed towards him with a whoa, and as soon as he raised his sword, he was slashed off by the leading Hu man.
Only then did he know that his so-called martial arts were simply vulnerable in front of the real enemy.
At this time, he was like an animal to be slaughtered.
Xie Changfeng grew so big, it was the first time he was so close to death, and the intense fear made his mind blank.
Just when he thought that he was about to be killed by the Hu people, fortunately, his personal army finally arrived, and after a round of fighting, it saved his life.
After escaping death, Xie Changfeng couldn't care about saving his father Xie Yuheng, and he was completely dominated by the fear of death, and he just wanted to escape from here quickly.
So he immediately fled to the rear with the rest of the men, and the other soldiers of the six gods and masters saw their men and horses, and instinctively fled with them.
Run, run, run as far as you want!
This is not only the idea of Xie Changfeng alone, but also the thoughts of most people in this fleeing team.
After a day and a night of running, everyone was too tired to die, but the fear of death still forced them to move forward desperately.
A high-ranking officer like Xie Changfeng is okay, after all, there are horses to ride, even if he is tired, there is a limit.
For ordinary soldiers who run on two legs, such a long period of continuous running has left more and more people behind because they can't keep up.
The original team of tens of thousands of people is now only a few thousand people left.
One of Xie Changfeng's subordinates couldn't help but persuade: "Young master, let's take a rest."
If you run like this without sleep, even if the soldiers don't die of exhaustion, the horses will die of exhaustion. ”
Xie Changfeng hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.
Hearing that they could finally rest, the other soldiers hurriedly sat down to rest, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not.
If it was a normal time, it would have been time to start cooking at this time.
But when they escaped, they didn't take anything with them, and some of them didn't even have weapons, so they ran out bare, and there was nothing to eat.
When they sat down, everyone immediately felt tired and hungry, but what could they do at this time, they could only stay up.
For a time, an atmosphere of despair and depression hung over all the soldiers, not to mention any morale, even worse than ordinary people.
"How far is it from Wanzhou?" During the break, Xie Changfeng asked the subordinates beside him.
"Back to the young master, there are probably more than two hundred miles to go. If it's fast, it can be reached in a few days. ”
"You wait a minute, send someone to inquire about the situation over there in the camp, especially the whereabouts of the generals.
When we arrive in Wanzhou, we must immediately find a way to join the army. ”
"Yes, young master."
Thinking of the scene when the Hu people attacked the camp, Xie Changfeng subconsciously shuddered.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that his father Xie Yuheng had probably died. How many of the more than 200,000 troops were left now, he didn't dare to think about it, he could only see walking.
Fortunately, there are still 50,000 horses guarding Wanzhou City, as long as they get there, they will be safe. As for whether to go back to the rescue capital in the future, he has no hope.
Although Xie Changfeng had prepared for the worst, the reality was much more cruel than he imagined.
If there were drones at this time, it would be clear that tens of thousands of Hu troops were quietly moving towards their camp from the direction of Wanzhou.
This Hu army was the 100,000-strong army led by the Hu people's capital Akayi, who launched a feint attack on Wanzhou at the beginning.
The reason why this Hu army, which had completed the feint mission, deliberately bypassed Wanzhou City and followed behind the Wei army that returned to the capital was to prepare to attack Xinjing together after joining the army led by the eldest prince Arobu, and secondly, to "pick up the leaks".
And deserters like Xie Changfeng are exactly the fish they want to pick up.
Originally, it was difficult to hide such a large army.
As long as Xie Changfeng and the others casually sent a few scouts to investigate in front, they would have a great chance of discovering the traces of Hu Jun.
But at this time, Xie Changfeng and the others were already physically and mentally exhausted after a day and a night of continuous escape.
And out of fear of the Hu people, they didn't dare to stay for a moment, they just ran forward desperately, where would they think of sending scouts to investigate this kind of thing in advance.
In addition, there are only a few war horses left that can be ridden, where is Xie Changfeng willing to allocate such a precious war horse to the scout who is responsible for exploring the way.
As a result, it was this small negligence that caused them to have no idea that there was an army of 100,000 Hu people waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.
