"Chase! Pursue! Pursue! Everybody chases me! Be sure to chase the major general back! We must bring the major general back————! ”

Seeing that the poor Huang Shao General was captured by the rookie cavalry of the Xuzhou army, and the flying horse came forward to rescue and was shot back by random arrows, Chen Yu, who assisted Huang Shao General, had red eyes, waving the spear in his hand just to urge the army to pursue, completely ignoring that the two thousand soldiers under his command were all infantry, and there was almost no possibility of catching up with the enemy on horseback, and the Jingzhou soldiers saw that the enemy on the opposite side had turned around and fled, and it seemed that they had no intention of fighting again, so they did not hesitate, and they were relieved to boldly chase, and the loud shouts of killing were like thunder"Kill——! Rescue the Major General————! ”

Of course, Liu Biaojun's team is not without people who understand, at least one Du Bo surnamed Wei scolded and sweared, "Dog's straw bag!" Can the infantry chase the cavalry? People have four legs and rotating war horses, how can we chase with only two legs? Liu Biao'er's command is really a group of straw bales! But scolding and scolding, there were a large number of generals, generals and tooth generals on his head pressing and urging, and Du Bo still had no choice but to lead his fifty or so people to chase after him, wasting his physical strength in vain for the hope that could not exist at all.

To the surprise of this Wei Du Bo, the team of Xuzhou cavalry in front of him seemed to be very rookie, and the speed of escape was much slower than Wei Du Bo imagined, always swaying in front of the Jingzhou infantry a hundred steps away, saying that nothing could be done to get rid of the pursuit of the enemy on foot, and what was even more outrageous was that after the rookie cavalry in front of him had just raised a few big flags, he was still reciting the Analects neatly on the way to escape, "Zi said, learn and learn it, isn't it also pleasant?" Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen......? ”

"Not good, the enemy is deliberately luring the enemy!" Hearing the enemy's relaxed and leisurely neat chanting, Dubo's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly chased after him in three steps and two steps, and quickly caught up with Chen Qi, who led the army in pursuit, and shouted loudly: "General Chen, the Xuzhou thief army is playing with us, and I am afraid that there will be an ambush in front, so we can't chase it!" ”

"Shut up!" Chen whipped up with a horsewhip, and shouted with red eyes: "If there is an ambush, you have to chase it, the young general can't save it, I have to die, and you have to die too!" ”

"The dog said, kindness is not rewarded." Du Bo, surnamed Wei, who received a horsewhip on his face, was furious, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, and he could only helplessly pursue with the brigade, and the Xuzhou cavalry in front of him also put on a posture of playing to death this group of Jingzhou infantry, and fled unhurriedly and always kept a distance from the Jingzhou team, and deliberately slowed down many times to let the Jingzhou army see the hope of catching up, attracting the Jingzhou army to pursue with all their might, but whenever the Jingzhou team made a desperate charge, the Xuzhou cavalry that deliberately slowed down suddenly increased its whip. easily pulled the distance away, and the generals of Jingzhou such as Chen were so angry that they beat their chests, but they were all helpless.

Fortunately, the terrain in this area is quite open, and the narrow area of the road that can be ambushed is almost non-existent, although Du Bo surnamed Wei knows that he can't catch up, he doesn't have to worry about being ambushed by the enemy, but after chasing out for ten miles, although the physical strength of the soldiers in Jingzhou can still support it, the team has been seriously deformed, and it is not in formation at all, and it is also at this time that a loud laughing voice suddenly sounded in the Xuzhou rookie cavalry in front, "The rookies in Jingzhou, have you had enough?" We're going to come for real, be careful! Brethren, Manguo! Kill! ”

"Kill!" In the sound of neat shouts, something happened that made Du Bo surnamed Wei stunned, the group of Xuzhou rookie cavalry turned around and pulled their bows and arrows in the high-speed movement of the war horses, and threw a feather arrow at the Jingzhou team, which had never seen this kind of strange cavalry tactics, and the Jingzhou team was caught off guard one by one, and there were countless arrows in an instant, one after another screaming and falling down, either dead or injured.

Seeing this scene, don't say that Chen just waited for the Jingzhou generals to open their mouths one by one, and the Du Bo surnamed Wei, who was arrogant to the bone, was also stunned, and muttered in disbelief: "How is it possible? Turning around and firing arrows while galloping on a war horse? How did they manage such a difficult move? Who are these enemies in front of me?! ”

The rain of arrows continued, and the Xuzhou rookie cavalry seemed to be planning to use bows and arrows to kill the Jingzhou team, and they only shot with bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows shot out were quite accurate, almost five or six arrows could hit a Jingzhou soldier, and in a short period of time, hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers were killed and injured under the bow and arrow. Seeing such a situation, even General Chen Qiang, who was shouldering the heavy responsibility of caring for General Huang Shao, panicked and subconsciously shouted: "Mingjin! Mingjin! Stop the pursuit! Don't chase anymore, don't chase anymore! ”

In fact, there is no need for General Chen to give an order, most of the Jingzhou soldiers have slowed down or stopped their pace quite smartly, but what makes these smart Jingzhou soldiers scattered is that they just stopped the pursuit here, and the Xuzhou rookie cavalry immediately turned around and rushed over, not to mention the overwhelming rain of arrows, so that more Jingzhou soldiers screamed and fell in a pool of blood, and the already chaotic team was even more chaotic, countless Jingzhou soldiers screamed and ran in all directions, including many grassroots generals.

The pursuit battle began again, but this time the pursuit and the object of the pursuit fell, and became the invincible westward escape in the mouth of General Huang Shao, the Xuzhou cavalry who seemed to be a rookie pursued in the rear, and also relied on the strong maneuver speed to surround the Jingzhou team in a semicircle, while calmly keeping a distance and patiently pursuing, while laughing wildly and shooting Jingzhou soldiers with bows and arrows in their hands, the poor Jingzhou soldiers learned this hooligan tactic thousands of years in advance, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so they could only run westward vigorously, crying and shouting and desperately rushing forward, trampling on each other, pushing each other, the dead and the injured are innumerable, panicked like a flock of ducks that have blown up their nests.

It was also at this point that the Dubo surnamed Wei in the Jingzhou army finally woke up, and secretly said in his heart: "Damn! Lao Tzu is really stupid, this Xuzhou thief army is so powerful, what do you need to ambush us with? Seducing us into full pursuit, it is just to increase our escape distance, so that we will not be able to escape back to the camp so easily! The thieves killed, who are these thieves?! ”

Because riding and archery have been practiced countless times in several years of actual combat, the battle between the Junzi Army and the Jingzhou Army was so easy that it was almost more than the battle with Zhenrong that year, an average of five or six arrows can make an enemy lose its combat effectiveness, and the formation is maintained more reasonably, always surrounding the enemy in a semicircle to pursue, increasing the enemy's arrow surface, and also increasing the bow and arrow hit rate of the self-army, so that the poor Jingzhou team suffered, and was chased by the Junzi Army for a short distance of five or six miles. General Chen Zhi, who led this Jingzhou army, had only three or four hundred people left, and the rest were either shot dead by the Junzi army, shot wounded and left behind, or broke up on their own while fleeing, and fled into the woods or grass, and the speed of its collapse was definitely the highest record in the history of the Jingzhou army.

Discovering this situation, Deputy Director Tao, who originally planned to charge with heavy cavalry, suddenly changed his mind, and lazily ordered to Tao Ji and Li Ming and other gentlemen next to him, and commanded with great arrogance: "The light cavalry is surrounded, continue to shoot with bows and arrows, and use bows and arrows to solve all the remaining enemies, and it is a sin to deal with this group of water monkeys in the field and let the soldiers of the Junzi Army die a single soldier." ”

"No!" Tao Ji and Li Ming and other generals of the Gentleman's Army agreed even more arrogantly, waving a pennant to issue a banner, and the three teams of Gentlemen's Army light cavalry immediately attacked left and right, relying on the world's most terrifying maneuver speed to easily outflank them, and soon joined forces with the Gentleman's Army Heavy Cavalry to surround the last three or four hundred people around Chen Zhuo, keeping a distance and constantly covering with a rain of arrows, besieging the enemy with a mobile encirclement, so that Chen Zhi no matter how he led the army to rush left and right, he could never rush to the near place of the soldiers of the Gentleman's Army. I couldn't avoid the rain of arrows from the Junzi Army when I ran there, and there were fewer and fewer Jingzhou soldiers around me.

At the critical moment, the Dubo surnamed Wei in the Jingzhou army came to Chen Zhuo's side again, pointed to a small stone mountain not far to the north, and shouted: "General, go up the mountain to the north, the enemy is unwilling to fight us in close quarters, and we still have hope if we rush up the mountain!" ”

"yes, how did I forget that?" Dewei surnamed Du Bo reminded, Chen finally remembered that there was still a way to go up the mountain to dodge, and hurriedly led the remnants of the team to the north to assault, the captain of the light cavalry of the Gentleman's Army in the north Gao Chong couldn't turn his head for a while, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, he chose to retreat north and continue to keep his distance, until he retreated to the small stone mountain when Gao Pet woke up, but it was too late, the remnants of Jingzhou had rushed up regardless of casualties, and there were more than 40 people who rushed to kill the most resolutely, In a blink of an eye, he rushed to a place less than twenty steps away from the high pet team of the Junzi Army, forcing the soldiers of the Junzi Army to scatter left and right to make way for the road, Chen took the opportunity to cheer and rushed up the stone mountain, and rushed to the top of the mountain that could not be covered by the horse bow in one breath.

"It's none of your business." With the victory in hand, Tao Ying was naturally too lazy to deal with an old man like Gao Chong, and comforted: "It's because I gave the order to avoid unnecessary casualties, otherwise, the Jingzhou thief army may not be able to break through your resistance, go back and continue to lead the troops, wait for my order." ”

Gao Chong thanked and retreated, and Tao Ying turned to Tao Ji next to him and asked, "Where are the infantry led by Xu Chu and Cao?" How much time do you have left to get here? ”

Tao Ji first inquired about the situation with the heralds, pinched his fingers and calculated for a moment, and replied: "There should be more than ten miles to the distance, counting the time, it can be reached in about an hour, do you want to send someone to urge them, let them send an elite infantry to go first, to reinforce our army to attack the mountain?" ”

"Pie." Tao Ying nodded and said: "There are still some troops in the enemy's camp, we have to prevent them from coming to the rescue with all their might, there are only about three hundred remnants of the enemy left, if you let them run away again, it will hurt morale." ”

Tao Ji sang a promise, and when he just sent out the heralds, General Huang, who was always covered with a sack next to him, heard this answer, and suddenly screamed like a pig, "General Tao! General Tao! I give up! I give up! I am willing to make meritorious contributions, as long as you don't kill me, I can recruit the remnants of the mountain for you, the soldiers I brought out this time are not my father's Jiangxia team, or the soldiers I brought out during the Nanyang experience, all obey my orders, as long as you don't kill me, I promise to recruit all the remaining remnants for you. ”

"My ears are so good that I almost forgot about you. Well, for your cleverness, give you a chance to make meritorious atonements. Tao Ying smiled, and then to Li Ming next to him, Li Ming understood, and immediately led ten soldiers to dismount, carried Major General Huang Shot off the horse, and carried it until the front of the team to leave the Junzi Army, and then took off the sack on General Huang's head - this is not intended to humiliate General Huang, mainly to avoid General Huang Shao from discovering the secret stirrup of the Junzi Army, Lu Wenhou also had a similar encounter back then, and finally Li Ming personally used a knife on General Huang's neck, which escorted General Huang Shao to the foot of the stone mountain.

Probably because the saber was on his neck, Major General Huang was still trustworthy, and when he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he didn't need to be urged by Li Ming and other gentlemen and soldiers, so he took the initiative to pull up the broken gong and shouted, asking his deputy Chen to come out and answer. As a confidant of Huang Zu's father, poor General Chen naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he could only hurry out of the crowd, but the content of General Huang's shouting made General Chen Zhuo cry and laugh to the extreme, "General Chen, I now order you in the honor of the deputy commander of the whole army, immediately let everyone on the mountain put down their weapons and surrender to General Tao Ji in Xuzhou!" This is an order, and it must not be disobeyed, otherwise military law will be engaged! ”

"Engaged in military justice? Major General, you are now a prisoner, how can you still engage in the last general's law? Poor General Chen muttered in his heart, and replied helplessly loudly: "Young General, I'm really sorry, this order will not be obeyed by the general, the general will be the general of Jingzhou, it is the duty of the general to lead the whole army to kill the enemy for the lord, but it is the shame of the general to lay down his arms and surrender to the enemy, so the general cannot obey the order!" ”

"I order you to surrender with your army!" Major General Huang was anxious, and just yelled at Chen, "Ningshi, don't forget, if it wasn't for my father who recommended you and fully sponsored you in front of the lord, would you be where you are today?" Now I command you to surrender, for my sake! I promised General Tao Ji that as long as you can obey my orders and lead the people to surrender, General Tao Ji will not kill me, and will treat me with courtesy. ”

"Major General, the last general can't surrender just because of you!" Chen replied profusely: "The last general must go to your father to explain the situation, and ask your father to try to rescue you, otherwise, you and I will be taken prisoner, and who will speak for us from General Huang?" ”

"My father's place, naturally there are other soldiers who will report the news, I must live now!" Major General Huang was also anxious, and roared angrily: "Chen Ji, do you listen to my orders? If you don't listen, if you have my good in the future, you won't be as good as yours! ”

"Oh my God, how could General Huang Zu be a hero and give birth to such a son?"

Poor General Chen was crying bitterly, and the soldiers of the Gentleman's Army who held General Huang Shao couldn't help laughing, and there was simply laughter in the Gentleman's Army Brigade behind. At this time, a Jingzhou army suddenly flew out of the crowd on the mountain, and rushed towards our young general Huang, and then more than 30 Jingzhou soldiers also rushed down, looking like they wanted to take advantage of the slack of the gentleman's army to snatch back General Huang, the incident happened suddenly, the gentleman's army and Tao Ying were all taken aback, and when they were about to rush up to stop it, our young general Huang screamed like a pig, "Wei Yan!" You dog thief! Do you want to announce a personal vendetta? Ningshi, hurry up and hold him, hurry up and stop Wei Yan, this puppet! Dog thief! ”

Shouting and shouting, our Major General Huang didn't wait for Li Ming and these gentlemen soldiers to drag, he actually turned around and ran into the gentleman's army brigade, so fast that even Li Ming and other gentlemen's soldiers almost couldn't catch up, and the gentleman's army team also took the opportunity to charge up, and a random arrow shot the Jingzhou soldiers who tried to go down the mountain to save people. Seeing this, Wei Yan, who was raiding to save people, almost didn't vomit blood, and roared loudly: "Young General, are you crazy? The last will come to your rescue! ”

"Save your mother's head!" Major General Huang turned around and scolded again, "Don't think that Major General Ben doesn't know, the last time Ning Shisheng's order to be a general was refuted by Major General Ben, you have always held a grudge against Major General Ben, and now that you see that Major General Ben was accidentally captured, you will take the opportunity to announce your personal vendetta and want Major General Ben's life!" ”

Wei Yan's red face turned iron blue, and the iron knife in his hand slashed hard at the stone next to him, and the knife fell and broke into a loud sound, and then Wei Yan roared angrily: "That's good! I am a communiqué personal vendetta! Now I won't declare my personal vendetta, you will continue to be a prisoner, continue to embarrass Huang Zupuff, and disgrace your Jingzhou Huang family! ”

Roaring, Wei Yan turned around and went up the mountain again, and the thirty or so Jingzhou soldiers under Wei Yan's command were also full of anger, and they followed Wei Yan up the mountain together. Our Major General Huang roared frantically at the bottom of the mountain, "What did you just say? Huang Zupiff? How dare you scold my father? Chen, immediately take down this puppet of Wei Yan who insulted my father, and push him out of the gate to behead! ”

General Chen didn't move, but the oily-haired and powdery General Tao Ji came to General Huang's side and asked curiously: "Major General, is this Wei Yan a long character?" Jingzhou Yiyang people? ”

"Yes." Major General Huang first nodded, then shook his head, and asked suspiciously: "General Tao Ji, do you know this Wei Yanpifu?" ”

General Tao Ji didn't answer, and after a little calculation, he shouted at the top of the mountain, "General Chen, how about we make a deal?" You hand over Wei Yan to me, and I will immediately return your family's Major General Huang Shot to you, and immediately lift the siege and let you leave. ”

"Really?!" General Huang Shao and General Chen shouted in surprise at the same time, and then General Huang Shao couldn't help but add, "Really? General Taukey, you're not kidding? ”

"Trade me for a major general?" The most surprised was of course Wei Yan himself, who shouted with surprise on his face and asked, "Tao Ji Pifu, what the hell are you doing?" ”

"It's not a ghost, it's a thirst for talent." Oily Flour shook his head, and said loudly without concealment: "General Wei Yan, just now you seized the only opportunity for our army to be a little lax and go down the mountain to assault, and the ability to seize the opportunity is rare in the world!" Another knife to smash the bluestone, the high level of martial arts, in the whole world is also a finger to count! is such a virtuous person, but he only succumbs to Dubo in the Jingzhou army, and he is so overkill, it is simply a tyrannical thing! Therefore, as long as you, General Wei Yan, are willing to come over, I will release this Young General Huang immediately, and I will definitely reuse it for you! ”

Wei Yan's arrogant and arrogant surname believes that there is no need to be wordy here, and there are more than fifty soldiers who are full of revenge but are subordinate to Dubo in the Jingzhou army, and they have already made the arrogant Wei Yanwo extremely angry, and now he is so praised in public by this oily head and noodles, and it is inevitable that he will be secretly moved by the secret pride, but because of his bad face, he took the initiative to agree. Major General Huang, who was next to the oily noodles, was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Wei Yan, did you hear it?" This General Tao Ji is the cousin of Tao Yingjun in Xuzhou, he appreciates you so much, you don't have a bright future when you arrive in Xuzhou? What are you doing all the time? Why don't you hurry down the mountain and surrender and change me back? The Yiyang army is Bo Weiyan, now I order you to go down the mountain and surrender! ”

"Wrong!" The oily head and the noodles corrected loudly, and shouted loudly to Wei Yan: "General Wenchang, let me introduce myself, I didn't report my real name and real identity just now, my name is Tao Ji, my name is Tao Ying, and I am currently the position of Xuzhou Thorn History!" ”

"You're the Tao Envoy?" Wei Yan blurted out and exclaimed, and General Huang and Chen Yu and the others were also stunned.

"Exactly!" Tao Ying replied loudly, and said loudly: "General Wei Yan, come here, there is no Bole in the Jingzhou army, I have wronged you as a thousand-mile horse, if you are willing to surrender to me, I will not only reuse you, but also hand over the Danyang soldiers, one of my absolute descendants, to you!" ”

Wei Yan was even more moved, lowered his head and peeked at Chen Zuo's eyes with the corner of his eye, but Chen Zuo hesitated, and asked loudly for a long time: "Tao Yuanjun, are you really joking?" If I hand over Wei Yan to you, will you really give me back the major general? ”

"What Xuzhou Tao Envoy Jun said, when will he lose his trust in others?!" Tao Ying laughed and asked, and said even more arrogantly: "If you are not afraid of this young general Huang's sadness, I will return him to you General Chen Cheng, but I lost a duck, but you handed over General Wei Yan to me, but I got a phoenix!" ”

Major General Huang's face was a little ugly, but for the sake of his own life, he still honestly closed his mouth, but in his heart he hated Deputy Director Tao and Wei Yan to the bone marrow. And after Chen hesitated on the mountain for a long time, he finally turned to Wei Yan and said: "Wen Chang, I won't tell you, when I was in Nanyang, I not only planned to promote you to a general, but also suggested to General Deng Long to promote you to Qu Chang, but unfortunately because of your temper and background, you were refuted, and the Jingzhou army is indeed not suitable for you." Go to Xuzhou, Tao Yuanjun is a person who loves talents, I have heard of this, his team does not pay attention to background, only pays attention to ability, is a good place for you to show your strength. ”

Wei Yan also hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to bow to Chen, and then threw down his weapon and strode down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, Deputy Director Tao had already taken off the bright silver armor on his body, and when Wei Yan came down the mountain, he would put it on Wei Yan with his own hands. There was almost silence in the two armies, only our Major General Huang reminded in a low voice: "Tao Envoy Jun, Wei Yan listened to my order to go down the mountain and surrender, you should keep your promise and let me go, right?" ”
