A scout team rode up to Lin Ye, jumped off the horse, clasped his fists and said: "Lou Fan's defeated troops did not dare to flee directly to the north. They were heading east, seeming to want to bypass General Ning's team and then return north.
.”
Lin Ye was squatting in front of the map and looking at it carefully, and nodded when he heard this.
He nodded heavily with his finger somewhere on the map: "Split your troops into three groups, and use the force of a wolf to drive a flock of sheep. We must intercept the routed enemy here."
The cowardly generals surrounding the circle unanimously agreed: "Yes!"
The generals of each army returned after receiving the order, and prepared to pursue each other according to Lin Ye's instructions.
Lin Ye divided the cowardly army into three teams, with two on the left and right, and made a large detour all the way to the south of the defeated army to set up an ambush. He must drive the defeated army to continue running in the northeast direction.
After the assignment was completed, Lin Ye looked at Ning Haitang, who looked a little haggard: "I have been chasing for two days and two nights without any rest, and you are always rushing to the front, while others take turns to rest but you don't sleep. This doesn't work."
Ning Haitang said: "You haven't slept either."
Lin Ye said: "I am strong and I know."
Ning Haitang raised his eyebrows as if provoking: "Why don't I know you are so strong?"
Lin Ye: "How dare you provoke me on this occasion?"
Ning Haitang: "On what occasion would I not dare to provoke you?"
Lin Ye looked around, then snorted and said: "There is no chance to teach you a lesson here, so I'll let you go for now."
Ning Haitang laughed, and then pointed to the place Lin Ye pointed out on the map just now: "This is a good place."
Lin Ye said: "Yes, this is a good place. I will teach you a lesson when I get there!"
Ning Haitang said: "You...shut up! I mean, in such a good place, fighting such a good battle, you are going to let me go back to sleep?"
Lin Ye said: "It's still too late for you to catch up with us after you get some sleep."
Ning Haitang said: "At such an important time, it is impossible for me to ignore it."
Lin Ye thought for a while and nodded: "Okay."
When talking to a woman like Ning Haitang, Lin Ye knows what attitude to use. She is so strong, but you think she can't hold on, then she will prove it to you."
Lin Ye said: "You and I have to take turns commanding, so you go to bed first..."
He raised his finger and pointed at the sky.
In the sky, a huge bird is hovering there. Even if it is high in the sky, it can still give people a great shock.
He waved to the sky, and the giant bird immediately swooped down.
Lu Junji controlled the giant bird to hover about a foot above the ground, frightening the horses around him to neigh.
"General Ning and I need to take turns to rest. Can someone sleep on your big bird?"
Lin Yewen.
Lu Junji said in a resentful tone: "Don't I need to sleep..."
Lin Ye: "You are a man."
Lu Junji immediately sat up straight because of these four words, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, so General Ning can come up and rest for a while, and forget it."
Lin Ye: "Why..."
Lu Junji replied matter-of-factly: "You are a man too."
After saying that, he waved to Ning Haitang, who walked up to him with a smile.
This big bird is big enough for one person to lie down comfortably without hindering the person in front of him who is controlling the big bird.
As the big bird soared into the sky, Lin Ye mounted his horse and led the cowardly cavalry towards the south.
They must use faster speed to get in front of Lou Fan's defeated troops, and then attack the Lou Fan people head-on after detouring.
It was about forty miles behind their team.
Huben Cavalry General Xumi Jinghong squatted by the stream and washed his face vigorously, shook off the water from his hands and looked forward.
He has been chasing for two days and two nights, and still has not caught up with the cowardly army.
"madman......"
Xumi Jinghong muttered to himself.
Just half a day ago, his scouts told him that there was a battlefield ahead, and the cowardly army had caught up with Lou Fan's defeated troops and were hunting.
Xumi Jinghong thought to himself, "What can I do without this?" Although it was already very hard on the road before, he had already missed too many battles. From Caoshu City to the south, he chased after him all the way.
The cowardly army resolved the battle extremely quickly. Every time their scouts discovered a battle, they rushed over. Every time they arrived at the battlefield, they saw corpses all over the ground.
This time was no exception. They rushed up with a roar, only to find that the battle had ended for at least half an hour. The remains of Loufan people were everywhere, not even a single living person.
The cowardly army was really ruthless in killing people. In order not to give the Loufan people a chance to breathe, they did not keep any prisoners along the way. Wherever Huben passed, they saw corpses.
"General!"
A scout hurried over, dismounted and reported: "We found a team heading north about thirty miles to the west without any flags."
Xumi Jinghong guessed that it was a Loufan army that had escaped the main force of Lin Ye's cowardly army. After all, millions of Loufan people were scattered.
Since we can't catch up with the cowardly army, we will eat the defeated army.
He waved and led the tiger and horse cavalry towards the place discovered by the scouts.
Huben is a heavy cavalry, and each heavy armored cavalry has a retinue. The retinue's mission is to carry armor for the heavy armored cavalry and serve the master well.
They also have horses, and there are two of them. One horse carries the heavy armor of the Tiger Cavalry and the armor of the Tiger Cavalry horse. The other horse carries the retinue and other necessary things, such as food and blankets.
When marching, the Huben and Huben cavalry all ride lightly on horseback. When they are not in a hurry, they cherish their horses and are even more willing to lead them.
A Huben heavy armored cavalry actually consists of two men and three horses, so the size of the Huben army does not seem small.
Because they had to chase Lin Ye, the heavy armored cavalry did not wear armor at all along the way and used themselves as light cavalry. Of course, their load was much heavier than that of the light cavalry.
I rushed over along the way and intercepted the team heading north, only to discover that it turned out to be the Jade Army...
This is why the Jade Army did not display a banner because they were transporting a large amount of food and supplies.
Probably because they heard that there was a fierce fighting in this area, in order not to attract the attention of the Loufan people, they put away their flags and were always on guard.
Xumi Jinghong stepped forward to check and found that it was his eldest brother Xumi Pianruo who led the army to escort the grain and grass.
When these two people met, their first words were exactly the same.
"Where's Lin Ye!"
After saying this sentence, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and then they said another sentence together. There was only one word difference in this second sentence.
"Aren't you from the north? Haven't you seen Lin Ye?"
"Aren't you from the south? Haven't you seen Lin Ye?"
After finishing speaking, the two brothers looked at each other again.
"I'm just carrying the food and baggage. Why can't you catch up with Lin Ye?"
"What I carry may not necessarily be lighter than what you carry."
Xumi Jinghong said: "Now I am going to chase Lin Ye. Don't follow me. Lin Ye is as cowardly as a light cavalry. He doesn't even risk his life when he runs. You can't catch up."
Xumi Pianruo: "You can catch me. You can catch me. Why are you here?"
Xumi Jinghong: "You'd better be a little self-aware."
Xumi Pianruo: "You'd better have some."
Xumi Jinghong glared at him and waved to his subordinates: "Replenish dry food from Master Xumi's team and leave as soon as you finish."
Xumi Pianruo: "You..."
Xumi Jinghong: "You're welcome."
After speaking, he picked up two long cloth bags containing dry food from the carriage. They were shaped like belts. When filled, they looked like fat snakes. They could be hung on the shoulders and carried around.
Xumi Jinghong and his men got enough dry food, waved, and the team set off again, chasing Lin Ye in the direction of his advance.
Xumi Pianruo shouted from behind: "According to what you said, Lin Ye should intercept Lou Fan's defeated troops in the direction of Dapu Town. You can go directly to pursue them there."
Xumi Jinghong turned around and shouted: "Should I use you to teach me?"
Xumi Pianruo: "If you weren't my brother, I would break your legs."
Xumi Jinghong: "I am your brother, you can fight me too."
After saying that, he urged his horse forward.
"Sir, where are we going now?"
Xumi Pianruo's men asked: "Should we continue to the direction of Caoshu City?"
Xumi Pianruo sighed: "The decisive battle should be in the direction of Dapu Town. Even if we go to Caoshu City, we won't see anyone. After the war, military supplies are scarce, and our food and grass are just in use. Send the order to the direction of Dapu Town.
Walk."
Two days later.
Xumi Pianruo arrived at Dapu Town with food and supplies. He got off his horse and walked towards the town with his arms moving. Along the way, he could see a large number of corpses of Lou Fan soldiers on both sides of the road.
When I walked to the entrance of the town, I saw Xumi Jinghong standing on a high place, standing there alone, as if he was in a daze, or as if he was worried.
It's obviously summer, but Xumi Jinghong is standing there, but it makes people feel like he is snowflakes fluttering in the north wind, and a plum blossom stands proudly in the snow...
Seeing him like this, Xumi Pianruo laughed.
"Again, you ate shit all the way and didn't catch up?"
When Xumi Pianruo laughed at Xumi Jinghong, he himself was also filled with pain.
Logically speaking, as long as a normal person has intercepted Lou Fan's defeated troops in Dapu Town, then this is of course the place for the decisive battle.
Both he and Xumi Jinghong judged it this way, and they didn't feel that their judgment was wrong.
Moreover, Dapu Town itself is quite suitable for a decisive battle, and the terrain is favorable to the Jade Army.
However, although there was fighting here for a while, it obviously did not look like a decisive battle.
Lou Fan's troops are strong, and even if they are defeated one after another, the number of retreating troops should be hundreds of thousands.
They did not dare to spread out too much, for fear of being divided and eaten by Lin Ye and the Hu Ben cavalry.
Only by maintaining a large-scale team gathering can we have a chance of fighting back.
"Judging from the dead, the fighting was brutal, but the number of troops lost by the Loufan people is not enough to say that they were severely damaged."
Xumi Jinghong looked at Xumi Pianruo: "You have time to laugh at me, why not guess where Lin Ye is now."
Xumi Pianruo said: "You are so powerful, why do you ask me? Don't you need my teaching?"
Xumi Jinghong said: "Of course I don't need you to teach me about the art of war. I ask you for advice because Lin Ye is not a normal person at all, and he doesn't use any normal art of war at all."
Xumi Pianruo said: "He is a general and you are also a general. You ask me about military affairs? You are better off guessing than asking me."
Xumi Jinghong: "I'm not asking you about military affairs. I told you that Lin Ye is not normal."
Xumi Pianruo: "I can guess that he is abnormal?"
Xumi Jinghong: "Because you are not normal either. Based on the communication between your fellow patients and your almost identical sick thoughts, you should be better than me."
Xumi Pianruo said: "My illness is hereditary, why don't you ask my father?"
Xumi Jinghong: "I didn't inherit it."
Xumi Pianruo: "I'll write it down and talk about it later when I get home."
Xumi Jinghong looked at the sky: "Since you were a child, besides complaining to me, what else can you do?"
Xumi Pianruo: “He will add fuel and jealousy to it.”
When he said this, he suddenly realized something and turned around and shouted: "Bring the map here."
His soldiers quickly sent the map over. Xumi Pianruo opened the map on the ground, squatted down and looked at it carefully for a while, and then a look of relief appeared on his face.
"I probably guessed it."
Xumi Pianruo pointed to a location on the map: "If I were Lin Ye, I would drive Lou Fan's defeated troops here."
Xumi Jinghong stared at that position, with a shocking realization in his eyes.
"How could I forget this place?"
Xumi Jinghong turned around and ordered: "Blow the trumpet and order the entire army to assemble. They must set off within half an hour. The team will not wait for those left behind!"
His soldiers rushed out and circulated orders among the camps.
"I hope it's not too late."
Xumi Jinghong looked at Xumi Pianruo: "I'm not as good as you this time."
Xumi Pianruo: "When was the last time you were really stronger than me?"
Xumi Jinghong was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned his horse and walked away. Behind him came Xumi Pianruo's shout: "It stands to reason that you should not chase after a poor enemy, especially when you get to that place, please be careful!"
Xumi turned around and shouted in shock.
"Know it!"
"Brother."
Hearing the word "eldest brother", Xumi Pianruo laughed silly.
At this moment, one hundred and twenty miles away.
Lin Ye looked forward, his eyes full of coldness.
"Go down with the order and surround the mountain."
