After surrendering the second battalion of the Han army on behalf of the north, Zhang Chong continued to hurry with the army.

At this time, the sky seemed to open the floodgates and poured down. Inevitably, there was a huge disadvantage to the march of the Taishan army.

It is difficult for the team to maintain the formation, and even if the military discipline restricts, the team is still inevitably scattered. The same was true of the cavalry, who all chose to dismount and pull on the reins, but even so, the horses could not advance against the torrential rain.

Officials at all levels have been standing on the side of the road, constantly inspiring the soldiers to move forward bravely.

Before going out to battle, the base camp gave orders to all armies, and the commanders who fell behind more than half of the team should not do it, and go directly to start with the vanguard soldiers.

When a large corps fights, military discipline must be strict. Relying on the usual fear of military law and sufficient clothing, the army is constantly advancing, although it is difficult.

This road is not stable, because the retreat of the Zhenbei army is not without a price, that is, there are many dead soldiers.

There was even a 500-strong Hun cavalry unit that escaped as a whole, and later hid in a small stream six miles east of Dingting because they got lost, and they also knew to avoid the Taishan army.

But they were soon discovered by the cruising Li Hu's Flying Dragon Army and blocked the back road, and then his troops and Xu Huang's Flying Tiger Army launched an attack on this Xiongnu dead army.

At a position close to Dingxian, Li Hu and Xu Huang respectively commanded their headquarters to attack from the north and south fronts.

Due to the impact of the torrential rain, the vision of both sides was greatly obstructed.

Xu Huang led the Flying Tiger Army to form a dense arrow formation, impacting the Huns. At this time, he was quite a horse, the slurry rolled on the military uniform, and the raindrops of beans smashed on the pocket, but he still couldn't extinguish Xu Huang's blood.

He used to do it when he was fighting at night in Sanheting, but at that time he suffered a big loss, and he was rushed by the elite Bai Ma Yi of the Han army, and the loss was not small.

So this time, Xu Huang wanted to collect some interest on these Huns.

At this time, the Hun cavalry also rushed out of the tent and began to launch a counter-charge against Xu Huang on the horses of Wuyang and Wuyang.

But the result was cruel, and in addition to bringing death to themselves, this charge of the Huns ended up being Xu Huang's prisoner.

The rest of the Huns scattered in a hurry, and they were about to cross the stream to the north. Only a Hun knight who looked like a noble chief was left to complain in the rain:

"Return, warriors, will you also turn your backs on me?"

But these Hun knights did not stop at all, and completely turned their backs on the responsibility of a steppe warrior to protect the chieftain.

But no matter how unethical the generals are, they also use a group of people who are willing to die for him, and this little Hun chief is no exception.

But after Xu Huang caught up with the Flying Tiger Army, all this loyalty and courage turned into Xu Huang's exploits.

And the remnants of the Huns who retreated to the north also encountered the Flying Dragon Army waiting here.

Under the leadership of Li Hu, the Flying Dragon Army entered the rushing stream and generally attacked in a wide front, and the Hun cavalry could only continue to roll down from the war horses, either being hacked to death or being trampled into meat mud by the war horses to moisten this river beach.

The retreat of the Hun cavalry was so complete that many people were killed by the Taishan army before they could enter the battle state.

Li Hu cut down a Xiongnu chief who looked like he had some identity, and the soldiers next to him jumped off his horse and cut off this person's ear, which had a thick gold ring hanging on his ear, showing his extraordinary identity.

Li Hu glanced at it and said to Hu Bing:

"Cut off this head, and ask a few Huns in the back to see if it is a character."

Hu Bing sighed, and neatly cut off his head and strung it in his horse pocket.

On the battlefield, the battle continued, but this was a one-sided massacre of the Hun cavalry by the Taishan army. Under the majestic heavy rain, on the battlefield full of mud, the Taishan army chased the dead and chased the north.

At this time, there is no need to form a formation, the Huns have completely lost their fear, and the Taishan army only needs to catch up with it on horseback and then come with a knife.

In this battle, the two armies of Flying Dragon and Flying Tiger fought very comfortably, and the unhappiness brought by this rainstorm was completely vented.

Although at this time, their original crimson military uniforms were no longer recognizable, and everyone had black mud on their faces, but their faces were full of pride, but they couldn't hide it.

In addition to leaving more than 100 prisoners, this Xiongnu army was completely annihilated by the Flying Dragon and Flying Tiger Army. Then they took the head full of horses to report to Zhang Chong.

And the foot lancers marching along the road cheered and boasted when they saw that the cavalry had won another great victory.

From this point of view, the military strength of the Taishan Army is still very usable.

In fact, this time Zhang Chong was very unlucky. Because of this heavy rain, the time that Zhang Chong had won by forcing the Han army to land was consumed.

Although it is a straight road, it is also full of potholes at this time because it has not been repaired for a long time. After a torrential rain, it is even more waterlogged, how can the speed of marching on such a road be fast.

So when Li Hu and Xu Huang came back, they saw that the various departments were looking for places to hide from the rain and recuperate. This is Zhang Chong's latest military order.

From our point of view, the retreat of the Han army was also a mess, and no blocking or logistics were arranged. Had it not been for this heavy rain, Zhang Chong might have been able to catch up with them and cut off and annihilate the rear of the Han army.

So after traveling for half a day, the cavalry released had been released fifteen miles away, but there was still no shadow of the Han army.

Even if it is a man who is determined to win the day, Zhang Chong said to Xun You in frustration:

"The world depends on both man and God, it seems that God is not standing with me this time."

Xun You saw that Zhang Chong was a little depressed, and hurriedly persuaded:

"Although the world depends on God's help, in the end, it depends on man-made. Although Wang Shangyu's pursuit did not catch the enemy's tail, it must have exceeded the enemy's expectations. They thought that we would not march in the rain, and that they would inevitably misestimate the time when our troops would arrive at the battlefield. ”

Zhang Chong nodded, agreeing with Xun You's meaning, so he asked the various departments to find a place to rest and camp one after another, and wait for tomorrow to start again.

So when Li Hu and Xu Huang returned, the ministries had already begun to look for shelters to set up tents.

The horses snorted in the rain after a fierce charge, and if they were not dried in time, they would soon fall ill.

Therefore, the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army immediately found an abandoned dock wall, where the most delicate war horses were served first, and then they began to raise the fire and test their clothes.

At the same time, there is also a battalion headquarters of the Zhonghu Army on this dock wall, and when they learned that the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army had won another battle, or fought with the Huns, they all came over curiously.

Many of them have never seen the Huns, which will be a good look at the living.

Of course, more importantly, the battalion of the Chinese Protector will be called Changfeng. Before, when he saw the horsemen entering the dock wall, the horses had their heads around their necks, so he made up his mind.

It's not that he dares to compete with Li Hu and Xu Huang, neither of these two can be provoked by Chang Xuan.

Chang Feng wanted to come and exchange, he happened to have a lot of dry firewood here, and he had just boiled ginger tea, these things were all needed by the turks.

Use these, exchange a dozen heads, don't be greedy.

After Li Hu learned that Chang Feng was coming, he just thought about it for a while and agreed, after all, there are so many heads, it doesn't hurt to go out a few, those materials are in short supply.

So, with the help of the Changfeng Army, the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army quickly supported the firewood, changed into clean military uniforms, and wrapped them in warm blankets.

Even Chang Feng brought Li Hu and Xu Huang drinks, which were suitable for warming up.

At this moment, Li Hu and the others somewhat understood why an arrogant person like Chang Feng could always gain a firm foothold in the Zhonghu Army, and they originally thought that it was because of the forbidden, but now it seems that this gentleman will come to something.

With the supply of the Central Protector, the Commandos can finally rest comfortably.

But after Li Hu and Xu Huang explained their military affairs, they were ready to leave in the rain. The two of them were to go to a manor house a mile away, where the Chinese army was stationed. They were there to report on the results they had just won.

Therefore, after the two drank ginger tea, they took a sip of wine in their mouths, put on their robes and rode to the Chinese army.

Zhang Chong's manor is a powerful property in Shangquyang, because he was afraid of the Taishan army, so he had long abandoned the house and fled.

This manor is one of the most ornate in the neighborhood, so it is natural that it was used as a camping place for Zhang Chong.

From the area and layout of this manor, it can be seen that the original owner was also a simple person, and when he wanted to come to Zhaoye, he was also a blue thread, difficult and hard. But looking at the interior, it is gorgeous and noisy, and it seems that the descendants have forgotten the simplicity of their ancestors.

When Li Hu and Xu Huang entered the manor, there were people coming and going, either the officials of the Chinese army were cleaning up the manor, or they were about to go out to convey the military orders with the latest military orders.

In the most crowded place, the two met Zhang Chong.

At this time, Zhang Chong was sitting on a pile of hay and eating dried horse meat while listening to the reports of the staff, some of them reported on the situation of military reserves, some reported on the location of the tribal camp of who had just been obtained, and some military reports were sent from Yecheng and Handan, all of which were waiting for Zhang Chong to deal with them.

In the face of these complicated military and government affairs, Zhang Chong is handy. His extraordinary physical strength and super memory make him have his own views on everything, and the military orders arranged are also interlocking.

It is also the existence of a strongman like Zhang Chong, even now, the Chinese army maintains a strong control over various departments. For example, where the various departments are stationed now is all in Zhang Chong's mind.

Therefore, a shrewd and capable person will be very comfortable doing things by Zhang Chong's side, because he can always get effective feedback on the king's side.

But it is difficult for a clandestine to stay with a strong person like Zhang Chong, because it is too terrifying. The reason for your prevarication will always be pierced by Zhang Chong with fine data and previous reports.

The staff of the Chinese army is running efficiently, and a military newspaper is constantly being sent out. In this way, this small manor mastered and dispatched nearly 40,000 troops within a radius of ten miles.

Li Hu and Xu Huang have not dared to speak since they came, and they have been stupid by this efficient rhythm at this time. The two of them usually bring a 500 cavalry army, and they already feel that scheduling and management is a difficult thing, but here in the king, they are like fingers, and all kinds of situations are like palm prints.

Especially Xu Huang, he already has the ambition to be a big marshal, and he has been learning from the experience of fighting in a large corps on weekdays. He is also lucky, since joining the Taishan army, almost every battle has not fallen. This has greatly tempered Xu Huang's awareness and vision of war.

But now seeing the appearance of the king, Xu Huang realized that he still had too much to learn.

At this time, an order soldier rushed from the side of the corridor, and when he saw that the king was busy, he hurried to the side of the marching commander Shi Hekui.

He opened the yellow satin he was carrying behind his back, revealing the sandalwood box inside, with a feather painted on it, and a fire stamp of the sigil.

He Kui knew that it was Zhang Dan's seal as soon as he saw the fire stamp, and hurriedly took the wooden box.

The soldier came in the rain all the way, soaking wet and exuding mist. When he saw that the task was complete, he prepared to respectfully retreat.

At this time, from the innermost part of the crowd, a sentence emerged:

"Xiao Xu, go to the side porch and use ginger tea."

This is Zhang Chong's voice.

This is called Xiao Xu, who was previously recommended by Langya to enter the Yecheng Martial Arts Academy. At this time, he was in charge of reporting the military situation as Zhang Dan's subordinate to the Chinese army.

When Xu Sheng heard this voice, he was very excited, he didn't expect that the king would take the time to care about him when he was so busy, and he didn't expect that the king would know his name.

He held back his excitement, gave a military salute, and then retreated from the side porch to drink ginger tea.

Xiao Xu drank this ginger tea, his whole body was warm, and he felt that he had endless energy.

And after Xu Sheng retreated, He Kui had already opened the fire seal and read the contents of the letter, and then handed it to Zhang Chong.

Zhang Chong looked here, and said to He Kui:

"Shulong, what do you think about this?"

He Kui did not hesitate:

The military report sent by Adan said that there were a large number of Hejian soldiers and Bohai soldiers who were rushing north. This must have been ordered by Lu Zhi to let these soldiers and horses go north to join him. ”

Zhang Chong nodded, agreeing with this view.

He shouted from Guo Zu outside:

"Youtu."

Then Guo Zu brought the Mazha from behind the haystack and laid the map he carried with him.

Zhang Chong asked He Kui and Xun You:

"From Zhang Dan's report, Lu Zhi definitely didn't want to run back to Youzhou, he should want to gather troops to fight me. So it's a good thing for us, not afraid that he is going to fight, just afraid that he is going to run. This Lu Zhi can also run, and he has run twice. This time he must not be allowed to run away again. ”

Then he asked He Kui and Xun You:

"But now I'm not sure where he's trying to fight me. Do you guys have an idea? ”

He Kui didn't speak, or Xun Yu said first.

As a top military talent in the staff of the Chinese army, Xun You does have an opinion on this issue.

He pointed to a location on the map, which was the Zhongren Pavilion.

Zhang Chong did not express his position, and continued to listen to Xun You:

"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, Lu Zhi wants to fight a decisive battle with us. And if you want to fight a decisive battle, the most suitable place north of Zhongshan is Zhongren Pavilion. Zhongren Pavilion was originally the capital of Zhongshan people, and the reason why its country is called Zhongshan seems to be because of the geographical situation of this Zhongren Pavilion, he is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is no lack of vast space for the decisive battle of the large army. Therefore, I thought that if Lu Zhi wanted to fight, it must be the Zhongren Pavilion. ”

Zhang Chong asked rhetorically:

"Does Lu Zhi have to fight us in Zhongshan? Is it possible for him to return to Youzhou? ”

At this time, He Kui shook his head and said:

"No, because if Lu Zhi wants to leave Jizhou, then the Han soldiers in Hejian and Bohai will not turn to help him."

Zhang Chong bowed his head and supported this judgment.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Chong ordered:

"Order: 'Zhang Dan, your troops must closely pursue the Han army's partial division, and must intercept their troops to prevent them from merging with Lu Zhi's main force.'"

After speaking, Zhang Chong ordered two rampagers to bring this order to Zhang Dan together with Xu Sheng, who had just arrived.

After dealing with this, Zhang Chong began to deal with other military affairs, busy and compact.
