Chapter 302: Desperate Pursuit
Li Qin saw that the other party was in a mess, and hurriedly said: "Drum horn, rush over!" ”
The herald blew the horn, and the soldiers of the Fujiao Army immediately rushed over, and they didn't care about the corpses in the middle camp, but even if they rushed slowly, they didn't have to worry that the coalition army would shoot them with arrows, the coalition army had collapsed at this time, and they couldn't organize a powerful counterattack!
The Fujiao soldiers rushed over, broke through the camp, and directly faced the coalition army, and the coalition soldiers were immediately in chaos, and the veterans, those who had combat experience, saw that things were not good, and immediately turned around and fled, whether it was climbing or drilling into the forest, in short, they did not run to the main road; The recruits in the front of the battle surrendered in large areas, and the recruits in the rear of the battle fled first, and the recruits who fled first thought they were safe, in order to escape faster, of course they would not drill into the woods, let alone climb the hills, they just ran down the avenue and kept running wildly!
Now you can see the gap between the veteran and the new soldier, although the veteran escapes slower and harder, but the horn soldiers are all on horseback, and they will naturally not climb high on horseback, and it is also difficult to drill the forest, and the coalition army full of avenues, they don't need to drill the forest to arrest people, so the veterans escape a lot. But the recruits are different, they can escape very quickly, but can they be faster than the war horses? Escape on the avenue, there is no escape!
The Fujiao army pursued all the way, killing countless deserters, and as more and more coalition soldiers surrendered, Li Qin had no choice but to order people to return to the Tiger Prison Pass, and let Jia Xu take people out of the pass to count the prisoners, and he personally led the troops to pursue!
Li Qin rushed forward on horseback and chased him for more than ten miles, and he was going to be about the same, but whenever he wanted to stop and collect his troops back to the pass, there were scouts in front of him who came back to report, saying that another big camp had been found in front of him, not far from here, should he kick it?
Li Qin looked forward, and sure enough, there was a big battalion as far as his eyes could see, and he thought to himself every time: "Okay, then kick this big battalion, and then withdraw the troops!" ”
However, after he kicked one, there will be another one, the big battalions are really one after another, no matter how you kick it, Li Qin led the army to kick more than a dozen big camps, but he hasn't finished kicking yet, he has already run out of dozens of miles, just pursuing, how can he chase it so far!
Under the discussion of Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, the coalition army camped in the form of a company camp, and every three miles was a big camp, and the princes all had small abacus, and they refused to be only three miles apart, but five or six miles apart, anyway, they could respond to each other remotely! In this way, the company camp stretched for an extremely long time, dozens of miles, so that Li Qin kicked one and another one, and he couldn't stop if he wanted to!
Li Qin has no choice, the coalition army has been defeated, if the results of the battle are not maximized now, then the princes will definitely flee and flee in all directions, it will definitely become the situation in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, and I don't know what the chaos will become! Therefore, even if you are tired now, you have to solve the problem once and for all, and you can't lose a big one because of a small thing!
Li Qin led the army all the way forward, while the Fujiao scouts behind him reported the results to him wave after wave like a flowing price. The princes of the Eighteenth Road were killed, captured, and now they are almost all together, even Sun Jian's body has been found, Yuan Shu's body has also been confirmed, and even the body of Gongsun Chan who was taken away by Bai Ma Yi has also been found, Bai Ma Yi has not escaped in the end, and was caught up by the scout troops of the Fujiao Army.
But after the inventory, there were only the seventeen princes, and the dead and alive did not reach the eighteenth road, but in the end, the princes of that road were nowhere to be found, and it is estimated that the princes of that road ran the fastest, or they did not fight with Yuan Shao at all!
After listening to the report, Li Qin thought to himself: "I have heard the names of the princes of the first seventeen roads, and it should be considered to be certain, so this last princes ...... It can't be Lu Bu, right? When the coalition army first started from Yuancheng, among the eighteen princes it found, there was Lu Bu, but this guy was not arrested, so the last prince could only be him! ”
Thinking of the first general in the Three Kingdoms period, the most brave Lu and Zhao Sandian Wei, now he has become the fastest fleeing prince, it is really incredible, could it be that Lu Bu was scared and ran away when he saw the Fujiao army?
Li Qin urged the army, continued to break forward, and broke through a barracks, at this time there were scouts in front of the report, saying that there was another big camp, in terms of numbers, it should be the last big camp, but this big camp and other big camps are far away, it is ten miles away from the big camp that has just been kicked, it seems that the prince who led the army is a coward, afraid that the Fujiao army is afraid of death, otherwise why this kind of camping method, this is obviously not united!
Li Qin looked at the horn-raising soldiers around him and shouted, "Brothers, are you tired, do you want to rest?" ”
At this time, the horn soldiers ran for dozens of miles, fought one battle after another, the number of battles was more, but they were not very fierce, the coalition soldiers would see them coming, either flee, or surrender on the spot, there was very little resistance, the horn soldiers rushed all the way to kill too easily, everyone felt not very enjoyable! Hearing Li Qin ask them if they were tired, the soldiers and generals shouted together, and they all said that they were not tired, and they must kick this last big camp flat!
Li Qin laughed out loud and said, "Brothers, you still don't know who the princes of this last big camp are, it's that Lu Bulu Dan'er, the guy who was chased by us and jumped off the cliff, but he didn't die, he has no other skills, but his ability to escape is extremely great, it is simply to the point of being incomparably great!" Do you want to take a look at this Lu Dan'er and appreciate why he is called Dan'er? ”
The generals all laughed and shouted together: "You have to see it, you have to see it, it's such a big egg, of course you have to see it!" ”
Li Qin waved his horsewhip and shouted: "Then let's go, burn his camp, set up a cauldron, grab Lu Dan'er, and boil this big egg to eat!" ”
The generals responded in unison and rushed towards Lu Bu's camp together!
At this time, Lu Bu had already fled back to his camp, a long time earlier than the Fujiao army, when the coalition army and the Fujiao army confronted, he began to retreat, and when the coalition army began to collapse, he was the first to collapse, and he ran away, and fled back to the camp with his army.
When he returned to the camp, Lu Bu counted the number of people, good guy, a miracle appeared, dozens of miles of road ran down, according to common sense, half of the soldiers and generals who followed him were already very good, but when he checked the number of people, not only did he not lose people, but there were a lot more, his total strength was roughly estimated, there were as many as 6,000 people, and many soldiers and generals of other princes actually fled with him all the way, and also ran to his camp!
Lu Bu was happy in his heart, look at the battle fought, it was almost a flower, others suffered defeats, and the soldiers fought less and less, but they didn't fight, they ran away directly, and the more deserters, the more powerful they became, it seems that God protects himself very much!
Lu Bucai didn't care if he couldn't defeat the battle, he didn't have anything, he was a single person, and he couldn't even eat and drink, but now that he had more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, he was not in a hurry to be happy, how could he be sad? Anyway, he didn't have anything in the first place, it's a big deal or nothing, what's the big deal, so he doesn't take it to heart!
Lu Bu entered the camp and immediately ordered the soldiers to pack up their things, only bring dry food and weapons, it is best for everyone to get horses, and the rest are not wanted, what tents and cauldrons are not wanted, the soldiers fled lightly and returned to Yuancheng directly!
Lu Bu thought about it, he went to Yuancheng to control the prince and the queen mother, if the coalition army won, he said that he was afraid that the prince would lose, so he came back in advance to protect, even if the coalition army won a disastrous victory, even if he knew that he had escaped and lied, but he couldn't do anything to him; If Li Qin wins, he holds the crown prince, then this is a bargaining chip for negotiation, and he can talk to Li Qin about the conditions, maybe he can get a bigger official, the worst Li Qin does not agree, he can also escape outside the border, and then become the king of the mountain, and do his old job, eat fragrant and drink spicy, and still live happily!
Because he escaped the fastest, he naturally got out of danger the fastest, and Lu Bu's camp was still the last, which gave him time to prepare for a long-distance escape, and when he fled, Li Qin's army was still far away! Lu Bu set a fire, burned his own camp, and ran in the direction of Yuancheng with his soldiers and generals!
Li Qin led the army, and before he could rush to Lu Bu's camp, he saw the fire in front of him, and the smoke was billowing out, and the camp was already burning hot, and he could smell the choking smoke from a distance!
Li Qin slowed down his horse and frowned, he beckoned a scout and asked, "Did Lu Bu escape, not in the camp?" Have you searched in which way he fled? ”
The scout said: "Back to the prince's words, Lu Bu fled in the direction of Yuancheng, but he can't escape, Yuancheng is far away, as long as we keep chasing, we will definitely be able to catch up, most of Lu Bu's people are infantry, how can they outrun our cavalry!" ”
Li Qin hummed, this makes sense! He immediately ordered the soldiers to rest, if the energy is too strong and there is nowhere to go, then go and capture the prisoners, the princes of the Eighteenth Route only have Lu Bu all the way, I believe he will not be able to jump to the sky!
The order to rest was passed on, but there were not many horn guards to rest, only a few breaths, and the generals went to capture the prisoners in all directions!
has been busy until the evening, Li Qin still did not return to the Tiger Prison Pass, he plans to rest and recuperate, and has to catch up again, even if Lu Bu does not flee in the direction of Yuancheng, he has to go to a trip, Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Wei are still in Yuancheng, they have to be caught, only when these two people are caught, this war can be regarded as the real end, and he can spare his energy to deal with Zhang Rang in Luoyang.
After dark, Jia Xu came, and when he saw Li Qin sitting in the field, he knew that Li Qin was going to continue the pursuit. Jia Xu came over and said to Li Qin: "Ah Qin, the matter of capturing prisoners is easy to handle, but the place is too big, and there are too many deserters, so it takes at least three or five days of hard work to barely finish, what do you think should be done with the prisoners?" Is it to kill a batch? ”
Li Qin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I think most of the captives are recruits, let them go home, and if they have no home to return to, they will divide some fields, and take root in this place!" As for the veterans, of course, they can't be killed, prepare a batch of like a little bit, bring them back to Luoyang, and go to Beijing to boast about their achievements! ”
