The two teams worked together and soon, the victory was completely sealed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info hacked to death and captured more than half of the more than 2,000 Youzhou troops who were ambushed in Taojiazhuang, and the rest were allowed to scatter and flee into the ice and snow.

Immediately, the heroes of Taihang Mountain and the warriors of Lijiazhai Township rested for a while, leaving one hundred and ten people to guard the camp, and the rest embarked on the journey of chasing and killing the enemy.

Along the way, the Youzhou soldiers, who constantly had high fever and were physically exhausted, were caught up by everyone, but they didn't have the kung fu to cut and kill at all. Leave a dry ration behind and let them choose to return to Taojiazhuang as captives, or stay in the snow and freeze to death!

Rao is like this, everyone has been chasing for more than 20 miles, but they still failed to bite the tail of the Youzhou army. Han Kuangmei survived by shutting his tail twice, buying himself at least a full morning of retreat. And the morale of the townsmen and the heroes of Taihang Mountain is strong, and their physical strength is limited after all, and they are chasing and chasing, and their footsteps gradually slow down.

"Don't, don't chase it. Taojiazhuang's grain and grass are very heavy, enough, enough for the two of us to use for a while!" Hu Yancong ran out of breath, put the steel whip on the ground, and loudly proposed to Zheng Ziming.

"The art of war, the art of war, the poor chase the end. The big guys can't run anymore, and if they chase it any further, I'm afraid they will be bitten back by the enemy!" Hu Yanyun followed closely behind his father, looking at the ground and adding with a red face.

Although her voice was not loud, she was to the point. As the physical strength of the Xiangyong and Taihang heroes decreases, the advantage over the enemy army will shrink rapidly. If Han Kuangxian is really ruined and takes the team to the front, the result will be difficult to predict.

"Patrol, patrol. Along the way, we have seen at least more than 4,000 Youzhou soldiers. If they all return to Taojiazhuang, I'm worried, I'm worried that the brothers left behind will not be able to suppress them!" Tao Dachun had always been cautious, lest Zheng Ziming would be carried away by the previous victory, so he also ran forward and lowered his voice to remind.

This is another trouble that Zheng Ziming has to consider. The sick numbers that were left on the road by Han Kuangmei, although they all had a high fever. But the cold is not a fatal disease after all. In case they returned to Taojiazhuang, they suddenly had bad intentions. The 100 brothers who stayed in Zhuangzi really might not be able to cope with it.

"Patrol, patrol, brothers, brothers can't run!" Li Shun didn't want to be left behind, so he also ran to Zheng Ziming's side and made a lively noise in a low voice.

Zheng Ziming has always listened to the persuasion of others, and now that the friendly army and the brothers around him have lost interest in continuing to pursue and kill the enemy army, he decided to accept it when he sees it. He smiled and nodded decisively. "Then collect the troops, everyone will collect the troops in Taojiazhuang!"

"Obey!" Hu Yancong, Tao Dachun, Li Shun'er and others agreed loudly while raising their sleeves to wipe their sweat. In the blink of an eye, they all became big flower faces in shadow puppetry.

Only Tao Sanchun is still chasing after him. He frowned, and let out a low cold snort from his mouth. However, before she could speak, Zheng Ziming suddenly turned his head with a sharp heart, and ordered with a smile, "Da Chun, Shunzi, the brothers will hand it over to you two." I'll pick fifty people who can still hold up the physical strength, and continue to chase a little further. When we find out where Han Kuangmei went, I'll come back and join everyone!"

"You, you don't want to die!" Hu Yancong heard this and immediately shouted. Waving his arms, he tried to step forward to stop him.

"I'll go with General Zheng. Huyanzan took the lead and turned sideways to block his father's way, "I asked myself if my skills were passable, and when I encountered enemy troops, even if I couldn't beat them, at least it wouldn't be a problem to retreat." ā€

"I'll go too!" "I'll go too!" "I'll go too......

In the team of Xiang Yong and heroes, more than 30 sturdy men jumped out of 6 continuum, walked quickly to Zheng Ziming, and took the initiative to ask for help. The youthful faces made Hu Yancong suddenly feel that he was more than ten years older, and the words that he was about to dissuade were suddenly stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Tao Sanchun glanced at Hu Yanyun lightly, and followed behind the strong men. Some words don't have to be said at all, and actions are the best words.

She originally thought that the other party couldn't see it, but Hu Yanyun's feelings were far more acute than she imagined. His face was slightly red, and he silently took a few steps forward, silently calling his brother Yanzan, standing shoulder to shoulder.

"You, you. Alas!" Seeing his daughter's small movements in his eyes, Hu Yancong suddenly felt a little sour and astringent in his heart, and it was not a taste of good life. At the same time, there is also a bit of tenderness. "You guys, you can go with confidence! Don't be reckless, and withdraw as soon as you find out the enemy's whereabouts. We've already won enough battles, there's no need to add to it!"

"In this way, there is General Lao Huyan!" At this moment, Zheng Ziming didn't seem to know what politeness was, and he bowed his hand to him from afar across the crowd. Immediately, more than a dozen villagers who had performed well in ordinary training were ordered, and the brothers under his command were gathered to 50 people, and they led everyone away at a gallop.

"Grandma's, Lao Tzu ......" Hu Yancong didn't expect the other party to leave, and couldn't help but protest loudly. However, looking at the young backs, the words of protest finally turned into a low promise. "Forget it! Lao Tzu will guard the captives and baggage for you. Grandma's, Lao Tzu is such a daughter......"

The backs of those young people disappeared at the bend of the mountain road, leaving only a cloud of smoke evaporated from sweat, which lingered for a long time.

The wind is still cold, but spring is coming, and the moisture is in the sun, giving off a dreamy color.

"Huh-" Han Kuangmei spewed out a colorful smoke into the sky, and then turned back suddenly, "Stop, stop and reorganize the team, bury the pot and make food!" Lu Xu, you take a few people to the front to explore the way. Linghu Chu, you take a personal soldier from the capital and go to the back to gather the team. Tell the brothers, don't be discouraged, what we lost today, the old man will bring everyone back sooner or later!"

"Yes!" the two generals who were named gasped and agreed, and then dragged their tired bodies to carry out the task.

The rest of the generals scattered along both sides of the mountain road, each looking for their own lineage, chopping wood, setting up pots, lighting fires, and cooking. Fill the stomachs of most of the people on the team as much as possible before the next battle comes.

Only a few civilian staff members had nothing to do, so they shrunk their necks into the mink fur and leaned together with worried faces. After discussing for a long time, they suddenly nodded to each other again, and walked towards Han Kuangmei together.

"What, what's wrong with a few of you?" Han Kuangmei had already seen the actions of the staff, frowned, and asked first.

"No, no!" all the staff members stopped in unison, looking at each other, and no one wanted to take the lead. After hesitating for a moment, finally, Han Zhuo, who joined the army, was the first to be impatient, and bowed down to salute, "Marshal Qiqi, I think that our army is not out of danger yet." At this moment, it is not really appropriate to stop and recuperate!"

"You question the old man's decision?" Han Kuangmei's eyebrows jumped upwards suddenly, and her gaze was like a knife in an instant.

"No, no, no, that's not what lowly it means. Humble duty, humble duty dare not!" Han Zuo, who joined the army, was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and cold sweat rolled on his forehead instantly, "Humble duty, humble duty, humble duty." Dashuai, I really don't dare to question you. I just think that here, this place is too close to Taojiazhuang, too close!"

"Little rabbit cub, what if you question it?" Han Kuangmei suddenly pouted and smiled, and her face was instantly filled with sunshine, "You are the old man's army, of course you are qualified to fill in the gaps for the old man!"

"Humble, humble, don't dare!" Han Zhuo was cold and hot by the other party's hot and cold attitude, which made his spine feel cold. Suppressing the fear in his heart, he bowed down and added, "The marshal paid an extremely high price to win two hours of retreat time for our army. This place is ...... from Dingzhou"

"Who said that the old man must retreat to Dingzhou City?" Han Kuangmei's voice suddenly raised, sounding like an owl singing in a cold night, "The old man retreats here, and then reorganizes the soldiers and horses, can't he turn around and fight again?" If the man surnamed Zheng dares to chase here with his soldiers and horses after two battles, how much strength will he have left? If he doesn't chase after him today, if he really dares to chase here, the old man will definitely let him have no return!"
