"Retreat now?"

"Why are you so eager?"

"This is impossible!"

…

As soon as Zhao Jin finished speaking, everyone around him started talking. Everyone was shocked, and everyone's head was filled with questions.

Because this is so unbelievable that it is completely unprepared.

"Don't ask other questions. This is a military order announced by Lord Guerrilla himself. I don't know if there are more. Let the brothers clean up quickly. Time is tight and there can be no delay." Zhao Jin stopped everyone's questioning in a loud voice.

Then, he glanced at the several captains, and then said to Li Ping: "Captain Li, gather your troops immediately and follow me to find some mules and horses elsewhere."

"ah?"

Li Ping was stunned on the spot.

At this time, go to look for mules and horses elsewhere? Where to look for them? Which foolish friendly army will give precious mules and horses to others at this time?

If he wanted to take the opportunity to prepare for a run, how could he get the whole team together?

Li Ping was completely unable to react.

"Don't think too much. The guerrillas said that each unit can search for mules and horses on their own to help. You just follow me." Zhao Jin explained.

Then, he turned to the other two captains and said, "If we are late, Captain Qi and Captain Wang don't have to wait. They can just go ahead with the group and we will catch up with them."

Seeing that everyone was still sitting there in silence, Zhao Jin shouted impatiently: "Don't be dazed, move faster, faster."

Amidst Zhao Jin's roar, the captains and chiefs finally dispersed, and the entire camp became chaotic. Various shouts continued to sound, and Zhao Jin was so angry that he shouted from the side: "The general soldiers are not allowed to make noise!".

But at this time, the entire Zuojun camp was boiling.

Seeing that Li Ping quickly organized his team, Zhao Jin, who had put on his leather armor carelessly, stopped caring about anything else and immediately called Li Ping and the others out of the camp and trotted away.

"Where are we going?" Li Ping continued to ask confusedly as he ran.

"Go grab friendly troops." Zhao Jin said briefly.

Li Ping staggered and almost fell. He couldn't believe it and asked hurriedly: "Are you kidding me?"

"The withdrawal order was given by our commander-in-chief himself. The supervisor and other commander-in-chiefs were completely unaware of it. There are many people with mixed opinions, so don't ask so many questions." After Zhao Jin helped Li Ping, he whispered a few words quickly.

.

Li Ping's head buzzed, and he became even more confused in an instant.

Zuo Liangyu is too courageous!

It is estimated that no one would have thought that he would dare to flee privately in the face of a battle, which would push his superiors and allies into a pit of fire! What's more terrible is that this is completely naked disobedience to the emperor's order, and it is definitely a capital crime among capital crimes.

However, the arrogance and energy of Hu Gan are really in line with the original historical images.

Has history not changed, but I just know less?

Li Ping's head was full of mush, and he just continued to trot after Zhao Jin numbly. He didn't even take it seriously when Shi Ming and Wang Chengwu chased him to help.

Zhao Jin should have scouted the surrounding camps long ago. He was very skillful in walking in the dark. Soon he got into a camp, and after turning left and right, he led Li Ping and others straight towards

A small but loosely guarded area for mules and horses.

I don’t know which general this battalion belongs to, or whether it is a purely friendly army belonging to Zuo Liangyu. Anyway, a large group of people rushed over and beat the Ming army away before they could react.

There were many idiots who robbed the mules and donkeys and left.

Zhao Jin also ordered everyone not to be greedy, and everyone should only lead one person and walk away quickly.

As for the horses, Zhao Jin didn't even think about it. Instead, everyone explained: "Isn't it just asking for death to rob the horse stables of the cavalry who are being focused on during the chaos? Otherwise, they will be beaten away and it will waste a lot of time."

Shi Ming, who came to help, didn't say anything else at first, but after protecting everyone on the way back, he insisted on riding a mule with Wang Chengwu back.

Not long after, they saw these two men bringing back four horses, which immediately attracted applause from all the troops. Their bravery was indeed beyond boasting.

Shi Ming has been bragging for the past few days that he has been practicing sports since he was a child. After graduating from high school, he has been making a living in society. He has started several industries such as driving schools and logistics based on his own skills. He has gained some respect in the local black and white circles.

Now it seems that it is very likely that what he said is true.

Perhaps Shi Ming's experience, directly expressing his strength when faced with difficulties is his philosophy of doing things, and it is more likely to bring benefits to him.

At this time, at a higher ground south of Zhuxian Town, Ming Dynasty's former Pingthief General, Prince Shaobao, and current commander-in-chief Zuo Liangyu, surrounded by soldiers, were riding on horses with some confidants and officers, and were seriously inspecting.

The army breaks out of camp.

Zuo Liangyu was demoted and sentenced to meritorious service for his failure to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong last year. In February this year, he was almost killed by Li Zicheng in Yancheng, Henan Province. If Wang Qiaonian, the governor of Shaanxi Province, had not led his army out of the border and adopted the strategy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, Zuo Liangyu would have been saved.

Liangyu is probably dead.

If Li Zicheng insisted on fighting Zuo Liangyu, the main reason was that Zuo Liangyu secretly attacked his storage base Linying and massacred the city. How could Li Zicheng not be impatient!

At present, Zuo Liangyu's troops are relatively rich in mules, horses, tents, etc. This is the huge capture during the sneak attack on Linying.

However, Li Zicheng was half-kneaded by Zuo Liangyu but acted impulsively and withdrew his troops resolutely. This was not entirely because he fell into a trap, but because he was afraid that Wang Qionian would run away.

The fact that Li Zicheng insisted on marrying Wang Qiaonian was not actually because Wang Qiaonian had a higher position. The main reason was that Li Zicheng became red-eyed when he heard the word Wang Qiaonian.

Why is Li Zicheng so excited?

That's because Wang Qiaonian did something big, something that drove Li Zicheng crazy.

He dug up Li Zicheng's ancestral grave. This is quite extraordinary!

Only then did Li Zicheng happily let Zuo Liangyu go, and for the first time, he left a shadow in the heart of this famous Ming Dynasty warrior.

But Zuo Liangyu didn't think so. He actually felt that his defense of the city was pretty good, but of course he also realized that Li Zicheng was not simple and could not be easily shaken.

It is even less likely that low-level officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will understand the twists and turns at the upper level, nor can they understand or see the larger strategic and tactical levels.

They only knew that it was great to follow Zuo Liangyu and rob Li Zicheng, and then Li Zicheng chased them but did not bite them. In their eyes, Zuo Zongbing was naturally very powerful, but Li Zicheng was nothing to be afraid of.

Zhao Jin, Shi Ming and others did not have access to high-level generals, so they could only learn what ordinary officers and soldiers knew, so they naturally thought that Zuo Liangyu was really powerful.

But Wang Qiaonian rescued Zuo Liangyu, but Zuo Liangyu did not care about Wang Qiaonian's life or death. Until Wang Qiaonian's entire army was wiped out, Zuo Liangyu, who had already relieved the siege, did not send troops. Wang Qiaonian's plan to attack Li Zicheng back and forth was completely ruined, and he still died.

Very miserable.

But this time, Zuo Liangyu acted even more stupidly. I wonder if he hadn't recovered from the shock that Li Zicheng had given him.

The years have mercilessly etched deep marks on this tall and strong man who became famous in Liaodong and once made countless peasant soldiers avoid fighting in fear.

Zuo Liangyu, who has only reached middle age, may really be old!

Although he tried hard to straighten his waist, it could not hide his age and weakness.

Seeing the commander-in-chief heaving a sigh of relief, a general beside Zuo Liangyu clasped his fists on his horse and asked: "General, are you really not going to inform the governor? If the court blames you, you don't know how much grievance you will suffer.

"

Zuo Liangyu's face was already red, but when his confidant mentioned the Governor, he turned completely black. He was angry and said: "It's useless to know! What does Ding Qirui, a scholar, know? The bandit army is powerful.

We can only slow down the plan, not rush it. Now we have insufficient food and water, and our military morale is already unstable, but this nerd today forced all the troops to fight the rebels tomorrow. What is the difference between this and surrendering to death? If we don't retreat today, he will be killed tomorrow.

If you incite other tribes to cause chaos, you will definitely be defeated."

Listening to all the confidants in agreement, Zuo Liangyu softened his tone and said: "How could this idiot Ding not know about the big news when our troops withdraw? He is not a fool, and he will definitely withdraw his troops. As for the imperial court,

As long as our soldiers are still there, what can you do to me? Besides, I have been demoted to the rank of chief soldier, what else can I do?"

At this time, another general saw his general mentioning the generals. He also clasped his fists and asked about the army. He first flattered him and said: "General, he is a mature general. We are really lucky to be at his side."

also".

Then he asked knowingly: "I'm just a stupid little guy. Please give me some advice, general. Marching in the dark is not easy. It will be even more troublesome if the bandit army comes after us. How should we deal with it?"

Zuo Liangyu said proudly: "Don't worry too much. The rebel army is mostly rats, but this time our army has many soldiers and generals, so the traitor army will be afraid of them. We are temporarily withdrawing our troops because our army is currently short of food and water, and we have to let them go."

The thieves have an advantageous location and would easily suffer too much damage if they attack. How could they dare to pursue them unless they were afraid of them?

Besides, I ordered the infantry to advance first and the cavalry to follow, and with the cover of night, the thieves will not know how to attack. If any group of thieves does not know what to do, let the cavalry men teach them a lesson, and they will retreat on their own."

After hearing what Zuo Liangyu said, all the generals immediately beamed and smiled, and the voice of "the general is wise" could not be heard.

At this time, several other Ming army camps in the distance also began to break into chaos, all filled with the neighing of mules and horses.

Seeing the chaos, the generals began to laugh and talk quietly. It turned out that many generals had secretly sent troops to seize the horses and mules of other Ming troops for the return journey.

Zuo Liangyu frowned when he heard the discussion. After hesitating for a moment, he pretended not to know.

Then, he lamented that he was getting older and a little tired, and loudly said that he needed to find a carriage to take a rest. After saying that, he turned around and left with his soldiers.

The generals understood in their hearts and did not say anything else, and hurriedly sent the old general off respectfully.

It was said that it would take half an hour, but in fact it took at least twice as long for the entire Zuo Liangyu army to start to break camp.

Because Zuo Liangyu's troops not only wanted to grab things, but also had 100,000 troops. It was impossible for them to leave in a short time. The more troops there were, the more complicated the organization for breaking out of camp would be.

When it was discovered that Zuo Liangyu's troops were looting friendly troops and showing signs of withdrawal, the frightened Ming troops reacted so quickly that they actually organized quickly and ran away faster, heading in other directions.

Dropped.

These friendly troops did not go south, because the south was Zuo Liangyu's territory, and they were not stupid enough to send themselves to Zuo Liangyu to be robbed.

That's right, all the belated friendly troops ran away first, leaving Zuo Liangyu's army at the back.

How confusing! But it really happened.

And Du Guerrilla was also confusingly unhurried. His brigade moved very slowly, far behind the end of the entire southward retreating army.

Although Du Guerrilla gained a lot from robbing friendly troops, with almost two to three hundred livestock of various types, and some other property, it was not enough to make him confused because of these small fortunes.

In fact, Du Youyi did this on purpose, and he didn't want to be unhappy.

Because Du Youyi knew that Zuo Liangyu was going to lead the cavalry brigade behind, Du Youyi decided to go behind. He wanted to be closer to his old boss. If he could get some arrangements for this, he could also win the favor of his old boss.

However, Du Guerrilla also asked two soldiers to lead Zhao Jin's sentry troops to protect Zhao Lanyue and go ahead early.

The main reason why he did this was that he might be disturbed by intruders, and he was very worried that the delicate Zhao Lanyue would be frightened again. This was because he was going to marry a married woman in the future, and he could not leave any root causes of illness, especially mental ones.

So in the endless southward retreat, ten unlucky guys from different time and space began their first march in the new world.

However, the road ahead is long, and besides being confused, I am still confused.
