As Chu Shipu, the deceased minister of the Patriotic Empire, said, Wang Sunjia, the commander of the Patriotic Right Army, was a wise and cautious man, and after making a slight contact with the advance of Zhao Bingtaoyi, he led his army back after losing hundreds of men, and never ventured closer again.

The opponent's armor, the opponent's flag, and the number of stoves in the battalion made him sure that he had bitten the main force of Zhao Bing, and they didn't want to lure him over to fight, but they didn't want to leave easily.

Therefore, the information sent by the Wei Hou to send a chariot to the Qi army became like this: Zhao Bing was entangled by the Wei army in the area of Taoyi and Qingqiu, and he hoped to come to the battle as soon as possible.

This move was in the arms of the Marquis of Qi who wanted to fight a quick battle before the snow fell, and he was overjoyed, so he gave up the siege of Qinyi and Zhen and Xiaqiu, regardless of the danger of crossing the enemy territory to feed food, the mighty army of 40,000 went all the way south, with the spear held high and the flag fluttering. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived here, he ran into Zhao Bing's vanguard and ate his fifty times vanguard.

"This place is a hundred miles away from Taoyi, and the guards just swore that Zhao Ying was in that area, but now the Zhao Clan's Yanri Xuanniao banner suddenly appeared here, what is going on!?"

Qi Hou jumped like thunder, and the sudden encounter with Zhao Bing made him a little uneasy, after all, Zhao Ying's good fighting and bravery were famous.

"The news of the guards arrived a few days ago, and perhaps not long after that, the Jin people heard the news of our entry into Xilu, so they returned here overnight despite the guards chasing after them, looking for a strong city to stop us? If this is the case, the other generation has miscalculated, they missed the Qiuqiu, and now they should follow closely, and do not let the other generation escape into Gaoyu, Yuncheng and other towns. We can only fight in the wild! ”

Just when Gao Zhang was at a loss, Chen Heng's analysis made Qi Hou turn his worries into joy. Immediately deployed the Qi army to form a pincer-shaped two-way road, and launched a pursuit towards the Zhao soldiers who had retreated with one blow.

Night. They caught up with the enemy's tail near Gaoyuyi, but it was Zhao Bing who attacked first.

Through the high walls and moonlit fields, you can see the place where the two armies exchanged fire. Zhao Bing probably thought that he could take advantage of the night to be unprepared or Qi people to relax, but the result was very wrong. Thousands of archers of the Qi Kingdom unleashed bursts of dense rockets, and the arrows sizzled over the fields, igniting the withered grass as they fell, and there was a different kind of beauty from a distance, but they did not hit many living targets.

"The Jin people's assault was ineffective, and the enemy army was full of corpses." Although Chen Heng said so when asking for credit. But when the results of the battle were counted on the second day, the Qi people only found a few corpses of Zhao soldiers. Last night's battle ended quickly, and the surviving enemy forces fled in the darkness of the night, and although there were few casualties, it was an exciting victory.

When the Qi people regained their strength and prepared to continue the pursuit of the enemy, the Qi Marquis triumphantly asked Yang Hu what he thought of the battle.

"The Jin people are at the end of their rope, and the king has blocked the roads in the west and the north, directly forcing the Zhao soldiers to Pushui. When they reach the edge of the river, they will be unable to fly with their wings! Yang Hu, the deceased minister of the Lu State who has lost a lot of weight and is no longer majestic, said.

Qi Hou was very happy, but what Yang Hu saluted really didn't think was like this: "This is not like a breakthrough attack at all. It's just that Zhao Qing flicked it lightly with his fingertips, as if to tease Qi Ren to continue to go deeper. ”

Yang Hu only met Zhao Ying last summer and was extremely impressed. I feel that with his character, if he really wants to fight. It will only tighten the fingers and become a fist as hard as bronze. Aim at the weak parts of the Qi army and bombard it fiercely, and force a way, instead of making such a sloppy retreat.

But in front of Qi Hou, he didn't dare to tell the truth, and what "the lord is wise and careful" is also his nonsense. Qi Hou will become stubborn as soon as he encounters victory, Yang Hu has lived the last time, so he will not be bored, he acts as a counselor in the Qi army on the one hand, while observing the situation and looking for an opportunity to get out!

On the third day, the clever Chen Heng was overjoyed to find that the campfires and stove fires left by Zhao Bing had been greatly reduced compared to the previous day.

"Zhao Bing's fire has been greatly reduced, more than 10,000 the day before yesterday, 10,000 yesterday, and only 8 or 9,000 today, probably because the morale of our hot pursuit was exhausted, and those people who were forcibly recruited in Xilu and Weidi began to flee!" Chen Heng said happily.

Qi Hou stroked his beard and smiled, as if he saw victory and the position of overlord beckoning to him: "However, once he is forced to turn back and fight with us, Zhao Meng will suffer a big loss this time!" I don't know if I can capture him alive. ”

The ministers congratulated one after another, but only Gao Zhang still had a sad face, worried about this and that.

"The king wants to chase after the army again, and I don't know if the grain and grass carts in the rear can catch up with the army, and the food in the army is only enough to last for three days......"

……

"Yesterday's rout was very much the style of your Wen County soldiers." Outside the ruins of Liyi, looking at his nephew Zhao Guangde, who pretended to rob the camp and then returned from defraud, Zhao Ying laughed loudly while brushing the mud spots off his armor.

Although the timid Zhao Guangde has changed from an incompetent nobleman who doesn't even dare to hold a wooden sword to a sturdy young man who can carry heavy troops and pedal to supervise the battle, is it the same as his father Zhao Luo, he is afraid that Zhao Ying is afraid to death, and he is more afraid than facing those spears, so he just didn't dare to say anything about Zhao Ying's jokes.

Zhao Ying felt a little bored, and at the same time a little unhappy, and his face suddenly became stiff: "It's just that Fu Sue and Wuxian's strategy is too cowardly, and he actually wants the old man to pretend to retreat all the way to lead the enemy deeper, Qi Hou must have looked down on me very much now!" ”

Zhao Guangde almost bit his tongue in fright, and hurriedly replied: "It's just temporary, I just hope that my cousin can complete the plan as soon as possible, and at that time, my uncle will be able to fight the Qi army with a headache!" ”

Zhao Ying's iron palm slapped his head again, shaking Zhao Guangde's head under his helmet.

"You are more talkative than your father, I wish so......"

It turned out that the people deployed in the Taoyi area were actually Cao Jun, who used the remaining flags and clothes to disguise themselves as Zhao soldiers after reaching an agreement with Zhao Ying and Zhao Wuxian.

After Zhao Bing and Qi people met, they pretended to be caught off guard and retreated in the southeast direction, looking like they wanted to enter Gaoyu and Xiaqiu to defend, but every time they seemed to be "just a little worse", which made Qi Hou itch and chase after him despite the danger. At the same time, the Zhao soldiers' good mobility and the supplies they could get from the closed gates of the various cities from time to time made them always move a little faster than the Qi people.

The Qi army followed, and the direction was getting farther and farther to the south, and it was already two hundred miles away from Dong'e and Pingyin, the base camps of the Tun grain storage camp, and it was about this distance from the capital of Weiguo, which was full of corn. It took four days for the foot soldiers to walk briskly, and six days for a cart full of grain to arrive!

And because they wanted to chase after the Zhao soldiers, the grain and grass carried by the Qi army with the army, and even those spare winter clothes fell thirty or forty miles away from the rear, and they were escorted slowly by the strength of a division.

And Zhao Wuxian, who had not shown up from beginning to end, gathered the eight hundred light cavalry of the whole army together and waited quietly in a forest west of Liqiu, ready to go......

The flat valley to the east of them, where the camp fire was lit, was where the Qi army's baggage was! (To be continued......)
