In a bush with all its leaves, several Qin soldiers huddled together and survived another night. Although during this night, the commander of the Qin Army's central cluster was captured alive by the Tang Army.
Wang Luo, the commander-in-chief of the northern cluster, is among these people at this moment. He, his adjutant, and the guard captain have been hiding everywhere until now.
Yes, there are no decent organized troops in the entire northern cluster now, only a few rats are left, hiding in every corner.
The Tang army's small troops captured prisoners everywhere, and now they have captured hundreds of thousands. The Qin army's northern cluster was actually finished, but Qin itself did not admit it, or did not know it.
The weather was already very cold, and Wang Luo still had a blanket on him. Several officers were wearing a variety of colors: some were wearing military coats, some were wearing cotton jackets from unknown sources, and some only had one wrapped around their necks.
scarf.
Several people had nothing to eat last night. Their command vehicles, cars and armored vehicles were all destroyed, and the guard troops were dispersed by the Tang army who was chasing them.
The number of people around them became less and less, and only a few of them were left. They barely escaped pursuit and spent the night hiding in the bushes.
Now, at dawn, they finally found where they were: beside a road, or... next to a large group of Tang troops.
Less than 50 meters away, Tang soldiers' tents and temporary camps were connected together. The soldiers were cooking, and parked next to them was a tracked armored vehicle that the Qin army had never seen before.
The opponent's camouflage is different from the past. The colors on it look very complicated. From a distance, the lines of the armored vehicle are very blurred by the camouflage.
The adjutant was so frightened that he pulled out the pistol from his waist. Wang Luo squinted his eyes and watched the Tang soldiers brushing their teeth and washing their faces, and burst into laughter from time to time.
"Don't shoot! If you shoot, we will be dead." An officer held down the adjutant's trembling hand and continued to persuade Wang Luo: "Commander, let's go quickly, go around from the other side, and continue to the west...
Maybe we can get to Dongqing soon."
After they were broken into pieces or defeated by the Tang Army, it was not without benefits. The Tang Army's maneuver speed was very fast, and this abnormal speed also left some problems.
The Tang troops advanced so fast that they had no time to build a fixed line of defense. Without a line of defense, without heavy troops, there was no complete encirclement.
Without a complete line of defense, there would be gaps where small groups of troops could escape and avoid being pursued by the Tang army.
Although as time went by, the Tang Army's pursuit became more precise, small groups of troops searched and fought, the Tang Army became more experienced and sophisticated, and their weapons became more suitable, in the end, many "possibilities" were left.
Wang Luo and the others fled westward, relying on these gaps. They retreated westward bit by bit, first following the defeated troops, and then acting on their own.
Finally, after the guard force was dispersed, they relied on a few people to escape quietly and avoid several raids by the Tang army.
Looking at the three or two kittens around him, Wang Luo no longer had the arrogance of the commander of the more than 700,000-strong army in the northern cluster. He now seemed like a refugee, and his beard had not even been shaved for a long time.
In order to hide his identity, Wang Luo even changed his military uniform. He is now wearing a Qin captain's military uniform, and everyone around him has a higher "military rank" than him.
"Let's go!" He sighed, turned around, pushed aside the bushes, and got back into the big pit where he had just rested.
The followers who stayed in the pit had already packed their things. Some were carrying submachine guns and others were carrying luggage. They didn't look like soldiers at all.
Because their sight was blocked, they left the place where they hid yesterday and walked to the west along a road trampled by the defeated soldiers.
Abandoned rifles and some scattered items can still be seen on the edge of this road. There are Qin Army's M35 helmets, bullets, and some ration packaging.
The cans that had been licked clean were half buried in the soil, and not far away there was the body of a soldier who was killed. No one went to see how the man died, because no one cared.
Normally, everyone would be alert if they saw corpses on the road, but now, because they have seen too many corpses, everyone has become numb.
Along the way, the chief of staff was killed, the army commander also died, and the head of the guard regiment also died. Neither the size of the official position nor the position where you stand can guarantee your safety, so everyone stopped studying it.
How to save your life?
Facts have proved that in this kind of defeat, life and death are only related to luck. There is no trick and no experience that can be summarized.
As we were walking, we suddenly heard a gunshot in the distance, which echoed in the wilderness and came back and forth over and over again.
A person in the team who was wrapped in a blanket fell straight down, and the remaining people looked numbly in the direction where the gunfire came from.
They didn't realize what happened, but when the second shot was fired and the second man fell, they finally recalled that the person they needed to protect seemed to be dead.
"Don't shoot! We surrender!" The remaining three people raised their hands and shouted loudly, fearing that they would lose their lives if they slowed down a little bit.
Sure enough, the gunfire stopped, and a few seconds later, a figure stood up in an inconspicuous place. The Tang Army's sniper was wearing a gray and black ghillie suit, blending in with the surrounding bare shrubs and soil. If he hadn't
If he stood up, it would be impossible for anyone to notice his location.
The sniper... or the observer, holding an assault rifle, walked step by step in front of the three people with their hands raised in the air, and looked at these disgraced Qin soldiers: "Officer?"
"Yes!" The guard captain raised his hand and nodded nervously, answering the other party's question: "I am the captain of the Northern Cluster Commander's private security force! He is the commander's adjutant, and that one is the secretary."
"Captain? Adjutant?" Obviously, the snipers of the Tang Army did not expect that these guys who looked no different from beggars were big fish: "He can't be the commander, right?"
While joking, his eyes fell on the body that was shot to death by his partner.
"No, he is the chief of the communications section of the headquarters, a lieutenant colonel." The other party's answer made the Tang soldier breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the next words made him laugh and cry again: "That is Commander Wang Luo... the first one you killed, the one wrapped in a blanket..."
