Dark clouds cover the moon, and the night is dark.
A group of militia patrols armed with cold blades walked along the fence, and the weapons collided with harsh clanging sounds.
Painful whimpers and wailing sounded from time to time in the tent in the distance, adding to the melancholy atmosphere of the camp.
"I don't know when the reinforcements will arrive. If this continues, we will almost have nothing to eat."
An officer of the civilian army on the patrol couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the group of weak soldiers by the fire.
"Let's go quickly, go back and lie down after the tour, or you will consume your energy and get hungry quickly."
Another officer looked away from the weak soldiers.
Although the army has run out of food, Qin Lie's personal guards alone have a small amount of food, but they can only guarantee a bowl of porridge a day.
The lack of food led to a continuous decline in the morale of the army, and many soldiers were too weak to stand up, so the task of patrolling fell on the shoulders of Qin Lie's personal guards.
During the day, the Qinghe Army Guards Banner Regiment deliberately set fire to cook and stew meat in the distance, and kept shouting to persuade the encircled militia troops to surrender.
Qin Lie also issued a death order, that is to strengthen patrols, and if anyone dares to surrender, he will be killed without mercy.
Not long after the patrol team of the militia passed by, there was a rustling sound behind an open hood, and several black shadows appeared on tiptoe.
After they glanced at the weak and weak soldiers by the fire not far away, they ran straight to the fence, and then climbed over.
"What are you doing¡ª"
The soldiers by the fire saw someone trying to climb over the fence and escape from the camp, so they couldn't help but shouted loudly.
"Shut up."
Hearing the soldier's shout, the hundred people around him hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Brothers, if we continue to stay here, we will only wait for death. Why don't we surrender? The Qinghe army said they would not kill us, and they will give us food."
This hundred-man general was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he was also moved when he saw someone fleeing over the fence in the distance.
"Hundred generals, if we escape and are caught, we will lose our heads." Some soldiers said worriedly.
"Let's run back while there is no one there, they won't be able to catch us."
The hundred general looked around, stood up immediately and said: "Go and call the other brothers in our village, let's go together."
Their centurions were all from the same village, and they were forcibly conscripted by the 20th Corps of the People's Army.
Originally they were unwilling to go to the battlefield to fight, but they were forced by the sword, and they dared not refuse.
Now that Qin Lie's troops are in a panic, and they have run out of food, they are starving and have no choice but to take risks.
Under the leadership of this hundred-man general, soon the soldiers in their village also climbed over the fence and fled from the camp of the militia.
The escape was unexpectedly smooth, because many sentinels sneaked away after dark, causing almost no one to care about them except the patrol team.
More and more militia soldiers began to flee this dilapidated camp, and they wanted to ask for a living.
As a large number of militia soldiers fled secretly, the patrol team also discovered it, and hurriedly sent troops to stop it, and the two sides even met swordsmen.
"Young master, the entire 8,000th team has become a deserter."
"There was a conflict between the 11th Battalion and the patrol."
There was chaos in the civilian army camp, and the generals with confidantes immediately went to report to Qin Lie.
"Damn it!"
Hearing that many people fled one after another, Qin Lie was also furious.
"Pass my military order, all deserters will be killed!"
"Young master, the patrol team can't stop them at all, they are fleeing from all directions." The confidant general couldn't help but sighed.
"Young master, the general situation is over, we have to make plans early."
?The troops along their way have encountered heavy setbacks one after another, and now they have become a mess.
Although Qin Lie wanted to try his best to stand by and wait for help, even he himself didn't know if the reinforcements would still come to report.
"Young Master, thousands of people have fled again. The brothers from the Fifth Patrol were unable to stop them, and they were all dispersed. Please give me some more troops."
At this moment, a burly military officer broke into Qin Lie's military tent and started yelling loudly.
?When Lie saw this burly officer, he slumped down on the chair and couldn't help hugging his head.
Qin Lie ambitiously wanted to capture the Yunxi Mansion and win the first victory, but who knew that he had reached this point now.
Vanguard officer Xu Yong's troops were in a state of unstoppable momentum all the way, but when he took over the position of vanguard, he was targeted everywhere by the Qinghe army, which made him puzzled.
Qin Lie naturally didn't know that Xu Yong was a super undercover agent of the Qinghe Army hidden in the 20th Corps of the Civilian Army, and it would be no wonder he didn't win the battle.
"Young master, you are not afraid of running out of firewood if you keep the green hills. Let's go quickly. Once the bandit army learns about the situation in my camp and comes to kill us, they will not be able to leave." The staff also persuaded.
The generals also echoed one after another: "Young master, as long as we can go back alive, we will never know if we will make a comeback."
After hearing the persuasion from his staff and generals, Qin Lie pulled himself together and stood up again.
"Send me an order to gather our trusted brothers and break through immediately."
Although Qin Lie was extremely unwilling, he also knew that he was powerless now.
"Young master, what about the others?"
Hearing that Qin Lie only led his trusted brothers to break through, some generals couldn't help asking.
"The cavalry of the bandit army is staring at the side. If there are too many people, they will not be able to leave. Just bring trusted brothers along." Qin Lie said.
Although everyone felt that Qin Lie was a bit ruthless, they had no choice but to abandon most of them in order to survive.
Anyway, most of these people are young and strong recruits. Even if they are lost, they can quickly replenish them from other places.
"No!"
Everyone agreed one after another, and strode away from the military tent to prepare for the retreat.
The soldiers of the civilian army are fleeing in large numbers, and the camp of the civilian army is also in chaos.
Qin Lie also had no time to gather his troops now. After gathering 500 elite confidants, he and his generals fled southward while taking advantage of the chaos.
Following the departure of Qin Lie and others, the militia camp became even more chaotic and out of control.
The Guards Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army has been monitoring the camp of the militiamen, facing a large number of militiamen who fled overnight and surrendered, they never refused.
"If this goes on, at most three days, there will be no one in the opposite camp."
Seeing the militia soldiers fleeing and surrendering one after another, Li Changqing, the head of the Guard Banner, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Guards Banner Regiment has 20,000 troops, he is still under pressure in the face of 60,000 militia troops.
So from the beginning, he was not prepared to confront Qin Lie's troops head-to-head, but gave full play to the strength of his long-range troops and cavalry, trying to trap Qin Lie and eliminate their vital forces.
Now that Qin Lie's troops have run out of food, and the army has no fighting spirit, it is only a matter of time before they collapse.
"Master Banner Leader, the scouts reported that hundreds of people from the civilian army fled south."
When Qin Lie took advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement with his cronies, he thought that no one would notice, but he still did not escape the eyes of the Qinghe army scouts.
"Order the cavalry to surround and make sure no one escapes."
"No!"
After only a short while, two thousand cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army swept south with torches like a whirlwind. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
