Chapter 63: Tears flowed from the sky
The Guishun camp was backed by Eagle Mountain, and the Nose Leader had already set out in advance, and when the battle began, they had already crossed Eagle Mountain, avoiding the slow movement of the enemy as they did yesterday.
Zhu Cijiao and the gunners finished firing the shells, and just a few minutes after evacuating, they were discovered by the enemy who had climbed the steps of the camp and suddenly launched a pursuit.
When they had just climbed halfway up Eagle Mountain, the enemy had already caught up with them, and when they were still thirty or fifty feet away, they shot arrows indiscriminately, and two members of the team were hit by arrows in their thighs, and they could no longer run.
"Everyone threw the cannon barrels, come and help, take turns carrying them away." Seeing this, Zhu Cijiao immediately took measures to help each other.
The four team members threw the barrels of the cannons, and in teams of two, each carrying a wounded teammate, struggled forward.
Zhang Yin and Buck Flower immediately blocked Zhu Ciyi, and used the sword in their hands to slash down the arrows fired by the enemy.
Zhu Cijiao rose into the air and threw out several deadly bamboo sticks in a row, and more than a dozen archers who rushed in front fell one after another.
Another group of archers rushed up, Zhu Cijiao threw another wave of bamboo sticks, and the enemy's archers fell again.
Seeing the two injured team members being carried over Eagle Mountain, Zhu Cijiao, Zhang Yin, and Buck Hua slowly evacuated.
However, the enemy army still pursued relentlessly, and they did not take the nose squad, which only had a few hundred people, and felt that it would be easy to destroy these hundreds of people.
In order not to slow down everyone's hurry, after crossing Eagle Mountain, the two injured members of the nose team hid in a ravine, waited for the enemy to chase over, and then rushed to the sharp slope on their own.
Without the drag of the wounded, the nose-holding action team ran away, and the enemy troops who were blocked by Zhu Cijiao for a while, although they also ran wildly, they couldn't catch up no matter how they chased them, and they always kept a distance that an arrow could not shoot.
People can't catch up, arrows can't be shot, no matter how big the enemy lineup is, there is no way to take the nose team that fled in front, so they can only follow and run behind.
It was only less than ten miles away from the Jianpo slope, and everyone ran wildly for a while, gradually approaching the Jianpo. Everyone secretly thought that after running through the sharp slope, the pursuers behind would have good fruits to eat.
Walking to a mountain bend about a mile away from the sharp slope, the team members who walked in front suddenly turned back in a panic: "Oh no, the enemy army in front is blocking the road." ”
It turned out that the enemy had already guessed that Zhu Cijiao would flee in the direction of Zhen'an, and when the large army pursued from behind, a cavalry of 500 men was sent to make a detour from the direction of Quang Nam to Jianpo to block the attack.
The nose-pulling action team was suddenly attacked by the enemy on the back, and at this time, the pursuers behind were getting closer and closer to them.
The situation is critical, and a bloody path must be fought as soon as possible.
"Master, senior sister, you go to the back to block the pursuers, and I'll go to the front to open the way."
Zhu Cijiao said, and before the master and sister agreed, he had already risen into the air, grabbed a life-killing bamboo stick from his waist, and threw it out.
When Zhu Cijiao fell to the ground from mid-air, several of the enemies blocking the road in front of him had already been drawn and fell.
When the enemy was frightened, Zhu Cijiao had already drawn his sword, slashed all the way over, raised his knife and fell, and the enemy's head fell to the ground. After three or five minutes, the 500 cavalry blocking the front were killed by him.
The remaining few people ran away, and as soon as they ran a few feet, they were shot by Zhu Cijiao by throwing out a row of deadly bamboo sticks, and fell to the ground and died after running a few steps.
"Run, everyone, the enemy is coming after you." Zhu Cijiao put away his sword and shouted loudly, deliberately creating a tense atmosphere.
Seeing that Zhu Cijiao had killed all the enemies in front of him, the nose-pulling team ran forward desperately, ran over the sharp slope in one go, and quickly turned left and ran wildly in the direction of Quang Nam.
This kind of crazy running looks too much like running for your life. The enemy saw the nose-pulling squad fleeing in the direction of Guangmian and, without thinking, pursued closely.
In this way, he fell into the arms of Zhu Cijiao and successfully achieved the goal of pulling the nose. When about 10,000 enemy troops chased over the spike, the artillery team that had been in ambush on the spike immediately launched an artillery attack.
The powerful firepower instantly divided the enemy army into two parts, and the 5,000 enemy troops who were walking behind were immediately caught in the front and rear of the artillery team and the arrow rain team to block and blockade, and they were all annihilated in more than ten minutes.
The enemy seemed to have summed up the lesson of yesterday's heavy losses, and after hearing the sound of artillery from behind, instead of turning around to reinforce them, they frantically pursued the nose-pulling squad in front.
In a mountain bend, when the enemy was about to catch up with the Nose Pulling Team, the Five Elements Guards who were ambushed here suddenly flashed out.
The sword was unsheathed, quickly slashed, and the archers pursued by the enemy were not opponents at all, and in a moment, more than a thousand archers were killed without leaving a piece of armor, and blood flowed all over the scene.
By the time the enemy's short weapons caught up, the nose-pulling team had already turned right on the bend and went around a mountain forest and caught up with the vanguard in front.
After the Five Elements Guard and the enemy army that caught up after him for a while, with the skills taught by Zhu Cijiao, he took off into the air and flashed into the jungle, leaving the pursuing enemy army behind, and soon caught up with the nose-pulling action team that moved to Zhen'an.
After the battle of Jianpo, the enemy army suffered another five or six thousand casualties, and in the blink of an eye, the number of enemy troops was only eight or nine thousand, and the generals who led the army could not help but pause and grit their teeth.
In the enemy's inference, Zhu Cijiao fled to the southwest on Jianpo, and must have fled towards Guangmian, so he organized all the horses and horses to chase wildly to Guangnan, vowing to dig three feet into the ground, and also dig out Zhu Youlang's corpse and break it into thousands of pieces.
However, the enemy never expected that Zhu Cijiao led the nose-pulling team to make a 180-degree turn on the curve.
They walked through the jungle, all the way west, admiring the sunset all the way, advancing towards Zhen'an, throwing the enemy army a hundred miles away.
In the evening, Zhu Cijiao arrived in Zhen'an, and the artillery team, the arrow rain team, the side response team and two injured team members all rushed to Zhen'an.
Looking at the energetic Zhu Cijiao, he led the members of the Nose Pulling Action Team, the Five Elements Guards, and the Pioneer Action Team towards Zhen'an Village, and the team members who arrived in advance greeted him.
"Prince Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"
……
Everyone applauded and shouted, and the sound echoed in the sky above the village, and Zhu Cijiao walked to the village square amid everyone's cheers.
At this time, the portable function of the living materials warehouse of the dragon protection system has been activated, and the marching tent for distribution has been delivered.
"Let's set up a tent quickly, and come here for dinner in a quarter of an hour, and this prince will deliver wine tonight." Hearing Zhu Cijiao say that there was wine at night, everyone rejoiced again.
Everyone set up a tent and came to the square, at this time, on the square, according to the Tai Chi pattern, a long table banquet has been set up, five dishes and one soup, and a pot of local wine have also been placed in a long row.
"Everyone pours the wine to the brim, and this prince toasts everyone!" Everyone arrived, Zhu Cijiao spoke, he casually picked up a pot of wine and filled the bowl.
"Yesterday, today, everyone is good, fought two beautiful battles for the Southern Ming court, and played the prestige of the Southern Ming army, this prince thanks you! I salute you with a bowl of wine......"
Zhu Cijiao said, raised his neck, and drank it all.
At this time, everyone was so excited that they didn't know what to do, and they knelt on the ground: "Thank you, prince, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!" ”
Then he drank a bowl of wine, and before he finished it, many people were already in tears, and they had been on the run for five years, and there was not a day when they felt so proud as they do today.
