Chapter 139: Snatching

After annihilating the Qing army of Qianjutang, the Taiping army marched to the Daxiong Palace, and saw the reinforcements appear at the door of the main hall, and the defenders in the hall were really relieved, they no longer had any strength to cheer, so they could only sit on the ground and look at the reinforcements excitedly.

After Song Xianggong and Zhao Sihai, who was supported by Zhao Hu, walked out of the main hall, Song Xianggong could not hide his joy, and he was more of a sigh of escaping death, he tightly grasped the hand of Shao Jiugong, a hundred households in the majestic battalion who led the troops, and couldn't say a word in choked up. Zhao Sihai's injury made him so painful that he couldn't speak, he only pointed to the direction of the back mountain with an anxious face, Shao Jiugong didn't know what he wanted to say, and Zhao Hu on the side hurriedly said that there was a group of Qing troops fleeing to the back mountain.

As soon as he heard that the Qing army fled to the back mountain, Shao Jiugong hurriedly left a team of soldiers led by Zhao Hu to rescue the wounded in the palace, he personally led the rest of the soldiers to chase after the back mountain, and sent people to pass the situation to thousands of households and Zhou Shi, and also to trap the camp and transfer troops to the back mountain to pursue, be sure not to let a clear dog slip through the net.

The Qing army that fled to the back mountain is already a frightened bird, in addition to the Han army inlaid with the blue flag to lead Su Xianting under more than 100 banner soldiers, there is the same number of green battalion soldiers, because the two thousand old and weak women and children of the Taiping army in the back mountain were slaughtered by the Qing army, so the ground is full of corpses, resulting in the Qing army's escape road is quite inconvenient, and when they reach the cliff above the trail in the back mountain, the Han army flag and the green battalion soldiers kill each other because of who goes down the mountain first.

At the moment of life and death, the green battalion soldiers, who were usually oppressed by the flag soldiers and did not dare to complain, also did not care about anything, and let the flag soldiers go down the mountain first, they would die. Most of the officers ran to the front mountain with the general soldier Wu Jinzhong, there was not even a sentry commander in the battalion, there was no officer restraint, and it was a matter of life and death, and they were naturally unwilling to let the bastards of the Han Army Banner flee first.

Su Xianting couldn't suppress this group of green battalion soldiers who wanted to live, so he could only order the flag soldiers to block those battalion soldiers while shouting. On the one hand, he led a few personal soldiers down the trail first.

When the Qing army was killing each other in order to seize the road, Shao Jiugong had already led his troops to rush over. The corpses of old and weak women and children everywhere along the way made the whole Xiongwei camp grief and indignation, and when they saw that the Qing army was crowding on the top of the back hill and slashing each other. Without Shao Jiugong's order, the Xiongwei Battalion was killed with red eyes.

"The thieves are coming. The thieves are coming! ”

After discovering that the Taiping army was chasing after them, the Qing army, which was killing each other, suddenly stopped, but instead of fighting the enemy together, they rushed to the trail one by one. People were crowded, and more than a dozen unlucky Qing soldiers were immediately pushed off the cliff by their companions.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Qing army, Shao Jiugong quickly led his troops to press over, either with a knife or with a spear. constantly drove the Qing army to the cliffs. From time to time, the Qing country fell at the hands of the soldiers of the vengeful majestic battalion, and from time to time the Qing soldiers jumped off the mountain in despair.

The trail that only allowed one person to go up and down at a time was now crowded with people, and Su Xianting, who went down first, didn't dare to go back, stumbling down the mountain, constantly being scraped by rocks and branches on both sides of the road, and there was blood everywhere on his face, body, and head. But Su Zuoling, who was in a hurry to flee for his life, couldn't care about these flesh injuries, and just wanted to go down the mountain as quickly as possible, and get as far away from these thieves as possible.

It's not easy to walk up the mountain, it's not easy to walk down the mountain, and the slope of the mountain is too steep. An unintentional person just rolled down, and when you looked down from above, there were rolling figures everywhere.

Most of the Qing troops on the top of the mountain were annihilated. The remaining thirty or forty flag soldiers and battalion soldiers saw that there was no hope of escape, so they had to throw down their weapons and surrender on their knees.

Shao Jiugong asked the captives to be escorted to the Daxiong Palace, and at the same time led people down the trail to chase after them. This path is too narrow, and the slope is large, and the people above only need to be careful with their feet, and they can wantonly harvest the heads of the people in front of them with their swords.

After discovering that the enemy soldiers on the mountain were chasing down the trail, Su Xianting's personal soldier Zhao Quanhu was anxious and took a few companions to block a wide boulder on the side of a mountainside. While blocking the people above to prevent them from going down again, he shouted at Su Xianting: "Lord Zuoling." The lowly leads the people to stay here, you hurry down the mountain! ”

"Zhao Quan. Good minion! If you die, Benzo will adopt your wife and children! ”

Su Xianting excitedly dropped a sentence and hurriedly ran down the mountain road, not looking at Zhao Quan's group of personal soldiers and the flag soldiers who were blocked by them from beginning to end.

"Zhao Quan, dog, get out of the way, are you kid going to pull us all into the water!"

The road ahead was suddenly blocked, and a group of flag soldiers who were about to come down were suddenly anxious, and a flag soldier at the front went to cut Zhao Quan without saying a word, but Zhao Quan and several people occupied the only favorable terrain on this trail, and he was not an opponent at all, and he was cut to the ground with a scream. As soon as he died, the corpse immediately became an obstacle for the people behind him, and the people behind him were so anxious that they scolded again and again.

The people in the back don't know what's going on in front, they only know that the people in front suddenly don't leave, they don't go, but the thief in the back is close, if you don't go again, isn't the back of the master ironclad to be cut down!

"Mom, it's all forced. Raise it, hurry up and fuck off! ”

In the midst of the swear words and swearing, someone moved a knife and slashed at his companion in front of him, and suddenly, a tragedy of cannibalism was staged on the path.

The Taiping army who came down the slope saw that the flag soldiers in front of them were cut up by their own people, and they were so happy that they followed forward to cut it, so that the flag soldiers in front were even more anxious to scold their mother, and they didn't care about scruples anymore.

Almost nothing to do with the Xiongwei battalion, most of the flag soldiers on the trail died, and the remaining more than a dozen clever points threw down their weapons early and lay on the ground, allowing the people behind to step on themselves down the mountain, anyway, they didn't run.

A few refused to surrender, and they couldn't rush through the gap guarded by Zhao Quan, so they had to turn over and jump down to the sides in hatred, and there were screams one after another.

In the face of the favorable terrain occupied by Zhao Quan and several other flag soldiers, the Taiping army that chased down did not take their lives to fill in, but handed down a sky-shaking thunder from above, and the soldier in front lit it and threw it over, "boom", black smoke dispersed, three flag soldiers were killed on the spot, and the remaining two were stunned, and the other was Zhao Quan was seriously injured, crying that he could no longer stop the Taiping army.

Solving these watchdog-like flag soldiers, the majestic battalion hurriedly rushed down the mountain along the gap, but unfortunately it was a step too late, Su Xianting had already led more than a dozen other flag soldiers who escaped down the mountain and ran away without a trace. Shao Jiugong learned that Qi Bingzuo had led the way, so he had to collect his troops and lead people to clean up the remnants of the Qing army that had not had time to escape one by one in all the buildings of Yutai Temple.
