Cavalry galloping.

The line is very long, these days, they have been maintaining a high-intensity march, on average every day only about an hour of rest, the rest of the time, all on the horse, eating, drinking and Lazar are basically settled immediately. Since the formation of the cavalry battalion, Yu Chao has only done this when he is conducting high-intensity training, but the longest time is only one day and one night. But now, it has been five days and five nights in a row, and one hour of rest every day has almost pulled every cavalry to the limit.

All the soldiers are extremely tired, and from time to time someone will be injured because of falling off the horse, even Yu Chao himself feels extremely difficult. And all this is because of a message sent by His Majesty.

"If you can catch up, try to catch up!"

Since the time of Taiping City, Yu Chao has followed Qin Feng's left and right, Qin Feng's order seems to be very ordinary, but Yu Chao understands the meaning of the emperor's words, although he doesn't know what kind of storm this escaped Ma Chao will stir up and make His Majesty a little reckless, but His Majesty must have his reason for doing so.

In fact, their current state is very dangerous. If Ma Chao didn't run away for his life at this time, but secretly hid somewhere, he would definitely be able to give them a fatal blow.

Even if the Wind Chasing Battalion is an iron-clad man, even if each of their cavalry is equipped with two horses, they can't stand such a day and night pursuit.

"General Yu, look!" On the galloping horse, the deputy general Lin Kun pointed to the side, and a broken flag fluttered in the wind on a small mound.

Yu Chao raised his hand, reined in his horse and slowed down, and behind him, thousands of cavalry slowly stopped.

"Order, rest!" Yu Chao said to Lin Kundao beside him. But he rode his horse slowly toward the hill in front of him.

In the distance, corpses and some dead horses were already seen all over the hills.

Yu Chao accelerated forward, the guards behind him had already overtaken him, and the horse rushed up the small hill, and after a while, he hit the horse back again, and his face was a little unsightly.

"General, there are dead people on it, it is our Ming Dynasty's caravan and guard, it is the people of Mingwei's dart bureau, and the banner is also Mingwei's dart flag!" One of the guards presented the flag to Yu Chao.

This dart flag is very familiar to Yu Chao, for more than a year, the banner of the Ming Wei Dart Bureau has blossomed all over the territory of the former Qin State, and they have replaced the Ming army, engaged in local security, suppressing bandits, and guarding the caravan.

Yu Chao turned over and dismounted, striding towards the small hill.

The dead corpses on the ground were dressed in Mingwei dart uniforms, ordinary people's clothes, and some thunder sergeant costumes, Yu Chao stopped beside a war horse, used the scabbard in his hand to remove the hair on the horse's body, and saw the brand on it, it was indeed the war horse of the Thunder Army that escaped.

"General, it seems that one of our caravans encountered this thunder army, and in a hurry we could only form a defense on this small hill, but after all, the disparity in strength was too great, and it was finally destroyed." Lin Kun squatted in front of a corpse and observed for a while, "Looking at the situation, it should have been two days ago."

Two days! Yu Chao's face sank like water, even if he pursued day and night, it was just to close the gap between the two sides, and the Thunder Army was not slow to escape.

He walked up the hill, and the anger in his eyes was even stronger.

Everyone died miserably, and the carriage enclosed a small defensive line, with layers of dead bodies inside, and not a single survivor. And all the supplies that should have been on the wagon were looted.

Yu Chao sat on the wheel of a damaged carriage a little tiredly, "Can you find out your identity?"

Lin Kun nodded: "The Mingwei Dart Bureau adopts militarized management, and it also applies to the management regulations of my Ming army, and every dart master has an identity nameplate, but those businessmen can't be checked."

"Put away the nameplates of these dart masters, take them back and send them to the headquarters of the Mingwei Dart Bureau, as long as the identities of these dart masters are clarified, who is the caravan they are protecting this trip will also be clear. People are dead outside, we can't take their bones back, but we have to bring a message back, and in the future, their descendants will have a place to go to the grave and burn incense. Pack it up and bury everyone!"

"Yes, General!" Lin Kun nodded.

Although his body was tired and abnormal, there was a fire burning in Yu Chao's heart. Along the way, he had seen too many such scenes, not only the merchants, escorts, and officials of the Ming Kingdom who died, but even the ordinary people of the Qin Kingdom, as long as they were on this road, there would basically be no survivors.

This Thunder Army is extremely vicious, not only taking things, but also killing people.

Yu Chao really didn't understand, if you want to escape, you need supplies, food, and robbing, which is understandable, but why kill all the people? Is it just to vent your anger?

No one would rebel against an army of thousands of strong cavalry, they could easily snatch what they needed and go away, without committing murder.

It can only be said that the commander of this army is psychologically completely out of control. He kills people not for any strategic goal, but simply to vent his grievances.

"In the hands of Lao Tzu, I have to cut you into seventeen or eighteen pieces!" Yu Chao thought angrily in his heart.

He took out the map from his bosom and looked at the route traced by charcoal, which was a straight escape route to Qinghe County. By now, Ma Chao's goal was already obvious, they were going to pass through Qinghe County and cross the Luoying Mountains to the Chu State.

Yu Chao is now very worried about Qinghe County. As the capital of a county, the population is the largest, and there are also more Ming merchants and guards concentrated there, and if Ma Chao captures it, the loss will be greater.

He longed to grow wings and fly there, but when he looked down the hill, the dismounted soldiers were lying on the spot and sleeping, some still biting half a piece of meat in their mouths, some still holding a kettle in their hands, but their men were already asleep.

The soldiers were so tired.

"Rest for an hour and go!" He said to Lin Kun beside him. Here the soldiers who were responsible for burying the bodies also rested for an hour afterwards before setting off to chase us. It's still a day's distance from Qinghe County, and tomorrow, we must rush somewhere."

"General, will Ma Chao attack Qinghe County?" Lin Kun asked worriedly.

"I don't know." Yu Chao shook his head, Ma Chao is no longer able to speculate with common sense, who knows what this madman will do like crazy.

An hour later, the sound of a loud bugle sounded, and the sleeping soldier jumped up from the ground like a spring, rubbed his face vigorously, turned on his horse, and quickly formed a team.

When the sound of the military horn sounded again, under the leadership of Yu Chao, they rushed all the way towards the direction of Qinghe County. Behind them, only a small group of centaurs remained, carrying the corpses from the top of the hill to the pit that had just been dug and buried them.

The broken banner of the Mingwei Dart Game was planted on the grave.

A day later, Yu Chao finally saw the banner of Qinghe County, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when he saw the Ming banner still fluttering above the county tower.

Qinghe County is still there.

Riding a horse and galloping to the bottom of the city, he saw that the city gate was closed, and above the city, there were countless people patrolling back and forth with weapons in hand, and when they saw the banner of the wind chasing camp, the people on the city wall could not help but cheer loudly.

The city gate opened immediately, and several civil officials and a man dressed in Mingwei Dart Bureau dart uniform strode out.

"General Yu, you're finally here! This official is Huang Guozhong, the keeper of Qinghe County." The civil officials headed towards Yu Chao arched their hands.

Yu Chao hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and saluted Huang Guozhong, the guard of a county has been sealed as a big official, even if Huang Guozhong is just an empty county guard now, there is no one to ask for people, no money to ask for money, no soldiers to have soldiers, but the county guard is the county guard, and the level is much higher than Yu Chao.

"Yu Chao has seen Huang Junshou, and he hurried along a certain road, for fear that Ma Chao would poison the county town, but fortunately everything is fine!" YU Chaodao.

"This is thanks to Mr. Guan Ningguan, if it weren't for Mr. Guan here, I'm afraid that General Yu would only be able to see Huang's head hanging high above the tower of this county town today." Huang Guozhong pointed to the man wearing the Mingwei Dart Bureau dart uniform next to him and introduced: "This is Mr. Guan Ningguan, the chief dart head of the Mingwei Dart Bureau."

"Guan Ning has seen General Yu!" Guan Ning strode up, but he gave Yu Chao a military salute. Yu Chao is not surprised, solemnly return the courtesy, Mingwei, Tianwu The dart masters in the two major dart bureaus, most of them are soldiers who have retired from the ranks, this Guan Ning can have such a great appeal to form the Mingwei dart game, then his previous status in the army should not be low.

"If Mr. Guan hadn't gotten the news in advance, he withdrew all the people around this left and west to the county town, and organized Mingwei, the dart master of the Tianwu Dart Bureau, and all the young people we could find to guard the city and retreat tightly, the county town of Qinghe would not be there. The Qin army tentatively attacked, and when they saw that there were defenses in the city, they led the army to retreat."

"I don't know if Lord Huang can prepare some supplies for our army, and we still have to pursue them." YU Chaodao.

Huang Guozhong shook his head and said: "General Yu, it's too late, a day ago, they had already left Qinghe County, with their footsteps, I'm afraid that they have already entered the Luoying Mountain Range."

"Even if they flee to the Chu State, I will chase after them." Yu Chao said angrily.

"General Yu, if they really escape to the Chu State, it will not be a simple matter, I am afraid they will have to wait for the order of the imperial court." Huang Guozhong shook his head. I think the imperial court will react to this immediately, and General Yu doesn't need to be too anxious, I see that your soldiers are very tired, so it is better to rest here first and wait for news!"
