"Failed!"
Qin Yiming, who looked gloomy, uttered two words in his mouth.
Looking at the defeated troops sweeping in front of him, his eyes lost their previous look.
The Baigan soldiers participated in the Battle of Pingbo, suppressed the She'an Rebellion, and also aided the Liao Dynasty in the bloody battle against the slave and bandit army in the Hun River, making Shizhu Baigan soldiers famous all over the world.
It is such an elite soldier who has fought many battles, but he did not even get close to a rebel army with fewer numbers than the white pole soldiers, so the rebels were defeated and defeated.
Moreover, it was a unilateral massacre by the rebels against the white soldiers.
The pride that the white-pole soldiers once had has now become a joke.
"General, you can't stay in this place any longer. I will take you out of here." A soldier on the side said nervously to Qin Yiming.
When he spoke, he looked nervous and glanced in the direction of the defeated troops from time to time.
"Go? Where to go? The river behind you has cut off the general's retreat." Qin Yiming looked bitter.
His so-called last stand has become a joke.
"I can walk, I can walk." The soldier said hurriedly, "I secretly left a boat on the shore. As long as the general can get there in time, I can take the boat back to the other side."
After hearing this, Qin Yiming's eyes became a little brighter, his lips moved a few times, and he said: "The general is gone, what will happen to these people?"
He looked at the defeated Chuangui soldiers.
One ship could not transport so many soldiers across the river, not even one-tenth of the soldiers in front of them could be transported across the river.
"The boat is too small to transport so many people across the river. General, please remain useful. As for the others, it depends on their luck." The soldier said helplessly.
Even if all the previous boats were left behind, they would not be able to transport everyone to the other side of the river at once.
Qin Yiming pursed his lips and sighed: "That's all we can do, let's go!"
The reason why he mentioned soldiers was because he didn't want to appear too ruthless.
Now seeing that the defeated soldiers were about to retreat to him, they would really be unable to leave if they didn't leave, so he immediately took his own soldiers and servants and rushed to the shore where the ship was docked.
With his own soldiers and servants escorting him, and being at the rear of the army, he quickly arrived at the river bank.
When we arrived, we saw a small boat docked by the river.
"General, get aboard quickly!"
Several soldiers helped Qin Yiming board the boat, and then the soldiers themselves jumped onto the bow.
At this moment, broken troops began to appear on the river bank.
Moreover, the defeated soldiers also discovered the boat docked by the river, and rolled and crawled towards the boat by the river.
"Quickly row the boat and leave the shore." Qin Yiming, who was sitting in the boat, saw the defeated soldiers running towards him. He didn't care about the situation and hurriedly asked the boatman on the boat to row the boat to prevent the defeated soldiers from getting close to the boat.
Because he knew that once the defeated soldiers were put on the ship, more defeated soldiers would come from behind, and no one would be able to leave by then.
The boatmen on the ship also understand this truth.
He picked up the pennies in his hands and pushed the boat into the river with all his strength.
By the time the defeated soldiers on the shore came after them, the boat had already entered the deep water area. Some of the defeated soldiers were unwilling to give up and chased into the river, hoping to catch up with the boat rowing in the river.
However, after taking a few steps into the river, before catching up with the boat, the whole person was submerged above his head by the river water.
Soon, more and more broken soldiers crowded on the river bank.
I could only watch helplessly as the boat rowed towards the middle of the river. Some people cursed, and some people took off their armor and jumped into the river to swim to the other side of the river.
Only a few people knew how to swim, and most of Sichuan's soldiers could only look at the river blocking their eyes and do nothing.
Qin Yiming, who was sitting on the boat, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and finally escaped.
"It's all because of my incompetence that I couldn't bring them all back." Qin Yiming looked at the Sichuan Gui soldiers crowded on the river bank with a look of shame on his face.
The soldier next to him said comfortingly: "Who would have thought that the firearms in the hands of the thieves would be so powerful, so the defeat in this battle is not the general's fault, and the general does not need to feel bad about it."
"Alas!" Qin Yiming sighed.
At this time, there was a commotion on the river bank where Kawaki's soldiers were.
Groups of tiger-character flag soldiers holding firecrackers appeared on the shore.
Many Kawaki soldiers on the shore jumped directly into the water to escape, regardless of whether they knew how to swim. Some Kawaki soldiers fled along the river bank to both sides.
"Damn it!" Qin Yiming on the ship saw this situation, his eyes widened with anger, and he shouted almost as if he was swearing, "I will not be a human being unless I take revenge for this."
Everyone on the boat understood that all the soldiers of Kawaki on the river bank were dead, and they didn't know how many people would survive in the end.
At the same time, at a point downstream of the river where the officers and soldiers crossed the river, the battle was coming to an end.
Xiangyang Guard's soldiers and horses crossed the river a little later than Qin Yiming's Sichuan Gui soldiers. In addition, Xiangyang Guard's soldiers and horses were in a mess when boarding the ship, which delayed a lot of time.
By the time the Xiangyang guards and horses had crossed the river, the battle at Qin Yiming's place had already begun.
However, the soldiers and horses of the Xiangyang Guards did not last as long as the white-pole soldiers, and were more cautious. The thousand-man team with the Tiger Flag that blocked them only fired a few rows of fire cannons, and was immediately defeated and defeated.
The commander Qian Shi and the two Qianhu who led the army took the lead in escaping, seizing two ships and fleeing to the other side first.
The remaining ship was fought over by other Xiangyang guards who fled to the river bank.
Even in order to get on the ship, their own people started killing each other.
Blood soon stained the river around the boat.
Until the soldiers of the Tiger Flag chased them, these Xiangyang Guards soldiers and horses could not escape on the only remaining ship, but became prisoners.
Two thousand-man teams returned almost one after another, escorting the captured officers and soldiers.
Qin Yiming returned to the other side in the boat.
Ma Xianglin, who was waiting on the other side, looked gloomy when he saw him coming back.
Although he did not see the situation on the battlefield, he could clearly see the situation of Kawaki's soldiers crowding the riverside to escape.
Coupled with Qin Yiming's disgraced return, you can guess the result without asking.
"The general is incompetent, please punish me by the envoy." Qin Yiming, who came ashore, knelt down in front of Ma Xianglin with a frown and begged for mercy.
Ma Xianglin's lips trembled and he yelled angrily: "Why did you come back? Why didn't you die on the other side?"
He was extremely angry.
Shizhu only had a few thousand white-pole soldiers in total. This time he brought more than two thousand white-pole soldiers to Henan to suppress bandits. However, he lost more than a thousand and nearly two thousand white-pole soldiers in this battle. Now he has only a few thousand white-pole soldiers left in his hands. The reason why there were less than five hundred white-armed soldiers was that they did not follow Qin Yiming and did not cross the river.
Qin Yiming lowered his head and dared not speak.
He knew in his heart that what Ma Xianglin said were all angry words. The two of them were aunt and nephew, and it was impossible for him to really fall into the hands of the thieves.
"How did you lose?" Ma Xianglin asked in a deep voice.
Qin Yiming raised his head and said: "The general underestimated and did not expect that the thieves were good at using firearms. Every time the thieves waited for our white-armed soldiers to approach before firing, they used three-stage strikes, and the thieves used The fire blunderbuss is extremely powerful, it can be fired directly without the need for a match rope, and the reloading speed is also fast, so the general suffered a big loss."
