Chapter 331: Before the tree falls, the hozen scatter first (Part 2)
Xiang Chong ran so suddenly and fast that the Dongjiang soldiers guarding the outside did not react. By the time they reacted and wanted to stop him, Xiang Chong's group had already rushed two miles away and only stopped more than a hundred people. An old and weak person who cannot run fast.
Upon seeing this, Qi Huai, the deputy commander-in-chief under Mao Chenglu, became anxious. He pulled his horse and waved his hand to lead his men to catch up. However, before he could turn his horse's head, the camp behind him exploded.
"Failed, defeated, defeated! Let's all run for our lives!"
"The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming, brothers are running for their lives.
"The Jinzhou army is coming and the commander-in-chief has been killed!"[
""
In an instant, the camp was filled with horrified shouts, followed by soldiers running out like a tide. The scene was like dominoes collapsing, so fast that people were stunned, and Xiang Chong was the first to fall. The originator of dominoes.
The camp was blown up!
Qi Huai stood there in shock, watching eagerly as tens of thousands of people rushed out of the camp together. He could clearly see that those running in front were officers who were running wildly. The officers were shouting at the top of their lungs while constantly gathering them. The subordinates were afraid that the overly panicked subordinates would actually blow up the camp and collapse and run away without a trace.
Damn, they want to join the Jinzhou Army!
Qi Huai realized that this was not a sudden bombing of the camp at all, but someone secretly manipulating it. Otherwise, why didn't those shocked soldiers run to the west, north, or south, and just ran to the east?
He subconsciously drew his knife in his hand and shouted at a general who was about to rush here: "Lin Tai, you ungrateful man, do you want to rebel?"
The man who was called Lin Tai was a guard from Dongjiang. Behind him were several thousand generals. The generals were all riding on horses. Surrounding them were their own soldiers, and behind them were a huge crowd of soldiers. .
Seeing someone blocking the road, Lin Tai was not afraid. He just patted the horse desperately and shouted without looking back: "The situation is over. Brothers, find a way to survive. If you care about Dongjiang's love, give your brothers a way to survive!"
"Fuck you, you all ran away, what will the commander do?"
Qi Huai was so furious that he rushed forward on his horse. Seeing this, the dozen or so soldiers around him instinctively rushed forward too. However, they stopped again after a dozen steps and were at a loss what to do. standing there.
Qi Huai couldn't hear the footsteps, and subconsciously looked back, only to see that half of his Dongjiang soldiers had already run away, and the rest were looking around, all looking panicked and frightened. It was obvious that they had been greatly attacked. The collapse of the camp was frightening.
Qi Huaidun didn't know that his soldiers were like this. In the blink of an eye, Lin Tai's men were rushing over. Without thinking, he yanked the horse's head, clamped his legs hard, and hit the horse to avoid it. Fortunately, it was Move quickly, otherwise you will be hit by Lin Tai's gang. Looking at the fierce eyes of the Qian bosses behind Lin Tai, they are afraid that they will chop him with a knife even if they can't hit him.
"Thank you!"
Lin Tai rode his horse and rushed past, without forgetting to immediately clasp his hands and fist, and then without looking at him again, he led a group of subordinates and ran towards the east.
None of Lin Huai's subordinates who had not escaped yet came out to stop them. Taking advantage of this chaos, the hundreds of old and weak people they stopped had the wind at their feet and headed east to find their own Mr. Qian.
Tens of thousands of frightened soldiers, led by thoughtful generals, ran towards the east together. The scene was really frightening. Occasionally, some foolish Liao soldiers tried to stop them, but were instantly swallowed up by the surging crowds. Some Liao soldiers did not have the guts to stop them at all. , but because the person is lying in the middle, he can't run away. Those who think faster turn around and run eastward, but those who don't think quickly will be overturned by the oncoming war horses. Before anyone can get up, they can't count their feet. Just stepped on it
"Come back, come back!"
"Come fucking back!"[
In the camp, more than a dozen of Li Chengjiu, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming's direct generals were shouting so hard that they almost cried. Looking at the soldiers who didn't even look back, more than a dozen of them wanted to cry. There was nothing they could do. They could only stay there.
Stomping his feet, not knowing what to do.
It wasn't until the people ran out of Lixu Road that Lin Huai was shocked. He looked around and saw that there were still several figures of his own soldiers. He hurriedly greeted them and led them to the camp. When he saw the stomping officers,
Lin Huai gave a wry smile, sighed and sat on the ground, as if he had no strength at all.
The huge camp was in a mess, with broken fences and tents everywhere, all kinds of weapons thrown on the floor, pots and pans broken into pieces, and hundreds of wounded soldiers who had been trampled in the panic.
The wailing and moaning couldn't stop. A few unlucky ghosts were probably going to the latrine, but they didn't expect that the camp suddenly exploded. They got up in a panic and scrambled to get out. As a result, they all fell into the latrine and stunk all over.
The only thing that didn't break out was the northernmost camp where the robbed women were imprisoned. More than two thousand lonely women didn't know what was going on. They huddled in their tents and waited uneasily for what was about to happen.
After hearing the news, Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde were completely dumbfounded. They originally thought that only a few camps were disrupted, but they didn't know that all the soldiers in the camp had fled. Along the way, they didn't know how many helmets they picked off and how many flags they tripped over.
Everyone who saw it was dumbfounded.
Along the way, there were noises all the way, and all the rebel generals were also frightened. Tens of thousands of people were completely dispersed in such a short time, and they could not help but be frightened if they saw many big scenes again.
The stretching military camp lasted for nearly ten miles, and less than halfway through, Li Jiucheng no longer wanted to walk any further. He knew that if he walked further, he would still see nothing but the same thing. He turned over and dismounted with a loud sound, and walked silently to a stone.
He sat on it, was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly started crying. When he cried, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were stunned. They looked at him blankly, and no one could speak.
Li Jiucheng cried until his tears turned red. He looked as if he had aged more than ten years and was haggard. He looked like a gambler who lost his last pocket of rice at the gambling table.
Gradually, Li Jiucheng's crying subsided, and Li Yingyuan stood by to comfort him sadly.
Here, Geng Zhongming told Kong Youde in a low voice: "Sent people to look at it, there are less than a thousand people left."
"I still have more than two thousand people here." Mao Chenglu's situation is better.
Several other generals also gathered the remaining troops, but the total number was less than a thousand.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Kong Youde nodded, said nothing, and looked eastward with a complicated expression.
Geng Zhongming reminded him: "Deputy Commander, we can't stay here any longer. We have to leave quickly, otherwise the Jinzhou Army will come and kill us, and we won't be able to escape."
At this moment, Mao Chenglu also put aside his conflict with Geng Zhongming and said: "What should we do, brothers? The deputy commander has to make an idea." After saying that, he glanced at Li Jiucheng, who was still sobbing, and shook his head slightly.
Kong Youde frowned slightly and said immediately: "Let's go back to Laizhou."
"Go back to Laizhou?" Mao Chenglu and Geng Zhongming were shocked, why did they want to go back to Laizhou?
Geng Zhongming said: "Gao Qiqian is ready to make a move. If we return to Laizhou like this, he has no reason not to take action."
"When there were many of us, Eunuch Gao didn't dare to touch us, but now like this, even Yang Yufan in Laizhou City dares to touch us, let alone Gao Qiqian who has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command." Mao Chenglu didn't want to go back to Laizhou and wait in that death place.
Even if he died, he still wanted to go to sea and invest money. He couldn't go to sea from Dengzhou. He could also find a way to go to sea from other places. At the worst, he would have to give up some soldiers.
However, Kong Youde seemed to have made up his mind. He walked to Li Jiucheng and said to him categorically: "The matter has come to an end. We have no other way to go. Now we have only one way to surrender! Please, Commander-in-Chief, and Youde, restrain yourself and rise high."
