Chapter 572: Escape?

"General Right, is our army attacking the city now?" Sitting on Meng Zhao's left hand, with a white cloth wrapped around his arm, and wearing a bandage, Lieutenant Chen Chang asked in a low voice.

"How's your injury? Injured and still want to fight? Meng Zhao said with a smile.

"This little injury is not worth mentioning, and by taking Boping, we will be able to complete the rendezvous with the south in twenty days. Now because of the Xiaoguo Army, there are no reinforcements, but we still have to complete the task. This Boping is just stuck on our flank road, no way! "Thinking that because of the Xiaoguo Army, there were no reinforcements in the rear, and the burden was all on the right army, Chen Chang was fire.

"I'm afraid that the Xiaoguo army also knew our plan, although they didn't send troops, they didn't want the Wuwei army to lose too quickly, and they didn't want our army to grow. If the siege is not good, it will lead our army to lose too much, and it will be difficult to go south to Shanyang Mansion at that time. This wind is ringing, and there will really be problems! Meng Zhao frowned.

"Chen Chang, Xu Feng, the two of you immediately train those soldiers and the young men recruited by the Liangzhou Mansion, since there are no reinforcements, then we will expand the number of cannon fodder." Meng Zhao said coldly.

"Report ...... Report to the general, in Boping City, there are soldiers out of the city! The spies reported.

"Oh? How many people? Meng Zhao suddenly came to his senses, could it be that the defenders in the city wanted to fight with him?

"Scattered dozens of people in groups, scattered out, heading south."

"Huh? Not a big army out of town? Meng Zhao's brows furrowed slightly.

"No, it seems to be heading out of the city, fleeing from Bopin." The spy thought for a moment and replied.

"Are they reinforcements from Shanyang Mansion or the original government army from Boping City?" Meng Zhao suddenly came to his senses.

"The reinforcements of Shanyang Mansion should be under Ye Xuan's command."

"Is it really an escape? It shouldn't be, Ye Xuan dared to fight to the death with our army, how could his corporal flee lightly? Ye Xuan and Zhang Ting shouldn't have let them out of the city! Meng Zhao thought secretly.

"Very good, General! It shows that in the last war, the army of Shanyang Prefecture was already frightened and did not dare to fight against our army. Chen Chang laughed and said, accidentally pulling his arm, and the pain made him bared his teeth.

Meng Zhao shook his head and said, "Don't be careless, let our spies monitor Boping's every move." In addition, Xu Feng, let your subordinates start clearing out the deserters who left the city. Remember, you have to wait until you are out of sight of Boping Castle. ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

…………

"Report, General, the first fruit has all arrived!"

"Are there pursuers?" Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, but it has been dealt with by our army. They also thought that we were small groups of deserters, who would have thought that we had a connection with each other. Hmph, more versus less, prepared versus defenseless, and naturally solve it. Guo Chang said with a smile. Since the last failure, this time it has finally earned it back.

Qin Xiao, Wei Zhong, and Tang Military Captains, each led a thousand troops, and his task was to solve these inescapable routs. But at this moment, his face did not have the joy of the beginning.

Because when the enemy army broke and fled, they were scattered, and most of them were forty or fifty people together, walking in one direction. Therefore, after the two of them discussed, they also dispersed their men and soldiers to pursue the enemy. Of course, they also have a goal, which is to see if these deserters have actually escaped from the city.

The result was difficult for the two of them to accept, and most of the soldiers under his command who chased him out were gone forever. So far, 500 people have not replied, and they have disappeared within a few dozen miles of the surrounding area.

Qin Xiao and Wei Zhong looked at each other, and the solemn look on their faces was undoubted. This is already ten miles south of Boping City, and there are some deserted villages without human population except for the wilderness. However, in the area south of here, the soldiers under his command are gone.

"There's weirdness, it's not going to go on like this, they have to be brought together. In addition, according to our statistics, there are already three or four thousand deserters who have left the city. Qin Xiao said with a solemn face.

"Three or four thousand, how long has it been? Half a day's work! I'm afraid it's ...... It's not good......" Speaking of this, Wei Zhong's face was extremely ugly.

"They are not deserters, they have other plans! No, immediately let the soldiers under his command assemble, one song as a team, and slowly advance! We also need to report this information to the general. Qin Xiao said coldly.

"Report ...... The two adults, Huang Quchang, have already found traces of enemy troops, in the southwest of Laohe Village. The deserters had already gathered three or four hundred people, and they were firmly pursued by Huang Quchang's four teams of brothers. "A herald ordered the soldiers to gallop in.

Qin Xiao's expression was solemn, and he immediately ordered: "Order all the armies to assemble to Laohe Village immediately, I also want to see what tricks they are playing." "Let's ride on.

…………

"Qu Chang, let's do the chasing soldiers behind us and avenge the brothers!"

"There are only more than 300 people, you are tempted, if you don't leave all these 2,000 people, how can you be willing? General Lee has already made up his mind that we will fish and leave all the remaining 1,500 men behind. Qu Chang said hideously, the scar on his face that was drawn by Tang Jun looked particularly fierce.

"Pei Gouzi?"

"It's me, little monkey, you fuck, I'm all long, you're not too big or small! Say, what military order did the general let you convey! Looking at the young man who came out from behind the slope in front of him like a little monkey, Qu Chang said angrily.

"The general has an order, you have to stop there and attract the enemy army." The herald pointed to the foot of the mountain not far to the right and said in a deep voice.

"Huh? In this way, the general has already ......" Pei Gouzi's face was happy and he smiled.

The little monkey nodded and said, "Two thousand people have gathered around, and this battle is to leave the enemy behind." ”

"Great, start now, we're going to get revenge. Brothers, give me where to speed up. ”

On the west side of Xiaohe Village, Zhao Xun watched Pei Gouzi and the Tang Jun chasing after him on a slightly high hillside.

"General, why bother? Won't it be long to just kill them? We have 4,000 people, and the other side only has 1,500 people, so it's easy! Captain Guan Lin said puzzled. From his disdain to the young general's surprise at first, he admired the other party a little. Not to mention arranging non-commissioned officer training to improve morale, it is this action plan, and it is also step by step, and the contact information between each other also makes Guan Lin and the other two lieutenants impressed. It seems to be a simple marker, but it can display such a complex amount of information.

"It's easy to deal with them, but to make Tang Jun dare not touch Boping, that's what we need to consider. We came out, not just to take revenge, but also to protect Boping from loss, and the second thing is to defeat the enemy army. Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

In fact, Zhao Xun also sighed a little, if he had five thousand capable people in his hands, it would be enough to slowly consume the Tang army, but these people were obviously not that level. Boping is the foundation of their safe actions.

When Qin Xiao and Wei Zhong arrived, Qu Chang under his command was struggling to resist the attacks of the so-called deserters. Sure enough, these are not deserters, right here, there are 500 people in this Shanyang Mansion army, they are still well-dressed and well-trained, and they don't look panicked at all.

"Kill! Solve them! Qin Xiao sighed secretly, sure enough, there was a conspiracy, but he still raised his knife and killed him.

"Defense! Step back! Pei Gouzi saw that the enemy army was killing people and horses, and they were still arriving in a steady stream, his eyes were scarlet, but he still suppressed his killing intent and retreated to the rear. Because this is at the bottom of the mountain, there happens to be such a depression, and after entering, you only need to defend the front.

"Huang Ding, what's going on? Why are they together? Qin Xiao rushed over, and when he saw the retreat of the government army, he stood up and roared.

"Lord Captain, my subordinates are not very clear, our four pursuit deserters, who knew that after they fought back, they turned to converge together, and we chased after them, and they were like this." Huang Ding, who was sweating profusely, said bitterly, out of 500 people, nearly 300 people have fallen so far, and the enemy army has only lost more than 150 people. He was like he knew now who the fuck was the deserter.

"Don't say anything, kill them all! What about archers? Come here now! Qin Xiao shouted angrily.

"It's not right, our people are here, but what about the deserters? Where are they? Wei Zhong on the side said urgently.

"Are they going to abandon these four or five hundred so that they can escape?"

"No, since they use tricks to fight back, and they are fully clothed and armored, it is clear that they are not deserters, we are afraid that we have been tricked!" Wei Zhong's face turned pale and he said urgently.

"Report ...... On the left and right sides of Xiaohe Village, enemy troops are coming towards our army! Tanma panicked and reported.

"Damn! Hit the trick! Let's withdraw! Looking at the mountain in front of him, Qin Xiao exclaimed angrily.

As soon as the words fell, he turned his horse's head and rushed to the north, raising his long sword to the sky in his hand, and shouted sharply: "All the soldiers are in formation, to the north!" "This is the southwest corner of a small deserted village, surrounded by fields, but because of the war, it was deserted. But the terrain here is narrow, and there is a Jedi on one side, which makes Qin Xiao feel deeply uneasy.

More than 1,000 people, leaving aside the besieged Shanyang Mansion army, went directly to the north.

"To chase or not to chase?" In the col, a soldier said.

"Chasing? We only have 400 people, and the other side has 1,400 people, how can we chase? They want to escape to an open place, I'm afraid it's difficult, the general has already prepared again! ”

Qin Xiao and Wei Zhong ran more than 1,000 meters to the north, and before they could leave Xiaohe Village, they happened to rush to the place where the river in Xiaohe Village was, and they were blocked.

Qin Xiao led the army to stop, helpless, in front of it were more than 1,000 government soldiers, sword and shield soldiers in front, archers in the back, and put bows and arrows, pointing directly at themselves.

"If you're here, why go? Look at your feet, it is because of the war you have caused, that these great fields are barren, and it is because of you that this quiet and peaceful little village no longer exists. Zhao Xun rode forward and shouted loudly.

"Brothers, look here, look at this barren fields and abandoned villages, look at the intruders before you, will you give in?"

"Can't! No! More than 1,000 soldiers were excited by Zhao Xun's passionate words, and their blood boiled.

"Who is this man? They are using us to boost morale! Wei Zhong said with a gloomy face.

"I don't know, there is such a person under Ye Xuan's command? Haven't seen it. But now, what we need is not to discuss who he is, but to address them. With more than 1,000 defeated generals, you also want to stop me? Kill me, brethren! Kill all these defeated men! ”

Qin Xiao's voice fell, and from his side and from the village behind him, a deep horn suddenly sounded, and then there was a loud bang, and more than a thousand people on the right and behind him killed them, besieging them. Now, in addition to fleeing into the river, there is no choice but to fight to the death.

"Besieged! This Yanzhou government army is really not a deserter, but premeditated! Wei Zhong's face was extremely ugly, because his subordinates were already in some turmoil.

"Brothers, the enemy is at hand, if you want revenge, give it to me! Let them see, my Shanyang Mansion Army is not a soft egg! Kill me! Zhao Xun waved the long sword in his hand fiercely and shouted.

"Killing ......" the three-sided government army came out together, like wolves and tigers, and rushed towards the Tang army in the middle.

The Tang army is the Tang army, although they intercepted and killed on three sides, but after they were only a little panicked, they immediately met and fought with the government army.

At this moment, the soldiers on both sides who were fighting together did not have any formation, they just caught and killed! The non-commissioned officer of the government was also even more fierce because of the anger aroused in his heart, and he didn't care about the long knife cut by the opponent at all, just so that he could overturn the opponent.

Looking at the two sides of the fight, Zhao Xun, who was riding on a horse, stood far behind. Originally, he could not have fought so directly, 3,500 people against more than 1,000 people, no matter how he played, he could also drag down the other party. But he didn't. He hoped to use this battle to arouse the courage of the soldiers to dare to fight the Tang army. Of course, it is also to make the soldiers better accept themselves.

"Bow!" Zhao Xun said coldly.

The guards behind him handed over the giant bow specially customized in Yanzhou City, although it was not as good as the silver Jiao bow, but it was quite good.

"Kill!" The commander of the Tang Army slashed the long knife in the hand of the sergeant of Yifu, shouted loudly, and slashed towards the other party.

"Defeated! Want to fight me too? ”

Just then, before the commander could finish speaking, he heard a piercing sound, and a powerful arrow broke through the barrier of the air, shot him in the chest, and even took the person up, flying down from Mi Xu.

"Sigh ......" The arrows in Zhao Xun's hands flew sideways, and every arrow saved a government sergeant, for the government sergeant, this is a life-saving arrow. But for the Tang soldiers, this is the arrow of urgency.

"The general is so arrowy!" Zhao Xun's side also did not fight, because the previously injured captain Li Guochang praised.

Zhao Xun saw that the victory had moved closer to him, so he immediately threw the big bow in his hand to the guards, took the spear and rode his horse to rush. Kill more than ten soldiers in a row, and kill directly in front of the opponent's general.

"Who are you?" Qin Xiao asked in a deep voice.

"Dead people, you don't need to know!" Zhao Xun snorted coldly, and the spear in his hand burst out, instantly stabbing down the guards beside Qin Xiao.

"Boy, you're so arrogant! Take me a knife! Qin Xiao was shocked in his heart, but he didn't stop in his hand.

"Die!" Zhao Xun's spear shot like a silver jiao, directly hitting the opponent's blade.

"Boom......" The spark flashed, and Qin Xiao felt that his right hand was numb and unconscious. But then, he heard a palpitating sound of bones shattering, and he felt like a pound on his shoulder.

Before Qin Xiao could react, a flower in front of him seemed to fly into the sky, and then he fell to the ground fiercely, turning his face pale.

"Grab it!" After picking off Qin Xiao with one shot, Zhao Xun rushed straight at another officer.
