Everyone was full of strength and prepared to fight to the death with the Hu people. In order to make a quick decision, Shi Min ordered two thousand men and horses on the left and right, and detoured back to www.biquge.info the left and right flanks of the Qiang people, forcing them not to fully expand the formation.

Unlike the infantry fighting style, the advantage of cavalry is its great mobility, which allows it to advance and retreat freely. According to the report sent by Shi Min, there are only a small number of cavalry guarding the periphery of the Qiang people, and most of the rest are scattered, and thousands of men and horses are still driving tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, pulling gold and silver, and the marching speed will not be too fast.

In this way, Shi Min's advantages are shown. A cavalryman who has lost its mobility is no different from a foot soldier, and may even be inferior to a foot soldier.

For several days, Shi Min and his thousands of men and horses were like an old wolf, patiently following the prey of the Qiang people. And now, it's time to strike the fatal blow.

The two armies were only seven or eight miles apart, and not long after Shi Min's army rushed out, they were discovered by the Qiang cavalry on the periphery. Shi Min's army was menacing, and those scattered Qiang people on the periphery ran away, and some were shot off their horses by Shi Min's arrow before they could run.

"Chief! Oh no! The army of Zhao is chasing after you! ”

"What! Are you dazzled? This news completely surprised Mudu.

As soon as the words fell, the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves came from behind the Qiang people. Mu Du woke up like a dream, and then turned back, Shi Min's men and horses had already rushed towards them like a sea of mountains.

Shi Min took the lead and rushed to the front, and Mu Du recognized the vermilion horse at a glance, and his heart suddenly panicked.

"Why is this plague god again!" Mu Du scolded in his heart.

"Chief, what should I do?" One of Mudu's subordinates asked.

"Leave two thousand men to intercept, and the rest of the people quickly retreat south! After the river, it's our territory! They will not dare to pursue it deeply! Fast! "Mudu decisively ordered a retreat.

Mu Du never thought that Shi Min's men and horses would chase them out of Yanmen Pass, and they followed them for so many days. In the two previous fights with Shi Min, Mu Du was already afraid of this Han boy in his heart, both times it was a round, and he almost died in his hands, Mu Du was terrified when he thought about it.

The Qiang people are born to be fierce, and it is their nature to plunder, devour and kill warlike. Mu Du gave an order, and the two thousand men and horses turned around and rushed towards Shi Min.

Mu Du hurriedly retreated south with cattle, sheep, gold and silver, for them, these are the things they rely on for survival, to a certain extent, this is more important than their lives.

In order to achieve a quick victory, Shi Min ordered all his soldiers not to retreat, and to strive to kill with one blow. And he himself, also switched to the right hand hook sickle, left hand halberd, left pick right stab, every time he shot, the Qiang people encountered were all broken, no power to fight back, and also like into no man's land, single-handedly broke through the defense line of 2,000 Qiang people.

Mu Du didn't care about the 2,000 men and horses left behind to block the attack, all he wanted was the gold, silver, cattle and sheep he had robbed.

At this time, the retreating Qiang people found that the troops of Zhao had also appeared on their left and right sides, and the situation was very serious for the Qiang people.

"Chief! Stop worrying about these cows and sheep! We Qiang people are not soft eggs, and if we are chased and beaten like this, we will all die! Mudu's attendant shouted.

"Fart! Without these cattle and sheep, we would all starve to death! "Mudu is obviously reluctant to give up these looted things.

"When people die, what's the use of these cattle and sheep!"

"Take as much as you can! You can't throw it all away! Otherwise, so many people would have died in vain! ”

Seeing that the leader was so stubborn, Mudu's attendants were helpless, and ordered his subordinates: "Let the leader go!" Others are up to me! ”

Mu Du didn't look at it, just let his subordinates drive the cattle and sheep to continue to retreat south, and at this time, the left and right flanks of the Qiang people had basically been surrounded, and their cavalry could not be dispersed, so they could only directly engage with Shi Min's subordinates.

Shi Min took more than 2,000 people, like a sharp blade, straight into Mu Du's back, and the 2,000 men and horses he left to intercept before were not able to stop Shi Min.

Due to the lack of command and the fact that the leader only cares about fleeing for his life, even if the Qiang people can fight well, it is only a plate of scattered sand.

On the other hand, Shi Min and his subordinates are all highly motivated, on the one hand, because their grain and grass are exhausted, if they don't defeat the Qiang people to seize the grain and grass, then there is really no room for maneuver. On the other hand, Yunzhong County was looted, with heavy casualties, and most of the people killed were Han Chinese, so Shi Min and his subordinates were eager to crush these Hu people to ashes in order to vent their hatred.

Mu Du led his men to fight and retreat, and he was never able to get rid of Shi Min and his subordinates' pursuit.

Finally, Mu Du realized that if he took care of these cattle and sheep again, he was afraid that his life would be lost here, so he ordered: "Quickly retreat south!" Leave these cows and sheep alone! ”

When Mu Du's subordinates heard the leader's order, they naturally couldn't wait to throw down the cattle and sheep and retreat south with the leader.

Mu Du has no intention of fighting again, he is not Da Shan Yu, he does not have that kind of courage and courage, in his opinion, even Da Shan Yu can only fight with Shi Min for more than a dozen rounds, Shi Min can be said to be definitely a ghostly existence.

Shi Min saw the movement of the Qiang people for the first time, and understood that Mudu was finally going to give up the cattle, sheep, gold and silver and run away, so he decisively ordered: "Zhang Mufeng, order everyone to avoid the cattle and sheep, and chase and kill the Qiang people first!" ”

Tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, the war horses could not pass at all, so they could only bypass and continue to chase and kill.

The Qiang people's army spirit has been dispersed, Shi Min led the people to chase after them, killing more than 2,000 Qiang people all the way, most of the Qiang people were shot from behind with arrows, either fell to death on the spot, or were trampled to death by the horses behind, and suffered heavy losses.

The battle lasted from noon to evening, and Mu Du fled frantically with the only remaining more than 2,000 people around him, and before he could see the pontoon bridge, he saw hundreds of people rushing towards them, and the people who came were Xue Zan's men and horses.

"Rush over!" Mudu ordered to shout!

Although there are only about 2,000 Qiang people left, it is impossible for more than 300 people to stop a few thousand people on the flat grassland. However, these Qiang people did not want to entangle with Xue Zan's men and horses, and only wanted to retreat to the south of the river.

Mudu had almost heard the rushing water, but still hadn't seen their own camp. He asked his attendants in a loud voice: "What about our people! ”

"Surely they killed me! Chieftain! We can't retreat any further south! The bridge over the river is definitely no longer crossable! Mudu's attendant shouted.

"Where to retreat?" Mudu asked.

"Retreat to the east! There are mountains in the east, and when they enter the mountains and forests, it will be difficult for them to chase! Most of our left flank are the defenders of Yanmen Pass, they are weak in combat, and we have every chance to break through! ”

"Good! Listen to you! Break through to the east! ”

Mu Du was actually panicked, so he could only follow the advice of his subordinates and lead his people to break through to the east.

The desire to survive is the instinct of people and animals, and the mediocre Mu Du finally picked up the saber and fought with his only remaining men, and the two thousand Qiang people were also like crazy, bursting out with amazing combat effectiveness, and the men and horses on the left flank were a little difficult to resist.

Shi Min's men and horses were blocked by cattle, sheep and horses, and in the process of pursuit, it was inevitable that they would lag a little, and Mudu's sudden change of retreat direction really made the people and horses in the east unable to take care of it, and they were simply rushed out of the encirclement by Mudu, but there were only a few hundred people left.

It was already dark, Shi Min's men and horses had been hungry for more than a day, and they had been fighting fiercely for most of the day, and their physical strength was very strong, and some soldiers could hardly even hold their knives.

"Major General! Let that Qiang leader take the lead! Xue Zan ran over with someone and shouted.

"General Xue! It's good that you're all right! Shi Min was very excited to see that Xue Zan was still alive.

"It's a pity that I couldn't catch a turtle in the urn!" Xue Zan said with some frustration.

"Are all the pontoon bridges in the south destroyed?" Shi Min asked.

"It's ruined! There are only a dozen slippery iron chains left, and the war horses of the Qiang people can't cross the river! Please rest assured! Xue Zan looked confident, and said, "Young General, do you want to continue chasing?" ”

Shi Min looked at the soldiers around him, all of them were hungry and tired, and if he chased after him, there would be no result, so he could only say helplessly: "Rest for the night, after replenishing tomorrow morning, let Wang Chong lead the way, and we will go east to chase the fish that slipped through the net." ”
