In the Forbidden Army formation, Li Yuan swung his whip and whipped the big black horse's buttocks, and loudly ordered: "Bite the enemy troops and don't let them distance themselves!"
Nearly four hundred Forbidden Army cavalry continued to chase the Zhennan Army cavalry team like a gust of wind, biting their tails tightly. Until he was a few feet away from the mouth of the valley, someone from behind reminded Li Yuan loudly: "Generalissimo, we can't pursue him anymore. After leaving the mouth of the valley, we will reach the Zhennan Army camp. It will be dangerous if we pursue him any further."
Li Yuan held his breath and continued to shout loudly: "Don't stay, rush over and drive all the rebels to death! Charge!"
The soldiers naturally obeyed the order and used all their strength to drive the horses under him in pursuit. Li Yuanyuan had a plan in mind. At this time, he was bluffing with the help of the favorable location. If the enemy gave up the pursuit before leaving the valley mouth, the enemy might react. Come here, at this moment of life-and-death pursuit, only by biting the tail of the Zhennan Army cavalry can they make them run away without thinking.
Song Mojie really couldn't think too much about the Forbidden Army's intentions now, because he had no time to care about it, especially when he passed the place where Jiang Kai and his men died, he whipped his mount several times. Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, who knows whether a sudden rain of arrows will rain down from the cliff? So they could only lead the crowd to run desperately to the exit of the valley.
The sound of hooves rumbled and the sun was blocked by smoke. Li Xu Zhiyuan reached the end almost in the blink of an eye. Song Mojie's soldiers and horses rushed out of the south pass of the valley, and suddenly they became even more unstoppable like wild beasts running all over the mountains and plains. Although Song Mojie did not dare to organize a U-turn counterattack, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scattered troops and horses of his escaping men fleeing after running out of the valley entrance.
Song Mojie and the remaining 500 or so riders ran wildly until someone reminded him that the Imperial Guards were not chasing him. Then he heaved a sigh of relief and reined in his horse. He looked at the sparse and half-missed horsemen around him, feeling a huge feeling. The feeling of humiliation arose spontaneously, and Song Mojie wished he could slap himself in the face a few more times.

"Young Marshal, please don't blame yourself. It's not that the Young Marshal isn't brave, it's just that the Imperial Army is too cunning!" A general came forward to console him.
"That's all, go back to camp quickly and reorganize your troops! After that, you can send people back to the entrance of the valley to investigate and find out the movements of the Imperial Army after leaving the valley, and report back as soon as possible." Song Mojie shouted.
The general nodded in agreement, turned around and whispered to himself: "Now I want to know the movements of the forbidden army. When I left the valley entrance, I was so scared that I didn't dare to look back. Of course I don't know where the forbidden army went. Bah, WTF......"
It is said that the Forbidden Army cavalry divided into two teams after rushing out of the valley entrance. Li Yuan ordered Fu Hong to lead two hundred cavalry in sheep disguises to pursue the fleeing enemies, but they were only in sheep disguises. In fact, they chased further and further away. The purpose of this was to maintain pressure on the Zhennan Army cavalry and drive them farther away. Of course, if they really pursue it desperately, if the opponent turns around and fights for their lives, and then finds that the Forbidden Army is actually at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers, it may be self-defeating.
Li Yuan himself led the remaining cavalry to guard at the entrance of the valley, waiting for Fu Hong's troops to return. After all, this place is too close to the main camp of the Zhennan Army, and you may encounter soldiers and horses of the Zhennan Army wandering outside to inspect the camp.
But after tea time, when he saw the galloping Fu Hong and his entourage appearing at the mouth of the valley, Li Yuan was completely relieved. Fu Hong was worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. He always followed orders and prohibitions, and was not reckless in doing things. The Zhennan Army camp was evacuated five hundred steps away as soon as possible.
After the team was assembled, Li Yuan ordered the entire army to march eastward and quickly retreat to the Forbidden Army camp. Those who lost their horses would ride with two people. Although the horses were overloaded and could not go far, time was precious at this time and they must stay away from this place immediately. . The sentinel reported that the Zhennan army had regained its composure and was gathering, and had sent people to investigate at the mouth of the valley. There seemed to be signs of turning back. At this time, they could not care less about the life or death of the horses.
The soldiers and horses quickly moved eastward along the narrow valley. After an hour or two of fighting, the soldiers' excitement wore off and they all looked extremely tired. The hot sweat on their bodies was blown away by the cold north wind, and everyone turned pale and shivered from the cold.
On the way back to the camp, we passed through desolate mountains all the way until we left the valley and headed east. There were no tall peaks around. There were only rolling hills and low slopes, and desolate land covered with grass. The majestic landscape ahead was majestic. The imperial army camp stood impressively, and Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, because with the current state of the soldiers, it was impossible for them to experience another battle.
But in general, Li Yuan also observed the strength of Fu Hong's Xiongwu soldiers from today's battle. Fu Hong really did not brag. Not only was his execution ability amazing, but his combat power and endurance were also first-rate, and he was able to ambush the defenders. The charge can be switched freely, and there are very few mistakes during the battle. This is indeed beyond Li Yuan's expectation. It should be noted that during the Western Expedition to attack Langzhou last year, the chaotic and powerful army under Zhou Ben was not what it is today. The appearance of an elite teacher.
Fu Hong rode his horse to catch up with Li Yuan's horse from the rear. He was entrusted by Li Yuan to go to the rear of the team to check the enemy's situation. Without waiting for Li Yuan to ask, Fu Hong said: "General Marshal, the Zhennan Army is not pursuing us. The sentry is only at the mouth of the valley." He wandered around for a while and then left, he must have been scared out of his wits by us, haha!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Fu Tongjun. Let's go back to the camp to rest." Li Yuan said with a smile.
"This is the responsibility of the general! By the way, Generalissimo, I have something to report to you." Fu Hong whispered: "Do you still remember that boy named Huang Daoquan? When we were busy fighting just now , he actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos and sneak away, but thanks to the bravery of the two soldiers guarding him, they followed him all the way and knocked this kid unconscious again... General, I would like to ask the Grand Marshal, if you want to take this kid - —”
Seeing Fu Hong secretly making a gesture of raising a knife and lowering it, Li Yuan suddenly exhaled a breath, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Isn't this person thinking of returning to the Forbidden Army camp to report his merits? Why did he run away?"
"But I don't know this. But Grand Marshal, do you really want to bring this person back to the camp? With his bad mouth, we can't afford to slander the reputation of His Highness King Yan. A seller seeking glory, The last general suggested killing him with one blow."
Li Yuan did not hesitate and said with a sneer: "Don't worry, just ask someone to shut his mouth. How can we, an army of 200,000, still not be able to stop a mouth? The reputation of the royal family's stomach, how can we tolerate a despicable villain?" Easily defiled? Doesn't he want to see His Highness? When he returns to the camp, the commander will immediately satisfy him and take him directly to His Highness's tent, fulfilling his wish."
Fu Hong understood immediately and loudly rode away to give the order. Soon seven or eight cavalrymen left the team and waited around a yellow horse to escort him slowly. On the horse's back was Huang Daoquan, who was unconscious and tied up. The Forbidden Army camp shrouded in the setting sun ahead seemed like a giant beast with its mouth open, ready to bite anyone with ulterior motives...
