Chapter 294: The Ant That Leverages Destiny
The situation that Boyan feared the most became a reality, and after only a day's delay, the Dragon Sparrow Army caught up. Although the early warning post released by the Yuan army for more than ten miles discovered the Dragon Bird Army in advance and sent back the warning signal, the Dragon Bird Army appeared too quickly.
The rapid pursuit was a fast pursuit team of the Dragon Bird Army, only about 100 people, all of whom were selected mountain warriors who were good at climbing mountains and crossing cliffs. Not only is each person equipped with a musket, but also a melee short gun, and is also equipped with cold weapons such as throwing knives and axes, bows and arrows, and even carries a tiger roar cannon, which can be described as well-equipped.
The task of this rapid pursuit team is to catch up with and entangle the fleeing Boyan army, and buy time for the follow-up chasing army to destroy Boyan. In order to accomplish this arduous task, the pursuit party even pursued it overnight, so that no less than seven or eight soldiers fell off the cliff.
Under such a heavy sacrifice, he finally arrived at Bakou Village three days later, broke through the Yuan army police post, killed in front of the village, opened the gate of the village with a tiger's roar, and launched a strong attack on the Yuan army.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is very large, but in an environment like the valley where there is no force at all, the advantage of forces is greatly weakened. This is also the confidence of the Dragon Bird Army to dare to send an advance team of 100 people to pursue the strong enemy.
Boyan soon discovered the Song army's attempt, and immediately made a decision, letting Liu Jun lead 500 people to defend the village, and lead the generals of Mengyuan and the Hebi Red Army to evacuate.
This kind of blocking the gun for his boss made Liu Jun very dissatisfied, and even more so that although he was a 10,000 household, he couldn't command these 500 Mongolian soldiers at all. The real commander was his lieutenant, a Mongol thousand-householder.
So after barely resisting for a whole day, when he saw the follow-up army of the Song army appearing, Liu Jun directly gave the order to retreat, and then the first to turn around and run.
But before he could take ten steps, an arrow pierced through his chest. Liu Jun looked back in amazement, and saw the Mongolian thousand households slowly retracting their bows, with indescribable contempt in their eyes: "Nanren, always run like rabbits, none of them are reliable, all of them should be damned!" ”
Liu Jun vomited blood, his beard was hedgehog, and the halberd pointed outside the village, and roared: "Right now, outside the village...... After...... You will be like dogs...... It's also a southerner! ”
Mongolian Qianhu's face changed suddenly, and he angrily opened his bow and arrow, aimed at Liu Jun, and sneered: "It's a pity, you are not and are not qualified to be such a southerner!" ”
Sou!
Liu Junhun didn't care about the flying deadly arrow, he looked at the sky blankly, and there was a trace of remorse in his eyes - he knew that this was the case, why didn't he die in the sand battle in a dignified manner, and he could still leave a name for serving the country and youth, why did he end up being regarded as a rabbit and killed like a rabbit? ! If you could go back in time, how nice it would be to be able to choose again......
Half an hour after Liu Jun fell, he pulled out the village and broke it.
At this time, Boyan, Instigation and other Hebi Red Army have fled from Bakou Village for most of the day, and it is only a day away from Ruijin.
……
The thunder was faint, the rain was pouring down, and the rain hung a curtain of water in front of the mouth of the cave.
Wu Shibiao, Xiao Wu and the five miners who survived the catastrophe were drenched, looking up at the water curtain in front of the cave with their dirty black faces. The thunder rumbled in the sky, and the stomachs of the seven people in the cave gurgled, high and low, as if the thunder was in harmony.
At this moment, Wu Shibiao looked very miserable, a dirty gray cloth ring wrapped around his head, knotted in his chin, and the blood oozing from the top of his head had coagulated into brown. The face full of flesh was washed out by the rain and blood, and it was immersed in deep folds of flesh, and the whole face looked as terrifying as a barbarian who had smeared his face with blood to perform some kind of ritual.
However, what is really frightened at this moment is Wu Shibiao himself - his life is really picked up!
At that time, if it weren't for Baijianu who was frightened by the sound of cannons and cut off with a knife, his head would not have been his own. Rao was like this, and the knife still swept through the top door, cutting off a layer of oily skin and a large lock of hair on the top of his head...... It was really a turn before the ghost gate closed.
After that, the Mongols could no longer take care of this group of miners, and Wu Shibiao and seven other miners also took advantage of the chaos to escape. Of course, they are afraid of the Mongols, and they are also afraid of the Song people, you must know that they are the criminals of the Great Song Dynasty, the Mongols want to kill when they see them, and the Song army will also kill when they see most of them, how can they not run?
The seven of them panicked, so they just went into the mountains and forests, and went around in this barren mountain and mountain for a whole day, only getting a little wild fruit to satisfy their hunger. Before I got out of the mountains, I encountered a downpour, if I was not lucky, I found a small cave to shelter from the rain, and was drenched by this heavy rain all night, with the weakness of seven people, I am afraid that half of them will fall the next day.
The seven of them just stared at the hazy outside the cave, and they just stayed up all night. Until the second time, the rain stopped, and the sky was faintly red, as if it was about to come out of the sun.
Looking at the red color in the sky, the eyes of the seven people, who had been dull all night, finally became angry, and they helped each other out of the cave, and walked in the direction of Ruijin with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
In the afternoon, on a mountain range, Wu Shibiao and the seven people lying in the grass looked at the mountain road below, gasping and dumbfounded.
The mountain road below is the only passage to Ruijin. And at this moment, it was dense, and I was afraid that there would be thousands of Tartar soldiers, like a giant caterpillar with a fierce momentum, winding along the mountain road.
Xiao Wu's face turned white, and he wailed again and again: "It's over, it's over!" This road is full of Tartar soldiers, and there are a large number of sentry agents in the front and back of the large army for more than ten miles, and we can't go down at all. Trapped in this barren mountain for two days, we will not be starved to death, but also matured to death by wild beasts! ”
Wu Shibiao hated to stare at the large army of the Yuan army on the mountain road, and his mind flashed back to what he had seen and heard last night. Obviously, this Yuan army is fleeing, and the Song army, which suddenly killed last night and indirectly saved his life, is pursuing.
It's only a day's journey from Ruijin, and despite the heavy rain last night, the mountain road is muddy and difficult to walk, but it can be reached in two days at most. Looking at the situation, the fierce Song army is afraid that it will not be able to catch up......
Wu Shibiao shook his head and gritted his teeth: "The Yuan Tartars by these dogs are a hundred times more fierce and cruel than the beasts, and Lao Tzu would rather provoke the beasts." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly his eyes froze, staring at a Tartar general riding a war horse at the foot of the mountain. This Yuan army was basically infantry, and only a few people rode horses, so this cavalry general stood out in the long procession and was very eye-catching.
"It's the Tartar who killed a thousand knives!" Wu Shibiao's eyes erupted into fire, and he subconsciously touched his brain, which was still in severe pain, and the cold light that almost killed him flashed in his mind, as well as Xiao Liu's pale and numb face......
Wu Shibiao trembled: "All back!" ”
The six people looked back in surprise: "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”
Wu Shibiao's face was hideous, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, and he stomped the mud and stones under his feet that had been soaked in rain overnight and looked quite loose: "Let's push these rocks down the mountain, not only can we kill some dog-Tartars, ask for some interest for Xiaoliu and them, but also block this road!" ”
"Huh?!" Xiao Wu and the others were both surprised and puzzled, they could understand it by pushing down the rocks and killing a few Tartars to relieve their anger, but what was the use of blocking these Tartar soldiers?
Xiao Wu ate and said: "Even if the mountain road is blocked, so many Tartar soldiers can be re-dug in a day and a half at most, it's useless!" ”
Wu Shibiao's eyes flashed brightly: "It's useless to us, but what about the Song army chasing behind?" ”
Xiao Wu and the others' eyes slowly lit up: "Big brother, we can be regarded as meritorious." ”
"Why, that's a big deal." Wu Shibiao slapped his thigh, "This deal is too much, do it!" ”
Just when Wu Shibiao and the seven of them endured hunger and fatigue, broke off the branches and worked hard to dig loose mud and stones, and even tried their best to pry the largest boulder on the top of the mountain, artificially creating a mudslide, Boyan, who was trekking the muddy mountain road, said to the instigators around him: "Fortunately, this rain comes and goes in a hurry, if it is another day or two, our army will be buried in the depths of this group of mountains." ”
The instigator even claimed: "Fortunately, with the blessing of Immortal Heaven, it gave our warriors a way to live." ”
Boyan prayed in a low voice, drawing a cross on his chest.
However, Boyan and Instigation never dreamed that it was not God who was about to cut off the way of their army, but a few miners who were like ants in his eyes.
