The sick were drinking their medicine, and there was a lot of confusion at the makeshift resting point. At this time, a young officer walked up to Shang Xiuying's side and whispered something. When Shang Xiuying heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "Everyone pack up and get ready to go-He Dalong of the dog day is chasing after him." ”

Everyone immediately got busy, some were busy fixing the seriously ill number back on the stretcher, some were busy drinking the medicine, and others began to pack up all kinds of utensils and put out the fire of the decoction. Shang Xiuying walked up to Xuan Yi and said, "Don't worry, Dao Chief, He Dalong can't catch us." ”

Xuan Yi knew that Shang Xiuying saw himself as a novice who went to the battlefield for the first time, so he came over to comfort him. Indeed, for the first time in his life, he was so close to the battlefield; But in his previous life, he can also be regarded as a battle-hardened, the most incredible victory, and the most thrilling fiasco. Today, such a small scene of thousands of people is really nothing to Xuanyi Dao people.

"Actually, even when I faced the battlefield for the first time in my life, I didn't seem to be too nervous." Xuan Yi thought to himself. So he smiled at Shang Xiuying and said, "Madam, Poor Dao has a little Taoism, and I know that this time it must be no danger, so I am not worried." And on the way here, General Liu and Poor Dao had already discussed some ways to deal with the pursuing soldiers. The current situation is completely within the expectations of General Liu and Poor Dao, if He Dalong chases slower, it will be fine, if he is greedy and pursues faster, he will definitely make them suffer a little. ”

Shang Xiuying saw that Xuan Yi's face was as usual, without the slightest hint of panic or excitement, so she smiled and said, "If that's the case, we would have to worry about He Dalong." ”

A soldier next to him laughed and said: "He Dalong, this guy takes advantage of people's danger, and he is not the most important thing!" General Liu must teach him a good lesson this time. ”

The soldiers next to him also laughed.

When Xuan Yi saw it, he couldn't help but think of the defeat in the battle of Jingshi in his previous life, the morale of the Great Jin army was so low that it even developed to the point that as long as he saw the braided Jin soldiers, he would collapse without a fight. At this time, despite the same huge setbacks, the morale of Huang's army was still high, why is this?

"Because these two failures are not the same." Huang Tian's voice came out again, "There is not much gap between the Jokhang official army and them, even if they suffer defeat, they still have the confidence to defeat the Jokhang official army; But compared to those golden soldiers who dragged pigs' tails, they were so inferior that they didn't feel any hope of defeating their opponents at all. In this way, of course, morale is not the same. ”

"Therefore, we must do a good job in the training of the army, so that their combat effectiveness must at least be close to that of the Jin army, so as to avoid such a situation, right?" Xuan Yi asked in his heart.

"Nonsense!" Huang Tian responded like this, and then stopped talking. Shang Xiuying, who was standing on the side, spoke again.

"Is this the first time the Dao Master has approached the battlefield?" Shang Xiuying asked.

"Yes, Poor Dao had only heard about the battlefield from others before." Xuan Yi replied.

When Shang Xiuying heard this, she exclaimed: "Dao Chief, I have seen many people who are so nervous and flustered that they can't speak when they approach the battlefield for the first time. For example, when I first approached the battlefield, I was so nervous that my mouth was dry. I have also seen some natural warriors, in the face of the battlefield, they are fearless, and even have special energy, just like a child encountering the Chinese New Year, such as Lao Liu and Zide. Facing the battlefield for the first time like the Dao Chief, it was like nothing happened, and he couldn't see either nervousness or happiness, but it was the first time that Xiuying had seen it. The Taoist is really a brave man! ”

Xuan Yi knew that when he approached the war for the first time in his previous life, he was as nervous as Shang Xiuying, and there was no saliva in his mouth. Shang Xiuying's evaluation of him now can be said to be a little overrated. However, he did not intend to correct his mistake, not only because of the acquiescence to this evaluation, which would help increase his prestige in Huang Zide's rebel army, but also because of his own character.

"Your biggest weakness is that you love vanity, and your biggest advantage is that you are thick-skinned." This is what Senior Sister Yan Yu said about him in his previous life. Xuan Yi still remembers Yan Yu's flickering eyes when he said this. After being reborn, although Xuan Yi planned to change many things in his previous life, Xuan Yi felt that the two points that Yan Yu said could not be changed no matter what.

"General Liu will find a way to lure them to the other side, madam, we must also set off as soon as possible." Xuan Yi replied.

……

As Xuan Yi said, He Dalong's men and horses were attracted by the various signs created by Liu Jiexuan, and embarked on another fork in the road, and failed to threaten Shang Xiuying and the others. Shang Xiuying took the old camp and continued southward among the mountains, and at noon on the fourth day, Liu Jiexuan rushed up from behind with about 50 people under his command.

"Brother Liu, how is the situation?" After taking medicine for a few days, Shang Xiuying's physical condition has improved a lot, and now when she saw Liu Jiexuan coming back with someone, she hurriedly came over and asked.

"Haha......" Listening to Shang Xiuying's words, Liu Jiexuan first laughed very proudly, laughing so much that his beard trembled. He laughed for a while before he said, "What else?" Just by He Dalong? We took him around the ravine for a whole day, and then the next morning we stopped him at a pass......"

According to the plan agreed upon by Xuan Yi and Liu Jiexuan, Liu Jiexuan first deliberately left some traces on a fork in the road, leading He Dalong's team in another direction. Originally, just looking at the strength of the feet, the gang under Liu Jiexuan had no problem taking He Dalong around for a few days. It's just that they are playing a team with a lot of sick numbers at this time, and such a team can't go fast anyway. So if he only walked like this, He Dalong would understand that what he was chasing was definitely just a bait army. Then he will turn around and walk away. Therefore, Liu Jiexuan and the others must stop in a favorable place and block the opponent, so as to convince He Dalong that he is pursuing an extremely important target.

"Sister-in-law, He Dalong has seen me on the battlefield, and he knows me. So when I took these fifty or so brothers to stop him, the guy's eyes lit up......"

He Dalong knew that Liu Jiexuan was the most capable general under Huang Zide, and in terms of the court's bounty alone, he was worth more than Shang Xiuying. What's more, according to Wang Enyi, Liu Jiexuan is not in Shang Xiuying's old camp, and now that he appears here, it only means that Shang Xiuying's department that broke through has made peace with Huang Zide's department. In front of him, there is not only Shang Xiuying, but even Huang Zide. Now they are running away, because they can't run fast, they have to let Liu Jiexuan bring people who can still fight to stop them, so as to buy time for Huang Zide and them to escape. And the number of the team they used to block was only more than fifty people, which showed that even if Huang Zide and Shang Xiuying had already converged, there were not many people in their hands who could fight.

Thinking of this, He Dalong's heart suddenly warmed up. In He Dalong's opinion, the nearly 4,000 centaurs in his hands should be able to easily eliminate the opponent, even if the opponent is now blocked in a pass, which is quite narrow, the two sides are fighting here, no matter which side, at most a dozen people can be lined up on the front. Of course, this makes it difficult to fully exert the numerical advantage on his side, and He Dalong knows that most of the remaining people under Huang Zide are elite, but after all, there are only fifty people on Liu Jiexuan's side, and how long can they consume that little bit of people? He Dalong felt that at most, he would be able to eliminate Liu Jiexuan's fifty people in half an hour.

The fifty men formed a formation at the pass, with six large shields in the front, behind which were wolves and spears, and behind them, archers. He Dalong recognized that this was the transformation of Qi Dashuai's powerful Mandarin Duck Array, and in this transformation, the musket was replaced with a bow and arrow. Qi Dashuai did not carry out any secrecy measures such as passing on men and not women to this formation, and he even openly wrote this formation in the military book, and anyone can learn this formation from these books. But back then, except for the Qi family's army, whether it was the other generals who fought side by side with Qi Dashuai, or the Japanese who were their opponents, no one could succeed in copying this formation. This is because this kind of formation has very high requirements for soldiers, especially for squad leaders and the like. It takes a lot of investment to train such soldiers. Needless to say, even the other generals of the Zhao army, they are not willing to honestly invest all their money in military training like Qi Dashuai. Therefore, except for Qi Dashuai, no one can train so many soldiers who can take on the position of squad leader. With the death of Qi Dashuai and the gradual aging of the veterans who followed Qi Dashuai, this formation method was almost forgotten. Even He Dalong had only seen such a formation in the book of war. But now this array of methods has actually appeared here.

"Just these rogues, they also want to play the formation? Most of them picked up a military book, so they drew a scoop based on the gourd, and put on this posture to scare people. He Dalong couldn't help but think so.

In order to repel them as soon as possible, catch up, and catch Huang Zide, He Dalong called his righteous son He Chang over: "Chang'er, you take a hundred family members and go and rush the road away!" No problem, right? ”

"Father, don't worry!" He Chang half-knelt down and said loudly, the blades of the armor on his body also made a sonorous sound with his movements, "It's just a group of rogues, how can it be a blow?" The children will be able to defeat them! ”

After saying this, He Chang turned around and left, and after a while, a group of family members were organized. At the front of the line was a row of rattan players, followed by three rows of pikemen, then archers. These people lined up in a dense formation and pressed towards the "rogues" who blocked the pass.
