Just as Li Jing was still dealing with the matter of settling the people of Shenchi County, Li Fugui suddenly came in and said, "Lord, there is dust rising fifty miles to the west, obviously there is a large army marching, scouts report, I saw the army advancing from a distance, and wanted to approach, but was dispersed by the official cavalry, no less than 2,000 people, the situation is urgent, please make it public." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What?" Li Jing didn't dare to slack off, and then got up, only to see Li Fugui's face restless and flustered, obviously frightened by this news, "Hurry up and order the personal guards, select twenty elite cavalry, be sure to approach the official army brigade, and find out the details of the official army." ”

After that, he added, "If the cavalry of the official army brigade chases, you must protect yourself, okay, don't say more, hurry up." ”

After Li Jing finished speaking, he leaned over to look at the rough map of Shanxi made by his own family, Ning Wu in the northeast of Shenchi told himself to easily seize it, but there are still partial passes in the northwest, and it is also one of the three inner passes of the Great Wall.

Li Jing has not fought with the elite officers and soldiers in a clear way since he raised his troops, and his own troops have not established a psychological advantage over the officers and soldiers, and suddenly heard the news of the attack of the officers and troops, panic is inevitable, but in the bottom of his own heart, after all, he is still a little afraid of the regular army of the imperial court.

"What should I do?" Li Jing walked back and forth, almost wanting to drive his house crazy, with a fear suppressed in his heart, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Waiting until he felt a little more at ease, he sat down in his place and shouted outside, "Go and ask General Tan to come over." ”

As soon as Tan Wu came in, Li Jing didn't care about beckoning him to sit down, and spoke directly, "Tan Wu, can the people under his command go into battle now?" ”

Saying that, looking at Tan Wu with some expectations, there was really no way but to rush to the doctor, who knew that Tan Wu didn't think about it, and said directly, "I'm afraid not, this group of people is messy, and they can't even stand in a queue, they have to work hard for dozens of days to stand in a military posture, and they can't go into battle without a month's work, if they can win the war, I'm afraid it will take several years of hard work." ”

"Could it be that I have to learn the tactics of the rogue to defeat?" When Li Jing heard this, the last strength of support in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he sat down on the chair, thinking about it, I am afraid that the only way to learn from the rogues to drive out the homeless people is to consume the endurance of the officers and soldiers first, that is, to send them to death, and wait for death to be almost.

If your own team goes up again, the officers and soldiers will be tired of cutting people, the knife edge will be rolled, and the bow and crossbow will not be good, and there will be a few chances of winning in the decisive battle.

But what is the difference between doing this on your own and being a rogue? The hearts of the people and the army that have finally gathered are afraid that they will be lost in one day, and in the future, no one will believe in their own family, unless they kill all the peasants who have been driven away, and leave no one behind, and then deliberately kill all the people under their command who are not a heart, but what is the point?

"No matter, gather the people first, let all the people prepare below, notify them, get ready to pack, and prepare to retreat!" Li Jing can't care about so much at the moment, he has 500 guards in his hands, and 80 artillery pieces, and he is not the opponent of the official army at all, where can he dare to stay for a long time, he made up his mind in his heart, retreated first, and waited until Ningwu and the other two battalions converged, and then it was not too late to make plans.

Just waiting for this order to continue, another scout desperately reconnoitred and reported, "Report, lord, there are more than 500 cavalry in the front of the official army, and thousands of infantry troops in the rear, and the team is stretched out four or five miles, with tiger flags and high flags on them." ”

"Tiger Banner?!" Li Jing was shocked in his heart, although he didn't know much about this history at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but there was a Ming generation, there were few people with the surname of the tiger, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the famous Tiger Dawei, at this time he was a general in Shanxi, and the orthodox soldiers fought in Jinnan under the command of Zhang Zongheng, how did he get here?

As for the high-character flag, Li Jing couldn't guess it, but just one tiger Dawei, with thousands of elite soldiers under his command, is not something he can deal with at all, as soon as he thought of the defeat of the fighting troops, Li Jing shuddered, and hurriedly ordered left and right, "Hurry up and pack your bags, prepare to retreat, be quick!" ”

Li Jing didn't dare to delay for a moment, since the official army was fierce, and he didn't dare to engage in the battle, so he ran away, so while packing up, he sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the official army, and when the official army approached the county seat fifteen miles, Li Jing's four or five thousand people went directly out of the east gate with the people in the city.

On the way to escape, Tan Wu was quite worried when he saw the speed of his team, and immediately came up and said directly, "Lord, I have a lot of goods and goods, and I have four or five hundred carts, and I am unable to move, how can I walk quickly?" If the official cavalry catches up, I'm afraid it will be called a collapse at that time. ”

"It's nothing, what you want is to collapse, you and secretly send the order down, recruit more young and strong people to go ahead of me, only the old and weak will be left in the back team, if the officers and soldiers catch up, just abandon the rear team, and move forward with one heart, so that the officers and soldiers will soon chase, greedy for money, and then we will get out safely, just wait for the convergence of the army, and then discuss."

Who knows that Li Jing didn't take these belongings to heart at all, the current situation is nothing more than a quick escape, just a few belongings, just need to gather the army and defeat this Ming army, the neighboring states and counties, there will be no longer resistance to their own official army, how much silver will not be available at that time? !

Tan Wu thought for a while and felt that it was feasible, anyway, it was not his own family that died, so he hurriedly responded, "Yes!" ”

Waiting for him to go down to select people and horses, Li Jing turned his head and left again, but there was still a piece of thought in his heart that did not come out, according to the thoughts of the officials and soldiers, he would definitely kill the good and take the merits, and those who stayed in the city and retreated with their own families would always be killed and robbed a group, do you hate it? I definitely hate the officers and soldiers.

They went to their own homes, distributed land and grain, and did all the good deeds, but these peasants were bent on treating them well, and they may not remember, but when the officials and soldiers arrived, they did all kinds of evil, and when the time came, they cried.

Thinking like this, he had no burden, and only beckoned the guards on horseback to go quickly, leaving the team behind him from a distance, and listening to the report of the scout team behind him, the officers and troops entered the county seat, and a vanguard was catching up with their own team.

"How many centaurs?!" Li Jing stopped and thought about it, if there were few officials and soldiers, it would be good to take the opportunity to eat him.

The scout hurriedly said, "There are three hundred men and horses, all of them with armor. ”

"Hmm." Li Jing lowered his head and thought for a moment, three hundred cavalry, strong mobility, and it was not cost-effective to fight hard, but it was not so easy to scare himself back, "Order, leave two carts of property behind the team, fall on the avenue, seduce the officers and soldiers to rob, and slow down their speed!" ”
