Chapter 523: Temporary Escape

The Dingzhou Army Guard Battalion and Chen Zeyue who broke out of the siege were already miserable, the whole army was left with less than 3,000 people at this time, and there were only about 2,000 soldiers with combat ability left, a large number of wounded soldiers were tied to horses, and Huo Zhensheng, the military medical officer, had long run out of medicine to treat the injured soldiers, so he could only do some simple bleeding and bandaging, looking at the wounded soldiers who couldn't stop wailing because of the pain, Huo Zhensheng hid in a corner and secretly wept, but he was helpless.

Among these wounded soldiers, the most anxious and worried about Huo Zhensheng was Chen Zeyue, Chen Zeyue was injured in several places when he broke out of the encirclement in the previous time, but the most serious thing was that he was stabbed in one leg, and the huge wound was deep to the bone, due to the lack of medicine, the injury gradually deteriorated, fortunately, this was in the cold winter, if the weather was hot, Chen Zeyue would not have survived today.

The armor on Tang Hu's body was also scarred, and his head was grazed by a cold arrow, if the arrow was a little lower, it would directly kill him, Tang Hu with his head rubbed his hands and feet and stood beside Chen Zeyue, who was sometimes unconscious and sometimes sober, helpless, among the three senior generals, only the iron leopard was the luckiest, and he broke out of the encirclement several times, but he didn't even scratch a little oilskin, which made Tang Hu jealous to death.

Thousands of remnants slowly advance on the snow, as long as they can still walk around are dismounted, leading the war horse forward, the pursuers behind them are still dozens of miles away, Dingzhou is extremely tired, and the pursuers are not better there, this weather, it is impossible to catch up with this army today, due to the lack of supplies, no food and grass, people can still hold on, but the war horses can not get better food after repeated battles, these war horses that have been spoiled by the Dingzhou logistics system have lost fat very much, and now the sprint strength and endurance have dropped very quickly, In order to preserve the physical strength of the horses, the soldiers tried to use the horses as little as possible.

Two horsemen with superb horsemanship walked side by side, between the two, a soft net was tied with a rope, Chen Zeyue was lying on it, covered with a dirty quilt, Tang Hu rode his horse nervously to one side, from time to time to pay attention to the other party, as long as Chen Zeyue came to his senses, Tang Hu kept talking to him, for fear that the other party would not be able to stand it, so he went.

"Huzi, where are we?" Chen Zeyue opened his eyes slowly, at this time he no longer felt pain, the whole person was numb, but he felt weak and couldn't lift up a little energy.

"Lao Chen, you wake up, great, we are now heading towards Baimadu, not far away, I have sent a sentry to report the news, it should be today, Baimadu's reinforcements will arrive, as long as we get on Baimadu, we can get effective replenishment and recuperation!" When you get there, there will be medicine for you! Tang Hu grinned.

Chen Zeyue pondered for a moment, "Huzi, over there in Baimadu, you must be careful, and you must confirm that the other party has no malicious intent before you can relax your guard." ”

Tang Hu opened his mouth wide, "What's the matter, it's our people there!" ”

Chen Zeyue sighed, "Yes, it is indeed our people there, but Huzi, it's not that I'm suspicious, but people don't hurt the tiger, the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, Liu Yuan, the general of the White Horse Battalion, is not our old man in Dingzhou, but a temporary service on the battlefield, their loyalty is not very reliable, and now we are in trouble, we are still playing the banner of the marshal, and outsiders are still in our army, so there may be people with bad intentions." ”

"Do you suspect that Liu Yuan will be in the battle against the water?" Tang Hu understood what the other party meant.

"I'm just suspicious, not necessarily right, it's best if I'm wrong, Huzi, in Baimadu, we have a thousand Dingzhou veterans, I am sometimes unconscious, sometimes sober, you must remember, if it is this thousand Dingzhou troops who come to greet us in advance, then Liu Yuan has no problem, if not, you must immediately prepare for battle. Oh, by the way, the leader of the 1,000 Dingzhou Army is called Jin Chao, I have an image, and I am a very good student who went out of Ji Mingze! ”

Tang Hu nodded heavily, "Okay, I will definitely remember, if it is this thousand veterans who come first, then everything will be fine, if not, we will cut him directly!" ”

Chen Zeyue nodded with satisfaction, and was about to tell Tang Hu a few more words, when the war horse carrying him suddenly stumbled, his body was crooked, Chen Zeyue's body was thrown up, and a sharp pain immediately came from his body, and he couldn't help but snort and fainted again.

"What the fuck are you going to do?" Tang Hu was startled, and while scolding the soldier, he called Huo Zhensheng in a straight voice. When it was in a hurry, not far ahead, several outpost soldiers rushed over, and with them came back, as well as the personal guard who sent out by Tang Hu a few days ago.

"General Tang, reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming!" Far away, the sentry was already waving his arms and shouting loudly, and thousands of soldiers suddenly heard a burst of cheers.

Tang Hu rode forward and asked loudly, "Who is leading the team?" How many people are there? ”

The sentinel said loudly: "General Tang, there are about 1,000 people who came first, and the team is led by our Dingzhou veteran Captain Jin Chao, oh, by the way, and General Liu Yuan, I heard that it was because he was worried about the big handsome, so with Captain Jin coming first, there were 3,000 military horses behind, and they were hurrying over!" ”

Tang Hu let out a long breath, fortunately, no problem, since Jin Chao led the team, and Liu Yuan, the commander of the White Horse Battalion, also came, it proves that this Liu Yuan is still reliable.

"Prepare for reinforcements!" Tang Hu commanded loudly.

The tragic situation of the Dingzhou army surprised Liu Yuan, it was worse than he imagined, looking at the one-eyed general at the head of the team, Liu Yuan knew that this person was Li Qing's personal guard, one of the legends of Dingzhou, General Tang Hu Tang, still separated by dozens of steps, then rolled the saddle and dismounted, trotted all the way over, and said while running: "General Tang, the last general is late for rescue, please forgive me!" Forgiveness! ”

Tang Hu jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "It's good to come, it's a family when you come, what is there to forgive and not forgive!" He stepped forward and patted each other on the shoulder affectionately, with a smile on his face.

Tang Hu is a straight man, but he didn't know that a lot of information was revealed in his words, Liu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, and then thought about it carefully, he couldn't help sweating, and the other party was also guarding himself, fortunately he didn't listen to Liu Jiang's idea, he really had that thought, and now he is not a family.

I was glad in my heart, but my face was silent, and I said again and again: "General Tang, please introduce me to the marshal, and the last general will ask the marshal for guilt!" ”

When Tang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, the marshal in the army was a Xibei goods, and he really wanted to treat him as a marshal for the other party to meet, but it was not appropriate, after all, the other party is now also a senior general in Dingzhou, and there is no problem with loyalty now, but now tell the other party the truth, Tang Hu can't make up his mind.

"Well, General Chen, the big guy is sick, and he can't see anyone now, anyway, the big guys are going to go to your white horse crossing, and when you get there, it's not too late to see you again, it's not too late to see you again!" Tang Hu was in a hurry and thought of an idea to prevaricate the other party.

But Liu Yuan didn't think so, and said in his heart that the other party was really still guarding against himself, but fortunately he didn't fight back, otherwise not only would he not be able to catch Li Qing, but he would be bitten hard by the other party.

Forced smiled at the moment: "It's okay, it's okay!" Then ask General Tang to greet the marshal for me. ”

"Well said, well said!" Tang Hu himself was a little embarrassed, but his face was black, and it was not easy to see that he was red.

After a few hours, the main force of Liu Yuan's White Horse Battalion arrived, but these people brought a lot of supplies, and immediately set up camp on the spot, distributing materials while seizing the time to rest.

The soldiers can rest, but Huo Zhensheng, the military medical officer, is busy on all fours, Liu Yuan brought some medicinal materials, from this point of view, Liu Yuan is also very careful, knowing what a defeated army needs most, with this batch of medicinal materials, at least a considerable number of soldiers' lives can be saved.

Seeing that Chen Zeyue was re-bandaged after being drugged, Tang Hu finally took a breath.

After resting for only a few hours, the army was back on the road, but for now, it was a moment earlier when it arrived at Baimadu, and it was safe a moment earlier.

"General Tang!" Liu Yuan walked over.

"What's the matter?" Tang Hu asked.

"General Tang, you and Captain Jin, as well as my younger brother Liu Shan are one step ahead, after I personally lead two thousand soldiers to break off, Zeng Lu and the two thieves are not far from us, maybe there will be a fierce battle!" Liu Yuan is also a person who made a decisive decision, since he has made a choice, he might as well be a little more single, and show his loyalty a little more thoroughly, this time he really gambled his life, if Li Qing is safe, he will have a great merit to save the driver, and he will be prosperous and rich in the future, and with such an opportunity, he may be cited as a confidant.

"Good!" Tang Hu nodded with emotion, and said in his heart Lao Chen is still suspicious of the other party, is this Liu Yuan a man, now that the Dingzhou Army looks like this, the other party is still so righteous, and when Lao Chen is good, he must persuade Lao Chen to apologize to the other party, everyone will drink together, and they will be brothers in life and death in the future, Tang Hu knows that their remnant army will be with Liu Yuan in the future, and they will hold on to Baimadu at least until the spring of next year, and the Tuojiang River will thaw at this time, in the past few months, I am afraid that there will be battles every day!

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the next trip was unusually smooth, and the pursuers who had been chasing after them suddenly slowed down for some reason, until Tang Hu and the others arrived at Baimadu, and the pursuers were still hundreds of miles away, and during this period of time, the other party did not advance much.

Tang Hu and the others, who stepped on the steep fortress of Baima Crossing, breathed a long sigh of relief.

And a hundred miles away, Diemo wept bitterly and knelt in front of Nafu, for a period of time, under the crazy urging of Nafu, the Bai cavalry has been the vanguard, every time the first to engage with the guard battalion is bound to be them, the Bai elite is indeed very strong in combat, but in front of the guard battalion, they are one step worse, the so-called chess is one thing behind, tied up, on the battlefield, especially their cavalry of this grade, this gap determines life and death, although they have caused great losses to the guards, But the losses of the Bai were even more staggering, and the 10,000 Bai cavalry at the time of the rebellion were now only more than 5,000 remaining, and when Nav once again frantically ordered Diemo to speed up, Diemo fell to his knees at Nave's feet.

"Princess, let the Lu clan cavalry and the Zeng clan go first, our Bai clan has this strength, and if we continue like this, even if we kill Li Qing, we will be finished!"

Diemo's disobedience bought a rare time for Tang Hu and the others, and they went to Baimadu safe and sound.

Diemo, who had been whipped by Nav a few times, stiffened up and refused to be such a pioneer once, and Nafu could only reluctantly slow down his progress.
