Taoist Songfeng was also riding a horse at this moment. Obviously, his riding skills were not very good. He could only be said to be reluctantly sitting on the saddle, half lying on his body, and controlling the reins desperately. This horse was very difficult for him. For him, it was just a means of transportation, and there was absolutely no possibility of riding, shooting or galloping on horseback. His riding skills were even much worse than Li Nanfeng's.
Taoist Songfeng sighed and said: "Yes, it is not easy to meet again under such circumstances. All the cavalry in Qianli were wiped out, but there were still more than 200 ownerless horses for me to pick up. Come on, these Jin cavalry abandoned our infantry and ran towards you, which gave us a chance to break out of the encirclement."
Li Nanfeng looked behind Taoist Songfeng. He was very sure that there were only more than two hundred cavalry behind Taoist Songfeng, and there was no follow-up infantry. When they separated just now, he had nearly a thousand men and horses, but now there are only two Baiduo was following with his horse, and he asked casually: "Junior Brother Songfeng, where are your other subordinates?"
Taoist Songfeng's expression became unnatural. He glanced at the direction of the hillock of the third line of defense and said in a deep voice: "What about Senior Brother Li and your other subordinates?"
The faces of both of them blushed slightly at the same time. Both of them, who had been through battles for a long time, knew very well. If they hadn't abandoned most of their men to fight to death and delay time, how could they have never met each other here?
Li Nanfeng raised his brows and said, "Okay, don't think too much about other things now. I have four to five hundred brothers following me. Plus you have more than two hundred people here, that's almost all of our troops that can command a breakout. Now we have to work together and stand out first. As long as we return to the Chinese Army, there is still hope."
Taoist Songfeng sighed: "The old Chu army brothers and the Qiang Di sergeants at the back, I asked them to disperse and break out. I don't know how many people can get out. Qi Qianli told me before that this supply camp On the north side of the Jin army's rear, it seems that there are only a few temporary sentry towers and some fences erected there, and there are no soldiers and horses to defend there. If we fight all the way there, we can stick out."
Having said this, Taoist Songfeng gritted his teeth: "I still have more than two thousand subordinates attacking Tan Daoji and the others. I want to take them out as well. Senior Brother Li, can you help me?"
Li Nanfeng shook his head and said decisively: "Junior Brother Songfeng, don't have these dreams. What's the situation now? The Jin cavalry has already reached the rear of the battle line. I left a thousand subordinates who resisted to the death. They only have two hundred steps. Now my pikemen and archers may be about to collapse. If it weren't for this patch of weeds, our troops might not even be able to get through. They have been chased by the Jin cavalry. They were wiped out. After capturing my remaining troops, I will immediately raid your more than 2,000 attacking troops. I'm afraid that they are already fighting now, and trying to bring them back is courting death. If you insist on doing so, then I The only way is to take the first step and break through directly."
As he said that, he was about to walk towards the north.
Taoist Songfeng waved his hand quickly: "Brother Li, don't be anxious. I have just arrived here, and I am on the flank of the battlefield. I don't know what is going on behind. You have been here for a day, and you have experience. I will listen to you. , now we join forces and break out immediately. The north direction should be safe, otherwise Qi Qianli and the others would not want to go directly from the north after plundering here. Then my cavalry will clear the way, and your infantry will How about following up?”
Li Nanfeng rolled his eyes and forced a smile: "The riding skills of your subordinates are also average. I don't think they can respond to the attack immediately after being attacked, and they may not be faster than my light infantry. If we encounter an ambush by the Jin army, or if the Jin army comes to reinforce us, I'm afraid there will be trouble. Why don't I go ahead with my infantry, and after I'm sure there's no danger, your cavalry will follow as the rear team."
Taoist Songfeng cursed in his heart: This Li Nanfeng is really a ghost, and he wants to escape first, leaving me behind as a resistance force that can be abandoned at any time, just like he abandoned his spearmen and archers. I can't be fooled by him. However, he came from the north to provide support. He was relatively familiar with the road there, so it was better to find a way for him to go ahead and explore the road.
Thinking of this, Taoist Songfeng laughed: "Yes, I almost forgot. When Senior Brother Li came to reinforce me, he came from there and is very familiar with the road there. However, we don't have to waste the cavalry's energy because of this. Speed, many of the mounted soldiers on my side are not good at riding, but they can be dismounted. Senior Brother Li, you should have hundreds of personal guards here, you must be able to ride a horse."
Li Nanfeng was also happy in his heart. He secretly thought that Taoist Songfeng really understood the situation and was willing to give up half of the horses. He was not afraid that this kid would run away first. When he came over, he did not pass through the gates and fences on the north side, but came from the third The second line of defense was bypassed, but now in order to escape, I have no choice but to kill myself. I am familiar with this terrain, otherwise Taoist Matsukaze might just run away.
So Li Nanfeng nodded: "Well, this is very good. We have more than two hundred riders mixed together, so we can explore the way out first. As for our walking brothers, they are very fast. If we follow them, we can go out together. There are only There are three or four unmanned arrow towers. All of Tan Daoji's soldiers have been withdrawn to defend the defense line. How can there be an ambush? And the reinforcements of the Jin army are coming from the southwest. I now think that it may really be Jiangling or even Jiangling. Zhu Chaoshi's troops are definitely not coming from the north, so this direction is still safe now, but if we delay any longer, it will be too late. These personal guards of mine can all ride horses. Without further ado, we will immediately Just regroup the team and rush out together."
Taoist Songfeng said loudly to the people behind him: "The brothers of the third team and the fourth team dismounted and followed the Taoist priests of Tianshi Tao on foot. The brothers of the first team and the second team are now reorganizing their formations. Prepare to lead a breakout."
Amidst the curses and reluctant voices, in just a few minutes, the team, which totaled six to seven hundred people, completed the reorganization. The cavalry was in front and the infantry was in the back, forming two large groups. Li Nanfeng and Taoist Songfeng was riding a horse at the front of the team. The two of them waved to the people behind them at the same time: "Brothers, let's turn in now. Let's go."
And the troops behind them, following this order, started a low roar, the sound of horse hooves, and the sound of military boots hitting the ground. About a mile to the north, the seemingly empty arrow tower and a row of Running towards the fence, everyone's eyes are shining, that is the hope of life!
