Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 108

"Marshal, the news has come back, it should not be a trick of the bandit army." Inside the Tang army's camp, Chen Cheng walked in quickly and reported.

"Let's talk about it." Shao Shude put down the military book and said.

"One, the commander-in-chief already knows that the bandits will lead hundreds of sharp soldiers to attack our camp, and it is unreasonable to bluff with torches."

"Both, when the scouts reported back, there was movement in every battalion of the bandit army. If there is a plan, there must be a sequence, so that there will be no such chaos."

"Three, the bandit army has been defeated in a row, and their morale is low. Huang Ye is not a loyal generation who fights to the death. He must have retreated in fear."

"Fourth, the thieves' army is disorganized, and their expressions are flustered. It doesn't seem to be deceitful."

Shao Shude stood up, and after turning around the tent, Fang said: "Judge Chen is clear and well-founded, and he should be rewarded. I will pass on the order to the general, and each battalion will select the elite to attack. In order to prevent thieves and have rescue, chase after a mile. Stop, and the rear Yan soldiers advance slowly, and do not rush to chase. Follow ten miles like this, and use many torches to intimidate them. Disturb the hearts of the thieves, frighten the thieves, so that they will not be able to eat or sleep in the wild. After dawn, the cavalry will be exhausted. Come out and kill the nest thieves."

Wei Boqiu was about to look for Ling Qi, but Shao Shude stopped him again.

"Choose a ranger with strong skills, and bring a hook, a rope, a bow, a spear, and a knife. The thieves are running around at night, how many people can Huang Ye have by his side? See if you can catch this thief, go."

Wei Boqiu took orders and left.

Although Commander Zhuge has been in a state of obscurity recently, the military newspaper has never lost a copy, and Shao Shude has never been short of scenes that need to be done.Now the battle to suppress Huangchao is coming to an end, the officers and troops are pressing harder and harder, Wang Chongrong and Li Keyong have won two battles, and my side should also have a steady victory, and the west camp has also won a small victory, it is about time Consider the latter.

Zhuge's family needs to communicate a lot, the location of Xingyuan Mansion is very important.

As the order was issued, movement began to appear in the camp.However, the noise was very small, mostly the sound of ordnance clashing, and the sound of officers' passwords.Lu Huaizhong, Marquis of Duyu, personally led the army, bringing together [-] soldiers, [-] auxiliary soldiers, and more than a hundred miscellaneous soldiers.

Shao Shude suddenly became interested, climbed up the high platform in the camp, and what he saw was several fire dragons heading west.The initial speed was very fast, and gradually slowed down, and began to gather, moving slowly in a row.

When chasing the enemy at night, don't be careless. If you do something wrong, you will be plotted against by the enemy.

At this time, the enemy camp was very noisy, rumors were everywhere, and the morale of the army was chaotic.

Some people said that the coach Huang Ye ran away, some people said that he died after playing with Meiji in the army, and some people said that he was arrested by Butcher Shao. In short, it was not a good word, and the effect was similar: we have to run away too!

If the black light is blind, unless the plan is made in advance, there are people to meet along the way, and the torches are big, and the cohesion of the upper and lower is strong, then it is possible to escape successfully.The hive did have a plan, but it was too crude, too hasty, and poorly executed.They retreated one by one and covered each other. They were all pretending. When they were startled by the torches of the Tielin Army and the drums, the soldiers immediately dispersed and ran away, regardless of whether they could see or not. Where was the front? There is no way, anyway, just keep running!
It is conceivable what kind of virtue this retreat is.

By dawn, many people were tired and hungry, completely exhausted.Tang Jun's war drums rang all night, and they rang in different places, which made them panic and did not dare to sit down and rest.Sometimes I bite the bullet and rest, but I see torches approaching, and I don't know whether it is from the Tang army or from the friendly army, so I have to force myself to continue running.

After such a night, I was exhausted physically and mentally, and my heart was terrified.Many people fell down on the side of the road from exhaustion, throwing their knives, guns, bows and tokens all over the floor. They had no thoughts and just wanted to eat something and rest for a while.What's more, the one without winter clothes was blown in the cold wind all night. At this time, he couldn't hold on anymore and was shivering all over.

At this time, Tang Jun's cavalry also made a big move.

Before leaving, Shao Shude chatted with Zhe Siyu.Zhu Shuzong is now the envoy of You Yi, the cavalry pawn of the Tielin Army, but Zhe Siyu is in charge most of the time.During the two years of his expedition, he has also made a lot of contributions. Many of the more than 400 old brothers he brought over have taken up middle-level positions.It is not an exaggeration to say that this cavalry is the Zhejia army.

Zhe Siyu was still very respectful to Shao Shude.However, he was a little worried that his sister had no heirs, and worried that a certain concubine of the marshal would give birth to a son, which would make the heir's affairs difficult.Shao Shude didn't say much about this kind of thing, he just told Zhe Siyu that the Shao family and the Zhe family were in-laws and they would definitely share the wealth.

After the cavalry was mobilized, there was actually no battle worth mentioning.The enemy army fled in the middle of the night, the clever ones ran away first, and the slow-moving ones were tossed all night. Now they are lying everywhere, cold, tired and hungry, so they just need to send auxiliary soldiers to take over.Occasionally, there were a few die-hard generals who surrounded a hundred men and refused to surrender, and the cavalry also left them alone and continued to move forward.Anyway, now is the time to continue the pursuit, every moment is precious, the enemy army ran ahead of them in the middle of the night!

"General, let's take a break and have some water." Beside a certain village, a close attendant took out dry food and a water bag from his saddle bag and handed them to Huang Ye.

Huang Ye was in a trance.I ran all night, panicked, and didn't know where I was now.The most hateful thing was that there was no one in the camp that he had arranged to pick up, so he didn't dare to stay and continued to run all the way.

It was clear that the armies had been arranged to retreat sequentially, so why did they turn out like this?When fighting Gao Pian in the south of the Yangtze River before, the armies were not so decadent.

After hastily eating a few mouthfuls of dry food, Huang Ye looked around.There were more than [-] people guarding him before he set off last night, but now there are only dozens of them left, and they look dejected and angry when they look at them.

When we get back to Chang'an, let's go to Henan, and we can still regroup. Why are we all discouraged?

"General, there are cavalrymen from the Tang army!" A general said suddenly.

When everyone heard the words, they got on their horses one after another.

The cavalry of the Tang army in the distance also spotted them and quickly surrounded them.This group of cavalry probably consisted of a hundred or ten people, and they surrounded them very neatly. One group of more than thirty cavalry rushed straight, another group circled around the flanks, and the other group stopped after moving forward for a while, as if they were waiting for them. side to react.

"General, let's go!" The generals surrounded Huang Ye on his horse and fled frantically.Behind them, the sound of weapons being exchanged and the screams of dying have already sounded.

Fortunately, the soldiers are loyal and willing to defend themselves for a while.If he can survive, he will be rewarded heavily.All the officials and women looted from the mansion will be rewarded, anyway, I am tired of playing.

After running away for a long time in a dizzy state without knowing where to go, the crowd stopped at the edge of a small forest.It's not that I don't want to continue to escape, it's that the horse can't stand it anymore.

Panting heavily, Huang Ye leaned against a big tree.In the past two years, his body had been hollowed out by wine and lust, and he had only escaped for his life in the middle of the night, feeling a little overwhelmed.Looking around again, there was only seven or eight rides, and an uncontrollable sense of sadness gushed out from the bottom of my heart.

Daqi national power, can it really cheer up?

There was another sound of horseshoes in the distance, causing everyone to panic.Fortunately, they were not chasing in this direction. I don't know which unlucky ghost was affixed.Now it's a big defeat, let's all live in peace.

As he got older and ran away desperately in the middle of the night, Huang Ye was a little out of energy, and after sitting for a while, he became a little dazed.It was at this moment that a few screams suddenly sounded not far away.He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that several people following him were raising their knives and axes at Paoze, because of surprise, they quickly beheaded and killed three people.Only one person fought desperately, and after killing one person, he was hacked to the ground by the remaining three.

Huang Ye walked through the woods in panic, with three people chasing after him.Suddenly, an arrow hit Huang Ye in the back of his heart. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

The general's clothes are bloody and sweaty for no reason, and the lord wants to win!Huang Ye let out a miserable laugh, remembering what happened a few days ago.

"General, I'm sorry, I'll borrow your head." The three of them chased after him, and without any nonsense, they swung their knives and chopped off.

"You will die too." Huang Ye cursed, and then let out a cry of pain.

It turned out to be really painful.For some reason, Huang Ye thought of the mother and daughter who were stabbed to death by him.

After the three of them chopped off Huang Ye's head, they hurriedly left the forest.Soon, a group of Tang Army cavalry passed by and surrounded them directly.

"We are cavalry pawns under the tent of General Li, governor of Huazhou. If you put down your equipment, you will not die." A cavalry general stepped forward and said.

"I beheaded Huang Ye, and I want to dedicate it to Marshal Shao."

The cavalry general was taken aback, pointed his whip at the bloody heads in their arms, and asked, "Really?"

"We are personally accompanied by Huang Ye, this is absolutely true."

The cavalry general and his men exchanged winks, they understood, drew their bows and shot.The three of them were unprepared and were directly nailed to death on the spot, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Go, go back, and present the head to the general as a reward!" The team of cavalry carefully put Huang Ye's head in the saddle bag, and then they did not chase and escape, and directly rode back.
