Xu Huai and Wang Ju chilly returned to the low-lying land behind the forest. The people in Shuozhou were already ambushed, with white cloaks and robes as cover. The snow in the hills and valleys was dazzling. After looking at them for a while, it was difficult to see the abnormality.

.

At this time, there were many defeated soldiers who were forced to flee to Jingong Mountain. The north side of the woods was filled with messy footprints and blood, which did not explain any problem.

Even if five or six enemy cavalrymen who were ambushed before escaped, they would only believe that this was a group of defeated soldiers who had a strong combat power gathered together - even if they could attract some attention from the Chihu people,

It should be extremely limited.

Shuozhou troops entered the designated location and were ambushed. Of course, there was no need to worry about any problems. However, in Xu Huai's plan, he wanted to gather more than a hundred defeated soldiers around and deploy them in low-lying areas as bait, as if waiting to meet Liu Yan.

, Chen Yuan's remnants, this link is a bit troublesome.

These frightened soldiers, like frightened birds, finally touched the edge of the southern foot of Jingong Mountain, and could escape into the mountains in four or five miles. When Xu Huai and the others retreated, they all wanted to escape into Jingong Mountain in advance and were unwilling to stay.

It was acting as bait in the depression, but was stopped by Xu Xin'an and more than a dozen people.

"Does any of you know the map of mountains and rivers?"

Xu Huai heard Xu Xin'an talk about the situation and drove his horse to the group of defeated soldiers, tied the reins, swept his eyes calmly towards these people's faces, and asked.

"We know a little bit," said the two military officers, "but what does this have to do with us staying here and fighting with the cavalry? We are afraid that we will cause trouble for you when we stay!"

These two military officials had recognized his identities before. Xu Huai speculated that although their status in the army was not high, they should be serving in the headquarters of the commander or the military supervisory authority.

Otherwise, Xiaosheng and ordinary military officers of the Xuanwu army were usually in the military camp, so how could they have the chance to meet him?

Xu Huai turned over and dismounted, called the two military officers and other military officers who looked like ranks and looked like flag heads, picked up a dead branch and briefly marked the Jingong Mountain in the snow.

The topographic map of Shuozhou City came out and told them:

"You can roughly understand the mountains and rivers and steer the geeks - this is Jingong Mountain, this is Shuozhou City, this is Xishan. At least you must go from Jingong Mountain to Shuozhou City and escape into Xishan to safely escape back to Jing.

The state is now in the sky. The Chihu people invested limited troops west of Huairen, and they were unable to kill all the defeated soldiers who fled south and west, so they drove everyone to the mountains of Jingong as much as possible, for the next four or five months,

It will be covered with heavy snow, and even a wild bird can't catch it, and these people cannot escape.

Naturally, you will freeze to death and starve to death in the mountains. Even if you can successfully escape into Jingong Mountain at this time, it will take a few days to cross the mountains and ridges from Jingong Mountain to the edge of the southwest foothill to Shuozhou. Have you ever thought about it

No? Think about it, if you could reach the southwest corner of Jingong Mountain in ten days and half a month, how many soldiers could the Chihu people transfer to intercept them at that time?

You? Can you really escape from Jingong Mountain in the end and not be trapped and killed in the mountains?"

After the Chihu people annihilated the main force of the Yan army, they would use their all their might to move south as quickly as possible. It is impossible to care about the scattered soldiers and horses fleeing into the mountains and forests, but Xu Huai knew that the combat power was stronger in the West.

The military generals and soldiers are also complicated, and the military discipline is scattered. Even the orders of their own heads may be indifferent. If he wants them to follow orders at this time, he will have to be frightened and scared.

Jingyuan is full of mountains, and many military officials know that entering Jingong Mountain, there is no guidance from anyone who knows the way. Not to mention that they may not be able to walk near Shuozhou City in ten days or half a month, and they may not even be able to touch the mountain.

Not to mention what they eat in the mountains these days?

"Please save us by Xu Junhou!" several military officers shouted.

"I ask you, if you were stationed in Shuozhou and I, Xu Huai, were trapped in the siege of thousands of enemy cavalry, would you come to save us?" Xu Huai asked.

Several military officers looked at each other, all silently.

"We have saved you just now. Now we ask you to help you with us, and these people are still your Western Army robes. You just want to escape and ascend to heaven quickly, push three obstacles, how can you do this at this time

Open your mouth, want us to help you again? I, Xu Huai, owed you?" Xu Huai stared at these people coldly and asked in a deep voice.

"..." None of the military officials had the courage to look at Xu Huai and lowered their heads.

"It is said that there is no way for heaven to despair, but if people do not save themselves, they will despair it. You have been killed by the Red Guards, and it is useless for me to leave you. You can go, but you will be well, you

Don’t think about getting dry food, weapons and escape from Shuozhou. Shuozhou doesn’t owe anyone. If you want to save it, you can only save it as a person who saves it!" Xu Huai said with a tense face and waved his hand, "There are four more people in Shuozhou.

Qian Jianrui is here, but they all have parents, children, brothers and sisters. Facing the murderous Chihu cavalry, why did they not avoid their edge and abandon the city and escape, but still followed me into this chaotic place to help you in a hurry.

The Dayue robe who is at a loss? Are we stupid? Are we born to be humble? Even if you don’t fight for others in your life, you are so afraid that you dare not fight for yourself. If you escape, you will know that you can escape and escape back to your mother’s womb?"

"We know our mistakes and are willing to follow the orders of the Xu Junhou Army." Several military officials said.

Xu Huai let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "We are going to use the rugged terrain of Jin Gong Mountain to fight against the pursuit of Chihu cavalry, but if we want to retreat to Shuozhou safely at the fastest speed, we cannot hide in Jin Gong.

Go deep in the mountains. The only thing we can do is to gather more robes on the edge of Jingong Mountain. When everyone joins hands, when the enemy is strong, we will temporarily hide in the mountains to avoid the edge, or rely on the risk to defend

——You must know that just avoiding the edge for a while is for a better attack next time, but you must never just think about the word escape;

If the enemy is weak, we will go out of the mountain, walk west along the mountain edge, or harass the enemy's army, and help more robes, so that we can reach Shuozhou faster than being confused by the mountain road! However, to do this,

We must unite Jincheng and sacrifice ourselves for life - although I don't know how many people will escape in the end, the only promise I, Xu Huai, can give you is that I, Xu Huai, will never abandon you and you will go alone! If you are worried about acting as bait

It's too dangerous, so okay, I'll stay here to act as bait with you, what else do you have to say?"

"... Only the military commander's leader is in line!" Several military officials had nothing to say, and immediately expressed their willingness to obey orders.

These more than a hundred defeated soldiers came from Xiaosheng, and the Xuanwu army were all united. Xu Huai did not expect them to cooperate. He just asked a few military officers to lead a team, holding swords, shields, guns and spears, and the two teams faced south.

In a horizontal formation, the two teams formed an oblique formation on the flanks to prevent the enemy cavalry from rushing directly, and also left a gap in the middle for them to enter and exit on horseback.

It seems that they are rushing back, leading the remaining soldiers gathered here to wait for Liu Yan, Chen Yuan and others to come and meet.

Xu Xin'an asked someone to bring some big shields from the valley, and spears and arrows to replenish the remaining soldiers. Liu Yan and Chen Yuan led the remaining troops to move slowly. There were scouts lurking in the woods staring at the movements of both sides. Xu Huaijian still had time, and

He summoned Wang Ju, Xu Xin'an, Yin Peng, Wang Xian and others, and deduced the details of the ambush battle, calling Xu Xin'an, Yin Peng and others to return to the ambush.

Soon, dozens of Red Guards cavalrymen passed through the woods, stopped at more than a thousand steps away, staring at Xu Huai and the others.

Wang Ju glanced at the enemy scout and asked Xu Huai:

"The enemy's attention to the western wing is higher than expected, and they are likely to have paid attention to Shuozhou - if we gather two or three thousand or more soldiers on the edge of the southern foot of the Jingong Mountain, we will gather two or three thousand or more soldiers.

Get up and turn to Shuozhou City, which will likely attract more Chihu cavalry to intercept! Have you ever thought about this question?"

"..." Xu Huai nodded, saying that he had considered this possibility. Yu frowned, held the sword on his waist and said, "To be honest, it is not wise to fight hard with the main force of the Chihu cavalry at this time.

Behavior, but if it is destined to be unavoidable, I think it is better to fight early than to fight late!"

The attacking Yan army was intercepted last night. Although Xu Huai and the others were unable to send scouts into such a chaotic battlefield, they contacted many defeated soldiers at this time and still figured out some situations.

Unlike the Tianxiong Army, the main force of the Tianxiong Army was held in Datong City at that time, this time, the main force of the Xuanwu Army crossed the Huihe River and broke south. In the early morning, the main force of the Chihu Cavalry was cut off by the main force of the Chihu Cavalry on the south bank of the Huihe River.

At this time, most of the troops were just broken up, and there were still a few people who were actually annihilated or captured by the Red Hu cavalry.

Yingzhou City is southwest of Datong, and Yanmen Pass is even further west. After crossing Huihe, there are Liuling Mountain and Niangniangling Mountain to the east of Yingzhou City.

Although these mountains are far less powerful than Xingling in the south, they are one of the remaining veins and branches of the Yanshan Mountains, and are also deep and dangerous in the cliffs and rugged terrain, which is conducive to infantry hiding and cavalry entering and chasing.

After the passage to Yingzhou and Yanmen was intercepted, the attacking Yan army would inevitably have a large number of soldiers evacuated into Liuling Mountain, Niangniangling and other mountains nearby.

For the Chihu people, their more important task is to organize troops to capture Yingzhou City, and deploy a large number of cavalry troops on both sides of the Huangshui River, cutting off the passage from Liuling Mountain and Niangniang Ridge to Changshan, so that they can truly

Achieve the purpose of annihilation of the main force of the Yan army.

Although thousands of defeated soldiers fled westward in Yingzhou and Huairen, even though the Chihu people already attached importance to Shuozhou, they always held a secondary position.

Therefore, even if the scale of the gathering of defeated soldiers on the southern foot of Jingong Mountain was too large, it might attract some of the main forces of the Red Hu cavalry, and Xu Huai was not particularly worried.

What can be expected is that if a large-scale war cannot be avoided, it will definitely happen in the more than twenty miles of space from the southwest corner of Jingong Shan to Shuozhou City.

In other places, the enemy cavalry surrounded and the remnants of the defeated soldiers could temporarily retreat into Jingong Mountain to avoid the war; only in this gap should we break through hard, and we should also hurry before Cao Shixiong officially surrendered to the enemy and might send troops north to siege Shuozhou City.
