Chapter 129: The Great Melee (2)
***
There are 100,000 troops participating in the war in Laohukou, there are also 20,000 horses fighting in Bashupo, and there is even more chaos in Yuanzhou City, 9,000 Jiangxi soldiers, more than 20,000 left troops, 670,000 people in Yuanzhou City, and 50,000 people are twisted together.
Now Qin Mu's 1,000 strong troops have also entered the city, which is equivalent to suddenly pouring a scoop of cold water on the boiling oil pot, and it didn't let the entire Yuanzhou City explode.
In this chaotic bone joint, on a high slope in the northwest corner of Yuanzhou City, there is a team of hundreds of cavalry, like a ghost emerging from the side of the slope, the first is a woman in red, this woman is about 20 years old, slender, twin peaks straight, delicate and heroic, a red dress makes her look like a burning flame.
The hundreds of centaurs behind her were all dressed in ordinary people's clothes, but all of them exuded a fierce aura, looking at wolves.
If Li Xiangjun was here, he would definitely be able to recognize the woman in red at a glance as the female general of Li Zicheng's army. There are two sturdy men beside the red lady, one is called Ghost Sanyue, and the other is called Xing Lao Qi.
Looking at the chaotic Yuanzhou City, as well as the dead and wounded people everywhere, the red lady frowned slightly, and she didn't know what to think in her heart;
The old man of the sentence held the Yanling knife in his hand, and said disdainfully: "It's really a crime made by heaven and forgiven, and you can't live by yourself, Zhang Xianzhong's 200,000 army is storming the tiger's mouth, and the city of Yuanzhou is still biting a dog. ”
Ghost San jumped and said: "According to me, the king shouldn't go to Shaanxi, how good Jiangnan is, damn it, look at these wastes, if our Dashun army kills it, it won't be devastating and invincible." Taking Jiangnan is like drinking water, but now it's good, it's all cheap Zhang Xianzhong. ”
"Yes, as soon as Yuanzhou is broken, the whole Jiangxi is Zhang Xianzhong's, people's wings are hard, let's say a few cruel words and want to make people obediently bow their heads, but it is Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu refuses, and the king doesn't know what to think."
"You two don't say a word, and no one thinks you're dumb. What does the king think, do you have to make irresponsible remarks about you? The red lady suddenly scolded, and the two big men suddenly stopped talking, not daring to contradict each other.
"Huh!" The red lady suddenly exclaimed, because a large number of war horses poured out of the north gate of Yuanzhou at this time, which made people feel quite unusual.
A large number of war horses continued to pour out, and they had been rushing near the north gate, and the more than 100 cavalry who were trying to control the north gate immediately rushed out of the war horses to the north, accompanied by countless ordinary people. Under the organization of this cavalry, the order of those people became better, and some even took the initiative to go up to help lead the horses north.
"Sister Hong, they're wary of us." The old man pointed with his hand. The hundred cavalry outside the north gate were already thin, but at this time, half of the men and horses were still separated, and they rushed to a place more than a mile away from the high slope where the red lady was, vigilantly on guard.
"As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke us. Just ignore him, let everyone pay attention, and don't do anything provocative. The red lady gave an order to the old seven.
Ghost San jumped to his lips and said, "Sister Hong." This is thousands of war horses, or we will do his vote, and we can grab as many as we can. ”
"Aren't you messy enough? The king sent us to spread the word, originally to make Zhang Xianzhong have scruples and not dare to enter Jiangxi, lest the entire Jiangnan be taken away by him, so that he has the capital to fight against the king. At the moment, you are still adding to the chaos, isn't this a great favor for Zhang Xianzhong? ”
Ghost Sanyue muttered a little unwillingly: "Let's not add to the chaos, I don't think Yuanzhou can hold it, let's not want this horse, maybe it will be cheaper in the future Zhang Xianzhong." ”
"Don't say a few words, it's right to listen to Sister Hong."
The red lady was too lazy to talk to them, and continued to look at the situation outside the city of Yuanzhou, only to see that after thousands of war horses poured out, thousands of people followed the gushing out, this group of people and the original people who escaped out of the city are a little different, the original escape is mostly old and weak women and children, and this group is mostly young and strong men, each holding knives, guns, wooden sticks and other various weapons.
And behind these people, there is a group of well-organized, murderous officers and soldiers, they fought and retreated, zuihou when the black background red characters "Qin" exit the north gate, the people outside the city suddenly let out bursts of shouts.
"Lord Qin, Lord Qin"
"Lord Qin is out, Lord Qin."
“”
The most heard by the red lady is the three words "Lord Qin", from the shouts of tens of thousands of people, it is not difficult to hear that they have placed deep feelings and hopes on this Lord Qin.
Qin Mu was stained with blood, and he didn't know whether it was his own or the enemy, and he took a thousand men and horses who withdrew from the city to line up a hundred steps outside the moat, at this time the north gate tower had also been controlled by the left army, and the rain of arrows shot down from the city tower in bursts, and Shi Dasheng, the general of the left army, led thousands of men and horses, and was desperately pursuing out, trying to defeat Qin Mu and recapture the war horse.
Qin Mu took Liu Meng and Huo Sheng as the left and right wings, and constantly launched a counter-charge against the left army that crossed the moat suspension bridge.
In the direction of Bashupo, a scout horse rushed over, and reported to Qin Mu with a roar: "My lord, my lord, Feng Xi has captured Bashuling, Hu Yan's three thousand men and horses have retreated to the south of the cage mountain, Feng Xi's more than 10,000 men and horses are killing towards Yuanzhou, my lord!" In the middle of the sentence, an arrow from the castle tower struck the Sentry's mount, and the mount leaped into its feet, and the Sentry fell from his horse with a scream.
Qin Mu rushed up to help him up, and asked urgently, "What about the tiger's mouth, how is the battle situation in the tiger's mouth now?" Say it! ”
"My lord, the battle situation in the tiger's mouth has not yet been decided, Zhang Xianzhong has pressed everyone down, Wu Xueli's army is shaken, I'm afraid it won't last long."
"Probe, probe!" Qin Mu shouted, the detective changed to a war horse, and galloped away, Qin Mu yelled at Huo Sheng: "Huo Sheng, take your men and horses to organize the people to withdraw quickly, and build a new defense line on the ridge of five miles to the north, quickly, here we will take the top first, let Huang Lianshan take Qingzhuang to help you, hurry up!" ”
"Yes, sir." Huo Sheng responded and galloped away with his three hundred men and horses, and there were about 20,000 people who escaped from the city and were about to follow Qin Mu, who were fleeing north in a chaotic group, and the scene was chaotic.
At this moment, there were bursts of yellow dust rising from the west, and soon more than 10,000 left troops rushed towards them, but they did not rush towards Qin Mu, but rushed impatiently into the west gate of Yuanzhou. The left army at the north gate didn't understand what was going on, thinking that the reinforcements had returned, and their morale had greatly increased, and they launched a more violent attack on Qin Mu.
Qin Mugang led the army to repel a wave of impact from the left army, and there were detectives in the west rushing back, "My lord, the big thing is not good, the tiger's mouth can't be defended, Wu Xueli left 10,000 horses and horses, and he returned to Yuanzhou with the rest of the army." ”
"What? Where is Wu Xueli, did the rebels rush over? ”
"My lord, it's too chaotic, anyway, the west is full of Wu Xueli's soldiers, and there are rebels everywhere, and the brothers can't be contacted, even if they find something, they can't rush in, my lord"
"Withdraw! Liu Meng, retreat quickly, retreat from the side of the battle, retreat quickly. ”
Qin Mu led the army and retreated, blocking behind 20,000 people and thousands of war horses, the pursuit of the left army was not the most terrifying, what really gave Qin Mu a headache was more than 20,000 people, these people were all coming to him Qin Mu's name, eager for him to protect and escape. Seeing a pair of expectant eyes and listening to the calls, Qin Mu couldn't give up on these people for a while.
From the point of view of speculation, it is not wise to abandon these people unless he has to do so, because as long as he succeeds in keeping these people, his good name will spread all over Jiangxi in the future and will be supported by hundreds of people;
On the other hand, if he easily abandoned these people, his reputation would be no different from that of other warlords. What's more, the thousands of war horses he took a huge risk to get are now led by the people to retreat north, and these thousands of war horses are too important to him;
Once this batch of war horses can be successfully transported, Qin Mu can immediately start to form thousands of cavalry, which will have an immeasurable effect on future development.
Now the people are helping to lead the horses, and the people and horses are mixed together, and giving up the people is equivalent to giving up the war horses, unless Qin Mu slaughters 20,000 people in turn.
