Because the Jin people cut off the road, Zhou Quan had not received the situation in the north for the time being, and he could only infer from the prior arrangement that Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Ye Chu had already begun to act. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After more than ten days of connection, even if the Jin people did not attack the city, they could not harass and make noise at night, so that the people in the city could not sleep peacefully, and last night was no exception. It was Zhou Quan, except for the first night attack, who had rested well since then.

"Zong Gong invited me?" He got up early in the morning and moved his muscles in the courtyard for a while, when he heard a little official come and say, "What is the matter?" ”

Zong Ze has not had military intelligence these days, so he usually won't bother him, so Zhou Quan will ask this.

"I don't know." The little officer didn't know anything about it.

Zhou Quan hurried to the city, but saw Zong Ze's bloodshot eyes, his eyes widened, and he looked into the distance.

Unlike Zhou Quan, these days, Zong Ze has not slept a single sleep, that is, he is napping, and he also sleeps in the city and clothes.

Seeing Zhou Quan arrive, Zong Ze put down his binoculars and said in a deep voice: "Jiguo Gong, please see, did the Jin people retreat?" ”

Zhou Quan also raised his binoculars and looked at the enemy camp in the distance.

In order to avoid being attacked by the city again, the camp tent of the Jin people retreated five miles, more than ten miles away from Yingtian City, and it was difficult to see what was happening inside with the naked eye without the help of binoculars.

Even with a telescope, you can only get a rough idea. Zhou Quan looked at it for a while, and then asked Zong Ze, "Has Zong Gong ever sent someone to investigate?" ”

"I raised the warriors to go down the wall and went to get a glimpse of it, but before I could reach it, I was driven back by the enemy horsemen - the situation was very wrong, the enemy army and horses had been noisy all night last night, and I thought it was harassment, or maybe we were tired of attacking the city at night, but there was no movement. In the morning, although the flags in the enemy camp were still there, there were many fewer active figures, and at this time in the past, the gold thieves would inevitably come to test it, but today they have not left the camp until now. ”

Zhou Quan squinted and nodded: "It's the same as what I saw, Zonggong's guess should be good, the Jin people have withdrawn." ”

Zong Ze didn't summon him to see these suspicions, but asked him to confirm whether the main force of the Jin army had withdrawn.

Hearing Zhou Quan say this, Zong Ze's face flushed slightly: "If that's the case, then it's great......"

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you try it...... I don't go to the city with Zonggong these days, waiting for this opportunity, Zonggong, please order the east gate to be opened, let me go out to test it, if the Jin people are really gone, I will hang the tail to attack, if the Jin people are making a mystery, please also ask the Zonggong to pay attention to me, it really can't be done, I will go east along the railway. ”

That's exactly what Zong Ze meant.

When Zhou Quan led 3,000 sergeants out of the east gate, the Jin camp over there suddenly became chaotic.

Without waiting for his troops to approach, the entire barracks, an unknown number of people, rushed out.

Zhou Quan oversaw the army and was about to engage these people, but he saw them kneeling down one after another, abandoning their blades and raising their hands one by one.

"Escaped, all escaped!"

"The golden man escaped last night, and we don't know!"

"We want to descend, we are Han Chinese, we want to descend!"

Zhou Quan didn't have much joy in his heart, but became irritable.

The retreat of the golden man was expected by him, but the retreat was so clean and neat, which was beyond his expectations. Originally, he was thinking that by himself, he would attract the Jin people to Yingtian City, make the other party's main general hesitate, and buy more time for Yue Fei and Han Shizhong in the north.

As a result, the other party left some traitor troops as suspicious, but he ran away.

Listening to the tone of these puppet soldiers, the Jin people have retreated for most of the night, and if they chase after them at this time, they should be able to catch up. It's just that with the other party's resolute attitude, Zhou Quan suspects that the other party will give up all his baggage and quickly stay away. Even if you catch up, I'm afraid that the other party will cut off your tail and survive.

Anyway, you'll have to catch up and give it a try.

Therefore, he waved his hand: "Hugh must ignore them, we will follow the trail!" ”

Throwing these traitor troops who claimed to have surrendered to Zong Ze to clean up, he led his troops to chase north. The Jin people retreated overnight, leaving a lot of traces, as Zhou Quan expected, they walked while abandoning the baggage they carried, the first thing they threw down was those cloth silks were soft, and the Jin people deliberately overturned them on the side of the road, if they were replaced by others, they wanted to pick up these soft ones, but Zhou Quan didn't even glance at them.

"There are a lot of them produced by our Donghai Chamber of Commerce." Someone muttered, and then the steps tightened.

After the cloth was soft and soft, there were gold, silver, and copper coins, and even boxes of silver dollars, which were poured on the ground and mixed with the dirt. Many of them are still spilled in the stream, and it will take a lot of time to get them up.

When you don't do this, you must be a little reluctant.

But Zhou Quan just sneered: "The donkey skills are exhausted, and he is trying to use this to disturb the hearts of our army, continue to pursue, don't stop!" ”

The armies continued to move forward, and the next thing they saw was ordnance, and even artillery was thrown on the road.

In this regard, Zhou Quan was even more puffed, these bronze cannons of the Jin people, a few of them were self-made, and most of them were paid from the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty, in Zhou Quan's view, these are all wastes, and the artillery battles that are fought louder have a limited actual role on the battlefield.

So he still ignored it.

After that, the Jin people even threw down the grain and grass, and you can imagine how anxious they were.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Quan was even more puzzled, and urged again: "Jin people can't escape far, chase!" ”

He didn't know that just a dozen miles away from them, in the woods outside the mouth of a river, nearly 10,000 gold soldiers were lying in ambush.

Wan Yan stared lazily at Nan Mian without blinking his eyes.

"Will the Song people really chase after them?" Someone next to him muttered something in a low voice.

"If it were someone else, they might not dare to chase it, but Zong Ze and Zhou Quan in Yingtianfu would definitely send troops to chase them. They are afraid that we will kill the horse gun, and there are not many troops, it must be Zhou Quan's 3,000 men and horses...... Hmph, we ran fast all the way, and they chased in a hurry, so they definitely won't carry cannons. When the time comes, if we can defeat them, we will have no worries about traveling north! ”

Wanyan tart lazy is Ah Guta's cousin, and he is also a veteran general in the army, when he decided to return north to help Ah Guta, he volunteered to ask for a break. But after the break, he didn't want to be passively beaten and others to catch up, on the contrary, he preferred to set up an ambush and defeat the Han people who dared to pursue. For this reason, he even said that he would not be able to leave, and threw down the baggage that was not easy to carry in the north, which could not only delay the actions of the Song people, but also slack off the opponent.

The sluggishness was not done, but Zhou Quan was indeed a little careless about the arrogance.

But when Wanyan tart was lazy like a cockroach catching a cicada waiting for Zhou Quan to take the bait, he never thought that behind his side, on a gentle slope, a balloon slowly rose.

"How, do you see anything?"

"No...... No, no, over the forest, there are birds circling, but they refuse to fall, it seems that there are people in the forest! ”

Hearing the words of the scout on the hot air balloon, Xie Bao pouted: "Could it be that you are waiting for us?" ”

"Definitely not, we saw it, the main forces of the Fang Cai Jin people are heading north, these people must be ambushed and ready to deal with the pursuers......"

The scout's reminder made Xie Bao's expression change from indifferent to solemn: "No, if it's from Yingtian...... That must be Zhou Gong, not good, Zhou Gong may fall into the ambush of the gold thief! ”

Thinking of this, he jumped to his feet, looked around him, picked two of the best and most clever horsemen, and made them speed up the detour to warn them, and at the same time sent out the rest of the messengers to gather the scattered tribes again.

Without waiting for his people to gather together, the scouts on the balloon saw the smoke and dust brought up by Zhou Quan's troops.

I don't know if the messenger he sent will catch up in time to inform Zhou Quan, Xie Bao muttered twice, he can't judge how many Jin people are in ambush now, but one thing is certain, it must be more than the people chased out of Ying Tianfu.

"Do you see the flag clearly, who is chasing it?"

"It's Zhou Gong, it's Zhou Gong's banner!" The scout on the hot air balloon shouted, his voice full of nervousness.

"Anyway, prepare to attack!" Xie Bao scolded again.

He had already understood Jin Ren's plan, and when Zhou Quan's troops waded across the river, they intercepted halfway. In the case of not knowing whether Zhou Quan received the news, Xie Bao's only choice was to attack before Zhou Quan went to the river, so that Zhou Quan knew that there was an ambush here.

In this way, it will inevitably put the Xie Bao Department in a predicament, since the other party dares to ambush Zhou Quan's department, which is a type A army, there is no problem in dealing with him, which is only a few hundred people.

But at this juncture, Xie Bao can only do this. He was even sure that if he decided to sit back and watch Zhou Quan fall into the trap, he was afraid that he would be captured by his own subordinates and take away his command in the next moment.

Including him, there is no doubt about the loyalty of this force to Zhou Quan himself.

But just then, he heard the scout shout from the balloon above: "Wait a minute, I see a flag...... Simultaneously...... Fire Word Banner! ”

The "fire" flag means fire attack, and it is impossible to fight it during the march, and now Zhou Quan's department not only played the fire flag, but the flag is also very large, obviously temporarily processed, so that they can also be seen from a distance.

Xie Bao consulted with several subordinates and roughly guessed Zhou Quan's thoughts.

"At this time, it is the north wind, go to the wind and set fire to smoke the golden man...... When the time comes, it will be us who will intercept half-crossing, not gold thieves! Xie Bao said.

This is exactly what Zhou Quan meant.

After receiving the warning, Zhou Quan asked about the terrain and made this decision. may not be able to catch up with the inseparable headquarters, but the army he left behind must be completely wiped out!

Seeing that he was about to reach the river, Zhou Quan glanced at the woods on the other side of the river, this dense forest is said to belong to Yang Jian, and it is because of Yang Jian's obscenity that the people dare not enter the woods to make it look like this.

"Stop, array!" Arriving at the riverside, he ordered.

The fact that he did not cross the river immediately immediately aroused Wanyan's lazy vigilance, but his vigilance was too late at this time.

"Fire, fire!" Behind him, someone suddenly shouted.

Wan Yan tart lazily turned around, but saw behind him, thick smoke billowed out, fire snakes churning, under the urging of the north wind, a wall of fire several feet high, was rapidly approaching them!

That's at least a hundred fire points on fire at the same time, and then there can be such a momentum!

Looking at this fire, Tart Lazy's eyes were full of despair, he resolutely turned around, and looked at Zhou Quanbu on the other side of the river, he knew very well that he had only one way to go.

At the same time, Zhou Quan gave a ruthless order on the other side of the river: "Zhang Xuan! (To be continued.) )
