Chapter 93 Escape
Liu Bao smiled and said, "Of course, we can't talk about tricks, but there are still bad ideas!" In front of us, these prisoners are good things to break the enemy. How can Brother Luo let them not use them?
After midnight that night, there was no rest in the Xing Tianjun camp. Luo Li and Liu Bao personally led their troops, took the nearly 400 prisoners of war, leaked out of the camp at night, and went straight to the outside of the officer's army camp. These surrendered officers and soldiers opened their voices and shouted outside the officer's camp.
Originally, these officers and soldiers came from the Guide Mansion. Basically, it can be said that they are all villagers, and even some soldiers are related to each other. The surrendered officers and soldiers can almost call out the names of many people by name. They just call the names of their friends or relatives they know, shouting. Let them stop following Liu Ruming and waiting for those officials to do it again. I advise them to come out quickly to surrender to the good men of the Xing Tianjun, and the good men of Xing Tianjun do not fight or kill them. How good they are to them? If they are injured, they will treat their wounds. If they want to go home, they will be sent to be entangled to return home. In short, don't follow Xing Tianjun. For the enemy.
In the middle of the night, so many people shouted, and the sound could be heard far away. The shouting spread to all the corners of the army's battalion. Many officers and soldiers were sitting in the tents. The black lights were blind and their big eyes were standing up to listen to the shouts from outside the camp. From time to time, someone whispered, "It seems that someone is screaming. My name! That's right, it's called me!"
Gradually, there began to be ** in the army camp, and even some soldiers put their heads out of the camp tent and began to look around.
Liu Ruming and other generals heard the shouts outside the camp and the ** in the camp. Liu Ruming's heart was cold. He also knew that now he had offended the soldiers to the extreme because of discarding his soldiers during the day. Now the thieves have used such a method to deal with them, which is really a retribution. ! He was really uncertain about how to choose as a soldier, so he didn't dare to sleep that night. He sat in the army tent and sent down all his generals to make them take good care of their men and strengthen the pressure on the soldiers, so that nothing could happen.
And the generals under his command were also nervous to death one by one. They took their own family to patrol the camp, scolding and letting the soldiers go to bed. No one was allowed to pay the account. Otherwise, the military law would be engaged. For this reason, they really caught some soldiers who issued the account, and they cut them with a knife in public, and even did the normal night patrol work. They didn't dare to transfer ordinary soldiers out and directly put their respective family to the top. In this way, they suffered. It was cold at night. They were originally treated the best, but now they have to do this hard job, but if they don't do it, they have to do it. They have to curse and come out to patrol camp to prevent being attacked by the thief army. Even Liu Ruming also The family came out and watched the big account of the Chinese army for him to prepare for an accident.
The whole army battalion fell into a storm of wind and cranes, but the officers and soldiers who surrendered to the Xingtian Army outside the camp had a good life. Luo Li did not hesitate to take out dry meat and boiled broth for them, and carried it out so that they could eat and drink vigorously to keep out the cold. Therefore, these surrendered soldiers were also very energetic and shouted loudly in changing shifts. It was noisy all night.
When it was dawn, Liu Ruming finally did not show a camp roar in the camp, which finally relieved him. After coming out of the big account, he saw more than a dozen heads hanging at the Yuanmen. They were all the heads of the soldiers who were beheaded last night without authorization. They grinned blood. Swinging in the wind.
At this time, he also knew that he would not be able to stay in Yichuan County. If the thief army came again twice, he believed that the remaining three or four thousand soldiers would definitely scatter for him. At that time, it would be too late for him to run.
So at dawn, he immediately beat the drum and summoned the generals under his command to discuss and said his idea that he wanted to withdraw his troops and return to Defu. The generals did not agree. The tos and tos of this night made them all scared that they were afraid that they would rebel in the night of the army. Now Liu Ruming proposed to leave, of course they would be willing. So the generals immediately decided to withdraw their troops.
Before noon, Luo Li and Liu Bao heard the report that there was a movement in the officer's army battalion, so Luo Li and Liu Bao immediately went out of the camp and boarded on a mound on the north side of the officer's army's battalion. They looked condescendingly at the officer's battalion. Now both of them are also equipped with the monoculars sent to them by Xiao Tianjian. This is really good. When the enemy can't see them, they can clearly observe the enemy's movements.
Looking down from the mound, there was a busy scene in the army camp. The camp tents were withdrawn and began to be loaded with carts. The mules and horses were also pulled out and trapped on the cart. Many officers and soldiers were finally packing up the guys and began to line up in the camp.
"The officers and soldiers are going to run!" Luo Li put down his eyes and shouted immediately.
Liu Bao also put down the telescope and nodded, "Yes! The officers and soldiers want to run away!"
Without saying a word, Luo Li strode down the mound. As he walked, he said, "Give the order and prepare to leave the camp immediately!" Thinking of beauty, I just want to run under my nose! There is nothing so cheap in the world!"
Naturally, Liu Bao would not raise an objection, but also returned to the camp. Before long, the two battalions and the soldiers of the new battalion were all ready and only waited to go out to the camp to pursue.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the scouts to quickly report to Luo Li and Liu Bao and said, "The two generals, the officers and soldiers have begun to leave the camp and flee in the direction of Yichuan County. I don't know where they are going for the time being!"
Luo Li waved his hand and said, "Let's go! You can't let them run into Yichuan County! Drive them to bypass Yichuan County. Brother Liu, please block their way to the city from the left. I will lead my troops to chase them behind!"
Liu Bao immediately nodded and said, "Just follow Brother Luo's orders!"
After a while, Xing Tianjun also went out of the camp in two ways, rushed all the way to Yichuan County, and chased the officers and soldiers all the way.
Liu Ruming shouted and scolded the soldiers and made them leave quickly. He was very clear about the situation at present. It was impossible for them to hide such a big movement from the scouts of the thief army. Judging from the situation of the thief army, it is impossible to let them escape so easily. They will definitely send troops to chase them. Whether they can run away or not depends on this day. He can't run to the east bank of the Yihe River. If they can't cross the Yihe River before the thief army catches up with them, then his soldiers and horses will be over, so what he buys is time. At this time, he can't take care of so much. After hearing the news that the thief army has begun to chase them from the back of the palace, he went crazy. He urged the soldiers under him to speed up the speed, while ordering to throw away all the heavy and difficult-to-carry things, hoping that the thief army could grab these heavy and slow down the speed of their pursuit.
Luo Li led the army all the way and hurriedly, crossed the empty official army camp, and also saw the heads hanging at the gate of the official army's camp. Before long, he began to see some materials discarded by the officers and soldiers on the road.
Some soldiers of the Xingtian Army began to collect these materials along the way, and there were more and more materials discarded by the officers and soldiers, so that the speed of the march gradually began to slow down.
"If the order goes down, no one is allowed to pick up things on the roadside. Fang Erbao, you ordered the new camp to leave a company to collect these materials along the way, and the rest of the people will speed up with me to catch up! You can't let this group of officers and soldiers withdraw across the Yihe River! Hurry up!" Luo Li realized that it was not a way to do this, and immediately shouted loudly.
Fang Erbao was a company commander under Luo Li's former command. Now he has been transferred out as a battalion commander of the new battalion. Naturally, he obeyed Luo Li's orders and began to act according to the order. Xing Tian's soldiers and horses suddenly moved much faster. Even in order to speed up and catch up with the escaped officers and soldiers, Luo Li also ordered light equipment. Everything that is not needed is left behind and the soldiers of the new battalion behind can be collected. In this way, the soldiers will throw away what they don't need on the roadside and follow Luo Lichao with a big step forward.
Liu Bao was not idle. After leaving the camp, Liu Bao led his generals and immediately went straight to the direction of Yichuan County. They also rushed at the speed of the forced army. Finally, they rushed in front of the official residence, stopped Liu Ruming's road to Yichuan County, and turned and began to approach the direction of the army brigade. .
While urging his soldiers to escape all the way, Liu Ruming sent a sent a sentel to explore the movement of Xing Tianjun. When he heard that the people and horses of a sentry Xing Tianjun had stopped their way to Yichuan County, he ordered to turn around and go straight to the wooden bridge on the Yihe River. He could see from Xing Tianjun's actions. Xing Tianjun's action is much faster than his, and he has prevented him from leading his troops to withdraw into Yichuan County. If he doesn't retreat quickly across the Yihe River and retreat in the direction of Dengfeng, he is likely to be blocked and annihilated on the west bank of the Yihe River.
On the west bank of the Yihe River, a scene of you chasing me and running away was suddenly staged. The two battalions of criminal armies sandwiched a large group of officers and soldiers like pliers. Although the official army camp was less than ten miles away from Yihe, it was also the journey of ten miles, which determined the life and death of Liu Ruming's officers and soldiers.
After noon, when Liu Ruming was about to escape to the bank of the Yi River, the scouts of dozens of cavalry Tianjun first appeared on the wooden bridge on the Yi River.
The leader is Lin Luo, the captain of the second battalion of Luo Li's scouting team. He is young but has become the captain of the scouting team, which is equivalent to the company commander of the war barracks. If you don't forget him, I'm afraid you still remember that Lin Luo was a pawn under Li Zicheng's command. During the battle of Longzhou, he was injured by Xiao Tianjian. He brought back the Xingtian Army and has stayed in the Xingtian Army as a soldier since then. Now he has grown from a pawn to a general. Today, he is ordered to lead the scouts in front of the officers and soldiers to block the way of the officers and soldiers.
After the departure, Lin Luo led the scouts all the way to the front. Along the way, he had fought with the officers and soldiers several times, and defeated several officers and soldiers in a row. Finally, he rushed in front of the officers and soldiers' brigade and arrived at the wooden bridge across the Yihe River.
