After running for several miles, Burying Xihe stopped the horses and looking back, they saw countless people running away in a mess under the moonlight. Not long after waiting, Yepu Duoge and Ela Baozhong came up and the three of them gathered together.

Looking at the soldiers who kept fleeing south, Bury Xiangre asked Yepu Duoge: "Where did the Taiwei instruct the troops to gather?"

Yepu Duoge said: "There are no cities or villages in this area, so how can we tell where? We only let the generals lead their troops to retreat south and gather several miles away. We can't tell the way at night, and we don't know when we can stop."

When Maiyi Duore heard this, he frowned: "What should I do? Forget it, I can't fight this battle, so let's go back to the Youxiang Military City. Taiwei Yepu ordered his personal soldiers to order the troops to gather on the road and withdraw the military city."

Elabaozhong said: "Who did you think that the Song army's artillery is so powerful, how to fight? Why not go back to the military city and discuss it again."

Burying Xiangre said in a deep voice: "This time I'm in vain! It's okay to lose. Winning and defeat are common among military strategists. But even the Song army did not see clearly, so they were defeated. Even the Song army did not try out the combat power of the Song army - forget it, go back to the city!"

Wu Fengchen led his cavalry and rushed all the way to chase the defeated soldiers of Dangxiang. When he arrived near the abandoned fort, the barracks were empty, and most of the Dangxiang soldiers fled. Most of the soldiers who were left were wounded, as well as soldiers who were caring for the wounded and unwilling to escape.

Wu Fengchen said to his subordinates: "There is no need to stay here for a long time. These people cannot escape. There is a large group of people who will be able to get rid of it. The Dangxiang people are not far away. We will hurry up and catch up with their brigade. Killing those defeated soldiers is the real military merit!"

Everyone said that they followed Wu Fengchen, bypassed the Dangxiang Zhongjun and headed south.

Not long after walking, I saw fires shining everywhere in the Dangxiang military camp ahead. Seeing that the Dangxiang soldiers did not escape, but instead guarded the military camp, Wu Fengchen was shocked and hurriedly hid in the dark shadows on the side with his subordinates. He whispered: "Are the large number of Dangxiang people gathering here? Are you trying to kill our pursuers? Hit aside first and see what exactly!"

After careful observation, I saw that the soldiers in the Dangxiang military camp neither lined up or fled, but gathered in piles, not knowing what to do. After observing for a long time, it was confusing.

Wu Fengchen said to his personal soldiers around him: "The military tent is far away, and there are only three people in front of the tent. You and I quietly went over with you, captured these three people, and asked them for confessions. These party members are weird in their behavior and have to be cautious!"

After saying that, he took a few personal soldiers and quietly touched them from the dark shadow. He saw three soldiers of Dangxiang sitting next to the fire in front of the tent. The nearest one was dozing with his legs in his arms, the other was staring at the moon in the sky, and the other was bored and fiddling with the fire.

Wu Fengchen signaled that the two personal soldiers were on the side to guard the other side, and took the two of them and quietly stepped forward. When they got close, they unexpectedly threw the nearest soldiers to the nearest soldiers and covered their mouths with their hands. The other two personal soldiers stepped forward, pulled out their waists and pointed at the chests of the other two soldiers. They raised their swords and were about to stab them, but they saw the two soldiers raised their arms and looked at them.

Wu Fengchen said in a deep voice: "Catch the living, take them away together!"

The personal soldiers followed the order and stepped forward, cut the two Dangxiang soldiers with their arms raised, covered their mouths, and followed Wu Fengchen. The three Dangxiang soldiers did not resist at all, and did not say a word, and were taken to their own suspension by Wu Fengchen and the other two in the dark.

When he arrived at the place, Wu Fengchen pulled the person in his hand to the ground and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why don't you escape?"

The people on the ground said, "Who are you? Why do you want to arrest us?"

What happened tonight was particularly strange, which made Wu Fengchen upset. He couldn't help but kick and said, "Grandpa is the leader of the Song army, and he is here to chase the defeated soldiers! You guys, you don't escape after being cannoned, why are you staying here for what to do!"

The man said, "We are the soldiers from the centenary gathering. The master is the main soldier and is in the front military camp. How can we dare to escape without military orders?"

Wu Fengchen was stunned and hurriedly asked his personal soldiers to push the other two people over, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you auxiliary soldiers too? Is the master there?"

The two soldiers of the Party Xiang said together that they were.

Wu Fengchen heard the sound of a sharp voice and stepped forward to ask carefully, but found that one of them was a woman and the other was a teenage child.

The whole people of Dangxiang are soldiers, and a man who is over 15 years old will be reborn. It is not surprising that the child looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old. There are women or soldiers in the army, which Wu Fengchen has never seen or even heard of.

Under the moonlight, seeing that the woman was over 20 years old, she looked ordinary and not beautiful, she also said she was ugly. Wu Fengchen said, "You are a woman, why are you still in the army? Dangxiang is so unbearable, are you going to let the woman join the army?"

The woman said, "I only have a couple, and a five-year-old child is under my belt. The king ordered the troops and horses. Unfortunately, my husband was in a cold weather and couldn't get up in bed, so he had to join the army. Our Xiang people in the Party are not like you Han people, so it's not a strange thing for women to join the army."

Wu Fengchen couldn't believe his own ears after hearing this. The Han people also had women joining the army, either in the extremely special situation of the Detachment of Women in the Tang Dynasty, or in the country and the family were destroyed, and women and children joined together. But in the peaceful years, there were occasional wars, and women joined the army, and they had never encountered it.

After careful inquiry, I found out that Dangxiang had to join the army when ordering the market, otherwise he would have to hire someone instead. This woman's family was originally a slave household, and she had no money to hire people, so she had to come on her own. She felt it was strange, but she had little knowledge. Dangxiang used women instead of soldiers in many places. Even in Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain, there were fixed-staffed villages on the front line of the Song Dynasty.

Wu Fengchen didn't worry about these things and asked, "Are many of the troops in the military camp over there, are they auxiliary soldiers like you?"

The woman nodded: "Not an auxiliary soldier, who is willing to stay here? We have no master's military order. If we are separated, we will be severely punished when we go back."

Wu Fengchen understood a little that these people did not want to escape, but did not dare to escape. The soldiers were people with status, and if the war was not good, they would escape. Some auxiliary soldiers came temporarily, and it would be fine if they ran away. Only this group of people were slaves from other people. When they ordered the group, they were auxiliary soldiers of the master. Without the orders from the master, they dared not escape. If they were separated, they might be severely punished by the master when they went back, and they might even have their lives.

Looking at the military camp over there, there were many campfires lit in it, all around the fire, and I don’t know where to go. Wu Fengchen said, “I’m afraid there are not thousands of people here. Since I meet them, I can’t let them go. You are here, so I will take a few personal soldiers back to report to the general. As long as a few hundred soldiers come, you can capture these people. In the war, thousands of people were captured, and the results of this battle are quite great!”

After passing the battle, Du Zhongxiao ordered more prisoners to be captured, which was different from the previous battles. These were not regular soldiers, but were Dangxiang soldiers after all.

Dou Shunqing came down from the watchtower and was watching the battle report in the commander's tent. Wu Fengchen came in and said with his hands: "Cathing Captain Wu Fengchen, have you seen the general!"

Dou Shunqing said: "No need to be polite. You said you have important military information reports, so what's wrong?"

Wu Fengchen said, "General, the last general led the team to pursue the defeated Dangxiang soldiers. He went to the military camp behind them. Seeing that many soldiers there did not flee south or lined up, it was very unusual. After capturing several Dangxiang soldiers, they found out that there were tents at the rear of Dangxiang, and putting baggage and so on. The guards were all auxiliary soldiers. Because the main soldiers fled, they did not dare to leave without military orders. These people were just filling in the army, many of them did not even have military weapons and did some chores. They could neither fight nor have the will to fight. They could only capture thousands of people back."

After hearing this, Dou Shunqing looked up and said, "Do you see it correctly? Many people from the military camp there reported several teams. The military situation was urgent, and they all went around to pursue the defeated soldiers without checking them in detail. If it was as you said, the result of this battle would be great."

Wu Fengchen crossed his hands: "I will ask clearly and I hope to guarantee it with my head!"

Dou Shunqing waved his hand: "If we don't talk about this in the army, what kind of mandate guarantee orders is strictly prohibited! In this way, I will allocate a thousand soldiers here and go to the Dangxiang military camp to capture those people. If you follow the command of the Lu commander, if you catch them, you will make great contributions!"

After saying that, he ordered his personal soldiers to summon the commander Lu, asking him to take his troops and horses to the Dangxiang military camp in front, and capture all the auxiliary soldiers of Dangxiang. At the same time, he cleaned the Dangxiang military camp, captured the prisoners, and brought back the supplies, without waiting for dawn.

After leaving the commander's tent, the commander Lu asked Wu Fengchen: "Everything you said is true? The two armies were fighting, but they had not heard that the brigade had fled, and those who were escorting the baggage did not dare to escape. The auxiliary soldiers were not as good as the regular soldiers. Shouldn't they run earlier?"

Wu Fengchen said: "Dangxiang is different from our army. They have auxiliary soldiers in addition to the regular soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers in Helan Mountain who were gathered this time were mostly regular soldiers slaves, and they were not allowed to order the regular soldiers and did not dare to escape. The military horses, camels, and food and supplies they watched were all the property of the regular soldiers. They ran away and threw these things away. How could the regular soldiers spare them after the war? This was the first time I encountered this kind of thing, but I felt it was strange."

When fighting head-on, the auxiliary soldiers do not go to the battlefield and are responsible for serving the main soldiers. They are tired of the front and horses. After winning, they are robbed, and they are used to loot everywhere with the main soldiers. The wealth they rob are from the main soldiers, but the main soldiers will reward the auxiliary soldiers according to the situation. There are even a few auxiliary soldiers who are not slaves, and they can also rob foreign households as slaves.

In the previous few battles, the Song army did not encounter a large number of auxiliary soldiers. This was the first time. Unlike other places, Helan Mountain has a wealth of households under its jurisdiction. There were few main soldiers and many auxiliary soldiers, and most of the auxiliary soldiers were slaves of the main soldiers.

Listening to Wu Fengchen introducing the situation ahead, Commander Lu was ready to go. Unexpectedly, after firing a few shots, he scared away the Dangxiang people, captured so many prisoners, and obtained a lot of livestock supplies. The battle was really easy.
