Chapter 573: The Two Armies Chase
Lin Xiao can have today's status and be promoted to the Duke of Jin, which is related to his royal birth, but it is more important to rely on fighting on the battlefield and relying on the accumulation of military merits in exchange for the position of Duke of Jin.

So, he's not a fool who can't tell the priorities of things. At this moment, hearing Lin Feng's words, he clearly pursued the Tiger Ben Army and captured Handan City, which is more important.
In the face of military affairs and private affairs, he will never act rashly.
After all, the Yan army has been preparing for more than half a year, the purpose is only to annex the Zhao State, once the capture of Handan City, it will mark the loss of the Emperor Zhao, and the Zhao State exists in name only, and the symbolic meaning is far greater than the pursuit of Li Mu.
Moreover, after the complete annexation of Zhao, Yan will connect the three former vassal states of Zhao Yanjin and dominate the north, and point the sword at Song.
Such a major event is by no means comparable to Li Mu's inability to escape the Song Kingdom.
Seeing that Lin Xiao was full of confidence, Lin Feng smiled, patted the other party on the shoulder, and said, "I believe in your ability, no matter what, it is always a good thing to capture Handan City." ”
Lin Xiao once captured Jinyang City, the imperial capital of the Jin Kingdom, and captured Suiyang City, the imperial city of the Liang State, so he was better at attacking cities and plundering land.
As far as the Yan army is concerned, he is one of the few generals who is good at both long-distance field battles and fortified cities.
In the past, the Yan army once entered Handan City, and the defense in Handan City was clear, perhaps, there are still many defenders in Handan City, but it will not be too difficult to capture Handan City.
If Lin Xiao can capture Handan City, it will be another great achievement.
"Hmmm! Brother Huang goes south with peace of mind! Lin Xiao nodded, no longer verbose, and turned to Ashina and said, "The whole army is open, quickly go to the western front, and go straight to Handan City!" ”
Seeing Lin Xiao go west, Lin Feng did not stay for long.
According to the information just received, the Tiger Ben Army ambushed Lin Xiao yesterday and headed for the south of Qingyang County.
For more than a day, if the Tiger Ben army marched rapidly at night, it would definitely be more than a hundred miles away from the Yan army, although the Yan army was mostly cavalry, it was not easy to reduce this distance.
If the delay continues, it is very likely that the Tiger Ben Army will flee from the Yan Army.
In addition, according to the map identification, there is a large river in the south of Qingyang County, and there is a pontoon bridge in the river, once the Tiger Ben army crosses and destroys the pontoon bridge, it will completely cut off the contact between the two armies.
At that time, Yan Jun only sighed with hope, and watched the tiger army flee from under his eyelids.
The Yan army went south, spending a lot of time and energy, if the other party was allowed to escape, all the previous efforts would be in vain.
Holding his breath in his heart, Lin Feng drew out his horse chopping knife and shouted: "The whole army continues to move south, eating while pursuing, and it is absolutely impossible to let the Tiger Ben Army reach the Song Kingdom safely." ”
"Kill, kill, kill!" A continuous roar came from the ranks of the Yan army.
Startle the birds on all sides!
In an instant, the Yan army team that had just stopped moved again, and the dogs and wolves opened the way, light horses, and blade warriors, followed closely behind, and marched towards the south.
This time, instead of scattering and parting, the roaring canine wolves swarmed south.
Looking at it, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile secretly, judging from the direction of the dog wolf's pursuit, the Tiger Ben Army had indeed gathered here, and when they went south, they still gathered together.
Once they catch up with the other party, it will be possible to uproot the Tiger Army, and perhaps, there is a possibility of directly capturing Li Mu.
After traveling for several miles, Bai Yisheng couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, this place is nearly two hundred miles away from the Qingyang River, and it takes more than half a day to get rid of it, is the emperor sure?" ”
Lin Feng's face was resolute, and he said categorically: "No matter whether you can catch up with the other party or not, you must always try."
”
"Your Majesty, according to what the Duke of Jin said, the Tiger Ben Army passed through Qingyang County yesterday, and without war horses, they won't go too far." Heng Bangchang rode on his war horse, and while advancing, he changed to Lin Feng and said: "Even if the Tiger Ben Army passes through Qingyang County, this time, if you continue to pursue, you will definitely be able to encircle and annihilate the other party." ”
The two have completely different ideas, but Heng Bangchang's ideas are more far-sighted, and failure is not terrible, so he is afraid of not daring to try.
Lin Feng's face did not change, nor did he agree with Heng Bangchang's suggestion, after confronting Li Mu, for several days, Yan Jun did not get any benefits, and he was a little apprehensive about Li Mu.
I didn't dare to show confidence anymore, and couldn't help but say: "Don't say too much, the Tiger Ben Army is moving south, no matter who deploys this matter, it is enough to see that the other party is not an idle person, and it is difficult to predict whether there will be any changes on the way south, so before catching up with the Tiger Ben Army, everyone must not take it lightly." ”
In the past, he boasted that he didn't take anyone seriously, but since he came into contact with Lin Shuying, Liu Zhuoya, and Li Mu, he found that many things were not as simple as he imagined.
Chasing along the way, often in the air, the tiger army still slipped under his eyelids, and his patience had long been exhausted.
But he was still holding his breath, he didn't want to give up, and he didn't dare to give up, maybe Li Mu had more military talent and could survive in a desperate situation and play him around.
However, he believed that he would eventually come to Jitai, so he didn't dare to be too proud if he didn't pursue before the Tiger Army.
Bai Yisheng very much agreed with Lin Feng's thoughts, and in the past few days, the pressure in his heart has also increased unconsciously, but he still persuaded: Your Majesty, I am too anxious, there is a dog and wolf legion, as long as the Tiger Ben Army is still in the territory of Zhao State, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we can find out the other party. ”
"Dig three feet into the ground, even if Li Mu escapes to the Song Kingdom, he must be eliminated, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Lin Feng's words were sharp, with a ruthlessness.
The more he knew about Li Mu, the more he felt that Li Mu was not simple, and he was too hasty and careless to wait for Li Mu to lead the Tiger Ben army to surrender.
Therefore, from the beginning of the pursuit of Li Mu, he never despised the other party, and even thought hard, since Li Mu could not be used by the Yan State, nor could he be left to the Song State, he must not create a strong opponent for himself.
At this moment, after Li Mu led the army through the defense line of the Yan army, he still did not dare to rest, let alone delay, and the army continued to move south rapidly.
He knew very well that the cavalry of the Yan army would not march too slowly, especially when Lin Feng learned that the Tiger Ben Army was ready to defect to the Song State, let alone let the Tiger Ben Army pass.
Since the other party had an iron mind and led the main army south, if the two armies met, it would be strange if Lin Feng didn't crush him.
However, people's energy is always limited, and after a night of rapid marching, although the Tiger Ben Army got rid of the Lin Xiao Army, it still did not get out of Qingyang County.
To make matters worse, the Tiger Army showed signs of physical exhaustion, and many of them were pale and panting, and they had long since lost their previous vigor.
Looking at it, Li Muqing couldn't help but worry, in order to go south smoothly and not attract the attention of the Yan army, the Huben army took the initiative to give up the war horse and move forward on foot.
At first, I thought that the Yan army would not notice it in a short time, but when the other party found out, the tiger army would definitely go south smoothly.
If the Yan army wants to pursue again, it will definitely be beyond the reach of the whip.
Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, and they don't know where an accident happened, and the Yan army learned of the transfer of the Tiger Ben Army in advance.
After losing the war horse, the Tiger Ben army traveled a long distance, which was a great test of the physical strength of the soldiers, especially under the rapid march, which was simply the ultimate challenge to the human body.
As he walked forward, Yan Wushuang walked up quickly, his face was haggard, his expression was full of exhaustion, and he said weakly: "General, if you don't rest, otherwise, if you can't get out of Qingyang County, many people in the Tiger Ben Army will probably die of exhaustion." ”
Li Mu looked back at the Tiger Benjun, and saw that everyone was weak and exhausted, and their legs seemed to be filled with molten iron, walking with difficulty.
He also knew that in a continuous hurry, everyone's fatigue would increase more and more, and at this moment, even he himself was tired and panting, and he couldn't wait to lie on the ground immediately and rest well.
However, the Yan army was like a dog's skin plaster, biting the back, resting at this moment, and the next moment, if the Yan army pursued, many people would die alive.
With a serious face, he rejected Yan Wushuang's request, and reminded: "We can't rest for the time being, if we want to rest, we have to cross the Qingyang River in the south of Qingyang County, after destroying the pontoon bridge and blocking the southward passage of the Yan army, we don't have to worry anymore." ”
Qingyang River is the boundary between Qingyang County and Yangcheng County in the south, the river is wide and the river is turbulent, if the pontoon bridge above is cut off, it will mean that Qingyang County and Yangcheng County lose contact.
If you forcibly reach Yangcheng County, you must go 100 miles to the west and pass through the flat water, so whether you can cross the Qingyang River will become the last reliance on whether the Huben army will get rid of the Yan army.
Hearing this, Yan Wushuang patted his head and exclaimed: "That's right, General Zhang will cross the Qingyang River pontoon bridge first, and he will definitely leave a small number of troops to control the pontoon bridge!" ”
The exhausted Yan Wushuang couldn't help but urge the Tiger Army, so the exhausted team, under the compulsion of Li Mu and Yan Wushuang, continued to force their way.
As long as you stick to it for one day and arrive at Qingyang River in the evening, you will have no worries at all. Many of the Tiger Warriors muttered in their hearts, comforting themselves.
For a time, Qingyang County stretched for thousands of miles, and a strange phenomenon appeared, separated by a distance of more than 100 miles, tens of thousands of homeless people in front of them, and hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Yan army in the back were in hot pursuit.
As the cavalry pursued, the two teams got closer and closer, and it is believed that if they were aware of each other's existence, they would realize that it was only a matter of time before the two teams met.
Until the evening, when the team of the Tiger Ben Army was about to be a few miles away from the pontoon bridge, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves behind them, although there was no trace of the Yan Army, but with experience, Li Mu knew that the Yan Army had caught up.
He couldn't understand why the Yan army knew the route of the Tiger Ben Army and accurately chased it to the pontoon bridge of the Qingyang River.
At the same time, he also lamented the speed of the Yan army's march, and no longer crossed the pontoon bridge, the suffering and sweat that the Tiger Ben army had suffered in the past two days would be in vain.
If he didn't understand, he didn't dare to think about it, at this moment, he had to ensure that the army all crossed the pontoon bridge before the Yan army appeared, otherwise, the life of the Tiger Ben army would be in danger.
"Hurry, hurry, work harder, go south quickly, and strive to cross the pontoon bridge before the Yan army catches up." Li Mu yelled at the army, endured exhaustion, gritted his teeth, led the team, and ran wildly.
