Chapter 1489 Defeat like a mountain

At noon, the wind and cloud changed, and it was still sunny all morning. At noon, the clouds in the sky began to become cloudy, but before dinner, a heavy rain fell from the sky.

The Tianshan logistics transportation team had already received the news of the defeat ahead, and the transportation team that was following behind to provide food and equipment immediately turned around and hurriedly retreated westward.

The Tianshan transport team transported a large amount of grain and grass materials. Zhu Lingyue led the Tianshan Army, which is known as a [-]-strong army, to attack Xiguan. Huan was full of confidence, but he didn't completely underestimate the Xiguan Army at the beginning. He even felt that if he really wanted to conquer Xiguan, he might have to spend a lot of trouble, so the logistics supplies were quite sufficient.

Although nearly [-] Xiguan troops were stationed on Calabash Mountain, Zhu Lingyue only left a few thousand soldiers stationed in dangerous places to contain the Xiguan Army on Calabash Mountain and not to attack. It is to ensure that the back road is unimpeded and not harassed by the Xiguan garrison in Calabash Mountain.

The transport team consisted of nearly [-] people. Except for nearly [-] soldiers, the others were recruited civilians. When the news of the defeat came, Ximen Quan, the general of the Tianshan Department who was in charge of transporting the grain and grass, knew that something was wrong. , The transportation team even saw the Tianshan Army that had been defeated from the front line and fled to the west in despair. When the order was given, the team turned around, and the rear team became the front team and marched with all their strength.

It's just that the civilian husbands saw the defeat of the Tianshan Army, and those soldiers ran westward without thinking. They knew that there might be Xiguan people chasing after them. Inadvertently obeying orders, some peasants took advantage of the confusion and escaped from the team. Ximenquan ordered the soldiers to kill more than a dozen peasants who were about to escape, and finally stabilized the situation a little.

It was already difficult to move, and with the sudden heavy rain, the transportation team became even more difficult, but Ximenquan knew in his heart that if these supplies fell into the hands of Xiguan people, the consequences would be unimaginable, so he planned to quickly transport the supplies, food and grass When he arrived at Hezhou City in the rear, when he learned from the defeated soldiers that Ganhou's Northwest Army had rebelled, Ximenquan was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the troops to change their route and bypass Hezhou City.

He didn't forget that in the city of Hezhou, Marquis Gan had left two thousand soldiers to garrison him. If they ran into him at this time, wouldn't it be self-inflicted.

It was raining continuously, and Zhu Lingyue was already quite embarrassed at this time.

Under Zhang He's order, Liu Quan led more than 1000 cavalry to guard Zhu Lingyue's escape all the way west. This cavalry was loyal and did not break up. The cavalry regrouped the soldiers and horses who had fled to the nearby area. Along the way, they managed to gather 4000 troops. Knowing that the battle at the horse farm had completely collapsed and lost, Zhu Lingyue spat out another mouthful of blood.

Zhu Lingyue led the three or four thousand defeated troops under his command, fled westward through the rain, and soon saw a huge army of people appearing in front of them, and the Pegasus chased after them, it was the grain transportation team from Tianshan Mountain.

The food transportation team was startled when they saw soldiers and horses chasing after them. Ximen Quan shouted at his soldiers to prepare to resist. Taking advantage of the chaos, a large group of peasants fled in the rain. Ximenquan was overjoyed, and hurried forward to kneel down on the ground, respectfully said: "Zhu Du, as long as you are safe and sound...!"

Zhu Lingyue saw that the transportation team was out of formation in the rain, and frowned, but although the formation was chaotic, the food, grass and equipment were still there anyway, so he immediately ordered: "speed up and continue to the west...!" But he was worried, afraid that Chu Huan The soldiers and horses from behind caught up and reorganized the team immediately. He led the soldiers and horses behind, and Ximenquan led the transport team to speed up.

Although the army was defeated at the racecourse, Zhu Lingyue also thought in his heart that at least Tianshan Mountain was still in his hands. As long as he returned to Tianshan Mountain, reorganized his troops and guarded the main passes, Chu Huan might not be able to enter. It's too important, as long as you can keep it, it will be your capital to resist Chu Huan.

Although flying his own flag at this time is attractive to others, Zhu Lingyue is also taking a risk. He makes people fly his handsome flag, and even makes his soldiers gather up the rout. This is also useful, those headless Seeing Zhu Lingyue's commander-in-chief flag, the defeated soldiers like flies gathered here, and soon gathered another 2000 soldiers and horses, adding up to [-] soldiers and horses in their hands.

With these 7000 people under his command, Zhu Lingyue became more courageous. He also knew that going to Hezhou City at this time was undoubtedly a self-inflicted suicide. After leaving the route, he was about to detour to the south of Hezhou City. At dusk, Zhu Lingyue was exhausted, but he could only hold on. Riding on the horse, he squinted his eyes in a daze, as if he was not asleep.

Suddenly someone exclaimed: "It's not good, the Xiguan people are catching up, the Xiguan people are catching up...!"

Zhu Lingyue was awakened in an instant. He was taken aback. He had already heard the sound of horseshoes coming from behind. Liu Quan had already rode over with a solemn expression: "Zhu Du, Chu Huan sent cavalry to catch up...!"

"Cavalry?" Zhu Lingyue frowned and said, "How many troops are there? Don't worry, Chu Huan's cavalry is very small. Send an order to line up the grain carts as a defense to block the cavalry attack... Liu Quan, lead your cavalry around Go to the north, don't act rashly, wait until they come to attack, Ben Du will stand here, and then you will attack from the flank...!"

"Zhu Du...!" Liu Quan said with a wry smile, "They have five or six thousand cavalry, and they are going to kill them soon, it's too late...!"

"Five or six thousand cavalry?" Zhu Lingyue was taken aback. "How is it possible? Where does Chu Huan have so many cavalry? This... is this impossible?" There was no time for him to think too much. The Tianshan Army who had gathered at the side heard the sound from behind The sound of horseshoes, and it was said that Xiguan cavalry were chasing them up, and they were frightened. For a while, the Tianshan soldiers and horses that were still in formation collapsed in an instant, and the Tianshan soldiers and horses were already scattered and fled. Zhu Lingyue was startled and angry, and shouted loudly : "Stop, stop for the governor, don't be afraid, fight them, stop for the governor, whoever flees in front of the battle, there will be no mercy...!" Urging the horse forward, he slashed at a fleeing soldier, Blood splattered, but the Tianshan Army passed through the racecourse, and they were already chilled by being killed and defeated like a mountain. Their fighting spirit had completely collapsed in the racecourse. Zhu Lingyue shot and killed the deserters at this time, but it was of no avail. The soldiers and horses gathered along the way collapsed in an instant.

Originally, the 2000 troops of the food transportation team still had fighting spirit, but seeing their companions collapsed at this moment, no one wanted to stay to take the place of the dead. Most of the [-] troops under Ximenquan’s command also fled, and tens of thousands of civilians even scattered in an instant. The big peasants even picked up the food from the carts, and the carts and horses were scattered and discarded in the heavy rain.

Fortunately, the thousands of cavalry under Liu Quan did not flee, and at this moment, in the hazy heavy rain, the cavalry from behind had already appeared, Liu Quan hurriedly shouted: "Zhu Du, go, Zhu Du, go...!"

Without hesitation, Zhu Lingyue turned his horse's head and rushed west. Liu Quan had already led the cavalry and followed closely behind, taking advantage of the chaos and fleeing westward.

The cavalry led by Xu Shao came roaring like Mount Tai. In addition to the 3000 Xiguan cavalry, there were [-] Northwest cavalry and more than [-] Beishan cavalry under his command.

The purpose of this cavalry is naturally to seize the food and supplies of the Tianshan Army. Under the command of Xu Shao, Xu Shao originally thought that there would be a fight, but before the kill, the Tianshan Army had already collapsed. Except for some soldiers and horses who had no time to react and escape, they barely resisted and became the souls of the sword, but they did not encounter strong resistance.

Most of the people have dispersed, and the remaining people, except for some resisting and being killed, most of them also knelt down and surrendered. Naturally, the cavalry would not do anything to the civilian husbands. The cavalry shouted loudly to surrender and not to kill. It didn't take too long for the fighting to be over.

Xu Shao got off his horse and walked to the side of a carriage. The blade pierced into the sack, and rice grains flowed out from it. The convoy ordered the peasants of the Tianshan transport team to continue driving. He had seen the handsome Tianshan cavalry fleeing before, and after inquiring about it, he learned that Zhu Lingyue had just escaped, so he mobilized two thousand cavalry and led them in pursuit. The rest of the cavalry, protected Grain and supplies, waiting for the arrival of the main force.

Zhu Lingyue fled in the rain at this time. He didn't go far when he heard the sound of horseshoes from behind. He knew that the Xiguan cavalry was still chasing after him. Liu Quan also knew that if this continued, he would be caught up by the Xiguan army sooner or later. : "Mr. Zhu, the Xiguan army is chasing after us. We must divide our troops into two groups. The last general leads people to lead them away. Mr. Zhu goes south to avoid their pursuit."

Zhu Lingyue knew that this was the best way at the moment, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he nodded and agreed. He only brought more than 20 people and headed south, while Liu Quan led thousands of cavalry, and continued to go west, distracting the people behind him. pursue soldiers.

Zhu Lingyue took more than 20 people and ran southward. He didn't know how long he ran, and there was no more sound behind him. He knew that he had indeed thrown off the Xiguan pursuers, so he was relieved. At this moment, the people were exhausted and the cold rain was already wet His whole body had been in tension before, and he didn't feel anything yet. Now that he threw off the pursuers, his whole body was a little more relaxed, and he felt extremely cold all over his body. Looking around, he saw that there were only twenty people around him. They were all in a state of embarrassment, thinking of the majestic [-] troops at the time of the expedition, but now they were in such a state, sad and angry, suddenly felt dizzy, swayed, weak all over, and fell off the horse.
