Chapter 138 Breakout Time
Zhagu's army was defeated.

Lost very badly!
With the fall of Liu Fa's banner, the Zhagu army, which had been struggling for a long time, completely collapsed. Many soldiers fled in all directions in a panic. The ancient army ran wild, and many people were beaten out of psychological shadows, and the battlefield was littered with corpses.

All the armies were scattered to break through. Among them, General Hu Lie and Han Guang, the commander-in-chief of the Shengwu Army, united a group of nearly 13 troops, and broke through in the direction of Qingqingling and Baobeiling. The army officer Chen Xiu's defeated troops converged, and the two generals broke through the siege hand in hand.The first part of the Iron Man chased after him and surrounded the second general in the depression between the two ridges.It was late summer, and the temperature dropped sharply at night. The remnants of the second general lacked clothing, food, and firewood to keep warm. Most of them died of freezing and starvation overnight.The Iron Man attacked the next day, and Zhagu's army was wiped out. From the generals Han Guang and Chen Xiu down, [-] generals including Ma Silang, Facao Judge Tuzhong, Zhonglang General Xun Hui, General Du Qi, and Zhizhai Zang Wei all fought. die.

On the other hand, General Huyi and the commander-in-chief of the Victory Army, Wang Ma, broke through the siege.Because he was close to Ningbei Village, he bypassed Ningbei and broke out to the west. The Iron Man Cavalry chased him wildly. Wang Ma fled westward for a hundred miles in embarrassment and fled to the seaside. .With no water source and no food, under the desperate situation of people and horses, even the soldiers and generals gave up resistance in despair, and the king and horse wanted to surrender.Generals Xu Hu, Fan Tong and others refused to follow, and led those who did not want to surrender to fight against the enemy cavalry, until they lost their strength and all died.General Wang Ma and his three sons, together with 372 remnants of defeated generals, surrendered.

The iron man won the martial arts of Wang Ma Dayao, Wang Ma couldn't bear the humiliation, and committed suicide
Several other iron man cavalry that pursued were captured, and they returned on July 7 for statistical verification. They beheaded Han Guang, Chen Xiu, Liu Min, Han Zong, Chen Li, Liu Ze, Liu Hei, Gu Cheng, Bai Qing, Han Xu, Ding Dang, Ning Cheng, Jiang Fang, Xu Yi, Li Han, Yang Xuan, Gu Jun, Fu Lu, Hu Lei, Yu Qi, Wang Kui, Xuan Ye, Ni Bing, Lu Dan, Yang Feng, Miao Lu, Su Li, Ning Fang, and Ye Jing had a total of 28 members, captured 70 generals including Wang Ma, beheaded countless Zhagu soldiers, and captured more than 18 people.

In addition, all the baggage and field weapons of the Zagu army were seized, and the scattered armor on the battlefield was almost endless.A single-step man has 4000 collars in his hand, which greatly enhances the combat power of the Iron Man soldiers and horses.

Up to now, except for the two generals Liu Fa and Sun Kang who are missing, the 20 troops who followed Liu Fa to the north to cross the Kunlun River have been completely lost. A large number of core generals in the army died in battle. The empire's military power in the northwest dealt a huge blow!

If they come so many times, the Zhagu Empire can only rely on the Prairie Army, Shuofang Army, Zhenxi Army and other feudal groups in the northwest.

Fortunately, the grassland is vast, and some soldiers can always escape.
"The current location is here, and 30 miles further south will be the Hukulun River!"

Somewhere in the woods, the exhausted 1500 Wei cavalry and 20 Tan family cavalry are resting. Yi Shang and Zheng Weier will patrol the camp and boost morale.In the middle of the camp, the leaders of the three main teams, Zhang Cai, Tan Yang, and Lin Yang, sat in a group to discuss the way forward.

Zhang Cai and Tan Yang each had a map in their hands, both of which were hand-drawn on the way northward. However, Zhang Cai's drawing was too precise, resulting in too few drawings; Tan Yang was on the contrary, with many drawings but not accurate enough.But no matter what, both of them were worthy of Teacher Pei Lun's teachings and did not return the knowledge.

As for Lin Yang, he didn't draw. He was mainly in charge of the army. How could he have any free time?Moreover, Zhang Cai and Tan Yang are both present, so there is nothing to worry about.

"If I remember correctly, Baoding Village is more than 20 miles southward. Baoding Village is only 20 miles away from the Huluun River. If Cupid and Luo God bless you, you can rest in Baoding Village before crossing the river. The matter of withdrawing from Henan." Tan Yang said without hesitation, "I have sent Yuan Rang to take people to Baoding Village to investigate, and I hope there will be good news."

Breaking out that day, Liu Fa went south, Wang Ma went west, Han Guang and Chen Xiu went east, and Du Linyang followed Zhang Cai and Tan Yang's words to break through to the north, borrowing the speed of the cavalry to quickly leave the battlefield, make a big circle and go south Although he had to take a rest due to lack of people and horses, at least he has not been discovered by the Iron Man Cavalry right now.

Hearing Tan Yang's opinion, Zhang Cai frowned and said, "Replenish supplies in Baoding village? It's true that our army is in urgent need of food and supplies, but I don't believe that after so many days, the main force of the army is finished, and the little iron man in Baoding village is still alive Conquer? I propose to ambush a group of iron cavalry, take their food and horses to replenish, and investigate some intelligence by the way."

"If you can fight, it's better not to fight." Tan Yang shook his head and replied: "Now that the new defeat has hit the morale of the army, it's safe."

Zhang Cai quickly retorted: "If you don't stop, you will be disturbed by it!"

Tan Yang said with a disapproving smile: "Although this is the case, when it comes to military affairs, we need to make a decision before we move! Don't make a big mistake because of rashness. Since I crossed the river, I feared that the three armies would be defeated, so I stopped all the way. I was thinking about how to break through if I was besieged? How to get back alive? After planning for a long time, I naturally have some plans! Don’t worry, if Baoding Village really falls, I still have other ways to get through the difficulties.”

Zhang Cai nodded suspiciously, but Lin Yang clapped a hand over and spoke softly to Tan Yang.

"Boda, don't come up with ideas that shock me like Zhang Cai did~~~~"

But Tan Yang preached: "Don't worry, Yun Ji. As a general, you must be calm and cautious, but also decisive and bold! Zhang Cai is absolutely decisive and bold, but also calm and cautious, so there is a great victory in Yinshan. Every battle must be risky. If you can't take risks, you are a dull general who fights positional warfare. Yunji, you still need to work hard."

After a while, when Tan Dun came back, Baoding village fell as expected.Zhang Cai saw what else Tan Yang could do, and Tan Yang ordered unhurriedly, "Is there iron cavalry on the mountain northwest of Baoding Village?"

"The subordinates personally inspected, and there is no one there!"

"Do you remember everything?"

"No one has changed!"

"Lead all the soldiers forward!"

Tan Dun took the order, and when he came to the place Tan Yang said, he took out enough rations for the troops for three days.Zhang Cai was very puzzled, but Tan Yang said indifferently that he left behind in advance.

If you ask where does food come from?I, Tan Boda, am an upright official. How much do I have to do with the general's mansion, is it difficult to get a little bit out of the army rations?

Filling his stomach quickly, Tan Yang talked about his plan: "My plan is very simple, just make a time difference!"

"Time difference?"

"Time difference…………"

Tan Yang nodded: "It's only been a few days since the whole army collapsed and broke through separately! Iron Man's troops are not many in the battle, and they must still be chasing and killing our soldiers everywhere. As I said before, the key is crossing the river, so I predict that there will either be an intercepting force of Iron Man on the north bank of the Hukunlun River, but the number will never be large! Or, there will be none."

"I mean, seize this time difference and take advantage of the situation to break through and cross the river!"

Lin Yang said: "It's okay, it's not risky, I agree."

Seeing that Lin Yang agreed, Tan Yang said: "Okay, Yun Ji agrees, Zhang Cai, you don't need to say any more, I guess there is a [-]% chance that you disagree."

Zhang Cai nodded calmly.

"Okay, then let's go south and try to stay within 10 miles of the Hukunlun River. Even if we operate at night, the horse army can reach it with a snap of our fingers!"

After deciding on a plan of action, the soldiers headed south cautiously. Before they had gone far, the sound of horseshoes could be heard from afar.

Taking a closer look, it was Tan Dun and the 20 Tan cavalrymen.

Speaking of which, Tan Dun and Tan Yuansheng have a powerful face, a square face, a slightly raised nose bridge, a pair of majestic sword eyebrows, piercing eyes, and a good appearance. I don’t know how many girls have attracted their hearts.
Tan Yang has already stepped forward: "What's wrong with Yuan Rang?"

Tan Dun panted and said: "We found our rout 10 miles to the west. There are three to four thousand soldiers, and they are being chased and killed by more than a thousand iron cavalry!"

This was just heard by Zhang Cai: "Among the defeated army, three or 4000 people can be united to retreat. To have such prestige, even if it is not Liu Yanqing, it must be Sun Zeping!"

Tan Yang said: "Since he is a general of the empire, he should be saved!"

Lin Yang immediately sent an order
