The Liaodong Army was defeated. The Northwest Army pursued it day and night according to Chu Huan's wishes, and killed countless Liaodong soldiers along the way.

Under the escort of a few cavalry, Kou Ying rushed out of the Northwest Army's siege. Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he didn't even plan to enter Daoma City. On the way, he wanted to collect the remaining troops, but unfortunately, the Northwest Cavalry who followed him did not give such an opportunity at all.

After a fierce showdown, there was a one-sided pursuit battle. Under the pursuit of the Northwest Army, the Liaodong Army, which had no fighting spirit and lost cohesion, was vulnerable to the Northwest Army even if the individual combat capability still existed.

In fact, compared with the decisive battle of Huangling, the deaths and injuries caused by the pursuit battle were even more severe.

In the battle of Huangling, although the Liaodong Army was defeated, only three or four thousand people were killed or injured on the battlefield. On the contrary, after the defeat, they were chased along the way. The Liaodong Army was killed or seven thousand people, but more of them had fled in scattered and saved their lives.

For most soldiers in Liaodong, retreating to Yanshan would get rid of the crisis. Before that, no one was willing to surrender easily. The surrender only accounted for a very small proportion, but only about a thousand people. The Northwest Army disarmed the surrendered soldiers and sent a small number of soldiers to escort the Liaodong prisoners.

Kou Ying kept running and even ran a horse to death on the way. Fortunately, his loyal subordinates still gave him the horse. After running for three days and three nights, he finally saw the outline of Yanshan in the distance.

As Yanshan approached, more and more defeated soldiers became. In fact, after passing Daoma City, the Northwest Army's pursuit slowed down.

Kou Ying gathered the remaining soldiers retreating near Yanshan, but the total number was only three or four thousand. Mo Wuyi left him 25,000 soldiers and horses. Xu Chang was trapped in Huangling and burned mountains. Qi Sheng's whereabouts were unknown. Most of the remaining 15,000 cavalrymen were separated by life and death. Seeing the thousands of soldiers and horses retreating in disgrace, Kou Ying was really crying without tears.

This is the capital accumulated by Chi Lian Die for many years, and it is also the famous trump card of the Liaodong Army, but after just one battle, it was almost ruined by itself.

He knew very well that although the retreating thousands of soldiers were still the same person, his heart was no longer the same heart.

This defeat was an unprecedented defeat encountered by the Liaodong Army. Not to mention the countless elite cavalry killed in the battle, the most fatal one was the psychological blow to the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army was originally an iron army that was invincible. Whether facing the barbarians, the Koreans, the Qingtian bandits, or even the Qin army, they had always been invincible. Even when the Battle of Yanshan was in extremely difficult situations, they were still fighting to the death and finally broke through Yanshan. The tenacious morale accumulated from countless hard battles before was originally the invisible wealth of the Liaodong Army, but in the battle of Huangling, the resilience and confidence accumulated before were severely destroyed.

To have strong confidence and resilience, it requires the accumulation of countless wars, but to destroy these, it only takes a battle like this one.

Kou Ying knew very well that after this battle, the Liaodong Army had lost the capital to fight for dominance.

The battle with the Qin army in Yanshan consumed the main force of the Liaodong infantry and seriously consumed the vitality of Liaodong. This time, the Liaodong cavalry suffered a fatal blow, and Liaodong is now at a trough that has never been seen before.

"General, drink some water!" A general next to him sent a water bag. Kou Ying's lips had already cracked. He took the water bag. Before he could drink water, a commotion suddenly appeared in front of him. Then several people came hurriedly. When Kou Ying saw the man in the first place, he threw the water bag back to the person beside him, and went forward and asked, "Eighteenth brother, what's the situation?"

The eighteenth brother looked over fifty years old, with a serious face. He looked around. At this time, a group of defeated soldiers were staring at the eighteenth brother. The eighteenth brother hesitated for a while before saying, "The general gave an order, let's rest here for a while. The roads on the mountain are blocked and are speeding up the clearance. Once it is clear, they will immediately open the checkpoint and let us go up the mountain."

"How long will it take?" someone asked anxiously immediately.

"Don't worry, it won't be too long." The Eighteenth brother smiled reluctantly, "Everyone also knows that it hasn't been long since the army evacuated Damacheng. It has a lot of baggage and is very slow. Let's wait a little longer." He waved his hand and said, "Everyone should rest. After entering the mountain, we will have to hurry up and take advantage of the time to restore our energy."

Although everyone was disappointed when they waited, they thought that they could go up the mountain when the road was open, so they would not be desperate.

After everyone dispersed, Kou Yingcai slowly walked to a stone beside him and sat down. The Eighteenth brother followed. Kou Ying glanced at the Eighteenth brother and sneered, "Are they not going to let us go up the mountain?"

The eighteenth brother hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mo Wuyi means, second brother, you underestimate the enemy and advance, which leads to this miserable defeat. His crime is unforgivable. He said there are only two roads to choose. The first road, everyone else can go up the mountain, but the second brother, you can't go up the mountain, so that you can apologize to the soldiers in public. On the second road, second brother, go up the mountain first to see him!"

"See him alone?" Kou Ying clenched his fists and sneered: "Will you bump your head into the knife when you go to see him alone?"

"This is the reason." The eighteenth brother sighed: "But Mo Wuyi has blocked several passages in Yanshan. Without his consent, we would never be able to enter the mountain."

"If we can't pass Yanshan, we will take a detour from Hebei." Kou Ying sneered: "I don't believe I can't go back to Liaodong."

The eighteenth brother's lips moved slightly, but he wanted to speak but stopped and did not speak.

"What do you want to say?" Kou Ying frowned.

The eighteenth brother hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and said, "Second brother, things are more troubled than I imagined."

"Oh?" Kou Ying's face was slightly darker: "What happened?"

"Your family!"

"What?" Kou Ying suddenly stood up: "Does Mo Wuyi dare to attack my family? Although I don't deal with him, I have not yet reached the point where life and death are incompatible. How dare he harm his family?"

"Second brother, don't worry, your family is not seriously injured for the time being." The eighteenth brother said, "But he said that if the second brother dare not meet him and apologize in person, he can apologize in front of the soldiers. As long as the second brother does this, he will not make things difficult for your family as a brother for many years, and will send someone to send your family here."

"What crime did he ask me to thank? Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. If you lose a battle, you have to apologize in public?" Kou Ying heard that his family was safe, he felt relieved and snorted coldly.

"It's not only that." The eighteenth brother sighed: "He asked you to admit it in public, and you have the intention of holding troops to usurp power and plotting against others. You also asked you to admit it to the soldiers that for your own selfish desires, you will spare the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers!"

"Shut up!" Kou Ying shouted sternly.

The eighteenth brother hurriedly stopped his mouth. Kou Ying's face was already loose and his pupils dilated, his fists were clenched, and he looked extremely ferocious, and the anger in his eyes was also hard to hide.

"He wants to completely destroy me." Kou Ying said angrily: "I will never let him succeed."

The eighteenth brother sighed and said, "Second brother, if you don't agree, we can't go up the mountain and go back to Liaodong. It is impossible for you to take a detour from Hebei. Once we enter Hebei, we are afraid that before we leave Hebei, we will be defeated by the soldiers of the Qingtian King!" He smiled bitterly: "Even if we really break through Hebei, when we arrive in Liaodong, Liaodong is already in his hands, how can we fight against him?"

"He had already made plans." Kou Ying clenched his fists and said, "I'm afraid he had planned this from the beginning. No matter whether we win or lose, he was ready to block Yanshan and block our way back to Liaodong!" His expression became fierce: "Mo Wuyi, it's indeed cruel and ruthless."

The eighteenth brother looked at Kou Ying, then glanced at the groups of Liaodong soldiers in three or five times, and lowered his voice: "Second brother, what should we do next? Before the cold winter passed, all our food and supplies were gone. Not to mention food, even if we set up a tent to block the wind and cold. Many brothers had eaten the dry food they carried, and they could only fill their hunger with snow. Moreover, people in the northwest would not know when they would kill us, let's!"

Kou Ying stared at his eighteenth brother and sneered: "Do you want me to apologize in public or see him as Mo Wuyi's wishes? In this way, you can all go up the mountain to return home?"

The eighteenth brother frowned and said, "Second brother, if I have this intention, there is no need to come back after going up the mountain. If I want to pass the barrier and enter the mountain, they will not stop it. But since I chose to follow my second brother, I have never thought of betraying you!"

Kou Ying looked a little guilty, raised his hand and patted his eighteenth brother's shoulder, and smiled bitterly: "Brothers die and die, and Xu Chang and the others are uncertain about their lives and deaths, don't take them to heart."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eighteenth brother had not spoken yet, but heard a sound of horse hooves coming from the west. At this time, many Liaodong soldiers were already frightened birds. When they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the west, they immediately thought that it was the northwestern people catching up with them. Not the person had already drawn his sword and was about to make a last try. At that time, someone else was shouting: "It's our own people, ours!"

Kou Ying was already looking west at this time, a team of cavalry was coming with about one or two hundred people. He vaguely heard someone asking loudly: "Where is General Kou? Where is General Kou?"

Someone pointed at Kou Ying. The cavalry came closer. There was still a distance, but there were crowded Liaodong soldiers in the middle blocking the road. The group of people could only stop the horse. The few people in front turned over and dismounted. One of them glanced at this side for a few times. Seeing Kou Ying's figure, he hurried to this side. But Kou Ying had already recognized it, but the person coming was Qi Sheng.

Seeing Qi Sheng, Kou Ying was angry and picked up the whip to meet him. Qi Sheng was a few steps away and knelt on the ground. But Kou Ying had already waved the whip and beat him down. Qi Sheng did not dodge, but burst into tears. Kou Ying ignored it and whipped more than a dozen whips. Qi Sheng's skin was blooming, and even two whip marks appeared on his face.

"You said, where did you go with five thousand men?" Kou Ying was furious, thinking that if Qi Sheng had not suddenly disappeared with the five thousand cavalry, Huangling would not have been defeated so badly. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he would have been whipped, "Where are they now?"

Although he was furious, he was not confused. Although he wanted to kill Qi Sheng with a knife, he also hoped to bring the five thousand men back.

If the five thousand men returned safely, plus the remaining troops here, there would be nearly 10,000 people in their hands. Even if they could not pass Yanshan, they could lead tens of thousands of men and women to break into Hebei and take a detour. The Liaodong Iron Cavalry is not the opponent of the Northwest Army, but there is still hope that tens of thousands of Iron Cavalry will fight a bloody road from Hebei.

Qi Sheng knelt on the ground, and in front of everyone, he cried with a sad face: "Second brother, kill me, I am a bastard, I am I, I have ruined all the five thousand men, I deserve to die!"

Qi Sheng was over 50 years old. The 50-year-old knelt in front of Kou Ying and cried loudly. It looked very funny, but the blood stains on his body were not funny.

When Kou Ying heard that all five thousand people were killed, he felt dizzy and his body shook. If Shiba hadn't been holding him by his side, he would have almost fallen.
