The big camp under the mountain was a pot of porridge because of the sudden sneak attack of the Tang army, and those who put out the fire fought the fire, those who sent troops sent troops, and those who looked for horses looked for horses.

The soldiers who attacked the Tang army on the mountain were holding torches at the moment, staring blankly at the earthen fort on the top of the mountain that the Tang army had defended.

There was no one here except for a small grave, not even a single wounded soldier.

"Damn, did the Tang army run away?" The leading general looked at the empty camp in a daze.

Fully prepared, he got up in the middle of the night to sneak attack, but the ghost didn't see a single one, giving him the illusion of punching the cotton.

"Come on, pass the news to the camp, and let them send cavalry up to chase the fleeing Tang army, maybe they can catch up with it if they are fast!"

"Yes!" A soldier was ordered to run out in a hurry, and in a moment he hurried into the earthen fort in a hurry. Panting, anxious, and constantly pointing fingers. "Will... Checkmate... No... Oh no..."

"Smack!" The general was a grumpy man, and he directly slapped the soldier, and by the way, he turned around twice in the same place, and sat on the ground with his ass.

"What's wrong? Didn't you tell the people below? What are you going to do when you get back? If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! Don't mother-in-law! ”

The soldier covered his face, took a deep breath, and said: "General, it's not good, our camp was attacked, the front and back were on fire, and the camp was in chaos!" ”

"What?" The general was taken aback, pushed the soldiers away, and hurriedly walked to the hillside outside to look down, and sure enough, he saw a fire in the camp at the foot of the mountain, the fire ignited the grass on the grassland, and spread very quickly, almost half of the camp was burned, and the people in the camp were desperately fighting the fire.

"How so!" Just now, the general did hear an explosion coming from the music, but the distance was too far, and he didn't think much about it, he didn't expect that the place where the explosion occurred was actually their base camp, which made him shocked and angry!

"The Tang army actually bypassed us to sneak attack the camp? Damn it! Despicable! The general scolded hatefully, and then yelled at the soldiers beside him: "Everyone! Go back and put out the fire! ”

The soldier ....... "Yes!" ”

At night, on the vast grassland, more than 5,000 Tang troops grabbed war horses and ran desperately eastward. About five miles behind them, a force of more than 10,000 Western Turkic soldiers pursued them to the death.

"Drive! Drive! Brothers! Fast! Hurry up! There are our reinforcements ahead, and the main forces are coming soon! We join them and win! At this critical time, Hou Junji didn't care whether the lie was lame or not, as long as he could arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers, no matter if he was full of loopholes, he would be involved.

Even though everyone knows that the probability of meeting the main force here is very small and small, everyone is still full of hope and gallops towards the east! Because if you get out, you can live!

"General!" While galloping on his horse, Han Feng caught up with Hou Junji's horse and asked, "General, the last general still doesn't understand, why did you let Ma Yuan send all the horses away at the beginning, but at this moment we are not riding horses and running away?" Wouldn't it be better to run at the beginning, and lose so many brothers less! ”

Hou Junji glanced at Han Feng and sneered: "Ignorance! Han Feng, after following Ben General for so many years, you have always been a little lieutenant general, and you have never had the opportunity to improve, do you know why? ”

Han Feng bowed his hand sideways respectfully, and said, "The last general doesn't know, please ask the general for advice." ”

"Humph! Because you only look at the pros and cons in front of you, calculate the small gains and losses, it's not bad to be a businessman, but unfortunately on the battlefield, it is difficult to become a big weapon after all! ”

In the Tang Dynasty, except for Chen Fei and Cheng Biting Jin, most of them looked down on businessmen, thinking that they were all opportunistic people, and it was not enough to talk about them.

He blushed, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask the general to make it clear." ”

The horse galloped on the grassland, and Hou Junji kicked his feet on the horse's belly from time to time, urging the horse to run faster. The wind squinted his eyes, but it showed the coldness in his bones even more.

"Hehe, let me ask you, if we heard that the enemy was coming that day, I would have run on horseback, not to mention that I had run away, even if I managed to run away, what would have happened if I had returned to the court? In the first battle with the Western Turks, you and I fled without a fight, and the soldiers of the people humiliated the Tang Dynasty, and ruined the morale of the army, the face of the court was greatly damaged, and it may even affect the morale of the people, and if we lose this war, when the time comes, you and I will be a capital crime that cannot be escaped! ”

As soon as Hou Junji said this, Han Feng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, indeed, it is indeed a shame to flee without a fight, and His Majesty will inevitably blame them for this, if they win in the end, it's fine, if they lose... That's really miserable!

"Now we have slain nearly 20,000 of the enemy with a small number of men, and destroyed the enemy's stables and sheepfolds, and obtained such a result, that even if we escaped, no one would feel wrong, but would praise us for our bravery. Han Feng, to fight or not to fight, do you say it's a choice war? Or do you choose not to fight? ”

Han Feng was speechless, he was a simple-minded martial artist, he really didn't think about it so much at first, but now that Hou Junji said this, he couldn't speak.

"Hehe, and it wasn't for nothing that I let Ma Yuan take our horses with me at that time. Han Feng, if you were Ma Yuan and knew that we were under siege, what would you do? ”

Han Feng thought for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "If I were Ma Yuan, I would definitely not stand idly by, otherwise the imperial court would definitely ask for the guilt." Take your horses and just go back to arming the army, and it's best to convince some herders to come and support them! In this way, you can also make a lot of credit! ”

"Hahaha!" Hou Junji laughed loudly: "Han Feng! It seems that you are not hopelessly stupid, yes, the analysis is good, I guess Ma Yuan has already brought reinforcements for us, and we are on the way here! ”

"But... How does Ma Yuan know where we are going? We never sent a letter to him........"

"Humph! I just praised you for being smart, and then I was stupid again! Do you think Ma Yuan is really as brainless as you? If you were Ma Yuan and learned that we were at war with the Western Turks, would you really leave without leaving a single soldier? He must have placed scouts in the distance where we were engaged to observe the movements of the battlefield. Now that we have successfully broken through, he will naturally receive the news! ”

"So ......."

Hou Junji slapped the whip and laughed loudly: "So we don't need to go to him at all, as long as we run in one direction, Ma Yuan will inevitably come to reinforcements when he recruits soldiers!" ”

Han Feng was stunned, then quickly figured it out, turned his head and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, work harder towards the east, let's run towards the east!" There will definitely be a way out! Let's rush along! Drive! ”
