Hong Xuanjiao was panicked and confused. After hearing the advice of the general of Xia Shu Town, she immediately nodded and said: "Okay, let's take the trail to retreat to Xia Shu Town. Hurry, we all cross the river and take the trail."
At this moment, Hong Xuanjiao looked like a puppet, retreating surrounded by soldiers.
"The killer."
"Capture Hong Xuanjiao, take Hong Xuanjiao back."
…
Various roars were heard in the woods and on the official road. As the roars came out, large flags appeared in sight. The sound was huge, as if there were thousands of troops hiding in the woods. Hong Xuanjiao heard the shouts from behind. There was a killing sound, and he looked back at the mighty Qing army. He was so frightened that he thought Li Zhen was coming with a large army.
Hong Xuanjiao's heart skipped a beat and she secretly said that Li Zhen was too cunning to have so many soldiers.
When she sent troops from Longtan Town, she got the news that Li Zhen only brought two thousand soldiers to attack Xia Shu Town, but now it seems that Li Zhen deliberately spread the number of two thousand soldiers to lower her vigilance, thus Attracting her to send troops to pursue, and then want to annihilate the soldiers led by her, Hong Xuanjiao did not consider the rationality, and subconsciously thought that Li Zhen led the entire army to attack.
She fled with the soldiers and kept running towards the river.
On the road, corpses were lying on the ground, already covered in blood.
Li Zhen led his soldiers out of the woods with a smile on his face and no worry on his face. Although Hong Xuanjiao had more than 10,000 soldiers, the soldiers led by Hong Xuanjiao were not a whole body. They were composed of Dongyang Town, Xia Shu Town and Longtan Town was composed of three camps. After the formation was disrupted, the soldiers only worried about whether they could escape and trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.
Li Zhen didn't take this kind of army seriously at all.
Li Zhen and Long Ao followed slowly, without rushing to catch up. The army approached the river. When Li Zhen discovered that Hong Xuanjiao was leading the army to cross the river again, he laughed heartily.
"Shoot, shoot me indiscriminately."
Li Zhen asked the soldiers to stop and fired indiscriminately.
"Bang, bang,,."
Intense gunshots continued to echo along the river. Countless Taiping soldiers were shot and sank into the water. Their blood dyed the river red, and the entire river turned red.
Hong Xuanjiao ran in front. After crossing the river, she glanced at the enemy troops on the other side who had not yet crossed the river. Her eyes were full of hatred. However, she had no choice but to organize the soldiers to retreat as quickly as possible. After the Taiping Army crossed the river, there was no Without stopping at all, they continued to run forward in a swarm, for fear of being shot by bullets.
When Li Zhen saw this, he still didn't rush to pursue him.
Earlier, Li Zhen asked the soldiers to wave flags and shout, pretending to be as powerful as a tiger, in order to intimidate Hong Xuanjiao, so that Hong Xuanjiao would not dare to stop for a decisive battle. If the opponent pursued him immediately after crossing the river, it would be easy to expose his situation. This was not in line with Li Zhen's ideas, so Li Zhen did not pursue immediately.
In response, Hong Xuanjiao took a breath because the river widened the distance between the two parties.
As she rushed forward, Hong Xuanjiao's delicate body was exposed again. She ran forward, her wet clothes clinging to her skin, and her breasts trembling. It was very tempting, but all the soldiers were busy running for their lives, and there was no People had free time to look at Hong Xuanjiao's hot body. Hong Xuanjiao's mind was not on herself. She looked at the three guards of Dongyang Town, Xia Shu Town and Longtan Town who were following her, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and take advantage of the opportunity." Li Zhen's army is still crossing the river, we must retreat quickly."
The guard of Xia Shu Town turned around and glanced at the corpses on the official road, with a look of pain in his eyes.
His eyes fell on the staggering soldiers, and it was no longer clear who they belonged to.
More importantly, more than half of the soldiers were lost and the casualties were heavy.
This situation made the generals of Xia Shu Town very heartbroken, and the same was true for the guards of Dongyang Town and Longtan Town. The two even secretly complained that Hong Xuanjiao had made a mistake in command. Li Zhen was obviously hiding on the wide official road, but Hong Xuanjiao was so self-righteous. Thinking that there is no danger on the official road, he finally met Li Zhen.
If you take the trail, all problems will disappear.
The two of them looked at each other. In addition to a trace of dissatisfaction and resentment, there was also endless worry in their eyes. They were worried about their next situation. If they were caught up by Li Zhen, they would definitely be dead.
The group of people soon returned to the main road and approached the place leading to the trail.
Seeing this, Hong Xuanjiao stopped to take a breath, with a look of joy on her face. She took a short rest, then continued to move forward with the army, and soon entered the trail. Because the road was narrow, the soldiers had to form a long line. , the soldiers marched forward one by one, like a long snake lying across the official road.
Entering the trail, the guards of Xia Shu Town, Dongyang Town and Longtan Town all breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I got rid of Li Zhen temporarily.
Because the trail was narrow, and the trail was surrounded by rolling hillsides, this road restricted the speed of the soldiers and made them unable to move forward quickly. After the army had been on the road for half an hour, they heard shouts of killing coming from behind. Hong Xuanjiao and After the other generals heard this, they were all frightened and ran forward quickly.
Obviously, Li Zhen chased after him with his soldiers.
When the army was rushing forward, there was a high mountain on the right side of the trail, which was lush and lush.
"Hey, Hong Xuanjiao, I've been waiting here for a long time, so I'll die." Just as everyone was rushing forward quickly, a tiger roar came from the path ahead, and Lu Shaochuan rushed forward with a pair of soldiers. When they came out, this group of soldiers waved flags and shouted. The flags fluttered in the wind, like long winding snakes running towards them with great momentum.
When Hong Xuanjiao saw this, her eyes suddenly widened and she froze on the spot. Such a momentum was probably no less than four or five thousand people. Add to that the fighting power of Li Zhen's soldiers, how could the defeated soldiers she led be able to stop them.
There is a large army blocking you in front, and there are chasing troops coming to kill you. There are enemies in front and behind you. What should you do?
Hong Xuanjiao's face showed a look of despair, and she looked around, showing the cowardice of a woman. At the same time, the guards of Longtan Town and Dongyang Town were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their legs trembled, and they almost fell to the ground. People looked at the generals in Shu Town, wondering what to do.
The guard general of Xia Shu Town was a capable man. He made a prompt decision and said loudly: "Mother Xiao, rush to the mountain on the right. We will go up the mountain and use the barriers of the mountains and forests to resist."
"Okay, go up the mountain, go up the mountain immediately."
Hong Xuanjiao seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and directly agreed to the proposal of the guard general of Xia Shu.
The guards of Dongyang Town and Longtan Town were so frightened that they heard the advice of the general of Xia Shu Town. Without saying a word, they turned around and ran towards the mountain. The generals did this, and the soldiers followed suit. These soldiers did not pay attention at first, and saw Whichever direction the general runs, they will naturally run in the same direction.
Soon, the army gathered into a long snake and rushed towards the mountain. When Lu Shaochuan saw it, he smiled and just chased with his soldiers in a symbolic way, but did not go up the mountain.
After a short time, Li Zhen's army caught up and joined Lu Shaochuan. The two armies merged together. Lu Shaochuan said hey: "Commander, Hong Xuanjiao led the army up the mountain and achieved the goal."
