Chapter 8 The Magical Withdrawal

"Retreat now?"

"Why are you so eager?"

"It's impossible!"

……

As soon as Zhao Jin's words fell, the surrounding people burst into chatter, everyone was shocked, and everyone's head was full of doubts.

Because this is so unbelievable, it is simply unprepared.

"Don't ask other questions. This is a military order announced by Mr. Guerrilla himself. I don't know if there are too many. Let the brothers clean up quickly. Time is tight and there is no delay." Zhao Jin stopped everyone's questioning loudly.

Then, he glanced at several captains, but said to Li Ping: "Captain Li, gather your troops immediately and follow me to find some mules and horses elsewhere."

"what?"

Li Ping froze on the spot.

At this time, go elsewhere to find mules and horses?Where can I find it?Which stupid friendly army would give precious mules and horses to others at this time?

If he wants to take the opportunity to prepare for the run, how can he get the whole team together?
Li Ping couldn't react at all.

"Don't think too much, Guerrilla said that each department can search for mules and horses for help, you just follow me." Zhao Jin explained.

Then, he turned to the other two captains and said: "If we miss the time, Captain Qi and Captain Wang don't have to wait, just go ahead with the team and we will catch up."

Seeing that everyone was still standing still, Zhao Jin yelled impatiently: "Don't be dazed, move quickly, hurry up."

Amid Zhao Jin's shouting, the captain and the chiefs finally dispersed, and the whole camp became chaotic, with all kinds of yelling constantly ringing out, and Zhao Jin was so angry that he yelled, "The commander-in-chief doesn't let the noise!".

But at this time, the entire Zuojun camp was boiling.

Seeing that Li Ping quickly assembled his team, Zhao Jin, who had put on the leather armor indiscriminately, didn't care about anything else, and immediately called Li Ping and the others to leave the camp and trot away.

"Where are we going?" Li Ping continued to ask in confusion while running.

"Go and grab the friendly army." Zhao Jin threw out a short sentence.

Li Ping staggered and almost fell, and hurriedly asked in disbelief, "Are you kidding?"

"The order to retreat was issued by our chief soldier himself. The supervisor and other chief soldiers are completely unaware of it. There are too many people talking, so don't ask so many questions." Zhao Jin quickly whispered a few words after helping Li Ping .

Li Ping's head buzzed, and he became even more confused in an instant.

Zuo Liangyu is too courageous!

It is estimated that no one would have thought that he would dare to sneak away before the battle. This is pushing his superiors and allies into the fire pit!What's more terrible is that this is a blatant disobedience to the emperor's order, and it is definitely a capital crime among capital crimes.

However, this arrogance and Hu Gan's energy really fit the image in the original history.

Has history not changed, but I know less?
Li Ping's head was full of mud, but he followed Zhao Jin numbly and continued to trot, not even paying much attention to Shi Ming and Wang Chengwu chasing after him for help.

This Zhao Jin should have scouted the situation of the surrounding camps a long time ago, but he walked very skillfully in the dark, and soon got into a camp, and after turning left and right, he led Li Ping and the others straight A small but loosely guarded mule and horse enclosure.

I don't know which general this battalion belongs to, whether it is a pure friendly army belonging to Zuo Liangyu, anyway, a large group of people rushed over, and before the Ming army could react, they beat them away. Too many idiots, grab the mules and donkeys and leave.

Zhao Jin also specially ordered everyone not to be greedy, and each person only leads one end and walks quickly.

As for the horses, Zhao Jin didn't even think about it, and instead explained to everyone: "Isn't it courting death to snatch the cavalry stables that are the focus of attention in a chaotic time? Otherwise, it will take a lot of time to be beaten away."

Shi Ming, who came to help, didn't say anything else at the beginning, but after protecting everyone for a while on the return journey, he insisted on taking Wang Chengwu to ride a mule to return.

Not long after, the two men brought back four horses, which immediately drew applause from the army, their bravery was indeed not just for bragging.

This Shi Ming has been bragging for the past few days that he has practiced sports since he was a child, and has been working in the society after graduating from high school. He has started several industries such as driving schools and logistics all by himself.Now it seems that it is very likely to be true.

Perhaps with Shi Ming's experience, it is his philosophy to directly advertise his strength in the face of difficulties, and it is easier to bring him benefits.

At this time, in a higher place south of Zhuxian Town, General Pingzei of Daming Yuan, Prince Shaobao, and current commander-in-chief Zuo Liangyu, surrounded by all his own soldiers, and some confidant officers on horseback were seriously inspecting the situation. The camp of the army.

Zuo Liangyu was demoted and made meritorious service because of his ineffective encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xianzhong last year. In February this year, he was almost killed by Li Zicheng in Yancheng, Henan. Liangyu probably died already.

If Li Zicheng insisted on beating Zuo Liangyu to death, it was mainly because Zuo Liangyu attacked Linying, its storage base, and slaughtered the city. Could Li Zicheng not be impatient!
At present, Zuo Liangyu's troops are relatively rich in mules, horses, tents, etc., which are the huge seizures during the surprise attack on Linying.

However, Li Zicheng knocked Zuo Liangyu halfway, but made an impulsive withdrawal. It wasn't completely a trick, but because he was afraid that Wang Qiaonian would run away.

Li Zicheng insisted on going to Wang Qiaonian, not because Wang Qiaonian had a higher position, but mainly because Li Zicheng's eyes turned red when he heard Wang Qiaonian's words.

Why is Li Zicheng so excited?
That's because Wang Qiaonian did something big, something that drove Li Zicheng crazy.

He dug up Li Zicheng's ancestral grave, it's a terrible thing!
Only then did Li Zicheng happily let Zuo Liangyu go, and for the first time left a shadow in his heart for this famous Ming fighter.

But Zuo Liangyu didn't think so. He actually thought that his city guard was pretty good, but of course he also realized that Li Zicheng was not simple and could not be easily shaken.

It is even more impossible for low-level Ming army officers and soldiers to understand the twists and turns of the upper level, and they cannot understand or see the large strategic and tactical levels.

They only knew that it was fun to follow Zuo Liangyu to rob Li Zicheng, and then Li Zicheng chased them but didn't bite them.In their eyes, Zuo Zongbing is naturally very powerful, and Li Zicheng is nothing to fear.

Zhao Jin, Shi Ming and others did not have access to high-level generals, so they could only learn what ordinary officers and soldiers knew, so they naturally thought that Zuo Liangyu was really powerful.

But Wang Qiaonian rescued Zuo Liangyu, but Zuo Liangyu didn't care about Wang Qiaonian's life or death. Until Wang Qiaonian's army was annihilated, Zuo Liangyu, who had already rescued him, did not send troops. Wang Qiaonian's plan to attack Li Zicheng was completely ruined, and he was still dead. miserable.

But this time, Zuo Liangyu was even more confused, wondering if he hadn't recovered from the shock that Li Zicheng brought him.

Years have mercilessly etched a deep imprint on this tall and strong man who became famous in Liaodong and once made countless peasant troops fearful and avoided fighting.

The middle-aged Zuo Liangyu might really be old!
Although he tried his best to straighten his waist, it was hard to hide his oldness and weakness.

Seeing the commander-in-chief heaving a sigh of relief, a general beside Zuo Liangyu immediately cupped his fists and asked, "General, are you really not going to inform the supervisor? If the court blames you, you don't know how much grievance you will suffer. "

Zuo Liangyu's face was already red, but when he heard his confidant mention the supervisor, he was completely black, and he was angry: "It's useless to know! What does he know as a literati, Ding Qirui? The bandit army is powerful. We can only slow down, not rush. Now our army is short of rations and water, and the morale of the army is already unstable, but this nerd today forced the army to fight the bandit army tomorrow. What is the difference between this and death? If we don’t retreat today, tomorrow he will Encouraging other ministries to act recklessly will result in a big defeat."

Hearing that all the confidantes should say yes, Zuo Liangyu calmed down and said: "As soon as our troops withdraw, how can this idiot not know the big news? He is not a fool, and he will definitely retreat. As for the imperial court, As long as our soldiers are still there, how can we do anything to me? What's more, I have been demoted to the general soldier, what else can I do?"

At this time, another general saw that his general had mentioned some generals, so he came out clasped his fists and asked about the army. He flattered him first and said, "The general is a seasoned general. I am so blessed to be at the general's side." and also".

Then he asked knowingly: "It's just that the villain is dull, please tell me, the general, marching in the dark is not easy at all, and it will be even more troublesome if the bandits come after us, how should we deal with it?"

Zuo Liangyu proudly said: "Don't worry too much, the rebel army is mostly rats, but this time our army has a large number of generals, the rebel army must be afraid of it. We will retreat temporarily because our army is currently short of food and water, and we are being asked The thieves have taken advantage of the location, and the attack is easy to lose too much. It is not because they are afraid of them. How dare they chase them?

What's more, I ordered the infantry to go first, and the cavalry behind, with the cover of night, the bandit army didn't know how to attack.If any band of thieves don't know what to do, let the cavalry boys teach them a lesson, and they will retreat. "

Hearing Zuo Liangyu's words, all the generals immediately burst into smiles, and the voice of "the general is wise" is endless.

At this time, in the camps of several other Ming troops in the distance, chaos began to ensue, all of which were the neighing of mules and horses.

Seeing the chaos, the generals began to chat and exchange with each other in low voices. It turned out that many generals secretly sent troops to snatch the horse mules of other groups of Ming troops for the return journey.

Zuo Liangyu frowned when he heard the discussion, and after hesitating for a moment, he pretended not to know.

Then, he lamented that he was old and a little tired, and said loudly that he needed to find a carriage for a while.After speaking, he turned and left with his soldiers.

The generals understood in their hearts, and without saying anything else, hurriedly sent the old general off.

It was said that it took half an hour, but in fact the entire Zuo Liangyu army started to move out, but it took at least twice as long.

Because Zuo Liangyu's troops were not only going to grab things, it was impossible for 10 troops to leave in a short period of time.The more people there are, the more complicated the organization of the camp will be.

When it was discovered that Zuo Liangyu's troops were plundering friendly troops and showing signs of withdrawing, the frightened Ming troops reacted astonishingly quickly. They organized quickly and ran away at a faster speed, and ran in other directions. Lost.

These friendly troops did not go south, because the south was Zuo Liangyu's territory, and they were not stupid enough to send themselves to Zuo Liangyu to be robbed.

That's right, all the friendly troops who realized it later ran away first, leaving Zuo Liangyu's army at the end instead.

How bewildering!But it really happened.

And Du Guerrilla also took his time in a confusing manner. His brigade moved very slowly, and fell far behind the entire southward retreating army.

Although Du Guerrilla gained a lot from the robbing of his friendly troops, he got almost two or three hundred heads of various livestock, and some other goods, but it didn't make him confused because of these small fortunes.

In fact, Du Guerrilla did it on purpose, and he didn't want to be upset.

Because Du Guerrilla knew that Zuo Liangyu was going to lead the cavalry brigade back, Du Guerrilla decided to go behind him, and he wanted to be closer to his old boss.If you can get some arrangement because of this, you can also win the favor of your old boss.

However, Du Guerrilla also let two soldiers lead Zhao Jin's sentry to protect Zhao Lanyue early.

The reason why he did this was mainly because he thought that the intruders might harass him. He was very worried that the delicate Zhao Lanyue would be frightened again. This was because he was going to marry in the future, so he couldn't leave behind any illnesses, especially mental ones.

So in the endless southward retreat, ten unlucky guys from different time and space started their first march in the new world.

However, the road ahead is long, and there is nothing but confusion.
