No matter how tightly organized the retreat is, it is always difficult to completely avoid chaos, not to mention that the order was issued suddenly at night, and soon let the mercenary scouts detect, Pegasus reported to their respective commanders, and when the whole team of Kantal approached Tucheng, he was sure that the soldiers really abandoned the city and fled south, and he didn't understand why it was so fast, and the generals of the various teams who were eager to make a fortune rushed to Tucheng without waiting for the order to come down, and Prince Duanna ran faster than anyone else with his guards, but none of the generals led the troops to pursue the fleeing enemy.

"When you return to the camp, no one is allowed to enter the city, and you are not allowed to lead your troops in pursuit, and tell the soldiers that tomorrow they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and they will not be less than the other teams. ”

Qatar turned his horse's head and left Tucheng, and the soldiers who were hungry for the spoils of war were promised by the commander, although they were somewhat disappointed in their hearts, they still turned their heads back to the camp in order, and the other commanders saw that Kantal did not interfere, and the only scruples were thrown out of the clouds, and they joined the ranks of snatching the spoils of war, and in the dark night, I don't know how many people died in the plot of their brothers, in order to take more armor and equipment.

The northern city is so even worse in the southern city, the witch soldiers sent a pursuit force, but the military resources discarded by the students along the way are piled up, and the pace of the pursuers is getting slower and slower, and the pursuit evolves into a battle for spoils, and Hu Li, who was ambushed at the edge of the dense forest, was so angry that his beard was cocked.

"Grandma's, I wanted to fight a beautiful ambush battle to vent my evil anger, but I didn't know that these poor ghosts didn't chase after me!"

"Don't worry, after dawn, these wolves will bite each other while catching up lifelessly, take advantage of this gap, let's leave quickly, you can't afford to be greedy for war and misdeeds. ”

Hua Zifei gave the order to retreat as he spoke, leading the troops to cover the retreat, all expected that there would be a fierce battle, but he didn't release an arrow, and the old man was also angry, Mei Ying's order to abandon the city even felt too sudden, and the casualties were larger, the student soldiers could have completely defended the earth city, and the madness of the witch soldiers and mercenaries just showed that the follow-up was powerless, and since the start of the war, the students and the three battalions of elite soldiers have not moved, and even the most elite Qiu Xingchen battalion has not joined the battle, when both sides are exhausted, 10,000 elite soldiers are used properly enough to change the tide of the battle.

In the earth city, the battle for the spoils of war is everywhere, at first there was some vigilance, in case the students have an ambush, as the big and small corners are turned over, the soldiers and generals who have divided the property began to compete for the fat difference of the garrison of the earth city, no one is willing to continue to live in tents outside the city, and the flames flashed one after another, the wounded soldiers who refused to retreat climbed out of the cellar where they were hiding, and lit the fire that had been accumulated for a long time, and the patrolling enemy noticed that it was not good, the fire could not be extinguished, the two earth cities became a sea of fire, and there was gunpowder buried under the city gate, and the muffled sound interrupted the life of countless people。

The depressed Kantar was woken up from the nightmare by the guards, and after coming out of the tent, he looked at the fire city in the distance, only to feel that his heart was cold, the flames burned the city, a fire burned all the materials, burned to death many soldiers, how determined the soldiers who stayed to light the fire should be, why there were so many dead soldiers in the Qinghui army.

"Hurry up and pick up the prince!"

When Kantar came to his senses, he turned on his horse and burned everyone to death, but if he trapped Duanna in the fire, he Kantar would not have enough heads for the king to cut off. Fortunately, the apprentices lit a fire but did not leave the elite ambush soldiers, and Duan Na finally picked up a life under the protection of his personal guards, which made Kantar finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Order, the wounded soldiers stay in the camp, the whole army pursues, see one and kill the other, as long as the property does not want people!"

The generals who were lucky enough to escape from the sea of fire gathered their ranks several times faster than usual, and dozens of red dragons pounced on Qinghe. The sailors retreated, and the warships were still next to you, connecting into a bridge on the surface of the Qinghe River, and allowing the angry enemy to trample on them, but the pursuers frightened the fire, and only after repeated checks that they were correct, they roared and stepped onto the bridge deck.

Kantal knew that it was impossible to persuade Prince Duanna to endure his anger and not to pursue, so he had to use the excuse to prevent the steppe tribes from taking advantage of the fire to rob, leading the wounded soldiers of the headquarters and various departments to garrison the camp, while transferring the elite to guard the pontoon bridge, which was the retreat of the mercenaries in case of encounter, and on the other hand, he sent his own soldiers to the witch camp to contact, saying that the mercenaries were only pursuing the soldiers to take revenge, and had no intention of fighting for the spoils of war, hoping that both sides would strictly restrain the soldiers, so as not to cause infighting and miss the pursuit of the major event, as for the effect, he did not care, and now that he has lost his command, he can only do this, the so-called personnel only。

The fire burned the materials that were too late to take away in the earth city, just like taking away the property of the mercenaries and witch soldiers, seeing the mercenaries chasing across the river, there were people who wanted to lead the troops to block, fortunately, the commander of the army was not stupid, at this time the two families fought, it would only let the students see the excitement, after restraining their subordinates, they simply gave the forest road where the students retreated to the mercenaries, he led the witch soldiers to pursue from the side of the road, the cavalry in the mountains and forests had no advantage, that was the home field of the Cuihua witch soldiers, there was no road and no road did not have much impact.

"Escape? I've never seen such a well-organized retreat, following and chasing from the main road, if you don't do well, you will break into the ambush circle, let the students kill a horse gun and bite back, anyway, in the end, it is to surround the ancient village, why not pretend to be generous and let the sunset prince take people to explore the road first. ”

When there are no idlers, the main general of the witch soldiers will break the sky, the soldiers are retreating not escaping, chasing too quickly I am afraid that it will let them bite, and many ways to slowly pursue, forcing it to retreat to the ancient village is the best policy, and when the army is besieged, the students are not afraid to fly to the sky.

After the initial anger subsided, he quickly persuaded Duan Na to adjust his deployment, no longer blindly chasing, just like hunting, driving rabbits to the middle of the encirclement, so that the ambush set up by Hua Zifei and Hu Li lost its effect, and the chasing formation was not chaotic, and the reflexive battle outweighed the losses, and the troops were insufficient after all. The fleeing soldiers in front were not in a hurry, the pursuers in the back were hanging, and in the edge of the reckless forest, the army of seventy or eighty thousand was like a group of children playing games, and only the limited generals of the three parties understood that if the war started again, it would be a decisive victory or defeat, and the bet was on the vast prairie.

After leaving Tucheng, Mei Ying's face was even colder than the water of Qinghe, and it was rare to say a few words a day except for issuing military orders. The evacuation of Tucheng is certainly a predetermined plan, but she always feels guilty and ashamed, more than 20,000 elites died in Si, and they will give up as soon as they retreat, and the soldiers who died in the battle will not ask under Jiuquan: In this case, why not retreat a few days earlier? Especially the captain who died in battle, she always felt ashamed of the defenders of Xicheng, and sent people to visit several times a day along the way, but she didn't want to see those familiar faces, the imperial county lord was defeated and abandoned the city, and she had no shame to face the heroic soldiers.

Three thousand guards left the ancient village, under the leadership of excellence consciously took on the heavy responsibility of the palace of the army, the big battle did not continue to fight, the distance between the chasing soldiers and the students gradually widened, and the city wall of the ancient village on the mountain came into view, Mei Ying restrained the war horse, Hu Li waved the color, several school captains arranged the defense, Hua Zifei held the iron spear and did not leave Mei Ying's left and right, and the short crossbow of the county lord's personal guards were all mounted with blue poisonous arrows.

"Baji, what a boldness!" Before Yan Ning's low scolding landed, he heard the sound of the Guzhai cannon, and a team of soldiers drove down the mountain, and set up a formation at the foot of the mountain to meet them, and a team of elite cavalry came over from afar.

"The scout team of the three legions, please ask Commander-in-Chief Hua to come out and give an order!"

Hua Zifei wanted to go out of battle when he hit the horse, so Yan Ning grabbed the horse's head: "I'll go!" Without waiting for Hua Zifei and Mei Ying to stop him, he rode alone to meet the scout team, stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow, and didn't say a word with a cold face.

"See Miss Yan!"

The three legions are actually Yan Ning's private soldiers, and when they saw her face angry, the scout captain hurriedly jumped off his horse and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the tricolor flag was raised in the scout team, which was to inform the lord of the future identity of the follower. Seeing the signal Baji running over with the guards beating horses, he dismounted and walked from a distance, handed over all the blades to the guards, and came to Yanning to salute in front of the horse alone: "Miss, Hugh blames Baji for being strict, the army is defeated, and the enemy is following behind, I have to guard against fraud." Yan Ning's face was a little pale, but there was still anger in his heart, and there was a thorn in his words: "I'm here, aren't you afraid that you surrendered Sunset and Cuihua, and came to trick you into offering the ancient village." Baji didn't raise his head: "Miss fights, Baji leads the troops to fight to the death, Miss surrenders, Baji abandons the knife and follows." ”

"Come with me to greet the county lord. ”

Yan Ning turned his horse around, Baji followed on foot, and paid homage with a military salute in front of Mei Yingma: "County Lord, there are 12,000 defenders in the ancient village, and a month ago, according to Miss Yan's order, 5,000 elite soldiers left the village and returned to the command of Captain Qiu, and the day before yesterday, he took 3,000 people to answer first, and Baji took 3,000 people down the mountain to greet him, and there is still a 1,000-person team in the village to be on guard, and it is inconvenient for military affairs to go down the mountain." ”

After saying a few words, Mei Ying's anger was completely gone, and after dismounting, she pulled up Baji: "General, don't blame the Chinese army for being suspicious, you have to be cautious here and now." The words were very straightforward, but Baji was inconvenient to answer, but he ordered Huqing to relieve him of the siege: "General Ba, according to the rules of the Qinghui army, the personal guards will go up the mountain to inspect first, please give the order to get out of the way." ”

It is said that it is a pro-guard patrol, there is a battalion on the mountain, after taking over the defense of the walled gate, inspecting the ancient village everywhere, no abnormality was found, as for the courtyard of the commander of the Chinese army, it is three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, the thousand people who stayed in the ancient village were ordered to gather in front of the gate of the village to wait for the military order, and when Yu Wenjie came down the mountain to report, the defense of the ancient village has all been taken over by the second corps, Baji led people to cover the formation under the mountain, leaving the two legions of Tucheng, one team after another drove into the ancient village, the garrison of each battalion has long been clearly divided, and even the bedding in the house is neatly prepared。

Excellence led the guards to complete the task of the palace, returned to the ancient village after dark, the chasing soldiers wanted to fish in troubled waters and attack at night, so that the ambushes of the three legions ambushed on both sides of the gate of the village were killed without leaving a piece of armor, after some temptation, the main general of Duan Na and the witch soldiers dispelled the idea of attacking, the earth city is still unbreakable, and now the city wall made of boulders on the stone mountain, no matter how many tens of thousands of people are useless, how many people die on it, and the casualties of the students are almost negligible, the dangerous terrain, perfect defense facilities, and the elite soldiers who are recuperating, it seems that there is no other way than to besiege the ancient village to fight a protracted war, but the faces of the generals who are attacking the city are almost all smiling。

"The dangerous place is also a dead land, tens of thousands of people go up the mountain, it is difficult to solve it just by drinking water, hehe, the siege is more than ten days, and when the stored drinking water is exhausted, the only way for the soldiers to surrender is to surrender. ”

"Why sit back and wait for their drinking water to run out, let the soldiers cut down the trees, how many of our soldiers and generals have been killed by two fires in Tucheng, and now give them a report of the world, and if they don't die, they have to smoke it out. ”

The witch soldiers chopped wood to prepare to burn the mountain, the mercenaries blocked the way down the mountain tightly, and the student soldiers forcibly attacked several times to open the way to get water, but they were helpless to retreat under the threat of bows and arrows. The carried away Duanna and the chief general of the witch soldiers forgot a crucial detail, what were the previous defenders of the ancient village doing, could it be that they had slept and eaten and slept for a few months to be wiped out today!

"The county lord, the stored drinking water is enough for 30,000 horses and half a month to drink, and the seven hidden ditches dug out are followed by living water, and sending troops to get water is just a strategy for arrogant soldiers, as for military rations, the savings are enough to support two years, and we have won and lost in a protracted war. ”

Baji pointed to the map and explained in detail the defense deployment of the ancient village, even the old fox listened to it wide-eyed, enough to support two years, the enemy under the mountain could not stay for half a month, a snow will force him to retreat, and he couldn't help but ask another flaw: "If the enemy sets fire to the mountain, how should he resist it?" Baji is obviously in his chest: "Set fire? Can he burn it?" There are cliffs on three sides, and there is a side of the road that goes up the mountain, and I also dug out a cliff a few zhang high, and if I really want to set fire, maybe who will burn whom, the mountain wind will blow away the smoke for a moment. ”

Mei Ying only had a smile at this time, Baji has been no more idle than the soldiers who built and defended the city in the past few months, and he had to transform the ancient village in addition to training, and the hard work during this period can be imagined.

"Two years, hehehe, three army commanders, I will only give you three days to rest, the fourth day will start the counteroffensive in the morning, and I will recover Tucheng in seven days, of course, the enemy besieging the ancient village, most people will not see the most exciting ending of this war. ”
