Chapter 2318 Blocking
After Qin Tian explored the road to Liu Bei's surprise attack, he did not leave. He waited on this road for the deserters after the enemy's defeat on the battlefield. Judging from Liu Bei's past behavior, even after Liu Bei's defeat on the battlefield, Liu Bei
He will not give up the hope of living easily. In this case, Liu Bei is very likely to escape, and Liu Bei may take this path. After capturing Liu Bei, he will get huge credit. Qin Tian will naturally not easily
of giving up.
Not only that, Qin Tian even mobilized hundreds of Black Ice Platform assassins to lurk on this road that Liu Bei considered very hidden.
Zhengang was the first army to be defeated on the battlefield. After he returned to Zhu Bao's army, the two teams reunited and began to flee. However, Zhengang did not follow Zhu Bao after escaping. Zhengang
There is already a grudge between Zhu Bao and Gao Ding. They were only briefly united on the battlefield in Yizhou. Now he has only a thousand troops. It will be extremely dangerous to follow Zhu Bao.
move.
Zheng Ang was not sure whether Zhu Bao would take action against him at such a critical moment.
Only after escaping to Yizhou County, Zhengang will be completely relieved. He has a similar mood to Gao Ding and Zhu Bao. He is only infinitely angry towards Liu Bei. If it weren't for Liu Bei, he would not have died on the Yizhou battlefield.
Failure, these Chang'an troops are not only terrifying, they are simply demons on the battlefield.
If possible, Zheng Ang would not go against Lu Bu again. The reason why he returned to Yizhou County so eagerly was because he wanted to have a certain amount of capital when he took refuge with Lu Bu. After being defeated on the battlefield, taking refuge with Lu Bu was different from returning to Yizhou.
There is a big difference between the state and the county and then joining Lu Bu.
In the case of the latter, Zheng Ang may be able to get more rewards. With such a goal in mind, Zheng Ang is eager to leave the battlefield.
The road Zheng Ang chose was exactly the way he came from to retreat. On the way to escape, the number of soldiers around Zheng Ang dropped sharply. When Liu Bei discovered the road, there were only more than 300 soldiers around him.
Zheng Ang was not familiar with this road. Liu Bei had only briefly mentioned it in the army before and did not elaborate on the situation on the road. Zheng Ang and Zhu Bao led the army directly from the camp to the battlefield.
However, among the soldiers who fled with Zheng Ang, there were generals who were familiar with this road.
The group of people moved forward in the night. They did not even dare to light torches, and the soldiers were not allowed to make any sound during the journey for fear of attracting pursuit from the Chang'an army.
The officers and soldiers in the army also understand that now is the critical moment. If they can return to the camp through this road and return to Yizhou County, they will be safe. Otherwise, they will have to die on the battlefield, facing the hope of survival.
, they did not dare to disobey Zheng Ang's orders in the slightest.
Zheng Ang still has a certain prestige in the army. If he can follow Zheng Ang and escape from the battlefield, it will be extremely beneficial to the soldiers in the army.
In the darkness of the night, what Zheng Ang's soldiers did not realize was that there were several eyes watching them near them.
Zheng Ang and others advanced very slowly. Many soldiers in the army could not see the road clearly in this night, so they could only move forward slowly behind the soldiers who could see clearly at night.
"Prefect, the road ahead is narrow and can only allow two people to pass." The general whispered.
Zhengang nodded and said: "If we pass, we only need to send a small number of soldiers to guard here to prevent the enemy from pursuing us."
"The governor is wise," the general agreed.
Zheng Ang felt a lot more relaxed after traveling for so long without encountering any enemy pursuers. After today's defeat on the battlefield, facing the overwhelming offensive from the Chang'an Army, Zheng Ang once thought he was going to die on the battlefield.
He has a profound understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Chang'an Army.
"Prefect, the road ahead is narrow, so why not order the soldiers to light torches? Only in this way can we avoid more casualties among the soldiers." The general advised.
Zheng Ang was silent for a moment before agreeing. These soldiers were his important protective force when he left the battlefield. His own army failed on the battlefield, and he didn't know what the conditions were like in the camps outside the city. There were many enemy troops in Chengdu.
If the enemy army attacks the camp, they will have no choice but to flee directly back to Yizhou County. As for the life and death of ordinary soldiers in the army, it doesn't matter to Zheng Ang. As long as they can escape from the battlefield,
As long as there is still a chance, dying on the battlefield means that everything will be over. In this regard, Zheng Ang still has a clear understanding.
Under the illumination of the fire, the pale faces of the army sergeants were reflected. In order to ensure concealment, fifty torches were lit in the army.
The firelight made the soldiers in the army relax a lot. The road was rugged and difficult, and the night made walking even more difficult. With the firelight, they could move faster.
The captain who was leading the way at the front stopped, and the entire team gradually came to a halt. The captain saw the enemy in the darkness opposite. Although the enemy was dressed in black, he was discovered by the soldiers in front.
The enemy army appears at this time, which will pose a fatal threat to the escaping team. This is the narrowest place on the entire road, and only two people can be allowed to pass. In other words, the enemy only needs to hold firmly
Defending here will make it difficult for them to escape.
At this point, it is unrealistic for them to turn around and leave. There are enemy soldiers patrolling the battlefield. Once they are discovered, will there be a good outcome?
Panic spread among the army, and many soldiers looked pale after learning about the situation ahead. What they hoped for most was to leave the battlefield, but now their hope of escaping had been cut off.
Facing the enemy, they were desperate.
Seeing that the team stopped marching, Zheng Ang in the middle asked curiously: "What happened in the front?"
"Perhaps we have reached the narrowest place and the team's march needs to be modified," the general explained.
"Prefect, the enemy troops have been spotted in the front. We can't see how many there are in the darkness." A captain came over in panic. At the same time, the news that the enemy troops were spotted in the front spread at an extremely fast speed among the army.
.
When Zheng Ang heard this, his expression changed drastically. He originally thought he had escaped from the battlefield, but he didn't expect that the enemy had laid an ambush at this place. The officers and soldiers in the army were panic-stricken. What chance did they have of winning against the enemy?
"Prefect, the road ahead is the narrowest. Even if the soldiers charge, it may be difficult to break through the enemy's defense," the general murmured.
