Chapter 232: Pursuit

In the next two days, the Jin army almost desperately attacked Xue Rengui's camp, wanting to contain Xue Rengui and prevent them from dividing their troops to reinforce Luo Cheng.

However, Xue Rengui didn't seem to be aware of the Jin army's intentions, desperately resisting the Jin army's onslaught, defending the camp without retreating.

Seeing that Xue Rengui did not withdraw his troops, Tian Feng continued to order a storming of the Tang army camp.

Xue Rengui, dressed in white, had already been dyed blood red, standing in the big tent with a halberd in his hand, and asked, "Captain Guo, aren't you ready yet?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "It's almost arranged, keep it until dark, let's evacuate immediately, but when retreating, let the Jin army 'accidentally' find out." ”

In two days, Guo Jia transferred 10,000 people in the camp and quietly left the camp at night, not knowing where to go, and even Xue Rengui didn't know where these people went.

After nightfall, in the big tent, Guo Jia glanced at Xue Rengui and nodded slightly, and then Xue Rengui ordered: "The whole army pulls out the camp and retreats in the direction of Guangyang City!" ”

Guangyang City is located between Liangxiang City and Jixian County, and it can be regarded as an important town, but with the current distribution of troops between the two sides, it is the closest town to Zhuo County.

According to the instructions of Xue Rengui's people in advance, straw men were planted all over the camp to confuse the Jin army, but a soldier accidentally lit the scarecrow next to him with a torch in his hand, although it was quickly extinguished, but it also attracted the attention of the Jin army.

Taking advantage of the busy Tang army, this meticulous work quietly touched the Tang army's camp, probably due to the panic of the Tang army's withdrawal, this person easily touched the camp.

Through the gap in the fence, through the dim light of the camp, I saw that the camp was empty, the ground was full of straw, and there were a large number of scarecrows tied to the tent.

Taken aback, he hurriedly withdrew from the Tang Army camp and hurried to the city of Liangxiang.

"What you said is true?"

In the county mansion of Liangxiang City, since Tian Feng came to the city, the government has been given up by Zhang He and lived by Tian Feng, and at this moment the fine work is kneeling in front of Tian Feng.

"This matter is what I have seen with my own eyes, and the Tang army is now withdrawing to the north, looking at the target, like going to Guangyang." In the face of Tian Feng's questioning, Xizuo did not panic, and told what he saw little by little.

"I know, you go down first." Tian Feng waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat.

"Captain Tian, should we immediately send troops to pursue?" Yan Liang on the side was eager to try, and it seemed that as long as Tian Feng agreed, he would immediately send troops.

As for Zhang He, he looked at Tian Feng, wanting to say something and stopping, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Tian Feng glanced at the different reactions of the two, and sighed in his heart, Yan Liangyong is brave, but he is a little too brave, lacking a bit of caution and wit, in other words, he is a reckless man.

Zhang He is a good general, brave and strategic, and he is a rare handsome talent, but he has not been reused by Yuan Shao.

"How do you think you should deal with it?" Tian Feng didn't answer, but asked Zhang Hedao instead.

Zhang He thought for a while and said: "We must pursue, otherwise they will arrive in Jixian County, and only 50,000 soldiers and horses will be enough to establish a defensive line that is difficult for us to cross." ”

Tian Feng nodded and said, "Yes, we must pursue, at least hang behind them, we can't let them go all out to rescue Luo Cheng in Youbeiping." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's order troops to fight immediately." Yan Liang said impatiently.

"General Yan, don't be impatient." Tian Feng waved his hand and said: "In order to prevent the Tang army from setting up an ambush and pursuing each other, the whole army is divided into two divisions, General Yan leads 20,000 horses as the front, and General Zhang He leads 30,000 horses to follow, but pay attention to the distance between the two of you must be kept within three miles." ”

"No!" Yan Liang and the others took the order.

When Yan Liang and the others went out of the city, they immediately sent scouts to the northeast, and after the scouts reported that Xue Rengui and the others had not gone far yet, they were seven or eight miles in front of them.

"Catch up with them." After hearing this, Yan Liang immediately ordered the whole army to pursue quickly.

Yan Liang's army was mostly cavalry, and his speed was very fast, and he had already chased three or four miles in the blink of an eye.

"Leave 10,000 men with me to intercept the enemy army, and the others quickly evacuate."

Yan Liang heard Xue Rengui's shouting from a distance, and he also knew that there was a valley ahead, as long as there were five thousand Tang troops guarding the valley mouth, even if they had more soldiers and horses, they would not be able to break through the valley mouth, so he was even more anxious.

Between Liangxiang City and Guangyang City, there is a valley, which is located more than ten miles northeast of Liangxiang City, with a depth of nearly one mile, which is a suitable place for ambush.

When they were less than a stone's throw from the valley, Xue Rengui and the others were lining up, waiting for Yan Liang's arrival.

"Charge!"

Seeing Xue Rengui lined up and galloped, Yan Liang shouted directly, raised the big knife in his hand, took the lead, and rushed towards the formation of the Tang army.

"The front army resisted the horse formation and met the enemy."

In the darkness, countless silver lights flickered, like a little cold star, and the cold murderous aura permeated among the soldiers.

In a few breaths, the soldiers of the two sides had already met, and for a while, people turned on their backs, and the tragic aura wafted on this not vast battlefield.

"Block!"

It was not easy for the foot soldiers to resist the cavalry, not to mention that Xue Rengui and the others were a little hasty to meet the enemy, so their defense line was already raging by Yan Liang and others in less than half an hour, even if Xue Rengui kept boosting this morale, it still didn't have much effect.

At present, the Tang Army is on the defensive on all fronts, and the defense line is already crumbling.

In half an hour, the 5,000 people of the Tang army had already resisted the onslaught of Yan Liang and others for half an hour, and they did not let the Jin army take a step beyond Lei Chi.

"Block!" Xue Rengui still kept boosting his morale, wanting to block the onslaught of the Jin army.

It's a pity that although the Tang army was elite, it was always inferior to the Jin army, and was finally broken through by the Jin army.

"Kill!" Yan Liang was extremely excited, this was the first time he had pressed Tang Jun so tightly, and he had forced Tang Jun to such a field.

Half an hour passed, and the Tang army finally couldn't resist, but the large force of the Tang army seemed to have passed through the valley, and Xue Rengui shouted: "Withdraw!" ”

In the end, thousands of people, under the command of Xue Rengui, slowly retreated into the valley, but the pace of their retreat was not messy.

"Chase!"

Yan Liang let out a loud shout, followed closely, and covered up the killing, not wanting to let Xue Rengui go.

But it was destined that Yan Liang's move would be futile.

Xue Rengui's troops slowly retreated to the valley mouth, and the formation was not messy, and there was Xue Rengui's command, so Yan Liang's impact did not have the desired effect.

The Tang army also gritted its teeth and persisted in Yan Liang's several charges, although it was crumbling, but the defense line was unbreakable.
