Chapter 46

Early in the morning, on the official road.

A group of teenagers were trotting with long guns. The sound of footsteps startled the birds in the forest, fluttering their wings and flying into the sky.

"Stop moving!"

With a loud cry, the team suddenly stopped.

Three hundred youths put down their long guns, clubbed on the ground, panting, and more than a dozen mules and horses also snorted.

Obviously, they are very tired.

"Young master, why did you stop?"

After a bumpy night, Mrs. Li's face was very pale, but she still braced herself and asked Qin Huan not far away.

"Madam, how far is it from the path?"

Qin Huan looked at the Sirius stronghold not far away and didn't answer the question.

In the middle of the night, they ran fifty miles, with little rest.

"There should be more than twenty miles left. What's the matter, young master?"

"That's too bad. In our current state, it will take at least half an hour to run for more than 20 miles, but in 60 or 70 miles, the cavalry really let go of the run. I'm afraid it won't take only half an hour, so if we continue to run, we may be caught up by the cavalry before we turn into the mountain road."

Qin Huan said in a deep voice that he didn't believe that the eight kings would let him go so easily. Even if the eight kings were willing to let him go, sun Wang would never give up.

"What about that?" Mrs. Li thought for a while, her face also changed greatly, and asked anxiously.

The young people around heard their conversation. At this time, almost everyone guessed what was going on and looked at Qin Huan nervously.

"It seems that we can only fight once and go again."

Qin Huan turned over, jumped off his horse, raised his hands and helped her down from the horse.

"What? Fight... Fight? "

As soon as Mrs. Li landed, she trembled.

"Yes, each battalion can ride up to 300. We still have more than 300 people. The terrain here is quite favorable for us, and the odds of winning are still great."

Qin Huan nodded. If the other party wanted to chase him, he would send all cavalry. The reason why he stopped here was that the terrain was unfavorable for cavalry to kill.

On the inside of the official road is a hillside. Although it is not very steep, it is covered with shrubs and thorns, while on the outside is a large area of good farmland, not far from the Han River.

The key is that the official road is nearly two meters higher than the fertile field, or paddy field, so as long as you choose the narrowest place to be the road array, you may not be unable to stop each other.

Although he didn't want to fight this battle, he had to fight again, because if he continued to run, they were likely to be overtaken by the cavalry when they were exhausted.

If you choose to fight a war, you can rest and eat in place. On the contrary, the other party is rushing all the way.

Of course, on the Sirius, we can not fear the other cavalry, but it is dead, the other cavalry came, just blocking under the mountain, and then came to the army, there is no half life, so even if we swim across the Hanjiang River, Qin Yu will never go to the Sirius village.

Qin Huan didn't take care of Mrs. Li, but stepped on a hillside inside. When everyone looked at her, he said loudly:

"Brothers, you must have guessed that I want to leave the rebel army. Yes, the eight kings don't listen to the advice and insist on crossing the river and fighting with Zuo Liangyu. I don't want my brothers to die in vain, so I can only take you to find another way. I don't say much. Those who don't want to follow me can go now. I'm not reluctant."

Qin Huan said with one hand on his waist and danced with the other. The red cloak was already soaked with dew, and the sword tied around his waist clanged. At first glance, there was really a leader of the peasant army, just like a straw hat of the Ming army.

The teenagers were silent. It was obvious that Li Waner, who had just been helped off the horse by Mrs. Li, was staring at Qin Huan, which surprised Mrs. Li.

"Chief, if it hadn't been for you, we would have starved to death. No matter where you go, we will follow you, but where are we going?"

"Yes, chief, I heard that there are officers and soldiers everywhere near the valley city. Will we run into them if we walk like this?"

The young people are not stupid. Who would take care of them except Qin Huan?

Who will make clothes for them?

Let them eat every day and teach them to read and write?

After returning, I'm afraid it's still two rare and one dry every day. They do cannon fodder when fighting. Other leaders don't want them to be confidants and close guards. At most, they can be an ordinary rebel army, so few people are willing to go.

Although he had expected it, Qin Huan was very happy.

Quickly and loudly said: "brothers, don't worry. Mrs. Li knows a path to Nanzhang, which can avoid the officers and soldiers. When we get to Nanzhang, we will be safe, and Huguang is rich. Don't say eating wine and meat. With the long gun in my hands, it's not a problem for everyone to ask for a woman."

"Chief, really?"

"Can we really please the mother-in-law?"

As soon as the teenagers heard that they were asking for a mother-in-law, their eyes lit up, and they were no longer as worried as before.

After all, their biggest hope was to live on, eat enough every day and beg for mother-in-law. They didn't dare to think about it, but they never doubted Qin Huan's words in the past two months.

"Of course it's true, but if you want to go to Huguang smoothly, you have to go over the popular, spicy, mother-in-law and the last candy..."

Qin Huan waved his hand and explained that there might be pursuers.

At the moment, the young people's emotions have been mobilized, and their eyes are full of longing for a better future, so they are full of fighting spirit, and everyone holds the gun in their hands.

Qin Huan didn't delay, so he immediately ordered to rest and eat dry food.

Then let the two brothers and ten apprentices of Dazhu take their mother and daughter and lead the war horses to the front to avoid.

Of course, more than 100 powder cans have been unloaded.

After eating the dry food, when the teenagers had almost rested, they chose the narrowest place to fight.

After losing more than 30 people last time, Qin Huan dismissed the tenth team and added five more from the blacksmith apprentices, making the remaining nine teams full, a total of 270 people.

At this time, Qin tie with 30 Pro guards climbed the inner hillside and hid in the bushes, each with three powder cans.

The remaining 240 people, 120 in the front and 120 in the back, are only five meters apart, so that leader Qin can command on horseback.

Looking at the seven or eight meter wide official road ahead and the six or seven meter grass outside the official road, Qin Huan thought about it. He ordered people to dig two big pits and bury more than ten powder cans each.

"Mom, what if brother Xiaoyu defeats them?" Li Waner was still young after all. She said shivering as she chewed the big cake.

On the other side, the two brothers and 20 apprentices of Dazhu are better, but they are also nervous to die. They all look worried.

This is the difference between fighting on the battlefield and just playing soy sauce.

"No, you are young, but you have extraordinary skills. My mother believes that he will win!"

Mrs. Li said positively, as if comforting them and herself.

(thank Prince Bai Yu and your book friend for their reward. At the same time, I congratulate brother Bai Yu on becoming the first apprentice in this book. Thank you very much for your support and hope to make persistent efforts! Bow.)
