Time was pushed back to midnight, and the fourth-rank General Xuanwei, Liu Huajian, heard the rumbling horse hooves less than half an hour after receiving the information that the vanguard was attacked by the enemy. Standing on a high ground, he looked at the Mongols' Iron Cavalry rushing towards the mountains in the distance, holding a torch like a fire dragon, he gasped.

He knew his soldiers. He had strict standard procedures for setting up camps, including fences, trenches, deer antlers, and guards, but even so, he didn't even block them for half an hour, allowing the opponent to break through the defense line. Judging from this, the forward battalion was afraid that it had been defeated.

In the fire, Lin Ya's wolf-headed flag was particularly eye-catching. Liu Huajian pinched the teeth and said, "It's Lin Ya. It seems that this guy smelled something under the city of Jingzhou. He actually sent his main force to attack. Are they trying to go to Tengchong?"

The deputy general Zhang Xi beside him looked at Liu Huajian's old god-like appearance and couldn't help but feel anxious, "General Liu, what should we do? If our troops are lined up, it will take at least half an hour to organize a thick military formation that can resist such a large-scale impact from the opponent, arrange long-range strike equipment, and set up obstacles. The enemy will not give us this time."

Liu Huajian pointed at the other party, "Look at the speed, is it too late? It's too late! Zhang Xi immediately sent a cavalry to report that the wolf is coming in Tengchong!"

"Yes, but what should we do here?" Zhang Xi said anxiously.

"What should I do? Give up the way! Order our troops to retreat to the mountains on both sides and give up the main road to the Mongolian army. Aren't they going to Tengchong and let them go?"

"What should I do if I retreat to both sides? What should I do if I can't do if I can't get so many weapons? I'll throw them to the enemy?" Zhang Xi said unwillingly.

"You are confused. What are the weapons? What are the big camps? Our Big Yue is very rich. As long as the army is still there, these things will naturally be equipped in a few days. A well-trained army can be pulled up in no time. If you have such a melee with the Mongolian Yuan Iron Cavalry, we will lose in a decent way!" Liu Huajian scolded without hesitation: "Go quickly and let the troops retreat to the mountains on both sides. Those weapons, these Mongolian Yuan Iron Cavalry have no time and the mood to take them. At most, a fire will be burned. When the enemy passes, quickly organize people to put out the fire and see how many can be snatched out!"

"But we retreat without fighting. General Cheng will be afraid that in the future, will General Cheng punish us?"

Liu Huajian burst into laughter. "Do you think General Cheng has a pig head like you! Even if you want to punish him, he will have a tall head like me. You are afraid of a ball!"

Zhang Xi shrugged, thinking that the skin was gone, where would the hair be attached? You are about to fall down, I can have good fruits to eat. But looking at Liu Huajian's expression of indifferentness, I felt a little relieved. I turned around and ran down to the high ground.

"The commander of the Golden Family is indeed a few real skills. But you woke up too late and came to the wrong place again!" Looking at the Mongolian Yuan cavalry getting closer and closer, Liu Huajian shook his head and said, "It's a pity that these elite cavalry will never see the scene of galloping thousands of horses from now on. What a pity!"

It was not until many years later that Liu Huajian witnessed the galloping horses again and rushed towards the intensive infantry war that he realized that he was wrong!

"General, the enemy abandoned their camp and retreated to the mountains on both sides!" A general of Ya ran to Lin Ya, joined him and reported loudly.

"I saw it!" Lin Ya felt a little unwilling. Looking at the figure of the large number of Dayue soldiers carrying only their weapons and arrows, fleeing to the mountains on both sides in panic, he thought that the Vietnamese generals in front of him could lead the army to intercept him. In this case, the Vietnamese general was far from the opponent of his cavalry. He was completely sure to defeat the Vietnamese army who could not fight in a formation and eliminate their living power, and relieve some pressure in the future. But obviously, the opponent he faced was extremely sober, and he did not hesitate to abandon the camp and the baggage, and also preserve his strength. He knew that with the strength of Dayue, these lost things could soon be re-equipped.

"Set the fire, burn their camp, and burn their supplies!" Lin Ya said fiercely.

"Where are those deserters?" asked Yajiang.

Lin Ya looked at the other party again. A group of Vietnamese troops had begun to line up on the hillside, responding to the soldiers running from behind. The latecomers quickly began to form a team behind them. He shook his head, "We don't have time to cause trouble for them, go, go to Tengchong, and cross the river! Our time is limited, Hao Lianbo can't deceive Cheng Qun for how long. I'm already grateful to have a night."

Seeing the fires soaring into the sky and countless cavalrymen walked past the camp, Zhang Xi was so distressed that he was yelling and cursing, "Meng Gouzi, the bitch I have caught you, and stripped off your underwear to pay the bill!"

Liu Huajian's face twitched a few times, and nodded repeatedly, "It's reasonable, I said Zhang Xi, the Mongolian army has passed, should you take people to put out the fire? See how many things can be snatched out, and how much can I snatch it."

"Yes, General!"

The camp was almost burned to white ground. Although the fire was extinguished, thick smoke continued to rise, and various burnt smells filled the air. Liu Huajian walked in the messy camp and stretched out his feet and saw a burnt sheep, which was originally a meat food used in the camp to improve the food of the soldiers.

Liu Huajian squatted down, took out a knife, cut and cut Jiaoyang's body. Finally, he found a piece of edible meat, picked it up with a knife, opened his mouth, and then gnawed it, only chewing the face full of ashes. Looking at the model kisses who were looking at each other and wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, he spread his hands, "What's wrong, don't you eat some? Just eat a little, after eating, we're going to rush forward!"

"General, where are you going? Are you still going to Jingzhou City?" Zhang Xi asked.

"Where did the enemy go?" Liu Huajian asked back.

"The enemy's main force went to Tengchong!"

"Then we will naturally go to Tengchong!" Liu Huajian smiled. "Keep a distance from them and follow their butts. Only when this group of Menggouzi arrives at Tengchong will we know that Tengchong is their cemetery. We will go there to collect debts from them." He reached out and wiped his mouth, patted his hands, "How much has the loss of the Forward Camp?"

Hearing Liu Huajian's inquiry, Zhang Xi said sadly: "The Forward Battalion was dispersed by the enemy, suffered heavy losses, and more than a thousand people died. The battalion general Gong Da led his army to fight to the death and died on the spot."

Liu Huajian was stunned, his whole body froze for a while, and then said for a while: "Gong Da is a good young man, but unfortunately he is too rude. How can his team of 3,000 people resist 30,000 cavalry? It's not a big deal to escape early?" Shaking his head, "Have you found the body?"

"I found it, I was trampled to death by the horse!"

"Look for a coffin to bury him!" Liu Huajian sighed, and with his hands in his arms, he left with great strides.

Lin Ya did not take Liu Huajian's initiative to give way. Under such circumstances, if he did not want to fight against him and suffered major losses and failed, there was nothing to blame for the other general's choice. On the contrary, he admired the decisive ability of this general. You must know that under the circumstances at that time, not every general had the ability to make decisions immediately. If he were himself, he would have done this.

But Liu Huajian gave way and made decisively, but the pursuit was unambiguous. Lin Ya's troops behind the palace soon discovered that Liu Huajian's leading guard vanguard troops were attached to them.

It is obviously not a wise move to turn back to fight at this time. The raids at night are hard to come by. All the troops of Liu Huajian's leadership guards combined have as many as 50,000 people. Even though they are divided into several major groups now, as long as they are entangled with one of them, the remaining ones will be able to meet them in about an hour, thus dragging the war into a stalemate. This is exactly what Lin Ya wants to avoid.

Lin Ya ignored the pursuers behind him and ran towards Tengchong. With the maneuverability of the cavalry, they were leading Liu Huajian for about one day. The cavalry who could barely keep up with their leading guards had no strength at all to compete with their opponents immediately. A few sentry attackers basically ended with the complete defeat of the leading guards.

The cavalry has strong mobility and strong combat capabilities, but also has fatal weaknesses. Their logistics consumption is several times that of infantry. In short, infantry can be hungry for two or three days. As long as they have saliva, they can still kill people when they pick up weapons, but the horses cannot do it. If they don’t eat for a day, they have to bury themselves. Lin Ya does not have the ability to carry more food and grass, and the soldiers can only carry food for several days with them. They have to feed the horses and eat them themselves. Time is very precious to Lin Ya now.

Two days later, Liu Huajian stopped leaving. After occupying Tianjiapo, the key point entering Tengchong, he set up camps and built a defensive position, looking as if he was determined to wait for reinforcements. Occupying Tianjiapo would be like blocking Lin Ya's entire army in the narrow area of ​​Tengchong, which was exactly what Cheng Qun said, the cemetery of the cavalry.

Liu Huajian stopped chasing him, but Lin Ya felt something was wrong. Soon, he found that the road ahead was getting more and more difficult. As the wetlands and swamps gradually increased, Lin Ya's feeling became stronger and stronger. Many soldiers had already fallen into the swamps on both sides of the road and had to abandon their horses to walk. Seeing the more and more walkers in the team, Lin Ya's heart became heavier.

The hope now is to quickly seize the only ferry in Tengchong that can cross the Cangjiang River, or Aslan can reach the edge of the Cangjiang River at the next moment, and the two meet each other to have his vitality.

The road is no longer straight, but winding, and the team is like an earthworm, walking on the road in a twisty and turns. The speed at which the cavalry relies on for their pride no longer exists.

Cangjiang was already looking at it, and the cavalry walking in the front couldn't help but cheer loudly, smashing the war horses and running towards the beach. (To be continued...)
