"General, if we continue chasing, we might be ambushed!"

The Shenji Camp had been very successful in their pursuit and killing of countless Yanyun deserters.

At the same time, the pursuit along the way is too long.

Gong Qiu was worried that if they continued like this, they would become an isolated army. If the Yanyun Kingdom still had palace soldiers, they would fall into the enemy's ambush.

So, he quickly rushed to the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Lion and reported loudly to Lin Che.

"My Divine Machine Battalion, are we still afraid of their ambush? Pass the order down, continue the pursuit. Without stopping for a moment!!"

"Yes, sir—" Gong Qiu replied and immediately went to pass on the order.

In fact, by this time in the chase, most of the deserters had been killed or wounded. A small number had fled in all directions, while the rest had abandoned their horses and were using all their energy to escape.

Gong Tianlei and Gong Muyu both have seventh-grade masters around them. They can still escape with the two generals, and their speed is indeed faster than that of war horses.

But Lin Che was able to lock onto them from a distance and follow them without rushing up to kill them.

Some guards who had exhausted their true energy and were unable to escape were killed with a single sword strike.

The purpose is, don't take any prisoners, but half is fine.

As we continued the pursuit, we found that Gong Qiu's worries were not unreasonable.

Sure enough, there were nearly a thousand Yanyun soldiers to support them. With new war horses, they could escape for their lives again.

Of course, the unlucky guy whose warhorse was taken away by the superiors could only stay and die.

"Very good—pass the order, all teams slow down and cannot overtake me."

With the leadership of these two enemy generals, they continued to discover some military deployments of Yanyun State.

In front, Gong Tianlei was running for his life, looking back from time to time.

He soon discovered that something was wrong, because the Shenji Battalion behind him was so powerful that they had been chasing him for such a long time but had only maintained a distance of three or four thousand meters.

As long as we take a short rest, the Shenji Camp behind us will emerge.

"Gong Muyu, go to the town ahead. You retreat from the left, and I'll lead the others to retreat from the right. Spread them out—"

This plan wasn't perfect, but the most taboo thing during a retreat was to stay together. A concentrated escape gave the pursuers a chance to gather. If the pursuers were dispersed, they would naturally panic and not dare to pursue further.

But when Gong Muyu heard the plan, he immediately disagreed.

He was carried on the back of a seventh-rank warrior and fled, but he didn't feel safe at all:

"Gong Tianlei, you rotten fish and shrimp. Are you trying to get rid of me and escape alone? You want me to lead the pursuers away so you can escape yourself, right?"

"I've long seen through you, the hypocrite you are. I never thought you could be so cruel. Are you waiting for my death to pin the blame for the defeat on me?"

"I've told you many times to attack Liangjie City as soon as possible. But you didn't listen. Now that their reinforcements have arrived, you still can't stop them... You, what are you going to do? Looking at your expression, are you going to kill me now? "

Gong Tianlei could no longer bear it and shouted angrily: "Shut up - you loser! If I could, I would kill you right now."

Gong Tianlei knew that he could no longer rely on Gong Muyu, and he couldn't get rid of this burden.

He looked back again and saw that the army of the Shenji Camp had raised a cloud of dust but did not chase after him.

"Deputy General, there's a town about a hundred miles ahead. There are two thousand Yanyun soldiers stationed there. Take my token and tell them to obey my orders..."

After listening carefully, the deputy general frowned and said quickly:

"Yes, General!"

The deputy general took the token, took the pill, burst out with powerful true energy, and flew forward alone.

Gong Tianlei gritted his teeth and led the team to take another route...

And at this time.

Lin Che, who was being chased from behind, was standing leisurely on the back of the Wind, Fire and Thunder Lion, holding a map of mountains, rivers and the country in his hand.

Despite deliberately slowing down, the Shenjiying always maintained its offensive of "picking up leaks".

But at this moment, Lin Che suddenly frowned slightly.

"Huh? Did they take a detour?"

Lin Che could see everything clearly on the map, even the next town and village were clearly visible. These were all illuminated maps.

According to the direction of the deserters, they should have rushed directly to a town about a hundred miles away, so that they could get another batch of war horses to escape.

But why take a detour at this time? Why not take the direct route?

Could it be that he was in a panic and had no choice but to go?

It's a bit weird!

Sure enough, after taking a detour, the deserter continued to rush towards the town.

“Interesting!”

Lin Che sighed softly.

A distance of a hundred miles doesn't take long for the Shenji Camp.

The town was right in front of them, and the deserters including Gong Tianlei had already fled into the town.

"General, they still dare not resist and are fleeing from the right!"

As soon as the Shenji Camp rushed into the town, they saw a cloud of smoke and dust in front of them, and occasionally discarded weapons could be seen on the ground.

It was obvious that the enemy was fleeing for their lives all the time.

Moreover, there were quite a few enemy troops fleeing this time, otherwise it would not have caused so much dust.

Many Shenjiying soldiers howled, "Looks like there are a lot of people in the town. Chase them and kill them."

Lin Che looked at the map, then at the dust, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Xiaodian, catch up with them as fast as you can and see if this team is the one we've been chasing."

Yu Huadian immediately took the order and left, turning into a shadow and chasing after him in an instant.

"Pass the word down, search the town for all the supplies! Take whatever you can, just food and drink!"

"yes--"

The entire town's garrison and residents had all fled, leaving behind a lot of food.

The Shenji Camp is just the right place to replenish.

Yao Wenkuiye seemed to have thought of something and stepped forward. "General, we can definitely catch up and kill them all. Right now, we're still in the town to resupply. Do you still want to continue chasing them?"

"That's right. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Before they can react, we should just charge towards Yanyun Country! Charge into Youzhou!" Lin Che's voice was calm, but the sound spread far away, and many generals' faces changed.

What?

They're not ready yet. Are they going to attack Yanyun Kingdom now?

Now, their army has no support at all! If they continue to advance, they will really be alone in the deep.

Tens of thousands of Shenjiying soldiers had just completed their supply mission when Yu Huadian returned.

"Master, look carefully. Ahead is a cavalry of over two thousand men. They've tied branches to the backs of each horse. When the horses gallop, they raise a huge cloud of dust. It looks like tens of thousands of people are marching..."

Lin Che nodded and looked towards the official road on the left side of the town.

"Let's go! Within seven days, I will set foot in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!"
