After kicking down someone else's ginseng fruit, in the middle of the night, Sha Monk was carrying the load, Bajie was holding the horse, and Wukong was tiptoeing in front, looking around...
The moonlight in the sky was obscured by clouds. The night wind blew through the corner of the city, making a gentle whistle. From time to time, the howling of wild wolves came from outside the city. The north gate of Louviers City was opened silently. Fang Ge and others were like Tang Monk and his disciples who escaped in the night. Some were holding horses, some were carrying boats, some were carrying injured comrades, and some were in front. Exploring the road, with some standing guard with guns on both sides, the group rushed out of the north gate of Louviers City carefully but quickly.
The city of Louviers is located on the south bank of the Seine River, and the north gate is only a hundred meters away from the river bank. This is why Van Lit did not launch an attack from the north gate during the day, because it was too close to the river and it was difficult to advance or retreat.
"Be gentle, be gentle, hurry up!" Fang Ge looked forward and backward, urging softly.
The dull sound of horse hooves came from far away from the east of the city. The horses' hooves were obviously wrapped in cloth, which was why the sound was so light and muffled. This made everyone's hearts twitch, and everyone couldn't help but pray secretly, hoping that The enemy's reconnaissance cavalry should not come this way;
Seventeen injured comrades were also carried on the stretcher. In this case, it would be tragic if they were discovered by the enemy.
But God will not always favor you. The enemy's reconnaissance team finally came here, and it approached very quickly. The soldiers on the right who were on guard had their guns drawn. Because the night was dark, the enemy could not be seen, but the muzzles of the guns were pointed in the direction of the sound of hooves.
Fang Ge lowered his voice and said urgently: "Put down your guns, put down your guns, use bows and arrows..."
Several soldiers immediately put their guns on their backs, took off their bows and arrows, and rushed forward. The movement was quick and silent, and the rabbit disappeared into the night ahead in the blink of an eye.
After a while, the gentle sound of a bowstring was heard dozens of steps away, and then a scream was heard. In this silent night, this scream seemed particularly harsh;
Fang Ge couldn't help but cursed secretly, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it. The enemy was riding a horse and it was impossible for you to wipe your throat with a knife. Shooting with a bow and arrow, even if one arrow is fatal, it will inevitably cause screams.
"Quick, run, run!"
At this time, they didn't care much anymore, and everyone speeded up and ran towards the river. A soldier carrying a boat accidentally fell down and the boat hit the ground. There was another loud noise.
"Hurry up, hurry up..." Fang Ge was like an ant on a hot pot, his heart clenched in anxiety.
A few miles away, the enemy's camp was already ablaze with fire. The enemy reconnaissance cavalry patrolling around the city of Louviers also ran toward the place where the screams came from.
The enemies are all cavalry and move quickly. Once they are attacked by the enemy, they will be rushed over in time. The consequences could be disastrous.
Fortunately, the North Gate is only a hundred meters away from the Sevi River, and there is a pier on the river. It was not the kind of river beach full of silt. Small boats were quickly put into the water, and the seriously wounded and ammunition were put on the boats. Everyone cooperated in pairs and raced against time. Each small boat quickly left the shore and sailed to the other side of the Seine. .
Fang Ge and the others are Marines. They are very good at water, and their swimming skills are even better. There are not many boats, only enough to carry the wounded. The uninjured Marines can either hold a wooden board, hold a water can, or Holding skin bags or leading horses, they rushed into the dark river one after another and swam hard to the other side. For a while, there were bursts of rushing water in the river...
From the side of the French camp, a large swath of fire approached amidst the rumble of hoofbeats. But when Fanlett led his troops to rush to the river, Fang Ge and the others had already swam to the other side, and the unwilling French troops were waiting on the bank. While firing guns, there was no trace of the Qin army on the dark night river.
"Cross the river as soon as possible. They can't run far. We must catch up with them..." Fan Lite was very upset. In the battle at Louviers City, he lost more than 400 people. If the Qin people were allowed to escape like this, , then it would be better to just hit the wall and die.
It's just that he led an army, not many who knew water, and he also had war horses. He had to find a boat to cross the river. It was three o'clock in the middle of the night. It was impossible for the Qin army to still keep the boats in Luwei City. Where could they find a boat to ferry thousands of people at once? Horses and men crossing the river
"Let's go to Catmon Town and find a boat to cross the river. Chase him!"
Fan Lite roared and led thousands of cavalry to the town of Catmon upstream. Catmon Town was about fifty miles away from Kavier City. Only there could it be possible to find boats that could carry thousands of cavalry across the river.
Fan Lite led his troops to march through the night, and when they arrived at the town of Catmon, it was already dawn. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to collect ships. Since there were not enough big ships, he also removed the door panels in the town and connected some small ships into a large platform. After all this busy work, it was almost noon, and more than three thousand cavalry began to cross the river. By the time everyone crossed the north bank of the Seine, it was already evening.
Fan Lite was worried that the Qin envoy would escape far away, so he let the soldiers eat dry bread in a hurry, then set off overnight, chasing downstream along the north bank of the Seine River with torches.
Along the way, he sent out reconnaissance cavalry many times to inquire about the whereabouts of the Qin delegation, and at the same time ordered the French troops in surrounding towns to look for it together.
However, the strange thing was that until he ran to the north bank of Louviers in the middle of the night, he still found no trace of the Qin delegation;
Fan Lite did not believe in evil, so he asked the nearby French people one by one, and even whipped them, but they couldn't find out the reason. All the people had only one answer, and no Qin delegation was seen at all.
Fan Lite was a little dumbfounded. If one or a few people said this, he could also suspect that they were the Fronde, deliberately covering up the whereabouts of the Qin delegation to cause trouble for themselves. But even the women and children, under coercion, said they had not seen it. , then it seems that it is not a lie.
What's going on? Could the Qin delegation disappear out of thin air
"Chase, keep chasing downstream!" Full of suspicion and uncertainty, Fan Lit led the cavalry to continue chasing downstream along the north bank of the Seine. More scouts were sent along the way, but at noon the next day, Qin The Chinese delegation is still flying in the sky, not even a shadow can be found;
Calculating the distance, the Qin army was all infantry, and they also carried wounded soldiers. They could travel fifty or sixty miles a day, which was already the limit. But now, after chasing down the north bank for hundreds of miles, I still found no trace of the Qin delegation. Could it be that I am pursuing the wrong direction
Could it be that the Qin delegation did not follow the Seine River to the west? How is this possible? They can only escape by going down the river to Le Havre. If they go north... This is France. With just their few people and a large number of officials, Going north will only get farther and farther away from Le Havre. Don't they want to escape
Numerous questions were swirling in Fan Lite's mind, making him confused. He also found a few subordinates to discuss the matter. Everyone, like him, felt it was unbelievable.
In the end, Fan Lite decided to detach a thousand men and horses to pursue northward, and even sent five hundred men back to investigate. He was worried that he had pursued too fast and had gone too far. This is not impossible. Maybe the Qin delegation did not go far after crossing the river. Instead, they hid somewhere under the night. They just couldn't find it for a while, so it is necessary to send someone back to look for it. of.
Fan Lite himself took about two thousand men and horses, and continued to pursue the lower reaches of the Seine River. He figured out that it didn't matter even if the Qin delegation could not be found for the time being, as long as he controlled the four Qin ships in Le Havre Port. Battleships, no matter how the Qin delegation escapes, it will be difficult to escape from France.
Where did Fang Ge and the others hide suddenly? In fact, Fan Li Mu was simply misled by their action of crossing the river. Fan Ge and others did not really cross the other side to escape. That night, under the cover of darkness, they crossed to the middle of the Seine River and went down the river. They saw After the French army left with torches, they swam back to the south bank.
Fan Lite couldn't think of anything for a moment, thinking that they had crossed the river to the north bank. In this case, how could you find Fang Ge and his group on the north bank.
There is no way, sometimes once people get into trouble, they really can't get out for a while.
After Fango and the others returned to the south bank, they tried their best to cover up their whereabouts and ran towards Le Havre. When they arrived at the town of Antroup, more than a hundred miles away from Louviers, they heard thick smoke rising from the town in the distance. Thick black smoke, and the faint sound of fighting could be heard in the wind.
Li Pan said in surprise: "Look, everyone, is General Pang coming to meet us?"
Li Pan's roar lifted everyone's spirits. It was difficult to describe in words the feeling of being able to expect reinforcements in this foreign country. Everyone couldn't help but want to cry... .
