Early the next morning, Zhu Yuegang was about to ask someone to beat drums to attack.
But suddenly he was told that the camps in Heyang County and Beihai County were already empty.
And he seemed to be leaving in a hurry.
Even the stoves and tents were left in place.
Zhu Yue was shocked.
"what happened?"
"Where are the people?"
"Thousands of people left last night, and you didn't notice at all?"
Zhu Yue was angry.
"Sir, I just asked our sentries, and they said that there is indeed nothing unusual. The most important thing is that the troops from Heyang County and Beihai County are stationed at the edge."
"Moreover, our sentries were expelled by them when they went on patrol. The subordinates thought they would leave early in the morning, so they didn't pay special attention to them. But they didn't expect that they actually ran away overnight."
"Judging from the direction they left, it was not that they were running away, but that they entered Liaozhou in advance."
Zhao Da said speechlessly.
I have already scolded Wu Dayong and Zhou Yong in my heart.
"Enter Liaozhou in advance?"
"What do they want to do?!"
"Is it Zhou Yong?"
Zhu Yue slapped the table angrily.
I originally thought that the three groups of people arranged by me would go hand in hand, and they would be able to control and cooperate with each other, but I didn't expect that the people from the east group would run away first.
Now their chief officer is Zhou Yong from Beihai County. I have never heard that this Zhou Yong is so tough before?
Could it be said that all this was arranged by Ge Hong?
Did you calculate that I would use their troops from Beihai County and deliberately let Zhou Yong lead them forward to die?
Damn Ge Hong!
It disrupted the overall plan.
Zhu Yue frowned.
"Drum roll!"
"Let the troops from the middle and west routes attack immediately!"
Zhu Yue said coldly.
"Sir, these two troops from Beihai County and Heyang County actually disobeyed orders on the battlefield and should be killed according to the law!"
"Just let them go?"
Zhao Da was very angry on the side.
He was responsible for the coordination of the entire coalition, and he lost two parts of his troops without anyone noticing in one night, which made him lose face.
"Even if you want to kill someone, where will you find him now?"
"Forget it, let's go. Our troops are marching along the east road. I want to see what kind of tricks this Beihai County Ge Hong has planned."
Zhu Yue said slowly.
…
After a night of rapid march, Zhang Bao and others rushed all the way towards Liaozhou.
He kept a distance of more than ten miles from the people from Beihai County behind him.
After all, Zhang Bao and the others are all cavalry, and Zhou Yong also has some infantrymen. Naturally, Zhang Bao and the others have a tight grip on this aspect of marching.
"Sir, we have been traveling all night, do you want to take a rest?"
"The people from Beihai County behind will not be able to catch up with us anyway."
Wu Dayong asked Zhang Bao.
"No!"
"Keep going north!"
"According to the information we received, the 10,000 men from the Kled tribe also came in from the direct north of us, and they came very quickly!"
"Although there is no news now, judging from their footsteps, they should still be within that range!"
"Let the scouts rush on their way as quickly as possible. If they see other troops, try their best to drive them away. Do not be reluctant to fight!"
"Leave a small group of troops behind and pay attention to the movements of the rear army. The rest of the troops will advance at full speed!"
Zhang Bao said to Wu Dayong.
have to say.
Zhu Yue's intelligence system is still very powerful.
Although he is not from Liaozhou, he has a very clear grasp of the current situation in Liaozhou.
When arranging the combat mission in the evening, the important task of encircling and suppressing the Klie tribe was specifically given to the people of Beihai County and Heyang County. This was in line with Zhang Bao's wishes.
Zhang Bao and the others have been heading in the direction of discovering Ke Lie's tribe since they sent out troops last night.
The people from Beihai County behind them chased all the way and almost died of exhaustion.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Bao and the others couldn't march faster at night, they would have been thrown away long ago.
Now Zhang Bao left some people behind, on the one hand to monitor the movements of the people behind him, and on the other hand to paralyze the people in Beihai County so that they would not know Zhang Bao's true intentions.
For Zhang Bao and the others.
The rest of the grassland barbarians are not to be feared, only this team of Klei troops are the most critical.
Although Zhang Bao and the others were carrying explosives.
But it has been raining steadily in recent days. Although the gunpowder bags are wrapped in thatch and felt, they will inevitably get damp.
The power will naturally be reduced a lot.
Moreover, these explosives were somewhat cumbersome for Zhang Bao and the others' marching speed.
I plan to go straight to Huanglong!
First use the gunpowder to give the Kled tribe a heavy blow, and then continue to deal with them.
Zhou Yong and the others who were following behind were in a state of confusion along the way.
Since coming out.
Zhou Yong regretted it.
The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes. Logically speaking, even if there is any news from the governor, he should be informed first by his chief officer. How could it be possible to inform Heyang County.
And the troops in Heyang County were almost gone, so they sent someone to notify him?
At that time, someone should have been sent to confirm with the governor.
Zhou Yong had already guessed that this must be intentional on the part of Heyang County, so he followed in a panic.
But I actually believed their lies. The horse held the piece of paper in his mouth, the man held the grass in his mouth, and the whole journey was silent.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Even if he goes back now, he will be convicted of disobeying military orders, and he might be killed when he goes back.
Now I can only hope that I can kill more barbarians in the grassland, so that I can atone for my sins.
As a result, after following Heyang County, Zhou Yong chased desperately, but couldn't catch up!
They only have a thousand men in total. If they want to do something, a mere thousand men is simply not enough.
At this time, we must work with the people from Heyang County to barely protect ourselves.
And that's not all. According to the direction the Heyang County men and horses are walking, if they go all the way north, they are very likely to encounter the 10,000 men from the Klei tribe.
itself.
When the governor issued the order, Zhou Yong complained incessantly.
To use their combined 3,000 men to attack 10,000 cavalry is tantamount to hurling an egg against a rock.
No chance of winning at all.
So Zhou Yong's idea at that time was to drag him all the way and walk slowly!
Wait until the men and horses in the middle and west roads are almost beaten, and then join forces with them, maybe there will be another battle.
That's why I thought about communicating with Wu Dayong quickly.
As a result, this guy was lucky. He disappeared as soon as he left the camp. The entire camp was almost gone at night...
What's going on?
There is no such way to die.
Zhou Yong complained endlessly.
But there was no other choice but to chase the people from Heyang County. Fortunately, they didn't get too far apart along the way. The scouts they sent kept biting their rear troops from a distance.
Three days later.
Zhang Bao and the others had driven a long way, and apart from necessary rest and meals, they had hardly rested along the way.
If it weren't for the endurance of the horses, Zhang Bao and the others might have been faster.
"grown ups!"
"Discover the situation ahead!"
At this moment, a person from the front rushed back quickly on a horse.
