Chapter 69: Chasing the Dead and Chasing the North
Murong Ling and Zhu Yaoshi led 600 cavalry to Fanyang City, defeated the 3,000 men and horses left by Pajaqili, and rescued thousands of people who had not had time to be kidnapped. Since the Liang soldiers were exhausted, they chased for a while.
, most of the three thousand troops were able to escape.
Murong Ling only liked fighting and fighting, so he left the affairs of the city to Zhu Yaoshi. While Zhu Yaoshi settled the rescued people, he strengthened the city defense to prevent the enemy from returning to attack. Zhu Yaoshi's grandfather and father had practiced medicine in Fanyang City for many years, and there were many people in the city.
Many people recognized Pharmacist Zhu.
"Medicine Master, I haven't seen you for many years, but you have already become a general? My son and daughter are still in the hands of the Fire Dragons. Can you send troops to rescue them?"
"Pharmacist, your aunt has been taken away, and your uncle has also been taken away."
"Yakushi, your good brother Zhuzi was also captured by them."
"Pharmacist, I am your neighbor. I am the only one left in my family."
Zhu Yaoshi was surrounded by many people, all asking for his help in rescuing people. The 600 cavalrymen he brought with him also fell asleep against the wall. After thinking about it, Zhu Yaoshi thought that he didn't have the strength to save people now.
It doesn't make sense, they are all from the countryside.
At this time, Murong Ling came over and asked everyone: "Can you ride a horse?"
Many people in the crowd responded: "I can, I served in General Hu's army."
"When I hunt, I rely on riding horses to chase my prey, but the horses are all taken away by the fire dragons."
"Although I am old, I can still ride a horse!"
Pharmacist Zhu immediately realized what Murong Ling wanted to do. As long as Murong Ling and himself took the lead and led these people to catch up, they could still save some people, and there were many war horses scattered outside the city before they had time to collect them.
The pharmacist drew his sword and pointed it toward the sky: "Fellow fellow villagers, take our weapons and follow General Murong and me to save our relatives. Do you dare?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jun began to take off his armor. The people who had just been rescued put on their armor, picked up their big axes and long knives, and went out of the city to look for horses. When they left the city, more than a hundred people followed them, but they didn't get the armor and
The man with the weapon, Zhu Yaoshi, turned around and said, "Folks, it's enough for us to have 600 people go up. You just need to stay and take care of the others, guard the city gate, and wait for Master Li's army to arrive."
Zhu Yaoshi and Murong Ling got on their horses and chased north with 600 people. It only took them a day and a night to catch up with the Black Flag Khanate. At first glance, the team could not see the end. In front of them was a convoy full of goods.
, in the middle were the common people whose hands were tied one by one, and at the end were thousands of cavalry pressing down the formation.
Zhu Yaoshi and everyone hesitated, but Murong Ling rushed forward immediately. When Zhu Yaoshi saw Murong Ling rushing forward, he risked his life and followed him, but the others kept some distance away from him. But when he saw Murong Ling rushing forward,
Entering the cavalry formation of the Black Banner Khanate, he slashed left and stabbed right, and unexpectedly killed the convoy from thousands of people. Zhu Yaoshi followed closely with his sword, and the cavalry of the Black Banner Khanate retreated one after another. The 600 people who followed him saw it.
This formation also rushed forward. The cavalry of the Black Banner Khanate had just been beaten to pieces by Murong Ling, and hundreds of people suddenly poured out from behind, so they started galloping forward.
Murong Ling grabbed a spear and threw it at the leading general, hitting him in the back and knocking him off his horse. The Black Flag Khanate's army immediately fell into chaos and just ran for their lives. However, there were also hundreds of cavalrymen who were reluctant to part with their belongings on the car.
, actually rode his horse to escort the convoy. After all, the six hundred people who came from Fan Yang were common people, and they were at a disadvantage when they fought with the Black Banner Khanate cavalry. Murong Ling had to turn his horse and rush over to kill these hundreds of cavalry, but soon
Soon there were soldiers from the Black Flag Khanate rushing towards the convoy.
Seeing that fighting hard was not the solution, Zhu Yaoshi had to shout: "I don't want the car anymore, let them go, save the people first."
Several hundred people turned back to save the tens of thousands of people who fell to the ground. Because the ropes were connected, there was a fight from behind. Everyone panicked and ran in different directions, so most of them fell to the ground. The cavalry of the Black Flag Khanate saw the convoy.
After being saved, he abandoned the captive people and continued to move forward while protecting the convoy.
Pajaqili learned that the rear army was being pursued by Liang Jun, so he personally led the guards to come to the rescue. When he saw that the convoy was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But he said that the three thousand people sent by Chen Hongyi had traveled day and night to camp at Dushikou. They had even built a wooden fence to block the cavalry. These three thousand people were led by Chen Hongyi's servant Chen Kuan. Chen Kuan saw the wooden fence and the wooden fence.
Zha Juma blocked the road to the north of Dushikou, and then demolished it for more than ten feet, leaving a gap. Everyone was puzzled, and Chen Kuan pointed at the gap: "If we block the road, the enemy will inevitably die in order to survive."
Fight with all our strength to seize the road, or turn the horse's head south again. We have to leave a way for them to survive. If there is a gap, once they are ambushed, they will all rush through this gap. At that time, we will just shoot arrows, and what we have obtained
The merits of war are no less than those obtained by hard work. We, these three thousand brothers, can survive as long as possible. We are here to set up an ambush, not to annihilate tens of thousands of them. We will pour as much rice as there is in the pot."
Everyone had to obey this loyal general who was born as a servant. No wonder Chen Hongyi always won the battle. Every servant in his family knew how to fight. Three thousand men and horses waited for six days, and tens of thousands of simple wooden arrows were made before they encountered the Black Flag Khanate.
of the former army.
When the Black Banner Khanate's front army passed by, two thousand Liang Army cavalry rushed out from the left and right and dispersed them. Seeing that the intersection was not far ahead, the front army general Zhawutihu rushed forward. Liang Army's ambush of a thousand
The people fired arrows together and shot Zawuti Huhu into a hedgehog. The former military commander of the Black Flag Khanate was killed, and Liang Jun drove them towards the intersection from behind. At first, the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate fought to the death and refused to retreat to the intersection.
, but when a few timid men rushed over and no one fired arrows, the soldiers of the Black Flag Khanate's former army ran towards the intersection one after another. When nearly half of the troops had passed, the ambush Liang Jun started firing arrows again, and the arrows fell from their horses.
There were countless people. Those who had already run over saw that the people behind were ambushed. Instead of coming to rescue, they ran all the way north.
Liang Jun cleaned up the battlefield and waited for Pajaqili to come with the Chinese army to die. Pajaqili was guarding the convoy in the rear army, but did not return to the Chinese army, so he lost his life.
When the left captain Ugo Tuli and the right captain Ju Wuzhi led the Chinese army to Dushikou, it was two days later. Ju Wuzhi saw a lot of crows circling over the intersection and thought something was wrong.
He asked the Chinese army to stop and check. Chen Kuan could see clearly in the bushes beside the low wall, and immediately asked the crossbowman to shoot an arrow at Ju Wuzhi. Ju Wuzhi fell off his horse, and Ugo suddenly turned back.
As he ran, Liang Jun's two thousand cavalry rushed up again and attacked Ugo Tuli. Ugo Tuli was unable to evade and was killed by Liang Jun on the spot.
However, Ju Wuzhi was rescued by both sides. Ju Wuzhi knew that he had been ambushed and would suffer heavy losses if he went further north, so he led his guards and escaped to the southeast.
Ju Wuzhi held his breath and arrived in front of Pajaqili: "Great Khan, there is a heavy ambush of the Liang Army at the Dushikou Fortress. We can't go any further northwest." After saying this, he fainted.
Only then did Pajaqili understand why Hu was higher than Fan Yang and why he went to the northeast. It turned out that the old man had already expected an ambush in the north. So he took the remaining 5,000 rear troops and fled to the northeast.
Pajaqili walked east for five days, when he encountered Li Xiaofei and his men chasing him. The two armies fought hard, and the Black Flag Khanate lost more than a thousand people, leaving dozens of carts behind and headed north again.
.
Li Xiaofei watched the cavalry of the Black Banner Khanate go away and gritted his teeth. He only regretted that he had no cavalry, only these eight thousand infantry and fifty chariots. More than half of Pajaqili's army was lost, and they fled north for hundreds of miles to the river, where they had to be dismantled.
After getting off the car and building a bridge, they were crossing the river. Countless people and horses came from the east. Pajaqili only said that he had died here. The attendant next to him patted Pajaqili who had his eyes closed: "Great Khan, this is the team of the national army. The national army is coming from the east.
"
Pajaqili was delighted when he came from it, ran over and hugged Hu Gao tightly and cried bitterly: "I regret not listening to the advice of the imperial master. I lost tens of thousands of horses and lost most of the captured people. How can I face it when I go back to see Mo?"
People of the North"
Hu Gao didn't scold him, but smiled: "After this lesson, the Khan will not be fooled again next time. Didn't I bring more than 20,000 people and more than 100 cars of property? Ours
The strength is still there and there are still opportunities.”
Pajaqili cried even harder, and the thousands of men and horses who had escaped with him also began to cry. A heavy rain made them stop crying and set up tents to camp. After the rain passed and the sky cleared, the monarch and his ministers took the men and horses to
Returned to the royal court in the west.
Here, Chen Kuan led 3,000 people and waited for another five days. When no troops or horses from the Black Flag Khanate were seen, he led the army back to Xiang Kingdom with the captured horses and vehicles. Li Xiaofei attacked and rescued tens of thousands of people and returned to Fanyang.
The people of Fanyang respected Li Xiaofei, Zhu Yaoshi, and Murong Ling so much that some people actually erected statues of them to worship them.
Li Xiaofei was worried about causing trouble for himself, but Zhu Yaoshi said that this was the will of the people, not to mention that Jinling could not control Fanyang in the far north. Fanyang City has restored its former vitality, and some wealthy businessmen who were rescued by Liang Jun
In gratitude for their kindness, they also distributed their fields and houses to the surviving untouchable refugees. Zhu Yaoshi couldn't help but sigh: "I used to think that the rich were all bad people, but now it seems that there are still many good people in the world."
Li Xiaofei also smiled and said: "There are also rich people who are hard-working and kind, who save lives and heal the wounded, and there are also poor people who steal and plunder. But as long as the world is peaceful and everyone has food to eat, there will naturally be fewer bad guys."
Murong Ling laughed at the side: "You have a knife in your hand, and you will be a good person to everyone you meet."
Zhu Yaoshi and Li Xiaofei were stunned immediately, and then they also laughed: "It's the same Murong, who speaks less, but once he says it, people can't refute it."
Pharmacist Zhu suddenly remembered something, so he said to Li Xiaofei seriously: "Master Li, my sister is still in Fuyang. I think it is better to take her back to Fanyang. After all, Fanyang is our hometown. I will continue to practice medicine in Fanyang in the future."
Healing illnesses and saving people can also help me take care of my sister."
Li Xiaofei rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid your sister will go to Jinling with Murong. You have made many contributions, and the court will definitely give you a reward. If you are not rewarded, I will go to Jinling to get it for you."
Murong Ling glanced sideways at Li Xiaofei: "I'm here in Fanyang. After the war, I'm too lazy to protect you kid. If you go to die by yourself again, ask someone to bring you the money for the coffin first."
