Cavalry, before the invention of long-range rapid-fire weapons, has always been the king of the plains, but it does not mean that more than two hundred horsemen can unscrupulously attack the battle formation that has been assembled, and the previous Han army posture was at least a thousand people, and it is not a smart choice to rush into the attack, since there is a chance to win with smaller losses, so why take the lives of his subordinates in vain?

After all, the torch is not an everlasting lamp, and after burning for a while, it slowly becomes smaller and extinguished, and both sides of the stalemate in the field are plunged into the night. The commander of the Xianbei Thousand Cavalry secretly sent people forward several times, but the people sent out either screamed or didn't even scream, as if he was devoured by the demons in the night, so that he didn't dare to act in the end, so he had to try to stare at those figures in the dark, waiting for reinforcements from the big boss.

But the result of waiting almost made the Xianbei Qianqi rider lose his head.

In autumn, under the gradual arrival of the footsteps of the Xiaoice River period, the fog in the early morning seemed to be thicker, although the sky was gradually bright, but the vision was still not clear, and when the big pawn arrived with the army, the Xianbei cavalry commander breathed a sigh of relief.

The big man naturally had a lot of manpower, so he immediately transferred several hundred-person teams to outflank the reconnaissance, but it didn't take too long for the people who went to investigate to come back with an object in tow......

After a few simple questions, the big pawn couldn't suppress his anger, and directly turned around and slapped the horsewhip in the face of the commander, and immediately whipped the commander of the horseman's flesh and blood: "Idiot! That's what you idiot kept watch over all night! Blind your dog's eyes! ”

When the Xianbei rider saw the straw pole tied to the human shape on the ground, he didn't care about the sharp pain on his face and the blood flowing down, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The big pawn closed his eyes, forcibly held back the jumping at the corners of his head and forehead, and the blood vessels that seemed to be about to burst beat, and after taking a few deep breaths, he barely calmed down a little of the burning anger in his heart, opened his eyes and kicked down the commander who was kneeling at his side, and said with a hideous face: "Go and take your people, chase me!" If you can't find any trace of the dog, you'll never have to come back......"

Yes, no matter what, although the Han people have run away now, the traces of those horses will not disappear for a while, whether it is the horseshoe prints, or the weeds on the roadside that the horses subconsciously gnaw, or one or two pieces of horse manure, in the grassland, it looks like a shining imprint, guiding the direction of the horses.

And in that direction, there must have been an army of Han Chinese......

××××××××××××××

In the second half of last night, in fact, while cleaning up the scouts quietly sent out by the Xianbei people, Huang Chengcheng was already arranging for the personnel to retreat gradually, and he only brought five hundred people, as long as he left the cover of the night, or took the initiative to attack, then even if there were only one or two hundred horsemen on the opposite side, it would definitely reveal flaws.

Besides, once it gets entangled, although there are one or two hundred cavalry on the opposite side for the time being, it is not far from the Xianbei camp, what if there are Xianbei reinforcements from behind?

Therefore, after a period of confrontation, when the fog gradually rose in the second half of the night, it was the best time for him to retreat.

So Huang Chengcheng left those dummies with torches and retreated quietly in batches.

About sixty or seventy miles away from the south of Pingding County, there is a river, called the Kuye River, on the south side of the Kuye River, on the remains of the Great Wall left by the former Qin.

The Great Wall was not built by Qin Shi Huang, but was built much earlier.

During the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, Qin defeated Wei and seized the territory of Xihe County and Shangjun of Wei, but these two territories were bordered by Linhu and Loufu in the north at that time, and in order to prevent the Hu people from invading south, they ordered the construction of a walled city. Then, the Qin Dynasty attacked the Hu people's Yiqu on a large scale, made them subjugated, and placed the northern border of the Qin State to meet the Xiongnu. In order to prevent the Hu people in Mobei from plundering southward, King Qin Zhao ordered the construction of the Great Wall on the northern borders of Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun, and sent troops to garrison it.

Later, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was still the maintenance of these Warring States Great Walls, but with Liu Xiuding's capital Luoyang, the political and economic center of the entire Han Dynasty moved eastward, resulting in the threat of the Hu people to the national capital is not so big, which naturally led to the fact that these original protection and early warning facilities were gradually not taken seriously, and even many counties in the north of the state were finally abandoned, and these Great Walls lost their meaning of existence.

After Huang Cheng joined Ma Yan and Xu Huang, he came here with the abducted Xianbei war horse.

Although the area of Pingding County belongs to the unique folded terrain of the Loess Plateau, but millions of years of rain erosion and riverbed diversion, but together with the big river to form a relatively special geographical shape, although there is no problem in going around in the folds of these Loess Plateau, but if you want to go south, there are only three routes that can be provided for the army to travel.

The other roads are not impossible, but one is difficult, and the other is not supported by water sources, and it is simply suicidal to have to march for a long time in the wilderness.

Therefore, it is necessary to go all the way from Binh Dinh to the east, directly across the big river, and then turn to the south, but then it will be a little far from Beiqu; Either from the flat to the south, there are two rivers that can supply the army, a cave river and a bald tail river.

The Balwei River is further south of the Kuye River, so as long as Xianbei chooses to go south, it must pass through the Kuye River first......

The sixty-mile road may take more than a day for ordinary marching troops or baggage soldiers, but for Huang Cheng and others, who have just turned over a lot of Xianbei war horses, it is not too much of a problem.

Huang Cheng looked around and said with some regret: "If these city walls are intact, a lot of things can be saved......

Ma Yan also watched, then nodded, and said, "What, the Xianbei people should chase after them, right?" ”

Huang Cheng said with some certainty: "Almost, it should be, right?" ”

Xu Huang, who was often silent on the side, suddenly said at this time: "I will definitely come!" Then he slowly explained in the eyes of Huang Cheng and Ma Yan, "If we are defeated head-on, maybe we won't come, but ......"

Huang Cheng and Ma Yan glanced at each other, and suddenly laughed tacitly.

That's right, whoever is beaten up by a robber may not dare to go to the robber again without finding help; But what's interesting is that when you find that you have been stolen by a thief, most people will subconsciously catch it......
