Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 132 Escape ([-])

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps from far to near, and then the door was pushed open.Qiu Tianxing looked around, and the person who came was actually his brother-in-law Zhou Chaozhong.Zhou Chaozhong has been in charge of the Guards Battalion for several months, and he also has the style of a general. His originally thin body has gradually become thicker after exercise.I saw him walk into the room and knelt on one knee with his sword in hand, and then said loudly.

"Regimental Commander, the battle ahead has been defeated, please transfer to Yingshan with the regiment headquarters."

"What? Lost?" Hearing the bad news, Qiu Tianxing suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

"How could it fail? Didn't Zhang Chengwu lead the army to attack the Tartar camp when I just left, and the Tartar camp was crumbling?"

Seeing that Qiu Tianxing refused to believe it, although Zhou Chaozhong was in a hurry, he could only explain.

"The battalion commander Zhang led his men to storm the camp, but the Tartars first dispatched troops from the front line to guard the camp, and soon after the Tartars came to reinforce them, the thousands of cavalry defeated our reinforcements at once, and then the Tartars came to attack with nothing. Zhang Chengwu's troops and Battalion Commander Zhang's subordinates were defeated in one battle. Commander, hurry up, or it will be too late if you don't leave!"

"Defeated! Lost again!" Qiu Tianxing only felt bitterness in his mouth.He glanced back at Zhou Xiu's stomach, thought of his first child who died on the way to escape last year, and made up his mind.Commanded to Zhou Chaozhong.

"Commander Zhou! Hurry up and send more people to the homes of the chiefs and deputy chiefs of various departments, and bring them and their families. Also bring all the family members of the troops above the level of the captain. Hurry up, time is urgent, hurry up and make arrangements ! Bring as many as you can!"

After finishing speaking, Qiu Tianxing said hurriedly to Zhou Xiu again.

"Lady, let's go, don't pack anything."

The escape last year had already been deeply embedded in Zhou Xiu's mind, and it was unexpected that such a scene would happen again after more than a year.She didn't say much, although the most feared thing was about to happen again, but for the sake of her husband and the child in her womb, she would persevere.

After leaving the door with her husband and the surrounding guards, Zhou Xiu found that panicked people were everywhere on the street.Hearing that the front was defeated and the Tartars were about to enter the city, the whole city panicked.Everyone in the world knows about the fierce reputation of the Tartars.Under such great fear, some rushed towards the gate of the city with their family members just carrying some valuables before they could bring all their belongings, while some were reluctant to part with their belongings, wrapping them left and right, but accidentally The parcels were tied up and things fell all over the floor. In the end, I could only howl and cry in despair.This is the place where their ancestors lived for generations, and they would be like rootless duckweeds without knowing where they would go if they left here.Some old people simply put on their best clothes and stayed at home to wait for death.

There are too many people on the road, and the road out of the city is tightly blocked.Qiu Tianxing's team was also blocked and could not move at all.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Chaozhong became very anxious.The Tartars are about to enter the city, and if they don't go out, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out.Moreover, at this moment, the Tartar army was chasing and suppressing the routs outside. Once those routs were wiped out, the Tartars who spared their troops would definitely block all the city gates tightly.

When he found that pushing and pushing didn't work, Zhou Chaozhong finally became ruthless, and he ordered.

"Whoever dares to block the road will be cut off by me!"

As soon as the voice fell, there were bursts of screams from the crowd.In fact, people in Qiu Tianxing's team have seen it for a long time, but now is the time of defeat, everyone wants to fight for a way out, and no one wants to leave the way of life to others and the way of death to themselves.As a result, this escape channel was blocked.Although they didn't know that this was the guard of the regiment leader, they also knew that it was the team of the security regiment.Now, this group of security groups who kept saying that they were leading the anti-Tartar stabbed themselves in the back with knives, and everyone was furious.But even in anger, under the threat of their knives, a long and narrow road was opened up voluntarily or involuntarily.

Zhou Xiu couldn't bear to see it, and Qiu Tianxing was ashamed and didn't dare to look directly.Seeing this, Zhou Chaozhong said hurriedly in a low voice.

"Leader, don't be kind to women!"

Hearing Zhou Chaozhong's remonstrance, Qiu Tianxing took a deep breath, then pulled Zhou Xiu to take a step forward, and quickly followed the guards ahead who were constantly opening up a way out, never daring to look at the angry crowd on both sides.When they all passed, the rest of the people began to curse.It's just that when the shouts of fighting continued to come from the rear, these people no longer cared about cursing, but crowded and fled for their lives.

After leaving the city, Zhou Chaozhong asked, "Commander, where are we going next?"

After pondering for a moment, Qiu Tianxing said.

"Let's go to Yingshan. Yingshan is less than a hundred miles away from Anlu City. It can be reached in one day and one night, and there are six battalions of troops stationed in Yingshan."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Tianxing asked again.

"Where's Chief Zhou? Have you left the city yet?"

Hearing Qiu Tianxing's question, Zhou Chaozhong's eyes showed a trace of sadness.

"The subordinates have already sent someone to notify my father. I hope my father and mother will be lucky!"

Although ancient times required women to marry and follow their husbands, even if the husband's family and natal family were in conflict, Zhou Xiu still couldn't completely give up his affection for his parents.After her husband was a little safer, she began to worry about her parents.

"Is there anyone around to protect parents?" Zhou Xiu asked hastily.

"Sister, don't worry, I have already sent a squadron of soldiers to pick up my parents. Fortunately, I still had two brigades in my hands, otherwise it would be dangerous." Zhou Chaozhong hurriedly said in relief.

However, although Zhou Chaozhong had two brigades of troops before, after he was dispatched to protect the high-level security team from fleeing, there are less than 200 people still gathered around Qiu Tianxing.However, these hundreds of people are all loyal subordinates of Zhou Chaozhong, and Zhou Chaozhong eats and lives with them with confidence, and they are all alone and have deep hatred against the Tartars.So there is no need to worry that they will tie Qiu Tianxing halfway to ask for credit and reward from the Tartars.

Qiu Tianxing looked at the dust-covered soldiers beside him, and then looked back at Anlu City, which had only been the headquarters of the security regiment for more than four months, feeling aggrieved.In just over four months, the security regiment headquarters occupying the entire territory of De'an Prefecture was easily defeated by the Tartars, like a castle on the beach.Moreover, the Tartars also defeated reinforcements from Xinyang, Guangzhou, and Tongbai.It is foreseeable that the development of the security regiments in these three places will also slow down, and there is even the danger of losing their base areas.This defeat will be even more serious than Yingshan's defeat last time, and the security team will enter a period of overall low ebb.

Taking a last look at Anlu City, Qiu Tianxing clenched his fists and said with a voice that only he could hear.

"I, will come back."
