The heavy snow stopped for a while, and in the vast snow, Zuo Liangyu could see that there were always a few grains of flying snow that were hesitating; When the snow stops and the sky clears, there is always crushed snow floating in the air and gradually rising.

The heavy snow has stopped, the haze that has accumulated for many days has been swept away, the sky is as clear as blue crystals, the round sun hanging high in the middle of the sky, and the ten thousand golden lights reflect the exquisite world after the snow.

A long procession, marching a white earth, like a huge long snake.

"Hurry up!" Zuo Liangyu yelled.

"Drive, dead animal, go!" The groom shouted, and there was a whip on the horse's buttocks, and the carriage was pulled behind the horse, and the carriage was full of food and supplies, etc., I don't know if the snow was too thick, or the carriage was too heavy, and the horses just couldn't walk.

"A few people, push the carriage away!" Zuo Liangyu ordered. He had ordered a lot of baggage to be thrown away, but the carriage was still very difficult.

At the end of the day, Zuo Liangyu's troops walked less than thirty miles, which made Zuo Liangyu worried, in case he was discovered by Zhang Thief's people and caught up, it would be troublesome at that time.

Although the snow stopped and the sun came out, because the weather was still very cold, the snow on the ground did not melt, but became colder and colder, and people creaked and creaked.

"Adjutant General Ma, send more spies to the west, and send more people out in the direction of Zhenping." Zuo Liangyu ordered.

"Yes, Chief Soldier!"

Sun Kewang was groping north with 20,000 people at this time, according to the news of the spies, Zuo Liangyu began to flee north, Zuo Liangyu was already in their pocket, but as soon as they knew that God suddenly snowed heavily, this time it was four or five days, and now the heavy snow stopped for a while, Zuo Liangyu began to escape, so Zhang Xianzhong gave him an order, let him bring four days of military rations, travel lightly, pursue Zuo Liangyu, the large army pursued behind, and at the same time ordered Luo Rucai to Zhenping, as well as Liu Wenxiu in the east, began to go to Nanyang to encircle, Zuo Liangyu's people must not be allowed to escape.

Sun Kewang did not go east, but directly moved towards Nanyang, because he concluded that Zuo Liangyu must have retreated to Nanyang.

The terrain of Nanyang Province is not flat, there are many mountains in the south, and there are many rivers in the middle, most of which are tributaries of the Bai River, all of which are like walking from north to south, and only the place close to the river is slightly flat. Therefore, the quickest way to march to Nanyang City is to walk along the river.

"General, over the mountain in front, we can reach the White River!" A pro-soldier said.

"Yes! Very good, we must rush to Zuo Liangyu and the others, everyone hurry up, don't let Zuo Liangyu escape back to Nanyang City. Sun Kewang nodded.

"General, there is a place called Wolonggang outside Nanyang City, this Wolonggang is a canyon to the south, the Ming army retreated to Nanyang City After all, this place is here, I think we can go here to set up an ambush." The pro-soldier suggested.

"Oh? Is this true? How can you be so clear! ”

"Hehe, general, I am this Nanyang person, this white river runs through Nanyang City, through that section of the canyon to the south, if the Ming army does not go to that section of the canyon, they have to spare a long way, at least one more day!" The pro-soldier said with great certainty.

Sun Kewang was very happy and said: "Very good, according to your strategy, if this battle defeats the Ming army on the left, you will take the first credit!" ”

"Thank you, General!"

After three days of marching, Zuo Liangyu's troops only arrived upstream of Wadian, but the next march speed should be much faster, because for the rest of the journey, they only need to go north along the Baihe River, the terrain on both sides of the Baihe River is still relatively flat, that is, the surface of the Baihe River, this thick ice, there is no big problem to walk directly.

Chen Yuanjie led the carriage to catch up with Lu Jiude, and Lu Jiude walked all the way with the support of his own soldiers.

"Lord Overseer, this road is flat, the carriage can walk, Lord Lu has been fortunate all the way, get on the carriage, this valley is windy!"

"Oh, it's been a pain for our family these days, I've never suffered this kind of sin in my life, and now I can finally take the carriage!" Lu Jiude complained. Holding Chen Yuanjie's hand and getting into the carriage, there was a small stove in the carriage, Lu Jiude lifted the curtain and praised Chen Yuanjie: "Vice General Chen has a heart, if this combat strength is credited, our family will definitely have a lot of good words in front of Gonggong Gao and the emperor in the future." ”

"Master Xie Jianjun!" Chen Yuanjie was overjoyed.

"Well, you're welcome, Vice General Chen, how long will it take for us to get to Nanyang?"

"Lord Hui Jianjun, it is estimated that it will be almost two days!"

"What? Two more days? Okay, go slowly, anyway, there is a carriage seat now, and it's not a loss! Lu Jiude thought that the road was easy to walk now, and he could arrive in one day.

Lu Jiude was in the carriage, and there was a commotion in the carriage, which made him drowsy, and he didn't know when, he fell asleep.

When he was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly woken up by the noise outside, Lu Jiude lifted the curtain, and saw that there were canyons on both sides, and he couldn't see it very clearly in the dim and dark, there was a sound of ping-pong in front, Lu Jiude was serious, this was a war!

"Someone!" Lu Jiude shouted.

"Lord Overseer, the little one is here!"

"What's going on up ahead?!"

"Lord Overseer, we've run into a stream of thieves blocking the way!"

"Kill a thousand knives, why are there thieves everywhere, so why doesn't General Zuo take a detour?" Lu Jiude complained.

"Lord Prison Army, this group of people was killed suddenly, and now Rao Dao is not in a hurry!"

In front of the team, Zuo Liangyu was commanding his soldiers to fight, and Zuo Liangyu looked at the local camp in the distance, and there were more than 10,000 people, which made Zuo Liangyu take a reassuring pill.

"Hmph, now any bull, ghost, snake and god dare to come to block my Zuo Liangyu's way, it's really unreasonable! Adjutant General Ma, let the people of the forward battalion charge me and annihilate this gang of thieves! ”

"Yes!"

The people of Zuo Liangyu's forward battalion began to run on the river, but this group of people was very strange, they retreated when the Ming army rushed, and then relied on those fences built at zero time to defend, and when the Ming army retreated, they clenched and clenched, which made Zuo Liangyu scold, they were like this, obviously they wanted to drag themselves here.

When night fell, everyone had no intention of continuing to entangle, and Zuo Liangyu's department set up camp on the spot.

A gust of wind blew through the canyon, and the sound sounded like a wild beast roaring.

In the middle of the night, Zuo Liangyu launched a sneak attack, the people of the forward battalion under Zuo Liangyu's order, with the help of snow and moonlight, launched another charge against the thieves in front, the two armies fought fiercely, until the morning, the two sides won and lost each other, but Zuo Liangyu still could not break through the defense of the thieves in front, so Zuo Liangyu was worried.

"General Left, let all the soldiers attack together, and our family won't be able to break through!" Lu Jiude suggested, he didn't understand that Zuo Liangyu used thousands of people at a time, and there were so many people who made them stare behind him.

Zuo Liangyu pointed to the river valleys on both sides, and said: "Lord Jian Jun doesn't know, this river valley is only so wide, investing thousands of people is the same as investing tens of thousands of people, and even the combat effectiveness will be stronger if there are fewer people." ”

"Why, isn't it true that the more people there are, the stronger the combat effectiveness?" Lu Jiude was puzzled.

"Because the frontal forces cannot be used, this will harbor combat effectiveness, and only the frontal strength of the enemy can be fully exerted, which is called combat effectiveness, otherwise they are all idle personnel. This valley is so narrow that if we can't cross it, we'll have to spare! ”

"Rao? Passing through the river valley is Wolonggang, and after Wolonggang is Nanyang City! Wouldn't Rao Dao have to walk a lot more now? Chen Yuanjie was not happy.

"Hmph, if you don't take a detour, it will be very dangerous to go on like this, the whole army is in the river valley, and the front has been blocked by thieves, if there is another stream of thieves behind us at this time, we will be in trouble at that time!" Zuo Liangyu said worriedly.

Zuo Liangyu's worry reminded everyone, although everyone felt that this probability was very small, but if that situation really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Chief Soldier Zuo, what are you waiting for, let's hurry up!" Lu Jiude was worried that he was captured alive by the thieves, so he immediately suggested that it would be better to walk more distance than to be caught by the thieves.

"I've already sent a lot of spies out, if there are thieves within this ten miles, let's retreat immediately, let's continue to attack at this time, after all, there are not many thieves in front!"

As soon as Zuo Liangyu finished speaking, the spies came to the news, and there were a large number of thieves in the distance, Zuo Liangyu immediately made a decision and withdrew from the canyon, but Zhang Xianzhong also came prepared, both sides of the Baihe River were his troops, and his army was divided into two roads, and Zuo Liangyu's troops were driven back to the Baihe valley strongly.

Now Zuo Liangyu can be said to be difficult to fly.

"It's over, it's over! It's all over now, we're having wings to fly now, how good is this! Lu Jiude was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth in front of Zuo Liangyu.

"The army will rest first, Lu Jianjun, do you still have cavalry?" Zuo Liangyu asked Lu Jiude.

Lu Jiude looked at Chen Yuanjie with a blank face, and Chen Yuanjie replied: "There are probably two or three hundred horses!" It's all left to pull the baggage! ”

"Gather all the horses, form a cavalry, and break through the enemy camp ahead!" Zuo Liangyu said.

Zuo Liangyu's plan was quickly put into practice, and there were about five hundred cavalry with infantry to start charging, after having cavalry, the Ming army's charge did bring some trouble to the thieves, these hundreds of cavalry, like sharp knives, inserted into the thieves' defenses, almost broke through, but unfortunately, the number of cavalry is still too small!

Zuo Liangyu is also dead, he can only do a good job of defending the position, and bring reinforcements, this is not far from Nanyang City, hoping that there will be a miracle.

Zhang Xianzhong stood on the high place of the river valley, full of spirits, there were tens of thousands of Ming troops here, after this battle, in the Jianghuai area, he could almost walk sideways!

No matter what the facts are, that's what he thinks anyway!

Just when he was proud, in the distant sky, he saw a different team, the number of people was not much, about two or three thousand, those people were floating on the snow at a very fast speed, he had never seen it!

"Heavenly Soldiers! The Heavenly Soldiers are coming! ”
