At this time, the main force of the Jin army, which had been chasing all the way, had already arrived at Qianguling, and Han Qian hurriedly went to meet the two generals, Wang Yunzhi and Mao Bao.

"General Wang, General Mao." Han Qian clasped his fists and saluted the two.

"General Han." The two of them clasped their fists together and saluted back.

When the three of them met, they inevitably exchanged pleasantries, Wang Yunzhi and Mao Bao vigorously praised Han Qian for his foresight, set up an ambush on this path, and severely damaged the Peach Leopard Army.

Chen Xiong, the deputy general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, praised the Zhou Legion and the Jingzhou Legion for how brave and good they fought in the process of besieging Taobao.

"Report, general, Captain Hua'an of the Left Brigade, capture the enemy's main general Tao Leopard alive." Just as several generals were complimenting each other, a small soldier ran over to report the good news to Han Qian.

"I really captured the peach leopard alive." Han Qian was overjoyed and asked hurriedly.

The little soldier clenched his fists and affirmed: "General Hui, the enemy general has a golden helmet and golden armor, and he calls himself a peach leopard, he shouldn't be fake." ”

"Peach Leopard is a famous general of Zhao State, and General Han has made a great contribution this time." Wang Yunzhi smiled and congratulated.

"Hahaha! Congratulations to General Han for capturing the peach leopard. Mao Bao laughed roughly.

Being able to capture the peach leopard in one fell swoop, Han Qian's heart was even more ecstatic, he paused, and ordered loudly: "Quick, press the enemy peach leopard up." ”

"Yes, General." The creep clenched his fists and turned to leave.

"Capturing the peach leopard alive is really happy!"

"The Northern Expeditionary Army really deserves its name, and it has the majesty of General Zu's Northern Expedition."

"It's General Han Qian's ability to govern the army, so I'll ask General Han for advice."

Suddenly, the generals of the Jing and Yang Erzhou Legions vigorously praised Han Qian and the officers and soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the compliments made the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army a little proud.

After a while, Hua An and his soldiers walked to Han Qian's side with the 'Peach Leopard'.

"Master, the enemy general Peach Leopard has been captured alive by me." Hua An pointed to the dying enemy captain and said loudly.

"Look, it's really a peach leopard." The generals present immediately exclaimed.

Although the generals do not necessarily know the peach leopard, but the dazzling golden helmet and gold armor is still very conspicuous, this armor is the symbol of the peach leopard, on the battlefield, they have seen many times in the enemy group of gold helmets and gold armor of the enemy general commanding the battle.

Han Qian saw that the enemy general in front of him was indeed a golden helmet and golden armor, so he was naturally very excited, so he walked towards the 'Peach Leopard'.

At this time, it was already the middle of the night, although there were torches illuminating, but the light was still insufficient, and the enemy's own lieutenant was covered with blood, and he lowered his head without saying a word, and it was indeed difficult to make out when the distance was not very close.

But when Han Qian held the torch and got closer, he suddenly noticed something unusual, the beard of the 'Peach Leopard' in front of him was actually black.

Han Qian remembered that ten years ago, the peach leopard's beard had turned white, how could he still rejuvenate himself, he had doubts in his heart, and if he looked closely, his appearance was completely different.

The enemy general in front of him was only about thirty years old, while Peach Leopard was at least forty or fifty years old.

"Whoever the enemy will be, recruit from the truth." Han Qian asked loudly.

The enemy pro-soldier captain slowly raised his head, glared at Han Qian, and shouted loudly: "The pro-soldier lieutenant under General Tao is also, you want to catch my general, wishful thinking, hahaha!" ”

Suddenly, everyone present was stunned and looked at each other one by one.

"Why, isn't it the peach leopard that was captured?" Mao Bao stepped forward with Wang Yunzhi with suspicion.

"It's really not a peach leopard." Wang Yunzhi, who stepped forward, glanced at it and whispered to Mao Bao.

After a long time, the enemy general who caught it was actually a fake, and everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed, among them, the most disappointed was of course Hua'an, I thought I had caught the enemy's main general, but I didn't expect it to be a little Luo.

"Master, it's all my fault that I didn't notice it for a while, and let the real peach leopard escape." Hua An hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

Han Qian waved his hand and said: "The peach leopard can escape a catastrophe, maybe his life should not be extinguished, but it is also a credit to let the peach leopard lose his armor and flee in the wilderness." ”

Seeing Han Qian say this, Hua An'an was at ease.

"General Han, the peach leopard must have fled to Dangtu City, the scouts of the headquarters reported that there are 20,000 enemy troops in Dangtu City, it is better for our three-way army to rest for a while, and then immediately send troops to Dangtu to drive the enemy back to the north of Huaishui." Mao Bao said loudly.

"Well, yes, that's what Ben meant." Wang Yunzhi followed.

Han Qian nodded, and said with a straight face: "The soldiers are fast, and after the army rests for an hour, the art of war overnight should be painted." ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Mao Bao and Wang Yunzhi spoke in unison, and after speaking, they went to rectify the team.

#####

On the path leading to Dangtu City, Peach Leopard and the generals under his command ran wildly all the way, gradually getting farther and farther away from Qianguling, and seeing that there was no Jin army chasing behind them, all the generals were relieved.

"General, the Jin army is not chasing, we are safe." A general said with relief.

Peach Leopard nervously glanced behind him, and ordered loudly: "Stop advancing, the army will rest in place." ”

Suddenly, the exhausted generals and soldiers who had already run stopped and lay flat in the grass on both sides, panting heavily.

Peach Leopard dismounted and sat on a stone on the side of the road, looked at the few soldiers under his command, and sighed secretly.

"Wu'er, you check how many men and horses are still in our army." At this time, there were not many soldiers left under his command, and in order to let the generals rest for a while, Taobao ordered his son to count the soldiers.

"Yes, Dad." Momotake reluctantly stood up, walked around the soldiers, and roughly counted them.

"Dad, our army has less than a thousand troops, only more than 800 soldiers." Momotake said, hanging his head in frustration.

"What, there are only more than 800 soldiers." Peach Leopard's mouth opened wide in surprise, and the generals beside him looked at each other.

"General, our army has suffered such heavy losses, how can I explain to the king when I go back!" A general's face was full of sorrow.

Shi Hu's brutality is well known, this time, the army was defeated so miserably, Shi Hu will definitely not give up, but he is afraid that even their families will be implicated.

Hearing this, Peach Leopard sighed secretly, looked up at the sky, and said: "The defeat of our army in this battle is so miserable, it is all the fault of the general, and it has nothing to do with the generals. ”

"General, why is this so bothering? The last general is willing to bear it with the general. The generals were greatly moved, and they all expressed their desire to share weal and woe.

Tao Wu saw that Tao Leopard and the generals were in a hurry to admit their guilt, and he was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Dad, the reason why our army was defeated was because of the defeat and retreat of the armies on the left and right wings, and the sneak attack on the rear of our army by the Jingzhou Army and the Yangzhou Army of the Jin State. The second is because Zhang Ju failed to stick to the Yin Tomb and did not save him when he saw death. ”

"Yes! General, the fiasco in this battle is not all our fault, and it should not be all borne by us. When the subordinate generals of the peach leopard heard this, they immediately expressed their position.

Hearing this, the peach leopard was silent, but judging from his expression, he expressed his approval.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his opinion, Tao Wu continued: "Our army has been fighting bloodily for more than a month, annihilating no more than 10,000 Jin troops, and 20,000 civilians, and it is not an exaggeration to say that 50,000 enemies were killed in front of the king. ”

"That's right, if we kill 50,000 enemies, and our army's losses are equal to those of the Jin army, the king will definitely forgive us." A ministry general said.

Hearing this, Peach Leopard nodded in approval.

After resting for half an hour, Taobao and his party of more than 800 people rushed to Dangtu City by the moonlight.
