"Borrowed" Zhen's Fort to rest for two hours, recuperating, Yan Rou thought about the next move. It is certain to return to the army, but how to go back, you have to think about it, don't look at the rampant now, once Yuan Jun exerts his strength, the situation is not good.

Sent people to keep an eye on the county seat in the south, Zhen Yao asked for help, there were few soldiers in the county, where did he dare to send an army. On the contrary, news came from the north, and Cui Juye led thousands of troops through Xinshi and pounced south.

Previously, Cui Juye got the news that Xia Jun was active in Xinshi, and decisively led the army eastward to Xinshi, so he naturally pounced, followed the trail of Xia Jun, and decisively went south. Under Cui Juye's unremitting urging, Yuan Jun was full of anger and came with great momentum.

After listening to the scout's report, Yan Rou frowned and sighed, "It's coming so fast!" This Cui Juye's reaction is getting faster and faster! ”

"How many people are there in Yuan Jun!" Ichiyan asked.

"General Hui, at least three thousand!"

"Yang Feng, Zhang Sheng! Immediately regroup, we retreat to the west! ”

The movements of the Xia soldiers were very fast, and to the west of Zhen's Dock Fort, near the water, the remaining soldiers lined up in a marching queue. It's just that all of them are bulging, the Zhen family is rich, and the soldiers have looted a lot of property in it.

Seeing this, Yan Rou's mind sank slightly, and ordered: "Give Ben to throw away the looted belongings and travel lightly!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers looked left and right, their eyes blank. Yan Rou frowned, and shouted in a cold voice: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Dare to disobey the general's orders? ”

"General, the soldiers have been fighting hard for so long, Fang has made a fortune in the Zhen family, isn't it ......" Zhang Sheng said in a low voice beside him.

Yan Rou was a little angry: "Is money important, or life important!" Carrying this big bag and small bag, how to march! Don't hurry up yet! ”

Under Yan Rou's strict order, the soldiers threw their belongings on the ground with reluctance. Some soldiers hid some small things on their bodies, but when Yan Rou saw it, she didn't keep silent, and acquiesced to this.

After regrouping the team again, Yan Rou gave an order, crossed the river to the west, and then dived into the territory of Changshan.

"Fu Jun, the Xia army has ransacked the Zhen clan and has already waded west!" Outside Zhen's Fort, when Cui Juye led the troops, he heard such a sentence.

"Ahh Cui Juye let out a long roar, his heart was depressed and he wanted to vomit blood, and immediately ordered: "Non-stop, let me cross the river to the west and chase me, I must not let it run away, summon the remaining garrisons in Changshan, and give me all my strength to intercept its army!" ”

"Fu Jun, the soldiers are really tired all the way, do you want to rest for a while and then pursue!" The subordinate suggested.

"Rest? Where is there time for us to rest, and finally catch Yan Rou's traces, once lost, I don't know how much energy it will take, before we can find another opportunity to break the thief! Cui Juye scolded coldly: "Pass my order, cross the river immediately, and don't slack off." ”

Cui Juye's dialect fell, and there was a commotion in the front army, and it was a group of Changshan soldiers who were robbing the property discarded by the Xia army. was even more angry, and ordered that it could not be stopped, and finally sent the soldiers of the county government under his command to suppress it, and it took a long time to stabilize. The soldiers of Changshan County, under the strong pressure of Cui Juye, were driven to cross the river and pursue Yan Rou like cattle.

You chase me, this time, Cui Juye is determined to annihilate Yan Rou, the Xia army that has made him lose face. At the expense of the physical strength of the soldiers, he just kept driving the soldiers forward, and the Yuan army, who was running back and forth, was miserable.

Yan Rou's side was just as relaxed, originally thinking that he could throw Yuan Jun a long distance and deal with it calmly. Unexpectedly, Cui Juye was in hot pursuit like a "mad dog", exposed to the enemy's field of vision, the pursuers behind him were approaching, and the road ahead was sometimes blocked by Yuan Jun.

Although there were not many troops, it caused great trouble to Yan Rou. After running around several times, he broke several times, and slowly approached in the direction of Jingcheng, but the strength of Cui Jucheng behind him was almost to the tail of Xia Jun.

From Wuji, it was not a long distance to cross Changshan to Jingcheng, but under the encirclement and interception of Yuan's army, Yan Rou took three days.

"General, Jing Cheng is in sight! There should be no encirclement ahead! After Mianman Xiaoyi, Yang Feng's voice was dry, and he said to Yan Ju.

In this cold winter, the weather became colder and colder, and Yan Rou's hands were a little purple from the cold. He shook his head twice and shook off the fog beads that shrouded his body.

The soldiers of Xia who followed Yan Rou to this place are now only in their early thousands, all of them have tired faces, and many of them are injured. Originally, the soldiers were neat, but now they are embarrassed, their clothes and armor are tattered, like a "rabble". But seeing that Jing Cheng was in front of him, he was always a little angry.

"Rest here for two quarters of an hour!" Yan Rou commanded softly.

Sergeant Xia leaned on the periphery to rest scattered, and Yan Rou looked around and saw a soldier leaning against a mountain wall with his teeth bared, and his leg seemed to be injured.

"How's it going, can you still go?" Yan Rou stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Suddenly seeing Yan Rou, the soldier was startled, and immediately got up and said, "General, the villain is fine, the minor injury is fine!" As he spoke, he stumbled a few times in front of Yan Rou.

Seeing his trembling left leg and looking at him with hopeful eyes, Yan Rou patted his shoulder and sighed: "Have a good rest!" ”

"No!" When Yan Rou left, the pawn could no longer support it, slumped to the ground, lifted his trouser leg, and uncovered the injured leg wrapped in white cloth, and the knife wound already showed signs of suppuration.

But he had to endure it, even if Jing Cheng was in sight, he didn't dare to show that he couldn't march. Those who were seriously injured and could not march before were all abandoned, so as not to drag down the army.

If it is lost to Yuan Jun, then the end, you don't have to think about it to know what it will be. The pawns are all fighting for their lives, but the reality is so cruel.

Zhen's mother and daughter, at this time, did not have such a pretty appearance, they were coerced by the Xia army to go west, and they suffered a lot along the way. Knowing that he couldn't march, Yan Rou found a cart for him to ride, even so, after a few days, it was enough to toss.

"Woe to the water!" Seeing the mother and daughter, Yan Rou sighed in her heart, these women are really dragged down by the army.

However, they have all been brought here, as a gift to the King of Summer, hoping that his daily harvest will be worthy of today's efforts.

Yan Rou sat on the ground and seized the time to rest. This time out of the east, the order of King Xia has been completed, with the strength of his two thousand troops, Changshan has stirred up a chicken and dog, and Yuan soldiers are tired. It's just that compared to the previous eastward sweep, there is always something to gain, but this time, it seems a little meaningless.

"General! Yuan's pursuit is near! Zhang Sheng walked quickly to report, and he went all the way to the back of the palace, and finally caught up.

This Cui Juye is afraid that it is "Shi Lezhi", if Yan Rou knew this "famous sentence", he would definitely scold angrily.

"It's really unforgiving!" Yan Rou said coldly.

"General, Yuan Jun is in a hurry to chase after you! I'm afraid that he is as tired as us, and the front is dangerous, should we ambush him? Yang Feng asked.

Hearing this, Yan Rou seemed to be intent on moving, and then shook her head: "No, we have few people after all, and our combat strength has been lost." There is also Han Meng's army in the north, if he also comes to attack and rashly ambushes, he is afraid of putting himself in it. Now, the most important thing is to be able to retreat to Jingcheng safely. ”

"After resting, set off immediately, and return to Jingcheng!" Yan Rou stood up and ordered, "Zhang Sheng, you send someone to inform Huang Long and make him ready to receive us!" ”

Yan Rou thought well, and Han Meng, who took the initiative to attack Jingcheng, touched a full bag under the guard of Huanglong, and was summoned by Cui Juye, this time he didn't dare to have other ideas, and led two thousand troops to the south, ready to cooperate in exterminating Yan Rou's remnants.

Racing against time, under the response of Huang Long, Yan Rou, who had lost more than half of his life, finally returned to Jingcheng.

Cui Juye, running back and forth, exhausting his efforts, the thief is in front of him. As a result, he watched Yan Rou lead his army to retreat into Jingcheng Pass. Outside the Jingcheng Pass, the shame and anger were abnormal, and the soldiers around him were also depressed, their eyes were dark, they felt a little dizzy, and their hearts were full of anger, but there was a sense of grievance that had nowhere to vent.

vomited blood, this time Cui Juye really vomited blood, and went straight to the horse.

"Fujun, the Xia army has withdrawn to Guannei, there is nothing to do, let's retreat!" Engaged in supporting Cui Juye.

"Withdraw!" After all kinds of emotions on his face changed, Cui Juye gritted his teeth and said.
