Chapter 546: Picking the Fruits of Victory

On the way to Yilian City, the army of the lieutenants was marching at a normal pace, and they had not received news of the pursuers for half a day, and the lieutenants were a little relieved, but the news of the emperor's death had spread among the army, and the morale of the soldiers was very low.

Wei Wei didn't know who had spread the news, he had already given an order to the relevant insiders not to leak his mouth, but the news still spread, and now it is pointless to investigate who spread it, but fortunately, there are no pursuers behind.

At this time, a cavalryman rode to the front of the team and reported to the captain: "General, we found a Yan army behind our army, about 3,000 people, all of them are foot soldiers!" ”

"What? Yan Jun is catching up? The lieutenant was first shocked when he heard the report, and then he was relieved to hear that this Yan army was all infantry.

"Hmph, even an infantry dare to catch up······ How far are they from here? ”

"General, for more than twenty miles, they have been hanging behind us, but because the distance was too far away for us to be discovered, a few soldiers were left behind with diarrhea, and they were discovered!"

"Is it more than twenty miles?" The lieutenant frowned, although this is the official road leading to Yilian City, the road is not wide, and the surroundings are also rugged, and the cavalry can't run at all under such terrain, even if they want to send people to block it.

As a last resort, the lieutenant had no choice but to order: "Pass the order, the whole army will speed up the march and throw off the Yan infantry behind!" ”

After the order was given, the Wei army's marching speed increased, but its physical strength also increased.

When they arrived at Yilian City, the Wei generals were already quite tired, and the physical strength of the war horses was also seriously lost, Yilian City had already been taken by Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, and the officials in the city were still the former officials, and when they saw the arrival of the Wei army, they immediately went to greet them.

The lieutenant immediately ordered, without saying a word, to arrest these officials, and let them lead the way to the mountain trail leading to Baitan, and the officials who were caught were afraid of death, so they had to take the lieutenant to find the mountain trail, and when the Yan army caught up, the captain's army had already entered the mountain trail to Baitan.

This road is not easy to walk, it took Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan to lead the troops to pursue Yao Zhao's army for four days, and the army of the captains who did not walk the mountain road was simply guilty of marching on such a road, and they couldn't go for thirty miles in a day, and they were caught up by the infantry of the Yan army behind them in less than two days.

But when the Wei army behind the palace found that the Yan army was catching up quickly, the soul was suddenly overwhelmed, and the news came to the lieutenant here, and the lieutenant finally understood why the Yan army only sent infantry to pursue, and did not send cavalry to pursue, it turned out that the general of the Yan army had long expected that he would take the mountain trail to Baitan, and the cavalry could not go fast at all on such a road, and it was twice as slow as the infantry march.

In desperation, the lieutenant can only leave a building of troops to block, this order is simply a mistake, the soldiers who stayed to block the general complained, the Yan army just caught up and did not start to fight, these people scattered and fled, but in such an environment there is no way to escape, many people fell off the cliff and died in the process of escaping, more people got lost in the deep mountains and then could not find their way home, countless people died of disease and starvation.

The main force of the Wei army was soon caught up by the Yan infantry, and the captain had to grit his teeth and lead the generals to turn around and engage with it, the cavalry of the Wei army has been dominating the world in such an environment suffered an unprecedented defeat, and was beaten by the Yan army infantry, and completely collapsed, and the captain left all the soldiers and horses under the protection of his own hands and fled all the way to Baitan, only to be spared.

White Wolf City.

After Guo Sheng fled from Tumen Ridge with the remnants of the defeated army, he did not dare to stop and rest all the way, and when he encountered the follow-up troops of 4,000 infantry, he immediately turned to flee to White Wolf City at full speed with them.

When he arrived in White Wolf City, Guo Sheng sent a detective sentry to reconnoitre, and he was relieved to learn that the Wei army was not chasing.

After a whole day of rest, Guo Sheng and the remnants of the defeated generals had not fully recovered, and by the afternoon of the next day, the detective cavalry detective post suddenly came to report: "General, the big thing is not good, the Wei army is chasing after you?" ”

Guo Sheng was surprised: "Where did the Wei army come from?" ”

"It's the Wei army that defeated us yesterday at Tumen Ridge, a total of more than 10,000 people!"

"What? Are they catching up? Why are there thousands more? Guo Sheng looked shocked.

"The general doesn't know that the extra thousands of people are infantry!"

Guo Sheng hurriedly asked, "Where have they been?" ”

"It's more than twenty miles away!"

Guo Sheng couldn't sit still, and immediately ordered: "Immediately order everyone to assemble, hurry up!" ”

"Someone, quickly send someone to inform Gao Cong, let him quickly retreat, don't chase the captain's family, don't go to White Wolf City, take Yilian City to Binhai Road and return to Dragon City!"

After the Yan generals got the order, they didn't even have time to carry grain and grass, only brought weapons and horses, and when the assembly was completed, Guo Sheng led them to quickly retreat in the direction of Longcheng, and threw all the property, baggage, grain and grass collected on the road and a large number of people and men in White Wolf City.

When Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan chased the soldiers to the White Wolf City, swaggered into the city and saw the mountains of belongings and baggage, Zhao Junsheng smiled and said: "You see, Guo Sheng is also too interesting, they kindly helped us pick up the belongings and baggage, and put them neatly, I am still very grateful to him!" ”

"Hahaha······" The generals laughed.

Zhao Junsheng instructed the lieutenant of the baggage battalion: "Wei Ang, these will be handed over to you, all of them will be loaded and taken away, if there are not enough people, some people will be recruited!" ”

"Yes, General!"

In the next two days, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led their troops to continue to pursue Guo Sheng and his remnants of the defeated generals, and there were corpses and discarded baggage of the Wei army everywhere along the way, and the Yan army did not pick them up, so they were abandoned on the road and no one cared about them.

"Miserable!" Zhao Junsheng chased all the way and saw the corpses of the Wei generals who could be seen everywhere on the side of the road, and couldn't help but shake his head, these people were all chased and killed by the Yan army, and it can be seen from the fact that most of their wounds were in the back.

"Why bother losing your life for the sake of your money!" Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this tragic situation, Mulan said to Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, they are so pitiful! ”

"There must be something hateful about the wretched!"

Zhao Junsheng said a word, but he still gave Mulan a face, and instructed Cao Jiao: "Send some people to tell the nearby villagers that if they are willing to help bury these corpses, bury a corpse and give a bucket of rice!" ”

"General Rende, these fallen soldiers can go on the road with peace of mind! The nearby villagers will also be grateful to the general for giving them enough food to survive! Cao Jiao clenched his fists and turned to leave.

As Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led the troops to pursue, they actually contained many scattered Wei troops along the way, and these Wei troops who were hiding ran out to join Zhao Junsheng's team after hearing the news, and they actually contained more than 5,000 people in two days.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan also didn't expect that they would be able to contain so many scattered Wei troops after killing, and after statistics, a total of more than 5,760 people were contained, respectively from Tuoba Qiu, Tuoba Qi and Yuanhe's teams, these people were worried about being chased and killed by the Yan army, so they all hid.

"Bai Jinguang, this general ordered you to be the commander of these more than 5,000 troops, put them into a simple formation, and then reorganize and practice again after returning to Youzhou!" Zhao Junsheng gave an order to Bai Jinguang, and for the more than 5,700 cavalry that he had obtained for nothing, he naturally put them under his command.

The more than 5,700 cavalry of the Wei army lost their main general, and their establishment was also lost, and they all became stragglers, and they did not resist Zhao Junsheng's reorganization, and in fact they could not resist, so they could only obey orders.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan led the troops to pursue Guo Sheng's remnants of the defeated generals, and they did not stop passing through Shicheng along the way, and the Yan army outside Shicheng was also taken away by Guo Sheng, and this chase was chased outside Longcheng, and when the two led the army to arrive outside Longcheng, the Yan army had just entered the city and was almost caught up.

Zhao Junsheng stopped and looked up at the west tower of Longcheng, the Yan army on the city wall looked nervous, as if facing a great enemy, and Feng Hong was even more frightened when he received the news.

Hua Mulan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Brother Junsheng, give the baggage camp two days to recover the baggage and property that were discarded along the way, and load it and transport it away, it should be enough, right?" ”

"Enough!"

Hua Mulan ordered to a personal soldier next to her: "Go and tell Wei Ang that his baggage battalion has two days to collect all the discarded baggage along the way and load it away!" ”’

The soldiers took the order and left.

Then Hua Mulan ordered the whole army to enter the camp left before, the ready-made camp, just live in it, and the Yan army didn't have time to tear it down in the past few days, which just saved Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan a lot of trouble.

The Yan generals at the head of the city saw that the Wei army had entered the camp outside the city again, and thought that the Wei army was going to attack the city again, and they all became worried.

For two days in a row, the Yan army in Longcheng City did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and all of them raised their vigilance to prevent the Wei army from sneaking attack.

Inside the royal palace.

Feng Hong looked at Guo Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, so angry that he really wanted to order Guo Sheng to be dragged down and cut down, but looking at Guo Sheng's miserable face, he felt unbearable, and Guo Sheng was already the only remaining general of Yan Guoshuo, and the other generals were either not talented, or their prestige was not good, or they were still young, they were not enough to take on the big responsibility, only this Guo Sheng still had some ability and prestige.

"Forget it, I can't blame you for this matter, you have also saved more than 10,000 people for me, although the loss is not small, but it has also severely damaged the Wei army, at least they will not be able to attack my Yan country again in three or five years. You are still in charge of the defense of the city wall, don't give the widow any more trouble, Yan Guo can't stand the toss, understand? ”

Guo Shengru was amnestied, and kowtowed again and again: "Thank you for the grace of the king of heaven, the minister will do his best to defend the dragon city, and never let the Wei army stare at the city wall!" ”

At this moment, a soldier quickly walked in and reported: "Qi Qi Heavenly King, Great Marshal, the Wei army has withdrawn!" ”

Feng Hong and Guo Sheng glanced at each other when they heard this, and Feng Hong immediately asked, "Did you really withdraw the army?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, they withdrew with a swagger!"

Feng Hong was suspicious by nature, looked at Guo Sheng and asked, "Could Wei Jun be playing some tricks?" ”

Guo Sheng was defeated by Zhao Junsheng's return pistol, and he was jealous of him, and he didn't dare to be careless again, so he said to Feng Hong: "Heavenly King, the minister thinks it's better to be cautious, it's better to send a detective out of the city to investigate!" ”

Feng Hong was also frightened, and immediately agreed: "Okay, you can arrange this matter, and report it immediately if you have news!" ”
