In the night, the Han army quietly retreated, and the soldiers could not hide their excitement. This is really a twist and turn, originally to find death, but now it has suddenly become a desire for survival. And the generals looked at Wei Changfeng with admiration.

That's right, he is a chief, a little chief, but how many times has this little chief saved the troops in the past two days? Even Sun Li no longer looked at Wei Changfeng with hatred—though he wasn't as obvious as the other generals had shown.

The sound of horses' hooves, Zhao Zi'an rode a horse and led a horse to Wei Changfeng's side: "Wei Shichang, this horse is yours, get on the horse." ”

Wei Changfeng was stunned. No matter how special he is, he is still a chief, where does the chief have a horse to ride? It takes a centurion or above to have a horse to ride, and now General Zhao is openly doing this in front of the whole army, which is really a bit ......

Zhao Zi'an guessed Wei Changfeng's thoughts, he smiled and said in a low voice: "You and ask the others, see if they are satisfied with Ben Shuai's decision?" ”

Wei Changfeng looked around, only to see that the soldiers under the four sides gave up their hands to him, since there was a military order not to make loud noises, the soldiers naturally did not dare to speak in a low voice like General Zhao, but their gestures were very clear, it was admiration and support for Wei Changfeng.

"Get on the horse," Zhao Zi'an whispered again, "If you are tired, Ben Shuai will definitely punish you, and if you are tired, you will violate the order!" ”

Wei Changfeng had no choice but to bow his hand and turn over on his horse. He understands in his heart that Zhao Zi'an is not only admiring himself, but also for the whole army to see, he Zhao Zi'an knows people well, and is by no means a person who only lets his subordinates contribute, and does not give his subordinates the size of the work, although this mind is somewhat suspected of being a show, but a general Chang must have a way to subdue the hearts of his subordinates, otherwise how to let his subordinates work for themselves? Of course, in any case, General Zhao was still happy to do this, and he was not angry that General Zhao gave him a horse.

Zhao Zi'an and Wei Changfeng rode side by side, and said in a low voice: "Bai Dutong shot three rockets as agreed, and reported that there was a retreat order, and now we should also let Bai Du be cut off according to the plan, right?" Unconsciously, Zhao Zi'an's tone was not an order, but a solicitation of opinions.

Wei Changfeng nodded and replied, "The general's decision is very correct. ”

His answer can be said to be very clever, and he did not say "yes" or "no", because no matter how he answered, there was a suspicion of approving General Chang's request, so he simply said that this was Zhao Zi'an's decision, and it was "very correct".

Zhao Zi'an naturally understood what Wei Changfeng meant, and nodded.

He knew in his heart that this was Wei Changfeng's politeness. Before leaving, Bai Qi agreed with Zhao Zi'an that if he found the herald of the Han army, and it was indeed ordered to retreat, he would send three rockets into the air in a row, and the three fires were the rockets sent by Bai Qi, so Zhao Zi'an decisively ordered to retreat, fortunately, the order was given in time, if it was later, I was afraid that it would be dawn before they retreated to a safe distance. The speed of the Donghu cavalry Zhao Zi'an has been taught, and being pursued by 50,000 iron cavalry is by no means a good thing.

However, now this situation can finally be avoided, all thanks to the power of Wei Changfeng, of course, you can't write like this when writing official documents, and you must mention Wei Changfeng's merits in official documents, but if he himself commands and is good, he can't forget it......

In the distance, there was a faint shouting.

Zhao Zi'an took the reins of his horse and stopped in place.

What's going on? Who's that shouting? Could it be that someone broke the order? No, listening to the sound of the place, there is a distance from the marching troops, this can't be their own subordinates, then ...... "Order, speed up the retreat, the Donghu army is chasing!" Zhao Zi'an's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered.

"General, it's not Donghu Jun, listen carefully!" Wei Changfeng hurriedly said.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Zi'an stopped the herald, listened carefully, and only heard that the shouting did not seem to be the sound of pursuit, but ...... It's a cry of despair, and a cry, Chinese, it's the voice of Chinese!

Zhao Zi'an and Wei Changfeng looked at each other, and after a while, the two said in unison: "It's the people of Xingcheng!" ”

That's right, it's the people of Xingcheng who are chasing after you!

The whole Han army went out of the city, originally saying that they were going to attack the enemy, but suddenly disappeared quietly, although the Donghu army did not notice it for a while, but the people of Xingcheng saw it clearly, and the terrible news immediately spread throughout the city: the Han army retreated!

Everyone knows that the Han army has just defeated the Donghu army, and now that the Han army has suddenly retreated, how could the Donghu army not vent its anger on the people of Xingcheng? For a time, there was a great chaos in the city, and a group of people dragged their children and daughters, helped the old and the young, and fled back along the retreat route of the Han army, hoping to reach Shanhaiguan safely like the Han army.

The marching column of the Han army suddenly stopped, and no one issued any orders, but all the soldiers stopped spontaneously, as if they had received orders at the same time. Everyone's eyes were on Zhao Zi'an.

Zhao Zi'an's face turned blue, and the faces of every general turned blue.

What should they do? It is indeed a last resort to retreat at night, and if you don't retreat, you can only kill some more people, and it will not do Xingcheng any good, but now that the people are chasing after them, should they abandon these people? Or simply kill people and kill the people who are chasing them, so that the army can be safe and then withdraw? The problem is that the people are shouting so loudly that it's too late to kill people now, right?
