Huangfu Song first thought of cavalry of Youzhou, and ordered him to cavalry of Youzhou's camp. He knew that once Zhang Bao escaped, he would need to rely on the imperial government's army to chase him. It would be difficult to annihilate xanthopanax, and cavalry of Youzhou would be able to utilize their strengths to pursue him for a long distance.
”Everyone, gather urgently. Prepare to chase after xanthopanax.”
Only then did Huangfu Song order for the government officials to gather. As long as Zhang Bao was chased out of the Guangzong City, the end of the days for the Guangzong could be considered. The various County s of the Jizhou had all recruited a large number of brave villagers, making it difficult for Zhang Bao to find a foothold in this short period of time.
”Clank, clank, clank …”
The emergency gong sound quickly rang out in the camp, waking up the officials and soldiers of the imperial court. They all ran out of their tents. Under Generals's shouts, the soldiers quickly ran and gathered in the main camp.
”Master, master, General Huangfu Song has orders.”
Just as Yang Lin was sleeping soundly, he was woken up by the shouts of his janissaries. Just as he was about to stand up, he found Zhang Ying lying on his arm, with a sweet smile on his face. He had to gently pull his arm away from under her head, but he woke her.
”Sleep well. I'll go and see what's the matter?”
Zhang Ying was already used to sleeping in Yang Lin's embrace, and was no longer afraid of the other girls teasing him. Last night, the two of them were busy at midnight. Yang Lin had tormented Zhang Ying so much that she was tired to the point that she didn't want to move.
”Go ahead, I want to sleep for a while.”
When Yang Lin found out that Zhang Bao had abandoned the city and escaped, he couldn't help but smile. Zhang Bao must have seen that his morale was unsteady, so he wanted to escape from the Guangzong. However, with such a low morale group, how far could they possibly escape?
”Order all cavalry to assemble urgently.”
After a while, all the generals and advisers rushed over. When they heard that Guangzong had escaped the city, she immediately rubbed her hands together and prepared to fight. As for the strategists, they shook their heads while laughing, their faces full of disdain, when they heard Zhang Banxian's words.
”When it's time to run, don't run. Only now do you remember to run. Zhang Bao is seeking his own death.”
”Hehe, if xanthopanax had some strategic ideas, he wouldn't have fallen to today's state.”
Yang Lin nodded and said. To be honest, he sympathized with the xanthopanax from the bottom of his heart. After all, the rebellion had completely shaken the rule of the Darky Court. It was very meaningful for overthrowing this fallen dynasty and promoting progress in history.
”Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Lin Feng, Luo Yong, the four of you bring the Puyang's army and all the Guangzong's yellow cloth army captive s and immediately enter the Guangzong City.
”The other generals will immediately lead the army to chase after Zhang Bao. We must not let him escape. This may be the final battle to calm the dire situation. We must have a beautiful annihilation battle. ” had never thought that the trenches that he had spent so much effort to excavate would simply be too weak to withstand a single blow from the xanthopanax who had broken through. The xanthopanax only delayed for a moment before filling up the trench. The troops of the xanthopanax, together with their provisions and supplies, crossed the trench and escaped towards the north.
By the time Huangfu Song and the imperial government officials arrived, the people of xanthopanax were already nowhere to be seen. There were only messy footprints left behind in the snow, proving that the xanthopanax had escaped to the north. Huangfu Song did not hesitate at all as he urged the imperial army to chase after them.
An hour later, over twenty thousand cavalry of Youzhou had caught up. When Huangfu Song saw Yang Lin, he was even more confident. He immediately ordered the cavalry to quickly chase after him, biting on tightly to Yellow Scarf Brigade Wu. Zhang Bao must not escape, he led the imperial army and followed closely behind.
”Milord, stop.”
When Yang Lin led the cavalry to a place called Peach Blossom Ridge, the Military Advisor Zhang Banxian suddenly shouted. Yang Lin reined in the horse reins, scanning through the entire Peach Blossom Ridge, and was shocked. He immediately raised the big blade in his hand, and all the cavalrymen stopped.
Although there were no large mountains or rivers, it was extremely unfavorable for the cavalry to move. If the xanthopanax were to set up camp inside, even if the team that had entered the Peach Blossom Ridge, they would not be able to escape.
”Master, this Zhang Bao is not stupid at all, he chose to escape from here, which is a very smart move. Even if we knew that he was in the Peach Blossom Ridge, we, the cavalry soldiers, would not dare to go in and fight them. ”
It seemed that the cavalry had their own limitations. Once they entered this kind of rocky terrain, they would lose their advantage and even become a burden. If the target of the horse was too big, it would definitely become a live target for the soldiers of the xanthopanax.
”Get some rest on the spot and wait for the imperial government's army to come up.”
Yang Lin gave the order without hesitation. He would not let his own cavalry take the risk, he would definitely not do such a thing. All the cavalrymen dismounted and found a place to hide from the wind, quietly waiting for the arrival of the imperial army.
It was almost noon when Huangfu Song's imperial army finally caught up. From far away, Huangfu Song saw Yang Lin's group. He was wondering in his heart, and thought that Yang Lin had intercepted the xanthopanax, but when he saw that Yang Lin had stopped moving and was hiding here to avoid the wind, he couldn't help but be annoyed.
