The people in Yanling City have retreated to Anling in the north one after another.

The Yanling Wei soldiers on the front line, under the leadership of Zhao Hongrun, Wang Shu and Ma Zhang, fully retreated from Yanshui.

Behind them, there were overwhelming Chu soldiers, and the surging heads seemed to be connected to the heavens and the earth, like locusts.

Wuwei Wang Shu glanced back, and was also frightened by the spectacular scene, and the color of the ground changed slightly.

"Chu ...... Chu soldiers chased after ......"

He glanced at Zhao Hongrun, who was driving a war horse nearby, and said a little anxiously: "Your ...... No, Lord Jiang Run, the Chu soldiers are only a few dozen feet away from our soldiers, and the last general is worried......"

"What's the panic?" Zhao Hongrun said indifferently: "Our soldiers run on two legs, and the Chu soldiers only rely on two legs to chase after them, are you still worried that our Wei people can't outrun the Chu people?" …… Don't look at the distance between the two armies is only a few dozen zhang, as long as the running speed of our army is not inferior to the Chu soldiers, even if they run to the ends of the earth, the people behind don't want to catch up. ”

"Really...... It's true? Wang Shu asked with wide eyes.

Zhao Hongrun ignored him and just sighed silently.

"Brother Zeng chased a bloody enemy hero all over the map, obviously only two positions apart, but the same movement speed was stunned and didn't catch up, and finally was killed by his teammates...... This is the lesson of blood.'"

Glancing back at the soldiers under his command, he saw that there were a few soldiers carrying flags who were obviously about to lag behind the large army, Zhao Hongrun said: "Tell me to go down and throw away the flag in your hand." …… Carrying that thing and trying to outrun Chu Bing? You're underestimating others. ”

It may be that Zhao Hongrun's calm expression from beginning to end made Wuwei Wang Shu feel more and more surprised and trusted, so Wang Shu ordered his soldiers to throw away the flags in their hands, including the military flags, on the road without saying a word.

Originally, the Chu soldiers behind were chasing the ground very closely, but when they saw the Wei soldiers discarding the banner on the road, they stopped one after another and bent down to pick it up.

It is no wonder, after all, that during a campaign, capturing the flag is no less meritorious than killing an enemy soldier, especially a more advanced flag, which can cause a robbery. It is no exaggeration to say that if Zhao Hongrun's banner of 'King Su' is discarded on the road at this moment, I believe that the Chu soldiers behind will be able to fight for this royal flag.

Seeing this scene, Chu General Shen Kang's face was furious, and he shouted angrily with his blade: "Damn it! A few flags will make you dizzy? …… Give me chase! ”

Although he had sternly warned him, the soldiers under his command were still reluctant to throw away the Wei army banner they had picked up, after all, it was all military merit.

In this regard, Chu General Shen Kang had no choice but to constantly urge his soldiers to step up their pursuit of the Wei soldiers in front.

Under his urging, Chu Bing finally got some distance closer.

Seeing this, Wuwei Wang Shu couldn't help but say to Zhao Hongrun again: "Lord Jiang Run, Chu Bing...... Catching up again? ”

"Can you catch up?" It's amazing......

Zhao Hongrun glanced behind him in surprise, and then slapped his forehead as if he suddenly realized.

It turned out that the equipment of the Wei soldiers was generally more complete than that of the Chu soldiers, and in the case of the infantry, the infantry of the Chu State wore leather armor and held a weapon in their hands, or a spear or halberd, and this was the end; The Wei infantry wore iron armor, with cotton clothes inside, equipment in their hands, iron shields in their left hands and swords and guns in their right hands, and the weight of the whole body equipment was obviously much heavier than that of the Chu soldiers, so it was no wonder that the Chu soldiers behind would catch up.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun hurriedly said: "Order all the soldiers and soldiers to throw away the weapons in their hands." …… Pack light and retreat! ”

Wang Shuyan shrank his head when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "Lord Jiang Run, throw away your weapon...... Offenders of military discipline. ”

Zhao Hongrun frowned and said, "What nonsense? Do you understand the urgency of the matter? Weapons are just dead things, and dead things are more important than living people? …… Lose! ”

"Yes." Although Wang Shu was reprimanded, he had a sincere smile on his face.

Obviously, he was very pleased with Zhao Hongrun's remark that "the living are far more important than the dead".

At the sound of an order, the Wei soldiers discarded the iron shields, swords and guns in their hands.

Now the Chu soldiers behind are lively, you must know that the weapons and equipment of the Wei State are generally higher than the Chu army, and now the Wei soldiers are discarding the high-quality weapons on the road, how can the Chu soldiers in the back not rob.

Seeing this scene, Chu General Shen Kang didn't even have the heart to scold, because he also knew that the weapons of the Wei soldiers were extremely sought-after by the Chu soldiers under his command, so he could only urge the soldiers under his command to step up the pursuit, and not allow a fight to break out because of the weapons of the Wei soldiers.

After chasing after him for a while, Zhao Hongrun simply asked Wang Shu to order his soldiers to take off the iron armor on their bodies while running, and all of them were lost.

Nearly 5,000 Wei soldiers have completely become "lightly armed" this time, and the speed of running has obviously increased a lot.

On the contrary, the Chu soldiers who were chasing after them were unable to catch up because they stopped several times to coax the weapons and equipment abandoned by the Wei soldiers.

However, in this way, it also made Chu General Shen Kang's vigilance against the Wei soldiers in front of him greatly reduced.

Originally, he was a little skeptical that these Wei soldiers had any tricks, but now that the other party had all the weapons and armor on his body, where would Shen Kang suspect anything else.

Obviously, Wei Bing was trying to escape for his life, and he couldn't care about anything.

"Yan Ling...... Looks like we can get it!'

Chu General Shen Kang's face was happy, and he subconsciously glanced in the direction of Yan Ling.

Suddenly, his complexion changed slightly.

It turned out that he noticed that in the direction of Yanling in the distance ahead, there was a thick smoke, and there were bursts of fire.

"Damn it! The Wei people can't have burned Yan Ling, right?"

Recalling that the group of Wei soldiers in front of him had deliberately delayed for a long time, Shen Kang's face suddenly became very ugly.

Because if the Wei people really burned Yanling, then even if they got Yanling, it would have no effect.

What can an empty city do?

"You won't really burn Yan Ling, will you?"

Chu General Shen Kang was in a hurry, and once again urged the whole army to rush.

At the same time, due to the gradual approach to Yanling, Wuwei Wang Shu and Ma Zhang also noticed the fire and smoke in the direction of Yanling City, and their complexions changed slightly.

Of course, they would not think that this was the Chu soldiers who rushed ahead of them to capture Yanling, because the Chu soldiers were still behind them.

In this way, there is only one explanation: Yanling County ordered Pei Zhan to burn Yanling!

"Master Pei Zhan...... Wrong! Master Pei Zhan definitely doesn't have the courage to do so......

Wu Wei Ma Zhang glanced at Zhao Hongrun with a strange expression, because he remembered that when Zhao Hongrun ordered the whole army to go to Yanshui for the so-called "gambling fight" this morning, the attitude of Pei Zhan, the commander of Yanling County, was a little strange at that time.

"Do you mean...... Did His Royal Highness King Su deliberately lose the battle of Yanshui, and then burned the city of Yanling with a fire? Why did he do that?'

Wuwei Wang Shu and Ma Zhang looked puzzled.

Sure enough, when they approached the city of Yanling, they found that the entire Yanling was already a sea of fire, and thick smoke was billowing out.

"The People of the City ......"

"In front!"

Before Wang Shu finished speaking, Ma Zhang pointed ahead in horror, only to see a sea of people faintly visible in the distance ahead.

The sea of people quickly withdrew towards the north, turned the hill called Yanling, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Lord Jiang Run, Yanling City ......"

However, before Wang Shu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhao Hongrun: "Just follow the people who retreated to Anling in front, and let's also retreat in the direction of Anling." ”

"This ......"

Wang Shu's face changed slightly, because in his opinion, since there were people who had withdrawn from Yanling in front, then they could no longer take this route, otherwise, once the Chu soldiers in the back caught up with the people in Yanling in front, those people would obviously suffer.

But if they left the broken queen, the Wei soldiers under their command had no weapons and armor in their hands, so how could they fight with the Chu soldiers behind?

I don't know if I saw the hesitation in the hearts of Wang Shu and Ma Zhang, Zhao Hongrun said in a low voice of relief: "Don't worry about doing what I say, I know it in my heart." ”

『…… I hope so.'"

Wang Shu and Ma Zhang sighed, and had no choice but to order the soldiers under their command to continue to run and evacuate along the evacuation route of the people of Yanling in front.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun glanced back at Chu Bing behind him and said secretly in his heart: How will you choose, General Chu?

Behind Zhao Hongrun, the Chu general Shen Kangzheng also noticed the Yanling people who were evacuated to the north in the distance.

"Wei people...... Sure enough, they planned to evacuate the people in the city, and then burn Yanling, leaving our army with an empty city......

Chu General Shen Kang grabbed the reins and looked at Yanling City and the Wei soldiers and civilians who were evacuating northward in the northeast of Yanling City, with a contemplative look on his face.

"General, the Wei people set fire to Yanling, are we going to put out the fire?" Left and right asked.

General Chu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Save ...... To save. However, even if we put out the fire at this time, we will only get an empty city, and I believe that the Wei people have already transported the valuable things in the city...... Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the situation to take Anling! ”

"Take advantage of the situation to take Anling?" Left and right exclaimed.

"Ahh …… If what I expected is correct, there should be more than 100,000 people of Yanling in front of me...... We have these people in charge, if Anling accepts these Yanling people, we will take advantage of the situation to conquer Anling......"

"What if An Ling doesn't accept it?"

"Humph! Then kill all these Yanling people under Anling City to deter the soldiers and civilians in Anling City! …… The order was sent down, and the whole army stepped up the pursuit, and furthermore, sent someone to inform the Lord Xiong Hu, the king of peace, and asked the Lord to hurry up with the rest of the army...... This is a good opportunity to take Anling, and we must not miss it! ”

"Yes!"

So, under the general order of Chu General Shen Kang, tens of thousands of Chu troops marched again with their own legs, and they had to catch up with the Yanling soldiers and civilians in front at any cost.

And when they found this situation, Wuwei Wang Shu and Ma Zhang were angry and anxious, and couldn't help but regret that they shouldn't have listened to Zhao Hongrun's words just now, and asked the soldiers to throw away the weapons and equipment on their bodies.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun's expression was still very calm, he glanced back at the back, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Hmm, did you really choose to take advantage of the situation to attack Anling? Very smart, that Chu general...... It's a pity that this cleverness will kill you!'
