Volume 1 Is There a Way on Earth in Troubled Times 4 Rushing I.

The group was in one place, with Deng Sanren in front and Yellow Donkey in the back, out of the grove, silently and hurried at night.

Whether it is a man or a horse, after fighting and fleeing for their lives, although they have a short rest, they are still very tired. The few people sent out by Chen Hu and Brother Huang Donkey are all one person and two horses, so there are still one horse and two people at this time, and the speed can't be improved. Deng San traveled all the way and kept looking back. He always felt unsteady, and when the victory in Fengzhou was decided, would Polo Timur send military horses and make another lightning attack?

The firelight of Toyosu gradually disappeared, and it was pitch black in front and behind, and the fields beside the road were swarthy, many of them had been abandoned for a long time, and the grass was overgrown under the snow. The clatter of horses' hooves, in the silence of the night, was very loud and heard far away.

The only thing that's okay is that this year is a warm spring. In the past, at such a time, it was like an ice cave outside the gate and in the wild fields of Liaodong, and the hands and feet could not be stretched. Many of his brothers had no ears, no noses, and a few fingers and toes, all of whom had been frozen off during several years of war.

In the second half of the night, the moon came out, and the clouds were hidden, dim, and lifeless.

Eventually the moon sets in the east, the first light appears on the horizon, and the sky is about to dawn. One night and a half day, according to the horse's footsteps, Yunnei Prefecture is not far away. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, if Yunnei was also surrounded, the surroundings would not be so quiet. Even if you can't hear the sound from a distance, there will always be some abnormal clues.

Like a sparrow in the treetops, like a sentry released by the enemy.

Deng She also breathed a sigh of relief, but he still cheered up and reminded Deng San: "It's almost here, Dad, tell the brothers to make some preparations." Be prepared. ”

Deng San nodded, turned his head and shouted: "Cheer up, hot knives and guns, eat something if you are hungry." You are not allowed to dismount, and it is time to feed the horses some fodder. Turning his head, he couldn't help but turn his head again, looked at the way he came, looked around, and was slightly uneasy, "Your uncle, it's too quiet." ”

Including Brother Huang Donkey's people, all of them began to heat the knife. The so-called hot knife is to warm the handle of the knife and gun through the soft cloth, and then try the sword out of the sheath and into the sheath, with the string of the bow and arrow, and move the arrow in the leather bag. The weather outside the gate was too cold, and when encountering battles and being attacked by sneak attacks, there were many phenomena in which sabers were frozen and could not get out of their sheaths, arrows were condensed into a ball by night frost, and the handle of the gun was too frozen to tear off a layer of skin.

Brother Huang Donkey stepped forward and lined up beside Deng San.

He looked down on Deng San from the bottom of his bones, they didn't believe in Maitreya or King Ming, their style was barbaric, and they were very brave in fighting, but they were more fierce in stealing things, in the final analysis, it was still a horse thief style, and the mud couldn't support the wall. But at this time, he felt that he should also let go of his arrogant figure a little, after all, they could be regarded as having shared hardships, and as a descendant of a thousand households, he also felt that it was his responsibility to boost their morale at this time.

"Wait until we get to Yunnei, and then contact Dongshengzhou, you see, we still have thirty or forty thousand horses in these two states. Kill him with a horse pistol, the inside and the outside should be combined, and Polo Timur, a Tartar, has to be like in Henan, and then suffer defeat. His words didn't get much response from Deng San, and it was obvious that the blisters on his face attracted Deng San's attention more than his words.

Brother Huang Donkey was a little annoyed, and Deng San's gaze made him very uncomfortable. Deng She appeared at the right time: "Hungry, Huang Qianhu, I still have some dry food here, you eat first." ”

Deng She, the child, was not bad, he took the dry food, and while eating, he thought, it was difficult for him to grow up in a group of horse thieves, he had no rough habits, and he knew etiquette very well.

He smiled approvingly at Deng She, and nodded his head as encouragement and praise. Deng She seemed to understand what he meant, smiled back, walked backwards, and said to Deng San: "I'll go to the back and take a look, don't let someone fall behind." ”

If you want to survive in troubled times, there is a simple truth: no one has no horses, you are nothing. If someone has a horse, you are the first man.

Deng Sanren is coarse, from the time Deng She's father ,—— the second master of the horse thief died in battle, Deng She took the initiative to take over his father's original work and has always taken care of his brother. Although he is small, he has the foundation of communication in his previous life, and he has done well. Where is the age, it's too young to talk about respect, but it's quite popular with the brothers.

The whole team went around, and even Brother Huang Donkey's subordinates didn't miss out. No one is left behind, fatigue is exhaustion, and everyone is in good spirits. After inspecting the wounded, Deng She transferred some dry food from his brother and distributed it to Brother Huang Donkey's subordinates, seeing that everyone had a share, Deng She also ate it.

A few rangers appeared in front of them, and soon thousands of cavalry appeared in front of them as if at once. The earth shook, and thousands of troops shook.

In the midst of the military horses, a big banner with the word "Wang" written on it is the Marshal Wang Shicheng stationed in Yunnei. It must have been reported by the messenger and came to the aid of Fengzhou. The galloping momentum of 10,000 horses, overwhelming, and the majestic and strong military might, in just one moment, expelled the shadow of the defeat of more than 200 people and the fall of Fengzhou.

It's not that they haven't seen a big scene, but after the defeat, they feel completely different when they see this kind of big scene on their own side, and they can't talk about it the same day.

Brother Yellow Donkey laughed greatly, he wanted to say something, those rangers had already arrived in front of him. At the moment, he couldn't take care of Deng San, and a horse was catching up at the moment, shouting: "We are under the command of Fengzhou Guan Pingzhang, and we are here to report the encirclement!" The previous messengers were my men. ”

The shaking of the earth became more and more intense, and the snow and leaves on the trees in the nearby fields fell one by one, and the sparrows and birds had long been frightened and disappeared. The snow was falling, even the trees were shaking, and everyone was almost out of breath. Deng San heard Deng She shouting behind him, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

He turned his head again and saw Deng She anxiously clapping his horse rushing towards him, seeing the brothers behind him panicking from joy, and seeing this panic from back to front, like a wave, instantly swept the entire small team.

He immediately turned his head back and whipped down his whip fiercely: "Tartar! Tartars! Tartars! ”

The panic passed through him, spread to Brother Yellow Donkey, and then to several rangers who were with Brother Yellow Donkey, rolling endlessly, and the cavalry on the opposite side paused briefly. The big flag waved, and the main general probably wanted to list an impact formation, but it was too late, Deng San and they were behind them, ten miles away, and the big flag of the Yuan army went from small to large, from vague to clear.

It was a rare large-scale cavalry encounter.

One side was in a hurry to rescue, the other side was in a hurry to attack, and the scout rider didn't go too far, and he suddenly encountered it here. The place where it was encountered was not suitable for cavalry combat. The roads are not wide, and the fields are soft and difficult to walk after the snow melts.

Deng She knew that Wang Shicheng's cavalry in Yunnei was over. First, the prestige of the Yuan army's great victory and high morale; Wang Shicheng's army met the enemy army halfway to the rescue, and the morale of the already low morale would be even lower and even panicked. Second, Wang Shicheng's hesitation was a fatal mistake, and the brave one who met on a narrow road won, and the Yuan army did not hesitate at all, and directly accelerated to meet the enemy.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and his attention immediately turned to another question: what to do with those of them caught between the two armies?

"Onward! Forward! Brother Yellow Donkey shouted desperately, leaning on the horse's back, and before his voice could be spoken, it was blown away by the wind and disappeared into the sound of the horses' hooves of the two armies.

The army of Yunnei Prefecture gave up the formation, and several officers jumped to the front of the formation and led the charge, judging from the color of the clothes, most of them were thousands of households, and even one was ten thousand. If they move forward like this, they will definitely disrupt the charge of their own army, and thousands of households and thousands of households are on the front line in person, how can Wang Shicheng make way for them and let them run into the rear army? I'm afraid that at the first time, they will be shot into a ball of hedgehogs by their own people.

What to do?

Sweat broke out on Dunshe's forehead. He knew what to do, but he couldn't make that decision for a long time. Hitting backwards is just as dead for the exhausted and wounded brothers.

That's it, put it to death and then live, not to mention that the Yuan army, which responded to the battle in a hurry, suddenly turned from marching to combat, and there are still loopholes. Deng Schelle turned the horse, and Deng San quickly issued an order from the front line: "Gun!" Knife! All backwards and rushes! "At this time, what helps people make the right choice and make up their minds in the shortest possible time is not wisdom, but the ruthlessness that comes out of the sea of blood in the sword mountain.

Three miles behind him, there were reinforcements from Yunnei Prefecture; Five miles away in front of him, there was the Yuan army from Fengzhou.

"Wen Laosi, follow me! Three riders and one column, two people and one horse in the back, and one with bows and arrows in front! Your uncle, see it, shoot in front of Lao Tzu's face. Deng San rushed to the front, Wen Huaguo on the one hand, Deng She on the other, he tried to drive Deng She to the back, but Deng She resolutely refused.

Between the two Mount Tai in front and behind, even if it is hidden in the middle of more than 200 people, what is the use? Maybe he was going to die here, Dunshe thought it was ridiculous, he felt like he was embarrassed by the face of the people who had traveled through the previous world. See what you've done since you crossed over? Wandering, killing people and setting fires, horse thieves, red scarves, first watched his father and godfather work hard to eat a full meal, and now he is following his godfather to work hard for others to eat a full meal, and he has never done a single thing with a head.

A mere 100 households, a 100 households that can't even save their lives.

Messy thoughts, one after another, the Yuan army, is getting closer and closer. He had a bad history in his previous life, and he didn't know the fate of this Northern Expeditionary Army, but he knew very well the final fate of King Xiao Ming and Liu Futong. One was sunk to the bottom of the river by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other, how did he die? In short, none of them survived.

Then again, what can you do in this world?

Dunshe knew himself well. History is not good, technology? Not to mention anything else, he even knew the recipe for the most basic explosives from a firecracker after he came to this world! In this sense, he is not even as good as an ancient.

Poetry and poetry are known, but what era is this? Among the ten people, eight prostitutes, nine Confucians, and ten beggars, the children of saints have been reduced to an era where they are only a little stronger than beggars!

If he hadn't grown up among horse thieves since he was a child, learned to ride horses, shoot arrows, use guns, and dance knives, he would simply be a waste.

He never thought that he had the ability to divide one side and then compete for the world, he wanted to live a good life for two days. Perhaps, if you can survive this time, you should find a chance to go to the south to join Zhu Yuanzhang? I heard that he was prosperous in Jiangnan. "Accumulate grain, build a high wall, and slowly become king", these nine words don't know if someone has dedicated them to him, if not, it is a stepping stone. The iron hooves thundered, and the Yuan army's spear, which was getting closer and closer, reflected the light, and Deng She closed his eyes slightly.

The newborn morning sun sprayed a thin red sun, and Deng She discovered another factor that was unfavorable to him. They are facing the sun, and the enemy is facing away from the sun.

Keeping an eye on the formation of the Yuan army on the opposite side, Deng San led the entire team to constantly adjust the direction in the sprint. One is to wait for the large forces behind to catch up, and the other is to choose the opponent's weak area. The enemy's arrows were shot in front of the horse, and they were within the range of the Yuan army, and at this time, they gambled on their luck.

But fortunately, the army of Polo Timur, formerly the local armed forces formed by his father in the south, was mainly tenants and scoundrels among the Han people, and compared with the Mongols and the Semu Tanma Red Army, it was far inferior in horse archery. The formation was also not lined up, and the power of the rain of arrows was greatly weakened. Deng San, Deng She, and Wen Huaguo have good armor, although they are not equipped, and the key parts of the mount are also a little bit of iron and cowhide, and they have strong resistance.

A needle pierced a large stone.
