Chapter 32: The Strange Battle

Zhang Long was attacked by the official army a few days ago, almost annihilated, and encountered a sneak attack on the way back to Zhongwan City, and finally he was the only one who escaped back.

The general He Mannian followed him for many years, and rushed back to report the news, and did not punish him too much, but demoted him from a general to a dub, and gave him a chance to atone for his crimes, and if the task was completed well, there was also a chance to be reinstated.

So, Zhang Long confidently took the fifty soldiers newly assigned to him and began to search for grain and grass in Zhongwan County.

However, after a period of time, the progress of looting grain and grass was far from achieving the results he expected, and according to this trend, it would be impossible to complete the tasks assigned by the general.

Dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, and people will do everything in a hurry, so Zhang Long took the risk of expanding the scope of scavenging grain and grass to the west of Zhongwan City and the place controlled by the officials and soldiers.

This decision is very risky, you know, with this little man in his hands, once he is discovered by the official army, he will not want to escape back at all.

But he had no choice, he had run all the places west of Zhongwan City, and he had searched all the places he could find, after all, it was nominally the territory of the rebel army, and some things could not be overdone, so he had to take risks now.

I don't know if it is God bless Zhang Long, when he was trembling and struggling to move forward on the territory of the official army, he actually let him meet a caravan transporting grain, although the other party is also fully armed, but Zhang Long still has an absolute advantage in numbers, not to mention, Zhang Long is extremely confident in his own strength, in this case, Zhang Long almost killed without thinking.

After handing it over, Zhang Long was surprised to find that the combat power of the other party's leader was not below him, no! To be precise, he was still above himself, and he and his two subordinates joined hands to barely defeat each other.

Fortunately, in addition, the other opponent's skills are very ordinary, and it is a matter of time before you defeat the opponent with the advantage of numbers, as long as you persist until then, with the help of other subordinates, you can also pile the opponent to death.

But not long after the fight, Zhang Long found that his opponent seemed to be a little absent-minded, and he cared much more about the surrounding battle situation than about himself.

Zhang Long, who was suspicious, suddenly felt that the person in front of him seemed to have seen it somewhere, and when he looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

One is absent-minded, the other is suspicious, and this battle is more strange.

Xu saw that the casualties of his men were too severe, and Zhang Long's opponent suddenly used a heavy hand, forcing away the three people who were besieging him, and killed them in the other people's battle group.

Seeing this, Zhang Long thought that the other party wanted to help his subordinates kill and injure their own living forces as much as possible, but he didn't expect that the other party would command his subordinates to divide into two groups, one to resist desperately, and the other to break through to the west.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Long saw that the man did not take the lead in breaking through, but first helped the desperate resistance of the wave of people to break off, and waited for the people who broke through to go far away before breaking away from the battle group and chasing westward, as if he was covering some important person to evacuate first.

Suddenly, Zhang Long remembered where he had seen that person!

It was when he was still with the general Zhang Man as a personal soldier that he had seen each other in front of the two armies more than once, and the other party was a personal soldier who led the horse for the commander of the official army, and his status was similar, so he naturally took a few more looks, and left some impressions.

At that time, Zhang Long was still envious of the other party who could lead the horse to the commander, and looked forward to the day when he would be qualified to lead the horse for the general.

But after so many years, it is too unusual for such a person to appear here and become the guard of a caravan.

Could it be that this caravan is just a front, and what big people are hidden in it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Long couldn't help but be overjoyed!

It's a godsend!

If he can really capture some big man in the official army, even if it is just a human head, it will be a great achievement, but it is much more reliable than this Laoshizi's food grabbing.

The more Zhang Long thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately commanded his subordinates to launch a fierce attack on the other party's broken people, that is, the road was narrow and not conducive to unfolding, otherwise the dozen or so people on the other side would not be enough to see at all.

Although Zhang Long was very anxious in his heart, he didn't dare to take a few people to pursue first, he felt the power of the other party's person deeply, and he believed more and more that the other party was worried about the safety of the big man and did not do his best, and he rushed to catch up, just to give the other party a chance to kill himself, such a stupid thing, Zhang Long would not do it.

However, it is still difficult to entangle the enemy with the heart of death, especially there are a few hard stubbles among them, despite Zhang Long's help, Zhang Long's subordinates still paid a lot of casualties to solve the other party, but in this way, time was delayed.

"Don't care about the seriously injured people, the others will chase after me!" Zhang Long, who is eager for meritorious service, can't take care of those soldiers who are incapacitated because of serious injuries, in his opinion, there will always be more soldiers without them, but if such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service is missed, it will be missed.

What makes Zhang Long more depressed is that the other party seems to have a lot of experience in anti-tracking, although Zhang Long has also learned some tracking skills, but compared to the other party, it is obviously more than a step behind.

For this reason, he had to let his men scatter the pursuit along the way when he encountered a fork in the road, and then notify others to follow when he found a clue, which shows that the efficiency of such tracking is extremely low.

Fortunately, the number of people who broke through on the other side was large, and all the tracks could not be hidden in a short period of time, so Zhang Long's people could find all the way in the right direction.

Seeing that it was almost dark, but he hadn't caught up with the other party yet, Zhang Long was even more anxious.

Once it is night, if the other party continues to escape through the night, it will be almost impossible for him to catch up with the other party.

"Faster!" In desperation, he could only keep urging his men to act as quickly as possible.

His subordinates were very dissatisfied with his behavior of abandoning the seriously injured Spore Ze for the sake of meritorious service, but because of his might, they dared not speak out, and could only curse secretly in their hearts.

Of course, Zhang Long didn't know this, maybe he would guess, but he didn't care.

Suddenly! The soldier exploring the path in front of him stepped on something, and a bamboo spear bounced up on the ground, stabbing the soldier in the chest.

"Ahhh

The soldier did not die immediately, and a terrible wail resounded through the mountains.
