Chapter 565 Encirclement(1/2)
Mal Mountain.
Maer Mountain is the highest peak in the southern part of Shengjing City, belonging to the remnants of the Thousand Mountains, located between the Liaohe Plain and the eastern mountains.
Qin Chengye's more than 10,000 people crossed the Prince River. After passing Liaoyang City, they went around the east and then walked north along the mountains.
This road can not only ride a horse, but also escape into the mountains and forests when encountering enemies.
At this time they were dismounting and taking a break...
After breaking into the enemy's hinterland, you can use war to support the war when you follow the trend. Now it has become a counter-trend, and many problems have become prominent.
All cities, fortresses and villages have added Jiannu troops, and Qin Chengye dared not lead people to rob him anymore.
Even where there is water source, there are Jiannu soldiers guarding him.
After breaking through this, these 10,000 people were already exhausted and hungry.
The more serious problem is that a large number of wounded people in the breakthrough battle were not treated and settled in a timely manner, and the injuries became more and more serious.
Even though Qin Chengye had a lifetime of military service and had rich experience in leading troops, he was still in a mess now and could not come up with a solution.
"Qin Xuanming, Qin Xuance, you can take people up the mountain to watch and look for the water source."
"yes."
Lin Shaoyuanzong immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Master, the wounded can't hold on..."
Qin Chengye rode his horse backwards, and looked at the lightly injured, but the situation of the seriously injured behind was already very bad.
The constant bumps aggravated their injuries. Now hundreds of people have fallen to the ground and dying.
The injured horse lay on the ground licking the wound, with tears in his eyes.
Qin Chengye rode his horse slowly, and the huge sadness pressed down, almost crushing his old body.
But he was still erect and his eyes swept over the seriously injured.
"Master, the young man... can still hold on."
The talking soldier covered his abdomen, but blood continued to flow out from his fingers.
Qin Chengye didn't say anything, looked at him deeply, and suddenly his old eyes turned red.
The injured person opened his mouth again, and blood surged up from his throat, and a gurgling sound.
He wanted to laugh but couldn't. After a while, a layer of gray suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"The handsome guy... I can't hold on anymore... I'll give me a knife..."
From being able to hold on to being unable to hold on, his injury did not change much, but he just understood that he was already a drag on the siege.
"Give me a knife...it hurts too much..."
With his shout, many seriously injured spoke one after another.
"The little one's life was given by the Grand Marshal... It's already enough..."
"You... must go back alive, and your little family... please give me the handsome guy..."
Qin Chengye closed his eyes and tried hard not to cry.
Everyone knows that these seriously injured people who can no longer take away the horse.
If they are left here, only a more cruel fate awaits them.
Qin Chengye wanted to give the next order, opened his mouth, but there was only a hoarse tearing sound in his throat.
"I will be the commander's soldier in my next life..."
The next moment, a seriously injured person struggled and tried hard to lift the knife and cut his neck.
He was already powerless and cut his throat with one knife, but the man had not died immediately.
In the great pain, he trembled, but could not make any sound.
Qin Chengye quickly stepped forward, thrust his knife, and stabbed him into his heart.
"Well……"
Qin Chengye knelt on the ground holding the corpse, and his old hands stroked his face.
“Hand it.”
The two words "simple and powerful".
The veteran still knelt there and did not raise his head again.
Only a drop of turbid tears fell on the faces of the dead soldiers...
Nearly a thousand soldiers walked out, gently hugged their comrades' heads, and then waved their swords.
Then they dug up the land and buried the bodies.
"Still it, don't let someone disturb them again..." Lin Shaoyuan said slowly.
The horse's hooves trampled back and forth, like stepping on the heart of every soldier...
Soon, Qin Xuance and Qin Xuanming led people to rush down from Mount Ma'er.
"Go away! Jiannu is here!"
"Damn it, I haven't drunk a sip of water yet." Qin Shanqu cursed.
More than 10,000 people quickly got on their horses and rushed to the north.
After only ten miles, I suddenly saw flags waving in front of me, and sand and dust were rising...
"There are enemy troops!"
The Guanning Iron Cavalry quickly turned to the horse's head and ran eastward.
Qin Chengye's face was calm and he rode his horse all the way. While turning around, he turned north, but saw that Jiannu did not drive the horse to chase him and still slowly advanced.
Seeing this scene, Qin Chengye's face turned gloomy instead. He raised his hand and ordered: "Slow down the marching! Cherish the horsepower!"
The marching speed slowed down, Lin Shaoyuan rode his horse over and clasped his fists and said, "Master General?"
"Jiannu doesn't pursue us, it means we are surrounded."
Qin Shanqu's face changed and he cursed: "Damn, how did they know that we are here?"
"If you can't guess, he is not Huang Taiji." Qin Chengye said, with deep concern in his eyes.
Ten thousand people rushed east for more than ten miles, turned over a mountain, and saw flags waving in the distance ahead, and another group of Qing troops were suddenly seen.
Qin Chengye knew very well that the longer the delay, the more dense the enemy's siege was. He was determined to break through, but at this moment he saw the team of men in front of him wearing yellow flags, lined up in an orderly manner, and had great combat power, and it was difficult to break through in a short period of time.
"Let's go north again!"
More than 10,000 people turned their horses' heads again, walked around the mountain, and passed in the northeast direction.
After running like this several times, I found that there were Jiannu soldiers and horses everywhere, and there was no gap within dozens of miles.
When he ran to Jiabao Mountain, several horses in the formation neighed and fell to the ground.
Qin Chengye reached out to touch his horse's neck, and saw that the horse under his seat was already sweating profusely and exhausted his energy.
The terrifying shadow brought to him by Huang Taiji came up in his heart again. He looked back and looked at the faces of soldiers, and a sadness surged in his heart.
There is no way out.
There was no time to be sentimental, Qin Chengye tied the reins, took a deep breath, shouted: "My boys!"
"I am incompetent, I can't take you back to the pass again..."
The whole army was silent.
"The two major battles in Liaoyang, once, the 100,000 Jiannu army was flooded by the strange plan of the Marquis of Huaiyuan, and once, the 100,000 soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banners were defeated by the Lord. You are all good! Now you are surrounded by heavy siege, because I am incompetent, and I am drowning in my old body, and I am dozing off my mind, which has ruined the lives of you heroic soldiers."
The next moment, a huge roar suddenly broke out from the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
"I don't want to go to the inner city!"
"We are willing to die in Liaodong in battle!"
"We are willing to die in Liaodong..."
The roar echoed over and over again, as if hitting the mountain in the distance.
The clouds rolled and the clouds were swaying, as if they were drunk.
Qin Chengye turned his head and cried.
This time, he no longer avoided them from crying.
He raised the sword in his hand high.
"Since that's the case, we can only fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
...
On the side of Jiabaoshan, cavalrymen appeared, gathered into a sharp arrow, and rushed towards Shengjing City without hesitation.
To be continued...
