After Zhang Long left, Yuan Qi wiped the dried blood on his face, and carried out a counter-charge alone, and a hundred guards of the Tiangui Battalion immediately rode their horses and galloped over. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the human body sounded, and a skull soldier of the Thorn Tower Army was cut off by a halberd, spraying blood and flying into the air. Yuan Qi didn't pause, snatched a wave in his hand, and slashed at the headless corpse that was still sitting on the horse and didn't have time to fall. A canopy of blood mist rose in an instant, filling the surrounding area several feet away.

Seeing Yuan Qi so brave, the Thorn Tower cavalry couldn't help but be taken aback, and looked at the blood mist blankly. Suddenly, a horse's head poked out of the blood mist, and the snow-white mane had been dyed blood-red, but the three-inch-long golden crescent on the forehead was still shining!

In the hazy night, Yuan Qi seemed to be a killing god descending from the sky! The Thorn Tower cavalry, who were stimulated by blood and killing, finally reacted and rushed into the Youzhou army formation with their swords. For a time, swords and guns were raised, and the two sides collided fiercely together, and in this case, in the open area, the cavalry undoubtedly occupied a unique advantage, even with the assistance of traps, the retreating Youzhou infantry army also began a large-scale battle attrition...

After a bloody storm, Yuan Qi felt empty in front of him, and behind him, there were corpses all over the ground! Glancing at the distance, Yuan Qi saw that his subordinates' foot soldiers, under the leadership of Zhang Long, had retreated to the edge of the battlefield, so he raised his halberd and pointed in the direction of Zhang Long, and said in a deep voice: "Heaven belongs, cover the retreat of the infantry army." After hearing Yuan Qi's order, the fifty guards of the Tiangui Camp who followed him changed their formation again and turned into a snake formation with both offense and defense. Then, under the leadership of Yuan Qi, like a huge grinding plate, it turned in the direction of Zhang Long, grinding the Thorn Tower cavalry that tried to block them along the way to pieces.

Coming to Zhang Long's side, Yuan Qi took a breath and asked Zhang Long, "Zhang Long, how are the casualties?" Zhang Longyingwu's face was completely covered with blood, both enemies and his own subordinates. Hearing Yuan Qi's question, Zhang Long almost didn't cry: "Senior Brother Yuan Qi, I am incompetent, more than a thousand soldiers, more than half of the dead and wounded!"

Yuan Qi sighed, patted Zhang Long on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Quickly retreat!"

Watching Yuan Qi and the others withdraw, the frightened Thorn Tower people who were killed finally breathed a sigh of relief. They all secretly rejoiced in their hearts: this group of devils has finally withdrawn.

Timanda, who was protected in the middle of the crowd, had already bandaged his wounds, endured the severe pain in his left shoulder and right arm, and ordered the troops and horses to be assembled and the damage counted. Two moments later, the Thorn Tower's generals reported to Timanda—

"Chief, more than 2,000 of our army were killed in the battle, and there are 1,000 who were seriously wounded and could no longer fight. ”

"Report to the chief, after counting, the enemy has been killed and wounded, uh, less than a thousand. ”

"Chief, the enemy has retreated in the direction of Jijun. ”

Timanda listened to the report of her subordinates, and her face couldn't help but twitch. More than 3,000 of his wolf-like subordinates were killed and wounded, while the enemy lost less than 1,000 of them? Is this still an enemy army that has always been like a sheep in his eyes? How did he become more ferocious than a tiger or a leopard?

Just when Timanda's face was pale, Zou Yue, the Taishou of Beiping, led two thousand county soldiers to help. Seeing the corpses left on the battlefield, Zou Yue knew that Timanda was defeated, defeated by the little overlord Yuanqi, and it was a big defeat!

After considering the words for a while, Zou Yue walked up to Timanda and whispered: "Leader Timanda, according to the information I have obtained, although Yuan Qi is brave, there are less than 3,000 people under his command!

Timanda turned her head, looked at Zou Yue viciously and yelled, "Are you blind? Don't you see that my sons have suffered heavy casualties?

Zou Yue pretended to be calm and said: "Leader Timanda! If you think about it carefully, Yuan Qi's subordinates only have less than 3,000 soldiers, and they have already killed a thousand people, no matter how brave that little overlord is, even if his subordinates are elite, but there are many of us, you and my subordinates still have about 20,000, 20,000! 20,000 against 2,000, we can't beat us? Besides, you have also seen the bravery of the little overlord, if you don't capture him today, when he returns to Jijun and leads most of the army and horses to come again, who can resist?"

Timanda was also a well-known warrior of the Thorn Tower, and unlike most of the Thorn Ta people, Timanda had studied the art of war of the Han people, and was considered a wise and brave figure among the Thorn Tower people. It's just that he was beaten by Yuan Qi just now, and now when he hears Zou Yue's words, he comes to his senses!

Timanda beckoned a few guards, and with the help of the guards, he got on his horse again and said loudly: "Sons, you also heard what Zou Taishou said just now, the enemy army is just bluffing, and they have less than 2,000 soldiers now! So we must catch up, kill them all, and avenge the dead brothers!"

"Revenge!" "Kill them all!" The blood of the Thorn Tower people was aroused by Timanda, and all the Thorn Tower people who could fight again jumped on their horses, shouting loudly, and chased after Yuan Qi who was retreating forward. Also pursuing were the 2,000 soldiers of Beiping, whose eyes shone with the light of victory, as if they were proud of being able to defeat the little overlord that everyone feared. They seem to see the twilight of their heroes, torn to shreds by them ...

Zou Yue is undoubtedly also an excellent general, he knows that Yuan Qi relies on thousands of people, and the defenders of Beiping only need to rely on high walls and sharp arrows, and hundreds of people are enough to defend it, and they are still strangled with a large army, and it is not easy to be whimsical if they want to return to the siege. It was precisely because he took away most of the military strength in the city that created the conditions for the elite to return to the camp in 700 days to enter the city in a roundabout way and carry out internal purges.

Timanda endured the pain and led his subordinates to hunt down Yuan Qi with Zou Yue. After running for nearly ten miles, a scout came to report: "Report, chief, the enemy troops have been found ahead, and it seems that there are only more than 1,000 people." ”

"How can there be more than a thousand people, is that little overlord playing some tricks?" said Timanda, puzzled.

Zou Yue said: "It shouldn't be, in my opinion, there should be some people who feel that the general trend has gone and flee first." ”

Hearing this, Timanda nodded, with his long experience in fighting enemy forces, a considerable number of Han people are very fond of running away. So Timanda no longer hesitated: "Sons, the enemy army has already deserted, we will kill them in one go!"

More than 10,000 Thorn Tower cavalry and 3,000 soldiers from Beiping County raised their weapons one after another and slaughtered forward under Timanda's shout.

In the retreating enemy formation, I don't know who saw the Thorn Tower cavalry first, and shouted: "Oh no, the Thorn Tower people are catching up, run." The enemy soldiers who were traveling with them looked back one after another, and when they saw that the Thorn Tower cavalry was only more than two miles away from their own formation, they all exclaimed in surprise, and then threw away the heavy grain and grass around them, and fled one after another.

Seeing the enemy fleeing in panic, Timanda let out a knowing laugh, yes, this is what he remembered the Han army look like, it seems that the little overlord was greedy for life and afraid of death, and left with the elite troops first, leaving only some foot soldiers to escort grain and grass. "Sons, go after and see how much grain and grass the enemy has left. ”

A group of cavalry came to the baggage discarded by the enemy and began to inspect the baggage abandoned by the enemy. A cavalryman turned back and shouted to Timanda: "Chief, it's all food, and wine!" As soon as he heard that there was wine, Timanda laughed even happier, the Thorn Tower people were addicted to alcohol, and they just used these wines to reward their subordinates, Timanda waved his hand, and was just about to ask his subordinates to pull back the baggage and wine, Zou Yue interrupted Timanda's thoughts: "Timanda, don't let the soldiers quote those wines, not to mention whether the wine is poisonous or not, once you drink alcohol, it will inevitably delay the journey to hunt down Yuanqi, I think this is the little overlord's delaying strategy." ”

Listening to Zou Yue's reminder, Timanda reacted instantly, and said gratefully: "Thank you Zou Taishou for reminding me, this leader almost missed a big thing." Timanda then shouted to his subordinates, "Leave a group of men and horses to guard the baggage, and the rest of the men will speed up the pursuit of the enemy!"

Once again, the Thorns split up a group of men and stayed next to the baggage. The rest continued to pursue the enemy troops. Just after running a short distance, a Thorn Tower cavalry suddenly shouted in surprise: "Silver! There is silver on the ground!" Hearing this, the pursuing Thorn Tower Man hurriedly looked down at the ground, but wasn't it, the scattered silver taels were lying quietly on the ground, exuding a seductive light in the bright moonlight.

Another exclamation sounded: "There are also jewels ahead!" The Thorn Tower cavalry who heard the shout rushed over to watch, and sure enough, there were not only broken silver on the ground in front, but also pearls scattered on the ground, flashing with a round luster.

After a brief moment of surprise, the Thorn Cavalry dismounted and grabbed the pieces of silver and jewels from the ground. While picking it up, he shouted happily: "I picked it up! Haha, I'm rich." One of the Thorn Tower cavalry was even more ecstatic and shouted, "Haha, it's a pearl, I've never seen a pearl in my life." The Thorn Tower cavalry in the back saw that the brothers in front had picked up the jewels, and they couldn't bear it anymore, so they quickly turned over and dismounted, and joined the ranks of looting.

Zou Yue was stunned and looked at the chaotic Thorn Tower cavalry, dazed and at a loss. After a while, Zou Yue reacted and hurriedly said to Timanda: "This is Yuanqi's plan to delay the army!" Leader Timanda, quickly ordered to continue the pursuit, and after solving Yuanqi, he will come back to pick up the money. ”

Timanda shook her head and said, "Zou Taishou should know that our Thorn Tower people are poor, and the sons and daughters will inevitably see the joy of hunting when they see the silver jewels, so they will go with them." ”

With Timanda's deliberate connivance, more than 10,000 Thorn Tower cavalry turned over and dismounted, carefully searching the ground for lost money. From time to time, people let out shouts of joy after picking up money and goods. Seeing that the Thorn Tower people had made a fortune in vain, the three thousand rebels under Zou Yue couldn't bear it anymore, and regardless of Zou Yue's drinking, they also joined the ranks of looting.
