C167 (2/2)

It was a bright moonlit night, full of gales. By night time, the gales were tired as well, hiding somewhere. The moon quietly ran out, illuminating the entire snowy plain with white light. The Jizhou was bathed in the moonlight, finally calming down.

”Reporting...” Lord General, xanthopanax has been withdrawn. ”

”Oh …” Zhang Bao finally could not hold it in anymore? Where did they leave to? ”

”Lord General, headed towards the Yellow River.”

”Gather all your men and chase after the xanthopanax.”

Yang Lin quickly got up from the bed, and as he put on his clothes, he quickly gave out his orders. The emperor had already ordered him to be the Jizhou Thorn History, to command the military and political affairs of the Jizhou. In other words, he had given himself the mission of eliminating Zhang Bao. If Zhang Bao ran away, the officials wouldn't even need to attack him, the Emperor would just immediately withdraw.

”Clank, clank, clank …”

The sound of an emergency gathering of gongs quickly rang out in the cavalry army camp, breaking the silence of the snowy night in an instant. The generals and soldiers who were sleeping soundly got up from their bunks. However, there were too many clothes in the cold winter, and they would not be able to wear them in a short period of time.

When Yang Lin finally finished and walked out of the Big Account, his subordinates, generals and aides were already gathered, and were walking towards his Big Account. He didn't have time to talk to them, so he waved his hand and led them towards the sports field.

On the field, all the cavalry had already been gathered, but the newly formed infantry soldiers were still running towards the field. Yang Lin could not help but frown, it seemed that the infantry soldiers had just been formed and could not quickly adapt to the cavalry of Youzhou's style.

”All cavalrymen, set off immediately!”

Yang Lin could not wait any longer. Waving his hand, he signaled the cavalry soldiers to leave first. In order to completely annihilate Zhang Bao, he had already transferred all the generals and cavalry that he had under him from the Youzhou. Right now, the cavalry of Youzhou was in its most orderly state, without the cooperation of the infantry, he was confident in being able to stop Zhang Bao.

”Zhang He, High Scholar!”

”Here!”

”All of you, bring the infantry and quickly follow!”

”Yes sir!”

Seeing that the cavalry was already far away while his own infantry was still assembling, Zhang He and Gao Guan angrily slashed their way to the ground with their blades, fiercely cursing out loud.

”All of you better f * cking hurry up, or else I will kill you all!”

Although the newly mobilized county soldiers were elites as well, they were, after all, just local officials. Their discipline was lacking by a lot, and upon seeing Zhang He and Gao Lan angered, they quickened their pace. There were also many soldiers who were still wearing their armor as they ran towards the sports field.

By the time Yang Lin's cavalry army reached Zhang Bao's camp, they had already left the camp empty. Not only had they evacuated all the troops, they had also transported away all the food and supplies. Yang Lin could not help but be a little puzzled. In this snow and winter where the sky is covered, Zhang Bao even brought along a large carriage that was used to transport food and supplies. How fast can he walk, is he not afraid of us catching up?

”Chase!”

With a wave of Yang Lin's blade, over thirty thousand cavalrymen traversed past xanthopanax's camp and followed the footprints that Zhang Bao had left behind. It was such a bright night and there was no snow falling. The footprints left by Zhang Bao's team could clearly be seen, especially the tracks left by Zhang Bao's cart.

Following Yang Lin's order, over thirty thousand cavalrymen raised their whips and spurred their horses to chase towards the south, sweeping up snow fog s as they chased after them. The earth-shattering hooves sounds also shook the entire world's moon a few times. However, before he could run 30 miles, he saw exorcism running over.

”Reporting...” Lord General, Zhang Bao's xanthopanax has already ran 50 li away and is currently fleeing towards the Yellow River. ”

”Send the order: Hurry up, we must not let Zhang Bao escape across the Yellow River.”

Yang Lin knew that the Yellow River had already been frozen. Zhang Bao could easily escape the Yellow River, but he had to stop Zhang Bao before he could reach the Yellow River. Yang Lin was really anxious now, he urged his horse to run, the thirty thousand odd cavalrymen behind him also followed close behind, following closely behind.

Very quickly, Yang Lin brought his cavalry to catch up with Zhang Bao's large group of xanthopanax. What made Yang Lin curious was that Zhang Bao did not run away in a hurry. Instead, he ordered over two hundred thousand xanthopanax s under him to arrange a large array in front of him, as if he was waiting for Yang Lin's arrival.

”Phew …”

Yang Lin bellowed, he raised the big blade in his hand, and the thirty thousand odd cavalry soldiers behind him slowly stopped. Although it was night time, Yang Lin could still see it clearly. Zhang Bao stood calmly in front of the array, with a somewhat complacent look on his face.

”Lord, the terrain is unfavorable for us!”
