At night, the Xianbei camp was in good order, and the soldiers and horses of all units should rest in the tents if they should enter the tents to rest, and those who should be on duty patrols patrolled around the camps, and the soldiers of the battalion were strictly ordered not to leave the camp without orders.

Everyone knows that the opposite Han army commander Fuquan is a guy who likes to sneak attack at night, the ancestor Tan Shihuai was defeated and died that year, and there was a sneak attack by Fuquan at night, and he ordered more than 1,000 cavalry to break through tens of thousands of military camps and lose countless soldiers, so he Lian naturally will not be careless, and the defense of the battalion can be described as extremely meticulous.

It's just that, obviously, this time Fuquan no longer had the idea of letting more than a thousand people storm the enemy camp, and the sneak attack was based on the enemy's undetectable defense, so as to exert the greatest effect. From the first day of the siege of the Han camp, the Xianbei people sent scouts to monitor the Han army camp day and night, and it was obviously very difficult to attack the camp around the Xianbei people who had already dealt with it.

More than 3,000 Han troops out of the camp, then go straight to the east, it stands to reason that after the Han army out of the camp, should go straight to the south to break through, in the south of the white mountain, it is the Han border Youzhou, if the Xianbei people are not afraid of risk, obviously do not dare to pursue. But in the south is the remnants of the continuous white mountains. It is not conducive to direct passage at all, if it is detoured, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time, and it is easy to be seen by the Xianbei people as the route of the army, surrounded and intercepted, so the risk is extremely high, and it is not conducive to the breakthrough of the Han army.

The plan to go south was vetoed, then there was left to go north and march to the east and west, but if you go north, the road is not familiar, and the second is the only place in Xianbei that has not been conquered by the Han army, even if you get rid of the pursuit of the Xianbei people, it is difficult to ensure that the Han army can return safely after it goes, after all, the grassland is too big, the road is not familiar, once you get lost, it is like a dead end for the entire army.

And the most important point, how many Xianbei tribes exist in the north, the Han army does not know, if it encounters a large Xianbei tribe, there is a roadblock in front of the roadblock, and there is a situation of chasing soldiers in the back, the Han army that breaks through is likely to be attacked by the Xianbei people and completely wiped out, so it is not advisable.

If you break through to the east, it is the same, after the Han army broke through Danhan Mountain, whether there is any remnant of Xianbei in the east, and how many people are still on the original territory, this is also unknown to the Han army, so breaking through to the east is not a good strategy for the Han army.

In the end, under the advice of Duan Cheng and Jia Xu, after Fu Quan considered it, he ordered the army to break through to the east, and at a suitable place, choose the opportunity to return to the Han realm, whether it was to return to Youzhou or Merge with Zhou, for the Han army, this was a successful retreat.

In the dark of night, in addition to the "crackling" sound of burning torches, all that remained of the snoring of the soldiers of the battalion under him and the footsteps of the soldiers patrolling back and forth. Suddenly, in the direction of the Han army camp in the distance, a rapid horn sound rushed into the sky, shattering the tranquility of the night.

It was the horn blown by the scouts of the Xianbei army in the Han army camp, and it was the shadow left by the company in order to prevent accidents, once the Han army made a move, the scouts would blow the trumpet, and all the Xianbei soldiers in the Xianbei camp, hearing the sound of the horn, must quickly go out of the camp to obey the order, in case of accidents.

The sound of the horn became louder and louder, and the Xianbei Zhu was awakened by the rapid sound of the horn, and hurriedly put on the soldiers, and the clothes and armor were not arranged, so they hurried to the Chinese army's tent to assemble.

At the same time, the ordinary soldiers in the Xianbei camp, in addition to the people who originally patrolled and guarded the camp, the other soldiers also quickly got up and put on their clothes, and for a while, the Xianbei camp was crowded with people and flames.

He Lian was also at this time, put on his clothes and armor, and went out of the big tent of the Chinese army, he originally thought that Fuquan had committed an old problem, and he was ready to attack the enemy camp again, but after coming out of the tent, he did not see any warning from the Xianbei camp.

It wasn't until he got the news from the scouts who returned to the camp to report that a group of soldiers and horses of the Han army left the camp under the banner of Fuquan and his important generals. However, they were not for a sneak attack on the Xianbei camp, but to prepare to escape, and even after hearing this, he was shocked, he didn't expect that Fuquan would be so cowardly, and he would run away if he couldn't fight, which was not at all the same as his impression that Fuquan dared to send more than a thousand horsemen to attack the Xianbei camp controlled by his father.

When the Xianbei generals left the camp and were about to inquire about what was wrong, they saw Lord Xianbei and Lian, looking at the moving flames in front of the Han army camp in front of them, and ordered loudly: "The Han army breaks through, pursues quickly, and those who dare to resist this will be killed, and those who ambush the head of Liuchuan will be given 30,000 ......."

As soon as the order was given, the troops who were assigned to pursue Xianbei who were hurriedly assembled were suddenly in high spirits, shouting "Long live Xianbei", and under the leadership of their respective leaders, they drove their horses to chase after the Han army.

The Xianbei cavalry that pursued the Han army, and the company only sent 10,000 horsemen, led by the veteran Murong Ba, as for the company himself, but he led the remaining soldiers and horses with the leader, Bu Dugen and others, preparing to attack the remaining Han soldiers in the Han army camp, because the scout reported that there were still many remnants of the Han army camp.

On the eastern grassland, more than 3,000 Han troops in Fuquan were entangled with more than 1,000 scouts outside the camp with Xianbei for a few moments, and after getting rid of it, they immediately broke through, after all, as soon as the war started, the Xianbei people would definitely be awakened, and the danger would be greater if they did not leave early.

It's just that this entangled effort is enough for the pursuing army sent by Helian in the back, and after the Han army fled to twenty miles, Helian Nawan cavalry pursued with all his might under the stimulation of heavy rewards, and finally caught up with the Han army.

At night, the pursuers of the Xianbei people howled loudly, speaking all kinds of nonsense, chasing the Han army in front, and the Xianbei cavalry in front excitedly pulled out the feather arrows in their hands and shot arrows at the Han troops in front of them who were still within their range.

Dense feathered arrows jumped into the sky, in the night sky, stabbed a sound of breaking the sky, and fell into the Han cavalry camp in front, although there were not many of them, and the Han army had armor protection, but there would always be unlucky ghosts who were shot. These Han soldiers who were shot by feather arrows, fortunately only suffered a small injury, as long as they gritted their teeth a little and persisted, they could continue to ride their horses and escape, but they were not lucky, they were mostly shot at the key point, they fell off their horses on the spot, broke away from the camp, and fell to the ground, and then they were chased by the Xianbei people who caught up behind, made up for a few knives, and then were trampled by countless horses' hooves, and finally became a meat sauce mud, and then embarked on the Artemisia Road, and there was no life at all.

"Junhou, the Xianbei dog thief is chasing after him very urgently, it is better for the last general to lead the troops to break off the rear in order to slow down his army!" Seeing that the military situation was critical, Guan Yu, who was following behind Fu Quan, immediately spoke, after all, being pursued by the Xianbei people alone in this way would be completely consumed by the Xianbei people's feather arrows, and he had to think of other ways.

"No, you will die after you break it, it is unwise to do it, it is not appropriate to do it!" Fu Quan refused, the pursuing Xianbei soldiers roughly estimated that there were no less than 10,000 people, and it was not at all that the Han army could get rid of after drawing out hundreds or thousands of people, and the gap in strength was something that the Han army could not make up at all.

"But if we don't stop it, our army will perish, what will it be?"

Looking at the torches in the rear, the Xianbei army who was in a hurry to pursue, Fu Quan looked at the endless night, and said with a plan: "Order, all soldiers will throw the torches on the back road, and the whole army will march in the dark!" ”

"Marching in the dark?"

"Do as you are told!"

"No!"

Soon, with the orders of the generals of various departments, more than 3,000 horsemen of the Han army handed over the burning torches in their hands to the horsemen, and threw the torches to the last cavalry of the army to the rear. Then, by the faint light of the moon, on the dark road ahead, Le Ma walked forward.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

……

The Xianbei cavalry chasing behind saw that the Han army abandoned the torches, suddenly felt something different, and before thinking about it, he heard the cavalry in the front row exclaimed, and then, there were dozens of horses off the horse, and hurriedly frightened, many cavalry immediately reined in the horse, thinking that there was an ambush of the Han army here, and the other cavalry who had no time to rein in the horse detoured to pursue, and suddenly the middle of the Xianbei camp was empty, and the left and right marched left and right.

After a few moments, they saw the Xianbei cavalry who fell to the ground get up, although these cavalrymen fell very painfully, but they had been used to riding horses for many years, endured the pain and got up, and then looked at the real culprit who caused them to fall off their horses for no reason. When they saw the torches that had been extinguished by the horse's hooves and were smoking, they understood that they had fallen for the Han people.

They hurriedly lifted up their beloved horses, and if there were good hooves that could still be pursued, they immediately continued to chase on the horses, while some of the horses' hooves were broken, and the horses could no longer run, so they could only give up completely......

It turned out that after Fuquan ordered the Han soldiers to extinguish the torches and then throw them on the back road, those torches were thrown several zhang away, and they were all torches that were not completely extinguished.

At this time, the war horses did not hold the hooves, and the temperature of foreign objects under the hooves was extremely sensitive, and because the torches were paved very long, even if these war horses could endure a section of the road, but it was impossible to endure the high temperature for a long time.

Of course, these are just plans that Fu Quan came up with on a whim, after all, as long as the Xianbei soldiers can be delayed, there is a lot more hope for the Han army to break through.

Moreover, the benefits of the Han army's abandonment of torches are still appearing, only to see the Xianbei people who continue to chase behind, and then imagine the suitability, with feather arrows behind the Han army, without scruples to shoot arrows, the difficulty has increased.

As for the reason, it is naturally that the visibility is extremely low in the dark night, and after the Han army extinguishes the torches, those Xianbei cavalry who are aiming completely lose their aim. Although there was moonlight shining, this bit of light could only allow them to vaguely see the target in front of them, and there was no comparison between the movements, which undoubtedly made it difficult for them to aim.

The final result is also obvious, those Xianbei people can only rely on their own feelings, shooting arrows indiscriminately in front of them, so that the accuracy of archery and the killing of the Han army are naturally reduced a lot, many feather arrows are either off the direction, or the force is too far, and the shooting on the Han army is also very light, and the iron armor on their bodies cannot be broken at all.

Seeing this, Fuquan breathed a sigh of relief, at least for the time being, but it was only night. As soon as tonight passes, unless the pursuers behind all disappear, the Han army will repeat the situation of being chased by the Xianbei people by arrows just now, and in the daytime, the situation is even more complicated, once the Han army is caught up by the Xianbei people, waiting for their results, there is only death left.
