"Just now, this guy shot in a round of riding, and I lost nearly half of the pioneer battalion, I must file him to ashes."

Zhao Zetian said angrily.

"You're right, it's just that the two of us still underestimate him, and don't see that he is fighting and retreating, and he doesn't love war at all?"

Li Zhongshan said with a puzzled expression.

"How is this possible? He's close at hand now, and as long as we take these people down, then his life will be in our hands. ”

Zhao Zetian was also a little dazed by Li Yue's beating, and commanded his vanguard battalion and infantry to continue to advance regardless of it.

In the jungle, the effect of the fire gun is more prominent than in the plains.

"Bang...... Bang......"

Round after round of cavalry shooting, the pioneer battalion, which originally had a few hundred people, was left with only a dozen or so, and they were withdrawn from the barracks.

And Zhao Zetian, who had 20,000 infantry, was also beaten by Li Yue in this way, and he was dizzy.

"You slippery guy like a loach, I don't believe I can't catch you, aren't there thousands of people? I'll fence you up. ”

Zhao Tianze, who was angry, commanded the people around him to quickly close to Li Yue's position.

At this moment, Li Yue fled all the way north with 2,000 firecrackers, and the speed was staggering.

"Two horses for one person, change them when you are tired of running, remember, you can't be too fast, if you throw them off, it will be a waste."

Li Yue shouted loudly, and at the same time, two thousand firecrackers divided into four groups and fled north from four directions.

At this time, Zhao Zetian's 20,000 elite soldiers had not yet been encircled, so Li Yue escaped from the encirclement.

At the same time, Li Zhongshan led the heavy infantry all the way north.

Without the blessing of the cavalry, the heavy infantry was like a turtle crawling, and Li Yue could not be seen at all.

"I'm so angry, 2,000 cavalry is all my family, I didn't expect it! In this way, he was defeated by Li Yue's firearms. ”

Li Zhongshan said bitterly.

At this moment, a scout hurried from a distance.

"Lord General Soldier, I saw Li Yue placing his baggage and tens of thousands of displaced people on a plain in the north fifty miles."

The scout said breathlessly.

"What? It turned out that was his base camp, only fifty miles away? That's great, I'm sure I'll be able to keep him there tonight. ”

Li Zhongshan said excitedly.

"But Lord Commander, the terrain is very treacherous, with a long and narrow passage, with hills on one side and swamps on the other."

The scout said worriedly.

"Hills, swamps...... There are only slightly higher hills in these two places where you can set up ambushes, and you take a team of people to explore the hills. ”

Li Zhongshan said nervously.

Hearing this, the scout did not hesitate at all, and immediately took more than ten people and headed for fifty miles away.

At this moment, Zhao Zetian led 20,000 elite soldiers and had already chased after Li Yue's retreating route.

After a while, Zhao Zetian's 20,000 elite soldiers and Li Zhongshan's 20,000 heavy armored infantry converged.

"Brother Li, the spies came to report that Li Yue had built a big camp on a plain twenty miles away, and that it should be his lair."

Zhao Zetian said excitedly.

"I've known for a long time, but the way to the camp is through a narrow passage, with hills on one side and swamps on the other."

Li Zhongshan said with a solemn face.

"Brother Li means that Li Yue will set up an ambush on the hill, and when we pass, he will cut off our heads and tails?"

Zhao Zetian said with a gloomy face.

"That's right, or would he dare to set up a big camp there and wait for us to attack?"

Li Zhongshan said with a sneer.

"So what are we waiting for? Hurry up and retreat, if it is really like what Brother Li said, he has an ambush there, we will be finished. ”

Zhao Zetian said with a frightened face.

Hearing this, Li Zhongshan was also a little bitter.

He clearly felt that this was a good place to ambush, but he had to keep going.

After all, his mother is still in the hands of the other party.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I have arranged for people to go to the high ground to check, if not, then we will send troops to guard here."

Li Zhongshan looked calm, as if everything was under his control, and he was not afraid of Li Yue setting up an ambush at all.

"What, are we still going to go up? Obviously there is a trap there, and if that's the case, then all of your and my soldiers will be lost here. ”

Zhao Zetian's face was pale and sad.

"Don't worry, I still have 10,000 elite soldiers in Huai'an City, and now I will let them pour out of the nest, plus the rest of the counties have 30,000 soldiers, guarding the hills."

Li Zhongshan looked like he was winning.

Hearing this, Zhao Zetian was shocked, and he didn't expect that Li Zhongshan would hide so many troops.

"If that's the case, then Brother Li, I'll raise another 15,000 people to guard the hill with you."

Zhao Zetian said indifferently.

At this time, Li Zhongshan also knew what Zhao Zetian meant, but he was afraid that after Li Yue was destroyed, he would become a prey.

"Brother Zhao, if that's the case, then it's great, we are almost ten times the enemy now, one way from under the hill to the camp, the other way to the high hill, in order to settle the situation."

Li Zhongshan sneered, thinking in his heart that Li Yue would definitely not have thought that they would have so many troops at this moment, and they could occupy the place where they were originally going to set up an ambush.

"Haha, Brother Li, I think Li Yue Xiao'er originally wanted to use his big camp as bait and set up an ambush on the hills, but now he can't."

Zhao Zetian said loudly with a smug look on his face.

But at this time, Li Zhongshan seemed a little distracted, after all, the manpower had been arranged, and everything was in order.

"I always feel that Li Yue's kid is not that simple, but I can't say what's wrong...... It doesn't matter, I'll see what else he does. ”

Li Zhongshan smiled indifferently and no longer paid attention to the worried thoughts in his heart

At this time, the scouts who had been sent out also came back and recounted the whole hill.

And a high mountain behind the hill simply illustrates the situation.

After Li Zhongshan heard this, he was still a little worried, but when he heard that the mountain was steep and not suitable for setting up an ambush at all, he didn't take it seriously, and hurriedly began to mobilize all the elite soldiers who could be mobilized in Huainan Mansion.

This time, Zhao Zetian and Li Zhongshan mobilized a total of nearly 100,000 people, known as 300,000 troops.

At this time, Li Zhongshan had already sunk his 30,000 elite soldiers on the hills.

Coupled with Zhao Zetian's 10,000 soldiers and logistics supply personnel, nearly 50,000 people camped on the high hill.

A day later, when 50,000 men had been completely stationed on the high hills, the remaining 40,000 or so began to march through the narrow passage.

On the hill, Li Zhongshan looked at the camp where Li Yue was located in the distance.

"I didn't expect it! I'm going to have so many people, huh, I'm going to see what you do with me. ”

Li Zhongshan said confidently.
