Chapter 900: Emperor Yan's Escape (First Update)
(Recommended reading: On the official road leading to Mocheng, hundreds of horsemen galloped, trailing the infantry, marching forward, all looking panicked, but the pace was steady!
On the official road, horses' hooves rumbled and dust was flying.
Before the infantry team transferred, Lin Feng informed the two thousand infantry of his identity as Emperor Yan.
Announced on the spot that if you follow him to Dayan, you will get a high-ranking official, if you don't want to follow you, you will be given five taels of silver each, and you will return to the field!
Knowing the identity of Emperor Yan of Lin Feng, two thousand infantry, his expression was horrified and frightened, and he never thought that Mr. Lin, who led everyone to fight against the Vietnamese army, was actually from the north and was even more expensive as Emperor Yan.
Among the southern princes and people, Emperor Yan is known as the supreme of the north.
There was silence for a while, and almost no one among the infantry chose to leave!
In their opinion, if they go to the north, even if they can't get high-ranking officials and follow Emperor Yan in person, they are afraid that they will be reused in the Yan army!
In front of the cavalry, Lin Feng's face was solemn, and he turned his head from time to time to look at the carriage carrying the seven women beside him!
In the early morning, when the infantry team moved rapidly, the spies came to report that Cai Jun and the Vietnamese army had only made any moves.
When the spies came to report the second time, it was determined that the Cai army in Yecheng was dispatched and quickly pursued, and the Yue army in Lingcheng also quickly came to the west.
At this moment, he was deeply aware that his identity was completely exposed.
Before he traveled south to the world, he had felt that he was lurking in the south quietly, and the kings of the princely states would definitely not find his traces!
Thinking of the current situation, he couldn't help but chuckle dumbly, he was too arrogant and despised the southern princes before.
Emperor Chu wrote a chase and kill order, not only the Great Chu killer noticed his traces, but he was afraid that the princes and kings in the south also noticed his traces!
At present, the Yue army and the Cai army, like beasts that have survived the winter, want to quickly hunt for food to replenish the hunger in their stomachs after learning their whereabouts.
However, Lin Feng secretly chuckled, the tens of thousands of infantry of Cai Yue's two armies, even if they bite themselves tightly and pursue them on foot, without accidents, the infantry will never be able to chase the pace of the cavalry!
Moreover, as long as they break into the forest ahead, set up ambushes along the road, and obstruct them step by step, it will greatly delay the time of the two armies.
Once you pass through the forest and arrive at Mocheng, you will completely get rid of the pursuit of the Vietnamese army, and it will be difficult for the other party to capture you alive!
In terms of Cai's army, there is Feng Yi fighting in Cai State, no matter what Cai Jun's attitude is, on the surface, at least he does not dare to send a large army to pursue and encircle him, unless Cai Jun ignores his own safety and returns north, and the army crosses the river to level Cai State!
At this moment, on the Yecheng side, Zhang Mingxiao, the general of the Vietnamese army, led more than 20,000 troops according to the commander's order, and when he arrived in Yecheng, he noticed that the Yecheng guards were empty.
Sending people to make a difference, it was determined that the main force of Yecheng pursued Emperor Yan, Zhang Mingxiao was categorical, and instantly made a decision to lead the army to attack the city.
The big war is about to break out, and the Vietnamese army has the advantage!
Zhang Yuting, Li Hengan, and Yuan Qingmo, who passed through Yecheng, didn't care about storming Yecheng. At this time, each led his troops to the west of Yecheng, hoping to quickly find the trace of Emperor Yan and strive to capture him alive.
Regardless of the emperor's order or the commander's order, capturing Emperor Yan alive has far exceeded attacking Yecheng!
During the Yecheng period, Zhang Yuting, Li Hengan, and Yuan Qingmo led the army to part ways.
Zhang Yuting and Li Hengan led the troops to continue to block Emperor Yan's whereabouts, while Yuan Qingmo copied in to try to reach the front of the forest, blocking Emperor Yan in the area of Mocheng, so that he could not leave the forest!
Zhang Yuting led 50,000 infantry to the west of Yecheng, when the infantry cavalry team was stationed, unwilling and remorse rose in his face, if he had known that Emperor Yan was stationed in the west of Yecheng, no matter how much it cost, he would have captured Emperor Yan alive and escorted him back to Yueguo!
Seeing the ashes on the ground, Li Hengan dismounted, grabbed the ashes, put them in his hand and touched them, and then reached into the ashes and looked up to Zhang Yuting and said: "Dashuai, the ashes are dry, and there is still heat in the center, which proves that Emperor Yan led the team to leave not long ago!" ”
"Okay, very good, this time Ben Shuai wants to see, what is Emperor Yan's ability to escape from Ben Shuai's palm?" When Zhang Yuting heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, it seemed that he was bound to capture Lin Feng alive.
Li Hengan did not hesitate, quickly stepped on the war horse, led the infantry, and quickly pursued!
As a deputy general, he once followed Zhang Yuting to participate in the Northern Expedition, and he was very aware of the combat effectiveness and movement speed of the Dayan cavalry.
At this moment, he was not sure if the Vietnamese infantry would have a chance to pursue Emperor Shangyan and besiege him!
After all, in the Vietnamese army, there were only more than a dozen war horses, and the remaining infantry could not pursue the cavalry.
However, seeing the handsome's complacent appearance, he didn't dare to say anything discouraged, for fear of angering the handsome and causing him to be killed!
For a while, on the official road from Yecheng to Mocheng, the three armies moved forward quickly, chasing each other, as if three fierce beasts were chasing each other in the official road!
When the sun was three poles, Lin Feng took the lead in leading the infantry cavalry team, and led the troops into the forest with a light vehicle.
In the towering trees, the light gradually dimmed, as if entering dusk.
Fortunately, with the help of the guards, and the familiar road that I have flowed before, I am not afraid of getting lost or going in the wrong direction during the rapid journey!
Two hours later, Mu Junyan also broke into the forest with 20,000 infantry!
Carefully observe the messy grass on all sides and broken branches, but it is also certain that Emperor Yan led his troops into the forest!
At night, when the sky became completely dark, Zhang Yuting and Li Hengan also led their troops into the forest.
In the vast forest, for a while, it completely turned into a three-way chase battlefield, Lin Feng led the infantry cavalry team, and the speed did not decrease, but the speed of Cai Yue's two armies gradually became slow.
For a long time, very few people have crossed this place, and no one has ventured into it unless it is an emergency.
When he first entered the forest, Mu Junyan was worried that Lin Feng would set up an ambush, while Zhang Yuting was worried that Lin Feng and Mu Junyan would set up an ambush, for fear that he would march quickly and encounter a trap in the forest and be ambushed!
Lin Feng led the infantry cavalry team, and when he arrived in the middle of the forest, he ordered the team members to stop and rest, eat quickly, replenish their physical strength quickly, and deploy by the way, striving to give the pursuing army behind, causing casualties and delaying the other party's pursuit!
Fifty or sixty miles away, at dusk, Cai Jun, who had broken into the forest, had also stopped his pace and began to deploy!
Mu Junyan pursued the infantry cavalry team for a day, but he never saw any trace of the infantry cavalry team, and while admiring the speed of the infantry cavalry team, he was also secretly worried.
If you continue to pursue Emperor Yan and ignore the Vietnamese army behind you, once the Vietnamese army passes through the forest, Yecheng will become a lonely city, and the Vietnamese army will also come to the city, and the soldiers will threaten the imperial capital Mocheng.
It is hopeless to continue to pursue and capture Emperor Yan, but it will make Cai's situation more and more difficult, and after thinking about it, Mu Junyan decided to ambush the Yue army in the forest.
Along the way, the spies kept sending back news that the Vietnamese army not only began to attack Yecheng, but also pursued along the road, and it was obvious that the other party not only wanted to capture Yecheng, but also prepared to capture Emperor Yan alive, both prongedly.
However, in his opinion, if he is lucky enough to successfully ambush the Vietnamese army in the forest, inflict heavy losses, and then return with his troops, according to Emperor Yan's plan, even if Yecheng is lost at present, there is a chance to recapture Yecheng.
On the contrary, the main force of the Vietnamese army suffered heavy losses, and it was afraid that it would be difficult to hold on, at that time, he led his troops to counterattack, regain the lost territory, and did not capture Emperor Yan, and he would also become a hot general in Cai State.
In the dark forest, Mu Junyan personally led the troops and decided to deploy in the dark night, ready to attack the Vietnamese army!
On the periphery of the forest, Zhang Yuting and Li Hengan led the army, and as soon as they broke into the forest, they encountered the corpse of the official who died in the hands of the guards a few days ago, Zhang Yuting, Li Hengan couldn't help but have a bad chill!
Fortunately, someone was sent to examine it in detail and confirmed that the corpse had already decomposed, and it was definitely not the fierce battle that took place before, and the two of them relaxed their minds a little!
Zhang Yuting glanced at the dark jungle and ordered: "Inform the whole army, cheer up, be cautious, march overnight, and strive to capture Emperor Yan alive!" ”
In fact, he has not yet said half a sentence, he can't capture Emperor Yan alive, as long as he breaks through the forest, arrives in Mocheng, and takes the opportunity to attack the city, it will also be a great achievement.
In his opinion, Lin Feng only led two thousand infantry cavalry, and once the pursuit was completed, no matter how powerful the infantry cavalry team was, it would not be able to escape from the encirclement of 50,000 infantry.
The Vietnamese army led by Mu Junyan, he didn't pay attention to it, when the two armies meet, the Vietnamese army will be annihilated!
The three parties have different thoughts, and in the dark jungle, a fierce battle is destined to occur!
The infantry cavalry squad, the whole army eats, rests, and the cavalry takes turns to guard, intending to continue at dawn, and at dawn, pass through the city of Mocheng and quickly go north!
In the carriage, Lin Feng stayed by the side of the seventh girl to rest, and the rapid march made him tired!
I don't know how long it was, there was a knock on the door outside the carriage, Lin Feng quickly opened his eyes, glanced at the seven girls who were sleeping on all sides, opened the door, and quickly stepped out of the carriage.
At this time, Cao Aman and Luo Da were both there, followed by many foot riders, all of them looked panicked, and their eyes looked eastward.
Cao Aman was nervous, grabbed the sledgehammer tightly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is a shouting and killing sound from the east of the forest, I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle between the Cai army and the Vietnamese army, listen to the sound, the distance is estimated by us, there are forty or fifty miles, and the last general suggests that we continue to rush overnight!" ”
Hearing the sound, Lin Feng motioned for everyone to be quiet and listened, and suddenly, everyone stopped talking, and soon, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing in their ears.
His face couldn't help but not have the slightest nervousness, on the contrary, he smiled lightly and said, "Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair, Mu Junyan is not bad, he knows how to take the opportunity to annihilate the Vietnamese army!" ”
With that, Lin Feng motioned for the whole army to continue to rest!
Fleeing today is not conducive to himself or Zhang Yuting, only Mu Junyan, who is in the center, has an absolute advantage.
As long as you deploy properly, capture yourself alive, or inflict heavy damage on the Vietnamese army, you will make great achievements and alleviate the urgent need of the Cai army!
Fifty or sixty miles away, in the forest, the darkness had already been driven away by the fire, and the Vietnamese army was burning with fire everywhere on all sides.
The breeze floated, and the fire became more intense, as if a dragon was coming from all directions, trying to devour 50,000 infantry.
At this moment, Zhang Yuting and Li Hengan led 50,000 infantry to pursue Lin Feng had all fallen into the sea of fire, blazing flames, and the Vietnamese army was very uncomfortable, the dead leaves were burning, billowing smoke came out, and the Vietnamese army coughed violently.
However, the threat brought by the flames has not yet reached the fatal level, and the rain of arrows from all sides has made the Vietnamese army miserable, and their lives are seriously threatened, and they will be killed by the rain of arrows at any time.
