Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 183 Chasing, Pursuing
"Boom..., clatter..."

This piece of cyan rock, which seemed to be the size of a wild boar lying on the ground, was suddenly shattered by one end of Pang Yan's double-headed mace and steel thorn hammer. With the force of the steel thorn hammer, it also scattered into the air. There was a piece of gravel.

"Come down! Come down!"

The Shanyue soldiers around were also shouting in their mouths, and at the same time approached the cavalry step by step with their spears and push forks, and the side bottom made the remaining three or four hundred Ruorong cavalry lose their fighting spirit.

The more than 2000 cavalry after Ruo Rong was broken, the entire army was wiped out. Pang Yan captured nearly 2000 strong horses for Zhu Wei, and then sent out [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers to escort these Ruo Rong cavalry and horses. Zhang Cheng went back.

After Pang Yan quickly reorganized his troops, he continued to pursue the retreating direction of Ruo Rong's army. This time it took another half an hour to deal with the [-] cavalrymen of Ruo Rong, and there were [-] Dharma Protectors in front of Ruo Rong. Blocking the way, it is indeed not easy to chase and kill Ruo Rong's army.

It's a pity that the Shanyue soldiers brought by Pang Yan this time basically don't know how to ride horses, otherwise the more than 2000 horses captured can be used, and the speed of catching up with Ruo Rong's army will be much faster.

It's just that it's useless to think about it now, Pang Yan can only run with the feet of these mountain soldiers.

Fortunately, these Shanyue soldiers are indeed worthy of being Danyang soldiers. Even though they have just fought a battle, they are still full of energy, and their morale is even more high because of the battle just now.

Not long after, they had already caught up to the formation of the three thousand Dharma Protector Civilian Army that Zuo Rong had left behind.

These Ruo Rong's Dharma protectors did not expect that none of the [-] cavalry on their side could come back after the battle, and now it is Zhu Wei's army, seeing nearly [-] Shanyue soldiers rushing towards them, Even if they have some bows and arrows in their hands, they can only shoot them in disorder.

"Wow, whoever blocks me will die!"

Seeing this, Pang Yan took the lead, waved the double-headed mace in his hand, pushed away the arrows that were shot, and rushed into the formation of these Dharma protectors. In this way, these Dharma protectors lost the advantage of continuing to use arrows. Being killed by Pang Yan caused confusion.

"Kill! Kill!"

The five thousand mountain Yue soldiers in the back, armed with ring-shoulders and double-arc hand shields, followed Pang Yan and rushed into the formation of these Dharma protectors. They were unstoppable for a while.

After all, these Dharma protectors were transformed from Buddhist believers who had not received much training. With their belief in the gods and Buddhas in their hearts, they could go to the battlefield without fear of life and death.

Under the protection of gods and Buddhas, they should have been invincible, they should have been protected by arhats, and King Kong was not bad, but they had lost several battles with Wang Yuyan before, and this time they attacked Yuzhang City. Fell back under the city wall.

Seeing so many people die under the city wall, these people's hearts are actually broken. It can be said that the morale of Ruo Rong's entire army has reached its lowest point.

Many family members of Buddhist soldiers and Dharma protectors in Ruo Rong's army were in Yuzhang City. Now that Yuzhang City was captured by Zhu Wei, their families didn't know what was going on, but they had to leave with Ruo Rong. No matter how pious they are to Buddhism, it is impossible for them to really ignore family affection.

Many devout believers even thought in their hearts, whether this is a doom, maybe it is God's will, and many people have already lost their fighting spirit.

Especially those Dharma protectors had the idea of ​​going home one after another, and now naturally they lost a little bit of madness and desperate energy in chanting Buddha mantras, so they were rushed by the soldiers led by Pang Yan, and they were only wearing messy clothes. The Dharma Protectors, who didn't even have body armor and leather armor, couldn't resist, and inevitably scattered and fled, almost collapsing at the first touch.

In just one stick of incense, less than a hundred people died in the Dharma Protector Army, and most of them ran away, and a small half knelt down and surrendered.

"Forgive me! Forgive me!", "I want to see my mother! I want to see my mother!", "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Seeing that these people lost their fighting spirit and turned into ordinary civilians again, Pang Yan didn't bother to send people to escort them. He just confiscated their weapons and asked them to go to Yuzhang City to find their relatives. They are placed.

In this battle, the more than [-] Shanyue soldiers on Pang Yan's side only slightly injured a dozen people, and no one died in battle. After all, these Shanyue soldiers were all wearing leather armor. , received almost no resistance.

So Pang Yan just asked people to stop and clean up the battlefield, and continued to chase after Ruo Rong's army without stopping.

After chasing for another half a day, the scouts in front finally saw the traces of Ruo Rong's army in the distance. More than 2 people spread out and turned into a sea of ​​people. Moving to the southwest.

Ruo Rong didn't know that the soldiers behind him had been wiped out, so he didn't have much defense against the rear, but sent another [-] Buddha soldiers and [-] Dharma protectors to defend in the northeast.

Now Ruo Rong's army doesn't have much luggage. He even abandoned the camp he built in front of Yuzhang City. In order to hurry up and transfer, he didn't bring any tents with him. faster.

It's just that from Yuzhang City to Xingan County, Ruorong's destination this time, it would take at least two days at Ruorong's current marching speed.

Originally, going south along the Yuzhang River could be reached directly by water, but now Yuzhang City was taken by Zhu Wei, and Ze Rong’s water camp fifty miles northeast of Yuzhang City was also lost. A ship that replaces transportation can only march on land and walk on two feet.

The only thing is that Ruo Rong still retains more than 2 troops, and he is still a hedgehog that is not easy to eat. Anyone who wants to bite him may have his mouth pierced by his counterattack.

So after Pang Yan detected Ruo Rong's main force, he also slowed down the Shanyue soldiers he brought, and began to pay attention to conserving his energy.

In fact, Pang Yan led his troops in such a hurry to chase, mainly because he was worried that Tai Shici and Ling Cao would suffer losses if they contacted Ruo Rong's main force, so he wanted to rush to attack from both sides as soon as possible.

But now that Tai Shici and Ling Cao brought more than 5000 soldiers and horses, it seems that they did not directly challenge or block Ruo Rong's army, so naturally Pang Yan would not bring his own [-] Shanyue soldiers up to seek death.

Then Pang Yan asked his scouts to look for Taishi Ci and Ling Cao's soldiers and horses. It happened that Taishi Ci and Ling Cao also sent scouts to Yuzhang City, so Pang Yan, Tai Shici, and Ling Cao were in Zerong. The rear of the army converged.

In this way, the total strength of the two sides would be nearly ten thousand soldiers. Pang Yan, Tai Shici, and Ling Cao inevitably got together to discuss how to pursue Ruo Rong's army.

When Tai Shici and Ling Cao led troops to Yuzhang City before, Wang Yuyan also gave them instructions not to start a war with Ruo Rong easily. If Ruo Rong still stays in front of Yuzhang City, then it is good to block Ruo Rong's retreat , Waiting for Wang Yuyan to lead the army to come and surround Ruo Rong to death outside Yuzhang City.

But if Ruo Rong had already led the troops to withdraw, all he had to do was follow up and wait for an opportunity to harass him, but there was no need to fight head-on with Ruo Rong's army.

In addition, Zhu Wei also sent instructions to Tai Shici and Ling Cao, and he also didn't want them to fight against Ruo Rong's army at will, so as not to deplete his own troops.

That's why Tai Shici and Ling Cao didn't take action against Ruo Rong's army before, but now that they have gathered Pang Yan's five thousand mountain soldiers and felt that their troops are not weak, the three of them still want to try against Ruo Rong's remnant army ...
