On the east bank of the Yellow River, a group of people and horses suddenly appeared, and the further back, the denser the people and horses became, as if the tide had risen.

Gao Yihuan rode on the black horse, stood on the side of the road, watched his subordinates run wildly, and many people also supported each other and walked quickly to the west, and from time to time someone fell to the ground, and then immediately got up again and continued to move forward.

Now the second brother has more than 8,000 war horses, and one horse per person is barely enough, but most of the soldiers have never even seen a horse a few times, let alone riding a horse.

Along the way, many soldiers tried to ride up and gallop, but now most of them are lying on the cart with the wounded soldiers, so that the army has so many horses, but not many people ride, and only some of them can barely sit down and walk slowly, which makes the second brother feel aggrieved.

The speed of the Qing army was much faster than Gao Yihuan expected, and Bolo behind him hated Gao Yihuan, and he kept chasing him day and night, and he had already appeared behind Gao Yihuan.

If you have so many war horses, and you run for a few days first, and you are chased by the Tartars, then Gao Yihuan is as ridiculous as holding a golden rice bowl and starving to death.

At this time, it was the sixth day of Gao Yihuan's retreat from Nanwang Lake to the west, that is, this morning, the men and horses behind found that the Qing army had chased after him.

On the way to retreat from Nanwang Lake to the west, Gao Yihuan met many people who fled to Guide on the way, some of them were the people who were taken captive in Nanwang Lake, and some were the people of Chengwu County who did not follow Ji Guofeng to Xuzhou a few days ago, but turned to Guide and went to Guide.

Gao Yihuan originally thought that most of these people would run to Nanzhili, after all, it was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time it was relatively wealthy, but who knew that many people did not go south, but fled to the west, wanting to enter the territory controlled by the Dashun army.

Gao Yihuan was a little puzzled at first, but then asked, and then thought about it a little before he understood.

Every time the Qing army entered the army, it was actually a shake for the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and its rule in the north. Every time the Qing army entered the army, it would bring disaster to the people, and at the same time show the powerlessness of the Ming Dynasty in front of the people. If it was only once or twice, the people might still be able to bear it, but after five or six times, people couldn't bear it, so the people had no hope in the court at all.

The people of Shandong have not seen the ferocity and brutality of the thieves, but have heard the slogan of free grain in Juntian.

This time, the Qing army entered Koushan Mountain, which made them no longer believe in the imperial court, so they pinned their hopes on the thieves who rose in the west, and once they chose to believe in the slogan of the thieves to free food and pinned their hopes on Dashunguo, if you tell them that Li Zicheng is not a good person and is also very cruel, most of them will not believe it.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was still thirty miles away from the place of crossing the river, and it would take at least half a day for the army to reach the river.

"Wu Shizhao, did the person sent to report the news leave?" Gao Yihuan pulled off the reins of the horse and calmed the somewhat restless war horse under his crotch.

Wu Shizhao replied with a somewhat serious expression: "General Hui, the people sent out have already set off an hour ago to inform Xinghao and Liu Duwei to build a pontoon bridge."

Now Gao Yihuan has too many people, horses and materials, and the speed of transportation by ship is too slow, and there must be a pontoon bridge to pass quickly.

Gao Yihuan was still a little uneasy, seeing that the team retreating west had become a pot of porridge, and said in a deep voice: "You send people over again, let them move quickly, and ensure that as soon as my men and horses arrive, they can cross the river."

Wu Shizhao hurriedly clenched his fists to receive his life, and at this time, Liu Heizi rode over from behind, and shouted from afar: "Brother Gao, the Tartars are coming so fast, they are only forty or fifty miles away from us."

Gao Yihuan's face sank when he heard this, and he scolded: "Straight lady thief! I guess the Tartars didn't sleep, they must have been running all night, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast. ”

Liu Heizi ran over, saw the people and horses heading west in the field, and licked his lips, "Brother Gao, we really angered the Tartars this time." I don't think the Tartars in the back will stop until they kill us, and if the Tartars return to Germany, you have to help me. ”

"Brother Liu, now is not the time to consider whether the Tartars will fight and return to Germany, we must first cross the river." Gao Yihuan said casually, and his eyes couldn't help but sweep towards the team with some anxiety.

The distance of forty or fifty miles is a day for the infantry army, but the cavalry gallops wildly, and it can be killed in more than an hour without sparing horsepower.

At this time, Gao Yihuan saw that the generals around him showed a trace of panic on their faces, and Jin Shenghuan said worriedly: "General, now that the establishment is in chaos, once the Tartars catch up, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Gao Yihuan couldn't help but groan for a while, and suddenly waved his hand and said: "Jin Xiangang, you asked the brothers to throw away all the materials on the cart, vacate the vehicle, and let the soldiers with blistered soles and the brothers who are physically exhausted also sit on the car." If there is still a place, take some people with them, and if not, drive them off the official road, let them run in the north and south directions, and do not flee to the west again. ”

Now Gao Yihuan has formed an establishment except for a small number of people, and the rest have been out of chaos. If the Tartar cavalry caught up at this time, it would definitely be a massacre.

Jin Xiangang didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly turned around with his fists clenched, but Liu Heizi had a painful face.

Gao Yihuan looked at him and said, "Brother Liu, if you abandon the materials, you can only speed up a little, if you want the brigade to cross the river smoothly, we have to make some trouble for the Tartars."

Liu Heizi was very alert, his eyes were withdrawn from Jin Xiangang, who was leaving, and his face sank, "Brother Gao, you don't want your brother Liu to break off, right?" ”

At this time, after staying and breaking off, Liu Heizi was worried that he was really going to die, he didn't want to die by himself, and finally cheap Gao Yihuan.

Gao Yihuan saw Liu Heizi's suspicious gaze, and knew that Liu Heizi would not break off easily. In fact, for Gao Yihuan, Liu Heizi can be broken, it is naturally the best for him, Liu Heizi successfully broke off, and came back safely, Gao Yihuan has no loss, if Liu Heizi dies, then Gao Yihuan's war horse does not need to be divided, maybe he can inherit a part of Liu Heizi's inheritance.

Gao Yihuan saw Liu Heizi's reaction, and couldn't help but be surprised, "How can this black guy get smarter and smarter." This IQ has increased so fast. ”

"Haha~ Brother Liu, don't get me wrong, you and my brothers share weal and woe, so naturally we cross the river together." Gao Yihuan saw Liu Heizi's distrustful eyes, so he could only dispel his original thoughts, and said with a smile: "Besides, I promised my sister-in-law that I would definitely take Brother Liu back, how could I break my promise?" ”

Liu Heizi heard him mention the Deng clan in a very familiar tone, and couldn't help but squint and said, "How does Brother Gao want to make trouble for Tartar." ”

Gao Yihuan didn't say it explicitly, "Brother Liu will gather the cavalry first, put on two more sets of armor for everyone, and then accompany two healthy horses, wait for my order~"
