Xiao Tianhang didn't have much time to think, and the two thousand Shunjun troops were catching up all the way.

He didn't move, but Shunjun didn't stop.

In the end, Xiao Tianhang decided to take a step back.

Taking a step back doesn't have to be a big deal, but it can certainly buy you some time.

The dry army takes a little time to prepare.

"Go forward another thirty miles."

"Battalion Commander, Sanchakou is thirty miles away."

That's right, Sanchakou is thirty miles away. After passing Sanchakou, the Shun army's retreat path will be smooth.

If there were no Xiao Tianhang and Wu Gang, Liu Jiwu would just find a way to get in, and Gan Jun would have to spend at least ten times more energy to find him.

In fact, Xiao Tianhang and Wu Gang have already done very well.

Not only did they find the position of Liu Jiwu's main force, but they also delayed them for a day.

The time of the day is very important, Shen Quan has already brought the imperial guards into the mountain.

According to the current speed, they will be able to catch up with Xiao Tianhang tonight.

Without Xiao Tianhang's interception, Shen Quan could only catch up with Liu Jiwu tonight, and he would have no chance of running ahead of Shunjun.

It's different now, not only can he overtake Shunjun, but he can go around in a big circle and overtake without knowing it.

Xiao Tianhang's choice was also very wise.

Because he ordered the retreat and bought himself half a day.

In the evening, Xiao Tianhang stopped, "The terrain here is good, it's very similar to the place where we fought yesterday, so this is it."

"Arm!"

There are less than 400 people in Xiao Tianhang's department and the scout team led by Wu Gang.

Most of the soldiers are injured, and one day is not enough for them to recuperate.

"Brother, this time we can't make waves, and the brothers can't handle it again!"

Wu Gang was going to investigate in a while, and before leaving, he found Xiao Tianhang to talk about the second block.

"I've sent a message to the other teams that they will be able to find us by tomorrow morning at the latest.

Then we can play another chapter! "

If we can't fight a frontal attack, we will fight a guerrilla.

Wu Gang is very confident in the combat methods he is good at.

Xiao Tianhang nodded, he did not reject guerrilla warfare.

The lord has defeated many enemies by relying on this method of warfare from the very beginning.

Until now, what Yang Yuan is good at is guerrilla warfare.

Yang Yuan attaches great importance to intelligence, and his soldiers are also elite, who are suitable for fighting in various terrains, and are suitable for guerrilla warfare.

You can see far, run fast, and don't have to worry about lack of food and grass supplies.

Who can swim past me?

It's just that once Xiao Tianhang got out of the way and cooperated with Wu Gang to fight guerrilla warfare, if Liu Jiwu made up his mind and was willing to suffer casualties, he could completely abandon some soldiers and retreat directly.

As long as he reaches the city in the south of Nanhu County, Xiao Tianhang can only watch Shunjun escape.

That's why he insisted on blocking the Shun army head-on.

His persistence has paid off.

When he was building fortifications to continue blocking the Shun army, Shen Quan arrived.

To be precise, Shen Quan's messengers have arrived.

"Commander Xiao, good news! Great news!"

Xiao Tianhang looked at Wu Gang who was running towards him excitedly, a little surprised.

"What good news makes you so excited? The commander's reinforcements have arrived?"

Wu Gang laughed loudly, "Haha... the commander-in-chief's reinforcements haven't arrived, but the king's reinforcements have arrived!"

"ah?"

Xiao Tianhang was taken aback by Wu Gang's words, Your Majesty's reinforcements!

Could it be that the king personally led the troops here?

The cavalry troops in the Shenwu Guard were able to support Xiao Tianhang in time.

He estimated that the commander-in-chief would not send cavalry to support them. It is normal for cavalry to go deep behind the enemy to support them, but it is not normal to go deep behind the enemy and enter the mountains to support them.

Leaving the cavalry on the plains can play a greater role and gain more results.

But it would be different if he had the support of the king. Let alone the fact that the king can summon more soldiers and horses at any time, the king can mobilize more troops than Zhao Shuai.

So when Xiao Tianhang heard that the King's support had arrived, he immediately thought of the King's presence.

Because Yang Yuan liked doing such things very much before.

If there was no strong dissuasion from Shen Quan, Zhao Long and others, Yang Yuan really wanted to come here in person.

Pity!

Wu Gang: "It's not the king who came in person, but General Shen Quan who came with the imperial guards."

Xiao Tianhang was a little disappointed to hear that it wasn't Yang Yuan who came in person, but he became excited again after hearing about Shen Quan and the imperial guard camp.

"Great, with the support of General Shen and the Guards, we can definitely delay the Shun army for more time. By then, Zhao Shuai will block all three roads for him. Let me see where Liu Jiwu is going this time!"

Guard camp!

Although there are only 500 people like his battalion, the fighting power is definitely stronger than the three of them.

Otherwise, the ministers in the court, many generals, and the royal family would not be so relieved that Yang Yuan would just run around with a battalion of imperial guards!

With the imperial guard battalion, even if you encounter a Shun army with a scale of 10,000 people, you don't have to worry about safety.

Xiao Tianhang immediately went to meet Shen Quan with Wu Gang.

The Shun army is still some distance away from their ambush, so there is plenty of time.

Each of Shen Quan and the Guards Battalion rode mighty and sturdy imperial war horses. These war horses could not only travel thousands of miles a day, but also run in complex terrain.

Mountainous areas, water swamps, sandy land...

Xiao Tianhang was drooling when he saw the imperial war horses sitting on the Imperial Guard Battalion. If his soldiers and horses also had imperial war horses, they wouldn't need too many, a hundred would be enough!

If there were a hundred imperial war horses, this blocking battle would be fought more smoothly.

Xiao Tianhang can block Liu Jiwu before he enters Huangfengkou~lightnovelpub.net~ At least he can delay him for another day!

It's a pity that he didn't have an imperial horse, and he couldn't stop Liu Jiwu before he entered Huangfengkou.

It's not too late now, the Guards Battalion is here!

After seeing Xiao Tianhang and Wu Gang, Shen Quan praised their battlefield sensitivity and speed of action, and then immediately put into preparations to block Shun's army.

Shen Quan is different from Xiao Tianhang, the Imperial Guard Battalion is stronger, and his battle plan is also bolder.

"Leave your defensive fortifications in advance. If you attack you head-on at the top of the mountain, you will suffer a lot of casualties, and you will not be able to take advantage of the guard battalion."

The Praetorians are versatile, but with the Imperial horses they sit on, cavalry combat makes them even more effective.

Shen Quan: "When I just came here, I passed a valley. You go to the sides of the valley and set up ambush circles. When the Shun army enters the valley, I will charge with the imperial guards. Once the Shun army is dispersed, they will not dare to cross easily. The valley."

If Yang Yuan came here in person, the goal of the battle would definitely be to defeat or even annihilate the Shun Army, but Shen Quan was different, he only needed to hold the Shun Army for a few days.

With the strength of the Imperial Guard Battalion, it would definitely be no problem to defeat the Shun Army head-on.

Although Xiao Tianhang suffered a relatively large loss, it is still no problem to hold the favorable terrain.

Xiao Tianhang did not question Shen Quan's decision, and acted immediately after hearing the order.

"Stop, don't repair the fortifications, come with me!"

The soldiers from Xiao Tianhang's department didn't ask where they were going, anyway, they went wherever the tents went.

After reaching the valley selected by Shen Quan, Xiao Tianhang gave the order to stop.

"Occupy the hills on both sides, pay attention to concealment!"

The soldiers immediately ran from the hillside to the top of the hill, finding a place to hide their bodies.

Xiao Tianhang's work has been done, and Shen Quan can do the rest.
