Chapter 331: The Tree Doesn't Fall, the Monkey Disperses First (Part II)
Xiang Pet ran too suddenly and too fast, so that the Dongjiang soldiers who were guarding the periphery did not react, and when they reacted to stop, Xiang Pet's brigade had already rushed out of two miles, only stopping more than 100 old and weak people who were not running fast.
Seeing this, Qi Huai, the deputy chief officer under Mao Chenglu, was anxious, pulled over the mount, and was about to lead people to catch up with him with a wave of his hand, but before he could turn his horse's head, the battalion behind him exploded.
"Defeated, defeated, defeated! Everyone is running for their lives! ”
"The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming, the brothers are fleeing for their lives!"
"The Jinzhou army is here, and the marshal has been killed!"
“”
In an instant, the camp was filled with frightened shouts, accompanied by soldiers running out like a tide. The scene was like a domino collapsing, so fast that people were stunned, and Xiang Pet was the one who toppled the first domino.
Bomb the camp!
Qi Huai was stunned, watching tens of thousands of people rushing out of the camp together, and he could see clearly that the officers running in front were all horses galloping. The officers shouted hoarsely and gathered their men uncontrollably, lest the overly panicked men would really collapse the camp and run away.
Damn, they want to join the Jinzhou Army!
Qi Huai reacted, this was not a sudden bombing of the camp at all, but someone was secretly manipulating, otherwise why didn't those frightened soldiers run to the west, not to the north, not to the south, just to the east!
Subconsciously drew a knife in his hand, and shouted at one of the generals who were about to rush here: "Lin Tai, you are ungrateful, do you want to rebel!" ”
The one who was called Lin Tai was a garrison from the Dongjiang River, followed by several thousand generals and commanders, all of whom were riding on horses, surrounded by their own personal soldiers, and behind them were the surging soldiers.
Seeing that someone was blocking the way, Lin Tai was not afraid, he just tried his best to pat the horse, and shouted without looking back: "The general trend has gone, brothers are looking for a way to live, if you think of the love of the Dongjiang River, give your brothers a way to live!" ”
"Let you go. it, you're all running away, what should you do! ”
Qi Huai was furious, and rushed up head-on, and the dozen or so personal soldiers who followed him saw this, and instinctively rushed up together, but after rushing for more than a dozen steps, they all stopped again, and stood there at a loss.
Qi Huai couldn't hear the footsteps, and subconsciously looked back, but saw that half of the Dongjiang soldiers under his command had already run away, and the rest were also looking around, all of them looking panicked and frightened. It is clear that they have been frightened by the collapse of the battalion.
Qi Huai didn't know if his soldiers were like this, and in a blink of an eye, Lin Tai's people were about to rush over, he didn't want to think about it, he pulled the horse's head violently, and his legs clamped hard, and the horse was avoided to the side. The loss is to move quickly, otherwise he will be bumped into by Lin Tai's gang, looking at the fierce eyes of the thousands of generals and generals behind Lin Tai, they can't hit him, and I'm afraid that they will cut him with a knife.
"Thank you!"
Lin Tai hit his horse and rushed over, not forgetting to hold his hands and arch his fists on the horse, and then without looking at it again, he led a group of his subordinates and soldiers to the east.
None of Lin Huai's subordinates, who had not yet run, came out to stop him, and took advantage of this mess, and the one hundred and ten old and weak who were stopped by them also went to the east to find their own Qianzong Lord.
Tens of thousands of frightened soldiers under the leadership of the generals, together to the east rushed wildly, the scene is really thrilling, occasionally stupid Liao soldiers want to stop, but instantly swallowed by the surging head, there are also some Liao soldiers do not have the courage to stop, but the people are in the middle, can not run, the brain turns faster to turn around and run to the east, the brain is not fast is to be rushed up by the war horse overturned, without waiting for people to get up, countless feet stepped up
"Come back, come back!"
"Fucking back!"
In the big camp, more than a dozen generals of Li Chengjiu, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming were crying, looking at the soldiers who didn't look back, more than a dozen people wanted to cry without tears, and there was no way at all, just stomping their feet there, not knowing what to do.
It wasn't until the people ran out of Lixu Road that Lin Huai was shocked, and when he looked around, there were still a few of his own soldiers, and he hurriedly greeted them and rushed to the camp with them. Seeing those stomping officers, Lin Huai smiled bitterly, sighed and sat on the ground, as if he had no strength at all.
The huge camp was already a mess, full of fences and tents, all kinds of weapons were thrown to the ground, pots and pans were broken, and hundreds of wounded soldiers who had been trampled in the panic were wailing and moaning incessantly. There were a few unlucky ghosts who were going up to the pit, but they didn't expect to suddenly bomb the camp, and they got up in a panic and fought to come out, but they all fell into the pit and got smelly.
The only thing that didn't get up was the camp in the northernmost part where the women were being held and robbed, and more than 2,000 lonely women didn't know what was going on, and one by one they shrank in their tents and waited anxiously for what was about to happen.
Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde, who came after hearing the news, were completely dumbfounded at the moment, thinking that there were only a few camps in chaos, but where did they know that the entire battalion had run away, and they didn't know how many helmets they had picked up, how many flags they had tripped over, and they were all stunned.
Along the way, all the way silent, the rebel generals were also frightened, tens of thousands of people were scattered in such a moment, and no matter how much they saw the big scene, they couldn't help but be shocked.
The stretching military camp was set up for nearly ten miles, and he didn't want to go any further, Li Jiucheng didn't want to go any further, he knew that he would still see the same if he went down again. Silently turned over and dismounted, silently walked to a rock, sat on it, and after a few seconds of sluggishness, he suddenly hugged his head and cried. His cry stunned Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, and they looked at him in a daze, and no one could speak.
Li Jiucheng cried so much that his old tears were red, and his whole person seemed to be a teenager old, haggard, like a gambler who lost the last pocket of rice in his family at the gambling table.
Gradually, Li Jiucheng's crying became quieter, and Li Yingyuan accompanied him sadly to persuade him.
Here, Geng Zhongming told Kong Youde in a low voice: "Send someone to see it, and there are less than a thousand people left." ”
"There are more than 2,000 people on my side." Mao Chenglu's situation is better.
Several other generals also gathered the rest of the men, but together they were less than a thousand.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Kong Youde nodded, did not speak, and looked at the east with a complicated expression.
Geng Zhongming reminded him: "Deputy marshal, you can't stay here, you have to leave quickly, otherwise the Jinzhou army will kill us, and we won't be able to escape." ”
Mao Chenglu also put down the contradiction with Geng Zhongming, and said: "What to do the brothers, but the deputy marshal has to come up with an idea." After speaking, he glanced at Li Jiucheng, who was still sobbing, and shook his head slightly.
Kong Youde frowned slightly, and then said, "Let's go back to Laizhou." ”
"Back to Laizhou?" Mao Chenglu and Geng Zhongming were shocked, why did they want to go back to Laizhou?
Geng Zhongming said: "Gao Qi is about to move, let's go back to Laizhou like this, there is no reason for him not to do it." ”
"When there were many of us, Eunuch Gao didn't dare to move us, but now like this, I'm afraid that Yang Yufan in Laizhou City will dare to move us, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of soldiers under him." Mao Chenglu didn't want to go back to Laizhou to wait for death, he still wanted to go to sea to invest money, he couldn't go to sea from Dengzhou, he could also find a way to go to sea from other places, and it was a big deal to give up some soldiers.
Kong Youde seemed to have made up his mind, he walked to Li Jiucheng's side, and said to him categorically: "The matter has come to this point, we have no other way to go, now there is only one way to descend!" Please be handsome and virtuous and surrender to Gao Qiqian. ”
