"Red Cannon?"
Gao Jie looked back and was shocked, and then he was overjoyed: "Brothers, hurry up and enter the city!"
The cavalry immediately gathered together and formed a triangular square formation, lingering in front of Tongguan.
"Open the door quickly, I want to go in, otherwise you will have a good look at it."
The city gate was closed tightly, Gao Jie shouted angrily.
They really don't take themselves seriously. It seems that they have forgotten how powerful they are.
The riding crop in his hand was held tighter.
When Li Jizu heard these words, he trembled all over and looked hesitant.
Zhu Yixi sneered in her heart, "You, the deputy commander-in-chief, have the highest official position in the city. Are you asking me to give up Tongguan?"
Without waiting for Li Jizu's reaction, he turned around and said:
"Commander Gao, we have received a military order from the Superintendent. Unless he comes in person, we will never open the door."
"Zhu Yixi?" Gao Jie's lungs exploded when he heard these words. He raised his head and looked at the figure behind Tong Shuan fiercely:
"You kid, open the door for me now, otherwise the Governor won't be able to protect you."
"Commander Gao, I just saved your life, and now I'm repaying you with revenge?"
Zhu Yixi sneered, letting you in would be courting death.
"Boy, stop talking nonsense and open the door for me quickly."
Seeing the intruder behind him ready to make a move, Gao Jie became more and more anxious.
"I will show you a clear path, cross Mengjin, go to Shanxi, go to Hengqu, and then enter Shaanxi!"
Zhu Yixi shook her head, unmoved, and then pointed loudly to the north.
However, seeing the bandit cavalry dispatching again, the red-coated cannons also began to intimidate them and shelled them one after another, making the latter more timid and afraid to approach.
"Hmph!" Looking at the deafening artillery, Gao Jie's face was solemn, hesitating again and again, he waved his hand: "Zhu Yixi, I remember you, let's go -"
In an instant, three or four thousand riders, like wild geese, were heading north quickly.
The intruder couldn't figure out the movement, hesitated again and again, and pursued him, but unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
Seeing this, Zhu Yixi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Zhu, you are really brave."
Li Jizu couldn't help but hand over his hand and said worriedly: "Gao Jie is the deputy commander-in-chief and is used to being domineering. If you provoke him, it will be bad."
"Not good?" When Zhu Yixi heard this, she seemed to have heard some joke and chuckled:
"Now, I have 6,000 men under my command, and he is just a few thousand cavalrymen in disgrace, half a pound to eight taels. I, Mr. Zhu, will not be afraid of him."
As he said that, Zhu Yixi looked into the distance.
If a large number of invading troops arrive at Tongguan, Luoyang, Nuxiang, and Mianchi may all be occupied. Sun Chuanting's journey home will become increasingly difficult.
…
However, Sun Chuanting, Chen Yongfu and others were also quite embarrassed.
After the collapse of the train camp, Bai Guangen took the lead in fleeing. In the end, only Sun Chuanting's supervisors, about 3,000 people, were left.
Under the consumption of a large number of refugees, Du Biao also continued to lose money. Sun Chuanting and Chen Yongfu retreated hand in hand and ran all the way.
Don't think too much about the food, grass and baggage. I have thrown away everything I can. I just wish my parents would have less legs.
Sun Chuanting was very old. He was so bumpy and his body became more and more haggard. His beard and hair were all white due to his anxiety and exhaustion.
Chen Yongfu had no choice but to carry the supervisor and go to Luoyang.
He actually wanted to surrender, but he just shot Li Zicheng out of one eye, which was no better than Gao Jie abducting his wife, so he had to accompany Sun Chuanting back as much as possible.
"Where?" Sun Chuanting opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"The pursuers have disappeared. We are almost reaching Luoyang."
Chen Yongfu looked back and breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are only these more than a thousand people."
Sun Chuanting sighed deeply.
This defeat was the result of years of accumulation, and it was an unprecedented defeat.
The expectations placed on the Manchu ministers, Shaanxi elders, and the emperor were just gone.
"Superintendent, if we run out of troops, we will just recruit them. As long as Shaanxi is still there, there is still hope."
Chen Yongfu saw his gloomy expression and hurriedly persuaded him.
"That's right!" Sun Chuanting cheered up, his eyes sparkling: "It's just a temporary defeat. Ups and downs are inevitable in life."
"Now that the bandits have been thrown away, there are still some supplies in Luoyang City. Let's go pick them up."
"Okay!" Chen Yongfu nodded and hurriedly helped him mount his horse. A group of more than a thousand people set off again.
After walking for half a day, they finally arrived at the gate of Luoyang City. The defenders obeyed and lowered the city gate.
Chen Yongfu was overjoyed and was about to enter the city. Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting looked up and saw the people on the city, although they were wearing Qin army robes, they were standing scattered with huge gaps between them.
Under his strict management of the army, how had it ever been so lax?
For a moment, he was shocked and said: "No, Luoyang is no longer ours, retreat quickly."
"withdraw--"
Chen Yongfu was shocked and ordered the troops to retreat regardless of what happened.
As soon as the group of people turned their horses and left, hundreds of horsemen from the city chased them, forcing Sun Chuanting to leave.
"It turned out to be Sun Chuanting himself, hahaha, I deserve my great contribution!"
The leader, riding a white horse, has a strong physique, a ferocious smile, and a ruthless look on his face. He is somewhat similar to Li Zicheng.
He is Li Guo, nicknamed Yihu, the nephew of Li Zicheng.
"Chasing, we must not let Sun Chuanting go."
In front, Sun Chuanting and his party were running desperately, exhausted by the pursuit of the cavalry.
Since Luoyang was captured, the road to Tongguan was no longer accessible, and the only option was to go to the Yellow River.
Thousands of people, five hundred, and finally, only about three hundred people were left, who could barely escape.
"Superintendent!" Chen Yongfu breathed a sigh of relief and looked ahead and said: "In a while, we will reach Mengjin Ferry. If we go to Shanxi, we can transfer to Tongguan."
"Yeah!" Sun Chuanting said dullly, and then vomited blood.
"You were hit by an arrow?" Chen Yongfu realized that at some point, Sun Chuanting's arm was hit by an arrow. However, the tail of the arrow was broken and could not be seen under his robe.
"Don't make any noise!"
Sun Chuanting whispered: "Whether it's the enemy or us, once we hear about it, it will be very detrimental to us."
"The general will understand!" Chen Yongfu sighed, regretting following his retreat.
"That's all. My big banner (dao, handsome flag) escaped in a hurry, and I'm afraid the enemy might get it."
Sun Chuanting covered the pain in his arm and felt dizzy, so he held back and said.
"It's better to cross the river."
Immediately, the group came to Mengjin Ferry and saw no ship. Sun Chuanting also smiled slightly and after a few pointers, they found the deeply hidden boat.
Soon, everyone arrived at Hengqu.
And here, Gao Jie, Niu Chenghu, and Bai Guangen from the train camp have already gathered.
After the gathering, everyone was filled with emotions.
There were once more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but now there are only 10,000 left.
Among them, Gaojie has three thousand riders, Bai Guangen has five thousand people, and Niu Chenghu has more than two thousand people.
The fierce Qin army in the past was now weak.
"Why are you all here?"
Sun Chuanting said in surprise.
"We had no choice but to cross the river because there were many intruders in Nexiang, Mianchi and other places." Niu Chenghu said in a deep voice.
"The boy from Tongguanzhong won't let me enter the city."
Gao Jie couldn't help but complained: "Zhu Yixi was so bold that he said no one could enter except you."
"except me?"
Sun Chuanting was surprised, and then he was suddenly startled: "My big banner——"
