Feng Zicai led his troops to retreat quickly in the direction of Hefei City, and according to the sentry report, behind them, a cavalry force of 50,000 men of the Taiping army was chasing after them.

Feng Bu's situation is very bad now, basically they are already sleepy and tired, and they can't fight anymore, once they are caught up by the cavalry of the Taiping army, the outcome will be extremely miserable, and it must only be a dead end. Feng Zicai must find a way to change this situation, otherwise, they can only face this bleak ending

"General Qiyu, ten miles away from here, there is a small road, which should be available for the army to pass through." Just when Feng Zicai was at a loss, the Tanma who was exploring the road in front suddenly reported back.

Got a path? After Feng Zicai heard this, he was overjoyed, this is tantamount to rain from the sky, it is really an endless road, as long as there are other roads, they can avoid the road and avoid the pursuit of the Taiping cavalry, so that they will be safe.

Okay, it's really good, Feng Zicai swept away the gloom just now, and he was overjoyed in an instant, and he almost screamed.

Without the slightest hesitation, he directly ordered the horses to lead the way, and then he personally led the army towards the path, time was precious, and the sooner they got out of pursuit, the safer they were.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the small intersection that Tanma said, Feng Zicai observed the road conditions and the surrounding environment slightly, and he had the bottom in his heart, on the whole, this road was not bad, at least it was no problem to escape for his life, so he no longer hesitated and ordered the army to retreat from that small road.

When Feng Zicai led the army to walk through the path for a while, he couldn't help nodding secretly, he was right, this path is really good, it is secret, and it does not affect the passage of their men and horses, it is the best way for them to escape now, now, the cavalry of the Taiping army must not be able to catch up with them again, not to mention, whether the Taiping army can find this path, even if it is accidentally discovered, this road is a small road, which is completely unsuitable for the development of large groups of cavalry, so Feng Zicai calculated that they are safe for the time being.

As soon as the army was safe, Feng Zicai joked with his cronies.

"I originally thought that this time it was a dead death, but I didn't expect that the Yan envoy had just come to report, the underworld is too crowded at this time, and the territory is not enough, so there is no way to support so many of us for the time being, even if we want to enjoy the hell life, it is impossible." Feng Zicai said with a smile.

You can see that he is in a good mood.

Escaping from death, anyone should be happy, besides, no matter how talented Feng Zicai is, he is also a human being, and he also has human emotions.

"Ha Luha, general, in my opinion, it's not that Yan Jun doesn't want to accept it, but Yan Jun doesn't dare to accept it, isn't he afraid that we will make a move to re-recruit the old department, and give him a gathering of people to make trouble and make a big fuss in the underworld? I think it's not that Yan Jun doesn't want to, but that he's afraid." The cronies who were walking not far behind Feng Zicai said with a smile.

He is also a lovely person, and he extended Feng Zicai's meaning by the way, so that the two sang and drank, and they cooperated very tacitly.

"Ha, ha, you......" Feng Zicai pointed to the cronies and generals, and said with a smile.

"General, although this place is not conducive to the pursuit of the Taiping army's large cavalry, but the mountains are high and dense, which is also convenient for ambushing soldiers, if the Taiping army ambushes a soldier here, then we will become caged birds, fish in nets, and we can't run if we want to." The cronies will be a very careful person, as soon as he stepped on this path, he felt a little frightened, he was a little worried, and he couldn't help but remind him loudly.

"You're too careful, who will ambush here, who would have expected us to take this path, don't worry, let's just go." Feng Zicai said happily, he didn't worry about it.

He was in a good mood at this time, how could he listen to this contrary advice.

"General, it's better to be careful." The general looked around and said cautiously.

Walking on this path, the general always felt cold on his back, and his hair stood on end, which was very uncomfortable.

"Hey, when did you become so timid, this is not like you, don't worry, I promise it will be fine." Feng Zicai rode a few steps to the right, approached the general, rode with him, and then stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

As soon as Feng Zicai said this, the generals also began to wonder if they were too suspicious, maybe Feng Zicai was right, what could happen, in this ghost place, who would come to ambush, who would expect Feng Bu to take this path, think too much, think too much.

Thinking of this, the general was relieved and began to joke with Feng Zicai again.

Talking and laughing, time passed quickly, according to the report of the detectives in the outpost, there are ten miles of road, they can get out of this path, and then go straight to Hefei City from the official road.

It's finally time to leave this place, Feng Zi is really happy.

The confrontation with the Taiping army all the way in Wuchang made Feng Zicai feel like purgatory, especially for Zeng Guofan, he was always passive everywhere, restrained everywhere, Zeng Guofan was too familiar with the Qing army, Feng Zicai's routines basically couldn't escape Zeng Guofan's fiery eyes, often he hadn't made a move, Zeng Guofan had already expected him first, so this battle had not yet been fought, he had already lost most of it, and it became logical to lose those territories.

In the final analysis, Feng Zicai felt that he didn't complain about losing, who let him run into Zeng Guofan.

However, he still hasn't figured out one thing, that is, he doesn't know what the monk is playing, at this critical juncture, ordered him to withdraw his troops back, what is it for, people with a discerning eye know Lu Dao, if he gives up Wuchang all the way, it is equivalent to giving up half of the Qing Dynasty to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this kind of big thing, it is impossible for Monk Greenqin not to know Lu Dao, since he knows Lu Dao, why does he have to withdraw for Lu.

Feng Zicai couldn't figure it out.

Since you can't figure it out, then you don't want to think about it, peace of mind, and hurry wholeheartedly, the closer to Hefei City, the safer they will be.

Ten miles of road, said far is not far, said near is not close, if measured by their eager desire to escape, calculated, it is a little far, but really running, but very close, so, it didn't take long for them to approach the intersection.

Seeing that the intersection was just ahead, the faces of all the Qing army soldiers, including Feng Zi, were filled with happy smiles.

It's good to make it out alive! This is the truest thought in the heart of every soldier.

"General, let's finally get rid of the pursuers and come out, think about it, it's really like a world away." The general, who had been a little worried along the way, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"I've said it all, it's okay, look at it, look at it, I'm right, don't say it, it's cool to be able to walk here safely." Feng Zicai also let out a sigh of relief, said a few words proudly, and then scolded a foul word in a low voice.

Who wouldn't be happy to be able to pick up a life from the brink of death?

"The general still has foresight, and the general admires it." The cronies will pat the ass at an inopportune time.

Feng Zicai listened, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, but it could be seen that he was very useful. Yes, who wouldn't want to hear two good words, especially those that speak to their hearts.

"Alright, order the army, with one blow, to pass the intersection as fast as possible." After being happy, Feng Zicai's face turned straight and said.

In any case, it's always better to get a little sooner.

"Yes, General." After the general finished speaking, he immediately patted his horse and went forward to give the order.

The army rushed at full speed to the exit of the trail as ordered.

Just as the Qing army was elated and ready to meet the light, he suddenly heard the sound of trumpets and cannons, and the sound of shouting and killing sounded on all sides, Feng Zicai's face changed, his eyelids jumped, and he had a premonition that something was wrong.

Sure enough, before he could send someone to inquire, the cronies were already running towards him.

"General, it's not good, there's an ambush ahead..."The cronies looked anxious, and when they saw Feng Zicai's face, they screamed wildly.

When Feng Zicai heard this, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell off the horse, this is really happy and sad, there is really an ambush.

"Don't panic, order the army to resist." Feng Zicai said urgently.

Actually, he himself panicked.

"General, the intersection has been blocked, I think we should retreat, right?" The ministry will advise.

Who knows, before he finished his words, another army rushed out behind them, and it was obviously the banner of the Taiping Army.

When Feng Zicai and the general saw this scene, their faces changed dramatically, and they understood that something bad was wrong.

"General Feng, I have been waiting here for a long time on the orders of the general." In the Taiping army, a horizontal sword and a horse came out of the crowd and shouted at Feng Zicai.

Feng Zicai looked at the Taiping generals opposite, did not answer immediately, just calmly observed the surrounding environment, he estimated whether there was a chance to find the gap in the Taiping army, and took the opportunity to highlight it, but the result disappointed him, all the loopholes around him that he agreed with had been blocked, to put it mildly, they were already turtles in the urn.

It seems that the Qing army has no way out except to fight to the death.

"General, kill, kill one is enough, kill two, earn one." The general was also well aware of the current situation, and he leaned over to Feng Zicai and whispered to him.

"Okay, then let's have a good fight with the Taiping Army, even if it is death, we have to pull him a few times on his back." Feng Zicai gritted his teeth and said.

"This general should not be simple, let me try it first, if I am not defeated, then change the general." The cronies looked at the Taiping generals opposite and took the initiative to ask Ying to fight.

He was worried that Feng Zicai would not be able to figure out the reality of the other party and would suffer a loss, so he rushed to fight this peaceful general first, so that Feng Zicai would have the opportunity to find out the situation of the other party on the side and ensure that the battle was won.

"Okay, don't mix it up, I'll go up and drag this person, and you lead the other brothers to try their best to kill in the direction of the intersection, although it is a fight to the death, but if you can escape from the road, it's always good." Feng Zicai seemed to know what his cronies were thinking, waved his hand, rejected his kindness, and assigned him another task.

"That said, General, be careful." Although the cronies will be a little worried, Feng Zicai has made a decision, and he can only carry out the order.

"Okay, you go first." Feng Zicai nodded to his cronies and said.

The cronies will clench their fists at Feng Zicai and run towards the army that is fighting to the death at the intersection.

"What, is the rest of the matter over? If the confession is over, then why not fight." The peace shouted again.

"The thief will be crazy, and your Grandpa Feng will come." Feng Zicai scolded loudly, and also rode forward.

The two horses meet, their eyes meet, sparks fly, and it seems that a dragon fight is inevitable (to be continued). If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation ......)
