Chapter 582 A Different Pursuit
"Young master, you must have a good rest. After we came out of Wuchang, we drank a sip of water. If we continued to rush, our brothers would really not be able to run. Even if our people didn't need to rest, these horses would have to rest."
This guy Wang Shangang can't hold on anymore. In fact, it's not that he can't hold on anymore. All the brothers can't hold on anymore. They are indeed the elites under Zuo Menggeng, but after coming out of Wuchang City, these people have not yet entered.
In addition, there were always pursuers behind them, and their spirits were in a state of high tension. Just now, dozens of soldiers fell off the horse and were exhausted when they saw it.
If we continue to rush, there will be more and more such soldiers, and the non-combat reduction will have the greatest impact on an army.
"Then let the brothers take a little rest and eat dry food, but the rest time should not be too long. Send some scouts to our backs and let them stare at the people behind them. If they are too close, no matter how tired we are, we have to continue to leave, otherwise we will die."
According to Zuo Menggeng's idea, he must continue to move forward. He would not stay for rest anyway. Compared with his current physical fatigue, he still wanted to save his life, but public anger was difficult to offend.
If he didn't let someone rest, the soldiers below would probably not be able to help it. It turned out that you were the eldest young master when you were in Wuchang.
Now that I run to this place, just like Emperor Xuanzong of Tang who was fleeing his life back then, if it makes these soldiers uncomfortable, maybe I will bring you a mutiny, and anything is possible.
Just as Zuo Menggeng and others were resting, the cavalry group and company passed through the mountains with great difficulty. They had already seen the lights of fire at the foot of the mountain. This was Zuo Menggeng's army.
As long as they can circumvent around, they can fight an ambush in front. Even if they fight for one to two hours, they can get our army to catch up with Zuo Menggeng.
Zuo Menggeng was also in a mess at this moment. When he was doing this, he was just thinking about escaping his life, but not thinking about his own way out.
Now that I run out, I feel a little regretful, but for these people, their conscience has been eaten by dogs, and this regret is fleeting.
Now he remembered his former partner, Hauge...
After leaving Wuchang, the guy was chased like a rabbit by the Ming army. It is said that less than half of them are now.
Zuo Menggeng didn't bring many people when he came out. If it were according to Haoge's situation, he would probably become a commander without a few days. When Zuo Menggeng thought of this, he felt sad.
Why did you surrender to these Qing people at the beginning? I blame you for not having a long-term vision.
If he had surrendered to the court, he might have been his eldest son now, and his army would have been equipped with these good weapons instead of using these swords, guns and sticks. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.
"Everything is up for me, and set off quickly."
Thinking of this, Zuo Menggeng felt depressed and quickly asked his subordinates to set off. If he continued to stay here, the people behind might chase him and what he was thinking in his head would become a reality. He didn't want to give his life here.
"Do you just stand there and don't want to live without any effort? Do you want to go back and get beheaded?"
After Zuo Menggeng saw that he gave the order, his soldiers were still lying on the ground like dead people. Not many people responded to his orders. The guy was so angry that he pulled out a whip and sucked hard at the soldiers next to him.
"After we came out of Wuchang City, we had not entered the water. How can we continue to run forward and wait for us to fall off the horse? What's more, why do we run away? The court did not say that we wanted to kill our heads."
One of Zuo Menggeng's cavalry said loudly. Although the others did not dare to resist, they knew that they were thinking the same thing as this guy.
Mom, someone dared to resist.
Zuo Menggeng knew very well that these people must be suppressed at this time. If they were to make a fuss, he would probably have to be taken down by them on the spot. These days, his head is very valuable.
"Kill you bastard to death and disobey your orders on the battlefield, no one can do it."
Zuo Menggeng threw away the whip in his hand, took out his waist, and slashed it with one knife. The soldier who had just spoken to him was exhausted when he saw it.
The other soldiers were also shocked. They had heard of Zuo Menggeng's cruelty, but they didn't expect that Meng Meng was so cruel to the personal soldiers around him.
"Is there anyone else who doesn't have the strength? If anyone doesn't have the strength, I will go over and ask."
Seeing Zuo Menggeng's red eyes, the people around him were honestly getting on the horse. After all, they have served the Zuo family for several years. Even if they want to resist, the signs will not be able to rise in an instant.
Wang Shangang's throat moved, and some words were in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it at this moment. Zuo Menggeng's actions just now were a bit too much. The people below had already developed a rebellious mind. If they could not be resolved properly, the chaos would be very big in the future.
"Go away quickly, a bunch of waste."
Under Zuo Menggeng's gaze, these soldiers could only cheer up and continue walking forward. Because the horses were not full, they could not run at all. Zuo Menggeng also blamed the soldiers for this matter. Although they put away the knife, the soldiers who passed by Zuo Menggeng were all whipped.
When Zuo Menggeng and the others were resting just now, Wu Chengxun could see clearly on the mountain, so they all accelerated their speed. Now they saw Zuo Menggeng starting to move slowly again.
Wu Chengxun also frowned, and could only make his brothers grit their teeth.
The soldiers on both sides have completely different mentalities now.
Zuo Menggeng's soldiers were a little rebellious, and they were not satisfied with Zuo Menggeng's explosion of the Yangtze River embankment. After all, many of them were still living around Wuchang. Zuo Menggeng did this, even their family members didn't care.
