Chapter 351: Stalling for Time

Half an hour later, the rear army of the Han army and the front army of the Xianbei cavalry were only 500 paces away. It seems that there is a tendency to be overtaken by the Xianbei cavalry.

"Slow down and get ready to change."

Tian Feng ordered 4,000 Han cavalry and 3,000 Xianbei cavalry.

After the commanders of the various divisions received the order, the army slowed down the speed of the horses.

Due to the slowing down of the march, it only took a moment for the Xianbei cavalry in the rear to chase a mile away. And it's still getting closer little by little.

"Transfer!"

Tian Feng gave an order, and the Han army drove the empty horse's horse forward, parallel to the horse they were riding.

The speed of the horse belongs to the state of slow running, and the person sits on the horse and does not have much bump.

Tian Feng stood up on the stirrups, saw the opportunity, stepped forward, and landed firmly on the horse.

The rest of the Han cavalry and the Han Xianbei cavalry made the same move.

Thousands of times of practice is to perform perfectly in actual combat, whether it is Han or Xianbei, no one misses.

At this time, the pursuers behind were only three hundred steps away from the Han army......

And the Han army and the Han Xianbei army have already changed their mounts.

The original horse was relieved of the burden, and the speed was raised again.

The horses they are sitting on now used to run empty without losing much strength, and they can still run fast in a short time after carrying weights on their backs.

Now the distance between the two sides is only 200 paces, and these 200 paces have become a distance that the Xianbei cavalry can no longer catch up.

The impact speed of the Xianbei cavalry was much worse than before, and after the Han army transferred, it could be seen that the speed of the two sides was gradually pulling away.

300 steps......

400 steps......

Erli ......

Four miles......

Dustless ......

Que Ju, Su Li and others looked anxious, and ordered the soldiers to speed up one by one, but no matter how often the horse whip was used, it would not help.

There is always a limit to the continuous and desperate impact of the horse, and after the limit, the speed will drop significantly.

Han and Xianbei are all good horses in the north, why can Xianbei catch up with the Han army with one person and two horses?

The Han army deliberately delayed the Xianbei cavalry, and when it was in the desert hundreds of miles northeast of Dai County, the Han army changed horses again.

After changing horses, the Han army paused, and one let the horses rest; The second waited for the Xianbei cavalry to lure them.

At this time, it was already dusk, and it was about to get dark. Tian Feng's purpose has been achieved.

On Xianbei's side, due to the long-distance run, the horses were tired, and the Xianbei commander had to order a rest.

After a moment of rest, Xianbei continued to march.

"Tell the marshal, the Han army is ten miles away." A Xianbei ranger bowed to the leader.

"Boys, rush!" Que Ji raised his horse and waved his knife. The Han army kept fleeing, which made him angry, and he vowed not to give up until he destroyed this group of Han troops.

"Slow!" The leader hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Que Ji, he already understood that the Han army intended to delay them, even if they caught up, it would be in vain.

The march of the Han army with one man and two horses seemed to be a drag, but its effect was unexpected.

"What?" Que Ji Le Ma questioned.

"We have fallen for the Han army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" The leader replied to Que Ji and the others, and then said, "Don't forget the purpose of our alliance?"

"We mobilized our troops to gather in the north, crossed from the desert, and came to the north of Yanmen, just to catch the Han army by surprise. Although Yu was discovered by the Han army scouts, we still took the lead. Today, the Han army does not fight with our army, and has been fleeing and delaying, which must be to send troops to defend us in the future. What the boss said is true! After hearing this, Micah suddenly realized and answered.

Que Ju is not a tendon, listening to the analysis of the two of them, pondering carefully in my heart, it does make sense.

If he waives his army to chase after him, he will definitely be slipped like a dog.

"What now?" Sully asked the Quire.

"Go back the way you came, camp and rest for the night. Early tomorrow morning, the entire army of 80,000 will step into Yanmen with the momentum of wind and clouds. "The leader advises to play steady.

"What if that group of Han soldiers is entangled?" Que Ji asked him.

"It's really brave and unscrupulous. If they dare to attack, I only need to mention my own subordinates, and I can destroy all the Han army. ”

Su Li snorted coldly, and while belittling Que Ji, he raised himself.

"Just you? You are okay with sheep and horses, but you are vulnerable on the battlefield. Since ancient times, how can there be a reason for the number of people to have an advantage and retreat without a fight? Since ancient times, how can there be a thing where thousands of people and horses cannot be subdued? What a shame for our people. ”

Que Ji regarded Su Li's words as if they were a piece of, and ridiculed each other.

"If you don't want to speak wildly, do you dare to fight me?" Su Li was angry and pointed at Que Ji and said, he felt that he had been humiliated.

"Don't argue between the two of you, our army has lost the first opportunity, before the battle, the internal chaos first, the Han army takes advantage of the weakness to enter, and our army will be defeated." The leader was very annoyed and warned the two of them loudly.

Que Ji and Su Li no longer spoke, but in their hearts they listed each other as mortal enemies.

The two are already in conflict on the territory, and when the contradiction cannot be resolved, there is only merger. Whoever is more powerful will be able to annex whomever he wants. It is also possible that the snipe and the clam are competing and being reaped by the fisherman.

Tian Feng waited for a long time, but he didn't see the figure of the Xianbei cavalry and the sound of horses' hooves.

After Tian Feng sent someone to investigate, Fang knew that the Xianbei cavalry had already turned around and left. However, there were many rangers along the rear of the Xianbei cavalry.

"Do you want to chase after him and harass him with a bow and arrow?" Sima of Part C suggested to Tian Feng.

"Today, the Xianbei cavalry is tired and tired but returns in vain, and in this regard, there must be vigilance. rashly blocked, it is likely to be surrounded by Xianbei. We have bought a lot of time for the people, and as long as the Xianbei cavalry does not go south at night, the people will have time to withdraw to the pass. Just in case, our army should rush back to Xiahu to cover the retreat of the people and guard the pass. ”

Tian Feng thought that the Xianbei Labor Division was on an expedition and had no energy to fight at night. But he still tried it safely.

……

The Guangning Pass of the Great Wall, hundreds of miles south of Tian Feng's army, is one of the important passes in Shanggu County. Resist the main pass of Xianbei's southward movement.

When Zhang Liao led 5,000 cavalry to the east, he borrowed the garrison here. Only separated by Dai County, west of Yanmen.

This is not Zhang Liao's own opinion, nor is it Jia Xu's decision, but Liu Fan's meaning.

Only he knew that Zhang Chun, who was arrogant and claimed to be the king, was a dry bone in the grave, and in a few months, Liu Yu would be able to pacify Zhang Chun without much effort.

Why should he add to the chaos and increase the number of deaths and wounds?

Weighing the pros and cons, Liu Fan ordered Zhang Liao to send more troops to attack the wilderness on the grounds of Xianbei's invasion of Shanggu, in order to wait for Liaoxi to subside.

When Zhang Liao received the letter spread by Jia Xu, it was already dusk. The soldiers were very fast, and Zhang Liao immediately ordered the whole army to set off.

Walk until midnight, and arrive at the outside of Daijun Pass.

Zhang Liao ordered to be stationed in Heru, a hundred miles west of here, is Xia Lake.

Without knowing it, Zhang Liao did not march blindly. The soldiers did not rest during the day, marched in the middle of the night at night, and their morale was not sharp, and no matter what the situation, they should not attack at this time.

Zhang Liao sent people to Xia Lake to inquire about the situation, and at the same time sent people back to Qiangyin to learn the news.

It is intended that tomorrow morning, tactics will be worked out.
