Chapter 604
A shrill horn sounded, and the imperial flag of Huerle suddenly turned around and retreated eastward.

Seeing this situation, the Donghu people who were fighting fiercely panicked and retreated one after another, not having the courage to fight again.For a moment, the entire crowd immediately divided into two streams, like a flood gate, pouring out torrents.

At this time, the Hengshan cavalry on the two wings saw this, they would not let them go, they immediately followed and chased them down.

Lin Yifan frowned, looking at the retreating Donghu people, he felt a little doubt in his heart, why did the Donghu people choose to withdraw after attacking for a while?Could it be that there was an accident in Sirius City, forcing them to rush back to rescue?

At this time, Qin Yuanhao hurried over and asked excitedly, "My lord, shall we immediately set out to pursue?"

Lin Yifan hesitated for a moment, then asked worriedly: "Why do I think this battle is too easy? How could the Donghu people retreat so quickly?"

Qin Yuanhao was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he finally replied: "My lord, withdrawing troops is a big taboo for military strategists. When the Donghu army was fighting fiercely with our army, they suddenly withdrew their troops. Gather up your troops and fight again. Now that our cavalry has gone all out to hunt down the past, it is even more impossible for the Donghu army to gather up so easily. Our army has already won this battle."

Lin Yifan couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard the words, "You are right, it seems that I was worrying too much. Well, you immediately order the army to break camp and march eastward."

"The last general obeys orders!" Qin Yuanhao cupped his hands excitedly, and then went to make arrangements.

Lin Yifan still looked at the east with some concern, thought for a moment, and immediately ordered Niu Dali to gather [-] Qilin guards to clear the way for the [-] infantry army.

At this time, Lin Yifan led five thousand Qilin guards, who were twenty miles away from the front of the infantry army, conducting investigation and mopping up.Except for encountering sporadic Donghu routs, they did not have any battles.

Along the way, there were dead bodies in Donghu everywhere. Seeing these, Lin Yifan finally felt more at ease.From this point of view, the Donghu people have indeed been defeated, otherwise, they would never be so messy and miserable.

However, at this moment, a Qilin guard scout rushed over from the south and eagerly reported to Lin Yifan that a large army suddenly appeared in the south, the number of which was unknown, and they were rushing here.

Lin Yifan's face changed slightly. At this time, another army appeared on the grassland. Needless to say, it must be Donghu people.Because in the battle plan of the Northern Expedition, another army was not deployed here.

Lin Yifan didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ordered the Qilin guards to move closer to the infantry army, and at the same time ordered people to go to inform the pursuing cavalry to stop chasing and kill, and return to meet up immediately.

As the scouts came to report one after another, Lin Yifan finally knew that the enemy army to the south had a strength of [-] and was only a dozen miles away.At this time, it was too late for the infantry to set up positions here.He also finally understood the strategy of the Donghu people. The battle they launched before was just a feint attack, and the purpose was to draw his own army out of the camp.Let the Hengshan infantry have no place to rely on, and then secretly hide a troop until the army collapses and the Hengshan cavalry goes to pursue it.This ambush can suddenly break out and annihilate the Hengshan infantry in one fell swoop.After the Hengshan infantry is wiped out, we can concentrate on dealing with the Hengshan cavalry.

It's just that the price paid for this move is too great.In this feint attack and defeat, tens of thousands of Donghu troops were lost.But once it succeeds, it will really be able to completely defeat Hengshan, making Hengshan's plan for the Northern Expedition fall short.

Lin Yifan secretly admired the Donghu people's strategy, and at the same time ordered the Qilin guards to go south, trying their best to block the Donghu people's speed and prepare for the infantry's defense.

But with these five thousand unicorn guards alone, how can they hold back the Donghu people?Without hesitation, Lin Yifan ordered his handsome flag to be erected to attract the attention of Donghu people.As long as the Donghu people know that they are among this cavalry, they will definitely let the Donghu people chase and kill this Qilin guard with all their strength. As long as they take him down, Hengshan will collapse without a fight.

Five thousand against one hundred thousand is as brave as a cow, and at this moment, the palms of the hands are also sweating from tension.Because beside him is the Duke of the State who is tied to Hengshan's life and death.

"My lord, the task of blocking the Donghu army this time will be entrusted to us, Qilin. You are in danger on the Hengshan Mountain, so you must not take any risks. Please return to the army and sit in command." Niu Dali scratched his head in embarrassment. Painful face.

"It's useless to talk too much. Now our army is still tens of miles away from the main army. If I leave alone, it will attract the attention of the enemy army." Lin Yifan snorted coldly, "Now we only need to hold the enemy army for half an hour. It will allow the army to prepare for defense. Remember, we are not fighting desperately, but delaying and containment. My lord is here, but it is safer."

Niu Dali sighed slightly, he knew that what Lin Yifan said was reasonable, and the situation of the enemy army was still unclear at this time, so he was not at ease to let the adults leave the brigade with only a small number of people.If you encounter an enemy army on the way, it will be really dangerous.

"Okay, if that's the case, you will live in the army, my lord." Niu Dali reluctantly nodded, and immediately said in a concentrated voice, "The last general will fight to the death, and won't let the enemy touch you."

After finishing speaking, Niu Dali ordered people to raise the commander-in-chief flag, and the horn sounded loudly.The five thousand Qilin Wei Qiqi looked in the direction of Shuai Qi, and couldn't help being shocked.Raising the handsome flag at this time is to inform everyone that the Duke is in the Qilin Guard, the handsome flag will not retreat, and the battle will never stop.

Lin Yifan drew out his saber, wearing only light armor on his body, he looked like an ordinary soldier.Although his military strength is not high, but in any case, after ten years of tempering, he is not without combat power at all.Today, this is one of the few times he has visited the battlefield in person, and his blood, which had been drained by the copybooks, finally boiled again.

At this time, on the southern horizon, a black shadow surged out, all rushing towards them.

When Donghu's army approached Qilinwei, he immediately found the handsome flag erected in his army.

Huerle narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart was full of excitement, "That is, is that the handsome flag of Hengshan? The Lord of Hengshan, Duke Hua, is inside?"

"Your Majesty, that is indeed the banner of Commander-in-Chief of Hengshan. The cavalry on the opposite side seems to be the Qilin Guards of Hengshan, who are responsible for guarding Duke Hua. The general thought that Duke Hua must be inside." At this time, the general stood up. identified road.

"That's great. There is a saying in the Central Plains that captures the thief first and captures the king. As long as we capture Duke Hua, Hengshan can be defeated without a fight, and even Hengshan can be destroyed." Kuerle couldn't help laughing Said, "Haha, God helped me. Then what are you waiting for, kill me."

Following Huerle's order, one hundred thousand cavalry immediately charged, and they all rushed to kill the small number of people on the opposite side.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan couldn't help but twitched his mouth slightly, and ordered: "Order the Qilin Guard to move east."

Shuai Qi tilted slightly to the east, and the five thousand unicorn guards immediately turned and galloped towards the east.

 PS: The title of Qilin Guard was originally thought up when the new military system was established, but I forgot to change it.As for its origin, I don't know if you remember, the jade pendant given to him by the protagonist's uncle is carved with a unicorn.In the future, the kingdom established by the protagonist will use the unicorn as the totem.If any book friends think it is inappropriate, they can participate in the discussion.
