It turned out that Lin Xiao, who was full of indignation, immediately ordered the whole army to pursue as soon as the reconnaissance battalion and special operations brigade led by Zhang Chenfeng arrived in Guohua.

However, due to the fact that he set off nearly a day later than Sun Kewang's troops, he only encountered many small groups of stragglers along the way, and he never caught up with Sun Kewang's main force, which had become a frightened bird and fled with a girl.

After chasing for two days, when they arrived at the bank of the Hongshui River, the reconnaissance team that came out finally sent back important information, saying that Sun Kewang's army was blocked by Li Dingguo in front of Luobo Pass, and Lin Xiao immediately opened the map and studied it carefully.

Judging from the distance, he is not afraid that Li Dingguo will not be able to stop Sun Kewang, as long as Li Dingguo can hold Sun Kewang for even half a day, with the more than 700 elite soldiers in his hands now, he will be sure to catch up with and completely annihilate this remnant enemy.

What he was more worried about in his heart was that if Li Dingguo fought too hard, the cunning Sun Kewang saw that there was no hope of escaping north, and it was very likely that he would change his route and flee eastward, in that case, there would be no soldiers in the entire northeast of Qiandong to stop him.

Judging from the map, if you run all the way to the northeast along the Guizhou-Guizhou border, it only takes 500 miles to reach Jingzhou, an important border town of Hunan, Guizhou and Guizhou provinces, which is still 100 miles away from Zhu Yujia's Guilin front line, and is still in the hands of the Qing army.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao immediately ordered Zhang Chenfeng to lead the reconnaissance battalion to cross the river to the north and go straight to Luobo Pass, and he personally led more than 100 people of the special operations team to change the route to the east, all the way to the direction of Hechi.

He wants to personally block Sun Kewang's eastward journey, as long as he blocks this direction, no matter where Sun Kewang runs, he is not worried about not being able to catch him.

Sun Kewang must die!

This is the oath he made in front of Li Yuanyinling, and it is also the best way he can think of to pay tribute to the souls of martyrs.

On the other hand, since the special combat personnel under his command have not experienced actual combat since they joined the army, he wants to take this opportunity to temper them well and personally train them.

As a result, the cannon Duan Zhenghong came out again, and he handed over the several artillerymen he brought to Zhang Chenfeng, and he said that he would follow Lin Xiao in everything.

His reason is very simple, He Shouxin's guard company has not yet arrived with Ding Shuai's main force, Lin Xiao only has a communication squad led by Wang Dong, although these childish baby soldiers have also undergone special warfare training, but in this vast mountain, relying on these seventeen or eighteen-year-old dolls to protect Lin Xiao He said that he was not at ease.

If there is a cannon in his section, there is Lin Xiao!

He didn't even want to lead troops, he just wanted to be by Lin Xiao's side all the time, and it didn't matter if he was reprimanded by Lin Xiao several times for this, he knew that in fact, Lin Xiao couldn't do anything about him, and he would rather be removed from his post to fulfill his promise!

Rushed all the way, before he could reach Hechi, Zhang Chenfeng reported the battle situation of Luo Boguan from the radio, and after learning the specific time of Li Dingguo's blockade, Lin Xiao immediately deduced that Sun Kewang had not yet run to Hechi.

Immediately ordered Zhang Chenfeng to go north to Zunyi with Li Dingguo's army, and instructed him to concentrate on assisting Li Dingguo in monitoring the movements of the Qing army, and wait for Ding Shuai's main force to arrive before making plans, and leave the rest to him to personally coordinate.

After turning off the radio, Lin Xiao immediately scattered all the entire Situ Zheng's first squadron, divided into several reconnaissance detachments to look around for traces of the cavalry, and personally led Yu Cheng's second squadron to turn north and go straight to the area of Nandanzhou in Qingyuan Prefecture.

Near evening, Sun Kewang's whereabouts were finally discovered in a mountain col, Lin Xiao took Duan Zhenghong and others to quietly enter the mountain pass, and found the guard horse sentry sent by Sun Kewang.

It turned out that although Sun Kewang was at the end of his rope, his marching method was still rigorous, and as soon as the team stopped, dozens of cavalry sentries were sent to swim around, divided into two circles inside and outside to serve as guards.

And these mounted sentinels, there are both open and dark sentinels, Lin Xiao decided to take the soldiers to use special combat skills to clear them one by one first.

At first, the secret sentinels on the periphery of the forest were quietly touched one by one, until they reached the inner circle, because those people were bright sentinels, and the surrounding area was often empty and uncovered, and it was difficult to kill them without alarming the enemy brigade.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao made a gesture and handed these people over to the sniper team, and he personally led the assault team to quietly get close to prepare for the assault.

With the sound of a sniper gun, Lin Xiao was the first to rush out, the assault rifle in his hand continuously sprayed revenge bullets, Duan Zhenghong and the commandos behind him were naturally not far behind, and followed him closely behind him to rush towards the enemy cavalry in the mountain pass.

It's a pity that at this time, Sun Kewang no longer has any people around him, and Sun Kewang is not good-looking, and his clothes are not public, Lin Xiao couldn't find him for a while, and even the condescending snipers on the mountain didn't notice him, just blindly looking for brightly dressed enemy soldiers to name him one by one.

Sun Kewang's vigilance was extremely high, and as soon as he heard the gunshots, he fled on horseback, and as a result, after a battle, he only killed Feng Shuangli, the deputy general, but Sun Kewang took advantage of the chaos to slip away.

It turned out that as soon as the battle began, Sun Kewang, who was in a hurry, slipped on horseback and slipped away on the mountain road in the northeast direction that had been observed, while Feng Shuangli was blindly concerned about the thousands of troops he was active in the Hechi area, so he parted ways with Sun Kewang and broke through to the southeast under the escort of several personal soldiers, but he happened to fall into the sniper's field of vision.

After cleaning up the battlefield, after Lin Xiao found that Sun Kewang had slipped away, he immediately ordered Yu Cheng to lead his team to rush to Hechi with hundreds of prisoners and a large number of horses, and he summoned the first squadron to continue tracking all the way to the northeast.

……

Along the way, Lin Xiao was deeply shocked by the scene that came into view, and his mood gradually became heavy.

Most of this area is inhabited by ethnic minorities, the poor mountains and bad water are difficult to make a living, after several wars and several disasters and famines, the vast mountains along the way have long been ten rooms and nine empty, in addition to the frequent hungry wolves and wild dogs, often dozens of miles can not see a family.

Although the scenery of the great rivers and mountains is good, as far as the eye can see, it is a barren and uninhabited, and the end is "the white bones are exposed in the wilderness, there is no rooster crying for thousands of miles, the people are left behind, and the thought is broken!" ”。

Xing, the people are bitter! Death, the people suffer!

The most bitter people in the world are always the common people!

……

As the sky became darker and darker, it became more and more difficult to track the traces of the war horses, and there were many forks in the mountain road, so he chased all the way for hundreds of miles without catching up with Sun Kewang.

Lin Xiao, who is proficient in tracking techniques, knows that under this kind of terrain, the speed of the people who are tracking is much slower than the people who are running away, and Sun Kewang has been working hard in Guizhou for many years, and the terrain and landforms are much more familiar than them.

For the sake of safety, he immediately called Zhu Yujia, the commander of the third regiment, through the radio, and ordered him to take his scouts to the Jingzhou Mountains at the junction of Hunan, Guizhou and Guizhou provinces overnight, and spread a big net to wait for Sun Kewang's arrival.

Although among his comrades-in-arms, Ding Shuai, who was the best at tracking, was not around, he believed that Zhu Yujia would also have a way to block Sun Kewang's way.

There was an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, so he didn't believe that Sun Ke could expect to be able to slip out of the mountainous area of Qiandong.
