Chapter 121: Counterattack (4)

Guo Qi got up from the handsome chair, walked to the map and said: "Longzhou has been recovered by us in this battle, but our losses are not small, especially the population and food we are in short supply;

This time, the bottom line given to you by this king is very loose, and you have the final say on how to fight the war, but there is one thing that cannot cause us unnecessary losses.

In addition, you must get back 100,000 people and at least 200,000 stone grain and grass for this king, and as for the other horses, cattle and sheep, the more the better.

The main plundering ground this time is Qinzhou, and according to the information obtained by this king, Qinzhou is now ......"

Guo Qi introduced the situation of Qinzhou to everyone, due to the previous Battle of Huangyang, Murong Chui drew a lot of troops from Qinzhou, and now Qinzhou can be described as empty of troops, and the defenders of the entire Qinzhou together are less than 10,000 people.

"Lord, don't you personally command such a big operation!" Tang Biyan said.

"This king has more important things to deal with." Guo Qi said directly: "If this king personally goes out every time he fights, what else do you generals do, when you are ready, hurry up and give Lao Tzu a roll;

By the way, there is also Murong Chui, we can't let this old boy run away so easily, it's best to capture him alive for Lao Tzu. ”

"No! The last general commanded. The generals answered.

"This time, the army set out, with Hu Qiong as the main general of the army, Tang Bi, Zhuo Yidao, and Sun Guoqing as the deputy generals, and transferred 30,000 horses from Huangyang Pass, mainly with the tooth guards and hussar guards, supplemented by government soldiers; Sun Guoqing's ministry dispatched 10,000 horses, mainly government soldiers, and the troops drawn must all be veterans who have seen blood. ”

"The last general understands, please rest assured." Hu Qiongyan said.

"Then I'll leave it to you, and you can decide for yourself how to act!" After Guo Qi finished speaking, he left and became the shopkeeper.

After Guo Qi left, Hu Qiongyan said; "The lord trusts us so much, we will not fail to live up to the trust of the lord; General Tang led the hussars to take the lead in pursuing Murong Chui's rout. ”

"The last general commands."

"Captain Li Wu, you send someone to inform General Sun Guoqing and ask him to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to the west along Weishui."

"No! Commanded by humility. ”

"The rest of you, with Ben will gather troops and horses, and set off in an hour."

"No! Obey the command. ”

Tang Bi led the hussars took the lead in leaving Huangyang Pass, an hour later, Hu Qiong's 26,000 foot soldiers also left Huangyang Pass, so many people left Huangyang Pass instantly took advantage of the opportunity, at this time Huangyang Pass left only more than 2,000 people who could act, Guo Qi arranged a part of the start to clean up the battlefield, as long as the corpses of the soldiers of the Yongjun were properly disposed of, as for the corpses of the Xirong Army, they could find a big pit at will, and they would be burned to ashes and buried.

It is said that Tang Bi led four thousand hussars to run wildly, and finally caught up with the defeated soldiers of Xirong two hours later, at this time, the defeated soldiers of Xirong were not only demoralized, but extremely weak, and they had long lost the appearance of the elite soldiers of the past.

It turned out that after Murong Chui broke out of the encirclement yesterday, he was afraid that the Yong army would pursue him, so he led 20,000 remnants of the army to the west overnight and fled, this run was a night, and he didn't stop to rest until dawn; However, at this time, the Xirong army was not to mention the weight of food and grass, and some even lost their weapons and armor, except for the elite bearded knights and a small number of officers who had food, and other ordinary soldiers could only go hungry.

"Rumble, Rumble, Boom......"

"The cavalry of the Yongjun army has caught up, run!"

I don't know who shouted, and those who were originally sitting on the ground to rest got up from the ground and ran west in a panic.

"Dashuai, let's go! The cavalry of the Yongjun army caught up. The commander of the guard said as he helped Murong to the war horse.

At this time, Murong Trai's face was pale, and he looked completely at the mercy of others, in fact, since he broke through the encirclement of the Yongjun army yesterday, Murong Trai has become what he is now, and he didn't say a word along the way, and he was completely wilted.

More than 2,000 bearded sword knights (note 1) protected Murong and fled westward, ignoring the defeat of the infantry behind him, and these Xirong infantry soldiers were completely abandoned; More than 2,000 bearded sword knights are now Murong Chui's only honor guard.

"Rumble, Rumble, Boom......"

"Kill, kill, kill......"

The cavalry of the Yongjun army shouted and entered the Xirong rout, only to cross the sword, without too much movement, the head of the Xirong rout army was like cutting melons and vegetables, and was cut off by the soldiers of the Yongjun hussar guard; It was a one-sided massacre.

"If you don't kill, you don't kill...... Tang Bi shouted loudly.

The other hussar guards also shouted: "If you fall, you won't kill, if you fall, you won't kill......"

Some of the Xirong rout army who couldn't run at a glance knelt on the ground and raised their hands on the spot, surrendering to the hussar guards, some people took the lead and some people naturally followed suit, and after a while, the whole road was the Xirong rout army kneeling on the ground in twos and threes, for which Tang Bi also left five hundred cavalry to take care of it, as for these soldiers will then be escorted to Huangyang Pass, and the things behind are not Tang Bi's concern.

Tang Bi led 3,500 cavalry hussars to cross the surrender army and continue to pursue Murong Chui; In order to delay the pursuit of the hussars, the commander of the guards had to break his wrists, leaving some of the bearded knights to block the hussars.

Although the bearded knight is strong, but at this time the morale is low, plus the people who were left behind, there are some complaints, and there is some fear of the Yongjun in his heart, so the combat power is not as good as before, and it has not caused great losses to the hussar guards.

However, it dragged Tang Bi for a while, and when the hussar guards solved the matter of the thousand sword knights behind the palace, it was too late to continue to pursue Murong Trai, and Murong Trai didn't know where to go.

At the foot of an unnamed hillside, in the afterglow of the setting sun, several piles of cages burned with the sound of 'popping', and several fire racks roasted roasted roe deer, rabbits and other prey.

Murong Chui sat by the fire and asked the commander of the guard, "What kind of place is this?" ”

"Dashuai, we have already come to the Huangyuan camp, and we can go north from here to the Huating camp." The captain of the guard said; "Dashuai, the rabbit is roasted, you can eat some!"

"Let the brothers eat! Ben Shuai can't eat it. Murong said; After eating, he put out the fire and immediately set off for the south. ”

"Heading south?" The elder of the guard Qianfu was shocked: "The handsome can't go south to Huating." ”

"Let's not go to Huating, let's go south to Qingshui." Murong said.

"No! Subordinates obeyed. The commander of the guard answered.

After eating and drinking, Murong Trai led more than a thousand remnants of the army to turn around and go south, and after arriving at Jijia Mountain, Murong Trai and others found a small col in the leeward wind, preparing to rest here for one night, and then continue to rush tomorrow; Running away continuously, with or without salt replenishment, Murong Trai and the others had long lost their strength, and some of the war horses fell directly to the ground foaming at the mouth, and Murong Trai ordered to slaughter a few war horses.

At this moment, a group of people rushed out of nowhere and surrounded Murong Chui and the others; The mouth shouted loudly: "Lay down your arms, lay down your arms......"
