The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 770

Because Gai Meng's cavalry did not march very fast, it was a little difficult to catch up with Yu Jin's troops that had already set off.Therefore, it took Gai Meng's cavalry a whole day to finally catch up with Yu Jin's troops.

At this time, the two troops of Sha Moke and Zhang Bao also set off to chase after Gai Meng and Yu Jin.

At the same time, Gai Meng's low-speed march did indeed provide a little convenience for Liu Chan's messengers, who easily caught up with Gai Meng's cavalry when they approached Yu Jin's army.

After Gai Meng read Liu Chan's latest order, his heart moved, and he felt that Shizi's handling method was completely ineffective for the surviving He Qi's troops, as well as the Han Dang troops who had been entangled by Fan Zong's troops and could not escape. It's a killer move to draw salary from the bottom of the pot.

Because at this time, after a series of battles between the armies of both sides, two of the three troops under He Qi's command were wiped out, and the ones that were maimed were his own troops, who had completely lost all the territory in the central and southern parts of Jiangxia County. .Such a consequence also means that the passages from the south of Jiangxia County to Yangzhou: in fact, the passages through Luo Xiaoshan where He Qi's men and horses raided Gai Meng's three armies, have now been completely blocked by the Shu Han army.

The Yangtze River waterway to the north of Jiangxia was originally a more feasible retreat channel.But the bad thing is that the entire Yangtze River waterway is now under the control of Zong Yu and Zhou Cheng's naval forces.It is also possible for them personally to find a small boat to escape there. If a large army retreats, it will require a large number of ships to load, which is an impossible task.

Then, He Qi's troops may have even fled into Shuanghuan in Jiangxia City in a hurry, and their last escape route is now only the way down to the city.Once the lower city was captured by the Shu Han army, He Qi's troops would be like catching a turtle in a urn.At that time, the decision whether the Shu Han army will encircle and annihilate it or surrender it will no longer be on He Qi's side.

Therefore, after reading the letter, Gai Meng couldn't help showing a brilliant smile on his face, and he praised the prince's open mind in his heart.When everyone is now focusing on Jiangxia City, he has already seen the most fatal weakness of He Qi's army!
Therefore, Gai Meng immediately left his own cavalry team and entrusted it to Xiong Ping to take care of it temporarily. He himself hurriedly found Yu Jin and handed over the son's documents to Yu Jin.

After Yu Jin looked at it, the gleam in his tiger eyes suddenly became bright, which showed that his heart suddenly became excited.

Yu Jin immediately praised Gai Meng: "Your Majesty, this method is amazing! If General Gai's men can take down the city before He Qi's men arrive, all of He Qi's men will be in our army's den!"

Seeing that Yu Jin was in line with what he thought, Gai Meng also smiled.He bowed his hands to Yu Jin and said: "In this case, General Yu, I will go back immediately and take my cavalry to the northeast, and attack at the fastest speed. We must catch up with He Qi's men and horses." ahead."

Yu Jin waved his hand, and although there was no smile to speak of, his expression was still very calm, and he said, "General Gai, you don't have to be so impatient. Don't say that your cavalry can surpass He Qi's army, but that it is mentioned in the prince's order Yes, He Qi's men still have two destinations to choose from: one is Jiangxia City, and the other is the lower city. Since the camp is closed by our army, He Qi's army can only flee lightly, otherwise they will be killed. My troops caught up. So now that Jiangxia City is close in front of us, He Qi will probably rest there or get supplies. But the lower city is far away, and He Qiming will definitely not want to go there hungry."

A famous general is a famous general, and the perspective of seeing things can always give people an amazing feeling.Gai Meng immediately expressed his admiration and asked, "If this is the case, what should the general do now?"

Yu Jin said quite resolutely: "Stop the army immediately, and rest in place for a day."

Gai Meng wondered: "General Yu, is this really possible?"

"Of course it is possible. After continuous battles, your cavalry team has consumed a lot of horsepower and the physical strength of the soldiers. If you don't take a rest, I'm afraid it will not be easy to complete the journey to the lower city. Moreover, no It's just that you need to rest, and I plan to rest my army in place for a day or two."

This time Ge Meng felt even more strange, and said in surprise: "It seems understandable for Yu Jin to rest the cavalry of the last general, but why should the troops under General Yu have to rest in place, and it still takes a day or two? Then pursue What about the mission of He Qi's troops?"

Yu Jin suddenly smiled and said: "General Gai, I am chasing He Qi's army very fast at this time, and they are going to run fast. If I stop to rest, of course their marching speed can be slowed down. Even , They are still taking advantage of this gap to leisurely prepare for battle or supply supplies in Jiangxia County. They have time again, which is equivalent to buying time for us, so why not do it?"

Gai Meng couldn't help but let out a long cry, knowing that Yu Jin was doing this to cooperate with the actions of his cavalry.He couldn't help sighing: "The last general understands, General Yu is really a master!"

Therefore, the matter of the two armies resting in place was decided.

He Qi was leading the army to flee towards Jiangxia City at this time, he really was in a hurry like a bereaved dog.

At this time, He Qi has long since lost the luxurious demeanor he used to have, probably because of traveling all night, a lot of bloodshot eyes have appeared in his eyes.

In fact, even his face is now covered with dust, and the luxurious silk robe on his body has also become dirty.In addition, the armor that was hastily put on to protect his personal safety when escaping outside the robe was now crooked, and He Qi, who had always lived extravagantly, had long since disappeared.

Of course, it is impossible for He Qi to be surrounded by no one. His eldest son He Da has been closely following him, and his younger brother He Jing is in the middle of the army at this time, obviously controlling the retreat of the army one by one. order.

Soon, He Da received the news sent by the scout team, saying that Yu Jin's men and horses who had been following and chasing him suddenly stopped chasing, and seemed to have begun to rest in place.

He Da was overjoyed. After all, after being chased all night, everyone was tired and hungry, almost on the verge of exhaustion. The sudden refusal of the Yujin army just gave them a break.

Therefore, after He Da got the news, he didn't think much about it, and immediately reported it to He Qi.

After He Qi listened to He Da's report, a suspicious look appeared on his face.He knew a little about Jin. After all, Yu Jin was too famous, so it was hard to believe that someone like Yu Jin would stop fighting and let them go.Maybe there may be some kind of conspiracy hidden in it.

He Qi didn't dare to make a judgment on this, he suffered enough losses from Yu Jin's body quickly and enough, it was too much for him and Shuang Huan to bear.
