Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Chapter 455 Guerrilla Warfare

But now the other party has escaped and fled into the Yulin Mountains.

This is a bit difficult to handle.

If Wutuhu had only brought a few thousand men, he could have led them in and quietly wiped them out.

But now the enemy has tens of thousands of troops behind them, and his one or two thousand men are simply not enough.

Yang Sanlang stood silently for a while, then looked up at the distant Yulin Mountain. After that, he said to his men, "Go back to Yuncheng now and find General Zhang Liang. Ask him to find a way to bring people over."

The one or two thousand men he brought were immediately unhappy when they heard that Yang Sanlang wanted them to stay behind.

"General, you mustn't! The enemy outnumbers us. If we all leave, how can you possibly defeat that Wutuhu by yourself? No, no, we can't leave you here alone."

"That's right, General, what you're doing is too dangerous. Either you come back with us, or you let us stay with you."

"Yes, yes, those bastards under Wutuhu are no match for us. Let's use guerrilla tactics against them and wipe them out sooner or later."

His one or two thousand men all said they wouldn't leave him alone here, but Yang Sanlang had his own plans.

His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a somewhat serious tone, "This is a military order, and you must obey me."

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm not staying to fight Wutuhu to the death. The more of us stay, the greater the chance of being discovered by the enemy. So, you all leave now and go back to get reinforcements. I'll leave marks along the way, and you can follow the marks to find people in the mountains."

"Besides, who among you here has better lightness skills than me? As long as I want to hide, I'm not afraid of that Wutuhu finding me."

Seeing that Yang Sanlang's attitude was firm, his subordinates knew that there was no point in arguing any further, so some of them finally agreed to compromise.

"Alright, General, you must protect yourself. We will be here with men soon."

"General, take care."

Yang Sanlang curled the corners of his lips and waved to them with a faint smile.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

So, the one or two thousand men who had come with Yang Sanlang secretly went to Yuncheng to fetch reinforcements.

After they had all left, Yang Sanlang lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped into the Yulin Mountains.

He was alone and deliberately concealed his whereabouts, so the soldiers scattered throughout the mountains and forests under Wutuhu did not notice him at all.

After searching for a long time in the direction Wutuhu had fled, Yang Sanlang finally found Wutuhu's whereabouts in the dead of night.

He hid in a large tree, looking down at the wide open space opposite.

Wutuhu and his trusted men temporarily encamped on a flat area near a stream.

Inside the main tent, Wutuhu, upon hearing the report from his scouts, slammed his fist on the table in front of him in anger.

"Damn it, they cheated! We've wasted our chance to attack the city!"

It's such a pity.

If they hold out for another day or two, they will be able to take over Yuncheng!

His trusted lieutenant general couldn't help but sigh with regret: "Yes, we were about to take Yuncheng. Once we took Yuncheng, it would be as if the entire Jinzhou was now vacant. Unfortunately, it's too late now..."

If Wutuhu had been able to withstand the pressure and lead a counterattack when the reinforcements suddenly attacked their camp, they might have easily defeated them.

However, Wutuhu was frightened at the time and ran away when he encountered danger, and ran into the deep mountains and forests.

Yuncheng is still firmly in Zu Lei's hands, and he even has some reinforcements.

Zu Lei has already sent his trusted men south. If they don't take Yuncheng before the enemy's reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult for them to conquer Yuncheng.

Thinking of this, Wutuhu's trusted adjutant couldn't help but persuade him: "General, it's not too late for us to rush back to attack Yuncheng tonight. The reinforcements that have come this time number only ten or twenty thousand, which is not enough to pose a threat to us. General, why don't we go back now?"

Wu Tu Hu raised his hand and rubbed his face haphazardly. He leaned back with his heavy body and said wearily, "No, no, everyone has been running all night. We're exhausted. Going back now would be suicide. We need to think this over carefully."

The trusted lieutenant immediately looked anxious and uneasy.

"General, Zu Lei has already sent men south to seek reinforcements. If we don't take Yun City soon, we'll never be able to take it again."

The general's strategy in warfare is all about speed. How could the general not understand that?

How could Wutuhu not understand?

He knew perfectly well that turning back now and taking Yuncheng in one fell swoop was the best course of action, but the thought of the inexplicable danger that might come filled him with fear.

It was a fear that came from the bottom of one's heart.

He felt he was being targeted by a hunter, and now he was the prey.

Wutuhu waved his hand at his subordinates, saying impatiently, "Stop talking, listen to me, now hurry up and go rest."

He also needs to use this rest period to think carefully about what to do next.

Wutuhu's tent was surrounded by layers of soldiers, and the surrounding area was flat ground with no obstructions.

For Yang Sanlang to approach Wutuhu's tent unnoticed was harder than climbing to heaven.

Unable to get close, he had no choice but to hide in the branches of a large tree and wait for an opportunity.

……

Zhang Liang, Yu Hao, and the others followed the hoofprints eastward and happened to meet up with one or two thousand soldiers who had turned back halfway there.

Upon learning that Yang Sanlang had followed Wutuhu's army into the deep mountains alone, Zhang Liang and Yu Hao were immediately anxious, as if they were being chased by a ghost, and immediately led their men eastward in pursuit.

Following the marks left by Yang Sanlang, they finally found him just before dawn.

Yu Hao hugged Yang Sanlang and said quickly, "Brother Yang, I've finally found you! You have no idea how worried I was when I heard you stayed behind to chase Wutuhu."

If something were to happen to Yang Sanlang, he would not only be letting down the Emperor who was far away in the capital, but he would also be letting down Zhao Yan.

Therefore, none of them can be harmed.

Yang Sanlang patted Yu Hao's shoulder twice to reassure him: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Zhang Liang asked from the side, "How's it going? Any progress with Wutuhu? What do you suggest we do?"

Yang Sanlang picked up a tree branch and drew a rough outline of Wutuhu's position on the ground. Then he said to Zhang Liang and Yu Hao, "Look, this is Wutuhu's main tent, surrounded by his men. It's obviously unlikely that we can break through the encirclement."

"Therefore, I think we can use a feint to the east while attacking the west, and slowly wear down the enemy's manpower."

If Zhao Yan heard this, she would definitely say, "Isn't this just guerrilla warfare?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded.

"Yes, I think this method is feasible."
