"No!" Li Yan and Li Muxian objected almost subconsciously. Li Yan even pulled a wound from his excessive excitement and sweated on his head.
How can a dignified coach take risks? If an accident occurs, it will not only be a matter of personal life and death, but also the entire Ming Dynasty will be in a passive state. You must know that the Ming Dynasty has not collapsed at this time and has been alive for several months. It all depends on the little eunuch struggling to support the injured man. Hole pillar!
Chang Yu disagreed and smiled faintly: "During the Baoding Mansion's suppression of thieves, I didn't do much of this kind of thing. Now it's not intact, or it's broken."
"Today is different from the past, and the rebel army is also different from the Tatars. At that time, although the rebel army was numerous in the mountains, it overran several mansions and held countless refugees hostage. The situation was large and complacent, so there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. But now the Tatars The soldiers are fast and the defenses are tight. If there is any clue, we will chase it to the end. The danger here is very big. I will never allow the governor to be involved in danger!" Li Yan said with a sincere face: "The fate of the Ming Dynasty depends on the governor. Everything depends on the governor. Don’t take any chances!”
In the evening, Chang Yu left the camp. No one could stop him from what he was determined to do, not even Li Yan, nor Li Muxian, nor Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong.
Before leaving, Li Yan was the commander-in-chief. All the Zhou and Huang generals listened to his orders and ordered their troops to speed up to put pressure on Dorgon. It would be best to bite his tail and delay his progress. Then he led his personal guards and his subordinates. The two battalions of black panthers and black wolves left.
The reason why the second battalion was led was not because they were heavily armored soldiers, but because they abandoned heavy armor for the sake of horse speed and hiding their identity. The main reason was that Tu Yuan's Black Tiger Battalion was in the vanguard, while Gongzi Battalion stayed in Tianjin to train.
A group of more than five hundred riders, carrying dry food and light clothing, headed south quickly.
Watching it go away, Li Muchian raised his dust and said, "Infinite Buddha."
Li Yan looked up at the white clouds in the car and was lost in thought. Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with excitement. With such people who were not afraid of life and death fighting for the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could be saved.
But the little eunuch who drove away didn't feel how tall or sacred he was. Wasn't what he was doing exactly what those silent Ye Bushou who always rushed to the front line had to go through every day?
The scouts, scouts, and scouts of later generations are always on the most dangerous front line. They are the most respectable people.
The sacred little eunuch in the hearts of Li Yan and others was wondering if his crotch would be blistered along the way!
It was getting dark, and the scouts came to report. The Qing army moved south quickly. The Ming army vanguard, who had rested for a short while, immediately broke camp and pursued them.
"Is this dog Tatar crazy? He just wants to run away and be reincarnated." Pioneer General Tu Yuan was cursing while touching the bruise at the corner of his mouth. The faint pain there was all due to Hao Yaoqi, but the guy didn't get it either. Tu Yuan cursed in his heart and glanced sideways at the light not far away. Hao Yaoqi, who was riding a horse with his arms crossed, happened to meet the guy's fire-breathing eyes.
"Master Tu, it's not advisable to go deep at night. Could it be that the Tatars set a trap to ambush us?" Ji Jike was worried about another conflict between the two of them, so she quickly found a topic, but she was also worried.
Tu Yuan was the only official among the three of them who had a military position in the imperial establishment, and was the commander of the Black Tiger Camp directly under the jurisdiction of Dongchang.
Hao Yaoqi is just a captive soldier, and has not yet been formally appointed, so he is doing field work for Chang Yu. Ji Jike is almost a volunteer soldier from the countryside, but both of them have a bright future as long as they have military merit and are reused by Chang Yu. Of course, this is something to talk about later. At present, Tu Yuan, the official worker, has to take the lead.
ambush? Tu Yuan frowned: "Can a dog Tatar still pull this trick? It can't be possible. Our spies are spread out so far, so we shouldn't..."
It was obvious that Tu Yuan had no idea. Marching at night was inherently dangerous. If he was not careful, he would slip into the enemy's encirclement and it would be impossible to guard against it.
"Perhaps the Tatars think that we are chasing too close and they are chasing us in a hurry. Otherwise, why are the Tatars running so hard and not stopping at night? Maybe they are deliberately setting off smoke to lure us into a trap." Ji Ji But his face was solemn.
"I'm afraid I'll beg for it and it's over. I just want to fight!" Hao Yaoqi shouted not far away. Tu Yuanyi gritted his teeth and was about to scold him, but Ji Jike quickly pulled him: "Master Tu , big things come first."
"What's the point?" Tu Yuan also had a fiery temper, "That guy is right, just do it and it's over. We were ordered to pursue the enemy, so we can't stop chasing the enemy for fear of an ambush! Who will be responsible if we lose the pursuit? anti".
"Don't be afraid, just chase." A familiar voice came from behind. Tu Yuan and the others turned around to look in astonishment, but Chang Yu had already caught up. They couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is the factory owner here?"
"If I don't come, I'm afraid you'll continue to fight among yourself." Chang Yu feigned anger. Tu Yuan and Hao Yaoqi smiled awkwardly. It was obvious that someone had reported their fight to Chang Yu.
"Mr. Factory, we are just..." Tu Yuan was about to explain, but was interrupted by Chang Yu raising his hand. He had no time to listen to all this at this time. He looked at the three of them and said: "Start now, chase as fast as you can." , bite when you catch up, bite hard, and you must buy some time for me."
Tu Yuan and the others looked puzzled: "Why does the factory supervisor need time?"
"To do something big." Chang Yu briefly stated his plan. The three of them were shocked but eager to try, and they all asked to follow Chang Yu.
To be honest, Chang Yu really wanted to take them with him. These three were all enemies of ten thousand and had a safe future by their side, but he knew that it would be a long and arduous task to hold back the Qing army from behind, and they needed strong generals like them.
So I had no choice but to reluctantly refuse, and after a few more warnings, I went to Ma Dong.
"Old Jia, Lao Jiu protect the factory owner. If something goes wrong, come back and crush your balls!" Tu Yuan shouted loudly, and Jia Waixiong's scolding came from the distance: "Kuang Ren just shot a gun the day before yesterday. Damn crow, shut up!"
"Do you think Tu Yuan is a fool?" Lao Jiu asked Jia Wai Xiong in a low voice.
"Why do you say that?" Jia Waixiong was puzzled.
"He actually said he would crush our balls, knowing that the factory boss didn't..." Hehe, Lao Jiu smiled so obscenely, Jia Waixiong winked and glared at him again: "You are really not afraid of death, what? Dare to say anything."
Why did Chang Yu turn around and run eastward?
This is one of the advantages of later generations traveling through time, being familiar with geography.
Qingzhou Prefecture, also known as Qingzhou City (formerly Yidu) in later generations, is three hundred miles east of Jinan and southeast of Tianjin. The Qing army marching south from Tianjin is directly opposite Jinan, but they must have looked down upon the hollowed-out Jinan. city, and headed directly to Qingzhou in the southeast.
If Chang Yu wanted to resist them first, he would have to take a shortcut. If he took a long detour from the west, he would be easily discovered by the Qing army, so he could only take the risk and take the east road along the coastline to Qingzhou Prefecture.
Although this road is close, it is definitely not easy to walk. Firstly, it is close to the Qing army. Secondly, the hundreds of miles from Tianjin to Jinan are really flat. Except for the many rivers in Tianjin, there is not even a small hilltop. The wide field of view is very easy to be discovered by the Qing army. Once they find that there is no danger to defend, they can only fight hard or escape.
With more than five hundred people fighting against tens of thousands of Qing troops, whether they fight or flee is extremely slim.
However, Chang Yu, who is born with an adventurous spirit, likes this kind of excitement, no matter in his previous life or in this life!
It's better to catch tiger cubs than from tiger's den!
Taking risks does not mean being stupid. Chang Yu had calculated the safe distance. Cangzhou in the west should be 150 miles away from the coastline. However, the Qing army did not go to Cangzhou in the southwest but went straight south along the middle road or marched slightly east. In other words, the Qing army's marching route and coastline were seventy or eighty miles long, and the shortest would not exceed fifty miles.
Assuming that the Qing army's outer cordon is twenty miles, Chang Yu still has a safe range of thirty to fifty miles.
This range is enough for him. Even if the vision is good during the day, he may not be able to detect it from this far away, and once it exceeds the front of the Qing army, there is no need to worry!
It is said that after Chang Yu caught up with Tu Yuan's vanguard troops and gave them some instructions, they headed eastward. When they were more than ten miles away, they felt the strong humidity and the sea breeze mixed with a faint fishy smell. They knew that they were not far from the coast. So everyone turned their horses and ran straight south.
The soil near the coastline is soft but it can minimize the sound of horse hooves. After running for more than 20 miles in one breath, both men and horses were tired, so they reined in their horses and drove slowly. Kuang Ren, who was about to explore the road ahead, came forward and reported that it was safe for several miles around. He raised his hand and pointed toward the southwest: "Mr. Factory, look at this."
Chang Yu squinted for a long time and found nothing unusual, and was very confused. Kuang Ren asked: "Didn't your Excellency see the fire?"
I really haven’t seen it, not only Chang Yu hasn’t seen it, but many people can’t see it, but this is not surprising. Kuang Rennai’s eyes are always sharper than ordinary people. It turns out that he discovered the looming lights in the southwest, which should be from the Qing army. The marching team is just too far away to be seen unless you look carefully.
At least thirty miles away! Kuang Ren estimates.
Chang Yu estimated that this place should be nearly ten miles away from the sea. The Qing army was at least forty miles away from the coast. In addition, the surrounding probing horses could spread out for up to twenty miles. He still had a safe range of twenty miles.
At this time, the Qing army was thirty miles away and could not be seen in the daytime. However, because marching at night required a large number of torches and the wide field of vision, the clues were discovered.
"Maybe it's the Qing army's baggage at the rear." Chang Yu said with a slight smile: "Once Tu Yuan and the others bite the Tatar tail, the Qing army will have no time to care about them, and they didn't expect that we were walking side by side with them dozens of miles away, so they ran Come on, brothers"
