Chapter 15 Can't Run
Lost the investigation for a while, and let go of Wu Sangui's family and a group of Ming soldiers, which made Chen Gui's face gloomy, and at this time he found the traces of the other party, and he did not pursue him desperately. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Chen Gui's men only had 100 people, most of them were cavalry, and they had been waiting for them, and they gathered quickly, and in less than a stick of incense, they left the garrison and headed towards Ding'anmen.
On the other side, Liu Zongmin's pioneer battalion, about 200 officers and soldiers, is searching for Chen Yuanyuan's traces along the official road in the north, if it is Wu Sangui's rest of the family who escapes, Liu Zongmin will not care, but it is Chen Yuanyuan, and for this reason, ten soldiers were also lost, which made Liu Zongmin annoyed, and even Qihuamen did not fight, and directly sent troops to search for this group of remnants.
When the pioneer battalion arrived near Shuntianfu, they heard a loud noise and immediately understood what was going on, and the officers who led the team hurriedly gathered everyone and chased after Ding'anmen as well........
For a time, Chen Gui's 100 cavalry, 200 infantry in the vanguard battalion, and 2,000 iron cavalry sent by Li Zicheng all converged towards Ding'anmen, and this battle was not a big one.
"I'm good! I didn't expect this black powder to be so powerful! Li Hongfei, who was less than 200 meters away from the explosion site, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This is only black powder, if it is the same weight of yellow explosives, or TNT, the wall will probably have to be blown up.
Li Hongfei, who really came into contact with explosives for the first time, felt that his entire world view had been refreshed, although he had often seen various explosion scenes on TV before, and even the shocking scenes of nuclear explosions.
But there was a monstrous fire in front of him, and then there was a loud bang, and then even the earth trembled, and the strong wind that blew through the air waves even made people unable to open their eyes.
When such a scene appeared in front of Li Hongfei, he really felt the power of thermal weapons.
Li Hongfei was shocked, but he often used firearms, and Zhu Youzhen, Wang Guoxing and others, who were used to seeing this kind of scene, calmed down a lot.
"Hurry up, such a movement, it is estimated that it will not be long before the thieves will chase after them." Wang Guoxing said while patting the dirt on his body.
Although he ran out of the explosion point a hundred meters away, the strong air wave still lifted it away and fell on the dirt road on the side, fortunately Li Hongfei did not put gravel and thistle in the explosives bag before, otherwise Wang Guoxing would have been beaten into a sieve at this time.
As for the city gate in front of you, not to mention, this kind of wooden city gate, the first time it exploded, it was blown apart, leaving only some residual wood chips, which were still connected to the city wall, ignited by the high temperature, forming a ring of fire.
The gates of the city are opened, and if you don't run now, you won't run when.
According to the route agreed in advance, everyone first went east to Jizhou (now Jixian County), which was still under the jurisdiction of Chengguo, as long as they could enter the boundary of Jizhou, this breakthrough would be considered a complete success.
"Wang ....... Wang Aiqing, I ..... I really can't run, so I'll rest first. A group of ten people ran out of five miles in one go, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't stand it at first.
He is the Ninety-Five, he usually goes out in a sedan chair or on horseback, and it is really the first time that he has been marching continuously like this for most of the night, and he has been able to hold on to it until now, and he has indeed gritted his teeth and persevered.
And Li Hongfei has long lost the strength to speak, and the reason why he has not shouted to stop is because Zhu Youzhen has not spoken.
Now that they are out of the capital, if he holds the shelf of the gods again, it is estimated that he will be abandoned by the kingdom in the wilderness, after all, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the ancient people did not do a lot, especially the Zhu dynasty, which is a ruthless lord.
As for Chen Yuanyuan, perhaps it is because women are born with strong patience, although they move slowly, they follow the team closely along the way, and they have never complained.
"The emperor can't rest, once the thieves catch up, it will be a failure! Or Weichen continued to hurry with the saint on his back. Wang Guoxing said.
From Andingmen, there are only three roads to choose from: east, west, and north, and there are no forks in the road within a radius of ten miles from these three roads, which means that Li Zicheng's army really wants to pursue, and only needs to divide the troops into three roads, and they can definitely find them.
Even if you want to rest, you have to walk at least five miles further until you have a fork in the road or an easy place to hide.
"It's useless, even if you carry the emperor on your back, everyone's speed is not fast, if Li Zicheng is determined to pursue, it is estimated that the cavalry sent will be cavalry, and even if our two legs run to death, we can't outrun those four-legged brutes." Li Hongfei gasped and said.
Damn, Zhu Youzhen has someone to carry it, Li Hongfei doesn't have such treatment, if he really follows Wang Guoxing's method, it is estimated that he doesn't have to wait for Li Zicheng's pursuers, Li Hongfei will have to run away, so he will never agree to this unfair treatment.
"What should I do in my opinion?" Zhu Youzhen was also reluctant.
If you are carried on your back, it's okay, but if you are carried on your back, it's even more uncomfortable than riding a horse, and as Li Hongfei said, how can two legs run over the enemy's four legs, now Wang Guoxing and others still have the strength to fight, if they flee on their backs, they consume a lot of physical strength, and it is estimated that they will be caught up by the other party, which is a dead end.
"Commander Wang, are you familiar with this area, and do you know that there are villages or the like around here?" Li Hongfei first asked if there were any villages nearby.
"About two miles ahead, there is indeed a village." Wang Guoxing thought about it for a while, and then said.
"The enemy can chase now, there must be no doubt that the cavalry, and although the cavalry is strong, it is not as careful as the infantry search, we might as well go into the village to hide, first, we can find out if there is a carriage or other means of transportation, second, it is difficult for the cavalry to enter the village to exert their mobility ability, plus if it is dark today, it is expected that they will not be able to search the village carefully." Li Hongfei proposed.
He really can't run, as a modern person, the amount of exercise every day is not much more than the emperor, going out is either a bus or a subway, occasionally extravagant to take a beat, who can walk more than ten miles a day!
The group decided to follow Li Hongfei's method, and not long after everyone walked forward again, they found a small village next to the official road.
The whole village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is all primeval forest, only this entrance and exit next to the official road, it can be said that once entered, if the enemy army followed and searched, everyone had nowhere to escape.
As for entering the primeval forest, this is not the era of the 21st century, when even tigers have become super-protected animals, in this kind of primeval forest infested by wolves, bears, blind bears, wild boars, and Siberian tigers, once entered, it is very dangerous.
This is also the reason why Wang Guoxing did not mention this village before.
Li Hongfei can only gamble now, betting that the enemy army is only cavalry, and he does not know the escape tools used by his side, the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, even Wang Guoxing feels that hiding here is a dead end, and the enemy army should not enter the village to search if Li Hongfei and others have horses.
"Put out the torches and sneak into the village, so that no one will find out." Li Hongfei commanded in a low voice.
Regardless of whether the villagers in the village were friends or foes, he did not want to alarm these people, and some villagers in the province lit up their lights to attract the attention of the pursuers.
However, as soon as everyone came to the entrance of the village, Wang Guoxing suddenly said very solemnly: "Something is wrong with this village, let's not go in, everyone be careful and exit slowly." ”
