Chapter 198 Wolf Crying Ghosts
Night has already fallen, and sparse stars rise in the deep sky.
Accompanied by the 'kicks and treads' from far to near, the harsh sound of weapons colliding from the jingle, and the sound of heavy breathing..., etc., the remnants of the coalition forces of Dou Jiande and Zhao Junde were in a mess, and fled on the way back to Qinghe County. In the dusk, the shadows seemed to be like a group of large herbivores who were shocked by beasts. They were just spreading their four hooves, silenced their heads, and fled in the panic with one foot deep and one foot shallow...
Not to mention, the coalition forces of Dou Jiande and Zhao Junde who were defeated and fleeing should be rushing forward than other anti-Sui tyrants who were defeated and fleeing, and the overall military awareness was much stronger: one was that the soldiers who were defeated and fleeing knew to "return to build" as much as possible, and the other was that as generals, they could still withdraw troops in the back.
It was because the two brave generals Yin Qiu and Shi Zan, who followed Sun Anzu (already died long ago) and Dou Jiande, were able to appear in the back team to restrain their troops after being defeated and withdrew, and carried out corresponding blocking. The so-called "defense people always run faster than the pursuers" that more than half of the remaining remaining troops of Dou Jiande's troops and Zhao Junde's troops were preserved, and temporarily got rid of the pursuit of the pursuers behind them.
However, although he was temporarily free from the pursuit of the pursuers, when Yu Guang was still alive before nightfall, Yin Qiu and Shi Zan, who were in the retreating team, had seen from afar: Yang Yuanhong, the troops of Pingyuan Tongguan and another army that had no idea where they came from, were still falling behind, as if they had the determination to chase their defeated soldiers to the ends of the world and never give up.
Therefore, the pursuit soldiers' seemingly "weird" behavior also aroused the high alertness of Yin Qiu and Shi Zan, which made the two of them urged the remnants to speed up their escape speed and dared not stop and rest for a moment, and did not dare to leave the rear team half a step away from the rear team to guard against the pursuit soldiers who suddenly launched an assault.
No matter how fast the defeated soldiers ran, they were only two tui. Yin Qiu and Shi Zan were worried that the iron cavalry that appeared under the county town would suddenly chase after him. If the iron cavalry also chased him, the remaining soldiers who were almost out of power led by the two would definitely not escape the fate of destruction.
In fact, Yin Qiu and Shi Zan, who were like frightened birds, were also a little worried about being too far! How could they know? Xu Shiye's command only has the three hundred "baby" cavalry, and he was reluctant to consume it unnecessary in this pursuit process that would not play much role in the battle situation!
Similarly, because Yin Qiu and Shi Zan were able to fulfill their responsibilities as generals of the army loyally, they accidentally saved their lives!
The remnants of Dou Jiande's troops and Zhao Junde's troops, all of whom were running away with panting and fleeing, gradually entered the only way back to Qinghe: the narrow mountain road of Daqing Mountain.
The narrow path between the mountains of Daqing Mountain, which has a landform that spans more than ten miles is that both sides of the narrow path are rolling hills and mountains. However, on the Hebei Plain, there are few steep plank roads that can only be climbed by a single person. The narrow path of Daqing Mountain is only undulating with a large slope, with hills and mountains on both sides. In fact, in addition to being extremely uneven, the narrow path is still wide and can still be used to walk several times together.
The narrow mountain road of Daqing Mountain, the Qing River, the after-all road leading to Zheng County, these fled Dou Jiande and Zhao Junde’s remnants of the coalition forces had actually passed by once. In fact, many of them were still very familiar with this road because they were locals.
However, when I passed this road to escape tonight, I felt like the mentality of a frightened bird. Many of the tribes were moving forward with exhaustion, like a "lead-filled" and looking at the dark hills and mountains on both sides, and I felt a sense of creepy feeling of wanting to exclaim.
Especially at this time, Yin Qiu and Shi Zan, who were still riding their horses in the back team, drove the horse together and subconsciously heading toward the mountains and hills on both sides, Shi Zan said to Yin Qiu without realizing his voice a little out of voice: "Yin, Brother Yin! Is it good to let the men ignite the torch? I always feel something is wrong. Both sides of the road are full of mountains, those Sui army will not have ambush here, right? Ye, before Ye Ye, before we climbed up the high and observed that the pursuers behind us were still there? Are they planning to block our army's retreat when launching the ambush?"
I was worried that there would be an ambush and planned to light a torch. If there was an ambush, it would inevitably provide the ambush with an accurate position at night. It can be seen that Shi Zan's contradictory mentality of "unwilling to worry" at this time!
"This..." Yin Qiu, who was a little mocking Shi Zan's words in his heart, immediately changed his mind, but felt that Shi Zan's prediction of "ambushing and pursuing soldiers" was quite reasonable, so he hesitated for a moment. Piaotian Wenxue.com revealed his thoughts and opinions, but it was too late!
Before Yin Qiu could continue to speak the preface that had just spit out the word "this", he continued to speak, but he heard the rolling and crawling ahead, and the rushing sounds of the troops who were rushing to the sky made a series of sāo movements and noisy sounds, and then he heard a very shrill and harsh whistling sound, and the heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching howls that came to the sky...
It turned out that out of the instinct of saving lives, the Dou Jiande's troops and the remnants of the Zhao Junde's troops who were desperately rushing to the road gradually penetrated into the middle of the narrow road of Daqingshan. When the tribes in front looked up, they looked up in a shadow. Against the sparse and lonely starlight, the road ahead was blocked by clusters of black shadows. These clusters of black shadows that were difficult to distinguish under the night sky extended to the half-slope slopes on both sides...
In amazement, the tribes in front subconsciously staggered and stopped numb footsteps in their rush. However, because there were still things behind, the other tribes who flocked to the crowd naturally suddenly bumped the tribes in front of them, and kept cursing. As the number of tribes rushing up behind continued to increase, the bad situation of crying and calling for their parents spread further, and soon extended the sāluàn to the back team...
As Dou Jiande's troops and Zhao Junde's troops rose up under the night sky, they began to have nightmares without lying down and closing their eyes!
When the hustle and bustle of Dou Jiande's troops and Zhao Junde's troops were still in full swing, a loud sound of a horn suddenly came from behind the clusters of black shadows blocking the road ahead...
Accompanied by the loud sound of horns, a series of dull strings sounds of "bang, bang..." were immediately heard. Then, there were a series of shrill and harsh whistling sounds of split winds, followed by the captivating howling sounds of the sky that rang out into the sky...
