Chapter 353: Suspicion
āā¦ā¦ā
Dong Shou led the main force of the Hexi Iron Cavalry, which was forty or fifty miles away from the forward iron cavalry led by Du Junfeng, but it was separated by a few low snow-covered hills, and the scouts who flew into the sky saw that the forward iron cavalry suddenly consolidated its formation and slowed down its speed, and did not know what was happening.

It wasn't until Du Junfeng sent a messenger to gallop over that Dong Shou knew that Chen Hai suddenly appeared in Heyang County and persuaded this side to give up chasing and suppressing the remnants of the Black Yan Army, and even his words were not without threats.
Chen Hai's words in front of the Five Thousand Hexi Iron Cavalry, Du Junfeng will not exaggerate anything, but he will never cover up anything for Chen Hai, what to do in the future, it depends on how Qin Muhou Dong Shou decides.
Looking at the stiff body of Qin Muhou Dong Shou riding on top of the mighty black tiger, at this time, a cold aura like a cliff mountain was revealed, Li Yulin also deeply felt a chill, and looked at his uncle Li Xianghai with a face.
Li Yulin has been with Chen Hai for a long time, and he is also quite familiar with Chen Hai's military style.
Last night, Huang Shuang was able to lead an elite army through the reconnaissance net they had laid on the west side of Ganquan Ridge, and quietly sneaked into the north side of Guoziling to launch a surprise attack, burning down the Xiyuan Army's big warehouse in Heyang, everyone was shocked, but Li Yulin felt a little familiar with this style of using troops.
Although Li Yulin was shocked and puzzled before, he didn't think much about it, after all, Juquanling secretly sold weapons to the Black Yan Army to make a profit, and everyone would not feel how shocked, and even in the early days of the Wandering Army's rebellion, many sect lords turned a blind eye to the connivance attitude, but Chen Hai himself participated and directly colluded with the remnants of the Black Yan Army, which was unimaginable to Li Yulin before.
He saw that his uncle was also frowning at this time, and he must have realized this, so he didn't know if Dong Hou had any doubts in his heart.
At this time, Dong Shou reined in the cold and cliff-like momentum on his body, turned his head and asked Li Xianghai: "Xianghai, what do you think of this?"
"Whether to persuade or not is in Chen Hai, whether to chase or not, in Dong Hou. Li Xianghai said quietly.
In addition to this sentence, in the face of Dong Shou's questioning, Li Xianghai couldn't provide more opinions, after all, Le Yi was once a subordinate general under his command, and not long ago, Le Yi even released the captured Li Yulin back, and he and Yulin have a close relationship with Ganquanling and Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion, and he needs to avoid suspicion.
Perhaps Dong Hou already suspected that their uncle and nephew were secretly colluding with Chen Hai, and it was not an exaggeration.
"Yes, my Hexi Iron Rider crisscrosses the battlefield, and I am not limited by this yellow-mouthed child. Dong Shou said in a loud voice, and had no intention of continuing to ask, but just summoned other generals over to adjust the follow-up pursuit deployment.
Li Yulin looked at Dong Hou's calm face, but his pupils flashed from time to time, thinking that Dong Hou must be annoyed in his heart, but there was no way to really grasp Chen Hai's handle.
Of course, Dong Shou said so, and he had no intention of giving up the pursuit of the remnants of the Black Yan Army, but once the seeds of hesitation were planted in the hearts of the generals, they subconsciously converged the formation to a more compact one, intentionally or unintentionally strengthened the defense of the two wings, and at the same time scattered more scouts, instead of chasing out with shame as at the beginning, to annihilate the two thief armies of Huang Shuang and Le Yi when they converged.
No matter how lightly Li Xianghai said what he said just now, it is undeniable that Chen Hai's blatant appearance has caused extremely serious disturbances in everyone's hearts, even if Qin Muhou Dong Shou tried his best not to show it, but Li Yulin could be sure that Dong Hou was no exception.
Although Chen Hai's cultivation at this time was only in the middle of the Ming Realm, for the group of Heavenly Pride who had entered the Gongchun Qingque List six years ago, the progress of cultivation was by no means rapid, after all, Ran Hu, Dong Ning and other disciples who were ranked outside the Qingque List had already successfully opened up the sea of knowledge and stepped step by step to a higher cultivation realm, but what Chen Hai had done in the past five or six years and the reputation he had established were by no means comparable to the figures in the Qingque List in the same period.
The world is more familiar with Chen Hai's dispatch of troops to Qintong Mountain, the rejection of the people's army in Zuojin Valley, and the pretending to be a national envoy into the Jinzhou Desert to recruit horse bandits to help the Ye family restore the country.
And the generals of Hexi also knew that before Chen Hai became famous, he had two outstanding performances before and after the Hexi soldiers left Yulong Mountain, and Chen Hai at that time was even less famous, but he was able to create a dazzling record that a mature veteran like Li Xianghai could not achieve.
In addition to the battles of the western Jinzhou Desert, Li Yulin has participated in all the battles that Chen Hai has participated in before, and he also knows better how Chen Hai has the means to turn decay into magic, thinking that in front of Chen Hai, no matter how cautious he is, it may not be too much, right?
Of course, in addition to shrinking the formation and slowing down the speed of advancement, Dong Shou also sent more than a dozen scouts to watch every move of Chen Hai and his party by means of spirit birds.
After Chen Hai and Du Junfeng said goodbye, they did not go directly to Chen Xuanzhen and Tu Chongjin, who were biting Huang Shuang's department, but took the spirit bird to the southeast to meet the pursuers of the Qinwang Army who were pursuing from the western foot of Ganquan Ridge.
************************
In the afternoon, the British king Yingshu had already led the main force of the Xiyuan Army to capture the camp of the Black Yan Army at the western foot of Ganquan Mountain.
Three days before and after, the main force of the Xiyuan Army captured the camp at the west foothills, the speed is not fast, the British king Yingshu is also the main combat force is transferred to the front of the battle in turn, at this time a part of the soldiers and horses are assigned to pursue the Black Yan Army in the depths of the west ridge of Ganquan Mountain, collect the little remaining grain left by the Black Yan Army, and advance to the middle peak of Ganquan Mountain, while the other soldiers and horses are resting on the spot.
Although the Western Foot Battalion of the Black Yan Army was captured, and 200,000 elites were annihilated or disabled, the Black Yan Army's Northern Foot Battalion, the Southern Foot Battalion, and the soldiers and horses that had withdrawn to the west of Ganquan Mountain more than half a month ago added up to four or five hundred thousand people, especially the valley road that ran through the middle of Ganquan Ridge, and was still under the control of the Black Yan Army, and the Xiyuan Army was not without pressure at this time.
What's more, the big warehouse in Guoziling was burned down, and the residual grain in the hands of the Xiyuan Army and the Zhulu Qinwang Army was extremely limited, even if the next batch of grain and grass could be transported from Yanjing in time, it would only barely maintain the daily consumption of the Zhu Army, and at the moment, it was more important to keep an eye on the movements of the Tiger Ben Army in the southern part of Heyang County.
King Ying Shu did not directly send elite combat forces from the Xiyuan Army to the west to pursue and suppress the remnants of Huang Shuang and Le Yi, which does not mean that he is not angry in his heart, but a passive situation has been formed, just anger or even anger will not help.
Although the main force of the Xiyuan Army did not move, the Qinwang Army west of Ganquan Mountain divided two cavalry routes to the west to join the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of Huang Shuang and Le Yi.
In this way, between Ganquan Mountain, Guoziling and Shiratling, in the hilly and mountainous wasteland with a radius of more than 200 miles and covered with heavy snow, in addition to a small number of cavalry of the rear army of the Xiyuan Army led by Chen Xuanzhen and Tu Chongjin staring at the remnants of Huang Shuang, there are also about 1120,000 elite cavalry of the five roads led by the Qinwang Army of Hexi, forming a trend of encirclement and suppression against the two Black Yan armies of Huang Shuang and Le Yi on the inside.
Chen Hai did not go to see Chen Xuanzhen and Tu Chongjin, knowing that Chen and Tu were angry, and the two of them were to bear most of the responsibility for the destruction of Dacang, and it was impossible to move and persuade him.
Ying Wang Yingshu is not only the supreme commander of the Xiyuan Army, but also the supreme commander of the Western Front battlefield, and the Zhulu Qinwang army on the Western Front battlefield is also controlled by him, he issued an order to pursue and suppress, he does not withdraw the order, no matter how Chen Hai persuades, it is impossible for the five road pursuers and Chen Xuanzhen and Tu Chongjin to withdraw their troops or hold their troops still, but the reaction of the other four Qin Wang army's pursuers is the same as that of Hexi Tiehe, after seeing Chen Hai, no matter what the reason, they all invariably slowed down the speed of the pursuit.
In the same way, Huang Shuang, Le Yi and several anti-village soldiers and horses who crossed the Xiaolianshui River to the west yesterday to stir up the situation, a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses, successfully converged near a pine forest in the southeast of Shilingling.
Although Dong Shou led the Hexi Iron Cavalry to pounce directly, he took advantage of the fact that the remnants of the Black Yan Army were meeting in the southeast of Shiratling, and led his troops to go around to the west side, and joined forces with Chen Xuanzhen and Tu Chongjin to occupy several dangerous places, intending to cut off the possibility of the remnants of the Black Yan Army breaking through to the west.
No matter how far Chen Hai colluded with the remnants of the Black Yan Army, and no matter what kind of hole cards Chen Hai hid, Dong Shou led the Hexi Iron Cavalry to deploy like this, obviously thinking that when the other four-way pursuers slowly surrounded him from the east, they could form an iron fist and pinch the remnants of the inner circle to death neatly.
And only two days have passed from the decision to go out of the city to attack the camp, to crossing the Xiaolianshui River with the intention of seeing death as home, and successfully attacking the camp and burning down the Xiyuan Army's big warehouse in Guoziling. In the past two days, it can be said that Huang Shuang, Le Yi and others are frightening step by step, although the encirclement and suppression network composed of the five-way pursuers is getting denser and tighter, but to be able to come to this point, Huang Shuang and Le Yi have no regrets.
The camp at the western foot was captured, but the Qinwang army on the north and south flanks did not immediately launch a fierce attack on the camp at the southern foot and the camp at the northern foothill, which shows how much impact the destruction of the Guoziling Okura had on the battlefield on the western front.
This is also the core goal of Huang Shuang and Le Yi resolutely leading their troops to cross the Xiaolianshui River to the west, and they will die without regrets if they achieve this goal.
At this time, even if the Black Yan Army on the north and south flanks of Ganquan Mountain directly gave up the camp and retreated northward, and the Zhulu Qinwang Army would pursue, it was impossible to be too bold to surround and annihilate all the Black Yan Army near Ganquan Mountain after interspersing and cutting, which meant that in the end, a large number of Black Yan troops could successfully retreat to Songdu Mountain, retaining the last bit of vitality for the Black Yan Army and the Red Mei Sect.
Granny Crane broke into Guoziling alone, which was also a desperate struggle, but she didn't expect Huang Shuang and Le Yi to have the same action, and the deployment was more precise than her, and finally this thing was done.
At this time, after Chen Hai met with the chasing soldiers of Zhulu, he rode the spirit bird again and rushed over to meet Huang Shuang and Le Yi. This time, Chen Hai did not wear a bronze mask, but flew directly down the Cangyu Spirit Eagle, and arched his hand towards Huang Shuang and Granny Crane and said: "Tianji Palace Chen Hai, I have seen General Huang and Granny Crane......
Chen Hai didn't wear a bronze mask at this time, but he was still wearing the robe he was wearing when he left, even if Le Yi didn't say it, Huang Shuang and Granny Crane also knew that he was an ugly slave, not to mention that Ning Chan'er was standing behind Chen Hai.
