Chapter 85: Jinan Enters the Pit

Originally, Li Damu was in the tomb and fought with the Taishan army. But the equipment gap is too big, although they have an absolute advantage in numbers, but the opponent's bow and arrow don't know what it's made of, the range is close to thirty percent of the distance compared to their own, and Li Damu's team has not yet rushed into the range of his bow and arrows and left thousands of corpses.

And the hand-to-hand combat is even more shocking to Li Da, the Taishan army of five people formed a military formation of their own subordinates to defeat the army, just a stick of incense, the other party only paid about 500 casualties, then directly wiped out more than 10,000 of their own, in addition to the excellent military formation, the opponent's equipment is also good outrageous, the weapon is sharper than their own, the armor is stronger than their own, if you want to kill a soldier of the Taishan army, you often have to pay ten times or even twenty times the price.

Seeing that this battle could not be fought, Li Damu had no choice but to run towards the gap in the opponent's attack. However, the Taishan army in front of him was chasing after him, and as long as his subordinates fell behind, they would definitely lose their lives.

ran all the way like this, many of his subordinates couldn't stand it, and quietly broke away from the army and fled for their lives, and in just two or three days, the original 150,000 army was reduced by one-third. Seeing that Liang Zou was about to arrive, this cold and sudden killing of an equally well-equipped cavalry, Li Damu wanted to die.

The army in front of him, without thinking about it, knew that it was Taishan's cavalry team, which had appeared in Xinwen at the beginning, and had not been seen in the battle of Yuling before, Li Damu thought it was a terrain restriction, so Su Xiu did not let the cavalry participate in the battle, who would have thought that the cavalry would be placed here to intercept him.

Now there is cavalry interception in front, and there is Taishan army chasing and suppressing in the back, Li Damu has no time to exterminate the cavalry in front of him, only to order a retreat, after all, there are still I don't know how many cavalry behind the heavy cavalry, if there are still 1,000 to 2,000 cavalry, then Li Damu will definitely be dragged to death here, he dare not bet.

In the face of the Yellow Turban Army scattering and fleeing, Zhang Fei did not order a pursuit, but quickly gathered his team and sent scouts in the direction of Li Damu's large army to keep abreast of Li Damu's movements.

"Zilong, your voice has scared Li Damu's guts, hahaha! The next time I appear, I have to howl at him, 'Zhuojun Zhang Yide is here', uh, it's not good, it's not domineering enough, it's better to call it 'Yanren Zhang Yide is here'. What do you think? ”

"Swallow people? Eunuch? Well, this one is loud, very loud. Zhao Yun replied with a smile.

Zhang Fei was so excited for a while that he didn't hear Zhao Yun's voice at all, and felt that Zhao Yun also recognized his title, so he happily ran to clean up the battlefield.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun successfully ambushed and scattered the team under Li Damu again, which made Li Damu completely panicked, and he didn't dare to enter easily when he saw a place more suitable for ambush along the way, and he was really scared by Zhao Yun.

Here, Su Xiu received the news from the scouts, and simply laid out the next battle plan, and then led the team to continue the pursuit.

Li Damu originally planned to go to Le'an County, but now he didn't dare to go north directly, and in the process of escaping, most of the heavy grain and grass he carried had been lost again, and he could no longer support him to go to Le'an County, so he could only go to the city of Jinan Guozhi to raise enough grain and grass to make plans.

Along the way, Li Damu plundered again, paying attention to the movements of the Taishan army, while scavenging for grain and grass, and making the huge city a miasma. And the Taishan army pursued all the way, once again killing more than 10,000 people, plus the yellow turban that escaped in the process of pursuit, Li Damu's strength was less than half of the time when the army was raised.

There are fewer and fewer yellow scarves, and there are fewer burdens around Li Damu, but they are running more and more smoothly and faster. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the pursuit of the Taishan army. From the captured Yellow Turban General's collar, Li Damu's march destination was known, but the road from Jinan to Le'an County was smooth and could be entered from many places, and it was impossible to replicate the previous interception.

Just when Su Xiu was feeling embarrassed, a herald came to report that Zhao Xun, the minister of Jinan, was visiting.

"Zhao Xun? What is he here for? Could it be that they are here to hold me accountable for crossing the border and using troops? Su Xiu muttered to herself.

Let the herald lead people to the handsome tent, Su Xiu simply greeted and then went straight to the topic. "I don't know why Zhao Guoxiang is here?"

"Master Su, this time the old man is here because of Li Damu. This person led the crowd to plunder in Qingzhou, and the domestic army in Jinan could not fight Li Damu head-on, so after consulting with His Royal Highness the King of Jinan, he decided to ask Lord Su to help me Jinan to exterminate Li Damu. ”

Jinan Wang Liu Kang? This is because I was scared by Li Damu, and now seeing me chasing Li Damu and beating me, obviously wanting me to work for them, Su Xiu sneered in her heart.

"The Prime Minister is serious, speaking of Li Damu, I want to ask, the remnants of Li Damu are rampant in Jinan, is it possible that your army is all decorations, and they don't even dare to intercept it? If you can stop one or two and drag the soldiers under my command to arrive, how can this Li Damu escape in Jinan for so long? Now you say that I want to kill him, I am very willing, but it is not easy to chase, and it has been more than a month since the soldiers of our army came out of Mount Tai, if it were not for the seizure of some grain and grass from Li Damu, I would have withdrawn the army, what else to talk about? ”

"Lord Su, it's easy to say that the military resources are all good, I'll go back and organize it for the adults, is 100,000 stones enough? In addition, His Royal Highness said, this time the casualties of the bandits can be compensated by Jinan, if we succeed in exterminating the Yellow Turban thieves, we will give another 200,000 stones, grain and grass and 10,000 taels of gold as a reward. ”

"Pension you responsible? Do you know the pension standard in my Taishan army? Someone, go and call a soldier in. Su Xiu winked at the guard.

Most of the guards who followed Su Xiu were the first one or two soldiers who Su Xiu had just arrived in Mount Tai to rectify, they watched how Mount Tai developed step by step under Su Xiu's management to today, of course, they also witnessed the whole process of Su Xiu's many pit people, and when they saw Su Xiu blinking, they immediately understood what Su Xiu meant, and immediately took the order to leave. After a short time, the guards brought in the thin soldiers.

"Come, tell the Prime Minister about the pension standard in my Taishan Army."

"Yes! The pension standard of our Taishan Army is ten times the salary of the dead in battle, and five thousand dollars per year for the military family, five times the military salary for serious injuries and disabilities, for life, and to provide living security for the military family. Your Excellency, our Lord Su sympathizes with his subordinates and gives us three times the military salary. ”

"Mouthy, go down! Your Excellency, you have also heard, the reason why my Taishan army officers and soldiers dare to use their lives so much is because the military salary I give is too much more than you, if there are casualties, you don't have to worry about your family is living, this pension is quite expensive, if according to His Royal Highness the King of Jinan, it will be a big expense. After Su Xiu scolded the soldier angrily, he turned his head and said to Zhao Xun.
