Along the way, Su Yonglin led the pursuit troops sometimes by horse power and sometimes by manpower. Horse hooves and iron soles increased the battery life and travel time.
Then, he took advantage of the garrison cities along the way and asked the garrison in Nanpi and Qingchi counties to provide him with food and some supplies.
With advance preparations, the pursuit troops could eat hot food, drink hot water, and change into dry clothes, shoes and socks immediately after arriving at Nanpi and Qingchi.
The garrison troops in the two cities also thoughtfully prepared a lot of ginger soup for the pursuing troops to ward off the cold.
During the pursuit, the injured and sick soldiers were replaced in equal numbers by the defenders of the two cities. The injured and sick soldiers were left in the city to recuperate, and the elite soldiers in the city were transferred to the pursuit force to participate in the pursuit.
Relying on this kind of uninterrupted supply, Su Yonglin maximized the nutritional supplement and physical health of the soldiers and horses in the pursuit force.
So the pursuit troops were able to rush to Yanshan County as quickly as possible and in the best condition to prepare for the final decisive battle.
Huang Tian paid off his hard work. On the evening of the day he arrived in Yanshan County, news came from the forward sentries saying that traces of the Jin Army were found in the Yanshan County area and that the Jin Army was large in size.
Su Yonglin was overjoyed upon hearing this, and then forced himself to calm down, calm his racing heart, and made a comparison of the strengths of the enemy and ourselves.
The size of the Jin army was definitely larger than his two thousand cavalry, but their morale seemed to be low. Some of the Jin soldiers went to Yanshan County to rest, while some seemed to be camping outside the city.
Good guy, don’t you forget to echo the inside and outside?
In Su Yonglin's opinion, this was probably Wan Yanliang's arrangement.
He must live in the city himself, where he can keep out the cold and shelter from the rain. He also has to arrange for some soldiers to guard outside the city as a backup to guard against raids by the Liberation Army. The security is gradually increasing.
In this way, it is really difficult to eat the Jin Army in one go.
However, the Jin Army must be frightened in this state. So many of their cavalry rushed over brazenly, which was probably a huge deterrent to the Jin Army. Maybe the Jin Army would collapse without even fighting.
It was not the first time that Su Yonglin encountered the virtues of a frightened army. Without good discipline and organization, once frightened, no matter how elite the army was, it would collapse into little sheep.
So Su Yonglin called Xin Qiji to his side and decided to split up his troops and advance with him.
"You lead the troops to attack from south to north, making the gold thieves think that we are pursuing from south to north, prompting the gold thieves to flee north. I will lead the troops to detour to the north of the city to ambush, and wait for the gold army to escape to the north of the city and then kill them. It’s hard for him to escape even if he’s so beautiful!”
Xin Qiji was very excited that he had the opportunity to capture the Emperor of Jin alive with Su Yonglin.
No matter what, the other party is the Emperor of Jin.
The Kingdom of Jin was indeed the well-deserved overlord of East Asia before, and it was all-powerful. The Zhao Guan family of the Southern Kingdom were all his ministers in name.
Capturing such an overlord emperor alive was undoubtedly a milestone achievement for the Liberation Army.
From now on, the Liberation Army will surely soar into the nine heavens, and no one or any force can stop the Liberation Army's magnificent turn.
The Central Plains must be owned by the Liberation Army, and they will surely be able to build a glorious country and let this glorious glory shine on the entire world!
Xin Qiji's ideals can also be implemented and realized, and his hard work will not be in vain!
So he accepted the appointment with excitement, and took advantage of the dark and windy night to separate forces with Su Yonglin.
He led a thousand cavalrymen, their flags lowered and their armours wrapped in armor, their horses clamped and their horses in clasps, and they circled south, preparing to launch an offensive from south to north.
At the same time, Su Yonglin also led people to the north of the city to make preparations, ready to intercept and kill the escaping Jin army at any time and inflict a wave of secondary damage on them.
The action time is set in the early morning, when the sky is dark.
Wanyan Yiying did not notice this. He only felt very tired and distressed. The soldiers under his command were also tired and distressed.
Camping on a rainy day, the cold wind combined with the humid air makes it twice as cold. Although the rain has almost stopped at this moment, only a few drops are still falling unwillingly, but the cold air is still there. of.
After staying up like this all night, when Wanyan Yiying woke up and was about to lead the team to continue setting off, she discovered that many soldiers were suffering from high fever and could no longer move forward.
"What's going on? How could this happen?"
Seeing many soldiers lying on the ground with high fever and unable to get up, Wanyan Yiying became a little anxious and quickly asked the few military doctors accompanying the army.
"The weather has been very cold in the past few days, coupled with the rain, many soldiers have been caught in the rain, their bodies are damp, the cold air has invaded, and there are not enough things to keep out the cold, which has led to a large number of soldiers falling ill."
The military doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There is no medicine available at the moment. When soldiers have a high fever, it is impossible to ride a horse, so..."
The military doctor thought for a while, but still did not tell the reason why [the best things to keep out the cold were collected by officials and officers, and soldiers generally did not have access to good things to keep out the cold], so as not to make Wanyan Yiying unhappy and ask for help. Question yourself.
It seems that the sick soldiers were unable to react.
Some smart soldiers knew how to keep out the cold, letting their two horses lie down. He slept between the two horses, using the body heat of the horses to keep out the cold, and successfully survived the difficult night.
Some soldiers were incompetent, stupid, or disliked the smell of war horses, and felt that they would be smoked to death if they didn't freeze to death, so they didn't do this, and they actually froze to death.
At present, those sick soldiers can no longer move forward, and there are quite a few, hundreds of them.
Wanyan Yiying frowned and thought hard for a while before making a decision.
Move all these sick soldiers to Yanshan County, find a house to settle them down, and then the army retreats.
At this time, there is no need to pay attention to not abandoning or giving up. The Jin Army does not have this tradition. Life and death are determined by destiny, and wealth is in heaven. Whether they can survive depends entirely on themselves.
At dawn, the transport work was almost over, and Wanyan Yiying ordered the army to reorganize and prepare to set off.
At this stall, Xin Qiji came out.
Xin Qiji led a thousand cavalry to suddenly rush out, directly to the Jin army's station outside the city, galloping on horseback, killing wantonly, and caught the Jin army by surprise.
The Jin army did not expect that the Liberation Army would appear here at all. They were so frightened that they immediately fell into chaos, running around, completely losing order.
Wanyan Yiying was also greatly shocked. He had no idea why he had arranged vanguard troops and rearguard troops to protect the main force, but was still overtaken and attacked by the Liberation Army.
Has the rearguard been completely wiped out?
He thought that his escape speed was not slow. He ran as fast as he could with one person and two horses, and he would not be overtaken by the Liberation Army.
But this is the case, and he has to admit it even if he doesn't admit it. And at this critical moment, where is the time to delve into this type of issue?
"No chaos! No chaos! Hold still! Hold still!!!"
Wanyan Yiying took his own bodyguards to seize the time to reorganize and try to gather more troops to fight back the pursuers of the Liberation Army. However, the Jin soldiers were frightened and too panicked. Except for a few bodyguard cavalry, they could still maintain their composure and basically exploded. Camp status.
Seeing that there was no way to save the day, Wanyan Yiying was gradually overwhelmed by fear, so he gave up the last struggle and chose to gallop north with the cavalry. It was important to escape.
After crossing Yanshan County, Wanyan Yiying didn't care about anything and only focused on escaping for her own life. However, before she could run far, she ran into an ambush led by Su Yonglin himself.
"Kill the thief!!!"
Su Yonglin waved his sword, led the soldiers to charge away, and captured Wanyan Yiying's small number of personal cavalry.
Wanyan Yiying was caught off guard and had no time to organize a resistance. The guards' cavalry were basically killed.
Wanyan Yiying himself tried his best to resist. He led the last bodyguard to make a desperate struggle and tried to fight his way out. However, until all his bodyguards were killed, he did not fight out. Looking around, he saw murderous intent on all sides. The Liberation Army Cavalry.
It's good now, it's over, it's completely over.
Wanyan Yiying raised his sword and looked at the Liberation Army cavalry around him, despair and fear filling his heart.
