Half a day later, on a road to Lizhou in Shiqiao Town, Han Hu looked at the corpses of the Ming army in one place, and his face was blue.

"Something really happened, it seems that the thieves have long expected that we will not have enough shells."

Unexpectedly, he came quickly with five thousand Ying Long troops, but he still didn't have time!

"General, now that the cannonballs have been destroyed by the thief army, what should we do, should we return to Chengdu?" A Ying Long Junqian asked Han Hu.

"No return." Han Hu shook his head and said: "There are not enough shells, and the city wall of Chengdu cannot collapse, it is difficult for us to forcibly break through Chengdu, even if we go back, it will not help, there is no shortage of our five thousand Yinglong troops there, and the most important thing now is to get the cannonballs to Chengdu!" ”

If Chengdu cannot be attacked, the army can only return in vain, which will greatly blow the majesty of the imperial court and the prestige of the Ying Long army, and will also boost the arrogance of the thieves.

"What are you going to do?" Mr. Qian asked.

"No, since we have come here, we can only go to Lizhou to escort us in person, I don't believe that the thieves can even destroy the cannonballs escorted by our Yinglong army!" Han Hu's eyes flashed coldly, the combat effectiveness of the five thousand Ying Long army was no worse than tens of thousands of thief soldiers, Han Hu guessed that the thief soldiers who were ambushed on the line from Lizhou to Chengdu would never exceed 20,000 people, and it was impossible to have the strength to sneak attack the five thousand Ying Long army, this was the safest way.

"What the general said is very true, and we will personally escort the Long Army to Lizhou!" Mr. Qian's eyes lit up and he agreed.

With a decision, Han Hu sent a few Ying Long army scouts back to Chengdu to report the matter to Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu, while he himself led five thousand Ying Long troops to Lizhou!

Although Han Hu sent people back to Chengdu to report to Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu, and personally took 5,000 Ying Long troops to Lizhou to re-escort them, many things often did not go alone.

Li Dingguo had long expected that after the Ming army found out that the shells were destroyed, they might go to transport a batch again, and he naturally couldn't let Han Hu go so smoothly, and it was impossible for him to let the Ying Long army scouts sent by Han Hu go back to Chengdu to report the news here.

"Drive!" Several scouts of the Ying Long Army who returned to Chengdu to report the news were chased and killed by more than 30 thieves sent by Li Dingguo.

The two sides are rapidly planning the gallop of war horses.

"Whew!" One of the Ying Long Army scouts felt an arrow fly past his scalp, and his hair stood on end.

"Where to run!" The thief scouts were almost ten times larger than the Ying Long army scouts.

There were only five scouts in Yinglong's army, while there were thirty-six thieves and scouts sent by Li Dingguo, and the difference in numbers was very large.

"Shit, these pestering puppies!" A scout of the Ying Long army scolded and scolded, eager to restrain the war horse and fight with the thief scout, but they couldn't, they still had an important task, to pass on the news of what happened in Shiqiao Town and Han Hu's decision to take five thousand Ying Long army to Lizhou to personally escort the cannonballs to Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu.

When the thief scouts pursued, they kept bending their bows and shooting arrows!

Several Ying Long Army scouts kept dodging.

"Ahh However, there were too many thief scouts, and the arrows shot were so easy to dodge, and immediately one of the Ying Long scouts was shot in the back by an arrow.

If it weren't for the scout of Ying Long's army desperately grabbing the reins of the war horse, he would have fallen off his horse a long time ago.

The Ying Dragon Scout felt a suffocating pain in his back, and his life was ticking.

Suddenly, the Ying Longjun scout gritted his teeth.

"Brothers, I can't do it, the task is up to you!" After the Ying Long Army scout finished speaking, he grabbed the reins violently, turned his horse's head and fought back towards the pursuing thief scouts behind him, intending to use his last life to buy a little time for the other Ying Long Army scouts.

"Brother!" The four Ying Longjun scouts shouted, looking sadly at the back of the brother's resolute decision.

The scout of the Ying Long Army, who had been heavily rewarded and resolute, heard the shouts of his brothers, he grinned, sat down and galloped very fast, and when he was only a dozen meters away from the oncoming large group of thief scouts, he slammed the reins of the horse that sat down, so that the war horse subconsciously crossed the middle of the road, and he himself jumped up and pounced on one of the thief scouts.

"Boom!" The moment he pounced, the bayonet on his body was drawn.

In the end, the seriously injured Ying Long Army scout tragically died along with a thief scout! At the same time, he also blocked more than 30 thief scouts for a while and a half.

"Yes, Ying Longjun is really crazy!" The leader of the more than thirty thieves scouts looked angrily at the Ying Long Army scouts who died with one of his subordinates, and scolded loudly.

"Keep the pursuit!" The remaining thirty-five thieves continued to chase after the horses and two corpses that stood in the middle of the road.

Li Dingguo gave them a death order, no matter what, no Ming army can be released to pass the news in the direction of Chengdu and Lizhou, and they must all be intercepted and killed!

The fierce chase continues!

The war horse that the Ying Long Army scout belongs to is undoubtedly good, at least a little stronger than the war horse of the thief scout, although the two sides are not much behind, but the thief scout is no longer like the one that can make the bow and arrow reach the Ying Long Army scout, if it is really pursued like this, the thief scout in Chengdu may not be able to intercept and kill all the remaining four Ying Long Army scouts.

"Ge Lao Tzu drop! I thought I could run this way! The leader of the thief scouts smiled coldly, to say that they were familiar with the terrain of Sichuan, how could these Yinglong army scouts be comparable to them.

"Zhou Li, you take a few people to take a shortcut to intercept them in front!" The leader of the thief scouts ordered to one of the thief scouts.

"Yes!" Immediately, this thief scout immediately led several other thief scouts to break away from the large army and chase after them!

The thief scouts were indeed more familiar with the terrain than the Ying Long army scouts, and knew where to take shortcuts.

In just half an hour, the thieves scouts who were copying the path suddenly appeared in front of the four Ying Long army scouts, blocking their way.

The four scouts were taken aback by several thief scouts who suddenly blocked their way, but they reacted immediately, and at the same time took the flintlock pistols they were carrying behind their backs and aimed them at several scouts who were blocking their way.

"Bang! Bang! "Four gunshots rang out, and two thief scouts fell to the ground!

After the shots were fired, the four Ying Long scouts violently threw away their flintlock pistols and drew their bayonets.

The training of the scouts of the Ying Long Army is undoubtedly more powerful than that of the thief scouts, and the Ying Long Army is also worthy of being a strong army in the world, and the individual combat is also not weak, and the remaining three thief scouts were killed in just a few shots!

The four Ying Long scouts then rode their horses again.

"Haha! Where to run! Dozens of meters behind, the leader of the thief scouts laughed.

Although the four Ying Longjun scouts just now quickly solved the few thief scouts who intercepted them on the path, they were still stopped by those thief scouts for a long time, allowing the thirty thief scouts who followed them to chase dozens of meters behind them.

The distance of a few tens of meters was undoubtedly within the range of the bow and arrow of the thief scout.

"Xiu Xiu Xiu" thief scouts shot arrows at the four Ying Long army scouts again!

"Ah" A scout of the Ying Long Army was hit by two arrows in the back, and he couldn't control his fall from his horse and died!

"Brother!" The remaining three Ying Long Army scouts roared.

Behind him, the thieves kept bowing and arrows, and the three Ying Long Army scouts were galloping on their horses, and it was not easy to look back and observe the arrows flying in, so they only relied on premonitions to dodge!

"Ahh In an instant, another Ying Longjun scout was hit by an arrow in the arm!

"Yes, if we continue like this, we will be wiped out!" One of the Ying Longjun scouts, who was not injured, finished speaking, and shouted at the other Ying Longjun scout, who was slightly younger: "Little Four, the task will be handed over to you!" ”

After saying that, he turned his horse's head and killed him backwards.

"Over to you! The Ying Long Army scout who was hit by an arrow in the arm also shouted at the younger Ying Dragon Army scout, and then also turned his horse's head and killed the thirty thief scouts who were chasing after him, intending to help the last younger Ying Long Army scout buy enough time!

It was a tragic battle of pursuit and escape, and in the end, it was impossible to predict whether the last Ying Long Army scout would be able to successfully return to Chengdu and report everything that had happened in Shiqiao Town to Zhou Cao and Qin Liangyu!
