Shu Chen

Chapter 64
Objectively unfavorable, it never differs from person to person.

In the thick smoke, although Ma Zhong took advantage of the situation to break through the fortifications of the road, but he was unable to take advantage of the situation to cover up and break into the rebel camp to expand the victory.

Therefore, after Zhu Bao's army retreated to the camp, he stopped the offensive.

Instead, let the soldiers clear the fire and roadblocks, wait for the road to be completely clear, and then launch the offensive.

Of course, Zhu Bao didn't want to fight anymore.

It's not that he can't fight anymore.

When the imperial army was attacked by the thick smoke, he saw that he could not resist, so he ordered the generals to return to the camp to guard them.

Only three hundred troops were lost.

And there were almost no casualties.

As for why they lost their soldiers, or fell behind and were captured, or they fled in the chaos, no one knows.

But he felt that it was meaningless.

Compared with the military strength of the two sides, the imperial court has more troops, and he has no danger to defend, and the odds of winning are small.

On the other hand, it was here that all the soldiers of the direct line were exhausted, and they fought Ma Zhongjue to the death. If they won, they lost a lot.Even if he loses half of his soldiers, it will be difficult for him to suppress the barbarian tribes in the various counties in the future.

It's just that the two armies are facing each other, and no one can come and go freely.

He was determined to retreat, and he was worried that after leaving the camp, Ma Zhong would take the opportunity to send out a large number of elite troops, which evolved into an endless battle between the two sides.

Therefore, he thought about it, the plan of the golden silkworm to escape.

First, dispatch a few soldiers frequently to repair the defenses around the camp, and make a stance of defending.

In the dark, he secretly asked his confidant to go south first, taking advantage of the night, carrying heavy grains and other items.After there was no baggage to drag down the marching speed, they set fire to the camp to stop the chasing troops, and led the army to withdraw.

And personally led the elite after the break.

Ma Zhong saw the fire and heard the scouts claiming that Zhu Bao did not bring any baggage when he retreated, and after a little thought, he understood the reason.

There is also no regret that Zhu Bao escaped under his nose.

After all, he didn't expect to be able to kill Zhu Bao in battle here.

According to the original plan negotiated with Zheng Pu, he sent [-] soldiers to chase after him, and then turned his army to Qielan County, to appease the people of Li Shu in the northern counties of Peng Pu, and to eliminate the barbarian tribes who were taking advantage of the chaos.

At the beginning of the pursuit, the two armies were nearly [-] miles apart.

At such a distance, it would take a day to catch up with the army in the Long County, where the mountains are crisscrossed.

However, the following imperial crusades were chasing after them lightly, and they did not carry many heavy grains, and the distance was shortened day by day.

In just ten days, it was reduced to more than ten miles.

If there is a change, the Han army will leave the baggage and march quickly, and it will not take an hour to meet each other.

And this distance is still shortening!
It also made Zhu Bao feel very anxious.

If they return to the division to fight, the strength of the two armies is almost the same, and both the morale and combat power of the imperial crusade are better, and the outcome is between the two.

Not only is it a victory, but it is also a tragic victory of "killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred".

Setting up roadblocks along the way will greatly delay the time to travel to Judang County in the south.

If you don't fight, you will carry too much baggage, and you are reluctant to throw it away, and the speed is really not fast.

After thinking about it, I decided to separate out a small number of soldiers and go ahead with food and supplies again. I only led 500 people to the rear. Whenever I encountered a dangerous place, I would drop into the camp, set up some roadblocks or destroy the road, and delay the pursuit for two or three days. Then march quickly to meet up and go to food.

In this way, although it is impossible to get rid of the chasing troops, it can greatly alleviate the dilemma of being gradually chased.

And when they got to the river bank, there was no need to worry about chasing troops.

He had already prepared a boat on the other side, so he could cross it directly, and it would take a lot of time for the chasing troops to cut wood and make rafts.

Furthermore, "the soldiers can be attacked halfway through"!
All he needs to do is leave a troop on the other side, and even the number of chasing troops will not dare to cross and chase after him!
In particular, crossing Tsu is approaching.

Going and stopping all the way, he has been going up against the Henghe River, marching for five days, and then crossing the cliff that suddenly rises in front of him, it only takes three days to cross.

Moreover, the cliff here, the passable road, is quite cramped, and it is also a good place for defense.

Just stay here and set up camp, block the road for three or five days, and you can get rid of the pursuers.

However, it's a pity.

When he let the rations and supplies pass through the narrow road first, before he had time to set up camp, a sudden change occurred!

A dysprosium, sharp and high-pitched, pierced the sky!
A plume of smoke surged up from the cliff, reaching the sky!
It is the muffled thunder, resounding through the world!
I saw that on the cliff, countless rocks, long trees, and thorns swept down the steep mountain wall like an avalanche, with an unmatched potential!The smashed mountain debris, the entrapped soil, and the rolled up dust roared like an enraged ancient beast, roaring with hostility and contempt!

In an instant, the middle section of the cramped mountain road was raised more than two feet on the ground!

They will also cut off the first rebel army who escorted the heavy grain and the [-] soldiers at the rear of the palace led by Zhu Bao!

Disregarding each other!
In the rebel formation after the breakup, the soldiers suddenly burst into grief and fear, the screams of the Yunnan horses, the anger of the generals at all levels, and the deafening noise mixed with all kinds of voices made people desperate.

Zhu Bao, who was frightened and fell to the ground, his eyes became extremely bloodshot in an instant when the rocks and soil fell, leaving only gray eyes dotted with red.

Immediately, the pupils were extremely condensed, and the fear was constantly swallowed.

That dysprosium that pierced the sky was not just an order to stop the ambush!

More than ten miles behind him, there are still two thousand chasing soldiers!
Come on a rush march, it doesn't take two quarters of an hour!

Two quarters!
How can his soldiers clear the way? !

At this moment, there was only one thought in his consciousness: to tie all the scouts who were exploring the road ahead, hold the blade in his own hands, and chop it into minced meat to vent the anger that burned his heart! !

Of course, a trace of remaining rationality was also reminding him that the chasing troops had descended.

"The formation!!"

"Formation!! Meet the enemy!!"

Like a mandrill's sharp roar, it surged up from Zhu Bao's chest and abdomen, and then squeezed out of his throat.

After roaring, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked the bodyguard who diligently helped him get up. He frowned and roared, "Climb over the roadblock quickly, let the front army quickly remove the stone and wood, and come to help!"

"promise!"

The personal soldier stumbled to the ground, and immediately got up in a hurry, turned around and ran to the still dusty hills blocking the road.Ignoring the barbs of the thorns that ripped off his shirt, the sharp rocks piercing his palms, and the countless sawdust pierced into the flesh and blood, he buried his head and struggled to climb up.

With quite agile skills, he climbed to the top in three or five strokes, and then jumped suddenly, making the figure disappear from Zhu Bao's sight.

The disciples shouted loudly and sternly, "The prefect has a life! Quickly clear the road, come to help the rear army", echoing in the mountain road, and gradually weakened.

It is really commendable that the guards are so loyal!
However, there was no joy in Zhu Bao's eyes.

There are so many stones and trees that cut off the mountain road, if the army wants to clear the passage, it is not a temporary achievement!
At that time, when the morale of the already frightened soldiers has collapsed, will they still be able to come to the rear to help them?
Anxious and angry, Zhu Bao sometimes looked at the horrified and scattered soldiers, and sometimes looked beyond the horizon line behind him.

In my heart, I also began to pray to God, hoping that those chasing soldiers would come more slowly.

Extremely pious.

However, God once again forgot to favor him.

When the clamor of drums and drums faintly came to my ears, outside the skyline, a military flag embroidered with the simple and majestic "Han" character suddenly floated up!

And, in rapid beating!
With one jump, it suddenly jumped up a lot!

In a few breaths, he broke free from the shackles of the surface, leaped into the air, and waved the 400-year-old man's power in the wind!

At this moment, between the heavens and the earth, only the huge Han Jing is shining brightly, looking down on the world!

The mountains and rivers are eclipsed!

Everything shuddered, and all wailed and surrendered!
Then, a strand of black silk thread spread on the ground and gradually increased, slowly merging into a shaking human shape.

The chasing troops came faster than expected.

Zhu Bao's eyes were full of dullness.

Turning his head slightly, he looked at the water vapor, unable to see the Penghe River on the other side, and his heart was ashes.

Swimming, there is no way out.
As a result, his face was quickly covered with ruthlessness and ferociousness, and the madness in his eyes glowed with brilliance.

Reaching out his hand to push away the guards who were in front of him, he strode towards the battle drum, grabbed the drumstick with one hand, beat it hard, and roared furiously: "Masters! The way back is dead! The battle of death is life!!"

When the generals saw it, they also pulled out the swords on their waists with a "bang", and roared angrily: "Fight to the death!!"

There are chasing troops afterward, and there is no way out before, and the main general beats the drums and urges "the last battle", the morale of the soldiers in the army is more or less, and it will be aroused again.

Fortunately, the army that was selected by the master to accompany the rear of the palace was a carefully selected elite.

It is also a loyal teacher who dares to die!

Inside the rebel formation, first there were individual soldiers with red eyes stalking their necks, who followed General Zuo howling "death battle", and slowly evolved into Yiwu, Yishi, Yitun, Yiqu.
In the end, the roars of the whole army of "death battle" continued to rise and fall between the mountain roads for a long time.

At this moment, the Han army also rushed to the place of a single arrow.

First, under the scolding of the generals, they stopped to rest their formation for a while, and then there was a desolate and long bullhorn in the formation, which urged the prelude to the attack.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

A group of Han troops, filed out.

"Buzz!"

"Om!!"

Behind the military formations of both sides, a rain of arrows rose into the sky, instantly darkening the sky.

The shield soldiers in the front row of the Han army, carrying large sculls on their shoulders, rushed forward.

Following the spearmen, holding the spear in both hands, the cat head leaned slightly, hiding itself in the shield as much as possible, and strode from behind.

In the end, it was a sword and shield short soldier wrapped in simple leather armor.

At this moment, they all threw the small round shields that had previously tied their forearms, held sharp blades in both hands, leaned forward, and the tips of their feet were slightly buckled into the soil, their eyes filled with murderous aura, ready to go!

When the shield soldiers pushed the big scull into the half-arrow place, they roared like thunder, rushing towards them like wild horses.

"Defend my big man!!"

"Kill the thief!!"

"kill!!"

At this moment, banners and flags are hunting, drums and drums are contending, and they are roaring to death, dominating the world.

And the barren soil of the county has once again ushered in a carnival of flesh and blood!
