General Shun on the top of the mountain faced two choices at this time. One was to send someone back to report to Liu Jiwu. The top of the mountain was taken, but the enemy also escaped. Ask for instructions whether to continue chasing;

The second choice is to send troops to chase the army first, and at the same time let people report to Liu Jiwu.

If Liu Shuai orders not to pursue, then chase the pursuers back.

Which one to choose?

General Shun chose the second option without much thought.

Before a cup of tea, the enemy was still shooting arrows at his soldiers on the top of the mountain, and now they want to run after fighting?

Think beautifully!

"Chase!"

"Be careful not to be ambushed, they can't run far!"

In fact, General Shun didn't think that the pursuers he sent out would be ambushed.

Because he felt that Gan Jun had no time to prepare for an ambush.

There were not many Shun troops chasing down from the top of the mountain, only more than 500 people.

Their purpose is to hunt down and kill the army, not to wipe out the army, as long as they can entangle them, at least they must severely injure the enemy.

It wasn't that General Shun didn't want to send more pursuers, he only had a thousand men under his command, and it was impossible for them all to catch up.

Chasing at night is a very dangerous thing, the more troops there are, the greater the danger.

Even if there is no enemy ambush, marching at night may cause a lot of casualties.

The mountain road was rugged, and five hundred people formed a long line on the winding mountain road.

"Sure enough, I caught up!"

The company commander Ganjun guessed that Shunjun would catch up, because if it was him, he would definitely catch up.

Shun Jiang has no reason not to chase after him!

Although he had long thought that Shun Jun would catch up, he didn't have time to make more preparations.

They could only use the terrain and the cover of the night to jump out occasionally to harass Shunjun.

Shun Jun who was harassed was not only not angry, but rather happy.

"The army didn't run far, don't worry about the fleas in the woods, hurry up and catch up with the army in front!"

So the company commander Shenwuwei found that they were actually ignored by the Shun army.

"Heh! This is trying to catch up with the battalion commander and the others? But you shouldn't ignore my existence!"

The company commander was a little angry.

The anger that gradually burned turned into waves of physical strength filling the whole body.

Even if I'm exhausted, I have to bite off a few of your bones!

"Brothers, this Shunjun pursuer didn't treat us as human beings, and dared to ignore us. Can we let them pass easily?"

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

"Then show me your best form. I don't care what method you use. If you can kill a Shunjun, kill one, and if you can hurt one, give me one. Anyway, it's just a word, no one is allowed to return empty-handed! "

"yes."

How scary is the Angry Shenbuwei Warrior?

The soldiers of the Shun Army on the mountain road can give the answer, it's scary!

Very scary!

The company commander Shenwuwei ordered his soldiers to shoot all the arrows before going down the mountain. Now the soldiers have no arrows to shoot cold arrows in the dark.

But it doesn't matter, whoever said that cold arrows have to use bows and arrows, as long as they are pointed, they can be used as cold arrows.

Fifty Shenwuwei soldiers hid in the woods on both sides of the several miles long mountain road, and jumped out from time to time to attack the Shun army.

Some succeeded in killing, and some failed and escaped.

But with the cover of night, no one died at the hands of Shun Jun.

Killing a follower is a relief, but killing a follower is a bigger blow to the follower.

The dry army took away even the comrades who died in battle. Are they going to abandon the wounded?

no!

If you really want to do this, the army will lose its morale.

Lieutenant Shun Jun could only give the order with a solemn expression, and brought along the wounded soldiers to chase after him.

This order was not wrong, but it made the Shun army under his command step into the abyss step by step.

The Shenwuwei soldiers led by the company commander broke out their last physical strength, causing a lot of casualties to the Shun army, which effectively hit the morale of the Shun army.

But they soon ran out of strength.

"Company commander, the brothers are dying, really, they can't run anymore."

The company commander was also out of breath at this time, "Huh...huh...it's okay, the task assigned by the battalion commander has been completed, we can withdraw."

Although they could withdraw, they actually fell behind the Shun army.

In the past, Shunjun was chasing them, but now they are following Shunjun, what a world!

The company commander looked at the Shun Army who formed a fire dragon in the darkness ahead, and felt sympathy for them in his heart.

"You all suffered heavy casualties when you met us, yet you still dare to catch up. Those scout teams are even more difficult than us!"

Professional things are left to professionals, and the scout team is the most professional person who arranges traps in Shenwuwei.

The company commander led fifty soldiers and exhausted all his strength and only killed less than a hundred Shunjun soldiers, which did not meet his expectations at all.

But this can't be helped, his soldiers have run out of strength, and being able to kill so many enemies is their last burst.

The 500 Shun army suffered less than 100 casualties, nearly 20% of the casualties did not cause the Shun army to be defeated, and it was still at night, so this Shun army could be called elite.

A general army will collapse if its casualties exceed 30%, and 20% is already a very dangerous number.

But the Shun army not only did not collapse at this time, but also brought wounded soldiers that affected morale, and they were going to continue to pursue!

The army that Liu Jiwu has been holding in his hands is really extraordinary.

Although the company commander admires Shunjun's tenacity, he doesn't think they can escape from the scout squad.

The entire army may be wiped out.

No matter how tough the Shun Army was, it was impossible for them to suffer 50% or 60% of the casualties. After they collapsed, they would not be the opponent of the scout team.

The development of the matter is exactly as the company commander expected.

The unbelieving commander of the Shun Army did not return to the top of the mountain, nor did he wait for support from the top of the mountain, and continued to pursue the retreating Xiao Tianhang alone.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Shun Army team was also very dignified~lightnovelpub.net~ The wounded soldiers in the team were trying to keep quiet as much as possible, but the severe pain still made some wounded soldiers groan non-stop.

The groaning of a wounded soldier is more disturbing than the death of three soldiers.

That's why there are many armies that only take away the wounded when they are victorious.

It had been a while since they had been attacked by Gan Jun, but this did not make Shun Jun soldiers feel relaxed.

The dullness of the coming storm weighed on everyone's hearts, making them dare not speak out easily.

This will not work, and you will be crushed before you meet the enemy.

"Captain, or else we should go back to the top of the mountain first, the wounded soldiers may not last long."

Lieutenant Shunjun looked at the dark mountain road in front of him, feeling very unwilling.

If the enemy's main force fails to catch up, our own side will suffer heavy losses. After returning, the general will definitely be left with an impression of incompetence.

well!

After thinking for a while, he decided to send fifty people to protect the wounded soldiers, and the other soldiers continued to follow him for a certain distance.

At least the general can't let the general think that I was chased back by the small group of enemies responsible for breaking the rear without chasing too far.

For a quarter of an hour, chase for another quarter of an hour, and then I will retreat!

Lieutenant Shun Jun led 360 Shun soldiers and continued to pursue Xiao Tianhang.

They didn't know that they had stepped into the battlefield prepared by Wu Gang for them.

Whoever catches up is for whom.

Still the classic cold arrows, ground thorns, stones, wooden stakes, and vines, only walked more than a hundred meters forward, and the Shun army lost more than 70 soldiers.

Some soldiers chased into the woods next to the mountain road, but never came out again, as if swallowed by darkness.

Lieutenant Shun Jun felt a little regretful, if only he had gone back to the top of the mountain with the wounded soldier just now!

It's just that there is no medicine for regret in the world, you have to accept the result of whatever choice you make!
