"General!"
A scout team rode up to Lin Ye, jumped off the horse, clasped his fists and said: "Lou Fan's defeated troops did not dare to flee directly to the north. They were heading east, seeming to want to bypass General Ning's team and then return north. .”
Lin Ye was squatting in front of the map and looking at it carefully, and nodded when he heard this.
He nodded heavily with his finger somewhere on the map: "Split your troops into three groups, and use the force of a wolf to drive a flock of sheep. We must intercept the routed enemy here."
The cowardly generals surrounding the circle unanimously agreed: "Yes!"
The generals of each army returned after receiving the order, and prepared to pursue each other according to Lin Ye's instructions.
Lin Ye divided the cowardly army into three teams, with two on the left and right, making a large detour all the way to the south of the defeated army to set up an ambush, making sure to drive the defeated army to continue running in the northeast direction.
After the assignment was complete, Lin Ye looked at Ning Haitang, who looked a little haggard: "I have been chasing for two days and two nights without any rest, and you are always rushing to the front, while others take turns to rest but you don't sleep. This doesn't work."
Ning Haitang said: "You haven't slept either."
Lin Ye said: "I am strong and I know."
Ning Haitang raised his eyebrows as if provoking: "Why don't I know you are so strong?"
Lin Ye: "How dare you provoke me on this occasion?"
Ning Haitang: "On what occasion should I dare not provoke you?"
Lin Ye looked around, then snorted and said: "There is no chance to teach you a lesson here, so I'll let you go for now."
Ning Haitang laughed, and then pointed to the place Lin Ye pointed out on the map just now: "This is a good place."
Lin Ye said: "Yes, this is a good place. I will teach you a lesson when I get there!"
Ning Haitang said: "You... shut up! I mean, in such a good place, fighting such a good battle, you plan to let me go back to sleep?"
Lin Ye said: "It's still too late for you to catch up with us after you get some sleep."
Ning Haitang said: "At such an important time, it is impossible for me to ignore it."
Lin Ye thought for a while and nodded: "Okay."
When talking to a woman like Ning Haitang, Lin Ye knows what attitude to use. She is so strong, but you think she can't hold on, then she will prove it to you. "
Lin Ye said: "You and I have to take turns commanding, so you go to sleep first..."
He raised his finger and pointed at the sky.
In the sky, a huge bird is hovering there. Even at a high altitude, it can still give people a great shock.
He waved to the sky, and the giant bird swooped down.
Lu Junji controlled the giant bird to hover about a foot above the ground, frightening the horses around him to neigh.
"General Ning and I need to take turns to rest. Can someone sleep on your big bird?"
Lin Ye asked.
Lu Junji said in a resentful tone: "Don't I need to sleep..."
Lin Ye: "You are a man."
Lu Junji immediately sat up straight because of these four words, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, so General Ning can come up and rest for a while, and forget it."
Lin Ye: "Why..."
Lu Junji replied matter-of-factly: "You are a man too."
After saying that, he waved to Ning Haitang, who walked up to him with a smile.
This big bird is big enough for one person to lie down comfortably, and it does not hinder the person who controls the big bird in front.
As the big bird soared into the sky, Lin Ye mounted his horse and led the cavalry of the Cowardly Army to continue heading due south.
They need to use faster speed to get in front of Lou Fan's defeated troops. After detouring, they will attack the Lou Fan people head-on.
It was about forty miles behind their team.
Huben Cavalry General Xumi Jinghong squatted by the stream and washed his face vigorously, shook off the water from his hands and looked forward.
He has been chasing for two days and two nights, and still has not caught up with the Cowardly Army.
"madman......"
Xumi Jinghong muttered to himself.
Just half a day ago, his scouts told him that there was a battlefield ahead, and the cowardly army had caught up with Lou Fan's defeated troops and were hunting.
Xumi Jinghong thought, "How can I be without this?" Although it was very hard to travel before, he had missed too many battles. From Caoshu City to the south, he chased after him all the way.
The Cowardly Army resolved the battle extremely quickly. Every time their scouts discovered a battle, they rushed over. Every time they arrived at the battlefield, they saw corpses all over the ground.
This time was no exception. They rushed up with a roar, only to find that the battle had ended for at least half an hour. The remains of Lou Fan people were everywhere, not even a single living person.
The Cowardly Army was really ruthless in killing people. In order not to give the Loufan people a chance to breathe, they did not keep any prisoners along the way. Wherever Huben passed, they saw corpses.
"General!"
A scout hurried over, dismounted and reported: "A team heading north was found about thirty miles to the west without a flag."
Xumi Jinghong guessed that it was a Lou Fan army that had avoided the main force of Lin Ye's cowardly army. After all, millions of Lou Fan people had been scattered.
Since we can't catch up with the cowardly army, we will eat the defeated army.
With a wave of his hand, he led the tiger cavalry and rushed towards the place discovered by the scouts.
Huben is a heavy cavalry. Each heavy cavalry has a retinue. The retinue's mission is to carry the armor for the heavy cavalry and serve the master well.
They also have horses, and there are two of them. One horse carries the heavy armor of the Tiger Cavalry and the armor of the Tiger Cavalry horse. The other horse carries the retinue and other necessary things, such as food and blankets.
When marching, the Huben and Huben cavalry all rode lightly. When they were not in a hurry, they cherished their horses and were even more willing to lead them.
A Huben heavy armored cavalry actually consists of two men and three horses, so the size of the Huben army does not seem small.
Because they had to chase Lin Ye, the heavy armored cavalry did not wear armor at all along the way and used themselves as light cavalry. Of course, their load was much greater than that of the light cavalry.
I rushed over along the way and intercepted the team heading north, only to realize that it was the Jade Army...
This is the reason why the Jade Army did not raise a banner because they were transporting a large amount of food and supplies.
Probably because they heard that there was a fierce fighting in this area, in order not to attract the attention of the Loufan people, they put away their flags and were always on guard.
Xumi Jinghong stepped forward to check and found that it was his eldest brother Xumi Pianruo who led the army to escort the grain and grass.
After these two people met, their first words were exactly the same.
"Where's Lin Ye!"
After saying this sentence, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and then said another sentence together. There was only one word difference in this second sentence.
"Aren't you from the north? Haven't you seen Lin Ye?"
"Aren't you from the south? Haven't you seen Lin Ye?"
After finishing speaking, the two brothers looked at each other again.
"I'm just carrying the food and baggage. Why can't you catch up with Lin Ye?"
"What I carry may not necessarily be lighter than what you carry."
Xumi Jinghong said: "I'm going to chase Lin Ye now. Don't follow me. Lin Ye is as cowardly as a light cavalry. He doesn't even risk his life when he runs. You can't catch up."
Xumi Pianruo: "You can catch me. You can catch me. Why are you here?"
Xumi Jinghong: "You'd better be a little self-aware."
Xumi Pianruo: "You'd better have some."
Xumi Jinghong glared at him and waved to his subordinates: "Replenish dry food from Master Xumi's team and leave as soon as you have finished."
Xumi Pianruo: "You..."
Xumi Jinghong: "You're welcome."
After speaking, he picked up two long cloth bags containing dry food from the carriage. They were shaped like belts. When full, they looked like fat snakes. They could be hung on the shoulders and carried around.
Xumi Jinghong and other men got enough dry food, waved, and the team set off again, chasing Lin Ye's march.
Xumi Pianruo shouted from behind: "According to what you said, Lin Ye should be intercepting Lou Fan's defeated troops in the direction of Dapu Town. You can go directly to pursue them there."
Xumi Jinghong turned around and shouted: "Should I use you to teach me?"
Xumi Pianruo: "If you weren't my brother, I would break your legs."
Xumi Jinghong said: "I am your brother, you can also fight."
After speaking, he urged his horse forward.
"Sir, where are we going now?"
Xumi Pianruo's men asked: "Are you continuing towards Caoshu City?"
Xumi Pianruo sighed: "The decisive battle should be in the direction of Dapu Town. Even if we go to Caoshu City, we won't see anyone. After the war, the military supplies are scarce, and our food and grass are just in use. Send the order to the direction of Dapu Town." Walk."
Two days later.
Xumi Pianruo arrived at Dapu Town with grain and grass supplies. He dismounted and walked towards the town with his arms moving. Along the way, he could see a large number of corpses of Lou Fan soldiers on both sides of the road.
When I walked to the entrance of the town, I saw Xumi Jinghong standing on a high place, standing there alone, as if he was in a daze, but also seemed to be worried.
It's obviously summer, but Xumi Jinghong is standing there, but it makes people feel like he's snowflakes fluttering in the north wind, and a plum blossom stands proudly in the snow...
Seeing him like this, Xumi Pianruo laughed.
"Again, you ate shit all the way and didn't catch up?"
When Xumi Pianruo laughed at Xumi Jinghong, he himself was also filled with pain.
Logically speaking, as long as a normal person has intercepted Lou Fan's defeated troops in Dapu Town, then of course this is the place for the decisive battle.
Both he and Xumi Jinghong made the same judgment, and they didn't feel that their judgment was wrong.
Moreover, Dapu Town itself is quite suitable for a decisive battle, and the terrain is favorable to the Jade Army.
However, although there was fighting here for a while, it obviously did not look like a decisive battle.
Lou Fan's troops are strong, and even if they are defeated one after another, the number of retreating troops should be hundreds of thousands.
They did not dare to spread out too much, for fear of being divided and eaten by Lin Ye and the Hu Ben cavalry.
Only by maintaining a large-scale team gathering can we have a chance of fighting back.
"Judging from the dead, the fighting was brutal, but the number of troops lost by the Loufan people is not enough to say that they were severely damaged."
Xumi Jinghong looked at Xumi Pianruo: "You have time to laugh at me, why not guess where Lin Ye is now."
Xumi Pianruo said: "You are so powerful, why do you ask me? Don't you need my teaching?"
Xumi Jinghong said: "Of course I don't need you to teach me about the art of war. I ask you for advice because Lin Ye is not a normal person at all, and he doesn't use any normal art of war at all."
Xumi Pianruo said: "He is a general and you are also a general. You ask me about military affairs? You are better off guessing than asking me."
Xumi Jinghong: "I'm not asking you about military affairs. I told you that Lin Ye is not normal."
Xumi Pianruo: "I can guess that he is abnormal?"
Xumi Jinghong: "Because you are not normal either. Based on the communication between your fellow patients and your almost identical sick thoughts, you should be better than me."
Xumi Pianruo said, "My illness is hereditary. Ask my father."
Xumi Jinghong: "I didn't inherit it."
Xumi Pianruo: "I'll write it down and talk about it after I get home."
Xumi Jinghong looked at the sky: "Since you were a child, besides complaining to me, what else can you do?"
Xumi Pianruo: "He will add fuel and jealousy to it."
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something and turned around and shouted: "Bring the map here."
His soldiers quickly sent the map over. Xumi Pianruo opened the map on the ground, squatted down and looked at it carefully for a while, and then a look of relief appeared on his face.
"I probably guessed it."
Xumi Pianruo pointed to a location on the map: "If I were Lin Ye, I would drive Lou Fan's defeated troops here."
Xumi Jinghong stared at that position, with a shocking realization in his eyes.
"How could I forget this place?"
Xumi Jinghong turned around and ordered: "Blow the trumpet and order the entire army to assemble. We must set off within half an hour. The team will not wait for those left behind!"
His soldiers rushed out and circulated orders among the camps.
"I hope it's not too late."
Xumi Jinghong looked at Xumi Pianruo: "I'm not as good as you this time."
Xumi Pianruo: "When was the last time you were really stronger than me?"
Xumi Jinghong was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned his horse and walked away. Behind him came Xumi Pianruo's shout: "It stands to reason that you should not chase after a poor enemy, especially when you get to that place, please be careful!"
Xumi turned around and shouted in shock.
"Know it!"
"Brother."
Hearing the words "eldest brother", Xumi Pianruo laughed stupidly.
At this moment, one hundred and twenty miles away.
Lin Ye looked forward, his eyes full of coldness.
"Go down with the order and surround the mountain."
here.
Beiting Mountain.
