"Report, the rebels in Xuchang City tend to flee to Xinji overnight!"

Ye BuShou entered the king's account to report the military situation.

It was still early at this moment, and all the generals sitting in Wang's tent were discussing the strategy of attacking Xuchang.

Li Chengmu listened to the report of Yebu Accept, with a hint of sneer on his face, looked at the people in the tent and said: "The rebels from ancient times to the present are really in the same line, they all fled without fighting. Run away with your tail between your legs!"

Just like a cockroach that can't be killed, it doesn't know where it will hide when it flees, and it will start to make waves when it becomes stronger!
Long Yutian nodded after hearing this, then looked at Ye Bushou, and asked, "What did you see, inferring that they have a tendency to flee to Xinji?"

Everyone present turned their heads to look at Ye Bushou.

They didn't ask, Ye Bushou also wanted to say: "The rebels in Xuchang opened the south city gate after nightfall, and a lot of luggage was transported out of the city. I think this is the logistics team for the rebels to abscond. And there are soldiers and horses from Jingzhou There was no movement at the west gate where they were stationed, and everything was defending normally. Obviously, the rebels deliberately confuse the Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and they don’t want the Jingzhou soldiers and horses to find out that they are escaping tonight.”

"They want to sneak away without anyone noticing." Li Chengmu turned his head to look at Long Yutian, then glanced at everyone, and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Long Yutian sneered: "Since they voluntarily gave up Xuchang, the city that protects them, we must not disappoint their kindness no matter what, and we must give them a good meal and leave them an unforgettable memory!"

Li Chengmu was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "What do you say? What good idea did you think of?"

Feng Tu thought about the surrounding terrain in his mind, and asked the doubts in his heart: "Supervisor, we are far away from the post road to Xinji, even if we march quickly now, it will be difficult to catch up with the rebels! Not to mention Stop them!"

Sha Yuliang looked at Long Yutian thoughtfully and said, "It's not that we can't catch up with them, but if we send our cavalry, we can catch up with them."

Long Yutian waved his hand and said with a smile: "The number of cavalry in our team is a bit small. It is a bit risky to send out a single mission in Yuzhou. My idea is to pursue it with the whole army."

Hearing what he said, Ding Dazhuang smiled: "The supervising army's words are inappropriate. There is a little distance between us and the post road to Xinji. The longer the delay, the longer the distance will be. If our whole army pursues, Even if the whole army has four legs, they can't catch up!"

Li Chengmu signaled everyone to keep silent, "Everyone, please be patient and listen patiently to what the superintendent has to say."

Long Yutian glanced at everyone: "If you follow the normal path, you will definitely not be able to catch up. What if there is a shortcut?"

"Shortcut?" Ding Dazhuang looked at him in astonishment: "The supervisor is not joking? You are very familiar with the terrain of Yingchuan, have you been here before?"

Long Yutian took out the map of Yingchuan, pointed to the mountain range between them and the post road to Xinji, and said, "Come and have a look, everyone. From the map, this mountain range is steep and difficult to walk, but you know Well, the mountain people who live in the mountains know the topography of the mountains best.”

As he said that, he looked at everyone and smiled complacently: "Thanks to God's love, I learned from an old mountain dweller that there is a small road in the mountain that can directly cross the mountain and reach the post road on the other side of the mountain."

"Is this news credible?" Li Chengmu asked.

"We'll know if the news is true. Anyway, Xuchang is an empty city, and Jingzhou soldiers and horses have already arrived there. We went there just to join in the fun. Instead of wasting our feet like this, we might as well go halfway. , unexpectedly killed them halfway and caught them off guard!" The more Long Yutian talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more he felt that this idea was good.

Hearing this, everyone can understand it. This strategy was thought up by the supervising army temporarily.

Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, but this idea is very good. Instead of running to the empty city of Xuchang, it would be more exciting to run after the rebels!

Without further ado, the whole army pursues!
Soon the team entered the mountain with torches. Although the dirt road in the mountain is not easy to walk, but it can shorten the distance, everyone is willing to give it a try. It doesn’t matter if the road is difficult!
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, even if the trees on the mountain are lush, one hundred thousand feet can level the ground. Moreover, after three years of severe drought, the trees on the mountain are not very luxuriant, they are all sparse, which is very convenient for people to walk in the mountain. .

The most gratifying thing for everyone is that there is a gully seven or eight feet wide across the mountain, and they just need to go along the gully.

Long Yutian looked at the deep and dark ravine in front of him, raised his head and laughed loudly: "The mountains and seas are separated by the love, and the mountains and seas cannot be leveled; only after practicing it will I know that there are boats to cross the sea and roads to the mountains!"

If they don't pursue with the whole army tonight and enter the mountain, how can they know that there are mountain roads that are feasible and not insurmountable! ——
When the whole army escaped from Xuchang City, Yuan Shixin stopped and looked back. The night was hazy, and the outline of Xuchang City could no longer be seen clearly.

Lieutenant General Hong Xing'an also stopped, turned his horse's head to look in the direction of Xu Chang, and said, "Yuan Mingxian is still too young. The fledglings can't wait to grow up and want to lead the army to fight. They have neither experience nor strategy."

If he is a steady and experienced general tonight, he will definitely think that they will escape and lay an ambush on the way, so as to wipe them out in one fell swoop!
But these fledglings didn't think about this problem at all, maybe they did, but for some reason they didn't want to make it so complicated.

Yuan Shixin's eyes flashed, and he said: "The Lingnan soldiers and horses who have not arrived in Xuchang don't want to catch up with us, but the Jingzhou soldiers and horses in Xuchang did not expect that we would escape under their noses. I just don't know that they will find out tomorrow. How would you feel if Xuchang City was empty?"

Will you feel annoyed and want to go back in time?
"Haha." Hong Xing'an laughed heartily, and said after laughing: "At the beginning, the two groups of soldiers came aggressively, and I was really shocked at that time. I just didn't expect that we would break the predicament they created so easily."

What a raging army, a raging nest!
One general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies to death.

After tonight, starting tomorrow, they are safe again.

In the middle of the night, the rebels did not dare to sleep and insisted on continuing their journey.They only hope that the farther away from Xuchang the better, when he arrives in Xinji, he still has to hurry, it is best to join up with the general's troops, so as not to let Jingzhou and Lingnan's troops keep advancing!
"General, go around this mountain, and on the other side of the mountain, we can see Xinji County."

After driving for several hours, Yuan Shixin noticed that the soldiers and horses were exhausted, and it was very necessary to take a rest in place at this time.

So he ordered: "Since it's not far from Xinji County, let everyone stop and take a rest, and then go on the road after resting!"

During the rest period, Tan Ma let out and went to the front to explore the way first.After they rested and everyone had a full stomach, Tan Ma also came back.

After exploring the horses, no abnormalities were found in the road ahead, and everyone can move forward with peace of mind.

After eating and drinking enough, the team began to be lazy, and more people wanted to rest in place until dawn, and then set off after dawn.

Yuan Shixin sent his personal guards to urge them, but the speed of the team was still very slow, and they didn't want to continue on their way.

"Bang! Clap!"

A firework soars into the sky and explodes in the air. The fireworks are gorgeous, illuminating the world in the dark night.

As the fireworks exploded, before the sparks completely disappeared, the sound of killing came from the mountain in the resting place.

People shouted and horses neighed, and the team was huge.

Yuan Shixin's mind went blank, and after a moment of effort, he came to his senses and immediately shouted: "Everyone adjust the team and prepare to meet the enemy!"

He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, but the entire rebel team lost its organizational structure, and what's more, his legs were weak and his hands were weak from fright, and he couldn't even crawl to a place to hide.

It was dark and it was hard to see how many enemies rushed down from the mountain, but from the shouts of killing and the sound of horseshoes, it could be heard that there were many imperial soldiers and horses.

When the two armies met, the court soldiers and horses were crowded with a large number of people, but the rebels first looked at their momentum, and he was weaker than the other side.

When meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. Although Yuan Shixin doesn't know how many imperial soldiers and horses are coming, since he has already met, he might as well fight to the death.

And whether his will will be imposed on all the rebels, in the face of life and death, many people will not obey orders, but instinctively survive, and run away!
The fine traditions of the rebels have not been forgotten, and have been carried forward.

"Don't run back! Adjust the direction, pick up the knives in your hands, and fight the enemy bravely. If you are attacked today, you will die or I will die. If you run away, you will die faster!"

"Don't run, meet the enemy!"

Yuan Shixin wanted to cry when he saw the disbanded team!
What kind of qualities are these soldiers, and they are all at this level. How did they stand in troubled times for so long?How come he was suppressed when he appeared on the stage?

How could the soldiers of the rebel army listen to your general's orders when life and death are at stake.

To let them meet the enemy, first of all, they must be well equipped, otherwise no one will be willing to let them serve as human shields!

You didn’t see the ordnance of these rebels. They were all kinds of weapons, such as hatchets, sickles, shovels, and hammers. The most outrageous thing was that someone carried a dung spoon for watering vegetables!
But those who hold these kinds of weapons are the people inside or outside the city of Xuchang. Food, they can only follow this team.

Otherwise, what awaits them is starvation to death!
On the other side of the Lingnan soldiers and horses, they were well-equipped, and with one cut, the weapons in the hands of the rebels were cut in two.

With such a sharp weapon, how dare the rebels dare to face it head-on. I wish my parents would give me two more legs and run faster.

"According to the prince's order, those who kneel down and surrender will not die. If you don't think about your family and insist on fighting us, you will be killed!"

"Don't be a thief with Tan Lang. Isn't it good to be a good person? You have to be a thief with the leader of the thief. Do you want to see your ancestors who have no face in a hundred years?"

The Lingnan cavalry ran around, scattered around, and yelled at the rebel team!

If you have money or not, just be a person with few things!

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shixin felt his teeth itch with hatred, and really wanted to rush up and chop them with a knife.

Hong Xing'an also saw it, and he bowed his head and cursed inwardly!

He turned his head and asked Yuan Shixin for the last time: "Are you going? Are you going to die here?"

Yuan Shixin ignored him, but said to his own guards: "Go, kill those who shouted at us over there, they are too noisy!"

Hearing this, the guards around him didn't dare to disobey the order, so they rode out and rushed towards the court soldiers who shouted to them.

The imperial soldiers were not afraid of these rebels because of their large numbers.

Seeing these ferocious officers and soldiers, many rebels surrendered directly and let the officers and soldiers take them into custody.

Hong Xing'an scolded his mother in his heart, what are these things, he turned his horse's head and led a group of brothers to rush out together.

They have to escape, or else their heads will be lost!
Yuan Shixin watched his lieutenant general run away, and he wanted to run away too, but at the beginning he wanted to leave, but now he couldn't if he wanted to, and he had already missed the best opportunity.

"Archers, gunners, prepare! Come back to me, and form a team to fight against the enemy!"

As the arrow feathers and bullets attacked Lingnan soldiers and horses, only the sound of ding ding ding was heard.After the noise, the Lingnan soldiers and horses were not damaged, which shows how excellent the ordnance made by the iron workshop is.

The Lingnan archers squatted down, picked up a few arrows and shot them back into the rebel army without giving the enemy a chance to react!

"what"

The reaction of the rebels and the soldiers and horses of the Lingnan court was exactly the opposite. The rebels were shot and had no power to fight back.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Disarm and don't kill! Anyone who resists will be killed!"

A few words of killing were shouted out, full of murderous intent, and another group of rebels squatted down in fright, threw their weapons on the ground, and surrendered with their heads in their hands!

Hong Xing'an, who had already escaped from the periphery, heard the murderous shouts behind him, and looked back. It didn't matter, and he almost fell off his horse in fright.

The imperial soldiers and horses behind had already discovered that he had escaped, and a part of the cavalry chased after him. The sound of the rumbling horse's hooves was like a talisman, as if it had stepped on the tip of his heart, scaring him to look pale like a dead man!
"Damn it! Drive!" He pumped his horse's butt a few times, and flew up!

"Bah ah!"

It was a terrible rhythm. The court soldiers and horses who were chasing after him not only rode to chase, but also fired a gun from time to time on the horse's back.

Hong Xing'an watched the brothers who followed him fall down one by one, and his expression became more and more serious!
"Damn it, how do we fight this battle?"

"Lieutenant General Hong, what should we do? These are like dog skin plasters, and their weapons seem to be very powerful. Should we also surrender?"

"Lieutenant General Hong, let's surrender!"

If there is one, there will be two. Everyone saw the brothers who ran slower beside them fall one by one, and the other elders were panicked. They were afraid that they would fall off the horse and die like the brothers who died later.

Can live who wants to die?
"Lieutenant Hong!"

Someone couldn't bear his hesitation, stopped the horse and raised his hands in surrender.

Hong Xingan: "You"

When the rebels behind saw each other, everyone followed suit and raised their hands.

Seeing this scene, Hong Xing'an gritted his teeth, his eyes almost burst into flames!
Regardless of what he thought in his heart, the other rebels followed the example of those who surrendered.

"We surrender, don't shoot!"

"Keep people under the gun, we surrender!"
