Chapter 61 Follow all the way

But he said that there were only more than fifty sergeants left on Yang Shucheng's side, and he was surrounded by hundreds of Jin soldiers. His life was hanging by a breath.

At this time, more than a thousand people suddenly came from Liaoyang City. They came in overwhelming numbers and were unstoppable.

Qiu Lin saw it and shouted: "Reinforcements are here, Liaoyang soldiers are coming."

More than a thousand people came running toward them, gradually getting closer. Sure enough, they were dressed as soldiers from the Ming Dynasty.

The Jin soldiers here were frightened when they saw this army coming in overwhelming numbers. They quickly divided into two groups. More than 200 people surrounded Yang Shucheng and others along the way, preventing any of them from escaping. Nearly 200 soldiers from the other group He caught up with the military pay vehicle and fled toward the mountains to the west.

Qiu and Lin saw that their military pay had been robbed. This matter was not a trivial matter. However, after this battle for their lives, the two of them were already exhausted and could not even move half a step. The remaining soldiers also lacked arms and legs and could no longer fight.

Yang Shucheng summoned up his power and repeatedly used his special moves "Jingwei Reclamation" and "Pangu Kaitian" to stab several people to death with one sword. However, these people died and more people came, just to prevent Yang Shucheng and others from being killed. Break out of the encirclement,

In an instant, corpses were piled everywhere in front of Yang Shucheng, but there were nearly 200 enemy soldiers who were heavily surrounded and could not get out.

Looking again, the military pay truck had already been driven into the mountains to the west. When Jin Guobing saw this, he abandoned the people on Qiu Lin's side and rode into the Western Mountain like a whirlwind.

Although the people on Qiu Lin's side were relieved of the siege and no longer in danger of their lives, the military pay train had long since disappeared.

They stood on the roadside, hoping that the army would come here quickly.

The army quickly rushed forward like a tide, but ignored these people and ran straight south without trying to get the military pay back.

Qiu Lin was in a hurry.

Yang Shucheng caught up with him, grabbed a running soldier, and shouted, "Why don't you go and get your military pay back?"

The soldier was running and was grabbed by Yang Shucheng. He couldn't get away and shouted, "Why are you grabbing me? Why don't you run away!"

"What are you running for?"

"Liaoning City has been captured, and the Jin soldiers will be chasing them soon. Don't you hurry up and run." The soldier broke free and ran faster than a rabbit.

At this time, there was a general on horseback, running towards the south. Qiu Lin saw it and ran forward to intercept him, shouting: "General, general, wait a minute, wait a minute."

When the general saw someone coming to intercept him, he raised his iron spear and stabbed Qiu Lin. Qiu Lin got out of the way, and the general rode his horse and fled southward like a whirlwind.

Qiu Lin also expected these sergeants to help him get back his military pay, but he didn't expect that they were deserted soldiers. No one came to care for him. He lost hope and sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

Yang Shucheng came to persuade him, and Qiu Lin cried: "I spent five thousand silver taels and went through a lot of hard work to get a general. I was cautious along the way, and I was able to reach the border and make military exploits. Who would have thought that if I lost my military pay, I would die." It's a small matter, and it will bring trouble to my parents and my wife at home."

Yang Shucheng comforted him and said: "What's worse, we will take advantage of the Jin soldiers' carelessness and snatch back the military pay."

Qiu Lin was also a perseverant man. After hearing these words, he stood up and said: "I will fight to the death to take back my Ming army pay. Young Master Yang, Brother Yang, are you willing to help me?"

"I'm with you." Yang Shucheng said firmly.

At this time, the more than a thousand defeated soldiers fled completely. The more than 40 soldiers on his side helped each other and came to Qiu Lin's side. Qiu Lin calmed down and said to everyone: "Brothers, losing military pay is a capital crime. Now we go to chase the military pay and come back. Even if we don't catch up and die for the country, we won't cause trouble to the family. How are you all?"

"Okay, let's follow the general."

When Qiu Lin saw that everyone was angry, he immediately calmed down and ordered: "Young Shaoxia and I will go after the army pay. We will make a mark along the road. You can follow the mark to catch up."

Yang Shucheng and Yang Shucheng ran towards the mountains to the west, and there were indeed car tracks along the road. Follow the car tracks and run into the mountains.

After following for four or five miles, the car's tracks came towards the north. The two marked the route and chased him north.

I chased him for more than two miles. The car mark suddenly disappeared.

Qiu Lin squatted there, looking at the ground and thinking deeply. He had been reading since he was a child, and loved reading "Three Kingdoms". He was also very smart throughout his life. Thinking about the domestic and foreign troubles of the Ming Dynasty, he decided to learn martial arts, literary skills, and military strategies. He is a very resourceful person.

He thought for a while and understood immediately, then said to Yang Shucheng: "These Jin soldiers, after grabbing their military pay, have been walking north and are almost reaching Liaoning City. And Liaoning City has just been breached, what else do they have to worry about? Now there are suddenly no rut marks, so it’s suspicious.”

Yang Shucheng also felt strange and said, "Are you still afraid that we will chase you?"

"No." Qiu Lin stood up, took a few steps back and forth, and said, "There is only one possibility. They went south."

"Why is this?" Yang Shucheng asked.

Qiu Lin was vaguely worried, but he couldn't be sure, so he couldn't say it out loud. He just said: "I feel that I can only go south."

"We'll chase him."

"No." Qiu Lin analyzed, "They don't have ruts here. There must be an ambush near here. Let's try to get around it."

Yang Shucheng thought that Qiu Lin was also a general. He was panicked at first, but now he is very calm and composed. Unfortunately, he was untimely and lost his military pay. He was really jealous of the talented man.

Qiu Lin said: "Since we know that they are going south, we can retreat along the road to the southeast, and then chase them to the southwest, and we may catch up with them."

"it is good."

The two made a mark and ran southeast for a while to avoid the ambush area. Then they turned southwest and ran four or five miles away. Sure enough, they found ruts in a ravine.

Qiu Lin became more and more worried. Is it really what he thought? He shook his head and tried to control himself not to think in this direction.

The two of them followed the rut and headed south. Finally, before dark, I saw the military vehicles, one after another, as many as twenty-five, not too many, quietly and neatly placed there.

The two were hiding in the deep grass. Yang Shucheng asked: "General Qiu, this is wrong. Why did you come to the south?"

Qiu Lin sighed and finally expressed his thoughts: "I have expected it, but I dare not think about it. This was robbed by our own people."

"This military pay is related to the popular support of the army. To rob the military pay, how much does it have to do with it?"

Qiu Lin said: "You and I are both scholars. Do you remember that those who steal pearls will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyred. For their own greed, they will do anything to harm the country and the people."

"It's really hateful. What good will it do to him if the Ming Dynasty dies?" Yang Shucheng said bitterly.

Qiu Lin sighed and didn't speak for a long time. Yang Shucheng said: "These traitors, let's rush up and kill a few of them. Even if they die, we will relieve our hatred."

Qiu Lin said: "If we rush forward, a few more people will die, which will not help the situation."

"The only way is to wait until it gets dark, go forward, start a massacre, and take advantage of the chaos to get back the military pay."

"That's the only way to do it."

The two of them hid behind the bushes, and as the sky gradually turned dark, the more than forty soldiers behind followed the marks and quietly followed them. He followed the two men and hid in the deep grass, only to rush forward in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, this night, nearly 500 sergeants were on duty in rotation, without any slack, and there was no chance at all.

The next day, the team continued to move south, and Qiu Lin and his men continued to follow, looking for opportunities to regain their military pay. This unit was on high alert day and night. Where there was no chance of regaining military pay, they had no choice but to follow them all the way.

After walking for more than ten days, they could already see the winding Great Wall. The group of soldiers walked to the foot of the Great Wall. The Great Wall was majestic and majestic. It stood on top of the mountains and protected the Ming Dynasty. It was really impregnable.

These nearly five hundred people came to the Great Wall with military pay and blew the promised horns. Soon the Ming Dynasty defenders appeared on the crenellations of the Great Wall.

It had already been agreed between the inside and outside. The rope was lowered from above and the military pay cart was pulled up first.

The soldiers repeatedly asked to come forward and take back their pay, but Qiu Lin always refused and told everyone to stand still.

Watching the army pay carts pull up to the city wall, and then pull more than 400 sergeants up. Qiu Lin kept watching and refused to give orders for the soldiers to charge forward.

There was not a single figure on the city wall. Qiu Lin said to his more than 40 men: "If you rush up, you will die in vain. I will find a way to get back the military pay."

Qiu Lin said to Yang Shucheng: "I had expected that Wu Xiang was going to do this."

Qiu Lin analyzed: "This Wu Xiang is not simple. He fled while watching the enemy outside the pass, and the entire army was destroyed. He was arrested by the emperor and sent to prison. He should be executed if found guilty. Who would have thought that he followed the path of Cao Fengying and was actually released? , has not committed any crimes, yet he has become a pillar of the country, and has become such an important commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. You can imagine how amazing this man is!"

Qiu Lin continued: "Yang Shaoxia interfered with Wu Sangui's business in Fuping County, but he didn't pursue it and let us pass Shanhaiguan smoothly. I was careless at the time, so I should have thought that he had done this. I only blame me for being familiar with military books. , it still fell into the hands of the Wu family and his son."

Yang Shucheng said: "Who would have thought that his father and son were so crazy that they would do such a thing."

Qiu Lin looked up to the sky and sighed, saying: "It's a shame that this military salary has fallen into the hands of this traitor. I really can't accept it."

Yang Shucheng said: "It's too early to give up now. Let's sneak into the prison and argue with him."

"Okay. Let's leave now."

Qiu Lin immediately led the more than 40 soldiers along the Great Wall, over the mountains and ridges, and headed east. After walking for a day or two, they soon arrived in front of Shanhaiguan.

Qiu Lin and others ran to the pass. It had been almost twenty days, and more than a thousand soldiers who had fled from Liaoning City were still blocking Shanhaiguan. Soldiers were lined up on the city wall, bows drawn and waiting.

"Let us in quickly."

"The golden soldiers are calling."

"Please let us in."

Perhaps the shouts of these soldiers finally touched the heart of Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass. The city gate slowly opened, and more than a thousand soldiers rushed towards the city like a tide.

More than forty soldiers from Qiu Lin's side also rushed in with the torrent.

Qiu Lin and Yang Shucheng also mixed in the crowd and rushed forward. Suddenly Qiu Lin pulled Yang Shucheng and shouted:

"Wait a minute!"
