Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 325 319. Pursuit
"Weizhi! Are you okay?!"

The man who had just been talking in a low voice with Guan Suo saw that Guan Suo was almost thrown off his horse by Madam Zhu Rong's flying knife, so he quickly rode forward to show concern for Guan Suo.

"Oh! Oh! Sanniang, I'm fine."

Guan Suo held the horse's neck tightly and comforted it a few times to stop it from being frightened. Only then did he have the time to respond to the visitor's concern.

The person who cared about Guan Suo was none other than Bao Sanniang, the younger sister of Bao Feng and Bao Yi, and the eldest daughter of Old Master Bao. Bao Sanniang was quite different from her two brothers, she was also pretty, but her eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit.

Unlike her two brothers, Bao Sanniang did not use any unpopular weapon, but a knife like Guan Suo.

Even in terms of martial arts alone, Guan Suo, who has little experience and a small body, cannot beat Bao Sanniang. Because Bao Sanniang is a woman, she develops faster than men. In addition, she practices with her two brothers every day. Although she is not at the top level, she is not much inferior to ordinary first-class generals.

"How can you be so cruel, woman! You really want to bully everyone in my Han army!"

Now seeing that her future husband was almost injured, Bao Sanniang was so angry that she pointed the big knife in her hand and shouted in a delicate voice.

"Heh, where did you come from, little yellow-haired girl? You dare to teach me a lesson? Take my sword!"

Madam Zhu Rong almost laughed out loud when she heard Bao Sanniang's scolding. She didn't bother to waste any more words with these sharp-tongued Han people and just threw a flying knife at them.

How could Bao Sanniang not be on guard when she saw the four people being defeated by the flying knives? In addition, Madam Zhu Rong did not seem to think much of Bao Sanniang, and her speed and strength were not very high. She was thrown out with just a light flick of the knife in Bao Sanniang's hand.

"You despicable villain, is it possible that people from the South China can only use such dirty tricks?"

Bao Sanniang easily blocked Madam Zhu Rong's casual flying knife and continued to curse, which made Madam Zhu Rong take it seriously.

"Little girl, you are so arrogant. Let me see if your hands are as tough as your mouth."

Seeing Bao Sanniang scolding herself and her brothers and sisters in Nanzhong, Madam Zhu Rong also became a little angry. She rode up on her horse, waving her spear and fighting with Bao Sanniang.

Although there were two female generals fighting, the swordplay between them was no less than that of ordinary military generals, and even more so.

In the end, Bao Sanniang was the better choice than Madam Zhu Rong, and she suppressed Madam Zhu Rong with her skillful swordsmanship. Although Madam Zhu Rong was also a skilled warrior, it was only relative. She might not even be able to defeat Zhang Yi in a head-on battle, let alone a warrior like Bao Sanniang or Guan Suo who was close to the first-class level.

"Why, old woman, your hands don't seem as good as your mouth?"

After discovering that Madam Zhurong's martial arts skills were not as good as hers, Bao Sanniang even had time to mock Madam Zhurong with the same words she had just used to mock her. Madam Zhurong was beaten so badly that she could only defend herself, so she could only grit her teeth, but she had no energy or time to fight back.

"drive!"

Seeing that she was no match for her opponent, Madam Zhu Rong repeated her old trick, fired another feint, and rode away on horseback. Although Bao Sanniang chased after her, she was always on guard against Madam Zhu Rong's flying knife.

"Go!"

Madam Zhu Rong suddenly threw a flying knife without even turning her head. The knife flew accurately towards Bao Sanniang's face. The speed and force were incomparable to the previous ones.

"Hey!" Seeing that she had no time to block with her weapon, Bao Sanniang quickly turned her head. The flying knife only scratched the standard leather helmet of the Han army that Bao Sanniang was wearing, allowing a few strands of her beautiful hair to appear.

Bao Sanniang realized that Madam Zhu Rong did not really want to kill the other three people just now, otherwise, with the level of the knife just now, Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi would definitely die, so Bao Sanniang simply reined in her horse and stopped chasing.

"The enemy appears to be retreating."

After Guan Suo changed to a good horse, he saw that not only the minions led by Madam Zhu Rong, but even the large force of the Nanman Army seemed to be retreating. This was important military intelligence.

Guan Suo asked the soldiers to carry Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong back to the camp, while he and Bao Sanniang went to see Guan Xing in person to report on today's battle situation.

"The Southern Barbarian Army retreated?"

Guan Xing was also a little surprised to hear the news. After all, the Han army's victory today was not even a small victory. The two sides were at most a draw. The Han army even had Zhang Yi and Ma Zhong injured by Madam Zhu Rong. No matter how you looked at it, they were at a disadvantage.

"An Guo, could it be because of the death of Jin Huan San Jie? I heard that Jin Huan San Jie was the best warrior in Nanzhong. Now that they have lost such a great general, it is understandable that they would shrink their defense line."

Zhang Bao, who was standing next to him, was more optimistic, thinking that it was due to his killing of Jinhuan Sanjie a few days ago. Although Guan Xing didn't think that was the case, he didn't want to spoil Zhang Bao's fun, so he just let it go.

"Brother, I am willing to be the vanguard and pursue the barbarian army for a while, to show the prestige of our Han army and boost its morale."

Guan Suo did not think about the reasons why the Southern Barbarian Army retreated. He only knew that if he took the opportunity to chase and kill the Barbarian Army for a while, he would definitely be able to achieve success, so he could not wait to ask Guan Xing for a fight.

"The enemy's retreat is orderly, which is irrational. We should not pursue them further..."

Guan Xing shook his head, not very interested in this suggestion. The Han army did not have much advantage at the moment, and it was probably not in line with military tactics to take risks rashly.

"An Guo, we are the attackers, not the defenders. Only the defenders believe that no mistakes are meritorious. If we want to defeat the Southern Barbarians, we must seize the opportunity. Besides, even if the Southern Barbarians have ambushes, what can we do? Can the Han army be afraid of these barbarians who can't even afford clothes?"

Zhang Bao disagreed and encouraged him. After all, Zhang Bao was not very calm, and now was not the original timeline. Zhang Bao was still the high-spirited and flamboyant young man. Now the so-called first warrior of Nanzhong was defeated by him, so it was understandable that he had some contempt for the people of Nanzhong.

"Brother, I will only lead 5,000 men to pursue. If we achieve success, it will be all your credit. If we make mistakes, it will be all my fault."

Seeing Zhang Bao speaking for him, Guan Suo begged even harder, making it difficult for Guan Xing to refuse his brother's request.

"How about this, Anguo? If you are worried, I will go with you. If we go together, we can look after each other and even if there are any strong enemies, we can deal with them. What do you think?"

Zhang Bao himself was also itching to kill more southern barbarians, so when he saw that Guan Xing was about to relent, he simply acted as a guarantor and asked himself and Guan Suo to go together so that the two of them could look after each other and at the same time satisfy his own wish.

"Okay, then Xingguo, you and Weizhi will lead 10,000 soldiers and go after the barbarians. Remember, if things become impossible, retreat. Our army only needs to advance steadily to defeat Meng Huo."

Guan Xing couldn't persuade the two of them, so he had to agree, but he still explained a few more things.
