Chapter 155: Pursue while you are victorious

With the sound of drums, the 10,000 troops of the Broken Army lined up in a neat queue, marching towards Zhang Xianzhong's camp in the south in an orderly manner with the beat of the drums, the battlefield situation changed, the original sneak attack became a pursuit battle, and the marching Broken Army was like an irresistible torrent, slowly moving forward, and any rogues who were blocking in front of them were crushed. Driven by the captive army, all the rogues along the way fled south in a panic.

When the other half of the battle began, Zhang Xianzhong reacted almost at the same time, because Liu Fan did not arrange for someone to attack Zhang Xianzhong's south gate, so although the rogue army at the south gate was a little flustered, it did not last long, under the suppression of Zhang Xianzhong's headquarters, it did not take too long for the rogue at the south gate to return to calm.

Riding on the war horse, Zhang Xianzhong looked at the fire in the north with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice, "Hopeful!" Order the army to retreat ten miles back and set up camp! Shang Li! You lead the team to pick them up! ”

Zhang Kewang, who was only twenty years old (grandson Kewang, surnamed Zhang with Zhang Xianzhong at this time) suggested, "Father! We still have 50,000 and less than 10,000 officers and soldiers, judging from today's daytime battles, these officers and soldiers are just some newcomers, and their strength is not very good! Why retreat! I think we can line up to meet the enemy! I don't believe that with so many of our armies, we can't beat these recruits! ”

Zhang Xianzhong said angrily, "That's so much nonsense, hurry up and execute the order!" Lao Tzu eats more salt than you eat rice! What should I do, do I still need you to teach me? It's night at the moment, don't you see that the other three-way armies have been defeated? The most taboo to bomb the camp at night! The situation is beyond our control at the moment! It's midday, and it's not far from dawn! We must leave the battlefield before dawn, otherwise we will be defeated once we are attacked by the officers and soldiers! After so many years of fighting, don't you understand? Zhang Xianzhong said, and his tone was disappointed in the end.

When Zhang Kewang heard his father-in-law's reprimand, his face was already red at the moment, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he said, "Yes!" Father! Son, do as you commanded! ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded when he heard this, "Hmm! Go for it! Then he sighed and said to the left and right: "It's really a newborn calf, not afraid of tigers!" This Liu Fan was young, but he didn't expect to be so bold! With these newcomers, dare to start a night battle! Looks like I'm underestimating him! Alas! After this battle, we will have a harder time in the future! ”

Zhang Xianzhong sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that Cao Wenzhao had just left and a more powerful Liu Fan, at this moment Zhang Xianzhong even had some doubts in his heart, could it be that his eight kings were going to fold in Taihang Mountain? Zhang Xianzhong's heart was full of unwillingness! finally waited for Wang to die by himself, and finally survived! He also wants to do a big job and become an immortal hero in this troubled world, and he still wants to enjoy the power of beauty! His ambitions haven't even begun! Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and said, "Cao Wenzhao! Liu Fan! One day, I, Zhang Xianzhong, will personally cut off your heads to avenge today's humiliation! ”

Under Zhang Xianzhong's order, the 50,000-strong army began to slowly retreat. In the narrow plain of Yangyi, the official army and the rogues staged a big drama of chasing me and fleeing.

In the end, the rogue with no military qualities at all is inferior to the well-trained Rogue, and the longer the time, the closer the distance between the Breaker and the Rogue are. Before dawn, the Broken Army finally caught up with the tail of Zhang Xianzhong's troops less than ten miles south of Yangyi. Seeing that the official army was chasing after him so quickly, Wang Shangli, who was in charge of answering the broken back, was suddenly shocked, and immediately divided into a small team, pressing the retreating rogues to block the broken army and buy time for the retreat of the army.

The rogues in charge of the broken queen also knew that at this time, it was either you or I died, and under the desperate death, he was inspired by the tyranny in his heart, and even launched a counter-charge against the broken army. With red eyes and a strange roar in his mouth, the ragged rogues brandished their weapons and charged towards the Breakers.

Seeing this, Wu Tao, who was at the forefront, immediately ordered: "Flat gun!" Stab! The soldiers of the Broken Army shouted, "Kill!" The spear stabbed out, and in the middle of the charge, he charged at the rogue with the spear in his hand. The spears rushed towards the enemy like a torrent of steel, and the spears pierced through the chest before they could get close. The soldiers of the Broken Army shouted and pushed forward with the penetrated rogue, and the back row of rogues were taken down before they could react, and the Broken Prisoners looked indifferent, stepped on the corpse of the rogue, and continued to kill forward. The bloody courage of the Liukou was only a moment after encountering such an indifferent killing machine as the Broken Army, and it was crushed after only a moment of resistance!

The Broken Army is like a fierce wolf, trailing behind the Rogue Army, constantly biting at the fat of the Rogue Army, gnawing at the Rogue Kou Army piece by piece.

The sun rises, the fiery red sunlight sprinkles all over the earth, at this moment Yangyi is full of stumps and broken arms, everywhere are dead corpses, everywhere are discarded weapons and armor, blood stains the earth, but there is no warmth under the sun, but it is full of gloomy feeling, like a Shura field.

The battle lasted all night and did not end until dawn. After half a night of escaping, at this moment, the elite men and horses of the Liukou have fled to the vicinity of Shexian County, and the rest are the "Liukou army" composed of some homeless people, Liu Fan felt that there was no much point in chasing down, so he ordered the soldiers to give up the pursuit. First, after a day and a night of fighting, most of the soldiers were exhausted, and they were easily counterattacked by Zhang Xianzhong and others after chasing them. Second, because there were so many prisoners, from yesterday morning to the end of this morning, the Breaker Army had captured a total of no less than 60,000 people. You can't kill all these captives! Liu Fan asked himself if he was not so ruthless, and he couldn't slaughter these rogues who gave up resistance. There is also the main reason that the Broken Army preaches fighting for the people of the world, if these people are ordered to be killed, the spiritual foundation on which Liu Fan relies to rule will collapse, and Liu Fan will not be able to deal with himself!

Since you can't kill it, you can only appease it. But with as many as 60,000 of them, including women and children, if you want to be appeased, just eating is a big problem. 60,000 mouths, even Liu Fan's amount of grain can't fill such a big bottomless pit! Moreover, Liu Fan did not carry much grain and grass on this long-distance expedition, and it was simply unable to satisfy the "appetite" of so many people! Besides, how to settle these rogues who have become "homeless" again is also a big problem, Liu Fan is really afraid! I'm afraid that if I continue to fight, I will capture more rogues! The more people who are captured, the more headaches Liu Fan has, and I'm afraid that Zhang Xianzhong's people can't wait for Liu Fan to take over this "burden"! I can run away with the elite men!
