"Chase, chase Lao Tzu!!"

The angry Dashun cavalry commander, Li Zicheng's nephew Li Jin, looked at the messy battlefield and was indescribably defeated.

In his opinion, his cavalry should be fighting in the front line and be the best candidate for the vanguard general, but Li Zicheng stayed in the middle army to suppress the formation, and in the end, he was transferred from the Chinese army to the rear army.

The order of his uncle and Emperor Dashun Li Zicheng was issued, and even if Li Jin was unwilling, he could only make a fuss in his heart, and finally unwillingly took 10,000 light cavalry back to the rear army's baggage team, patrolling back and forth, looking for the cavalry team of the He family's army, which had been wandering and fighting.

Everyone was in the same camp before, although there was always a comparison of their two formed cavalry together, but because Li Zicheng's armament in this army has always been the best, and the number of cavalry is twice that of the cavalry of the He family's army, everyone still thinks that the Dashun cavalry is the best with Li Jin controlling this cavalry.

But I didn't expect that it was such a cavalry that had an advantage in the past evaluation, but in the several encounters with the cavalry of the He family army along the way, it has always tended to be passive, and until now it has not been able to catch the head and tail of others, let alone use the numerical advantage to face off with the opponent head-on.

This is already more than half a month after Li Jin's cavalry army returned to reinforce the baggage team, the fourth time that it has succeeded, although these four baggage teams are small in scale and the loss is not large, but in terms of face, Li Jin is becoming more and more unable to let go!

"No!"

The scouts took the order and left, tracking the traces left by the cavalry of the He family's army, looking for the wilderness in the southeast, while more Dashun cavalry slowly followed behind the scouts under the command of their respective leaders.

Beside Li Jin, his righteous son Li Laiheng hesitated on his face, and wanted to open his mouth to comfort him, but seeing that his father-in-law's anger had not subsided, he could only temporarily shut up and wait for his father-in-law to dissipate his anger before persuading.

Tracking all the way, until the sky became dark, the cavalry of the army failed to catch up with the traces of the cavalry of the He family's army, seeing that the sky was not conducive to the march, and it had been out of the official road for twenty or thirty miles, and it was impossible to turn back tonight, so Li Jin could only order the army to find a suitable boundary and set up a meal on the spot.

"Father, as the so-called poor Kou Mo chases, our main task is to protect the logistics baggage team, if we chase the back of the butt of the thief cavalry like this, the child is worried about whether he will fall into the scheme of the demonstration household!"

It was only at this time, after Li Jin's mood calmed down, that Li Laiheng dared to give advice to his father-in-law.

"Hmph, this group of gutless bandits, they only dare to do this thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs, let Lao Tzu seize the opportunity to bite them, and see if Lao Tzu doesn't tear them alive!!"

Even without Li Laiheng's persuasion, in fact, Li Jin, who calmed down at this time, also returned to his senses, and he didn't even see a shadow of the other party in the pursuit for half a day, Li Jin knew that his expectations had been disappointed, and now if the other party bypassed the wilderness and went to trouble the baggage army on the official road, I was afraid that he would have a headache!

Hearing that his father-in-law had already shown his intention to retreat, Li Laiheng no longer persuaded more, but followed the other party's words and patted his ass slightly: "The father-in-law is wise and martial, and he knows that he is invincible, so he can only do this ghostly and shameless thing, and when will the hardware seize the opportunity to bite and let this group of thieves pay the price of blood!" ”

Li Jin nodded with satisfaction, not realizing that what his righteous son Li Laiheng said was false, and while accepting it calmly, he did not forget to care about his important righteous son: "Stay and eat with me tonight!" ”

"The child can't ask for it!"

Li Laiheng smiled and hurriedly agreed.

However, the reality did not give Li Jin and their father and son a chance to enjoy their family in peace, just as the two were having dinner, suddenly a quick horse knocked on the scout who knocked on the temporary camp, and brought back a piece of news, which made Li Jin and them suddenly shocked: "Report to the general!" ”

"Seal the order of my General Zhang Nai, please General Li quickly return to help and save the life of my logistics army!!"

"If there's something wrong, take your time!!"

Although his face changed greatly, compared to Li Jin, who was already angry, Li Laiheng still maintained a little sanity, and hurriedly asked.

"Ten o'clock this evening, my general was ordered by His Majesty to escort a batch of grain and grass from Kaifeng Mansion to Dongming County, but I didn't want to just enter Dongming County, and before I arrived at the post house where I stayed tonight, I was suddenly attacked by the cavalry led by the enemy chief He Sanjiang, fortunately, General Zhang's soldiers and laborers have more than 5,000 people, and they used the baggage convoy to build fortifications in time to resist the impact of the enemy's cavalry!"

"But now my general can't advance or retreat, and he urgently needs General Li to lead the army to the rescue!!"

The soldier who came to report the news took a strong breath, turned three words into two words, and told the story one by one, so that Li Jinyi finally knew the general situation.

"Impossible!!"

Li Jin felt incredible, the traces of the cavalry team of the He Family's Army that they were tracking today were so far, the enemy brigade should be in front of him, how could he run to the back to sneak attack the escort army on the official road? Could it be that they really have three heads and six arms, and they know that they can't control the clouds.

"He thief is in front of our army, how can he attack your army!!

"General, this matter is true, and my subordinates dare to use Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee!!" The soldiers who came to report the news pointed to the heavens and the earth, swore and swore very anxiously to Li Jin.

"Father, whether this is true or not, we can't sit idly by!!"

Li Laiheng pondered for a moment on the side, and then spoke to Li Jinjin.

Li Jin's mission to the west this time was to ensure the stability of the grain route in the rear, and the number of troops personally escorted by General Zhang Nai reached 5,000, indicating that the number of grain and grass he escorted was even more.

"Hmph, General Ben will believe you for the time being, someone is coming, pass on General Ben's order, and the whole army will quickly repack and return to the division!!"

The camp had just been established, and not long after dinner, the cavalry army quickly packed up and prepared to return to the camp under Li Jin's order.

The speed of marching in the middle of the night is much slower than that in the daytime, even the highly mobile army of cavalry is no exception, walking in the dark night and the mountain roads that are temporarily stepped on when coming, more than 30 miles, but it took Li Jin and them a lot of time.

And the closer they got to the official road, the closer they were to the place where Zhang Nai and them were attacked, Li Jin and the others had a suspicious look, but they gradually became serious, just the dark light like a burning cloud in the northern sky had already proved that the direction was not peaceful.
