nanming man

Chapter 163
On the east bank of the Yellow River, a group of people and horses suddenly appeared, and the further back, the denser the people and horses, as if the tide was rising.

Gao Yihuan rode on the black pony and stood by the road, watching his subordinates run wildly, and many people also supported each other and walked west quickly. Forward.

Now the second brother has more than 8000 war horses, which is barely enough for one person, but most of the soldiers have never even seen a horse, let alone ride a horse.

Along the way, many soldiers tried to ride them to gallop, but now most of them are lying on the carts with the wounded soldiers, so that there are so many horses in the army, but not many people ride them, and only some of them can barely sit still and walk slowly. , Let the second brother Gao feel aggrieved.

The speed of the Qing army was much faster than Gao Yihuan expected. Boluo behind him hated Gao Yihuan, and chased him day and night, and he had already appeared behind Gao Yihuan.

If Gao Yihuan had so many war horses and ran for a few days before being overtaken by the Tartars, then Gao Yihuan would be as ridiculous as being starved to death while holding a golden rice bowl.

At this time, it was the sixth day of Gao Yihuan's westward retreat from Nanwang Lake, that is, this morning, the people behind found that the Qing army was chasing him.

On the way westward from Nanwang Lake, Gao Yihuan met many people who fled to Guide, some of them were the people who were taken captive in Nanwang Lake, and some of them did not follow Ji Guofeng to Xuzhou a few days ago, but turned to return. The people of Chengwu County in Germany.

These people blocked the road, so the road was not smooth, which slowed down the speed of the army.

Gao Yihuan originally thought that most of these people would flee to South Zhili, after all, that was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time relatively rich, but unexpectedly, many people did not go south, but fled to the west, wanting to join the Dashun Army territory of control.

Gao Yihuan was puzzled at first, but after asking and thinking about it for a while, he finally understood.

Every time the Qing army invaded, it actually shook the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and its rule in the north.

Every time the Qing army invaded the bandits, it would bring disaster to the people, and at the same time show the powerlessness of the Ming Dynasty in front of the people.

If it was just once or twice, the people might still be able to bear it, but after five or six times, people couldn't bear it, and the people completely lost hope in the court.

The people in Shandong have not seen the ferocity and brutality of the robbers, but have heard the slogan of equalizing the land and exempting grain.

This time the Qing army invaded Shandong, which made them no longer trust the imperial court, so they pinned their hopes on the intruders rising from the west.

And once they choose to believe in the slogan of equalizing land for thieves and free grain, and pin their hopes on Dashun Kingdom, if you tell them that Li Zicheng is actually not a good person and is also very cruel, most of them will not believe it.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was still thirty miles away from the crossing point, and it would take at least half a day for the army to reach the river.

"Wu Shizhao, has the person who sent the messenger set off?" Gao Yihuan pulled the reins to calm the agitated war horse under his crotch.

Wu Shizhao replied with a serious expression: "Reporting to the general, the people sent out have already set off an hour ago to inform Xinghao and Captain Liu to build a pontoon bridge."

Now Gao Yihuan has too many people and supplies, and the speed of shipping is too slow. A pontoon bridge is needed to pass quickly.

Gao Yihuan was still a little worried. Seeing that the team retreating to the west had become a mess, he said in a deep voice, "If you send people over there, tell them to move quickly, and make sure that my troops can cross the river as soon as they arrive."

Wu Shizhao hurriedly clasped his fists to accept the order, when Liu Heizi galloped over again on horseback, and shouted from a long distance, "Brother Gao, the Tartars are coming so fast, we are only forty or fifty li away."

Gao Yihuan's face darkened when he heard this, and he scolded: "Straight mother! I guess the Tartars haven't slept yet. They must have been running overnight, otherwise it would be impossible to go so fast."

Liu Heizi ran over and saw the troops heading westward in the wild, and licked his lips, "Brother Gao, we really angered the Tartars this time. I don't think we will stop until the Tartars behind are killed. Zi Da Guide, you have to help me."

"Brother Liu, now is not the time to think about whether the Tartars will fight Guide or not. We have to cross the river first." Gao Yihuan said casually, and he couldn't help looking anxiously at the team.

The distance of forty or fifty miles would take a day for the infantry, but the cavalry galloped wildly, and they could kill it in more than an hour without sparing any horsepower.

At this time, Gao Yihuan saw a trace of panic on the faces of the generals around him, Jin Shenghuan worried: "General, the establishment is in chaos now, once the Tartars catch up, the consequences will be disastrous."

Gao Yihuan couldn't help pondering for a while, and suddenly waved his hand and said: "Jin Xiangang, you let the brothers throw away all the supplies on the cart, and vacate the cart, so that the soldiers with blistered soles and brothers who are exhausted can also sit in the cart. If you still If there is a place, take some people, if not, drive them off the official road, let them run north and south, and stop fleeing west."

Now Gao Yihuan has become an organization except for a small number of people, and the rest have run away.

If the Tartar cavalry caught up at this time, it would definitely be a massacre.

Jin Xiangang didn't dare to hesitate, he clasped his fists and turned around, but Liu Heizi's face was full of pain.

Gao Yihuan looked at him and said, "Brother Liu, the only way to get rid of supplies is to speed up. If we want the brigade to cross the river smoothly, we have to create some trouble for the tartars."

Liu Heizi was very alert, and looked away from Jin Xiangang who was leaving, his face darkened, "Brother Gao, you don't mean to want Brother Liu to end his heir?"

At this time, Liu Heizi was worried that he was really going to be the last one if he stayed behind. He didn't want to die and end up taking advantage of Gao Yihuan.

When Gao Yihuan saw Liu Heizi's suspicious look, he knew that Liu Heizi would not break up easily.

In fact, for Gao Yihuan, it would be best for him if Liu Heizi could be terminated. Liu Heizi succeeded and came back safely. Gao Yihuan had no loss. Inherit part of Liu Heizi's legacy.

Seeing Liu Heizi's reaction, Gao Yihuan couldn't help being surprised and said, "Why is this Heizi getting smarter and smarter? This IQ is improving so fast."

"Haha~ Brother Liu, don't get me wrong. You and I share weal and woe. Naturally, we cross the river together." Seeing Liu Heizi's distrustful eyes, Gao Yihuan could only dismiss his original thoughts and said with a quick smile, "Besides, I promised Mrs. How can you break your promise when you go back?"

Liu Heizi heard him mention Deng in a familiar tone, and couldn't help squinting: "Then how does Brother Gao want to cause trouble for the Tartars?"

Gao Yihuan didn't say clearly, "Brother Liu gathers the cavalry first, puts on two more sets of armor for everyone, and accompany two healthy horses, wait for my order~"
