After sending the poor old man back, he continued on his way. At this time, the night was very dark, and the road could not be seen clearly, and the old people and children in the ranks walked with great difficulty, and the pain was unspeakable. But fortunately, the morale is very high, after all, he has come out of a desperate situation. Everyone is happy, even if they are too tired to walk, they have no complaints, and they will sit on the side of the road and rest before leaving.

Suddenly, the sound of hooves was heard, and the two horses galloped straight over. When Chen Shu looked up, Xiao Zhonghui Pegasus came over in the firelight, and his face was flushed with joy. The horse galloped to his side, jumped down, and said happily: "Ah Shu, we really escaped!"

She was really overjoyed, and the hidden worry between her eyebrows in the past few days was swept away, her face was radiant, and her eyebrows were shining. Huang Rong smiled: "Sister Hui, you are so beautiful." ”

Xiao Zhonghui took her hand and said with a smile: "How can it compare to our Rong'er's flower and moon appearance, Ashu said, don't you?"

A few people walked while talking and laughing, and Xiao Zhonghui left a horse for the old man on Chen Shu's back, and rode back again. After all, she is now the leader of this rebel army, and she can't be with Chen Shu all the time, just now she was just happy and came to him to say a few words.

Chen Shu stayed behind the rear hall of the line, looking back from time to time to see if there were any pursuers. Everyone said that if there were chasing soldiers, they would have chased them a long time ago, and now it was almost early in the morning, where would there be, but they had to worry about the daytime.

Chen Shuyao pointed out: "According to the villagers who asked before, as long as you enter the Wulong Mountain over there, and then there is the Taihang Mountain with high mountains and deep waters, the Qing army will no longer be able to take us. ”

After walking for a long time, the terrain suddenly turned, and entered a winding ravine, full of stones, and it was extremely inconvenient to walk. A gurgling spring flowed down from the ditch, and many people took the spring water to drink.

Chen Shu stood on top of a large rock, looking at the dawn that appeared in the sky. Suddenly, Ge Zonghan hurriedly rushed over from the front, and his usually gloomy face was quite panicked at this time. Suddenly he knew that something was going on, and hurriedly jumped down and pulled him aside.

Ge Zonghan glanced around. He lowered his voice and said, "Chen Gongzi, there is a large group of Qing troops blocking the road in front!"

Chen Shu looked at him in disbelief as if he had been thundered in his heart.

Ge Zonghan's face was full of bitterness, and he said, "It's true. It's the Qing army, and it's already discovered us, and it's blocking the exit of this ditch. ”

Chen Shu's heart suddenly sank, encountering the Qing army in this situation was like a nightmare. The rebel army had been gone for half the night. It can be said that people are sleepy and tired. And the following Ferrodo may catch up at any time, in this case, it is simply desperate.

He thought for a moment and asked, "How many are there?"

Ge Zonghan said: "According to the report of the spies, there are at least a thousand people!"

Chen Shu immediately made a decision and said, "You go and tell Uncle Geng and Huihui to retreat immediately, and let's find another way!"

Ge Zonghan was about to go back, but Chen Shu suddenly said again: "Forget it, you don't have to go." ”

Ge Zonghan was stunned. Then it doesn't need to be explained, and it is understood. An equally frightened sentry hurried from behind and shouted, "Oh no, the Qing army has caught up!"

This person is not as delicate as Ge Zonghan, his voice is very loud, everyone can hear it clearly, and it suddenly became a sensation.

Chen Shu called the man over and asked, "How far are they from here, and how long will they have to walk?"

The man said: "The hundreds of cavalry in front of you are traveling very fast. I'm afraid that I will be able to arrive before the tea time. As for the army behind, it may take some time, but it will take an hour or two at most. ”

Chen Shu pondered for a moment, and saw that everyone was surrounding him with a shocked face. And these people didn't know that there was also a Qing army in front of them, only Ge Zonghan had a look of despair.

Chen Shu looked around at everyone one by one and said, "Don't be afraid, this ditch is full of stones, and the cavalry will not dare to come in." Brother Zuo, Second Brother Zuo, now. You two are going to stay here and build some fortifications out of the stone and terrain here. Zhang Zongliang, take your people and follow me to the front. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Zuo Mingfang exclaimed: "Could it be that there is ...... ahead?"

Chen Shu nodded and said solemnly: "Freedom is extremely precious, and it will never be so easy to get. Without a hard fight, God will not hand it over to us. I promise you that I will defeat the Qing army in front of me within an hour, and then come back to meet you. ”

Seeing that his expression was calm, everyone was a little relieved. Zuo Mingfang said: "Please rest assured that Chen Daxia, we will definitely stick to this place and never let a Tartar pass." ”

Chen Shu nodded, and took Zhang Zongliang's battalion, as well as Li Guangjiu, Jiang Hongying and others to the front.

His face was silent, but his heart was sinking, this front and back attack, one is not good, it is the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

It was not surprising that Ferrodo could quickly find out and lead his army to chase after him, and he had expected it beforehand. It's just that there are too many young and old in this rebel army, and the marching speed is too slow, which is a helpless thing. But if the Qing army did not block the road, with this steep road in the mountains, the pursuers were not afraid, as long as they could escape into the Taihang Mountains, the Qing army would no longer be able to take them.

The question is, where did this Qing army come from? Could it be that their own plans were leaked? No, this is impossible. Although the plan was set by him, the route into the mountain was determined by Xiao Zhonghui and Geng Shanyun, and only the three of them knew.

Chen Shu sighed in his heart, on the battlefield, intelligence is the most important. The rebels have been trapped in the mountains for so long, and the intelligence around them is completely unknown. He also knew about these three camps through Mingzhu before he came, and he didn't know where the Qing army blocking the road came from at all.

In the future, we must establish a huge and sophisticated intelligence network, and this thing is no less important in this era than an elite army.

He rushed to the front, only to see Xiao Zhonghui standing under a stone wall, his face was bitter, and the joy just now seemed to have never appeared.

Chen Shu felt a slight pain in his heart, strode over, held her hands, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, leave it to me." ”

Waving his hand, he called Ge Zonghan and Fang Xinlan over, and said in a deep voice: "The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and now there are enemies on both sides, and the only way to survive is to defeat the Qing army in front." Time is urgent, I won't say much, I haven't worked hard until now, just wait for the Qing army to slaughter it. ”

Fang Xinlan raised her double knives and raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Brother is very right, the old lady is thinking about going to have a big fight with these clear dogs!"

Chen Shu said to Xiao Zhonghui: "Huihui, you go to the back and watch, I'm afraid that the Zuo brothers won't be able to cope with it." ”

Xiao Zhonghui wanted to stay by his side and fight side by side, but he also knew that the overall situation was important, so he had to say: "Ah Shu, be careful yourself, you must protect yourself." ”

When the team was assembled, Chen Shu looked at the four or five hundred tired and frightened rebels, and wanted to say a few words to boost their morale, but a feeling of powerlessness swelled up. What else can I talk about now? The knives are all on the neck, and those who dare to fight hard will naturally fight hard, and it is useless for you to say anything if you are willing to die.

He just pointed to the group of black-pressed family members and children behind, pulled out the bloody knife, and shouted: "Rush with me!"

The only way to defeat this wave of Qing troops head-on is to rush straight in and kill its commander.

Chen Shu surged with a strong fighting spirit, and this time he did his best to bring the righteous army out of the siege of the Qing army. However, he fell into another dilemma, although he was not to blame for this outstanding situation, but as a decision-maker and de facto manager, he had a strong sense of responsibility in his heart, since he had done it, he had to have a beginning and an end, this was his creed, this was his responsibility! For the sake of these many lives, there is only victory, and there must be no defeat.

However, what can comfort him is that Li Guangjiu and Jiang Hongying, a group of brothers who came together, have always followed him firmly. The pretty and lovely little Rong'er has always walked side by side with him and never abandoned.

Let's fight!(To be continued.) )
