"The little one doesn't look like him. He doesn't have any weapons." The sentry who came back to deliver the message recalled.
The guerrilla general thought for a moment and said, "Take a team of soldiers and horses and take a closer look. If they are traitors, come back quickly and inform me."
"Yes." The detective agreed, turned around and rode away.
The guerrilla general raised his right hand to stop the advancing team and ordered: "Pass this general's order and prepare to fight."
The army stopped and the soldiers in the army were on alert.
Not long after, the sentinel came running back.
"General, it's not good. General, it's not good. The thieves have occupied Tianmen Pass and are coming towards Yangqu. Let's run away!"
After hearing this, the guerrilla general's expression changed and he immediately ordered: "Order the front army to change its rear army and return to Yangqu immediately."
After saying that, he took the lead in riding away in the direction behind him.
The Tianmen Pass defenders were defeated, and the news that the bandits were coming from Chaoyangqu quickly spread throughout the army of about a thousand people in Fubiao camp. In addition, the general and his men had already escaped on horseback, and the soldiers in the army fled for their lives.
An army of a thousand soldiers and horses was reduced to a rout. The formation was no longer there, and the soldiers in the army fled as fast as they could. Flags and armor were scattered all over the ground, and there were still many battalions. In order to fight for a horse, a soldier poisoned his companions.
A good army was turned into a mess.
Not long after, Duke Jie Shigong fled here with the defeated soldiers around him.
Seeing the soldiers and armor all over the ground in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.
The ground was full of soldiers and soldiers, and he immediately thought that the thieves might have sneaked around to the rear and attacked the troops.
However, he soon gave up this idea.
There wasn't even a corpse in front of him, and there wasn't even a trace of blood. It didn't look like it looked like after the war.
"General, this is the Fubiao battalion under Governor Pan." The deputy general asked someone to come over with a large banner picked up from the ground.
When Mr. Jie Shigong heard this, his face darkened.
He thought of a possibility, that is, the general of the Fubiao camp heard the news of the fall of Tianmen Pass, and even abandoned his armor and fled on the spot.
If it were the soldiers and horses under his command, such a thing would definitely not happen, but he did not think it was anything new when such a thing happened in Fubiao Camp.
"If the Fubiao camp escapes like this, even if it returns to Yangqu, there will not be enough soldiers and armor available, and the number of troops will definitely be reduced a lot." The deputy general looked at Mr. Jie Shi and said.
Without the soldiers and horses of the Fubiao camp, once Yangqu was defended, they would have to rely on the hundreds of remnant soldiers they brought back. But without soldiers and armor, Yangqu would not be able to defend it even if it wanted to.
Mr. Jie Shigong glanced at the soldiers on the ground, sighed and said: "Even if we have these soldiers, do you think we can defend Yangqu? Let's go back to Yangqu smoothly first."
After saying that, he stepped forward and continued walking forward, no longer caring about the soldiers on the ground.
After escaping from Tianmen Pass, he even left his own armor on the way to escape. No matter how many armors there were on the ground, he had no interest in equipping his own soldiers and horses again.
The deputy general glanced at the Fubiao camp banner in his hand, threw it on the ground, and turned to the people around him and said, "Don't pick up the soldiers and armor. If you see any dry food, take it all with you."
They escaped from Tianmen Pass and had nothing to eat except their armor.
It was dozens of miles from Tianmenguan to Yangqu. Without food, the team would not be able to walk for a long time.
Originally, he was worried about what the hundreds of them would do without dry food, but now he encountered the baggage left behind by Fubiao Camp, and the problem of dry food was solved.
After all, the Fubiao camp had more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and just a few of them would be enough for several hundred of them.
tread! tread! tread!
Several hundred soldiers who had escaped from Tianmen Pass with Mr. Jie were picking up the food and grass left behind by Fubiao Camp when the sound of horse hooves came from the direction behind them.
"General, the sound of horse hooves came from behind. The thieves should be chasing them. We can't stay here." A soldier beside Mr. Jie said in a low voice.
At the same time, he glanced warily behind him from time to time.
Mr. Jie Shigong's expression suddenly changed.
At Tianmen Pass, no pass like Tianmen Pass can stop the bandit soldiers. Now that they have no soldiers or armor, they have no power to fight back against the bandit cavalry.
"Let's go." Mr. Jie Shigong, whose expression changed several times, said to the soldiers around him, and he took the lead in riding away from the team of hundreds of remaining soldiers around him.
A dozen soldiers and servants who also rode horses followed him and rode away with him.
When the deputy general who was with the remnant soldiers saw this scene, he realized that it was wonderful. He no longer asked others to collect food and grass, but he led several soldiers who also rode horses to chase Mr. Jie Shigong.
After leaving the Tiger Flag camp, he galloped towards Tianmen Pass without daring to turn back. Only when the sound of the cannons behind him became quieter and there were no shouts of killing around him did he have time to pay attention to the situation around him.
Under the night, he could vaguely see Tianmen Pass in front of him. He was relieved that there were no pursuers sent by the bandit camp behind him. When he saw that there were only seven or eight people left around him, his expression immediately turned bitter.
More than 300 soldiers and horses went to attack the thief camp, but in the end only seven or eight cavalry escaped. The rest were all abandoned in the thief camp, and not one of the more than 200 foot soldiers escaped.
"Quick, open and close the door." Qin Youyi called to the guards who were closing the door.
As the guard of Tianmen Pass, Mr. Jie Shigong also stayed up all night. He has been guarding the top of the city since the troops who went to attack the bandit camp left Tianmen Pass.
"General, the Qin guerrillas are back." A guard on the city wall came to announce to Mr. Jie Shigong.
"What a waste."
Mr. Jie Shigong looked at the riders outside Tianmen Gate and cursed.
The thieves camp in the distance did not see any big trouble, but the people sent by Tianmen Pass to attack the camp came back. He knew that the attack on the camp should have failed.
If successful, the bandit camp would be ablaze by now, and it would be impossible for those who went to attack the camp to come back so soon.
"General, do you want to let the people in first?" the guard asked cautiously.
Mr. Jie Shigong glared at the guards in front of him and said coldly: "Do you know if there are any traitors among them, and if there are any traitors coming from behind? They are a bunch of trash, they will die outside."
The guards did not dare to say anything and could only retreat.
As for letting Qin Youyi and others into Tianmen Pass, we will not mention it anymore.
However, Qin Youyi, who returned to the gate of Tianmenguan City, waited and saw no one opening and closing the door to let him in. He couldn't help but urge: "Who is the guard on the city? Don't you know me? Hurry up and open the city. Gate, Ben is about to enter the city."
What awaited him was silence on the top of the city.
"My general, Qin Guang, was ordered by the commander-in-chief to attack the bandit camp. Now that he is back, quickly open the door and let me in." Qin Guang was afraid that the bandit soldiers would catch up, so he kept heading towards the top of the city. call out.
After a while, a head appeared on the top of the city and shouted to Qin guerrillas outside the city gate: "General Qin, please calm down. It's not that I won't let you enter the city. It's really dark at night and it's hard to distinguish what's going on outside the city gate." , the general had better endure it and enter the city at dawn."
