Chapter 895: Flesh and Blood
This is just a heavy team that has been attacked, but it also means that there will be other teams that will be attacked by the Divine Clothes Army on this night, and this will not be the only one.
Lin Muyu faintly felt a chill down his spine, Gong Shangming seemed to be unpredictable that the prophet himself would withdraw, how did he do it?
"Your Highness, what should I do?"
Wei Qiu was a little dazed, holding the Demon Devouring Bow in a pool of blood.
"We can't go directly to Cangnan Province. Lin Muyu's voice was very soft, and he said: "You can't let the rest of the team be attacked, listen to my orders, release all the scouts, and the rest of the people follow me to the avenue, covering the retreating team from Winter Frost City along the way." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it!"
......
Until the early hours of the morning, Lin Muyu's 10,000 foot cavalry once again slaughtered the two teams of the Shenyi Army that came to attack, but there were too many people who returned to Cangnan Province from Winter Frost City, and many teams were attacked along the way, and not only the army, but also some merchant teams were also attacked by the Shenyi Army.
The snow is constantly snorting, and the night of running has made it a little tired, and the snow is still like this, not to mention other war horses, some of the war horses have even foamed at the mouth, and they must rest, otherwise the whole team will collapse.
At this time, it began to rain in the sky, an early summer rain.
Situ Xue held up a cyan oil-paper umbrella very much, and stood beside Lin Muyu to protect her from the rain, but Lin Muyu gently pushed her hand away and said with a wry smile: "Ah Xue, no need, thank you, transfer it now." ”
"Transfer ......" Situ Xue blinked her eyes widely: "Where is the transfer?"
"Everyone is tired, go to the nearby village to rest for a while, feed the horses, and get some food, otherwise I'm afraid many people will not be able to hold on. ”
"Well, yes. ”
The rain became heavier and heavier, pouring on everyone's armor, but no one wanted to take shelter from the rain, just meandering forward in the muddy water and still maintaining a formation, this is the military prestige of the Gentian battalion.
The horse's hooves walking along the potholes and pits Lin Muyu looked up at the sky, and a powerful aura was rushing towards him, it was Bingzhang Wu Tong.
"Brush!"
The figure fell in front of Lin Muyu with a wisp of ice qi, and Wu Tong, the ice palm, respectfully hugged his fists and said: "Heir, my subordinates have found out the news in the direction of Winter Frost City, Winter Frost City was occupied shortly after we left yesterday, and the occupants are a group of cavalry regiments that call themselves the Divine Clothes Army, with a number of about 30,000. ”
"Thirty thousand cavalry?" Lin Muyu frowned: "Do they have any other moves?"
"Yes. ”
Bingzhang Wu Tong said: "My subordinates inquired and learned that Custer, the commander of the Liuji Legion, had also left the Luohekou fortress with the fastest beast cavalry and heavy cavalry, and gathered with the cavalry of the Shenyi Army in Winter Frost City, so that they had about 100,000 cavalry, and an hour ago, a large number of cavalry left Winter Frost City and rushed here. ”
"What did you say? They're rushing here?"
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu's eyebrows tightened and he stopped talking.
Wei Qiu said in a low voice: "Your Highness, what do you think Gong Shangming wants to do?"
This is what Lin Muyu is most reluctant to guess, Gong Shangming seems to have seen everything, and every blow is aimed at his weakest position, Lin Muyu clenched his fists and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Cangnan Province." ”
"Why?" Situ Sen and Situ Xue asked in astonishment.
"Because Gong Shangming won't let us go. ”
Lin Muyu wiped the rain from his chin and said, "They gathered all the cavalry, in order to kill us as much as possible before we rushed to Cangnan Province, if we continue to walk in the direction of Cangnan Province...... I'm afraid that when I arrive at the Daojiang steel parapet, there will be little left, no, I can't go to Cangnan Province anymore. ”
"There's only one way. Wei Qiu squinted his eyes and said: "We gather all the troops and baggage teams, and wait for the rabbits along the way, and fight them to the death, so that we may be able to force them back, otherwise, we will only die on the way to escape, our team is too scattered, scattered to the point that we are unable to fight back." ”
"No, there's another way. ”
"What's the solution?"
Lin Muyu looked at the south through the rain curtain, and said: "This is closer to the Qinling Mountains, and our mixed foot and cavalry marching speed is not fast, but once we enter the Qinling Mountains, this disadvantage does not exist, in the mountains, their pure cavalry and our mixed infantry and cavalry are at the same speed, we all the way along Baimang Mountain into the Lingkong Province, directly to the Dragon Cutting Pass, and Xu Jiantao's troops, this is the only way." ”
"But ......" Wei Qiu frowned and said, "There is not only Xu Jiantao in Dragon Slaying Pass now, but also the Banished Angel Corps, I'm afraid this may not be the best choice, Your Highness." ”
"It's better than sitting still, okay, no more talking. ”
Lin Muyu waved his hand lightly: "After entering the village, rest for three hours, send out a feather book, and order all the surrounding imperial troops who have not had time to retreat to gather over, and then go to Qinling together." ”
"Yes!"
......
Fortunately, the rain in early summer only stopped after a short while, and after the day cleared, two teams gathered, one was Su Yu's Qinlong Army, and the other was Yong Yifan's Shenwei Battalion, the Qinlong Army still had 8,000 troops left, and the Shenwei Battalion also had more than 10,000 people, plus Lin Muyu's Gentian Battalion 10,000 cavalry and part of the garrison of Winter Frost City, and quickly gathered nearly 40,000 troops around this small village.
When the team set out, another team gathered along the way, which was another branch of the Gentian Battalion, more than 7,000 people, and the total number of troops was close to 50,000.
But in addition, there were a large number of civilians who were reluctant to leave, but many people did not leave when they saw the banner of King Qin, and followed the team from a distance, unable to drive away.
Situ Sen came from the back of the team with his sword in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the situation is not good, these people in Winter Frost City and the surrounding states and counties are unwilling to leave, what should we do? If we take them, the goal is too big, not to mention, and it will slow down our march, how can this be good? or ...... Subordinates send cavalry to disperse them?"
"Nope. ”
Lin Muyu hurriedly raised his hand: "You can't be so arrogant, if you really do this, we won't want to go back to Lingdong Province in the future." ”
"What then?"
"Come with me. ”
"Yes!"
When Lin Muyu came to the tail of the army with Wei Qiu, Situ Sen, Su Yu and others, far away, dense civilians followed, they dragged their families with their mouths, some pushed wheelbarrows, on which dry food and some farm tools were placed, and some drove donkey carts, all of them looked tired, many people's clothes were still soaked, and no one avoided the heavy rain just now.
"King Qin!"
"It's His Royal Highness King Qin!"
"His Royal Highness King Qin is down......"
For the people, the King of Qin is the only symbol of the Qin family, and it is precisely because of him that the Qin army has the courage to continue to deal with strong enemies.
Lin Muyu turned over and dismounted, and said with a gentle expression: "Fathers and elders, the 300,000 army of the Tianji Empire is about to be killed here in a blink of an eye, Lin Muyu is incompetent, the soldiers are few and the generals are outnumbered, and they can't resist the strong enemy so they can only give up Lingdong, you guys should each escape, don't follow the army, I swear, as long as there is a chance, I will definitely lead the imperial army to kill back and regain the lost territory." ”
An old man stood up tremblingly on crutches and said, "Your Highness, we are already homeless, there are not only thieves along the way, but also bandits and bullies on the mountain, if we don't follow His Highness's army, I'm afraid we will die...... Your Highness, wherever you go, we are willing to follow you, please don't abandon us, Your Highness......"
The rest of the people echoed together, and even wailed and wept all over the field.
Lin Muyu frowned, he was not a hypocritical person, he had never known these people, and he had no connection, but he knew that if he refused such a request, then the Qin family would lose the support of the people of Lingdong, and it would be even more difficult to recover Lingdong at that time.
He groaned and said loudly: "It's okay for everyone to follow, but don't hesitate to settle down in the nearby villages along the way, follow me will be displaced and suffer, and our army's military rations are not enough to distribute to you anymore, I hope you can understand my difficulties, you can follow, but the imperial army can no longer be dragged down by the people, otherwise we don't even have the capital to make a comeback." ”
"Yes, Your Highness, we all know that!"
"Your Highness, we will not drag down the army!"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness!"
The people are full of words.
......
But in the evening, a beast cavalry of the Tianji Empire appeared on the horizon, and the people fled in all directions.
"Jie Ji ......"
In the air, a black giant eagle is hovering, it is the wolf falcon of the dragon knight, and it must be that Gong Shangming has also found the main force of the imperial army. Wei Qiu raised his hand with an arrow, and directly shot the wolf falcon to kill, but it seemed that there was nothing to be saved at all.
"Here they are. ”
Ling Shusheng descended from the sky and said, "There are at least more than 50,000 cavalry, in addition, there are nearly fifty dragon knights, I seem to faintly feel the breath of the God Emperor, and the Northern Immortal Huan should also come." ”
Wei Qiu pleaded: "Your Highness, let go of the battle, we can't just hide!"
"Nope. ”
Lin Muyu's voice was calm: "We don't have a magic crystal cannon, nor do we have too many magic heart arrows and white diamond arrows, and they have the elite legion of the Shenyi Army to join, not to mention our current 50,000 patchwork army, even if it is the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Gentian Battalion in its heyday, they may not be able to fight, they can only retreat, pass the order, and the whole army will maintain the marching speed and go to Qinling, leaving the 2,000 people of the third battalion to resist them." ”
Wei Qiu's voice trembled: "Your Highness, do you want to send the two thousand brothers of the third battalion to death?"
Lin Muyu nodded, but did not deny it.
Situ Sen stood aside in amazement, for so many years, Lin Muyu has indeed changed, becoming no longer so strong and intense, but also becoming more calm and steady, holding what he has abandoned, watching the fire, although he has changed, but he is more qualified to serve as the commander of the three armed forces, and only such people have the ability to turn the tide and turn things around.
Situ Xue saw Lin Muyu's clenched hand, the green tendons burst out, and her fingertips almost pierced herself, she couldn't help but feel slightly distressed, and said, "Your Highness, let my brother pass the order......
"Hmm. ”
Lin Muyu patted the head of the snow and said, "Continue to maintain the speed of the march, don't stop." ”
"Yes!"
......
At sunset, a wisp of 2,000 infantry armed with heavy shields and spears left the formation, and under the order of the battalion commander, they smashed their shields to the ground, spears pierced out from between the gaps in the shields, and a pair of eyes looked straight at the dense invading enemies in the distance, as if a steel parapet was formed in this empty field, but this steel parapet was flesh and blood.
