Chapter 574: The Pursuers Are Behind

Because Yihu was also from a high-ranking aristocratic background in Linhu, Mantuo handed over the command of the vanguard troops to him. But Mantuo was a little worried about the young man, and told Yi Hu: "You must see the direction of Zhao Guoren's escape, don't chase the wrong route." ”

Yi shook his head suddenly, and replied loudly: "Don't worry, general, what we Linhu people are best at is to find traces, as long as there are clues left on the ground, they can't escape our eyes." Besides, there are a lot of people who are in a hurry to escape. I just couldn't see where they fled without dismounting. ”

Mantuo gave Yihu a thumbs up, and then said to the generals of the formation: "Although Yihu is young, he is a first-class hunter, and his reputation spreads far and wide in the grassland. ”

He pointed at Yi Hu and said, "When you go to pursue, you must obey Yi Hu's orders, but his horse is the head, do you understand?" ”

All the generals nodded in obedience, and Mantuo waved his hand and ordered: "Set off immediately, advance quickly, and never let the prince of Zhao Guo run away." If anyone can hold the crown prince of Zhao, Shan Yu and I will reward him with a hillside meadow. ”

Yi Hu and the others all raised their hands and said, "Obey the general's order, and you must hold the crown prince of Zhao State." "These people all understand how important it is for the Lin Hu people to capture the crown prince of Zhao State, at least in exchange for a large area of land in the northern part of Zhao State, which can not be compared to the grassland on a hillside. In this operation, there was no one who was eager to capture the prince of Zhao Guo alive than the Lin Hu people.

Less than half an hour after the departure of the advance formation, the Qin army heralds sent by Zhang Yi to report the news also arrived at the Linhu people's station.

Before the herald set off, Zhang Yi specially instructed him: "If General Mantuo is not visible in the Linhu garrison in the south of Jinyang City, then he must personally go to pursue the fleeing people in the south of the city, you must chase after him from behind, tell General Mantuo that the fleeing person is the prince of Zhao, and ask him to do everything possible to capture the prince of Zhao." ”

However, when the herald arrived at the camp of the Linhu people, as soon as he informed him of his intention, he did not expect that Linhu's Chinese guards immediately led him to meet General Mantuo. The herald was very surprised, he thought that Mantuo had already set off to pursue, and he was not in the camp at this time, and he did not expect to see Mantuo here.

Mantuo was not in a hurry to set off, just because the generals of the remaining four formations were unable to come for a long time. Mantuo sent a few more guards and kept urging them. The anger in Mantuo's heart was like a fire on the grassland in late autumn, burning the sky red, but at this time, the military situation was extremely urgent, and he could only suppress the anger and wait anxiously when he set off.

The Qin army herald arrived in the big tent of the Chinese army, saw Mantuo, and made Zhang Yi's words clear to Mantuo, Mantuo "snorted" and said: "I know the way, you go back immediately and tell Zhang Yi that our Lin Hu people have sent people to hunt down and kill the prince of Zhao, let him wait for the result with confidence." ”

The herald of the Qin army was a Qin man from the north who was specially selected by Zhang Yi to communicate with Lin Hu's cavalry troops for this operation, and he could understand Lin Hu's language. When he heard that Mantuo didn't even call "Zhang Chengxiang", and called "Zhang Yi" by his name with a big grin, he was very angry in his heart, and he found that Mantuo, who was the commander of the Lin Hu Wolf cavalry, didn't care about the escape of the prince of Zhao, and the herald was also very angry.

He gave the man a cold look, and did not answer his command. Mantuo glared at him and scolded, "I told you to go back and tell Zhang Yi, didn't you understand?" Do you want me to repeat it? ”

Only then did the Qin army herald casually respond: "Oh, I listened. ”

Mantuo's anger was in full swing, and when he saw that the herald seemed to be a little dissatisfied with him, he scolded: "Since you heard it, don't you get out of here!" Turtle grandson! ”

When the Qin army herald heard Mantuo's vicious curse, he was very aggrieved and his tears almost fell, he looked at Mantuo sadly, resisted the strong urge to scold, and turned around and left Mantuo's big tent. The herald of the Qin army found his war horse and immediately went back to report his life to Zhang Yi, but if he saw Zhang Yi again, where would he say anything good about Mantuo.

Mantuo scolded the Qin army heralds, and he himself summoned the remaining guards around him again, and asked them to pull the generals of those formations to the Chinese army's tent regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.

Mantuo was really impatient to wait, because after all, he was still worried that his army would be divided into two ends, and it would be very disadvantageous to fight.

His worries were not unwarranted at all, because although Lin Hu's wolf cavalry was strong, it also relied on collective combat, especially against the Central Plains, who outnumbered him.

The wolf cavalry led by Yi Hu was about 18,000 people, and Yi Hu was bent on pursuit, and he didn't arrange any marching queues, but simply rushed forward. He himself ran at the front, waving his whip vigorously, repeatedly urging his horse to gallop.

The wolf cavalry of the Linhu tribe marched at such a fast pace that although they delayed for a long time to set out in pursuit, they still caught up with the rear of the joint column after an hour and a half.

The tail of this team was the squadron of more than 300 people rescued by Du Qing himself, most of whom were natives of Zhao State. These soldiers have all participated in the Battle of Anyi and the Battle of Michi, and they can be regarded as veterans with rich combat experience.

When the sky was slightly bright, Du Qing took these more than 300 soldiers to deal with the more than 20 wolf cavalry knights who followed, he knew that his actions had alarmed the Lin Hu cavalry, and he guessed that a large number of Lin Hu cavalry might follow his trail to pursue.

Du Qing repeatedly urged the soldiers at the end of the group to speed up their march, however, most of these people were infantry, there were no war horses, and they could not get up fast just by running on two legs. Fortunately, the commander of the Linhu people, Mantuo, was drunk the night before and was delayed for a long time, otherwise the soldiers at the end of this group would soon be chased by the Linhu cavalry.

While hurrying away, Du Qing wondered: "Why have you been walking for so long, and there is still no trace of the Lin Hu people?" Did they give up the pursuit? That's great! ”

They walked out of Lu for about 60 miles, and when they passed a high post, suddenly a sergeant on a horse pointed behind Du Qing, and he reminded Du Qing loudly: "General Du, look, there is a large amount of smoke and dust behind us, is it that the Lin Hu people have chased after us?" ”

Du Qing "chuckled" in his heart for a moment, and thought: "I can't hide from what I should have come after all." The Linhu cavalry still caught up. ”

At this time, he didn't know where the forward troops of the Lu Dao Column Army had reached, and he didn't know where Zhao Yong, the prince of Lu Dao, was in front. Because Yihu was also from a high-ranking aristocratic background in Linhu, Mantuo handed over the command of the vanguard troops to him. But Mantuo was a little worried about the young man, and told Yi Hu: "You must see the direction of Zhao Guoren's escape, don't chase the wrong route." ”
