On the path leading from Xiayi to Suiyang, Hua Rong sat in the carriage with a dejected face, his heart full of despair.

He couldn't have imagined that an army twice as large as Taoqiu would lose a head-to-head battle! This is a head-to-head battle, there is no opportunistic battle, and it is lost like this, what does this mean? This means that Taoqiu's strength has already surpassed Suiyang!

Since ancient times, the best way to gauge the strength of two forces is to fight a war. The winner is naturally strong; The loser is naturally weak. In the Spring and Autumn Period, interests were divided according to the results of wars. And in today's era, if you lose the war, you lose everything!

Now that Hua Rong has lost the war, he finally knows that Suiyang's strength is weaker than Taoqiu! And after the defeat of the army, the military strength of the entire Suiyang has declined sharply, and the heart is full of fear!

Although his ancestors were from the Song State, he is now in charge of the Song State as a native of the Chu State, and the military defeat has a great impact on his political prestige! If he doesn't get it right, he might even be assassinated! This is not uncommon in the history of the Song Kingdom!

With this in mind, he immediately stopped fleeing and began to gather forces along the road that originally belonged to Fahrenheit. He directly adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye to the power of the Le clan and the Huang clan, and in a short period of time, he actually gathered thousands of deserters and reorganized them!

On the other side, Le Cheng, who was also on the way to escape, was also doing the same thing as Hua Rong. Le Cheng doesn't want him to retain how strong Hua's strength is, he just wants to continue to have the power to protect himself and protect him back to Le's fiefdom!

On such an escape road, except for absolute leaders like Hua Rong and Le Cheng, who can also summon a rout through their previous prestige, all the remaining generals are almost unable to gather a large-scale army anymore, and the entire Suiyang army is in a situation of complete collapse!

Behind these fleeing routs were the Taoqiu army in pursuit. Most of the time, the number of Taoqiu's army is only a few hundred, and it can make thousands of Suiyang troops powerless!

This kind of pursuit is a very common thing in the military. Although the war in the era of cold weapons also tests people's bravery, it is ultimately a confrontation between organized groups. A collapsed army is like a broken organization, and naturally it can no longer fight against an organized army of scale!

Of course, in such a pursuit, there were also some teams that inevitably committed the mistake of overconfidence, and their pursuit was a bit excessive.

Behind a group of pursued routs, followed by hundreds of slender soldiers, these soldiers were different from the ordinary Taoqiu army, all wearing wolf tooth masks on their faces, and they looked so hideous!

The people led by this group of soldiers are holding a slender pear flower gun in their hands, and every time this rod touches the deserters, one of them will inevitably fall! As this killing continued, a shrill voice sounded: "Those who descend will not be killed!" ”

The pursued rout was also a little desperate in the face of such a killing god, and just when some of these people were thinking about whether to simply surrender on the spot, one of the mighty men stood up, turned around and yelled at the people who were chasing behind him: "Do you give people a way to live?" I'm also a descendant of the Huang family, how can I be a pariah like you? ”

Then, the strong man didn't know where to draw a sword, raised it high, and said to the defeated soldiers behind him: "Brothers, the Taoqiu people are too pressing, surrender, and we are also kneeling and stealing our lives!" Those who are willing to follow me, be dignified, and fight a bloody way, take up arms to resist! ”

The words of this strong man immediately stopped many of the fleeing routs, and many of them quietly held their weapons in their hands while kicking them, intending to confront the pursuing Taoqiu army!

"Hmph, it's not enough!" The shrill voice followed. Then, the strong man who dared to resist first saw the pear flower spear stabbed straight over!

The corners of his mouth twitched, and the strong man reflexively dodged the stabbing shot, and directly used the sword in his hand to push the pear flower gun away. However, this pear flower gun was only slightly pulled away, and the person with the gun took advantage of the momentum to pull the pear flower gun out, and then swept it away at the strong man with an unparalleled might!

The strong man immediately put the sword in his hand in front of him to resist the attack of the pear flower spear, and retreated several steps in succession before he barely blocked the opponent's "sweeping thousands of troops". Just when he was unsteady on his feet, the pear flower spear pierced directly with a resolute momentum!

"Poof!" The strong man only felt that his chest was pierced by the opponent's gun, and then the gun was quickly pulled out of his chest, and he could only see a big hole in his chest, spurting blood out of his chest, no matter what!

With unwilling resentment, this strong man who dared to resist fell!

And the leader of the Suiyang Army who killed the strong man, the wolf tooth mask on his face at this time was stained with the blood of the strong man, making him look like a demon king! Then, the shrill and cold voice came out again: "Surrender immediately, those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

This time, none of these routs dared to continue to resist! They threw away their weapons one after another, raised their hands high, and silently stepped aside under the guidance of the Taoqiu soldiers.

When the group of routs sat on the ground and honestly became prisoners, the leader of the Taoqiu army took off the mask on his face, revealing a beautiful face!

The captives were immediately stunned at the sight of such a face. They all muttered, such a girly "little white face" actually came to join the army, it is really intolerable!

However, when the remaining Taoqiu soldiers also took off their masks with the leader's movements, all the captives saw were "little white faces" with delicate faces!

And as soon as these soldiers spoke, all the captives instantly understood, where these soldiers were "little white faces", this was a group of women at all! Have we been captured by a group of women? What a shame!

If Dai Yan was here, he would definitely be able to find out that the one who led a group of female soldiers to capture twice as many prisoners as his own prisoners, he actually knew, it was the princess of the Zhou family, Ji Hu, who had been running for women's education in Taoqiu!

"Brigade commander, what are we going to do with these captives?" A female soldier asked Ji Hu.

Hearing that his subordinates finally didn't call her a senior sister, nor did they call her a princess, but called her "Brigade Marshal", although Ji Hu's face did not change, he was secretly happy in his heart: these guys finally know what their identity is!

She directly instructed her subordinates: "Send one hundred and fifty men to watch over them here, and hand them over to the troops who will follow, and we will continue to advance!" This time, we must achieve enough feats to let Cao Gong know our strength! ”

Then she raised the pear flower gun in her hand again, played a beautiful gun flower to scare the captives, and asked them, "Do you know the whereabouts of Hua Rong and Le Cheng?" ”

At this time, on the original battlefield, Dai Yan was extremely distressed in the face of the battlefield after the war! Because he found that now there was no one to clean the battlefield, except for the people who guarded him, even the people in charge of logistics were stimulated by the high reward and went to pursue the router!

As a last resort, he had no choice but to send someone to inform the sailors, so that these sailors and the merchants who were responsible for transporting grain on board would disembark and go to the battlefield to clean up the entire battlefield. After he gave this order, he immediately led his men and horses around Xia Yi and directly pursued the routed army!

It wasn't that he wanted to take the credit that should have been done by the soldiers, but he knew that the whole army was now moving forward in pursuit. As the commander of Taoqiu, he should follow forward as the center of Taoqiu's army! Otherwise, an army that has been out of the center for a long time may collapse because of excessive pursuit!

As he went all the way and saw the many captives, he was overjoyed! Now that this is a frontal battle, the main force of the Suiyang Army should have been almost explained, right? Next, it is to point the sword at Suiyang and unify the Song Kingdom!

Under the influence of this emotion, the further he went, the happier he became, but when he saw more than a hundred female soldiers also carrying a group of prisoners back, he asked in great surprise: "Who are you?" How did you go to the battlefield? ”

One of these female soldiers immediately walked out and came to Dai Yan, saw Dai Yan's dress and the commander's flag behind him, and immediately knew Dai Yan's identity! Immediately, he said happily: "Qiqi Cao Gong, we are also Taoqiu's army!" Now under the command of the brigade commander, 1,026 prisoners have been captured, please dispose of Cao Gong! ”

"Brigade commander, who is your brigade commander?" Dai Yan asked curiously.

"Ah, Cao Gong, why did you forget? Our brigade commander is Princess Jihu, you personally appointed it... ”

As soon as the female soldiers said this, Dai Yan finally remembered that when he was annoyed by these women's soldiers, he did approve a small-scale team of female soldiers, but hasn't this group of female soldiers always been used as medical soldiers and literary soldiers, how did they go to the battlefield?

It seems that he was careless, and the order issued was too operable, which made Ji Hu take advantage of the loophole! Then Dai Yan asked the female soldier: "Where is your brigade commander, I want to see her in person!" ”

The female soldier replied: "Our brigade commander has received news from Le Cheng and has already taken the rest of the sisters to pursue him. ”

Grass, this stupid girl! Dai Yan has 10,000 *** in his heart! Although Taoqiu has won a big victory and Suiyang has been defeated, is a leader of a clan like Le Cheng something that a little girl like her can deal with?

There was no time to continue to deal with these remaining prisoners, and he knew the direction of Ji Hu's pursuit from the female soldiers, so he immediately pursued with his guards!
