Xiong Wuwo's strategy of dividing his troops into two groups was very well thought out.
But in actual operation, problems quickly occurred.
Xiong Wuwo's 80,000-horse infantry has been trained for many years and has strict military discipline. Marching south, the army is in good order.
The troops from the Beijing camp who were escorting Emperor Daojun to Shanxi were not to say they were all trash, but at least they were uneven.
And now that we are on the run, people are in panic.
The army did not march three miles before some soldiers from the Beijing camp fled. There were some spies from the Imperial City Department mixed in among them.
The Han army's camp, the Chinese army's tent, and the rear tent.
Wu Nian was sleeping soundly. Unlike Emperor Daojun, he always slept well.
"Your Majesty. Your Majesty." In a daze, Wu Nian seemed to hear someone calling him. He shuddered, opened his eyes, sat up, and asked, "What's going on?"
A group of imperial guards, holding candles, lined up in front of Wu Nian.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial City Department's spies came with news. The Chu Dynasty soldiers divided into two groups and left the capital of Chu." The Ouchi guard told Wu Nian the news in detail.
Wu Nian was stunned, stretched out his hand and touched his chin and said: "The troops were divided into two groups? One way they carried the Emperor's banner and went south. The other way they went south without raising the Emperor's banner. They went to Shanxi."
The Imperial City Division's spies have limited levels and only know so much.
They didn't know exactly where Emperor Daojun was.
Now it's a choice between two.
It's possible.
The emperor is too important. Probably being closely protected by Xiongwuwo. The team going to Shanxi is the bait.
It is also possible that Xiong Wuwo built a plank road to cross Chencang secretly. The bear who raises the emperor's banner is the bait.
There is another possibility.
Xiong Wuwo could secretly mobilize his troops and lay an ambush in the middle of the night.
The Han army now only has a strength of 50,000 households. If we divide our troops into two groups and pursue them, we will be underestimating Xiong Wuwo's 80,000-horse infantry.
It is very likely that the bear will eat it all the way.
However, Dang Duan continued to suffer from the chaos. If we don't pursue him, the emperor will run away. After Wu Nian thought for a while, he raised his head and said to the Ouchi guards: "The messenger guards Po Lu, Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun, and Zhang Sheng commanded four soldiers of ten thousand households to chase the people in the west. Let them spread spies, be careful. ambush."
"Wang Gui stays and guards the camp."
"Yes." The Ouchi guard bowed in response and immediately went down to deliver the order.
The Han army camp suddenly became agitated. Countless soldiers were hurriedly dressed up and assembled under the organization of the officers.
Then, under the command of Zhang Sheng and others, four soldiers of ten thousand households pursued westward.
Wu Nian did not dare to neglect. With the help of the imperial guards, he dressed neatly and sat in the tent waiting for the news. Wang Gui dispatched troops and horses to guard four camps.
Inside the big tent.
The lights are bright.
Wu Nian's golden sword sat on the main seat, his eyes were very sharp.
Emperor Daojun was so frightened that he gave up the capital of Chu.
The next step is to capture the emperor alive.
If the emperor gets it, the world may be able to spread the word. The civil and military officials standing in the tent were also aware of this problem.
The collective excitement grew.
.............
The west.
On the avenue.
The team of Emperor Daojun was carefully prepared. It is equipped with carriages and baggage vehicles, and its attendants are also strong.
They walked quickly.
The people in the Beijing camp were mixed, but the old and the weak were all left behind, and the remaining strong ones were walking very fast.
The Han soldiers spent a lot of time from learning the news to preparing to send troops, but they did not fall into the ambush.
I just chased him all night but didn't catch up.
But after dawn, the situation changed.
Emperor Daojun's team slowed down. Even a horse will get tired, let alone a human?
But the Han army was different.
When it comes to running, the Han army is absolutely invincible.
noon.
now. The two teams stretched for a long time and had already left Chudu for more than a hundred miles.
rear. The vanguard of the Han army was Wei Polu.
He held a horse-shaped spear that was eight feet long and wore heavy armor, leading the way. It was so hot that I was sweating all over, but I was also extremely excited.
"Da da da." A fast horse galloped in front of him. When he arrived in front of Wei Polu, the knight reined in his horse and stopped, reporting: "General, we are less than five miles away from the Chu army."
"Very good." Wei Polu shouted, then he played with his horse and shouted: "Brothers, open the history books and take a look. There are very few people who can capture the emperor alive, not to mention the rare ones."
"Now it's my turn. Speed up and give me a hand."
The soldiers reined in their horses and dispersed, spreading Wei Polu's words. The morale of the Han soldiers was extremely high, and their speed increased by three points.
ahead.
Chu army troops.
The team was divided into several parts. The Dao Lord and Emperor rode in Luan Yu, and the civil servants, military officers, dignitaries, and their families rode in carriages and walked at the front of the procession.
Next came the elite Beijing troops, and finally the rabble.
This hundred-mile march was like a test for the Beijing army. The strong are in front and the weak are in the back.
It’s clear who is strong and who is weak.
Inside Luan Yu.
Emperor Daojun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, sweating profusely.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? Didn't Xiong Wuwo fly south under my banner? Why did the Han army not chase him, but instead chase me?"
"In this situation, let alone reaching Shanxi, I will be captured alive on the way. What should I do, what should I do?"
Emperor Daojun has been deceived and regrets it too much.
If I had known earlier, I might as well have guarded Chudu.
At least Xiong Wuwo's 80,000-horse infantry is still there.
"Da da da." A fast horse quickly caught up with Luan Yu from behind. The general on the horse had a square face and tiger eyes, and was extremely capable.
They are from the lineage of Song Zheng, the Marquis of Yunan, who was the founding hero of the country. His name is Song Yu. He is thirty-two years old this year. He is good at using horses, has outstanding martial arts skills, and has good ability to lead troops.
He is one of the generals in the Beijing camp.
After Song Yu chased Luan Yu, he said to Emperor Daojun inside Luan Yu: "Your Majesty, the Han army has sufficient physical strength. When our physical strength is exhausted, there is no need to fight."
"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the soldiers of the Beijing camp to form an array to stop the enemy. Your Majesty and the ministers will disperse. Your Majesty will take an ordinary carriage and reduce the target. Go to the Taihang Mountains."
"As long as we enter Shanxi, it will be much safer."
Emperor Daojun trembled, opened the car window and asked, "General Song. How long can you hold off the Han army?"
"I don't know." Song Yu shook his head with a gloomy look on his face.
"Okay. I'm sure. You must delay." Emperor Daojun said hurriedly. Then, he asked people to stop, got on an ordinary carriage, and dispersed with the civil and military officials and noble ministers.
When Song Yu was in danger, he was ordered to gather his troops and horses. There were thirty or forty thousand people in formation, trying to save the day.
It's a pity that the people and horses in the Beijing camp are uneven, and the terrain here is flat and there is no danger to defend.
His breaking up the queen is truly breaking up the queen.
The kind where there is no return.
soon. Wei Polu led his troops to kill him. When he saw the Chu army in front of him, he smiled contemptuously and said, "How dare you line up in front of me with such a military appearance?"
"Destroy them." He shook his horse and shouted sharply.
