Under the desperate resistance from the Tiger Flag, Fu Zonglong and the Mingqi around him slowed down, and their hope of escape diminished.
kill!
The Ming troops who came to the rescue burst out with shouts of killing and quickly reached the front of the tiger-shaped flag car formation, giving Fu Zonglong and others a chance to escape.
The ambush that was supposed to be attacking the Ming army was now being attacked by the Ming army.
Fortunately, there was a vehicle formation blocking the surrounding area. It was not easy for the Ming army to break through the vehicle formation and harm the tiger-character flag soldiers behind the vehicle formation. They could only harass them with arrows.
Some of the tiger-character flag soldiers in the vehicle array began to get injured.
"Don't stop, rush over." Fu Zonglong suddenly shouted.
He knew that this was the only chance to escape. If even the Ming army cavalry who rescued them could not rescue them, then he would really fall into the hands of the Tiger Flag.
The soldiers guarding Fu Zonglong began to rush forward desperately, whipping the horses hard with the whips in their hands. They no longer cared whether the muskets fired at them would hit them.
After leaving behind seven or eight corpses, Fu Zonglong was led by his own soldiers to break through the barrier of the tiger-character flag car formation and fled in the distance.
Mingqi, who came to help, saw Fu Zonglong escaping, and immediately stopped entangled with the people in the Tiger Flag, and led the people to chase after Fu Zonglong and others who left.
When Sun Chuang rushed over with his people, Fu Zonglong and others had already disappeared.
"Damn it, you actually let these people escape." Sun Chuang cursed angrily.
All the cavalrymen escaped from the battlefield, and he knew that there must be important people among these people, but it was a pity that these people escaped.
After interrogating two injured Mingqi, they found out that Fu Zonglong and Wang Chengyin were among those who escaped.
At this moment, he felt regretful. If he had taken more precautions, he would have kept Fu Zonglong and Wang Chengyin out of necessity, instead of being escaped by them like now.
"It's not your fault, Deputy Division Zheng. Our ambush was to stop the defeated infantry of the Ming army. Who would have thought that they were all cavalry. We can stop so many people now. We have done our best." The captain of the Thousand-Man Team comforted. road.
More than half of the Ming cavalry who entered the ambush circle were intercepted by them, and only a small number escaped. If it hadn't been for a group of Ming cavalry who desperately saved people, more Ming cavalry would have been intercepted.
Sun Chuang waved his hand towards the other party and said: "Even if we stop all the Mingqi, as long as we let Fu Zonglong and Wang Chengyin escape, it will be a failure for us."
Watching Fu Zonglong and Wang Chengyin, two big fishes, slip away from under his nose, it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
[In view of the general environment,
"The people have escaped. It's useless to talk about it now. Deputy Division Master, do you think we should evacuate from here and join the main force of the army." The captain of the thousand-man team asked Sun Chuang.
He had already fled, and he felt there was little use in staying here.
Sun Chuang shook his head and said, "Don't leave yet. It was only the cavalry of the Ming Army that passed by just now. There may be defeated infantry behind them. Since the big fish has escaped, the remaining shrimps cannot escape anymore." "
"Then I'll make arrangements right away," said the captain of the thousand-man team.
Sun Chuang nodded.
On the other side, Fu Zonglong, who escaped from the blockade, ran for more than ten miles in one breath. He had to stop when his horses were exhausted and panting.
"Supervisor, please drink some water!" A soldier brought a water bag to Fu Zonglong.
Fu Zonglong took it and brought it to his mouth and drank several large mouthfuls, and then the tension in his heart eased a little.
At this moment, the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.
After so many years as an official, this was the first time that he fell into such a dangerous situation and was almost captured by the rebels.
"This place is too close to the tiger thief, so we can't stay for a long time. Take a breath and get on the road quickly." Fu Zonglong warned the soldiers around him.
He didn't want to fall into the same danger again.
"Yes." The soldier responded.
The war horse has been running for so long,
They also need to drink water and rest. Everyone knows that if they want to escape completely, they will inevitably need a war horse to take care of them, so everyone gives priority to taking care of the war horse, and lastly themselves.
At this moment, a troop of cavalry caught up.
"Where is Governor Fu? Where is Governor Fu?" As soon as the visitor approached, he immediately jumped off the horse and asked about Fu Zonglong's whereabouts.
The cavalry that just arrived was also the same Ming cavalry that rescued Fu Zonglong.
"I am the Governor of Shandong." Fu Zonglong stood up.
It is not difficult to see from the visitor's armor that the visitor is also from the Ming Army, and the other party saved him, so he must be a member of the Ming Army.
"The last general, Cao Bianjiao, comes to see the superintendent." Cao Bianjiao shook off the person in front of him, took a few steps to come to Fu Zonglong, and knelt down on one knee.
Seeing this, Fu Zonglong hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "General Cao, please get up quickly."
Cao Bianjiao took advantage of the situation and stood up.
Fu Zonglong looked Cao Bianjiao up and down and felt that the name sounded familiar, so he asked, "I wonder what the relationship is between General Cao and you, General Cao?"
"It's the general's uncle." Cao Bianjiao said.
Hearing this, Fu Zonglong's eyes lit up and said: "It turns out to be General Cao. Didn't you and General Cao Shen stay in Jinan Prefecture to threaten the main force of the tiger bandits? Why did you suddenly come to Laizhou? Where is General Cao?"
As he said that, he looked behind Cao Bianjiao.
He originally thought that Wang Chengyin sent someone to save him, but now he found out that the person who saved him was Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew.
"Please forgive me, Supervisor." Cao Bianjiao knelt down again and said, "My uncle and nephew fell into the trap of the tiger thief, and many people were killed and injured. Even my uncle was injured and had to leave in the end. Jinan Prefecture came to Laizhou to meet with the governor."
Cao Bianjiao explained in detail how his uncle and nephew were ambushed.
After listening, Fu Zonglong sighed softly.
Although now even if the Tiger Character Banner's main grain transport route in Laizhou is cut off, the impact will not be big, but when I think that even the uncles and nephews of the Cao family were defeated in front of the Tiger Character Banner's grain transportation team, I really don't know what it is. The reputation of the uncle and nephew of the Cao family is exaggerated, and the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Character Banner are too powerful. Even the Ming army generals like the uncle and nephew of the Cao family are no match.
"Get up, I don't blame you, you have done your best." Fu Zonglong helped Cao Bianjiao up again.
Sun Chuanting and the soldiers and horses he brought were trapped on the battlefield, and they didn't know if they could escape. Wang Chengyin didn't dare to be trusted at all. The only people he could rely on now were the uncles and nephews of the Cao family who came for them.
Therefore, he never thought of punishing Cao's uncle and nephew for their defeat.
Next, he still needs the uncles and nephews of the Cao family to contain Wang Chengyin.
If only one of Wang Chengyin's troops was left in the Ming army on the ground in Shandong, he, the commander, would probably become Wang Chengyin's puppet.
Cao Bianjiao looked around and said, "Supervisor, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. The tiger thieves also have cavalry. Once bitten by the tiger thieves' cavalry, it will not be that easy to leave."
He reminded Fu Zong that the pursuers of the Dragon and Tiger Flag might catch up at any time.
