Ying Tianhu wanted to run, and those Ming soldiers would not want to resist, as soon as Ying Tianhu's words came out, the low-level officers around him just ran away first, and only his own soldiers were still by Ying Tianhu's side.

As for those ordinary soldiers, it is obvious that no one can take care of them at this time!

Whether it is in Ying Tianhu's heart or in the hearts of other Ming army officers, those ordinary soldiers are irrelevant, this is not that Ying Tianhu and they disregard life and deliberately ignore these ordinary soldiers, but the core of an army, not these ordinary soldiers, but those low-level officers and the personal soldiers of officers at all levels.

These ordinary soldiers have no role at all at the critical moment, that is, they make up their heads and become strong in the big war, and in this moment, the role of these ordinary soldiers is only to be cannon fodder, hindering the pursuit of the puppet Tang thief army, so that Ying Tianhu and them have enough time to escape.

Just like those thieves seem to have a large number of people, but among the 10,000 people, the real core backbone is only a few hundred, and the rest are just ordinary people who are coerced.

Most of the people in the Ming army were serf guards who had no combat effectiveness at all, and only a few of them were really able to fight.

As long as Ying Tianhu and the others can escape with their own soldiers, it doesn't matter whether the nearly 100 ordinary soldiers are killed in battle or captured.

Ying Tianhu and the others wanted to escape, but the Chen butcher on the opposite side also quickly found out, and immediately led people to try to break through the barrier of those ordinary soldiers, and the Chen butcher wanted to leave Ying Tianhu and them behind.

But there are too many Ming soldiers in front of them, these Ming soldiers have lost their command, and they are scurrying around like headless flies, although Butcher Chen can kill a bloody way out of these chaotic soldiers, but by the time they come out of the chaotic soldiers' strokes, Ying Tianhu and they have already run away.

Looking at Ying Tianhu and the others who had already run away, Butcher Chen was unwilling, but he still didn't insist on catching up impulsively, but held a pig-killing knife with blood in one hand and said, "Arrest these people!" ”

A short-stature bandit on the side said: "General, why are you still arrested, it's easy to kill them with one knife!" ”

Unexpectedly, Butcher Chen said directly with a straight face: "Kill a fart, catch them all and let them be coolies, otherwise you will be carrying so much baggage!" ”

Capturing prisoners and serving as coolies to carry baggage is also a common method used by the Tang Dynasty when they went out on expeditions.

Most of the captured Ming prisoners were young and strong men or ordinary Ming army serf guards, not to mention that these people themselves did not have much combat effectiveness, and the key point was that they did not have much resistance.

They were used to being bullied by those officers of the Ming army before, as long as their weapons were confiscated, and a few people were sent to watch, these people were as docile as sheep, and they didn't need to threaten with swords, and they could just scold them obediently and let them do whatever they wanted.

According to the experience of the Datang New Army over the past year or so, using prisoners to transport baggage is a worry-free and labor-saving matter, and it is more convenient than directly capturing strong men to act as people's husbands.

After Fang Dongquan in the back followed, he looked at Ying Tianhu and the others who fled far away, for fear that Ying Tianhu and them would go to the back to move the rescue troops, you must know that there is still a main force of more than 400 people in the Ming army five or six miles behind, and it is estimated that it will be half an hour if you really want to run over lightly.

Fang Dongquan didn't want to meet the main force of the Ming army after he and the others had just fought, so he walked up to Butcher Chen and said, "General Chen, don't bother to catch those who have escaped, let's fight quickly, take these and go back immediately!" ”

Although Butcher Chen looked at the Ming soldiers who were still fleeing with some unwillingness, he still nodded: "Hmm! ”

Soon, these Huangzhushan bandits were holding about 30 Ming prisoners and carrying a lot of captured weapons on the return journey.

Just when Butcher Chen and the others set off and came back, Li Xuan in front was also relieved, the key to this battle was a fast word.

Before, he was afraid that Fang Dongquan and Butcher Chen would delay time, but now it seems that Fang Dongquan and Butcher Chen still know how to take care of the overall situation.

In order to avoid the main force of the Ming army behind being annoyed and angry, they came to play a night attack, and it was also because without the nearby monitoring of the Ming army's forwards, they could also have a greater chance to get rid of the pursuit of the Ming army.

Immediately, Li Xuan followed the original plan and let the whole army continue to hurry.

Although it was already evening at this time, and it was not long before it got dark, Li Xuan still wanted to take advantage of this time to get out of the distance. If the distance between the main force of the Ming army and the Ming army can be stretched to more than ten miles, then it is unlikely that the Ming army will catch up with them again.

Even if it is still impossible to get rid of the Ming army at that time, the Ming army has been following behind the buttocks, but the danger is not great, and there is no need to worry about seeing a large number of Ming troops outside the camp early the next morning when camping at night.

On the premise of being able to ensure his own safety, Li Xuan was even willing to let go of the Ming army, because to a certain extent, it also contained the Ming army, as long as these Ming troops came to chase him, then it would be impossible to have one or two hundred people, but more than five hundred, or even more, otherwise the Ming army might have lost its troops when it came.

However, once the main force of the Ming army came to pursue him, he would not be able to send troops into the mountains to find Huangzhu Mountain.

In this way, the safety of Huangzhushan can be initially guaranteed!

It's just that Li Xuan guessed that the people on the side of the Ming army should not be stupid to continue to chase him around in the mountains, and it has been proved several times in the past that in circles in the mountains, the Ming army can't beat these bandits in Huangzhu Mountain, and the generals of the Ming army should not make the same mistakes as the previous few times as long as they don't make brain tricks.

Li Xuan's guess was not wrong, that night Diao Leixun saw Ying Tianhu running back with more than 20 people like a lost dog, although his face was gloomy and terrifying, but he did not immediately lead the army to track it in the night regardless of the consequences.

Instead, he ordered to go down and collect the remnants of the forward as much as possible, and at the same time reported to Su Jiakang in the rear that the forward was ambushed.

As for the follow-up outcome of Ying Tianhu, this is no longer Diao Leixun's concern, anyway, this Ying Tianhu has fought such a defeat, and the end is unlikely to be much better.

Diao Leixun is more concerned about what to do in the future, whether to give up the pursuit or to chase down in the mountains until he is old.

If Diao Leixun could decide by himself, he would have taken people out of the mountain a long time ago, and whoever likes to drill into this big mountain will not want to go anyway.

It's a pity that the decision on this matter is not in his hands, but in Su Jiakang's hands.

As for what decision Su Jiakang will make?

Diao Leixun doesn't know!
