Chapter 159: In the catastrophe
Just as he was distracted, Yuan Zuocai's figure appeared in the distance.
Zhu Yujia looked at it from afar, Yuan Zuocai's figure was extremely ghostly, and the whole person was like an afterimage shuttling quickly between the trees, sometimes even jumping up from one tree and falling to another, as if he was dancing with the wind, and his posture was extremely chic.
"Worthy of the nickname, no mud!"
Zhu Yujia couldn't help but secretly admire, in the rivers and lakes of this era, there are really people with strange abilities and magic! If you recruit him, you'll be a good Scout!
"They're coming!"
With Yuan Zuocai's gesture, Chu Fang's voice came from his ears, Zhu Yu Jia came back to his senses, nodded with a fixed gaze and said, "Prepare!" ”
"Brothers, get on the horse!"
Chu Fang snorted, then picked up the whistle stick, and took the lead in rushing onto the official road, her maid also drew her waist knife and followed closely, dozens of people rushed out from behind the mound, carrying five or six large tree trunks with branches, and threw them on the official road, and then drew out their swords and lined up behind Chu Fang.
Because both sides of the official road were small earthen hills with sparse trees, in order to prevent the enemy from escaping in a roundabout way, the remaining hundreds of people were scattered behind the various earthen hills, ready to resist the enemy at any time.
Zhu Yujia had already ordered a dozen or so soldiers with good marksmanship to choose sniper positions on both sides of the official road, and he personally led five or six soldiers from the communications squad to the official road to strengthen the frontal blocking force.
He did this at the same time to protect Chu Fang, after all, although the number of people around Sun Kewang was small, they were all guards and soldiers, and seeing that Suining City was close at hand, they were very likely to fight to the death and make a strong counterattack.
Sun Ke didn't want to come, if he really came, then it would be easy to deal with him no matter how he was handled, he didn't want to fight this kind of battle and cause casualties.
……
Sun Kewang finally came.
The soldiers who opened the way first saw a group of men and horses appear on the official road in front of them from a distance, but they did not look like the Qing army who came to meet them, and they stopped their horses one after another, and looked back at Sun Kewang with a stunned face.
Sun Kewang, who was surrounded by the soldiers in the middle of the horse team, also saw the team of people in front of him, and his heart suddenly sank.
All the way gritted his teeth and insisted on riding a horse, he finally escaped here after a lot of hardships, and it was fortunate that he was not caught up by the plague god behind, and he was almost one step away from the Qing army's territory, and he actually encountered obstacles here, is God really unwilling to spare my grandson?
Looking at it, although the number of people in front of him was not very large, Sun Kewang knew that with the current physical condition of his own soldiers, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have good fruits to eat today.
In ancient times, marching on horseback to fight was an extremely physically demanding thing, not only the horse was tired, but the rider was also tired.
Children's shoes who have ridden a horse know that it is more comfortable only when the horse is slow, at this time the rider can sit on the back of the horse, and the center of gravity of the body swings up and down with the undulating rhythm of the horse's back, even if it walks a long distance will not be too tired.
When the horse gallops, in fact, the rider leans forward and stands upright on the stirrup, at this time the buttocks must be suspended, otherwise the five organs and six lungs will be broken, and this posture is equivalent to standing in a very bumpy pickup truck for a long distance, which is a very exhausting thing.
Considering the physical limit of the mount under the crotch, the cavalry marched in ancient times, and had to get off the horse and rest every twenty or thirty miles, and the rider rested at the same time to let the mount rest his physical strength, and the immediate charge was also the first small step to speed up, and the last dozens of meters to hit the horse to sprint rapidly.
In order to escape for their lives, Sun Kewang and his entourage carried a breath and walked all the way, and it was already the end of the crossbow to escape here, whether it was a mount or a soldier, they were so tired that they were out of breath and almost exhausted their physical strength.
It is impossible to turn back, Mo said that the pursuers behind will arrive at some point, even if they don't collide head-on, with the remaining physical strength, it will be difficult to get out of this mountain from elsewhere.
"Don't worry, maybe there are just some bandits and cowards in front of you, trying to rob some money, let's go forward and see the situation first."
Gao Lehou's voice beside him sounded in time, which reminded Sun Kewang.
He also knew that there were a lot of bandits in this area, and if it was just a bandit robbery in front of him, it was likely to be just a false alarm, at most leaving a few good horses and promising some benefits, it was still very hopeful of accommodation.
If it weren't for the bandits, he would have wanted to know who was going to hit him in front of him.
He still remembered that there was a rebel army here that specialized in fighting Tartars, led by a woman who was good at wielding a whistle stick, as if she was called a thousand years old.
Last year, he also sent someone to take it in, although he didn't negotiate it in the end, but with his prestige, there should still be some favors to sell, right?
After a long silence, Sun Kewang decided to ride forward, and his instinct for survival drove him to make one last effort no matter what.
Getting closer and closer, when he saw the situation in front of him, Sun Kewang suddenly gasped, and the hope in his heart instantly fell to the freezing point.
Because he saw clearly, not only was there a woman standing in front of him, but there were also heads everywhere behind the surrounding mounds.
What made him even more desperate was that in the team in front of him, there were still some people in strange costumes, this kind of military uniform was no longer unfamiliar to him, this was clearly the subordinate of the plague god Lin Xiao.
When he saw the muskets in their hands clearly, Sun Kewang sighed in his heart, today, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape!
"The Chitose Army ahead?"
Sun Kewang arched his hand on the horse's back, and said with a wry smile, no matter what, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor.
"Are you Sun Kewang?"
Chu Fang said coldly.
"Lone is the King of Qin! Passing by the treasure land today, I hope that your ministry will be accommodating! ”
Sun Kewang has always claimed to be lonely to outsiders, but today he knows that something is wrong, but he still has luck, so he wants to pretend to be a tiger, trying to pretend to be arrogant to suppress the other party.
"Phew! You are a bastard who surrendered to the Tartars, and you still have the face to call yourself a lonely widow! ”
Chu Fang's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, either dismount and be bound, or leave your head!" ”
“……”
Sun Kewang really has nothing to say, since the other party knows everything, there is only one way to go.
Sun Kewang turned his head and looked at Gao Lehou and a group of pro-soldiers, to this day, no matter how tired he is, he has to fight! Immediately took a deep breath, sneered and slowly pulled out the saber, clamped the horse's belly, and shouted: "Follow me!" ”
The swordsman Gao Lehou was not bad, he also drew his long sword, threw the scabbard and followed, and when all the soldiers saw this, they were stunned for a moment and drew their sabers one after another, stared at desperate eyes, and roared loudly to beat the horses to follow.
In addition to the emotional ties, they usually enjoy a very high military salary, and they must desperately protect the master in wartime.
Therefore, seeing Sun Kewang taking the lead in the charge, all the relatives and soldiers were enthusiastic, puffed up their last breath, and rushed forward desperately, and several young and strong people surpassed Sun Kewang in the blink of an eye and rushed to the front.
(Question: The Dian horse, which is small in stature compared to the Arabian horse, also has any outstanding advantages?) )
