The team led by Lu Junyi dragged his feet for three days and could only cover 200 miles.
Supervisor Zheng was so anxious that he urged Lu Junyi again and again. Lu Junyi was not in a hurry at all and led his team slowly towards Chencang City. It didn't matter if he wanted to delay for a few more days.
Chen Cang may not be able to wait.
In fact, Lu Junyi can't afford it.
No matter how far the road is, it will eventually come to an end. During the three days that we walked, it was calm and nothing happened. Now we are only more than a hundred miles away from Chencang City, but Lu Junyi understands in his heart that the closer we are to Chencang City, the more dangerous it will be.
.
Now Lu Junyi has realized that he is the bait released by Chang'an City to attract big fish to take the bait.
When the big fish takes the bait, that is when the bait should be sacrificed.
"stop."
Lu Junyi suddenly ordered the march to stop. Zheng Jianjun's heart suddenly jumped up. This time it was not a rush march, but the journey was dragging along. The journey that should have been reached in two days took three days, and Chen Cang has not been seen yet.
The shadow of the city.
If he couldn't stop anymore, if he really walked for ten days and a half, what was waiting for Zheng Jianjun would be a beheading.
"What's ahead?" Lu Junyi asked.
"General, the front is Feixiong Slope, and there is a birch forest nearby. General, are we going to pass through Feixiong Slope tonight, or should we rest here temporarily? It's getting late now?"
"Feixiongpo?" Lu Junyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Send two scouts to check it out. If nothing happens, we will rest and camp after passing Feixiongpo today and arrive at Chencang City tomorrow."
Zheng Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief, finally not delaying it any longer. In any case, he can arrive at Chencang City tomorrow, and when he reaches his destination, the burden on his shoulders can also be lifted.
Lu Junyi's men were also excited about this, looking forward to a quick and clean battle with the enemy after encountering the Rong tribe tomorrow.
After Baili Sheng's death, his cronies became ownerless souls. As soldiers, only war can achieve glory, and it is also the only way for them to prove their worth.
Therefore, it was not only Zheng Jianjun who disliked the procrastination of the march, but also Lu Junyi's group of wolf-like men.
Only Lu Junyi remained as calm as ever. No one could guess what he was thinking from his face. He only occasionally looked forward or glanced back.
A fast horse galloped from the direction of Feixiongpo. Before it approached the formation, the scout shouted at Lu Junyi.
"The Rong tribe, general, there is the Rong tribe..."
Two scouts were sent out, but only one came back alive. In fact, he did not need to remind Lu Junyi and others to see the pursuers behind him.
The Rong tribe... The Rong tribe was all over the mountains and plains, and they were all covered in darkness. Lu Junyi glanced at them and saw that there were roughly tens of thousands of them.
Everyone's hearts were raised. There is a saying in the empire that ten thousand soldiers are invincible. Supervisor Zheng was so panicked that he fell off his horse. He looked at Lu Junyi: "General Lu, general..."
Lu Junyi still had an expressionless face. Zheng Jianjun always hated this face. It seemed that he would not frown even if the sky fell. But now Lu Junyi's indifferent expression made his panicked heart calm down a little.
Lu Junyi looked quite calm.
"finally come."
Lu Junyi sighed softly in his heart, feeling relieved. Since he knew it would happen sooner or later, of course he wanted it to happen sooner.
As for whether he can survive this disaster, he can only leave it to fate.
Lu Junyi was not as calm as Zheng Jianjun thought. He just didn't like to expose his inner panic.
"The whole army is ready." Lu Junyi stretched out his fist, then waved it down hard: "Retreat thirty miles."
The distance between the two sides was about three miles, but it was only a blink of an eye, especially when they faced the Rong tribe who were good at riding. But at least Lu Junyi's men showed that they were different from ordinary soldiers. At least... they ran away very quickly.
After Lu Junyi gave the order, the rear team changed to the front team, and the entire army began to retreat in an orderly manner. Fortunately, they did not carry any baggage and food for this march, so they entered a state of retreat in a very short period of time.
The Rong tribe that carried out the ambush this time was the Rong tribe's wolf tribe, a team that is extremely good at running. The leader of the wolf tribe, Chimu Huo, personally led the army and was bound to win this battle. Chimu Huo was also helpless this time, and originally planned to
Feixiongpo ambushed and devoured a group of imperial troops.
But before the enemy walked into the trap, we were discovered first. Attacking now is by no means the best option, but it is the only option.
No matter how small the flies are, they are still meat. It is better to harvest some than nothing.
The three thousand people retreated in an orderly manner, and Lu Junyi personally provided cover at the end. If the Rong tribe came after them, Shan Xiongxin would not mind fighting them.
"Your Majesty, if they retreat without chaos, will there be an ambush?" His subordinates asked Chi Muhuo.
Chimu Huo was already chasing after him with red eyes, holding a mace in his hand and shouting: "Ambush, why are you afraid of an ambush? I think they have too few people."
The subordinates said nothing and started chasing the imperial army. The Rong tribe recorded their military merits by heads. The more heads they grabbed, the greater the merits. They could get more livestock, pastures, women...
Therefore, in their eyes, these three thousand imperial troops are not enemies, but three thousand fat sheep that can reap military glory.
Lu Junyi had to retreat. Using 3,000 soldiers and horses to resist the 10,000 tiger and wolf cavalry of the Rong tribe was like using a mantis as a chariot. However, the 3,000 cavalry led by Lu Junyi only accounted for a small part, and most of the rest were infantry. There had never been two
The reason why one leg outperforms four legs.
Lu Junyi clenched his gun, reined in his horse, gave a loud roar, and led a group of cronies to fiercely crash into the Rong army.
Like a steel knife piercing the military tide, the sharp knife cut through the waves, and Lu Junyi opened the way with a shot. Although there were only a few hundred people, it slowed down the charging speed of the Rong tribe.
Chi Muhuo was startled, his eyes fell on Lu Junyi, and he said: "That general is a good man, don't touch him, let me chop off his head myself."
The Rong warriors swarmed forward and surrounded Lu Junyi and his gang. The gang headed by Lu Junyi showed amazing fighting power and blossomed in the center of the Rong clan. Everyone was brave and they were not afraid of killing and shedding blood.
Most of these people were brought from Liangzhou and have long been accustomed to killing and being killed. Many brothers have died on the way to escape. For those who survive, being killed is a matter of time or a day.
That's all.
Lu Junyi threw away the big gun in his hand, killing people like mowing grass. Even the brave Rong people would be afraid of his killing power. But Lu Junyi was not happy at all in his heart. The fighting of thousands of troops was definitely not something that one person could break free of. He was dragging away like this.
It took a long time, but still fell into the encirclement of the Rong clan. In the end, nothing changed.
At this time, the cavalry rushed out from a distance.
