Chapter Twenty-Seven: Two Pursuits and Two Escapes

Bang Tuo didn't know who killed him until he died, and who dared to kill him except Peng Yue.

Indeed, if it weren't for the current critical juncture related to his family and surname, I'm afraid that even Peng Yue wouldn't dare to kill him. But compared to the ethereal wealth, how to keep the surname in front of you is the most important.

It was Shi Er who killed Bang Tuo, who was the first to persuade Peng Yue to rush out and return to the mainland to be a robber's guard.

There was a soft "bang", and Hama's head, still with confused eyes, fell to the ground and rolled twice.

"Who would dare to disobey the general's orders? Have you asked Shi about the sword in his hand? ”

Shi Er held the short sword that was still dripping blood, stared at the remaining two shogunate officials sent by Li Zuoche with murderous eyes, and shouted sharply.

These two shogunate officials were originally the people sent by Li Zuoche to cooperate with Hama Tuo, and Hama Tuo was beheaded by the sudden burst of Shi Eryi's sword, which had already frightened the courage of these two officials, and how could they dare to say half a word.

"Don't dare, don't dare! The villain obeys the general's orders! Obey the general's orders! The two officials looked at Shi Er, who was full of hideous faces, and nodded again and again like a chicken eating rice.

"Humph!" Shi Er glanced at the two officials with disdain, and walked towards one of the old shogunate officials with a short sword.

The old official saw Shi Er walking towards him with a short sword, thinking that he was going to kill himself, so he knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed and cried: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" ”

"What are you shouting? shouted again that grandpa really chopped you with a sword, and grandpa just borrowed your robe for use. Shi Er said and wiped the blood stains of Bang Tuo on the short sword on the old official, bowed to this Peng Yue and said, "The general gives the order!" ”

Shi Er's sudden outburst to kill Bang Tuo was a big surprise to Peng Yue, although Bang Tuo scolded Peng Yue, although Peng Yue was angry, but he was still a little guilty, and now Shi Er's sword can be said to be completely cut off Peng Yue's back road.

If Li Zuoche knew that he had killed the henchmen he sent to assist him, it would definitely be impossible to let him go. Peng Yue glanced at Shi Er faintly and said, "Shi Er, are you trying to force General Ben to a dead end?" ”

"The villain doesn't dare! General, now that we have an army of 50,000, we have taken refuge in Daqin or rushed out of this place, and we are rich and noble everywhere, why do we have to suffer this bird anger in the Zhao country, which will be destroyed? Shi Er said indignantly.

"Shut up! The matter of the surrender of Qin is now called Hugh. Today, as ministers of Zhao State, it is already disloyal to Xiangguo if we don't want to help each other; If it is at this time, it will be unrighteous to attack Zhao with Qin Zhu. Are you asking General Ben to bear this name of disloyalty and injustice? Peng Yue said angrily.

"The general is angry! If we don't surrender to Qin, why don't the generals lead us to rush out of this place and occupy a few cities to establish themselves as kings? Wouldn't you be happy? Shi Erdao. He keenly heard the hidden meaning from Peng Yue's words, and if he didn't mention it today, he said that he could naturally mention it again.

"Only now, do you think General Ben still has another way to go?" Peng Yue let out a long sigh.

Shi Er was overjoyed, "I'll follow the general to the death!" ”

The other thieves who defected to Li Zuoche with Peng Yue also hurriedly said in unison: "I will follow the general to the death!" ”

"Well, the order, the army will rush out to the east immediately, I can't wait to wade into this troubled water, go to Hengshan County." Peng Yue ordered decisively.

"Whoa!"

Bang Tuo died, until Peng Yue ordered the army to break through, which seemed to be a long time, but in fact it was just a short moment.

Most of the soldiers of Peng Yue's army did not know that Bang Tuo was dead, of course, even if they knew that no one would question Peng Yue's orders at this moment, not to mention that Peng Yue was always the chief general of this army, just in terms of loyalty, the longest time among these soldiers was only a month with Li Zuoche, and they should be able to have some loyalty at all.

What's more, this is the time when it is related to the life and death of one's own family.

Who still remembers that he is a soldier of Zhao State, and who still remembers who Li Zuoche is.

So after hearing Peng Yue's order, the 50,000 soldiers immediately rushed towards the east.

The lonely mountain sits north to south, and the east side is the foot soldiers of 10,000 cavalry dismounting, for Peng Yuejun, who did not follow the nearest 10,000 foot soldiers who were responsible for luring the enemy, but rushed towards their own side at a distance, all the cavalry, including the generals in charge of command, were stunned.

Are these rebels stupid? Don't you know that Daqin's strong crossbows are all the same sharp? More who will not die at the expense of the near?

They didn't know about the killing incident that had just happened in the rear of Peng Yue's army, so naturally they had no way of knowing that these chaotic troops were no longer Zhao Jun, but Peng Yue's private army.

In the short moment of the leading generals, Peng Yuejun, who was wearing a "bamboo raft and a big shield", had already rushed more than a dozen steps away.

"Ping! Shoot! The high-pitched roar of the captain in charge of commanding the 10,000 cavalry rang out.

"Buzz"

The entire air trembled, and more than 10,000 crossbow arrows rushed towards the tens of thousands of chaotic troops rushing over.

The continuous screams continued to be heard, and then they stopped abruptly, and those who fell to the ground were trampled to death. These huge shields could no longer be covered as effectively as before, and the casualties this time were far greater than those caused by the first 10,000 infantry fire.

But if you don't rush, you are doomed to death, coupled with the impact of the Battle of Changping, the word "descending Qin" was completely wiped out from the hearts of all the people of the Six Kingdoms, and there was at least a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Whew"

The sound of a long horn came, and the other 10,000 cavalry, who were originally in a hurry to come to the aid of this 10,000 cavalry, and the 10,000 cavalry blocking the road of Peng Yue's army, retreated one after another.

Only 10,000 foot soldiers had already loaded their crossbow arrows at this moment and struck at the right flank of Peng Yuejun's army. Before the people arrived, the old rule, the crossbow arrows must be fired first, and the sudden crossbow arrows suddenly disrupted the right flank of Peng Yuejun, who was only careless, and was immediately shot down.

Peng Yue didn't have the time to care about the left and right wings at this time, and when he saw that the Qin army had made way to the east, he shouted: "Sons, rush out, you will be rich and prosperous with you." ”

In fact, Peng Yue did this more than that, even if he didn't say this, wouldn't these rebels flee for their lives unhappily? But his words still made the originally somewhat chaotic rebel army find its direction, and they flocked to the east with the crowd.

Peng Yue didn't know why the Great Qin cavalry suddenly gave way for no reason, just as Bang Tuo said, out of this mountainous area, there will be a vast wilderness outside, and the Qin army is certainly not willing to let the elite cavalry fight these chaotic people here.

Taking the initiative to get out of the way is to let them run faster and get out of this mountain area quickly, and at that time the more than 30,000 cavalry of Great Qin will tell them what a real nightmare is.

Peng Yue knew, but he couldn't help it. More than 50,000 soldiers scattered and ran, and they could always escape with one or two thousand, if they stuck to the camp, let the Qin army's strong crossbow be like peeling skin, cut down layer by layer, and the last one didn't want to run.

By the time Peng Yue's army rushed through the distance of 100 paces, before they left the mountains, the 30,000 cavalry had already mounted their horses and were ready to fight.

"Qian Liang, what do you think this chaotic thief will think? Didn't this rush out into the wilderness to find death? Guarding in the camp, although it is also death, but it can live a little longer, right? Zhang Wu teased.

Qian Liang rolled his eyes when he heard his words, although Zhang Wu is a general, he is a captain, and he should be Zhang Wu's subordinate in terms of official position, but the two have been in Jiuyuan for many years, and they are already familiar with each other, so he naturally will not be polite to Zhang Wu.

"Your Excellency, General. If you live for a while, you will die in the end, and you should be able to live a few more when you come out to find death. Qian Liang said politely.

"You kid." Zhang Wu said with a smile, and then his expression was solemn, "Send an order, let 10,000 foot soldiers go to the aid of the general immediately, and I will arrive later." Staring at Peng Yuejun, who was fleeing in panic, Zhang Wu's eyes showed a glint of excitement.

Zhang Wu would never have thought that when he was chasing Peng Yue again, Li Zuoche was chasing and killing Meng Tian.

Li Zuoche did not choose to come to the rescue of Peng Yuejun in the end.

Despite this, Li Zuoche did not move as slowly as he thought before, crushing the morale of Meng Tian's army, but urged the three-way army to advance in unison and quickly squeeze towards Meng Tian's 40,000 army.

After all, he couldn't afford to ignore his subordinates, not to mention that Peng Yuejun still had his henchman Bang Tuo, he wanted to solve Meng Tian as soon as possible, so that he would have enough time to go back to rescue Peng Yue and Bang Tuo.

When Li Zuoche was five miles away from Meng Tian's army, he changed his formation, the Chinese army came out in the back, and the left and right armies came out in front, forming a huge concave arc, like a poisonous scorpion with two big pincers open, and slammed towards Meng Tian's army.

Meng Tian immediately ordered 30,000 foot soldiers to throw away all their baggage and retreat quickly, while 10,000 cavalry were far away on the right side.

The faster Meng Tian retreated, the faster Li Zuoche's three-way army, especially the left and right armies, would move forward. At this time, Li Zuoche couldn't stop at all, and once he stopped, he would definitely be bitten hard by Meng Tian.

With the passage of time, Li Zuoche's army gradually could not keep up with the rhythm of the 30,000 original foot soldiers, and the quality of the soldiers showed at this time. The left and right armies that came out of the front gradually fell behind, but instead the Chinese army, which was originally in the center and backward, was highlighted to the front.

The high morale of Li Zuoche's army, which was originally generated by the crushing of the large army, gradually disappeared in this chase and escape, and the speed of the left and right armies obviously stagnated, while Li Zuoche's Chinese army was even more prominent.

Meng Tian has been carefully observing Li Zuoche's formation, and ordered the army to slowly slow down the retreat, he had previously asked the army to drop many weapons and baggage, including large repeating crossbow machines, just to let Li Zuoche pick it up, once Li Zuoche divided his troops to get it, it would definitely disrupt his siege and give Meng Tian a chance.

But he didn't expect Li Zuoche to be unmoved at all, and kept ordering the three-way army to bite Meng Tian's retreating army. At this moment, Meng Tian was overjoyed when he saw that Li Zuoche's Chinese army had already advanced more than 500 steps away from the left and right armies.

This is the time!

"Knock knock!"

The rapid sound of drums suddenly sounded from Meng Tian's Chinese army.

With the sound of this drum, the 30,000 Jiuyuan army, which had been retreating rapidly, stopped retreating in an instant, and in an instant, the front army changed to the rear army, and the rear army became the front army, and in the blink of an eye, the formation changed, and it was ready to attack like a big arrow.

The drum fell, and a huge "Mengzi" tooth flag appeared in front of the 30,000 foot soldiers, and the tooth flag pointed to the fact that more than 30,000 Jiuyuan foot soldiers who had already held back the fire in their stomachs were immediately like arrows off the string, and they rushed straight to the pursuing Li Zuoche Zhongjun with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas.
