Chapter 252: Escape
Chapter 252: Escape
An Xiaoliang did not go straight to the south, but took a dozen or so relatives to run southwest all the way, fleeing in the direction of Tianpeng Mountain in Zhenxiong Mansion.
He knew the tide was turning.
In terms of combat power, the Yongning Army of Extravagant Chongming is the strongest, and the Wusa Army of Shuixi is the strongest. The first time he suffered a big loss of Lao Shun in Lu Guang, it can be said that it was because of the carelessness of the enemy, this time of course, there is the same reason, but he can beat his 10,000 people unscathed to the annihilation, if it is not for his personal experience, Leader An will not believe it if he dies! An Xiaoliang knows how to fight well, however, the defenders put people in front of them and immediately cut off the back road, kill the shooters first and destroy the long ladder, and finally start a one-sided massacre step by step without hurry...... This kind of tactics is unheard of!
This is still the Sichuan army, the Sichuan army that is difficult to see Sun Jie's back.
The defending Ming army has an advantage, but the problem is that field battles are not good. is also the Shuixi Army, and the cowardly 4,000 people set up an ambush for one of Sun Jie's battalions, and the end result was the death of the main general and the annihilation of the whole army. Okay, even if there were two battalions of Hechi Dog Liu Chao to help in that battle, but Wumi brought 5,000 elites, it was really Sun Jie's battalion, right? The result? The exact same commander died, and the whole army was destroyed! With such terrifying combat power, if Sun Jie came up from behind, no one would be able to run away, whether it was King Hao or Elder An! Escaping back by himself is just a first-level merit for the Ming army.
So An Xiaoliang decided to go south from Zhenxiong Mansion to Wusa - no matter what, An Qijue, who became a Xuanfu envoy, is still his son, and Shebai is still his wife, and Ming Guo should spare his life in their face, right? At this point, it is important to save your life.
After running non-stop all day, they crossed the mouth of the Sancha River (the two rivers meet, and the Chishui River is downstream) at Tianpengtong at night, and the exhausted group fell asleep on the edge of the forest beside the road, and was not awakened by a noise until the next day. An Xiaoliang and a few people sat up in shock, peeked through the gap in the bushes to the official road, and found that soldiers were passing outside. The good horse, on the other hand, snorted impatiently at the noise, and someone in the group outside heard it and shouted at the woods......
Then they were surrounded by the soldiers who rushed over.
Then, An Xiaoliang, who was tied up by five flowers, saw Shibai in a military uniform.
The light outside the cave was dazzling, and only a few dark figures could be seen blocking the entrance of the cave. The car spoon grabbed the sand on the ground casually, raised his arm to block the sun, and with the other hand, he had put the Miao knife across his chest, and at the same time hid the unconscious Hao Yin behind him.
The cave was very dark, and several people at the entrance of the cave couldn't see the situation inside clearly for a while, so the two sides were silently stalemate for a moment. The car spoon was about to go out and throw out the sand to confuse the other party's eyes and then fight hard, when suddenly someone asked in a familiar local voice: "Are you the leader of the car spoon?" β
They are both Miao people, and their language is the same, but Sichuan and Guizhou are hundreds of miles, and the accents of each village that are a little farther away are still slightly different. At this time, the car spoon also saw the outfits of several people clearly - they were all the clothes of Lin Zhou Lao Zhai.
Own!
These three were all hunters from Lin Zhou, and they followed the smoke of the fire in the car spoon and saw him from afar. However, the hood of the car spoon was still wrapped around the arm of the extravagant Yin, and the coat was also taken off, otherwise it would have been recognized by the ornamental pattern logo on it. This is already the sphere of influence of Dishui Village, although there was a vicious battle yesterday, but several people were still in the depths of the mountain at that time no one knows, seeing the car spoon alone sneakily hiding, it is estimated that each other is a friend and not an enemy, so they have the courage to touch it.
Seeing Hao Yin, several clansmen were even more surprised. Someone carries an antidote with him, and he can't care if it's the right symptom, so he will pour it down when he wakes up, anyway, those common poisons are those kinds, and it's better than nothing. As for the wounds that had been burned from the severed arm, the hunters who only brought the knife wound medicine also applied it to the wounds covered with ashes of plants and trees, regardless of the three, seven, twenty-one, and ground, and once again tossed Hao Yin to death. Then several people took turns to carry Hao Yin to the depths of the mountains in the southeast.
In the evening, when eating roasted wild mouse meat around the fire, the car spoon proposed to go west to Wufeng Mountain to find the king of luxury. Hearing this, several hunters were stunned, looked at each other but did not make a sound, and continued to bury their heads and gnaw on mouse bones. Sensing the abnormality, he asked the car and got out of the car and learned a thunderbolt-like news on a sunny day: Yesterday, these people were in the forest about twenty or thirty miles east of Wufeng Mountain, and suddenly heard a noisy voice, sneaked over to peek, it was the Ming army of the brigade marching in the direction of Wufeng Mountain, and the team was endless, not to mention that there must be one or two hundred thousand people. In order to avoid them and not be willing to go home empty-handed, a few people ran north to the hill of Dishui Village. Thinking of the car spoon just now, it was said that the King of Luxury was in Wufeng Mountain, and the intentions of those Ming troops couldn't be more obvious! At this time, the east and south of Wufeng Mountain were surrounded by the Ming army, and they could not pass.
"Let's go back to Laozhai first. The great king Ji is a celestial appearance, with the protection of the ancestral gods, Ah Yin can't miss anything if he is injured. The old village is full of relatives, in case ...... At least ...... "for a long time, a hunter." Although he didn't finish speaking, everyone understood the meaning of the words.
The eldest of the three shook his head: "Lao Zhai can't go back." The last time Luo rebelled and brought people over to burn Jiufeng Tower, a Han official followed him and recorded all the families. Lin Zhou is a luxury village, and when the war is over, they will definitely come. Don't say that Luo rebels and dogs know Ah Yin, if only the Han official took the brochure and nodded his head, he wouldn't be able to hide it. Besides, this injury is a sword wound at a glance, Ah Yin has been a strong temper since he was a child, and he will not bow to the Han official when he dies, at that time everything is over, we will harm the king of luxury. β
The spoon nodded: "Yes." Lao Zhai can't go back. Otherwise, you send Ah Yin to Jinsha, and the master of Sizhai will not betray his luxury family. I'll go to the king to report that a mountain is so big, and a person can always find a gap to get through. β
The elder still shook his head: "It's not appropriate." We know the master of Sizhai, but he can't recognize us. You say he's reliable, but isn't he not a luxury? In this year, you must always keep a hand. Just like the elephant, the king of luxury once thought he was reliable. It's not difficult for us to bring Ah Yin over, if he has a bad intention to tie everyone up and hand them over to Han Guan, we can't afford to die this responsibility. β
Che Spoon said urgently: "So what? β
The elder thought for a while: "Let's send Ah Yin to Jinsha together, and the three of us will go back to Lin Zhou, and you will bring him into the village yourself." When I saw the owner of Sizhai, I mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that Ah Yin was sent over by the brothers of Lao Zhai. Speaking of this, he looked at the two companions, "When we encounter Ah Yin's matter, no one should mention it when we go back, and if one less person knows, Ah Yin will be safe." Then a fierce light flashed in his eyes, "If the master of Nasi Village treats Ah Yin well, our luxury family will never forget this kindness for generations; If you have other thoughts, let Ah Yin fall into the hands of Han officials...... Our Laozhai really can't defeat the Han army, but even if he dies, he will slaughter his little golden sand and leave no chickens and dogs! β
"But, the king......" The face of the car spoon was sad.
"Are you going to die for nothing, or are you going to protect the young village master and leave a bloodline for the king of luxury?" The old man looked fixedly at the cart.
An Xiaoliang was untied and sat down under Shebai.
After Shebai regained control of Wusa, with the help of his mother's family, he killed An Xiaoliang's wife and An Rong's sister An Rong. In order to make her seven-year-old baby son An Qijue sit firmly in the position of Wusa's Xuanfu envoy, she not only had to make her position clear to the Ming Kingdom, but also completely eliminate the potential threat of the Shuixi Group, so after receiving Sun Jie's order to cooperate with the battle, she led 500 Wusa's henchmen and 2,000 Wumeng soldiers to the north. Along the way, Zhenxiong soldiers who received An Yunao's further mobilization orders also joined one after another, with a force size of more than 4,000 people.
Although the Zhanyi Long clan was under the jurisdiction of the governor of Yunnan, out of common interests, it had formed an alliance with the Baishu blood, and sent 2,000 native soldiers into Wusa Mansion to take over the Qixing Pass, firmly blocking the path in the direction of Bijie in Guizhou.
Seeing such a formation, An Xiaoliang knew even more that the destruction of the two kings of luxury and An was irretrievable, and the only thought at the moment was how to save his life. Shebai summoned several of his relatives and gave such and such orders, and in the face of the probing eyes secretly cast by the guards, An Xiaoliang sighed lightly and nodded. He had to seize his only chance to escape.
The Lu'an coalition soldiers who retreated to Wufeng Mountain were panicked. Although I don't know where Sun Jie, Liu Chao and An Yunao are, there is no doubt that they are not far from the east and south, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 strong soldiers in these two directions, which is a dead end. To the north is Yongning, this city has been beaten by Chongming and An Xiaoliang, and their heads are broken under the wall, and it is impossible to rush down. To the west are the mountains that are stacked on top of each other, and over these mountains is the Zhenxiong Mansion that has completely fallen to the Ming Kingdom. To the north of Zhenxiong is the more impenetrable Le'an Mountains, to the south is Wusa and Zhanyi, and to the west is Wumengβall of which are enemy territory, and even if they can cross the mountains, this demoralized army will be consumed like water flowing into the sand, and it will not go far before it is consumed......
An Bangyan, who was at a loss, regretted it a little. He has too many regrets: he should have taken Guiyang a long time ago, he should have killed Liu Chao a long time ago, he should have seen through Sun Jie's voice, and he should have not been tempted by the grain and grass outside Yachi City...... Even earlier today, he should have listened to Brother Amin's advice and mustered up Yu Yong to rush out of the encirclement from Dishui Village! At this time, it was too late to say anything - after the army retreated, the road to Dishui Village had been dug by the water brain soldiers.
"Hold on! Defend Wufeng Mountain, carry Sun Jie hard, fight to break the net, and then kill back the same way! Yu Chongming said categorically.
In addition to the Tiantai and Hongyan, which no longer exist, the remaining twenty-six villages are also a little too wide to guard, and leaving a thousand people in each place is tantamount to giving Sun Jie a head. Therefore, the two discussed overnight, and took the initiative to abandon more than a dozen cottages on the periphery, and the next day, the coalition forces began to build fortifications outside the eight core villages such as Taohong Dam.
Later that day, the two kings received some reports one after another, both good and bad. The bad news is that people are on the run, and there are almost a few hundred in number. An escape of this magnitude has never been seen since the uprising.
"Phew! These cowards! Extravagant Chongming took a sip hatefully, "If I catch ......" the second half of the sentence didn't say it - King Extravagant couldn't help but think, I don't know if he still has this chance.
However, the back was full of good news, which temporarily diluted the gloom cloud that hung over the hearts of the two kings.
The first good news was that Sun Jie's pursuers were still far away from the mountain, and Maude, who was guarding the dangerous Gooseneck Ridge, reported it. As the name suggests, a path between the two peaks that only allows two people to walk in parallel is more than three miles long, and the so-called one man is not open, referring to this kind of terrain, guarding the exit, no matter how many troops you have, you can't use it.
The second piece of good news was a message from An Xiaoliang. He led the defeated army to the southwest, and at this moment he contained about 2,000 people, and was on his way back to Wufeng Mountain.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadows of the trees very long, and the two people who supported each other came out of the dense forest, and in the twilight, wisps of cooking smoke rose from the bamboo building of Zhijinzhai. One said something to the other one-armed man, carefully helped him to sit down on a rock, and then the two waited quietly by the edge of the forest.
Twilight slowly fell, and a man rushed to the stockade. Soon, under the dim starlight, several figures appeared in the village carrying a bed board and walking quickly and silently. At the same time, the largest bamboo building lit up, the bean big light lit up, and the figure of the old man at the window, Si Dingzhou, flashed by. Then the light grew brighter and brighter, and the extinguished fire was rekindled, and the flames licked a dark crockpot, and the smell of meat slowly spread.
