*****

Liang Yingcai gathered up the rout, although he only lost more than a hundred horses, but Su Jin's cavalry that came and went like the wind gave them too much deterrence, and he no longer dared to rush forward.

waited for Zhang Qi to arrive with an army of 6,000, but saw that Liang Yingcai was hiding on the hillside with a group of defeated remnants of the defeated army, and he did not dare to advance or retreat.

Jingguan, it is Jingguan again, a Jingguan on the side of the road is shocking, more than 100 heads are piled together, the blood has not dried yet, the appearance is extremely terrifying, within one day, it has been seen twice Jingguan, the scalp of the six thousand rebels is numb, one by one, whispering, Qin Mu's people and horses quickly became a pronoun of the devil in their mouths.

It seems that this kind of thing only existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and since the Han and Tang Dynasties, it has rarely been heard of the Jingguan, and now the Jingguan has reappeared, and the head that was used to build the Jingguan is his accomplice, and he was still talking and laughing with his accomplice yesterday.

Seeing a hundred corpses and a hundred heads erected in Jingguan, those are two completely different feelings, in this chaotic world where human life is as cheap as a mustard, and the corpses that are unburied on the side of the road are often visible, and everyone's nerves are already troubled.

But the visual shock of a hundred heads being cut off and put together was a hundred times stronger, and probably more than half of the 6,000 rebels would have nightmares from tonight onwards, dreaming of a large number of heads flying around them.

Zhang Qi saw that his morale was getting lower and lower, and he was both hated and helpless in his heart, he knew very well that if he couldn't achieve a victory as soon as possible, his army would be afraid that as soon as he encountered Qin Mu's demon army, he would be frightened and flee.

He quickly ordered to bury the head of Zhucheng Jingguan along with the corpse, and strictly ordered the soldiers not to talk about Jingguan anymore, and then ordered Liang Yingcai to atone for his crimes, and led a hundred cavalry to explore the road in front, and nearly 7,000 men and horses continued to drive towards Wanzai.

As a result, after walking seven or eight miles, Su Jin's more than 100 cavalry appeared in front like ghosts. Liang Yingcai also had a hundred cavalry exploring the way, but he was frightened by Su Jin's whistle and turned around and ran;

Su Jin saw that it was Liang Yingcai who was like a frightened bird, of course he would not be polite, and immediately chased after him until Zhang Qi was more than half a mile in front of the army, and then stopped, arrogantly insulting and provoking nearly 7,000 rebels.

"Zhang Qi, listen to your grandfather, I advise you to quickly retract back into the turtle shell."

"Haha, Zhang Zai. Don't look at the fact that you have 7,000 men and horses, in Lao Tzu's opinion, it is a pig with a flock of sheep, which provokes you Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu slaughters you for wine. ”

"That's it, these bitches often eat human flesh, so that they can also appreciate the taste of being eaten."

"Zhang Qi, you have the ability to bite your grandfather's bird."

The clay figurines also have three points. Seven thousand horses were ridden on the head by more than 100 people, and it felt really uncomfortable. If left unchecked, it will be a fatal blow to morale.

Zhang Qi immediately ordered the army to press on all fronts, and Su Jin rode his horse and trotted half a mile easily. Then he stopped and provoked, and repeated this several times, Zhang Qi's infantry couldn't catch up, and he couldn't shake it off. It made the heartstrings of the 7,000 rebels tense, and their morale was even lowered.

This is not a way, Zhang Qi had to send all the only more than 200 cavalry. is ready to fight hard with Su Jin, even if it can be a draw, it will not be so passive, and it will also play a big role in improving morale.

As soon as Su Jin saw the rebels more than 200 cavalry rushing out together, he immediately turned around and ran, the two sides were more than a mile apart, after chasing five or six miles, Su Jin made a quick turn, turned around, and the two hundred rebels were strictly ordered by Zhang Qi to fight with Su Jin, but there were sudden bursts of gongs and drums on the slopes on both sides.

"It's not good, there is an ambush" More than 200 rebels were so frightened that they didn't think much about it, they turned around and fled;

Su Jin and they screamed again and again to chase and kill, and chased Zhang Qi in front of the army again, this time more than 200 rebels were not as lucky as Liang Yingcai just now, they were hacked to death by Su Jin and them fifty or sixty people, and those who could escape back were all lost their souls, and some even lost their weapons.

Su Jin's men and horses were still parked most of the miles away, this time they didn't care about provocation, but were busy cutting off the heads of the dead and wounded rebels, just under the noses of Zhang Qi's seven thousand rebels, Su Jin and the others unscrupulously chopped off the heads of the rebels and gathered the ownerless war horses, which was more effective than any verbal provocation.

Zhang Qi saw that there was smoke in all his eyes, but the seven thousand rebels were all full of sad expressions, and a pessimistic mood kept spreading among the rebels;

Although they are numerous, they are all infantry, and they can't catch up, and they have to be careful that the other party suddenly turns around and rushes into battle; A hundred cavalry does not sound like much, but they all rushed together, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the momentum was extremely amazing, and it should not be underestimated.

Zhang Qi ordered the army to press, Su Jin and others retreated again, the rebels walked and they left, and the rebels stopped and they stopped, anyway, they wandered a mile or two away, so that the seven thousand rebels were like a man's back, extremely uncomfortable, but helpless.

Zhang Qi's heart sank uncontrollably, constantly harassed by this ghostly cavalry, and the marching speed was extremely slow, at the current speed, I am afraid that it would not be possible to reach ten thousand years in three days.

Although there are also 2,000 men and horses stationed in Wanzai City, the only road leading to Wanzai in front of them has been cut off, and the messengers can't pass through, and the news is not clear, but I am afraid that Wanzai will not know that there are officials and troops attacking;

It is conceivable that now the main force led by Qin Mu must be advancing at full speed towards Wanzai, in case the Wanzai defenders are caught off guard and are captured by Qin Mu in one fell swoop, then Qin Mu will be able to oppose the guest, advance and retreat as he pleases, and his own 7,000 men and horses will be blocked under the fortified city, in a dilemma.

There is another point that Zhang Qi has to face, Lu Daqi's 80,000 troops came from Nanchang, and at the current speed, it will arrive in Yuanzhou in five days at most, which will be one or two days earlier than Zhang Xianzhong.

Although he had ordered all the 10,000 horses scattered in the surrounding counties to return to Yuanzhou, how could he rest assured that 10,000 against 80,000?

Once Yuanzhou is gained and lost, when Zhang Xianzhong arrives with a large army, he will definitely be punished, so he must fight quickly, destroy Qin Mu as soon as possible, and then return to Yuanzhou before Lu Daqi arrives to ensure that Yuanzhou is foolproof.

But Su Jin, a ghostly cavalry, made his idea of a quick battle unrealistic, whether he wanted to give up ten thousand years, this idea passed through Zhang Qi's mind, and was immediately abandoned by him.

Not to mention that once in a lifetime, Yuan Zhou will be attacked on both sides, just saying that if he turns around now, it will be a problem whether the 7,000 men and horses are willing to return to Ganzhou with him.

In the case of setbacks and low morale, the seven thousand men and horses have just been pulled up for less than a month, and there is not too much cohesion, and now they are all relying on one breath to maintain, if they turn around halfway, this is similar to escaping, and there will definitely be a large number of deserters at that time, even if they return to Yuanzhou, there will be no combat effectiveness at all.

Therefore, we must not give up until we have no time.

Zhang Qi divided the 7,000 men and horses into two armies, the front army was commanded by the general Mo Qingniu, the two armies echoed back and forth, and at the same time let the remaining cavalry be responsible for reconnoitering the two wings and keeping an eye on Su Jin's movements, and the army continued to move forward, so that the speed was much faster.

When they came to the place where the original 200 cavalry were "ambushed", a small Jingguan appeared on the side of the road, with sixty or seventy bloody human heads piled together, and the hideous appearance seemed to be mocking the rebels who were walking on thin ice.

And half a mile away from Jingguan, Su Jin's more than 100 cavalry happened to be stationed on the road in a hurry, and they had already lined up the formation of the charge, and Mo Qingniu immediately shouted: "Prepare for war, prepare for war"

The pikemen in front immediately contracted the formation, and the spearhead pointed obliquely ahead, forming a dense forest of spears in the front of the military formation, but they did not stop, but pressed forward step by step, only waiting for Su Jin's cavalry to start charging, and then the long spear tail would be on the ground.

More than 2,000 people marched up the wall, making a dull sound of pace, and there were scouts galloping on both sides, but just like that, there was still a sudden violent sound of gongs and drums on the hillside;

"Not good, there is an ambush." The rebels screamed one after another, and at the same time, Su Jin's cavalry also began to start, accelerated, and rushed towards the rebels, making the rebels lose sight of one or the other.

"Release the arrows, release the arrows" Mo Qingniu roared in the chaos, but before Su Jin and the others could rush into the firing range, a rain of arrows rose in the rebel array, and Su Jin's men and horses stopped outside the firing range, daxiao recklessly.

Mo Qingniu only found out at this time that the slopes on both sides were only thundering, not raining, and there were no ambushes rushing down at all, no wonder the scouts on both wings failed to discover the enemy situation in advance, it seems that Su Jin just sent a few people to hide on the mountain and beat the gongs and drums indiscriminately.

Mo Qingniu was secretly lucky, fortunately he commanded the army well, although the two thousand subordinates were panicked, they did not become a mess, otherwise they would definitely be like Liang Yingcai, and they would have been killed and collapsed.

Fortunately, the feeling of being played made him angry, "Forward, forward, press up, and destroy this group of bitches." Mo Qingniu kept drinking, and ordered two thousand men and horses to continue to press forward step by step.

"Woohoo" Su Jin's men and horses let out a strange scream, and then galloped away, this time they did not stay a mile or two away to watch, but completely disappeared.

But this made Mo Qingniu more cautious, this ghostly cavalry wandered two or three miles away, as far as the eye could see, I could see their every move, and now it suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings were quiet all of a sudden, which made people even more uneasy, for fear that they would suddenly emerge from some unexpected place and give their own side a surprise attack.

Mo Qingniu hurriedly sent a scout horse to track, but the scout horse often never returned, and later, the rebels who were forcibly led to reconnoiter did not bother them, so they quietly became deserters, and it was better to be a deserter than a corpse, isn't it?

Su Jin's men and horses were gone, and the scouts sent by him did not come back, and the rebel army of 7,000 was like a blind man, walking again and again with anxiety, which can be said to be frightening step by step (to be continued......
