Chapter 648: Retreat to Qingshan
Everyone, including the people in the dilapidated camp of the Li Jiajun, did not notice that a cavalry appeared on the other side, the number was not too many, only about two thousand people, but the overall momentum was a little different from the puppet Qi rebels who had made a surprise attack just now, and it was obviously a cut higher.
When he was almost only a few hundred meters away from the camp, Lian Yong, who stayed in the camp, realized that another wave of pseudo-Qi rebels had appeared, and they were violent. And at this moment, almost everything that the Li Jiajun in the camp is doing is a positive performance after the battle.
The wounded soldiers began to treat their wounds with the support of their companions, and some of the uninjured soldiers gathered together and sat on the ground to rest, even the weapons they had with them were thrown out of reach, and some of them were gathering listlessly to complain to each other, most of them had just recovered from their dreams, and they didn't even know too much about the attack just now. Of all the men, only a small number of soldiers were busy around the walls and the broken horses, doing the most basic and basic defensive work.
"Encircle and suppress Tang thieves!! Kill the Tang thief!! ”
With a loud shout, the soldiers of the Li family army in the camp were finally completely awakened, including those soldiers who had just returned to normal, and they also held their weapons tightly in their hands in panic, and those who were sitting on the ground to rest began to be confused and only subconsciously looking for their own weapons, the most tragic thing was that the group of soldiers who originally wanted to do something good for everyone and worked diligently near the wall, because of the first wave of attacks by the puppet Qi rebels, all fell on them.
Lian Yong's troops at this moment are only more than 1,000 points, many of them are still people with different minor and serious injuries, and the personnel are extremely scattered, so that Lian Yong is unable to organize an effective defense in the first place. The Li family's defense line was sloppy and slack, and it was even almost a virtual reality, so that it did not cause any obstacle to another wave of pseudo-Qi rebels.
The general led by the puppet Qi is the second eldest of the Zhang brothers who divided their troops to ambush in the area of Xiaqing Mountain early in the morning, Zhang Guihou, these two thousand people, can be regarded as the descendants of Zhang Guihou from the Fengzhou front, and in the current puppet Qi army, it can be regarded as a rare elite division.
The cavalry under Zhang Guihou not only broke into the camp of the Li family army as if they were in a no-man's land, but also carried out a crazy torture and killing of the Li family army soldiers in the camp, in their hands, there were flammable things such as pine oil, as the pine oil and bundles of branches and firewood were thrown into the camp tents, the soldiers in the rear of the army were like magic, and lit the torches that had been prepared on the side of the saddle, and threw them out without hesitation, and the fires burned in the camp of the Li family army.
"Resist the enemy first! Leave the fire alone! Kill the enemy first! ”
Seeing that more and more flames appeared around him, even Yong was anxious to cry, but there were still many soldiers who ran desperately in the direction of their camps, and even some soldiers had rushed into their camps without scruples.
"Help me! Save me.. ”
"Help! Help me! ”
"General! Help me, I don't want to die! ”
"Ah!。。 Help me! ”
In addition to the soldiers' own fires, there are also some cruel pseudo-Qi soldiers who will deliberately throw pine oil and torches at their opponents, and when they listen to the cries and wails around them, they will even show a satisfied smile, and even let out arrogant and proud laughter.
But everything in the camp, in the eyes of Lian Yong or the rest of the soldiers, is extremely cruel, Lian Yong once saw a soldier not far away, full of fire rushing to one of his companions to try to ask for help, but in the end was a ruthless knife from his companion.
There are also people, with fire all over their bodies, their hearts are full of extreme fear, accompanied by burning pain all over their bodies, waving their arms aimlessly and wandering around, even Yong also saw with his own eyes that a team under his command was cut off by the rebel cavalry who suddenly appeared behind him with a sharp knife to cut off more than half of his head, even so, the headless corpse was still struggling in pain after falling to the ground, the pain of being burned, even if there was a trace of nerve will, was extremely unbearable.
But at this moment, behind the camp of the Li family's army, the reinforcements sent by Li Jian, who was located on the mountainside, finally arrived, and several well-prepared cavalry regiments galloped all the way down the slope of the mountain, and rushed directly into the burning camp without any scruples.
It's just that what makes Li Jiajun unwilling is that when Li Jian's reinforcements arrived, Zhang Guihou, who had completed the arson, had already ordered a retreat, and in this raid, the number of puppet Qi rebels who killed and injured Li Jiajun was not much, but it burned the results of thousands of Li Jiajun's thousands of hard work for more than half a day, a simple camp, and burned it clean.
The wounded Li Jian did not pursue the retreating Zhang Guihou, but quickly regrouped the cavalry and rushed to the outside of the camp, and at the same time ran into Li Xiaofeng, who had just gathered the army and rushed back to the barracks. Looking at the burned camp, Li Xiaofeng and Li Jian looked at each other speechlessly, wanting to cry without tears, just sitting silently on horseback, staring at the fire in front of them with dull eyes.
The rebels of the puppet Qi did retreat this time, and the retreat was very thorough, within ten miles of the vicinity, the scouts of the Li family army did not find any trace of the rebels of the puppet Qi, but at the same time, Li Xiaofeng's camp could not continue to be repaired, and after the discussion of Li Huangshu and others who arrived later, it was decided to temporarily abandon the camp at the foot of the mountain, and combine Li Xiaofeng and Li Jian to occupy the advantage of the high place on the mountainside to defend against the puppet Qi rebels.
In fact, this approach is also understandable for the moment, after all, if the puppet Qi rebels want to attack the Li Jiajun on the mountainside, the charging power of their cavalry will be greatly reduced, on the contrary, the cavalry of the Li Jiajun can greatly improve their combat effectiveness. It's just that after a long time, Uncle Li Huang and others were horrified to find that there were only two roads in Xiaqing Mountain that could be passed, and the other one had been the only henchman general under Huang Chao, the boss of the Zhang family's brothers, Zhang Guiba led the troops to do an all-round blockade, plus some natural barriers, it was not at all a few lines of defense that the Li family army on Xiaqing Mountain could break through.
