After kicking down the ginseng fruit of others, in the middle of the night, Sha Seng carried the burden, Bajie led the horse, and Wukong tiptoed in front of him, probing his brain

The moonlight in the sky was obscured by the clouds, and the night wind blew through the corners of the city, making a soft whistling sound, and from time to time there was a howl of wild wolves outside the city. The north gate of Louvier City was silently opened, Fang Ge and the others were like Tang monks and apprentices who fled at night, some led horses, some carried boats, some carried wounded comrades, some explored the road in front, and some held guns on both sides, and the group carefully and quickly rushed out of the north gate of Louvier City.

The city of Louvières is located on the south bank of the Seine, and the north gate is only 100 meters from the riverbank, which is why Vanlitte did not attack from the north gate during the day, because it is too close to the river to advance or retreat.

"Lighter, lighter, faster!" Fang Ge looked forward and backwards, and kept urging softly.

Far away from the east of the city came the dull sound of horses' hooves, which was evidently wrapped in cloth, and it was the sound that was so light and muffled that everyone's hearts were stirred, and everyone could not help praying secretly that the enemy's scouts would not come this way;

Seventeen wounded comrades were also carried on the stretcher, and in this case, once discovered by the enemy, it would be miserable.

But the heavens won't always favor you, and the enemy's scouts eventually came this way, and they approached so quickly that the soldiers on the right raised their guns. Because of the darkness of the night, I could not see the enemy, but the muzzle of the gun was aimed in the direction from which the hoofs came.

Fang Ge suppressed his voice and said eagerly: "Put down the gun, put down the gun, use the bow and arrow"

Several soldiers immediately picked up their guns and took off their bows and arrows to meet them. The movement was swift and silent, and the rabbit disappeared into the night ahead of him in a moment of his disappearance.

In a few moments, a soft bowstring sound was heard from dozens of paces away, followed by a scream, which seemed particularly piercing in the silence of the night;

Fang Ge couldn't help but curse secretly, but he also knew that there was no way to do it, the enemy was riding a horse, and it was impossible for you to wipe your throat with a knife. Shooting with a bow and arrow, even if an arrow is fatal, it will inevitably cause a scream.

"Run, run, run!"

At this time, there was no need to care much, everyone accelerated and ran towards the river, and a soldier carrying a small boat accidentally fell, and the boat hit the ground. There was another loud bang.

"Hurry up, hurry up" Fang Ge was like an ant on a hot pot, so anxious that his heart was pinched together.

A few miles away, the enemy's camp was already lit up with a large fire. The enemy scouts patrolling around the city of Louvier also rushed towards the place where the screams were made.

The enemy was all cavalry, and they moved quickly, once they were caught up by the enemy in time. The consequences are unimaginable.

Thankfully, the North Gate is only 100 meters away from the River Sevi, and there is a pier by the river. It was not the muddy beach, where small boats were quickly put into the water, the seriously wounded and ammunition were put into the boats, and everyone worked together in pairs, racing against time, and one by one the small boats quickly sailed off the shore and headed for the other side of the Seine.

Fang Ge is a marine, water-based, swimming kung fu is even better, there are not many boats, only enough to carry the wounded, no injured marines, or take a plank, or hold a water jug, or hold a leather bag, or lead a horse, have rushed into the dark river, struggling to swim to the opposite bank, for a while, there are bursts of rushing water in the river

From the side of the French camp, a large area of firelight swept close in the rumbling hooves, but when Van Rit led his troops to the river, Fang Ge and they had already swam to the opposite bank, and the unwilling French troops released their guns on the bank, but on the river in the dark night, there was no shadow of the Qin army.

"Cross the river as far as you can, they can't run far, you must catch up with them" Van Litte was very annoyed, in the next battle of Louvier City, he lost more than 400 people, if you let the Qin people escape like this, it is better to directly hit the wall and die.

It's just that he is with the army, and he doesn't know much about water, and there are war horses, so he has to find a boat to cross the river, and it is impossible for the Qin army to keep the boat in Lu Wei City in the middle of the night, where can he find a boat to cross the river with thousands of men and horses?

"Letter to the town of Katmon, go there and find a boat to cross the river, chase!"

With a loud roar, Van Rit galloped with a few thousand cavalry to the town of Catemon, which was about fifty miles from the city of Catemon, where it was possible to find a boat for a few thousand cavalry to cross the river.

Van Rit led his army in a hurry through the night, and when he arrived at the town of Catmon, it was already dawn, and he roared and ordered the soldiers to collect the boats, but there were not enough large ships, and he removed the door panels of the town, and connected some small boats into large platforms, and this time he was busy, and it was almost noon, and the more than 3,000 cavalry began to cross the river, and by the time all the horses had crossed the north bank of the Seine, it was already evening.

Fearing that the Qin envoy would flee, Van Litte hastily ate dry bread for his soldiers, set out overnight, and chased down the north bank of the Seine River with torches.

Along the way, he repeatedly sent scouts to inquire about the whereabouts of the Qin mission, and at the same time ordered the French troops in the surrounding towns to search for them.

However, the strange thing is that until he ran to the north bank of Louvier in the middle of the night, he still did not hear any trace of the Qin mission;

Van Ritte did not believe in evil, and asked the nearby French people one by one, and even whipped them with whips, but they couldn't ask a reason, and all the people had only one answer, and they didn't see any Qin envoys at all.

Van Rit was a little dumbfounded, if one or a few people said this, they could also suspect that they were slingers, deliberately covering up the whereabouts of the Qin State Mission and causing trouble for themselves, but even the women and children were under duress, and said that they didn't see it, then it didn't seem to be lying.

What's going on, can the Qin State Mission disappear out of thin air?

"Chase, continue to chase downstream!" Vanlit, who was full of doubts, continued to chase downstream along the north bank of the Seine River with his cavalry, sending more scouts along the way, but until noon the next day, the Qin delegation was still flying and did not even find a shadow;

Calculating the distance, the Qin army is all infantry, and there are wounded, and it is already the limit to be able to walk fifty or sixty miles a day, and now he has chased down hundreds of miles along the north bank, and still has not found any trace of the Qin State mission, is it that he is chasing in the wrong direction?

Could the Qin mission not go west along the Seine? How is this possible, they can only escape if they go down the river to Le Havre, if they go north here is France, with their few men and horses, and a large number of officials, they will only get farther and farther away from Le Havre if they go north, don't they want to escape?

Countless questions swirled in Vanlit's mind, making his mind full of messiness, and he asked a few of his subordinates to discuss, and everyone felt like him, it was incredible.

In the end, Van Elite decided to divide a thousand men and horses to pursue them north, and even sent another 500 men to investigate back, because he was worried that he would be in a hurry and overrun. This is not impossible, maybe after the Qin envoy crossed the river, they did not go far at all, but took advantage of the night to hide somewhere, and they didn't find it for a while, so it was necessary to send someone back to find it.

Van Ritte himself with about 2,000 men and horses, and continued to chase down the Seine, he figured it out, even if he couldn't find the Qin envoy for the time being, it didn't matter, as long as he controlled the four Qin warships in the port of Le Havre, no matter how the Qin envoy escaped, it would be difficult to escape from France.

Fang Ge, where did they suddenly hide? In fact, Van Limu was purely misled by their crossing of the river, Fang Ge and the others did not really cross the other bank to flee for their lives, that night under the cover of night, after they crossed to the middle of the Seine, they went down the river, and after seeing the French army leaving with torches, they swam back to the south bank.

Van Lit's mind couldn't turn for a while, thinking that they had crossed the river to the north bank, and in this case, how could you possibly find Fang Ge and his gang on the north bank.

There is no way, sometimes once a person drills the tip of the horns, he really can't drill it out for a while.

When they returned to the south bank, they tried to disguise their whereabouts as much as possible, and ran wildly in the direction of Le Havre, and when they reached the town of Antru, more than a hundred miles from Louvière, they heard thick black smoke rising from the other side of the town, and there was a faint sound of fighting in the wind.

Li Pan said in surprise: "Look, everyone, could this be General Pang coming to pick us up?" ”

Li Pan's roar lifted everyone's spirits, in this foreign country, to be able to look forward to reinforcements, that feeling is difficult to describe in words, everyone can't help but want to cry
