Chapter three hundred and twentieth two will strive for merit (eight)
Li Yinbin reminded him, "General, the last general has recruited one person. According to this person, Tian Qifeng is quite ambitious and has always wanted to capture Jinzhou. This time Tian Shizhen surrendered to our army, which must have caused Tian Qifeng's dissatisfaction. Tian Shizhen is old and can't control his son is normal."
"Tian Qifeng." Luo Shijin had a cold face and silently recited Tian Qifeng's name. No one knew what he was thinking.
Li Yinbin was a little moved and continued, "General, whether it is true or not, let's catch the thief and ask."
"Catch it?" Luo Shijin narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look at Li Yinbin, and asked cautiously: "What do you think?"
Seeing that the words had come to this point, Li Yinbin could only make up his mind and said, "The last general is willing to lead the troops to pursue the bandit army. He will definitely capture all the bandit army and avenge General Hu."
Luo Shijin stared at Li Yinbin for a long time, and kept making Li Yinbin feel irritated. When he thought that the request for me just now would not be successful, he slowly said: "Hu Zhonglong just got ambushed. If you chased him rashly, how can you guarantee that you will not get missed?"
"Precisely because General Hu was just in a vain, General Hu will be extremely careful in his next actions and will not repeat General Hu's mistakes. Moreover, General Hu suffered heavy losses, and the bandit army that ambushed General Hu will not be much better. Maybe he is hiding in a corner at this time. On the other hand, General Hu has 3,000 people. As long as General Wu chases him, he will definitely capture the enemy and ask the General to fulfill his wish."
"Forget it." Luo Shijin was not arguing with him. He was eager to make contributions. It would be a good thing to let him go and try it. As long as he was in the rear, even if he was surrounded again, as long as he arrived in time, nothing big would happen. So he said, "If you encounter a large number of enemy troops, you don't have to fight with them. You just need to hold them back and wait for my reinforcements to arrive, so you don't have to worry about not being able to take down the thief army. Do you understand?"
Li Yinbin was a little moved. He was eager to make contributions and was anxious to climb up. He was likely to be on an equal footing with Luo Shijin in the future. Unexpectedly, Luo Shijin not only did not mind at all, but would help him sincerely and protect him. How could such a superior not be moved? Perhaps Luo Shijin also considered part of himself, but it was Li Yinbin himself who really had a life-related relationship. Seeing Li Yinbin firmly said: "Yes, general, don't worry, the last general will do as he did."
"Well, you go." Hu Zhonglong, the guard, lost his combat power in a short period of time. Luo Shijin still had to stay here and send Hu Zhonglong and other remaining soldiers back to Pingli City, where they could get more adequate care.
"I will say goodbye at the end." After saying that, Li Yinbin clasped his fists and bowed, and then led his three thousand men to follow the traces left by Li Shichun's men when they retreated.
Looking at the figure of Li Yinbin's tribe, Luo Shijin sighed, but didn't say a word.
Li Shichun was very alert. Not long after he ran out, he had already noticed a large number of people following him, and his heart suddenly sank. Li Shichun ambushed Hu Zhonglong's three thousand men with a thousand people and caused the other party to suffer heavy losses. It was very exciting and exciting to say, but only he understood the bitterness in it.
So far, nearly half of the 1,000 troops he brought out have lost, and more than 520 remaining troops followed him to escape. Even among the more than 520 people, nearly half of the soldiers were more or less injured. These people could not run fast at all, and they could not take a long shot. It was only a dead end to escape with these people.
Although the war horses under his crotch were constantly running, Li Shichun's brain was running rapidly. He raised his eyes and saw a relatively gentle hillside. Li Shichun immediately ordered: "The army left the official road and ran towards the jungle on the mountain."
Li Shichun knew his own advantages very well. Most of his soldiers were natives in Ziyang County. Ziyang County was surrounded by mountains and Ziyang County was built under a large hillside. Therefore, under the difficult living conditions, the people of Ziyang County had already developed the ability to cross mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground from birth. Most of the Pei family army were recruited from Henan. How could they be afraid of mountains and like mountain people who grew up in the mountains?
Therefore, as soon as they entered the mountains and forests, the army under Li Shichun's command entered the sea like fish, and birds flew to the sky, and their pace was not much slower than on the flat ground. On the other hand, after Li Yinbin's troops were chasing from the official road to enter the mountains and forests, the entire army's marching pace was simply slower and unknown.
Fortunately, Li Shichun's army was under his command, and so many wounded people seriously slowed down the pace of the army, which led to the distance between the rest of Li Yinbin's troops being continuously reduced despite the favorable circumstances of Li Shichun.
This is not a solution. The wounded must be placed in a place, otherwise they will be caught by the enemy sooner or later. Li Shichun pushed away the branches that were bounced away from time to time. In order to hide, they did not even dare to cut down trees and open the road. They could only push the branches and thorns along the way, and they did not dare to break them. Otherwise, the Pei family army could chase them along the way they drove.
When he arrived at a ridge, Li Shichun suddenly ordered, "Wang Xuan, you hide with the wounded soldiers, I will lead the pursuers away."
Wang Xuan did not hesitate. Now was not the time to refuse. He nodded and then led a group of wounded soldiers to a place with higher mountains, denser forests and overgrown weeds. He would disappear. After seeing them leaving, Li Shichun also led the remaining soldiers and quickly left in the other direction, and even had the spare energy to clean up the traces they passed.
Without the drag of the wounded soldiers, Li Shichun's pace was obviously much faster, and he suddenly stretched the distance. Now it was Li Yinbin's turn to be confused. "Why are there no trace of the thief? I'm about to catch up just now."
"General, this must be the wounded soldiers left by the thieves and fled with other soldiers." Chen Tianming took the opportunity to go forward and said. Chen Tianming was the leader of the bandits that Li Yinbin recovered some time ago. Although this guy left the bandits' nest and came to the Pei family army, he was born optimistic and had a good mouth, but he could still make a fortune in the Pei family army. He soon became the captain of the brigade and had a hundred people under his command.
Chen Tianming has worked hard in this mountain for many years, and there have been eight years without ten years. He has long known this jungle. Naturally, he knew that the slow-moving people suddenly disappeared. He either found a place to hide or abandoned the people around him. Only in this way can he explain why such a change occurred.
"You're right." Li Yinbin nodded, recognized Chen Tianming's statement, figured out the other party's situation, and how should he deal with it next? Li Yinbin fell into thinking, and three thousand pairs of eyes were brushing together to focus his eyes on Li Yinbin, waiting for him to make his final decision.
"Yin Minxing, Xu Yingxian, Li Jiuhua, Chen Tianming." Li Yinbin suddenly spoke.
With Li Yinbin's name, three other captain-level people, including Chen Tianming, stood out from the team together, clasped their fists at Li Yinbin and said, "General."
"You each lead your own troops to scatter and explore the traces of the fleeing thieves. Once there is news, you will immediately return it."
"Yes." The four of them replied in unison.
Soon, four teams began to search in different directions. Chen Tianming was relatively slippery and chose the direction northwest. He knew that there was actually a rugged path in that direction, leading directly to Jinzhou. That path was originally an unknown path taken by the herbicide collectors in the mountains to collect herbs. If Chen Tianming had not been a bandit in this mountain for a long time, he would not have known that there was such a path.
This path itself cannot walk on a large army, so Chen Tianming did not report to Li Yinbin just now, but this would allow him to lead people to investigate the enemy's traces. He also happened to go to this path first to take a look. If he really encounters the enemy, it would be a great achievement.
After dispersing with the large army, not long after, Chen Tianming had found the mountain path that only he knew, but it didn't seem like a large army passing by. Chen Tianming didn't give up and walked west along the path. After walking for a while, he suddenly realized his sight and then stopped. It turned out that he had actually walked out of the mountain area.
Standing on the hillside, looking forward, I saw a gray city wall standing quietly there. On the wall, a huge flag embroidered with the characters of fields fluttered in the wind.
"I have actually arrived in Jinzhou." Standing on the hillside and looking at the city in the distance, Chen Tianming couldn't help but murmur.
