The Heilu army is the real elite under Tang Feng. Only by dealing with them can you know that they are not easy to deal with.
This Heilu army, unlike the Heilu held by Su Qi'an, was carefully selected from prisoners of war during Tang Feng's battle with the barbarians in the southwest.
Not only are each of them strong and strong, but they also have very sophisticated combat experience in the forest.
The strength of these people assembled into an army should not be underestimated. It was them who made it impossible for the Dongshan Army to breathe.
Su Qi'an would be soft on the local soldiers who were chasing them, but in the face of this Heilu army, they would annihilate them if they could.
After all, Heilu is not only powerful in combat, but also very loyal and will not easily betray his master. The fact that Tang Feng can train these prisoners of war to such an extent is enough to show that his methods are extraordinary.
Because he was an elite confidant of Tang Feng and was powerful, he naturally looked down upon soldiers from other places.
During several operations, there was a lot of friction between the Heilu army and the soldiers in the rear.
But there was no way, because the Heilu army was Tang Feng's prey. Basically, the soldiers suffered the loss and endured it silently.
Therefore, the Heilu army was even more unruly and unruly. No one could control them except Tang Feng's orders.
Therefore, the vanguard of the pursuit was this Heilu army. If Tang Feng had not given the order, they must have contact with the soldiers in the rear. With their temperament, they would have rushed forward like a group of mad dogs.
In most of the pursuit and suppression, the Dongshan Army's casualties were caused by the Heilu Army.
Therefore, for the Heilu army, the Dongshan army had long wanted to get rid of it quickly.
After waiting for so long, today is finally the day. If this Heilu army can be annihilated, it will definitely cause Tang Feng to suffer for a long time, and he will undoubtedly break an arm.
Song Biao, Er Meng and other generals suppressed their excitement and waited quietly for Su Qi'an to give the order.
Just as Su Qi'an was giving instructions on the task arrangement, suddenly, a scout came quickly to report.
"Report, sir, fellow captains, traces of the Heilu army have been found at the outer security posts. They are currently less than twenty miles away from us."
"Hmph, these bunch of bastards came here really fast. Let them be complacent for a while, then they will take the lead and see if I don't praise their spirit."
"That's right, this Heilu army will be eaten by us sooner or later!" Ermeng agreed.
Su Qi'an nodded, waved his hand, and the scouts retreated. Su Qi'an looked at the people in front of him and said loudly.
"Do you all understand your respective tasks?"
"The general will understand." Everyone shouted in unison.
"Okay, let's go!"
Following Su Qi'an's order, the figures in the open space began to move in an instant.
In less than a few minutes, he disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, about twenty miles away from the back of the dense forest, a group of armored, burly, and dark-faced troops were looking ahead, looking at the dense forest in front of them.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand. The next moment, the Heilu army dispersed in an instant, disappearing into the sea like countless fish.
Although they seem to be scattered, if you look closely, you will find that each of them maintains a certain distance from each other, and is closely connected with each other.
They are like countless dots that come together to form a huge fishing net that wraps this dense forest.
As time goes by, the small fish and shrimps in this forest will always be caught in the net.
To other soldiers, this kind of hunting is like finding a needle in a haystack, but they are natural hunting masters.
The Conglin in front of them made them feel like a fish in water. Under such advantageous terrain, it was completely easy to catch up with Su Qi'an.
If it weren't for their small number of troops and the slow follow-up speed of the soldiers at the rear, they might have killed Su Qi'an and all the others in one fell swoop.
How could it be like now, letting them escape again and again?
Seeing his men disperse, the leader of the group, Heilu, turned his head and said to the person next to him.
"Where are those cold soldiers?"
This person is not ordinary
Tong soldiers, but Tang Feng's liaison officer between the Heilu army and soldiers.
At the same time, he is responsible for reporting the latest information to Tang Feng's intelligence personnel.
The liaison officer said softly, "Turn back, the soldiers in the rear are almost ten miles away from us."
After listening to the report, the leader of Heilu was very dissatisfied. He shook his head and said, "It's too slow. I really don't know what these cold soldiers are doing. Are they here for fun?"
"I really don't understand why Mr. Zhou Mu would let this group of weak soldiers participate in the encirclement and suppression. This is really slowing down our progress."
"No, give them an order immediately and ask them to catch up quickly. They must stay within three miles. If they can't keep up, don't blame us for leaving them."
"Leader, you know, they are just local soldiers. They usually only participate in simple suppression of bandits. They rarely engage in such high-intensity pursuits, so..." the liaison officer wanted to explain to these soldiers.
But the leader of Heilu couldn't listen at all and directly interrupted the liaison officer's words.
Leader Heilu shook his head, his face full of cruelty, and said coldly, "There is no need to explain. I, the leader, only know that killing Su Qian and other Dongshan troops is the most important thing. Everything else is just an excuse."
"I still say the same thing. If they can't make it within the deadline, they can explain themselves to Mr. Zhou Mu."
"Anyway, without them, our Heilu army can still wipe out Su Qian. They are just a bunch of useless trash."
After saying these words, the leader of Heilu went straight into the dense forest, leaving only the liaison officer with a helpless look on his face.
To be honest, he still sided with the soldiers in his heart. These black men were originally prisoners of war.
If they weren't appreciated by Lord Zhou Mu, how could they be so arrogant in their turn.
The liaison officer felt uncomfortable, but he could only swallow his anger because this group of Heilu troops were the popular people around Zhou Mu.
Tang Feng had already spoken for all the combat orders regarding the encirclement and suppression of Su Qi'an, and all of them obeyed the orders of the leader of Heilu.
The pursuit between the two sides continued, and three days passed in a flash with this relentless pursuit.
Su Qi'an and the others fled with the Heilu army from the north of Xizhou to the south, to a place called Manghuang County.
Manghuang County borders Chuandu County, but to the south of Xizhou is the south gate of Xizhou.
The geographical location is remote, and there are many mountains and cliffs in the territory. It often only needs to occupy a few passes to become invincible.
Fortunately, Tang Feng had made preparations in advance this time, and he would never suffer the loss of Hanzhong County again.
The governor of Manghuang County was ordered early to send troops to guard all the passes in the territory.
The purpose is to prevent the Dongshan Army from raiding these places, so that they can use the terrain advantages to fight defensive battles with them.
Because of the advance preparation, Su Qi'an's progress in seizing the pass was not smooth.
Without hesitation, they made a decisive decision and withdrew directly. They did not leave, but retreated into the endless mountains in Manghuang County.
After receiving the news, Tang Feng immediately ordered the pursuing soldiers to guard all entrances and exits outside the mountain range as quickly as possible.
Su Qi'an and other Dongshan troops were about to be trapped in the mountains. Just when the order was issued, 10,000 Xizhou soldiers who returned from Kyoto returned to Xizhou under the leadership of Liu Xin.
Tang Feng immediately led his people to greet him and looked at Liu Xin who had come all the way.
Tang Feng hurriedly greeted, "Thank you Commander Liu for taking the trouble to come all the way. On behalf of the people of Xizhou, I would like to express my gratitude to Commander Liu."
Regarding Tang Feng's compliment, Liu Xin looked indifferent and had no intention of arguing with him. After scanning the crowd, he said coldly.
"Lord Zhou Mu, I, under His Majesty's order, are here to resolve the conflict between you and Dongshan Marquis and bring Dongshan Marquis back. But why are you still encircling and suppressing? Do you want to disobey His Majesty's order?"
Tang Feng shook his head repeatedly and said with an innocent face, "Commander Liu has mistakenly blamed me. It is not because I question the encirclement and suppression. I also want to have a chat with Dongshan Hou Haosheng."
"But Dongshan Hou didn't give any chance for peace talks, and even kidnapped his eldest son.
I had no choice but to mobilize my troops and asked Commander Liu for his forgiveness. "
"As far as I know, Dongshan Marquis has always been a person who doesn't offend me and I don't offend others. If he does this, does it mean that Mr. Zhou Mu has not done anything wrong?"
"Commander Liu has wronged me even more. I have always admired Dongshan Marquis. How could I do anything detrimental to Dongshan Marquis?"
"If there's anything big happening recently, it's just that Dongshan Hou's subordinates betrayed him and destroyed Dongshan Hou's base camp in Xizhou. This has nothing to do with me."
"If Commander Liu doesn't believe it, you can go and check it yourself."
Tang Feng's expression did not change at all when he said these words, and he looked completely confident.
Tang Feng might not be able to defeat Su Qi'an for a while. There was nothing he could do about it, but he still had the ability to silence the county officials in Xizhou.
And when he came this time, Liu Xin was just cooperating. He mainly wanted to see Su Qi'an.
If he really wanted to visit the so-called informed people one by one, he wouldn't have the time.
And just in case, Tang Feng had already warned Magistrate He of Lingbei County in advance.
Let him control the mouths of the local people. If one day he hears something bad, it will come from Lingbei County.
Then don't blame him for being rude. Magistrate He, who was reminded, naturally knew what to do. He shut up very honestly and strictly disciplined everyone immediately.
There is no way, Tang Feng is the state pastor of Yizhou. Although he will not touch Lingbei County for the sake of reputation, there is a limit in everything, if it touches his bottom line.
Not to mention a small Lingbei County, even the entire Shandong County, he has a way to completely shut up.
In order to protect the people, Magistrate He had no choice but to do this.
Fortunately, when Liu Xin came this time, just as Tang Feng thought, he didn't have the intention to visit. He looked back and said directly.
"I don't have time to chat with Mr. Zhou Mu here. Please tell me the specific position of Dongshan Marquis and I will talk to him."
"Okay, Commander Liu, please come here." This time, Tang Feng surprisingly did not shirk, but agreed readily.
Not only that, he even accompanied him there in person. In this way, he had a clear conscience. The instigator of everything was Dongshan Hou.
Commander Liu nodded, without stopping, and set off with the Xizhou soldiers. However, he did not notice that when Tang Feng turned around, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, as if some female tactic had succeeded.
