1027 Escape
These official troops are not polite. Since they can't catch up with the leaders in front of them, it's good to use the heads of these ordinary rebels to report their merits! So they cut and kill the soldiers of the rebels even more vigorously!
In fact, escaping has become Li Zicheng's old habit. If the war is unfavorable, he will abandon most of the soldiers and only take away the most elite old camp horse team and some elite infantry, leaving all the rest on the battlefield to hinder the footsteps of the official army.
Moreover, even the infantry who escaped with him also understood that when necessary, Li Zicheng would throw away all the infantry and only flee with the old camp's cavalry. Anyway, in his opinion, these soldiers should be as much as possible. If not, he could create a batch anytime and anywhere! Just grab all the food of the people.
The horse team approached the camp, but Li Zicheng and others who led the team did not have the intention to stay at all, but directly crossed the camp and continued to move northward.
Niu Mangu looked at the camp with regret, until he ran past the camp and could not look back. Because there were two of his women in the camp, I wonder who would be cheaper? One of them was the lady of the official family rewarded by the King of Chuang. The other was the youngest daughter of a wealthy businessman who Niu Mangu snatched through the previous county. As for the woman of his father who died of illness a while ago.
Li Zicheng is already very experienced in escaping. They did not rush to run fast, but kept moving forward at medium speed. This would not over-consuming the power of the war horse and could run further.
Moreover, there are tens of thousands of people on the battlefield that need to be cleaned up by officers and soldiers. After cleaning up, those people still have a camp to occupy. So when the officers and soldiers catch up, the old camp horse team had already run away.
The horse team ran a long distance and stopped slowly after confirming that there were no official troops behind to chase him.
As soon as the horse team stopped to rest, Niu Mangu jumped off the horse and helped Niu Bajin dismount. At this time, Niu Bajin had no strength and was almost dragged off by Niu Mangu!
Niu Bajin lay on the ground with the help of Niu Mangu. Niu Mangu put Niu Bajin's hand on his hands to look at the wound. Seeing the wound, Niu Mangu took a breath! But Niu Bajin said slowly: "It's okay, I can't die!
”
After saying that, with the help of Niu Mangu, he untied his belt and clothes, revealing the wound. The wound and navel were on the same level as the navel, four inches long and nearly half an inch deep! He almost opened his stomach!
Niu Bajin kept lying on the horse's back while he was on the horse's back just to prevent the wound from expanding. Now as soon as he lay down, the wound spreads, and he could see the thin abdominal membrane and the moving intestines below!
Niu Mangu immediately took out the muslin and wound medicine in the saddle bag. Niu Mangu rinsed the wound with wine, sprinkled the wound medicine, and then wrapped the wound tightly with the muslin.
After the wound was treated, Niu Mangu picked up a cowhide strap that was wide from the ground. He saw that a knife had cut a hole on it. But the hole was as strange as the wound, and it all came to an abrupt end. It was not as complete as an ordinary wound.
Niu Bajin took the belt and bent his waist to touch the back of the belt. At this time, Niu Mangu discovered that his father's cowhide strap was double-layered! Niu Bajin actually took out a gold nugget with deep knife marks inside!
Only then did Niu Mangu understand why the belt and the wound on his father's belly were so strange. Because the knife castration was blocked by this gold nugget! Otherwise Niu Bajin would have died at this time!
Niu Bajin weighed the gold nuggets with his hand, looked at the almost cut gold nuggets and said, "It's so dangerous! If it weren't for its life, it would have been given!"
After saying that, Niu Bajin handed the cowhide strap to Niu Mangu and said, "You can tie it up. It's all the possessions I have saved. There are 9 yuan in gold nuggets like this!"
Niu Mangu shook his head and said, "Don't give it to me, you'd better tie your belt yourself."
Niu Bajin pulled Niu Mangu hard, leaned his mouth against his ear and said, "What do you know? Find an opportunity to run away with the money and find a place to hide! I think the rebels will be unreliable this time!"
Niu Mangu said anxiously: "Dad, don't talk about this for now, your injury is important!"
Niu Bajin shook his head and said, "I know my injuries. You have to collect more food in the past two days. If you have the opportunity to get more gold and silver, it is the main thing."
After saying that, Niu Bajin, with Niu Mangu's support, found a dry place and rested on the stone.
.He can only stay in his body so that the wounds can stick together.
The horse team rested for half an hour and saw the soldiers of the rebel army moving closer to this side from afar. Li Zicheng quickly ordered people to come over and gather the soldiers.
At this time, the soldiers were already running out of breath and their armor was loose. They barely walked closer to the horse team and they were all slumped there, leaving only breathing.
Niu Mangu glanced at the soldiers who were almost running away and began to sort out his and his father's war horses. He also used a scabbard to sweep away the snow on the ground, revealing the dead grass below for the war horses to eat a few bites.
The camp has been lost, and there is definitely not enough food and forage. Now Niu Mangu can only find ways to get some food for the war horses. Otherwise, once the war horses lose their strength, their heads may be taken to the government army to repay their merits!
Moreover, the two small bags of beans on the horse's back cannot be moved. They can only be given food to the horse at critical moments. Niu Mangu also has experience in dealing with this situation. As long as you break through a county town, you will have everything!
But when they came from the north, they had all the counties that could be broken along the way. The rest were not something that they could open. But it didn't matter. On the way to the north, it would be enough to open a few forts at will.
The most common docks in Henan are Henan. These docks are often formed based on villages and blood ties. In order to escape the war and attacks of bandits, villagers often build soil into cities and protect their villages.
In fact, it is not difficult for both the official army and the bandits to break the fort. But there are not too many things you get from it, and it is not worth it compared to the injured population. Therefore, whether it is the rebel army, the bandits, or the official army, they generally do not have the idea of fighting forts. At most, they are extorting some food, gold, and silver.
But this time the rebel army had already abandoned all the supplies, so even if there were many lives, they would have to open several forts. Otherwise, there would be no food in this winter, and even if Li Zicheng had the ability, he would not be able to maintain this army!
