Chapter 431: New Day
Chapter 434
Since leaving Chang'an City, Lin Shaoyu felt like a bird with broken wings. Once upon a time, soaring for nine days, soaring into the sky, the world is nowhere to go. But now he can only jump on the ground, and the speed of jumping is not fast.
With 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight Chang'an, when Chang'an City was defeated, the soldiers were lost, and half of all the soldiers and horses remained. When he was driven out of Chang'an by the princes of all walks of life, he lost half of it. Along the way, they were surrounded and intercepted by soldiers and horses from all walks of life, fighting back and forth, and the soldiers under them fled to death, and there were only three or four thousand people left who were still following Lin Shaoyu.
The Youzhou base camp has been taken, and Lin Shaoyu is no longer able to get it back, so he can only take 3,000 remnants of soldiers to start a guerrilla war with the imperial soldiers in Bingzhou.
At the beginning, Lin Shaoyu broke through and arrived at the foot of Chang'an, and the soldiers of Bingzhou can be said to hate him to the core. When he was caught, he was beaten to death. The two sides had seen several battles with each other, and the fighting was so badly that the righteous army, after leaving behind the bodies of some of their comrades, fled in disarray.
Defeat, death, wounds, hunger, cold, etc. were tormenting this army, and at the same time, a certain distrust of Lin Shaoyu spread among the ranks.
Perhaps, he is not a destiny general, even if he is, but it is very likely that the omnipotent toad god has abandoned him, and he is no longer worth following.
On this day and night, the rebels camped in a mountain col in Bingzhou, and in the dark mountains, black shadows lay on the ground, cherishing this rare opportunity to rest.
In order to avoid being discovered by the emperor, there was no fire in the camp, and everyone could only rely on the thin clothes on their bodies to resist the cold.
Lin Shaoyu sat on a big rock, with a gun on his lap, and sat there with his eyes closed.
It was the sound of footsteps breaking through the dead branches, and Lin Shaoyu opened his eyes and saw Lin Chong approaching here.
"Shaoyu. ”
Lin Chong took out a linen wrap from his arms, and inside were two steamed buns, which were stained with some blood.
"Shaoyu, you can eat something. ”
Lin Shaoyu waved his hand: "Take it down and give it to the wounded soldiers, they need this more." ”
"But your body, how can you do without eating. Besides......" Lin Chong took a step closer and whispered, "Besides, some people, even if they eat, can't survive." ”
Lin Shaoyu was stunned, and the hand that was pushed out was frozen in the air, and he didn't know what to say. The team lacked medical care and medicine, and sometimes in the middle of the road, a good man fell on the road and could no longer stand up.
Lin Chong forced a steamed bun in his hand and said, "Eat, it's good for everyone if you eat it." ”
Lin Shaoyu took a bite, and there was an earthy smell in his mouth, which was as unbearable as chewing soil. He was stunned for a long time and said, "You say, did we do something wrong?"
Lin Chong shook his head: "There must be an explanation for the death of the master, now that we have avenged the master, even if we die immediately, it is worth it." ”
"Yes, it's worth dying right away. Lin Shaoyu sighed and said, "But we are still alive now." ”
"Shaoyu, what are your plans for the next step?"
As soon as Guo Furen died, the rebel army was left without strategists. In the current situation where the army is defeated like a mountain and the people are panicking, Lin Chong is the only one who can discuss countermeasures. Lin Chong is a fierce general on the battlefield, but he is really not handsome.
"Now the entire empire is going to kill us, Youzhou is gone, and there is no place for us in the whole world. The only place we could go to was there. Lin Shaoyu's gaze looked to the northwest: "Only Liangzhou is left." ”
"Liangzhou, Qinchuan Pass?"
Lin Shaoyu nodded.
"But if we want to get there, we have to pass through a lot of cities along the way, and I'm afraid we won't be able to support this far. "Lin Chong.
"Passing from the borders of the empire, naturally, is not easy. Lin Shaoyu said: "So we broke through the border pass, walked the grassland, and went directly to Qinchuan Pass." ”
Lin Chong thought for a moment: "We have no food. ”
"Those who rob the Rong tribe on the road can always arrive. ”
Lin Chong's eyes turned around, as if he was worried that the following words would be heard by outsiders: "Shaoyu, even if you can grab food, there are many people who can't support it." Simply, some wounded soldiers were left behind, so that there was a slight possibility of rushing to Qinchuan Pass. ”
Hearing Lin Chong's words, Lin Shaoyu fell silent, and after a long time, he nodded lightly.
......
And as Cheng Dalei expected, the empire was in a mess, and the tribes on the grassland were also fighting each other.
Rong tribe, redstone tribe.
This grassland is ruled by the Northern Barbarian Tribe, and in the entire Northern Barbarian Tribe, the Red Stone Division is really a tribe that is too small to be smaller. The whole tribe can surpass the men with the height of the whip, but there are only fifty or sixty people.
It was the Rong Lieyang tribe that attacked them.
In terms of the entire Northern Barbarian Division, the Lieyang Department is actually not big. But the resources on the grassland can only allow one tribe to live, so whether it is the Burning Sun Department or the Red Stone Department, one of them must die.
The battle began at the beginning of the morning mist, when the Sunmen, riding on fiery horses, broke into the camp of the Redstone Division. The screams of the first person before he died kicked off the battle, and a round of red sun poked out his head from the east.
Men charge on horses, women fight with sticks, and toddlers weep in pools of blood.
Black Goose, the leader of the Redstone Tribe, fights the enemy with a wooden stick. The surroundings were opened, and it was difficult for seven or eight people to get closer.
But the black goose can only protect himself, he saw his children being dragged behind the horse's buttocks, strangled to death, and his wife and daughter being snatched by the enemy on the horse's back, let out a scream.
With no calculations, the Sun Tribes soon approached victory in this battle. Men are killed, women are taken away along with cattle and sheep, and in the grassland, one cow can be exchanged for two women.
The black goose fell into despair, of course, he also robbed others in this way, and his wife used this method to rob him.
At this moment, a black horse in the distance came along the river and stopped as it approached the battlefield.
The leader of the Sun Tribe, who had just been victorious, noticed him. The other party is not very old, his expression is very calm, and he still looks very thin. The only surprise was that one eye was blind and covered with a black cloth.
"Boy, what tribe are you from?" asked Sun Xiong, the leader of the Sun Clan.
"Chief, just kill him, snatch his horse, I like his horse. A man from the Burning Sun Department said.
Instead of answering his question, the one-eyed boy asked, "Will you let me be our leader?"
The scorching sun beared, and then a group of people laughed. The boy didn't react, just looked at the other party calmly, as if waiting for the other party to laugh enough.
"Whoever goes with me to kill him, the horse is his. ”
"Hey, boy, your head and horse are mine. ”
A strong man galloped on horseback, and the one-eyed boy raised the corner of his eye slightly.
