Chapter 18 is all about women causing trouble
I thought that it would be safe enough to escape so far in a row, but I didn't expect that Li Zicheng's army would really chase it out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Could it be that the other party knows the identity of the emperor?" Wang Guoxing guessed.
In his opinion, only Chongzhen's identity can attract the other party and bite like a group of mad dogs.
"Who knows, order everyone to extinguish the torches and retreat into the village." Li Hongfei said.
There are only two war horses in the entire Qi family army, although Li Hongfei now wants to ride one of them to escape, but he can't ride a horse at all, and at the speed of a cavalry, it doesn't take long to ride two or three kilometers, and now it's too late to ride a horse, so he can only choose to temporarily retreat into the village, hoping that the other party will not notice here.
Sure enough, not long after everyone put out the torches, there were bursts of horses' hooves on the official road, and even Li Hongfei could hear it clearly.
However, he can only listen to the sound at most, if he can see the appearance of the team leader, Li Hongfei will not be curious, why the other party is chasing after him.
Because the leader of this cavalry team is Chen Gui, who was deceived by Li Hongfei before.
It turned out that after the explosion in Andingmen, due to the distance, Chen Gui's cavalry, the soldiers of the pioneer battalion, and the 2,000 cavalry sent by Li Zicheng arrived at the scene almost at the same time.
The three teams of men and horses first observed the vicinity of the explosion point, although it felt incredible, but for the use of firearms, everyone was no longer surprised, just as a new weapon of the Ming army.
As for the general who led the 2,000 cavalry, when he learned that the Ming army who had escaped might only be a group of more than 10 people, he was completely disinterested, and just ordered everyone to search the neighborhood as if he were dealing with an errand, and hastily withdrew his troops, which was also similar to what Li Hongfei and others expected.
But this general is not interested in pursuing, it does not mean that Chen Gui and the pioneer battalion are willing to give up, one is to lose face, and the other is the person Liu Zongmin named to get it.
As soon as these two groups of people combined, they felt that the other party was most likely to flee eastward, so Chen Gui didn't say a word, and led his subordinates to chase east.
Originally, there were only more than ten people on the other side, and Chen Gui's 100 cavalry could completely deal with it, but the pioneer battalion came for Chen Yuanyuan, so he naturally didn't want Chen Yuanyuan to fall into Chen Gui's hands again, so he also took a step and chased towards the official road to the east.
If Zhu Youzhen knew that this group of frenzied soldiers was purely for a Chen Yuanyuan, as an emperor, his value was not even as good as that of a geisha from Qinhuaihe, and he didn't know how he should feel.
Li Hongfei's previous idea was very good, he thought that although the cavalry was powerful, it was not as careful as the infantry search, and there was no light in the village, maybe the other party would not enter the village to search.
But he ignored one of the most critical military common sense, and also ignored the wisdom of the ancients..........
"There is a village here, if the other party is on foot, plus a weak woman, at most you can escape here, if the other party rides a horse, and then it is ten miles of slope, we will not gain anything if we continue to chase, brothers enter the village, give me a careful search!" After Chen Gui finished speaking, he urged the war horse under his crotch, entered the path on the side, and headed towards the village.
Chen Gui's analysis is indeed correct, Li Hongfei and the others can escape here is the limit, if it weren't for Chen Yuanyuan gritting his teeth all the way and insisting that they didn't fall behind, they would have been able to reach this village at most.
Now, although he arrived a lot in advance and chatted with Qi Hongying for a while, Zhu Youzhen can't run anymore, people are like this, often in order to reach the destination, they can grit their teeth and break through their own limits, but once they reach the destination, after their spirits are relaxed, they will no longer have the strength to move forward in a short time.
Of course, this goal must also be reasonable, if it is really according to Wang Guoxing's original formulation, walk a few miles forward, reach Shilipo and then rest, then Li Hongfei is estimated to be exhausted and die on the road.
"Are these guys dogs?" Li Hongfei couldn't help but mutter.
After all, he didn't expect that the other party really planned to enter the village to search, this was simply a naked slap in the face, and of course Li Hongfei was very unhappy in his heart.
"The opponent is not numerous, and he can fight." Qi Hongying quickly analyzed.
"The terrain here is not suitable for cavalry combat, let your people let them in, and then block the entrance to the village, and don't let any of them go." Li Hongfei commanded.
Since Qi Hongying said that he could fight, he had to annihilate the other party, otherwise once someone escaped, it would be troublesome to attract more intruders, you must know that this place is not far from Andingmen.
Besides, this group of people didn't give him Li Daxian face so much, and they couldn't let the other party eat and walked around.
"The last general commands!" After Qi Hongying finished speaking, she began to make tactical arrangements.
Li Hongfei has been following Zhu Youzhen around, and he has spoken more than the emperor, and more importantly, the emperor has never refutated, which makes Qi Hongying think that the other party should be a prince or something, so the tone of his speech is also extraordinarily respectful.
After all, at such a young age, it is impossible to become an important minister of the court.
And Li Hongfei is also enjoying this feeling more and more, giving orders, and pretending to be a tiger.
The entrance to the village is not wide, at most two horses can go together, in desperation, Chen Gui had to order everyone to get off the horse and walk, fortunately, the whole village is not big, it is estimated that it will not be long before the search can be completed.
"This village doesn't even have the sound of dogs barking, could it be abandoned a long time ago?" An adjutant said.
After all, they had encountered a lot of such situations along the way to attack the Jingshi.
In a village like this, where the whole village is relocated to escape the war, there is basically no "oil and water" to be fished.
"It's really unlucky, search for me, I can't find anyone, so I set fire to this broken village!" Chen Gui said angrily.
Originally, when he chased here, he didn't have much hope, but he saw a village and wanted to get some benefits in the name of searching.
It turned out that this was actually a deserted village, and when nothing could be gained, setting fire to the village was the most common means of retaliation.
Just when Chen Gui threatened to set fire to the village, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the house not far away, and a strong wind passed against Chen Gui's cheek, and then the deputy general standing beside him, covered his neck with his hands, and fell straight to the ground, blood spurted out from his neck, no matter how he pressed it, he couldn't stop, obviously he couldn't live.
"Enemy attack! Against! Chen Gui drew his war knife and shouted loudly.
"This broken bird, I obviously aimed at the big official, but it hit the person next to him, and the head is not as good as a slingshot!" The soldiers, who hid on the roof and fired, complained, and quickly pulled out the gunpowder bag and began to reload the ammunition.
"Come on, little ghost, this bird is older than you, and it's good to be able to kill people." The soldier in charge of the re-firing in the back row said as he aimed and fired.
He didn't know where the shot he had just fired had hit.
The equipment of the Qi family army is backward, and the firearms have not been replaced for nearly 20 years, and after the perennial wear and tear of the gun chamber, its crosshair deviation is too large, and the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are not precise enough, and the shooting basically depends on luck and firepower intensity.
"It's the Divine Machine Battalion! Don't fight, get out, get out! With the sound of gunfire around him, Chen Gui realized that something was wrong and quickly ordered a retreat.
