Qian Er saw the panic of the thieves' retreat, so he immediately ordered five hundred cavalry to attack.

Although 500 cavalry was a small number for tens of thousands of thieves, they attacked when the thieves hurriedly retreated. They quickly approached the back of the bandits, then attacked with firecrackers, and then calmly circled back from both sides. After that, the handcuffs were loaded with ammo and the previous kill was repeated again.

Amid the sound of "bang", "bang", the rogue infantry in the rear kept screaming and falling, which forced more people to shout and speed up their escape.

And He Yilong and the others, who were running in front, just wanted to retreat a distance, and then stop and reconsider. However, the subordinates in the back kept shouting and were pursued by the cavalry of the official army, so that the cavalry who had already run to the front had no way to stop, so they had to continue to run backwards.

This run, especially when chased by the officers and soldiers, is basically impossible to stop. Unless they really can't run, someone will resign themselves to stopping and waiting for the final fate.

Feng Taichu led the cavalry to chase the thieves behind, although it looked very easy, but he still did not let his men rush to the front, but pursued the enemy's cavalry. After all, there are tens of thousands of thieves, and if those thieves are ruthless and surround them, then the whole army may be wiped out. It was not easy for their cavalry to expand their army, and they could not easily inflict heavy losses on their troops.

Of course, if they need to hedge against the enemy's cavalry on the battlefield, they have nothing to fear. After all, they received the strictest training, and at the same time, for the welfare of their families, they could only carry out the orders of wartime with all their might.

After chasing out twenty miles in one go, Feng Taichu changed his strategy. They intercepted a few hundred of the thieves and sent a small number of cavalry in pursuit, most of whom stayed behind to make a forced landing on the thieves. It's not bad to come out once and capture some prisoners, just in time to use these people to rebuild the city walls.

At dusk, Feng Taichu took the cavalry, escorted the captives, and the captives carried banners, weapons and armor, and slowly returned to the city of Shenqiu County. By this time the battlefield had been cleaned up, and the corpses and seriously wounded had been buried and sprinkled with lime. This is Li Yan's new rule for them, as long as the conditions permit, the corpse must be disposed of well to avoid the formation of a plague.

Now the plague seems to be getting worse and worse, and there are plague outbreaks north of the Yellow River, Shaanxi, and Shanxi, so it must be dealt with carefully. However, the thieves did not listen to Li Yan's call, so it was very likely that a plague would occur in Henan.

At the same time, He Yilong and the others finally stopped in a market town outside the border of Shenqiu County. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers did not chase too hard, and their old battalion and baggage were not much lost, otherwise they would have gone hungry in this market town that had been robbed of white land by them.

"Brother He, how is this good?" After setting up camp, Liu Xiyao asked worriedly.

He Yilong said helplessly: "Let's take a detour." Let's also go south and take the road of He Jin and them. We still have enough food, so let's go and join them. That group of officers and soldiers was too powerful to rush hard. ”

Liu Xiyao also nodded and said: "Alas, this Henan is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, there are such powerful officers and soldiers, and there are such powerful artillery." Zhang Xianzhong is really right, this group of officers and soldiers should be Li Yan's troops. ”

"No matter whose team it is, let's be careful." He Yilong reminded: "It seems that Li Chuang is not a reliable person, what is Henan standing firm, and wants us to come over to plan a big thing." With this Li Yan here, it is not so easy to gain a firm foothold. ”

Liu Xiyao said helplessly: "Alas, if we go back to Nanzhili now, it will make us have no face and let Huanghu laugh at us." ”

"I don't need to say anything more." He Yilong waved his hand and said: "This is a joint decision of our five battalions, that is, we must make another plan, and we must first discuss it with He Jinlao and return to them." A few of us are twisted into a rope, no matter what time it is, there is a place for us to stand. ”

"Well, what Brother He said is reasonable." The Reincarnated King nodded, completely agreeing with He Yilong's statement.

A few days later, He Yilong and Liu Xiyao finally came to Runing and joined Li Zicheng. They told Li Zicheng, Lao Huihui and others what happened in Shenqiu, and everyone knew why Ge Liyan was so late all the way.

"General Li," He Yilong said dissatisfiedly, "Since we have been invited to provide for the big things, we must make it clear!" You don't say that there are such strong officials and troops as Li Yan in Henan, but what are you talking about controlling Henan and providing great things! ”

Li Zicheng explained: "Brother, you have wronged me. Li Yan has already agreed to cooperate with me, so Henan is our territory. ”

"Then why is he still beating us?!" He Yilong asked dissatisfiedly. In fact, they only lost more than 3,000 people, the elite lost more than 1,000 people, and the rest were homeless. However, what frightened them was the combat effectiveness of Li Yan's troops, just a face, they lost 3,000 people, and if they came back in a few more rounds, they would have to explain their 30,000 or 40,000 elites. Without the backbone of elite soldiers, they are somewhat different from those homeless people.

Zuo Jin Wang He Jin said with a smile: "Maybe I didn't see your banner clearly, anyway, the loss is not big, just make it clear." ”

Liu Xiyao roared: "Why didn't you see the flag clearly?!" They are shooting at our banner! If we weren't under the banner at the time, we would have been either dead or seriously injured by now! ”

He Jin didn't speak with a dark face, although he was the strongest in the five camps, but the others were more respectful of Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, and they were also more obedient to He Yilong, but they didn't give him too much face as the strongest person.

Ma Shouying said: "Forget it, things have happened, let's see the future." After that, he hugged his fists at Li Zicheng and said: "Since General Li invited us here, I don't think we will suffer any more losses, right?" ”

Li Zicheng smiled awkwardly and nodded: "Brother Ma is right, this time there was a little accident and the two leaders were injured. If you are not satisfied, then Li is willing to do his best to destroy Li Yan and give your leaders a breath of anger. ”

He Yilong and the others all looked at each other, not knowing how Li Zicheng's attitude towards Li Yan changed so quickly.

Before these people could speak, Luo Ru interjected coldly: "Zicheng, didn't you make it difficult for Leader He to lead them?" Li Yan is so powerful, our losses are not thousands, but tens of thousands of horses. If we fight Li Yan hard, when Li Yan is destroyed, we will all collapse, how can we fight the world? It's better to cooperate with Li Yan. Let's talk about it first, go and fight Li Yan, I won't get involved, I will take the team to Huguang to play. ”

After that, Luo Rucai invited He Jin and the others: "Leader He, Brother Ma, are you interested in being together?" ”

He Yilong smiled and arched his hand: "We still have to discuss." ”

"Don't worry, you discuss slowly, I'll wait." Luo Rucai said with a smile.
