The pursuit lasted two hours, and both the fleeing and the pursuing were hungry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The two sides started from the big battle under the rain mountain, and now the grain of rice has not entered, and the fierce battle and chase have consumed a lot of physical strength, and they are almost unable to run. The chase eventually turned into a battle of willpower.

The first to collapse was the Exile Army. Many of them can't even eat enough on weekdays, and such ultra-high-intensity exercise has exceeded the limits of their physical fitness, and many of them have starry eyes, dry mouths, and unsteady walking, let alone running. They simply didn't run away, sat on the ground, and made up their minds to surrender as soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, and it was not the first time they had done so anyway.

When the Qiong navy caught up, they were surprised to find that the road was full of people, and when they saw them coming, these people threw down their weapons and shouted: "Surrender, surrender, please don't chase anymore." ”

Wei Lianheng ordered the 3rd and 4th Battalions to continue the pursuit, and the 1st and 2nd Battalions seized the weapons of these men, and then drove them together to gather together, waiting for Xia Nan to arrive and give instructions on how to deal with these prisoners who surrendered voluntarily.

After Xia Nan caught up, he said without hesitation: "Of course it's tied up and taken away!" One of the purposes of our fight is to collect the homeless. These people are just cannon fodder to take up arms, and the peasants who have no land to plant and no food to eat when they put down their weapons are all packed up and taken away and sent back to Lingao Tuntian for military training. ”

Wei Lianheng agreed, and ordered each infantry battalion to transfer a company to receive these homeless people along the way, disarm them and escort them to the rear, waiting for the triumph of the army to be transported away on the ship. He explained: "Remember not to rush to give them food, just give them water to drink, don't let them have the strength to make trouble, and wait for the main force to return." ”

Summer Nan rode slowly through the squatting and sitting homeless people on the ground, searching for the traces of the two leaders of the coalition army. Although he didn't know what Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong looked like, the superior couldn't hide himself in the middle of a group of people called Huazi, and he could recognize them with a little screening. But all the way through the crowd, nothing was found. It seems that the two giants have run away.

At this time, several soldiers brought a man dressed as a homeless man and reported: "General, this person claims to be sent to the Liukou army, and says he wants to see you. ”

In the summer, Nan was overjoyed, and ordered someone to call Wang Qinian over, and then asked this person: "Are you from the Military Intelligence Department?" Who sent you? ”

The man replied: "General Qiyu, the youngest is from Fujian, and he was sent by Lord Wang Qinian to infiltrate the Liukou array to find out the news. ”

At this time, Wang Qinian came over. He was mixed with the staff officers of the military aircraft staff office, and when he was fighting, he could only play soy sauce as a spectator, and now it was his turn to appear. After he saw this person, he said to Xia Nan: "General, this person is indeed a spy I sent out, named Wen Aping. ”

After confirming his identity, Xia Nan hurriedly asked, "What about Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong?" ”

Wen Aping replied: "The general forgives the sin, the time for his subordinates to blend in with the homeless people is too short, and their status is low, so they can't get close to the two rogue leaders, so they can only watch from a distance." On the way to escape just now, I saw Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong get together and muttered a few words, the two of them each took some people and parted ways, Gao Yingxiang took hundreds of people to the north into the mountains, but Zhang Xianzhong continued to go east. ”

"Two soldiers?" There was some surprise in the summer. originally thought that the two would huddle together to keep warm, but they didn't expect that they also knew how to break the wrist of a strong man. Now faced with a choice, is it to chase the king or the eight kings? If you chase both, it's likely that you'll miss both.

At this time, Wen Aping's words tilted his balance in favor of Gao Yingxiang.

"General, there is also a Fujian fellow named Yu Bao who has followed me into the Liukou army. His ancestors used to be Tulang in the village, and he learned a little fur, and he could cure a small problem of headache and brain fever, and I heard that he was very popular in the thief army for a few days......"

Nan's eyes lit up in the summer: Tulangzhong, will heal? Thinking of Gao Yingxiang taking people to drill the mountain, mosquito bites, snakes and rats are inevitably infested, maybe there is still miasma, and there is a half bucket of water Tulangzhong will definitely take it with him. He asked, "Have you ever agreed on any code or sign to make contact?" ”

Wang Qishi replied: "I have told all the spies that whenever they blend into the enemy's formation and it is inconvenient to pass on news to their own families, they will carve a triangular mark along the way, and the pointed end is used to point out the direction. ”

Nan was overjoyed in the summer, and slapped Wang Qinian's shoulder heavily: "Old Wang, if you can kill or capture Gao Yingxiang alive this time, I will give you the first credit!" ”

Wang Qinian's shoulder hurt, and he couldn't help but squeeze out a smile: "Thank you, General!" It's all a matter of subordination. ”

Xia Nan ordered: "Give up Zhang Xianzhong and pursue Gao Yingxiang with all your might." ”

Zhang Xianzhong took the official road, although it was easier to follow him, but the remaining displaced people were still tens of thousands, with the existing strength of the second regiment of the Qiong Navy, even if it caught up, it was difficult to control it all, Zhang Xianzhong was easy to hide among the displaced people and slip away; And Gao Yingxiang chose the deep mountains and old forests that are difficult to walk, and there are only a few hundred people around him, as long as there is Neiying pointing out the direction along the way, the chance of catching up with him and killing or capturing him is much greater. A rogue leader like this is not only a gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty in the original historical time and space, but also an obstacle on his way forward in the future.

Huang Mengjia took the initiative to ask: "The subordinates are willing to open the way for the vanguard and the general." Many of his subordinates are local soldiers of Li Tong, and it is common to cross mountains and mountains, and the thieves in this regard are definitely not as good as the warriors who cut off their feet. ”

In the summer, Nan patted his head, there was still a ready-made mountain infantry unit here, and he almost forgot about it. You must know that Huang Mengjia was the "little Fengxian" of Litong in ten miles and eight towns of Weizhen, not to mention attacking other villages, even if he went out to hunt, he had to go over the mountains and mountains, and the roof of Qiongzhou Mansion - Wuzhi Mountain was just waiting in his eyes, and this old mountain only ten miles away from the coastline was really nothing.

He immediately made a decision: "Very good, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, you will be the vanguard, and the burden of pursuing Gao Yingxiang will be handed over to you, and I will bring someone to follow." ”

Huang Mengjia rubbed his hands and grinned: "Please rest assured, the general, his subordinates will definitely capture the thief alive and come to see you." ”

Sima De dissuaded: "There is a lot of miasma in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are snakes, insects, rats and ants. His subordinates suggested that Huang Mengjia lead the people to pursue, and the general camped outside the mountain and waited. ”

Xia Nan wanted to refuse, but he was not so squeamish. But thinking about it from Sima De's standpoint, it is not unreasonable, he is the leader of the Qiong Navy, and he has no heirs for the time being, and there is no qualified successor - Lin Weiye, a science and engineering otaku, is obviously not the ideal monarch candidate in the eyes of Sima De and others--If he runs into the deep mountains, there are three longs and two shorts, and the collapse of the Qiong Navy will be in the blink of an eye. In order to appease his subordinates, there are some things that are really not suitable for doing it yourself.

He sighed: "Mr. Sima is reasonable. Just do as you say. ”
