Chapter three hundred and seventeen(2/2)
He could only lead Zhuge Liang to use his best life-saving skills on the battlefield, leaving the team that was still in the fierce battle. Leading the team that could still command around him, with the rolling yellow sand behind his butt, it was like flying.
He ran for his life the way he had come.
However, this time Uncle Liu wanted to escape, and it was not as easy as before. The Junzi army, whose maneuver speed was not at all faster than Uncle Liu's escape speed, had already detoured back to the rear of Uncle Huang's army. It was rare for the heavy cavalry to enter the close battlefield early and rush to kill.
A large number of the emperor's uncle's army was defeated, and the light cavalry used bows and arrows to greet the emperor's uncle's soldiers. They also specially selected the emperor's uncle's soldiers on horseback and in armor to greet them. Each arrow shot harder than the other, and each arrow shot harder than the last.
It was accurate. One after another, the lower-level generals of the Emperor's Army fell off their horses and died. One after another, the generals of the Emperor's Army wearing armor were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The team of the Emperor's Army, which had lost its command, became even more chaotic.
The situation on the battlefield is completely one-sided. The Xuzhou army has an absolute advantage in quantity, quality and experience. They beat the poor emperor's army like an adult beating a child. They also slaughtered pigs and sheep with ease.
The soldiers of the Emperor's Uncle Army, who had little power to fight back, killed the Emperor's Uncle Army until corpses and blood flowed all over the ground. Under such circumstances, and on this tragic open battlefield, not to mention the Emperor's Army's troops.
It's time to turn the situation around. Whether 20% to 30% of the 10% can escape back to the camp is also a big question.
The chasing team has already sounded the slogan of capturing the big-eared thief alive. The soldiers of the emperor's uncle's army who collapsed have also fled all over the mountains and plains. The number of soldiers around Uncle Liu Huang who is riding a war horse has become less and less. However, they are still far away from Cai Mao's camp.
There is a distance of more than 20 miles, but this is not difficult for Uncle Liu who is experienced in escaping. After jumping off the horse quickly, Uncle Liu quickly took out two sets of ordinary soldiers' uniforms from the package behind the horse, and gave them to them even more quickly.
He changed his military uniform and ordered to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, quickly, you also change into the clothes of an ordinary soldier. I will lead you to retreat. Don't ask for the war horse. Riding a horse is too conspicuous."
After hesitating for a while, Zhuge Liang finally dismounted silently and prepared to change clothes. As he dismounted, he said gloomily: "My lord, Liang swears to God that from now on, I will never let you suffer such injustice again...ah!"
"What's wrong?" Liu Huangshu was shocked and quickly picked up Zhuge Liang who fell off his horse. When he took a closer look, Liu Huangshu's face suddenly turned pale, because Zhuge Liang had an arrow inserted into the ankle of his right foot.
The arrowhead went straight into the joint, destroying the joint structure. Although it was not fatal, the right foot was completely disabled!
"Lord, Liang's leg is disabled, please go." Zhuge Liang, who was proficient in medical skills, also understood the condition of his injury. He pretended to smile and asked Uncle Liu Huang to leave first, but tears still oozed from his delicate eyes.
Uncle Liu really wanted to abandon Zhuge Liang and run for his life, but considering how favored Zhuge Xuan was in front of Liu Bian and the power behind the Zhuge family, Uncle Liu silently cut off the arrow shaft and quickly lassoed Zhuge Liang with the armor of an ordinary soldier.
Then he put Zhuge Liang on the horse and lay on the horse's back. He held the horse's reins and said with a wry smile: "Kong Ming, let's go. Whether we can escape with our lives depends on our luck."
Zhuge Liang shed tears, nodded, and choked with sobs and said: "Thank you, my lord, if I can go back alive this time, Liang will definitely find justice for my lord."
Liu Huangshu's luck and experience in escaping are indeed not attributable. He did not directly escape to the west with Zhuge Liang. He only chose places with sparse people and ran around. After getting out of the chaotic battlefield, he immediately put Zhuge Liang down on his horse and walked with Zhuge Liang on his back.
When fleeing for their lives, they were pursued by the Xuzhou army and fled into the bushes. They even got into the water diversion ditch dug by the people of Xuchang several times. They were covered in mud and mud, which made it even harder to attract the attention of the Xuzhou army. However, the Xuzhou army still foolishly only paid attention to it.
While chasing the Emperor's Uncle's army, they still paid little attention to the Emperor's Uncle's soldiers who were escaping alone. As a result, Liu Huang's uncle was once again given a chance to escape.
The overly open battlefield gave Uncle Liu the opportunity to escape. Cai Hao and Huang She, who were still conscientious, also helped Uncle Liu. After receiving the news of the disastrous defeat of the Emperor's army, Cai Hao and Huang She did not abandon the cannon fodder of the Emperor's army.
Regardless, nearly ten thousand troops were sent to respond. As a result, although the Jingzhou army was overwhelmed by the highly morale Xuzhou army in just a moment, it increased the chaos of the entire battlefield, leaving Emperor Liu's uncle behind Zhuge Liang's back.
Despite the situation, he was still lucky enough to escape to a place with thick vegetation far away from the battlefield. He also dug two shallow pits for himself and Zhuge Liang to lie in. He covered Zhuge Liang with weeds and soil, and finally ordered: "Kong Ming, use weeds.
We cover our faces with mud and soil, leaving only our noses to breathe. As long as we persist until dark, we have hope of returning to camp. It doesn't matter if Cai Hao and the others withdraw across the river by then. I know how to drink water and bring dry food with me."
