Xu Bugen also failed to break through the camp of the Chinese army where Li Dao was, Li Dao's methods were more ruthless than Yan Xinglai, he even waited until the Huns drove the rout into the range, regardless of the enemy and me, and shot together, where the Chinese army was, after the more intensive arrow rain took away the lives of a wave of routs, it also traumatized the hungry wolves of the Huns who could not hide their tracks, so they had to stare at the green eyes, lick the wounds, and dare not step forward to attack the camp again.

After the two centurions of cavalry sent out also failed to burn grain and grass in a roundabout way, and retreated back to converge, Su Bugen knew that there was no other breakthrough in the camp tonight, and these Han troops seemed to have gathered a lot of elite soldiers and horses from other towns as the information they had received, and they were no longer the ordinary county soldiers who were defeated as soon as they were defeated.

Thinking of this, Subgen already had a plan in his heart.

The essence of the Huns' tactics is to "advance if it is advantageous, retreat if it is unfavorable, and not be ashamed to flee", using the high mobility of the cavalry to quickly penetrate the enemy's weak area, bring out a wave of blood rain, and then quickly break away from the enemy's attack range. Because of this, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty of the former Han Dynasty used all the strength of the Han Empire to attack the Xiongnu, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing continued to defeat the Xiongnu, the distant Xiongnu were still in Hanhai, Mobei and other places, and the Han Empire was tug-of-war, and carried out a century-long Han-Hun War.

The power of the Southern Xiongnu is far less than the glory and peak of the former Han Dynasty when they were in the grassland, but this method of warfare has penetrated deep into their bone marrow, Yu Fuluo is like a lost dog, but he can take three or four thousand Huns and miscellaneous Hu cavalry to crisscross the states and counties of the Han Dynasty, so that the assassins and Taishou are helpless in various places, and they are by no means incompetent.

After Xu Bugen gathered all the men and horses, he had already seen the continuous dispatch of men and horses in the various battalions of the Han army, converging into a torrent of counterattacks, preparing to outflank his own blapping night raiders from both sides, he knew that the elite of the cavalry in these Han soldiers and horses was not inferior to the Hun cavalry under his command, once they were bitten, it was not so simple to retreat.

Anyway, tonight has taken the opportunity to rush the front camp of the Han army camp, and also killed and injured a lot of Han soldiers, causing them a lot of shock in their hearts, has achieved the purpose of Su Bugen's night attack on the enemy camp, he raised his knife again, let the Hun cavalry around him blow the horn of retreat, and ordered the Huns to retreat while lighting all the things along the way, replacing the soldiers with fire, and using the fire to block the pursuers of the Han army's counterattack.

So, in the sound of the rapid trumpet, the menacing, as if there was a mountain and a sea of people quietly gathered like ghosts in the night, retreated from the original way, and threw all the torches on the way to the camp again, the original long fire dragon with teeth and claws quickly disappeared, leaving only the sound of horses' hooves in the dark night, proving their footprints.

After the Huns retreated, the movement in the Han army camp had not subsided, and in the messy camp, there were still ashes of black smoke, sparks fluttering in the wind, corpses separated from their bodies, and wounded soldiers wailing and screaming, all of which reminded the Han soldiers of everything that had just happened in half an hour.

Xu Kun and Yan Xing agreed on the signal, after the combined army rushed out, the Huns also happened to blow the horn of retreat, he led people to rush to kill in front, but unfortunately only killed one or two unlucky Huns who were unlucky and backward when they retreated in the night, and the Huns who hid their traces in the dark night again, Xu Kun naturally did not dare to rashly go out of the camp to chase, he was so angry that his teeth itched, looked at the front camp that was in disarray, and threw the iron shackle on his head to the ground fiercely, and scolded in his mouth:

"These Huns are also cunning, not only biting away the bait, but also letting them get off the hook!"

Yan Xing looked at the soldiers who had been sent by the Chinese army to extinguish the flames, he didn't say anything, the Huns, as the male lords of the grassland, naturally would not be ordinary characters, fierce as wolves, cunning as foxes, it was their true portrayal on the battlefield, Xu Kun wanted to use the Chinese army camp as a bait, so as to outflank the Huns on both sides The plan was not realized, although it was a pity, but it was no big deal, and in the future, I would find these Huns on the battlefield to get back this Liangzi.

However, looking at the military horses and the soldiers with gloomy faces who hurriedly galloped out of the Chinese army camp, Yan Xing couldn't help but think to himself, I am afraid that at this time, the worst mood is still the three captains.

···

In the camp of the Chinese army, in the military tent of Li Dao, Guo Yan, who led the cavalry to catch up with the Huns, lifted the curtain of the military tent and strode in, he casually threw the pocket he took off aside, and regardless of Li Dao and Zhang Ji sitting in the tent, he went straight to an empty horse on the side, and sat down with a buttocks, but after thinking about it, he still held back his breath, and couldn't help getting up and patting the table in front of him, making a "bang" sound of heavy blows, and scolded hatefully in his mouth:

"Even if these Huns are running fast, otherwise, Naigong will cut off all their heads and make them into drowning pots, see how dare they run to the camp where we are waiting next time!"

Guo Yan scolded in his mouth and was still angry, he scolded and struck a few more times on the case, but Li Dao and Guo Yan in the tent unexpectedly did not speak as usual to persuade him, he couldn't help but stop his palm, which was also a little painful, and looked at the other two people in the account in surprise.

Zhang Ji's face was serious, his face was covered with a layer of haze at the moment, he pursed his lips and didn't speak, and Li Ji also kept silent, his eyelids drooped, as if he was asleep. Seeing this, Guo Yan's eyes couldn't help widening, pointed at Zhang Ji and Li Dao, and asked angrily:

"What are you doing, the camp has been trampled by the Huns, and you can still stay here to learn how to practice qi and clear the valley!"

Zhang Ji didn't answer, Li Ji's eyes raised slightly, glanced at the annoyed Guo Yan, and said with a slight smile:

"Lao Guo, don't worry, after so many years of fighting, I haven't seen any battles, and it's not once or twice that the camp has been attacked by Qianghu, what are you anxious about?"

"It's-"

Guo Yan was said by Li Wei, although he couldn't vent his anger in his stomach, and he couldn't say anything to refute it, he snorted coldly, sat back in his position again, stretched out his foot and kicked the case in front of him violently, in order to vent the dissatisfaction of being ignored in his heart.

Guo Yan used to be a horse thief, licking blood with a knife head, and had a violent temper, Li Ji and Zhang Ji both knew it, seeing his rude behavior, the two looked at each other and didn't say anything, but Zhang Ji finally said after seeing Li Ji's eyes:

"It seems that these Huns are also the elite of the headquarters alone, although the number is not large, it is quite tricky to fight——"

Guo Yan snorted coldly again, stared at him, and said unceremoniously:

"Aren't you talking nonsense, no matter how down-and-out Yu Fuluo is, he is also the right virtuous king of the Huns, and these Hun cavalry under him can't be the elite of the headquarters alone?"

Zhang Ji was interrupted by Guo Yan for no reason, and he was angry in his heart, he glared back at Guo Yan, Guo Yan is also an arrogant character in the army, except for Dong Zhuo, he has never been afraid of others, although Zhang Ji is the same captain as him, but he also looks at him without showing weakness, and he has the meaning of doing something if he doesn't agree, Zhang Ji knows Guo Yan's temper, and after looking at each other for a while, he still looked away first, and stopped making a sound.

Li Dao intentionally or unintentionally waited for the two to finish the battle before slowly speaking:

"After the preliminary inventory of the Chinese army officers just now, tonight's tents and baggage in the front battalion were all burned, and the other battalions also suffered slight losses, and the soldiers in the front battalion suffered the most casualties, although the number of each battalion has not yet been reported, it is estimated that the loss will be no less than 500 people!"

This kind of night attack caused by the situation is like this, the Huns personally killed the soldiers are a minority, but by the Huns' horses' hooves, the camp frightened and running horses, their own soldiers chaotic trampling caused by the casualties accounted for the majority, and the Huns set fire to the tents, baggage is innumerable, fortunately the camp was not broken into by the Huns' cavalry, otherwise the battle has not been fought, the grain and grass will be gone, Li Dao and others led the troops to rescue Linfen The day has also come to an end.

Guo Yan exhaled a long breath, slammed his right hand into his left hand, and scolded:

"The front battalion is mostly the miscellaneous pieces of the Northern Army, these Kwantung soldiers just can't help fighting, if it goes on like this, how can this battle be fought-"

"It's just a small defeat, it's not a big deal, although these Huns are strong, but the number is small, as long as they first entangle them with rangers on the battlefield, and then go all out to break the main force of the White Wave Thieves, these Huns who have come to see the benefits can help in addition to escaping!"

Li Wei saw that Guo Yan had nowhere to vent his anger because he fought a nest battle tonight, and he didn't choose to speak, afraid that he would continue to talk nonsense, so he directly interrupted Guo Yan's words, after Guo Yan was interrupted, he didn't have much disgust, he had fought with Li Ji a lot in the past, and he knew Li Ji's ability, and he didn't look at Li Dao angrily like he did with Zhang Ji.

At this time, Zhang Ji saw that Guo Yan was also interrupted from the conversation, and his heart felt a little better, he turned to look at Li Ji and asked:

"These Huns are also quite strong, I'm afraid that they are not inferior to my cavalry in Liangdi, and the situation in Linfen is not as you said in front of everyone during the day!"

Li Wei nodded, and continued to say:

"That's right, I'm just afraid that the army is afraid of Baibo and the Huns, and I don't dare to go north, so I estimate that I exaggerated the advantages of our army, in order to strengthen the heart of everyone to go north to rescue Linfen, General Niu's letter is difficult to distinguish between true and false, but I'm afraid that the situation in Linfen is really not good!"

After listening to Li Ji's words, Zhang Ji did not answer for the time being, although he was slightly dissatisfied that Li Dao did not talk about this point when he discussed with them in advance before, but he was not Guo Yan, and his inner thoughts would not be shown on his face. And Niu Fu's military talent, they have lived in the Dong camp for a long time, they all know in their hearts, follow their father-in-law, fight the battle on the lips is okay, really lead an army, when encountering such a cunning and difficult enemy like the Huns, they will lose the battle.

Guo Yan was even more disdainful of Niu Fu's ability to lead the troops, but he didn't say it because of his status in Dong Ying, but this made him suddenly remember something, stretched out his hand and patted his thigh, and shouted:

"That fake son of the Xu family is very meritorious, this time tonight, I saw the fierceness of the Huns, I'm afraid he was intimidated, if he didn't dare to attack the thief's lair, what should he do?"
