Chapter 341: Hard Steel Array
pity……
No matter how much they yelled, it was useless! The Qin army would still run and would not stop for even a moment.
Seeing their "hopes" completely dashed in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaolan's body suddenly went limp, and she howled in pain, "It's over! These guys are like child's play, running around like they're having fun! What should I do now?"
Turning around, she looked at Yan Anxun, Wang Yuanya and others.
As a result, the faces of this group of people, including the Liangshan heroes, all turned pale and no one spoke.
It is clear!
How to do?
They didn't know what to do. If this group of Qin soldiers suddenly ran away, the only thing they could do now was to "surrender."
"I think... we should find a place to hide and see if we can... if we can escape Li Cunzhi's next pursuit!"
The eldest brother sighed. God had no idea how helpless he felt when he said this.
Being made so miserable by a bandit and traitor, what a joke! Although Yan Anxun was not a powerful figure in terms of "politics", he was a well-known figure in the underworld, right?
The most embarrassed person among them must be Chen Xiaodao.
How presumptuous!
Before, he was still praising the Qin army and thought the King of Qin was really kind, but after receiving his letter for help...
He actually sent the Qin army to rescue him immediately. When the Qin army appeared at the gate of "Ji'an" County, he was really moved! He felt that the King of Qin was his reborn parent!
but now……
神马东西！
Is it really fun to give someone hope and then take it away? You might as well not have given me hope in the first place.
Everyone felt helpless, and they could only look at the "boss" Wang Yuanya and ask her what she thought about what to do?
In this situation, what else can Wang Yuanya do?
She could only follow her senior brother's advice and find a place to hide before Li Cunzhi brought his men to attack her!
"Okay, let's follow Brother's instructions and find a place to hide for a while!"
After Wang Yuanya gave the order, the group turned around and were about to leave, but unexpectedly, a Liangshan hero in the crowd shouted, "Wait! There's something going on behind!"
Ok?
Everyone turned their heads and looked, and they were all stunned! They saw a group of cavalry coming towards them quickly.
what's going on?
Did the Qin army that had just retreated change its mind? Did they lead the cavalry back to fight?
If that's the case, don't they still have a chance? Maybe they can hold on a little longer.
But the next moment...
When they got a clear look at the incoming cavalry, they were speechless again. Looking at their attire and the flags they were flying, they looked like barbarians! Truly barbarians.
How come they are here?
Who are these barbarians?
Of course it was Babutai's "personal guards". Only people of his level would use real barbarians as guards. In order to ensure the safety of the intelligence, Babutai asked his personal guards to quickly issue orders to Ji'an County.
What command?
"General Babutai has issued an order! All troops in Ji'an County, immediately open the city gates and join us in attacking the invading Qin army!"
A royal guard on horseback arrived at the foot of the city wall of Ji'an County, and ran around the wall while shouting loudly.
The county magistrate, Li Cunzhi and others on the city wall turned pale with fright!
What the hell!
He was thankful that the Qin army could evacuate, so why? Now he felt that it was not exciting enough and wanted to open the city gates to pursue them?
Even if it's unpleasant, so what?
They may not die if they offend the Qin army, but they will definitely die if they offend Babutai and disobey the general's orders!
The county magistrate had no choice but to follow Babutai's order and had the city gates opened and the entire army attack.
Why did Babutai issue this strange order? The answer is simple. It is better to use the remaining courage to pursue the enemy rather than to seek fame by imitating the tyrant!
He gathered 20,000 troops and prepared to besiege the 2,000 Qin troops, but the commander on the opposite side was obviously a bit "cowardly".
After receiving the report from the scouts, he did not fire a single shot and instead ordered a retreat.
Ah this...
That is why ah?
After Babutai heard the news, he felt extremely numb.
Is this the fierce and ferocious army that he encountered on the Qingzhou battlefield before, which almost killed his soul?
Why do I feel like he's a little bit timid?
Originally, the order that Babutai received from the imperial court was for him to drive out the invading Qin army, which would have achieved his goal.
But the scouts came back to report that the enemy had only about one or two thousand people!
Yes! This is the power of scouts. They can estimate the number of enemies by looking at footprints, living stoves, and even hauling horses.
When Babutai received this news, his head buzzed and he was shocked.
Motherfucker!
What kind of crazy batch is this?
Two thousand people dare to penetrate deep into our hinterland?
Although the imperial court's order was to complete the mission if they dared to leave, the other side had 2,000 people, and he had 20,000 people under his command! In addition, there were troops from Ji'an County, which was still their ruling heartland.
Can this make the other party run away directly?
It's not just a matter of Babutai failing to complete the task. If this gets out, his career will be completely ruined!
With a force ten times heavier than the enemy's and armed with the latest muskets and red-coated cannons, how could they allow these two thousand Qin troops to escape right under their noses?
Wouldn't his colleagues laugh at him to death when he returned to the Barbarian Tribe? Wouldn't this incident become a lifelong stain?
It was because of all these reasons that Babutai decided to be ruthless and devour all of this group of people.
"Chase! Chase! We must annihilate these two thousand Qin troops right here. Anyone who lets them go will be beheaded."
that's it……
Babutai returned the humiliation he suffered in Qingzhou to the Qin army today.
One of the two sides was almost out of breath from running, and the other was almost out of breath from chasing!
At the beginning, they were afraid that the Qin army had an ambush ahead, so they didn't dare to chase too hard.
But after running so far, I realized that these guys were really running for their lives. How could there be any ambush?
After Babutai was completely relieved, he immediately ordered the entire army to catch up with them as quickly as possible and capture these people at all costs.
but……
It would be bad if he were too abrupt, but it would also be wrong if he were too cautious.
Now that we have chased them here and are thinking about wiping out this entire army, isn’t it a bit too late?
Because the Qin army had stopped running! Two thousand men were lined up in front, ready to have a head-on confrontation with Babutai's army!
