There is drought and little rain here, there is no river, most of them are yellow earth, as far as the eye can see, the land is bare, there is no grass, as long as the wind rises, it is the yellow sand flying soil in the sky, and it is also a very painful thing to rush in Youdi.

Lin Haotian and his entourage have more than 50 people, all of them are riding horses, but they walk very slowly, once the horses gallop up, they will be covered with dust in just a while, and the worst thing is that they have to walk a long way to reach the next city, and there is no place to take a bath along the way.

Moreover, they were not in a hurry to return to Liuhe, so they hurried all the way.

Shao Lin looked at the sky and said to Lin Haotian: "My lord, after Wan'an Valley, it is estimated that it will be dark, tonight, are we resting in the valley?"

Hearing this, Roland immediately raised his eyebrows and muttered, "There are often rockfalls in Wan'an Valley, I don't want to be stoned to death in a daze while sleeping." ”

Lin Haotian and Wang Han sneered, and the latter said, "When I came, I remembered that there was a small forest to the east of Wan'an Valley, and we could spend the night in the forest. ”

They were talking, and suddenly, Lin Haotian grabbed the reins and turned his head sideways at the same time.

Everyone was stunned, and they all stopped their horses, and looked back at Lin Haotian in confusion, Wang Han asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Lin Haotian didn't reply immediately, listened intently for a while, and said, "There is a horse team approaching this side. ”

"Horse team?" Wang Han and the others were also shocked, and subconsciously looked around.

The surroundings were quiet, there was no drifting dust, and there was no sound of horses' hooves, but they also knew that Lin Haotian's cultivation was profound, and his ear power was far better than his own.

Lin Haotian listened for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Don't care." We continue to walk ours. As he spoke, he urged his horse and moved on.

Everyone walked out of the time when there was half a pillar of incense, and at this time, people heard a faint roar.

Shao Lin subconsciously looked back and saw behind them. The sky was full of dust, like a whirlwind, and it was coming towards him quickly.

He subconsciously narrowed his eyes and said to Lin Haotian urgently: "My lord, the horse team that rushed over must have at least a thousand horses!"

Wang Han was shocked, and blurted out: "It shouldn't be the defeated soldiers of the Yan Army!"

Hearing his words, Shao Lin's nerves immediately tensed, and his hand naturally raised, tightly gripping the saber at his waist.

Looked at. Lin Haotian shook his head and smiled, leaned over and patted Shao Lin's arm, and said, "No matter who comes over, remember, anything that happens here in Youdi has nothing to do with us. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Shao Lin agreed simply, but his eyes kept looking back.

Unfortunately, Wang Han said that rushing towards them was indeed the defeat of the Yan army. Under the attack of the You army from both sides, the Yan army, which had little strength left, collapsed on all fronts. was slaughtered to the ground.

The three coaches, Chen Hua, Gao Peng, and Chai Song, led a group of remnants of the defeated army to Wan'an Valley. wanted to flee to Jinsha City, but he ran into Lin Haotian and his party who were also going to Jinsha City.

Lin Haotian didn't want to clash with Yan Junsheng, in his opinion, this is Youxi, and in the war born here, You and Yancai are the protagonists. It has nothing to do with the Jin country.

He shook his head at Wang Han, Shao Lin and the others, and said, "Let's retreat first and make way for the Yan people." ”

Looking at the formation, the number of Yan Jun's horse team is indeed quite a lot, but Shao Lin hasn't let it go yet. He said disapprerovingly: "My lord, those Yan troops who came over are just deserters and defeated generals, if we really make a move, we are not afraid of them." ”

Lin Haotian shook his head and smiled, and said: "Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of the cavalry of a few thousand people, but now they are the enemies of the people, not our enemies, and there is no point in fighting, so why fight!"

Shao Lin was still unconvinced, but after hearing Lin Haotian's resolute attitude, he didn't say anything more, waved his hand to the demon martial arts personnel in the rear, and motioned for everyone to retreat to the side.

There were more than 3,000 cavalry led by Chen Hua and others, and there were many infantry behind the cavalry.

The armor and weapons of the cavalry were fairly neat, but the infantry behind them were simply unsightly. The infantry lost their armor one by one, disgraced, three in a gang, a group of five, there was no formation at all, and the team was sparse and scattered, and they didn't know whether it spread out for a few miles or dozens of miles, which was in response to the sentence that the defeat was like a mountain.

Lin Haotian didn't plan to clash with Yan Junsheng, and he also made a concession, but the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and Yan Jun, who was fleeing in a hurry, saw that dozens of people wearing ordinary people's clothes were riding horses, stopped on the side of the road, and without even thinking about it, they immediately rushed over for more than ten rides.

More than ten cavalrymen rushed to Lin Haotian and the others, first glanced around them, and the man who looked like the captain raised the spear in his hand, pointed at them and shouted: "We are now going to requisition the horses you are waiting for, and all of them will dismount!"

Hearing his words, Shao Lin, Tong Lei, Luo Lan and others all raised their eyebrows, they hadn't found trouble with their remnants and defeated generals, they were good, and they took the initiative to come over and make trouble.

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Haotian, as long as the adult gave an order, they would immediately draw their swords and kill all these immortal Yan soldiers.

Lin Haotian was not angry at all, and arched his hand and said: "We are here to do business in Youdi, if there are no horses, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to get out of the wasteland of Youxi, and please raise your noble hands." ”

The Yan soldiers who were defeated by the You army now care about these things, what etiquette and shame are all left behind, at this time, for them, horses are life, one more horse, one more can save the life of one more of their own soldiers.

The cavalry captain shouted angrily, pointed the tip of his gun at Lin Haotian's nose, and shouted: "Damn, your life is life, isn't Lao Tzu's life life?

Lin Haotian sighed secretly, he wanted to let these Yan soldiers live, but they insisted on hitting the muzzle of the gun, so it was no wonder that they were themselves.

He was just about to raise his hand to grab the opponent's spear, when the Yan cavalry on the road suddenly stopped, and then a group of generals of the Yan army urged the horses to come over.

"What's going on?" is a Yan general fifty miles away, dignified and polite, but his face is covered with dust. It looks a little embarrassed.

This is the commander of the Yan Army, Chen Hua, and by his side, there are also generals Gao Peng and Chai Song.

"General!" Seeing Chen Hua, the captain of the Yan soldiers, who was still full of anger just now, immediately put away his perverse anger like a mouse seeing a cat. He respectfully held his spear on his horse and bowed his hand, and then whispered, "The little man sees that they all have horses, and wants to borrow them." As he spoke, he looked back at the exhausted infantry of the Yan Army behind him, and said in a trembling voice: "General, with these dozens of horses, you can save the lives of dozens of brothers!"

Before Chen Hua could speak, Chai Song looked at Lin Haotian in surprise and said, "It's you?!"

Chai Song still remembered seeing this young man in the teahouse in Qijia City. At that time, he felt that this person was extraordinary, because he was in too much hurry at that time, and he specially sent guards to the teahouse to leave the other party, but he didn't expect to meet here again.

Lin Haotian smiled and arched his hand and said, "General Chai!"

Seeing that the two of them were talking, the cavalry captain's face suddenly changed, and he secretly shouted badly, could he be the one who offended General Chai? Chen Hua looked Lin Haotian up and down again. Then he looked at Chai Song and asked, "General Chai." Do you know each other?"

"I can't talk about acquaintance, but I have a relationship!" Chai Song replied casually, and then asked Lin Haotian: "Have you ever seen the person sent by Ben Shuai?"

"I've seen it!"

"Where is he now?"

"The rebels suddenly mixed in with the city, and the brother was unfortunately killed by the rebels, and we also took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city. ”

"I see!" There was no flaw in Lin Haotian's words, and Chai Song did not doubt him. After being silent for a moment, he suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, Ben Shuai doesn't know your name yet." ”

"In the lower forest Asan. ”

"Where is the little brother from?"

"We are wooden people, and we have come to Jussi to do business. Unexpectedly, he caught up with the rebels. Lin Haotian sighed helplessly as he spoke.

Chai Song nodded, and Zhengse said: "The rebels are about to chase here, if you let the rebels meet, you will be poisoned by the rebels, so let's go to Jinsha City with us!"

"This ......" Of course, Lin Haotian was reluctant to go with the Yan army, and when he was thinking about how to refuse, Chen Hua also spoke: "The rebels are barbaric and ferocious, and you are not a special person, if you let the rebels catch up with you, you will lose more than just horses and money." ”

Lin Haotian rolled his eyes and said, "Okay! Thank you generals." ”

"Hey, little brother doesn't have to be polite. "If you really stand in the position of a third party, the Yan people are indeed much more credible and reliable than the You people, after all, the Yan country is a great country of etiquette, and the You people are not much different from the uncivilized barbarians.

On the way, Chai Song asked Lin Haotian a lot of questions, such as where his family lived in Mudi, whether there was a garrison of the Jin State there, whether the Jin people practiced benevolence or tyranny in Mudi, and what kind of business he did when he came to Youxi, etc.

Lin Haotian replied one by one, and the answers were fluent, just listening to his words, he really knew everything about the wooden land, he was a very pure wooden man, and he could often bring out the unique accent of the wooden man when he spoke.

Following the defeat of Chen Hua's Yan cavalry, Lin Haotian and others rode their horses and galloped, running for twenty miles, and then looking forward, Wan'an Valley was already vaguely visible, at this time Chen Hua ordered to slow down the horse, and the whole army took a temporary rest.

It was finally time to stop and rest, and many of the cavalry had slipped off their horses, and people had taken off their helmets, thrown away their weapons, and sat on the ground gasping for air.

After resting for a while, the soldiers got up again, took off the water bladders on the back of their horses, and were reluctant to take a sip of it, so they fed their horses first.

For cavalrymen, the war horse is their life, and it is better to be hungry and thirsty than to feed the horse first.

Looking at the Yan cavalry feeding the horses, the corners of Lin Haotian's mouth unconsciously provoked, revealing a smile.

He suddenly thought of You Bing, if You Bing encountered this situation, they would definitely not let themselves be thirsty and hungry, people could not hesitate to kill the horses under their crotches, drink horse blood to quench their thirst, and eat horse meat to fill their stomachs. Therefore, since ancient times, You has never produced any cavalry, and the legion of the main battle must be infantry. This is the difference between the You people and the Yan people, the battle between the You people and the Yan people is more like a duel between barbarism and civilization, and it is clear that now barbarism has the upper hand.

He was pondering, Chai Song didn't know when he approached him, and asked puzzledly, "What is the little brother laughing at?"

Lin Haotian did not shy away from saying the difference between You Ren and Yan Ren in his heart.

After listening to his words, Chai Song's eyes lit up. Even Chen Hua and other generals not far away looked at him one after another.

Chai Song said with a smile: "The little brother has analyzed the You people very thoroughly! But then again, the combat power of the You people comes precisely from their barbarism!"

Lin Haotian nodded, agreeing with Chai Song's statement, he changed his words and asked, "General Chai, will your army be able to resist the pursuit of the rebels after arriving in Jinsha City?"

Chai Song smiled bitterly and shook his head. said: "Now, our army has lost all its baggage, and I think about it, it has all fallen into the hands of Youren, and with the little strength of Jinsha City, it can't resist the rebels' large-scale attack no matter what, so ......"

He sighed and didn't finish his words, Lin Haotian continued: "So." has to retreat, and may have to withdraw from Baiyang County, or even withdraw from Bainan County. ”

I don't want to admit my own defeat, but the facts are there, and he can't deny it if he wants to. Chai Song sighed: "Yes, this time I fought with the rebels, and I was defeated, so I can only wait for the time to regroup." Fight to the death with the rebels again. ”

"Retreating is not a good idea, and it will only make the rebels famous in Jussi. People from all over the country have come to vote, and their strength has expanded rapidly, and in the end, even if your army is reorganized, it will be difficult to annihilate the rebels...... "This is Lin Haotian's true thoughts, if he is replaced by the commander of the Yan army. He will definitely fight to the death in Jinsha City, not giving an inch, while resisting the You army, while gathering the garrisons of the Yan army in various places, and then using Jinsha City as a foundation, and then counterattacking back. Don't give You Jun a chance to become bigger.

However, halfway through his words, seeing the surprise in Chai Song's eyes, Lin Haotian realized that he had lost his words, and he said with a smile: "Although I have never read a military book, I still understand some truths." ”

Chai Song retracted his gaze and said quietly: "How can this commander not know that retreating is not a good strategy, it's just that now that the rebels are winning, our army is difficult to resist, and there is no way to choose to retreat!"

Lin Haotian shook his head secretly, the Yan people are very strange, their combat power is not weak, but they like to fight riskless battles, they like to fight more and less, bully the weak with the strong, and crush the opponent with absolutely superior forces.

To put it bluntly, the Yan people are used to winning the game and are used to controlling the overall trend of the war, but how can the war always be smooth, once they are in adversity, the Yan people lack the fighting spirit and courage to fight to the death with the enemy.

For Lin Haotian, learning more about the fighting habits of the Yan people will also be conducive to the future conquest of the Yan country by the Jin State.

The rest time was not long, and there were spies behind him who quickly reported back, saying that You Jun had already chased and killed.

Chen Hua's face changed suddenly, he didn't dare to delay the time, and hurriedly ordered the officers and men of the whole army to continue on their way.

When they passed through Wan'an Valley, the sky had already darkened, and seeing that Yan Jun was going to pass through the valley directly, Lin Haotian secretly shook his head again.

He had a good impression of Chai Song, and deliberately instructed him: "General Chai, Wan'an Valley is a rare and dangerous place, as long as there are small groups of soldiers and horses occupying the peaks on both sides, even if the enemy has thousands of troops and horses, it will be difficult to pass through Wan'an Valley. ”

The implication of his words was straightforward enough, reminding Chai Song that now he should quickly allocate a part of his forces to act as dead soldiers and occupy the peaks on both sides of Wan'an Valley, even if he can't kill or injure many You troops, at least he can drag down the speed at which You Jun pursues and kills them.

But Chai Song obviously didn't understand the sound of his words, but also laughed at You Ren's lack of consideration, he nodded his head, snorted coldly, and said: "Yes, although the rebels defeated our army by luck this time, they also did not consider that our army would retreat from Wan'an Valley, if You Army can set up an ambush here in advance, our army will really be wiped out." ”

Lin Haotian couldn't help but roll his eyes, You Ren didn't expect it, then you can't think of it now? He sighed lightly and said no more.

To make a long story short, Lin Haotian and others followed the Yan army overnight, and finally arrived in Jinsha City in the early morning of the next day, Chai Song originally wanted to invite Lin Haotian to accompany him, but he politely refused, Yan Jun had not escaped from Jinsha City, Lin Haotian had already taken Wang Han, Shao Lin and others to leave first.

There were no words all the way, and after a while, Lin Haotian and his party returned to Liuhe.

At the same time that Lin Haotian returned to Liuhe, the 10th Army Corps commanded by Lu You also happened to arrive at Youxi, and then, the You army regrouped, gathered the garrisons in various places, and soon formed an army of up to 250,000 troops.

It's just that in just over a month, the rebel forces with Nie Shu became famous, and the people of Yussi came to vote one after another, and their strength grew rapidly, and their strength expanded from the original 70,000 or 80,000 to more than 100,000.

In addition, due to the covert assistance of the Jin State, the You Army has sufficient money and food, and the armament is neat, coupled with the Yin Kai to govern the army, so that the current You Army has a reborn and new feeling, which is not the same as the previous rebel army.

Under the command of Lu You, Yu Youxi fought three large-scale battles with Youxi, but although the Yan army did not lose in these three wars, it did not take advantage, and the Yan army and the You army began to enter a short stalemate stage in Youxi.

His own army was unfavorable in Youxi's battle, and he was unable to quell the rebellion for a long time, but made the rebels' power bigger and bigger, and the Yanguo court also felt a headache, and in desperation, Yin Xiang sent Yang Zhao to lead the third and fourth armies to Youxi, and formed a flanking attack on the rebels with Lu You.

The third and fourth legions commanded by Yang Zhao can be regarded as the core legions of the Yan army, and their combat power is among the best even in the entire Yan army. At this moment, Yin Xiang sent Yang Zhao out, and it could be seen from it that she was really in a hurry now, and she was very dissatisfied with Lu You, who was fighting in front.

Yang Zhao and Lu You, the two famous generals of the Yan State, joined forces to exterminate the rebels, and the total number of troops under their command exceeded 400,000. (To be continued......)
