Chapter 366

Get out of here after silence

Lin'an, Zhejiang, the former capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was under the ravages of the peasant army. When Deqing was captured, the situation became increasingly clear. As soon as it was about to withdraw from Zhejiang, some peasant army leaders began to plunder and looting, as long as they started, it would be difficult to stop. Faced with this situation, the only thing Gao Yingxiang could do was to advance the retreat plan. The matter of Jiaxing Prefecture reminded Gao Yingxiang that endless plundering would eventually make the local people resist.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, if he wanted to change the stable situation, the Xuanfu army stationed in Deqing City divided half of the troops and went west along the official road, with the target aiming directly at Dusong Pass. At the same time, a small group of soldiers and horses in Beijing suddenly appeared near Tianmu Mountain and sneaked into the post near Tianmu Mountain. Gao Yingxiang responded quickly. He was afraid that Tianmu Mountain would be occupied by the Beijing Camp, so he ordered the army in the Qian direction to pay close attention to Tianmu Mountain and asked the leaders of each division to prepare for retreat within two days.

Yuhang, all the leaders under Li Zicheng gathered together, but at this time everyone looked solemn and the atmosphere was depressing. Li Yan rarely spoke, and seemed to have not yet recovered from the previous defeat. Li Zicheng sat on a chair, leaned forward slightly, bent his arms, elbows on his thighs, and held his chin. "Everyone, the Living Hell King sent troops to come, and the target was directed to Dusong Pass. What should we do next?"

Zheng Guosong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. According to his thoughts, it would be better if Dusong Pass wanted it, but he didn't dare to say it. In contrast, Lu Weiliang had less taboos. After thinking for a moment, he said in a faint voice: "General, my subordinates think that Dusong Pass is a waste of money for us at the moment. The King of Chuang is now ready to evacuate. It is estimated that the retreat order will be delivered to us in the next two days. At this time, it is meaningless to force the Dusong Pass to cause more casualties."

Li Zicheng looked up slightly, narrowed his eyes and sighed: "But if the Living Hell takes over Dusong Pass, then we will be uneasy behind us. With the sharp edge of the cavalry under the Living Hell, we can quickly penetrate Tianmu Mountain in the west, breaking our retreat."

Everyone's faces were a little ugly. Dusong Pass was already a useless rib for the peasant army. When retreating was about to happen, they naturally had no intention of attacking Hangzhou City. Since they did not attack Hangzhou, why should Dusong Pass be? But Dusong Pass is very important to the officers and soldiers, especially to the Living Hell. If the Living Hell takes the natural barrier of Dusong Pass, they can send cavalry to attack Tianmu Mountain directly. In this case, if the tens of thousands of Beijing soldiers under Xu Hongji cooperate, Tianmu Mountain will really not be able to defend. If Tianmu Mountain falls, officers and soldiers can attack Lin'an and Yu Qian at any time. By then, more than 100,000 peasant troops entering Zhejiang will be cut off.

In fact, it seems that Dusong Pass is a useless person, and at least it has to wait until the troops from Lin'an begin to retreat. However, if you force yourself to defend Dusong Pass and fight with the elite soldiers of the Living Hell, how many casualties will be increased? It is mainly for others and cause more casualties for yourself. No one is willing to do this. Everyone knows how difficult it is to deal with the Living Hell. If it is unnecessary, they really don't want to fight with this person.

Naturally, everyone's thoughts could not be hidden from Li Zicheng. Seeing that everyone was speechless, he had to continue saying: "Retract the troops from Qiantang, divide the troops into Dusong Pass. We must stay at least two days in Dusong Pass. If we abandon Dusong Pass, don't say that Li is unwilling to accept it. We will not be able to make a deal with the king. At that time, what will the brothers think of us?"

Hearing this, Zheng Guosong, Xu Beichuan and others all lowered their heads. Although what Li Zicheng said made sense, he couldn't help but feel a little palpitation when he thought of having a fierce battle with the Living Hell. Especially Xu Beichuan, from Tongling to Deqing, he was chased by the Living Hell and beaten up with a fierce buttock, and he was beaten to death.

No one asked for a fight, and the scene was a bit deserted. Li Zicheng could only smile bitterly in his heart. Li Yan was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. After fighting with the Living Hell, he was silent. The Living Hell is really a disaster. Since the uprising, he has almost never been in trouble. But every time he meets the Living Hell, he will inevitably be in trouble. I don’t know that it was God who deliberately arranged it, and he will have to face the Living Hell every time.

After all, Lu Weiliang and Li Zicheng had a good relationship. Seeing that the scene was deserted, he took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment. "General, you should go to Dusong Pass. However, the subordinates of Dusong Pass can only stay for two days at most. After two days, they will say that they will withdraw whatever they want. Now our troops have been defeated in a row and have suffered heavy losses. They cannot fall into the quagmire of Dusong Pass."

When Li Zicheng stood up and looked at Lu Weiliang, he looked a little grateful in his eyes, "Brother Lu, don't worry, you should make the decision on Dusongguan. In short, don't lose too much, everything can be done cheaply."

When encountering difficulties, Li Zicheng, like Lu Weiliang, first thought of survival problems. This is also a helpless move. The internal situation of the peasant army is complicated. If the strength is not preserved, it may be swallowed by others in the blink of an eye. This is a very realistic world. Although Gao Yingxiang is his uncle, how many people can not be confused in the face of power?

On the 11th day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the calm Dusong Pass was in trouble again. Liu Guoneng and Li Yuanqing led 10,000 troops from the town outside Dusong Pass and slowly advanced to the hills to the west. Liu Guoneng's advancement speed was very slow, but it was very stable. Because the formation was maintained very tightly, there was no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of it. At noon at the 12th day of the first lunar month, Liu Guoneng's troops arrived at the first important point in the eastern part of Dusong Pass. The Shizhai was built at the highest point on the hills and steep slopes. It can be said that it was the eastern gate of Dusong Pass and has always been the defensive place of Dusong Pass. At this time, the people stationed in Shizhai were on the spot, and there were more than 5,000 defenders.

Speaking of which, Lei Ren and Tie Mo were also considered an old acquaintance. When Tie Mo was able to rise rapidly, he climbed up on Lei Ren's shoulders. Thinking about the time when he was in Yehu Ridge, Lei Ren wanted to be windy, rainy, and life was free and happy, but he didn't expect to fall into Tie Mo's hands. When fighting outside the Yehu Ridge, Lei Ren had seen Tie Mo's bravery with his own eyes. This guy was a mad dog.

After joining Wang Jiayin's command, Lei Ren would be more careful every time he met Tie Mo, so after several confrontations, his troops under him had the least casualties. Lei Ren had never wanted to fight the Living King of Hell, but this time he could not escape. If he abandoned the Shizhai, Lu Weiliang behind him would probably cut off Lei's head immediately.

"Mom, what's Lu Weiliang's intention? So many people insisted that I guard the Shizhai area. To this end, I have to guard Dusong Pass!" Lei Ren hid in the room and cursed alone, thinking that Lu Weiliang did it on purpose. At the beginning, Wang Jiayin's old subordinate was not very popular under the command of the King of Chuang. If he hadn't done too many things that he had resented in the past, and if the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were the ones of the Living King of Hell, Lei Ren would have wanted to surrender.

Just as he was feeling sulky, a gunshot sounded outside the stone village, and Lei Ren couldn't help but tremble. He ran outside with a knife and turned his head to see that the hairs behind him stood up. He saw that there were many officers and soldiers on the high walls of the village, and the two sides were fighting in full swing. How could this happen? Why did the officers and soldiers hit the walls of the village so quickly? Did they fly up?

Shizhai, in fact, can only guard the village wall. If the village wall is lost, Shizhai will almost be lost. Lei Ren can't think of any reason even if he wants to break his head. Deputy General Qi Meilai panicked and took a group of soldiers and rushed by. Lei Ren grabbed the other party and shouted: "What are you doing?"

Qi Meilai hurriedly said, "Support the village wall, Leader Lei, you have to hurry up and get the officers and soldiers. If you delay it, the stone village will be gone..."

"Look at how many officers and soldiers are there at the village gate? You can still take it back. Hurry up... Order the people in the village to retreat to the west mountain road. If you don't leave, we will all have to stay here... The stone village can no longer be defended..."

Lei Ren has no great ability, but he has amazing observation skills and can make accurate judgments on the battlefield situation in a timely manner. Because of this, he can be very good at scrambling within the peasant army with bad situations. It is not a waste of time to get out of this nickname. When it comes to escaping and living a life, Lei Ren feels that he has never been inferior to others.

Since there were no more reinforcements to guard the village wall, the Shizhai was quickly taken down by Liu Guoneng and Li Yuanqing. When they walked into the Shizhai, they looked at the relatively intact big village. Liu Guoneng was a little confused, "Is it taking down the Shizhai?"

Li Yuanqing also didn't come back to his senses, and the attack was smoother than he imagined. Although the soldiers from the mountain camp secretly attacked the wall of the village, it would have taken a lot of effort to take down the stone village if the bandits hadn't had a problem. "What's going on? I really got the supervisor to tell the truth... How did the supervisor know that as long as we attacked the wall of the village, the bandits would retreat without fighting..."

Liu Guoneng smiled wryly. He had been with Tie Mo for a long time and knew the situation inside the peasant army. After thinking about it for a while, he understood a little, "Hey, it's probably because of Lei Ren. Brother Li doesn't know that this person's nickname is gone on the spot and is famous for his life. This guy was scattered in Yehuling. I heard that he dominated Jinbei with others in Yehuling. Later, he was killed by the supervisor and was thrown away his armor. After that, this guy seemed to have a psychological shadow and ran away when he saw the supervisor..."

"There is this? Since that's the case, how could Lu Weiliang let Lei Ren come to guard the stone village?" Li Yuanqing shook his head with a little amused and crying, and got out of the spot. It's really worthy of his reputation. His speed of escaping is the best in the world.

"Who knows what Lu Wei came to think? Forget it, let's prepare and we will continue to fight Dusong Pass tomorrow!"

Liu Guoneng and Li Yuanqing sharpened their swords and prepared to fight Dusong Pass, but at this time, the Dusong Pass had already had a big uproar. When the Shizhai heard that the Shizhai fell into the hands of the soldiers, the leaders were shocked and their eyes almost exploded. Some even cursed, "I'm asking... What is Lei Ren doing, this turtleman... I'll give it to the soldiers after guarding the Shizhai for less than half a day. Why didn't he die? If he rushed back, I'll..."

A strong man knocked on the ground with a knife, making a clanging sound. Before the words could be finished, a small minion ran into the hall, "Report... Leader Lei led his troops back to the village, and now he has gone to his camp to rest..."

Lu Weiliang's lips twitched, and he was too lazy to curse. The ball came back so quickly. He was cursing here, so he came back. Without saying a word, Lu Weiliang took the leaders to Lei Ren's camp. When he saw that when he saw him, he couldn't speak. He saw that the soldiers in front of him were talking and laughing, and they were neatly dressed and red, and they didn't look like someone who had just lost a battle.

It was amazing. He had just abandoned Shizhai and suffered a defeat, but why did he still look relaxed? Lu Weiliang didn't say a word and went to find deputy general Qi Meilai. After carefully asking about the loss, everyone was speechless.

Shizhai fell, defeated and fled, but only lost less than 400 people. It is unimaginable how this battle was fought. Did Lei Ren run back with his men as soon as the officers and soldiers stepped onto the wall of the village?

Finally, Lu Weiliang couldn't help it anymore. After someone called Lei Ren, he asked angrily: "Captain Lei, should you explain it to someone Lu?"

Lei Ren sneered in his heart, and there was no fear on his face. He still had nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and was afraid of a ball. Although Lei Ren was timid in war and loved to escape, he lived a very clear life. He always tried to strengthen his strength and never forced himself to do things that he could not do. It is precisely because of this that his strength can grow little by little. In short, as long as his fists are strong enough and his hands are too many soldiers, even if Li Zicheng wants to move himself, he has to consider it.

"Captain Lu, the officers and soldiers sneaked into Shizhai and suddenly appeared on the wall of the village. Many officers and soldiers gathered in the village gate. The situation is very unfavorable to me. Brother, I ordered the withdrawal of Shizhai. What's wrong with me?" Lei Ren narrowed his eyes and did not hide it. He just said he wanted to preserve his strength.

Lu Weiliang's head twitched. For some reason, he felt that Lei Ren's eyes were sarcastic. He was despised, but he couldn't speak. In fact, Lu Weiliang sent Lei Ren to Shizhai, and there was also the intention of weakening Lei Ren. Lei Ren was initially surrendered to Wu Yangui's hands, but Wu Yangui was defeated and killed, and then he joined Wang Jiayin. Lei Ren wandered around, but he was so prosperous. No one of his confidants, but he only thought about his acre of three-point land. Such a person is very troublesome, so Lu Weiliang wanted to weaken Lei Ren, and when the time was right, he swallowed Lei Ren's troops.

Although his idea was good, Lei Ren was not stupid either. He ran away after guarding Shizhai for less than half a day.

A big man behind Lu Weiliang stood up and pointed at Lei Ren's nose, sneered and mocked: "Hey, you really dare to open your teeth, don't you feel embarrassed? Less than 400 people were damaged, so he handed over the stone village. You are so embarrassed to say, if it were you, I would have found a piece of tofu to kill..."

"Oh...Big eyes, look at what you are saying? Will Lei only order his retreat after half of the loss? When will his brothers be so worthless? Do you have to bite the bullet and fight even though you know the situation is unfavorable?"

"You...you...belief..."

Seeing the two sides arguing, Lu Weiliang felt extremely headache and raised his hand and shouted: "It's enough, stop me, huh, since I'm back, let's have a good rest. I guess the officers and soldiers will attack the pass soon."
