Chapter 253: Jiannan Suppresses the Rebellion (22)
A ray of slanting sun shot out from the western horizon, scattering wisps of slanting light over the wilderness where thousands of men and horses were running, and the old elder who pulled the shadows from directly behind.
After Chen Jingxuan escaped from the south gate of Yazhou, he initially had 20,000 or 30,000 horses under his command, but when he passed through Rao on the way to the southeast to Jiazhou, he was blocked by the long-awaited Thunder Pioneer Regiment. Although Pan Zhigang did not succeed in blocking and capturing Chen Jingxuan, he still led 3,000 elite cavalry to rush and kill a few back and forth in the opponent's army, and forcibly scattered the rebels who were nearly ten times higher than his own number, killing and wounding countless rebels, and capturing 7,000 or 8,000 soldiers alone.
Before the prisoners were completely recruited, Pan Zhigang separated a part of the elite and his wounded brothers to stay, and he once again ordered 1,050 elite cavalry, reorganized, and continued to pursue and kill the fleeing rebel main force.
Soon after Pan Zhigang left, Lin Feng and Li Xiaofeng galloped over with two thousand elites, and after briefly asking the generals who were left behind, they ordered some things that needed attention, and then continued to chase.
What gave Pan Zhigang a headache was that Chen Jingxuan actually walked all the way, lost the ambush all the way, and drove the road for less than half an hour, and encountered three groups of ambushes on the way. Although the number of people encountered each time is not large, they are all desperate masters, and they are endless, so that Pan Zhigang wastes half of his time dealing with these people.
In the following half an hour, Pan Zhigang unexpectedly encountered two formed armies one after another, and it was obvious that these two armies of 500 men each were led by Chen Jingxuan's descendants. When they encountered the first team, Pan Zhigang and others solved it quite quickly, but the last remnants of dozens of people were never resolved, and they were always harassed at the back of the team and did not fight head-to-head.
In desperation, Pan Zhigang had no choice but to allocate 200 people to stay and deal with the other party again, and he took the rest of the people to continue to catch up. The second team not only learned from the experience of the former, but also continued to carry it forward, from the moment they met, the other party had no intention of going head-to-head, and directly scattered around Pan Zhigang's team to use bows and crossbows to fight, and at the first opportunity, they rushed forward to besiege and kill the small group that had fallen behind. And when Pan Zhigang turned the team and was about to kill the other party in one fell swoop, the other party would quickly spread around, and Pan Zhigang would not be able to confront him head-on, let alone destroy it in one fell swoop.
Although the pursuit and capture of Chen Jingxuan is a top priority, Pan Zhigang does not dare to give up the lives of hundreds of brothers and go deep alone, not to mention whether he will encounter a similar situation in the future, Pan Zhigang himself does not dare to guarantee. Therefore, in the end, they had to stay all, accompany each other, and find opportunities to kill them one by one.
Although this rebel army saw Pan Zhigang's thoughts, they did not flee immediately, but continued to stay where they were, continuing to stalemate with Pan Zhigang, anyway, they understood that as long as they delayed the Benlei Pioneer Regiment for some more time, they would give the main general Chen Jingxuan more opportunities to retreat.
However, the consequence of this was that Lin Feng and others, who arrived from the rear quickly, were outflanked from both sides, and directly dumpled this rebel army fighting a 'shameless' guerrilla war, and there was not even a single living person left, and it was completely swallowed up by the elite of the Feng family army that suddenly arrived.
After briefly inquiring about Pan Zhigang's battle situation, Lin Feng asked the other party to send back all the wounded soldiers under his command, and selected more than 300 uninjured elite soldiers, joined forces, and pursued Chen Jingxuan again.
As for Chen Jingxuan, who escaped, it was relatively easy, anyway, all the way to escape, he only needed to keep leaving people to ambush and drag the footsteps of the Feng family's pursuers, and the rest was to desperately urge the horses to hurry. Most of the generals who followed Chen Jingxuan to escape from Yazhou belonged to the lineage cultivated by Chen Jingxuan, although they were scattered a lot when they were attacked by the Benlei Pioneer Regiment for the first time, they were able to still stay by Chen Jingxuan's side, even if their ability was not high, their loyalty to Chen Jingxuan was enough to be visible.
The two teams of 500 people alone were led by Chen Jingxuan's two henchmen, although Chen Jingxuan was extremely reluctant to send the two to death, but compared to his own life, Chen Jingxuan still had to make a painful decision. Until this time, there were less than 3,000 people around Chen Jingxuan, and under the strong request of the two henchmen, Chen Jingxuan reluctantly allocated 500 people to the two of them to cut off the queen.
But if the current five hundred people want to fight guerrilla warfare with the more than 2,000 elites led by Lin Feng and drag down the footsteps of the Feng family's army, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream. When the two sides met, Lin Feng directly didn't give the other party a chance to disperse, or Lin Feng didn't intend to let go of any of the other party in his heart. After all, Lin Feng also knew very well how to continue to follow Chen Jingxuan in this situation, although he could not be said to be as loyal as the dead soldiers he met in the southern city of Yazhou, but the decision that the other party had already made would definitely not be changed easily, and the best way was to kill him directly, once and for all.
What's more, Lin Feng is also very aware of his own situation, although all the people he leads are elite people, but after all, he is still a little blind to the strength of Chen Jingxuan's side, in this case, Lin Feng will definitely not take any risks. Moreover, what he needs most at this time is to capture Chen Jingxuan, and then quickly return to Yazhou, after all, General Wang Hongwang, who stayed in Yazhou, is not a simple role, and the other party is still ambitious.
After solving the two broken teams left by Chen Jingxuan again, the sky had turned dark, and the night had begun to gradually erode the earth, Li Xiaofeng and Pan Zhigang were worried that there would be some accidents if they chased them overnight, so they suggested that Lin Feng rest in place or go back to the city directly, but Lin Feng didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, and he didn't give the two of them a chance to say more, so he directly scolded the two of them, and then continued to hurry.
Regardless of whether Lin Feng and the others would chase after him, Chen Jingxuan, who ran away, did not dare to stop for a moment, and even the troops behind him began to become fewer and fewer. What's more, after nightfall, I gradually felt the fear of darkness, and after my mind gradually cleared up, I began to slowly reduce the speed of the war horse, until I was about to fall behind, and when no one noticed me, I pulled the horse into the darkness on one side, and then beat the war horse fiercely, quickly broke away from the team, and became a deserter one after another.
Chen Jingxuan actually knows all kinds of situations in the team, if it is in peacetime, Chen Jingxuan will not hesitate to send troops to chase and kill, and will never tolerate deserters in the army under his command. And in this situation, Chen Jingxuan is also dumb and can't say that he has suffered from Coptis chinensis. The only thing left is to sigh and sigh in my heart, expressing a deep powerlessness over this.
