A few days later, Lu Ying, who had just defeated a Julu County soldier, was urgently transferring with his soldiers and trekking between the swamps and wetlands.

Right now, the place where they are located is where the largest body of water in Julu County is located, the mainland of the continent.

Sima Qian recorded in the "Historical Records": Dayu guides the river, crosses the river in the north, and as for the mainland. The river is the Yellow River, and the mainland is the mainland.

For a long time before the Spring and Autumn Period, the direction of the Yellow River was to pass through the mainland according to the Yudao River, and then enter the sea to the north. In the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yellow River was left in the east, and after never returning, the mainland Zecai was completely cut off from the Yellow River.

In spite of this, there are originating from the foothills of the Taihang Mountains, such as the water, the water, and the water into the Ze, known as one of the nine rivers in the world, is still a large water area in Hebei Province, where the water is converging, and the waves are magnificent.

Passing through the thick grass of the water, the heavy footsteps of the sergeants alarmed the animals that were inhabiting the water's edge, and for a moment a few waterfowl flew out of the weeds at the water's edge, and with a clucking and chirping wildly, they moved away from them and escaped into the misty Daze.

Lu Ying looked at the direction in which the waterfowl flew away, and withdrew his gaze with some envy.

At this moment, why didn't he want to become a water bird, get rid of all kinds of shackles in front of him, spread his wings and fly high, soaring above the clouds and blue waves.

But the reality is that he still has to continue to wear muddy boots and drag his heavy body to continue tossing and turning in the continent.

Time pushed back to a few days ago, and after crossing the Hutuo River in Zhongshan Country, the soldiers and horses of the Koji Rebellion crossed the border and crossed the Hutuo River, and then entered the lax garrison of Julu County.

The garrison of Julu County is very lax, but this is not to blame for the county's order. Being in the hinterland of Hebei, since Yuan Shaoxiong was in Hebei, he has always been Hebei's soldiers to attack the enemy, and there has never been an accident when the enemy invades the heart.

Therefore, when Lu Yi, a light soldier with only weapons under the banner of Yuan's army, seized the city gate of Xiaquyang and entered the city, the whole process was like a smooth flow, and he did not suffer from the fierce resistance of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

In the city, the Koji family, who had traveled more than 200 miles, killed many war horses along the way, and escaped from two or three hundred soldiers, succeeded in recapturing the city, and finally could breathe a great sigh of relief.

Lu Yi still played the pretense of bluffing, ordered the slaughter of pigs and sheep, rewarded the soldiers, and opened the arsenal in the city, equipped the soldiers under his command, and requisitioned the horses in the city into the army, so that the soldiers could replenish dry food, water, and change clothes······

Just when the soldiers under his command were immersed in the joy of the victory carnival, Lu Yi looked at the map and worriedly told Lu Ying, Lu Guang and others that the next battle would become more and more difficult to fight.

They invaded the lax hinterland of Hebei, which meant that they fell into the heavy encirclement of the Yuan army, and then they would suffer all kinds of pursuits, interceptions, and ambushes on the way, and if they were not careful, the whole army would be annihilated.

And the news of their capture of Quyang will soon be known to the county generals of Julu County, and at the same time, this urgent military situation will also be sent to Hejian, Yecheng and other places, and the Yuan army from all walks of life will soon flock to intercept and kill them.

Although Xiaquyang was rich, they could not stay for a long time, and the whole army had to evacuate quickly after repairing.

Externally, Lu Yi coerced a group of city soldiers with great fanfare, claiming that he wanted to invade Changshan Country and open up Jingcheng, but in fact, the elite main force that he had once again replenished had continued to move south, and rushed to the mainland Zezhong in the territory of Julu with lightning speed.

Of course, after this kind of tactic is used once, the effect of using it again will be greatly reduced.

The suspicious soldiers who claimed to be attacking the Changshan Kingdom could only arouse the careful vigilance of the Yuan army stationed in the territory of the Changshan Kingdom, and did not dare to act rashly, but they could not hide the officials and county soldiers who were familiar with the local geography in the territory of Julu.

After a few skirmishes during this period, Lu Yi's soldiers and horses were able to enter the mainland, which was conducive to concealing their whereabouts, and they were able to take a breath for the time being.

However, the Julu County soldiers, who were familiar with geography and pursued at the tail of the tail, soon rushed to the mainland and began to send troops to continuously search for the traces of the soldiers and horses.

If they want to continue to advance, they must defeat the Julu soldiers who are closely behind, so Lu Yi temporarily changed his plan to go south and began to take his men and horses to trek around the mainland to fight, in an attempt to deplete the morale and military strength of the Julu soldiers, and find suitable fighters to destroy them in turn.

It's just that before the Julu County soldiers were wiped out, they learned another bad news from the mouths of the captives, and Yuan Shang and Wen Chou also chased all the way to the mainland with their cavalry.

···

"Childe, please see, these fallen horses and abandoned armor along the way all prove that the men and horses of Lu Yi have reached the end of the crossbow. Although the mainland Ze is conducive to concealing their whereabouts, the men and horses cannot be fed in time, the war horses will continue to die, and the soldiers will trek forward on the muddy land in order to preserve their strength, and they will also abandon the armor on their bodies. ”

"Coupled with fatigue and disease, this is enough to drag down the remnants of the army that is short of food and grass, and isolated!"

Wen Chou, who was wearing armor, was stout, he pointed to the clues found along the way, and couldn't help but say loudly to Yuan Shang who was traveling with him.

Compared with the cavalry general Wen Chou, who pursued for a long distance but was still energetic, Yuan Shang, who spent most of his time in fine clothes and jade food in the past, was obviously much less energetic.

When they set out to pursue, the encirclement besieging Gongsun Chan of Yijing had become full of holes because of the rebellion of Lu Yi and the attack of Gongsun Zhan, and the cavalry under the command of Gongsun Chan was even more like divine help, repeatedly avoiding the real and attacking the false, and captured several cities in Zhuojun, Hejian, and Zhongshan.

Even with it, the disappeared Black Mountain thieves and the suppressed local heroes in Youzhou have faint signs of resurgence.

Yuan Shang could only leave Fu Zhiqiang behind and let him clean up this mess with Chun Yuqiong, Yan Liang and other Hebei generals, so that these people could take most of the responsibility for him in the future.

He and Wen Chou took light horses and galloped for a long distance, chasing and killing the soldiers and horses that fled south, preparing to use Lu Yi's head to make up for the merits and make up for the remaining blame on himself.

It was only after the long-distance pursuit of three or four hundred miles that Yuan Shang, who had broken his thigh and regretted it, realized that the pursuit of the army led by this convicted person was not necessarily much better than the generals who stayed in the river to clean up the mess.

Fortunately, as far as the current situation is concerned, it seems that he led the army to chase and kill Lu Yi is already a victory, which makes Yuan Shang, who has not removed his armor and never left the saddle for a long time, feel a little better, and the bloody inner thigh does not seem to hurt so much.

The ears just now were buzzing with a loud voice that was as ugly as thunder, and Yuan Shang subconsciously urged the horses and opened a distance from this martial artist.

Glancing at the rugged and bearded Wen Chou, thinking about the various gains and losses after he left Yecheng this time, Yuan Shang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He seems to be a powerful son on the top, but sometimes, he is not as happy as a reckless man who only knows how to fight in the army!

Just as Yuan Shang was secretly lamenting, an elite scout in front of him came quickly, separated the team all the way, and captured a fugitive soldier in the armor of the county soldier on the saddle.

"Yu Gongzi, general, his subordinates captured a fugitive soldier in the front, and the torture learned that this person was a general of the Julu County Army, according to his own words, one of their Julu County soldiers had just been ambushed by the rebels in the front, and suffered heavy casualties. This man escaped from the battle, so he was captured by his subordinates. ”

The scout saluted his horse, threw the captured general under his horse, jumped off his horse with great dexterity, pulled his head up, and pulled out the rags that were stuffed in the mouth of the soldier.

The general had just learned that the two horsemen in front of him were the general's son and the general-level figures, and he was already frightened, and as soon as he spoke, he hurriedly clarified his actions.

"Childe, the general spares his life, the villain did not escape from the battle, but was invincible in battle, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, so he had to kill the bloody road and break through for help."

"Be honest."

When the scout heard that the general denied his claim, he immediately kicked him hard, knocking him to the ground again. He is an elite cavalry under the command of Wen Chou, and he is also an arrogant person in the army on weekdays, dealing with a county soldier who is temporarily recruited into battle, or a fugitive who escapes from the battle, so he will naturally not be very polite.

"That's enough."

Wen Chou had already dismounted from his tall war horse at this time, stopped the scout's violence, he stretched out his thick arm, and easily grabbed the county soldier like a chicken, pulled him aside, and asked in a loud voice:

"Tell me, how many rebels your Julu County soldiers have encountered in the front, banners, war horses, armor, and weapons, all of which must be explained to me one by one."

"General, the rebels who ambushed us in front ,,, are numerous, I am afraid that there are as many as four or five thousand ,,,, they are all well-armed, they are the elite of the rebels-"

Before the county soldier general's trembling words were finished, Wen Chou had already reached out and slapped an ear scraper, Wen Chou's strength was extremely strong, and this time he almost deformed the face of the county soldier general, blood and tears rushed out at once, and a few teeth fell out.

"Don't lie about the military situation to General Ben, just tell me what you saw with your own eyes, otherwise-"

In order to escape responsibility, the defeated soldiers often like to find ways to exaggerate the military strength of the enemy, and words similar to "It's not that our army is incompetent, it's really too strong" are endless, and it is easy to spread false rumors and confuse the morale of other soldiers and horses.

Of course, Wen Chou, who has been in battle for a long time, can tell that some of these words are true, if Lu Yi has four or five thousand elite soldiers with neat armor, he would have turned back and defeated the Julu County soldiers, where do you still need to die on the mainland, endure the price of continuous loss of men and horses along the way, and desperately take them around in circles with the pursuing Yuan army.

As he spoke, Wen Chou's big palm had already clenched into a fist, and he had no doubt that if he punched with all his strength next, he would be able to kill this county soldier who was branded as a deserter.
