Although he was eager to find his next target as soon as possible, Helan Leopard clearly felt that the leap of the mount under him was becoming more and more weak, and glanced at the white foam that could not help but fly in the wind at the corner of the horse's lips.

He knew full well that his beloved horse, which was worth a thousand dollars, was already running out of stamina and was about to reach dangerous points - always leaving the mount with enough strength to turn and leap at any time and get out of any sudden crisis in an instant.

As a Sinicized Hu person, he is devout in Buddhism, in fact, he agrees with the Zen words of the previous "Yu Wenxian" to persuade Duan Chang: "The momentum cannot be exhausted, the words cannot be exhausted, the blessings cannot be enjoyed, and the rules cannot be exhausted." If everything is too exhausted, fate will inevitably end early!"

And he felt that many soldiers in the Qi army who believed in Buddhism also agreed with this sentence. It's just that because of the position of friend and foe, no one is stupid enough to say this.

After hesitating for a moment, the Helan leopard finally slowed down his horse and waited for the rest of the generals to catch up, before reminding loudly: "The sky is about to be dark, and the soldiers are also sleepy and tired, should we suspend the pursuit and set up camp?"

A general on the left rear immediately objected: "Our army is tired, why is it not the case with the enemy?

Another general chimed in: "This is extremely true. More and more soldiers of the enemy army have fallen behind, and in the small half day since crossing the Fenshui River, more than 300 cavalry of the enemy army have become the souls of our swords.

According to this estimate, before and after dark, most of the enemy's war horses will die foaming at the mouth!"

Another general immediately said: "In the past half a day, Yu Wenxian has only been tired of running for his life, and he is no longer like yesterday when he suddenly led the army to reflexively beat me and waited for a surprise, it must be because of the sequelae of the rash use of the forbidden technique, and he has lost his combat effectiveness."

This is a heaven-sent opportunity for us to capture and kill the prince of the enemy country and capture the immortal feat!"

The rest of the generals chimed in: "Not bad, not bad......"

Helan Leopard was silent for a moment, knowing that he was only a deputy general and not a chief general, and he couldn't suppress the generals' meritorious intentions, so he could only agree: "It's okay, I'll work harder and kill the pseudo-Prince Zhou!"

The generals laughed and shouted: "Kill the pseudo-Prince of Zhou!" After that, the mighty 20,000 elite horsemen shouted, and the sound was higher and higher.

............

Three miles ahead, Yu Wenxian, who was galloping with the army, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the enemy chanting the slogan of killing himself, but he looked back at his subordinates who fell behind from time to time, and he was worried again.

The soldiers who can persist until now are all his team, and they are also first-class elites in a hundred battles in the world, which can be described as one less than one death, which is like a blunt knife cutting flesh constantly weakening his foundation!

More worrisome......

Yu Wenxian touched the wet hair on the horse's neck again, and felt that the horse's sweat stains were gradually thick and sticky, almost mushy, and where the line of sight fell, the white foam flying from the horse's mouth became less and less......

"I'm getting dehydrated!"

As the king of Great Zhou Qi and the commander of the ten thousand armies, his mount is naturally the top, and at this moment, even his mount has shown signs of dehydration, not to mention the four or five thousand war horses under his command that are only limited to the middle and upper ranks?

Without any hesitation, Yu Wenxian immediately rode his horse close to Shi Zhixuan and asked directly, "Where is the ambush place? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Shi Zhixuan never thought that his plan to use Yu Wenxian as bait to attract Qi pursuers to step into the ambush circle would be concealed from a battlefield veteran like Yu Wenxian, who is both wise and brave.

Even if the calculation against Yu Wenxian succeeded at this moment, and the victory of the ambush was already the trend of the times, he did not bother to talk and confide, desperately pulling hatred.

Therefore, he replied without being salty: "It's almost ......"

Yu Wenxian was furious, "It's going to be dark soon, and even if the pursuers are introduced into the ambush place, at least three thousand war horses under the command of this king will die of dehydration, and you are responsible for the consequences?"

Shi Zhixuan was rare to be generous, "After the big victory, you can choose three thousand captured Qi army war horses first!"

Yu Wenxian sneered, "Then you'd better pray for the blessing of your ancestors, and when the time comes, the captured war horses can be enough for three thousand, otherwise this king will definitely ask His Majesty to join you, let your head fall to the ground, and correct the military law!"

Shi Zhixuan glanced at him disdainfully, "In the summer and autumn, the general led the army to capture 20,000 or 30,000 war horses from Tuyuhun, and he was promoted to the Shangzhu State, how could Your Majesty ask to kill the general for the sake of only 3,000 war horses?"

King Qi is overtired and fainting, right?"

Yu Wenxian was furious, "You ......" but helpless.

In fact, it was not that he underestimated the more than 10,000 elite cavalry under the command of Shi Zhixuan, after all, it was a first-class strong army in the main force of the Great Zhou, but he knew very well that the cavalry was fighting in the wilderness, even if he encountered an ambush, he could pull out his horse and flee when he saw that the situation was not good, and even if the pursuers who were also cavalry pursued frantically, it was difficult to get much.

Just like in recent days, more than 10,000 foot cavalry under his command have rescued Yuwensheng's department and Yuwenchun's department who were besieged by the Qi army, and undertook the heavy responsibility of breaking off, fighting and retreating with the Qi army's chasing soldiers, fighting and retreating all the way, 5,000 infantry soldiers were lost, and only the middle and senior officers with horses were left, but the 5,000 cavalry suffered very little losses!

In the same way, even if the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Qi army stepped into the ambush circle arranged by the more than 10,000 elite cavalry under Shi Zhixuan, the numerical advantage of the Qi army could not be ignored, as long as a small part of the elite was sacrificed, it was not difficult to break out of a gap and break through.

If the Qi army can unite as one, rush fiercely, fight to the death, and even have the possibility of turning defeat into victory, although it can only be a crushing victory in the end!

The only key that can smooth out the gap in strength is that the more than 10,000 elite cavalry under Shi Zhixuan's command are waiting for work, and the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Qi army have already consumed at least seventy percent of their energy and physical strength at this time!

Obviously, Shi Zhixuan wanted to consume as much of the physical energy of the Qi soldiers and horses as possible, until the best time to ambush before and after dark, and the price was to kill more than half of Yu Wenxian's horses.

Of course, Yu Wenxian is not willing to make a wedding dress for him, why should I die, why do I die, why do I die, but the credit for the final victory over 20,000 Qi army elite cavalry is yours?

It's a pity that at this time, the four or five thousand horsemen under his command don't even have the physical strength to fight reflexively, and there is no other way than to grit their teeth and continue to flee according to the wishes of "Pei Ju"!

Perhaps, this is exactly what "Pei Ju" has carefully calculated a long time ago!

Yu Wenxian looked at Shi Zhixuan's gaze and almost wanted to eat people, and felt sorry for himself in his heart, "Poor this king has been bright and upright all his life, after all, he underestimated the ugliness of people's hearts, and it is difficult to prevent the villain next to him from being intentional and unintentional, and one accidentally fell into his urn but only realized it at the last moment!"

Also trying to understand are Zhu Yuyan, Changsun Sheng, Gao Gong, Yang Su and other talented people, all of whom are secretly frightened by Shi Zhixuan's scheming poison and calculating essence.

From beginning to end, not only the timing is just right, but even the grasp of the hearts of the enemy is also wonderful!

No matter what everyone thought, the winter was short, the sky was getting darker inch by inch, and the cavalry under Yu Wenxian's command unexpectedly began to fall to the ground in pieces.

The hoarse and sorrowful screams of the horses before they died of dehydration made Yu Wenxian's heart feel like he had been hit by a hammer, and his mind was gloomy......

Finally, in Yu Wenxian's bloodshot but almost pleading gaze, Shi Zhixuan raised his hand and gave the order to stop retreating and make a detour on the spot.

This time, Yu Wenxian did not dwell on the question of whether he overstepped his bounds, but did not hesitate to shout and order: "The army is reflexive......

During the unfurling of the banner, the cavalry, which had been reduced to less than 4,000 troops, began to change formation, bypassing a large arc and facing the rapidly approaching pursuers......

At the same time, above the gloomy and blurred sky, there was a sudden muffled sound, and a bright red firework several zhang large bloomed out of thin air, clearly visible within a radius of dozens of miles.

In the midst of the sparks, the figure of a divine steed looms, hovering and soaring happily. In the next moment, "Huh...... ......", the extremely sharp eagle cry pierced the sky, piercing people's ear drums.

Mentally sensitive masters such as Zhu Yuyan, Yu Wenxian, and Changsun Sheng all clearly felt that this eagle cry was full of indescribable pride.

It's like a child has finally completed the task assigned by the adult, urging the adult to quickly honor the promised reward!

Changsun Sheng was stunned, and secretly despised Shi Zhixuan: This eagle is about to become a refinement, and he lied to me that "it" is a stupid earth eagle, you are blind to me?

Of course, the Qi army, who also saw the fireworks and heard the cry of the eagle, did not have the leisure to do so, and felt bad, without the orders of the generals in front, the 20,000 elite cavalry spontaneously began to slow down the speed of the attack.

Although the 4,000 remnants of the enemy less than a mile ahead were waiting to be killed, they only had to rush over with their horses to reap the first-level military merits!

Sure enough, in the next moment, there were sporadic torches in all directions, and more and more, and finally each piece was connected by thousands of torches...... (To be continued.) )
