The snow finally stopped, and the whistling wind gradually faded away, which was originally a good thing for the Gou Yi Department that had advanced against the wind and snow, but Gou Yi was depressed to the extreme at this time, and in the middle of the retreat, he received the news that two Han cavalry suddenly appeared on the left and right sides of his infantry team, and under the attack of tens of thousands of cavalry, his infantry was either killed in battle or taken prisoner, and there were few people who could escape.

The speculation was confirmed, but Gou Yi preferred that he guessed wrong, now, he only has the more than 4,000 cavalry left with him, in the battle of Maoer Mountain, he lost hundreds of cavalry, and now he just wants to be able to escape back to Hangu Pass with these thousands of cavalry, although this comes to mind, I am afraid that it can only be a luxury.

He turned halfway, Lubin could not go back, the road to where was now certainly full of the opponent's cavalry, and with the familiarity of the terrain, he led his troops to make a big bend, ready to cross the Mao'er River, and then set out for Hangu Pass. Although there are a lot of detours, the Han army is new to the road, or they don't know that there is a section in the middle of the Maoer River that is completely passable.

The Mao'er River can be regarded as a river in summer, and the width of the river is dozens of zhang, but in winter, it has entered the dry season, the water level is extremely low, and the riverbed is even exposed in some places, coupled with the cold weather, the remaining water is also frozen, which can basically accommodate the cavalry to pass, because even if the river ice is broken, that bit of ice water cannot become an obstacle for the cavalry to pass.

When you came, you were full of confidence, and you wanted to make a contribution, and you wanted to completely incorporate the territory of these counties of Xizhao into the territory of Daqin, but you were calculating others, and others were not calculating you, calculating and calculating, but in the end, it was still the Han people who were better at chess, not only calculating Xizhao, but also tens of thousands of soldiers of Daqin in the land of Xizhao.

Gou Yi's heart was full of bitterness, and he had officially fought with the Han people several times, the earliest time, under the leadership of General Lu. The Qin army won a complete victory, and the Han general Naha died on the battlefield, which was one of the few victories between the Qin army and the Han people, and because Naha was the first senior Han general to die in battle. This battle was even more talked about by the Qin army. But since then, the Qin army seems to have gone on a bad luck path, and the Han army has fought against each other, all of which ended in failure, the worst of which was Li Xinbing's letter to Guguan two years ago. Wang Xiao went to Shannan County, at the beginning, Feng Fayong, the highest military commander of the Han army in Shannan County, was killed, refreshing the level of senior generals killed by the Han army, but the subsequent war made the Qin army almost wiped out, Wang Xiao's 50,000 horses and finally 30,000 people were forced to flee into the desert, and they lost contact, Li Xin's tens of thousands of troops were wiped out on the prairie, Wang Xiao. The death of Li Xin's two great generals caused the Qin army to suffer the heaviest blow.

Can you survive this today?

The horse's hooves stepped on the soft snowflakes, and the person sitting on the horse would feel more relaxed, and there would be a lot less bumps, but an old cavalryman knew that such a road would have a greater loss of horsepower, and every step of the horse would take a lot of effort. Experienced veterans have thrown away everything except what is necessary for battle, in order to reduce some weight and allow the horses to conserve more physical strength, and the cavalry fights. The quality of the war horse is also one of the decisive factors.

The quality of the Qin army's horses was inferior to that of the Huns, not to mention the fighting skills on horses, and the cavalry tactics used by the Han army to defeat the Donghu people were now also experimented with in the Qin army, but the effect was not good. The kind of overwhelming impact of the Han army with the strength of the group, no matter how the Qin army practiced, could not meet the ideal requirements.

There is actually a key factor here, when He Lanyan trained these cavalry, she eliminated all the soldiers who were excellent in equestrian skills, but what was left behind were some guys who looked mediocre to ordinary people, and then reached that level through rigorous training, while the Qin army chose cavalry, but it was to select those soldiers whose riding skills were obviously higher than others, and sometimes, it was not the people with better skills who got together, and the combat level became an increase in the trend. These people together, or individually, are indeed very powerful, but in team combat, the most feared thing is individual heroism.

The Qin army can't know this secret, which means that it is impossible for them to train a cavalry under the command of Helan Yan back then, in fact, now, the Xiongnu ** cavalry division, the Donghu ** cavalry division, and the black-clothed cavalry used by Helan Yan at the beginning, this cavalry led by Gongsun Yi Luolei and others is absolutely unique among the Han cavalry, and they are all mediocre when pulled out individually, but when combined they will become a terrifying army.

In the words of Hanwang Gaoyuan, this is the strength of a close-knit team that absolutely believes in each other.

The thoughtful hook suddenly strangled the war horse under his crotch, the hairs on his body stood on end, and suddenly a strong sense of danger filled his body for no reason, this is the intuition of a veteran who has experienced a hundred battles, and it is the most intuitive sixth sense of danger for people who have survived life and death again and again.

As Gou Yi stopped advancing, thousands of cavalry also stopped. In order to cover his whereabouts, Gouyi's cavalry of thousands of people did not light torches, and all of them were advancing in the dark, even if some horses and men were lost because of this, Gouyi was not a pity, but now, what kind of danger is hidden in the darkness ahead?

In the darkness in the distance, a wisp of spark rose from the ground steeply with a sharp whistling sound, soared into the sky, snapped, and bloomed in the air like a gorgeous and colorful flower, and with the bloom of this bright flower, rockets were shot out of the darkness, and in the midst of a loud sound, a pile of bonfires that had been prepared for a long time with the help of grease ignited a skyrocketing fire.

In the firelight, a large banner waving in the night sky flashed in front of Gouyi's eyes. The most conspicuous thing is the particularly wide Yellow Dragon Banner in the middle, just glanced at the embroidered edge of the Yellow Dragon Banner, Gou Yi's mind exploded with a bang, and King Gao Yuan of Han actually drove the expedition in person and appeared here in person.

The fire was still spreading to both sides, the middle, far away on the other side of the Mao'er River, the two closest wings, separated by themselves, only a distance of Lish, a half-arc of firelight was slowly extending into an encirclement, surrounding the thousands of cavalry of Gouyi in the middle.

Gou Yi swallowed bitterly, he calculated and lost again, yes, Xizhao has surrendered to the Han Kingdom, then, how can the other party not be clear about the terrain in this area, the opponent has calculated that he will break through from here, so he is waiting for himself here in advance.

"Those who descend will not be killed!" Not far away, the banner of the Yellow Dragon of the Han army let out a loud shout, and then one after another, the Han cavalry waved the weapons in their hands, repeating these four words like thunder.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

Gou Yi lifted his spear and raised it high forward, and behind him, the Qin cavalry made the same move, unlike the Huns and Donghu who were good at using scimitars, they all used spears.

"Kill!" Gou Yi roared angrily, this was his response to not killing those who surrendered.

The sound of hooves rumbled, and thousands of cavalry rushed towards the direction of the Mao'er River, where there was a yellow dragon banner, under which there was the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty, the Han King Gao Yuan.

Almost at the same time that Gou Yi began to charge desperately, the Han cavalry on both flanks also moved, like two red-hot tongs, stabbing into the two flanks of the Qin cavalry.

Gao Yuan rode on Zi Dian, staring at the two sides in front of him who were fighting fiercely, Zi Deng under his crotch was excitedly shaving his hooves, snorting constantly, don't turn his head from time to time, rubbing Gao Yuan's legs with his huge horse head, it wants to charge, wants to fight. However, Gao Yuan was destined not to go, because by Gao Yuan's side, his personal guard commander did not pay attention to everything on the battlefield, but stared at Gao Yuan's body tightly with a pair of eyes, one hand hanging by the reins of Zidian at all times, ready to hold the reins of Zidian at any time. And directly in front of Gao Yuan, the accompanying guards cavalry had already blocked his front tightly.

Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and stroked Zidian's head, as the King of Han, he was afraid that he had been insulated from fighting on the battlefield, just looking at He Weiyuan's style, he knew that before he traveled, I don't know how many people had looked for him, and the heaviest among them must be Jing'er.

When Helan Yan shouted to kill, she quietly began to move to the side, beside Gao Yuan, she would definitely not be able to fight, as long as she acted, He Weiyuan's stinky boy shouted, Gao Yuan's guards would definitely block themselves to death, but as long as they left this range, who would have to control themselves? Looking at the guy who came and went in the firelight, wearing a devil's face in a heroic manner, He Lanyan felt that her hands were itchy, this woman, marching or arranging the formation, was stronger than herself, but when it came to fighting alone, she could completely torture and kill her.

As soon as she moved two steps, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of her and grabbed the reins of her horse, Helan Yan couldn't help but be furious when she saw the person who stopped her, "Sula, are you going to rebel?" ”

Sula cried with a sad face, "Princess, before I came, the eldest lady personally came to warn me, saying that if you sneak into the battlefield again, you will break my ass when you go back, and your task is to stand by the king's side and protect the king's safety." ”

Helan Yan was so angry that her teeth itched, "Sula, you are my girl, not the eldest lady's girl, you also believe these words, believe it or not, I will beat your ass now, get out of the way, I want to have a good time, I haven't fought in a year or two." ”

He Lanyan, who was wielding a horse whip, forced away Sura who was crying and mourning, holding a scimitar in one hand and a horse whip in the other, suddenly rushed down the river embankment, crossed the river, and rushed to the place where the battle was most intense. (To be continued.) )
