After only one day, the Shun Army couldn't keep up with the Grim Department's speed, and watched the Divine Guard disappear from them.

Of course the scouts could still keep up, but they didn't dare to get too close. The guard scouts wouldn't let them get too close.

The scouts of the Shun Army had already fought against the scouts of the Divine Guard Army, the result?

fiasco!

Without exception.

The more times the Shunjun scouts understood, how far they could hide when they saw the guard scouts.

Two days later, the first Shun army to see the grim situation completely lost their traces.

But even without looking at them, he knew that the strict department must have gone to the county.

Looking at the traces left by the guards, Shun Jun could only sigh: "Aren't those rebels eating, drinking, or resting? Animals!"

They weren't the only Shun army to encounter the Grim Ministry.

The closer the Grim Ministry was to the county, the more Shun troops they encountered, and several battles took place.

Not all the generals of the Shun Army did not want to fight against the Grim Ministry.

The rebel army was so arrogant that five thousand people dared to enter the hinterland of the county.

If this allows you to reach outside the county intact, where will we put our faces?

Shame!

Even though Wu Xiong ordered them to withdraw to the county town, he also said that if they encounter rebel entanglements, they can respond immediately and withdraw to the county town when the time is right.

What is rebel entanglement?

Does it count to meet the pursuit of the rebels in the wild?

Definitely count!

Eighty miles to the north of Cheng'an County, Yan Yan had just finished a battle.

"Stop chasing, clean up the battlefield, prepare to rest, and we will continue on our way in a while."

Today is already the fourth day since Yan Yan came out, and tomorrow is the last day he promised Gong Yi to reach the county.

At this time, he was still eighty miles away from the county seat. If there was no harassment from the Shun army, one day would be enough for him to rush to the county seat.

But now the surrounding Shun army is eyeing him, and he doesn't know when a battle will break out, so he is not sure whether he will be able to reach outside the county tomorrow.

If it doesn't work, I can only rush on the road overnight again.

Since the battle with the Shun Army, the Grim Department has resumed its normal routine.

 …

Yang Yuan camped in a mountain depression less than twenty miles west of the county town.

At this time, a guard scout was standing in front of Yang Yuan and reported to him, "My lord, General Yan has arrived fifty miles north of Cheng'an County, and is fighting with a Shun army."

Generally, the detection range of the scouts of the guards is 30 miles around the target. This time they attacked the county, Ma Teng asked them to grasp the information within 50 miles outside the county.

It was normal for Yan Yan and Shun Jun to be found fighting.

"How many people are there in the Shun Army?"

Yang Yuan is very interested in the Shun Army who still dare to come out to fight.

It's a pity that these interests quickly disappeared after hearing the scout's answer.

"Only three thousand people."

No matter how great the interest is, it's useless if there are no people!

"Send someone to deal with the severity."

Yang Yuan said to Li Ye on the side.

Li Ye nodded, turned and left.

At this time, there are at least 150,000 Shunjun troops in the city of Cheng'an County. If they really plan to attack Yan Yan, it is really possible to severely damage Yan Yan's department.

The gap in quality can be made up in quantity.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

But as long as Yang Yuan keeps an eye on Cheng'an County, the Grim Department will not be in danger.

Every move of the Shun Army is monitored by the Divine Guard, and it is very difficult to dispatch troops that can severely injure or even wipe out the Grim Army.

Very difficult!

The most important thing is Ma Teng and Li Ye's 8,000 cavalry (5,000 regular cavalry, 3,000 mounted infantry).

With these 8,000 soldiers and horses, if the Shun army wanted to go out of the city to fight, they would be courting death.

Gu came out more, and Ma Teng could play a tug-of-war with them, and the kite-flying tactics of the guard cavalry were very skillful.

Fewer came out, not enough for the guards to kill.

This is also the conclusion reached by the Shun Army in Cheng'an County with the lives of many scouts.

They already knew that the Divine Guard in the west of the city was an elite cavalry with a very strong fighting force.

The Shun army in the city still has a cavalry, but only 3,000.

Not only in terms of combat power, but also in terms of numbers, how to fight?

The general of the cavalry of the Shun army knew that his soldiers and horses were definitely no match for the cavalry of the rebel army after seeing the divine guard cavalry in battle from the city wall.

So he has always refused to go out of the city to fight.

Even though it was Wu Xiong who ordered it.

He will not leave the city with his cavalry unless his head is removed now.

It is also impossible for Wu Xiong to kill him directly, so he can only let the cavalry stand by at any time in the city.

Four hours later, Yang Yuan saw the scouts from the serious department.

Yang Yuan: "The battle is over?"

The scout replied respectfully: "It ended three hours ago. General Yan can reach the county in an hour."

Yang Yuan: "Tell him not to approach Cheng'an County City directly. There is a military camp thirty miles northwest of the county town, which can accommodate his 5,000 soldiers and horses. You ask him to lead people to occupy the military camp."

Scout: "Yes."

Yang Yuan went on to say: "After occupying the military stronghold, don't rush to attack the county city, cut off the road connecting the county city in the north, and intercept and kill the Shun army who retreated from the front line."

"clear."

"Well, go and have a good rest for a while, eat something, don't rush for a while."

Seeing that the scout's face was full of exhaustion, Yang Yuan asked him to rest before going back to report.

His order has actually been sent out, and the eagle's speed is still faster than riding a horse.

The orderly is just a layer of insurance.

Yang Yuan knew very well that even with severe conditions, his troops would not be able to breach the county town~lightnovelpub.net~ Unless the will of the Shun army in the city collapsed, even if the guards blew up the city walls, they would not be able to break through the county town.

Shun Jun could build another city wall with just a dead body.

So the final decisive battle still has to be fought by the main force led by Gong Yi.

Yang Yuan, Ma Teng and the others could only help Gong Yi fight the outpost and make some preparations in advance.

For example, weakening the strength of the Shun Army of Cheng'an County to prevent them from evacuating early...

As the Shun Army abandoned the cities in the counties of Cheng'an County, the road to the south was actually opened to the Divine Guard Army.

If Yang Yuan is willing, he can give up attacking Cheng'an County City and go directly south.

But leaving a volcano behind is a very dangerous thing to do.

It's better to extinguish it first!

Only in this way can the guards go south with more peace of mind.

As the Shenwei Army's control over the northern counties of Shun State became stronger and stronger, it became easier for Yang Yuan to find a way to go south.

Now it just happened to hit Cheng'an County, so let's finish the battle here!

Thirty miles northwest of Cheng'an County, Yan Yan led his troops to the Bingzhai Yang Yuan said.

This village is called Qingfeng Village, the owner of the military village is called Zhu Rong, he is good at wielding a tiger head saber, his face is ferocious, he looks like a bandit leader even a school lieutenant.

I heard that when there is no war in normal times, they will also make guest appearances in other identities.

So it's not a bad idea to call Zhu Rong a master.

There are only 2,000 people in the military village at this time, which is not the peak period.

However, the mountain where Qingfeng Village is located is extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if an ordinary army is ten times larger than them, it cannot easily break through.

Is the God's Guard an ordinary army?

Not to mention the various eaves and walls, but climbing a cliff is quite simple.

Five hundred soldiers of the Divine Guard climbed to the top of the cliff from the back mountain, and flanked the guards in front of them on both sides. After more than an hour, Qingfengzhai changed hands!
