Chapter 129: Decoupling

Although the sound of shouting and killing on the battlefield shook the sky, due to the influence of the sky, both sides became a little chaotic.

"Quick, light the torch!" Seeing this situation, the two sides invariably adopted the same method, and for a time the light on the battlefield was restored, and the two sides continued to fight.

"Erhei, you go to deal with that Deng Qiang, if you can take him down, you must catch him alive!" Li Xin killed for a while, and saw from a distance that Deng Qiang was also in the scuffle at the moment, so he hurriedly found Li Erhei and asked him to kill him.

Deng Qiang is a fierce general, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid it is really impossible to deal with. But Li Erhei didn't have any problems in the past, even if these two people couldn't tell the winner for a while, at least they could entangle Deng Qiang.

Hearing this, Li Erhei hurriedly changed direction and rushed towards where Deng Qiang was. It didn't take long for him to kill directly in front of Deng Qiang.

"Well, you Deng Qiang, dare to fight with me?" Li Erhei yelled, and without waiting for the other party to respond, he killed him directly.

Deng Qiang was in the middle of a fight, but suddenly heard a sound, as if there was a thunderbolt, and then he saw a tall black-faced man rushing towards him.

"I'm afraid you won't make it!" Seeing this, Deng Qiang also gave up the Huashan Army soldiers around him, and directly killed Li Erhei.

The two armies fought, and Li Xin and Zhou Tong led the people to finally kill the enemy formation, and then turned around and killed back. I have to say that the soldiers under Deng Qiang are indeed different, and the battle is extremely tenacious, unlike the previous Fu Qin soldiers and horses, if the army formation is penetrated, it will basically be a chaotic situation.

The two sides fought for more than half an hour, and the two sides were injured by each other, in contrast, although the soldiers under Deng Qiang's command were good in combat, they encountered the elite soldiers of the Huashan Army, and they could not get any benefits. Especially under the repeated onslaught of the cavalry, at this time the two wings were already unable to hold on, and they all converged back to the middle.

"Kill!" At this moment, I saw a fire dragon suddenly appear in the east, and then a series of shouts of killing surged from that direction. Li Xin's thousands of soldiers and horses left behind before finally arrived at this time.

"It's not good, there are more and more Huashan troops, if they continue to fight, it will inevitably be a big defeat and a loss." Deng Qiang, who had fought with Li Erhei for hundreds of rounds, couldn't help but feel anxious after discovering this scene at this time.

After thinking about it for a while, he hurriedly attacked several times and temporarily forced Li Erhei to retreat.

"Your Majesty, how are they? Have you ever evacuated as planned? After beckoning the soldiers behind him, Deng Qiang hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty and the others, we have been evacuated for more than an hour, and we should be dozens of miles away at this moment!"

"Okay, give the order to retreat, and the army will slowly retreat to the west of the city and move in the direction of the Great Earthquake Pass!" Hearing this, Deng Qiang couldn't help but feel relieved, and hurriedly ordered.

The task of delaying the Huashan Army by his own people is over, and if they continue to fight at this time, it will be very worthwhile to compensate themselves. Deng Qiang is a smart man, he will not fight for the courage of this moment, and saving the lives of his subordinates is the most important thing.

Soon, all the soldiers and horses under Deng Qiang approached him, formed a military formation, and used bows and arrows and shields to block the rear! Deng Qiang personally escorted the formation in the back, slowly retreating all the way to the west of Kuaicheng.

"These people are really not ordinary, the battle has been so chaotic, and they can still form a military formation so quickly, seeing the way they retreat, they are not in a hurry at all." As soon as the enemy retreated, Li Xin immediately gathered the army and slowly pressed towards the other party.

There was always a distance of several hundred meters between the two sides, Li Xin and others with cavalry in front, infantry in the rear, and Deng Qiang behind them.

"Why don't we go over it? Although their military formation is quite neat, as long as we rush over, we should be able to break through! Li Erhei and Deng Qiang fought a big battle but there was no result, at this time it was the time when the fighting spirit was monstrous, and he said unwillingly.

"The further west you go, the narrower the road becomes, and the mountains are densely forested and steep in cliffs. In this case, we rashly pursue the past, once we fall into the enemy's ambush, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. When the time comes, let alone the soldiers below, even we ourselves may not be able to come back alive! Moreover, we have been fighting for a day and a night, and the soldiers have been exhausted from such a long march in a row! It's already powerless to fight anymore! Li Xin shook his head.

"Then let's just let them escape?" Li Erhei naturally understands this truth, but after all, he can't let it go! After all, if they escaped, I am afraid it would be difficult to catch them.

"Run away, run away! With our strength, there is no other way for the time being. As long as they quit Guanzhong, they won't want to come back in the future! When we have enough strength, we will fight to Longxi and destroy them in one fell swoop! Li Xin said lightly.

Looking at the overall situation, he naturally will not fight for the gains and losses of this time. Li Erhei is a pure general, so he only has the matter of war in his eyes. But Li Xin is different, as the supreme commander of the Huashan Army, he has to think about many things! For example, the matter of logistical support, as the battle line is lengthened, it will inevitably become a great problem.

Naturally, there is no problem in Guanzhong, but it is too difficult to transfer to the land of Longxi. Huan Wen had to retreat in Guanzhong just now because of this problem, and Li Xin naturally couldn't go to this thunder.

In addition, it was completely dark at this time, and the plains were better, and you could see clearly when there were torches. But when you go to the mountains and forests, it will be too dangerous. However, since they want to drive the other party out of the pass, they naturally have to guard the surroundings, and they can't run back very easily.

"Zhou Tong, you take 2,000 men and horses and 500 cavalry to the north, pass through Yongxian County and quickly rush to Longguan, if the enemy is not defended, then occupy it and hold it, so that the enemy's way to the west can be guarded!" After thinking about it for a while, Li Xin said to Zhou Tong on the side.

"Yes, I'll take someone there!" Zhou Tong hurriedly responded, turned his horse's head and divided his troops.

Li Xin continued to follow behind Deng Qiang with a large team of men and horses unhurriedly, the other party was fast and he was fast, and the other party was slow and slow, in short, he just didn't fight. Slowly, Deng Qiang naturally saw his purpose, so he calmly withdrew towards the ancient road to the west.

This ancient road was in the Han and Tang dynasties, and like Longguan Road, it was the main road to Qinzhou in Longxi through Guanzhong. Through the southwest of Fengxiang County in later generations, all the way to the west, but Longguan Road is the official post road, and this ancient road is more like a side road.

Therefore, people who generally go to the land of Longxi from Guanzhong, if they want to be convenient, usually take the ancient road, and if they want to be safe and comfortable, they generally take the wide Longguan Road. Because during the Northern Wei Dynasty, a Nanyou County was established at the beginning of the ancient road, so this ancient road was also called the Nanyou Ancient Road in later generations.

But there is a three-way intersection in the middle of the ancient road, to the northeast can be connected to Longguan Road, to the west you can directly enter Longxi Qinzhou, to the southeast, after passing through the mountainous area, you can enter Guanzhong.

Deng Qiang and the others came in a hurry, and they should not have known in advance that Fu Chang and the others had already begun to retreat westward, so they should not divide their troops to occupy Longguan. As long as Zhou Tong can get ahead of them, then basically speaking, he will be able to control the post road to Longguan in the west. This is definitely a great benefit for the safety of Guanzhong.

Moreover, Longguan is located in the middle of Longguan Road, just on the top of Longshan, which can play a role in monitoring and deterring the entire Qinzhou land in Longxi.

Obviously, it can be seen that in the following time, the Huashan Army and the remnants of Fu Qin should have a period of confrontation on both sides of Longxi. Whoever occupies Longguan will occupy the initiative, and can attack and retreat.

Slowly, Deng Qiang's men and horses had already retreated into the valley, and the terrain here became rugged and narrow, and after the large group of men and horses entered it, they basically filled the entire valley. In this way, even if Li Xin and the others wanted to rush over, it would not be so easy.

"Stop! Just keep it here, and chase after dawn! Li Xin waved his hand to stop the army and stationed on the spot to rest.

Hearing this, all the troops couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, everyone's military discipline was still good, and they fell directly on the spot. On the other side, Deng Qiang and the others finally stopped following Li Xin at this time, and their nervous hearts finally let go.

"Hurry up, I'll lead the people to break off, you go to chase Your Majesty and them first!" Deng Qiang hurriedly said to his generals.

He didn't know when Li Xin would call, but he knew that Hua Shanjun should not let go of himself and the others so easily. If you don't take advantage of this time to hurry back and join the team, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back after a long time.

Under such a tacit understanding, the distance between the two sides widened wider and wider, and only after the other party's figure completely disappeared did Li Xin order the army to camp on the spot and rest. As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the Huashan Army fell to the ground, and soon they shouted loudly.

Seeing this scene, Li Xin couldn't help but shake his head and didn't say anything. He took Li Erhei and the cavalry to guard the surroundings, and at the same time took care of these soldiers who were sleeping on the spot.

There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, Li Xin woke everyone up, and except for a thousand foot soldiers, the others were sent back first.

After all, now that Guanzhong has just been defeated, if the emptiness is too much, I am afraid that it will be taken advantage of by those who have a heart. And himself, together with Li Erhei, took these thousand soldiers and horses and continued to chase Deng Qiang and others.

Along the way, they were very cautious, and for safety, they deliberately hit the nearby mountain people to lead the way. Because of the fear that the enemy would have an ambush on the road, the speed of travel on this road was not very fast.
