Chapter 340: Life and Death Pursuit
In the forbidden army array, Li Yuan waved his leather whip and whipped the hips of the big black horse, and ordered loudly: "Bite the enemy army, don't let them get away!" ”
Nearly four hundred cavalry of the forbidden army continued to chase after the cavalry of the Zhennan Army like a wind, biting their tails tightly. Until he was a few feet away from the valley mouth, someone reminded Li Yuan in the rear: "Generalissimo, you can't chase it, out of the valley mouth is the camp of the Zhennan Army, and it will be dangerous to chase it again." ”
Li Yuan held his breath and continued to shout: "Don't stop, rush over and kill the rebels!" Rush! ”
The soldiers naturally obeyed the order, and drove the war horses under the seat to chase frantically, and Li Yuan had a plan in his heart, at this time, taking advantage of the geographical advantage to bluff, if the enemy gave up the pursuit before leaving the valley, the other party would probably react, at this moment of life and death pursuit, only by biting the tail of the cavalry of the Zhennan Army could they escape in a hurry without thinking.
Song Majie really couldn't think too much about the intentions of the forbidden army now, because he had no time to take care of it, especially when he passed by the place where Jiang Kai and his party died, he whipped his mount several times. Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, who knows if there will be a sudden rain of arrows on the cliff? Therefore, he could only lead the crowd to run desperately outside the valley mouth.
The sound of hooves rumbled, the smoke and dust covered the sun, and Li Xu Zhiyao almost reached the end in the blink of an eye, and Song Majie's soldiers and horses rushed out of the south pass of the valley, and suddenly became even more uncontrollable like wild beasts running all over the mountains. Although Song Majie did not dare to organize a U-turn counterattack, after running out of the valley, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the soldiers and horses of his men who had escaped scattering and fleeing.
Song Majie and the remnants of more than 500 horsemen ran wildly all the way, until someone reminded him that the forbidden army behind him did not chase after him, then he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped, looking at the sparsely scattered and half of the pro-riders around him, a huge sense of humiliation arose, and Song Majie couldn't wait to slap himself a few more mouths.

"Don't blame yourself for the young marshal, it's not that the young marshal is not brave, it's really that the forbidden army is too cunning!" A partial general stepped forward to comfort.
"That's it, hurry back to the camp and straighten out the soldiers and horses! After that, you will send someone back to the valley mouth to reconnoitre, find out the movements of the forbidden army after leaving the valley, and report it quickly. Song Maha shouted.
The general nodded hurriedly in agreement, turned around and muttered secretly: "At this time, I want to know the movement of the forbidden army, and when I left the valley, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to go back, of course I don't know where the forbidden army went." What the hell ......?"
It is said that after the cavalry of the forbidden army rushed out of the valley, they were divided into two teams, and Li Yuan ordered Fu Hong to lead two hundred cavalry in sheep clothing to pursue and defeat the fleeing enemy, but it was only sheep clothing, in fact, it was chasing farther and farther. The purpose of this was to maintain pressure on the cavalry of the Zhennan Army and drive them farther away. Of course, if it is really desperately pursued, in case the other party turns around and fights for his life, and then finds that the forbidden army is actually at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers, it will be self-defeating.
Li Yuan himself led the remaining cavalry to guard in front of the valley mouth, waiting for Fu Hong to return all the way in front. After all, this place is too close to the camp of the Zhennan Army, and you may encounter the soldiers and horses of the Zhennan Army wandering outside to inspect the camp.
But after the tea time, when he saw the figure of Fu Hong and his party galloping at the mouth of the valley, Li Yuan was completely relieved, Fu Hong is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, he has always ordered and forbidden, and he is not reckless and arbitrary, and he chased to the Zhennan Army camp 500 steps away and evacuated at the first time.
After the team was assembled, Li Yuan ordered the whole army to march eastward, quickly withdrew to the forbidden army camp, and those who lost their horses rode in pairs, although the horses were too heavy to go far, but at this time time time was very precious, and they must stay away from this place immediately. The sentinel reported that the Zhennan army had recovered and was assembling, and had sent people to the valley to investigate, and there seemed to be signs of turning back, and at this time they couldn't care about whether the horses were dead or alive.
The soldiers and horses hurried eastward along the cramped valley, and after an hour or two of fighting, the excitement of the soldiers passed, and they looked extremely tired. The hot sweat on his body was blown by the cold north wind, and his face was pale and shivering with cold.
On the way back to the camp, he passed through the desolate mountains all the way, until he left the valley and went to the east, there were no tall peaks around, some were just rolling hills and low slopes, and the desolate land overgrown with barren grass, and the majestic forbidden army company camp in front of him stood impressively, Li Yuan was completely relieved in his heart, because with the current state of soldiers, it was impossible to experience another big battle.
But in general, from today's battle, Li Yuan also observed the strength of Fu Hong's Xiongwu soldiers, Fu Hong really did not boast, not only the execution is amazing, but the combat power and endurance are also first-class, ambush and garrison charges switch freely, and there are very few mistakes in the battle, which is indeed beyond Li Yuan's expectations, you must know that when the western expedition to attack Langzhou last year, the chaotic Xiongwu army at that time was not the appearance of today's elite division under Zhou Ben.
Fu Hong rode his horse to catch up with Li Yuan's horse head from the rear, he was entrusted by Li Yuanzhi to go to the rear of the team to check the enemy's situation, without waiting for Li Yuan to ask, Fu Hong said: "Generalissimo, the Zhennan army did not chase after it, the sentry just wandered around the valley mouth for a while and left, it is estimated that we were scared haha!" ”
"It's hard work for Fu to command the army, let's go back to the camp to rest." Li Yuan smiled.
"This is the last thing to do! By the way, Generalissimo, I have something to report to you. Fu Hong said in a low voice: "Do you remember that kid named Huang Daoquan, when we were busy fighting just now, he actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sneak away, but thanks to the two soldiers guarding the guard, they were conscientious and resolute, and they followed all the way to knock this kid back again...... The last generalissimo, would you like to take this kid-"
Seeing Fu Hong secretly gesture with a knife in his hand, Li Yuan suddenly exhaled a breath of turbidity, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Isn't this person thinking about going back to the forbidden army camp to report his merits, why did he run away?" ”
"I don't know about this. But Generalissimo, does this man really want to bring him back to the camp? With his broken mouth, if he slanders the reputation of His Royal Highness King Yan, we can't afford it. The seller seeks glory, and the last general suggests that he be killed with a knife. ”
Li Yuan did not hesitate and sneered: "Don't worry, just ask someone to plug his mouth, can't our 200,000 army still look at a broken mouth?" How can the reputation of the royal family be easily tarnished by a despicable villain? Didn't he want to see His Highness, and when he returned to the camp, the marshal immediately satisfied him and took him directly to His Highness's tent, fulfilling his wish. ”
Fu Hong suddenly understood, and left with a loud voice to give an order, and soon seven or eight cavalrymen left the team, deliberately waiting around a yellow horse to slowly escort forward, carrying Huang Daoquan who was covered in five flowers and fainted to death on horseback, and the forbidden army camp under the remnant sun in front seemed to be like a giant beast with an open mouth, ready to bite people with ulterior motives......
