Bai Qi led a tall and strong war horse, slowly combed the horse's hair with a horse brush, the war horse snorted a few times very comfortably, Bai Qi took Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong from Dongyu City a few days ago and arrived at Mayi.

Ma Yi now has more than 2,800 large and small war horses, these are only breeding horses, and those that the cavalry has begun to ride are not counted.

"General!"

Yu Chigong carried the bucket and came to Bai Qi with a smile.

"How? Are you still comfortable staying here? Bai Qi asked.

"It's okay, it's just that the wind and sand are a little big!"

Yu Chigong put the bucket in front of the horse, and said to Bai Qi, Yu Chigong actually likes it here, riding a war horse on the grassland during the day, chic and casual.

At night, a bonfire was lit, the little lamb was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the oil was bubbling out, and then a big bowl of the strongest wine in Yanzhou, how happy this little day was!

It's a pity that there is a lack of a little lady at night...

"Dashuai, I will go to inspect outside the city at the end of tomorrow, it is best to meet a team of Hu people, so as to stretch my muscles and bones, my bones will be rusty in the next few days!" Yu Chigong stretched his arms, his bones creaked, for a martial artist like Yu Chigong, it was uncomfortable to fight every day!

"Then you go to Qin Qiong, he is very happy to fight you!" Bai Qi also smiled.

"That's right, Lao Qin's martial arts..."

"Report!"

The appearance of a sentry interrupted the conversation between the two, and the two looked over, and the sentry turned over and dismounted and said to Bai Qi: "Great marshal, General Qin has found a group of Hu people in the north of Yi, about a thousand horsemen!" ”

Today is Qin Qiong's inspection.

Bai Qi listened to it, and he was not ambiguous, and immediately ordered: "Wei Chigong, immediately gather soldiers and horses, and go out of the village with a certain person!" ”

Wei Chigong arched his hand and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

It's really sleepy, someone will send a pillow, and Wei Chigong's fingers are snapping, so let these Hu people see how powerful Wei Chigong is!

The army that Bai Qi is now gathering in Mayi has a total of 1,200 horsemen, 2,500 ordinary cavalry (only one horse per horse, and now it is not possible to do one person and two horsemen}, and 2,000 infantry. 5,700 in all. The food supply mainly depends on Dongyu City, and the forage for the war horses is that the generals take turns to lead the war horses to graze outside, and slowly reserve the horse feed needed in winter.

All the horses were driven into the wall, the gate was closed, and all the foot soldiers, under the command of Zhou Dao, went up to the wall, gōng nǔ wound, and prepared to defend the city.

And all the cavalry troops also went out of the walled gate under the command of Bai Qi and went straight to the north of Mayi.

"Catch them, kill!"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a thousand Hu people held scimitars, chasing and killing more than a dozen hào people not far ahead.

Qin Qiong clenched the long lance in his hand tightly, and did not panic at all, he had seen a bigger scene, not to mention a thousand Hu people.

Qin Qiong can turn around and go back now, rush to kill for a while, and then evacuate safely, but that makes no sense, Qin Qiong wants to wipe out these thousand Hu people, Qin Qiong has taken a fancy to the war horses under the seat of these Hu people,

For more than a year, the development of Ma Yi was actually very rapid, but all the war horses added up to only 6,500 horses, and most of them were obtained by sweeping the surrounding small tribes, but then they did not lead the army deep into the grassland, the grassland is endless, if there is no familiar guide, it is fatal to lose your way in the grassland.

Bai Qi's soldiers and horses are limited, and if he encounters a large tribe that cannot be completely annihilated, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Hu people, and according to Liu De's meaning, it is Taoguang to raise obscurity and develop secretly, so he is not going deep into the grassland.

And now the team of Hu people behind is all one person, two horses, and two thousand war horses, which can't help but make Qin Qiong salivate, except for the most important thing in the war horses, is to annihilate the enemy, and it is also for the sake of Ma Yi's safety.

That's why Qin Qiong deliberately appeared to lure the enemy army, and when the Bai Qi army arrived, it was their death date.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

The Hu people are a horse nation, they began to ride sheep to practice riding since they were young, and it is easy to open the bow immediately when they grow up, but the Great Zhou is not, and there are only 1,200 white horse Yicong under Bai Qi's command who are good at riding and shooting, and in terms of equestrianism, there is still a big gap between the Hu people.

For a while, arrows rained down, densely!

Several knights were hit by arrows, but they endured the pain and wrapped around the horse's neck, and their legs tightly strangled the horse's belly.

Qin Qiong raised a cooked copper mace with his backhand and knocked down the arrows that were coming at him.

He didn't look back, and continued to ride his horse forward.

Wei Chigong led Bai Ma Yi to arrive at the battlefield first, and shouted to Qin Qiong, who was galloping in front of him: "General Qin, hurry up and enter the battle!" ”

Qin Qiong came to Wei Chi Gong's approach, turned the horse's head, lifted the lance, and shouted: "All the soldiers, kill with a certain one!" ”

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

Both armies fired arrows, and both soldiers fell from their horses.

Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Gong, as generals, took the lead, rushed into the Hu army formation, assassinated back and forth with a long lance, and picked down several people.

The leader of the Hu people didn't expect the enemy to be so powerful, and he couldn't help but be horrified, if he fought again, he would inevitably be in a different place, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Withdraw!" Evacuate! ”

"Thief, where to escape!"

Wei Chi Gong killed with great strength, and now he sees that the enemy army wants to escape, how can he rest!

Using the lance in his hand as a spear, he directly shot a Huren centurion through it!

"Look where you want to go!"

With a hào horn, Han Tao and Peng Xi led more than 2,000 ordinary cavalry to outflank them from the rear, and Peng Xi took the lead, carrying a three-pointed and two-edged knife and rushed straight to the enemy formation!

"Barbarian Hu people, do you know your Grandpa Peng?"

The three-pointed, two-edged knife fell with a bang, directly cutting off the head of one of the Hu riders, and blood sprayed out of the Hu rider's chest like a fountain.

Bai Qi rode a war horse on a small dirt slope to watch this one-sided battle, under the effect of Bai Qi's powerful aura of command and stunts, coupled with the brave fighting of Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong and other brave generals, the resistance of the Hu people was nothing but a death struggle.

However, in half an hour, none of the more than 1,000 Hu horsemen rode on the horse, and the war horses scattered on the battlefield were taken away by the Bai Qi soldiers one after another, which are all first-class war horses, whether they are breeding or riding.

"Handsome! This is the leader of the Hu cavalry, judging by his dress, he should be a thousand-commander! ”

Qin Qiong pressed the leader of the Hu people to Bai Qi, and kicked the Hu people who were still struggling to the ground, and the Hu people refused to give up, scolding and spitting out a bunch of words that everyone couldn't understand.

Bai Qi has been in Dongyu for a long time, of course, he knows that the thief is speaking Donghu language, although so, Bai Qi can't understand it, and can barely make out one or two of the characters.

"Dashuai, what is this nonsense man talking about?"

Qin Qiong asked.

"Then you don't need to ask, I must be scolding you!" Wei Chigong on the side said with a big grin.

After Qin Qiong heard this, an old fist smashed at Hu Ren, and the Hu Ren screamed, the bridge of his nose was directly broken by Qin Qiong, and several front teeth were knocked out.

"Alright, don't stone to death!"

Bai Qi said to Qin Qiong, and then said to Hu Ren: "Can you speak Zhou language?" ”

Hu Lu chattered again, but his face was no longer angry and resentful, but afraid and fearful, and he kept kowtowing to Bai.

It should have been scared half to death by Qin Qiong's several old punches, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Bai Qi waved his hand and said: "It seems that this Hu Lu really can't speak our words, bring it back first, and send someone to General Zhang to send a message, and ask him to send a translator who understands Dong Hu language, we may be able to know the recent situation of the Hu people from this Hu Lu's mouth!" ”

"Gather the war horses, dig a pit directly, and bury all the Hulu! And then return to the army! ”

"Yes!"

The generals shouted in unison.

The remnant sun was like blood, except for the blood stains that dried up in the grass, and the abandoned blades, no one knew that this place had just experienced a tragic fight.

By the way, there is also a large pit dug in the grass to prove that the corpses inside are still full of freshness.

......

A few days later, a translator from Dongyu arrived in Mayi, and Bai Qi didn't talk nonsense, and directly mentioned Donghu's commander in the lobby.

"Ask him which tribe he belongs to in Donghu? Whose subordinates? Bai Qi said to the translator.

The interpreter nodded, agreed, and then whispered to the hulu.

After Hu Lu finished speaking, the translator bowed his hand to Bai Qi and said: "General Bai, this Hu Lu is the commander of the division of the Right Valley Liwang [Chamur]. ”

"Right Valley Liwang Chamur..."

Bai Qi rubbed this beard under the chin, and there were some worries in his heart, the right valley Li King is second to the East Hu Shan Yu, the left and right Xian King and the left Gu Li Wang, which is the high-level in the East Hu, controlling four or five thousand horses, which can be described as strong, and now the right valley Li King is going south, is the battle for hegemony on the grassland over?

Donghu wins?

"Ask him what is the situation now that the Linhu, Beihu, Dihu, Wuhu, and Qiang tribes have united dozens of tribes to besiege Donghu?" Bai Qi asked again.

Ma Yi has been established for more than a year, and this is the first time that it has encountered a cavalry army with combat power from the Hu people, or a cavalry army that has gone south, and it should have experienced a lot of battles.

And those small tribes around have hundreds of cavalry people, and they are in the ài éi, it is impossible to know the situation inside the grassland.

After listening to Hu Lu, the translator also showed a look of emotion on his face, and hurriedly said to Bai Qi: "Qiqi Dashuai, the victory and defeat of the grassland hegemony have been divided, Donghu has won, and the king of the right valley Li is going south this time to receive the grassland abandoned by Lin Hu because of the defeat. ”

Bai Qi's face remained unchanged, but his heart was full of waves, he didn't expect Donghu to be so powerful, and under such a siege, he could still win, which was really unexpected!

The translator continued: "General Bai, the specific details are not clear to the commander, but he knows that there is chaos within Lin Hu, and someone secretly contacted Donghu, so he let Donghu seize the opportunity to attack Lin Hu in one fell swoop.

Beihu was also ambushed when he went to support, and finally had to withdraw his troops, and the Dihu, Wuhu, and Qiang also retreated, and Donghu won! ”

"What about Donghu's casualties?"

After the translator asked, he said: "Hu Lu doesn't know how to count, he only knows that there are not a few tribesmen left at all!" ”

Bai nodded and said: "It seems that although Donghu won, he also suffered a lot of losses, which is a good thing for us in Yanzhou." ”

Bai Qi asked some other questions, and when he saw that Hu Lu could not answer, he asked the soldiers to take Hu Lu down.

Bai Qi spread out the map and said to the generals: "The king of Donghu Yougu Li sent several such thousand horses, and the destination of this cavalry is our Mayi, the importance of Mayi is self-evident, if Donghu still wants to control this grassland, it is bound to take Mayi." ”

Wei Chigong was puzzled: "Dashuai, according to what this Hu Lu said, although this Donghu won, the losses must be very heavy, do they still want to be our enemies?" ”

"You haven't been in contact with the Hu people, I'm afraid you don't know the character of the Hu people, they are cunning and changeable, arrogant and arrogant.

Now that they have obtained the position of the overlord of the grassland, they must share a point with us, unless we beat them up and are afraid, they will give up the idea of being our enemy.

Then they ran to a remote corner and licked their wounds, and when the wounds healed, they came back again! Bai Qi said to Wei Chigong.

"Now that the King of Yougu Liwang has arrived, then the battle of Ma Yi is settled! Now that Yanzhou is in full swing, how can he be afraid of Hulu? Let's see how good we are! ”

Bai Qi did not flinch at all, and made up his mind to defeat the invading enemy in Mayi.

If Mayi is Liu Dejun's horse breeding land, if it is abandoned, then all the time of the past two years will be wasted, not to mention spending a lot of money and energy, Liu Dejun will also completely shrink into Yanzhou, at least for a few years, he will not be able to extend his tentacles to the grassland.

When Donghu's strength recovers, it will invade the border of Yanzhou again, and there will be flames in Yanzhou, which is unforgivable for Liu De.

Therefore, this battle will undoubtedly be fought, as long as the Donghu army is repelled and they are afraid, Donghu will not dare to invade the Yanzhou border.

"Report this matter to the lord quickly, and let General Zhang send troops to support, and store enough food and water in Mayi to prevent the enemy from cutting off the main road between Mayi and Dongyu. Let someone have a good meeting with this Donghu in this Ma Yi for a while! ”

Bai Qi said that, and smashed his fist on the Yanzhou map.

"Yes!"

All the generals are also gearing up, as the military generals, the most hope is to hear the news of the war, only in the war will they have military merits, in order to be promoted to make a fortune, and to sprout the shadow of their descendants.

And this time the enemy is the Hu people, non-my race will have a different heart, killing Hu Lu really has no psychological burden for them, this is exactly what they expect, guarding the frontier, protecting the family and defending the country, it is the big husband's doing!

Yanzhou, Dongyu, Fuya.

Zhang Tianlang received the news from Bai Qi, and he didn't dare to slack off, and said to the guards: "Call Captain Huo!" ”

"General, are you looking for me?"

Huo Jun came to the mansion and bowed to Zhang Tianlang.

Zhang Tianlang put his hands behind his back, looked at the huge Yanzhou map hanging on the wall, and said to Huo Jun: "Captain Huo, General Bai has sent news that Donghu has won the final victory of the grassland.

And now the right valley of Donghu has sent a vanguard of 1,000 people to arrive in Mayi, although this vanguard was finally wiped out by General Bai, but the arrival of the Donghu army is inevitable, and Mayi will become a battlefield of killing! ”

Huo Jun arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the general to order!" ”

Zhang Tianlang turned around and looked aggressive, "Captain Huo, you personally lead five thousand soldiers and horses to support Ma Yi, obey General Bai's dispatch, and try your best to ensure that Ma Yi is not lost!" ”

Huo Jun said with a straight face: "Please rest assured that the general will live up to the general's trust!" ”

On the second day, Huo Jun led a 5,000-foot army, carrying a large amount of grain and grass to Mayi.

After Bai Qi got the news that Huo Jun came to support, he was overjoyed, "With Captain Huo here, the victory will increase by at least three percent!" ”
