Chapter 12 Boy (Twelve)

The two teams worked together and soon, they completely locked in the victory. They cut off more than 2,000 Youzhou troops ambushed in Taojiazhuang and captured more than half of them, while the rest were allowed to escape into the ice and snow.

Immediately, the heroes of Taihang Mountain and the brave men of Lijiazhai Township took a break and left a hundred people to guard the camp. The rest of the army embarked on the journey of chasing the enemy.

Along the way, there were constant high fever and exhausted Youzhou soldiers caught up with everyone, but they had no time to cut and kill. They left a portion of dry food and let them choose to return to Taojiazhuang as prisoners, or stay in the snow and were frozen to death!

Even so, everyone chased after more than twenty miles, but still failed to bite the tail of the Youzhou Army. Han Kuangmei won at least a whole morning of retreat by breaking her tail twice. However, the morale of the heroes of the village and the heroes of Taihang Mountain were strong, and their physical strength was limited. As they chased, their pace gradually slowed down.

"Don't, stop chasing. Taojiazhuang has a lot of food and supplies, enough, enough for our two families to use it for a while!" Hu Yancong was so angry that he rode the steel whip on the ground and loudly suggested to Zheng Ziming.

"Military arts, military arts clouds, the last chasing of the enemy. No one can run away. If you chase after him, you may be bitten by the enemy!" Hu Yanyun followed his father, looking at the ground, and replenished with a red face.

Although her voice was not loud, she was just the key point. As the physical strength of the township heroes and Taihang heroes decreased, their advantage over the enemy would quickly shrink. If Han Kuangxian was really defeated and led the team to come forward to wait for work, the result would be difficult to predict.

"Previous, inspector. Along the way, we have seen at least 4,000 Youzhou soldiers. If they all return to Taojiazhuang, I am worried that the brothers who stayed behind will not be able to suppress them!" Tao Dachun has always been cautious, fearing that Zheng Ziming would be dazed by the previous victory, so he ran forward and lowered his voice to remind him.

This is another trouble that Zheng Ziming had to consider. Although all the patients who were left on the road by Han Kuangmei had high fevers, the cold was not a fatal disease after all. If they suddenly became ill after returning to Taojiazhuang, the hundreds of brothers who stayed in the village might not be able to cope with it.

"Party, inspector, brothers, brothers can't run!" Li Shuncong was unwilling to fall behind others, so he followed Zheng Ziming and whispered to join in the fun.

Zheng Ziming had always heard the advice from others. He found that the friendly army and the brothers around him had lost interest in continuing to pursue the enemy, so he decided to stop when he saw the opportunity. He smiled and nodded decisively. "Then let go, everyone will withdraw their troops and come to Taojiazhuang!"

"As for the order!" Hu Yancong, Tao Dachun, Li Shuner and others agreed loudly, while raising their sleeves to wipe their sweat. In a blink of an eye, they all turned into big faces in the shadow puppet.

Only Tao Sanchun was still chasing her. She frowned and let out a low cold snorted. However, before she could speak, Zheng Ziming suddenly turned around and smiled and ordered, "Dachun, Shunzi, brothers, I will give it to you two. I will pick fifty people who can support their physical strength and continue chasing forward for a while. When I figure out where Han Kuangmei went, I will come back to meet everyone!"

"You, you're desperate!" Hu Yancong immediately shouted, waving his arms, trying to step forward to stop him.

"I'll go with General Zheng." Hu Yanzan took the lead and blocked his father's way. "I asked myself that my skills are still acceptable. When encountering an enemy, even if I can't beat them, at least it will be no problem to retreat without any damage."

"I'll go too!" "I'll go too!" "I'll go too"...

More than 30 strong men jumped out of the team of the township heroes, walked quickly towards Zheng Ziming, and volunteered. The youthful faces made Hu Yancong feel that he was more than ten years older. The words he had originally planned to dissuade him were immediately stuck in his throat and could not say it for a long time.

Tao Sanchun gently grabbed Hu Yanyun and followed the strong men. Some words didn't have to be said at all, actions were the best language.

She originally thought that the other party could not see it, but Hu Yanyun's feeling was far sharper than she thought. Her face turned slightly red, and she also walked forward silently for a few steps, silently with her brother Hu Yanzan, standing shoulder to shoulder.

"You, you...ah!" Hu Yancong suddenly felt a little sour and astringent in his heart. At the same time, a little gentleness surged. "You, don't worry! I'm here in Taojiazhuang. Remember not to show off. After discovering the whereabouts of the enemy, we immediately retreated. We have won enough of this battle, so there is no need to add anything to it!"

"In this way, I will have to ask General Huyan!" At this moment, Zheng Ziming seemed to have no idea what kind of politeness was. He bowed to him from afar through the crowd. Then, he ordered more than a dozen local heroes who had performed excellently in training, and gathered up fifty of his brothers under his command, and took everyone away at lightning.

"Grandma, I..." Hu Yancong didn't expect that the other party would leave and couldn't help protesting loudly. However, looking at the young backs, the protests finally made a low promise. "Forget it! I owe you what I owe you. I will guard the prisoners and baggage for you. Grandma, I'm just such a daughter..."

Those young backs disappeared at the bends of the mountain road, leaving only a mass of smoke evaporated from sweat, surrounding them and never dissipating for a long time.

The wind is still very cold, but spring is coming, and the water vapor emits a dreamy color in the sun.

"Hu——" Han Kuangmei sprayed a colorful smoke into the sky, and then suddenly turned around, "Stop, stop and rectify the team, bury the pot and make rice! Lu Xu, take a few people to explore the way forward. Linghu Chu, take a personal soldier from the capital and gather the team behind. Tell brothers, don't be discouraged, we lost today, I will bring you everyone to repay it sooner or later!"

"Yes!" The two generals who were named after the two agreed, and then dragged their tired bodies to perform the task.

The other generals spread along the sides of the mountain road, looking for their own direct corps, chopping wood, setting pots, making fires, and cooking. As much as possible, fill the stomachs of most people in the team before the next battle comes.

There was only a few civil servants who had nothing to do. They retracted their necks into the marten cloak, and whispered together with worry. After discussing for a while, they suddenly nodded to each other and walked towards Han Kuangmei together.

"Why, you guys have something to do?" Han Kuangmei had already seen the actions of the staff, frowned, and asked first.

"No, no!" The staff members stopped and looked at each other, and no one was willing to take the lead. After hesitating for a while, Han Zhuo, the first to join the army, could not bear it, and bowed to salute, "Report to the commander, the general, the humble one, that our army has not yet escaped from danger. At this moment, it is not appropriate to stop and rest at this moment!"

"Are you questioning my decision?" Han Kuangmei's eyebrows jumped up suddenly, her eyes instantly like a knife.

"No, no, no, this is not what the meaning of humble position is. Humiliar, humble position, humble position, humble position!" Han Zhuo, joined the army, was so scared that he retreated repeatedly, and his forehead instantly broke out in cold sweat, "Humiliar, humble position, humble position. Grand Marshal, humble position really dare not question you. Humiliar just feels that this place is too close to Taojiazhuang, too close!"

"Little bastard, so what if I question it?" Han Kuangmei suddenly curled her lips and smiled, her face instantly filled with sunshine. "You are my husband's army, of course you are qualified to fill in the gaps for me!"

"Hot job, I dare not do it!" Han Zhuo was cold and cold at the other party's cold attitude, causing a chill on his back. He suppressed the fear in his heart and bowed to add, "The general paid a very high price to win two hours of retreat for our army. This place is away from Dingzhou..."
