Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 213 Ambushes everywhere

Immediately, Zhang Jun gathered his troops and prepared to chase Zhao Chen westward!

However, after several successive battles, Zhang Jun's army was severely damaged! His Zhang family army was originally 100,000 people, but up to now more than 12,000 people have died, and nearly 20,000 people were injured, making it difficult to dispatch!

In other words, Zhang Jun can only mobilize less than 70,000 troops!

At this moment, the army under him slowly started moving towards the west!

"Damn Emperor Xuanwu, you have caused me such serious casualties! When I, Zhang Jun, capture you alive, I will definitely make your life worse than death!" Looking at the situation of his army, Zhang Jun gritted his teeth.

"General, our soldiers didn't sleep last night and are exhausted now. Shall we let them rest for a while? Let's go after Emperor Xuanwu tomorrow?" one of Zhang Jun's generals, named Liu He, asked.

"Bastard! Emperor Xuanwu was here last night, and he just escaped not long ago! We must pursue now, without wasting time!" Zhang Jun scolded.

"General, we suffered heavy losses last night! No one knows how many soldiers and horses Emperor Xuanwu has under his command? If we catch up, what if we are not their opponents? What should we do?" Liu He asked again.

"Hmph, the reason why we suffered heavy losses last night was because of the bombing of the camp in the army, not because of Emperor Xuanwu! Emperor Xuanwu is just a young man with no morals, no abilities, and no way of doing things! He has only a few thousand soldiers under his command now. That's all, with so many of our troops chasing him, we will definitely be able to capture him alive!" Zhang Jun sneered.

The soldiers in the army were extremely tired, so the marching speed was extremely slow! Seeing this, Zhang Jun was furious. He called for the supervising team and asked the supervising team to urge the soldiers to move forward! If a soldier lags behind, they will be beaten up immediately! Zhang Jun is extremely brutal in his military use, and he is also extremely cruel in his treatment of his subordinates! After a while, Zhang Jun himself came to the back of the army and beat those soldiers with a horsewhip. Finally, these soldiers moved a little faster!

"All of you, hurry up! If you catch Emperor Xuanwu, I will certainly have made great contributions, and your contributions will not be small! At that time, I will give you a big reward, and I will not be stingy! Faster! Damn it! things!" Zhang Jun cursed fiercely from behind!

His subordinates are mainly infantry, so now he can only drive these infantry forward!

When passing Liu Jiajun, Zhang Jun found Liu Guangshi and wanted Liu Guangshi to lend him 10,000 cavalry, but Liu Guangshi was unwilling! Zhang Jun had no choice but to lead the infantry forward!

*** ***

At dusk, 70,000 people from the Zhang family army arrived near Zhongnan Mountain!

After arriving here, Zhang Jun was cautious. Liu Guangshi suffered a big loss here yesterday, and he didn't want to suffer a loss here too!

But all the way forward, there was no ambush! Only then did Zhang Jun feel relieved!

He knew that the terrain of Zhongnan Mountain was complicated, so he didn't dare to stay here any longer! At the moment, he is still urging the soldiers to move forward!

It wasn't until midnight that they arrived at the plain!

After arriving here, Zhang Jun ordered to set up camp! The soldiers have been running around for days, and they are indeed very tired now! Now the soldiers set up the tents, light the bonfire, and get ready to sleep!

They had just lay down for less than half an hour when suddenly the sound of horseshoes appeared in the distance!

Zhao Chen and Kang An have led 5,000 soldiers from the imperial camp to arrive at this moment! But this time they did not succeed in sneak attack. Zhang Jun, as one of the four generals of ZTE in the Southern Song Dynasty, used troops is no small matter. They just arrived, and Zhang Jun's subordinates have already found out! At this moment, there were bursts of roars in Zhang Jun's barracks, and countless generals called out their subordinates!

"Your Majesty, they are already prepared!" Kang An said.

"It doesn't matter if we are prepared! Let's pass by their army and let them enjoy our arrow rain!" Zhao Chen laughed.

They passed by the Zhangjiajun barracks, and waves of bows and arrows shot towards the Zhangjiajun barracks! Then they headed forward! After they reached the front, they stopped not long after! At this moment Zhang Jiajun had already chased them up, Zhao Chen ordered his men to continue shooting arrows, and they did not leave again until Zhang Jiajun got closer and closer to them!

This is the Mongols' art of war. Although the Mongols have not risen yet, Zhao Chen came from later generations, so he is naturally familiar with this art of war!

The soldiers of Zhang Jiajun were filled with anger! In the dark night, Zhang Jun didn't dare to order the soldiers to keep chasing him! He hurriedly ordered to count the casualties!

The result of the statistics is that there were more than 300 casualties, which is nothing compared to the 70,000 army, but Zhang Jun was even more angry!

At present, Zhang Jun did not let the soldiers rest, but let the soldiers rush all night!

They trekked all night like this, but they encountered constant harassment from the imperial camp along the way, and Zhang Jun couldn't help it! He has no cavalry under his command, so he is helpless in the face of harassment from the imperial camp! Fortunately, the imperial camp was only shooting arrows from the sidelines and did not dare to attack their barracks head-on, so the casualties caused by these harassments were not too many!

At dawn on the 16th day of the first lunar month, they finally came to a small town!

Seeing this small town, a relaxed smile appeared on Zhang Jun's face!

"Let the soldiers rush over there immediately... Also, let the soldiers relax! Those untouchables here, let them give away all their property, otherwise they will die! And those women, also want to volunteer themselves!" Zhang Zhang Jun sneered.

The soldiers of the Zhang family army were extremely excited to see this small town, and they were even more excited when Zhang Jun's order was conveyed!

However, when they rushed to the town, they realized that there was no one in the town!

"General, there is no one inside." Liu He came to Zhang Jun's side and said.

"No one? Hmph! This Emperor Xuanwu really deserves to die! When we captured Chang'an, there was no one in it, and now there is no one in this small town! Is there any food in here?" Zhang Jun asked.

"No!" Liu He shook his head and said.

"Damn it! Forget it, the brothers didn't sleep all night, let the brothers have a good rest here! Here, it is difficult for them to harass!" Zhang Jun said.

Liu He nodded, and immediately carried out Zhang Jun's order!

Zhang Jun himself felt a little tired, so Zhang Jun also found a room and went in to rest!

However, less than half an hour later, Zhang Jun suddenly felt something was wrong, he suddenly opened his eyes, and pushed open the door!

I saw black smoke billowing outside, and fireworks were everywhere in the town!

"Damn! Quick! Get out of here!" Zhang Jun yelled!

He had already rushed out of the town first, and those soldiers who found out that something was wrong also rushed out one after another! However, some soldiers were so exhausted that they were falling asleep at the moment, and they didn't even notice that the fire was burning! After Zhang Jun rushed out, seeing that there were not many people coming out, he immediately asked people to wake up the soldiers who were still sleeping, not to mention this.

After a full hour, the town had been burned to ashes, and all Zhang Jiajun came outside! Many Zhang Jiajun soldiers were ashamed, and many of them looked inside in horror!

"How many people did we die?" Zhang Jun gritted his teeth and asked.

"About 500 brothers died among them!" Liu He said.

"Emperor Xuanwu, I will never spare you!" Zhang Jun was extremely angry!

Although not many people died, Zhang Jun felt that this was a great shame! He looked down on Zhao Chen at all, he thought this incompetent emperor had brought him too much humiliation!

"General, what should we do now?" Liu He asked.

"Keep going! We must catch up with Emperor Xuanwu!" Zhang Jun gritted his teeth.

After walking for two hours, they came to the vicinity of a hill! Seeing that his soldiers were really exhausted, Zhang Jun immediately ordered the soldiers to take a rest at the foot of the mountain!

But at this moment, huge boulders suddenly rolled down the mountain!

The boulder rolled down with a huge momentum, and countless soldiers were crushed to pieces before they could dodge!

Zhang Jun was so angry that he ordered the soldiers to go to the mountain to hunt down the enemy! But after arriving on the mountain, those enemies had already disappeared! Zhang Jun ordered the soldiers to go deep into the mountains! But not long after, there was a sound of shouting and killing in the mountains! I don't know how many ambushes there were in the mountains, and many of his soldiers died in the mountains!

When it was dusk and Zhang Jun withdrew all his troops, there were only 60,000 people left!

"How could this be? How could this be?" Zhang Jun couldn't accept this fact at all!

"General, there are enemy troops everywhere here, why don't we wait for Lord Qin to lead the rest of the army, and then chase and kill Emperor Xuanwu!" Liu He suggested carefully.

"It must not be like this! I must capture Emperor Xuanwu alive and tear him into pieces! There are many enemies in this hill. If we don't enter it, let's go west!" Zhang Jun gritted his teeth.

That night, when they were resting, they encountered harassment again. It was still Zhao Chen and Kang An who led the five thousand imperial battalion! Zhang Jun didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the five thousand imperial soldiers went from east to west, from south to north, and in the end all the soldiers of the Zhang family army couldn't sleep. Zhang Jun had no choice but to lead the Zhang family army to continue to chase west!

They didn't fall asleep for two days and two nights, and when it dawned on the third day, they were ambushed again in a dense forest!

Zhang Jun led the army into the dense forest, but there are traps and organs everywhere in the dense forest! Soldiers kept falling into the trap, screaming in pain! And they went from one side of the dense forest to the other, only seeing the footprints left by the enemy, but not a single enemy!

On this day, Zhang Jun was still heading west, and there were traps everywhere along the way. At night, Zhang Jun simply refused to let the soldiers rest, and continued on their way west! He is going to take down Wugong County, and then rest there!
