Lin Feng led his men in pursuit and never stopped.
As night fell, everyone was already carrying torches and heading forward in the dark. But the further they go, the darker the night becomes, and they have penetrated further into the hinterland of Qi State.
Xun Peng was very worried. He naturally wanted to capture Tian He, but he felt uneasy in his heart.
Everyone knows the benefits of capturing Tian He.
However, it has already penetrated deep into the hinterland.
Xun Peng persuaded again: "Shuai Lin, we have chased so far again and we haven't caught up yet. Do we still want to continue chasing?"
"certainly!"
Lin Feng answered firmly.
Lin Feng had no intention of giving up unless Tian He was captured. This was an excellent opportunity. As long as Tianhe is captured, the war between Qin and Qi will be extremely easy. It is simply impossible to say that Qin State destroyed Qi State. Qi State is not weak, and with the current national strength of Qin State, it is impossible to do this.
Analyzing the overall situation, the Jin State and the Yan State in the north may not agree, and it is impossible to allow the Qin State to destroy the country.
It is possible to cut off a piece of meat from Qi State.
This is Lin Feng's plan.
First weaken the state of Qi, then strengthen the state of Qin, and then plan it step by step.
Lin Feng looked at Xun Peng and said in a deep voice: "Xun Peng, the scouts have spread out first. Moreover, Wang Can has been sneaking into Qi State to understand the terrain of Qi State. Wang Can is familiar with these places and he knows the situation , you don’t have to worry about anything.”
"Here!"
Xun Peng stopped talking.
He was just expressing his attitude. Don't pursue the enemy when you are weak, or go deep into the enemy's hinterland. These are taboos in the use of troops.
Lin Feng and his men continued on their way. It was almost early in the morning, but they still couldn't catch up. Seeing that the soldiers under his command were tired, Lin Feng decisively asked the soldiers to stop and rest where they were, to recuperate their spirits for the time being.
When the soldiers were resting, Lin Feng looked at Wang Can and ordered: "Wang Can, please arrange for a group of soldiers to go to the front to inquire about information and let them go ahead. At the same time, look for nearby villages and find local wealthy families to borrow food. As long as Qi State If the big family cooperates, everything will be easy to deal with. If they don't cooperate, then we will deal with it."
People are outside, far away from the large team, and have no food for the time being, so they can only resort to extraordinary measures.
There's nothing we can do about it.
It was impossible for Lin Feng to pity the people of Qi and not care about the stomachs of his own soldiers. What's more, all the wealthy families in Qi are extremely rich and have plenty of food. Qin also has aristocratic families and old aristocrats, but Qin's aristocratic families are far behind those of Qi and Jin.
Wang Can nodded and said: "The general will make arrangements immediately."
He quickly arranged it, and a group of soldiers left first.
Lin Feng and others took a rest for an hour and a half. Because it was summer, Chou Shi was no longer the darkest time. There was even a full moon hanging high in the sky, and the surroundings could be seen clearly through the night, but the sight could not be far.
"Keep on going!"
Lin Feng took the people and set off.
The speed of walking was not fast in the night, but I still continued to move forward.
After chasing all the way, another hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye, and the sky was already bright. Lin Feng and his party still did not catch up with Tian He, even Lin Feng was a little shocked at this time. Qi Emperor Tian He is like a rabbit. He retreated all night and has not met anyone yet.
Along the way, Lin Feng's team actually caught some lone Qi deserters and knew that Tian He was still retreating.
It’s just that I haven’t caught up yet.
Lin Feng and his party continued on their way, not far away, when the people sent out last night came back. Three hundred soldiers came back with a batch of dry food, which was all dry food such as bread and bread. At least the rations for today were enough for the time being.
Everyone ate where they were, and everyone was already hungry, so they wolfed down breakfast and drank water. The soldiers had food in their stomachs, and after resting for a while, all the soldiers became energetic again and became energetic.
Lin Feng looked at the people around him. There were still only three thousand people around him.
This is the person who keeps chasing.
Lin Feng said loudly: "We have been chasing us all the way. I know how hard it has been for us. I know best. We can persist because all of you are elites. However, the emperor of Qi, Tian He, is not. Even if he is If people retreat while protecting them, they are still holding on for dear life."
"So I am determined that we will pursue Tian He with all our strength. Even if Tian He is captured today, he will not be able to hold on for long. As long as Tian He is captured, you will all be heroes."
"Everyone can receive more awards."
When the soldiers heard this, they were in high spirits.
Lin Feng's intention is actually very simple, which is to boost morale. After leaving the battlefield, chasing for a day, and staying up all night, the soldiers were very tired. Although they ate dry food and drank water and felt a little energetic, the fighting spirit of the soldiers was still affected.
All we encountered along the way were some small shrimps, and the number of people became sparse. Many people have been chasing for such a long time and find it difficult to catch up.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Feng made a special statement.
"Set off!"
Lin Feng said no more and gave the order.
The army continued on its way. When Lin Feng led the people and continued on their way, the sun was already shining brightly near midmorning.
When the Qin army pursued them, Dou Zhene, Tian He and his party were fleeing with fewer soldiers around them. So far, too many people have fled, and there are only about a thousand people left by Tian He's side. Many people simply cannot survive.
All night long, Qi's soldiers were running away. After stopping for a while to rest, it didn't take long and I found that the Qin army was chasing after me.
As a result, he was busy retreating again. With the continuous retreat, all the cavalry were exhausted, including Dou Zhene, who was hungry and exhausted.
As for Tian He, let alone that.
He has been living in the palace all his life, with rich clothes and fine food, and he has never been embarrassed in life. This time, after running all night, I was completely hungry and my spirit was unprecedentedly depressed.
The skin on his riding legs was worn out, and it seemed as if his legs were not his own.
Tian He was really out of energy. He looked at Dou Zhene and said, "Dou Zhene, I can't hold on any longer."
Dou Zhene advised: "Your Majesty, if we stop now, our spirit will be completely broken and we will not be able to continue running. Your Majesty, I will be familiar with the road conditions. We still have more than thirty miles ahead of us to reach Linyuan." City, you can rest when you reach Linyuan City. At the same time, gather soldiers to serve the king. Stop now, and the Qin army will catch up and it will be over."
Tian He shook his head and said: "I really can't hold on anymore, so I need to rest. Just rest for a quarter of an hour. Within a quarter of an hour, the Qin army won't be able to catch up."
Dou Zhene sighed and finally nodded in agreement.
Tian He immediately turned over and dismounted, lying on the ground, breathing heavily. He was extremely tired, but the burning pain in his legs and the stiffness in his legs kept him from falling asleep.
Many soldiers around him fell asleep on the ground.
Dou Zhene sighed, it might be difficult to stop this time. Everyone has reached their limit and can no longer hold on.
Dou Zhene himself was exhausted. He sat next to Tian He and closed his eyes to rest, trying to restore his energy as much as possible.
He also dozed off and squinted. In his daze, Dou Zhenye suddenly trembled, as if he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around. He was surrounded by his people. But when he listened carefully, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
In the distance, there was the sound of horse hooves.
Oops!
After everyone was exhausted, no one was alert at all.
Even he forgot to be vigilant.
"The Qin army is coming, retreat quickly, retreat quickly."
Dou Zhene shouted, but there was still loud snoring around him. Many people were still sleeping and could not wake up at all. Even Tian He next to Dou Zhene was the same. At first Tian He had difficulty falling asleep because of the pain in his legs, but after Tian He fell asleep, he slept like a dead pig.
Dou Zhene continued to shout, and many people woke up around him, but their eyes were confused and they had lost their fighting spirit. In the blink of an eye, Dou Zhene saw a group of cavalry appearing on the horizon of the official road behind them, galloping towards them quickly.
The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, it could be seen clearly.
It's Lin Feng!
Dou Zhene clearly saw the person rushing at the front.
He had seen Lin Feng shouting in front of the two armies, but now he saw Lin Feng coming to kill him. His eyes turned red. He wanted to avenge the commander-in-chief.
Dou Zhene got on his horse and rushed out without hesitation.
If you can't escape, charge forward and fight.
Dou Zhene rushed towards Lin Feng, but just as he was in front of Lin Feng, before the horse hammer in his hand could fall, Lin Feng swept it with a swing. The weapon collided and the horse was knocked away. The hammer swiped at Dou Zhene's body. With a bang, Dou Zhene was knocked away.
thump!
Dou Zhene fell to the ground and vomited blood.
He was already exhausted, but now he had taken a blow and could no longer get up.
Lin Feng continued to ride his horse forward, and his soldiers quickly surrounded the Qi cavalry.
In a blink of an eye, Lin Feng spotted Tian He, with a smile on his face.
Finally caught the big fish Tian He.
