At this moment, another scout rushed into the tent:
"Report! We discovered that the remnants of Pei Lun and Guo Xiaoti's troops broke through last night and joined up with the Yin army detachment down the mountain. They are currently moving south, and their target appears to be Wild Wolf Gorge!"
"They ran away?!"
Wumuchi stood up suddenly, his chest heaving violently.
shame!
What a shame and humiliation!
They were fooled by just a thousand remnants, lost two thousand elite soldiers, and let them slip away right under their noses!
"General, should we send troops to pursue them immediately?" A captain requested to fight.
"Chase? How?"
Another more cautious captain objected, "The Yin army has just received reinforcements, and morale is high. Our army has just suffered a defeat, and morale is low. Moreover, Pei Lun is cunning and skilled in fire attacks. The terrain in Wild Wolf Gorge is complex. What if..."
"Are we just going to watch them run away?" The war faction was dissatisfied.
"Shut up!"
Wumuchi shouted angrily, and the tent became quiet instantly.
He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.
As a coach, he cannot lose his mind because of anger.
"Pei Lun... Zhao Muyun..."
He muttered the two names, murderous intent flashing in his eyes. "Order! Closely monitor the movements of this Yin army and find out their specific strength and intentions."
"Also, send out more scouts to locate Zhao Muyun's main force! I want to destroy this annoying detachment first, and then go meet Zhao Muyun!"
He paused and added, "Spread the news to Yang Yan in the south, saying that the siege of Heidu Mountain has been lifted! I think he will definitely react!"
Although Wumuchi was angry, he did not completely lose his composure.
He realized that although Pei Lun's combined forces were small in number, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Especially with Pei Lun, an experienced and resourceful coach.
After all, Pei Lun had been the governor of Hedong for a long time and had many dealings with the Tartars.
He needs to be more cautious and may even need to join forces with Yang Yan to ensure its annihilation.
At sunset, Pei Lun and Shi Yong's troops finally arrived at Yelangjian.
Just as the scouts had reported, there was plenty of water in the stream, and the clear stream made the thirsty soldiers cheer.
Pei Lun immediately gave orders to prioritize the supply of drinking water, and at the same time sent troops to occupy the commanding heights on both sides of the stream mouth, build simple fortifications, and set up guard posts.
"We can't stay here for long!"
Pei Lun said to Shi Yong and Guo Xiaoti, "Replenish your water and rest for a night. We must leave tomorrow morning."
"Sir, are you worried that Wumuchi will catch up with you?" Shi Yong asked.
"It's not just Wumuchi!" Pei Lun's eyes were sharp. "There are also troops from nearby Chechi Kingdom and other small Western Region countries that have defected to the Tartars. If they receive Wumuchi's order and send troops to intercept us, we will be blocked in Wild Wolf Gorge."
Guo Xiaoti frowned: "Which direction should we go?"
Pei Lun's finger moved across the map, finally landing on a location: "Go west and enter the 'Rock Slope'."
"Rocky slope?"
Shi Yong was stunned. "The terrain there is complex, with rolling hills and huge rocks. It's not conducive to the march of a large army, but it is indeed easy to hide and maneuver."
"Yes!" Pei Lun nodded. "The rocky slope is vast, making it easy for us to escape our pursuers. There, we can rest our troops, wait for an opportunity, or even... take the initiative and attack Wumuchi's food train or outposts!"
His words revealed a spirit of actively seeking battle.
Heidushan's persistence and counterattack did not seem to dampen his fighting spirit, but instead stimulated his stronger desire to fight.
Shi Yong looked at Pei Lun, Lord Pei who had just escaped from a desperate situation. There was no trace of dejection in his eyes, only calmness and calculation, as well as a strong desire to control the rhythm of the battlefield.
He couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: He is worthy of being a provincial governor for many years!
Shi Yong learned and understood silently, and he vowed that one day he would be able to make plans and strategize like Lord Pei.
"Just follow what Lord Pei said!" Shi Yong clasped his fists.
That night, in the Wild Wolf Gorge, the soldiers drank from the sweet spring water, cooked their meals, and got a rare rest.
Pei Lun, Shi Yong and Guo Xiaoti sat around the campfire, carefully deducing their plan of action after entering the rocky slope tomorrow.
And how to use this force to create the most favorable situation for Zhao Muyun in the big game of Longyou.
......
When Pei Lun and Shi Yong were discussing advancing westward to Luanshipo in Yelangjian, intending to create new waves on the Longyou battlefield, the city of Ganzhou, a hundred miles away, was also undercurrents due to the news.
Ganzhou has been under siege for nearly a month. Although the city defenses remain solid, supplies are becoming increasingly scarce, and the faces of the soldiers and civilians show signs of hunger and fatigue.
Tang Yanhai and Liu Hui, the deputy commander of Ganzhou in Longyou, stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the continuous camp of the Tatar and Chechi Kingdom coalition forces outside the city, with frowns on their faces.
The scar on his face twitched slightly, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
"Captain! Urgent report!"
The deputy commander of the scout battalion quickly climbed up the city wall, his voice low but unable to conceal his excitement.
He leaned close to Tang Yanhai's ear and quickly reported the two pieces of news he had just received through special channels:
Grand Commander Zhao Muyun has led the main force of Hedong to attack Liangzhou, with the spearhead heading straight for Yang Yan;
Pei Lun and Guo Xiaoti's troops have successfully broken through at Heidu Mountain and joined forces with Shi Yong's troops!
When Tang Yanhai heard this, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and his originally solemn expression instantly relaxed, as if a long drought had finally ended with a downpour.
He slammed the battlements of the city wall and shouted, "That's great! I told you, ever since I've been with Zhao Tou, I've never lost a battle!"
He paced back and forth a few times, his mind racing.
Liangzhou was attacked and Pei Lun broke through, which meant that the stalemate in the Longyou battle situation had been broken!
