For a long time, after the elimination of Zhang Qi's troops, the army hastily ate a mouthful of dry food and did not dismount along the way, Tang Hao has been leading his men and horses to gallop wildly. There were already soldiers who had fallen behind on the road, but because of the small number of people and the importance of time, Tang Hui just rushed towards Yanghan City without the slightest intention of waiting.

"General, some of the brothers and some horses are obviously unable to hold on, should we slow down!"

In the rushing army, the captain who had been dragging behind and driving the soldiers who couldn't run was running wildly, watching more and more soldiers start to slow down their horses because their bodies couldn't eat, or some horses couldn't hold up and began to foam at the mouth, he hurriedly beat his horse and ran from the end of the army to the front, and said to Tang Boyan, the commander of the army.

"Where in the wilderness is there a place to feed the horses with fine grain! Keep running, and as for those who fall behind, then leave it alone! As a soldier, you can fall behind when you march, what else can you ask them to do! ”

In fact, Tang Hui was also tired and abnormal at this time, but he was the commander of the first army, the soul of the first army, how could he show any negative state. Now, he can only step up the speed of his horses, quickly seize a small county town in front of Yanghan, let the army eat and sleep well, and the horses are fed enough fine food, and then use sparrow tactics to harass the large army of the Yellow Turban Army all the way.

"General, we only have 3,000 men now, do you want to send someone to collect the soldiers who have fallen behind?"

During the galloping march, the 'whirring' north wind poured into his mouth, but the captain still continued to build towards Tang Hao. There are really too many people left behind, there are hundreds of people, and there are more casualties than when Zhang Qibu was eliminated before.

"No need, since they have fallen behind, it is impossible for these people or horses to recover their combat strength in a short period of time, so there is no need to send a few more combat forces to collect them."

Tang Hui, who frowned and thought about it for a while, still rejected the captain's proposal. Now he was eager to break the light cavalry under his command into ten by himself, even if he sent dozens of people to collect these soldiers and horses, it was a bit unworthy in his opinion.

"You hurry up and go to the rear team to supervise. There's a county town ahead, and we'll rest there tonight! ”

Pointing the horsewhip far ahead, Tang Hao puffed up a sigh and said to the captain. In fact, the county seat in front of you is far away. But he Tang Hao can only say this, there is one hope, it is better than a hopeless and desperate rush.

"喏~"

Every high-level official actually had a wartime map in mind, and after a little thought, he knew which county town Tang Hui was referring to, and the lieutenant had to shout.

……

"Qu Shuai, the brothers are tired. All yelling to rest, you see? ”

As night fell, one of the four commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, Su Gu, came to him and begged Zhang Yan to stop marching and camp to rest.

"Good!"

In fact, Zhang Yan wanted to go to the front again, and after arriving at the county seat in front, he could strengthen the city defense tonight, and then station some soldiers and horses, which became a barrier for the sluggish Han army. However, considering the casualness of the rabble of the Yellow Turban Army and the problems of physical fitness and mentality, Zhang Yan, who had been entangled for a long time, still agreed to Zhenggu's request.

"Xie Qushuai is considerate!"

In fact, everyone knows that this is an escape for their lives, and they need to hurry up. But the Yellow Turban soldiers who have always been loose and have no collective concept. I still couldn't help but drag it out. There is only one purpose, it's dark and it's time to rest!

"Sun Qing, you can gather a group of cavalry and go to Yanghan's side tonight, and see if there is any movement from a distance. Although we stationed some soldiers and horses over there for warning purposes, if we really encountered the interception of the Han army's light cavalry, the news would not have been able to spread at all. ”

Although calculating that the cavalry of the Han army had no time to chase after him, Zhang Yan, who was always panting in his heart, still cautiously gathered a cavalry team composed of various mottled horses from the powerful Yellow Turban Army that lacked horses and returned to the army to explore the movement, so as to calm his restless mood.

"Okay!"

After a few days of getting along. Sun Qing admired this decisive and spicy Qu Shuai very much, so Sun Qing obeyed his order without the slightest question.

……

At night, the Han army slept quietly in a small county town called 'Han County', only fifteen miles away from Yanghan, and was really tired today. Everyone needs to get enough sleep to recuperate for the day of the battle, which begins early tomorrow morning. And the Yellow Turban Military Department, after seeing that Yanghan did not move all night, they quietly rushed back to resume their lives, and tonight's Yanbei was immersed in tranquility and sleep.

……

"General. Are we today? ”

The lieutenant who stretched his waist and came out of the tent saw Tang Hui already packing up his clothes and standing there quietly, looking at the pale east from afar.

"Bypass Yanghan, let's chase all the way!"

Judging from last night's news, all the Yellow Turban Army troops in Yanghan City have been withdrawn, leaving only some old, weak, sick and local children to defend this city, which should be a matter of overnight. But in order to seize the time and avoid causing some unnecessary losses, Tang Hui still chose to bypass the city of Yanghan. Of course, the fact that his troops were all light cavalry was also a factor in his reluctance to attack the city.

"Whoa! I'm going to gather my soldiers. ”

It was getting late, and after the captain had drunk, he went straight to the scattered non-commissioned garrisons to gather the soldiers.

……

On the other hand, Zhang Yan also seemed to have a good heart, so he got dressed early and stood up in the wilderness, looking at the bright east, he faintly had a worry in his heart, would the light cavalry of the Han army really not pursue him and others? If it is pursued, then where is the position of the light cavalry of the Han army now? It is only three days away from the rolling mountains, but Zhang Yan is full of worries about the three-day journey.

……

"Qu Shuai, Yang Han didn't move at all last night, and it was still our brothers who were guarding the city."

Early in the morning, the scouts sent out had already returned and reported to Sun Qingyu about the situation last night. Sun Qing, who listened to the information, did not underestimate Zhang Yan in the slightest, so he hurried to report it. Zhang Qi's example is in front of him, who dares to underestimate Zhang Yan now?

"Isn't there any movement? No matter, Sun Qing, you will disperse the army among our fellow villagers and help them increase their speed. ”

After frowning and listening to Sun Qing's words, Zhang Yan, who thought that the Han army's light cavalry was at least one day away, gave an order, an order that he would regret in the future! (To be continued.) )
