The Liaodong Army was defeated, and the Northwest Army pursued them day and night according to Chu Huan's wishes, killing countless Liaodong soldiers along the way.

Under the escort of a few cavalry, Kou Ying rushed out of the siege of the Northwest Army. Knowing that the situation was over, he didn't even plan to enter Daoma City. Chance.

After a tragic duel, there was a one-sided pursuit battle. Under the pursuit of the Northwest Army, the defeated Liaodong Army had no fighting spirit and lost cohesion. In front of it is vulnerable.

In fact, compared with the Huangling decisive battle, the pursuit battle caused more heavy casualties.

In the Battle of Huangling, although the Liaodong Army was defeated, only three or four thousand people were killed or injured on the battlefield. On the contrary, after the defeat, they were hunted down along the way. The Liaodong Army killed or injured no less than 7000 or [-] people, and many more had already scattered. And escape, each to save their lives.

For most of the soldiers in Liaodong, retreating to Yanshan was out of crisis. The surrendered soldiers disarmed but did not kill, and assigned a small number of soldiers to escort the Liaodong prisoners.

Kou Ying's horse didn't stop, and even killed a horse on the way. Fortunately, there were still loyal subordinates to let the horse go. After running like this for three days and three nights, he finally saw the outline of Yanshan Mountain in the distance.

As they approached Yanshan, the number of defeated troops increased. In fact, after passing through Daoma City, the speed of the Northwest Army's pursuit slowed down.

Kou Ying gathered the remnant soldiers who retreated to the vicinity of Yanshan Mountain, but the total number was only three or four thousand. Mo Wuyi left him [-] soldiers and horses, Xu Chang's four thousand soldiers were trapped in the Huangling Mountains, Qi Sheng's The whereabouts of the [-] soldiers and horses are already unknown, but most of the remaining [-] to [-] cavalry were scattered alive. Seeing these thousands of soldiers and horses retreating in a disastrous defeat, Kou Ying really wanted to cry without tears.

This is the capital that Chi Liandian has accumulated over the years, and it is also the trump card of the Liaodong Army's reputation, but after only one battle, it was almost buried by itself.

He knew very well in his heart that although the retreating thousands of soldiers were still the same people, their hearts were no longer the same as before.

This defeat was an unprecedented disastrous defeat for the Liaodong Army. Not to mention the countless elite cavalry who died in battle, the most fatal thing was the psychological blow to the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army was originally an iron army that was invincible. Whether it was facing barbarians, Koreans, Qingtian bandits, or even the Qin army, it had always been invincible. Even if the Battle of Yanshan was under extremely difficult conditions, it would be desperate Persistence finally broke through Yanshan. The tenacity and morale accumulated in countless hard battles before was originally an invisible wealth of the Liaodong Army. However, in the battle of Huangling, the previously accumulated resilience and self-confidence were severely destroyed.

To have strong self-confidence and resilience requires the accumulation of countless wars, but to destroy these, only one battle like this one is needed.

Kou Ying knew that after this battle, the Liaodong Army had lost the capital to fight for world hegemony.

The Battle of Yanshan with the Qin Army depleted the main force of the Liaodong infantry and seriously depleted the vitality of Liaodong, and this time the Liaodong cavalry suffered a fatal blow. Liaodong is now at an unprecedented trough.

"General, drink some water!" A general next to him brought a water bag. Kou Ying's lips were already cracked. Coming, Kou Ying saw the person in front, threw the water bag back to the person beside him, went up to meet him, and asked, "Eighteenth brother, how is the situation?"

The eighteenth brother also looked to be in his fifties, with a serious face, and looked around. At this moment, there were a group of remnants and defeated generals, all staring at the eighteenth brother. The eighteenth brother hesitated, and then said: "The general ordered , let’s rest here for a while, the road on the mountain is blocked and is being dredged up, once it is cleared, they will immediately open the switch and let us go up the mountain.”

"How long will it take?" Someone immediately asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, everyone, it won't be too long." The eighteenth brother forced a smile and said, "Everyone knows that it hasn't been long since the army withdrew from Daomacheng, carrying a lot of luggage, and moving very slowly. Let's wait a little longer." Waved his hand. He said: "Everyone, let's rest. After entering the mountain, we must speed up our journey. It's rare to rest at that time. It's just a good time to recharge our batteries."

Although everyone just had to wait, they were quite disappointed, but they were not in despair when they thought that they would be able to go up the mountain when the road was cleared.

After the crowd dispersed, Kou Ying walked slowly to a side stone and sat down, with the eighteenth brother following him. Kou Ying glanced at the eighteenth brother and sneered, "Aren't they going to let us go up the mountain?"

The eighteenth brother hesitated for a moment before saying: "What Mo Wuyi meant, second brother, you underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, resulting in this disastrous defeat. The crime is unforgivable. He said that there are only two roads to choose. The first road, everyone else can go up the mountain. Only the second brother can’t go up the mountain, so you can apologize to the soldiers in public. The second way, the second brother goes up the mountain to meet him first...!”

"To see him alone?" Kou Ying clenched his fists and sneered, "To see him alone at this time, wouldn't it be like hitting his head on a knife?"

"That's the reason." Eighteenth Brother sighed: "But Mo Wuyi has already blocked several passages in Yanshan Mountain. Without his consent, it is absolutely impossible for us to enter the mountain."

"If we can't pass Yanshan, we will take a detour through Hebei." Kou Ying sneered: "I don't believe that we can't go back to Liaodong."

The eighteenth brother's lips moved slightly, but he hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak.

"What do you want to say?" Kou Ying frowned.

The eighteenth brother hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "Second brother, things... things are worse than expected."

"Oh?" Kou Ying's face darkened slightly: "What happened?"

"Your family...!"

"What?" Kou Ying stood up suddenly: "How dare Mo Wuyi do something to my family? Although I have no confrontation with him, it is not to the point of life and death. He... how dare he harm his family? "

"Second brother, don't worry, your family is fine for the time being." The eighteenth brother said: "It's just that if the second brother dares not go to see him to apologize in person, he can apologize in front of the soldiers. The second brother does this, he... he thinks that he is a brother for many years, and he will not embarrass your family, and will send someone to send your family over..."

"What crime did he ask me to apologize? Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If you lose a battle, you have to apologize in public?" Kou Ying heard that her family was safe, and she was slightly relieved, and snorted coldly.

"It's not just that." The eighteenth brother sighed softly: "He asked you to admit in public that you have the intention of supporting the army and usurping power and treason, and also asked you to admit to the soldiers that for your own selfish desires, you will not hesitate tens of thousands of soldiers. life...!"

"Shut up!" Kou Ying shouted sharply.

The eighteenth brother hurriedly shut up, the already slack muscles on Kou Ying's face trembled, his pupils dilated, and his fists were clenched tightly, looking extremely ferocious, and the anger in his eyes was hard to hide.

"He wants to destroy me completely." Kou Ying said angrily, "I will never let him succeed."

The eighteenth brother sighed, and said: "Second brother, if you don't agree, we won't be able to go up the mountain, and we won't be able to return to Liaodong. You said that it is impossible to take a detour from Hebei. Once the thousands of us enter Hebei I'm afraid that before we leave Hebei, we will be killed by Qingtian King's troops...!" He said with a wry smile: "Even if we really go through Hebei, when we arrive in Liaodong, Liaodong will already be in his hands. ...and how do we stand against him?"

"He had a premeditated plan." Kou Ying clenched his fist and said, "I'm afraid that's what he planned from the very beginning. No matter whether we win or lose, he is ready to block Yanshan and block our way back to Liaodong... .!" His expression became fierce: "Mo Wuyi, it really is cruel."

The eighteenth brother glanced at Kou Ying, then glanced at the groups of Liaodong soldiers, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, then... what should we do next? The cold winter is not over, and all our food, grass and supplies There is nothing left, not to mention rations, even if you put up a tent to keep out the wind and cold. Many brothers have already eaten up the dry food they carried, and they can only satisfy their hunger with snow, and... Northwesterners do not know when To kill them, let's...!"

Kou Ying stared at the eighteenth brother, and said with a sneer: "Do you want me to apologize in public or go to see him in public according to Mo Wuyi's intention? In this way, you can all go up the mountain and return home?"

The eighteenth brother frowned and said: "Second brother, if I have this heart, there is no need to come back after going up the mountain. If I want to cross the pass and enter the mountain, they will not stop me. It's just that since I choose to follow the second brother, I don't think about it." ever betrayed you...!"

Kou Ying showed a slight look of guilt, raised her hand and patted the shoulder of the eighteenth brother, and said with a wry smile: "Brothers are dying and scattered, Xu Chang and the others are uncertain... don't take it to heart."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Eighteenth Brother hadn't spoken yet, but he heard the sound of horseshoes from the west. At this time, many Liaodong soldiers were already startled. It wasn't that someone had drawn his sword out of its sheath and was about to make a final fight. By that time, someone had already shouted: "It's ours, it's ours...!"

Kou Ying was also looking to the west at this time. A group of cavalry was coming on horseback. There were about one or two hundred people. He vaguely heard someone asking loudly: "Where is General Kou? Where is General Kou?"

Then someone pointed towards Kou Ying, the cavalry team approached, there was still a distance away, but there were crowded Liaodong soldiers blocking the way, the group had to stop their horses, and the few people in front got off their horses, and one of them pointed at this While scanning for a few times, he saw Kou Ying's figure and hurried to this side, but Kou Ying had already recognized it, and it was Qi Sheng who came.

Seeing Qi Sheng, Kou Ying was furious, picked up the horsewhip and went up to him, Qi Sheng was a few steps away, kneeling on the ground, but Kou Ying was already waving the horsewhip, Qi Sheng did not dodge, but wailed. When he burst into tears, Kou Ying didn't care about it, and after whipping more than a dozen times, Qi Sheng's skin was torn apart, even two whip marks appeared on his face.

"Tell me, where did you go with 5000 troops?" Kou Ying was furious, thinking that if Qi Sheng hadn't suddenly disappeared with [-] cavalry, the battle at Huangling might not have been such a miserable defeat. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. After a few whips, "Where are they now?"

Although he was furious, he was not confused. Although he wished to kill Qi Sheng with a knife, he was looking forward to bringing back the 5000 troops.

If the 5000 men and horses return safely, plus the remnants here, there are still nearly [-] horses in their hands. Even if they can't pass Yanshan, but they can lead tens of thousands of horses, they can break into Hebei and take a detour. The opponent, but there are tens of thousands of cavalry, but it is not hopeless to fight a bloody road from the territory of Hebei.

Qi Sheng knelt on the ground, under the watchful eyes of everyone, with a mournful face: "Second brother, you kill me, I... I'm a bastard, I'm... I'll bury all those 5000 troops, I'll kill you!" Damn...!"

Qi Sheng was also in his fifties, and the half-century old man knelt in front of Kou Ying and wailed loudly, looking very funny, but the blood stains on his body from Kou Ying's beating were not so funny.

When Kou Ying heard that 5000 people and horses were all buried, he immediately felt a little dizzy, and his body swayed. If it wasn't for Shiba's support, he would almost fall down.
