Chapter 151: Twenty-Three: Chase and Escape
The discipline of the Yellow Turban Army is not strong, and there are many of them, and there are certain difficulties in assembling, Cheng Yuanzhi ordered his subordinates to lead Deng Mao to lead 1500 cavalry to pursue, bite the other party to the death, and at the same time deliver news to the follow-up army to facilitate the pursuit.
1500 cavalry, this is already all that Cheng Yuanzhi can come up with, after all, war horses are more expensive, he is just a small general, not enough qualifications!
Deng Mao happily responded to the order and led the cavalry brigade to rush out to attack, with his own pride in his heart!
In his eyes, cavalry is undoubtedly a high-end type of military and a status symbol, which is enough to make people proud.
The cavalry was fast, and he led his team in pursuit of the enemy, the wind howling in his ears, and the scenery around him retreated quickly, which was a very good feeling, and made people feel comfortable, almost addictive.
The group was galloping on the grassland, but half an hour later, he frowned: "What about people? ”
"Didn't you say that there were millions of homeless people? Their speed is not too fast, why did we chase for a long time without catching up, and we didn't even see a single figure? ”
Deng Mao didn't know that when he was looking around suspiciously, Zhang Fan's shadow archer was staring at him in the dark, and a little farther away from his naked eye, a white horse stood proudly on the spot, and the knight on the horse sneered and looked over from afar!
And just a mile behind the White Horse Knight, a huge team was slowly moving forward, in an orderly manner.
"Could it be that I came out slowly and delayed the fighter?" Deng Mao was puzzled, he could only secretly guess, and finally he roared and led the cavalry brigade to rush forward again, hoping to catch up with the enemy and bite tightly!
He ran, searched everywhere, but found nothing, and after another ten minutes passed, he still didn't see a single figure.
"What's going on? They couldn't have been that fast! ”
Deng Mao settled down, his analysis was very correct, the cavalry has extreme speed, and 40 minutes is enough time to catch up with any infantry, not to mention that the other party is just a group of outcasts!
"Looks like you're going in the wrong direction?" Deng Mao was a little annoyed in his heart, and secretly cursed the soldier who gave up his life to report back, thinking that it was because he didn't report clearly, so he led him to chase in the wrong direction.
He looked around, the surrounding terrain was relatively flat, and there was no trace of the movement of the large army within his sight, which made his heart tense and frown.
"Why don't we divide our forces and look for it?"
The words of the soldiers around him made him nod, and he divided the army into two teams, one team of 1,400 people led by himself to investigate to the right, and the other team of 100 people to the left to investigate.
The army of 1,500 people was instantly divided into two parts, divided into left and right, this decision was undoubtedly very correct, increasing the possibility of discovering Zhang Fan and others, but their every move was in the hands of the shadow archers and the white horse followers, there was no secret at all, this is information warfare, information warfare!
Zhang Fan's large army is in the direction chosen by Deng Mao, there is the middle of his team, he can't move forward, he can't retreat, he is in a dilemma, and he is about to be hit head-on!
After getting the information, Yan Yang is ready to fight, in his opinion, being discovered by the enemy has become inevitable, and the next thing is to fight, kill a bloody road!
But he was stopped by Zhang Fan, and just when he was puzzled, he saw Zhang Fan issue an instruction that made him dumbfounded......
……
Empty!
It's still empty!
Deng Mao stood still, his heart was full of frustration, and more than ten minutes had passed, and in front of him there were no other than weeds and rocks, where was there any figure?
"Damn, where the hell did these outcasts go? Am I going in the wrong direction again? ”
He was puzzled, turned his head and looked around, there was still no miracle happening, there was no half a figure, only the "whirring" wind sounded, the scorching sun shone in the sky, and the person who took the light felt a burst of irritability in his heart for no reason, and he wanted to scold.
"It's slippery!" He turned around angrily and spurred his horse away: "You'd better pray that you won't be discovered by me!" Otherwise, I'll kill you all!" ”
The speed of the war horse is indeed extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he has only a back left, gradually disappearing, but he will never know that where he just stood, there are a large number of homeless people a few miles before and after, and the homeless people in front of him are walking forward unhurriedly, getting farther and farther away from him, while the homeless people in the rear are standing still, remaining hidden, and they have not been discovered by him!
The place where he had just stood for a long time became a dividing line, splitting Zhang Fan's army into two and cutting it in two, but miraculously it was not discovered, and there was no danger!
Yanyang is indeed convinced, Zhang Fan's active mind and decisive decision-making are breathtaking, he can often be able to do what others can't, others don't dare, and he is a master who dares to do it!
"I'm so sorry you came up with it!" Qin Yao smiled lightly, her eyes rolling.
"Huh!" Zhang Fan smiled, there were already fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and the precise command for most of the day made him consume a lot of his mind and body.
"Two days to go!"
Zhang Fan showed a wry smile, the Valley of Hades was already in front of him, and now he was only one foot away, but it was so tormented that it made people anxious.
"It's okay! Now that we are not far from the Valley of Hades, it is a big deal that we can just kill it back, as long as we pay attention to protecting civilians, there will not be too many casualties! Meng Qing said.
Zhang Fan nodded silently: "This is the only last resort!" ”
The situation is getting more and more critical, Deng Mao has been looking for a long time to no avail, and he actually ruthlessly sent out 1500 cavalry, probing in all directions, the civilians moved slowly, the number was huge, and now it has not gone out of the range of the cavalry, time passed little by little, the cavalry rushed back and forth, and almost found the whereabouts of Zhang Fan's army several times.
This is Xuan and Xuan's command, at first Tiebi could barely keep up with Zhang Fan's rhythm, but as time passed, Tiebi found that his brain was not enough, Zhang Fan's instructions became more and more dense, more and more boundary, sometimes Tiebi didn't even know what the purpose of these instructions was, and knew that he could only react after thinking for a while.
Gradually, Tie Bi's gaze at Zhang Fan changed a little, and it became extremely hot, this kind of overall situation and disposition was extremely terrifying, which made him sigh to himself, although this is only in the game, but he can also see the subtlety and know what kind of person Zhang Fan is!
He was keenly aware that if Zhang Fan's trait was really put on the battlefield, it would definitely give the enemy a terrifying blow!
Now Zhang Fan is only commanding civilians, if he is allowed to command real soldiers, fully armed soldiers, it must be a completely different situation, the terrifying feeling haunts his heart, making Tie Bi tremble slightly, he and Yan Yang looked at each other, and they both saw the vibration in each other's eyes.
Such a person can call the wind and rain in the game, and he can also be invincible in reality!
Zhang Fan won't know what these two people are thinking, of course, he doesn't have time to care now, 1500 enemy cavalry has been scattered in all directions, and now the stability is in jeopardy, and there is a danger of being discovered if he is not careful!
As a last resort, Zhang Fan was reluctant to engage the other party, because he knew that these cavalry were just the vanguard troops, and there were a terrifying number of Yellow Turban troops behind them!
The Yellow Turban Thieves are locusts and jackals, and when the time comes, they will definitely swarm them, and the casualties of the civilians will be inevitable, which he never wants to see.
This chase and escape lasted for a whole day, and as it darkened today, it also provided a natural cover for Zhang Fan's large army, and the sight of Deng Maofang's cavalry was closer and more difficult to detect.
Looking at the sunset in the distance, Deng Mao's face was red, and he didn't know if he was rendered by the sunset or angry......
Throughout the day, he went from excitement at first, then to confusion, then to anger, impatience, and then to confusion and depression......
"Damn it, it's so slippery!"
Deng Mao knew that the enemy was nearby, and there were traces of people trampling on the land, which was the result of the march of the large army, and this trace was so blatant that it was a blatant mockery of his incompetence!
He almost crushed a mouthful of steel teeth, for some of these places were even places he had just arrived, and he had come in fashion and without a trace, and when he had no avail of searching, he suddenly appeared when he walked back!
It's a terrifying feeling, like you're standing still, and a second before there's not half a figure behind you, and a second later, someone reaches out and pats you on the shoulder, and when you turn around in horror, you're horrified to find that there is no half person behind you!
"Are these guys humans or ghosts?"
He muttered countless times, came up with other ways countless times, he ambushed, detoured, and behaved, but the enemy just didn't appear, as if he had completely disappeared in this reckless world, and could not be explored at all.
"How so?"
The great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao is a heavenly immortal, the Yellow Turban Army is the Heavenly Blessing Divine Army, and Deng Mao is naturally a person who believes in ghosts and gods, and he is faintly afraid in his heart......
I'm afraid that what I encounter is an army of ghosts?
This kind of thought appears every time, and then it is suddenly waved out of his mind, the Yellow Turban Army has the protection of the Yellow Sky, what gods and devils are you afraid of?
Besides, even if there are ghosts, these dirty things are hiding from themselves, so what are you afraid of?
"Whether you are a human or a ghost, you will die today without a place to be buried!"
Having said that, if the color gradually darkens today, Deng Mao stands alone in the open field, the horse is tired, and he is standing and bowing his head to graze, and there is a cool breeze blowing around, which is very comfortable, but he feels cold for no reason.
He sat on his horse, looking around with a faint fear in his eyes, he knew that the enemy was nearby, but he could even see the remnant sun in the sky very clearly, why couldn't he see the whereabouts of the enemy?
Night is near.
The remnant sun has gradually set, but the redness like blood has not all subsided, this is the last ray of light before sunset, with a little dark red, like the deepest blood!
