"Look, my lord, this horse manure is still fresh, and it should have just passed." An experienced military officer reported to Zhao Yunyu.

"What else can you see?"

"From the analysis of the horseshoe prints, this horse team should be around three or four hundred people."

"Looks like it's supposed to be them." Zhao Yun said with joy on his face: "Follow these horseshoe prints for me to chase, as long as you catch Murong Chui's father and son, Lao Tzu will be rewarded." ”

"Driving, driving, driving......"

Hearing that there was a heavy reward, the soldiers of the Western Army under Zhao Yun clapped their horses and shouted excitedly.

On the other side, Murong Chui's father and son, under the protection of hundreds of bearded sword knights, were riding their horses and galloping westward.

Murong Ke patted his horse and caught up with Murong Chui and said, "Father, there is Red Fort Town in front, why don't we take a break!" The brothers were tired after running all night. ”

"No, this place is too close to Clear Water City, and I'm resting after Red Fort Town." Murong Trai decisively refused.

"Father, even if you don't think about your brothers, think about the horses under our crotch! The horse was going to die of exhaustion when he ran. Murong Ke continued to persuade Murong Ke.

Murong Chui touched the horse under his crotch, and said helplessly: "Okay! The herald entered the town to rest for an hour. ”

"Father is handsome and wise." Murong Ke said overjoyed.

The reason why Murong Ke suggested resting was not because he was sympathetic to the horses sitting down, but because from the time he ran in the middle of the night to now, Murong Ke's stomach had growled, Murong Ke, who had been dressed and fed since childhood, even if he was in the army, he was also eating and drinking well, even when he was defeated and fled from the threshold stone, Murong Ke had never been hungry, and the feeling of hunger really made Murong Ke unbearable.

Red Fort Town is not so much a town, but a larger village, the town is surrounded by a circle of earth enclosures, about one zhang five high, because Red Fort Town is on the traffic artery, so there are four city gates in the east, west, north and south; The vast majority of the people living in the town were slaves, numbering about 1,800 people, who were run by five Sijon people.

After Murong Chui led the cavalry into the town, someone soon reported it to the lieutenant chief.

"I don't know if the general is coming, and the small one is far away, and I ask the general to atone for his sins." Li Chang trotted all the way to meet Murong Chuidao.

"You're the lieutenant here?"

"The villain is the mayor of Red Castle Town."

"Hurry up and send someone to prepare food for us, General Ben has urgent military affairs on his body, and he has to hurry."

"Yes, yes, yes...... The little one immediately sent someone to prepare. ”

Since entering Red Fort Town, Murong Chui and the others have never revealed their identities, the key is that they can't afford to lose this person! And if the slaves in the town knew that they had been defeated from Clearwater City, maybe the slaves would riot immediately.

"Big marshal, no, there is a cavalry outside the town." A spy hurriedly ran to Murong Chui and knelt down.

"Cavalry, under what banner? How many people are there? Before Murong Chui could speak, Murong Ke immediately asked bluntly.

"The number of people is estimated to be four or five thousand, under the banner of the word 'Yong'." The spies reported again.

"Four or five thousand." Murong Ke's face turned white as soon as he brushed it, and he sat directly on the ground.

"Command, and all assemble at once; Ben Shuai will take you out to kill. Murong looked at everyone sharply and said.

However, Murong Chui's words did not resonate with these bearded sword knights.

Murong Chui smiled and said, "What's the matter?" After a defeat, they wilted; Although we are now surrounded by the Yong army, as long as we can rush out, Ben Shuai will take you back again;

Brothers, how the Yongjun treats us, you all know that either they die or we die, as long as we kill them, we will have a way to live. ”

Although Murong Chui's words were said very casually, they really spoke to the hearts of everyone, and the morale of these bearded sword knights was suddenly raised; As the saying goes, 'put the place of death and then live', this sentence is now very appropriate to describe the surrounded Murong Chui and others.

Murong Trai gave an order, and more than 300 bearded sword knights turned over and followed Murong Trai to the west gate to kill, at this moment the former Murong Trai seemed to be back.

"Warriors of the sword, kill ...... with Ben Shuai"

After Murong Chui gave the order, he took the lead in charging towards the Western Army outside the West City, because the Western Army had just completed the encirclement of Red Fort Town, there were not many Western Army cavalry outside the West City, only five hundred cavalry.

Looking at the bearded knights who came out of the city, these Western cavalry immediately rushed forward, and in the eyes of the Western cavalry, these Xirong cavalry were dying and struggling, so they did not take them to heart; As soon as the two armies collided with each other and fought together, these soldiers of the Western Army realized the bravery of the bearded sword knights, and in the case of occupying superior forces, the cavalry of the western army was defeated, losing more than 300 people, and was rushed out of the encirclement by the bearded sword knights led by Murong Chui.

"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper...... Your Excellency, the Xirong cavalry broke through from the West City Gate, and our army suffered heavy losses. A herald hurriedly ran to Zhao Yun's side to report.

"Waste, five hundred cavalry can't stop the remnants of the Xirong army." Zhao Yun said angrily; "The order was given, and the troops immediately pursued westward."

Although the bearded sword knights led by Murong Chui had rested for more than half an hour, their physical strength was much better than that of the western cavalry that caught up, but because the bearded sword knights at this time were all one person and one horse, and the western cavalry were all one person and two horses, the bearded sword knights still caught up with the western army.

"Marshal, the cavalry of the 'Yongjun' has been biting us tightly."

"Made, it seems that if you don't hurt them, they won't let us go." Murong Chui said angrily: "Brothers, let's go up that nameless hillside. ”

Under the leadership of Murong Chui, less than three hundred bearded sword knights stood on the small hillside, and Zhao Yun led more than two thousand five hundred cavalry to line up at the bottom of the hillside.

"Dashuai, you don't think they are 'Yongjun cavalry', although they are under the banner of Yongjun, but they are more like the cavalry battalion of the Western Army."

"You're right, this is exactly the cavalry camp of the Western Army." Murong said with a dark face: "I didn't expect Lao Tzu to be deceived by Guo Qi'er. ”

"Marshal, the Western Army Cavalry Battalion is notoriously soft-boned, as long as we can kill a thousand enemies, they will collapse and retreat."

"Brothers, it's not the cavalry of the Yongjun Army below, but the cavalry battalion of the Western Army." Murong Chui said in a loud voice: "How stupid they are, you know better than Ben Shuai, only if we defeat the Western Army cavalry camp under the mountain, can we go home." ”

"Go home, go home, go home......" the Bearded Knight roared.

"Kill ......"

Murong Chui gave an order, and less than three hundred bearded sword knights rushed down from the mountain, although they were in an unfavorable situation, Zhao Yun still personally led two thousand five hundred cavalry under his command to meet the attack.

Although there were less than 300 bearded knights, they fought for a whole hour, and the Western Army Cavalry Battalion won the final victory by relying on the advantage of numbers, but it also suffered heavy losses, but this was also a rare baptism of war for the Western Army Cavalry Battalion.
