Chapter 344: Continue South

"Great!" Wu Ruxiao rejoiced, since covering Yang Xiaoshan all the way to the south, every day is torment, and the feeling of being chased and killed is really terrible, but fortunately, this is about to end, and a new mileage is about to begin.

Yang Xiaoshan was about to leave, when suddenly a heavenly soldier from the rear army came over to report: "King Dong, King Gu, the big thing is not good." The king was surrounded by the Hunan army in the Huangfen Mountain, and he did not break out for three days. ”

When Yang Xiaoshan heard this, he immediately stopped, frowned, and said, "Old Wu, you lead the team to join the Ganwang and go first, and I will go to rescue the king back." ”

The herald hurriedly said: "The king has repeatedly explained, Luo Xuan's fleet can only stay for a while, I heard that the Huai army has leased foreigners' ironclad ships to block the coastline here, and there will be no chance to leave later." ”

As soon as Wu Ruxiao heard this, he immediately said to Yang Xiaoshan: "King Dong, you go first." I, old Wu, will save the king. ”

"Old Wu, don't fight with me." How can Yang Xiaoshan rest assured that Lao Wu will go, in order to take care of himself, he has not rested for several days, he is so old, his body must not be able to bear it.

"Heaven can do without my old Wu, but it can't do without you, the king of the east." Lao Wu resolutely did not let Yang Xiaoshan go to danger.

"We can't ignore the king, so let's let the wounded soldiers and the brothers of the front army get on the boat first, and we will take eight hundred light cavalry back to save the king and come back." Yang Xiaoshan made a compromise arrangement.

"Okay, just take my old Wu with you." Wu Ruxiao agreed.

In an ancient temple on the Huangfen Mountain, there were only more than 200 brothers left under the command of the king Li Shixian, who played the honor guard of the king of the east to attract the Hunan army to surround and buy time for the other brother troops to escape. But they saved others but couldn't save themselves, and the Hunan army chased after them like chicken blood, and was finally forced to come here and surrounded by groups in Huangfen Mountain.

It was getting late, night fell, the Hunan army suspended the offensive, and Li Shixian finally got a respite. In the moonlight, the remaining brothers did not dare to light a fire, they sat around and warmed each other.

"Will we die here?" A young little warrior had some fear in his voice.

"You are Li Junshuai's son Xiaoshi, don't be afraid, we are still together, we will die together, and we will be a good man again in thirty years!" Li Shixian said with a big grin, there are too many battles on the battlefield, and life and death have long been seen lightly, but I don't know if Dongwang has successfully broken through and gone to Taiwan.

There was silence on the mountain, but the voice of the Hunan army came from the bottom of the mountain to persuade him to surrender: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is finished, you surrender quickly!" ”

"Surrender to avoid death, and if you want to live, hurry down the mountain and surrender."

。。。。。。

Li Shixian stood up and frowned: "These demons don't stop at night. ”

Li Shixian looked at everyone's faces and said loudly: "Brothers, let's talk ugly ahead, we are now on a desperate road, if you want to live, hurry up, I, Li Shixian, will not stop you." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one wants to leave.

"We are willing to be faithful to the kingdom of heaven!"

"Death is death, isn't it just a big scar on the neck, nothing to be afraid of!"

"Kill one to protect the capital, kill two to earn one, let's fight with the Qing Demon!"

。。。。。。。

None of the more than 200 people were willing to surrender to the Qing Demon, and everyone encouraged each other to fight the Qing Demon to the end.

Li Shixian's heart was hot, and tears almost burst out of his eyes: "Good brother, I, Li Shixian, can't stand everyone, let's be good brothers in the next life." ”

At this time, a team suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, they were holding torches, firing guns all the way, and seemed to deliberately expose themselves, this was the cavalry led by Yang Xiaoshan, he knew that the Hunan army wanted himself, so he simply walked out and attracted the enemy to chase.

Bao Chao saw that Yang Xiaoshan's eyes were green, and immediately revoked his plan to go up the mountain to encircle and annihilate the last bit of the Taiping army, and led the team to chase Yang Xiaoshan away.

And Wu Ruxiao secretly rescued Li Shixian and his party after the Qing army left, and then went to meet Yang Xiaoshan at the agreed place.

Although Yang Xiaoshan rescued Li Shixian, he missed Luo Xuan's fleet, and the Huai army rented foreigners' warships to completely block the coast in this area. Luo Xuan couldn't stay here for a long time, so he had to take Hong Renji and others to Taiwan first. Of course, he also sent people ashore to leave a message, preparing to pick up Yang Xiaoshan again in Ningde, Fujian.

Yang Xiaoshan continued to advance south with more than 1,000 brothers such as Wu Ruxiao and Li Shixian, but the large decrease in numbers made their journey more and more difficult.

"Grandma's, these small landlords don't even pay back the price, and directly refuse us." Li Shixian didn't get the food, and came back dejected. "If it weren't for the East King not letting us entangle with them, I really wanted to demolish their village." The so-called grain is to surround the village to ask for food, usually the landlord will spend money to eliminate the disaster, the two sides bargain with each other, draw up a number and then get along.

"Hey, they see that our heavenly kingdom is no longer good, and we have so few people, so they are very bold. Forget it, let's find another village. Wu Ruxiao comforted.

"Our Heavenly Kingdom made a comeback, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for the world, he even his father and children were captured by the Overlord of Chu, and in the end, he didn't win the world." Yang Xiaoshan cheered everyone up.

"Yes, the king of the east is right, Li Zicheng only had eighteen horsemen left that year, and in the end, he didn't capture the capital and forced Chongzhen to hang himself." Wu Ruxiao agreed.

"Well, let's hurry up, as long as we get to Taiwan, we will rebuild the kingdom of heaven!" Li Shixian was also re-inspired and full of confidence.

Yang Xiaoshan kept cheering everyone up all the way, and the speed of the march began to speed up, gradually throwing off the large army of the Hunan army.

Bao Chao was anxious when he learned of this situation, he abandoned his large army, and simply took only 2,000 cavalry and went straight to Yang Xiaoshan.

"Quick, give me a hard time to catch up!" Bao Chao was really anxious, seeing that Yang Xiaoshan was about to cross Zhejiang and go to Fujian. The situation in Fujian is complicated, there are many mountains and roads, and it is really difficult to find which ravine Yang Xiaoshan is hiding in.

Bao Chao kept whipping the war horse under his crotch, marching day and night. Under the leadership of his leading soldiers, his cavalry team spared no effort to move forward, and it was indeed a very effective team.

"Lord Admiral, you see, there seems to be a horseshoe print of a long-haired team ahead." A pro-soldier came to report.

Bao Chao got off the horse, looked at the horseshoe prints, touched them with his hand, and then said loudly: "Brothers, Changmao has just passed by here, I'm afraid that just two hours ago, if you work harder, we will definitely be able to catch up with them." ”

Bao Chao's team is one person and two horses, riding in turn, while the Taiping Army has many people with one horse and two people, and no matter how fast it is, it is not as fast as Bao Chao's cavalry team. Finally, at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian, he was caught up by Bao Chao.

A big war is about to break out.
