Chapter 61: Follow all the way

However, it was said that there were only more than 50 sergeants left on Yang Shucheng's side, surrounded by hundreds of Jin soldiers, and his life was between breaths.

At this time, more than 1,000 people suddenly came from the side of Liaoyang City, rushing over the mountains and the sea, and its momentum was unstoppable.

Qiu Lin saw it and shouted: "There are rescuers, the Liaoyang soldiers are coming." ”

More than 1,000 people rushed over, and gradually ran closer, and sure enough, they were dressed as soldiers of the Ming Kingdom.

The Jin soldiers here saw that this army was coming like a mountain of seas, and they were also frightened, and hurriedly divided the troops into two routes, one with more than 200 people surrounding Yang Shucheng and others, so that none of them could escape, and the other nearly 200 soldiers rushed up the military pay car and fled towards the mountains to the west.

Qiu Lin and the others saw that the military salary was robbed, this matter was not trivial, but after this battle for their lives, the two of them were already exhausted, and they couldn't even move half a step. The remaining soldiers were also missing arms and legs, and could no longer fight.

Yang Shucheng rose up and used his tricks "Jingwei Reclamation" and "Pangu Open Heaven" to stab a few people to death with a single sword, but these people died, and more people poured in, just to prevent Yang Shucheng and others from breaking out of the encirclement.

Suddenly, there were piles of corpses all over the ground in front of Yang Shucheng, but the enemy soldiers were nearly 200 people, and they were surrounded by heavy pressure, but they couldn't rush out.

Looking again, the military pay cart had already been driven into the mountains to the west. Seeing this, Jin Guobing abandoned the people on Qiu Lin's side, rode a horse, and ran into the West Mountain like a whirlwind.

Although the people on Qiu Lin's side have been relieved of the siege and have no worries about their lives, the military salary car has long been gone.

They stood by the roadside, hoping that the army would come to this side as soon as possible.

The army rushed to the front like a tide, but it did not pay attention to these people, and ran straight south, and did not take back the salary.

Qiu Lin was in a hurry.

Yang Shucheng caught up with him, grabbed a running soldier, and shouted, "Don't go and get back the military salary." ”

The soldier was running, and was grabbed by Yang Shucheng, unable to get rid of it, and shouted, "What are you holding me for?" Don't run yet! ”

"Running for something?"

"Liaoning City has been breached, and Jin Guobing is about to chase and kill. You don't run yet. The soldier broke free and ran faster than a rabbit.

At this time, a general was riding on a horse and running towards the south, and Qiu Lin saw it, ran forward to intercept it, and shouted, "General, general, wait a minute, wait a minute." ”

When the general saw that someone was coming to intercept him, he raised his iron gun and stabbed at Qiu Lin, who dodged away, and the general rode his horse and fled south like a whirlwind.

Qiu Lin also counted on this group of sergeants to help him get back his salary, but he knew that it was a defeated soldier, and no one came to take care of him, so he had no hope, so he sat on the ground and cried.

Yang Shucheng came to persuade him, Qiu Lin cried: "I spent five thousand silver taels, worked hard to get a general, and I was careful along the way, so I was able to get to the frontier and make war achievements." I don't know that the military salary was lost, and my death was a small matter, which affected my parents and wives at home. ”

Yang Shucheng comforted him and said: "It's a big deal, we took advantage of the carelessness of the Jin soldiers and snatched the military salary back." ”

That Qiu Lin is also a resolute person, and when he heard this, he stood up and said, "I swear to die to recapture my Ming military salary." Yang Shaoxia, Brother Yang, are you willing to help me? ”

"I'm with you." Yang Shucheng said firmly.

At this time, the more than 1,000 defeated soldiers fled cleanly. More than forty soldiers on his side supported each other and came to Qiu Lin's side. Qiu Lin froze for a moment and said to everyone: "Brothers, it is a capital crime to lose the military salary, now we go to chase the military salary back, even if we don't catch up and die in the country, it won't cause trouble to the family, how are you?" ”

"Okay, let's follow the general."

Qiu Lin saw that everyone was angry, he immediately calmed down and ordered: "I will go with Yang Shaoxia to chase the military salary, make a mark along the road, and you will follow the mark." ”

Yang Shucheng and the two ran towards the mountains to the west, and there were indeed car tracks along the road. Follow the trail into the mountains.

After following for four or five miles, the car trail came north. The two made marks along the way and chased north.

Chased more than two miles. The car trail was suddenly gone.

Qiu Lin squatted there, looked at the ground and thought deeply, he had been reading since he was a child, he loved to read "Three Kingdoms", and he was also very smart in his life, thinking about the domestic and foreign troubles of the Ming Dynasty, so he decided to learn martial arts.

He thought for a while, and immediately understood, so he said to Yang Shucheng: "These Jin soldiers, who have grabbed military salaries, have been walking north, and they are about to arrive in Liaoning City, and Liaoning City has just been breached, what else do they have to worry about?" Now there are suddenly no rut marks, and the matter is suspicious. ”

Yang Shucheng also felt strange and said, "Are you still afraid that we will chase after us?" ”

"No, it won't." Qiu Lin stood up, took a few steps back and forth, and said, "There is only one possibility, they went south. ”

"Why is that?" Yang Shucheng asked.

Qiu Lin was vaguely worried, but he couldn't be sure, so he couldn't say it, but said, "I feel like I can only go south." ”

"Let's chase it."

"Nope." Qiu Lin analyzed, "They don't have rut marks here. There must be an ambush around here. We managed to get around. ”

Yang Shucheng thought that Qiu Lin was also a general, he was panicked at first, but now he is very calm and composed, but unfortunately he was at the wrong time and lost his military salary, he is really jealous of talent.

Qiu Lin said: "Since we know that they are heading south, we will retreat along the road to the southeast, and then chase them to the southwest, it is possible to catch up with them." ”

"Okay."

The two of them made a mark, and first ran southeast for a while, avoiding the ambush area, and Jier turned to the southwest, ran four or five miles away, and sure enough, found rut marks in a ravine.

Qiu Lin became more and more worried, could it really be as he thought, he shook his head, trying to control himself from thinking in this direction.

The two of them followed the rut mark all the way to the south. Finally, before dark, I saw the military pay vehicles, one after the other, as many as twenty-five, and not a lot of them, quietly and neatly placed there.

The two hid in the deep grass, and Yang Shucheng asked, "General Qiu, this is not right, why did you run to the south." ”

Qiu Lin sighed, and finally said his thoughts: "I expected it for a long time, but I didn't dare to think about it. It was robbed by our own people. ”

"This military salary is related to the hearts and minds of the army, and how much does it have to do with robbing military salaries?"

Qiu Lin said: "You and I are both scholars, do you remember that the pearl thieves are punished, and the country thieves are marquis, they do everything that harms the country and the people for their own greed." ”

"It's really hateful, is it true that Da Ming is dead, what good is it for him." Yang Shucheng hated and said.

Qiu Lin sighed and didn't speak for a long time. Yang Shucheng said: "These traitors, we rushed up and killed a few of them, even if they die, we will relieve our hatred." ”

Qiu Lin said: "If we rush forward, a few more people will die, and it will not help." ”

"Then we can only wait until it gets dark, go forward, mix and kill, and take advantage of the chaos to get back the military salary."

"That's the only way to do it."

The two of them hid behind the grass, and the sky gradually darkened, and more than forty soldiers behind followed the mark, and they also quietly followed. followed the two of them to hide in the deep grass, only to rush forward in the middle of the night.

Who knew that this night, these nearly 500 sergeants were on duty in rotation, without slackness, and there was no chance at all.

The next day, the team continued to move south, and Qiu Lin and his men continued to follow behind, looking for an opportunity to regain their salaries. This army was on high alert day and night, and wherever there was a chance to regain the salary, it had to follow all the way.

I have been walking for more than ten days, and I can see the winding Great Wall, this group of soldiers walked under the Great Wall, the Great Wall is majestic and majestic, standing on the top of the lofty mountains, defending the land of the Ming Dynasty, it is really solid.

These nearly 500 people came to the Great Wall with military salaries, sounded the agreed horn, and soon the Ming soldiers appeared on the battlements of the Great Wall.

The inside and outside had already been agreed, and the rope was pulled down from above, and the military pay car was pulled up first.

The soldiers asked several times to come forward to regain their salaries, but Qiu Lin always refused to agree, and asked everyone to stay still.

Seeing that all the military pay carts were pulled up the city wall, and then more than 400 sergeants were pulled up. Qiu Lin kept watching, and never ordered the soldiers to rush forward.

There was no one on the city wall, and Qiu Lin said to more than forty of his subordinates: "Rushing up is also in vain, and I will find a way to regain the military salary." ”

Qiu Lin said to Yang Shucheng: "I expected that Wu Xiang would do this. ”

Qiu Lin analyzed: "This Wu Xiang is not simple, he fled from the enemy outside the pass, and the whole army was annihilated, he was arrested by the emperor and put in prison, and he should be beheaded for the crime." Who knew that he took the road of Cao Fengying, and he was released, without any crime, and became a minister of the country's pillar, and became such an important Shanhaiguan general soldier. You can imagine how amazing this man is!"

Qiu Lin continued: "Yang Shaoxia took care of his Wu Sangui's affairs in Fuping County, he didn't pursue it, and let us pass the Shanhaiguan smoothly. It's just that I am familiar with military books, but I still fell into the hands of the Wu family's father and son. ”

Yang Shucheng said: "Who would have thought that his father and son would be crazy and would do such a thing." ”

Qiu Lin looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "I hate that this military salary has fallen into the hands of this traitor, I am really unwilling." ”

Yang Shucheng said: "It's too early to say defeat, let's go into the pass and then reason with him." ”

"Good. Let's go. ”

Qiu Lin immediately led these more than 40 soldiers along the Great Wall, over the mountains and mountains, towards the east, walked for a day or two, and soon came to the front of Shanhaiguan.

Qiu Lin and the others ran to the front of the pass, and it had been almost 20 days, and more than 1,000 defeated and escaped soldiers from Liaoning City were still blocked outside the Shanhai Pass. The city wall is lined with soldiers, waiting with their bows outstretched.

"Hurry up and let us in."

"Jin Bing called."

"Please, let us in."

Perhaps the shouts of these soldiers finally touched the heart of Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and the city gate slowly opened, and more than a thousand soldiers rushed towards the city like a tidal wave.

More than forty soldiers on Qiu Lin's side also rushed in with the torrent.

Qiu Lin and Yang Shucheng also mixed in the flow of people and rushed forward. Suddenly, Qiu Lin pulled Yang Shucheng and shouted:

"Wait!"
