Early the next morning.

Zhao Feng led the army and continued to retreat.

An hour later.

A sentry rode a horse and ran in front of Zhao Feng, and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”

"The Montenegrin army has about 50,000 troops, and it continues to pursue in the rear."

After Zhao Feng heard this, Lerma stopped.

According to yesterday's speculation, under normal circumstances, the Montenegrin army would not continue to pursue.

However, Zhao Feng, Lu Su, Guo Jia and others also considered the situation yesterday that the Montenegrin Army would continue to pursue.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Feng turned his head to look at the herald: "Quickly go to Nanpi and inform Lu Ji that he will lead eight thousand female soldiers to ambush at the mouth of the valley." ”

The herald arched his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

After saying that, he turned the horse's head and rode away directly.

The reason why Zhao Feng wanted to transfer female soldiers was because there were more than 40,000 people on Zhao Feng's side based on the comparison of troops alone.

And the pursuing army of the Montenegrin Army still has about 50,000.

But since the Montenegrin Army dared to continue the pursuit, it was obvious that the pursuing troops of the Montenegrin Army should be around 57,000 people.

The remaining 3,000 people are the ones who died on the battlefield yesterday.

Yesterday's battle was not long, and more than 1,500 people were killed on Zhao Feng's side.

The reason why the Montenegrin Army will die twice as many is because when Zhao Feng sent the Chinese army to search and rescue the wounded, some of the Montenegrin Army that could still be rescued were given knives by the Chinese soldiers.

However, the mending of the knife is relatively secretive, and not all the wounded of the Montenegrin Army are mended, so the Montenegrin Army does not suspect anything about this.

Although Zhao Feng has always strongly opposed this kind of mending behavior.

But for ordinary soldiers, mending the knife is picking up military merits, and under the temptation of military merits, it is difficult to completely restrain them.

Therefore, this behavior of mending the knife has also become an unspoken rule in the army.

Zhao Feng transferred female soldiers, so that the gap between the two armies would not be too big.

Second, after yesterday's pursuit, the Black Mountain Army was not too far away from Zhao Feng's army.

If it is too far away, the Montenegrin army will not continue to pursue if it knows that it will not be able to catch up.

Therefore, Zhao Feng had no way to directly ambush under the nose of the Black Mountain Army.

This can only allow female soldiers to go out of the city to ambush in advance.

The army marched on.

It's almost noon.

A sentry rode a horse and ran in front of Zhao Feng, and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi." ”

"The Black Mountain Army is chasing, and we are still a mile away."

"If nothing else, in less than a quarter of an hour, we will be able to catch up with our army!"

Zhao Feng nodded: "Keep exploring!" ”

The sentry arched his hand: "Wow! ”

After saying that, he turned the horse's head and rode away directly.

One mile, that is, three hundred steps, is about four hundred and fifty meters.

If it was a plain, at this distance, Zhao Feng could directly see the pursuers.

It can be seen how close the Montenegrin Army is to Zhao Feng's army now.

The Sentinel had just left.

The herald rode back and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord!" ”

"General Lu is in front, he is ready, and he can only give orders from the lord."

Zhao Feng said with a smile: "Calculating the time, Lu Ji should indeed be ready." ”

"Pass the order, speed up!"

The herald arched his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

Then shouted loudly: "Speed up the march!" ”

It didn't take long.

Zhao Feng led the army through a small valley mouth.

The herald who came back to give the order before whispered beside Zhao Feng: "Lord Qi, General Lu is ambushed here." ”

Zhao Feng looked at his surroundings.

It's not the best place to ambush.

As long as you send a little people to explore the way, it is easy to spot the ambush soldiers on the edge of the valley.

Fortunately, these female soldiers are all archers.

So they can hide a little deeper, and they don't need to rush down anyway and fight the Montenegrin army.

Of course, because it was a small valley, Zhao Feng was also unable to set up a formation.

After the army left the valley.

Zhao Feng directly ordered Xiong Da: "Let the left and right flank armies continue to retreat with the wounded soldiers." ”

"Let the Chinese army and the pro-guard army stay behind to block."

Xiong Da bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

After saying that, he rode his horse and left directly.

Wait for the bear to leave.

Zhao Feng looked at Lu Su and Guo Jia: "Zijing, Fengxiao, you lead the troops and respond here." ”

Lu Su waved at Zhao Feng: "Lord, the matter of blocking the Black Mountain Army should be left to me and Guo Duwei." ”

"The lord stays here to respond!"

Zhao Feng knew that Lu Su didn't want to put himself in danger.

After all, it is blocked in the valley, and there are too many debris such as flowers and trees, which is easy to block the view.

If you're not careful, you'll be hit by a stray arrow.

Guo Jia waved at Zhao Feng: "Lord, Jia has recovered." ”

"If you use your natural ability in the valley and let the Black Mountain Army engage in a small area of chaos, plus the chaos caused by the indiscriminate shooting of the female archers, Jia is sure to defeat this part of the pursuers!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he groaned.

Generally, after the second awakening, it will be directly weakened for a day.

That is, twelve hours of weakness.

And Guo Jia is twelve hours away, two hours away.

So Zhao Feng didn't know whether Guo Jia had fully recovered or not.

As for using natural ability to check, Zhao Feng knew in his heart that it was useless.

Because earlier, Zhao Feng had already experimented.

Depending on the person, the recovery situation will be slightly different.

Some people, as long as eight hours, can return to their normal state, but they are not able to use their natural abilities for less than twelve hours.

For others, it takes twelve hours for their state and natural abilities to recover at the same time.

Therefore, Zhao Feng didn't use his natural ability to check.

However, considering what Guo Jia said, Zhao Feng pondered: "It's okay." ”

"Then let Zijing and Fengxiao take your headquarters and the Chinese army to intercept it."

"As for me, I will lead the pro-guard army and respond to you here!"

Lu Su and Guo Jia bowed their hands to Zhao Feng: "Oh! ”

After speaking, he rode his horse and left Zhao Feng's side.

It didn't take long.

Guo Jia and Lu Su took their own subordinates, and in the middle of Zhao Feng, they lined up a phalanx outside the valley.

Of course, this is just a formation outside the valley.

As for the valley, because of the terrain, it is impossible to set up a formation.

In other words, although the army set up a formation, it still could not fully rush into the valley.

This is also the reason why Zhao Feng wants to stay outside the valley to respond.

That is, in case the blockade in the valley fails, Zhao Feng needs to stay and break the back.

In terms of tasks, whether it is to enter the valley to block the Montenegrin army, or to stay and break the rear, there is a certain risk.

It's just that relatively speaking, if the Black Mountain Army is ambushed in the valley and wins, Zhao Feng naturally doesn't need to break off.

Therefore, the risk is relatively smaller.

But the problem is that if the Montenegrin army relies on a large number of people, it has to attack.

With Lu Ji, Guo Jia, Lu Su and the 25,000 people of the Chinese army alone, it may not be able to stop it!

So Zhao Feng is still at risk.

It's just that the field of vision outside the valley is broader, and as long as it is properly protected, Zhao Feng will not be shot at least by the loss.
