The three general soldiers all ran away, and the rest of the army was naturally in chaos. Fu Yuanxian also completely lost control of the army. All the officers and soldiers threw down torches and weapons and fled in all directions, and Fu Yuanxian, under the protection of several personal soldiers, was wrapped in the defeated army and ran back.

At this time, all the clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the moonlight shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings. The soldiers of the revolutionary army all tied strips of white cloth to their arms, and launched a pursuit of the fleeing officers and soldiers in small mandarin duck formations one by one.

"Kneel on the ground and abandon the soldiers, don't kill! Surrender or kill! The soldiers of the revolutionary army shouted loudly. Those officers and soldiers had been marching all day, and they were already extremely tired, and at this time, they were fleeing, and where could they escape? As soon as many soldiers saw the revolutionary army coming, they quickly threw away their weapons and fell to their knees. The pursuing revolutionary soldiers took their weapons and left them alone, but continued to chase them forward. Naturally, there were people behind to deal with these captives.

However, putting away the weapons of the landing troops is also a time-consuming task, and sometimes it is even slower than hacking them to death. This gave Fu Yuanxian more time to escape. It's just that Fu Yuanxian is not willing to run away.

From the moment the "thief army" launched an attack, Fu Yuanxian understood that his plan had all failed, and the thieves were not fooled, and they were not attracted by the feint officials and troops. It was the main force of the "thief army" that killed him.

Fu Yuanxian understood that a big defeat was irreparable, and although he hated He Dalong and the other three for fleeing without a fight, he also hoped that they could escape. Because they have escaped, they can still leave some soldiers for the court. If none of them escaped, if their horses and cavalry were in the hands of the thieves, it would increase the strength of the thieves. Therefore, for the sake of the imperial court, what he should do now is to do everything possible to drag down those "thieves". Besides, he felt that he was deeply grateful to the country, and he had no face to go back alive.

But now, the whole team is in chaos, and he has no way to restrain the army, so he can only flee with the rout. Fortunately, although the moonlight is bright now, it is still incomparable to the daytime, and it is difficult to see it a little farther away. The soldiers of the revolutionary army were busy collecting weapons (no way, this thing is rare in normal times. Fu Yuanxian ran away with a group of infantry.

After the moon came out, Dang Shouyi led people out of the forest and lined up on the official road. He placed ten mandarin duck formations in front, intending to use these elites to strike a head-on blow to the enemy first. And shoot the recruits who are not well trained in a little further back. And let them occupy a thin-looking, but very large horizontal formation. They also had people nail stakes in front of the array, and pulled tripwires between them. As soon as these preparations were made, a landslide and tsunami sound were heard ahead.

As soon as he heard this voice, he knew that there was a fight ahead, and the official army must have been in a rout at this time. He ordered his subordinate troops to prepare for battle.

In a few moments, a large group of cavalry rushed in. Under the moonlight, Dang Shouyi couldn't see exactly how many men and horses the enemy had, but by listening to the sound of horses' hooves, he knew that there were quite a few cavalry in this force. However, the party was not afraid of the impact of these cavalry. Now that they are defeated, they are frightened birds, how dare they take the initiative to fall into battle? What's more, he also set up a triphorse in front of the array. These tripwires, if they are in the daytime, can actually play a very limited role, but at night, even if there is moonlight, these thin tripstrings are still difficult to see. Considering that both the horses and the cavalry above were running, it was impossible to see these stumbling horses. If these cavalry of the official army really dared to collide directly, most of the losses would be themselves.

Because of the moonlight, He Dalong saw the "thief army" blocking the road from a distance. The formation of the thief army is very wide, and I don't know how many people there are. Seeing that someone was intercepting in front of him, He Dalong asked his subordinates to slow down and gradually stopped.

"Dashuai, what should I do?" He Dalong's righteous son, He Yong, asked.

"Go around. They are two-legged, and they can't catch up with us. He Dalong replied.

The array of the thieves on the opposite side was very thin, and it stands to reason that it would definitely not be able to block the impact of the cavalry. But He Dalong also knew that the general of the thief army was definitely not an idiot, because he was really idiotic enough to face the cavalry in such a formation, and he was hacked to death a few years ago. As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons. There must be a trap in this! He Dalong only had to think about it a little, and he could come up with a lot of ways to trap the cavalry in this situation.

"There must be stumbling horses and traps ahead of them, and God knows if there is anything else." He Dalong thought, "If Lao Tzu hits him headlong, it will really be a birthday boy hanging himself - he thinks he has a long life." ”

"Which way are you going?" He Yong asked again.

"To the east, let's go northeast first." He Dalong said.

If you want to go home, you should naturally go northwest. But He Dalong was worried that there were still thieves in the northwest who were ambushing. If the thief army has a cavalry over there, and kills it when its own side is at the end of its horsepower, it will be really fatal. So he decided to go northeast first and wait until dawn before making plans.

So He Dalong's cavalry turned around and went to the northeast.

"This guy is very experienced, Tian Xiucheng can't catch him, I don't know who this guy is, whether it's with Dalong or Hu Dawei or Li Guoqi." Dang Shouyi thought.

But before he could think about it, another group of cavalry came. This time it was Hu Dawei who came over. He is also a general with a wealth of transfer experience, and like He Dalong, he only glanced at it, and he saw that there must be something like a tripping horse rope and a horse pit lying in ambush on the opposite side. If it was daytime, this kind of thing would be easy to deal with, but now it is night, so like He Dalong, he turned his horse's head and fled in a different direction. It's just that in terms of direction selection, Hu Dawei chose the northwest direction.

Hu Dawei just walked on the front foot, and Li Guoqi came behind him, but there were obviously fewer people around Li Guoqi. Because of this, of course, he did not dare to directly attack the array of the revolutionary army, he also turned his horse's head and went in the northwest direction.

They are all cavalrymen, and they are not the target of the party's righteousness, so these people don't care too much about the party's righteousness. He waited for a while, and then a group of routs came running. As soon as these routs saw the long queue of the revolutionary army waiting in front of them, they immediately stopped and wanted to turn around and flee, (they were no better than their cavalry on horses, and they could see that the thickness of the opponent's defense line was actually not large), but the routs behind did not know what was happening in front of them, and continued to rush forward, so they became a mess.

"Kill it!" Dang Shouyi shouted.

The ten mandarin duck formations in the middle of the revolutionary army pressed first, and the other light infantry followed a little behind. At this time, the defeated officers and troops had no command at all, and they had no fighting spirit at all, and they did not dare to come up to fight the revolutionary army, and they ran all the way over, and in order to run fast, they had already thrown away their weapons and exhausted their physical strength.

As the revolutionary army approached, they shouted: "Kneel and don't kill!" So a large number of officers and soldiers who could not run fell to their knees and surrendered.

In the distance, another defeated army of 1,000 men retreated, and when they heard the sound from this side, they turned to the northwest. Dang Shouyi's side was busy controlling the captives, but it was too late to chase after those people. And in that direction, there is Tian Xiucheng.

Fu Yuanxian was in this batch of routs, he was wrapped in the rout, turned to the northwest, and walked for a while, the routs were really unable to walk, there were no chasing soldiers behind, and these routs gradually stopped to rest. Fu Yuanxian took the opportunity to gather the army, and by the time it was completely dawn, he had regrouped his team of two or three thousand people. It's just that most of these soldiers have lost their weapons, and the organization is in chaos, although they are now concentrated, Fu Yuanxian also knows that these people basically have no combat effectiveness at all.

When it was almost dawn, He Dalong asked the cavalry to get off their horses and rest for a while. He knew that the day was really the most dangerous time. His soldiers fled all night, and they were sleepy and tired, and if they encountered the enemy's cavalry at this time, they really couldn't beat them, and they couldn't run away. So before dawn, he must let the horses and soldiers have a good rest.

He Dalong's cavalry all pulled out a bag from under the saddle. This bag is full of fried soybeans, but they are not for themselves, but for war horses. War horses are actually very delicate animals, and if they want to carry out large sports activities, they must ensure the supply of energy and protein in their food. Considering that as a herbivore, horses cannot digest animal protein well, so soybeans are the first choice for horses to replenish their physical strength. He Dalong didn't have so much money for the war horses to eat soybeans every day, but he always asked the cavalry to carry a small bag of soybeans with him at any time in case of emergency. Now it's time to use these soybeans. Now let the war horse eat these soybeans, and by the time dawn, the war horse will be able to digest a lot of soybeans, so as to recover a lot of strength.

He Dalong didn't tell anyone else about this method, because this method was specially used when escaping. At this time, it's important to run fast, but it's even more important to be able to run faster than your teammates.

While He Dalong was resting, Hu Dawei and Li Guoqi were also resting their cavalry. However, when it was almost dawn, Hu Dawei's cavalry and Li Guoqi's cavalry met unexpectedly, and everyone scared each other half to death. The cavalry of both men ran wildly, and it was not until dawn that they realized that they were their own people, but none of them could run anymore.

"Further on is Wanjialing, after Wanjialing, it's easy to say." Hu Dawei said to Li Guoqi, "But if the thief army is also ambushed there, how can we get by now?" ”

"Then we'll wait." Li Guoqi said, "First, let the war horses rest and rest, and second, we can wait for the infantry to catch up, so that if there is an ambush, when we run, we can also have a cushion." ”
