A steamship slowly approached Beitang, and the guns on board, as if saluting, pointed to the shore.

For Wu Sangui's troops, the appearance of this steamship was simply a nightmare.

They had fled here in the first place, and they had already broken their guts, and the appearance of the steamship meant that the pursuers had also arrived!

Wu Sangui's words that were originally ready to impress the generals were interrupted by the sound of the whistle, and after he was stunned, he did not hesitate, ran forward quickly, grabbed his horse, and turned over on his horse.

"Let's go!"

He shouted, then urged his horse to flee.

"General, I will leave behind, you go quickly!"

One said loudly, and then led his men towards the sound of the whistle.

is the so-called wind knows the strength of the grass board and knows the hero, at this time, there are still people who are willing to fight to the death for Wu Sangui, this person's loyalty and martyrdom really rushed straight to Xiaohan, which is admirable.

Wu Sangui was grateful in his heart, and shouted from afar on the horse: "Don't worry, when I return to Beijing, I will treat your wife well!" ”

The previous sentence can still be heard, but by the time of the second sentence, the voice is already as ethereal as smoke, and it is not really audible. It was not that he fled far away, but because a large group of people fled with him, and the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps completely drowned out his voice.

The remaining general glanced back at Wu Sanguijun's back, then turned his head and saw that there were only a hundred people left around him. Hundreds of people looked at him, all confused, and he himself snorted coldly.

"Be careful!" He looked around: "Quickly pack up here, flags or something." Put them all away, and the ordnance that was thrown away, too! ”

Seeing that the sampan had been lowered on the steamship, and dozens of Huaxia soldiers were rocking their oars to seize the beach, he didn't think about how to organize the defense line, but wanted to collect things, and all the troops were surprised.

But he was a general. Naturally, the little soldiers only had to obey orders, and those who didn't listen also fled, but for a moment. There were only thirty or fifty people left around him.

"Idiots, all idiots." The general snorted coldly again. Then he led the rest of his subordinates: "Go, follow me!" ”

He first carried a musket, then headed towards the coast, seeing that the Huaxia army was less than 100 meters away, the other party also began to raise the gun to aim, he raised his hands and his knees weakened: "Kneel down!" ”

The soldiers behind him did the same, and they all knelt down.

"Surrender, surrender, we surrender......" that will scream loudly. Fang Cai's loyalty and courage are gone at this moment.

It was only a group of marines who came up, and they had finished their mission of transporting and covering the landing of Wang Haoran's troops, and after staying in Qinhuangdao for a few days, they were preparing to return home. I saw this group of people on the shore. Seeing that losing his armor and removing his armor was a defeat, he came to check it. When the commander of the Marine Corps who landed saw this group of Wu Sangui's subordinates begging for mercy loudly, he ordered them to throw down their weapons and followed: "Who are you and why are you here?" ”

"General Huiyu, we are Wu Sangui's subordinates......"

"Wu Sangui?" The Marine Company Commander repeated the name, it was just his personal habit. But listening to the ears of these Wu Sangui's subordinates, it became that he had never heard of Wu Sangui.

Among the old Ming officers and soldiers, this situation is extremely common, the soldiers do not know the name of their general, do not know the name of their enemy commander, anyway, when the time comes, they will charge or run away with their brothers. Therefore, Wu Sangui's general added: "Is it the Zhennan Marquis of Jianyu?" ”

The company commander really didn't know Wu Sangui's title of Marquis of Zhennan, so he pouted: "What is the Marquis of Zhennan?" ”

Wu Sangui's subordinates couldn't, so he could only say: "We are the subordinates of the big traitors......"

"Oh, it turned out to be a traitor." The company commander stared at them vigilantly: "What about those who fled just now?" ”

Wu Sangui's general Fang Cai was a little confused, and then he came to his senses and said loudly: "The villain wants to make meritorious service, the villain wants to report, the villain wants to lead the way, Fang is Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui fled over there!" ”

"Ahh When the company commander heard this, he immediately understood that he had lost a big fish, and said with a pause: "Someone, someone, go and report to the captain, just say that Wu Sangui has been found, and wait for his pursuit order!" ”

Wu Sangui fled from Beitang and did not dare to stay any longer, and kept fleeing in the direction of the Western Beijing Division. But when he arrived in Baodi, he saw that looking at the past, there were people everywhere - he and Jianyu went south to fight, and the total number of people who were requisitioned was close to one million, and now that they were in a big rout, the people were naturally unrestrained, and they all wanted to flee home as if they were running away.

At this time, Wu Sangui had only 1,000 horsemen around him, and he learned from the people that a part of the Huaxia Army had gone north along the canal and arrived at the Xianghe River first. However, the Jingshi has not yet been lost, and it is still in the hands of his subordinates.

"Tian Boguang and Gu Jiaming have limited troops, they have seized Xianghe and Tongzhou, and they do not have enough troops to occupy the Beijing Division, we have to enter the Beijing Division before them, only in this way can we escape......"

At this point, Wu Sangui can't take care of much, he takes a thousand horsemen, but it will attract pursuit, the only way is to pretend to be a people's husband, because from the mouth of the people's husband, the Huaxia army does not investigate these people's husbands in detail, they just arrest the rout.

Wu Sangui had made up his mind, and Wu Sangui didn't have time to think about it, so he asked the first general to take a large group of men and horses to the north, only saying that he wanted them to seize Shanhaiguan in order to keep the retreat of fleeing north. He only took more than ten people, changed the clothes of the people, rode the unsightly horses, and began to march towards the Beijing Division.

Sure enough, they were stopped by the Huaxia army in Baodi, and during the investigation, Wu Sangui lied that he was a man from Jingshi, and now he was going back to Beijing, but the Huaxia army did not stop him, but just stuffed a stack of paper to him: "After entering the Beijing Division, distribute this leaflet on the street for us, you just have to rest assured, if you are afraid, you can throw it outside the Beijing Division." ”

At this time, it was already evening, Wu Sangui took the leaflet, put it in his hand and looked at it, but it was written that there were some requirements, such as the people in the capital to guard the door, the army should not disturb the people, officials at all levels sealed the treasury, materials, especially mentioned that the capital is the ancient capital of several dynasties, all kinds of cultural relics should be properly protected, and those who can do it are meritorious service to China, and they can get rewards after the army enters the city.

After reading this leaflet, Wu Sangui could only smile bitterly, Yu Guozhen thought too carefully, and even this leaflet had been prepared in advance.

There was at least one advantage of having this leaflet, that is, the several Huaxia Army patrols that they encountered later did not embarrass them, and the kind-hearted Huaxia Army soldiers gave them some dry food.

Eating the dry food called "biscuits" distributed by the Huaxia Army and drinking water, Wu Sangui was silent and hurried away. When he arrived not far from Tongzhou, it was not yet dark, and he saw a large area of torches in front of him, and it seemed that more than a thousand people were marching.

"Who?" Before they could get closer, they heard someone in the distance shouting.

"Returning home, general!" One of Wu Sangui's cronies replied loudly, after a lot of such interrogations along the way, they were no longer nervous at this time.

"Stay away from the troops, don't interfere with the march, you still have horses, it's good."

Wu Sangui was riding a horse, although it was not a gallop, but it was slightly faster than a soldier on foot. There was envy in the tone of the Huaxia army, and Wu Sangui knew in his heart that if his subordinates or Jianqing, even if they were former Ming officers and soldiers, seeing such people with horses, they would definitely take the horses for themselves to ride, and the ruthless ones were afraid that they would kill people and seize money. But the Huaxia soldier just snorted enviously, and then ignored them.

In terms of military discipline, the Huaxia army threw off any army at this time for hundreds of miles. This is not only due to strict discipline, but more importantly, it belongs to the army's sense of honor and treatment. If the ruler regards the army as a lackey, then the army will naturally do something that only dogs do, on the contrary, if he can treat the army as his son, then his own children will of course sacrifice their lives to face the difficulties when they are in trouble.

They walked with the Huaxia army for a while, and suddenly heard an officer walking next to them say, "Are you tired?" ”

"Not tired!"

"Do you still have the strength?"

"Yes!"

"Can you sing?"

"Yes!"

"Then come the song "Hehe Huaxia Song", I will start, ready to sing!"

"The great Huaxia is in the East, the first ancestor of humanity is Yanhuang, the three emperors and five emperors are virtuous, and the Xia Shang expands the territory in two weeks.

The ancestral dragon is unified with the same literary track, and the Han Dynasty is fierce on all sides. The romance of the Wei and Jin dynasties is still there, and the spirit of the Tang Dynasty has not yet ended. Cangjie put down the pen and the ghost cried, and Cai Hou made the world moving. Confucius Meng, Lao Zhuang Mo Han Sun, a hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers and red ......"

The majestic "Magnificent Huaxia Song" was sung at once, first by the team to which the officer belonged, and then by the entire team of 1,000 people. Every soldier who sang this song held his head high, and the exhaustion of running for hundreds of miles seemed to not exist at all.

Wu Sangui once heard people mention this song, and even saw the words of this song in the newspaper, and felt that it was just a trick of the literati and had no meaning. But now, listening to the thousands of people around him singing in unison, a terrifying momentum echoed in the song, giving him goosebumps.

He couldn't help but be proud of it!

But when he heard the sentence "Hu Lu is difficult to have a hundred years of luck, and there is a heroic Han Daochang in the generations", he was shocked and ...... Didn't you just take refuge in Hulu?

Although he also wanted to vote for Yu Guozhen but couldn't, but before that, didn't he first take refuge in Jianyu, although he could defend himself by being forced by the situation, but he could hide it from the world, could he still hide it?

"Let's hurry." He said in a hoarse voice.

In the majestic singing, they went away in panic. Seeing that they were about to overtake this Huaxia army, the singing was paused, and an officer saw them catching up and asked curiously, "Where are you going?" ”

"General Qiyu, it's the Beijing Division, we were originally the ones who drove the big car in the Beijing Division, and we were dragged by the people, and now thanks to the blessings of the generals, we can finally go home."

"I see, no wonder I'm in such a hurry, I'm homesick." The officer smiled heartily: "Go back and tell your neighbors that our Huaxia Army is an army under Commander Yu, and it is a mighty and benevolent army, don't be afraid, in some time, everyone will have a better life!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Wu Sangui's cronies hurriedly answered. (To be continued)
