Chapter 257: Jiannan Suppresses the Rebellion (26)
The weather conditions were indeed as Pan Zhigang said, and they were ruthlessly said by Lin Feng before! After the soldiers were divided into three ways, it didn't take long for the sky to start raining, and it was a downpour like beans, not only that, but this hard-won heavy rain had no intention of stopping at all, and even the trend of gradually becoming smaller was not seen.
After the division of troops, they began to follow the traces of the horse's hooves on the ground to continue to chase, less than half an hour, the entire road has been covered by rain, and the horse's casual hooves can splash more than a meter high, and more importantly, on the dirt road, the weight of the cavalry is enough to make every hoof of the war horse sink into the mud, and the overall marching speed is greatly reduced.
At the same time, the physical strength of the war horse could not withstand such consumption, and it had already galloped for a day and a night, although there was a rest time in the middle, but it was too short, and it was too late for the war horse to get enough rest. Among the hundreds of people led by Lin Feng, only the sweaty horse that Lin Feng rode was different, as if he had never indulged himself so much, the sweaty horse was like crazy, galloping wildly in the heavy rain. The hairs on the neck that were stained with too much dust were also washed by the heavy rain, and under the dark sky, the bright red blood flowed rapidly in the veins, like a bright red collar with a bright night, which was very beautiful.
"Chirp." Suddenly, Lin Feng took the reins in his hand and slightly stopped the gallop of the "Crazy Horse" under his crotch, but in exchange for a dissatisfied neighing sound from the other party, but the sweaty horse still slowed down and gradually stopped, and then shook his head and snorted a few times in protest.
"Just run fast!!" Lin Feng was also a little dissatisfied, and smiled and scolded and reached out to pat the head of the sweaty horse a few times, which made the other party a little quieter.
Stretched out his hand to wipe a handful of the rain that flowed wantonly on his face, rode his horse around, through the thick rain curtain, only to see that the army behind him had been thrown out of more than 100 meters away by himself, he couldn't help but sigh, his expression was a little unwilling, and he was a little lonely, and muttered to himself: "Hey! It seems that God doesn't want to die Chen Xiao'er yet! ”
Li Xiaofeng and Pan Zhigang's two teams of men and horses were basically the same as Lin Feng's first journey, and after chasing them for a short time, they completely lost their routes, and had no choice but to return to the army to join them. However, at the beginning, Li Xiaofeng was not willing to withdraw his troops, but under the strong efforts of Song Mu and other henchmen, he had no choice but to give up.
Before night completely fell, the three groups of people and horses reunited, but the heavy rain still didn't stop, and even there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger, which made it difficult for Lin Feng and the others who were chasing after them, and they wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain, but there was nowhere to avoid this wilderness, and they couldn't even find a little dry place, and almost all of them were subjected to the ravages of this sudden rainstorm.
In desperation, Lin Feng had no choice but to lead this "water army" and retreat to Yazhou in the rain overnight, completely giving up his plan to continue to pursue Chen Jingxuan. When retreating, it was obviously much more difficult than when pursuing, and under the ravages of the downpour, the road in the field was extremely difficult to walk, and it took twice as long as the pursuit to rush back to Yazhou. After returning to the city, three days had passed since they went out of the city to pursue the rebels, which also transferred the generals such as Liu Yonghao, who was left behind in Yazhou, and Zhuge Cheng, who was in the Fengjia army, to be anxious.
After three days, the normal order of Yazhou City has been basically restored, but because of the heavy rain, there are not many people in sight on the streets. According to Zhuge Cheng's report, after the complete occupation of Yazhou, General Wang tried to obtain the right to occupy Yazhou from Liu Yonghao, but in the end Liu Yonghao temporarily passed it on various premature reasons.
Moreover, Xiao Liuzi, the former "guest" of the Feng Family Army, had already taken up the post of Yazhou Assassin at this time, and he was still extremely cooperative with the Feng Family Army in maintaining order in the city and pacifying the people. And in the past three days, General Wang has not been idle at all, in addition to establishing a good relationship with Liu Yonghao in private, he is rushing to divide the prisoners with the Feng family army, collect and surrender troops, and expand his strength.
Because of Lin Feng's absence, except for a fierce dispute between Yin Bo and him, Zhuge Cheng and Meng Hong, who stayed in charge, were still a little indulgent to General Wang's approach. The reason why the two of them did this was not anything else, but they clearly understood that as soon as Lin Feng returned to the city, General Wang's end would come.
After entering the city, Lin Feng did not stop at all, and even when he entered Chen Jingxuan's mansion, he didn't even change his dry clothes, and met with the heroes in this battle in the front hall.
After making a concession to Liu Yonghao, Lin Feng began to summarize everyone's exploits one by one as the envoy of the thieves and the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses.
After hearing about his military exploits and the reward that Lin Feng was about to play, everyone in the hall immediately cheered, and naturally they couldn't help but congratulate each other. Among them, even General Wang and his old subordinates, and even several generals who defected as quickly as possible after the city was broken, also joined in, talking and laughing one by one, clasping hands and fists with each other, and touting and praising each other is naturally indispensable.
The scene in front of him made Lin Feng feel a chill from the bottom of his heart, even Lin Feng himself was about to be deceived by the scene in front of him, it seemed that this big battle to break through Yazhou had nothing to do with himself or even the entire Feng family army, just relying on these shameless people who were "grass on the wall" in front of him.
"Don't be busy congratulating the generals! Ben Shuai still has some things to arrange! Lin Feng frowned, exchanged a look with Liu Yonghao, who had always maintained a smile on his face, coughed lightly, interrupted everyone's conversation and laughter, and said loudly: "Although this battle is won, the rebel general Chen Jingxuan is still alive!" In case of change, Ben Shuai decided to wave the army to Jiazhou immediately when the rain stopped! Go all out and take Jiazhou! Wipe out the rebels once and for all! ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that Lin Feng wanted to fight quickly, and take this opportunity to beat Chen Jingxuan to death in one fell swoop, so everyone began to nod in agreement.
"Wang Hong listens to orders!" Lin Feng glanced around everyone, and finally fixed his gaze on General Wang, who was very close to him and ranked high, and ordered in a deep voice: "In the near future, rectify your troops and horses!" On the day when the rain stopped, I went to Jiazhou with Ben Shuai! ”
Wang Hong didn't expect Lin Feng to suddenly call himself, he was slightly stunned at first, and then he was happy in his heart! And Wang Hong has also been happy in recent days, because of the connivance of Zhuge Cheng, Meng Hong and others, Wang Hong took advantage of the rare opportunity to quickly expand his soldiers and horses to nearly 40,000 people. It is even on a par with the Feng family's army after the incorporation and surrender of troops.
was immersed in the joy of successfully sitting in the position of the envoy of the festival, Wang Hong couldn't care about Lin Feng's intentions in doing this, but he just thought that if he captured Jiazhou, his name would appear in the merit book again, and then the holy decree issued by the imperial court to him, I don't know what more titles will be given! Hurriedly came out and hugged his fists to receive the order: "Wang Hong takes the order!" ”
