Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 316: 3 Remove 1

As soon as it got dark, the three groups of people surrounding the border army camp began to arrange their soldiers and took loudspeakers to shout and publicize.

After just a few shouts, he discovered something unusual about the border military camp.

It turned out that when they were shouting outside, there were always soldiers with guns sticking their heads out from the fence of the border army camp, staring at them.

This time is different from the past, I see it through the blurry light and shadow.

The fence of the border army camp was empty, without a single figure.

A soldier immediately reported back.

Li Donglai was the most impatient person. After hearing the report, he immediately organized an attack team and approached the border army camp with shields.

When they arrived at the trench of the main camp, there was still no movement in the camp opposite.

Li Donglai waved his hand and said, "Go over and take a look."

Some soldiers immediately dropped ropes and began to cross the trench.

Not long after, some soldiers crawled to the other side, holding shields, and slowly approached the camp fence.

After approaching the camp fence, he found a gap and looked inside.

"Report, General, there's no one left inside!"

The soldiers began to shout.

Li Donglai immediately ordered his soldiers to go forward and cut the ropes of the suspension bridge.

As soon as the drawbridge fell, Li Donglai led his men to the camp gate.

They hooked the camp gate with a rope and several war horses pulled it down with force.

The Qingshui soldiers rushed in and broke into the border army camp.

The camp was already empty and silent.

After Li Donglai's team rushed into the camp gate, less than a quarter of an hour later, the other two teams also rushed in from the other two camp gates.

Li Donglai, Hu Jincai and Zhang Changyou met in the camp.

"They all ran away, what should we do?"

Zhang Changyou stared at Hu Jincai and asked.

Because Old Hu has the most creative ideas.

Li Donglai shouted without waiting for Hu Jincai to speak.

"Whatever you do, chase it."

Hu Jincai pondered for a moment and waved his hand.

"Looking at the situation, the border troops are trying to bypass Weiyuan and enter the heart of Zhenxi. Let's split our forces into two groups. I'll lead my men back to Weiyuan to intercept them. This is a straight line, and we're faster than them. You guys follow them closely, gather up any escapees, and don't chase too hard."

Li Donglai was puzzled: "Why? It would be better to chase and beat them."

Zhang Changyou laughed and said, "That's not necessary. They'll scatter as they run. It's dark, so we just need to capture them."

The other two applauded.

The three of them quickly finished their discussion and returned to their respective teams.

Li Donglai and Zhang Changyou, with their own teams, left the North Camp and chased after them.

Hu Jincai ordered 10,000 troops to pass through Bin County and return to Weiyuan.

At the same time, a battle report was immediately sent to the Lingdouzi Castle Command.

When Lin Feng received the battle report, a smile appeared on his face.

This is exactly my strategic intention.

Surrounding the camp on three sides and leaving one side behind meant forcing Cui Yong to leave the camp and give up the plan of holding out.

Hu Jincai and the other three guys also handled the follow-up correctly.

Lin Feng had long set his eyes on the location of this border army camp. Not only was it well located, but it had also been built over a long period of time and was very sturdy and durable, so it had to be preserved.

After gathering the border troops, a part of them will still need to be stationed here.

Song Yi's strategy was undoubtedly correct, but he didn't expect that when it got completely dark.

The long line of soldiers began to slowly decrease.

The army, which was less than 40,000 in number, was stretched so long that the officers of each unit were unable to take care of the marching status of the entire army.

This gave the soldiers ample opportunity to escape.

As they advanced, the units began to lose personnel rapidly.

In the main camp, there was a fence blocking the front.

In such a wilderness, there is no shelter at all.

It was pitch black all around, and the soldiers could get further and further away from the main team by simply leaving the team and choosing any direction.

There is no need to worry about anyone chasing you.

Those officers were all terrified and didn't know what their future would be.

Who cares about the life and death of his soldiers?

Song Yi led the team in the front, with cavalry leading the way.

After walking all night, they found a wide and flat place and ordered to set up camp and rest.

Song Yi was more careful and ordered the generals of each unit to start counting the number of people.

However, after waiting for a long time, no subordinates came to report.

Just as he was frowning in confusion, he saw Kong Jin and Li Yu, both with gloomy faces, riding their horses towards him.

"General Song, the situation is not good."

“Did you lose a lot?”

Song Yi also knew that as long as they left the camp, the loss of soldiers was inevitable.

Kong Jin sighed and said, "It's not a few, it's a lot."

"How much is a lot? Could you please tell me quickly?"

Song Yi was very impatient.

Kong Jin didn't care about Song Yi's attitude and said in a trance.

"Of my ten thousand men, one-third have already been killed."

Song Yi suddenly took a breath of cold air.

so much?

I knew the army's morale was broken, but I didn't expect it to be so complete.

There is no need to ask, the situation is definitely not much better than that of Kong Jin and the others.

The three of them remained silent and turned to look into the wilderness.

The vast grassland, blown by the wind, is just like the mood of the three people now, empty, desolate and aimless.

Li Yu muttered to himself.

"I never thought that the border troops would be forced to such an extent by a guy who is still wet behind the ears. Is he a devil?"

Kong Jin's body trembled.

"He is indeed a devilish character."

Song Yi ignored the sighs of the two people. He was only concerned about how to lead the team out.

"If we continue like this, I'm afraid the team will be scattered before we even get around Weiyuan."

Kong Jin had led troops for many years, but faced with such a situation, he was helpless.

"What about that?"

Li Yu spoke first.

"Should we give them some military pay?"

"late."

Song Yi sighed dejectedly.

The three of them were worried here, and Cui Yong was even more discouraged and didn't care about the team at all.

He held a wine jug in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, staring blankly ahead.

Cui Ying served carefully by the side, feeling sorry for his father who was so worried.

I hated Lin Feng more and more for being so ruthless and ungrateful.

How could this guy be so cruel?

Is it made of stone?

The troops had not rested for half an hour when scouts came to report that the Qingshui Army behind them was within fifty miles.

Song Yi hurriedly called on all the troops to set off and continue their rapid march eastward.

The team was too long, with both cavalry and infantry.

In the middle, there were seventy or eighty horse-drawn carriages following slowly.

It was carrying food, supplies, and the property of officers from various units.

Such a team could not move fast at all. The dirt road was uneven and carriages were often stuck in pits and unable to move forward.

Song Yi had no choice but to order two battalions to be separated from the rear of the team to block the Qingshui Legion on the spot.

Li Donglai was not chasing very fast, but he could see some scattered soldiers from the border army in the distance.

Further ahead, there were groups of border cavalry deployed in battle formation on the road ahead.

"Hey, you're not running anymore?"

He turned his head and looked behind him, and saw Zhang Changyou's five thousand troops following not far away.

"The third and fourth cavalry battalions, charge forward and defeat them."

At Li Donglai's command, a thousand cavalrymen rode out on horseback.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, they rushed to the position where the border troops were blocking them.

The general leading the team shouted loudly: "Everyone, charge!"

The war horses began to accelerate, and the rumbling sound of their hooves was drowned in the billowing smoke and dust.

Faced with the astonishing momentum of the Qingshui cavalry, the border troops responsible for intercepting the pursuers, and the soldiers standing in the front began to retreat.

The commander stood at the rear, shouting, "Spearmen, advance, archers, line up and fire! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

As he shouted, he waved the long sword in his hand and looked nervously at the war cavalry that was getting closer and closer.

“Shoot, shoot…”
