Chapter 152: Chasing the Defeated General
The defeated Qi army lost its armor all the way, ran whenever it was on the road, crossed the bridge when it saw it, and fled in all directions, just to get rid of the Chen army that was frantically chasing behind him!
The main general, Wei Pohu, who was frightened by the explosion of gunpowder, only took a hundred personal soldiers, ran out of more than 20 miles in one go, and came to the woods again! At this time, he had lost contact with his tens of thousands of troops, and the only generals who followed him were Wang Lin and the more than 100 old troops and heroes who had just defected to Wang Lin.
At the beginning, in order to firmly grasp the military power in his hands, Wei Pohu refused to divide a force for Wang Lin to command and assist in resisting Chen's army, but now he is separated from his subordinates, only Wang Lin has been following him, although everyone is now running for their lives, but it is really a bit inexplicable irony.
And even if this team of less than 300 Rao has fled the battlefield more than 20 miles away, it is not safe, because there is a cavalry unit of Chen Guo closely chasing behind them, less than five miles away from them, it is Xiao Yao's newly formed cavalry team led by Huang Wenyuan!
Huang Wenyuan's cavalry team was not temporarily assigned to other units by Xiao Yao to participate in the melee with the Qi army like the artillery team, but was ambushed on the periphery of the battlefield, waiting for the opportunity to carry out the decapitation operation!
So when Li Nong used a projectile cannon to throw several rounds of explosives packages at the command center of the Qi army, causing great chaos in the Qi army, Huang Wenyuan immediately led three hundred cavalry to rush into the enemy formation and went straight to the main camp of the Qi army!
Although this cavalry team has only formed more than a dozen, because the soldiers of the original infantry battalion are carefully selected from the Eastern Route Army and the Western Route Army, veterans of a hundred battles, although their riding skills are not as good as the elite cavalry of Qi State, they are also outstanding in the Chen army! And although Huang Wenyuan was born in the second generation of officials, the nickname of the first martial prince of Jinling was not blown, in just a dozen years, this newly formed cavalry was actually trained by him to look good, and the combat effectiveness was also comparable to Xiao Moke's cavalry battalion, so Xiao Yao boldly handed over such an important beheading task to them!
"Fuck! This Wei Pohu is really spineless, and he actually escaped first! The battle is not good, but the escape is quite fast, and it runs so far in one breath! Brothers, keep the pursuit, they are in front! Take down their main general, and our infantry battalion will be able to make a great achievement! Capture the main general of the Qi army alive and break the lake! Kill! Huang Wenyuan shouted loudly.
He is very depressed now: the first action of the cavalry team is this important task, so Xiao Yao values it, and having this opportunity to make great contributions makes Huang Wenyuan and the entire cavalry team grateful to Xiao Yao! As a result, when they rushed past the fleeing Qi soldiers and came to the command camp of the Chinese army of the Qi army, they found that they were one step too late, and the main general of the Qi army had already gone to the empty building.
"Capture the lake alive! Kill! The three hundred soldiers responded in unison, and then galloped vigorously, chasing towards the target that was already catching up in front of them!
。。。。。。
"General Lieutenant! Chen Bing in the back is still chasing us closely, and it looks like they will catch up with us soon! However, looking at their posture and listening to the sound of their horses' hooves, this chasing army should be less than 500 people, and we now have 200 soldiers, so it is better for me to take people to stay and stop them, and then the general took the opportunity to flee back to Xuzhou, and informed Gao Taiwei to immediately organize the soldiers to go south for reinforcements and block Chen's army from going north! Wang Lin watched the cavalry chasing after him and was about to catch up, and he could even hear their shouts, so he suggested to Wei Pohu.
Wang Linneng took the initiative to stay with his men and horses to block the pursuers, this suggestion was of course unacceptable to Wei Pohu, who was bent on fleeing for his life, and he immediately agreed: "General Wang is really heroic!" I will leave my fifty personal soldiers to you, and you will bring these old units of yours again to stop this Chen Guo cavalry for me, Wei is grateful! If Wei can retreat in this chasing army today, I will definitely ask for credit for General Wang in front of the emperor one day! ”
"General Wei, don't worry! Even if Wang dies here, he will not let a single cavalry of the Chen State pass through this forest! Wang Lin said righteously.
Wei Pohu continued to gallop with the remaining dozens of his own soldiers and fled northward, while Wang Lin, with less than two hundred people, turned his horse's head and guarded the passage of the woods with a face of death, waiting for the arrival of the pursuers.
"The defeated general in front is the chief general of the Qi army, Wei Pohu? Dismount quickly and be captured, spare you from death! Huang Wenyuan saw that the defeated and fleeing Qi general who was still running in front just now actually took the initiative to stop, and seeing that he was wearing gorgeous armor, he had the wind of a general, thinking that he was Wei Pohu, and he also tightened the reins, stopped the war horse, and the two teams of men and horses were facing each other less than thirty meters apart.
"Who is Chen Jun? Seeing that you are young, General Ben disdains to fight against a nobody! lest I be bullied by young people! Wang Lin said domineeringly, as the so-called loser does not lose the battle, even if he was still being chased by them for twenty miles just now, but now he wants to fight with them, of course, he must get his momentum back!
"You old fellow has been chased by us for twenty miles, are you out of breath, and you want to kneel down to us for mercy? Let you also die to understand, this young master is Huang Wenyuan, the deputy company commander of the first company of the infantry battalion! On the orders of Captain Xiao Yaoxiao, come to capture you, the general of the defeated army, Pohu! Huang Wenyuan is also young and vigorous, and now he is chasing them, and when he heard that a general who escaped on the other side was still so arrogant, he immediately returned angrily.
"It turned out to be an infantry battalion again! Du Xiao Yao is an arrogant and arrogant young man, he can't imagine that his soldiers are so arrogant! Haha, I heard that several generals of the infantry battalion are the second generation of officials, your surname is Huang, presumably your father is Huang Faqu, and he is also a defeated general under me! If I killed him back then, I won't die now, and I will kill his son now, and it will not be in vain for this life! I'm not Yu Pohu, I'm Wang Lin! Wang Lin said domineeringly.
"It turned out to be Wang Lin who was a slave with three surnames! You, a bare-bones general who didn't have a single soldier, are now recruited to your subordinates? Or is Wei Pohu finally willing to divide his troops to you? But he's too angry, it's all at this time, it's too late to divide your little troops! Wu Dudu misses you very much, and capturing you alive is estimated to make this old man happier than catching Wei Pohu! Huang Wenyuan said sarcastically.
"Huang Kou'er really doesn't know how thick the ground is! It's not that easy to catch me! Kill! Wang Lin pulled out his sword and shouted, and then led his men to rush towards the other party!
Seeing that the other party took the initiative to charge himself, Huang Wenyuan sneered, and then ordered: "The musket team is ready to shoot!" The swordsmen draw their swords and prepare to fight! But don't kill this Wang Lin, we only catch him alive! As for the rest, shoot and kill! ”
This cavalry team led by Huang Wenyuan, in addition to the sword soldiers with big swords, there are dozens of musketeers, and it is precisely with these dozens of aces that Xiao Yao will rest assured that he will hand over such an important task to them.
"Bang bang bang", in one round of shooting, dozens of people fell around Wang Lin, but this group of people who had already prepared to die on the battlefield had already rushed to Huang Wenyuan, and the two sides launched a hand-to-hand melee of equestrian and knife skills.
Huang Wenyuan had a lot of people, and there was also a musket team waiting for an opportunity to shoot, and soon killed only half of Wang Lin's men, and even Wang Lin had a few colors on his body! At this time, an old ministry said to Wang Lin: "General, our brothers are desperately surrounding each other's leaders and dragging them, you should also flee!" ”
"No, even if I die, I won't let them go! And you are all my good brothers, how can I leave you behind and run away alone! Wang Lin immediately refused.
"Has the general forgotten the purpose of coming to Huainan this time? This defeat is the responsibility of that Wei Pohu, he doesn't trust the general, why did the general lose his life for him! Our brothers are all because of the general's ambition to come to the general's command again, and there are many heroes and heroes from all over the country are on the way to join the general, and the general must not die today! Brothers, if you fight for your life, you will also send the general out! The old minister said loudly, and then took this brother and besieged Huang Wenyuan.
Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then saw these former men rushing up one by one, and then falling down one by one, and immediately burst into tears, but he also knew that they had a point, he had just returned to Huainan now, and he wanted to lead his former brothers to regain glory, so he couldn't die yet! So he immediately turned around and rode his horse, and fled to the north alone!
