57 Retreat
?The two of them stayed on the boat until dark before they dared to get off the boat to buy some food and thick mattresses. Because they went north, it became even colder, and the items in Xu Hangbei could not withstand the cold.
Zhong You's lips and tongue were bitter, and the hemp rope tied between his wrist had never been untied in the past two days, making his wrist red. Half of his body was numb, so he had to turn over and put it on the board to breathe, and listen carefully. Lai Zi walked hard, and he could hear clearly when he stepped on the board. Although Liu Sanlai was light, he liked to drag the soles of his shoes and listen to the rubbing sound. Now he was quiet for a while, and he must have got off the boat.
Zhong You's lips were stained with the bowl on the edge, took a mouthful of cold water, gasped slightly, and knelt down hard. However, he had not eaten for a long time, and then he felt dizzy. He leaned against the side wall and moved towards the rough stone placed behind the ladder. This stone was used just in case, once he died on the boat, the two of them would tether him to the river. There were many people on the road, and they dared not let Zhong You stop rotting for a long time.
The hemp rope that had been rubbed all night was pressed against the corner of the stone, and the dull stones rubbed each other, and the hemp rope was ground out of the gap. But this took too long, Lai Zi's voice was loud. When he followed Liu San to board the boat, he let out a "ouch" sound. The boat shook slightly. He carried the rice bag on his shoulder again and said, "My insincere, don't add one more handful!"
"Jiangtang people are used to being thief spirits. Can we take advantage of it?" Liu Sanlai walked to the edge of the plywood, untied the bolt, and looked down.
Zhong You was still lying underneath, his temples were wet, his breathing was hot, and his face was sick. When Liu Sanlai saw that he was still gasping for someone, he felt relieved and closed the board again.
The two of them bought bacon today, and it was about to be the Spring Festival. They were going to make do with the New Year tonight. It was Liu San's intention to come out of wine, for fear of misleading things. The two of them used bacon by the small stove and wanted to stay in the river pond for a night, so they each silenced and slept in the cabin.
At night, when the wind blew, Lai Zi slept beside the curtain. The coldness on her back was cold, and the person wrapped the quilt tightly and squeezed it in. Unexpectedly, the cold wind kept running. Lai Zi squinted his eyes and grabbed his back. He grabbed a cold hand. Lai Zi suddenly shivered and woke up. Before he could turn over and sit up, he was covered with a sour and smelly cloth bag and knocked it around.
"What are you doing! Who, who!"
Liu Sanlai got up, saw the situation and hugged his head and shook his horns, and said in surprise, "Everyone, heroes! I'm here, what are you doing!"
The curtain was opened, and the boat was filled with people in rags. Most of them were people who fled from Xu Hang to Jiangtang and now they still had to continue to flee north. Many of them were dragging their families and their hands were shrunk in the cold wind. Many of them were hungry, all of whom were smelling the smell of meat.
"Grain! Rice, give you rice bags." Liu Sanlai reached out and dragged the rice bags, pushed them over, begging, "We two brothers passed by, and they also came to Xu Hang. Brothers, I'll give this rice to all grandparents... After taking the rice, get off the boat, ah?"
No one answered him, and the remaining bacon was covered in a bowl. When someone lifted the lid, the crowd became a little restless. The grain transferred under the river pond was in the merchant entrance, and the following ones, let alone meat, even rice and flour were all hopes. There were so many people, Liu Sanlai was just a small boat, and he couldn't feed the people even if he sold him. Lai Zi was knocked so hard that Liu Sanlai had to go down the bunk and raised his hand to signal the people to take it casually. He leaned against the side and exited the cabin.
This is the robbery, but now the soldiers of Jiangtang Mansion are afraid of making a move, so who can maintain the situation? Liu Sanlai was so anxious that he was furious. Zhong You was still shut down. He could give everything on the ship, but the ship must stay.
Lai Zi was knocked so hard that he was swearing, and several people worked together to lift him up. Liu Sanlai hurriedly stopped him: "Hero! We have given this thing, let's just let it go, let's get it? Take it for food, this boat... This boat is my brother who saves his life..."
Someone spat: "The Qingping Army has fucked back, and now they are staring at the ship and rushing to escape!"
Liu Sanlai was shocked: "How long has it been to fight before he will retreat?"
There were many people squeezing into the boat to grab food, and the scolding and fists were mixed. Liu Sanlai took advantage of the chaos and took off the cloth bag on Lai Zi's head and jumped into the water. It was more important to save his life than money!
Lai Zi was thrusting in the water, thinking about Zhong You, and wanted to climb back, dragging Liu Sanlai and said anxiously, "Third Brother! That person is still on the boat! If you give it up like this, will we run away in vain this trip?"
"Go! Go!" Liu Sanlai made a move, "So many people are waiting to eat people! It's useless to tell people anything! Didn't you hear it? Qingpingjun retreated!" He slapped the water and made a silence: "I'm so careless! I should continue walking tonight! If we had passed Shanyin before, we could pay the money!"
This business was obtained by him at first begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother, so he watched this trip and earned enough money. He ran to the north early, and set up a house to wait for the war to end before coming. But who would have encountered such an accident on the way? Even if he regretted it, he could not.
When the man trembled and climbed ashore, he pulled Lai Zi again and asked coldly: "You, you didn't give Zhong Baiou a clear idea? If he ran out and turned around and looked for someone, we couldn't escape!"
Lai Zi hugged her shoulders and shivered. She carried water with cotton coats and clamped ice in the cold wind. He trembled and said, "No, I didn't dare to mention it, I'm afraid of being guessed." He suddenly straightened his eyes and said to Liu Sanlai, "Third brother, this person is gone, but it may not be possible to live. It's so messy, it's hard for him to find someone! Otherwise, we will hurry back and hand it over to someone... and say it's Zhong Baiou..."
Liu San paused, his eyes shook, and he murmured: "You can't get away with this..."
"So many people died on the road, and no one knows how to scratch their faces!" Lai Zi swallowed his saliva, "If a person wants to listen to a reply, he may not really come to check the body. We will leave after taking the money. Even if we find it out later, then... it won't be our fault!"
Liu Sanlai looked at the dark water surface and thought of the heavy silver. He finally responded: "... Then just do it... and leave after taking the money."
The boy who was stuffing bacon into his mouth was pushed and threw it on the board and almost spit it out. He covered his mouth and swallowed it down, and was choked to death. The rice bag had been torn apart, and everyone used their hands to snatch the rice. The boy beat his chest and kicked him hard, and kicked him twice on his back. He heard the man cursing "the wild beast who snatched food". He didn't care, and there was still a smell of meat in his mouth.
The sudden "bang" sound under the board shocked him. He was scrambling and beating and scolding everywhere. No one heard the knocking sound except him who was sticking to the board.
He thought it was the sound of a man stomping, but as he was thinking, there was another shock of smashing. He lifted the blanket on the floor and saw a lock. The boy was a little scared, maybe it was something that people raised. He didn't dare to touch the lock, so he quickly covered the blanket, crawled between the legs and feet, curled up in the corner, hugged and waited for the person to grab the things, and wanted to squeeze the boat to escape north.
Zhong You broke the rope, but couldn't push the ply. The footsteps above were chaotic, and he thought that something had happened. But no matter how he smashed the board, no one looked for a sound to unlock the lock. The darkness was wet, and Zhong You became colder. He shouted loudly, but no one heard of it.
The ship left the shore at night and arrived at Jiangtang. It was a coincidence that he missed this ship in Jiangtang.
Shi Yu's dagger burned the tip of the blade, slashed into his waist, and picked out a small piece of gravel. He bit a pen, sweat dripped along his temples. He picked out the stone slag and shook half a can of wound medicine powder on it, wrapping the gauze tightly, and even if it was done.
Zhong Xie had retreated his troops to Qingping, and the various prefectures had completed the strict investigation. Shi Yu had to fulfill his promise and take his men to delay the pursuit of the Yi soldiers, giving Shanyin Army and Qingping Army enough time to make arrangements.
He was still in Xu Hang. He was almost hit by the single-shot shelling stone of the Yi soldiers during the confrontation today, and he was injured more than before.
Shi Yu had a self-knowledge, and with the people left by Zhong Xie, he had a total of more than 5,000 people. The Yi soldiers were expected to be more than 60,000. He was promoted with heavy weapons, so he decided to conquer the place, rather than crossing the border and robbing. Shi Yu could not face the enemy head-on, he only needed to harass and interfere with the rhythm of the Yi soldiers' attack.
As soon as the gauze was wrapped, someone lifted the cotton curtain and came in. It was Su Shuo who came from Shanyin. He came in and rubbed his hands and said, "It's getting colder here. There is no stove. You have to pay attention to it. Don't get the wind and cold."
Even if I suffer from the cold, I have to stand up.
Shi Yu put on his shirt, "Have you given Jingqian's power crossbow here?"
Su Shuo was angry and patted him on the shoulder, "We have only these things in total. We are rushing to get rid of the Yi soldiers and can immediately return them to Jingquan when we turn back. Of course, Master is worried about you. These nearly a thousand powerful crossbows are enough to block a road. I will only tell you, Xiaoliu, we must not fight against the Yi soldiers head-on. The troops are very different. If we lose our advantage on the front, we have no chance of winning."
"Yes." Shi Yu buckled and asked, "Have Jiangtang started to check?"
"After checking, when Lord Zhong retreated, he also took the waterway to search for the passing ships. As long as it was still in the long river, he would definitely find it." Su Shuo saw that he had neither showed his face nor frown, so he knew that he was still not relieved. So he comforted him: "Sir, the good guy has his own appearance. We can find it by ourselves after these few days, which is always more at ease than others. But in terms of speed and range, we have to rely on various prefectures at the moment. Even if you are concerned, don't neglect the war in front of you."
Shi Yu didn't say anything, his deep eyes did not fluctuate. He put the dagger into the outside of his calf, and carried the vertex on his body, and stepped onto his steps to lift the curtain. The fire at night hit his cheeks, and he said, "Brother."
Su Shuo was about to call him, but when he heard this, he stopped the knife he was about to hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Yu turned his head and looked back, and he said, "I still want to guard the sir when I am going home this time."
"That's true." Su Shuo smiled: "I don't think I'm disgusted with such a good student."
Shi Yu's eyes were dark. He wanted to say no, but I wanted to guard the husband, from now until the end, never leave or let go of him. He was together for the rest of his life, and was pleasing to him and longing for him.
I just miss him.
The Yi Bing's heavy weapon sounded loudly, and Shi Yu didn't startle his elder brother at this moment. He turned around and was about to take people into the darkness. But Su Shuo chased him out and took a knife to him.
"This is what the master gave you." Su Shuo caressed the last knife and said, "Take Bai Zhan with me. I will bring people and set up a collapsed pit and strait, and wait for you on Qingping. I will pay attention on the way, and the sir will definitely come back."
Meng Chen's "Hundred Battles" is reportedly named by the Marquis of Jing. Meng Chen took it to fight the Wanze attack and the Beiyang defense war. It has never been humiliated. It is a real sword that I cherished forever. Su Shuo was Meng Chen's first apprentice in the museum. He looked up at the sword until now, and had longed to pass it to him. Today, he handed it to Shi Yu himself.
"The foreigners will not retreat, so why not talk about family affairs. I am happy that you can take this responsibility. Xiao Liu." Su Shuo opened his arms and hugged Shi Yu, patting him hard on the back, "You are not tilting, you are walking steadily on this road. Let's go home tomorrow, and my brother will take you to drink good wine!"
"Okay." Shi Yuhui patted Su Shuo on the shoulder, took a step back, smiled, turned around and took the knife and stepped into the darkness.
The Yi soldiers used heavy weapons to chase the Qingping Army, and the disadvantages were exposed. It was because heavy weapons were difficult to move, and it took time and effort. Shi Yu retreated very steadily, and led the Yi soldiers to the abdomen of Changheo while retreating, and even took the ruthlessness to shoot. There were many Yi soldiers killed by him at night or in street battles. These five thousand people were scattered and hidden, and the Yi soldiers were elusive, so that they could not catch them at all.
The Yi Bing had a weak leg when it was blown up in Xu Hang. Now, Shi Yu also used gunpowder along the way. The Yi Bing's anger attacked the heart but had nowhere to vent. This wandering tactic is very disgusting, headache, but it is really difficult to grasp. It is conspicuous and difficult to hide. It is too difficult to hide its shape. As long as the Yi Bing is a little careless, Shi Yu can destroy a weapon. Although this force is not fatal, after following along the way, although the troops and horses have not decreased, three of the bed crossbows were damaged. In addition, the most terrifying thing for the Yi Bing was the powerful crossbow.
This kind of arm-mounted crossbow can be shot. When retreating, it comes and goes quickly and has a fatal lethality. This is a message that even the internal agent cannot provide. Only Shi Yu is clear about these five thousand people.
On the other side, Zhong Xie retreated to Qingping, and King Pingding had already crossed the boundary from Shanyin to treat each other. The two armies gathered together, and Zhong Xie handed over the command. King Pingding thought about it repeatedly and finally set the battlefield of confrontation with the Yi soldiers in Changhe Valley and Qingping Army Camp. Because the Changhe Valley is narrow and open, it is a place that is very easy to surround and attack. Now I am waiting for Shi Yu to lead the Yi soldiers into the trap and defeat them in one fell swoop.
Two more days.
Shi Yu had retreated to a place close to Qingping.
The boy was cold and held his hands and feet to hold him a little heat. He kept huddling in the corner and did not dare to run around, for fear of being carried off the boat. The boat was small, and in the past few days, he had pushed someone down to fight for food. He rubbed his arms back and forth, and his stomach was so hungry that he rang out.
At night, he took advantage of the sleeping of others and pulled out something from the bottom of the shop. He only wanted to find something to eat, but after rummaging over and over, there was only a densely written account book. He couldn't understand the words, but he shook out the paper from it. When he opened it, he found that it was not the words, but a neat picture of the house.
The characters are beautiful and the paintings are neat, and they look pretty precious. He secretly hid these two things in his arms, waiting for the boat to lean on Qingping, and went down to find someone to sell them to see if he could exchange them for some food.
There was no sound of knocking under the plywood today. I wonder if it was dead... The young man shrank. He didn't sound like a beast these days, but he should be a person. He didn't dare to look at it or tell others. If there were too many people and too many mouths, what if he let it go... what if he threw him down?
The next day, the boat was docked, and it was the Spring Festival of the Yuan Dynasty. It was still snowing in Qingping, and the boat was so cold. The man who robbed the boat thought of selling the boat, but he thought that he would sell the boy on the way. He was all silver and could make a living in Qingping. But who knew that before he could do anything, the boy jumped into the ship and ran away.
They stopped at the edge of Qingping. The long river was calm now. I heard that the Changhe Valley was frozen and ice. The boy knew that it was not good when he got off the boat. Because the road was depressed, it was obvious that a group of people had been withdrawn. Now that he had withdrawn, he could only fight!
He stepped on the snow barefoot and became more and more anxious, not knowing where to escape.
Shi Yu grabbed the snow and stuffed it into his mouth. He split the fingertips of the powerful crossbow and slid blood beads, dyeing the snow red. The people in front of him crawled back from the snow and gestured to Shi Yu.
The Yi soldiers followed.
Shi Yu turned the dismantled crossbow on his back, bowed to everyone waiting behind and raised his hand to signal back. He said concisely: "Retreat the alley, the old rules."
This means that they have to lead the Yi soldiers into the street and kill one in the alley. Now they have arrived in Qingping. In another five days, they can retreat to the Changhe Valley, and the rest should be left to the Shanyin Army and the Qingping Army.
At this moment, there were only more than 3,000 people left, and there was no sound. They quickly retreated from the snow with their waists. Taking advantage of the night that was about to come, they were about to ambush the alley. Before Shi Yu could enter the alley, he heard people calling him.
"Brother Yu!" A man from Mengguan emerged from the alley and waved to him. Shi Yu went over, and the brothers all squatted in a dark spot. The man said to him, "I picked up a boy! I'm going to freeze to death, can we send him to the back?"
Shi Yu didn't say anything, the man let go. The man on their cat wall waved his hand and pulled out a boy wrapped in a big sheep's jacket. He stared at the person for a while and nodded. The man immediately smiled and was about to take the boy back. The man on the cat wall leaned his head again, closed his hands and whispered: "Wait! You forgot to take the human thing." He said and threw down a book.
This page was blown by the cold wind, and the paper stuck inside suddenly slammed into the snow. Shi Yu leaned over and picked it up, suddenly picked up the boy's back collar, and said coldly, "Where did you come from?"
The boy was so scared that he said tremblingly, "Xu, Xu Hang fled..."
Shi Yu interrupted him: "Where did the thing come from?"
The boy was so scared that he choked up, "The boat, picked up on the boat. It was still parked on the other end..."
Shi Yu retreated and turned around, but before the man stepped out of the alley, the damn single-sled cannon slammed over the stone! The Yi soldiers were cautious this time and did not rush straight, but instead used the stone to explore the way first. The sound of trumpets shook at night, and the stone strikes came out in intensive attacks. On the shore that was leaning aside, the people who had not yet escaped were screaming with their heads in their arms.
Shi Yu heard someone crying: "The boat has capsized!"
Zhong You'd hit the plywood with a broken bowl, and the hull suddenly shook. First, the boats were hit, and when they overturned, they hit a piece. The people on the boat were still screaming and began to escape to the shore. There were many boats that stopped. They didn't think that, but now they were crowding up to escape, and only then did they know that there were still many people left. The wooden bridge was narrow, and they squeezed down in the water and cried and cried to climb to the shore. But the overwhelming heavy stones broke the bridge, and the people went into the water like dumplings. There was another blow behind, hitting Zhong You's boat.
The entire hull was slanting and Zhong You suddenly hit the ladder. He smashed the plyboard wildly, and the lock was shaking, but it was not broken. The heavy stone hit again with a bang. The hull cracked and broke, and the bottom was shaking violently. The crack began to gush and water began to rise, but the crack was narrow and he couldn't get out.
Zhong You pulled on the slanted ladder and kicked the plyboard hard.
The terrible lie! This is so stable!
The hull bumped again and sank faster. The water came up in the blink of an eye, and the shunt was loose, and Zhong You kicked it with all his might.
The water suddenly passed, and Zhong You was hungry and hungry and didn't have enough strength to kick it away. The bubbles were fast, and he leaped on the ladder and finally broke out of the gap.
Only a little bit short.
A sudden weight on the top was suddenly broken by a punch. One hand passed through the uneven and cracked wooden edge, letting the blood spread, and grabbed Zhong You's shoulder and pulled it hard!
Shi Yu tightened his body and gasped fiercely. His fist was covered with blood and his palm was fumbled hard on Zhong You's cheek.
Chapter completed!
