Chapter 612: Retreat Decisively!
Chapter 612: Retreat decisively!
It's just that at this time, the soldiers under his command were still slightly affected at all.
Ji Brahma frowned slightly, waved his hand and said, "General Du, now I will give you a task, immediately pack up the gold, silver, money, and jewels piled up on the ground." When we get out of the palace, you will have the soldiers sprinkle gold, silver and jewels all the way. Tell all the brothers that as long as they leave Xianyang City, they will have a lot of money. Whoever is greedy for money now will be cut down by me now. ”
Du Ruping said: "Don't worry, your lord, you will definitely complete the task." ”
As soon as he heard Ji Brahma's words, he knew that Ji Brahma was using money to throw it on the ground to delay the pursuit of Mu Tian's soldiers, so he was very concerned. Du Ruping passed the order, and specially asked the 100 soldiers under his command to be responsible for collecting the money and property piled up on the harem ground, and was specifically responsible for sprinkling gold, silver, jewelry and other ornaments on the road. These 100 soldiers are the guards trained by Du Ruping, and they are absolutely loyal, so he can rest assured.
"Report!"
A soldier of the special operations team rushed in and said loudly: "General, the Song army has broken through the west gate of Xianyang, and now it has entered the imperial city, and it has already rushed towards the Taihe Gate, I am afraid that it will be the Qianqing Gate soon." Please withdraw the general immediately, otherwise it will be too late. "According to the layout of the palace, the Xianyang West City Gate is at the front, and the Taihe Gate and the Qianqing Gate are facing the Xianyang West City Gate.
Once Zhengyang falls, the remaining two gates will not be far away.
Seeing that the soldiers under Du Ruping's command had packed up their money, Ji Brahma immediately ordered: "Two queen mothers, let's retreat through the palace gate, withdraw from Xianyang first, avoid the sharp edge of Mu Tian and the Song army soldiers, and then find a way to kill back." ”
The palace gate is the north gate of the palace and the back door of the palace, and it is an important access control for daily entry and exit in the palace. Now that Mu Tian led the army to kill from the front door, it is obviously impossible for Ji Brahma to take a small number of soldiers to fight hard, so he can only evacuate through the back door.
Concubine Jing hugged Yinglong, who was still in swaddling clothes, and ran towards the palace gate surrounded by soldiers.
There are thousands of people in the line, which can be called mighty.
In fact, there were not many soldiers accompanying him, only more than 1,800 people led by Du Ruping. However, the accompanying concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs accounted for a large part at all, and there were thousands of people.
Such a team seriously affected the degree of hurrying.
After Ji Brahma saw it, he decisively ordered the soldiers of the special operations team to escort Concubine Jing, the Empress Dowager, Ying Long, and the chief eunuch Zhao Tianyu and his party to hurry away, abandoning the eunuchs, palace maids or concubines of Qin Jiu who were hanging behind, etc., and did not bother at all. In this way, the rush is much faster.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Ji Brahma suddenly gave an order for the army to stop.
Ji Brahma looked at Du Ruping and ordered in a deep voice: "General Du, there is the palace gate outside, let the soldiers explore the way first, and then let a team of soldiers stay behind to protect us, and we will be inserted in the middle." ”
In front of you is the palace gate, and once you leave the palace gate, you leave the palace.
Ji Brahma was afraid that there would be an ambush outside, so he asked the soldiers under Du Ruping's command to go out to explore the way. Du Ruping knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately sent three hundred soldiers to rush forward to explore the way. As soon as this group of soldiers rushed out, a burst of gunfire rang out outside the palace gate. Dense gunfire came, and the soldiers who rushed to the front immediately became a sieve, and their bodies were covered with bloody holes made by bows and arrows.
The screams and wails of the soldiers were endless, and one corpse after another fell, which made Du Ruping's heart ache.
It's just that Du Ruping was also a little lucky, but fortunately he didn't rush out.
He sprinkled the cold sweat on his forehead, if he rushed out recklessly just now, he didn't know what the consequences would be. Fortunately, Ji Brahma stopped everyone in time and asked the soldiers to test it. However, even if he found out that there were enemy troops outside the palace gate now, Du Ruping knew that he had to rush out. If you can't rush out, once Mu Tian's army catches up, you will definitely not survive.
Du Ruping yelled: "Brothers, rush, as long as you rush out, the opportunity will come." ”
These soldiers are all the elite under Du Ruping, and they obey the order, so that they can rush outside the palace gate without fear of death. Rao was like this, and the soldiers who rushed out were also fiercely attacked by the enemy soldiers outside the palace gate. Mu Tian had already thought that Concubine Jing, the Empress Dowager and others might escape from the palace gate, so he was prepared.
Ji Brahma and his party came out, and the soldiers who were in ambush outside immediately came out to intercept them.
Ji Brahma saw that the momentum of rushing out was blocked, and he heard the noise faintly coming from the direction of the harem behind him, and his mood was extremely heavy. He looked at Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan, and quickly ordered: "Dong Lao, Yang Lao, you two must be careful to protect the two queen mothers, and you can't let the two get hurt." ”
"Yes!"
The two guarded beside Concubine Jing and the Queen Mother, with serious expressions.
Although the two of them were old, their rickety bodies suddenly straightened up, like a sharp sword unsheathed, revealing a powerful momentum, which was diametrically opposed to the old man who ran away with the army before. This scene made many soldiers show surprise, but they didn't expect the two old men who followed Ji Brahma to be so powerful.
Ji Brahma ignored the eyes of these people, looked at Hu Wei again, and ordered: "Brother Hu Wei, let the soldiers of the special operations team aim at the enemy outside and help the army break through." ”
"Yes!"
Hu Wei agreed, leaving the thirteen guards of the Dragon Group to protect Ji Brahma, and then personally led the soldiers of the special operations team to help the soldiers under Du Ruping's command. The soldiers of the special operations team aimed and opened fire, and the shots rang out, and the enemy soldiers outside the palace gate immediately fell one after another. Although the firepower is still there, at least it is not a one-sided situation like just now.
Du Ruping encouraged the soldiers and once again charged in the rain of bullets.
More than 1,800 people died before they rushed out of the palace gate and ran towards the north of the city. At this time, the number of concubines, palace maids and eunuchs who kept up with the army was constantly decreasing, and no one cared about it at all, because there were still chasing soldiers behind. Ji Brahma and his party rushed out of Xianyang City, and it was already the second half of the night.
At this time, the crowd was already mentally exhausted, and their bodies began to be unable to support it.
Du Ruping sighed: "It's finally out!" ”
Ji Brahma said with a solemn expression: "I'm afraid, it's not that simple!" His eyes looked at the official road outside the North City, and then looked back at the gate of the North City, feeling that he was afraid that Mu Tian's methods would not stop there.
"Ji Brahma, I have been waiting here for a long time on the orders of the general of the chariot and cavalry."
The voice that made Ji Brahma feel very familiar came out, and Ji Brahma had an impression of this voice, and he couldn't remember it at all.
He looked up ahead and his eyes widened.
He suddenly remembered who this person was, no wonder the voice was so familiar.
