Bare trees drooped along both sides of the road.
The visibility of the dense forest has not increased because of the falling leaves. The rows of black trees stand in the distance, and it is still unclear what is behind them.
The long queue is moving slowly on the path.
Everyone is very tired.
Liu Taozi walked in the middle of the team, staring into the distance warily. The knights from the Mandrill Camp were not around. They were all sent out as scouts to keep track of the enemy's movements at any time.
The infantrymen who had experienced a fierce hand-to-hand battle showed exhaustion and weakness all over their bodies.
But they were in good spirits. Not far away, there were two soldiers who were laughing and talking about the harvest of this battle. They were covered with packages. They were obviously very tired, but they were unwilling to leave them behind.
These are their trophies.
Liu Taozi did not send people to collect them uniformly, but allowed these people to use the old tradition to clean up the battlefield.
They were not very good at fighting, but they were very good at cleaning up the battlefield, and they were so clean that Shi Wansui complained: These people wanted to pick out all the lice from the corpses and put them in bags.
The marching speed was extremely slow. After the hand-to-hand fighting, it was impossible for them to march in a hurry. If they had given the order forcefully, they would probably all be gone halfway.
But Liu Taozi didn't care. He walked around and gave the soldiers enough time to rest.
All kinds of food and baggage were sent out at the drop of a hat, and they were fed twice in a row in one day, and both were very rich.
This is the reward of being a winner.
Wei Pohu rode a pony, bumping beside Liu Taozi. He leaned forward, bent over on the horse's back, with a smile on his face, as if he was only flattering his master.
puppy.
"The general is truly invincible!"
"In my hands, ten of these people can't defeat one Chen Bing, but in your hands, one can defeat ten Chen Bings!"
"In the past, I heard people say that whether the army is brave or not depends entirely on the general. I didn't believe it, but today I believe it."
"It is truly unprecedented that a general can lead such a large number of people to defeat the enemy!"
"The general will definitely be able to enter the temple to be worshiped in the future."
Along the way, Wei Pohu never stopped talking, even if Liu Taozi ignored him at all, he would still say something.
Wei Pohu thought about escaping before the battle, but because Lou Rui was staring at him, he did not dare to escape, so he was forced to fight.
After the fight, I realized what a correct decision I made not to run away.
There were many troops in Yangzhou Road. When Huang Fazhu originally attacked Liyang, they summoned more than 100,000 troops to attack Huang Fazhu and Wu Mingche in a mighty manner.
As a result, before he even met Wu Mingche, he was stunned by Huang Fazhu.
After finally escaping back, they learned that Liu Taozi had defeated Wu Mingche. They attacked again and were defeated again. Of the 150,000 to 60,000 troops from various places, only more than 20,000 defeated troops were left. The rest of the troops fled and there was no one anywhere.
Know.
If we look at the battle losses, the Qi people were truly defeated.
Huang Fazhu alone has wiped out more than 60,000 Qi soldiers.
And Wei Pohu is the biggest culprit.
He himself was not as close to Liu Taozi as Lou Rui was. What he was afraid of now was that he would be arrested and questioned after the war was over.
Looking at the silent Liu Taozi, he was about to say something more, but Wang Lin rode forward and cleared her throat in displeasure.
Wei Pohu was very sensible, so he smiled and slowed down, letting Wang Lin stay in his position.
Wang Lin glanced at Wei Pohu behind her and said, "The general still keeps him."
"This person is incompetent and unworthy of being a general. He should be dealt with earlier."
Liu Taozi said softly: "When Gao Chuo used dogs to eat people, this man still knew how to persuade Lu Qian to send troops, and he also tried to dissuade him. Although he was defeated, he gathered up the broken troops and came to defect. He had some conscience.
After you return, you can be dismissed without execution."
Wang Lin nodded, "General Renyi."
"But, General, are we really going to withdraw like this?"
"Chun Yuliang and Xu Du are still with us. If we leave, we will lose both Huai and Huai."
After defeating Huang Fazhu, Wang Lin thought that the general would send troops again to defeat Xu Du and Chun Yuliang respectively, but the general chose to retreat and walked north from the battlefield.
"Can't hold on any longer."
"If we continue to fight, even if we can defeat the three of them, my mandrill camp will also disappear with it."
"Currently, the new army under my command is still training, and the mandrill battalion is playing a great role."
Wang Lin frowned and sighed, "It's a pity that we still couldn't stop them."
"Your Majesty, why did we send troops in the first place?"
"It's to prevent them from taking over the Huai River."
"No, it's to prevent them from taking over the entire Henan area."
"From the south of the river to the Huaihe River, only the Heluo soldiers can defeat the Chen people. The rest of the county soldiers are weaker than the Yangzhou Dao army. How can they stop the Chen people?"
"Besides, there is great chaos in the country, and there is separatism in various places. There is no unified order. If we don't send troops, they will go up the Lianghuai River and seize the land of the Lianghuai River. Then they will take Xu, Yu, Yan, Qing and other places in one fell swoop.
The entire Central Plains is facing us across the river."
"Now that Wu Mingche is dead, Chen people have lost more than half of their lives. With snow and winter approaching, Chen people's logistical losses are even greater."
"They will never dare to go any further."
"And we evacuated many officials from Lianghuai and took away a lot of dead people and supplies. When we were fighting the enemy, Zu Jue was not idle at all."
"A huge amount of supplies and people are hoarded in Gwangju."
"When we send out troops after next year's autumn harvest, it's really hard to say who will attack whom."
Wang Lin gently stroked her beard.
"That's true. The general has been away from the north for too long. I don't know if it's still safe there."
Liu Taozi suddenly looked at Wang Lin, "Your Majesty, I intend to keep you in Guangzhou to serve as the founding general of Guangzhou, to open a new military palace in Guangzhou, to train naval forces, to train infantry and cavalry, and to use it to attack the southerners in the future. I don't know.
What do you think?"
Wang Lin licked her lips and said with a smile: "If the general wants me to garrison Guangzhou, you must promise me something."
"Oh? Your Majesty, please speak."
"Please let Mr. Lu serve as the governor of Guangzhou."
Liu Taozi was a little surprised, "The prince has a relationship with Mr. Lu?"
"We have never had any friendship, but when I was in Qinzhou, I saw so many people willing to fight for him. Everyone missed his moral character. There were tens of thousands of people who followed him away. If I had such a governor by my side
Come and take charge, I am confident that I can build an elite infantry and cavalry for the general within one year, and a usable naval force for the general within five years."
Liu Taozi replied calmly: "It's not my fault. Mr. Lu has gone through a lot. He told me before that he wanted to go home and retire after the war, and I agreed to him."
"If the prince can convince him, I will not object."
"good!"
Just when Wang Lin was thinking about the future with great interest, the neighing of war horses was heard in the distance. A moment later, a group of knights were seen charging out of the path. The leader was Shi Wansui, who was flying all the way.
He rushed towards Liu Taozi with no one to stop him, he just rushed in front of Liu Taozi with a solemn expression.
"General, we found Chun Yuliang's leading troops on the road from Shennong County to Yangpingguan. There were about three thousand people. They were marching very fast and were unable to catch their scouts."
Wang Lin sneered, "It seems that this guy is not willing to accept it. He still wants to keep us?"
"No, he has infantrymen under his command, and his scouts are weak."
Liu Taozi shook her head, "I think he just wanted to make sure that we really evacuated, instead of finding a place to rest and go back to fuck them again."
Shi Wansui was stunned for a while and then asked: "Then let's fuck him once?"
"Oh? Why?"
"Let him think that we are just going to rest and recuperate, and we want to go back to fight them. In this way, even if they can't see us, they will not dare to withdraw their troops quickly and can only continue to delay. The longer they delay, the greater the losses will be when they fight later
The less resistance you get up.”
Shi Wansui analyzed it seriously.
Wang Lin stroked her chin again, "General, why don't you leave this kid in Guangzhou too!"
"You can lead your own people and try your hand at it. Don't fight forcefully, just defeat them."
Shi Wansui laughed, "Lord, don't worry!"
"I'll be right back!!"
"drive!"
Different from the small path taken by Liu Taozi and others, the Chen people took the flat official road.
Only a few of them rode horses, the rest were infantry.
They just moved quickly on the official road, staring at the movement in the distance.
Due to the inconvenience of the scouts, the joint tactics of the three armies were not successful. Huang Fazhu was defeated too early, and the other two armies rushed in panting, and they no longer had the physical strength to dare to fight the enemy who had just won.
Fortunately, the enemy's evacuation speed was not very fast but rather slow, so they could follow up with infantry.
Most of these people were elites, and their advancing speed was not slow. They clung to enemies in the distance. Even when the scouts were at a disadvantage, they did not lose sight of their targets and maintained contact with the army behind them.
Just as they were walking down a gentle slope, the leader suddenly stretched out his hand.
"Back off!!"
"Change!!"
The army immediately stopped and began to line up in front of the gentle slope. Rows of shields appeared in front of the gentle slope.
This gentle slope is really convenient for cavalry to charge.
The cavalry is the strength of the Qi people. When encountering such terrain, they must remain sufficiently vigilant.
Soon after they formed their formation, a group of cavalry slowly emerged from the end of the gentle slope.
Sure enough, they did not continue to advance. The formation here was correct. If they encountered cavalry when going uphill, no formation would work. They would be destroyed directly head-on, without any resistance.
Shi Wansui looked at Chen Bing in the distance with some disappointment.
The most recent chapters being read!
This time he brought more than 300 cavalry. He originally found an excellent gentle slope, thinking that when the enemy went up the slope, he would give them a hard blow and kill them all.
Unexpectedly, the enemy general was not incompetent. He began to retreat into formation when encountering a gentle slope.
Shi Wansui held a horse in his hand and led the crowd to approach slowly.
Chen Bing also maintained his formation and retreated little by little.
During the retreat, there was no confusion in their formation. Shi Wansui slowed down as he looked at the enemy's situation.
He was about to say something.
"Bang~~"
Hearing a loud noise, Shi Wansui lowered his head suddenly, and the armor on his head was shot away. His hair was disheveled and he almost fell off his horse. The knights on the left and right hurriedly raised their shields to block him.
Shi Wansui was gasping for air. There was only a moment left. If the arrow had been lowered a little lower, he would have been shot through the head.
Blood slowly dripped from the top of his head, and Shi Wansui's back felt cold.
In these days, he defeated the enemy many times, and in his heart he dismissed and despised these Chen people. This arrow quickly woke him up.
He looked at the enemy in the distance and raised the horse in his hand.
"The Jiangdong rats who hurt people with hidden arrows!!!"
"Long live the pioneer of Mandrill Camp here! Who dares to fight with me?!"
Shi Wansui tried his best, and the sound was like thunder, which even frightened the horses.
"Beihu kid!!!"
"General Chen and Xiao Mohe are here!!!"
"How dare An be so presumptuous?!"
He heard the same roar coming from the enemy formation, and a burly man rode an equally huge war horse and charged out.
That man's face was covered with thick cloth, and it was covered in many parts of his body. He was obviously injured. But here, Shi Wansui's face was covered with blood, and his arms were also wrapped, and they were also injured.
After Xiao Mohe fell off the city wall, he was sent back to recuperate by Wu Mingche. When Chun Yuliang decided to go on the Northern Expedition, he blocked Chun Yuliang's door and asked to go out with him. In order to show that he was fine, he pulled away in front of Chun Yuliang.
He used his strong bow and shot the small flag outside the fence.
Chun Yuliang considered that Beihu was very ferocious and his subordinates did not have such brave generals, so he took him with him and used him as a vanguard to continue fighting for him.
The arrow just now was shot by Xiao Mohe. If he hadn't been injured, this arrow would have sent Shi Wansui home!
At this moment, he held a spear and charged towards the gentle slope with an angry roar.
Shi Wansui ordered everyone to get out of the way, picked up the huge horse, and rushed towards the opponent with an angry shout.
The speed of the two of them was so fast that their horses almost flew up. They both raised their weapons at the same time. Xiao Mohe held the spear in both hands with the spearhead pointing upward, as if he wanted to defeat the enemy, while Shi Wansui's Ma Shan wanted to let go.
Lower, the pointed tip was aimed at Xiao Maha's body, trying to penetrate him.
The two horses touched each other like lightning, and the whole time seemed to slow down. Xiao Mohe's eyes were full of anger, and his heart was full of unwillingness!!
He was unwilling to be harmed by a villain like that, causing himself to achieve nothing and becoming the laughing stock of everyone!
Shi Wansui was also very angry. This was the first time he felt the terror brought about by death.
"Bang~~~"
The weapons smashed together hard, and the inertia of the war horses almost caused the two of them to fly out.
The two passed each other, then stopped at the same time and faced each other.
Shi Wansui's hands slowly trembled, either because of fear or because of excessive exertion and numbness.
Xiao Mohe's body was bleeding again, and his wounds seemed to have not healed yet.
The two faced each other.
The cold wind blows and the fallen leaves fly.
This is a young hero, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and tall, brave and fierce, and as agile as flying!
Under the crotch is an exotic blood-red BMW, wearing black riding boots, wearing fish scale armor, a black belt, tiger head shoulder pads, long hair fluttering in the wind, holding a heavy horse spear, stained with blood!
He was a warrior on the battlefield, with a strong back and strong waist, big eyes and strong beard, great strength, and as strong as an ox!
Under the crotch is a tall white-spotted horse, with turned-up shoes on its feet, wearing crotch armor, a black cloak, a cast-iron helmet, half-covered face, and a spear in its hand, with a cold light flashing!
The next moment, the two men charged towards each other again.
I only saw the strong wind blowing on the gentle slope, and heard the collision of weapons and the neighing of war horses. The two of them passed each other once more, then turned around and charged again.
Their speed was getting faster and faster, and everyone saw only the flash of cold light, the shouts of killing, and the neighing of war horses. The two of them were like a gust of wind. They came for several rounds, and then began to walk side by side, killing each other!!
Both armies were in formation, watching the two tiger generals fighting to the death.
Xiao Mohe's spear was sharp and sharp, constantly splitting Shi Wansui's horse's spear, and pierced his body. Shi Wansui was nimble and nimbly dodged Xiao Mohe's thrusts on horseback, and the horse's spear in his hand kept changing.
Angle, chop from multiple angles!
The two of them fought all the way, charging back and forth in front of the two armies.
Shi Wansui slashed at Xiao Mohe's abdomen again. Xiao Mohe suddenly lost the spear in his hand and grabbed Shi Wansui's horse. He stared at Shi Wansui with a hint of joy in his eyes. The next moment,
He exerted force violently, and Shi Wansui was lifted directly up by him. Shi Wansui retracted his legs, flew up, and kicked Xiao Mohe in the chest.
The two fell off the horse together and rolled to the ground.
Xiao Mohe drew his sword, Shi Wansui drew his waist knife, and the two came forward to fight again.
In the hand-to-hand exchange, the two men suffered more and more scars, and their actions became more and more intense.
Finally, both men's swords were full of gaps, and they simultaneously abandoned their short-hand weapons and began to fight hand-to-hand.
Xiao Mohe was extremely powerful and tried hard to hug Shi Wansui, but Shi Wansui was agile and could move quickly.
"General!!"
Several soldiers from the Mandrill Battalion rushed forward, holding large shields and bringing their war horses.
Shi Wansui breathed heavily, glanced at Xiao Mohe opposite, and quickly followed those people and mounted his horse.
Chen Bing also sent out several sword and shield bearers to protect Xiao Mohe.
The two just left the distance. Shi Wansui walked up the gentle slope and looked at the burly warrior on the other side again.
"Just wait!!!"
After saying that, he led his troops to retreat quickly.
Xiao Mohe didn't care. He waved his shoulder and said, "If I hadn't been injured and was such a kid, I would have taken him down with one hand."
He looked to the left and right, "The enemy sent people to counterattack, maybe they have no intention of evacuating! Inform the general immediately!!"
"only!!"
When Shi Wansui caught up with the leading army with his hair disheveled and his face covered in blood, Wang Lin was shocked.
"What's going on?"
"It's okay. I met a tough guy. How about Xiao Mohe? We fought with him but failed to win."
"Xiao Mohe?"
Wang Lin was very shocked, "That guy is known as the most powerful general in the Chen Kingdom, and he is invincible in defeating Chen people. At your age, you can actually come back alive??"
Shi Wansui hesitated for a moment, "He seems to be injured, much more seriously than me. Otherwise, I might really be captured by him."
Liu Taozi glanced at him.
"No problem."
"Xiao Mohe became famous at the age of nineteen. He has been fighting for more than ten years. He is in his prime. You still have a lot of time. Don't underestimate anyone. When you go back, take good care of your injuries and keep exercising. You can fight with him again in the future."
Wang Lin laughed.
"At this age, I can fight with Xiao Mohe. In ten years, I'm afraid Long Live will become the most powerful general in the Northern Kingdom and will have no rival."
"Oh, by the way, except the general."
Chapter completed!
