Thanks to the help of the scouts from Jizhou, Pan Feng had long known about Zhang Xun's movements.
Zhang Xun gave the order to pursue at full speed, but Pan Feng kept ordering the soldiers not to run too fast!
He wanted to give the other party some time to pursue so that the other party could continuously shrink the distance.
It wasn't that Pan Feng was arrogant. Although Yuan Shu's army was sharp, it was still far inferior to the Jizhou soldiers that Pan Feng had invested a lot of money, resources, and energy into.
Not to mention other things, just the military rations alone, the Jizhou soldiers could eat at least four meals of meat every week!
How many times could Yuan Shu's soldiers eat meat in a month?
If it was now, everyone knew that if he didn't have enough protein during training, how could his muscles grow?
If you couldn't grow muscles and strength, what would you use to win in the cold weapons era?
Not everyone could master martial arts techniques like famous generals like Zhao Yun.
After a short conversation, it was said that Zhang Xun's 70,000-strong army had surrounded and killed Pan.
Feng Pan led less than 10,000 soldiers and fled intermittently.
If someone could look down from the sky, they would be able to see that Pan Feng's army was sometimes moving and sometimes stopping.
In short, the 70,000 soldiers chasing after them were getting closer and closer to Pan Feng.
When the two armies were less than a mile apart, Pan Feng suddenly gave the order for the entire army to speed up again!
The distance between them increased again.
Zhang Xun was so angry that he stomped his feet.
Just now, there was only about 500 meters left. Zhang Xun had even ordered the archers to get ready.
Out of the 70,000 soldiers, there were 30,000 archers. If these 30,000 archers were to draw their bows and wait for them to get closer, they would be able to release an arrow rain that would cover the sky. Pan Feng's army of less than 10,000 soldiers would definitely suffer a huge loss.
Of course, all of this only remained in Zhang Xun's mind.
The distance between them increased once again. Zhang Xun gritted his teeth in anger and gave the order to give chase at full speed.
Just like that, Pan Feng ran while Zhang Xun chased after her.
Pan Feng maintained a state of being faster than the others.
The more they pursued, the tighter Ji Ling's frown became.
He realized that the physical fitness of his army seemed to be a little lacking.
According to his usual training and previous battles, this shouldn't be the case.
On the other hand, the Jizhou Army was full of vigor and vitality, as if they were running with them.
Zhang Xun also felt that the army seemed to be lacking in strength, but he was in a hurry to pursue Pan Feng, so he did not take this matter to heart.
He thought that the army had suffered a tragic defeat in the past few days and had lost a lot of men. In addition, it was normal for them to be tired from not resting well at night.
Thinking back to the military rations that they had seized, it was normal for the Jizhou soldiers to have good endurance since they ate so well.
Zhang Xun didn't take it seriously and continued to chase.
Not long after, they passed by a canyon.
As for Pan Feng and Pang Tong, they rode their horses and trotted. Suddenly, a white pigeon descended from the sky and flew into the hands of the scout leader.
After that, the commander quickly opened the secret letter on Brother Bai's leg and handed it to Pan Feng.
He opened it and saw a few words written on it:
"Wen Yuan's ambush is less than five miles away from my lord. Should we wait for Yuan Shu's army to arrive and attack him head-on, or cut off his head and tail, surround him and kill him one by one?”
After Pan Feng finished reading it, she chuckled and ordered the scouts to pass on the message to Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.
"Don't be anxious. Stay where you are and lay in ambush. Without my orders, even if these troops run over, you are not allowed to attack! Continue the ambush!"
Zhang Xun's army had already seen where Pan Feng's army had fled to.
The dust that was sent flying by the marching army was the best beacon.
The scouts that Zhang Xun had sent out to monitor the situation had already reduced the scope of their investigation. As long as they could accurately determine where Pan Feng's army of less than 10,000 had fled to, it would be fine.
As for where the rest of the army was, Zhang Xun could not care less.
He wanted to catch up to Pan Feng's army and make these 10,000 people stay on this land forever.
Zhang Liao received Pan Feng's order and was a little confused.
He could not understand what his lord was up to.
However, he still followed Pan Feng's orders meticulously.
He could only watch helplessly as his lord led 10,000 troops through the valley where he had laid an ambush.
He could only watch helplessly as Yuan Shu's army, which was chasing after his lord, passed through the canyon and gradually disappeared.
The soldiers beside Zhang Wenyuan watched Zhang Xun's troops gradually walk away through the weeds in front of them. They could not suppress the doubts in their hearts and asked,
"General, what does the lord mean? Such a good opportunity was wasted.”
"Just now, if we had suddenly charged out and used all the Rocket Rollers that we had prepared in advance, we would have left at least 10,000 to 20,000 of these 70,000 people behind!”
"In addition, our sudden attack caught the enemy off guard. Moreover, they are a tired army. If my lord can turn around from the front and kill them, we might be able to kill these 70,000 soldiers.”
"Why waste such a good opportunity?”
It wasn't just the soldier who was confused. The tens of thousands of Zhang Liao's men who were lying in ambush here were all puzzled.
In fact, Zhang Liao himself did not know.
However, how could he say that he didn't know when he was questioned by his soldiers?
He couldn't.
"Military affairs are not something that you can pry into. Just lie in ambush quietly. Without my orders, no one is allowed to make a move!”
"If anyone disobeys the military order, I will definitely kill them!”
After fleeing for another two hours, Pan Feng received a report from a scout.
Behind Zhangxun's 70,000-strong army, about 50 to 60 miles away, there was a 40,000-strong army escorting rations and advancing with Zhangxun's troops.
Pan Feng chuckled and turned to look at Pang Tong.
"Shiyuan, as you expected, Zhang Xun really let his soldiers carry rations behind him.”
Pang Tong chuckled and cupped his hands at Pan Feng.
"That's because the lord is blessed with good luck. It seems that our plan will succeed again.”
Pan Feng nodded and immediately ordered Zhang Liao.
He gave the servant who was in charge of delivering orders to the messenger pigeon talismans that he carried with him and released them one by one.
Pan Feng looked at the pigeons flying away and smiled.
This messenger pigeon was something that he had ordered people to study and train when he had just taken over Jizhou.
Although carrier pigeons had been used since ancient times, they were not widely used because of the large number of lost and easy to be robbed.
However, Pan Feng had used the knowledge of the later generations and the ingenious ideas of her subordinates in the Tianji Battalion. Coupled with some medicinal pills and beast-capturing techniques, the messenger pigeon had become the most efficient method of transmission in this era.
Not long after, Zhang Liao received an order.
There were 40,000 troops passing by with rations, and they seized the opportunity to take down all of them. The army provisions were burned on the spot.
Zhang Liao couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this message.
