Chen Jisheng saw that the soldiers really couldn't walk, and the sky was dark, so he hesitated for a moment, and simply ordered everyone to rest for a while, and by the way, they nibbled on some dry food to fill their stomachs.

When the soldiers heard this, they agreed with it, and they had no worries in their hearts, and they each escaped from the dry food they had prepared before. By the way, take a break to recover your physical strength, which has been severely overdrawn.

Everyone else can rest, but Chen Jisheng still doesn't dare to relax in the slightest. The lives of a thousand soldiers are in his hands at this moment, and if there is a slight mistake, the consequences are not something he can afford.

So when the soldiers were resting, he still dragged his tired body and took two personal soldiers to watch the sentry in the hidden place of the coming road.

The officers and men of the Dongjiang Army relaxed in one breath and soon fell asleep. Chen Jisheng listened to the snoring sound one after another in his ears, and he was very helpless.

"Looks like we won't be able to travel again until dawn!" Chen Jisheng secretly paid, and then concentrated on guarding.

At this moment, the place where the Dongjiang Army is staying is a small hill, and the rear is a plain, and from the height of this small hill, you can see it far away.

Chen Jisheng and his two personal soldiers climbed an ancient tree, and when they looked at it, they could see far away.

At this moment, a long snake-like fire dragon suddenly appeared in Chen Jisheng's sight, winding all the way along the path on the plain towards their location.

"It's not good, the officers and soldiers are coming!"

Even though Chen Jisheng exclaimed, he directly kicked up the two drowsy soldiers, and the three of them quickly got off the ancient tree and rushed back to the camp of the Dongjiang Army.

"Get up, get up, the officers and soldiers are coming!"

Chen Jisheng's rough punches and kicks woke everyone up.

In a burst of dissatisfied muttering, the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army soon came to their senses. Chen Jisheng didn't dare to let them light the torches anymore, but let everyone move forward in the dark.

When the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army saw the long dragon winding on the plain, all the dissatisfied voices immediately disappeared, and everyone obediently went down the mountain in the dark according to Chen Jisheng's instructions.

It is easy to go down the mountain and difficult to go up the mountain, although it will be a downhill, but the soldiers still walk very hard, and from time to time you can always hear the cries of pain from someone falling.

It was too dark to see the road clearly, and if you weren't careful, you would fall. Many people fell and their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, but they didn't dare to complain, and they only cared about hurrying away.

After Chen Jisheng and the others descended the mountain, Han Cheng's pursuers arrived at the camp they had just abandoned. Flaming torches lit up almost the entire grove.

These officers and soldiers were the same as the Hong Chengchou cavalry battalion that they found all the way to the traces deliberately left by Chen Jisheng.

When Hong Chengchou checked the traces left at the scene, his face finally showed a trace of comfort. The day's tracking was not in vain, and it can be seen from these fresh traces left at the scene that he is getting closer and closer to the people who robbed the grain.

"The adjutant general listened to the order, and immediately led a thousand cavalry down the mountain to find the whereabouts of the grain raiders, and once there is a discovery, he will immediately send a signal to notify us, and leave your mark and code." Hong Chengchou suddenly shouted an order to a big man behind him.

The big man didn't say anything, and after saluting with his fists, he waved his hand and led a thousand cavalry out of the cavalry battalion and quickly descended the mountain.

Hong Chengchou also ordered the remaining cavalry officers to carefully search the scene, leaving no dead ends, and making every effort to find out whether there was any trace of the looted grain.

Soon, Hong Chengchou saw the cavalry under the mountain send a signal, so he immediately ordered the whole army to go down the mountain and continue to pursue the grain thieves.

Chen Jisheng always had a bad premonition lingering in his heart, and after going down the mountain, although the road was much better, the officers and soldiers who were also chasing him must have the same feeling.

It was obviously difficult to escape the pursuing cavalry on the plains. If you don't want to find a way to lure the officers and soldiers away, but run away blindly like this, in the end, the whole army of 1,000 people will definitely be caught up by the officers and soldiers.

After some close consideration, Chen Jisheng made another decision, and the whole army of 1,000 people was divided into two groups again, and 500 people with all the grain and grass would make a detour to Tongguan from now on to join the others.

Chen Jisheng, on the other hand, took the remaining 500 people and fled from the opposite direction again, deliberately leaving traces to lead away the pursuers behind.

The consequence of this is that it is very likely that the 500 of them will be overtaken by the officers and soldiers, and all of them will be killed. But for the sake of food and the safety of others, Chen Jisheng still felt that he had to do this in order to avoid the losses of the Dongjiang Army to the greatest extent.

The Dongjiang Army finally followed Chen Jisheng's method and soon divided into two groups, each going east and west. Chen Jisheng left obvious traces as he walked, and soon his methods began to work.

Behind their butts, a small ray of light could be seen approaching them very quickly.

Chen Jisheng was experienced in marching and fighting, and immediately judged that the other party was a cavalry. Judging by the speed at which these cavalry were advancing, it would not take long to catch up, and instead of fleeing like this, it was better to spare some strength to test the strength of some officers and soldiers.

Therefore, Chen Jisheng ordered the 500 officers and men of the Dongjiang Army to stop on the spot, retain their physical strength and prepare to fight with the officers and soldiers.

The Dongjiang army is all veterans who have survived on the battlefield, and they have seen blood and kill Tartars, no one shows a trace of nervousness, but they are very calm and ready to fight with the officers and soldiers.

Simple horse pits and rope traps were quickly set up, and everyone was scattered on both sides of the path to find a place to lie in ambush.

After Susu, they heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves, and a group of cavalry galloped along the only path, and they did not notice the Dongjiang army hiding on both sides of the path at this moment.

The officers and soldiers who chased after him were the big men who had previously ordered Hong Chengchou to take a thousand horsemen down the mountain first, and at this moment he was at the forefront of the horse team.

When the horse team was about to enter the trap section arranged by the Dongjiang Army, the big man seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly waved his hand to stop the galloping horse team.

Looking at the silent Siye, he couldn't see anything suspicious at all, but the big man still looked cautious. After some hesitation, he ordered his two subordinates to ride through the road ahead.

Without any hesitation, the two men immediately rode forward, but before they had run a few steps, they heard a sound of horses, and then the two fast horses suddenly fell into the pit.

"There is a situation, all be vigilant." After the big man roared, he immediately flew off his horse, and the nearly two-meter-long saber was already in his hand, and he slowly stepped forward to check the two men who had fallen to the ground by the horse pit.

"Kill!"

That's when the change happened.

Chen Jisheng roared, and with a wave of the saber more than one meter long, he directly slashed at the big man who had already dismounted.

And all the Dongjiang troops who were ambushed on both sides also followed Chen Jisheng and rushed towards the rest of the officers and soldiers.
