Chapter 1489: Defeat is like a mountain
At noon, the wind and clouds change, the morning is still sunny, and at noon, the clouds in the sky begin to be cloudy, but at the mouth of the meal, a heavy rain will fall from the sky.
The Tianshan logistics transport team had already received the news of the defeat at the front, and the transport team, which had been following behind to provide grain and grass equipment, immediately turned its head and hurriedly retreated westward.
The Tianshan transport team is transporting a large number of grain and grass materials, Zhu Lingyue led the Tianshan Army, known as the 100,000 army, to attack Xiguan, there are many people, the so-called three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, naturally know the importance of logistics supply, and although Zhu Lingyue is full of confidence in defeating Chu Huan, he did not completely underestimate the Xiguan Army at the beginning, and even felt that if he really wanted to defeat Xiguan, he was afraid that it would take a lot of twists and turns, so the logistics supply was also very sufficient.
Although nearly 2,000 Xiguan troops were stationed on Hulu Mountain, Zhu Lingyue only left a few thousand soldiers and horses stationed in dangerous places to contain the Xiguan army on Hulu Mountain, and not attack.
The total number of transport teams is nearly 20,000 people, except for nearly 2,000 soldiers, the others are recruited people, the news of the defeat in front came, the Tianshan general Ximen Quan, who was responsible for escorting grain and grass, knew that something was wrong, and the transport team even saw the Tianshan army defeated from the front line and fled to the west in despair.
It's just that the people saw the defeat of the Tianshan army, and those who were soldiers ran to the west without a head or a brain, and they knew that they were only afraid that there were still chasing soldiers from Xiguan behind them, and the soldiers were not ready to stay to resist, and the people were even more unwilling to listen to the order, so some of the people took advantage of the chaos and fled from the team, and Ximen Quan ordered the soldiers to kill more than ten people who were about to escape, and only then stabilized the situation a little.
It was difficult to march, and the sudden heavy rain made it even more difficult for the transport team, but Ximenquan knew in his heart that if these materials fell into the hands of the Xiguan people, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he was ready to quickly transport the materials and grain to Hezhou City in the rear, and when he knew from the mouth of the rout that Ganhou's Northwest Army had rebelled, Ximenquan was taken aback and hurriedly ordered the team to change the route and bypass Hezhou City.
He didn't forget, in Hezhou City, Ganhou left two thousand soldiers and horses to garrison, and if he bumped into it at this time, wouldn't it be a self-defeating net.
It was rainy, and Zhu Lingyue was already quite a wolf at this time.
Liu Quan was ordered by Zhang He, led more than 1,000 cavalry, escorted Zhu Lingyue all the way to the west, this cavalry was also loyal, and did not disperse, on the way to the west, it was rare to see the soldiers and horses that were defeated from the front, Zhu Lingyue's face was pale, and he ordered his cavalry to flee to the nearby soldiers and horses to reassemble, along the way, it was not easy to gather three or four thousand men and horses, and learned that the battle of the horse farm had completely collapsed and defeated, Zhu Lingyue spurted out a mouthful of blood again.
Zhu Lingyue led three or four thousand defeated troops under his hand, fled west in the rain, and soon saw a huge group of men and horses in front of him, and Pegasus caught up, which was the grain transportation team of Tianshan Mountain.
The grain transport team saw that there were soldiers and horses chasing behind, startled, Ximen Quan shouted that the soldiers under his command were ready to resist, taking advantage of the chaos, there was a large group of people fleeing in the rain, and when they found that it was Zhu Lingyue who caught up behind, Ximen Quan was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Zhu Du, it's good that you are safe and sound...... ”
Zhu Lingyue saw that the convoy was no longer in formation in the rain, and frowned, but although the formation was chaotic, the grain and grass equipment were still there, and he immediately ordered: "Speed up and continue to ...... west!" But he was worried in his heart, he was afraid that Chu Huan's soldiers and horses would catch up from behind, so he reorganized the team at the moment, he led the soldiers and horses behind, and Ximen Quan led the transport team to speed up in front.
Although the army was defeated in the horse farm, Zhu Lingyue also thought in his heart, at least Tianshan was still in his hands, as long as he returned to Tianshan, reorganized his troops and horses, and guarded the key road, Chu Huan might not be able to enter it, the key was that this batch of grain and grass was too important, as long as it could be kept, it would be his capital to resist Chu Huan.
Although he played his own banner at this time, attracting people's eyes and ears, but Zhu Lingyue also took a risk, he asked people to beat out his handsome flag, and even let his soldiers and horses gather the rout, which also had some effect, those headless flies-like rout soldiers saw Zhu Lingyue's handsome flag, but gathered here, and soon gathered one or two thousand men and horses, adding up to seven thousand soldiers and horses in their hands.
With these six or seven thousand people under his hands, Zhu Lingyue's courage became stronger, and he also knew that going to Hezhou City at this time was undoubtedly self-defeating, and the four gates of the soldiers and horses defending the city were closed, and he could not enter the city at all, so he chose a good route and prepared to bypass the south of Hezhou City, and by dusk, Zhu Lingyue was already exhausted, but he could only hold on, riding on horseback, he was actually squinting in a daze, as if he was sleeping.
Suddenly, I heard someone exclaim: "Oh no, the people of Xiguan have caught up, and the people of Xiguan have caught up......!" ”
Zhu Lingyue was awakened in an instant, and was taken aback, he had already heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves from the rear, and Liu Quan had already ridden over with a solemn expression: "Zhu Du, Chu Huan sent cavalry to catch up......!" ”
"Cavalry?" Zhu Lingyue frowned and said, "How many people are there?" Don't worry, Chu Huan's cavalry is very small, and when the order goes, the grain carts are lined up as a defense to block the cavalry impact...... Liu Quan, you lead your cavalry around to the north, don't act rashly, wait until they come and Ben Du is here to resist, and then you can kill ...... from the flank! ”
"Zhu Du ......!" Liu Quan smiled bitterly: "They have five or six thousand cavalry, and they are about to kill, and it is too late to ......!" ”
"Five or six thousand cavalry?" Zhu Lingyue was taken aback, "How is it possible?" Where did Chu Huan have so many cavalry? This...... That's impossible? There was no time for him to think about it, the Tianshan army that had gathered on the side heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the rear, and heard that it was the Xiguan cavalry chasing and killing, and he was immediately frightened, for a while, the Tianshan soldiers and horses that were originally in formation broke up in an instant, and the Tianshan soldiers and horses were already scattered and fled, Zhu Lingyue was shocked and angry, and shouted loudly: "Stop, all stand for the governor, don't be afraid, fight with them, stand for the governor, whoever escapes from the battle, there will be no forgiveness ......!" "Urging the horse forward, according to a rout of the soldier slashed over, blood splashed, but the Tianshan army after the battle of the horse farm, was already killed and cold, the defeat was like a mountain, the fighting spirit in the horse farm has completely collapsed, Zhu Lingyue at this time to kill the deserter, but it is to no avail, can only watch the soldiers and horses gathered along the way in an instant.
Originally, the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the grain transport team still had fighting spirit, but at this moment, seeing the collapse of their companions, no one wanted to stay as a substitute for the dead ghosts, and most of the 2,000 men and horses under the command of Ximen Quan also fled, and tens of thousands of people were scattered in an instant, and some brave people even carried grain from the car, and the vehicles and horses were scattered and discarded in the heavy rain.
Fortunately, the thousands of cavalry under Liu Quan did not escape, and at this moment, in the hazy rain, the cavalry in the rear had already appeared, and Liu Quan hurriedly shouted: "Zhu Du go quickly, Zhu Du go quickly, ...... Zhu Du go quickly!" ”
Zhu Lingyue did not hesitate, turned his horse's head and rushed westward, Liu Quan had already led the cavalry, followed closely behind, taking advantage of the chaos to flee westward, where could he take care of the grain and grass vehicles at this time.
The cavalry led by Xu Shao, like Mount Tai pressing the top, roared, and in addition to the 2,000 Xiguan cavalry under his command, there were 1,000 northwest cavalry and more than 3,000 Beishan cavalry.
The purpose of this cavalry is naturally to take the grain and grass of the Tianshan Army, led by Xu Shao, Xu Shao thought that he was going to fight, but before he could kill it, the Tianshan Army had already collapsed and scattered, and when he was killed, except for some soldiers and horses who were too late to react and had no time to escape, they barely resisted and made a revenant under the knife, but they did not suffer strong resistance.
Most of the people have dispersed in a hurry, and the rest of the people, except for some of them who resisted being killed, most of them also knelt down and surrendered, and the people who didn't have time to escape were even more hands behind their heads, squatting honestly, Xu Shao's cavalry naturally would not do anything to the people, and the cavalry shouted loudly to surrender and not kill, and it didn't take too long to end the fight.
Xu Shao turned over and dismounted, walked to the side of a carriage, the blade pierced into the sack, and the rice grains flowed out of it, and saw that the continuous convoy was as many as ox hair, full of grain and grass baggage, and his heart was very happy, and he ordered to go down, tidy up the convoy, and let the people of the Tianshan transport team continue to catch the car, he had seen the handsome Tianshan cavalry fleeing, and inquired, and learned that Zhu Lingyue had just escaped, and immediately ordered two thousand cavalry, personally led the men and horses to pursue, and left the cavalry to protect the grain and grass baggage, and waited for the arrival of the main force.
Zhu Lingyue fled in the rain at this time, and didn't go far when he heard the sound of horses' hooves faintly behind him, knowing that the Xiguan cavalry was still chasing behind, and Liu Quan also knew that if he continued like this, he would be caught up by the Xiguan army sooner or later, so he said to Zhu Lingyue at the moment: "Zhu Du, the Xiguan army is in pursuit, we must divide the troops into two ways, the last general will lead people to lead them away, and Zhu Du will go south to avoid their pursuit." “
Zhu Lingyue knew that this was the best way at the moment, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he nodded in agreement, and only brought more than 20 people at the moment, and turned south, while Liu Quan led thousands of cavalry and continued to the west, leading away the pursuers behind.
Zhu Lingyue took more than 20 people, rushed south, I don't know how long he ran, there was no sound behind, he knew that he had indeed thrown off the Xiguan pursuers, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment people were sleepy and tired, the cold rain had wet his whole body, he had been in tension before, and he didn't feel anything, at this time, he got rid of the chasing soldiers, the whole person was a little more relaxed, and he felt that his whole body was extremely cold, and he looked left and right, there were only about 20 people around him, and they were all wolves. At this moment, he was in such a situation, sad and angry, that he suddenly felt dizzy, his body shook, his whole body was weak, and he fell from his horse.
