Chapter 246
The messenger of the Ming army naturally knew in his heart that Zhou Jun was also helpless, but he was angry that Zhao Kuangyin framed himself as a meticulous work.
Now Zheng En is leading his troops to come, although the number is scarce, but after all, it is more than 300 lives.
What's more, the emperor was approaching Weizhou City, and time was urgent, so he followed Zheng En, and the group turned to the west and galloped away.
After two hours of hurrying, more than 300 people finally intercepted the Baili Wuji New Army in Taoshui.
The matter was too thrilling, Baili Wuji was rushing to the west bank of the Taoshui River, and when the new army was preparing to cross the river, the messenger of the Ming army rushed to the east bank of Taoshui with Zheng En's three hundred horsemen.
The new army was prevented from crossing the river across the river, and then more than 300 people crossed the Taoshui to meet Baili Wuji.
At this time, ten miles east of the Tao River, the cavalry of the Liao army appeared.
If Baili Wuji led the new army to cross the Taoshui, then if he wanted to retreat again, he would need to lose at least thirty percent of the new army soldiers.
Baili Wuji had no choice but to make the new army turn again, leaving Taoshui and heading north, and now it can only be hoped that the Liao army has not blockaded the north of Luqu.
Otherwise, the Forces nouvelles would have nowhere to go.
Along the way, Zheng En apologized to Baili Wuji several times for Zhou Jun not being able to come as promised.
Baili Wuji felt sour in his heart, and comforted him: "Fourth brother doesn't have to take this matter to heart, since there has been an accident, Zhou Guo is not dishonest." ”
Baili Wuji's generosity increased Zheng En's guilt, and he hoped that Baili Wuji would be furious, and even kill him, which was better than the eyes of the new army soldiers looking at him and making him embarrassed.
In fact, it was Zheng En who thought too much about it, although the soldiers of the New Army disdained Zhou Jun to break his promise. But I really didn't blame the general of Zhou in front of me.
The soldier advocates the word "affection", and no one will blame or despise a warrior who is willing to risk his life to fulfill his promise.
Baili Wuji saw Zheng En's discomfort. said with a smile: "Fourth brother, the only way to do this now is to go north, hoping to find a way back, otherwise, I will really be buried in this foreign country." ”
Although Baili Wuji was saying with a smile, the soldiers of the new army and Zheng En who heard this both understood. This is no joke, but a very likely ending.
Since the Liao army also participated in this battle, and such a large number of troops went south. How can you not block the road to the north.
Baili Wuji ordered the new army to go north, but it was just to let the officers and men of the new army have a hope in their hearts and not be knocked down by despair.
Sure enough, it was just twenty miles north. The scout who had gone out came back to report it. Twenty miles to the north, there were a large number of obstruction cavalry, the number of which could not be seen, at least 80,000.
Baili Wuji smiled bitterly when he heard this, at this point, the way of life has been broken.
The five divisions of the four kingdoms of Tubo, Liao, Zhubu, and Uighur marched to the Central Plains at the same time, but they did not know that the two elite Ming armies in Tubo were actually the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If he knew, he would have attacked with all his might. In this era of the world, capture or kill the emperor of a country. That would be tantamount to destroying half of the country. The Ming Kingdom, which lost its emperor, was bound to have civil strife because it wanted to support another emperor, and now the Four Kingdoms and the Five Ministries took this opportunity to advance into the Central Plains.
But this is only if, because they don't know that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is deeply involved, and the combat effectiveness of the special operations army and the new army makes them really not want to gnaw on these two hard bones.
This is the hard wound between the coalition forces of the four countries and the five ministries, and they all expect other countries to gnaw these two hard bones.
And often this ending will make a gap in the encirclement.
When Baili Wuji and the new army fell into deep despair, the 30,000 Uighur cavalry from the east pursued the new army, but they had never fought with the new army, and they did not know how powerful the new army was, so they inexplicably ran headlong and were only thirty miles away from the new army.
In fact, if it was only these 30,000 Uighur troops, there would be hope for the new army to get out of trouble, at least partially, but tens of thousands of troops would be able to detect the news within a radius of 100 miles, and the other three besieged armies would naturally swarm in, so that even if the soldiers of the new army were all three-headed and six-armed, they could not escape the end of the entire army.
After hearing the news, Baili Wuji said to Zheng En with a wry smile: "Fourth brother, I'm afraid I'm really going to fold here this time, after the war, you can run away, don't make senseless sacrifices." ”
Zheng En laughed loudly, at this time, he had already let go of his mind, indeed, since it was a dead end, he could only die.
Zheng En finished laughing and said to Baili Wuji: "Big brother, I only admired the second brother and the third brother in the past, and later added a big brother, you and my brother died here together today, how fast?" Hugh wants to say those frustrating words again, and now, a certain only hopes that the second brother can get the news of the Liao army in time and block Bu from going south, and also hopes that the third brother can hold Weizhou. ”
After saying a sigh, even this rough man knew that under the encirclement and attack of a coalition army of such a scale, it would only be a matter of time before Weizhou City fell. If you want to hold Weizhou, it is difficult.
Seeing Zheng En sighing, it was Baili Wuji's turn to comfort him: "Fourth brother, don't worry, Zhou Guo is now under the governance of the second brother, and it is no longer what it used to be, and with the help of Ming Guo, these clowns can't make any waves." ”
Zheng En thought of the national strength of the Ming Kingdom and the combat power of the Ming army, and nodded unconsciously, he was convinced of this.
But there are huge waves churning in Baili Wuji's heart, without himself, will Ming Guo still be Ming Guo?
With his own benevolence, he did not kill his monarchs in Shu, Southern Tang and other countries, thinking that under his control, they had nowhere to oppose if they wanted to, but now, if they die here today, then, even if these old kings don't want to rebel, I'm afraid those fierce generals will also force them to rebel.
These thoughts were only present in my mind for a moment, and the scouts continued to report that the Uighur cavalry coming west was approaching twenty miles.
At this time, a strange idea suddenly flashed in Baili Wuji's mind.
The coalition army, from ancient times to the present, the weakness of the coalition army is that they maintain their own strength, and the dispatch is not smooth, even if the momentum is large, but it is the easiest to break through, and now the weakest strength in the four directions is only the Jiaoluo Division.
This was also Baili Wuji's original idea, defeating the Jiaoguoluo Division, going north to occupy Shanzhou, and completely destroying the Jiaoguoluo.
Only because the battlefield situation was complicated later, and the army of the Tubo Luo King went north to attack the new army, so the new army could only retreat in the northeast, but now that the siege of Luqu has been resolved, it is naturally impossible for the tens of thousands of troops of the Luo Dynasty to be stationed in a small county town with the remnants of the Jiaoluo Luo, and must have joined the coalition army in the east in order to jointly attack the Central Plains.
Then there is a gap here, and the new army can completely fight back from the original way of retreat, and as long as it defeats the remnants of the horns, the new army can break through the encirclement of the coalition army.
Baili Wuji immediately said to Guo Tingwei, Zheng Yanhua, Zhou Baozhong and Zheng En, who were on standby by his side: "Have you ever remembered that the day before yesterday in Luqu, Guo Tingwei and Zhou Baozhong's attack on the Jiaoguo Luo Department was almost defeated, and the new army could continue to break through to the west.
