Chapter 225: Chasing the Dead and Chasing the North
Early the next morning, in Liu Futong's Chinese army tent, Liu Futong, who was asleep, was suddenly woken up by the exclamations of his guards. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Marshal, something is wrong, something is wrong!" The guard roared like this, and couldn't help but scare Liu Futong, who was sleeping peacefully.
"What's the matter, isn't the Tartar going to break the net with us, and it's coming again!" After a spirit woke up, the disheveled Liu Futong looked at the guards under the tent, but he couldn't help asking.
However, when the pro-guard who came to report the news heard Liu Futong's words, he waved his hand again and again and said: "No, no, no, the marshal is the Tartar army withdrawing, it is the Tartar withdrawing!" ”
"The Tartar army has withdrawn!" Hearing the words of the guard, Liu Futong couldn't help but stare at him and exclaimed.
"That's right, the Tartar army has indeed withdrawn!" The pro-guard repeated in a loud voice again.
And after hearing the repetition of the guards under the tent again, Liu Futong, who had just woken up from his sleep, couldn't help but hurriedly put on his clothes, and didn't even have time to comb his hair, so he rushed out of his big tent in three steps and two steps, and strode towards the watchtower by the camp wall.
After hurriedly going up to the watchtower, Liu Futong looked at the empty camp of officers and soldiers a few miles away, and finally couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahaha, God help me, God help me, the Tartar soldiers are exhausted, and our army is victorious!" Speaking of which, Liu Futong, who had been suppressed for a long time, couldn't help laughing in public.
However, for coach Liu Futong's uncontrollable behavior, the generals and guards standing next to Liu Futong did not pay much attention to it. Because at this time, their hearts were already filled with the ecstasy brought about by the withdrawal of the Tartar army.
"Without the protection of my mother, I finally won, I finally won!" Wang Xianzhong, who firmly believes in the teachings of the childless mother and the White Lotus, is like this.
"Haha, victory is victory, Tartar has lost 100,000 soldiers and horses this time, it won't be long before we will be able to smash Huanglong!" Luo Wensu also shouted excitedly.
In fact, not to mention vulgar martial artists like Luo Wensu and Wang Xianzhong, even reserved literati like Du Zundao and Sheng Wenyu showed an unconcealable ecstasy on their faces.
"Hurry up, pass on the commander's military order, the three armies immediately make food, and after I have eaten enough, I will pursue to the northeast, this time, the commander will let these remnants of the army be defeated, and the horses will not be returned!" After the ecstasy, Liu Futong, who once again regained his former demeanor, couldn't help but order to the generals and officials beside him.
And these days, the red turban generals who have been pressed and beaten by the officers and soldiers, after hearing Liu Futong's words, they who are bent on beating the water dogs, naturally sang a fat promise at the first time, and strode back to prepare.
……
Almost two hours later, it was noon......
"Torre, how far have we come now?" Because of the overnight escape, the whole person looked extremely embarrassed, and after gulping down the water in the kettle, he looked at Torre, the commander of the guards who was riding his horse and following his carriage, but he couldn't help asking.
And the commander of the personal guard named Torrey, when he heard Ye Xian's question, first glanced at the kettle in Ye Xian's hand with envy, and licked his dry lips before opening his mouth and saying to Ye Xian: "My lord, we have walked sixty miles now, and at this rate, we should be able to reach Xiangcheng in three days." ”
"Three days, do you need to go for another three days?" Hearing such words, Ye Xian, who has always been pampered, couldn't help frowning like this.
Seeing Yexian like this, after frowning slightly, Torre could only explain to Yexian: "My lord, we are already on the nearest road now. But my lord, this is not an official road after all, not to mention the wilderness, the soldiers can only eat one and a half full at a time, so this marching speed is already the limit for us. ”
"Well, let's hope it's safe all the way!" Hearing Torre's words, the one sitting in the carriage could only sigh helplessly after frowning.
"Well, what's the matter, why didn't you stop ahead, why don't you keep going!" Saying that, after Ye Xian sighed like this, he was about to pull down the curtain of the carriage and prepare to rest for a while, but he couldn't help but feel that the carriage under his body suddenly stopped, so Ye Xian, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but shout like this.
"My lord, the brothers have been on the road for almost six hours, and they really can't walk, so please have mercy on me, and you can order me to rest for a while!" Hearing Yexian's roar, a general, who looked extremely tired, rode his horse to Yesen's carriage, then dismounted and came to Yesen's carriage, knelt in front of Yexian's carriage, and pleaded to Yexian.
However, Ye Xian, who had been sitting in the carriage, heard such words, but suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage, pointed at the general who was kneeling on the ground and scolded angrily: "You bastard, don't you know that the red scarf thief may chase after you at any time, do you want to kill the official?" ”
"Also, didn't the official tell you before leaving, until sunset, the army can't stop, why do you want to disobey?"
"The last will not dare, the last will not dare, it's just ...... Just ......"
"Shut up, don't tell me your nonsense, since you don't dare, then give me a step back and let the army move on. If the army stops again, I want you killed, you know! ”
"Understand, understand, the end will understand."
"Now that you understand, don't get out!"
"Yes, yes, the last will obey, the last will obey!" Hearing such a scolding from the first, the general who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to say anything anymore, and after kowtowing twice in a panic, the man couldn't help but retreat in a hurry.
"Hurry up, you plagued lazy people, don't fuck me and pretend to be dead, and my lord has an order, all the soldiers are not allowed to stay here, and they all fucking move for me." After the general came back from being scolded there first, he couldn't help but sprinkle all the anger in his heart on the soldiers.
Therefore, those soldiers who had stopped because of fatigue, under the whipping and angry scolding of the commanders, could not help but raise their lead-filled legs again, and continued to march forward little by little.
However, because they had no rest and no food, the speed of these soldiers could be imagined. Therefore, despite the constant whipping and urging of the generals who rode their horses and rode on their horses, the nearly 40,000 officers and soldiers only marched a mere thirty miles in an entire afternoon.
However, even so, nearly 40,000 officers and soldiers, and the number of soldiers who fell behind or fled along the way, still reached a staggering 3,000.
"My lord, the sun has set, and it's time for the soldiers to rest." Finally caught the sun setting, Torre, who was already a little unbearable in his heart, couldn't help but persuade Timur like this.
When Timur heard this, although he couldn't wait to return to the safe Xiangcheng in the next second, he was forced to do this thing due to practical reasons, so he had to nod silently and issued a military order to stop and rest.
"Your Excellency has an order, the whole army will camp here tonight to rest, and there is no need to march." As in the past, as the commander, as soon as the order was issued, it was immediately conveyed by the heralds one by one, but this time, the heralds who originally had a higher voice than one also seemed extremely powerless.
"Oops........." Hearing the herald's words, the soldiers who had long been unable to hold on, after a lament, couldn't help but collapse to the ground in an instant like puppets that had been drained of magic, it seemed that these people didn't even have the strength to eat, let alone camp.
"Bastard, whoever let you lie down like this, get up for me, tie up the tent and sleep!" Seeing this, a thousand-household official couldn't help but take a whip and whip the soldiers on the ground at the same time, and shouted so loudly.
However, these soldiers, who had been driving all day, still had the strength to camp at this time. Therefore, no matter how these hundred household officials scolded, these soldiers were still crowded together in groups to rest, and none of them had the idea of standing up and camping.
Not only did no one even stand up, but when the thousand-household official was whipping the soldiers everywhere, some unruly soldiers stared at him with resentful eyes, and silently put their hands on the hilt of the knife.
Seeing this, this Qianhu official and the guards beside him who could ride horses naturally did not dare to whip the soldiers anymore. Because they all know that they have forced this group of Qiu Ba in the army to be in a hurry, and they really dare to kill people.
"My lord, what should I do?" After seeing that the group of soldiers below had already shown signs of killing the officials in anger, he couldn't help but pick up his tail and came to his top boss, that is, the general Wanhu who was also reprimanded first, and asked the Wanhu official like this.
"What to do, what else to do, since they don't want to get up, then let them lie down like this, anyway, they can save a meal." After saying this, the ten thousand household officials couldn't help but leave without looking back. After all, with his identity, his guards had already set up a tent for him, so he didn't have to worry about this problem at all.
Seeing this, the thousand-household official secretly cursed the back of the thousand-household official, and then he could only gather a group of guards beside him and set up a camp in a so-so manner.
……
"General, catch up, catch up, finally fucking catch up!" Almost two hours later, at midnight, a cavalry officer of the Red Turban Army, who seemed to be a scout, reported with such joy to Luo Wensuyu, who was gnawing on dry food there, ten miles away where the officers and soldiers were resting.
And when Luo Wensu heard the scout's words, his face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but throw the jerky he was gnawing in his hand to the scout, and said with a laugh: "Damn, after chasing all day, the horse can't hold it anymore, but it can be regarded as catching up with this group of bastards." ”
"Hey, this group of Tartars' camps are not firmly entrenched, is it good to fight?"
And hearing Luo Wensu's question, the scout named Goudan first swallowed the jerky that Luo Wensu gave him, and swallowed it into his stomach, and after swallowing the last bite of food in his mouth, he said to Luo Wensu with a smile: "General, what kind of camp is there, those Tartars are tired like dogs because they are fleeing for their lives, and now they are sleeping more like dead pigs, it is estimated that even if we kill them with a knife, they will not wake up." ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Luo Wensu couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"General, it's true, whoever the villain deceives, he will never dare to lie to you!" Hearing that Luo Wensu didn't believe his words, the scout called Dog Egg couldn't help but say so.
And Luo Wensu heard the dog's words, and after glancing at the more than 3,000 horsemen behind him, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "Okay, since that's the case, then let's do those Tartars once tonight, so that they can see how powerful we are." ”
Speaking of this, Luo Wensu waved his hand, and couldn't help but let the horsemen under his command turn over and get on their horses.
And after the cavalry under his command all got on the horse one after another, Luo Wensu waved his sword, and he couldn't help shouting: "Brothers, the meritorious service is tonight, follow me!" After saying this, Luo Wensu couldn't help but rush out first.
And the three thousand cavalry behind Luo Wensu saw Luo Wensu like this, so they naturally roared one after another, and together with Luo Wensu, launched a night attack and charge against the army of officers and soldiers not far away.
……
"Pedal Pedal Pedal ...... Kill the Tartars!! "In the darkness of the night, the sound of three thousand horsemen charging up was so loud. Therefore, although it was said that the officers and soldiers were sleeping like dead pigs one by one, they naturally woke up one after another after hearing such an earth-shattering sound of rushing and killing.
"Oh no, no, the red turban thief is coming, the red turban thief is coming!" Because of the extreme cold and fatigue, the officers and soldiers who were originally like frightened birds, in their sleep, were suddenly awakened by the charging and shouting of Luo Wensu and the others, what kind of reaction they would have, naturally one can imagine.
Therefore, after the exclamation of "the red turban thief is coming", nearly 40,000 officers and soldiers rushed to flee for their lives like headless flies in the dark night. Then, these officers and soldiers, under the tremendous pressure of death, evolved into a terrible battalion roar.
"Kill...... Help me...... Run, run, run......" all kinds of screams, shouts, roars, and screams turned the vicinity into a chaotic hell for miles in an instant. Trampling, fighting, blood, and weapons have simply turned everyone in this area into devils.
"Rush rush! Rush forward for me and kill all these Tartars! At the beginning, Luo Wensu, who led the army to rush in, still thought about capturing Ye Xian alive. But when the camp broke out in an instant, when this area became a terrible and chaotic underworld, Luo Wensu completely gave up his original idea, and began to lead his cavalry to rush and kill frantically.
