Chapter 635 Chasing

Zhang Lun led 500 elite soldiers to the east, which should be close to Niulan Mountain seven or eight miles east of the campus. However, Zhang Lun considered that Xu Guangzuo's own camp was in the southeast direction, and the two armies left the same official road when they left, and they were likely to encounter them in the night.

Xu Guangzuo was so resourceful that he walked half an hour earlier than Zhang Lun's fighting camp when he set out, because Xu Guangzuo abandoned a lot of materials and went forward lightly, saving time for preparation, which was allowed by the rules. The start time of the three armies is unified, but the rest of materials and equipment is counted within the departure time. If you move quickly, you can go first, and if you move slowly, you will fall behind. Xu Guangzuo can abandon the tent, pots and stoves and other things, and then pull out with fried noodles and water on your back. Zhang Lun can't. Zhang Lun's leadership is characterized by everything ready, which is indispensable. Whether it is combat equipment or logistical support, Zhang Lun attaches great importance to it. This is the experience that his husband taught Zhang Lun when he was alive.

However, in this case, Zhang Lun had to be careful. Xu Guangzuo's personal guard camp set out in advance, and his fighting camp initially walked an official road, so it can't be ruled out that Xu Guangzuo will ambush in front and surprise himself. After thinking about it, Zhang Lun temporarily changed his course and pretended to march according to the original plan, but after leaving the campus, he immediately turned to the northeast for three hours and arrived at the Eagle Mountain Valley in the northeast to camp.

Zhang Lun doesn't think that Song Nan will let him go. In fact, the two have already agreed that they will not give in to each other this time. If there is a chance to attack Song Nan, Zhang Lun will not be soft. Walking in the northeast direction, there will undoubtedly be closer to Song Nan, and the two sides will have a greater chance of discovering each other. However, Zhang Lu firmly believes that Song Nan and Xu Guangzuo's move to temporarily change the route is in the dark, and they don't know their position at all.

After camping in the Eagle Mountain Valley, Zhang Lun decided to let the soldiers refresh themselves tonight. They are in the dark. Tomorrow, they will have a good opportunity to find out Song Nan's direction and give Song Nan a sudden attack. First, send this jumping brother-in-law out. Then turn around and compare with Xu Guangzuo to see who is more qualified to serve as the governor of the regiment camp.

After camping, Zhang Lun arranged sentries on the tops of the hills on the east and west sides and ordered all the rest of the soldiers to rest on the spot to relieve the fatigue of the march.

In the dark night, the cold dew of late autumn slowly filled the world, and the temperature suddenly cooled down. The soldiers curled up in tents covered with thin blankets and trembled coldly. Many soldiers woke up from the cold. That's why they were able to avoid the destruction of the whole army.

The footsteps at the mouth of the valley are absolutely inaudible when they are asleep. In the sound of the wind in the middle of the night and the sound of weeds blown by the wind, the deliberately light footsteps are well hidden. But in the state of sobriety, the sound of nature and the sound made by people were very different. When several soldiers who woke up from the cold looked out when they heard these strange sounds, they saw a large group of voices running with blades in the dim light of the bonfire.

"Enemy attack...!" A soldier reacted quickly and shouted at the top of his voice, like a wolf howling in the valley, and the whole camp immediately boiled.

The commander of the Fenwu battalion, who was responsible for night patrol, reacted with Wang Qing as soon as possible and organized a defense during the tea time. The Fenwu battalion was worthy of the Fenwu battalion. It was not chaotic in the face of danger and was not shocked. After a moment of panic at the beginning, it quickly stabilized its position. Dozens of soldiers near the edge of the southern camp were killed and out. After that, the formation was quickly reduced to the internal defense line; with a small soil slope as a defensive stronghold, it began to counterattack against the incoming enemy.

When Zhang Lun arrived neatly, the situation had been controlled. Wang Qing had fought back with 70 or 80 archers behind the small slope, and the soldiers and horses on both sides of the camp had also contracted back and were ready to fight intensively.

"Who is the person opposite?" Zhang Lun lay on the wet grass slope and looked south. A feather arrow broke through the air. Zhang Lun reacted quickly and split the blade horizontally, split the feather arrow, reached out and grabbed it on the torch and looked carefully. He saw the black paint on the cloth wrapped in the arrow. He was stunned and said, "It's Song Nan who moves so fast."

Wang Qing reported: "It is indeed the soldiers and horses of the Shenshu Camp. Our sentry was touched. They entered the sneak attack from the mouth of the valley. We have been ruled out of 43 brothers. They came too fast and deserve to die. They didn't notice it."

Zhang Lun nodded and said, "You have done a good job. Forty-three out is already a small loss. If they unconsciously touch the camp, the fighting camp will be out. In this situation, they can't do it, and we still have the strength to fight."

A bonfire was lit a hundred steps below the dirt slope. In the fire, hundreds of Shenshu battalion soldiers stood behind the bonfire. Isn't the man who is currently fully armed and not burly?

Song Nan ordered his men to stop archery, and stepped forward two steps and shouted with a smile, "Grandfather, all right."

Zhang Lun rolled his eyes and shouted, "I haven't been here for a few hours. What did you say that you are all good?"

Song Nan laughed and said, "Brother, surrender. You have been surrounded. Surrender and go home quickly. Don't hold on."

Zhang Lun smiled and counterattacked, "You are talking about lies. What do you have to surround me with only 500 people? Instead, I occupy the power of the land. I'm afraid there's nothing you can do. Why don't you try to attack? I only lost more than 40 people, which doesn't matter at all.

Song Nan shouted, "Losing one is also a loss. I'm 500 full, and you only have more than 400. Do I have an advantage in the fight? But that's what you said. You have a good location, and it's really difficult for me to win if I can't make a sneak attack. It's hard to say that I won't take this risk.

"It's good that you know. You're not stupid. If you and I can't reduce 60% of the number of personnel, no one will be out, so that we won't get a chance to replenish our troops. Xu Guangzuo will laugh."

Song Nan smiled and said, "That's right, then I'll take someone away, so don't chase me for trouble; I'm leaving, uncle, you don't have to see me off."

Zhang Lun shouted, "I'm not far away."

Song Nan really disappeared into the darkness behind the bonfire with the soldiers and horses of the Shenshu camp. At first, there were still footsteps to be heard. Soon after, there was only the sound of the wind blowing the weeds and the sound of the bonfire.

"They retreated in the face of difficulties. Master Zhang, should we leave here immediately? Since we have been found by Song Nan, the news of our engagement tonight will be sent back to the camp. Xu Guangzuo will definitely know our position. If his soldiers and horses get closer here, won't we be surrounded by both sides? The position is the most unfavorable to us. Wang Qing analyzed.

Zhang Lun nodded slowly and looked at the sky and said, "There is still more than an hour before dawn. We should be able to walk away, but we don't go out of the mouth of the valley. We must go out of the mountain behind. I'm afraid it will be hard for brothers."

Wang Qing said, "Why can't you get out of the valley? The soldiers and horses of Marquis Song have been withdrawn. We only need to withdraw from the valley after a meal. Then we simply go south and go straight to the campus to find a place to cat first.

Zhang Lun laughed and said, "You still don't know my brother-in-law. He has reduced me more than 40 people and has an advantage. How can he easily withdraw? Although there are not many more than 40 people, our total is only 500, which is nearly a part of the strength. Naturally, he has nothing to do when we stay on the slope. Once he goes down to the mouth of the valley, he will cover up and come, and we will be out.

Wang Qing was stunned and said, "Isn't it so cunning, isn't it? Didn't he say goodbye solemnly?"

Zhang Lun laughed and said, "General Wang, other people have seven orifices in their hearts, and Song Nan has nine orifices in their hearts. If you don't have a good heart for him, it will be too late to regret it. If he doesn't set an ambush at the mouth of the valley and go back, I'll treat you to a big drink for three days. If others don't know him, don't I know him? I ordered the whole army to hide and climb over the hillside behind to get out of the trap.

As Wang Qing agreed, he was a little suspicious, so he quietly ordered the two soldiers to go to Gukou to investigate. The two soldiers did not see any return until the army climbed over the top of the back mountain. Only then did Wang Qing believe that Song Nan was indeed waiting for the rabbit at Gukou.

The early morning sun fell on the mountains, and the mountains in the late autumn in the north were bleak. At the mouth of the Eagle Valley, the soldiers of the Shenshu Camp were still asleep. When the two soldiers of the fighting camp who explored the way were solved last night, Song Nan knew that the ambush plan had failed. Zhang Lun was really careful enough that he would not leave the valley.

So Song Nan simply ordered the soldiers and horses to camp on the spot to rest and make up for sleep. He knew that Zhang Lun was so careful that it was absolutely impossible to take the initiative to attack the camp.

After breakfast, Song Nan climbed up the left hillside to look into the valley. The sun shone in the valley, and the traces of the soldiers and horses in the valley were all in a mess.

"If the lord expected, Grandpa Zhang turned over the mountain overnight, but it was decisive." Xu Tai squeaked his lips.

Song Nan smiled and said, "My brother-in-law is not a straw bag. He made the most appropriate choice. After taking a rest, he did not lose much strength."

"Yes, the little father-in-law is much more mature. Compared with other children, the little father-in-law obviously beats them too much. That year, I saw it in the Battle of Xinping Fort. Jiang Bin said with admiration.

Song Nan laughed and said, "This is more fun. I think Xu Guangzuo, an old man, is on his way to the north, and the three soldiers and horses are also turning left in this Eagle Mountain. Sooner or later, it will be a matter of fighting."

"Your Excellency, let's just go to find Xu Guangzuo's bad luck. He goes north, and we go south to find him. If we meet him, we will kill him." Jiang Bin shouted.

"That won't work. Xu Guangzuo must be trying to take advantage of it. Even if he leads the army, his whereabouts must be mysterious. Instead of catching cats with him, why don't we aim at Fenwu Camp? The little father-in-law thought he had seen through my plan and played a golden cicada last night. In fact, I wanted him to do this. You think, his soldiers and horses didn't sleep last night and retreated across the mountains, and now they must be exhausted. We bite them and toss them for another three or two days, and my brother-in-law can only go home.

"Ah? It turns out that the adult is still thinking of Grandpa Zhang. Jiang Bin and Xu Tai felt a little unbearable.

Song Nan said with his hands, "My God's camp must get the first place in this big competition, and no one can take it away from me."
