Chapter 281: Trade-offs
At this moment, how could Li Yue let Yao Xiang go?
The army held on to the death and pursued it south along the Yishui.
Li Yue ordered each battalion to pursue and kill on their own, and be sure to capture and kill Yao Xiang, Shi Kun, and Xun Xian.
The soldiers faithfully carried out Li Yue's orders and followed closely behind the rout.
Along the way, the Jin army continued to come to resist, and the Black Cloud Army had already entered a state of excitement and was defeated by a single blow.
From Tanxian County to Xiapi, he pursued and killed for several days, capturing nearly 10,000 people, and capturing 60,000 or 70,000 Qiang and Jin people.
Even if Yao Xiang can escape, he is afraid that he will never recover.
The Jin army and Yao Xiang's army became frightened birds, and Xun Xian deployed a small number of troops in Xiapi, but he retreated to Huaiyin.
Yao Xiang had been disabled, and seeing that the Black Cloud Army was like a rainbow, he abandoned the city and followed Xun Xian south to Huaiyin.
Li Yuexian didn't care about Xiapi, he bit Yao Xiang and Xun Xian to death, but he happened to find Shi Kun's traces, Yao Xiang was disabled in this battle, Xun Xian was scared, but Shi Kun was missing.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed.
The only thing that can pose a threat to the Black Cloud Army is Shi Kun, and if they are not eliminated, the Black Cloud Army will be threatened at any time.
When the Black Cloud Army saw the people on the opposite side, they were murderous.
Constant victories pushed their morale to the top, and although they were tired, their spirits were extremely high.
Li Yue was originally a little worried, after all, Shi Kun also had twenty or thirty thousand elite people.
But he didn't expect Shi Kun to run away as soon as he saw the Black Cloud Army.
In the Battle of Tanxian County, it was not only the Southern Army, the Volunteer Army, and the Jin Army that were shocked, but also Shi Kun.
Xun Xian and Yao Xiang have all run away, how can he stay behind and fight to the death?
Xu Cheng led the cavalry battalion to take the lead and rushed towards the enemy.
The army was immediately divided into two parts, and Liang Xiao led the forward battalion to catch up.
The people of the year dominated the world under the command of Shile, and if there was divine help, the victories laid the foundation for Zhao.
However, after Shi Hu's defeat in attacking Thorn City, coupled with Ma Qiu's continuous squandering of national strength like a loser, he also encountered Liang Qian's rebellion in the middle, and the Qian people killed each other, and the national morale had already fallen to the bottom.
Now that he has already become a lost dog, how can he still have the courage to fight with the Black Cloud Army at its peak?
Xu Cheng and Liang Xiao rushed over, Gao Yun also led Hei Yunlang to catch up, and the three teams of men and horses were like slaughtering pigs and sheep, and they killed the Qianren army.
Even if some people rose up to resist, the counterattack of hundreds of people could not make any splash, let alone the opponents of Xu Cheng, Liang Xiao, and Gao Yun, which would only provoke the greater ferocity of the Black Cloud Army.
Half an hour later, the wilderness was littered with corpses, and the Surabaya was full of corpses, and the crimson river flowed downstream to Huaiyin......
If the previous battle with Yao Xiang was a bitter battle, then there was only a brutal massacre in front of him.
Meng Kai led the cavalry to come to support, but only glanced at it from a distance, and then retreated.
Let the people be slaughtered by the Black Cloud Army......
"Did you catch Shi Kun?" All the way south, there were more than 20 small battles, but he didn't get a single big fish, Li Yue was quite depressed.
Zhang Shengye said: "Shi Kun led more than 1,000 horsemen to the south to chase Yao Xiang and Xun Xian. ”
"Don't kill all the thieves, don't let anyone go!"
"Command!" The herald ran away with the command flag.
The Black Cloud Army is even more ferocious to the Qianren, and the hatred of the country and family for two or three generations does not allow their subordinates to show mercy.
Shi Kun was killed in a battle of twenty or thirty thousand.
From Surabaya to the south, the road was littered with the corpses of fallen people, whose heads were cut off by the Black Cloud soldiers.
"Both...... Du Du, Yao Xiang and Xun Xian are thirty miles ahead! The scout was panting for breath, but he didn't let up in the slightest.
The hearty victory made everyone forget about the exhaustion of the body.
"Chase!" Li Yue himself was tired, but his body was extremely excited.
The more ruthless this battle is, the more honest Jiangdong will be in the future.
The soldiers chased after each other non-stop, and they could already see the frightened faces of the Qiang people on the opposite side, trampling on each other, and many people were pushed into Surabaya.
The Black Cloud Army let out a sinister laugh from behind.
Seeing that he was about to catch up, on the surface of the Surabaya River, hundreds of sails suddenly appeared, tracing up from the southeast, docking on the north bank, the ships lined up, and the dense rain of arrows covered the sky, throwing them at the Black Cloud Army.
More than 100 people were shot on the spot, hundreds more were injured, and they hurried out of the riverbank.
The Jiangdong Navy came up.
Li Yue's heart was shocked, they are coming, and this chase will not continue.
Looking at Yao Xiang and Shi Kun's army who were panicking south, he secretly said that it was a pity in his heart.
"No, it's not appropriate to chase anymore, quickly, take down Pi, Pengcheng, and Shouchun!" Chang Wei traveled a long way, getting thinner and thinner, and even gasped for breath when he spoke.
Li Yue immediately ordered the collected heads of the Karma Hu to be piled on the north bank of Surabaya, with more than 30 large and small ones, facing Jiangdong.
The army rested for a while, prepared a deer cart for Chang Wei, and then led the army back to Xiapi.
At the beginning of Chu Pei's Northern Expedition, Li Nong only defeated two or three thousand people, and Chu Pei abandoned Pengcheng, Xiapi, Shouchun, Hefei and other important towns and fled back to Jiangdong in panic.
Now Li Yue's big victories far surpass Li Nong.
Chased and killed all the way, at least 40,000 Qiang and Zhuhu died under the Black Cloud Saber.
The ferocious aura permeated the two Huai and shook Jiangdong.
Seeing that the Black Cloud Army had gone and returned, the two thousand defenders of Xiapi had already dispersed in a hurry.
Li Yue entered the city, and ordered Liang Xiao to cross Huai to take Shouchun, and Xu Cheng to take Pengcheng.
These two cities were won, and Li Yue's strategic concept was basically completed.
After waiting for two days, the news from the north came back, and during this time, Ran Min won a few more battles, eight battles and eight victories.
Chang Wei frowned, "Since you have won eight battles and eight victories, why are you still in Weichang?" ”
The Black Cloud Army pursued and killed hundreds of miles all the way, and won three battles and three victories, and collected a large amount of land and population.
Ran Min pressed Murong Ke to fight, won eight games in a row, and was still playing in Zhongshan County......
Li Yue smelled a hint of danger, "Maybe the north is about to decide the winner!" ”
Murong Ke either doesn't make a move, and if he does, he will definitely kill Ran Min, and he will not give him a chance to escape back to Yecheng like Xiangguo.
Chang Wei didn't beat around the bush, "Lord Wei is about to fall." ”
I only heard Ran Min's eight battles and eight victories, but I didn't hear the news of Murong Ke's defeat, which was by no means a good sign.
Soon, Dong Yan's secret letter also came, bluntly saying that the situation was not optimistic, there was a lack of food in the army, there was no way to continue, and he killed horses for food.
Yecheng's secret report was even more direct, allowing Li Yue to go north quickly.
"When the matter of the two Huai is completed quickly, there will be drastic changes in the situation in the north." Li Yue couldn't get tired and ordered his soldiers to prepare for the march.
The population of the world is concentrated in Hebei and Jiangdong.
The Murong clan took Hebei and took Yecheng, and Li Yue was not qualified to compete with the Murong clan in Hebei.
Since Murong She's return, he has been operating in Liaodong for more than 100 years, accumulating steadily.
Taking Hebei is even more powerful.
Yanzhou has only been on the rise for a few years? The newly acquired territory has not been digested.
Li Yue could only pray in his heart that Ran Min would hold on for another two months, but he also knew that it was unlikely.
What kind of character is Murong Ke? After enduring it for so long, isn't it just to wipe out Ran Min?
The army was ready to go, and good news came from the west, and Xu Chengbing took Pengcheng without blood.
But Liang Xiao had a problem, and encountered stubborn resistance from the Jin army in Shouchun.
Yuan Zhen, the assassin of Jinyu Prefecture, drove troops north from Hefei and settled in Shouchun in advance, and the cavalry of Meng Kai's department attacked and harassed outside, although the left and right battalions led by Liang Xiao were brave, but after all, they had been fighting for so long and were already tired.
And Yuan Zhenfei is comparable to Xie Shang and Yin Hao.
At the beginning, it was he who led the army north to break through Hefei and capture Santan, the captain of the Southern Barbarians of Ran Wei.
There are two choices in front of Li Yue, go south, besiege Shouchun, and spend a month or two, Li Yue is absolutely sure to take it.
But Hebei is already imminent, and there is not so much time.
"Our army is tired, so don't take Shouchun for the time being." Chang Wei said.
"Order Liang Xiao to return to defend Xiapi, and the army will go north with a certain person." Although Li Yue felt pity, he was helpless.
In such a form, there is no time to entangle with Jiangdong here, so I have to make a trade-off.
