In fact, even if Guo Jia did not explain Li Wenhou’s intention to Chen Gong, he could know that Li Wenhou’s target was Qinchuan City, but it was dark all around now, and it was not easy to find Li Wenhou’s army. 8 9  Of course, if Yang Tian was here, he could do it with his eagle-eyed eyes, but now Yang Tian is still transporting more than one million people rescued from Tianshui City.

Therefore, Chen Gong could only take the remaining nearly four million troops back and chase Qinchuan City. He did not search for a line, but went straight towards Qinchuan City. Although Li Wenhou's hundreds of thousands of troops would definitely leave some whereabouts, it would waste a lot of time to find them. In this case, they would not be able to catch up with each other. In the end, Li Wenhou could also escape to Qinchuan City. Why is it so troublesome?

The next morning, Li Wenhou had already led his army to more than 100 kilometers north of the battlefield, and only more than 200 kilometers away from Qinchuan City. According to the spies, the alien army that fought with him yesterday was still more than 50 kilometers behind him. At this time, Li Wenhou finally felt relieved.

Last night, because the imperial Yiren army bit too tightly, in order to escape smoothly, he only took away more than 600,000 ranks of six soldiers and seven thousand Western Liang cavalry under his command.

The escaped army was not all cavalry, and nearly half of them were infantry. However, because the average strength was much stronger than the Yiren army, he believed that the imperial army would not be able to catch up with him. By the evening, they would be able to successfully arrive at Qinchuan City. Then he would compete with the imperial army.

At this moment, a tight sound of hoofs came from a distance, the sound was light and agile. However, Li Wenhou, who was walking in front of the team, frowned. He was not good at passing the years now, so don’t encounter any more troubles!

If it was really an enemy, Li Wenhou knew that it was impossible for him and others to escape the other party's tracking. From the sound, it can be judged that the other party was full of cavalry, and there were still many infantry on his side, so it would be better to stand by on the spot. At the same time, he inferred from the sound of hooves that the other party's army was not large, and with his own strength, there was no need to be afraid.

Soon, an army rushed out from the east and appeared in his sight. Due to the distance, he could not judge the opponent's weapons, but it could be seen that this was a light cavalry, and the number was around 10,000.

Suddenly, Li Wenhou felt nervous. Could this be the army that the spy mentioned before to chase Bian Zhang? Could it be that General Zhendong's army had arrived here?

If you think about it carefully, it is possible. After all, it is impossible for him to escape to Qin Chuan from the eyes of the sun. But the other party's speed is indeed faster. In his estimate, even if the army in Baiyun City ignores the fire in the city, it will be four or five hours later than him. After all, the army he left behind is enough to drag them down for a while. Although he was delayed after encountering the imperial army with the imperial court, it was at night before, so it was impossible for the other party to catch up with so quickly, right?

In fact, he was really guessing that this army was indeed Yang Tian's Sunset Legion, but what he did not expect was that the Sunset Legion did not participate in the battle to attack Tianshui City, but was waiting outside the city. After Guo Jia expected that the other party would escape to Qinchuan, the Sunset Legion sent several people to guard several city gates from a distance. After the opponent's army all left, they followed closely behind. Due to the small number of people and the long tracking distance, Li Wenhou's army did not notice it at all.

Almost as soon as Li Wenhou's army left Tianshui City, the Sunset Army chased after him. They galloped side by side dozens of kilometers east of Li Wenhou's army. Due to the connection of snow pigeons, they didn't have to worry about losing the other party. Perhaps only Baiyun City is so luxurious, equip each legion with several extremely fast snow pigeons.

When Li Wenhou's army fought with the imperial army, the Sunset Legion was scattered around the battlefield, observing the changes on the battlefield from afar, while Li Wenhou's escape completely fell into the eyes of the Sunset Legion.

The matter afterwards was very simple. When Sun Miao, the commander of the Sunset Legion, reported the situation here to Guo Jia, Guo Jia immediately had a clue. Since the other party had only escaped more than 600,000 troops, it was impossible to create a huge contribution to Baiyun City. Therefore, Guo Jia immediately ordered Sun Miao to lead the army to follow the remnant army and designated a place to harass it.

It is indeed harassment, because just by 10,000 wildebeest archers and cavalry, it is tantamount to intercepting more than 600,000 troops. However, harassment war is the specialty of the Sunset Legion. With the perverted speed and flexibility of the Wilderness, although Li Wenhou's army is huge, it is unlikely to surround the Sunset Legion and annihilate it.

The purpose of harassment is very simple, that is, to delay the rebels' marching speed, so that Guo Jia, who was chasing behind, could lead his army to the front as soon as possible to intercept Li Wenhou's remaining troops.

In fact, the Sunset Legion was able to harass Li Wenhou's rebels last night, but in this way, this army would inevitably fall into the hands of the strange forces of the court. How could Guo Jia give up the credit he received to others?

...

When Li Wenhou saw the strange mount of this cavalry legion that was getting closer and closer, he had already confirmed in his heart that this legion was the Sunset Legion under General Zhendong.

The enemies were particularly jealous when they met. This sentence was the most suitable way to describe Li Wenhou’s current mood.

"The heavy shield soldiers are moving forward to defend, and the archers are ready to shoot. The cavalry surrounded from both wings and kept the other party for me!" Li Wenhou issued an order in an instant. The other party was a archer, and he didn't want to stand dead and act as a target for the other party. Escape was even the stupidest choice, and that would be hung behind the army and shot his soldiers one by one.

A huge roar broke out from the rebel camp, looking majestic. As the sounds came one after another, they had quickly adjusted their formation. On both sides of the army, more than 100,000 cavalry were waiting for the battle. As long as the opponent approached, they would immediately surround the opponent. The opponent was just a archer and cavalry, and once they were surrounded, they would never be able to jump around again.

However, to their surprise, when the Sunset Legion was only more than 300 meters away from their army's vanguard, it suddenly turned around and rushed north. It was so fast that all the rebels who saw this situation were amazed! It was not an exaggeration to compare it to an arrow from the string.

Li Wenhou's expression changed. He seemed to have guessed the strategy of the cavalry and immediately ordered: "Cabinets attack and intercept them in segments!"

Suddenly, the more than 100,000 cavalry in the north were immediately divided into three sections. They did not rush towards the Sunset Legion directly, but headed straight to the north. They knew Li Wenhou's orders very well. If they rushed forward, they would be led by the other party and would naturally be attacked by the other party. This would be possible to avoid this situation by intercepting it in several ways.

However, the Sunset Legion was not so easy to deal with. After these cavalry rushed out, these guys immediately turned around like loaches, and narrowly passed by the opponent's cavalry, and then turned to the west. At the speed of these wildebeests, it only took less than two minutes to move from the east to the west of the rebel camp. You should know that the rebels stretched from east to west from east to west.

Li Wenhou frowned tightly. He didn't expect that the mount of the Sunset Legion was so perverted. Its speed and flexibility were comparable to that of ordinary famous horses. It was very difficult to surround the opponent with these cavalry in front of him.

In the entire rebel army, there were only a large number of heavy shield soldiers in the west. At this moment, the Sunset Legion had already attacked the west. At that moment, they all took up the giant bows in their hands, and a rain of arrows fell to the rebels. At that moment, nearly a thousand rebels died under the arrows. While shooting, the speed of these wildebeest archers did not decrease at all. They turned around at the rebel army about two hundred meters and rushed north immediately.

At this time, they were unable to stay here, because when they approached the rebel formation, the cavalry on both wings had already surrounded this side. If they ran one step late, they would be completely likely to be dumplings by the other party.

The Sunset Legion is not greedy for merit. After shooting for a round, it immediately flees far away without leaving any chance for the enemy.

Looking at the archers and cavalrymen who were leaving, Li Wenhou was so angry that he knew that at the speed of those strange war horses, they would not be able to catch up with each other.

"Get up immediately and continue to march towards Qinchuan City." Li Wenhou said loudly almost roaring, as if he could not vent his anger apart from this method.

After receiving the order, a group of generals summoned their troops and continued to travel north. Only nearly a thousand corpses remained in place.

Although the Sunset Legion has gone far away, each rebel has a shadow in his heart. The reason is that the Sunset Legion is too weird. It can be as if it is in a state of no one when facing an army dozens of times stronger than itself. This is too terrifying.

Li Wenhou thought more and more, and because of this, his heart was heavier than other ordinary soldiers or generals. He understood that the journey of this day would probably not be as smooth as expected.

In fact, the casualties of the rebels in that small-scale conflict just now were just a drop in the bucket compared to the entire army, and had no effect on them at all. However, their harassment made the entire rebel army strand on the spot for more than ten minutes. This time is usually not a big deal, but in this form, more than ten minutes are likely to be fatal. And even if more than ten minutes are not enough, can the other party still do this again?
