Chapter Seventy-Eight: Retreat the Pursuers
"Don't worry, listen to me!" Feng Qingluan said.
"Okay, as long as what you say is reasonable, I can forgive the sins of the two of you, if it is unreasonable, then don't blame me, I will kill you!" Zahan glared angrily.
"I can tell you clearly that it was not our Chuxia National Salvation Army that slaughtered the Nanyi people, it was Wu Shaoguang's men and horses who pretended to be, and he deliberately provoked the contradictions between you Nanyi people and the Chuxia National Salvation Army, and took advantage of the fisherman!"
"You can say that Wu Jun is pretending to be you, and Shi Peixiao can also say that you are pretending to be Wu Jun, if you want me to believe it, I want credentials!"
"Over the years, how Shi Peixiao has treated you, you should know that it is impossible for him not to bully you!" Feng Qingluan is colorful.
"It's true that the Chuxia people bullied us, but what you did was too much, how many of us have you killed in just these days!"
"King Zahan, I still repeat, it wasn't us who killed the Nanyi people!"
"Since it's not you, who do you say, as long as you find out the real bad guys, I'll let you live!"
"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!"
"I'll give you three days, if you can find evidence, I'll let you go, if the three-day period is over, then we can't be cruel!"
Zahan said, and high-fived Feng Qingluan and swore an oath.
Feng Qingluan and Han Yuliang left the army of the Nanyi people.
"Brother Feng, are you sure you can catch those people who are pretending to be Nanyi people!"
"I'm not sure for the time being, but if I can delay it for a while, maybe there will be a way to think about it!"
Han Yuliang nodded yes. The two hurried back to the headquarters of the Chuxia National Salvation Army.
When the people saw the two of them returning, they gathered them together.
Feng Qingluan simply told the things in Zahan's army, and then said about high-fives with Zahan.
"King Chu, after these people pretended to be Nanyi people to commit murder and evil, they changed back to their original clothes, how can we find them!" Shan Kaikai said with some concern.
Feng Qingluan smiled and said, "I think Lu Shuai will have a way!" ”
Lu Jingfei said: "What the King of Chu said is right, Kang Huai and I are good at dressing up, and it just so happens that the two of us will take people to find out these wicked people!" ”
"You'd better take Fan Cheng with you!" Feng Qingluan said.
"King Chu, rest assured, we will definitely find these wicked people as soon as possible, and it will definitely not take more than three days!" Kang Huai also interjected.
Lu Jingfei and Kang Huai took the order and left. Shao Donglai said: "King Chu, their trip is like looking for a needle in a haystack, how can they find those pretending people!" ”
"They are good at doing these things, and besides, King Huai has a lot of dealings with the Nanyi people, they must have a way, we are waiting for their good news!" Feng Qingluan comforted everyone.
"What if they don't come back in three days?" Shan Kaikai asked.
"Well, let's think of another way, although the Nanyi people are brave, they don't pay attention to strategy, I stabilize them like this, that is, I have my hands free to deal with Shi Peixiao, as long as Shi Peixiao is repulsed, what are the Nanyi people afraid of!"
Feng Qingluan said the true purpose.
"Shi Peixiao's army is still a day's journey away! As long as the Nanyi people don't attack us within three days, I can be sure to repel Shi Peixiao! Peng Zhenlei said.
"General Peng, you can take all the combat troops to ambush Shi Peixiao, and all the civilian personnel here should take up arms to beware of the sneak attack of the Nanyi people!" Feng Qingluan commanded.
Shi Peixiao rushed over with tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
"How long will it be before we catch up with the rebels?" Shi Peixiao asked.
"My lord, let's not catch up with them, just drive them forward, and let the Nanyi people destroy them." Counselor Xu Ming said.
"This is a good idea, while we secretly kill the Nanyi people, we will let the Nanyi people fight for us, so that we can weaken the Nanyi people and destroy the rebellious party."
Shi Peixiao said and straightened his beard.
"General Peng, looking at the actions of the Wu army, he doesn't want to catch up with us and fight, but wants to drive us to the Nanyi people!"
Kou Jingyu whispered to Peng Zhenlei.
"They drove us away and let us not rest, and the king of Chu asked us to give him a little color!" Peng Zhenlei said.
"They have a lot of people, we have few people, and we still can't fight hard!"
"We're going to keep harassing them, looking for fighters!"
Peng Zhenlei gave an order, and asked Kou Jingyu, He Qiuting, and Shao Donglai to lead their men and horses to attack Shi Peixiao from different directions.
Shi Peixiao originally walked leisurely. Suddenly, a group of men and horses rushed out from the left, and a flurry of arrows came at him, and he was just about to organize people to resist, but they had already withdrawn.
Just took a breath, and then rushed out from the right side of a group of centaurs, another wave of disturbance.
Although the scale is not large, there are many raids.
Shi Peixiao was furious and shouted: "The archers are guarding the periphery, and when they encounter an attack, they will fire arrows in unison!" ”
This work really worked, as soon as the attacker appeared, it was a flurry of arrows.
"Shi Peixiao's fire has been arched by us, and we have to add a fire to him!" Peng Zhenlei said.
"General Peng, what do you have in mind, just say it, we will let you send it!"
It was He Qiuting who spoke, and he admired Peng Zhenlei's command ability from the bottom of his heart.
"Shi Peixiao has a lot of people, we can't fight hard with him, our purpose is to let him retreat in difficulty, besides, we only have two days, if the Nanyi people attack the general assembly, our fighters are here, and there is no one to defend!"
"What does General Peng command? We're willing to listen! ”
"I observed, there is a dense forest in front, the official road is in the dense forest, the forest is full of shrubs and wild grasses, we can set fire!"
"General Peng's idea is good, although it can't hurt Shi Peixiao much, but it can shake his military spirit and make them withdraw their troops!"
"Alright, let's stop attacking him, and when they enter the dense forest, we will set fire to them head-on and scare them back!"
Everyone agreed, and went down to make arrangements.
No one bothered him, and Shi Peixiao felt a lot cleaner.
"Master Shi, Wu Shaoguang actually doesn't worry about us at all!" Xu Ming said.
"Of course, although I said that I obeyed him, but what good did he give me, but these chaotic parties made a lot of trouble, and I got angry when I heard their news, so I wanted to kill them all!"
"My lord, the chaotic party is united, it is difficult to exterminate, since we have driven them to Nanyi, let's take it when we see it! Let the chaotic party and Nanyi fight! ”
"I also want to go back, but I'm afraid that Wu Shaoguang will blame us, there are so many of us, we can't go back without seeing the battle!"
As the two spoke, the army quickly followed the official road into the dense forest.
"My lord, there is a smell of gunpowder in the woods!" Xu Ming exclaimed.
"Yes, someone set it on fire!" Before Shi Peixiao's words fell, a fire suddenly broke out in the woods.
"Retreat!" Shi Peixiao commanded.
Although the sergeants were panicked, the formation was not chaotic, and the rear team changed to the front team and quickly retreated.
But in the mountains and forests, the bushes were overgrown, and the fire ignited instantly.
"Evacuate!" Shi Peixiao shouted, this is the family background of him and Wu Shaoguang, and there must be no mistakes.
Peng Zhenlei looked at the fire and said to everyone: "Shi Peixiao is afraid that he is scared!" ”
The crowd laughed.
"General Peng, should we go after them?" Someone asked.
"It would be good to drive them away, and if you pursue them, won't you call them back again!" Peng Zhenlei knew that the goal had been achieved.
The fire burned, and Shi Peixiao was anxious for a while.
Suddenly, dark clouds fell in the sky, and thunder rolled.
A thunderbolt flew out of the dark clouds and a green dragon.
The green dragon spat out countless rain threads from its mouth!
Heavy rain fell and instantly extinguished the fire.
Shi Peixiao looked up to the sky and laughed, "With the divine dragon to help me, let's continue to attack!" ”
Xu Ming hurriedly said: "My lord, God saved us, this is the good luck of the adults, I think we just took advantage of the reason of being attacked by fire, just to withdraw our troops!" ”
"Makes sense!" In an instant, Shi Peixiao understood.
"Withdraw the troops, we have a reason to withdraw the troops!" Then he gave the order to withdraw to Ruinan County.
"If it weren't for Qinglong spitting water, Shi Peixiao would be wiped out!" He Qiuting said.
"Brother He, although Shi Peixiao is hateful, the sergeants under him are not guilty, they are all the people of the great country of Chuxia, we just need to teach him a lesson and let him retreat!"
Peng Zhenlei said.
"General Peng is right, the heavens can't bear to bury these people in the fire, so they let Qinglong rain to extinguish the fire and save them!" He Qiuting said.
"Brother He is right, since Shi Peixiao has withdrawn from the army, let's hurry back to the association!" Peng Zhenlei said.
Everyone said yes and rushed back to the general meeting.
Feng Qingluan and Shan Kaikai came to greet them in person.
"You have made such a great contribution, and King Xia and I are very grateful to you!"
"Why should the King of Chu be polite, Shi Peixiao has retreated, we can concentrate on dealing with the Nanyi people", Peng Zhenlei said.
