When Xu Lang led 5,000 light cavalry to Luocheng Ferry, sure enough, there was not a single soldier guarding it. Only, to their equally annoyance, there were no boats.

"But how is this good?"

Xu Lang looked at the smoke curling on the other side, and it was a mess.

It is evident that there had been a large army on the other side of the river last night, and that they had left in a hurry in the morning.

"General, there is an old man who wants to see the general!"

Just when he was secretly distressed, a sergeant brought an old man.

This old man is also in rags, but he is not Zheng Baye.

I saw him carefully walk a few steps in front of Xu Lang and stand still, and make a gesture to Xu Lang.

"Uncle, do you want to see me?"

Xu Lang was very surprised, and before he could speak, he had already asked himself.

"Master Jun, exactly, exactly."

The old man was a little afraid, but seeing that Xu Lang's face was still immature, he must not be very old, and his smile was harmless, obviously, he should not be like those fierce officers and soldiers yesterday.

With that, he took out a small note from his bosom with trembling hands.

Xu Lang immediately took it and unfolded it to take a look, but it was left by Zheng Baye.

Because Zheng Baye didn't know which way people would chase him, he didn't have anything to say when he looked up. In the note, Zheng Baye said that he and Bai Yunzhen, the head of Longhu Mountain, had crossed the river, and they would bite the great prince tightly, hoping that whether it was Xu Lang or Ling Yue, they would chase after him quickly, and don't miss the opportunity to save General Li Ziyu.

"Uncle, are there any ships available here? Shall I give you silver? ”

Xu Lang finished reading the letter and asked the old man.

"This, back to the military master, this is gone. Our ships were forcibly taken away by those military masters yesterday! This morning, the two masters still stepped on a plank and flew over the water. ”

The old man had a bitter face, and this expression did not seem to be fake at all.

"Hehe, I see. Thank you, uncle! ”

As soon as Xu Lang heard it, he also understood. It must have been the great prince who forcibly requisitioned all the civilian ships in this vicinity, and in order not to be used again, he had destroyed the ships, and most of the smoke was used by them to destroy the ships and burn them.

This method is really unusual!

Xu Lang sighed slightly.

Now, if you rush to build a ship, it will definitely be too late. And to wait for Wei Dayong's naval army to come up, obviously, it will be delayed a lot. Moreover, there are only Zheng Baye and the two in front, which is always reassuring.

"Come on, tie up the trees in a row, and hurry across the river."

Xu Lang didn't hesitate any longer, although it was too late to build a ship, it shouldn't take much effort to nail a few wooden rows.

"Yes!"

The sergeants immediately dismounted and went their separate ways.

Around noon, the wooden platoon was finally ready, but Xu Lang himself had already crossed the river with the guard camp. At the same time, the rear foot riders also gradually arrived at the ferry.

……

A close-knit chase is unfolding.

The great prince who was quite wise, at that time, had already thrown off Zheng Baye and the rear army he left behind for a long distance, and was walking safely towards Huarong Road.

"Your Highness, if everything goes well, I will wait for a few days before we can reach Yiling City."

Tang Hu looked behind him and said with a smile.

"Well, no matter how powerful Ling Yue and Xu Lang are, I'm afraid I wouldn't expect this Shizi to make such a risky plan. As long as they get to Deyiling, what can they do to me? ”

Da Shizi nodded, his expression was quite conceited.

"Alas, it's just that those two thousand brothers, I don't know if I can catch up."

Tang Hu sighed.

"Sacrifice the pawn to protect the handsome, the same is true of the ancients, Ci, not in charge of the army!"

Da Shizi said coldly, his eyes instantly indifferent.

For him, what is it to be able to escape safely, and how many people die? Even General Peng, who has relied on him for many years, can be abandoned, let alone these two thousand soldiers? Besides, if the ships at the Luocheng ferry are destroyed, the enemy will want to chase after them, how easy is it to talk about it? These two thousand soldiers may not be unsafe.
