Chapter 439: Traces (Asking for Support, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

When Zhuxia once again entered the rainy season, thousands of miles away in Jingnan in the Hindu Kush Mountains, the war against the Qing captives had come to an end. Once upon a time, the invincible Manchu Qing Dynasty was not only driven out of the Central Plains, but also ushered in the end of the Western Regions thousands of miles away.

Jingnan City is broken!

Millions of captives are bowed down.

The only regret is that when Jingnan City was broken, the Qing chieftains fled from Jingnan in chaos.

After the Ming army captured Jingnan, in the face of a large number of prisoners, on one side left a large number of troops to garrison, on the other hand, a large number of cavalry were sent to pursue the remnants of the Qing captives, that is, in the process of pursuit, the military department obtained the news of Xuan Ye through the interrogation and training of Wang Xi, and the pursuing troops also found his traces on the same day.

Xuan Ye, who escaped from Jingnan disguised as a woman, escaped at night on the way to the rear, and after escaping from Jingnan, he did not stop to rest. Because Xuan Ye was alone when he fled, he avoided the scouts along the way. Two days later, Xuan Ye made peace with a team of Qing soldiers, and the leader of the troops happened to be the former imperial guards, who had seen Xuan Ye from a distance a few years ago, and then Xuan Ye, who went all the way south, did not make a noise, and collected the Qing soldiers along the way, especially the Qing soldiers stationed in the south. However, a few days later, Xuan Ye, who had escaped alone, had nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Just when Xuan Ye was full of confidence and ready to flee to the south, go to the prince's army, collect the cages, and then according to Wang Xi's plan, select the elite, retreat to the sea and then flee all the way to Africa, his identity was revealed, in fact, when he came to open the Jucage army, the Ming army had already noticed his existence, and at this time, the twelfth cavalry town of the Ming army had already arrived near them. And the natives who had been hiding in the nearby Dali for many years could see clearly the place where Xuan Ye was camping. They see this as a rare opportunity for revenge. They thought that the end of the Qing army had come, and they thought that the Ming army was here to avenge them, so they told the Ming army about the geographical situation in that area and the location of the Xuanye imperial camp, and led the Ming army to approach the Qing army's camp from the path.

In this way, about 4,000 cavalry from the 12th Cavalry Town took advantage of the night to directly attack Xuanye's imperial camp and attack the camps of the Qing army. These 4,000 elite cavalry were not discovered until near the Xuanye Imperial Camp. Most of those Qing troops woke up from their dreams and could only rush to the battle in the face of a sudden attack.

However, although these Qing troops responded to the battle in a hurry, because they knew the relationship between their masters and sons in the army, they all desperately protected the camp and launched a tragic melee with the attacking Ming army. Although the 12th Cavalry Town successively broke through the mountain of stone walls outside the camp, the Qing army still relied on the stone walls inside to block the Ming cavalry.

"The left-wing, the left-wing has the ...... of Jiannu"

The cavalry who rushed into the stone wall found that the Qing army was very different from the past, their will to resist was very resolute, in the face of the situation that the stone wall was blown open, not only did not take half a step back, but even continued to send troops to attack from both flanks, a group of Jiannu died in the counter-charge, but successfully stopped the attack of the Ming army.

The sound of artillery and explosions echoed in the night sky.

In the sound of guns, Xuan Ye was awakened, when he opened his eyes, he heard the chaotic shouts everywhere outside the tent, as well as the hurried footsteps of the soldiers, at this time there was no need for anything to happen, he also knew that it must have been the Ming army coming, he jumped up from the bunk suddenly, ignoring the screams of the newly selected concubines around him, he hurriedly put on his clothes, put on his boots, carried a six-ring wheel, and rushed out of the tent. I even saw the scene of the stone wall being blasted open by cannons, and many soldiers who were defending the wall were knocked down in the rubble.

The Ming army came after them.

By this time, Narha had already rushed over with a bloody horse, and he urged loudly:

"Master, get on the horse quickly!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xuan Ye jumped on the horse, and when he jumped on the horse, he could clearly see that the stone wall that the Ming army had already rushed to, although the Qing troops on the left and right were desperately fighting back, but it was certain that the resistance would not last long at all, and the foot against the horse itself had no advantage.

Apparently this place has been surrounded by the Ming army.

Just when Xuan Ye was anxiously not knowing why, Li Pengju led dozens of cavalry to rush over, and they protected him. Glancing left and right, Xuan Ye asked:

"Where's Erdo?"

Erdu is the general of the Qing army that Xuan Ye met after leaving the city, and he is a slave of the Three Banners.

"Back to the master, General Er is fighting with the enemy, the general asks the master to leave now, if you don't leave, you won't be in a hurry."

At this time, the battlefield was already extremely chaotic, the Ming army rushed from all directions, the cavalry of the brigade rushed from the gaps, and a part of the cavalry surrounded from outside the wall.

The sound of guns, cannons, human voices, and horses' hooves mingled in the night sky.

Xuan Ye, who was riding on a horse, could clearly see the Ming cavalry outside him, compressing the encirclement little by little, and soon they would break through the Qing army's defenses.

"Master, master......"

Listen to the woman's shouts coming from the other side of the tent.

Xuan Ye shouted the order.

"If the soldiers are in rebellion like this, they will kill themselves immediately!"

In a matter of moments, the cavalry of the Ming army had already killed this side. The concubine who had just escaped, in fact, had sent her to him when she had met Erdu, and she began to cry loudly when she heard that she had committed suicide, and the people hesitated there.

Seeing that she was unwilling to commit suicide, Xuan Ye shouted loudly on the horse:

"Kill her!"

After all, this is his woman, and she can't fall into the hands of the Ming army no matter what, and she will be humiliated by the Ming people in the future.

Immediately one of the horsemen rushed over and slashed her under her horse. At this time, because of the attack of the Ming army, many Qing soldiers had been killed, some of them fled, and some were captured. There were only a thousand soldiers who fled outward, and while they fled, some people turned back from time to time to fight back against the Ming army

Xuan Ye looked at the scuffle in front of him, knowing that he had already done it again, so he didn't hesitate too much, and fled directly to the south.

The total number of soldiers of the Qing army who escaped from the melee was less than 2,000, some of whom were hung with colors, and some of whom were women, all of whom followed him and behind him. They have both flag bearers and flag bearers who have become naturalized. After Xuan Ye fled south for half a day, he couldn't hear the shouts of the pursuers, and they were already sleepy, hungry and thirsty, and they really couldn't go anymore.

There was no way, Xuan Ye had to order a short rest here. After counting the people who had escaped, there were almost more than 1,600 people, and hundreds of women.

After getting off the horse, Xuan Ye walked among the soldiers for a while, looking at those exhausted soldiers, he couldn't help but think of the end of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and sighed in his heart.

"This little bit of people and horses is probably my Jiangdong disciples!"

It's just that, unlike Xiang Yu, he has no Jiangdong to go back to.

I couldn't go back to Jiangdong, so I could only flee in a hurry.

At this moment, Erdu, who had been leading the troops behind, led two or three hundred cavalry to follow in embarrassment, and Erdu dismounted, knelt at the emperor's feet and cried.

"Master, slaves have negative masters, and there are negative masters......"

Looking at Erdu's appearance, Xuan Ye whispered:

"Don't cry with a sad face, this will only shake the morale of the army. Erdu, get up and speak. ”

When Erdu stood up, he waved back the soldiers on his left and right, leaving Erdu alone, and asked in a low voice.

"Where is the Ming army now? Is there only so many people? ”

"Master, the Ming army is now a hundred miles away, this time the Ming army was led by the natives from the path to kill, although the minions fought desperately, but they couldn't stop them, at least four or five thousand people were captured, some of them inevitably had minions for glory and wealth to sell their masters, although this time it was a fluke escape, but it was also thanks to the desperate resistance of the minions, so that the Ming army could not rush in, although the minions fought desperately with the enemy, but it was only temporarily dragged down, can not chase the holy car. Master, now it seems that this place is not suitable for a long time......"

Wiping away his tears, Erdu said in a low voice.

"Master, you must leave here as soon as possible now, otherwise once the Ming army learns that the master is in the army, it will definitely chase and kill him desperately."

"How far is it from here, Prince?"

"Back to the master, if the prince is from here quickly, it will take almost ten days to travel......"

Erdu looked over at the women, and whispered.

"Master, the slave asks the master to lead the cavalry out of this place first, as for the others, they can only resign themselves to fate......"

Xuan Ye didn't object to Erdu's arrangement, but it was just some wounded soldiers and women, and he just asked in a low voice.

"What about later? Has the prince ever been in touch? ”

Although he didn't trust the prince very much, Xuan Ye knew that he had no other choice.

Erdu said hurriedly.

"Master, two days ago, the slave has already sent someone to report to the prince, if nothing else, today and tomorrow, the prince should know the news of the master, and he will definitely send troops to meet the situation when the time comes, the slave is desperate, and he will also send the master to the prince's side, but the slave is afraid that he can't do it, and he will fail the master when the time comes......"

Speaking of excitement, Erdu couldn't help but whimper again, unable to speak. Xuan Ye couldn't help but choke.

"I understand, I understand, now, the Ming Dog is pressing forward step by step, I was able to meet you at the beginning, you can still read the master, I am already content, if I really can't stop the Ming Dog, it is also fate, it is my fate, no wonder you ......"

Perhaps, this is fate!

Even if he was unwilling, but now Xuan Ye has accepted his fate, at least to some extent, but the strong unwillingness in his heart drives him to continue to persevere, of course, the seemingly empty hope that Wang Xi gave him also supports his will.

Erdu continued.

"Master, no matter what, the slave will lead the troops to open a bloody path for the master when the time comes, and when the time comes, the master just needs to get out and leave."

"Hmm."

Nodding slightly, Xuan Ye glanced south, although he was still skeptical about the prince, he believed that as long as he arrived in the army, he would definitely be able to take over the prince's military power, but this road was difficult and dangerous, how could he get there smoothly?

"On this way south, how many garrison battalions are there?"

"Back to the master, at this time, the garrison battalions in the south have either fled, or they have joined the prince, even if there are still people in some banner camps occasionally, most of them are the old, weak, sick and disabled who can't leave, and many of them are waiting to surrender to the Ming army even if they don't escape."

"Hey, when the real person's heart is scattered!"

Although Xuan Ye was unwilling to waste any more time on this topic, Erdu still saw the loss in his expression, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Master, the officers and men in the army fought separately last night, and they broke up for a while, and there must have been many people who escaped, and the slave felt that some of them would definitely come over to join the master."

For such comfort, Xuan Ye just smiled helplessly, even if they came over to meet, what was the use? It's also nothing to do with the overall situation!

Thinking like this, Xuan Ye sighed desperately and said unconsciously.

"This is the will of heaven to kill me!"

"Let's go!"

Finally, Xuan Ye let out a long sigh, glanced at the exhausted soldiers, and then said to Erdu.

"Go south!"

Once again, Xuan Ye led more than a thousand cavalry to leave, and when the wounded soldiers and women who were left behind watched them leave, they couldn't help but cry loudly, they knew that they had been abandoned and abandoned by their masters......

They could only watch as the Order abandoned them and fled south on their own. Those who are in a desperate situation can only sit there and wait for death. In the face of desperation, they chose to surrender one after another, and this choice saved their lives.

In fact, even those who flee are not necessarily easy. Just when they had just escaped from the encirclement and just wanted to rest. The Ming planes were wrong and caught up with them again.

Those Qing troops who had just escaped did not have time to form a team, so they were forced to rush into battle, either fleeing, or being killed or wounded, and more people could only choose to surrender.

At this time. Erdu led a part of the soldiers to resist desperately, and once again covered Xuan Ye's escape. Later, Erdu also fought his way out of the siege under the protection of the clothed minions, but he couldn't meet Xuanye, so he had to flee to another road.

Most of the Qing soldiers and their families who had no time to escape were captured by the Ming army, and even the show girl who had just been canonized by the previous emperor was among them. Yes, now all this has become the trophy of the Ming army.

However, for them, the real biggest trophy is probably that they learned from the mouth of the captive the whereabouts of the "emperor" who had been unknown for a long time, and after the nurse learned the whereabouts of Xuan Ye, they immediately pursued the most powerful cavalry troops.

The Western Regions, which seemed to have been calm, were boiling again. As if in a race, the pursuing troops followed the trails left by the Qing army and launched a final pursuit towards the target.
