The blazing flames covered half of the sky, and the huge Qi army camp almost turned into a burning fireball.
The spreading flames rushed up to the tent and burned the horses. With a shrill neighing sound, balls of fire scattered around the camp.
"Commander Commander, let's go!"
Ding Lun from the Military Intelligence Department pulled on Kang An's armor and shouted in disgrace.
Han Hao came on horseback with a gun in hand, leading a group of sergeants, and shouted: "Commander Commander, follow me."
Several sergeants dismounted, helped Kang An get on the horse, and protected Kang An as he rushed forward with Han Hao.
After fighting for a long time, Kang An finally broke out of the ring of fire and found a place to rest.
The surrounding area was completely dark, and the shouts of killing from behind gradually became silent. Kang An held a water bag handed over by a soldier in his hand and suddenly burst into laughter.
Ding Lun, who was wrapping his wound, was stunned and asked Kang An confusedly: "Commander, why are you laughing?"
Kang An pointed to the water bag in his hand and said, "Hahaha, although I am defeated now, I am still not defeated."
"If General Su Lushan sends a cavalry general to pursue him, then all the north of this place will belong to the Han Kingdom."
"Everyone said that General Su Lushan was nothing but mediocre."
Ding Lun glanced at Kang An with disdain, "Doesn't it hurt if your grandson hits him in the face?" Su Lu was no match for Er'er, but Er'er still beat you so hard that you lost your armor and even the camp, leaving 40,000 troops behind.
There are less than three thousand around me.
Han Hao's troops were all knocked out. Hearing this, he agreed and said, "The commander-in-chief is right. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we take this place and send one general to defend it, even if we have thousands of troops in Qi, it will be difficult."
Kang An laughed, patted Han Hao on the shoulder, and said with appreciation: "Not bad, it's not in vain for me to teach you on weekdays, not bad."
Han Hao saved Kang An's life. Kang An had already made up his mind that he would definitely make use of this kid when he returned. Not only was he powerful in combat, he was also quite good at flattering.
"kill"
The cry of killing rang out from behind, and an army came in the dark to fight. The leader was none other than Su Ping.
"Commander Commander, leave quickly"
Han Hao picked up Kang An, pushed him onto his horse, and turned around to summon the Qi army to meet the enemy.
"Puff puff"
The sound of spears piercing the body was heard intensively.
The Han army, which had been chasing all the way, finally caught up. Naturally, they refused to let go of the opportunity and rushed forward. The Qi army, which had no fighting spirit, was immediately knocked down in a large area.
Kang'an ran for his life, not daring to look back, for fear that the Han army would catch up and shoot him in the back.
The Qi State has been established for hundreds of years. Over the years, relying on the cover of overseas powers, it has become very arrogant and domineering. Whether it is with the Tang Dynasty or the Southern Chu Dynasty, relying on the strong overseas troops and armor, it is not afraid of the two countries.
I never thought that it would fall into the hands of the Northern Han Dynasty, which had always been at the bottom of the list.
Kang'an ran for a while, and when he saw no more Han troops behind him, he reined in his horse and stopped to rest by the roadside.
Han Hao has disappeared, and there are only a few hundred soldiers and horses left, and another 70% of the army and horses have been lost.
Ding Lun's injured arm was hung by his neck, and he took the initiative to count the troops and horses. Among the generals who were still alive, apart from Kang'an's personal guard commander, he, Han Haoxun, had the highest rank.
After counting the troops and horses, Ding Lun took a kettle that he had snatched from an unknown sergeant and handed it to Kang An.
"Commander Commander, we still have 268 people left, only 92 horses left, and no food at all. If we want to survive, we have to escape."
Kang An took a sip of water and stopped making excuses for his failure. He pulled the reins of the horse and said, "Okay, let's leave now."
The sound of horses neighing sounded from behind, and among the chaotic sound of horse hooves, the shouts of the Han army continued one after another.
"Seize the commander of the Qi army and reward him with a hundred gold coins."
"Capture the commander-in-chief of the Qi army and get a hundred gold reward."
Amidst shouts and shouts, the cavalry chased after them.
Kang An got on his horse, whipped the horse's butt, and rushed out into the dark night.
Damn, the Han army is really lingering. Even now, they can still catch up.
…
Su Lu organized all the troops, looked at the food that was only guarded by a group of guards, and asked angrily: "Where is Su Ping, let him seize the food, where did he go?"
The leading team member looked panicked: "Captain Su saw the fleeing general of the Qi army and led his men to catch up."
Zhou Yuan eagerly looked at the mountains of grain and grass, and laughed and said: "Why should the commander be angry? As long as the grain and grass are obtained, our purpose of attacking the Qi army will be achieved. As for General Su's pursuit of the Qi army, the excitement is
That’s a good thing.”
Wang Si chuckled and said: "Su Ping has completed the military order. Chasing the enemy general does not count as disobeying the military order. The commander-in-chief does not need to be too serious."
Su Lu snorted coldly and ordered: "Come here, catch up with Su Lu's army. Don't let him advance rashly and rush into the Qi army's camp."
The team guarding the grain was overjoyed when they heard this. They shouted at their sergeants to guard the grain and grass, then they got on their horses and chased into the dark night.
Cao Hua said with some worry: "Commander Commander, it is better to send someone to meet General Su. If the Qi people ambush the army and damage General Su, the gain will not be worth the loss."
Su Lu waved his hand after hearing this: "Okay, you can catch up. Remember, don't be too eager to fight when you encounter the Qi army. Retreat as soon as possible."
Cao Hua's face lit up and he led the army away.
Wang Si looked at Cao Hua's back with a disappointed look on his face. Why didn't I think that Su Ping needed reinforcements just now?
Dong Ning, who was following behind, heard Wang Si's story and felt depressed. Why couldn't I have come earlier?
The next day, Su Lu woke up at dawn.
After putting on his regular robe and leaving the camp, Su Lu asked Tu Dun'er who was guarding outside the camp.
"Has Cao Hua come back after chasing Su Ping? What happened to Niba? Guangnan has recovered everything, why doesn't he come back?"
Tudun had a bitter look on his face: "Captain Cao Hua has not returned yet, but several groups of messengers have returned. General Su Ping is fine and is still chasing the Qi army. The Qi people are now like lost dogs and only know how to run away."
Su Lu frowned, a little annoyed: "Cao Hua didn't chase Su Ping back, why didn't he report it to me?"
Tudun'er looked embarrassed: "The few soldiers who joined the army were not allowed to talk. They said that the Qi people have lost their courage, and with Colonel Cao Hua suppressing the formation, nothing will happen to General Su Ping."
Zhou Yuan came in from outside, his eyes were red, and when he saw Su Lu, he came in excitedly with the account book in his hand.
"Commander Commander, the food and fodder for the Qi army have been carefully calculated. There are 200,000 dan in total, which is enough for our army to last for a few days."
Su Lu nodded, very good, the purpose of this battle was achieved.
No, it seems that the results of the battle were a bit beyond his imagination. Not only did he seize enough food and grass, but he also destroyed the Qi army.
At three o'clock in the day, Cao Hua and Su Ping finally led the army back.
The two of them entered the camp in high spirits and saw Su Lu.
"Commander Commander, I led the army to Jiangling. The Qi army escaped across the Qingjiang River. I couldn't catch up, so I let them go."
Qingjiang?
Su Lu turned around and looked at the defense map. He looked at the position of Qingjiang River on the defense map. Jiangling was on the edge of Qingjiang River. If he could guard Jiangling Ferry and completely cut off the possibility of Qi people's northward march, then Su Ping would gain from chasing Qi generals day and night.
The land belongs to the Han State.
Expanding hundreds of miles of soil in one night.
Su Lu asked Su Ping: "The Qingjiang River isolates the north and the south, and there are very few ferries. Are there people guarding the Jiangling Ferry?"
Su Ping was speechless: "Send troops to guard the ferry?"
Cao Hua's eyes lit up and he expanded his territory. This was a great thing.
Luo Xuan and the few who joined the army began to breathe heavily.
Open up territory and expand territory, chase the enemy hundreds of miles in one night, and expand hundreds of miles of territory for the Han Dynasty. This is a peerless feat!
