On the peak on the left side of Yaoshan Mountain Road, the conduct officer Li Jiwen was looking nervously down the mountain. He suddenly noticed that the roar of bird cannons and the faint sound of fighting over there gradually subsided, and a mixture of joy and fear suddenly appeared on his face. Complex expressions together.
The commander on the side, Hu Zongming, also had a complicated look on his face. He was talking to Tang Jingming, the defense officer of the Jiaozhou Qianhu Station, and Ji Xianhai, the defense officer of the Zhongqianhu Station. The three of them talked for a while, and then they all looked at Li Jiwen.
"grown ups?"
Hu Zongming asked tentatively: "Sir, the situation on the Yaoshan mountain road is unknown. Do you need me to wait for my subordinates to call in the army? Let's gather the troops and go over there to take a look?"
"What are you looking at! Liu Baihu is leading his troops to block the majority of the Qing army. What are you looking for!"
Li Jiwen glared at Hu Zongming angrily. Ye Bujie, whom he had sent out before, was nowhere to be seen. He either ran away halfway or was killed by the Qing army. There were more than a hundred Qing troops on the Yaoshan mountain road, but how many were there actually? I'm afraid I only know!
At this time, Li Jiwen just wanted to gather people to stay here and wait until the situation was clearly understood before making a decision. If Liu Yan really lost to the Qing army, Li Jiwen would not be willing to stay here, and all the troops would have to protect him and escape back.
So Li Jiwen calmed down and said to Hu Zongming, Tang Jingming, and Ji Xianhai: "Look around you, this is a battleground for military strategists, and there is no room for failure! You three, please work harder, and immediately take the lead." Soldiers and horses are guarding everywhere to prevent the Qing army from attacking!"
"In addition, all the night guards from various ministries must be sent out, and people must be sent to explore the Yaoshan Mountain Road and the opposite peaks.
News, do you understand? "
The three of them looked at each other. Is this a battleground for military strategists?
However, the three of them were all human beings, so they naturally understood the connotation of Li Jiwen's words. They all clasped their fists and accepted the order, and went to reorganize their troops.
Seeing that Hu Zongming, Tang Jingming, and Ji Xianhai were very knowledgeable, Li Jiwen looked at the direction of the Yaoshan Mountain Road, and then looked at the opposite peak on the right, thinking to himself: "Perhaps Zhang Hailin led his troops to succeed in the pincer attack. ? If this is the case, this person is really a strong general, and I really want to use him again in the future."
While Li Jiwen was making random guesses about whether Liu Yan's troops were defeated by the Qing troops, or Liu Yan led his troops to repel the Qing troops, Zhang Hailin was also confused.
"Can't wait any longer!"
Zhang Hailin was naturally not as calm as Li Jiwen. At this time, there was no movement on the Yaoshan Mountain Road, and Zhang Hailin became worried. After all, Liu Yan is his subordinate. If he wins, he will share the merits. If he loses, he, as a superior officer, will have to follow him and have no chance of entering Lingshan Acropolis in the future.
So Zhang Hailin said to Wang Wenzhen, Jia Hongyu, Song Gongming, Dai Jingbin and others: "Gather all the troops immediately and follow me towards the Yaoshan Mountain Road!"
Everyone looked troubled. Wang Wenzhen and Jia Hongyu could remain silent, but Song Gongming and Dai Jingbin were different. They stood up to dissuade them. They didn't want to lead their troops there and just wanted to withdraw from here at any time.
But Zhang Hailin already regretted it. If he could have led his troops to attack just now, maybe the battle would have ended by now, and he could really defeat the Qing army with Liu Yan, but now
It's too late.
"I asked you to gather troops and horses, don't you understand? Do you want me to do it again?"
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to mobilize their troops and horses, but the speed of the troops and horses gathering was extremely slow.
Under Zhang Hailin's repeated urging, Wang Wenzhen, Jia Hongyu, Song Gongming, Dai Jingbin and other talents gathered their troops one after another. More than a thousand soldiers and horses at the Qianhu Station in front of Xiahe Village were divided into several groups and assembled in the mountains and forests.
Zhang Hailin immediately gave the order to set off, and the army marched slowly towards the mountain road of Yaoshan. The originally arranged formation soon became twisted due to the terrain and trees. In the end, most of the soldiers and horses even The basic formations are gone, and these more than a thousand people are just herding sheep in the forest."
At this time, Zhang Hailin was anxious and couldn't care about so much. He didn't even order Ye Bushou to go ahead and investigate the situation. He just kept urging the ministries to speed up and march towards the Yaoshan Mountain Road.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the soldiers and horses in front, and then Zhang Hailin saw many soldiers turning around and running back. Many soldiers shouted in fear: "Qing Army! It's the Qing Army's cavalry, the Qing Army is coming!" "
At this moment, more than a thousand soldiers and horses at the Qianhu Station in front of Xiahe Village suddenly exploded. Almost all the soldiers scrambled and started running back. The mountain forest suddenly became a mess.
Under the protection of Jia Hongyu and more than a hundred servants, Wang Wenzhen ran directly towards the mountain. Everyone left all their baggage behind, and the Dunjun who followed them could no longer care about it. Now There are Qing troops coming to kill you, who will marry whom?
Song
Gong Ming ran faster. He originally brought 300 soldiers and horses, including fifty servants. These people were all accumulated by the Song family in the ancient town for many years, and they were all put to use at this time. .
I saw three hundred soldiers and horses protecting Song Gongming and then turned around and ran away. Anyone who blocked the way in front, whether they were ordinary Dunjun soldiers or other officers, would be massacred. These three hundred soldiers and horses actually used their swords and guns to cut through the crowd. He dug out a passage, protected Song Gongming and plunged into the mountains, and soon disappeared.
As for Dai Jingbin, although he wanted to run away at this moment, the 150 servants under his direct control were all Zhang Hailin's confidants. Even if Dai Jingbin wanted to run away, he couldn't take these servants with him.
So Dai Jingbin had no choice but to lead his troops to protect Zhang Hailin and retreat quickly. However, at this time, the army of thousands of people was completely in chaos, and the Qing army's cavalry could even be seen from behind.
Dai Jingbin looked back and saw dozens of Qing cavalry driving and killing the Ming soldiers behind. The arrogant laughter and vulgar language even reached Dai Jingbin's ears, and he knew how many Qing troops were behind him. The cavalry are coming.
"Damn Liu Yan, isn't he a strong general? Doesn't he have an army of a thousand men? Why can't he stop the Qing army!"
Dai Jingbin was yelling and cursing while protecting Zhang Hailin from escaping. However, at this time, Zhang Hailin was still thinking about his future and did not believe that Liu Yan's troops had been defeated like this, so he roared loudly and even wanted to prevent the army from being defeated. They waited patiently for Liu Yan to arrive with his troops.
"Defend on the spot! Defend on the spot! When Liu Baihu's Wangjiazhuang elite arrive, under attack from both inside and outside, this battle can be turned into a
Win! "
But Zhang Hailin's roar had no effect. Countless Ming troops passed by Zhang Hailin in defeat, but no one stopped. Everyone was running for their lives and ignored Zhang Hailin at all.
"grown ups!"
Dai Jingbin looked back at the Qing cavalry that was getting closer and closer. He suddenly became anxious and shouted to Zhang Hailin: "My lord, go first. I will lead my troops to stop here!"
After that, Dai Jingbin, regardless of whether Zhang Hailin agreed or not, said to the 150 servants around him: "Ten of you protect the master and leave quickly. The rest will follow me and kill him!"
The ten servants pulled Zhang Hailin and continued to escape. Zhang Hailin was moved and wanted to ask for something else, but he was taken away by the servants and had no time to do anything.
Dai Jingbin led the remaining 140 servants to turn around and run for a while, then gave an order to turn around and run towards the left.
"Sir, the Qing army's cavalry is over there, you are going the wrong way!"
The captain of the servants grabbed Dai Jingbin and shouted loudly, but he didn't want Dai Jingbin to kill him with a knife. The servants around him were dumbfounded and drew their swords to look at Dai Jingbin. However, some servants reacted and surrounded him one after another. Dai Jingbin protected him.
I saw Dai Jingbin saying coldly: "You want to kill the Qing soldiers? The Qing soldiers are over there. Just go there yourself. If you want to die, don't involve us!"
When the servants heard this, they understood completely. Most of them put down their spear refining and lowered their heads.
Only three servants glared at Dai Jingbin, cursed a few times, and then actually rushed towards the Qing cavalry.
"Okay, those who want to die are gone, and those who want to live are with me.
Walk! "
Dai Jingbin then ran hard in the other direction, and the rest of the servants followed closely behind him. They immediately turned into a broken army and fled in the mountains and forests, and soon disappeared.
"Ha ha!"
At this time, the Qing cavalry that attacked Qianhu's army in front of Xiahe Village was the Qing army Zhuanda, who was defeated by Liu Yan's troops. His troops were only more than thirty cavalry, and only half of them were armored.
But even so, these thirty people still defeated the thousand-man army at the Qianhu Station in front of Xiahe Village.
Nazhuanda laughed wildly while slashing the fleeing Ming soldiers. He saw three Ming soldiers roaring and rushing towards him. They were the three servants.
Zhuanda immediately became angry when he saw this: "Where are the Ming soldiers who are not afraid of death?"
I saw Zhuanda riding his horse and drawing his gun, stabbing a servant to death with one shot, and then riding his horse and knocking another servant away. The remaining servant was holding a long spear and wanted to knock Zhuanda down, but Zhuanda of the Qing army rode his horse to dodge him. His riding skills surprised the only remaining servant.
"Damn it!"
Suddenly, two Qing army cavalry rode up to him and slashed him with two knives. The servant fell down unwillingly, with his head missing.
"Charge me! Kill me!"
Zhuanda roared loudly and led more than thirty cavalrymen to form a long line and swept through the mountains and forests. The Ming soldiers along the way were mercilessly slaughtered, and they could not organize an effective counterattack.
"That's the Ming army general!"
Zhuanda of the Qing army saw Zhang Hailin running for his life at a glance. He took three Qing army vests and chased after him. He laughed wildly and shot two servants to death.
Those three Qing army vests are also brave and they only care about their families fleeing for their lives.
Ding was no match at all. In the blink of an eye, all eight remaining servants were killed, leaving only the pale-faced Zhang Hailin alone.
"La!"
At this time, Zhang Hailin could not imagine why his army of thousands of people would suddenly be defeated and why he would die.
"I am Xiahe Zhaiqian..."
So the urge to survive instantly filled Zhang Hailin's mind, and the word "surrender" also appeared. Zhang Hailin immediately dropped his saber and shouted loudly at the Qing army Zhuanda.
However, Zhuanda, who had already killed Zhang Hailin, did not give Zhang Hailin a chance at all. He rode up to Zhang Hailin and stabbed him to death before Zhang Hailin could finish.
Until his death, Zhang Hailin could not believe that he would die in this mountain forest.
