Xue Chong is right, the marching speed of the Ninth Army of Meng is amazing, and the people of the Second Army Corps on the ground have been taught these days, and they can't catch up if they are in a hurry, and without the cavalry, they only rely on two legs to hurry, and the 19th and 20th divisions have a great chance that they will not be able to catch up with the enemy's main force. The combat effectiveness of the 1st Brigade of the 201st Division is much stronger than that of the 20th Division, and the rush to the battlefield led by Xue Chong can at least threaten half of the enemy's smaller division.

"Well, let you lead the cavalry as the vanguard and set off early, they should not give you important combat missions. Miao He weighed it again and again, and finally agreed to Xue Chong's request.

In order to support the main battlefield, Miao He not only cobbled together 2,000 cavalry for Xue Chong, but also appointed his own magician head Jin Lisi to accompany the forward troops.

Before leaving, Miao He specially called Ding Kui and ordered the first squadron to protect Jin Lisi's safety, where Jin Lisi went, Ding Kui would follow, except for Fan Yi's military orders, other military orders could not be violated against it.

The matter of capturing Hu Xian made Miao He understand Ao Yu's strength, with such a powerful warrior by his side, Miao He dared to let Jin Lisi follow the forward troops, otherwise how could he let the head of the magician leave the large army to fight.

Just after nightfall, Xue Chong set out with 3,000 cavalry and a tower magician to follow the map left by the 196th Division to the east to trace the traces of friendly troops. They dared to light torches and march at night, firstly because they were fighting on their own territory and would not be harassed by nearby towns and cities, and secondly, because they were sure that there would be no enemy ambush and sneak attack, and that if friendly troops passed in front of them, they would first encounter friendly troops before they could meet enemy troops.

Galloping all the way, Xue Chong and the others did not see the expected battlefield when they arrived at the predetermined location, only a small group of scouts waited for them.

Hong Jin worked hard, took out his housekeeping skills, and ran away!

That's right, the Ninth Army of Meng has a unique skill, marching at night.

There is not much light in the Shenyuan world at night, and there is no artificial light that cannot see the road clearly, and the artificial light is extremely conspicuous at night, and it is very easy to be attacked by cavalry in unknown directions, which has caused a great obstacle to the night march, and it is easier to do it with fewer people.

The Ninth Army of Meng developed a set of methods for marching at night, which other legions did not quite understand, but Hong Jin had to give full play to the characteristics of his own legion's fast marching and arrange for his troops to spend a lot of time on training. Just when they were dying and dying, the training they had been training without sleep day and night finally paid off.

After the 196th Division and the 12th Division ran to support Wanggui City, Hong Jin decisively ordered his subordinates to retreat, and all the soldiers rode their horses and fled with the brigade. Peng Shuo had no choice but to hang far behind Hong Jin, biting the enemy's main force, thinking that the enemy would always stop and camp at night.

How do you know that Hong Jin's troops still did not stop advancing after nightfall, Peng Shuo was dumbfounded, he didn't dare to continue to chase, Hong Jin held a cavalry division in his hand, that is, the previous Chinese army, and it was likely to ambush it when it was not visible, and dealt a fatal blow to the 11th Division on the ground. He could only watch as the enemy army burrowed into the night, quickly disappearing from his sight.

When the 196th and the 12th Division rushed over to join Peng Shuo, they decided to divide the team into three sections to prevent being attacked by the enemy, and only by virtue of the numerical superiority of cavalry did they dare to continue to pursue the enemy's main force, but by that time Hong Jin had already run for several hours.

As soon as Xue Chong learned about the situation from the scouts left by Peng Shuo, Ding Kui found that the northwest was in flames, and Fan Yi led the main force of the Second Army Corps to arrive.

Fan Yi learned that Hong Jin ran away again, and he was angry in his heart, since Fan Xiang's 13th Division was destroyed, he has been chasing Hong Jin, this time Hong Jin was entangled by his own cavalry, and he saw that he was about to catch up with the main culprit who killed the Fan clan, but he let Hong Jin run away again.

"The order was to send 2,000 cavalry from each division to Xue Chong, let the magicians of the 14th and 15th divisions follow Xue Chong's troops, and let Xue Chong lead his troops to forcibly march to chase the enemy's main force; Fan Yi was unwilling, but he also had to let his subordinates who had been running for a day and a night rest first.

Xue Chong's subordinates were replenished, and there were currently 5,000 cavalry, two division-level magicians plus a tower magician, probably the most majestic time in his life, with such a lineup, he dared to charge at the enemy army of a division.

The high-spirited Xue Chong led his troops to pursue along the marks left by the friendly troops, from the first half of the night to the second half of the night, and from the second half of the night to dawn, and did not even see the shadow of the enemy in one night. In the morning, he finally caught up with Peng Shuo and the others.

Helian Yu walked into the military flag pass camp and inspected the air force camp that had not suffered any damage with an unexpected expression, "Yo, what is Jiang Zhi thinking? How could he leave an intact military camp for me?" she muttered in her heart.

"Come on, arrange for craftsmen to carefully inspect this camp, even if it is three feet into the ground, you have to find out for me, whether the enemy army has left any traps?" Helian Yu was not at ease, the Shaodian army had enough time to crack this military camp when they retreated.

In the distance, Yu Zhong asked Jiang Zhi with the same question as Helian Yu, "Chief of Staff, why did we leave an intact military camp for the enemy army?"

"Hehe, can't you figure it out, what would you do if you were the commander of the enemy army?" Jiang Zhi asked with a smile.

Yu Zhong pondered for a while before he cautiously replied: "This place is not far from the Junqi Pass, and it is easy to be attacked, so it does not have much military significance for the Meng army, if I am the commander of the Meng army, I will send someone to thoroughly inspect the barracks to understand the enemy's intentions, and if it is not found, it will be demolished, so as not to be used by the enemy in the future." ”

"Exactly the right response, I'm sure Helian Yu will do the same. The Meng army has just forced back my Eighth Legion, and the Meng Thirteenth Army has also forced back my Fourteenth Legion, Helian Yu has the advantage in an all-round way, and at this time she will always remind herself not to get carried away.

I'm going to make a little joke on her, it will take a lot of time to wait for her to finish her inspection and then tear down the barracks, but what we need most now is time, and maybe just a few hours will have a decisive impact on the outcome of the battle. Jiang Zhi was a little proud.

Helian Yu is known as the "goddess of generals", it is quite difficult to trick her in strategy, and it is not easy to deceive her in subtleties, Jiang Zhi calculated that she would be fooled.

Base camp, Jiang Xi felt refreshed when he got up in the morning, last night was the most restful night he slept in recently, there was no emergency military situation to interrupt his sleep, walking into the gate of the headquarters, Staff Officer Zhang, who also looked good, greeted him with brisk steps, "Lord Commander, good news!"
