Chapter 411: Chasing the Game

Sima Daozi's realization was very indifferent, it seemed that walking to Stone City was nothing more than Erer for him, and Wang Gong obviously didn't want to suffer this crime, but even the emperor didn't say anything, so he was even more silent!

Something that originally seemed quite tricky, after the guard level organized the language a little, it became a matter of course, except for the assault battalion soldiers who were protecting on the periphery, there were very few people, and there were only about twenty eunuchs and palace maids who took care of Sima Yao and the two maids who were necessary for their daily life!

Sima Yao's resilience is much better than Wei Jie's imagination, and the marching speed of the group is indeed very slow, but it is not Sima Yao who slows down everyone's process, but Wang Gong, the lord of the country!

Speaking of which, although Wang Gong is not as good as Xie Xuanhuan Xuan, and other generals, but it can be regarded as half a life of a horse, with his original physical fitness, marching on foot for decades is just an idle thing, but now Wang Gong is nearly half a hundred years old, and in recent years, he has been repeatedly hit, and his body and spirit have been injured at the same time, so he is no longer the courage of the year, and he is already out of breath after walking down for ten miles, and he has to ask for instructions and need to rest!

Wei Jie's sudden feeling that he couldn't see through Sima Yao, if he continued his performance in the morning, Sima Yao at this moment was afraid that not only would he not agree to Wang Gong's request, but he was afraid that he would be furious, and if he didn't get it, he would order Wang Gong to be abandoned in this barren mountain and wilderness, don't forget, Sima Yao didn't plan to take Wang Gong with him!

However, to Wei Jie's surprise, Sima Yao actually agreed, and he agreed very simply, and for this, Wei Ji can only be explained by the sweat stains on Sima Yao's forehead and his slightly heavy breathing!

Zhang Xiong is not with Wei Jie, one is that he doesn't like to deal with these officials, he doesn't want to see their faces, and he is also responsible for the periphery of the guard, although this is a little-known road, but after a long time, it is inevitable that the Jingzhou army cavalry will find some clues, and no one can guarantee that the Jingzhou army is not particularly familiar with the terrain and roads around Jiankang!

Occasionally, Zhang Xiong on the road will come to bring the news of Zhang Jaw's side, the first hour or two is fine, Zhang Jaw can also hide the whereabouts of his people well, and then the Jingzhou cavalry scattered the search, expanding the search range, two thousand people are not a small number after all, and they were soon discovered by the other party, and the situation quickly evolved into a one-sided chase game, fortunately, Zhang Jaw is a native of Jiankang, and he is very familiar with the terrain around Jiankang, and he went around and around and spent several hours with the cavalry of the Jingzhou Army before he began to really retreat!

According to the instructions of the guards, Zhang Jaw originally retreated directly to the direction of Stone Town after dragging the other party for a period of time, but now the plan has changed, and the Wei Rank needs more time, and the direction of their retreat has become a pass in the place where the Wei Rank must pass, and Zhang Jaw's task is to fight for the last time for the Wei Rank here!

Four hours, two breaks in the middle, and the guard rank they can walk most of the distance, not far ahead, is the pass agreed with Zhang Jaw, calculate the time, if it goes well, Zhang Jaw should have been here waiting for the next step of the guard step!

However, things didn't seem to go as smoothly as Wei Jie thought, Zhang Jaw and his subordinate forbidden army did not wait here, and there was no trace of a battle here, that is, they had not yet arrived here, and it was very likely that they were in trouble on the way here!

While arranging for Sima Yao and the others to find a place to rest, Wei Jie instructed Zhang Xiong to take some of the soldiers of the assault battalion to meet them in the direction where Zhang Jaw was most likely to come, and the soldiers of the assault battalion who stayed behind were not idle, and in addition to being responsible for guarding, they also had to build some fortifications as much as possible for this pass.

And the assault battalion brothers who stayed behind were mainly disciples of the Mo family, although the time was short and the number was not large, but after half an hour, it still built a decent-looking fortification, and with the terrain here, Zhang Jaw should be able to hold out here for a few more hours!

As soon as the fortifications were completed, a large group of people rushed over to this side, led by Zhang Xiong and Zhang Jaw, who seemed to be injured a lot when they got closer.

"How's the injury?"

In any case, everyone is in the same camp at the moment, and this concern of the Wei Rank is also from the heart!

"Out of the way, General!" Zhang Jaw gritted his teeth and said.

"General, why do you want to open your jaw to change the retreat route, isn't this tantamount to exposing the emperor and the general to the Jingzhou army?"

"Let's talk about this later, can you still hold on to open your jaw? What about the loss of soldiers? Wei Jie, shaking his head, said.

"The combat effectiveness has been reduced by nearly five hundred, and there should be a thousand-and-five who can still participate in the battle at present, Zhang Jaw is confident that he will lead his brothers to resist the Jingzhou army here for two hours!" Zhang Jaw nodded and said affirmatively.

"Two hours is not enough!" Wei Jie, shaking his head, said.

"I need you to hold on here for three hours, as for the specific arrangements for the battle, you make your own decision, the only requirement of the guard rank is time, open your jaw, you must block the Jingzhou army here for three hours, and the retreat time cannot be advanced by a quarter of an hour, can you do it?"

After Zhang Jaw was slightly stunned, he glanced at Wei Jie, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Zhang Jaw guarantees to complete the general's military order, stick to it for three hours, and there will be no less time to breathe!" ”

"Let me stay!"

Just when Wei Jie's head nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction with Zhang Zhang's attitude, Zhang Xiong's deep voice came!

"Let Zhang Xiong stay, even if the number of thousands and five people and his own life are here, he won't be able to keep his jaw open for three hours!" Zhang Xiong continued.

Wei Jie looked at Zhang Xiong in amazement, he rarely spoke so sparingly, it seemed that Zhang Xiong must have known some information that he didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't be so sure that he couldn't hold on to it for three hours, you know, this place is already dangerous, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen this place to block the enemy, plus the Mo family disciples have already built fortifications!

"Zhang Xiong, why are you so sure?" Wei Jie asked with a frown.

"Because the commander of the cavalry of the Jingzhou Army this time is Huan Wei!" Zhang Xiong glanced at Wei Jie, and then at Zhang Jaw, and then said in a low voice.

"Huan Wei?" It's the first time Wei Jie's name has heard of this, and from the name, it should have a certain relationship with Huan Xuan!

"Huan Wei is Huan Xuan's cousin, but he is more than 20 years older than Huan Xuan, when Huan Wen went on the Northern Expedition, Huan Wei had already followed him to fight in the south and the north, and made countless achievements, this person is the same as Fu Rong of Di Qin, although he is not well-known, but he is a commander with real skills, especially good at cavalry combat!"
