[It's getting late, I'm really embarrassed.] However, I am free tonight, and the next shift will be sent around 12 o'clock in advance. 】

Li Cang lowered his head and crawled in the depths of the grass and trees. In the gap in the grass that was half human, he looked out onto the road.

Overhead, cold rain continued to drip onto his neck and down again. The grass where they were hiding was also full of rain. And the insects and locusts all came out, and fell from the trees to the people, and they refused to let go of their mouths when they bit them. No wonder the Song people did not choose to ambush in the woods, but waited directly at the post station. If you stay in this kind of place for half an hour, you can almost die, where can you still come out to fight?

"Are you gone?" Ding An couldn't bear the environment here one step earlier than Li Cang, and twisted uncomfortably.

"It's all gone!"

Hearing this, Ding An jumped up and slapped the insects crawling all over his body. Li Cang also got up, and there were still two blood-sucking locusts on his face. I didn't have time to use fire or salt to get rid of it, so I just ripped it off. Half of it was in his hand, and half of it was still hanging on his face, and two bloody marks were drawn on his cheeks. At the same time as they jumped, more than a dozen people stood up in the nearby grass, also flapping their bodies.

When the enemy troops waiting for the Changshan Post rushed out, Li Cang immediately drilled into the woods next to the mountain road. When you advance, you will stand at the front of the whole army, and when you flee, of course, you will fall behind, and when the enemy army catches up, you will be the first to die.

Li Cang is not the only smart person, and the one who took the lead, after seeing the enemy army rushing out of Changshan Station, did not have the courage to fight at all, and they all chose to flee. However, only a small number of people fled along the road they came, and most of them fled into the mountains and forests.

"It's the elder brother of the Li family!" A young soldier jumped over, his voice low and full of surprise, the older Li Cang had a bit of prestige among the soldiers. More than a dozen people nearby gathered, and Li Cang unknowingly became their leader.

"What next?" "Will I be court-martialed when I go back?" Everyone asked Li Cang.

Li Cang said: "Anyway, we can't stop Guangyuanman in the back, we will go back to the Chinese army directly, and the punishment will not be held accountable, and Captain Li will not use military law." ”

It was the Guangyuan Army that pursued and killed the past, not the Song people. But the barbarians, who were originally looked down upon by them, became brave and unparalleled with the support of the Song people. The head of the capital, who planned to force his subordinates to persist in the battle, was overwhelmed by the deserters, and before he could get up, he chopped off his head. Seeing those crazy barbarians, no one would think that the people behind would be able to stop them.

Ding An looked at the official who was looking south: "Will it be chased all the way to the Chinese army?" ”

"Didn't you see how far away Captain Li is from us? With a distance of nearly twenty miles, it is impossible to chase him out of the city in one go. Li Cang's cheeks twitched, "We were left behind in the first place, otherwise we wouldn't have been desperately chasing, and we didn't care if we could catch up later." ”

Although Li Cang is just a pawn, he has been in the army for more than ten years, and he knows very well that this arrangement is to let them go out of the enemy's ambush, and now it is just a success. If you can catch up with the enemy, you have to pester, so that they can't escape too fast. If you can't catch up, then step on the trap. Even if it's waste, you have to put it to good use.

"Who made us not a descendant of Taiwei Li!"

"Let's go!" Li Cang didn't say a second word, picked up his spear, and walked deeper into the grass and trees.

Ding An hurriedly followed, and the other soldiers also followed, and no one dared to be left alone in the strange forest.

……………………

Carrying a long knife given by Han Gang, Huang Quan slashed and killed the enemy wantonly.

Slashing and slashing the fleeing Jiaozhi soldiers from behind made him feel more and more happy.

Huang Quan felt more and more that choosing to take refuge in the Song people was a correct decision. For the Jiaozhi people who have bullied them for decades, Guangyuan Prefecture has endured it for a long time. Now I finally have the opportunity to let go of the past grievances.

When there was a loud bang, the two knives intersected.

The huge force from the confrontation made Huang Quanlian take two steps back, and before he could stand firmly, he slashed down again.

A sturdy man brandished a big knife and pursued Huang Quan without hesitation. Huang Quan narrowed his eyes, without the slightest look of fear, only a mocking smile. The strong man's long knife was about to swing down and slash the Guangyuan barbarian general in front of him. Suddenly, there was a chill behind him, and he suddenly lost his strength. Looking down, I saw a blood-stained tip of a spear poking out of my chest.

This is the last soldier on this mountain road who dares to resist. Compared with the two teams of Jiaozhi troops encountered before, the current team still had a lack of courage at the beginning, and some even tried to organize a counterattack, but their resistance, like a dam built with firewood and grass, was washed away in the blink of an eye in the flood.

Ruthlessly, he threw a cross-toed officer who knelt down and begged for mercy to the ground. Huang Quan carried a snowy long knife and walked in a pool of blood. The victorious Guangyuan barbarian army is rushing to reap the spoils of their war.

On the narrow battlefield, there are no more people standing up. The front of the enemy army under the command of the two commands did not let him waste too much time before he was wiped out. More than half of them escaped, and those who didn't escape became ghosts under the knife.

"Young Cave Master, do you want to chase again!"

Huang Quan looked at the mountain road with no end in sight, and shook his head: "Withdraw." ”

The front army of the Jiaozhi people was far apart from the middle army, and after chasing ten miles from their side, they were able to solve three enemy armies with a total of less than 1,000 men. Further down, he may be able to hit the main force of the Jiaozhi Army, but he is already too tired to run. And the main force that is returning to Kunlun Pass is impossible to rush over to help him, in case of entanglement, there is not even a single reinforcement.

And the most important thing is Han Gang's command - don't chase too far.

……………………

From Quy Nhon Shop, Li Changjie chased the Song army all the way, and was stationed at Dayangling Post in the evening.

The defeat of the former army only made him snort coldly, and there was no intention of punishment. Although he did want to catch up with the Song people, defeat them in one fell swoop in the chase, and take advantage of the situation to capture Kunlun Pass, no matter how confused Li Changjie was, he would not have thought of other possibilities and ways to deal with them. It's a pity that you didn't catch up, but that doesn't mean you lost if you can't catch up. With many times more troops than the enemy, there are many strategies that can be used.

The Song people's counterattack this time was also expected. They all hit Changshan Station, and it was impossible for the Song people to stay at Kunlun Pass without the little soldiers. And one thing is even more certain, the Song army really only has 800 people, otherwise such an important counterattack would not only be dispatched by the Guangyuan army.

Compared with the strength of the golden man, 800 people are too few, and the lord is weak and the minister is strong. When you are soaring, it is not hindered; But at the critical moment, Li Changjie didn't believe that the Song people could rest assured. Otherwise, the Song people would not have evacuated as soon as they saw that they had received reinforcements from their side.

And the counterattack of the Song people only defeated the front army. The Chinese army was not hit. Although morale will inevitably be low, the strength of the army is still enough to suppress the Song people. As long as the eight hundred Song troops can't leave Kunlun Pass, the next step is very good.

Everything is not out of control yet, but Li Changjie is now surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

came to Li Changjie, and it was Zong Yan.

Zong Ji didn't care about Li Changjie's faux pas, and walked in: "Liu Ji has already crossed the Zuojiang River, and Guangyuan soldiers have passed half of it. The ferries are in our hands, so there's nothing to worry about. It's ...... over here."

"What, you want to say quit?" Li Changjie's eyes narrowed dangerously, in fact, along the way, several generals had persuaded him to retreat, "Look at the rain outside, the bow and crossbow are difficult to use, and there are no people hidden in the mountains." The Song army that fled back could no longer have the strength to return to fight, and only the little soldiers stationed at Kunlun Pass could not impact my main account. ”

Zong Jian did not waver, waved his hand to signal everyone else in the tent to go out, and asked Li Changjie: "Is it necessary to fight this battle again?" ”

"How many people are there in the Song army? Eight hundred, together with the gold-filled soldiers, did not exceed five thousand. We have more than 20,000, and even the soldiers on your side can get out now, do you say you can fight or not?! ”

"In the valley, the difference in strength is not of much significance, and it is impossible for us to storm the city."

"As long as you bypass Kunlun Pass, you can attack Pennsylvania, or you can go back to Kunlun Pass. With only 800 soldiers, can the Song people still divide their troops? Or are they going to let the gold guard the Kunlun Pass? Or let him go to fight against the strange soldiers who bypassed Kunlun Pass? ”

At the beginning, Li Changjie's plan was to pursue, if he couldn't catch up, he would change it to give Kunlun Pass enough pressure, and the 10,000 people who stayed behind were the key. In the past several battles at Kunlun Pass, it was never a frontal attack on the Guancheng, but a surprise detour to the rear to attack back and forth. Li Changjie just planned to take advantage of the superiority in strength to replicate this strategy, his own formation to contain the Song army in Kunlun Pass, and the 10,000 troops left in the rear were to take the small road directly through the hilly area where Kunlun Pass was located, and kill behind the pass.

"How much risk would you have to take? The Song people didn't just have 800 soldiers! Their reinforcements could arrive at any moment. ”

"Reinforcements? How much? Zong Jia's questioning made it difficult for Li Changjie to contain his anger, he suffered so many losses in a row, and when he saw that he was about to embark on the road to victory, Zong Jian even objected, "They went all the way south from Guizhou, and they went into battle without resting, who can they do?" We're not Liu Yong's idiots. As long as you take Kunlun Pass or Pennsylvania first, you don't have to worry about any reinforcements! ”

"Sooner or later, the Song people will send more troops, whether it is Kunlun Pass or Penn City, they will have to give up at the very least. The Song army, who was forced to rescue Yongzhou, fled in embarrassment and won, and they didn't even make it to Yongzhou City! Zong Jian kept his calm in front of the angry Li Changjie, "If you lose one more person now, you will have less troops to resist the southward Song army." This time, it was only the vanguard who came to rescue Yongzhou, not the army of crusade. When the Song army marches south, it will be hundreds of thousands of troops to deal with! ”

"It's better to think of it as an army of hundreds of thousands." The anger on Li Changjie's face disappeared, and he suddenly became calm: "Let me ask you, which is more dangerous for Da Yue?" Is it an army of 350,000 or an army of 350,000? …… We must not let the Song people underestimate Dayue! ”
