Moments before dawn, illuminated by the moonlight, the main force of the army highlighted the coalition camp.
From a tactical point of view, the breakout operation is of course far from over. In fact, it seems to be the case because as far as the eye can see under the moonlight, countless pursuers are rushing in and out, pouring out of the coalition camp like a dark tide.
Among them are the Youzhou Army, the Hejian Army, the miscellaneous armies from the northwest counties, and of course the Taiyuan Army. It seems that except for the Dongdu Army on the other side, which no one cares about, almost all the coalition forces are involved in this pursuit.
And wholeheartedly, they were either riding horses, walking, shouting, or shouting, and some even played drums, but they were all dressed up in Hoge, and almost with some kind of passion, they chased the army rushing north and the surrounding directions.
past.
All the way north! To the northwest!
However, looking at this almost spectacular scene, the British Gong Bai Hengqiu, who was standing on a lookout outside the Youzhou Army Camp, turned pale.
Without him, the coalition commander knew very well that after leaving the camp, not only the army would be out of control, but most of the coalition forces would also be completely out of his control and military orders. In other words, these people were both chasing the army and
Breaking away from yourself!
The main force of the general cannot be defeated. The Eastern Capital has been stolen again, and Kansai must rush over. It is natural for the heroes of Hebei to take the opportunity to escape. However, a decent ending is still different from this kind of disintegration.
If we clean up the west and then have a dispute with Hebei in the future, it is likely that this difference will lead to different difficulties and even different results.
Not to mention, these coalition forces who seemed to be pursuing but were actually fleeing greatly hindered the actual pursuit of troops, which in turn provided de facto protection for the troops.
At this moment, Bai Hengqiu caught a glimpse of a golden light flashing past, and his heart moved slightly, but without hesitation, it came first and landed behind a camp gate.
This person was none other than Luo Shu, the livid-faced general manager of Youzhou. He was reining in his horse under the fence, talking to his confidant Bai Xiangui. He seemed to be a little out of control. When he saw Bai Hengqiu suddenly flashing in front of him, he was even more shocked.
startle.
Not to mention that, just as Bai Hengqiu arrived, another golden light flashed by, but it was Xue Changxiong who arrived and saw this situation. Luo Shu was startled at first, then turned pale, lowered his head and dismounted quietly.
"Mr. Bai!" In the night wind, under the firelight and moonlight, Xue Changxiong spoke first to Bai Hengqiu, who was standing between him and Luo Shu. "I have asked the main force to go all the way north, seize the northern city, and lay out the defense line.
To prevent them from turning around, I have another three thousand soldiers with me in preparation for pursuit. But now, what should I do if the Youzhou army wraps up the thieves and walks together to isolate the rest of the pursuers? "
Bai Hengqiu did not say a word, but looked back at Luo Shu.
Luo Shu immediately gritted his teeth and saluted, and then said in an anxious tone: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Xue, this is the fault of my subordinates. It's not right for me to know people unclearly. It's because my subordinates have a shallow foundation in Youzhou, so that they have been suppressed by Zhang Xing in the army for a long time."
Several secret traps have been laid. Now there are at least several generals in the Youzhou army who have secretly communicated with the gang. In addition, Feng Gong's subordinates have cooperated internally and externally.
It’s a plan, and they just led the troops to indulge the thief! Now on the surface they are chasing, but in fact they should be protecting the thief as he escapes!"
"Then how should we deal with it?" Xue Changxiong said in a strange tone.
"It's really impossible." Luo Shu faced it bravely. "The sergeants below are basically being held hostage by innocent people. Once they use force, it will only hurt the innocent people. I'm afraid that the thieves will take advantage of the opportunity to escape faster. As for the generals above, I It can only be said that Zhang Gongshen, our subordinate, Qi Ze, the captain of Zhaojun, and Wang Chenkuo are all somewhat suspicious. How about I catch up and deal with Zhang Gongshen personally?"
Xue Changxiong smiled and said nothing, but continued to look at Bai Hengqiu.
Bai Hengqiu sighed quietly, but ignored Luo Shu, and also looked at Xue Changxiong: "Mr. Son, you must do your best and obey fate. Now follow me, and please still follow me."
"Okay." Xue Changxiong nodded.
After finishing speaking, Xue Changxiong's golden light appeared first, followed by Bai Hengqiu's silver light.
As soon as the two left, Luo Shu, regardless of the sweat on his face, got on his horse in a hurry and urged: "Let's go! Let's go first!"
Bai Xiangui didn't have time to think too much, so they walked out of the camp gate together and rushed towards Wei Wenda's tribe.
After a full quarter of an hour, I chased into Wei Wenda's army and saw Wei Wenda himself. Just then, as if I had been granted amnesty, he responded: "Xue Changxiong just wanted to kill me! It was Bai Hengqiu who saved me!"
Bai Xiangui suddenly woke up and couldn't help but feel scared.
Wei Wenda also quickly comforted him: "Don't panic, manager. Now that I'm here, I'll fight for my life. The three of us plus so many Youzhou brothers may not be able to withstand Xue Changxiong's golden sword!"
"We want to borrow General Wei's prestige!" Luo Shu let out a sigh of relief.
Wei Wenda thought for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Xue Changxiong wanted to kill the manager because Hejian was our enemy in Youzhou. Now that the incident of indulging the army has spread to his ears, he has another excuse. I want to take advantage of this chaos to annex Youzhou. But what does the British Lord mean?"
"Xue Changxiong wants to annex our Youzhou, so the British Lord naturally doesn't want to!" Bai Xiangui explained helplessly.
"Of course it is." Luo Shu couldn't help but sneered. "The British Lord is such a smart man. He must have realized long ago that after tonight, the wind will turn and help will gain the upper hand. Instead, we in Youzhou will help the enemy, so we must protect the enemy." As for Xue Changxiong, I hope that after he returns to Guanxi, Xue Changxiong and his gang will fight to the death and spend their time there."
At this point, the man felt bored, but he quickly greeted him: "Ignore him, since we have escaped with our lives, let's gather our troops along the way and return to Youzhou as quickly as possible!"
Bai Xiangui nodded immediately. Although Wei Wenda still wanted to ask about Zhang Gongshen, he held it back at this time and just organized his team and worked hard to go north.
In this way, the interlude before dawn was quickly overwhelmed by the rolling army, and soon, there was a faint light in the east. But it was only light, because with the arrival of the morning and the appearance of the sun, the moon above the head It was completely dark, and a mist suddenly appeared on the battlefield that had moved to the north.
The mist this time was not a small-scale mist caused by Zhang Xing's ice energy, but a normal celestial phenomenon, the product of the rain in the past few days and the clear weather these days.
This is generally a good thing for the coalition forces, because the clear weather is definitely more favorable for pursuit than the rainy weather of the previous few days. The military itself was worried about the mist yesterday morning. However, it seems that the fog will not last long.
When Bai Hengqiu rolled over and bought some time for the main force of the army, Bai Hengqiu still felt a sense of frustration in his heart.
The coalition coach soon realized that this was not because of the fog, but because he didn't have much hope for today's war and was too lazy to pursue it anymore.
He even knew that for the rest of the army and the coalition forces that broke through, this change in mood occurred earlier, and had already appeared when the army broke through the coalition camp.
At that time, what the entire army saw was hope. The tragic casualties they had just suffered, the fear and suffering during the previous siege, and the hardships they might encounter in the future were all forgotten. Until now, they had just worked hard.
Just move forward!
Everyone in the coalition forces felt a sudden surge of anger in their hearts. It must be known that in the past ten days, although all parties in the coalition forces were infighting and encountered various tactical obstacles, everyone acted on the premise that the coalition forces would overwhelm the army.
According to the assumption, even Bai Hengqiu had no inner worries before tonight. To put it bluntly, as long as the coalition forces are not intrigues and intrigues, how can the war be smooth sailing?
As long as we win in the end
Now, everything is just passing by.
Not to mention, what's going on with the intrigues at the top and at the middle and lower levels? From the perspective of the coalition forces, what happened before was just a good situation where the coalition forces remained united and jointly defeated thieves.
Therefore, knowing that the army rushed out of the camp area, almost everyone in the middle and lower levels of the coalition army was frustrated, and many of the upper levels who had been undecided for a long time made a decision in an instant!
But now, I, who pride myself on being calm and calm, also feel depressed.
“Mr.
"No complaints." Xue Changxiong, who had followed him, smiled. "After all, you took the gamble personally. Although you came back in the end, you still ended up personally. I have nothing to say."
There was no mention of Luo Shu at all.
"Then Mr. Xue, are you worried about the situation after this war?" Bai Hengqiu didn't care, but continued to ask. "I'm not worried either."
"This is strange. We don't mention that the situation in Hebei may be reversed after today. We only talk about the current situation. Since Zhang Xing escaped from the northwest, he will always return to the Bohai Sea and the plains. I'm afraid he will inevitably have to cross the river and Xindu, right?
"
“It’s natural.”
When the time comes, I will be attacked from both sides."
"Since you know, why aren't you worried?" Bai Hengqiu frowned even more when he saw the other party's calmness.
"I have tried my best in everything. The outcome will be God's will, so why worry?" Xue Changxiong remained calm.
"God's will?!" Bai Hengqiu looked at the fog in front of him and shook his head. "What is God's will? Isn't it the human heart?"
"The will of God is naturally the will of the human heart." Unexpectedly, Xue Changxiong did not refute, but looked a little gloomy, and the sound of dense troops marching came from the field in front of them. The sound was a Taiyuan army. "I
He is not as talented and talented as Bai Gong, who is both civil and military, and has laid down many chess pieces early and made many preparations; nor does he have the talent of Zhang Xing, who can be the first to see the overall situation and jump out to fight for the first place in the world." I, Xue Changxiong, am just
He is just a warrior. So, there is some truth. It is only after being beaten and suffering pain that you gradually understand it. How do you smart people know the difficulties of stupid people like us? The situation is obviously very good, but we are just a little proud, or...
If you panic for a moment, you will lose your heart."
"It sounds like Mr. Xue has lost his fighting spirit?" Bai Hengqiu thought thoughtfully, then shook his head. "Mr. Xue, this is actually what I fear most. As soon as I leave, the winds in Hebei will inevitably reverse. Among them, Luo Shu,
Li Ding's position is simple. Even if Luo Shu is the culprit who let go of Zhang Xing today, he will definitely resist to the end when defending Youzhou. This is why I stopped you just now; while Li Ding waits for the situation to stabilize, ten
He will surrender in eighty-nine times, so I transferred his troops and horses away so that I can explain to him after the battle. Therefore, there is only one person I am really worried about now, and that is you, Mr. Xue."
"After Hongshan, I really think that Zhang Xing will become a big thief if he doesn't achieve great things. He is not something that can be treated with ordinary thinking." When it came to this, Xue Changxiong simply said, "After today, the gang will definitely be there.
Hebei is slowly coming back. But no matter what, I will not surrender to the gang, do you believe it or not?"
Bai Hengqiu stared at the other party for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xue Gong is actually a literary cultivator like Huai Tong Gong. He was so stunned by what the other party said on the Red Mountain? So that he became depressed and wanted to avoid fighting.
?But it doesn’t matter, I can trust the character of Jin Dao Xue Da.”
When Xue Changxiong heard the last sentence, he visibly moved. He swallowed back all the words he originally wanted to say. He just shut up and waited for the mist to dissipate, and Han Yingong and his troops were revealed. This army and the people after the mist cleared.
Sunshine will be Bai Hengqiu's last two chess pieces.
Of course, in the mist, not everyone has enough acceleration means like these two, and except for these two people, all the troops on both sides have completely separated from the original battlefield. Almost everyone is continuing to run hard. They may
It was based on the architectural orientation of cities and villages, or the direction of Tianlong, or following the established official roads. No one dared to stop on this road.
"General Han." Liu Yangji, who was standing on a field ridge in the mist, looked livid. He turned on his horse and looked at General Han Yingong beside him. "In this situation, if we lose the road, who will be responsible? In the beginning, it was
You asked us to go to the camp, but you only asked us to go north, and kept changing directions along the way. If we hadn't just passed a village, we wouldn't have known where we were!"
"No, if the fog doesn't last, it will be bright soon." Han Yingong smiled and reassured. "And the intelligence just became clear. The army came out from the northwest. I guess it is going to Daluze in Xiangguo County. This is actually a good thing.
, they don’t know our troops, we just have to rush to Pingxiang to set up defenses before them. When the time comes, even if they have several masters blocking them in front and pursuing troops behind, they will not dare to
If you resist hard, you can leave many soldiers and horses behind. Isn't this the original intention of Duke Bai?"
"But if the calculation is wrong, Hebei is so big and the fields are vast, so who does it matter if they didn't go to Dalu Ze?!" When Liu Yangji heard this, he couldn't hold back his anger.
"Of course it's mine." Han Yingong was not afraid at all. "Didn't Duke Bai say that? If I can't do my best in this battle, he will kill me with his own hands."
At this point, there was actually some anger: "Go to Pingxiang! My life is at stake here, let's gamble! If we go directly to the east to pursue and search, we will lose the opportunity in the fog, or be blocked by the rebel army, and we will not find it.
Only then will Mr. Bai really hate me!"
Han Yingong was furious, and the surrounding officers and soldiers were all awe-inspiring. On the road beside him, eight thousand elite soldiers who had originally been brought back from Xuzhou were following one after another, just following his military orders and heading north.
Seeing this situation, Liu Yangji was really powerless, so he could only reach out and grab the reins of the opponent's horse, and proposed a plan: "Let's divide the troops!"
"What?" Han Yingong was surprised for a moment.
"Split the troops!" Liu Yangji immediately gave his plan. "The entire army of eight thousand is divided into two parts. One part should go as far north as possible and follow your route to Pingxiang to intercept; the other part should follow me and go east now."
, don’t waste time looking for the thieves.”
"What if after dividing the troops, I block the opponent in the north and the thieves come but can't resist?" Han Yingong reacted and became more angry. "Whose fault is it?"
"Count it on me!" Liu Yangji said proudly. "There are so many military clerks and guards here who have heard it with their own ears. How can we not count them? And General Han, I need to make it clear to you. Bai Gong's original words were, if you don't obey the military order,
, I just took action to kill you personally, it’s not because I couldn’t do my best or make meritorious deeds!”
Han Yingong fell silent immediately, and the surrounding officers were also in a panic. Liu Yangji just urged.
In fact, the logic behind this temporary game on the battlefield is very simple. Han Yingong chose to go around and block the attack. On the one hand, he really felt that since Zhang Xing escaped from the northwest entrance, he would definitely go to Dalu Ze. On the other hand, he also wanted to temporarily stay away from Bai in this chaotic situation.
The purpose of Hengqiu and the Taiyuan Army was to preserve their strength and gain the necessary escape space; while Liu Yangji's idea was much simpler. He just wanted to promote this new force to quickly engage the army to achieve the purpose of killing, and at the same time ensure that this force
The horse is within Bai Hengqiu's direct control and will not make any mistakes.
To be fair, when things have reached this point, both sides are actually seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but it is difficult to say whose strategy is correct and whose strategy is wrong. Because at this time, the battlefield is chaotic and there is really a fog of war.
Even Xue Changxiong and Bai Hengqiu cannot control the army, and no one knows the situation.
Which direction will the trend develop and whose choice can really make a difference?
Let alone them?
Seeing that the two sides could not quickly reach mutual trust under the rapid development of the situation, Liu Yangji simply threatened the army leader in the last way he wanted to see - splitting up the troops.
"Okay!" Han Yingong suddenly spoke and made a promise. "Then divide the troops!"
At this time, Liu Yangji was dumbfounded, and then became anxious. He actually refuted his own suggestion: "After dividing the troops, if we bump into the thief, we can't stop him and make a profit. So what if he escapes? And it's too far to go to Pingxiang."
Some. I said it before when the report said that the thief had escaped. If the thief escaped, how far can he escape when it gets dark? As long as we try to march slightly to the northeast, you can't bear it!" ??
"Of course I can't bear it!" Han Yingong was actually not angry. "Didn't you tell me that if I couldn't stop the thief, the British Lord would let me die without a burial place? My life is at stake, and I naturally want to save my life! No matter what, I can't stop the thief.
Find Zhang Xing and engage in battle before we talk about anything else! So, just follow your instructions and divide the troops!"
Liu Yangji had no choice but to persuade him in turn, but how could someone like Han Yingong be persuaded? And Liu Yangji couldn't lower his face and surrendered to the opponent in public. So, his 8,000 men were divided into two, and one part followed Han Yingong.
They were intercepted on the way to Pingxiang in the north, and some of them followed Liu Yangji to the northeast in the direction of the battlefield.
On the other side, at the east end of the battlefield, just when Han bowed and Liu Yangji divided his troops, two stray soldiers and horses collided with each other in the mist.
It was not Sun Shunde and Zheng Shanye from the south bank. They had known about each other's existence and were working together to search for the whereabouts of Xu Shiying and his subordinates. In fact, the person who encountered an unexpected army was none other than the one who had just sent the armor
, the long soldiers were thrown into the Qingzhang River, and then Xu Shiying, Cheng Zhili, and the battalion leader they led with more than a thousand people left came over.
It was precisely because they had just crossed the river and had no armor or soldiers that they could not help but feel their hearts sinking when they heard the dense sounds of horse hooves in the mist while resting under the river embankment.
To put it bluntly, if the fog disappeared, Xu and Cheng could still use their cultivation to capture thieves and kings, and frighten the other side's soldiers. However, in the fog, these soldiers who had just crossed the river without their armor and long soldiers would inevitably fight in chaos.
There will be heavy casualties.
However, as the cavalry group quickly approached, the two leaders with the highest cultivation level instantly sensed an opportunity based on their cultivation level - the opponent was menacing, but it was obvious that they were a group of defeated soldiers, many of them were injured, and their armor was messy
."who?"
Cheng Dalang did not hesitate, used his cultivation skills, jumped up high, and then shouted from afar in the air, "Tell me your origin!"
"Who are you?"
When the soldiers and horses saw someone who was at least an expert in condensing pills suddenly appeared, and there was obviously a commotion of soldiers and horses behind them, as if there was a group of soldiers and horses here, they immediately stopped, and the leader of them looked even more nervous.
Cheng Dalang is such a sophisticated man. When he saw this scene, he knew that the matter was done. He immediately approached and said: "I am the son-in-law of the Wucheng Xiaofang of the Cui family in Qinghe. I have been ordered to lead my clan troops to help in the battle! Which army are you from?"
Youzhou Army or Hejian Army?"
At this time, there was obviously a commotion on the other side, but there was no answer.
Cheng Dalang's heart moved slightly, and he was about to go forward. Suddenly he was overjoyed, but he actually recognized some of the knights. Then he immediately woke up and wanted to say hello. When the knights saw each other approaching, they seemed to recognize who was coming.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and all of them retreated.
Cheng Dalang was puzzled at first, but he immediately realized something and turned back to look at Xu Dalang so that he could come forward to speak. At this moment, the knight who had spoken before suddenly became silent and stabbed directly with a spear.
Cheng Dalang was caught off guard, but he didn't resist. He didn't even use the energy to protect his body, and rolled directly backwards. The clinker and several knights behind him came forward together, all poking at him. Cheng Zhili was frightened, and even more helpless.
He could only jump up and dodge.
At this time, Xu Da, who also realized something, quickly said: "I am Xu Shiying! Cheng Dalang was ordered to come to support. Everyone I met on the road put down their weapons. Are you separated from Leader Zhou?!"
The opposing cavalry was obviously shocked, but still hesitant.
It was Xu Shiying who took the initiative to step forward, explained the situation, and brought a few knights to see the troops and horses of the headquarters that had just crossed the river, and then the doubts were resolved.
Then, they carried the injured and unconscious Zhou Xingfan from the net bag at the back and asked Xu Shiying to check the injury. Seeing Xu Dalang take off the armor of Xiao Zhou leader and enter the immortal energy, these people bowed to their old boss Cheng Zhili.
apologize.
Cheng Zhili quickly helped these former subordinates up: "Don't you know my cultivation level? You know you will die, but you still come to poke me?"
Several knights had no choice but to bow their heads in embarrassment.
Cheng Zhili felt distressed and a little ashamed when he saw this, so he could only ignore the matter and hurried to check on the cavalry. The purpose was to pick out the wounded and reorganize the troops.
After a while, as the fog was about to dissipate, Xu Shiying's longevity energy finally revived Zhou Xingfan. The three leaders gathered to discuss the next move.
"Xiao Zhou was seriously injured and had to be sent to the rear quickly to settle down." Xu Shiying spoke concisely and pointed to Zhou Xingfan, who had his eyes closed and gritted his teeth, and first said a key question.
Zhou Xingfan tried his best to open his eyes and glanced at the two people in front of him, but he just gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"The plain is too far away, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the other side of the river. According to them, there are also Hejian troops in the west and north." Cheng Dalang spoke immediately, as if he had a bold accusation. "So, we will send the Zhou leader away.
How about going to Qinghe in the east? I am the real son-in-law of the Cui family in Qinghe, and there are people I know there. I just gave it to them secretly, so that they can raise Leader Zhou. Someone should know who he is, and Leader Zhou is also cooperating with our troops.
Continue to the northwest to find the chief."
"It's still too risky. There is a grandmaster in Qinghe, and he is really going to be discovered. Life and death depend on his thoughts." Xu Shiying also immediately proposed a plan. "Let's wait for a while, and in the morning, all the troops will be killed."
How about water crossing the south bank?”
Cheng Zhili was puzzled for a moment.
"There are tens of thousands of troops on the south bank. If they can't find us, they will definitely not stay for more than a thousand of us. Let's take the opportunity to turn back. Not only can we send the leader of Xiao Zhou back, but the whole army can return to the plains for preparation." At this point, Xu Dalang
A sigh. "This is also forced by the situation. My battalion has no armor and equipment, the cavalry battalion is in shambles, and everyone is injured. Any troop encountered on the north bank will die without a burial place."
Cheng Zhili hesitated for a moment, but tried his best to say: "We went to the armor, and we can pretend to be Cui's reinforcements. We also gathered the wounded, so we may not be able to rescue the chief."
"But what about leader Xiao Zhou?" Xu Dalang pointed at Zhou Xingfan who closed his eyes again and said nothing.
At this time, Zhou Xingfan opened his eyes for the second time and gave his reply: "I will follow Xu Dalang so that Xu Dalang's longevity energy is better than any injection! Without Xu Dalang, I'm afraid I will die immediately!"
Xu Shiying, who was holding the Jinglong Sword, was stunned for a moment.
"As for the troops, just follow Chief Cheng's wishes. Let's pretend to be Cui's reinforcements and go northwest to find the chief!" Xiao Zhou continued. "It just so happened that I was injured, but Chief Cheng was the one who
The old leader of the Jiaqi Battalion will lead them more efficiently!"
Cheng Dalang was greatly moved, while Xu Dalang's heart sank, but he did not say a word.
"Then it's settled!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhou directly gave an order to the two senior leaders. "Three of us, two of them are going to the northwest to look for Brother Zhang, so naturally they will look for Brother Zhang; as for me,
I make the decision on my own life! In this situation, I am not afraid of losing my life. I am just afraid that the work I have done for so many years will be fruitless at this time!"
Hearing this, Cheng Dalang no longer hesitated and nodded immediately: "That's exactly what it should be!"
The officers, soldiers, clerks, generals and guards sitting around were all excited.
Unexpectedly, this time, Xu Dalang was not as helpless as last night. In other words, he gradually accepted his fate because he gradually realized that he had been forced to change his stance since the war started.
In fact, it's not some kind of coincidence, but Zhang Xing's man really deceived some people and let them risk their lives for his unreasonable and no-real interests. Because he was among these people, he was coerced.
Living.
Not only that, if Xu Dalang felt any strange emotion at this time, it was fear.
Because he discovered that this kind of coercion is contagious. In fact, Cheng Dalang was also coerced, by his old subordinates and Xiao Zhou, and now they are coercing Xu Dalang!
This really makes me feel powerless, but I can only follow them and move with the camera.
There is no way, there is really no way, Xu Dalang's work level is still good, even Cheng Dalang knows not to surrender, knows not to lose his position in front of his old troops, let alone him?
Thinking of this, Xu Dalang almost realized something and couldn't help but glance at the leader of his bodyguard. This guy was silent now, but he had said a lot before.
However, this man who was selling cooking cakes on the street back then, from his interests to his ideals and then to his survival, were he not one with himself? No one would believe that he was not one, not even Xu Shiying.
So, aren’t this person’s various reminders sincerely thinking about Xu Dalang? So, could some of this person’s words be said for him?
Are those words and thoughts your own?
Smart people just think a lot. For example, Xiao Zhou, after finishing speaking, when he saw the consensus, he closed his eyes and said nothing.
And in a moment, as the fog completely dissipated, the morning sun shone down, shining the land of Hebei with a dazzling light, and even the two moons were hidden. The soldiers and horses, who had made a good discussion, ate dry food and drank river water, and then
The wounded were loaded onto their horses, then tightened their Liuhe boots, hung up their short soldiers, and followed Xu Dalang and Cheng Dalang to the northwest, regardless of their fatigue.
At noon, with the help of the cover of the huge pursuer, Zhang Xing and his subordinates had escaped from the original battlefield for dozens of miles after overcoming various battles and non-combat attrition, and entered the territory of Pingxiang in Xiangguo County.
At this time, the sentries from the front came desperately to report that a coalition force suddenly appeared at the official road intersection in front, blocking them in the middle, and the flag was "Han".
"It's Han Yingong!" The yellow-faced horse hugged its neck and gave the verdict almost without thinking.
Break. "Before Cao Lin sent troops to Guanxi, it was because Han led his troops to defect to Bai Hengqiu. The latest information before the war was that he led his troops from Hedong to Taiyuan. He should have eight or nine thousand people, all of whom he came from
Brought back from Xuzhou."
"Eight or nine thousand people have never appeared in the coalition camp before. They must be our backup." Cui Suchen's beard and hair were burned by fire, and there were wounds on his right leg caused by Bai Hengqiu's red chess piece last night.
, as if the literary cultivator cannot practice combat and can only analyze on the horse. "They are just waiting for work!"
"Then should we go around?" Xu Shiren, who was rotated to the front army, was very nervous. At this point, it is nonsense to say that he will be frightened out of his wits by the blocking troops. At best, he is just nervous. "Go from the field."
"It's not easy to go around, and he won't just sit back and watch us go around." Wang Shuyong was a little annoyed. "He wanted to stop us. We are mostly infantry. Going around fields and rivers is equivalent to being blocked, and it is easy to be blocked by the terrain.
We were scattered, and the pursuers from behind were chasing us along the road. We were out of formation, and it became difficult."
"But eight or nine thousand people are too many!" Niuda, who was also injured, was also a little helpless. "If we concentrate our elite troops and cannot break through in one fell swoop, we will attract chasing troops."
"As long as the war starts, Bai Hengqiu and Xue Changxiong are almost bound to arrive. There is no way." Xiong Bonan said helplessly. "Reinforcements are in Daluze?" Jia Yue, who had been silent, suddenly looked at Zhang Gongshen who was following him.
.
"They said they would come to Dalu Ze." Zhang Gongshen said helplessly. "Time is too tight. I don't know their journey."
"Even Dalu Ze can't keep up with the current situation." After Ma Wei finished speaking, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell off the horse, vomiting continuously.
This alcoholic drunkard still had some cultivation skills, so his fall from the horse did not have much impact, and his vomiting was obviously caused by eating and drinking on the horse before, and then being jolted.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After the horses were helped up after vomiting, they almost instinctively looked at Zhang Xing who was sitting on the yellow gelding. They saw the latter wearing a short cloak. Although he was covered in smoke and dust, his back was straight. He was observing the surrounding situation, but
I couldn't help but cheer up a lot.
"Everyone." When Zhang Xing saw this, he originally wanted to imitate Prime Minister Cao and laugh, but after seeing that his morale was still good, he just smiled. "You shouldn't waste time talking big words at this time, but you still have to say it. I was beaten before.
I promised you all during the siege that I would bring you back, and I will definitely be able to bring you back! I still say the same thing today!"
Several people around him were somewhat refreshed.
"Do three things." Zhang Xing continued to speak on the yellow horse. "Leader Xu and Jia Yue are now going to investigate Han Yingong in front. Jia Yue saw clearly his strength and configuration. Leader Xu talked to him, reminisced about old times, and asked questions.
Is he willing to let us go? What happens today will definitely pay off in the future! In short, you can say anything you want! I'm here to guarantee it!"
Xu Shiren and Jia Yue both handed over their hands and left directly.
Zhang Xing continued: "Niuda, you go to the rear army to find Wang Xiongdan, and you two will work together to gather the stragglers."
Niuda's arm was injured, so he raised his hand and reined in his horse.
"Finally, after the whole army is tidied up, rested, eaten, and inspected the weapons and horses, King Xiongtian went to see the Vajras in the rear army. He must take good care of himself to prevent Bai Hengqiu from attacking from behind." Zhang Xing said the last words, and he actually turned over as he spoke.
After dismounting, he took out a pancake from his arms and gave half of it to the horse that had just vomited. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground and picked up a water bag to swallow.
When everyone around him saw this, they all followed suit. Only Xiong Bonan did not dare to fly. He just rode his horse to catch up with Niuda and went to the rear.
After a while, which was the time it took for him to forcefully swallow half of the pancake, Xu Shiren and Jia Yue came back together.
"Chief." Xu Shiren replied with his hands raised. "Han Yingong had no intention of getting out of the way. He said that Bai Hengqiu gave him a death order and wanted to delay me, so I came directly."
Everyone who heard this became more serious, but some people felt strange because Xu Shiren's expression was not depressed, but somewhat relieved.
"Han Yingong only has three to four thousand men." Jia Yue, expressionless, immediately added. "The defense line is not deep, and it is very hasty. There is only one trench, and it is only two feet deep. They arrived here not long ago."
Everyone was excited and couldn't help but look at Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing looked around and knew that his morale was available, so he did not hesitate: "In that case, there is no need to hesitate. If we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Kill him immediately!"
"I'm going to call the King of Heaven." Someone stood up immediately.
"No need, let the King of Heaven and the Thirteen Vajra continue to take precautions, I will rush over with you all!" Zhang Xing stood up and got on the yellow gelding. At this time, the iron gun was gone, and he was only carrying a Northern straight knife.
"Han Yingong used his life this time because he cherished his life. In this case, we will fight him to the death! And if we have to fight to the death, let's start from me! Chief Xu and Wang Wulang, I will lend you two golden arrows to cover. Jia Yue will lead his troops.
After that, when I rush in, I will follow them and fight hand to hand with them! The rest of them will pass by one after another!"
