Qiming 1158

Chapter 455 It's pure hell mode
At the stall where the entire Jin army collapsed, Wanyan Yiying, Wanyan Benjian, and Yi Lacheng all chose to flee.

But in the panic, they chose different escape routes.

Wanyan Yiying was the first to escape. When she set off, she was the most organized and relatively calm, so she chose the retreat route of the main force they had set before.

It is to retreat from the east line, go through Dezhou and Cangzhou, directly reach Qingzhou, and then enter Yanyun, and escape in victory.

This route is considered the safest and the shortest by them, and the Restoration Army must have no defenses.

Before escaping, Wanyan Yiying was equipped with a guide and a map, and found a route. After fighting with Han Jinggui, she was a little embarrassed, but her strength was still there, so she escaped along this road.

Wanyan ran in a hurry, and there was a map, but the guide accidentally fell to his death when he was fighting with Han Jinggui, and then chased Han Jinggui for a while. He couldn't find the escape route, so he could only follow the blurred map on the map. The directions are all the way north, quite a bit confused.

It was pure desperadoes, the map guide had nothing, and ran for the sake of escape.

The soldiers who followed him were all panicked. They fought with Han Jinggui. After losing some troops, they left Han Jinggui and fled north. He didn't know what route he was taking. He could only follow his feelings and the direction of the sun. heading north.

The three fleeing cavalry teams were divided into three escapes, which coincided with the previous plan.

But all three teams have a common problem.

Not enough food.

This is a problem that they gradually realized after a day of running away.

They felt that they had run quite far, and the warhorse was tired and panting and could no longer hold on, so they had to slow down to let the warhorse rest and the people to rest a little.

Then they realized the food problem.

According to Wanyan Benjian's order, the cavalry had two horses, one for riding and the other for carrying some food, water and the like.

The food and water had been packed according to the order, and were placed on the back of the warhorse along with some personal belongings of the soldiers, waiting to be taken away with them when they set off.

But the problem was that they were having dinner when Su Yonglin attacked. The troops were separated and they were not in the same place. Only a few troops moved faster and were fully equipped.

Such well-equipped cavalry is mainly in Wanyan Yiying's army, that is, the cavalry army that protects most of the court officials. They are well prepared, basically one person and two horses, and food is guaranteed, but even so, they also discovered question.

Many soldiers were originally not allowed to carry things, such as all kinds of property, while the total amount of food was reduced.

After receiving the report, Wanyan Yiying checked the luggage of many cavalrymen, and found that there was a lot of money and various properties. Originally, they should have carried a certain amount of food and horse materials, but now these things are not enough, and the quantity is insufficient.

Wanyan Yiying was very angry, but then he realized that the blame couldn't really be given to these soldiers, because they didn't know that this retreat was actually an escape for their lives, and Wanyan refused to speak.

Do not know is to escape, of course do not know the importance of food.

This is good. After a little calculation, Wanyan Yiying knows that the food is not enough, and the horse food is not enough. If you want to return to Yanyun smoothly, you must replenish it halfway.

How to add it?
I can only find some rural docks while escaping, and see if I can beat the autumn wind all the way back.

At the same time, we must also be prepared for the pursuit of the Restoration Army that may appear at any time.

They have to go back.

Not only the court officials, but Wanyan Liang's body was also in the queue. After a little treatment with lime, it was carried by Wanyan Yiying, so they had to go back no matter what.

Wanyan Yiying's side is the most prepared, and they are still like this, especially in the case of Wanyan Benjian and Yiyacheng.

Wanyan Ben saw that the situation was even worse. When he realized that a considerable part of the soldiers he assembled had only one horse instead of two, he realized that the problem was serious.

When he settled down a little and sent someone to identify the direction to explore the way, he slightly estimated the amount of food and horse material in the hands of the entire army, and immediately realized that these things were simply not enough for them to return to Yanyun alive.

Immediately Wanyan Ben collapsed.

"Why do so many people bring money?! Damn! Damn! Damn it all!!"

Wanyan Benjian didn't know who to blame, so he could only take his anger on those soldiers who carried money with them and those who only had one horse.

But what's the use of this?
Wanyan Benjian's spirit became a little unstable. Wanyan Zongyin, who retreated with him, had to temporarily provoke the main beam, thinking of the magic weapon that they rely on to maintain their morale all the way south.

Country Dock.

Since it is Hebei, there must be many rural docks that have not been discovered. The large troops will always encounter some when they go north, so let's see if they can fight the autumn wind all the way back.

If you're lucky, maybe you can?

Compared to Wanyan Ben seeing the tense situation here, moving to this side is pure hell.

60.00% of the soldiers only had one horse, and of the remaining 40.00%, only half carried sufficient rations and horse feed, and the other half carried a lot of strange things.

Yi Lacheng did some statistics when they stopped to rest and came to this conclusion, which made Yi Lacheng know that the food at his disposal was simply not enough to support the Central Capital, which immediately made Yi Lacheng feel a deep despair. .

Before, I only cared about escaping, and didn't care about food at all. Now that I have escaped, the problem of food has emerged.

The army has to advance, it has to eat, and the horse has to eat.

Now the weather is freezing cold, and before the beginning of spring, there is not even a green leaf on the land of Hebei, and no weeds. The horse must eat food such as grain and soybean meal to maintain the momentum. Row.

What the army lacked the most was horse material.

Good guy, trying to escape, but there is no horse material.

Moreover, he couldn't even tell which way to go, so he could only explore the road while moving forward cautiously, and he had to worry about the pursuit of soldiers behind or someone blocking him at any time.

What should I do next?
Starved to death here?
Yi Lacheng didn't know what to do, so he could only take one step at a time, and it was better to die than live.

And there are soldiers, horses, and weapons. Can't you find a way to survive on this land of Hebei?
He is strong and clear, and I can go to the countryside to beat the autumn wind. As long as I find an opportunity, I can always survive.

So Yi Lacheng led the team all the way north, saving food and horse food, and did not dare to march too fast, for fear that the people and horses would be tired, and they would not be able to move forward without food.

He didn't know who he was going to meet. The previous information was that the Hebei Guangfu Army had started a counterattack. The siege troops and the city where food were stored along the way were likely to be unfortunate, so the return journey was extremely difficult. risk.

Of course, I was very lucky to meet my own people, and I can only say that my luck was too bad when I met the Restoration Army.

When there is an interception in the front and there are chasing soldiers, it is really difficult how to go to ensure safety.

However, it was not a lucky guy who had gone for three days. After three days of walking, he did not find Xiangyewubao. Instead, he asked the war horses to eat the horse food, and even some of the soldiers began to run out of rations.

In desperation, Yi Licheng could only order the soldiers to kill the horses for food, use horse meat to replenish energy, and feed the rest of the food to the war horses to support them all the way forward.

However, he didn't know that what he thought was going all the way to the north was offset by a lot of angles. In fact, he was heading northwest. After passing Jingzhou by luck, he entered Jizhou.

In the south of Wuyi County, Yi Laicheng's troops with killing horses for food finally ran into several docks, and he almost waved his troops up in ecstasy.

The red-eyed Jin Bing, who was short of food, roared and swarmed up, just like beasts, he successfully broke through two docks and got a lot of food, so that the soldiers and horses finally had a good meal.

Of course, his luck was really bad.

Under his ecstasy, he did not restrain the army. After successfully killing two docks, some soldiers forgot his orders, set fire to the house and swayed destruction, and even struttingly made a fire to cook, as if it was a camping base.

As a result, Ma Weiying was attracted.
