Chapter 103: Abandoning the City, Chasing and Killing

The decline of the Jin Kingdom is indeed a evident fact. The Red Coat Army has been rising one after another, and Shandong cannot be completely controlled, which is a clear proof.

But the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and the strength of the Jin Kingdom is still not something that the rebels can compete with. However, under the attack of Mongolia and Xixia, they had to protect Henan and ensure the defense line of the river, and regard Shandong as a place of restraint.

Of course, it is possible to take the opportunity to achieve great things, but it is what Meng Jiucheng wants to avoid.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Song and Jin dynasties will start next year. This Red Turban Army is a good opportunity for development against Meng Jiucheng.

The support from the Song court will be increased, and the Jin army's energy will be turned to the Southern Song Dynasty. From these two aspects, the Red Turban Army is in a very favorable position.

If the limelight is too strong now, will it affect the overall situation? Meng Jiucheng is not sure. If the Jin Kingdom delays the war with Song and turns to counterattack the Red Turban Army, the situation will become very bad.

Relying on the Southern Song Dynasty, Meng Jiucheng would not think about this.

By then, the Southern Song Dynasty would likely cut off supplies to avoid offending the Jin Kingdom. After all, for them, the Red Turban Army was just a bandit in the north. If it could be used, it would be used. If it could not be used, it would be thrown away.

There is also the Mongolian army, who was plundering in Hebei after occupying Zhongdu. Meng Jiucheng would rather stay in Shandong than encounter a stronger enemy who was more vicious than the Jin army too early.

Also next year, Genghis Khan will lead the main force to fight westward and hand over the Central Plains to Mu Huali, leaving only 20,000 Mongolian troops behind.

It was precisely because the Mongolian army's strategic focus shifted that the Jin Kingdom took a breath and launched a war against the Song Dynasty, hoping to make up for the losses in the battle with the Mongolian army.

The strength of the Mongolian army remaining in the Central Plains decreased, which also brought favorable conditions to the Red Turban Army.

It can be said that Meng Jiucheng thought a lot and was far away, but he could not tell them completely to others. He also had to make up some reasons so that the generals could convince them.

Of course, the current base area still needs to be restored and consolidated, and the money and food are not sufficient. Meng Jiucheng does not need to fabricate it. He can only put forward practical difficulties to implement his own strategy of slow development.

After explaining to Wang Xian, Meng Jiucheng asked him to step up surveillance of the enemy and not let the enemy escape easily.

Due to the rain, the siege of the city was delayed. Meng Jiucheng didn't know whether the Li family in Pucha would escape, but he did not make some countermeasures.

In the middle of the night, Meng Jiucheng was woken up by his personal guards and reported the latest situation: Pucha Li's family abandoned the city and fled.

…………….

The rain seemed to be a little lighter, but on the Mercedes-Benz, the rhythm of the raindrops hitting the face faster.

Pucha Li's ears were still buzzing, his face was gloomy and terrifying. The Jin soldiers who were fleeing on foot were thrown away from each other, but he was too lazy to look back and forth.

If you lose, you should lose for the sake of your life. There is no suspense about losing, but you just persist for a while. If you give yourself another chance, there is still no way to solve it, this is the real sad thing.

Pucha Li's family was running in front of the team, with only the inconspicuous sound of horse hooves in front of him and behind him. At this time, regret immediately surged into his heart, making him bit his lips.

But this regret is quite complicated, obviously not one or two.

He regretted that he believed in some magical words and went out of the city to fight; he regretted that after the camp was captured, he would have to supervise the army to fight again, causing greater losses...

A salty smell surged into his throat, and the Pucha Li family had already bit his lips.

It is God's will and the times are fortunate. Failure is probably inevitable!

Suddenly, the Pucha Li family felt that their bodies were tilted. He was thinking about it without any precautions and fell down as the horse stumbled.

His head was hit hard on the ground, splashing mud and water on his face. Even with the protection of his helmet, the Pucha Li family was dizzy and had not yet realized what was going on.

The few personal guards behind him were very close to each other and had no time to stop the horse, and they all fell off their feet and rolled to the ground.

"Sir." The guards behind hurriedly pulled their heads and shouted and dismounted one after another.

A row of crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from the jungle beside the road, cutting through the rain curtain, bringing the coldness of death and screaming again.

"The enemy attacked, there was an ambush." ​​The Jin soldiers exclaimed, jumped off their horses, looked around nervously, waved their swords and guns, and took protection.

A row of crossbow arrows only shot a few Jin soldiers and four horses, but it was a heavy psychological blow to the fleeing Jin soldiers who were already frightened.

When encountering the strong, avoid them, and when encountering the weak, attack them. This is the order given by Meng Jiucheng to the troops responsible for detours and blockades.

In layman's terms, it's just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. In fact, this tactic doesn't need to be taught or practiced. Based on instinct, no one will use his head to hit the wall, nor will he challenge the army and seek death by himself.

Of course, in the rain, there were not many troops who were rushing to block the attack, and there was no way to intercept the attack with all their strength. They had to dig some traps, pull up the straggling rope, put on crossbow arrows, and wait for an opportunity to attack and kill the enemy.

Small accidents can sometimes affect major consequences. Although sneak attacks do not kill many enemies, they slowed down the pace of escape from the Pu family and the Li family, winning time for the Red Turban Army that was pursuing.

After a turmoil, the Jin army boarded the horse and fled again, lost several horses and suffered several casualties. The morale became even more depressed. They kept looking at both sides suspiciously, guarding against the sudden shooting of the killing weapon.

Not only that, the Jin soldiers in front also had to open their eyes wide and pay attention to the tripping rope, and their speed couldn't help but slow down.

The raindrops hit the face, the body, and even entered the eyes. Wang Xian closed one eye, wiped it with his hands, and then closed the other one and wiped it.

Although there are still many Jin soldiers who fled out of the city, who dares to turn around and fight again when they run away? Therefore, Jin soldiers who fled along the road have lost the inevitable awareness of being soldiers. Many people even throw away their weapons, and their armor has long become a burden and have been ruthlessly abandoned.

The Jin soldiers had no courage to turn back and fight. They ran around in panic, kowtowed to work, or burped into the jungle begging for work, or ran slowly, or were killed by the pursuers with swords and guns, becoming a dead body that fell in the mud and water.

The three hundred cavalry led by Wang Xian were not in a hurry to kill the fleeing Jin soldiers. These deserters isolated by the cavalry were killed and were captured, and they did not have to waste their precious time at all.

After catching two Jin soldiers hurriedly and asking about where the Pu Li family was going, the cavalry rushed and chased them relentlessly.

The long-lost sense of pleasure! Wang Xian sighed in his heart. Once upon a time, he also led the remaining troops into the mountains and into the forest, avoiding the Jin army and escaping.

Unexpectedly, the feng shui changed and the roles changed so quickly, which was something he could never have dreamed of.

Now, the Li family in Pucha has brought more than 200 cavalrymen with their personal guards but has not abandoned their armor and fled lightly.

First, the Pucha Li family felt that the enemy had to marching and rushing to the city and siege, and they had to exhaust their energy and could not pursue them relentlessly; secondly, it was his face issue. Before he could finish his journey, he was as embarrassed as a dog that had lost his family. It was not what he wanted.

The commander did not issue an order, and of course, the guards and cavalry who followed him did not dare to take action, so as not to get into the bad mood of the Pucha Li family, who was already in a bad mood after defeat.

Even so, escaping is not a smooth journey. Although each attack cannot kill too many Jin soldiers, it continues to slow down their speed and bring them closer to the pursuers.

Several dead horses lying on the ground, and the abandoned Jin soldiers were killed by crossbow arrows. They were lying miserably in the mud and water, with their dead fish-like eyes staring at the night sky.

"The enemy is already exhausted and has been harassed and attacked. This is a good opportunity for us to kill the enemy and make achievements." Wang Xian stopped and observed the horse. After getting on the horse, he shouted loudly: "My boys, continue chasing the enemy and killing the enemy without leaving any armor." "No armor without leaving any armor." The cavalry of the Red Turban Army responded to the cry, started again, and embarked on the road of pursuit.

…………………

Tension, tension, and suddenly two tripping ropes popped out in the mud and water, falling down several Jin soldiers, causing the Jin soldiers to stop again.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... A gun was thrown into the woods on one side of the road, and the crossbow arrow suddenly flew out, causing a scream and neighing.

This is a team of 180 people gathered together, relying on the woods, causing trouble for the Jin army.

"Kill, search and kill the enemy!" Pucha Li's family jumped off their war horses, roared and swung their swords and pointed.

He had been patient for too long, and these attackers scattered in the grass and woods were raiding again and again, like annoying mosquitoes, buzzing around you, and rushing up to you from time to time to bite you.

This was simply adding fuel to the already depressed and regretful mood of Pucha Li’s family, why didn’t he get angry?

Bows and arrows, throwing guns... The Jin soldiers first attacked the jungle and grass trees, then used swords and guns to pull out the branches and weeds, searching deeper.

Under the protection of personal guards, the Pucha Li family waited on the road for a while and took a rest of their horsepower.

Most of them also wore iron armor during combat, which undoubtedly increased the burden on horses. Some horses sprayed white foam, which obviously consumed a lot of physical strength.

"Sir." The captain of the guard suddenly became nervous, opened his ears and listened carefully, and said in surprise: "Listen, is this the sound of horse hooves, or--"

Pucha Li family frowned and carefully distinguished the sound of rain hitting leaves and grass, and their faces gradually became astonished.

That's right, it's the sound of horse hooves, the direction is right behind me, and there are the pursuit soldiers.

"Get out the troops and retreat." Pucha Li's family shouted in a hurry, snatched the reins and kicked the horse.

"Get out, retreat, the enemy is catching up." An anxious shout sounded one after another in the team. Before the Jin soldiers in the grass and woods retreated, the team had already begun to gallop forward.

When the Jin soldiers who were searching for enemies in the jungle hurriedly withdrew, the brigade had already left for a distance and only saw the backs of the cavalry behind.

These guys shouted and cursed, and rushed to chase them.

There were a few Jin soldiers who could not find their horses. I don’t know if the horses ran away with the brigade or were led away by some unethical and selfish guys. There were few horses and many people, and they fought for each other, and there was another chaos.

The sudden sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, completely covering up the noise in the rain. It was heard very clearly, and I don’t know how many pursuers were coming.

The Jin soldiers fled in panic, leaving only a few unlucky guys who were knocked down on the road. Hearing the sound of thunderous hooves, these unlucky guys got up with pain and howled into the jungle.

In a moment, the long cavalry team chased after him like a long dragon, disdaining the dead horses and corpses on the road, and rumbled by.

Wang Xian's face was tightly tense, and the wind blew across the sides of his helmet. The horseshoe prints on the road already meant that the enemy was not far away. If you work harder, you can catch up with them. Kill them.

It feels so good to drive and chase! Sun Wu was one riding position behind Wang Xian. He held the hilt of the saber hard. It felt a little slippery when it was raining. He rubbed his hand hard on his waist and thighs a few times. Well, this time he felt much better.

The raindrops are like fog, but they just keep going. But the dark clouds have faded, and the moonlight has faintly shone, becoming hazy, and the water on the road reflects some light, and then it is shattered by the chaotic horse hooves, splashing countless broken jade and tangled jade

It was faintly possible that the figure in front of him could be seen. Wang Xian smiled coldly, grabbed the spear, and tilted forward with great force.

Sun Wuzheng raised his saber, his upper arm was perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and pointed his elbow at the helmet against the helmet. He carried his upper arm behind him with force, ready to send a full-strength blow.

The cavalry behind the two also raised their weapons, swords or guns, and the excitement of the battle instantly filled their bodies.

The first ones to be caught up were the Jin soldiers who entered the jungle to search for enemies. Not only did these people start late, but they were all tired horses left behind. So, they became the first targets of the pursuers.

Seeing that the pursuers had arrived behind them, the Jin soldiers shouted in fear and panic, desperately urging them to beat the horses, but none of them dared to turn around to fight.

As he got closer, Wang Xian squeezed the horse's belly with force, and the war horse rushed forward, reaching the attack distance.

He held the gun in both hands, and controlled the horse with his legs. He stabbed it out with one shot. The sticky feeling came along the gun. As soon as he pulled it hard, he screamed. The Jin soldiers bleed in the left rib and fell down from their horses.

The Red Turban Cavalry took Wang Xian as the arrow, like a frenzy that kept rolling waves, ruthlessly submerging the Jin army that was falling behind.

Sun Wu was exploring his body forward, and the long-established slashed down. With the power of the forward rushing, he carried the slash with his slanted shoulder straps, almost cutting the Jin soldiers in half.

"Hey!" Wang Xian had already risen away from the saddle, stepped on the stirrups with his feet, and used his legs to control the horse, stabbed it out with a shot, hitting the enemy's back.

"Slash!" He Sanbao waved his sword, and a slashed with great force, blood rain splattered, and a head flew into the air.

The swords and guns kept waving, more blood splattered, and more screams sounded. This made the Red Turban cavalry more and more excited, and kept making excited shouts.

The Jin soldiers who were not killed after being dismissed only lived for a few more seconds. Rows of cavalry galloped past, either killed or trampled into meat paste by horses.

The vision ahead was widened, and the group of Jin soldiers who were behind had been killed. The sense of blockage disappeared, and the speed of the Red Turban cavalry accelerated again, chasing the figures in front of them.
