In the face of the rain of arrows of the Wei army, the Hun cavalry was frightened, although most of them were equipped with shields, but the cavalry on the horse, it was not convenient to use the kind of oversized and heavy rectangular shield, they used the kind of round smaller shield, the protective area was not too large.

Due to the dense rain of arrows and the limited protection ability of the Hun cavalry, many Hun soldiers were still shot by arrows during the attack.

And the greater loss comes from the war horse, although the war horse has rough skin and thick flesh, one or two arrows can barely support, but the arrow rain is so dense that many war horses can be hit by more than one arrow, suffer too many arrows or are shot at the vital point, the war horse will not be able to support and fall to the ground.

People turned over on their horses, almost became a nightmare for the Hun cavalry, in this short land of one stone, I don't know how many Hun soldiers and horses were lost, and there were corpses all over the way.

However, this section of the road is relatively short after all, and the Wei army's archers can only shoot two or three arrows at best, and the Hun cavalry can rush to the front of the battle, once the Wei army's pikemen enter the engagement, the Wei army's archers will no longer work.

Therefore, the cavalry lost during the charge only accounted for a small part of the Hun cavalry, and most of the cavalry still rushed to the front.

However, they were not equipped with the kind of spear throwing weapons like the Yue cavalry battalion, nor were they equipped with relatively long bayonet guns, so there were shortcomings in dealing with the spear formation.

The Hun cavalry weapons are not good, they can only rely on the impact speed of the war horse to try to tear apart the Wei army's defense line, but the spear in the hands of the Wei army's pikemen is not vegetarian, the Hun cavalry just rushed to the front, several spears stabbed at him in unison, and the people and horses were poked violently, and the Hun cavalry and the war horse immediately had a few more blood holes, and even the people and horses were stabbed to death by random guns.

More Hun cavalry pounced, and they tried to rely on the tactics of crowds to destroy the Wei army's spear defense, and the battle between the two sides entered a stalemate, and the fighting continued......

Deng Ai led the Yue cavalry battalion all the way to the north, and stopped at a place about ten miles away from Puzi County, which was already more than 100 miles away from Xiliulin, Deng Ai ordered to slow down the speed of the march and walk slowly.

Puzi County was already a pile of ruins, an empty city, Deng Ai was not worth going there, he led the army just around Puzi City, looking up at the sky from time to time, waiting for the wolf smoke to rise.

The weather these days is quite good, the blue sky is like a wash, even the wind is no longer troublesome, and the wind is blowing, soft and pleasant.

Such weather conditions have no effect on the release of wolf smoke. According to the prior agreement, as soon as the Huns were dispatched, Cao Liang would notify him in the form of wolf smoke.

If the weather conditions do not allow it, Cao Liang has already arranged for a fast horse to deliver the news, although it is not as good as wolf smoke in terms of timeliness, but it is also one of the two methods that can be used at present.

Deng Ai kept staring at the sky, not daring to relax for a moment, the entire Yue cavalry battalion was already fully prepared, people do not take off their armor, horses do not leave the saddle, as long as the message from the Xiliulin side, the Yue cavalry battalion will rush to the aid without hesitation.

Deng Ai naturally knows best what the combat strength of the three infantry battalions is, after all, when recruiting soldiers, the recruits recruited by the three battalions were trained by Deng Ai.

According to Cao Liang's requirements for elite soldiers, there is naturally nothing to say about the quality of this batch of soldiers, and even the quality of the soldiers exceeds that of the fifth battalion of the Wei Central Army.

However, recruits are recruits after all, and the army is a fighting collective, so no matter how strong the ability of individual soldiers is, if there is a problem in coordination and coordination, the combat effectiveness of the army will still not be able to be improved.

Due to the short training time, it is still relatively difficult for the three infantry battalions to form a combat joint force, and since this will be the first time that the three infantry battalions will fight, the lack of experience may be the most fatal.

Therefore, Deng Ai did not dare to slack off at all, as long as there was a situation on the Xiliulin side, he had to rush back as soon as possible.

Deng Ai's wait did not go on like this, when a thick black smoke rose from the southern sky, Deng Ai saw it at first sight, and he decisively ordered all the cavalry battalions to mount their horses and gallop south.

The distance of 100 miles is indeed not too close, when Huan Fan designed it, he took into account the thoughts of the Huns, if the Yue cavalry battalion and the main force were too close, it would be difficult to lure Liu Yuelai.

It is impossible for Liu Yue not to know that the division of troops by the Wei army may be a trap, but it is precisely because the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion are a hundred miles away, so Liu Yue is ready to take a risk to fight and eat the three infantry battalions of the Wei army in one fell swoop before the Wei cavalry returns.

The Huns either did not attack this time, but if they wanted to attack, they would definitely go all out, and they wanted to fight as quickly as possible, so there was no doubt that the battle on the side of Xiliulin was extremely fierce, and Cao Liang and the third battalion of infantry would inevitably be under great pressure.

This required Deng Ai and Shi Bao to rush back as fast as possible to relieve the pressure on the third battalion of infantry.

Of course, the Tun cavalry battalion led by Shi Bao is also a new recruit, and its combat effectiveness is average, so the heavy responsibility is actually on the shoulders of Deng Ai alone, and only the Yue Cavalry Battalion, a team with rich combat experience and outstanding strength, has the strength to defeat the Hun cavalry.

The speed of the cavalry camp is not slow, according to Deng Ai's plan, a hundred miles of road, at most it will take five or six hours to arrive, he secretly thought, I hope the infantry can resist for so long, right?

According to the conventions of the art of war, the Huns launched an attack on Xiliulin, and they would inevitably set up troops on the periphery to send reinforcements to block the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion from approaching Xiliulin.

Therefore, Deng Ai was always on alert along the way, ready to fight at any time, and he was almost sure that the Huns would definitely block the Yuecai camp on the way back, but Deng Ai was a little unsure of the specific position.

After several hours of galloping, the Yuecai camp looked a little tired, and when passing through an unknown barren mountain, Deng Ai ordered the Yuecai camp to suspend its advance, camp on the spot, and bury the pot to cook. After all, this way, the Yue cavalry battalion has not yet eaten, seeing that it is not far from Xiliulin, and there will be a fierce battle in the future, Deng Ai decided to let the Yue cavalry eat enough before going on the road, and then rushed to Xiliulin in one go.

But at this moment, a team of men and horses suddenly came out from behind the mountain and killed them.
