"Huhu."
A Han soldier panted violently. He ran forward in a panic. From time to time, he looked back, as if there was some terrifying beast chasing him behind.
The armor on his body had been completely wiped out during the run.
In order to run ahead of everyone, he threw away the armor on his body while running.
But there was only one Huanshou sword that he held tightly and did not dare to loosen at all.
After getting into the forest, the escaping Han army let out a breath of turbid air and fell softly under a tree. The violent rise and fall of his chest represented that he was exhausted at this moment.
"Sorcery, absolutely witchcraft."
Recalling the scene in the morning, the fleeing Han army trembled all over.
So much so that he didn't notice at all that behind him, a strong man with dull eyes but well-armored was approaching him little by little.
"ah!"
The cold blade touched his neck, and the escaping Han Jun screamed and almost jumped up. If the blade hadn't cut his skin and made him wake up, this man would probably be dead now.
As the dull-eyed strong man arrived, a group of new troops dressed as Liao soldiers also arrived, and it was one of them who controlled the fleeing Han army with a knife.
"you.!"
The Han army trembled even more violently. After running away for so long, he had already entered the forest, but he didn't expect to be discovered.
"Hahaha, following the magic soldiers will indeed be rewarding. Come and take two of them and send them back to Peiping together with the prisoners. We will then pursue the other defeated Han troops!"
"promise!"
In the morning battle, the Han army had no ability to resist the cannons. After seven or eight rounds of shelling, the Han army's front army collapsed.
Together, the central army, the left and right armies, more or less defeated many soldiers.
These scattered soldiers were directly abandoned by the alert Wang Ze. He led the remaining 200,000 or so Han troops to retreat towards the two counties of Shanggu and Yuyang in an attempt to withdraw from this dangerous area that was obviously a pocket formation.
Zhang Qi, who broke out halfway, was very close to Wang Ze's heart. The 500 heavy armored cavalry and 2,000 light and medium armored cavalry he led directly divided the battlefield.
Let Wang Ze lead the remaining troops to retreat in an orderly manner, while the defeated Han army dispersed into the three counties.
These people were naturally Zhang Qi's. The tigers and eagles attacked the two armies to pursue the Han army, while the new army was left by Zhang Qi in Youbeiping to capture the defeated Han army and garrison it.
As for those who retreated with Wang Ze.
Haha, they can't run away.
——
No matter how fast the retreat of the large army was, it was only slightly faster than the marching speed.
Zhang Qi led more than two thousand medium and heavy armored cavalry to chase them with little effort.
The two armies of Tiger, Ben and Eagle are also on their way quickly. As for the Crouching Tiger, they have to be pulled by carts.
There is no way, the weight of the cannon is destined to be inconvenient to move. This is a field gun cast by Zhang Qi. It is of small caliber. If it is changed to a large caliber, it can only be disassembled and transported, and then reassembled somewhere.
The fishing net composed of Yuyang Shanggu County has already tightened the remaining 200,000 Han troops in its pocket.
From the moment Wang Ze decided to launch an in-depth attack, it was already declared that this war would end with Zhang Qi's victory.
But what he wants is more than just this little bit.
More than two thousand cavalry stood on the hill, watching Wang Ze's large army flee towards Zhuojun.
It's a pity that they don't have this hope in this life.
"Send orders to Qingzhou for a decisive battle with Cheng Buchang in one month. Our troops will provide support from the direction of Bohai County."
"Invite the Tiger Crouching Army and the Zhuxuan Army to board the ship today and rush to the Bohai Sea to land."
"promise!"
Finished issuing the order.
Zhang Qi looked into the distance on the hillside.
Over there is the Han Dynasty, and it has also been Zhang Qi's long-cherished wish for these years.
He is a Chinese citizen.
What he wants to do is to make the Chinese nation the absolute master and the only master of this planet.
Capturing these 300,000 Han troops would not satisfy Zhang Qi today.
He will start with these 300,000 Han troops, go south from Yanmen, take the hinterland of the Central Plains, and force the emperor's gate! ——
"Thank you for coming in time, otherwise we would have fought naked with the Han army to the death."
Going up to the valley camp, Wang Li was talking to Hu Shui with a smile on his face.
With the help of You Yi Army, the Liaodong Army's armaments buried in the reeds had been taken out. Wang Li also knew that the 60,000 Yongle Army had also established a defense line in Yuyang County.
"It's just a small matter. I haven't seen him for many years, but General Wang is still so good at calling people."
Hu Shui's face was also full of smiles.
Each of these generals who control an army has been implanted with spiritual points by Zhang Qi, so their relationship in private is also very strong.
"Hahaha, you are still so sinister and eccentric."
"Okay, let's stop chatting. Although Your Majesty's order has not come yet, you and I have guessed that Your Majesty wants to completely eat the Han army."
"Now, the defense lines of Yuyang and Shanggu counties have been established, but there is still a gap in the north."
"So I want you to divide your troops, one to patrol back and forth north, and the other to serve as a timely rain on the front to supplement the combat strength. What do you think?"
Wang Li and Hu Shui explained their plans.
Now there are Yuyang County to the east and Beiping County to the right, and the Han army is also within the defense line of Yuyang County to the south. The Liaodong Army is guarding the west, and he will not let a Han army go out.
Then the Han army's only retreat was to the north in the direction of the Great Wall.
If the Huns could come in from outside the Great Wall, then the Han army would naturally have the possibility of leaving from within the Great Wall, and what Wang Li wanted to do was to ruin this last possibility.
Hu Shui looked at the map and thought about it. After a while, he nodded.
"Leave it to me. I will leave 10,000 Youyi soldiers for General Wang. I will lead 40,000 soldiers to patrol north. If I find the Han army, I will inform the general."
Wang Li nodded.
"That's good."
After a brief exchange, Hu Shui once again led You Yijun into action.
Today's Youyi Army has grown to a total of 50,000 people. Except for the 30,000 people who came from the Liao area at the beginning, the others are prairie warriors he has absorbed over the years.
Today's grassland has acquiesced in Hu Shui's position, but he has not responded.
Under the governance of officials sent from Liaodi, Juyanze has now become a half-cultivated and half-pastoral state. Relying on Juyanze's rich water system, there are now 50,000 to 60,000 acres of fertile land, and the number of herds has exceeded Tens of millions.
Of course, tens of millions of herds cannot be afforded by living in Yanze alone. They are nurtured by the grasslands of the entire Hexi Corridor.
