A distance of one hundred and three miles, for the infantry, no matter how fast it is, it will take four or five days to arrive.

Chen Ruizheng was ordered by Cui Feng to lead a thousand men and horses to run quickly to the city of Kunming, although the Tusi troops along the way were withdrawn, he was not hindered in any way, but when he arrived in Kunming, he was still a step late;

Two days after the city of Kunming and the surrounding prefectures and counties were plundered by nearly 10,000 troops from Shadingzhou, what remained was a bleak scene after the catastrophe, and many of the homes of the gentry and wealthy families were looted, all the doors were slaughtered, and the families were burned to the ground.

This was originally a time for thousands of families to celebrate the Spring Festival, but the city of Kunming was full of bloodstains, paper money was flying all over the sky, and the cries were filmy, even ordinary people seemed a little numb to the arrival of the Qin army.

Yu Zhen, a hundred households stationed in Kunming who did not accept the night, hurriedly greeted him and said to Chen Ruizheng: "After two days of the great plundering of Shadingzhou, I fled back to Amizhou with a large amount of property, and I have been walking for two days. ”

"You quickly report this news to General Zhengnan, and this general will lead troops to chase Sha Dingzhou, by the way, is there any news from General Ma?"

"General Bingchen, General Ma's whereabouts are very erratic and fast, it is difficult to know where he is at the moment, but it should not be wrong for him to target Amisizhou."

Ma Liu's unconventional fist punches made Sha Dingzhou abandon a large area around Kunming, which is difficult to imagine in advance, but this move has advantages and disadvantages for the Qin army.

On the one hand, the Qin army was able to smoothly gain the dominance of the Kunming area, and on the disadvantage, after Shadingzhou retreated to Amizhou, the forces were concentrated and the territory was fully occupied. The Qin army did not have every chance to break through, and it would only be more difficult to attack in the future.

In Chen Ruizheng's view, at present, the only way to catch up with him is to catch up with Sha Dingzhou before he retreats to Amizhou, and there may be a possibility of a quick victory.

It's just that his troops are really thin, and he can't contact Ma Liuliang's three thousand men and horses at the moment, and things are really tricky.

In the end, Chen Ruizheng gritted his teeth and left 200 men and horses to temporarily manage Kunming City, and he led 800 men and horses to the south to chase Sha Dingzhou.

Now don't say that Chen Ruizheng doesn't know where Ma Liuliang is, and Sha Dingzhou, who fled south, doesn't know Lu Dao.

It's unbelievable, even Ma Liuliang. I don't know where I am.

At first, in a place called Baishekou, I encountered two hundred Tusi troops to block it, although the other party only had two hundred people, but the place of Baishekou was surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the road in the middle was only a few zhang wide.

Ma Liu's two troops attacked for half an hour, and it was difficult to break through quickly, in order to kill Amizhou before Shadingzhou. He chose to take a detour to the mountains.

Soon after the 3,000 men and horses entered the mountains, they encountered foggy weather, and they could not see the sun when they raised their heads, and the mountains and forests were white. Walk and get lost.

After walking for a day, I still couldn't touch the north, but the mountains and forests became denser and denser, and the forests were covered with clouds and mist all day long. Even if it doesn't rain, the leaves are wet and won't last long. The clothes on your body will get wet.

Tall trees are towering into the sky, and dwarf shrubs and vines are everywhere. From time to time, there was the cry of apes and tigers, the wild beasts in the forest were frightened away, the strange birds cried, there was not a ray of sunlight in the sky, and the air was filled with the smell of rotten grass leaves.

After working hard for most of the day, I still couldn't get out of the vast jungle, everyone was cold and tired, a few people were careless, and fell into the swamp covered by fallen leaves, and suddenly there was no roof, and it was too late to rescue, and dozens of people were injured or fell into the rock.

The morale was originally high, but also gradually became low, in order to catch up with the speed, the army was lightly armed, and the grain and grass brought with it were only enough to eat for three days, if they could not get out of this reckless jungle within three days, everyone would have to starve to death inside.

Adjutant General He Jinan came to ask Ma Liuliang: "General Ma, what can I do about this?" ”

Ma Liuliang was a little angry, and responded with a buzz: "You ask me, who will I ask?" Sour Xiucai, you don't know astronomy and geography, you say, what should I do? ”

Tang Yue replied angrily: "I told you not to take risks, you didn't listen, now it's okay, even if I know astronomy and geography, you see, I can't see the land, what can I do?" ”

At this time, Hou San came up and said, "Ma Tou'er, the little one remembered, we walked through a stream just now." ”

"What's wrong with walking across the creek?"

"Ma Tou'er, the little one suddenly remembered that the old man said that if you get lost in the mountains, the stupidest way is to walk along the stream, and if the stream goes low, you will definitely not go back to a place, as long as you follow the stream, you can find a way out as soon as possible."

"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier."

"Ma Tou'er, the little one just remembered this stubble"

"Turn back, turn back!"

Ma Liuda roared, fortunately he didn't go far after the stream, and following the trail of the army, it was easy to find the stream he had walked before.

Three thousand men and horses walked along the stream, taking turns to cut down trees and thorns in front of them, but in spite of this, many of the soldiers' clothes were scratched and torn like savages, and the three thousand men were in a state of utter disarray.

At night, they shrank in the jungle, fortunately the weather is cold, there are no mosquitoes, poisonous snakes and other nasty things, Ma Liuliang, these 3,000 people and horses are mostly mountain people, more suitable for this environment, and there is no illness for the time being.

The next day, after another full day, the front suddenly opened up, and the stream rushed out of the ravine and into a river.

As far as the eye can see, along both sides of the river, you can vaguely see a small number of thatched huts distributed, a road winds from the side of the mountain, and there is a wooden bridge over the river

Seeing this scene, although it is not clear where it is for the time being, the soldiers who have been drilling in the forest in the mountains for two days almost did not cry.

"Fuck, finally"

"Shhhh Get down, get down! If there are enemy troops, retreat to the woods first, quickly" He Jinan in front suddenly shouted.

Wu Xiaoliu hurriedly closed his voice and pulled the soldiers around him back into the bushes.

But two or three miles away from the river, a group of men and horses turned mightily from the other side of the mountain, with two or three thousand infantry in front of them, and in the middle were all chariots and horses, and the carts were full of things, all of which were tightly covered with tarpaulins.

Needless to say, as soon as you look at the messy attire of this group of people, you can tell that they are the Tusi army.

Between the long car array, there are even Yangyang halogen book honor guards and flags fluttering, like princes traveling, and on the flag, you can see a big "sand" word

Tang Yue took a closer look through the bushes with a telescope, and couldn't help but exclaim ecstatically: "God, this is Shadingzhou, it must be Shadingzhou, strange, isn't Shadingzhou in Kunming?" Could it be that we are in Kunming? ”

"Sour Xiucai, don't scream, the enemy's sentry is coming over, everyone retreat into the depths of the woods, hurry up."

When the army marches, there are usually sentry sentries around it, which is basic common sense, and Sha Dingzhou is no exception, there are two or three horsemen galloping towards the woods from afar, and they hurriedly retreat into the woods.

"Fuck it, it's great, the hardships of the past two days have not been in vain, and I actually let Lao Tzu run headlong into Sha Dingzhou, right, Sour Xiucai, are you sure that Sha Dingzhou must come? I remember seeing that sand flag in Qujing. ”

"General Ma, don't you see the guard of honor like a prince, now in Yunnan, except for Sha Dingzhou, who can put on this posture?"

"Hehe, I hope you're right, this time it's sent, it's gone!" Ma Liuliang's eyes lit up with joy, and his tongue subconsciously added lips, like a wolf that had seen meat.

The soldiers couldn't help whispering, excitedly passing on the news, the savage-like life in the past two days, suffering so much, what a hard-working person, God is standing on our side again.

It wasn't until the enemy sentry approached the edge of the forest that everyone was silent, and the enemy sentry was just routinely scattered, obviously not expecting anyone to cross this inaccessible reckless jungle, and did not enter the forest to search.

Sha Dingzhou's men and horses began to cross the river from the wooden bridge two or three miles away, two or three thousand infantry crossed the east of the river first, and then came down to the Yangyang halo book, a luxury car, if it was not bad, this should be the honor guard of Sha Dingzhou and Wan's.

After crossing the river, the enemy forces in front, including the chariots of Sha Dingzhou, stopped and waited for the heavy carts to cross the bridge, and it took an hour for the hundreds of carts to pass completely.

There were still six or seven thousand men and horses on the west bank of the river, and although the formation was scattered, it seemed calm, and it was clear that this confusion was their original style, and not caused by being busy running for their lives.

"General Ma, Shadingzhou has crossed the river, let's start it."

"Don't worry, don't worry, there are still six or seven thousand horses behind, now kill the Lu, these six or seven thousand horses will escape, and wait"
