The people in Yanling City have retreated to Anling in the north one after another.

The Yanling Wei soldiers on the front also retreated completely from the Yanshui River under the leadership of Zhao Hongrun, Wang Shu and Ma Zhang.

Behind them were the overwhelming Chu soldiers, and the surging heads seemed to be connected to the sky and the earth, like tides and locusts.

Wu Wei Wang Shu turned around and looked at it, and was also shocked by the spectacular scene.

"Chu... Chu soldiers are chasing..."

He looked at Zhao Hongrun, who was driving a war horse near him, and said anxiously: "Dian... No, Lord Jiang Run, the Chu soldiers are dozens of feet away from our soldiers. I am worried..."

"Why are you panic?" Zhao Hongrun said calmly: "Our soldiers run away with two legs, and the Chu soldiers only rely on two legs to chase after them. Are you still worried that our Wei people can't run away from the Chu people?... Don't look at the distance between the two armies only dozens of feet, as long as our army's running speed is no less than that of the Chu soldiers, even if we run to the ends of the world, the people behind us will not be able to catch up."

"Really...really?" Wang Shu asked with his eyes wide open.

Zhao Hongrun ignored him and just sighed silently.

Brother once chased a low-health enemy hero running all over the map. He was obviously only two positions apart, but he didn't catch up with the same speed. In the end, he was killed by his teammates... This is a bloody lesson.

Looking back at the soldiers under his command, seeing that several soldiers carrying flags were obviously about to fall behind the large army, Zhao Hongrun said, "I inform you and throw away the flags in your hands... I want to outperform the Chu soldiers when carrying that thing? You are too underestimating them."

Perhaps Zhao Hongrun's confident and calm expression from beginning to end made Wu Wei Wang Shu feel more and more surprised and trusted. Therefore, Wang Shu ordered his soldiers to throw away the flags in his hands, including the military flags, on the road without saying a word.

Originally, the Chu soldiers behind them were chasing the ground tightly, but when they saw the Wei soldiers throwing the flags on the road, they stopped and bent down to pick them up.

No wonder, after all, during the war, the credit for seizing the flag was no less than killing an enemy soldier, especially a more advanced flag, which would cause looting. It is no exaggeration to say that if Zhao Hongrun's big banner of King Su was thrown on the road at this moment, I believe that the Chu soldiers behind him could fight for the king's flag.

Seeing this scene, the Chu general Shen Kang looked furious and shouted angrily, "Damn it! Are you so stupid to wait for a few flags?... Chase me!"

Although he had warned him severely, his soldiers were reluctant to throw away the Wei army flags he had picked up. After all, these were all military achievements.

In response to this, the Chu general Shen Kang had no choice but to constantly urge his soldiers to speed up chasing the Wei soldiers in front.

Under his urging, Chu Bing finally caught up with him a little closer.

Seeing this, Wu Wei Wang Shu couldn't help but say to Zhao Hongrun again: "Mr. Jiang Run, Chu Bing... is catching up with you again?"

Can you catch up? It's amazing...

Zhao Hongrun looked behind in surprise, then slapped his forehead like a sudden realization.

It turns out that the equipment of the Wei soldiers is generally more complete than that of the Chu soldiers. Take the infantry for example. The Chu infantry was wearing leather armor and held another weapon, a spear or a halberd in his hand, which was over. The Wei infantry was wearing iron armor, with cotton coats inside, equipment in his hand, iron shield in his left hand and swords and guns in his right hand. The weight of the equipment on his body was obviously much heavier than that of the Chu soldiers. It is no wonder that the Chu soldiers behind him caught up.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun hurriedly said, "Order all the soldiers in their hands to throw away all the weapons...... Retreat lightly!"

Wang Shu shrank his head when he heard this and said hesitantly: "Mr. Jiang Run, throw away his weapons... he violated military discipline."

Zhao Hongrun frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Do you understand the matter urgently? Weapons are just dead objects. Are dead objects still important to live people?...Disast them!"

"Yes." Although Wang Shu was scolded, he showed a sincere smile on his face.

Obviously, he was very happy with Zhao Hongrun's remark that living people are far more important than dead things.

With a command, the Wei soldiers abandoned the iron shields and swords and guns in their hands.

Now the Chu soldiers behind are very lively. You should know that the weapons and equipment of the Wei State are generally higher than those of the Chu army. Now that the Wei soldiers have discarded high-quality weapons on the road, there is no reason why the Chu soldiers behind them are not robbed.

Seeing this scene, the Chu general Shen Kang was not even thinking about scolding him, because he also knew that the weapons of the Wei soldiers were extremely popular under his command. Therefore, he could only urge his soldiers to chase him in a hurry and not fight because of looting the weapons of the Wei soldiers.

After chasing for a while, Zhao Hongrun simply asked Wang Shu to order the soldiers under his command to remove the iron armor on their bodies while running and throw them away.

Nearly five thousand Wei soldiers have completely become "light" this time, and their running speed has significantly accelerated.

On the contrary, the Chu soldiers who were chasing behind stopped several times to rob the weapons and equipment abandoned by the Wei soldiers, so they were unable to catch up.

However, this made Chu general Shen Kang's vigilance against the Wei soldiers above greatly reduced.

He was a little suspicious of whether these Wei soldiers had any tricks, but now the other party has all the weapons and armor on his body, so Shen Kang would not doubt anything else.

Obviously, Wei Bing was trying to escape and he didn't care about anything.

Yanling... It seems that it can be obtained!

The Chu general Shen Kang looked happy and subconsciously looked at Yanling's direction.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly.

It turned out that he noticed that thick smoke was raised in the direction of Yanling far ahead, and even bursts of fire were rising into the sky.

Damn it! The Wei people burned Yanling, right?

Thinking back to the group of Wei soldiers in front of him who had deliberately delayed for a long time, Shen Kang's expression suddenly became very ugly.

Because if the Wei people really burned Yanling a fire, then even if they got Yanling, it would be of no use.

Just an empty city, what can it do?

Couldn't it really burn Yanling?

Chu general Shen Kang was very anxious and once again urged the entire army to run away.

At the same time, as he gradually approached Yanling, Wu Wei Wang Shu and Ma Zhang also noticed the fire and thick smoke in the direction of Yanling city, and his face changed slightly.

Of course they would not think that the Chu soldiers were rushing in front of them and captured Yan Ling, because the Chu soldiers were still behind them.

In this case, there is only one explanation: Yanling County Magistrate Pei Zhan ordered Yanling to be burned!

Lord Pei Zhan...is not right! Lord Pei Zhan has no such courage, so to say...

Wu Wei Ma Zhang looked at Zhao Hongrun with a strange expression because he remembered that when Zhao Hongrun ordered the entire army to go to Yanshui for the so-called "gambling battle", the attitude of Yanling County Magistrate Pei Zhan was a little strange at that time.

Could it be that... His Highness Su deliberately lost the battle of Yanshui and then burned Yanling City with fire? Why did he do this?

Wu Wei Wang Shu and Ma Zhang showed confusion on their faces.

Sure enough, when they approached Yanling City, they found that the entire Yanling was already a sea of ​​fire and thick smoke rolled.

"The people in the city..."

"in front of!"

Before Wang Shu could finish his words, Ma Zhang pointed in horror, and saw a sea of ​​people vaguely in the distance ahead.

The sea of ​​people quickly evacuated to the north, turned over the hill called Yanling, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Mr. Jiang Run, Yanling City..."

However, before Wang Shu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Hongrun: "Just follow the people who retreated to Anling in front of him, let's retreat towards Anling."

"this……"

Wang Shu's expression changed slightly because in his opinion, since there were people withdrawing from Yanling in front, they could not take this route anymore. Otherwise, once the Chu soldiers behind chased the Yanling in front, those people would obviously suffer.

But if the Wei soldiers under their command were left without weapons and armor, how could they fight with the Chu soldiers behind?

I don’t know if it was because of the hesitation in Wang Shu and Ma Zhang, Zhao Hongrun whispered and comforted: “Do not be sure to do what I said, I know what I said.”

...I hope so.

Wang Shu and Ma Zhang sighed, and had to order their soldiers to continue running and evacuation along the evacuation route of the Yanling people in front.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun turned around and glanced at Chu Bing behind him and said in his heart: What would you choose, General Chu?

Behind Zhao Hongrun, the Chu general Shen Kangzheng also noticed the Yanling people evacuated north from afar.

The Wei people...really, they planned to withdraw the people in the city, then burn Yanling, and leave our army an empty city...

The Chu general Shen Kang tied the reins and stood on horseback and looked at the Wei people who were evacuating northeast of Yanling City and Yanling City, with a look of contemplation on his face.

"General, the Wei people set fire to Yanling. Are we going to put out the fire?" asked left and right.

Chu general Shen Kang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Save... I want to save it. However, even if we put out the fire at this moment, we will only get an empty city. I believe that the Wei people have transported away valuable things in the city... Rather than doing this, it is better to take advantage of the situation to win Anling!"

"Take advantage of the situation to win Anling?" said left and right.

"Ah!...If I expected it would be fine, there should be more than 100,000 Yanling people in front... We are holding these people at the end. If Anling accepts these Yanling people, we will take advantage of the situation to conquer Anling..."

"What if An Ling doesn't accept it?"

"Hmph! Then kill all the Yanling people under Anling City to intimidate the soldiers and civilians in Anling City!... After passing the order, the entire army will speed up the pursuit. Furthermore, send someone to inform Lord Xiong Hu of Pingyu Jun, and ask the Lord to bring the remaining troops to come quickly... This is a good opportunity to take Anling, and you must not miss it!"

"yes!"

Therefore, under the order of the general of Chu general Shen Kang, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers marched again with their legs, and at any cost, they had to catch up with the Yanling soldiers and civilians in front of them.

When they discovered this situation, Wu Wei Wang Shu and Ma Zhang were both angry and anxious. They couldn't help but regret that they shouldn't have listened to Zhao Hongrun's words and asked the soldiers to throw away their weapons and equipment. Now, the Chu soldiers behind them were chasing them desperately without any effort. They had no ability to cut off the rear.

As for this, Zhao Hongrun's expression was still very calm. He turned around and looked behind him, with a smile on his face.

Well, did you really choose to take advantage of the situation to attack Anling? Very smart, then General Chu... It's a pity that this intelligence will kill you!
