An hour later, Suo Chao and Zhou Jin led the remaining more than 3,000 soldiers to cross mountains and ridges. The retreat was too fast and too fast, and the Song army was not well prepared at all.

Along the way, many soldiers fell behind or became deserters in private. From the beginning, there were only less than 4,000 people left.

He felt far away from the enemy, and Suo Chao called for orders to stop the march.

So far, Suo Chao still couldn't believe it. He had already gained an advantage and was about to defeat the enemy. Unexpectedly, a group of troops suddenly emerged and completely turned the situation around.

Suo Chao knew very well that after this defeat, there was no hope of turning the situation around.

He was in a very bad mood.

The Northern Army wanted to resist the Liao army, and these 50,000 troops were already the largest force that Daming Mansion could draw.

If this army is lost, unless Daming Mansion is out of defense, it will be difficult to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebels.

The Northern Army has no strength, and if the Western Army loses again, then...

Suo Chao didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Suo Chao was haggard and seemed to have lost weight, with no light in his eyes. He had no idea where the future of the Song Dynasty would be?

Suo Chao only rested for less than half an hour. A spy who was on guard outside hurriedly responded. "General, the enemy is catching up again!"

When Suo Chao heard this, he cursed fiercely. "Are those thieves all dogs? So chasing them closely, aren't they tired?"

Zhou Jin shouted anxiously: "Master, what should we do now?"

Suo Chao shouted, "What else can I do? Keep running. Retreat to Cangzhou first!"

When Song Jun heard the order, even if he was tired, he could only drag his tired body to continue running.

Suo Chao and the others had just run less than 3 miles. Li Ying, who was ambushing on both sides of the road in advance, saw Suo Chao and the others coming, and immediately shouted loudly: "It's now, let's go!"

Two or three ropes made of rattan were suddenly lifted from the shallow and ambushed soil and tightened.

Suo Chao and the others were too tired and their vigilance was not as good as usual. Even though the vine rope was not buried in a hidden way, they still didn't notice it.

When the war horses were stirred by the rattan, they were so tired that they immediately lost their center and fell to the ground.

Suo Chao and Zhou Jin flew out directly because of inertia.

They fell heavily to the ground, and when they realized that they were suppressed by more than a dozen men.

Hu Cheng laughed excitedly and shouted, "Hahaha... I've captured these people alive. Now we have finally made contributions!"

Li Ying looked at Hu Cheng with contempt and was indignant. This guy had a good fortune and had a sister. Otherwise, with this guy's ability, he would have ruined the Hu family long ago.

Li Ying commanded his troops to surround the Song army. He raised his gun and shouted loudly: "You generals were all captured alive. You are all surrounded. If you don't want to die, just surrender quickly. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy! Surrender will not be killed!"

At the warning of Li Ying, his soldiers and horses shouted: "Submitted people will not be killed!"

Faced with the Lu family army's momentum, the already terrified soldiers of the Song army became panicked. They were shocked by the Lu family army's momentum and felt scared.

"We are willing to surrender! We are willing to surrender!" The weapons in the hands of the Song soldiers were thrown to the ground.

Seeing that Song Bing surrendered, Li Ying smiled happily. This time he finally made military achievements.

Later, he was valued by the general, led the army alone, and became successful. It was no longer a dream to be granted a wife and a son.

that is……

Looking at Hu Cheng who was so excited that he was expressing his words, Li Ying was a little distressed. It was a bit difficult to take this guy with him!

...

When Lin Chong heard Li Ying and Hu Cheng and two people caught Suo Chao alive, Zhou Jindi's news, Lin Chong's expression looked very beautiful.

Disdain, dissatisfied, unhappy... and then a little relieved.

"Forget it, even if you give your elder brother and give your mistress a face. Give them all the credits!" Lin Chong shouted to Lu Fang: "Lu Fang, send someone to deliver good news to the general. Just say that we will defeat the Song army and capture the enemy's chief general alive. Uh, remember to mention the achievements of Hu Cheng and Li Ying in the battle report! Just mention one sentence!"

It was very happy to defeat the Song army, but when he saw that the credit was snatched by Li Ying and Hu Cheng, Lin Chong was a little dissatisfied, but he could only pinch his nose and accept it.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, a fast horse galloped into the military camp outside Dingtao

In the central army commander's tent, the main civil and military subordinates of the Lu family army gathered.

"General, why did you urgently call us?" Hu Yanzhuo asked in a little surprise.

If the general is fine, he usually will not summon his subordinates to discuss matters, and he will allow the general to train his subordinates.

Now that he actually sent someone to call them over, there must be something important. As soon as he entered the tent, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't wait to ask.

Lu Da picked up the battle report from the table in front of him and said with a smile: "The two troops of the Song Dynasty have been defeated, and we have no worries anymore!"

Hearing that the two troops of the Song Dynasty had been defeated, the camp was immediately in an uproar...

After reacting, Hu Yanzhuo and the others immediately shivered with excitement.

There was no obstacle in the rear, so they could finally let go of their hands and feet against the Song army in front of them.

"Zhu Wu, how are the training of those new recruits who have surrendered now?" Lu Da nodded slightly and asked Zhu Wu loudly.

"Don't worry, General, many generals have trained very seriously. After more than half a year of training, the new recruits are already familiar with our army's formation and orders. As long as you win a few more battles, you can hone the momentum of our army!" Zhu Wu replied quickly. "At that time, they will still become elites like our army!"

"Okay!" Luda nodded and praised the generals. "You are very attentive, I am very pleased. Now there is no obstacle in the future. The training of new recruits has been completed. You can fight against the Song army again in the west and unify the north!"

On the ninth day of the seventh month, Lu Da led a 70,000 army to fight toward Jiyin.

However, he received the battle report one day later than Luda. Seeing that the two groups of soldiers were defeated, he was surprised by the strength of the Lu family army. Old Zhong Zhengluo was very worried about whether he could defeat the Lu family army.

After thinking about it over and over again, Master Zhong decided to guard for a while and see the enemy's abilities before talking about it.

Backed by Jihe, Zhong Shidao led the 120,000 Western Army to imitate the twenty-eight constellations, set up twenty-eight camps, blocking each important road, waiting for the attack of the Lu family army.

Five days later, Lu Da led 70,000 Lu family troops to Jiyin. He found that the Song army's Western Army camp was ahead. Lu Da led Zhu Wu and several of his main subordinates to ride horses to check the enemy's situation from a distance.

Seeing the vast camp not far away, Lu Da was very surprised. His entourage raised a ladder to push the platform. Lu Da led Zhu Wu to the stage to watch.

After coming down, Zhu Wu smiled bitterly and said to Lu Da: "General, Mr. Zhong has announced the twenty-eight star formation!"

Lu Da didn't know much about formations. He knew that Zhu Wu was proficient in formations and asked, "How to break them?"
Chapter completed!
