Qin Cheng rode into the dust, and nearly 100 soldiers followed behind him.

This time, Li Guang did not follow. There is a commander and a deputy commander in the army, and they can't all chase those dozens of Hun soldiers at this time.

Li Guang glanced back, and under the sunset, all the three hundred and forty or fifty Hun cavalry who had been killed, as well as the half hundred Han cavalry who had died in battle, were lying quietly on the grassland. The original green of the grassland was gone, and the blood-soaked grass had become a dark brown.

The Han cavalry killed in the battle was less than 50, and the wounded were less than 100, mainly because the casualties of the light cavalry were much larger, and the archery skills of the Huns were still very threatening to these unformed light cavalry.

As expected, the first battle was successful, although it was an absolute advantage in numbers and tactics, these new horses were still excited, especially the light cavalry, because they were all car infantry before, and there were few opportunities to go into battle, and the probability of victory was almost none. Relatively speaking, although the heavy cavalry is more mature, but it has never encountered a situation where it is okay to be shot by an arrow from the Huns before, although there are not many casualties this time, it is still a little excited.

Li Guang saw the reaction of the new horseman, and carefully looked around the battlefield, and finally showed a relieved smile.

The development of light riding and heavy riding is unprecedented, and for him, it is tantamount to a gamble. This first small victory is enough to comfort the various difficulties that have been inhumane to outsiders before.

It is said that Qin Cheng led nearly 100 relatives to ride to chase and kill the forty or fifty Hun cavalry who slipped through the net, and the relatives experienced a battle, although they felt happy, but the time was too short, and they did not feel addicted.

Qin Cheng looked at the direction of the Huns' escape, and already knew that they were in danger, so he ordered the soldiers behind him to put away their swords and bow out.

The direction in which these Hun cavalry fled was the direction of Yangzigou, and they may have wanted to merge with the Hun cavalry that attacked there in order to get rid of the pursuit, but for now, this is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Thirty miles from Xiaohua City to Yangzigou, there is a light cavalry arranged by Qin Cheng to stand by in place. Originally, this was to prevent the Hun cavalry from Yangzigou from coming to reinforce them, and now it is used to block these fleeing Huns, which is just right.

Fifty Huns rushed all the way to the west, nearly 100 Han soldiers rode closely in pursuit, when the 500 light cavalry left curve appeared in the field of vision, it was the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, one arrow to determine the future. The huge cloth bag closed with a thunderous momentum, and the wind swept the clouds, and the sky was gradually darkening. Hundreds of iron arrows came and went, obscuring the mutilated sunset, and when there were less than ten people left in the rain of arrows from the fifty Huns in front and back, the leading centurion ignored the iron arrows on his shoulders and the one hundred and twenty-five horsemen who killed in front of him. With their remaining strength, they called out to the Kunlun God who had made their blood boil countless times, and raised their long knives without hesitation.

Qin Cheng and his own horsemen had already restrained their horses, and their long knives pointed diagonally at the blood-dripping grassland. Standing still, quietly watching the Huns at the end of the crossbow, they rushed to the front of the light cavalry army without hesitation at the last moment, and when the shouts turned into screams, they put their long knives into their scabbards, and their movements were uniform.

None of the 50 Huns who escaped were spared, and all of them died here. The members of the 125th Sect Leader Team who rushed out of the light cavalry left curve, no matter what the purpose was, objectively gave these Huns a way to die without losing the dignity of soldiers.

"Collect the troops!" Qin Cheng ordered.

Whether it was the nearly 100 horsemen who retreated, or the 500 light horsemen who still stayed here, when they did not enjoy this small victory, they did not see a lone rider in the distance.

As the night fell, the light of the fire in Xiaohua City became an unpleasant and beautiful scenery in the night, and the fire was so good that it was pointless to extinguish the fire artificially, only to wait for it to burn out on its own.

The 2,500 cavalry did not intend to camp here, and after Qin Cheng and Li Guang summoned the defenders of Xiaohua City, Tun Changshanjia, they went west and took advantage of the night to raid Yangzigou, which was a hundred miles away.

Qin Cheng and Li Guang agreed that it was an ideal camping place for the whole army.

The consideration of the unknown strength of the Xiongnu did not affect their opportunity to seize the battlefield. Step by step, destroy the enemy with one battle after another, and what should come will eventually come.

When Shanjia learned that the army was going to attack Yangzigou, he relied on his familiarity with the surrounding terrain, and Mao recommended himself to lead the way.

"Xiaohua City has just undergone a sudden change, and the fire has not yet dispersed, and you need to wait here at this time, so let someone else do the work of leading the way." Li Guang looked at the beacon fire in Xiaohua City, and his face did not have the slightest joy because of Fang Cai's victory.

"What the general said, his subordinates will not be unaware, but this time the Huns are so vicious, killing my people and destroying my homeland, how can we be willing to leave it at that! Who of us and other sergeants is not willing to go with the general to crusade against those straight thieves? It's just that as the general said, Xiaohua City needs all the soldiers to stay behind to deal with the current predicament, and the subordinates don't want to recommend themselves, they just want to contribute to the army, to crusade against these Huns, and to do their part to kill more Huns! Shanjia's angry expression looked very hideous in the firelight, and his words were almost said through gritted teeth, with a violent momentum.

Li Guang glanced at Shanjia, "Since you have this thought, the general can't help but agree to you, so you can guide the army." ”

"General Xie!" Shanjia clenched his fists and stepped on the war horse with everyone.

"This mountain armor is a tiger general, and his skills are extraordinary." Qin Cheng said to Li Guang.

The great army marched rapidly westward.

The heavy cavalry was slower, so they walked behind, and the army turned the light cavalry left curve, and then ran towards Yangzigou together.

Heavy riding behind, in case of any situation, it is also a response.

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the night kills people.

You can't afford the bright moonlight in this place.

Fifteen hundred light horsemen, dressed in stars and moons, began the first independent battle of this campaign.

Not to mention anything else, relying on the large number of people, the light and momentum can also scare away the three or five hundred Hun cavalry at night.

However, when the light cavalry army ran for nearly an hour and arrived near Yangzigou, there was silence all around, and a pin drop could be heard.

Ordinary villages and towns, a dirt road that is not big or small, surrounded by a few leafless trees, and beyond is an intact crop field.

In the moonlight, it looks very eerie.

"Yang Zigou was attacked by the Hun cavalry this afternoon, looking like this, there is no trace of it." Li Guang held the knife and looked at it, and said softly.

"Shanjia, you come on." Qin Cheng greeted Shanjia Road.

"General, Yang Zigou did warn in the afternoon, we can see it clearly." "At that time, I also sent a sentry to inquire about the situation. It's just that this sentry has not been seen yet, and its whereabouts are unknown. ”

Li Guang looked at the village and town of Yangzigou not far away, "This village and town is weirdly tight, let's be careful to prevent fraud." ”

"What the general said is very true." Qin Chengdao gave an order to the herald, "Order, the whole army is on guard in place." Again, the heavy cavalry Houma Mountain, the heavy cavalry finished glyph march, speed up, if there is a situation, no matter how big or small, all ignite the warning! ”

"No!"

After the herald went down, the rangers who had dispersed before came back to report: "There is no trace of the Huns within a radius of ten miles, there are traces of cavalry staying outside Yangzigou Town, and its tun commander is already on the way!" ”

Qin Cheng pondered for a moment, "Qin Qingzhi! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"You lead a team of pro-soldiers, together with the mountain armor, and explore again. If there is no situation, be on guard all around! ”

"No!"

After Qin Cheng finished arranging, he waited in place with everyone, and all the soldiers did not dismount, and the swords and arrows did not leave their hands.

The north wind is cold.

In the middle of the ring, the head of the Yangzigou garrison arrived in front of him.

The chief of Natun reported the situation in the afternoon, and everyone felt even more strange.

According to what he said, the Huns did come to attack Yangzigou in the afternoon, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and they did not burn and loot much, but surrounded Yangzigou for an afternoon, and withdrew at dusk.

At the same time, Liu Mu, who had not seen him for a long time, came to Qin Cheng and whispered to him.

After Li Guang and the others figured out what was going on, and after asking all the questions, Qin Qingzhi's Pegasus reported that the content was the same as what the rangers had reported before.

"General, in that case, how about I camp here tonight?" Qin Cheng said to Li Guang.

"It's fine." Li Guangdao.

"Order, ride into the town in front of the light horse, and camp outside the town on the left and right!" Qin Cheng ordered.

Before coming to Yangzigou, Qin Cheng had no intention of meeting the Huns here. The Huns came and went like the wind, and it was impossible to wait for them to fight in Yangzigou. Now this is the case, but it is also expected, but the Hun cavalry besieged the city in the afternoon and did not attack, but it is incomprehensible, Qin Cheng did not know what the Huns were fighting this time. I just feel that the Huns are acting treacherously this time, and I am afraid that this expedition will not be easy. In this case, the only way to be cautious is not to mess up the situation first, and then plan later.

In contrast, Qin Cheng was more worried about riding the three songs. However, this time there are a lot of wandering out, and the heavy cavalry itself is a cavalry veteran, and there is a front song with full heavy cavalry equipment, so it is expected that there will be no problems.

Regarding the current situation and the next plan of action, Qin Cheng discussed with Li Guang and others for a while, and roughly had an idea, and then Li Guangzhong's army was released.

The light cavalry left behind in Laomayuan, which was the reserve force of the cavalry this time, and also the guarantee that the cavalry could be returned when they went out to battle but were unfavorable.

Laomayuan connects the northern grasslands and the mountains in the south, and its mountain pass can be attacked and defended, which is an extremely important pass.

When Qin Cheng returned to his camp tent from the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw Shanjia sitting on the ground, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so Qin Cheng simply walked over and sat down beside Shanjia.

"What did you find?" Qin Cheng asked, looking around.

"General Qin." Seeing that it was Qin Cheng, Shanjia saluted and sat down again, and then said: "I didn't find anything special, I just felt that the atmosphere tonight was depressing." ”

"That's true." Qin Cheng glanced at the full moon, and it happened that the full moon was being blocked by a dark cloud at this time, "This time the Huns' actions are quite unreasonable, which is unpredictable. ”

"I don't know which village and town these Huns went to attack at this time." Shanjia sighed.

At this time, the heavy cavalry had already arrived at Yangzigou, and Ma Dashan came to report, and there was no situation along the way. Qin Cheng asked him to wait and camp outside the town, and was about to go back to rest, when he suddenly realized something.

The heavy cavalry did not touch the Hun cavalry.

The rangers also did not find the Hun cavalry.

"Oops!"
