"What? Divide the troops! No, my lord, even if you really want to divide the army, you will go first, and I will keep it to attract the attention of the Bunton. ”

When Murong Fang heard Fang Zhiwen's request to let him lead two thousand cavalry first, out of the sight of the Wuhuan people, his head shook like a rattle, and he resolutely disagreed.

Although Murong Fang didn't know the lord's overall plan, he also knew that the purpose of dividing the troops was to forcibly separate a force out of the enemy's sight from the current unfavorable situation, and this force would definitely be much safer than the main force that was targeted by the enemy no matter what the purpose was.

Murong Fang was both moved and angry about the lord's repeated initiative to risk his life, if the lord was gone, what was the need for his subordinates to exist.

Fang Zhiwen turned his head to look at Xiangxiang, in the past few days of continuous fighting, the little girl is not haggard at all, her face is very radiant, it seems that she has gradually become accustomed to this kind of hard life, Fang Zhiwen smiled slightly and shook his head, stopping Xiangxiang from reaching his mouth.

"Zhizhong, you have to figure it out, we took the initiative to attract Badun, his purpose is me, not you, if I disappear from his sight, will he still chase him? It's not easy to make this situation, do you have to fail? Besides, if I let you divide your troops out, I will let you become the sharp arrow that attacks and kills Badun at a critical moment, not to let you out of battle, don't I understand the truth you understand? ”

Fang Zhiwen didn't speak fast, and his voice was not loud, but he was very stern, maybe Fang Zhiwen usually felt very easy-going to his subordinates, but when it came to the battlefield, Fang Zhiwen was an emotionless war machine and could have opinions. However, military orders must not be violated, this is Fang Zhiwen's principle.

Murong Fang raised his head and looked at the lord for a while, he was the lord's first subordinate general, and he naturally knew the most about the lord's temperament, he could see it from Fang Zhiwen's eyes. Fang Zhiwen wanted to entrust his life to him.

"My lord, my subordinates obey the order1

"Hmm. Very good. You take a thousand men, scatter them, pretend to be scattered deserters, first break away from the assembly in the north, on the one hand, secretly attack some small tribes on the grassland, grab the grain and grass and bury it, we will take it according to your mark, remember, don't bury it all in one place. Instead, it is distributed in an area, and if we deviate from the route, we will not completely lose the supply of food and grass. Also, don't kill too much when robbing, so as not to cause a strong backlash from the Xianbei and Huns, and only grab grain, grass, cattle and sheep. On the other hand. To show us the way forward, we have to be very careful, carefully calculate and adjust the direction and distance between you and me. It is necessary to cooperate with me to continue to divide the troops in the past, but also not to let the hind leaders catch up. Our ultimate goal is Mobei, and this road across the desert has been explored by Yuanzhi last time, and this time it will be used. Also, keep in touch with me at any time with the Pigeon Messenger. ”

"No1

Fang Zhiwen pointed to the map and repeatedly pointed out the route he planned to take, of course, now he is just intending, because I don't know if there will be Xianbei or Huns blocking the road on this route, or if there is any natural environment that cannot be passed, if there is, it must be detoured, and the calculation of the specific route depends on Murong Fang, on the one hand, he gave Fang Zhiwen a front station, and on the other hand, he wanted to complete a plan to steal beams and change pillars.

In the game, one person and two horses are feasible, and it can indeed effectively improve the speed of the march, in fact, Fang Zhiwen and Badun are now in a state of one person and two horses, and Fang Zhiwen deliberately brought a lot of more horses in order to confuse the pursuers of the Wuhuan people at that time, disguised as prisoners of the team, so now the horses in Fang Zhiwen's hands are redundant.

Even if one person and three horses are enough, the problem is that in the game, one person and three horses are completely meaningless, they can only consume grain and grass in vain, and the reason why Fang Zhiwen refuses to give up these war horses is to use them as food in the future.

Fang Zhiwen selected all the horses in good condition for Murong Fang, taking advantage of the night to cover up, Murong Shuang said goodbye to the lord, and turned to gallop north with a thousand cavalry, Fang Zhiwen was not worried at all that Bandun would suspect that there were a thousand fewer people on his side, in a long-distance pursuit battle, it was very common to fall behind, and there were a large number of war horses on his side, Fang Zhiwen sent a lot of squads to make traces in all directions at night, plus Murong Fang's troops were scattered in the form of a team of fifty people, even if he was shrewd, I couldn't guess that I would take so long to play a trick of stealing beams and changing pillars.

He didn't believe that the Han army's ability to continue fighting on the grassland would be stronger than that of the Wuhuan people, and with the large number of his own troops, he could use the method of rotation and leaping, this kind of hunting method adopted by the steppe gray wolf can exhaust the prey to death.

It's a pity that the opponent doesn't seem to be to be underestimated, after chasing for two days, Badun found that the Han army in front was very familiar with the combat methods on the grassland, they used traps, false traces and poisoned ponds and the like, constantly delaying the pursuit behind them, and even they were very familiar with the activities of the golden eagle, and they would always lose their traces at the moment when the two flying eagles handed over, so that the golden eagle would take more time to find them again.

Bunton's troops were separated by a team of 10,000 people for ten miles, maintaining a fan, which firmly caught Fang Zhiwen's traces, and did not let him run away successfully, Bunton believed that as long as he chased after him so sleeplessly, Fang Zhiwen's troops would soon collapse.

It's just that three more days have passed soon, and after all, he has been chasing Fang Zhiwen for six days, almost running out of two thousand miles, and Fang Zhiwen is still dangling not far in front of him, although he looks like he is about to collapse at any time, but he has never really collapsed.

"The king, the Han army, the Han army has entered the desert 1

In fact, these days, he is also very tired of chasing, although they can still take turns to rest, but this level of rest is definitely not enough, he doesn't know how Fang Zhiwen's Han army maintains its physical strength, and now he actually dares to rush into the desert with remnants.

"How many of them are left?" The reason why Badun asked like this was because in the process of pursuit, Fang Zhiwen's troops continued to have sporadic soldiers left behind, and they also caught and killed a few, but these soldiers couldn't ask anything, they just knew. Fang Zhiwen's troops are falling behind more and more seriously.

At the beginning, there were dozens or hundreds of them a day, but now there may be hundreds of soldiers left behind at the end of the day, and there may be more scattered at night, according to the traces of the Han army and the information obtained by the Golden Eagle in the sky, Fang Zhiwen's troops started with 10,000 to 12,000. Now there are less than five thousand left.

"Less than four thousand, my lord. And. There are less than 10,000 horses, and it seems that they are no longer enough to eat, and judging from the traces left, they have killed a lot of war horses as food. ”

"How far have they run all day today?"

"It's more than fifty miles less than yesterday."

"Damn! Seeing that he caught up with 1 and scolded hatefully.

It can be seen from the distance that the Han army runs every day that their state has dropped rapidly, and they are on the verge of collapse, and they actually run into the desert.

"King, are we still chasing? I saw that the snow was about to fall. ”

"How's the grain and grass going?"

"Ten days to go."

"It's not that Mobei is uninhabited, although we don't have much contact with the Xianbei people in Mobei. But more or less it will sell some face, a small amount of grain and grass should still be able to buy, if you don't chase it, this Fang Zhiwen will always be a thorn in the heart, and sooner or later he will have to make a break. Instead of going to storm the fortress in the future. It's better to take him down at any cost this time. ”

"That, King"

"Chase! Chase to the edge of the sky, chase it! I don't believe he can go without eating or drinking, even if he could. Can his soldiers? Chase 1

"No1

Fang Zhiwen has been completely sleepless these days, but he still has no problem at this level, and Xiangxiang has no problem at all, because she can completely set up to follow, and when she was bored, she also entered two journey dungeons, but Fang Zhiwen didn't dare to follow in.

As for the soldiers under his command, Fang Zhiwen also adopted a similar form of rotation, sending out the soldiers of Rongluo, after resting for a day or two, and then waiting in front to meet Fang Zhiwen, replacing other soldiers to go out, each time they came back less, went out more, and even sometimes deliberately abandoned some soldiers on the road to the pursuers behind.

The skill in this lies in the choice of route, even on the grassland, it is impossible to run in a straight line, because there are rivers and lakes on the grassland, as well as mountains and swamps, which will change the direction of progress, and all Murong Fang does is to fully calculate these factors, and then find out the best way forward.

In order to realize Fang Zhiwen's plan to rotate and rest, and gradually change the soldiers out, now there are nearly 6,000 people on the Zheluo side, and the next stop will be to set up a supply station for buried grain in Mobei, as for Murong Fang, he has already led his troops to detour south to return to Fengning camp the day before yesterday.

It was snowing1 Xiangxiang suddenly exclaimed, a small plush snow ball stuck to Xiangxiang's face, and the cold feeling made Xiangxiang, who was writing a book about flying pigeons, startled.

Fang Zhiwen raised his head, the heavy snow coming from the sky, like a surging wave, looked really spectacular, but this majestic feeling, the moment the snow ball touched the skin, it became extremely gentle, because it had no power at all.

"Yes, it's snowing, I don't know if Badun dares to chase after him, on the Fengning grassland, it is estimated that it will have to wait a few days for it to snow, let the scouts behind confirm Badun's whereabouts, if he really chases him, notify Murong Fang, Li Shehu, and Duan Zigang, and prepare to build the city in three days! No, whether he chased him or not, he began to build the city after three days. ”

Fang Zhiwen looked back at the somewhat gloomy prairie behind him, the withered yellow grass had fallen to the ground, and the lead-colored clouds were pressing heavily on the yellow-brown earth, as if to crush the earth, that dull and depressing feeling could block people's breathing

Gusts of cold wind swept through the dry grass and let out a low whining sound, heralding the coming of a blizzard, and the battle flag behind Fang Zhiwen made the sound of hunting, and it was this banner that told Badun that the target he was tracking did not slip away among the skirmishers.

"Brother, what if you don't chase after you?"

"That's easy, let's chase him instead! Hehe. Fang Zhiwen took a hard breath of clear air and replied loudly, hearing his answer, Yuwen Boyan and other generals straightened their waists, and their faces were shining, shining with confidence and pride. To be continued.
