With his horse galloping, Yang Hongwen led several of his men and drove toward the woods in the northeast.
In fact, they should flee to the south, which is the direction they came from. Relatively speaking, the density of Yong's army is lower.
Unfortunately, the Yong army that was chasing them was over there, forcing them to go north.
"There are only five people in his grandma's house, so why are they kicked out of the iron?" Yang Hongwen couldn't help but cursed.
Riding behind him on horseback, the hundred households quickly said: "Sir, it's just that the humble position is too heavy!"
Everyone complained, waved their whips, and fled as fast as possible, while the pursuers were only seventy or eighty meters behind them.
Yang Hongwen was very angry, and the Yong army soldiers who chased them were even more angry.
"We didn't bother these traitors, but they still dared to come... Brothers, if we don't kill these people, we might not have the shame to go back!"
They had killed seven or eight people just now, and after the rest fled in all directions, they set their sights on Bai Hu, who was leading the team.
What they didn't expect was that there were people coming to meet the hundreds of households, which made them even more reluctant to let these people go. Maybe they could get some useful information after they were caught.
Looking at the Yong Army cavalry getting closer and closer from the rear, Baihu beside Yang Hongwen reminded: "Our horses are not strong enough. If we continue like this, we will definitely be caught!"
"Sir, there is a village ahead, why don't we hide in it first?"
They had crossed the woods, and were surrounded by semi-abandoned fields. There were not many places for them to hide.
"Okay...just go to Zhuangzi in front!" At this time, Yang Hongwen had no other choice.
Only then did he really understand what it means to be a rich man and not to sit down in court.
If he hadn't stepped into this muddy water, or if he hadn't let his subordinates take action rashly, there wouldn't be the danger and embarrassment in front of him.
Soon they entered Zhuangzi, which was an abandoned village.
The apocalypse is coming, and although the southwest is not completely occupied by zombies, such abandoned Zhuangzi is not uncommon.
"Sir, we have to have people drive away and lead the Yong Army cavalry away!"
"Indeed!"
After Yang Hongwen's words, the hundred households immediately said to the two soldiers accompanying him: "You guys, one goes north and the other goes east, hurry up!"
At this time, the Yong Army cavalry had appeared at the entrance of the village, and they did not have much time.
It is undoubtedly a very dangerous job to divert the enemy troops at this time.
"If you go back this time, you will be rewarded greatly!"
Although the two soldiers who were ordered were somewhat reluctant, when they saw Baihu's murderous eyes, they had no choice but to risk their lives.
"drive……"
A total of four horses left quickly under the leadership of two soldiers, and Yang Hongwen and his two men also set off immediately and hid in an abandoned house.
While hiding inside the house, the two of them were also carefully observing the situation outside.
When the pursuers entered the village, they slowed down their speed, making Yang Hongwen extremely nervous, thinking that they had been exposed.
"Why did they enter this village? Could they be hiding inside?"
"Then search this place!"
Good guys, when they heard the conversation outside, Yang Hongwen and his two men felt anxious.
But the next moment, someone exclaimed from outside: "Look ahead, they have escaped!"
"There are people in the east, and they escaped separately!"
"Chase!"
The next moment, the five Yong Army cavalry who entered the village chased towards the east and north at very fast speed.
About a minute later, after confirming that the pursuers had left, Baihu next to Yang Hongwen said: "Finally got rid of it!"
Unexpectedly, Yang Hongwen said in a cold tone: "Are these the five hundred people you mentioned?"
"Sir... Your Majesty, there are really five hundred people. Most of them should go after the others!"
"Are you still not telling the fucking truth?"
With a loud shout, Yang Hongwen kicked Baihu in the butt and knocked him to the ground.
Who is Yang Hongwen, the majestic commander of the Lingbei capital, how could he be deceived by his hundreds of subordinates at this moment?
"Tell me exactly what happened just now!"
At this time, this Baihu man no longer dared to lie, so he told the story of leading his troops to charge from beginning to end.
A minute later, after listening to his men's story, Yang Hongwen was shocked and said: "Is Yong Jun really that strong?"
Baihu nodded repeatedly and said: "Strong, too strong. The armor and weapons are strong, but their people are stronger!"
Yang Hongwen said nothing. Yong's army was stronger than he thought. This was not good news.
In his mind, he thought of the imperial army that had been defeated in one blow, which made him feel extremely panicked.
"Sir, we have to get out of here, it's too dangerous..."
Yang Hongwen was reminded that it was really not advisable to stay here for a long time.
"Um!"
In response, Yang Hongwen and the hundred households walked out of the room, planning to escape back to the south.
"You have to change into common people's clothes!"
With their current attire, they don't look like ordinary people at first glance. As long as they encounter the Yong Army cavalry again, it is very likely that they will be arrested.
So the two of them entered the house again, trying to find clothes they could wear.
After looking at more than a dozen houses in a row, they managed to gather two sets of clothes. After hurriedly changing into them, they left Zhuangzi.
Going south, they avoided the official road. Although they did not encounter the Yong Army cavalry, they encountered two waves of bandits.
Nowadays, it is difficult to survive, and the people fleeing the famine hide in the mountains and make a living by hunting and robbing.
The two of them had nothing, and although they didn't kill them, they still allowed him to be beaten severely.
In the evening, Yang Hongwen had already escaped twenty miles on foot. Now they were tired and hungry, so they rested under a tree beside the official road.
In order to avoid the bandits, they had to stay close to the official road.
The two of them were lucky enough to survive the first two encounters with bandits, but who can guarantee that the bandits won't kill anyone the third time?
"His grandma's, I can't even find anything to eat!" Yang Hongwen couldn't help complaining.
The hundreds of households beside him said: "Sir, there are people fleeing from famine everywhere. Where can you find something to eat? I am so hungry that I can't run away!"
"We have to find a place to rest. This wilderness is dangerous. Let's go!"
There was no other way, so the two of them had to continue on their way, but they walked very slowly.
Judging from the decadent appearance of the two of them, they are already completely on the run and don't need to be reenacted.
Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance again, which surprised Yang Hongwen and others.
"Hide..."
Yang Hongwen took Baihu and the two of them hid in the grass inside.
"There's someone in front..."
"stop!"
Their movements were still a little slow, and they were discovered by the Yong Army cavalry who arrived.
Since they were discovered, escaping now would be courting death, so the two of them could only continue to pretend to be refugees.
"Kneel down!" Yang Hongwen said solemnly.
Since they were fleeing civilians, they should straighten their posture when they saw Yong Jun, although Yang Hongwen didn't want to kneel down.
"Why are you here?" After approaching, the Yong Army cavalry began to ask.
Although he wanted to raise his head and take a closer look at these Yong troops, Yang Hongwen resisted the urge.
"Returning to the army, the two grassroots people are fleeing..." Yang Hongwen was extremely humble.
"Now our army is going to attack the city and we need people to fill in the moat. Are you willing to go?"
"I'll give you something to eat when I get there!"
Yang Hongwen wanted to refuse, but when he heard the murderous intent in the other person's tone, he was deeply afraid that he would be chopped with a knife.
In troubled times, people fleeing from famine are like ants, killing them casually means nothing.
At least in Lingbei Dusi, killing good people and taking credit for their merits often happened, so Yang Hongwen felt that the same was true for Yong's army.
So he replied very simply: "The villain is willing!"
