The sky was covered with dust, and the black pressure was surging like a tide. A large number of Imperial officers and soldiers in armor galloped towards the dense forest, their bayonets held aloft and flashed with an icy cold light.

"Quick, fast into the woods." Zhang Wuwu shouted worriedly.

Six hundred elite soldiers ran wildly, galloping towards the dense forest, the iron hooves behind them rumbled, in the plain, the galloping iron cavalry like iron armor irresistibly caught up with the elite soldiers, the shining cold light of the bayonet spear penetrated their chests, bringing out the rain of blood, the screams made Zhang Wuwu couldn't help but look back.

The backward elite soldiers were picked up by the bayonet and flew to the ground, and then trampled by the war horses, drowning in the rolling iron stream, Zhang Wuwu saw this scene, his eyes breathed fire.

Grabbing the broken spear next to him, he threw it fiercely, piercing the chest of a rushing cavalryman and rolling off his horse.

The cavalry, in the midst of a jungle of trees, could not sustain the high-speed onslaught, and several unlucky cavalrymen crashed headlong into the thick trees, rolled to the ground, and fainted.

There are only more than 1,000 cavalry in total, and if you dismount and chase after them, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and the thieves are all elite warriors who are fully armed. These officers and soldiers alone may not be able to annihilate the rebels, and they may be ambushed and annihilated.

"The whole army retreated, and sent scouts out." Xiao Daocheng thought about it, he couldn't enter the dense forest so recklessly, if the infantry wanted to attack the cavalry, they must rely on the terrain advantage, and they couldn't let the cavalry launch a high-speed impact, once the cavalry speed came up, it was unstoppable to roll iron cavalry.

"No!" From among the guards, more than a dozen cavalry teams rushed out and disappeared into the distance around the dense forest.

More than 1,000 cavalry were arranged neatly, silent, which shows that Xiao Daocheng has a good command and strict military discipline.

Among the 100,000 homeless people, the outlaws are still resisting, and it is inextricable to fight with the township soldiers and militias, and they actually organized the scattered homeless people to attack the dock fort again.

Yuan Liang held a long knife dyed red, a large stream of blood flowed down, and his side was covered with corpses, his face was pale, obviously exhausted, and he saw that another stream of homeless people was about to rush up.

"I'm dying." Close your eyes and prepare to die.

At this moment, the earth trembled, the iron cavalry rumbled, and an unknown number of cavalry slaughtered into the army of the exiles, and at this moment it was nightfall, and the hideous cavalry suddenly emerged from the night like devourers in the darkness.

Before the homeless could react, they were overwhelmed by the cavalry passing by the chrysalis, and the homeless people under the iron hooves were trampled into flesh foam, and there was a scream, and no one got up.

Yuan Liang's heart was relieved, he was dizzy, he was no longer able to support it, there was darkness in front of him, and he fainted.

In the face of the fierce cavalry, the army of displaced people has lost the courage to resist, and continues to scatter and flee, and the entire army of displaced people is in chaos.

Under the command of Xiao Daocheng and the rapid attack of the imperial cavalry, the defense line of the displaced people that had just been organized collapsed at the touch of a button, and it collapsed for thousands of miles without any resistance, and the blood flowed like a river.

The pouring rain fell from the night sky, and the veterans, who were mixed among the homeless people, saw that the homeless people had broken down, quietly broke away from the army, and rushed away under the cover of night.

In the dense forest, less than six hundred elite soldiers walked forward with their heads bowed, and from time to time some people fell and rolled in muddy puddles, their armor wet by the cold rain, and their expressions were depressed and their morale was low.

During the day, he was exhausted from the battle, and he hurriedly retreated overnight, marching until midnight, and his physical strength had reached the limit, and if it were not for the solemn military discipline, he would have been lying on the side of the road.

"Lei Chuan" Zhang Wuwu saw this situation, and immediately stopped and shouted towards the guard.

Lei Chuan still had a few scars on his body at this time, and he looked a little weak.

"General, what are your orders?" Lei Chuan asked in a low voice.

"Order, let the brothers rest for an hour." Zhang Wuwu looked at the exhausted taxi and gave the order to rest.

"Yes, General." Soon, the general's order was conveyed to the various ranks, and the tired soldiers sat down on the spot, ignoring the cold on the ground, but they were too tired.

Due to the loss of all the baggage grain and grass, now the elite soldiers basically have nothing except the generals on their bodies and the weapons in their hands, and the thirsty soldiers lie directly on the ground, drinking the stagnant water in the small puddles, and feel distressed for a while.

Zhang Wuwu summoned Lei Chuan, who joined the army, to discuss the next step.

"General, I suggest we find a place to rest and find out the details. Although half of the brothers have been lost, there are still more than 500 brothers, all of whom are elite backbones, and they can easily pull up an army of 100,000, and now they only need to wait for the opportunity and then make plans. ”

Seeing that Lei Chuan was not discouraged, Zhang Wuwu also encouraged him, and smiled bitterly: "Then it depends on whether the officers and soldiers will let us go, and they will definitely persevere, and they must destroy us." ”

Lei Chuan laughed, shook his head and said: "I just got the news, Si County has been conquered by the righteous army led by Yang Qi, and it will soon go straight to Yang City, how can Xiao Daocheng have the leisure to care about us now." Even if they try to destroy us, they only need to hide in the mountains and forests, and they can't help us. The empire is now in decline, and I am afraid that the world will be in chaos in a few years, and then it will be able to make a career out of the mountains again. ”

Seeing that Lei Chuan was ambitious, Zhang Wuwu's mood improved slightly.

"Xiao Daocheng is really a wise and brave general, and we are not ashamed to be defeated in our hands. However, it is too early to say this, he will definitely find a way to destroy us, otherwise the rebellion will be capricious and never restless. I'm sure he understands this. ”

If it is an ordinary general, Lei Chuan still has confidence, but for such a wise and brave general, he really can't guess.

"Thirty kilometers to the north, there is Longling Mountain, where there is a mountain pass, and there is a small stream and clear spring in the mountain, which is suitable for stationing. The cliffs on both sides are steep and difficult to climb, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the concealment is also good. It's just the right time for us to hide. ”

Zhang Wuwu's heart was turbulent, his brows were furrowed, and he had a feeling of familiarity, Longling Mountain? There was a palpitation in my heart, but I couldn't tell the reason.

"General?" It wasn't until I heard Lei Chuan's voice that I came to my senses.

"Just go there." Zhang Wuwu's mood was very heavy, and his face showed deep worry.

At this time, a commotion sounded, and the elite soldiers in the distance immediately woke up and clenched their weapons, could it be that there were officers and soldiers attacking at night? They all stood up, and for a moment the aura of murder filled the entire forest.

"Go see what's going on?" Zhang Wuwu said to his own soldiers.

After a while, the soldiers went quickly and returned quickly.

"Report, General, it's the defeated veteran who has returned. However, it seems that there are still outsiders who have asked to see the general. ”

Zhang Wuwu was surprised, at this time, who else would send someone to see him, the general of the defeated army.
