"Retreat." No matter how unwilling Zhong Shidao was, he could only choose to retreat. An excellent commander must learn to stop losses.

Continuing to fight to the death without brain will only lose more people. Although he still has many tiger guards now, it is not omnipotent to grow tiger guards on the battlefield.

Only Wang Jin and himself were left here.

Compared with the enemy, experts are very difficult to organize strong resistance when facing the advance of enemy generals, and the area where the tiger guards can defend is limited.

It’s not that he has few masters, but that there are too many masters under Fang Mu.

Under normal circumstances, which army can find so many Qi-refining God-turning and first-class generals? As long as these people go independently, they can form several armies.

If Fang Mu had fewer powerful generals under his command, he could defeat Fang Mujun with his Tiger Guard and Ambush.

The imperial army retreated strategically with Zhong Shidao as the core.

Under the cover of Zhonghu Guard, the Zhong family army fought and retreated.

Seeing the situation changing, Yue Fei hurried forward to watch the enemy's retreating formation and found that the military flag was a little crooked, his steps were messy, and some even abandoned their weapons.

After confirming that it was not an ambush, but a real retreat, Yue Fei immediately ordered Zhang Ren to change from defense to active attack, and at the same time, he ordered Fang Mu to attack with the main force.

Blowing down the water dog is something that all soldiers like to do.

Because this means picking up credit, killing the fleeing enemy is a safer thing.

And the heads taken at this time are also calculated to the credit.

I heard that I was going to chase the enemy, but my morale, which was originally a little depressed, immediately increased a lot, and I rushed out with a howling sound.

Fang Mu did not stop this.

The pursuit process between the two armies then lasted for a full three hours.

Not only Zhong Shidaojun was tired and tired, but Fang Mujun was also so tired that he had no strength.

The middle of the journey, Zhong Shidao suddenly led his army back to fight, and sometimes he set up an ambush trap in the middle.

Yue Fei suffered a lot of losses in the pursuit of Master Zhong at the beginning. Compared with an old fried dough stick like Master Zhong, Yue Fei is still too young.

But Yue Fei's learning speed was very fast, and he quickly learned the experience of Zhong Shidao by copying the lesson, and fought with Zhong Shidao in the following battle.

Zhong Shidao noticed that the person who fought with him later learned very quickly, and his experience went from being unfamiliar to being proficient at the beginning.

The traps he set are becoming increasingly difficult to succeed.

"If you really want to kill them all, you will never be able to do it." Zhong Shidao frowned.

Then he ordered the soldiers to abandon the excess useless materials and leave only some dry food on their bodies to continue to retreat.

On the battlefield, the two armies were fighting against one side, which was actually a signal.

We have lost our supplies and we have lost our supplies. We will give you a way out.

Otherwise, it would be a desperate situation.

Generally speaking, unless there is an irreconcilable hatred or the strategic need to be driven out, an army will generally not force another army to a dead end.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be nice to chase and kill the defeated soldiers? Or destroy the enemy and then attack the city and land, slowly erode the enemy with water milling techniques, constantly weaken the enemy and grow stronger. Finally, after the enemy is weak and weak, then swallow the enemy with one rush.

This is the decision that most commanders will make.

What they pursue is not to kill them all, but how to maximize their interests.

When an army is trapped in the Jedi, it will explode its final struggle like a trapped beast. In this case, it is unwise to fight head-on.

"Master."

Seeing the supplies all over the ground, Yue Fei looked at Fang Mu for advice.

Although Fang Mu gave him the privilege of commanding this battle, I still have to ask my senior brother about this critical matter.

"How many people are left in the enemy?" Fang Mu asked.

"There are about 20,000 people."

"There are 20,000 left." Fang Mu thought, "If the enemy army traps beasts and fight to the death, how much price we will have to pay to take them."

"The other armies are fine, mainly because the elite tiger division under Zhong Shidao was too strong, and we have no elite force that can match it.

We paid the price of more than 4,000 people in the battle just now, and the tiger army of Zhong Shidao left less than a thousand corpses. This was still the case with the major generals of our army taking action." Yue Fei said, "If we really want to fight to the death, our army will probably lose at least 30,000 people."

Nearly 20,000 people were ambushed and killed by him, but now there are more than 40,000 troops left. If he fights to the death, even if he takes down his army, his own army will be almost destroyed.

Then wouldn’t I work for Wang Qing in a blank worker?

What is this yourself?

Wang Qing's best ally, a solid ally of the Southwest Rebels, and a sucker for self-sacrificing oneself.

When Wang Qing learned about it, he was afraid that his teeth would almost laugh. Fang Mu killed him and helped him to destroy the imperial army, and he was seriously injured.

Fang Mu also forbidden his scalp to be numb, mainly because he did not expect that the elite tiger army with military spirit would be so difficult to chew.

If it weren't for this elite tiger division with only military souls, he would have defeated Master Zhong's way.

Little did I know that Master Zhong thought so too. If Fang Mu didn't have so many powerful generals, he would have defeated Fang Mu.

Fang Mu thought of the purpose of this trip in silence, waved his hand: "Forget it, spare his life."

The main reason is that Fang Mu suddenly thought of the talent of Master Zhong.

When attacking the enemy, sometimes it is not the outside but the inside that defeats the enemy.

Fang Mu said to Yue Fei: "No need, let the soldiers clean the battlefield."

Seeing that the pursuers behind him did not follow him again, Zhong Shidao also breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that he didn't catch up."

Zhong Shidao was also betting that he bet Fang Mu would not use his army to fight to the death with him, because the southwest is not his Fang La territory, and he would not get much benefit if he killed himself. Instead, he would only get better than Wang Qing.

Yang Zhi found by Fang Mu, "You will take dozens of people back to Jiangnan later, and then find someone to spread rumors in Kaifeng Prefecture, saying that Zhong Shidao defeated Wang Qing and set up an ambush to defeat Fang La's army. Now everyone in the west of the New Song Dynasty praised Zhong Shidao as the prince of Zhong."

He wanted Zhao Huan to be suspicious of Master Zhong.

There is no need to remove the position of Zhong Shidao. As long as Zhao Huan is suspicious of him, he will send someone to supervise the Fang Mu to achieve his goal.

"Yes." Yang Zhi obeyed the order immediately.

The basic command of Master Zhong is 106, and his talent is 6 commands + 112.

If the level of commander is the same as that of martial arts, then above 110 should be another level.

As long as he can destroy the talent effect of Shidao Zong, his command level will be reduced to a greater level, so that his growth in the army may not be that great, and he remembers that Shidao Zong's talent for striking voice is a double-edged sword.

[Secret voice: When Zhong Shidao has absolute control of the army, he adds 6 points of command, and when he does not have absolute control, he adds 2 points of command.]

When he does not have absolute control, he will instead be in command of 2 points, so the command of Zhong Shidao will be reduced to 104.
