Gongsun Chan led the remnants of the defeated army all the way east, and looking at the dejected appearance of his soldiers, his heart was extremely depressed.

Gongsun Chan didn't expect that he would confidently lead the 7,000 vanguard army to fight like this.

Just as the dawn was approaching, he actually encountered reinforcements from Nanlin Xiaoer.

Gongsun Chan thought indignantly that he had been disabled by that incompetent person, and this feeling of depression made Gongsun Chan's heart almost die.

If it is said that Gongsun Chan is incompetent, or the team is not as good as the team of Nanlin, this Gongsun Chan will admit it.

However, both in terms of the ability to command the battle and the overall strength of the team, Gongsun Zhan's troops were far stronger than the teams in Nanlin.

It's just that the timing is wrong, his troops are tired for a long time, and Nanlin occupies the right time, place and people, and finally makes him fall short.

What made him even more depressed after Gongsun Zhan's defeat and retreat was that the battalion was actually raided by Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's soldiers who stayed in the direction of Xiangping, and nearly 3,000 infantry actually only found one layer, and the whereabouts of the rest of the soldiers were unknown.

Along the way, Gongsun Chan kept sending people to search around, but the results were minimal, and most of the soldiers should have been left elsewhere.

Gongsun Chan can always have a sense of powerlessness, when people are sleepy and lack of food, he can only hope that Gongsun Xu can live up to expectations and be able to stick to Xingcheng, otherwise, he will be a defeat this time, and he will have no face to face his father and fellow villagers.

Gongsun Chan did not think of launching a counterattack and crushing the pursuers who followed them like a shadow, but after the new defeat, the morale of the soldiers was low, and neither the war horses nor the cavalry got a good rest.

If they get food and grass after returning to the camp, if the pursuers behind them don't always wait for work, he really has the idea of fighting.

However, the current situation forced him to make the decision to retreat, and now no soldier had the heart to go hungry to entangle with those pursuers.

The most important thing is that Gongsun Chan doesn't know the situation on the Xingcheng side now, once the back road is blocked by the enemy, he must have the strength to break through the enemy's blockade, if he doesn't leave behind, all his troops will even be left in Liaodong forever.

Zhang Chun's own family, Zhang Ye and Qiu Liju's nephew Chake, had a red face, and excitedly commanded his soldiers to march quickly.

After the two of them broke the camp left by Gongsun Zhan, they led 800 cavalry and 2,000 infantry to hold Gongsun Zhan's team, wanting to wipe out Gongsun Zhan's team.

The two of them had already received the news of the promotion earlier, and knew that the promotion was on its way, as long as they could keep an eye on Gongsun Zhan's team, and when the two thousand iron horsemen arrived, they definitely had a hope of annihilating Gongsun Zhan's entire army.

Zhang Ye received the news that his uncle Zhang Ping had died in battle, and he was even more thoughtful to meet Gongsun Chan for a while to see what kind of ability Gongsun Chan had to defeat the coalition formed by Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, especially Zhang Ye and Chak sneak attacked Gongsun Zhan's camp, directly crippled the troops left in Gongsun Zhan's camp, and fueled their ambition to meet Gongsun Chan for a while.

If Gongsun Chan had been winning battles, Zhang Ye would not have such a big idea, but now that Gongsun Chan had been crippled after the reinforcements appeared in Nanlin, and the old nest had been wiped out by him and Chak, the toothless tiger was definitely not to be feared.

Zhang Ye believes that the time has come for him to make meritorious contributions, if he can really defeat and capture Gongsun Zhan, it is very likely that Zhang Chun will be the city lord of a small city at that time.

Gongsun Chan has always been a thorn in the eye of Chak, who has lived outside the fortress for a long time.

In Chak's heart, if it weren't for this damn Gongsun Zhan, they would definitely succeed in going south to fight the grass valley and invade Youzhou, and the people of the Wuhuan tribe would have harvested countless more food and wealth than normal.

Gongsun Chan is a stumbling block in their eyes, every time the grass valley invades Youzhou, it is destroyed by this damn Gongsun Zhan, this time uncle Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun rebelled, if it weren't for Gongsun Chan, a damn old man, they would have occupied more than half of Youzhou a long time ago.

Chuck wants to be the hero of Wuhuan, and he wants to make a name for himself.

The Wuhuan people worship heroes the most, as long as he can kill Gongsun Zhan, then, he Chak will be a hero among the Wuhuan tribe.

In Chuck's heart, his uncle Qiu Liju was already old, and now it should be the world of these young people.

It is precisely because Zhang Ye and Chack have the same idea that there is a situation where two people are chasing Gongsun Zhan more than once.

The most important thing is that more than 2,000 Wuhuan iron horsemen have been outflanked behind Gongsun Zhan, even if Gongsun Chan has three heads and six arms, he can't resist the two of them.

As long as Gongsun Zhan's team encounters the team that promotes the general, then Gongsun Chan will definitely be defeated.

Just as Zhang Ye and Chak were calculating the distance between them and Gongsun Chan and Xingcheng, a scout galloped to their side from a distance.

The scout jumped off his horse, got down on one knee, and said loudly to the two men, "Report to the two lords, there is the Xingcheng River ahead, Gongsun Chan and his troops have passed quickly, and the only bridge has been destroyed.

Our scouts have found a suitable place to cross the river, and sent more than a dozen scouts to the other side of the river to reconnoiter the movement of Gongsun Zhan's troops. ”

Zhang Ye and Chak glanced at each other, their eyes full of surprise.

In their hearts, Gongsun Chan should be regarded as a famous general, and in such a situation, the most important thing Gongsun Chan should do is to arrange ambushes on the other side of the river and launch the most fatal blow to them.

The two of them had already studied the strategy of dealing with Gongsun Chan's ambush on the bank of the Xingcheng River, but now Gongsun Chan had no intention of starting a death battle with them on the bank of the Xingcheng River, so they hit the air with an old fist, making them feel at a loss.

Zhang Ye pinched his brows, his eyes rolled a few times, and then he said loudly to the scout in front of him: "Go and investigate again, if you go three miles away on the other side of the Xingcheng River, you must determine whether Gongsun Chan has ambushes on the other side of the river." ”

Zhang Ye's face was slightly gloomy, and he was still skeptical of the statement of the scout who came to report.

According to the normal situation, Gongsun Zhan's troops were bitten so tightly by them, as long as Gongsun Chan was not stupid, then he would definitely send people to the Xingcheng River to arrange ambushes and snipe at them when they were halfway crossing.

As long as there are some brains, a general will do this. However, how could this general, who was praised by Zhang Chun and Master Qiu Liju, give up such a good opportunity?! ~！！

Not only Zhang Ye couldn't figure it out, but even Chuck couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be ......" After Zhang Ye and Chack said three words in unison, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the whip in their hands struck the war horse under the crotch heavily.
