Due to the large number of wounded soldiers, the enemy only traveled more than ten miles a day. [26nbsp;] The wounded soldiers were almost unable to bear the weight of armor, and some wounded soldiers could not walk on their own. The two generals had to order the troops to destroy or discard a large amount of equipment and free up all the vehicles of the transport team to transport the wounded.
Xu Sancai asked a team of people to escort the captured war horses and wounded soldiers back to Qingtieng City, and asked Wang Hu to lead most of the defenders to pursue them. He sent two teams of 100 people to inform the villages and towns in front of the enemy, and strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, so that the enemy could not leave any food. He led the remaining troops to follow the enemy far away and look for opportunities.
The enemy army found nothing in three villages in a row. Two generals in a rage ordered the troops to burn all three villages. However, the troops still had no food. They decided to return as soon as possible, but found that the road had been destroyed and the transportation team's cars could not pass through at all. Due to the drag of the wounded soldiers, the troops could only travel more than ten miles a day.
After three days, the enemy troops had completely lost their physical strength and morale in hunger. The two generals knew that this would inevitably lead to the collapse of the entire army, so they decided to give up the wounded soldiers and let them die on their own. The two generals quickly returned to Xiaoyue City with more than 2,000 healthy troops.
The more than 3,000 abandoned wounded soldiers were completely desperate. At this time, Xu Sancai had already joined forces with Wang Hu. Nearly 3,000 defenders in the city were injured and killed, but more than 3,000 soldiers were still there. Wang Hu left nearly 1,000 troops to take care of the wounded, cleaned up the battlefield, rectified the city, and brought more than 2,000 people and the transportation team to meet.
When a large group of people appeared in front of the wounded soldiers, all the wounded soldiers of the enemy surrendered without any resistance. Xu Sancai asked the transport team and a thousand infantry to escort the prisoners back to the city, while the other troops continued to chase after him.
The enemy's marching speed increased rapidly, but the hungry troops still couldn't last long. Seeing the general abandoning the injured soldiers, the originally low morale was hit hard again. Although the soldiers did not dare to act rashly under the supervision of the two generals, the march was obviously even more delayed.
The two generals asked their personal soldiers to supervise and urged the troops to speed up the marching speed, but in the end the troops were too hungry and their marching speed dropped to more than ten miles the next day. Although the two generals were furious and anxious when they saw this, they had no choice. On the third day, the two generals had to give up some of the soldiers to speed up the marching speed again.
Xu Sancai had already seen that the fighting spirit of the enemy in front had completely collapsed. After capturing the second batch of hundreds of people abandoned by the enemy, he began to harass and attack the enemy with his cavalry. Of course, harassing attacks were purely harassing. The cavalry did not rush into the enemy's troops, but attacked by two hundred cavalry and archers from a long distance.
In five days, the enemy only retreated less than a hundred miles, and there was still a distance to return to Xiaoyue City. The two generals already knew that it was impossible to bring these weak soldiers tortured by hunger. They immediately gave up all the infantry and let them return to Xiaoyue City by themselves. The two generals led only more than 200 cavalry back quickly.
Xu Sancai led his troops to follow the enemy not far away. Seeing this, he immediately ordered the cavalry troops to follow him to chase the two generals, and the infantry left by the enemy was solved by the infantry led by Wang Hu. The abandoned infantry of the enemy had completely lost their fighting intention and only needed to confiscate weapons and escort the prisoners back to the city.
Among the cavalry led by the two generals, one of the 100-man teams was a guard, which was naturally relatively elite. However, there was a lack of food and grass. Under the harassment of Xu Sancai's troops, those people did not dare to let the war horses go to the grass too far to eat. At this time, the troops were trapped in the army, and their combat effectiveness and marching speed were reduced to the minimum.
Xu Sancai decided to launch a general attack at this time. He immediately led more than 400 cavalry to chase after him at full speed, and at the same time sent out a sound arrow to inform the two hundred cavalry in front of him to intercept him. The two hundred cavalry had been around twenty miles ahead of the enemy, and immediately turned around and intercepted him when he heard the signal. The cavalry troops he led were following about one mile away from the enemy. At this time, they chased at full speed and quickly chased him.
The two enemy generals had no choice at this time, so they could only rush forward and escape with all their might. After all, they were level 9 war divisions, and ordinary soldiers could not block their attacks. The two of them opened a bloody path and led more than a dozen personal guards to break through the interception of two hundred cavalrymen.
However, the interception of the cavalry also delayed the speed of the two generals. Xu Sancai led his troops to catch up. He pressed his left hand on the back of the horse, and had already jumped out of the horse's head with his feet, rushed forward from the enemy's guards behind, and rushed towards the general in front from the enemy's guards behind. At the same time, the sword in his hand stabbed, and while he passed by, he had killed the six guards on both sides.
Xu Sancai is now a level 9 warrior, and his body speed is still above the speed of the war horse running with all his strength. He rushed behind an enemy general and stabbed his sword straight at the back. The general was rushing forward with all his strength, and did not notice the danger behind him at all, but another general on the left discovered him, and turned around and stabbed him straight at him.
The sword in Xu Sancai's hand continued to attack. He pierced the general's heavy armor with one sword, stabbed the general's spine, and at the same time he flashed to the right, plundering from the general's right side. The general's figure blocked the attack route of the general on the left. He flew past the general's right side in a blink of an eye, and took out his sword to stab the other general's thigh.
The general whose spine was cut off let out a scream. Although he did not die immediately, he could no longer control his lower limbs and fell from the war horse. The weapon also dropped out of his hand due to pain and was trampled by the war horse behind him. Another general waved his three forks in his hand and swept across Xu Sancai. The three forks were more than two meters long, made of mixed iron, weighing hundreds of pounds.
The three-strand fork, also known as the bullhead fork, is more powerful than the long spear and has more fork-thorn moves than the mace. It is suitable for charge and is most likely to exert its power during the siege. However, Xu Sancai did not fight hard with the general, and he unfolded his body to the front of the general's war horse. In the war horse, he can use the impact of the war horse to suppress his opponent from a high position, but in the war horse, he cannot move flexibly, and the horse's head also hinders the people on the horse.
The general was worried that Xu Sancai would take action to hurt the horse. If the war horse was gone, the general would be like losing his legs. Not only would it be difficult to escape from the encirclement of many cavalry, but the general was a general who would lose his ability to lose his war horse would also be affected. The general immediately stopped the war horse and swept his three forks to sweep thousands of troops across the waist. However, he just used his body skills in front of the horse, and his sword kept harassing the war horse.
