Volume 4 Chapter 22 Fleeing in embarrassment

At this time, Wang Jiayin's camp had become a pot of porridge, and those who wore clothes, looked for weapons, looked for war horses, shouted for assembly, and called for queues...... There were figures everywhere, shouts everywhere. To say that Wang Jiayin's army is really well-trained, although the scene is chaotic, there is no scattering and fleeing, everyone is doing what they have to do.

Ordinary soldiers only put on their clothes and carry their weapons to assemble; The petty leaders also only had to assemble and line up, and arrange their men and horses to wait for dispatch; Only those generals were a little confused, because they didn't receive any orders!

Seeing that King Lu Yan was about to rush into the camp, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and other generals finally couldn't help it, and rushed towards Wang Jiayin's handsome tent.

Strange things happened, the generals came to the tent and didn't see anyone, let alone Wang Jiayin, not even a personal guard!

Has the king gone out? The generals are dumbfounded, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

In the end, the king couldn't help it, he jumped off the horse, opened the tent door directly, ran into the tent, and shouted anxiously as he ran: "The king, the king, the ......." “

He had just shouted a few times, as if something had suddenly choked it off, and there was no sound.

The generals outside the tent glanced at each other, all showing ominous expressions, and they all jumped off their horses and rushed into the tent.

At this time, the silence in the tent was terrible, and Wang Ziyong stood by the screen of the couch without saying a word, as if he had been immobilized.

The generals came behind him, stretched out their heads to look in, and there was a sound of inhaling cool air in the tent.

Their king did not go out, but was lying on the couch, but his head was not on the couch.

What to do? All the generals showed panicked expressions on their faces, they were not afraid of headless corpses, he didn't know how many heads he cut off with his own hands, and what headless corpses he was afraid of, the key was that the head was their king, their leader was killed so silently, how could they not be afraid!

For a while, everyone in the handsome tent had a cloudy expression on their faces, but no one spoke, not because they didn't want to speak, but because they were afraid that no one would listen to what they said. They are all generals under Wang Jiayin, and no one is more powerful than anyone else, what do you mean by opening your mouth? Do you want to be the boss?

At this time, there was already the sound of weapons crashing and screaming outside, and Zhang Xianzhong finally couldn't help but tremble: "Or let's run, it's too late!" ”

Everyone showed a look of intent and emotion, it was definitely impossible to fight, and without a unified command, everyone was a plate of scattered sand, how could they keep up with the 100,000 officers and soldiers. Now the only thing they care about is who belongs to Wang Jiayin's men, that is nearly 50,000 people, and whoever wins it is the boss.

The strongest among these people is Wang Ziyong, and everyone secretly focuses their eyes on him, if Wang Ziyong wants to accept Wang Jiayin's men and horses at this time, everyone will definitely unite to oppose it.

Wang Ziyong has this kind of thought, but this time is really not a good time, his life is almost gone, and no matter how many people and horses are of use. So, he stomped his foot and said anxiously: "When is it, what are you still hesitating about?" Hurry up and run, the king's men and horses will be left alone, let them stay and drag down the officers and soldiers, and buy us some time. ”

Everyone thought about it, they didn't know if they could escape their lives, and they didn't care what the king's men and horses were doing, so they each arched their hands and dispersed in a hurry.

Pingyang Mansion is in the west of Yangcheng, and it is naturally the fastest to run west, and everyone has chosen to run west, among which Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng are the fastest, and now they have no other troops under them, all of them are cavalry, so they are the first to reach the left side of the camp.

During the cold weapon war, the encampment generally chooses a place with mountains and rivers, no one will stupidly set up a large camp on the plain, if you dare to set up on the plain accessible on all sides, it is simply looking for death, the enemy can attack on all sides, which side do you defend?

It's not the same to have a mountain to rely on, at least you don't have to worry much about the back, as long as you arrange a few people on the top of the mountain, you dare to climb the mountain and sneak attack, and directly roll the rocks and trees, so that you have no return.

As for the left and right sides, there are generally some blockages such as horse forks, tripping horse ropes, and wooden shackles, which make it inconvenient for people to attack, but leave only the front pass.

Therefore, if you want to escape from the side, you must first clear the obstacles you have set up, and Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng have to dismount and push Yan Shan before they come to Yan Shan, move the horse rejection fork away, and cut off the stumbling horse rope.

After they cleared the obstacles, Wang Ziyong and Zhang Xianzhong almost rushed over, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng didn't speak, and directly waved their hands to let their subordinates get on the horse, and ran away.

As a result, before he had run ten paces away, the sound of firecrackers sounded in the darkness in the distance, and the bullets of the flintlock pistol rained down like raindrops, wave after wave as if there was no end.

Now Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng suffered a big loss, they were all wearing armor, it was nothing, but their bodies were tinkling, and their subordinates were miserable, falling row after row, and thousands of people fell in a short time.

Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were frightened, and hurriedly commanded their subordinates to flee back to the camp, and Wang Ziyong and Zhang Xianzhong in the back were also so frightened that they stopped there and did not dare to go forward.

There was an ambush on the side! Moreover, the king of Lu Yan got a batch of gunpowder guns from nowhere, and the firepower was so fierce that people didn't have the courage to rush forward at all.

Since the left side is like this, the right side must be about the same, now the only possible safe path is the back, it is better to go over the mountains than to land on the head, Gao Yingxiang gritted his teeth, led his men to the back mountain, Li Zicheng naturally followed without hesitation, Wang Ziyong and Zhang Xianzhong and others next to him glanced at each other, and also silently followed.

They didn't encounter any ambush at the foot of the mountain, but looking at the steep slope, they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly. But if you don't turn over, you will die, and the choice between dead and half-dead is not difficult, everyone has chosen to climb the mountain, and there is always a time to slow down when you are tired and half dead, if you are dead, then there will be nothing.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know that Houshan could escape, but he had so many people in total, if he divided another wave to cut off the retreat of Houshan, then there would only be 50,000 or 60,000 people on the front, and 50,000 or 60,000 people would be used to impact 130,000 people, and it was okay to face some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the problem Wang Jiayin's subordinates were not shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and their combat effectiveness was strong, so it was really hard to say whether they could be dispersed, if they were not dispersed, it would be to send food to people!

The only thing he didn't know was that Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang still retained their military power, and their subordinates were not completely handed over to Wang Jiayin's command, and Wang Jiayin's real subordinates were only fifty or sixty thousand people. Therefore, the frontal battle was not as difficult as imagined, and 80,000 people went to attack 50,000 or 60,000 panicked thieves, and naturally it didn't take much effort to disperse. But this result was not as brilliant as he imagined, and in the last count, only twenty or thirty thousand thieves were caught, and only more than 10,000 were killed, and the others all fled, and none of the generals under Wang Jiayin were caught!
