Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/Chapter 52: See you on the battlefield without seeing the world (1)

"Sir, the other party has already divided his troops and retreated."

In the main hall of the prefect's mansion, Wang Mu sat upright in front of him, looking at the two kneeling in front of him, reporting to him.

One person has a gray beard, a huge nose, and an official in front of the team. The other person is Zhengliang Qiuci, who looks weak.

They were the direct subordinates brought by Wang Mu from Chang'an. After killing Zhang Fang, the new army in Wancheng was the commander of him.

And the Iron Blood Camp - naturally, only Wang Mu can command it.

"There are less than two thousand soldiers left in the city and will be defeated soon. The other party's withdrawn troops are only about two thousand, and are retreating to the southwest. The subordinates estimate that they should want to go to Xinshi and join the Green Forest Army." Zhen Fu continued to report. Although he spoke respectfully, his natural voice was surprisingly loud and trembled throughout the main hall.

"Very good." Wang Mu nodded with a smile on his face: "Now, it's time for us to set off. Take all the cavalry and set off."

"Yes. The cavalry in the city has not participated in the battle before, and there are still 1,500 cavalry. In addition, the 500 cavalry we brought from Chang'an... the number of people is equal, and we are chasing each other at the right end. We are already a sure victory." Liang Qiuci nodded and said.

"Tail-tail chase? Who said I'd like to have a high-tail chase?" Wang Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled unpredictably: "There are wars late at night, and the other party fled in scattered areas. What should I do if I lose the head I want?"

"Yes. Please tell me how to arrange it."

"Here is a river called Huang Chunshui here." Wang Mu spread out a map on the table and gently tapped the table: "There is a wooden bridge on the river, which is the only way to cross the river. When they cross the river..."

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Zhen Fu, Liang Qiuci and the others nodded together.

...

Liu Yan led the remaining more than 2,000 remaining soldiers to the southwest.

After seeing the miracle just now, the more than a hundred cavalrymen in the queue had already worshipped Liu Yun. But the other soldiers except them had their morale down to the extreme.

Even the knights and swordsmen who had followed Liu Yun for many years were no longer as arrogant as they used to be. They just lowered their heads silently and quickly followed the queue.

Wancheng has gradually disappeared behind him, and the shouts of killing have disappeared little by little. I don’t know if it is because of the distance or the number of Chongling troops behind him has become less and less.

"Master, the pursuers are here!"

Ren Guang rode his horse to Liu Lu, frowned, and reported in a low voice. He was seriously injured and stayed at the end of the queue, but the galloping just now made the wound on his body crack a little, and some blood oozed out.

Liu Yun turned around and saw that there were indeed lights of torches in the distance behind him. Although he could not hear the sound of horse hooves, it is conceivable that the pursuers sent by Wang Mu must be cavalry. With the current distance, I am afraid that they will arrive in an instant.

Since the pursuers have appeared, it means...

The troops behind the palace have been completely wiped out, and my uncle... is dead.

"A Xiu, pass on the order, the whole army will step up and cross the Huang Chunshui."

Liu Yun said to Liu Xiu beside him with a blue face.

In front of me is the Huang Chunshui. There is a bridge on the river. Although it is not spacious, as long as you slowly adjust the formation and demolish it after crossing the bridge, this remaining army of more than 2,000 people will be considered safe.

Even if Wang Mu sent pursuers, it would not be possible to build a floating bridge in an instant. And with this period of time, it was enough to get them to the new city.

The most important thing now is time. You must let the entire army cross the river before the pursuit arrives.

When they saw the bridge, all the soldiers understood the current situation. Everyone shouted and rushed towards the bridge in unison.

For a moment, the already sparse formation instantly became even more scattered.

Liu Yan gave a few instructions to Liu Xiu behind him, and then he patted his horse and rushed towards the bridgehead first.

Along the way, he passed countless soldiers who left the formation and ran forward. It was not until the war horses passed the last person that the long sword in Liu Yan's hand suddenly swung out.

A head flew high and was grabbed by Liu Yan.

Then, Liu Yan rushed to the bridge but did not cross the bridge immediately. Instead, he turned over and dismounted at the edge of the bridge, and then inserted the long sword in his hand heavily on the ground, making a clear long roar.

"The whole army has a whole team crossing the river! Those who take the lead will be killed, those who fall behind will be killed, and those who make noise will be killed!"

The head that had just been cut off was hanging on the hilt of the long sword, with eyes wide open and a horrified expression, as if he still didn't know what was going on.

"Liu Ji! Behind the cavalry hall, everyone else lined up onto the bridge, and no noise was allowed!"

Liu Yan's expression was as ferocious as an evil ghost from hell. His aura seemed to have swallowed up the heaven and earth.

Liu Ji shouted loudly, and turned his horse's head with more than a hundred remaining cavalrymen. Although he did not immediately gallop in the opposite direction, he had already formed a firm defensive formation.

The only thing Liu Yan could rely on at this moment was the more than 100 cavalry who witnessed the hail miracle in Wancheng.

Faced with Liu Yan's majesty and the fact that he believed that he had been covered by his back, the morale of the soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit and were about to collapse finally gradually calmed down.

Under the compilation of Liu Xiu and a group of Liu clans, the troops were lined up in a queue and headed up the bridge neatly. Each soldier had to pass by Liu Yan's side, pass by the head hanging on the hilt of the knife, and accept his gaze.

And no matter who is, when passing by Liu Yan, he will not help but lower his head and tremble before that powerful sense of oppression.

Even if he was defeated and even when he was retreating, Liu Yan was still the unchanging dragon among people, and still had irresistible majesty.

The sound of horse hooves finally sounded behind him. Although the night was dark, the torches held by the cavalry still clearly marked their position as they were getting closer.

Liu Yan's face was still as calm as a mountain, but a hint of worry still appeared in his heart.

Too slow. Although the formation was prepared and the bridge was crossed as fast as possible, only one-quarter of the soldiers had arrived across the river so far.

According to this speed, before the opponent's pursuers arrived, there would probably be no more than half of the soldiers who could cross the river.

The cavalry on the opposite side sounded at least two thousand people from the sound of horse hooves.

The defeated soldiers during the half-crossing process were chased by a large number of cavalrymen behind them... The next one, without asking, would be a bloody massacre.

"A Xiu! Come here!"

Liu Yan shouted loudly at Liu Xiu, who was tidying up the wooden bridge, who was walking onto the wooden bridge. At this moment, he no longer cared about the morale of the soldiers. As long as his younger brother could cross the bridge, that was the most important thing.

"Brother?" Liu Xiu ran to Liu Yan in confusion and asked with a frown.

"You cross the river first, I will break the back. Remember, once you cross the river, you will immediately burn the bridge, don't worry about my place. Then... head towards Xinshi at full speed to find the Green Forest Army. Even if you are hiding them, you must survive. Do you understand!"

Liu Yan grabbed Liu Xiu, pressed him into his arms, and leaned into Liu Xiu's ear and whispered.

"What? Brother! How could I leave you behind!"

Liu Xiu was about to speak, but Liu Yan covered her mouth and glared fiercely: "Stop it! I don't have time for you now! Do you think the remaining 1,000 people can really cross the river!"

Liu Xiu turned his head and listened carefully to the sound of horse hooves behind him, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"If you know, hurry up and cross the river! Don't get in the way! Remember, I won't die!" After Liu Yan finished speaking, he turned over and rushed towards the formation of more than a hundred cavalrymen.

Although there are only more than one hundred people, but...

It will take as long as it can be...

The war horse under Liu Yan's crotch had just stepped away from the horse's hooves, but suddenly stopped. He lowered his head and saw Liu Xiu pulling the reins tightly, and shook his head at him.
