Outside the city. Gao Shun was extremely excited, he commanded the Fujiao artillery to smash the city gate, this was so happy in his heart, this was much more enjoyable than his usual command of the artillery, especially when he saw the chaos at the city gate, he had a special sense of achievement, as if the heaven and earth were in my chest, there was no city in the world that he could not smash!

Gao Shun shouted: "Keep shooting, anywhere on the city wall, just throw the stone on the city wall!" "This is equivalent to giving an order to shoot freely, and now the Qiang soldiers are already in chaos, and there is no need to find a target, anyway, as long as it is a city wall, it is all a target!

The Fujiao artillerymen were just like him, all of them were extremely excited, shouting, their artillery had this benefit, they didn't have to obey the silent military order, as long as they were happy, they could shout a few times!

As soon as the soldiers were excited, their combat effectiveness would increase exponentially, and the artillerymen threw big stones at the city wall and knocked down another wall, and now there was no one on the city wall, and all the Qiang soldiers ran clean!

But the artillery was still firing, Li Qin's side did not give the order to stop, they just finished shooting, it was regarded as training, smashing the city wall This is the best actual combat exercise, how can I usually be willing to build such a long and strong earthen wall, even if it is manpower, it can't mobilize so much!

Yuan Shao saw that there were no Qiang soldiers on the city wall, so he hit his horse and came to Li Qin's side, and said, "Li Lang, can you stop?" We can start climbing the city, I think the wall has a big gap, and the soldiers can climb it without a ladder! ”

Li Qin smiled: "That's not necessary, the Qiang soldiers in the city must be running out, and the city is full of fire, it's useless for us to go in, and we don't have to get anything in the city!" ”

Zhang Qin also came over, and after listening to Li Qin's words, he said with a lot of words: "General Yuan, this is because you have too little experience, or you have less experience in war!" Since our family came to Fort Fujiao, we have experienced dozens of battles, large and small, and we are still very familiar with the current situation, and we should fight like this now......" He looked like a teacher and began to teach Yuan Shaolai.

Yuan Shao thought to himself: "Dozens of battles? Since the Fujiao Army became an army, there have only been a few battles in total, and you have experienced dozens of battles alone, you experienced it when you were dreaming, right? ”

But he can't refute it, it would be too bad to give Zhang Qin face, with Zhang Zhongguan's careful eyes, if he doesn't give face tonight, then Zhang Xiaoyan will not give him face for the rest of his life, so he has to listen to his nonsense even if he grits his teeth!

Li Qin didn't listen to Zhang Qin's rambling nonsense, he called Jia Xu and said, "If the black egg fails to catch Li Wenhou, think about it, where will Li Wenhou collect the defeated army?" He must be unwilling to be defeated, and he can't leave so many Qiang soldiers behind, he must collect the remnants of the defeated generals, where should it be? ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "Our army has won a big victory, and the time to pursue it will be during the day, so it is certain to chase dozens of miles, and the cavalry chase is not safe for Li Wenhou within a hundred miles, so Li Wenhou will escape for a hundred miles before resting, but he will not immediately collect the army at this time, because that will attract us to continue chasing, and at this time, the Qiang soldiers are frightened, and there are everywhere, so he can't close it much!" ”

Li Qin said: "According to the distance, he can only start to collect the remnants of the defeated army at a distance of about two hundred miles, only if he is so far away, he can be safe, and the army that has just been collected will not be scattered again!" So which direction should it be? ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Don't think about it, the west is definitely not good, the north has to pass through most of the state, this is not easy, and the newly defeated army wants to get supplies, then don't even think about it, the east is Song Xiao's territory, even if this assassin is wasted, he will not see the cheap and not pick up, no matter how stupid Li Wenhou is, he will not run to be cheap, so only the south is left, where it is densely populated, it is easy to rob, and we dare not press too hard, lest he jump off the wall in a hurry and run in the direction of Luoyang, the consequences will be serious!" ”

Li Qin said: "Okay, then let's chase to the north, first make a momentum to chase the south, and when Li Wenhou turns, we will block him!" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "Yes! ”

Li Qin called the generals of the various departments and said: "Dian Wei, you first take people to run to the south, so that all the Qiang soldiers know that you are chasing Li Wenhou, and Li Wenhou is going to the south, and when you see an army turning and fleeing north, you will collect the troops and come back, just stay in this Gaonu County, send someone to see, there are no Han people nearby, and if there are Qiang soldiers to surrender, you can also take it in, just do it for the time being!" ”

Dian Wei agreed, took a thousand soldiers and horses, and ran south.

Li Qin said again: "The rest, all of them, follow me to the north, on the way, no one is allowed to make a sound, and no one is allowed to fight with the Qiang soldiers, just march quietly, let's arrest Li Wenhou!" ”

The soldiers agreed in unison, and began to march north.

Gao Shun shouted: "Li Lang, what about me, now I only use the horn cannon, and the siege vehicle or something hasn't come in handy yet!" ”

Li Qin pointed to the county town with black smoke billowing and said: "The west gate of this city has been abandoned, even if the city wall has not collapsed, it is full of cracks, if it is rebuilt, it must be knocked down first, and it cannot be restored on the spot." Therefore, you just have a big drill, smash down the entire western wall, and train your troops well, your artillery will come in handy in the future! ”

Gao Shun's face was full of red light, and the happiest thing he was doing now was smashing things, which had become his hobby, more addictive than drinking. He shouted: "Okay, with Li Lang's words, the last general will smash things, then he will be even more energetic, and he can't stop if he wants to!" ”

Li Qin laughed and said, "It should be full of smashing energy!" "Take the Fujiao army and march north.

Yuan Shao looked at Gao Shun and thought: "This horn cannon is a good thing, do I want to stay here to learn it, I will also build a few in the future, just like Li Qin, I will smash whoever I watch!" But he looked at Li Qin again, and thought: "I'd better keep up with him, the horn cannon is a dead thing, and you can learn it whenever you want, but Li Qin's ability to fight is not something that can be seen at any time, I can't see it this time, and I won't have a chance in the future!" ”

Reluctantly glanced at the horn cannon again, Yuan Shao followed Li Qin, and he asked, "Li Lang, did Li Wenhou run to the north?" ”

Li Qin said: "No, after he left the city, he should have run south." Didn't I send Dian Wei out, Dian Wei shouted with his soldiers, then Li Wenhou is now like a lost dog, he must be frightened, then he will definitely turn to the north, because except for the north, he has nowhere to go, let's take the army to the north to block him, and we will be able to block him! ”

Yuan Shaoxin said: "This is expected to be the enemy's first?" No, this is even more powerful than expecting the enemy plane first, it's just leading the enemy's nose, is Li Qin so powerful? Well, if he can do that, then I've learned a trick that I'll use in the future! ”

The night march was in Gaonu County, when the flames were raging and the Qiang soldiers were all hiding, as long as the Fujiao army did not chase after the Qiang soldiers, no Qiang soldiers dared to come to them. The march of the Fujiao army was extremely smooth, and by dawn it had driven out for fifty miles, and everywhere it passed, whether it was a thatched hut or a broken tent, there were no Qiang soldiers in it, and they all ran cleanly, leaving only a mess everywhere!

Fifty miles away, there is a small river, this river is not wide, at most only two or three zhang, but the river is deep, the scouts reported, saying that the depth of this river is three zhang, the water flow is also rapid, there is more sediment in the river, the water color is turbid, look at the two banks of the small river, there is no trace of the march of the army, it is estimated that Li Wenhou has not fled here!

Li Qin personally went to the river, looked at the river, and thought: "This can't be regarded as a river, it should be said to be a ditch, and there is so much sediment, if it is not treated, it may burst the embankment, and the river will overflow, and it will flood the nearby villages!" ”

Looking around, Li Qin said: "In the past, a group of people set up an ambush on the opposite side, and when Li Wenhou came, he crossed this ditch and gave him a hard beating." Zhao Zheng, you are the best at arresting people, so it's up to you to do it! ”

Zhao Zheng has always been low-key, Li Qin doesn't call him, he rarely comes over, listening to Li Qin's order, he hurriedly shouted: "Get the order!" "With five hundred of the most elite horn soldiers, he dismounted his horses, swam across the river, and found a place to ambush.

Li Qin said again: "There is a big forest over there, let's go in and rest, eat some dry food, if you don't eat enough, you will have the strength to fight." "He led the army into the woods and rested.

After a long time, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and thousands of Qiang soldiers fled here, which seemed to be Li Wenhou's personal guards.

Li Wenhou rode a horse and galloped in the middle of the Qiang soldiers, and the anger in his heart was indescribable. Last night he led his troops out of the east gate and fled all the way to the south, but he didn't escape far, when there were Qiang soldiers behind him who screamed, saying that a Fujiao army was chasing after him, shouting and shouting to capture him alive. Li Wenhou's first reaction was that Bian Zhang had surrendered, otherwise how would the Fujiao army know that they were going to flee to the south, and the Fujiao soldiers behind him were still shouting so loudly?

But after thinking about it again, at that time, Bian Zhang was going to persuade him to flee to the north, but he had to go south, and it seemed that he couldn't blame Bian Zhang's head. Maybe Bian Zhang was captured alive, so he confessed, and wanted to use his own head to make a contribution, so that he could have an errand in the Fujiao Army?

He couldn't confirm his imagination, but he knew that it was not possible to flee to the south, but it was not possible to go east or west, so he had to bite the bullet and take the soldiers around in a big circle and go around to the north.

But he escaped a few miles away, and then he was followed by a horn soldier, this horn soldier was full of good shooters, after catching up, he shot indiscriminately, and shot hundreds of Qiang soldiers, and the Qiang soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and fled a lot. He could only send the most powerful Qiang general to resist. The pursuers were blocked for a while, but it didn't take long for them to kill the Qiang general, and they chased after them again, and they fell firmly behind, and they couldn't get rid of it!

In the midst of the rapid running, a Qiang soldier shouted in front: "Your Majesty, it's time to get off the horse ditch!" ”
