Go ahead! .
Zhou Zhiruo did sleep a little more deeply today, but even if she did, it was only because she did not make any noise that it was difficult for her to wake up.
Before, when Zhang Wuji told them to sleep for another half an hour, Zhou Zhiruo heard it, but she really wanted to sleep a little longer, so she didn't react.
Even when Yu Fei said to reduce the intensity appropriately, Zhou Zhiruo only thought that he was venting his conscience. But when he said that if things continued like this, she would die first, Zhou Zhiruo could no longer tolerate it.
"You little bitch, what do you mean I'll go first? Are you planning to kill me?"
Yu Fei was surprised: "Sister Zhou, you are awake. I didn't say anything just now. Even if I did, it was for your own good. Don't be angry, let's sleep for another half hour."
As he spoke, Yu Fei hugged Zhou Zhiruo even tighter. It was early in the morning and Zhou Zhiruo was too lazy to struggle.
Zhang Wuji, who was standing aside, had already tidied his clothes: "Zhiruo, you must have been exhausted last night. You should sleep for another half an hour. Next time, we will teach Miss Yu a lesson together."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo glared at Zhang Wuji and said, "Hmph, you still said something honest. If you always keep harming only me, I will not be able to live anymore."
…
Half an hour later, the army set off.
But perhaps because he was worried that Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei did not sleep well, Zhang Wuji drove them both into the carriage.
Inside the spacious carriage, Yu Fei said happily: "Sister Zhou, the young master is so thoughtful. Look, he treats us so well."
Zhou Zhiruo glared at her fiercely: "Such a small favor has moved you to this extent. You have completely disgraced a woman's dignity."
Yu Fei smiled and said, "So what if I lost everything? You're the only one who saw it, right? Besides, I just lost my face. When it comes to face, what Sister Zhou lost last night is probably enough for me to lose in a month."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo's beautiful face flushed with shame: "You naughty girl, I remember what you did to me last night. You'd better be mentally prepared in advance. Sooner or later, I will make you pay for it."
Yu Fei no longer cared about the word retribution. It could even be said that she had stopped caring about it several years ago.
"Sister Zhou, I like wild things, and I don't believe you can do anything wilder."
Zhou Zhiruo was speechless after hearing this. For those shameless people, they probably wish they would be punished every day.
…
Not to mention how Zhang Wuji's side advanced in an orderly manner. Just last night, when Zhang Wuji was enjoying the romance, the poor Yang Xiao had just experienced a great battle.
He led all his cavalry to raid Tokugawa Hideyoshi's camp. However, Tokugawa Hideyoshi's camp was very strong. Last night's raid did achieve some gains and caused certain damage to Tokugawa Hideyoshi's army. However, he also suffered casualties on his side. Just last night, the number of his cavalrymen was reduced by about 400.
The Ming army had few cavalrymen to begin with, and more than one-tenth of their numbers were lost in one battle. This battle really made Yang Xiao feel a little guilty.
Early in the morning, just after the wounded soldiers were settled, a young general said to Yang Xiao: "General, we can't go on like this."
"We have too few cavalry, and they are all light cavalry. As long as the Japanese dare to fight, the ratio will be at most five to one, or six to one. Our men's lives are precious. Even if the ratio is ten to one, we will still suffer."
After Yang Xiao took a breath, he said, "How can I not know that the lives of our men are precious? But unfortunately, Tokugawa Hideyoshi is really capable. He led such a large army to escape, but he was still able to maintain his position even when the army was defeated. The ranks were always neat. This is a huge trouble for us. The soldiers around your majesty are all wearing heavy armor, and they can only travel sixty to seventy miles a day, and this is when there are many accompanying vehicles."
"With more vehicles accompanying us, the soldiers can temporarily put their armor on the vehicles and put them on when fighting. However, even so, the soldiers' daily marching speed may not exceed 70 miles."
"Your Majesty's army is still two days' journey from here, but this place is mostly mountainous, and it is not easy for us to trap 50,000 to 60,000 people for two days with only more than 2,000 cavalry left."
The young general pondered for a moment and said, "What the general said makes sense, but if we continue like this, I'm afraid it won't work. Even if we harass Tokugawa every day to give her a break, it can only delay her for two hours at most. But even so, their escape speed is faster than that of His Majesty's army."
"My idea is, why don't we go around to Tokugawa Hideyoshi's front, and as for the back, we just need to leave enough scouts to report the situation to His Majesty in time."
"Go around to Tokugawa Hideyoshi, and then defend a checkpoint on the road he must pass through, and then hold on there stubbornly, waiting for your majesty's reinforcements. As long as they can hold on for two days, once your majesty's army arrives, they will be defeated."
After hearing this, Yang Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, instead of fighting behind, why not go in front of Tokugawa Hideyoshi."
"Once they reach Tokugawa Hideyoshi, even if they cannot find any checkpoints that can stop them, they can still build fortifications or set up ambushes along the way."
As he spoke, Yang Xiao took out a gem from his arms, which he had seized some time ago.
Yang Xiao casually threw the gem into the young general's hand and said: "I will credit your merit today. You should fight well on the battlefield. I will definitely promote you in the future."
The young general of the Ming army was flattered. Money was not important to him. All he wanted was Yang Xiao's last words.
A word from a founding general is enough to make him, and even their family, prosperous for decades.
…
Yang Xiao already had a way to slow down or stop Tokugawa Hideyoshi from fleeing. As for Tokugawa Hideyoshi, although he was now a general, he seemed to have never been so embarrassed in his life.
At this moment, he felt like a stray dog, being chased everywhere, and there was not a single day when he was not harassed. The more this happened, the more he felt that Japan had no chance of turning the tables.
If he wanted to catch his breath, Zhang Wuji had to give him some time so that he could stabilize a piece of territory again, and then use that territory as a foundation to gradually plan for bigger things.
Unfortunately, Zhang Wuji never gave him this opportunity. Ever since he exposed the location of his army, he had been chased non-stop.
