"Kill ............!!!"

Beside the green fields, wildflowers are in full bloom and dazzling in color.

The earth was trembling slightly, blood was spilled on the field, and two teams of more than 1,000 people were fighting in the field.

No, it's not a fight, it's more like a one-sided slaughter.

The simple banner of the Yuan army fell to the ground and was trampled into pieces by the horse's hooves, Zhang Xiu relaxed the tightened reins, and his eyes scanned the surroundings, all that came into view was the Xihe army, and the last Yuan army that could still stand up had disappeared.

"The whole army advanced half a kilometer and rested by the stream for an hour!" Zhang Xiu didn't have much energy to boost morale, this was already the third battle today, and even he couldn't remember how many battles he had experienced during this time. Anyway, if you walk on a road, you will encounter a large or small, thousands or hundreds, and sometimes you will bump into the Yuan army heading towards Lingkou Pass if you don't move forward.

In the face of these moths fighting the fire of the Yuan army, Zhang Xiu naturally had nothing else to say, one word, kill!

If this person kills too much, he will also be tired, especially if this person's strength is not good, he can't arouse people's desire to fight, but he doesn't appear endlessly, and he doesn't give people a chance to breathe and rest.

So much so that Zhang Xiu sometimes doubts that Su Butai is not to delay so far, but to disgust himself.

No matter what Zhang Xiu thought, the purpose of Subutai was achieved, and the Xihe Army, which was attacking from three directions, advanced like a bamboo at the beginning, and now is moving step by step, the speed has decreased several times, and the Xihe soldiers have to take turns to rest. Not because they are injured, but because they are too stressed. Morale is so low that he has no intention of fighting.

In order to reduce unnecessary casualties and morale, Zhang Xiu and his team had to rotate and adjust the troops to the rear to rest and recuperate.

As a result, Zhang Xiu and the others did not even finish half of the road in Sichuanzhou.

There is nothing to clean up on the battlefield. There are not a few elites in the Yuan army sent out by Subutai, they are all cannon fodder trained in a hurry, and they are also foot soldiers, the cavalry is pitiful, and the cavalry mounts are also uneven. After a few times, Zhang Xiu simply didn't even clean up the battlefield. Throw him to the infantry who have not yet arrived in the rear, saving the strength of the cavalry.

Half a kilometer of the road passed in a flash, stopping by the stream. Zhang Xiu let his war horse rest, summoned his guards, and asked, "How many people are here this time?" ”

"General, about nine hundred and thirty people!"

This guard is an extremely experienced scout. In many cases, a glance at the number of troops can be approximated. Because of this, he was recruited by Zhang Xiu into the personal guard.

"Nine hundred and thirty? In the past three days, how many Yuan troops have we killed? When Zhang Xiu heard this number, he suddenly felt a headache, and he couldn't kill it. Even if he didn't care about these things, Ren felt that although the people he killed were fast, he was not as fast as the Yuan army to replenish them.

"This ......!" The guards secretly calculated, and only after half a sound did they speak: "More than eight thousand seven hundred people!" ”

"What about the elite?"

In the past three days, fewer and fewer regular troops of the Yuan army were encountered. It's just that Zhang Xiu has been focusing on rushing and guarding against the Yuan army, and he can't remember the specific number of people for a long time.

"Kill thirty-five of the elite. More than 100 people escaped! ”

The elite and ordinary cannon fodder troops of the Yuan army are very easy and convenient, not to mention anything else, but the mounts and equipment cannot be faked, and the individual strength and riding skills are not inferior to the Xihe cavalry under Zhang Xiu, and they are not the cannon fodder of the Yuan army that is temporarily recruited. Therefore, after the battle, the Xihe Army usually inspected the corpses and picked up the loot.

"Is that all? It seems that Subutai is determined to use us for military training? "Training, yes, Zhang Xiu has vaguely sensed another purpose of Subutai, in addition to delaying their speed and reducing the will of the Xihe Army with a lot of sacrifices, there is also the desire to train troops.

Don't look at Zhang Xiu killing people every time, it's because he relies on the convenience of cavalry, and he himself has never shown mercy, but other troops are different.

After all, Zhang Xiu's killing, the number of Xihe soldiers taking turns to rest has greatly increased, and in order to ensure the quality of mentality adjustment, the time for rest and recuperation cannot be reduced, and in order to ensure that there is enough troop allocation, the other two troops cannot be replaced as frequently as Zhang Xiu.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu did not use his vanguard force, which was given priority to be guaranteed, to other troops.

"No, if you continue to toss like this, no matter how many troops you have, you can't withstand his consumption, you must speed up the march!"

Zhang Xiu began to feel anxious in his heart, the Yuan army had a huge population to replenish, even if it was cannon fodder, it was enough to bring a lot of pressure to the Xihe army, not to mention that after the baptism of war, cannon fodder could also become elite. This does not allow Zhang Xiu not to feel anxious.

Zhang Xiu doesn't know what Xu Rong thinks, maybe the break is on the other side, but these are not what Zhang Xiu needs to think, in his position, he knows that as long as he does his best, he will be the greatest support for Xu Rong.

An hour passed quickly, and Zhang Xiu decided to advance a third more today to test the reaction of the Yuan army.

Zhang Xiu divided the troops into two strands, which were less than 100 meters apart, and under the gallop, they looked no different from one from a distance.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xiu encountered two Yuan troops, one of which was less than two hundred, one of which was more than a thousand, and the Yuan army of more than a thousand was radially distinct, seemingly one, but in fact it was very scattered, Zhang Xiu saw the other party's bottom at a glance, more than 1,000 Xihe elite horses, more than 500 people interspersed and tore the Yuan army in half directly from the weak point of the other party.

Another group of Xihe elite cavalry, under the leadership of Zhang Xiu, beheaded head-on, drove away the defeated troops of the Yuan army that had lost its center and attacked the other Yuan army.

On the first day, Zhang Xiu accelerated forward nearly a third of the distance, which did not cause a reaction from the Yuan army, and the second day, Zhang Xiu was a little bolder, or rather, he had already noticed that the elite of the Yuan army was nearby, in order to lead out the elite of the Yuan army who did not dare to fight, Zhang Xiu simply paid little attention to the cannon fodder army, and actually moved forward more than 80 kilometers.

If it weren't for the fear of breaking away from the contact with the rear troops and falling into the encirclement of the Yuan army, Zhang Xiu said that he would not be able to lead the Xihe elite cavalry and run more than 100 kilometers a day.

At this time, Zhang Xiuke really stabbed the hornet's nest, and a nearby Yuan army elite cavalry did not think about it at all, and attacked Zhang Xiu that night, and the result can be imagined, the Yuan army rushed into the empty camp, but was killed by the ambushed Xihe army.

After chasing five kilometers, Zhang Xiu ordered to stop the pursuit, because Zhang Xiu knew that the next thing was the beginning of the bitter battle, as long as his speed was not suppressed back, he would encounter more and more Yuan troops, until he did not grasp the speed and fell into the encirclement of the Yuan army, or he stopped and waited for the follow-up troops.
