In fact, even if Guo Jia didn't explain Li Wenhou's intentions to Chen Gong, he could know at this moment that Li Wenhou's target was Qinchuan City, but now that the lights were dark all around, it was not easy to find out Li Wenhou's army. Of course, if Yang Tian was here, with his eagle eyes, he would be able to do it, but now Yang Tian was still transporting the more than one million people rescued from Tianshui City.

Therefore, Chen Gong could only take the remaining nearly four million troops to reflexively chase in the direction of Qinchuan City, he was not looking for a line to track, but went straight to the direction of Qinchuan City, although Li Wenhou's hundreds of thousands of troops would definitely leave some whereabouts, but to find out, it would also waste a lot of time, in this case, they could not catch up with each other at all, and finally Li Wenhou was able to escape to Qinchuan City. Why bother?

The next morning, Li Wenhou had already led the army to flee more than 100 kilometers north of the battlefield, and it was only more than 200 kilometers away from Qinchuan City. According to the spies, the army of Inhumans who fought him yesterday is still more than fifty kilometers behind him. At this time, Li Wenhou finally felt a little relieved.

Last night, because the imperial court alien army bit too tightly, in order to escape, he only took away more than 600,000 sixth-order soldiers and 7,000 Xiliang iron cavalry under his command.

The army that escaped was not all cavalry, and nearly half of them were foot soldiers, but because the average strength was much stronger than that of the Inhuman army, he thought that it was impossible for the imperial army to catch up with him. By the end of the evening, the nine of them would be able to reach Qinchuan City along the way. When the time comes, we will have a good fight with the imperial army.

At this moment, a compact hoof sound came from a distance, the sound was light and smart, but Li Wenhou, who was walking in front of the team, frowned, he is not in a good year now, don't meet any moths!

If it was really an enemy army, Li Wenhou also knew that it was impossible for his people to escape the tracking of the other party, and it could be judged from the voice that the other party was all cavalry, and there were still a lot of foot soldiers on his side, so it was better to stay in place. At the same time, he deduced from the sound of hooves that the opponent's army was not large in number, and with his own strength, there was no need to be afraid.

Soon, an army rushed out from the east and came into his sight, and because of the distance, he could not judge the other party's weapons, but he could tell that it was a light cavalry, and there were about ten thousand in number.

Suddenly, Li Wenhou's heart tightened, could this be the army chasing Bian Zhang that the spies said before? Could it be that General Zhendong's army has already arrived here?

If you think about it carefully, it is possible, after all, it is impossible for you to hide your escape to Qinchuan from the eyes of the sun. It's just that the other party's speed is indeed faster, and in his estimate, even if the army of Baiyun City ignores the fire in the city, it will be four or five hours later than himself, after all, the army he left behind is enough to drag them for a while. Although he was delayed for some time when he encountered the alien army of the imperial court later, it was at night before, so it shouldn't be possible for the other party to catch up so quickly, right?

In fact, he really guessed correctly, this army was indeed Yang Tian's Sunset Legion, but what he didn't expect was that the Sunset Army did not participate in the battle against Tianshui City, but had been waiting outside the city. After Guo Jia expected that the other party would flee to Qinchuan, the Sunset Army sent several people to guard several city gates from afar, and after the other party's army was all gone, they followed closely behind. Due to the small number of people and the long distance of tracking, Li Wenhou's army did not find it at all.

And almost as soon as Li Wenhou's army left Tianshui City on the front foot, the Sunset Army caught up, and they galloped side by side dozens of kilometers east of Li Wenhou's army, because of the connection of the snow pigeon, they didn't have to worry about losing the other party at all. Perhaps only Baiyun City had the luxury of equipping each legion with several extremely fast snow pigeons.

When Li Wenhou's army fought with the imperial army, the Sunset Army was scattered around the battlefield, observing the changes on the battlefield from afar, and Li Wenhou's escape completely fell into the eyes of the Sunset Army.

After that, the matter was very simple, when Sun Miao, the commander of the Sunset Legion, informed Guo Jia of the situation here, even if Guo Jia had a draft, since the other party only escaped more than 600,000 troops, it was impossible to say that he had to make a huge contribution to Baiyun City. Therefore, Guo Jia immediately ordered Sun Miao to lead the army to follow this remnant army, and designated a place to harass it.

It is indeed harassment, because with just these 10,000 wildebeest archers, to intercept more than 600,000 troops is tantamount to shaking a tree. And the harassment war is the specialty of the Sunset Army, with the perverted speed and flexibility of the wildebeest, although Li Wenhou's army is huge, it is impossible to encircle and annihilate the Sunset Army.

The purpose of the harassment was simple, that is, to delay the march of the rebels, so that Guo Jia, who was chasing behind, could lead his army to the front to intercept the remnants of Li Wenhou.

In fact, the Sunset Army was able to harass Li Wenhou's rebels last night, but in this way, this army will inevitably fall into the hands of the foreign forces in the imperial court, how can Guo Jia give up the credit to others?

……

When Li Wenhou saw the strange mounts of this cavalry legion that was getting closer and closer, he had already affirmed in his heart that this legion was the Sunset Legion under the command of General Zhendong.

The enemies were very red when they saw each other, and it was very suitable to use this sentence to describe Li Wenhou's current mood.

"The heavy shieldmen are on the defensive, and the archers are ready to shoot. The cavalry surrounded from both flanks, and I kept the other side! Li Wenhou gave an order in an instant. The other party is an archer, and he doesn't want to stand dead and be a target for the other party. And running away is the stupidest choice, which will be hung by the opponent behind the army and shoot his soldiers one by one.

A huge roar erupted from the rebel camp, which looked majestic, and as the sound came and went, they had quickly adjusted their formation. On both sides of the army, more than 100,000 cavalry were waiting for each other, and as soon as the other side approached, they immediately surrounded the other side. The other side is just archers, and once surrounded, they will never be able to jump back again.

However, to their surprise, when they were only more than three hundred meters away from the advance of their army, the Sunset Legion suddenly turned around and rushed north, and the speed was so fast that all the rebels who saw this situation were smacked! It's not an exaggeration to compare it to an arrow off the string.

Li Wenhou's expression changed, he seemed to have guessed the strategy of this cavalry, and immediately ordered: "The cavalry attack, intercept in sections!" ”

Suddenly, the more than 100,000 cavalry in the north immediately divided into three sections, and did not rush directly towards the Sunset Legion, but went straight to the north, they knew Li Wenhou's order very well, for this extremely fast Sunset Legion, if they swarmed up, it was very likely to be led by the other party's nose, and they would naturally be attacked by the other party's madness; This situation can be avoided by dividing it into several interceptions.

However, the Sunset Legion was not so easy to deal with, and as soon as the cavalry rushed out, these fellows immediately turned around like loaches, narrowly brushed in front of the opposing cavalry, and then turned to the west. At the speed of these wildebeests, it took less than two minutes to move from the east to the west of the rebel camp, and you must know that the rebel army stretched more than ten kilometers from east to west.

Li Wenhou frowned tightly, he didn't expect this Sunset Legion's mount to be so perverted, its speed and agility were already on par with ordinary famous horses, and it was really not ordinary to surround the other party with these cavalry in front of him.

In the entire rebel army array, only the west did not have a large number of heavy shield defenses, and at this moment the Sunset Army had attacked the west, and immediately saw them holding up the huge bows in their hands, and a rain of arrows fell on the rebels' heads, and nearly a thousand rebels were killed by the arrows. While firing, the speed of these wildebeest archers did not decrease in the slightest, and they turned around at a position of about two hundred meters of the rebel army, and immediately rushed north.

At this time, they had no choice but to stop here, because by the time they approached the rebel formation, the cavalry on both flanks had already surrounded this side, and if they were a step too late, they might have been dumpled by the other side.

The Sunset Legion was not greedy for merit, and after shooting a round, it immediately drifted away, leaving no chance for the enemy.

Looking at the archers in the distance, Li Wenhou hated it, but he knew that with the speed of those strange war horses, it was impossible for them to catch up with each other.

"Immediately raise troops and continue to march towards Qinchuan City." Li Wenhou said loudly almost in a roaring way, as if there was no way to vent the anger in his heart except for this way.

After the generals received the order, they gathered their troops and continued to march north, leaving only the nearly 1,000 corpses in place.

Although the Sunset Legion is gone, there is a shadow in the heart of each rebel, and the reason is that the Sunset Legion is too weird, and it can be like no one in the face of an army dozens of times stronger than itself, which is too terrifying.

And Li Wenhou thought more and thought further, and because of this, his heart was heavier than that of other ordinary soldiers or generals, and he understood that the journey of this day might not be as smooth as he imagined.

In fact, the casualties of the rebels in the skirmish were only a drop in the bucket compared to the entire army, and they had no effect on them at all. However, their harassment left the entire rebel army in place for more than ten minutes. This amount of time is usually nothing, but in this form, more than ten minutes is likely to be fatal. And even if more than ten minutes is not enough, can't the other party do the same again?

How can he crack it? (To be continued)
