It's finally dawn.
"My dear Ma Jun, how dare you fight your grandfather!"
Likewise, Ma Ruhu took the long knife and went to call for formation.
But, as usual, no one paid attention to him.
"No, no."
Lu Yida is a meticulous person.
The Northern Army camp is too calm today!
"Let me go over and have a look!"
As he said that, Lu Yida slowly urged his horse until he reached the horse's side like a tiger.
"General Ma, yesterday you called Xiao Ma Chao, but there was still movement in the enemy camp. Why is it so quiet today?"
When he mentioned it, Ma Ruhu immediately felt that something was wrong.
The two looked at each other, their hearts trembled, and they struck up their horses and ran dozens of steps toward the enemy camp.
This time, I saw it clearly.
I saw a few grass-tied sergeants standing at the entrance of the camp, and the same was true inside the camp. Looking from a distance, they were really shadowy.
"Escape!"
Ma Ruhu reacted immediately.
"Report to General Lin quickly. It seems that it was General Gu who burned the enemy's food and grass, forcing Xiao Ma Chao to withdraw his troops at starry night. This guy is really powerful. All the troops were withdrawn overnight, and they were able to hide it from me. wait!"
Lu Yida also woke up.
The two immediately turned back to the formation.
"General Lin, the enemy has escaped!"
As soon as Ma Ruhu met, he explained the situation concisely.
"Escaped?"
Lin Zhijing was also very surprised, but after thinking about it, it was probably because General Gu succeeded in attacking the enemy's granary at night last night, forcing them to withdraw.
So, what else is there to say?
"Send the order, the whole army is to move out, and the troops are divided into two groups. General Ma, you lead 20,000 troops and intercept the imperial navy. General Lu and I will go after Ma Jun!"
Lin Zhijing gave the order decisively. After speaking, he picked up the reins of his horse and galloped away with his own light cavalry.
At this time, it had been nearly three hours since Ma Jun had evacuated.
Lin Zhijing chased all the way until noon, but still saw no sign of the enemy.
"Grandma, this guy runs so fast!"
After a small curse, Lin Zhijing had no choice but to order the soldiers to rest on the spot and set up pots to make rice.
Not long after, a group of men and horses were seen coming ahead, stirring up smoke and dust.
"Meet the enemy!"
The former army did not see clearly and quickly formed a formation.
"It's me, Pei Yunzhao!"
Seeing that the former army was getting ready, the Biao men and horses also stopped, and one of them raised his voice to announce his home.
"It's General Pei!"
As soon as he saw that he was one of his own, he quickly rushed forward to see what happened.
Sure enough, it was the elite cavalry led by Pei Yunzhao and Gu Peng. Pei Yunzhao's arms were wrapped in white cloth, with blood stains visible, while Gu Peng was even more disgraced, covering his lower abdomen, which was also wrapped in white cloth. Obviously, both of them were injured.
Behind them, of the three thousand fine knights, there were only about a thousand left, all of them with blood-stained faces and looking exhausted.
"Quick, come down and rest!"
The general immediately told them to dismount and brought Pei Yunzhao and Gu Peng to see Lin Zhijing.
"Thank you for your hard work, generals!"
As soon as he saw the two of them, Lin Zhijing strode over immediately.
"Finally, I'm lucky enough to live up to my fate, but it's a pity for those brothers!"
Pei Yunzhao said with tears in his eyes.
It turned out that the two of them successfully found the enemy's granary. However, Ma Jun is not an idle person. There are more than 10,000 soldiers guarding the granary.
In order to complete the mission, the two men led a sudden attack with three thousand elite cavalry. At first, they did catch the opponent off guard and burned most of the enemy's food and grass. However, they were outnumbered after all and were almost defeated.
Later, fortunately, the two of them fought to the death and finally escaped in the dark. Unexpectedly, Xiejian met Ma Song who came to help. Ma Song's martial arts is very powerful, only inferior to Ma Jun. In a hurry, they were stabbed by him one after another.
However, in the critical moment, several of Pei Yunzhao's personal guards risked their lives to resist Ma Song, which gave the two men a chance to escape. Later, under the cover of night, they finally fought out with the remaining Jingqi.
