Chapter 118 Zhuge Weak Treasure
It would be difficult for the New Chu Army to leave, let alone the Black Tiger Village where some of the family's wealth was on their side.
Under Zhang Hu's strong pressure, more than 10,000 people in Heihu Village dragged their feet and retreated southward. Unlike the New Chu Army, which had been punished by Weak Bao and moved resolutely, the people in Heihu Village had different opinions on this southward retreat.
There are complaints.
Many people even bluntly said that they wanted to completely wipe out the invading Yan army, which made Zhang Hu feel very upset. He also somewhat understood why Fan Ziruo wanted to establish a new Chu army with strict systems.
Although part of the Black Tiger Village is composed of the old troops of the Chu family who broke away from the Qi Army, most of the people in the village still belong to the role of green forest heroes. These people, not to mention their armor, even their weapons cannot be unified. Some
They use knives, some use swords, and some use sticks, whatever comes their way. They all have some skill in their hands, but there is no coordination between them.
Zhang Hu didn't need to think too much. If these people were attacked by the Yan army's heavy armored cavalry, they would be killed one after another.
Zhang Hu, He Yunxiao and others rode at the front of the team.
From time to time, a sentry came over and said, "Reporting to the boss, no new Chu family troops were found in the front. However, there are traces of marching."
"How far forward did you search?" Zhang Hu asked.
"Fifty miles."
Zhang Hu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart trembled. The marching speed of the new Chu army far exceeded his expectations.
Qi State does not have a mechanized army. The so-called march relies entirely on soldiers running on two legs. To a certain extent, the faster the marching speed of the troops, the higher the combat effectiveness. Because the marching speed not only reflects the personal qualities of the soldiers, but also the military
cohesion and execution.
"Zhou Ping, tell the leaders to hurry up," Zhang Hu said.
After Zhou Ping accepted the order, he returned soon.
"Brother..."
"What's wrong?"
"I asked the leaders to speed up, but they said they couldn't speed up."
Zhang Hu was stunned, "Why? The Yan army is coming to kill them soon, don't they know?"
Zhou Ping smiled bitterly and said: "That's what I said too. Who would have thought that they were talking to themselves and said, 'I have my own military intelligence here'."
He Yunxiao tried hard to hold back his laughter.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Hu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Lord He!" Xiao Bao's scouts rushed over with their kits in hand.
"Master He, Mr. Fan gave you the tips bag. She asked you to open it in the order of red, green and blue every time you encounter difficulties."
He Yunxiao looked strange when he took the kit, and he felt like he was Zhao Yun.
"Did she say what kind of situation is considered difficult?" He Yunxiao asked the little scout.
"Return to your lord, Mr. Fan didn't say anything."
He Yunxiao waved his hand, indicating that the scout was okay.
At present, the marching speed of Black Tiger Village cannot be increased, and I don't know whether it is difficult or not.
Before He Yunxiao could react, another scout came to report, this time not looking for him, but looking for Zhang Hu.
"Master! Oh no! The Yan army is less than thirty miles away from me!"
"What!? Have you seen their formation clearly?" Zhang Hu's expression changed.
"Hold the flag with the word 'Yan' on the black background, and it's all black. When I saw it, I hurriedly came to report it!"
He Yunxiao encountered the Yan Army once. The so-called "black and overwhelming" situation probably refers to the Yan Army's heavy armored cavalry wearing thick black armor.
As the vanguard general of the Chu army, Zhang Hu had fought against the Yan army many times, so he could naturally tell where the Yan army was coming from.
He said with a gloomy face: "I understand. Zhou Ping, please inform the leaders again and tell them that the Yan army has arrived. If you don't run away quickly, you will definitely die!"
Zhou Ping: "Okay!"
Previously, Heihuzhai's march was slow, and He Yunxiao thought that this might not necessarily be considered "difficult", but now that the Yan army is pursuing them from behind, it must be considered "difficult". It is not even just "difficult", but "difficult".
"Deadly"!
Without saying a word, He Yunxiao quickly opened the weak treasure's first red tip bag.
There was a note in the kit, and it read: Those who gather together die, those who disperse live. The woods are not conducive to the cavalry's march, and the slow-moving ones can be dispersed into the woods, waiting for an opportunity to meet again.
Time is life, He Yunxiao handed the note to Zhang Hu without saying a word.
Some weaklings were inconvenient to say it, but He Yunxiao said directly: "Uncle Zhang, there are some brothers who are disobedient to the command, let them go. Black Tiger Village goes south and leaves the original territory. Will there be any supplies for a while?
Supplement: If you bring too many people, you won’t be able to feed them.”
Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Xiong! You lead the brothers here to speed up! I want to go to the back of the team to see for myself. If there is any emergency, you listen to He Yunxiao!"
"Brother, I want to go together!"
"Military orders are like mountains and are not to be trifled with. You go with He Yunxiao."
With Zhang Xiong's size, it would be too difficult for the horse to ride a horse. He usually runs or rides in a multi-horse chariot.
Zhang Xiong turned to look at Zhang Hu's leaving figure, and then glanced at He Yunxiao on horseback.
"What kind of kung fu do you practice?" Zhang Xiong asked.
He Yunxiao touched his head and said, "It's just ordinary internal martial arts."
"Then why are you stronger than me?"
"Aren't you injured?"
Zhang Xiong was speechless. He was indeed injured by Han Yue, but even so, He Yunxiao shouldn't be able to withstand it.
"After I recover from my injury, let's test our strength again," Zhang Xiong said again.
Even Brother Chu can't compare... You want to show off to me? Young man, you don't even know who I am? Can that give you a chance to show off?
He Yunxiao decisively refused to give Zhang Xiong a chance to show off, and said: "No more competition, you are awesome, I will admit defeat."
Zhang Xiong:......
After getting rid of some of the disobedient little leaders, the marching speed of the people in Black Tiger Village was obviously accelerated. But after all, two legs could not outrun four legs, and the distance between Black Tiger Village and Yan Army continued to shorten.
Zhang Hu looked at He Yunxiao and said, "Nephew He Xian, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while."
He Yunxiao said without even thinking: "Uncle Zhang, those little leaders were able to hide in the mountains because they were small and were not the targets of the Yan army. Even if our large group of people entered the mountains, they would still be captured by the Yan army."
The army caught up."
"What should we do?"
He Yunxiao: I can’t even come. Wouldn’t it be over if you left earlier?
When faced with difficulties again, He Yunxiao opened the weak treasure's bag of tricks again.
On it, Xiaobao wrote in beautiful small regular script: Throwing away the helmet and removing the armor, cutting down the trees, so the formation of suspicion was established.
He Yunxiao didn't have time to think too much, so he handed the small note from the weak treasure to Zhang Hu and asked him to do it immediately.
…
The five thousand heavily armored cavalry of the Yan army hurried forward.
The horse's hooves hit the road tirelessly, making a frightening crackling sound.
"General! Look at the weapons all over the ground. The Qi army is already panicking and has no choice but to choose its route!"
The general headed by the Yan army was not as excited as the deputy general. He had a deep look on his face. After careful observation, he stopped the charging beast.
"Stop first."
"General! We are almost catching up! Moreover, the Qi army has been defeated. We only need to continue the pursuit."
General Yan got off his horse and walked to a chopped tree on the roadside. Such chopped trees can be found everywhere.
He touched the broken part of the tree. It was smooth and tender, and it looked like it had just been chopped with a sharp weapon.
The general of Yan State looked solemn and said: "The weapons on the ground are not fake, and the trees chopped down by sharp weapons are not fake either. Chang Wu, what do you think?"
"Trees can be used as traps. Is there a trick ahead? Is it their deliberate strategy to lure the enemy away by discarding their weapons?"
General Yan thought for a while, mounted his horse and said, "You have to step on the trap to find out if there is a trap. If you retreat without a fight, you and I won't be able to survive. Mount your horse, let's continue chasing!"
