The first battle annihilated 20,000 elite cavalry of Beirong, and burned the grain and grass for more than 200,000 troops of Beirong for more than a month.

And Xu Dachun, Zuo Zongquan, Yang Zhixing and others who participated in this battle were even more excited.

Because they knew what this battle meant, and it meant that they had driven Modahan to a dead end, and had driven Modahan into the trap they had designed for him a long time ago.

However, it was not long before the scouts came the astonished news that a Beijon cavalry had caught up with their army, which was less than forty miles away.

Since last night's battle annihilated 20,000 Beirong elite horsemen, and set fire to Mo Dahan's grain and grass, Ji Qingchen, who got Mo Dahan's army thirty miles away from him, immediately led the army to leave Mo Dahan's lair, and ran for more than 100 miles in one night before setting up camp here to let the army rest.

But he didn't expect the enemy to discover his whereabouts so quickly, which surprised Ji Qingchen and Bai Xiangcheng very much.

"How many people are there?" Ji Qingchen asked.

"There were about 60,000 people." The knight replied.

"Mo Dahan dispatched more than 60,000 elite horsemen, which is one-third of his total strength!" Bai Xiangcheng sighed, "It seems that Mo Dahan is really angry, and he wants to seek revenge on us!" ”

"It's not just more than 60,000 people." Ji Qingchen shook his head and said, "With this king's understanding of Mo Dahan, if he really wants to seek revenge on us, he will go all out, and he will definitely not send only 60,000 cavalry, because the Beirong people will judge by the horse's hoof prints we left on the scene how many men and horses we have now." Since Modahan knew about our troops, he would not have sent 60,000 cavalry to take the risk. ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" Bai Xiangcheng asked.

"This may be just the first group of cavalry in Beirong, there may be tens of thousands of cavalry behind them, the purpose is to confuse us, let us think that there are only 60,000 chasing soldiers and fight with them, and then the Beirong army behind these 60,000 cavalry will give us a fatal blow in the back." Ji Qingchen analyzed.

"His Royal Highness's judgment is not unreasonable, so to speak, we can't join General Cheng for the time being, otherwise it will be easy to expose the specific location of our army, so we can only get rid of them first." Bai Xiangcheng said.

"Well, that's all!" Ji Qingchen also nodded slightly, "Order the army to withdraw from camp immediately." ”

"No!" Bai Xiangcheng received the order and strode out of the big tent.

The 40,000 army immediately got on their horses when they heard Ji Qingchen's order, and did not take the established route to meet Cheng Qianfan's army, but moved forward in the opposite direction and galloped away.

However, in the future, the army was acute for nearly three hours, but it still did not get rid of the Beirong cavalry that was chasing after him, and the distance between the Beirong cavalry and Ji Qingchen's army was still maintained at about forty miles.

This made Ji Qingchen a little uneasy!

Because the devil cavalry and the Xiao cavalry camp and the white cavalry camp around him are all one person and two horses, and since the night attack on Mo Dahan's lair, he has captured a number of war horses, plus the war horses of Beijung's elite horses harvested on the battlefield, which is enough for 20,000 black eagles to ride one person and two horses. This time, in order to get rid of the chasing army behind him, he ordered the army to change his war horses twice in three hours, and it can be said that the marching speed is much faster than the chasing soldiers behind him by more than half. He didn't think that Modahan was rich enough to equip the 60,000-strong army that pursued him with the standard of one man and two horses.

Therefore, in the gap when the army stopped marching and resting, Ji Qingchen and Bai Xiangcheng discussed, "Do you feel very strange, no matter how we want to get rid of them, but this cavalry can keep up with our pace and follow us closely?" ”

"Am I wondering too?" Bai Xiangcheng was puzzled, "With the foot strength and speed of our one-man and two-horse war horses, we shouldn't be caught up by them!" ”

"If we continue to follow them in this way, I am afraid it will be against us, because they seem to know the route of our march, and if it takes a long time, our 40,000 men will most likely be besieged by Modahan's army of more than 100,000." Ji Qingchen analyzed, "We have to find a way now. ”

Bai Xiangcheng stopped talking, because he understood the meaning of Ji Qingchen's words.

After a long time, he spoke, "Your Highness, let's try again, if we can't get rid of their pursuit this time, we will find a way." ”

"Okay, let's try again!" Ji Qingchen said.

Immediately 40,000 troops went on the road, and it was a rapid march all the way, and they galloped all night in Yunzhou, and in the early morning, Ji Qingchen ordered the army to rest by a stream. However, when the army had rested for less than two hours, the scouts reported to Ji Qingchen that they had found the Beirong cavalry forty miles behind the army, and the number was about 60,000.

This time, Ji Qingchen couldn't sit still! His brow furrowed, and he remained silent. Bai Xiangcheng also felt the seriousness of the situation, because if he continued to let the Beirong cavalry pursue like this, his 40,000 army would be exhausted.

"Brother Xiang Cheng, do you know why Beirong will chase after us?" Ji Qingchen, who was silent for a moment, asked Bai Xiangcheng.

"For we slew twenty thousand of their horsemen in one night, and burned their grain and grass." Bai Xiangcheng replied.

"That's not right." Ji Qingchen smiled, "Because they want to kill this king." ”

"Your Highness—" Bai Xiangcheng was about to speak, but was stopped by Ji Qingchen, "This king seems to have guessed who is chasing us, it is Mo Dahan's eldest daughter Ahsan, and Aobai. There were 50,000 troops pursuing us, including 10,000 guards from Ahsan, and 40,000 with yellow flags. ”

"Your Highness is saying that it was not Mo Dahan himself who pursued us this time, but his eldest daughter and his subordinates who made a decision privately?" Bai Xiangcheng asked in surprise.

Whether it is in Dayan or Beirong, it is a capital crime to transfer troops without going through the main general! Bai Xiangcheng thinks these two people are too crazy!

"Your Highness, if this is the case, we don't have to run anymore, because with 20,000 devil riders and 20,000 black eagle riders, we can teach these 50,000 Beirong elite riders a lesson." Bai Xiangcheng said with high fighting spirit.

"I'm afraid it's too late to do that. Hey, this time it may be that the king made a mistake in judgment, so he lost a chance to completely annihilate the cavalry of Modahan's personal guards! Ji Qingchen shook his head and sighed, "If our scouts had fought them with the Devil Rider and the Black Eagle Rider when they discovered this pursuer last night, they might have gone deep alone, because Mo Dahan didn't know that his daughter and his men would lead the army to hunt us down without passing him." But now that a day and a night have passed, at this time, Mo Dahan must have known about his daughter and Aobai's stupid actions, and saw the omission in this march, maybe at this time a large army has been sent to follow them, if we want to fight with Ahsan and Ao Bai now, we may be left behind by Mo Dahan's army! ”

Bai Xiangcheng stopped talking, because Ji Qingchen's analysis was very correct.

"Brother Xiang Cheng, do you remember the plan we made against Mo Dahan?" Ji Qingchen asked.

"Remember, consume Mo Dahan's strength at all costs, force him to Caozhou City, and then fight him to the death." Bai Xiangcheng said.

"Yes." Ji Qingchen said, "Only in this way can we have a chance to win, and we can kill the Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop, trapping Meng Buge, Hakesu and Haoge in the pass." ”

"But now we don't need to be more than Modahan, and he has only this way to go." Ji Qingchen continued, "Because his grain and grass have been burned by us, if he wants to continue to fight us, he must replenish the grain and grass for the army, and if he wants to replenish the grain and grass needed by the more than 100,000 troops around him for several months, he can only attack Caozhou City, otherwise he can only withdraw from Yunzhou and retreat to Liaozhou, so that he will become more passive, with his personality, he will not do this, and if he wants to retreat to Liaozhou, we will lose an opportunity to completely annihilate his 170,000 army, I don't think you are right?" ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" Bai Xiangcheng asked.

"We already have the conditions to force Mo Dahan to Caozhou City, why should we spend it here any longer?" Ji Qingchen asked rhetorically, not giving Bai Xiangcheng a chance to speak, he continued, "So what this king means is that this king will lead away Ah Sang and Ao Bai, you take the opportunity to get rid of the pursuit of the Beirong cavalry and make peace with Cheng Qianfan, and then find a way to force Mo Dahan to Caozhou City, and then fight to the death with Mo Dahan, and strive to wipe out the more than 100,000 troops under Caozhou City, because Ah Sang and Ao Bai are coming for this king, as long as you are separated from this king, they will not care where you go." ”

"Your Highness, no, this is too dangerous, Xiang Cheng would rather fight to the death with the Beirong cavalry than let His Highness put his life in danger." Bai Xiangcheng refused, "Please forgive Xiang Cheng for this matter!" ”

"The 60,000 elite horsemen of Munbuke and Haksu wreaked havoc in the northern capital, displacing the people wherever their cavalry passed, and burning the mountain villages and towns to ashes. Hauge's atrocities in Shangzhou are also outrageous. These atrocities had already been conceived when the king ignored their two armies and only targeted the Chinese army of Modahan. But this king decided this way because there is no choice, because if we don't defeat Mo Dahan's main force, what if we rescue the Northern Capital or Shangzhou? Beijon will still march south to King's Landing. Ji Qingchen said, "But now it's different, we have a chance to defeat Mo Dahan, as long as we defeat Mo Dahan, we can go to rescue the people of the Northern Capital, and we can go to rescue the people of Shangzhou." Brother Xiang Cheng, you can't be emotional! ”

"Your Highness, but in this way, you are too dangerous-" Bai Xiangcheng said, he said stubbornly. "Xiang Cheng will never agree."

"Brother Xiang Cheng, you are the commander of the army, you can't be emotional!" Ji Qingchen said, but as soon as the words changed, he said in a stern tone, "Besides, with the ability of Ah Sang and Ao Bai, you may not be able to do anything about this king, this matter is so decided, don't fight, this king is the governor of Northern Liao, you are a soldier of Dayan, and you must obey the orders of the commander." ”

"Your Highness-" Bai Xiangcheng still had to argue, but Ji Qingchen didn't give him a chance to speak, "Just leave the Xiaocai camp for this king, and you have to take all the rest of the army away, by the way, this is the military order given to you by this king, you have to execute the order immediately!" ”

"Your Highness, Xiang Cheng-" Bai Xiangcheng still had to argue, but this time Ji Qingchen was angry, pulled out the wolf blade with a sonorous sound, and roared at Bai Xiangcheng, "Don't get out of here!" Hurry - as long as you can wipe out the main force of Modahan, more than anything else. ”

"-No!" Bai Xiangcheng saw that Ji Qingchen had made up his mind, so he didn't dare to disobey his order, and left the camp in stride.
