Since the initial defeat under Yan Kui's men, Zhang Yehong realized that this Jin army was a rare elite, learned a lesson, and no longer rushed to fight with it.

Instead, he led the army not far and followed behind the Jin army, with sufficient strength advantage, using attack and harassment tactics, although Yan Kui received a lot of heads, but also successfully delayed the retreat of the Jin army, and consumed the already tired physical strength of the Jin cavalry.

At the same time, the most important gain of Zhang Yehong's approach was that the retreat of the Jin army became slow, while the Zhou army in Luoxian and the surrounding vicinity continued to arrive at a rapid pace.

On the afternoon of the 15th day of the 14th lunar month of Liyang

Zhang Yehong has gathered nearly 20,000 Jin troops in his hands, and in the south of Tanshan, he almost successfully surrounded the Jin army, but fortunately, Yan Kui was alert and noticed something wrong in advance, and took advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the Zhou army had not yet been formed, and quickly led troops to break through, so as not to become a turtle in the urn.

However, although it successfully broke through, it rushed through thousands of Zhou troops to block and intercept layer by layer, and the Jin army paid a heavy price.

Nearly 1,000 soldiers were killed in battle, two Jin generals were martyred, and countless people were injured, even Yan Kui himself, if it weren't for the Guangshan monk who quickly pulled him, he would have to hang some color on his body.

After the second confrontation with Zhang Yehong, the predicament of the Jin army became more and more difficult.

…………

"Phew."

Holding the water bag and taking a big sip of water, Yan Kui spat and mixed the dust in his mouth, looked at the ground with cold eyes for a long time, and suddenly turned his head to look at the Jin general next to him.

"The main force of the Zhou army is now a few miles away from us."

Jin was a little stunned by Yan Kui's sudden question, and was stunned for a moment before hurriedly replying: "It is about eight or nine miles behind us, but there is still a part of it on the left back, and the distance is remote, ten miles away."

In addition, according to the scouts, there should be a Zhou army in front of us, there are not many people, only a thousand people, and they should have just arrived from a camp. ”

Yan Kui lowered his head and groaned, suddenly turned over and dismounted, summoned the guards to take out the map, and pondered on the map according to the words of the Jin general, and after a while, he pointed to the Jin army of more than 1,000 people mentioned by the Jin general just now, and said thoughtfully.

"This Zhou army has just arrived, and the situation is not clear yet, can we use them and let them block the pursuers behind us."

After hearing this, General Jin thought about it carefully, and shook his head: "Since the other party came straight to Tanshan, he must have had contact with Zhang Yehong, and there is a high probability that the two sides will have the agreed banner and code. ”

When Yan Kui heard this, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't take it too seriously, the team of thousands of people, even if they helped them block Zhang Yehong, it was estimated that they would not last long.

Turning his head to forget about this immature strategy, Yan Kui turned to think about other combat plans, racked his brains, and tried his best to make Zhang Yehong behind him stop.

…………

There is no way, the Jin army has been fighting for a day, morale is low, the army is sluggish, not to mention, the most important thing is that the physical strength is insufficient, if you don't want to find a way to take a breath, you won't be able to stand up without Zhang Yehong catching up.

Therefore, Yan Kui wanted to find an opportunity to make the Zhou army behind him no longer so aggressive, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran/chased.

But it is clear that Zhang Yehong will definitely not go as he wishes, in fact, after being surrounded by Yan Kui in the second battle, Zhang Yehong changed his strategy again.

No longer implemented the pursuit and encirclement plan, but began to fight a war of attrition with the Jin army, Zhang Yehong, who had the advantage of troops, let the marching pursuit speed of his soldiers be divided into fast and slow.

The fast ones followed the Jin army closely, putting pressure on the other party so that they could not get out of the sight of the Zhou army, and the slow ones also took time to rest, rest, relax, replenish their physical strength, and maintain the morale of the army.

The two men and horses changed shifts once an hour, and the pursuit and repair were not delayed, and they were bound to drag down the Jin army, and then take it in one fell swoop.

Although Yan Kui didn't fully understand Zhang Yehong's intentions now, he also figured out a little bit of taste, knowing that it would not work like this, and he had to find a way to break the situation.

It's just that now the Jin army is too disadvantaged, almost everywhere is passive, and it can be broken with a word, Yan Kui thought about it, and decided to use the method he is best at.

Gather troops and horses, turn around and kill the Zhou army, and fight back the opponent, so as to boost your morale and exchange for rest and retreat.

…………

To tell the truth, Yan Kui's method is not clever, and there is even a lot of riskiness.

But the situation is like this, the time is pressing, Yan Kui can't think of other good ways that can achieve immediate results, so he can only take risks.

Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on whether God rewards the face............

"Are you sure that Zhang Yehong is in the Zhou army behind us?"

Yan Kui opened his mouth and asked the Jin general beside him, since he took the risk, then he must pursue the maximum effect, there is a way to shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves and capture kings first, if you can kill Zhang Yehong in one fell swoop, this battle will be fine.

"The last general will go and investigate."

The Jin general, who understood Yan Kui's combat intentions, did not dare to slack off, and immediately got up and got on his horse and went to lead people to confirm Zhang Yehong's traces.

After the Jin generals left, Yan Kui was not idle, and quietly issued an order to gather the remaining available soldiers of the Jin army, but there were only 1,800 people.

That's right, after so many hard battles, the total number of the Jin army is now less than four thousand, and a small half of them are wounded.

Even these 1,800 people, many of them are injured, and this counterattack is really unsuccessful.

After half a pillar of incense, the soldiers and horses were assembled

Yan Kui rode the Red Flame Horse, slowly staring at the 1,800 blood-stained cavalrymen, silent for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence.

"A charge, I am the arrow, I will not retreat, no one can retreat."

The cavalry were silent, but the weapons tightly held in their hands declared their firmness, Yan Kui bowed slightly, and waved the mace he had just replaced in his hand.

"Go with Ben, this group of dogs has been driving us for most of the day, it's time for them to suffer."

Thundered

The horse's hooves shook the sky, the flag fluttered, and the cavalry of the Jin army, who had been holding back the fire all the way, condensed all their anger on the swords and guns, and pounced fiercely on the Zhou army behind them.

…………

Zhang Yehong never thought that the Jin army, who was almost cornered by himself, would have the courage to fight back, and was unexpectedly caught off guard.

Hurriedly lined up to meet the battle, and was defeated by Yan Kui directly and directly charged, the formation was chaotic, Yan Kui took advantage of the situation to lead his troops to rush left and right, and divided the Zhou army into several parts.

Zhang Yehong was furious when he saw this, and showed his handsome banner, while commanding the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to go to contain Yan Kui's cavalry, he blew trumpets and drums to order all departments to move closer to him, preparing to reorganize the army and encircle Yan Kui.

It's just that Yan Kui would let Zhang Yehong get his wish, lead the army to swim away quickly, avoid entanglement with the Zhou army, and then attack Zhang Yehong's Chinese army commander flag from the flank, wanting to take the enemy's head directly.

At this time, the Jin army went up to Yan Kui, the main general, bravely took the lead, down to the ordinary soldiers, desperately served, the whole army gathered together, the combat power soared, and the Zhou army who had not fully reacted was killed.

Seeing Yan Kui rushing towards him with the murderous spirit of the Jin army, Zhang Yehong, who was calmly commanding, was also a little panicked, and was about to retreat back under the protection of his personal guards.

He gathered the last 1,800 cavalry, how much risk he took, and finally killed in front of Zhang Yehong, if he let this guy run away, the effect of the Jin army's return to the horse pistol will be greatly reduced.

Thinking like this, Yan Kui danced wildly with the mace in his hand, and shouted to his subordinates: "Give me a hard rush, and leave Zhang Yehong." ”

When the cavalry of the Jin army heard this, they gritted their teeth one after another, and desperately danced their weapons to increase the intensity of the charge, vowing to kill the generals and capture the flag, leaving Zhang Yehong.

……………

However, the Jin army was brave, and the Zhou army in front of them was also not muddy, and they fought fiercely with the forbidden army near the Shuai Banner, and successfully stopped the Jin army's beheading operation at the cost of almost half of the casualties.

Falling short............

Looking at Zhang Yehong, who was escorted by his own guards and fled away, Yan Kui was furious in his heart, and at the same time full of helplessness.

However, the battle was in full swing, Yan Kui did not have the kung fu to be annoyed, and after scolding two sentences in his mouth, he led the troops to rush in the other direction, although Zhang Yehong ran away, but the Zhou army Shuai Qi was still there, taking advantage of the chaos of the Zhou army, he cut down the Shuai Qi and let them mess up for a while.

It may be that seeing Zhang Yehong's successful escape, those Zhou soldiers who were still desperately fighting with the Jin army just now had their blocking strength greatly reduced, and Yan Kui easily led people to kill next to Shuai Qi, smashed Shuai Qi with a mace, and then roared.

"Zhang Yehong is dead, Zhang Yehong is dead."

The rest of the Jin army responded when they heard this, followed by the roar and spread rumors, for a while, the sound of Zhang Yehong's death resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Zhou army naturally didn't believe it at first, but couldn't bear the loss of the handsome flag.

Zhou Jun looked around, but could not find the handsome flag symbolizing Zhang Yehong, and could not get the order of the Chinese army, and Yan Kui wantonly made trouble and killed in all directions.

Soon, the Zhou soldiers were flustered, and not long after, the Zhou army on the edge of the battlefield collapsed, and then the rout radiated to the entire battlefield.

The Zhou army collapsed.

Yan Kui and the others naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity, and they chased after the scattered Zhou army with a sword, and the results were brilliant.

During this period, Zhang Yehong, who fled to safety, did not fail to try to save the situation and regain control of the situation.

But most of the soldiers of the Zhou army collapsed, scattered and fled, Zhang Yehong was unable to effectively assemble the Zhou army in a short period of time, and Yan Kui was still making trouble on the side, until night, the sky was blank, people could not see, Zhang Yehong could no longer save the defeat of the Zhou army, and Yan Kui was able to return with victory.

……………

Early in the morning of the 16th day of the lunar month

Yan Kui, who had been fully rested, led the remaining 3,200 Jin troops to leave Tanshan and enter the territory of Tuxian County.

At the same time, after a night of busy work, Zhang Yehong reluctantly gathered the scattered 3,000 soldiers and horses, leaving the deputy to continue to collect the rout, he joined the other two Zhou army reinforcements, gathered nearly 10,000 troops, and continued to pursue in the direction of Yan Kui's retreat.

Defeated Yan Kui three times, not to mention the loss of countless soldiers and horses, he almost lost his life, this result made Zhang Yehong, who has been invincible since the war against Jin, feel deeply ashamed.

At this moment, he led his troops to continue to pursue Yan Kui, not only to be able to atone for his crimes, but also to be ashamed and prove his name.

The sixteenth day and night of the lunar month

Under the desperate and rapid march, Zhang Yehong finally caught up with Yan Kui in Tuxian County, because considering that the two sides were not far from the Jin army's territory in Yanlin at this time, Zhang Yehong was afraid that something would go wrong, so he didn't need any attack tactics, and directly relied on superior forces to attack the Jin army.

To put it bluntly, it is to fill in the heads, and exchange two or even three Zhou troops for one Jin army.

Under the desperate fighting style of the Zhou army, the Jin army was defeated and retreated, there was no way, there were too many wounded, and they couldn't afford to fight a tough battle, so they could only retreat while fighting, hoping that the Yanlin Jin army could get the news and send troops to help.

Maybe it is the road of endless people, just when the Jin army has fewer and fewer soldiers and horses, and has entered the Jedi, a Jin army suddenly appeared in the direction of the county seat of Tuxian County.

This Jin army repelled the same serious battle damage of Zhang Yehong's department, and successfully rescued the remaining Jin army, at this time, tens of thousands of Jin troops attacked the grain, and only more than 800 people remained.

……………

Not long after this Jin army left Yan Kui, Wen Xun also brought the Tuxian defenders to kill.

Seeing this, the Jin army did not love war, and led the army back to the direction of Yanlin, Zhang Yehong also wanted to pull Wen Xianqiang to stay on the other side, but Wen Fei refused.

General Wen said that the defenders of Tuxian County and the Yanlin Jin army fought for several days, exhausted, with serious casualties, and came to help him to do the duty of his colleagues in the army, and wanted him and the Jin army to fight to the death, I'm sorry, please forgive me for being powerless.

Zhang Yehong was furious and moved out of Ji Linbing, but as Hou Shizi, how could Wen Pai care about the threat of a criminal general who could not be protected by himself, smiled coldly, and returned to Tuxian with the troops.

After Wen was sent away, Zhang Yehong's face changed several times, and in a fit of anger, he did not return to Luo County, and coerced the remaining Jin army to go south, preparing to defect to Nanchu.

Now, Lao Zhang has also figured it out, save his life first, as for the son of the family, he will find a way to save it when he arrives in Nanchu, if he really can't save it, then marry another wife and have children in Nanchu............
