The cavalry, with their white scarves collared, seemed to crash into a stone cliff like a raging river, and in front of a dense forest growing on the banks of a stream, they smoothly divided into two branches and went around the two wings of the woods.

The cavalry of the forbidden army that pursued them, like a vicious tiger rushing from the rear, they ignored the cavalry team that went around the east flank of the woods to the east of the mountain - there was the main force of the Qiuhu Army retreating south in the direction of the east of the mountain, and there were nearly two thousand cavalry who could quickly dispatch, which was not something that their scout team of less than a hundred cavalry could provoke, they pursued it close to the west flank of the woods, and bit the twenty or thirty cavalry of the White Turban Army who fled to the southwest.

The Chishan Army originally wore a sweat scarf to distinguish the enemy from the enemy who wore the clothes and armor of the Chu army, and then also retained the habit of tying the sweat towel between the collars.

Seventy or eighty cavalrymen of the forbidden army were full of thoughts that they would be able to cut off more than a dozen white turban army heads today, and the battle function they obtained made them eat and drink spicy food fiercely, shouting and preparing to destroy the war horses under their command, excitedly waving short spears and long knives in their hands, and some people took off the longbow behind their backs, and waited to close the distance, so they drew their arrows and shot them with bows.

The flanks of the forbidden army's cavalry array were exposed, and the ambush soldiers who were ambushed in the woods took their crossbows and fired a salvo from the bushes towards the forbidden army's cavalry formation, and then the ambushes of the second and third teams stepped forward with their crossbows, and rows of crossbow arrows broke through the air and shot quickly and densely, as if the wind sounded at the edge of the woods.

The sound of killing was everywhere, and the cavalry of the forbidden army was embarrassed and lost sight of one or the other.

A horse fell headlong to the ground along with the Praetorian cavalry on its back; The other horse folded its front hooves and stuck its head in the grass.

In the blink of an eye, a dense swarm of locusts knocked eight or nine forbidden cavalry off their horses.

The other cavalry of the forbidden army did not know the reality of the ambush in the woods, so they could only dodge outside in a hurry, huddled together in a wild run, and after pulling the distance, they saw the flickering spears and spears in the woods, and feared that there were hundreds of people in ambush, so they could only turn their horses and flee to the upper reaches of the stream behind them.

Han Donghu took control of the border rope and led the cavalry to turn around and chase back, and the cavalry team on the other side soon turned back to meet them.

More than 200 horses' hooves trampled in the muddy field soaked by the torrential rain, however, this cavalry team has been stranded in the periphery for more than two days and two nights, and the people and horses are exhausted, and the real pursuit of this group of forbidden army scouts is not very strong, they dispersed, and the main task is to force a group of forbidden army scout horse teams from the north to force the periphery, not to slow down the speed of the southern retreat of the Lishui people.

They came back after chasing three or four miles, and joined up with the ambushers in the woods, and stayed on the outer side of the woods to stand on guard.

Han Donghu jumped off his horse, signaled that the forbidden cavalry had fled away, and asked them to strip off the clothes and armor of the Nanya forbidden army who had been shot off their horses, and then they retreated.

Han Donghu walked among the grass, in addition to the weapons dropped by the enemy soldiers, he also tried his best to find back the crossbow arrows that were fired out of the air, and walked to the depths of the grass unexpectedly, and a figure swooped up behind him.

Han Donghu heard the sound in front of him, pulled the knife and slashed back, the knife light was as fast as lightning, and when the other cavalry who came back to their senses rushed over to help, he saw that the sneak attacker was actually a forbidden cavalryman who was injured in the ambush just now, and he didn't have time to withdraw with the large group of men and horses after falling off the horse, so he hid in the grass that didn't reach the waist, and saw Han Donghu like the leading military attaché, thinking that the hiding would soon be searched, so he wanted to sneak attack, but he didn't want to be split by Han Donghu from the left shoulder clavicle to the right waist, and the corpse was cut in two. The hot blood was still gushing out.

"Brother Tiger, you have a level of this knife, I don't think Diao Blind is enough in front of you, go back and find a chance to beat him down, so that he won't have to show off his power again." Someone praised.

"Pack up and leave. There's a man hiding in the grass, you're all blind, go back and see how I clean you up! Han Donghu slapped the man's big ear scraper, urging them not to rub it off, and quickly retreat after searching the battlefield.

A new cavalry team came to replace him, and Han Donghu led more than 40 cavalry to withdraw in the direction of Donglu Mountain, and joined the main force of Lishui soldiers and horses retreating south.

…………

…………

At the beginning, nearly 50,000 old and weak women and children withdrew from Yanling Port to Maoshan, and it took more than 20 miles for a whole day, and many people felt that it was extremely slow, but it was still a small family in Taowu, who had been accustomed to the management of semi-military cantonment camps for many years.

The more than 20,000 people of Lishui County, who were really like a plate of scattered sand and mainly the children of the various families, retreated south with the Qiuhu Army in a mess, and from the time Li Pu knew that the Chishan Army had retreated on all fronts, it was already four days since today, and the brigade of chariots and horses withdrew to the east of Donglu Mountain.

Last night's torrential rain, the fields were muddy, and the narrow official roads were crowded with chaotic flow of people, cars and horses, like a snail moving forward, the speed became slower, and it was impossible to walk three or five miles for half a day.

It was useless for Xinchang Hou Li Pu to be anxious, he really couldn't imagine how the Chishan Army could evacuate all the two or three hundred thousand women and children to the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain in only five days.

Two or three hundred thousand women and children, the scale is more than ten times that of them.

Li Xiu led more than a dozen guards to chase the horse from the muddy ground on the east side, the horse's belly was splashed with muddy water, and he was also anxious to see the mess left and right.

It is said that the Liumin Army is a rabble, a plate of scattered sand, he has not had an intuitive impression in the past, at this moment to see the crowd of Lishui County people, so chaotic, his heart is also full of despair.

Although it was only sixty miles away from Nantang Village, where the Chishan Army still had 5,000 elite soldiers and horses stationed in the first capital, he doubted that if he really had to go on so slowly, he would be able to go around to the south of the relatively safe Nantang Village after six or seven days.

This is also the key to why the Displaced People's Army is so unfavorable.

The families of women and children, who numbered several times more than the generals, were small, and the ranks were chaotic, the movement was delayed, they were exposed for a long time, and the men and horses were hungry and sleepy; With such a long and slow-moving procession, 3,000 soldiers and horses could not shelter it at all, and in the eyes of the connoisseurs of the army, there were flaws everywhere that were vulnerable.

As long as the Chuzhou army sent a small group of elite soldiers and horses to attack from the flank, their team, which stretched in front and back and dragged for nearly ten miles, would probably be quickly disrupted and defeated, right?

Not to mention that the Southern Ya Forbidden Army also sent a large number of scouts to explore horses at this time, and they came up from the north.

"Ah Xiu, the Chuzhou army in Liyang, there is nothing unusual, right?" Li Pu asked.

"Fortunately, the Chuzhou army in Liyang has not yet shown signs of leaving the city for the time being," Li Xiu asked, "The Chuzhou army has thousands of soldiers and horses entering Liyang City in the early morning, and the Chuzhou army in the east has increased to more than 10,000 people, but I guess they can't guess the intention of the Chishan army to retreat south overnight, worried that we may be the bait that Han Qian deliberately left, the main force of the Chishan army may suddenly come back from the southwest of Jieling Mountain at any time, and it should not be easy to dispatch a large number of soldiers and horses for the time being. Harassing the enemy forces to block the perimeter - but it's not an option for the team to delay like this......"

Li Pu turned to look at the chaotic team in the south worriedly, also full of worry and anxiety.

Now the Chuzhou Army and the Nanya Forbidden Army can't figure out Han Qian's intentions, but so many of them are dragging on the road, and there are also internal complaints and disheartened people.

At this time, there was a faint commotion in front of them, Li Pu and Li Xiu found a high place, looking at the two miles ahead, there was a relatively high slope in the east of Donglu Mountain, and thousands of men and women and a large number of carriages and horses withdrew from the official road to rest.

It was a team composed of the daughters of the families headed by the Wei family, as well as the young children and the elderly, Li Yu and Yun Puzi followed the original Linshui County Cheng, and Wei Zhen, who was appointed as the commander of Liyang County and the judge of the Qiuhu Army after being annexed.

Li Qi and Liu Zishu each led a team of elites to protect the left and right of that team.

Li Pu looked over from a distance, but it was a group of cavalry of the Red Mountain Army who were stopped there, and the two sides did not know what was going on.

Li Pu and Li Xiu, surrounded by guards, passed through the muddy field and rushed to the slope, where they saw Yao Xishui and Yun Puzi hugging the sick and disgraced eldest brother, and stopping Li Mo, who was full of anger.

And Liu Zishu, another person who was responsible for leading the team to guard the team, was lying on the ground covered in blood at this time, and his left arm was cut off from his shoulder and fell to the side, and the whole person did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Wei Zhen was anxious and angry, looking confused.

The small 200 generals of Liu Zishu's department were violently surrounding more than 40 cavalry regiments of the Chishan Army, if it weren't for Wei Zhen, who was so anxious to scold and shout, to stop in front, maybe before Li Pu and Li Xiu rushed over, the two sides had already drawn their swords and fought each other.

However, this group of cavalry of the Chishan Army was surrounded but fearless, and when they were trapped in the space that did not turn, they all dismounted, holding swords, shields, spears, and crossbows to form a formation.

Seeing Li Pu coming, the old man in the green robe, Yun Puzi and Yao Xishui grabbed the angry Li Qi and retreated to the side and handed it over to Li Pu to deal with the matter.

"What's going on?"

Although Li Pu had a grudge and hatred for Han Qian, he also knew how miserable the consequences they would face in a bloody conflict with the Chishan Army at this time, and asked with a calm face.

"A cheap slave of the Shang family, defected to the Chishan Army, but has always coveted the little daughter of the Yan Zhang family who married into the Shang family, just now led a team of cavalry to pass by, and broke over for no reason to look around, Liu Zishu scolded him to leave, and whipped him, he drew a knife and cut off Liu Zishu's left arm, and he ......didn't know whether he was alive or dead," Wei Zhen said angrily.

He also knew the serious consequences of the bloody clash with the cavalry of the Chishan Army at this time, but if Liu Zishubai, a disciple of the Liu family, was stabbed by this knife, he would not pursue it and let the people go easily, how would he explain to the Zhu family?

At Zhang Ping's request, the Chishan Army sent more than 1,000 cavalry to help cover their retreat to the south, Li Pu recognized Zhao Wuji and Guo Que, and he didn't remember who the Chishan Army cavalry general who was besieged in the middle and had blood on his armor, so he immediately bowed his head and ordered Hu Wei to rush over and invite Zhang Ping and Zhao Wuji over.

When encountering such a tricky thing, Li Pu also wanted to tie up this group of Chishan Army cavalry generals who coveted their daughters and caused trouble, and chopped off the root of the bane, but even if he wanted to behead the public to show military discipline, the generals of the Chishan Army would not be able to intervene in his turn, Zhang Ping was the supervisor of the Chishan Army, and Zhao Wuji was the chief general in charge of this cavalry, but he wanted to see how Zhang Ping and Zhao Wuji dealt with the cheap slaves who killed his generals without permission.
