Chapter 922: Ninety-Forty-Zero
And as soon as they walked west, the invading troops that were originally in front of them became on their flanks and behind, and these invading troops suddenly panicked, at a loss, and did not know what to do.
Since Li Zicheng was not here, so that there was no unified command, some generals of the invading army thought that this was an excellent opportunity and immediately chased after them with their subordinates. As soon as they chased, the intruding army in front of Dong Ce immediately loosened, from the dense just now to the current sparse. How could Dong Ce let go of this opportunity? With a wave of the big gun in his hand, he shouted: "Brothers, kill with me!" ”
After all, he and Alatan Ulla killed the two together. This time, it was much easier to break through the defense line in front of him than Fang Cai, and in a blink of an eye, he successfully broke through and caught up with Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao.
The three of them joined forces and continued to rush westward.
Such a series of changes made people dizzy, Li Zicheng looked at it, first dumbfounded, and then thundered!
He had already successfully walked around behind Dong Ce, and he was still very proud in his heart, and said secretly: "Even if you make peace with Cao Wenzhao, what can you do?" Your retreat has been cut off by me, and I see how you turn around and kill me again! ”
But he didn't expect that he had just cut off the retreat of others here, and they would not go this way directly. If you want to cut it off, cut it off, I won't come to you at all, I'll just fight my way out of the other direction!
Li Zicheng felt as if he had punched the other side hard, but it hit the air, and his heart was empty with a burst of blood churning, and he was uncomfortable.
He roared loudly: "Kill, kill, send orders to everyone, intercept them, and never let them rush out, which team is killed by them, and everyone who remains will die!" Lao Tzu has beheaded them all, go, go and give orders! ”
Li Zicheng roared at his heralds.
The heralds responded violently and dispersed to convey his orders, and the flag bearers behind him also kept raising their banners and ordered all departments to intercept them to death. It's just that if you want to fight hard now, you have to catch up with others first. At this time, most of the intruding troops could not catch up with Dong Ce and them at all. After this fierce battle, the army was also tired, and after Dong Ce and the three of them merged together, there were still about 2,000 troops. Although the strength of about 2,000 troops is still at an absolute disadvantage compared to the invading army, when any cavalry of the invading army faces them, the officers and troops have an advantage in battle.
What's more, at this time, the officers and soldiers are trying to survive!
Driven by the great desire for life, the elite soldiers under the three of them were all red-eyed, and any intrusive army that stood in front of them was swept away. Finally, after Dong Ce killed a cavalryman who stopped in front of him, he found that there was a sudden brightness in front of him, and there was no more intruder in front of him!
Not far away, you can even see the city wall of Zhenning County. They rushed to kill all the way, but they killed a long way, and they all reached the left near Zhenning County.
Dong Ce let out a long sigh of relief, relaxed for a while, and suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, and almost fell off the horse directly. Fang was extremely nervous and physically exhausted, and as soon as he relaxed at this time, this situation appeared. There was no pain in his body, and he couldn't even seem to lift the spear in his hand. He took a look at Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao next to him, and saw that Cao Wenzhao was in a similar situation to himself, while Cao Bianjiao was better, and he still seemed to have spare strength.
Dong Ce saw it, and he admired it in his heart. This Cao Changjiao has a hand in commanding battles, and his personal force is also quite powerful.
"Stop, stop, we can't continue to move forward, Zhenning County ahead has been occupied by thieves. I'm afraid that there are thieves left behind, and if we go further, it will be self-defeating. ”
Dong Ce's voice was already hoarse, and he shouted loudly: "General Cao, General Cao, we can't continue to the west, we have to go south, go south into Guanzhong, fifty miles ahead, is Sanshui County, as long as we get there, enter the county seat, these thieves will have nothing to do with us." ”
Cao Wenzhao nodded, but Cao Bianjiao frowned and said, "We are tired to death one or two now, and the war horses are almost unable to hold on, can we run more than fifty miles?" ”
He glanced back, his eyes full of worry: "Although the thieves have been thrown out by us quite far, they have a lot of horses, if there are fewer people to chase them, and with more war horses, they will be able to catch up." ”
"What General Cao said makes sense." Dong Ce first nodded, and then smiled wryly: "It's just that, General Cao doesn't have to worry, the last general has already made arrangements, and he will come with me." ”
When Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao heard him say this, they nodded in unison and immediately gave the order. Dong Ce risked his life to save them from the intruding army, they were very grateful to Dong Ce, and they also trusted Dong Ce, after all, if Dong Ce really had any bad intentions towards them, he didn't have to save them directly, why bother?
Besides, where else do they have to choose now?
As the order was delivered, these exhausted officers and soldiers, summoning up the last of their strength, turned around and headed south.
It's just that there is no enemy standing in front of them at this time, and all they have to do is run for their lives.
Fleeing a mile or two forward, bypassing a hill in front of him, there was a three-way intersection, and the three roads at this three-way intersection were facing north, south, and northeast, and the road facing north was the road where Dong Ce and the others came. On a wasteland next to the three-way intersection, however, a very simple small camp was set up in a circle with a low wooden fence. The camp was very small, and there were very few people in it, only about a dozen, but there were a lot of horses, four or five hundred!
Seeing these war horses, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew both had a flash of light in their eyes, Cao Wenzhao looked at Dong Ce and said with a smile: "Dong Yanshi, is this your backhand?" ”
He gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Awesome, really awesome!" ”
Cao Bianjiao also nodded again and again, agreeing with his uncle's statement.
They only knew their names before they ran for their lives all the way before, and they didn't even have time to report their names to each other, of course, Dong Ce knew their names, but they didn't know Dong Ce.
Dong Ce told them about his identity, official position, etc., but he didn't have time to say more, and he didn't say why he was here and saved them. Of course, Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew also had some doubts in their hearts, but now was not the time to ask this, so they endured it.
The highest of all Dong Ce's official positions was Yang Hewei's commander, so Cao Wenzhao called him this.
Dong Ce smiled: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's just a fluke." ”
Of course, he was humbling, in fact, Dong Ce was also very proud of the backhand he left behind at this time.
Dong Ce has about 300 people, but there are enough 800 horses, and it is naturally impossible to bring all of these horses, so when he took everyone to hide and ambush Dao Yutou Town yesterday, he also appointed more than a dozen people from the Chahar Department who had the best horse training and horse herding skills to come here with the extra war horses and set up a small camp. These people, these horses, are put here, naturally, for the purpose of settling, but more importantly, they are intended to be received.
Dong Ce had already guessed in advance that there would be a situation where the current people and horses were exhausted and couldn't run, if they didn't leave enough war horses, they would rescue Cao Wenzhao and the others, but I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of the intruding army.
So he's making this move here.
If he didn't leave these backers, how could Dong Ce dare to rescue Cao Wenzhao and others? He has always been an extremely cautious person, even if he wants to go hard, he will create enough advantages for himself to try his best to ensure safety before going.
And this place is a junction, as long as it is from the left to the south of Zhenning County, it will definitely come here. What Dong Ce thought at that time was that no matter whether he fled east or west or south, he could finally come here. As for the situation that he is forced to flee north, then Dong Ce has no choice. He can only do his best, but he cannot guarantee that everything will go as smoothly as he planned.
