Kill! The Tiger Guards slashed furiously with their sabers, blood splattered everywhere, and the Dongchuan Army suffered many casualties.

The Dongchuan Army was also angry, and the armored troops, which were several times more numerous, pressed on the Tiger Guards one after another.

The sharp offensive of the Tiger Guards was reversed, and many Tiger Guards actually turned around and retreated.

As a result, the fierce surprise attack and sharp attack turned into a rout.

Pang Yu was startled when he saw it, and suddenly he pointed out: "Sir, the enemy's flag is swaying and tilting. Is there internal strife?"

Huh? Pang Yu looked far away and saw that the enemy's flag was being raised, but the soldiers behind the flag were retreating in a hurry.

Then, all the attacking enemy troops turned around and fled, leaving only hundreds of casualties.

"Sir, the incoming force is only five thousand at most, not ten thousand." The general beside him reminded Pang Yu.

Pang Yu looked at the retreating enemy troops with a hesitant expression. At this time, his troops were already chasing them, and he hesitated whether he should return to join the main army.

"Sir, the main army is in trouble. The regiment is in panic during training. The commanding officer orders you to return to the army to support." A herald said urgently, panting.

Pang Yu's expression changed at this, and after thinking for a moment, he shouted decisively: "The enemy is retreating, let's pursue them."

"Sir, the commander asked you to return to the army to support." The herald was shocked and stopped.

Pang Yu waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to convey the military order, and then explained to the messenger: "It's too late. Since the regiment training collapsed, the morale of the Luzhou Army must be as high as a rainbow.

If I return for reinforcements, I will be devoured when I arrive. What’s more, as soon as I return to the army, the sneak attack force here will also counterattack.

Now we can only pursue and kill according to the trend, firstly, it is possible to save the defeat, and secondly, there is a way to retreat. You go tell the commander to withdraw from Hezhou, and I will hunt down the military envoy of southern Sichuan."

The messenger was speechless, so he had to go back to deliver the message with military courtesy. Pang Yu sent his army to pursue Wei Fufeng's army.

...

Wei Fufeng ran on horseback, followed by fifty Tiger Guards, and behind him were other military forces.

Due to pre-war mobilization, almost all of the retreating troops followed Wei Fufeng's direction.

Thousands of troops fled in confusion, followed by thousands of Dongchuan troops in hot pursuit. A stick of incense passed by and entered a shallow valley.

Wei Fufeng rushed into the shallow valley first. There was a stream in the valley, and the terrain was overgrown with weeds, but there were few rocks.

Wei Fufeng looked around on his horse. He had already entered the ambush area to see if the enemy would pursue him.

However, he was also a little worried. If Lu Qing rebelled, he would suffer the backlash if he gave the order.

After running for three miles in fear, he finally heard the sound of war drums. He reined in his horse and looked back, seeing troops appearing on the mountain tops on both sides of the shallow valley, and the troops were launching downwards.

A dozen tiger guards caught up with Wei Fufeng, all of them panting.

Wei Fufeng looked ashamed. It turned out that he was frightened and subconsciously speeded up his horse. As a result, the Tiger Guards who were accompanying him fell hundreds of meters behind.

"Send the order, prepare to fight back." Wei Fufeng gave the order shamelessly to cover up his embarrassment. The tiger guards responded, and some ran back to pass the order.

...

Because Pang Yu started late, he fell behind. He could not abandon his guards and chase on horseback alone, so he could only watch the front army pursue.

I just hope that I can catch the Southern Sichuan Jiedushi, even if I catch a commander, I can offset some of the scandal.

When he rode into the rolling hills, Pang Yu's face suddenly changed, and he rushed forward with his horse, shouting: "Retreat, stop the pursuit."

Upon hearing this, the Dongchuan Army, mainly the regiment training troops, stopped and looked back, but most of the Dongchuan Army pursued into Qiangu.

Shallow valleys are common in hilly areas. It is normal for enemy troops to be defeated and flee into shallow valleys.

But Pang Yu noticed something was wrong. The enemy troops were too concentrated in their retreat. He looked at the chaotic flight, but he followed the commander all the way.

The so-called defeated army basically marches in all directions, just to get rid of the pursuing troops.

Boom boom boom!

The sound of war drums filled the mountains and fields, followed by the shouts of killing and screams. A large number of Dongchuan regiment training troops fled from Qiangu, some with arrows on their bodies.

Pang Yu's face was livid, he gritted his teeth and stood on his horse, staring at the enemy figure appearing on the top of the shallow valley.

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded: "The rider on the horse should be an official, very good."

Pang Yu turned around in surprise and saw thousands of enemy troops gathering around the shallow valley.

Among the dozens of people closest to him, there was a burly man, wearing bright light armor, like a door god, looking at him with a big stick in his hand.

"This is the military commander Wang Dahu. Those of you who are willing to surrender can live, and those who are not willing to speak out." Wang Dahu waved the big iron rod and made a loud sound when it hit the ground.

Most of the hundreds of people surrounded were in regiment training and were the first to respond by throwing down their weapons and surrendering. The remaining dozens of Yajun led by Pang Yu had no choice but to surrender to save their lives.

The fighting in Qiangu continued. Although the Dongchuan Army who was ambushed in the valley was ambushed, because it was Qiangu, they quickly launched a strong attack on both sides.

Wei Fufeng's army, which fled into the valley, killed the returning carbine troops and attacked the Dongchuan army.

The capture of Pang Yu, Marquis of Yu of the Chinese Army, caused the fighting in the shallow valley to calm down, and a herald came into the valley to convey the order to surrender.

This is the case in battles between vassal towns. Defeat and surrender are common.

After all, the Tang Empire still existed, and the relationship between Jiedu envoys and their subordinates was that of superior officials and inferior officials. They would not want to betray unless they were concerned about kindness.

Therefore, the governor of the feudal town was very willing to accept an adopted son, but if he only took advantage of his nature, he would not be able to gain loyalty.

Wang Jian is the adopted son of the great eunuch Tian Lingzi. Now he has turned rogue and is attacking Tian Lingzi, the eunuch of Chengdu.

...

The fighting in the shallow valley subsided, and the prisoners were disarmed and stripped of their armor.

In this pursuit, more than 2,000 of the 8,000 Dongchuan troops died, most of them killed in shallow valleys, which was brutal.

More than 5,000 prisoners of the Dongchuan Army were divided into ten groups and held at a distance. They were all told that if they did not want to join the Southern Sichuan Festival, they would be released.

Wei Fufeng did not participate in the counterattack. He climbed to a hillside outside the battlefield to watch the battle. Seeing that the prisoners were separated and guarded, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then waited for the battle report from Dazu County.

It would be good to win in Dazu County, but if he lost, he would have no choice but to run away with Xiaoxue.

However, the probability of victory should be 70%. After all, 8,000 Dongchuan troops were captured.

While waiting for a message, a tiger guard alerted Wei Fufeng that the military envoy Zhou He was coming.

Wei Fufeng turned his head and looked to the left, and sure enough he saw dozens of soldiers walking along the mountainside. Zhou He was at the front, and there were soldiers behind him carrying a sliding pole, with Xiaoxue sitting in the sliding pole.

Zhou He stopped outside the Huben Guards, turned around and ordered the rod to be put down.

Xiaoxue stood up from the sliding pole and thanked Zhou He, then walked into the Tiger Guard and walked up to Wei Fufeng.

Wei Fufeng looked at Xiaoxue with a slight smile. Xiaoxue looked back with soft eyes and whispered: "Sir."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said gently: "The battlefield is cruel, so you should be scared."

"I'm afraid, I hope you're safe." Xiaoxue whispered with a low eyebrow.

Wei Fufeng hummed lightly, and Xiaoxue raised her eyes again and whispered: "Sir, Master Zhou has a military secret to report."

Wei Fufeng was slightly startled, and turned to look at Zhou He. He saw Zhou He standing with his left hand holding a waist knife, his expression obviously serious, as if he had something important on his mind.

"Xiaoxue, go and rest far away. Don't look here." Wei Fufeng looked at it for a few breaths and whispered to a tiger guard.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Hand, the tiger guard, respectfully accompanied Xiaoxue and left for a distance.

"You listen to the order. When Zhou He comes in, kill him." Wei Fufeng whispered to the four tiger guards nearby.

The Tiger Guards were startled, and then nodded silently. Wei Fufeng waved his hand, and one of the Tiger Guards sent a message to Zhou He to come in.

Zhou He stepped into the Huben Guards' defense area and approached Wei Fufeng's location step by step on the uneven mountain.

Seeing that he was only three meters away from Wei Fufeng, Wei Fufeng, who looked calm, suddenly turned around and walked away.

Zhou He was startled when he was walking. Suddenly, four tiger guards drew their swords and pounced on him. He was shocked and drew his sword to resist.

Dang-dang! The sound of gold and iron clashed harshly, followed by a muffled groan, and three long knives pierced Zhou He's vitals.

Zhou He's eyes widened and he stared angrily at Wei Fufeng's back. Suddenly Wei Fufeng stopped and turned back, with a cold and sinister face.

Ah! The surrounding Tiger Guards were in panic, drawing their swords and staring inwards.

The dozens of soldiers who followed Zhou He were also in panic. Seven soldiers turned around and ran away, while the remaining thirty soldiers were at a loss.

"Southern Guard, hunt down the deserters." Wei Fufeng's voice was cold and stern. Immediately, more than ten tiger guards obeyed the order and rushed to hunt down the seven deserters.

Wei Fufeng turned to face Zhou He, who was five meters away, and said coldly: "You did not die unjustly. Our army knows that your brother sent you a letter, ordering you to assassinate our army."

"You?" Zhou He spit out one word and died.

"This army recognizes your contribution and will not punish your family members." Wei Fufeng said coldly.

After the cold words, Wei Fufeng raised his head and said loudly: "In the battle in Dazu County, the Dongchuan Army was defeated and the Southern Sichuan Jiedu Army won. Everyone, follow our army to Changzhou to celebrate."

"Ho! Ho! Ho!" The Tiger Guards raised their fists and shouted.

Wei Fufeng waved his hand to stop the roar and ordered: "Let the fire grower outside come in."

After the order was passed, three fire chiefs came in and greeted them respectfully. Wei Fufeng said calmly: "Zhou He's matter has nothing to do with you."

"Thank you, sir." The three fire chiefs paid a respectful military salute.
