Chapter 395 Collapse

The daytime in early September has been noticeably shorter.Yang Miaozhen was on the battlefield where the two armies were chasing each other, and felt that time passed too slowly.

When Yang Miaozhen was retreating towards Liuzi Town to the south, he was recognized by a cavalry general among the pursuers.So more than a hundred pursuers bit and chased like mad dogs.

Yang Miaozhen once again led people to attack in the opposite direction, intending to push the group of dogs back a little, but they only fought for a moment, then pretended to be unable to resist the enemy and retreated.Yang Miaozhen didn't see the trick at the beginning, so she followed her a few more steps, when she was in a hurry to rein in her horse, Xie Lie personally led the elite cavalry to come shouting to kill, flying arrows like rain.

The sound of fierce fighting attracted the attention of the Jin army scattered around.

The officers of the Golden Army had always had various speculations about the famous Fourth Lady in the Red Coat Army, and now they were even more excited, urging troops to kill her from all directions, intending to cut off her retreat, shouting, "Catch Fourth Lady alive, capture Yang Miaozhen alive. "

Yang Miaozhen charged and killed several times, the horse suddenly stumbled and fell forward, throwing her off.

The world was spinning in front of her eyes, she only felt a sharp pain in her left arm, and the spear was thrown out, and she didn't know where it landed.

Just when he rolled over, a Jin soldier suddenly rushed out from the nearby bushes, and slashed at him with a knife.

Yang Miaozhen drew out the short sword and blocked the big knife, stepped forward and stabbed the golden army to death.But she was really exhausted, and she used all her strength this time. As a result, after the dagger cut the enemy's throat, it continued to swing diagonally, leading her body to stagger forward, and the dagger plunged into the tree.

In an instant, another enemy stabbed him with a gun.Yang Miaozhen didn't care about drawing the sword, and dodged to avoid the stabbing, and then grabbed the gun shaft, trying to grab it and use it.

Unexpectedly, perhaps because the Jin Jun with the gun was strong, she couldn't take it at all, and another Jin Jun rushed out from behind the bushes.

In a hurry, she gave away the right hand that was grabbing the gun, and the golden soldier who grabbed the gun from her couldn't stand, and fell on his back.

She swung her fist halfway sideways, and just hit the face of the rushing Jin Jun, and was about to step forward to grab his long knife, when suddenly another Jin Jun soldier rushed from behind and hugged her by the waist.

At the same time, several soldiers ran towards her, cheering repeatedly: "I caught a bitch! I caught Yang Miaozhen!"

Yang Miaozhen struggled a few times, unable to get away, suddenly gained strength in panic, and could move her left hand.She twisted her waist violently, backhanded, and stabbed the golden soldier's eye socket with the second finger of her left hand.

Her fingers felt a little cold, as if something like tofu had been poked into pieces, and it flowed wet and slippery to the palm of her hand.That Jin Jun screamed loudly, clutching his face and rolling all over the ground.

A few soldiers of the Golden Army who were planning to rush forward to capture them were startled by this scene, stopped and cursed: "You bitch is really vicious!"

They stopped for a while, and the first few Yang Miaozhen's subordinates rushed over.Someone led an ownerless war horse on the battlefield and shouted repeatedly: "Fourth lady, get on the horse! Go!"

Yang Miaozhen jumped on the horse and swung his whip again and again.

The red-coated soldier who led Yang Miaozhen's horse followed closely behind, and after running a few steps, he was shot dead by Liu Ya.

Yang Miaozhen urged the horse to gallop for a while, perhaps because the enemy army gathered from all sides, but instead relaxed the outflanking and pursuit, only the shouts of the pursuers behind him gradually moved away.

The sun finally set, and within two or three miles nearby, the sound of birds flying into the forest began to be heard, and the evening smoke flowed among the mountains, and the twilight was instantly dim.

Yang Miaozhen took advantage of the last sliver of yellow light to see his own soldiers in red military jackets jumping and waving in a gully.

She had no strength at all, she carried the saddle and walked towards the ravine, before she entered the ravine, she became dizzy and lost consciousness.

When I woke up, it was already midnight.The shadows in the mountains were thick and dark, and it was impossible to tell which were vegetation, which were bushes, and which were rocks, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and sweat.

Yang Miaozhen felt a splitting headache, she had no strength all over her body, and could hardly lift her arms and legs.She barely adjusted her stiff sitting posture, and the hard lumps of plaster and blood on her face and body fell down with her movements.

The good news is that there is no broken bone in the left arm, but a bruised muscle.Be careful not to move any more, maybe you can recover tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

She raised her head reluctantly, looked at the high place, and found that there was a soldier on duty carefully, and she relaxed a little.

Just as he was about to get up, he heard a young soldier not far away crying non-stop, and someone kept persuading him: "Okay, okay. I'm still alive at last, isn't it good to be alive?".

The crying one was probably a recruit who had been conscripted not long ago.

Before the Red Coats invaded Henan, they gathered volunteers around Dongping Mansion on the East and West Roads of Shanxi. Many men who were self-confident in their strength, or poor people who had a deep hatred for the Jin Dynasty court, all joined the army at that time.

However, the cruelty of the real fighting field far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.Yang Miaozhen has seen with her own eyes that some people who are supposed to be courageous on weekdays will collapse to the ground with fear when the time comes to fight their necks.

Although the soldiers beside him were crying, after all, they persisted for a long time in this collapse, Yang Miaozhen did not despise them.

She wanted to comfort her, but she heard the soldier push away his companion who was comforting him, and shouted, "I'm not afraid of death! I'm hate! It's hatred!"

The soldier's helmet was crooked, his shoulders and legs were hit by several arrows, and his body was covered in blood.He pushed his companion away and immediately fell to the ground, still hissing:
"The people who have been fighting with us in the past few days are all Han'er! Did you see? Those are all Han'er! The Jurchens are our enemies, but the soldiers on the South Road, those Han'er, came to kill us! They just wanted to kill us! If you have a bite to eat, you will be a dog for the Jurchens! Come and kill us!"

Yang Miaozhen sighed and walked to the other side of the valley.

Yang Miaozhen had thought about the issue of making this soldier furious for a long time, and many soldiers of the Red Coat Army had also thought about it.

In this world, some people always remember the hatred with the Kingdom of Jin, thinking that they will die in time, and everyone will die; there are also some people who don't remember those blood feuds, and just want to live.The former is of course a hero, but the latter is not necessarily wrong.

However, this world is going into chaos day by day, how can you live if you want to?Those men, really think that after repelling the Red Coat Army, they will be able to live a good life?Do you really think those Jurchens nobles in the Great Jin Dynasty Hall have a conscience?

Thinking of this, Yang Miaozhen just felt absurd.

She stepped on the gravel at the bottom of the valley, walking slowly aimlessly.Not long after walking, a flash of fire ahead, she flashed to the side of the cliff covered by vines, and then saw a group of soldiers holding pine torches, hurrying forward along the narrow mountain road, the leader and two generals were actually Guo Yaoer and Liu Quan.

Guo Yao'er was originally Yang An'er's personal general, but was later transferred to Mizhou as the governor.When Yang An'er sent his troops into the Huai River, he was worried about the shortage of food and materials, so he asked Guo Yaoer to escort a batch of materials from Mizhou to Pizhou, and send them to the front line at any time.

And Liu Quan is the uncle of Yang An'er and Yang Miaozhen.After Yang An'er became king, he was the commander of the pro-army. After Yang An'er was attacked at Longshan Temple, it was Liu Quan who led people to respond and covered the seriously injured Yang An'er to retreat all the way. Shuanggou Town at the junction of Pizhou converged, and then led the troops to retreat together.

How did the second general end up here?
Yang Miaozhen quietly followed behind the soldiers.I saw the second general rushing all the way to the west side of the canyon. When he saw anyone, he asked, "Is Si Niangzi here? Have you seen Si Niangzi?"

The alarmed rout soldiers couldn't answer at all, but some people kept complaining about the noise and almost clashed with the soldiers.

The second general asked around, and only knew that Yang Miaozhen had rested here, but he didn't know where he was now.

Liu Quan was getting old, and after running for a while, he fell and sat on a rock, rubbing his chest, unable to stand up for a while.

But Guo Yaoer was still not reconciled, he assigned the soldiers to look in front of the canyon, and he followed the way he came, and asked the soldiers one by one.

Walking step by step into the back side of the canyon, suddenly a person appeared in front of him, which startled Guo Yaoer.

The man asked, "Uncle Bite, why are you here?"

Guo Yaoer recognized Yang Miaozhen's face by the moonlight, laughed a few times, and suddenly shed tears again, grabbed Yang Miaozhen's arm, and walked forward, while walking, he shouted: "Old Liu, I found your niece!"

Yang Miaozhen followed Guo Yaoer, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and hurriedly asked: "You haven't said anything yet, Uncle Yaoer, why are you here?"

"This match, the defeat was too sudden. At this moment, all the armies have collapsed, and so have all the places in Shandong! Yesterday, it was reported that Fang Guosan had occupied Dongping Mansion and was fighting with Zhanhui; Li Quanduo In Yidu, Binzhou and other places, Hebei Xuanfu envoys from the Kingdom of Jin were surrendered; Shi Qing and others gathered in Tengzhou and plundered the Xupei area. Liu Erzu originally gathered troops in Jeju, but now he took his Taishan tribe and went directly to Gone deep in the mountains!"

Guo Yaoer took a few breaths anxiously, and continued: "I have very few troops in Pizhou, and I dare not fight against Shi Qing, so I led the troops westward, trying to meet you, and then serve as the district office... Let's not If you get entangled with Jin Jun again, you have to leave quickly, or you will be in big trouble if you are late!"

When Yang Miaozhen heard this series of bad news suddenly, she felt her mind buzzing.

She murmured: "Brother just lost the battle, why are they so eager to jump back? When Brother turns back, what will they look like..."

Having said that, Guo bit his foot.

Looking ahead again, Liu Quan hurried over.Just now Yang Miao really didn't see clearly, only now did she realize that this veteran's expression is extremely haggard, his beard and hair are all white.

Guo Yaoer said in a shy voice: "It turns out that Fourth Lady...don't know?"

"what?"

"A few days ago, Marshal Yang was seriously injured and died. Our Red Coat Army has dispersed."

Yang Miaozhen felt that the ground was shaking under her feet.Holding on to the cliff, she asked again in a daze, "What?"
