The lively celebration did not last long, until the soldiers had eaten and drunk enough.

Ma Zhong, who was originally laughing happily with the soldiers, suddenly gave the order to withdraw his troops.

Several military candidates were surprised and almost thought that they had heard it wrong, and Li Fei hurriedly asked, "My lord?" How can it be so rushed, but there is something. ”

As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Gong Qiu Hu, who was in charge of intelligence.

The public enemy tiger is also inexplicably wonderful.

Ma Zhong looked at some of the soldiers who had not yet recovered and said, "This is a place of right and wrong, I'm afraid Zhang Liao will kill him at any time to take revenge." During the day, I had carefully observed that the scouts of the soldiers were using different numbers of wolf smoke to convey information. It's best to leave at night, so that the enemy's reaction time can be minimized. ”

"Zhang Liao...... it's time to come."

Ma Zhong's words made the hearts of all the soldiers sink, and the joy of winning the battle disappeared without a trace.

Yes, relying on a method that cannot be copied, it was not easy to defeat a lieutenant battalion opposite, but Zhang Liao still has two lieutenant battalions.

And it is the captain's battalion personally commanded by Zhang Liao!

Cen Wolf frowned, and whispered to Leshui, "The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are really difficult to fight, let's fight a group of dismounted cavalry who have no water to drink, and it is all because of the old strength that they trapped a lieutenant battalion." If the lord doesn't come over in time, when we all run out of oil and the lamp is dry, they will let the horses go, and it will be two to say who will die and who will live. ”

The Shanzi battalion of Bailichuan also took over the fight for a while, and he also had a deep understanding of the difficulty of the Bingzhou soldiers, "If this is an ordinary Jiangdong Army, just the four or five battalions of our front battalion can be mixed, and we can fight several lieutenant battalions, and the gap between the two sides is still not small." ”

Li Fei reminded, "What kind of general that Zhang Liao is, everyone knows in their hearts." This soldier and horse is in his hands, and I am afraid that it can no longer be counted according to the usual proportions. ”

Le Shui was also worried when he heard this, and he said to everyone, "Don't forget, before the forward of the state soldiers was surrounded, we were pressed and beaten, and the losses were very heavy. If there is another one who is similar to him, we will suffer, not to mention that it may be Zhang Liao who has more soldiers and horses. ”

At this time, everyone stopped talking, and with a simple conversation on their own, they realized that Ma Zhong's words were not false words and intimidation.

If it weren't for Ma Tan's impromptu response, coupled with the brain-dead commander of the state soldiers, how could he have a chance to fight such a beautiful battle.

However, this kind of battle is difficult to replicate after all, not to mention that the scouts of the wolf riders in Bingzhou will tell Zhang Liao what happened before, just by virtue of his prestige, he will not be fooled so easily.

Ma Zhong looked left and right, and saw that everyone was silent, "Okay, since you have realized the seriousness of the problem, then I don't need to say more." Ding Feng. ”

Ma Zhong first called Ding Feng of the Nanban Battalion, and Ding Feng came out in response, "Big brother, the matter of the Nanban Battalion, you can just give orders." ”

"Okay, you can take some of these captured war horses back first, so as not to take care of them when the battle starts. As for the rest, leave a batch for us to transport the baggage. ”

Ding Feng waited for a while, and seeing that Ma Zhong didn't say anything else, he hurriedly got up and answered, "No." ”

Then, he asked, "Do you want to leave now?" ”

Ma Zhong replied, "Let's go now." ”

Ding Feng didn't talk nonsense, stood up, and said while patting the soil, "Okay, I'll also remind Peng A, take precautions." As for this war horse...... "

Ma Zhong thought for a while, "You can bring six hundred horses back, not counting the public enemy tiger, we still have about four hundred horses left, which is enough for us to maneuver." ”

Ding Feng listened to the order and left.

Ma Zhong looked at the rest of the people again, "Ding Feng will leave first, let's follow, but there is more baggage, and the speed may be slower than them." ”

Li Fei took the lead and said, "Since the lord has already made up his mind, let's go on the road as soon as possible, so as not to have any delays and go out on a business trip,"

Several military marquis nodded one after another, and then each confessed and left the table to gather his subordinates.

It didn't take long for the entire Liberation Battalion to know Ma Zhong's decision to withdraw his troops immediately.

Many people are puzzled, but there are still some who still have lingering fears about the wolf riders in the state.

It's just that they have always been used to obeying orders, and in the face of Ma Zhong's decision, no one dares to question anything.

The first to pack up and stop was Ding Feng's Nanban battalion, which did not bring any baggage, and it was very convenient to leave.

They drove out about 600 horses from the stables where they had gathered their horses. At this time, the moonlight was not clear, and Ding Feng himself did not have an accurate number.

The soldiers of each battalion avoided one after another, vacating the field and letting the Nanban battalion open first.

When the Nanban battalion drove the war horses away, the remaining soldiers began to panic a little.

Fortunately, they were also Ma Zhong's well-trained subordinates, and the night march was nothing.

After the Nanban battalion set off, it took another half an hour for the other battalion leaders to begin to withdraw their troops one after another.

The scout of the wolf rider in the state really noticed the inexplicable move of the annoying soldiers.

However, as Ma Zhong guessed, it was night at this time, and there was no smoke to be seen at night.

The terrain here is not flat, and there are a lot of jungles, even if you want to raise fire, it won't have any effect at all.

The scouts who had not been wolf-ridden began to get agitated.

Then there were soldiers in twos and threes, approaching

Ma Zhong didn't bother to pay attention to these fly-like things, and deliberately asked his subordinates to pass orders and ignore them.

However, I don't know if it was inspired by the battles of the previous days.

The scouts who had joined the wolf riders of the state brought a lot of dry firewood and piled it on the land where the advance of the relief army was about to retreat.

So the march, which was originally smooth sailing, became stumbling.

From time to time, there are also fires that spread everywhere.

As for Zhang Liao, who Ma Zhong was worried about, he was doing something that made Ma Zhong worry at the same time.

Zhang Liao, who was suffering the pain of losing his son, had a solemn face like cold iron.

Even though it was night, the wolves were still hurrying on the march.

Zhang Liao had great fear in his heart, he was very afraid, very afraid.

He was afraid that Ma Zhong, who had already received war exploits and huge supplies, would flee back to Jiangnan, so that he would not be able to launch a hearty revenge and torture Ma Zhong in front of his horse.

Zhang Liao's grief infected the soldiers who rode wolf in the state, and they all screamed one by one to avenge Zhang Liao.

This team had just suffered the tragic news of the total annihilation of the vanguard force, but their morale was not much different from that of the victorious relief soldiers.

Another sleepless night.

When the soldiers couldn't hold on and wanted to rest for a while, Zhang Liao looked into the distance and happened to see the slowly rising five-pillar pillar of smoke.
