After turning around, before he could run far, Li Yanzhao found the "tail" hanging behind him. These Hun horsemen came from far and near, all staring at Li Yanzhao and this handful of people with excited expressions.

Presumably, these Huns suffered a lot of setbacks at the mouth of the valley. The coincidental appearance of himself undoubtedly provided them with an outlet for catharsis. These Hun horsemen chased after them from behind with high spirits, and at the same time spoke nonsense loudly and unscrupulously to each other.

Li Yanzhao saw that these Hun cavalry in the rear were chasing after them, so he turned back to the cavalry guards who were protecting him on the left and right and said, "These dog thieves just happened to be used to relieve their boredom. Ladies and gentlemen, walk the dog with me! Then he turned around and glanced at the Hun horsemen who were about to chase thirty paces away, and then he clamped his legs in the belly of the horse, and at the same time pulled the reins with his left hand, and the horse neighed and galloped to the left.

The war horses ridden by Li Yanzhao and these people were all physically strong war horses that were transferred before setting off from Taniguchi. Compared with the Hun cavalry who galloped for most of the day, the difference in horsepower is incomparable.

Several people first galloped towards the valley mouth, widening the gap between themselves and the Hun pursuers to nearly fifty paces. Then they turned their horses' heads and slowed down their horses slightly, intending to let the Hun pursuers chase closer to thirty paces away. Just as the pursuers were bending their bows and arrows on their horses, preparing to use a rain of arrows to baptize them, under Li Yanzhao's order, everyone drove the horses to speed up, and in a blink of an eye, the Huns were thrown out of the range of bows and arrows.

Seeing this, the officer of the Hun cavalry shot his arrows in vain at their distant backs. The arrow flew forty paces away, but finally ran out of strength and landed in the dust behind Li Yanzhao and the others, who had gone away. In the blink of an eye, it was lost in the dust raised by the horse's hooves, and he was nowhere to be found.

Seeing that the people in front of him were already out of the range of bows and arrows, the leader of the Hun cavalry shouted a few words in Hu in anger, and then led more than ten of his men to chase in the direction of Li Yanzhao and the others on horseback.

Li Yanzhao saw that those Hun horsemen were entangled, so he simply took them around in a big circle. Then continue to gallop in the direction of Taniguchi. Those Hun cavalrymen who were in hot pursuit, but always kept a distance of thirty or fifty steps away from Li Yanzhao and others, saw them rush into the valley. The leading officers shouted nonsense, and they all turned their horses, gave up the pursuit, and returned to their own line.

Seeing that after slipping around, he failed to lure the opponent's ten or so horsemen to his own ambush line, although Li Yanzhao was slightly disappointed, but the other party's performance was also expected. After he returned, he gave an order to Shao Lei, who had been changing horses in the valley for a long time: "Attack! ”

Shao Lei nodded to Li Yanzhao with a tacit understanding, and then he took out the ring knife on his waist, waved it vigorously, and ordered the twenty or so people under him: "Out-——! ”

These more than 20 people immediately urged the war horses to pursue Li Yanzhao towards Fangcai, and at this time, not far from the valley mouth, the Hun cavalry who was about to turn the horses back pursued them.

The Hun cavalry was about to turn their horses back, and then the sound of horses' hooves from the mouth of the valley made the officer they led the team frown.

While driving the war horse under his crotch, he turned his head to look behind, but saw that at the mouth of the valley, twenty horsemen were rushing out, waving a bright war knife, and rushing towards them. In comparison, the officers of the Hun Sentinel made a correct choice: flee.

The Huns were skilled in horse archery, so even when they fled, they still took their bows and arrows and shot at the cavalry who were pursuing them in the rear. Caught off guard, two or three of the pursuing horsemen were still hit by arrows. The man who was hit by the arrow gripped the reins of his horse and held on to the stirrups with both feet so that he would not fall off his horse.

In countless exercises, Li Yanzhao has repeatedly emphasized one point to these horsemen. That is to ride on the battlefield to fight, and never fall off the horse easily. Once the horse falls, it is a doom.

Although these horsemen practiced hard, they also kept in mind the things taught by the generals such as the hundred generals. However, the weakness of this cavalry was also exposed.

The two horsemen who were hit by the arrow, one in the shoulder socket, the other in the left arm of the left hand, and because there was no iron armor to cover the body, the front chest was also hit by an arrow. They now have to struggle to maintain their balance on horseback so that they don't fall off the horse immediately.

However, after all, the battle formation was inexperienced, and they did not know how to break away from the team and make way for the Tongze people who were galloping in the rear, and secondly, they could no longer wield their weapons to fight after being wounded by such arrows. Staying in the ranks in vain will only become an obstacle to the brigade.

Seeing this, Shao Lei shouted loudly and ordered the two wounded horsemen to leave the team and return to the valley to prepare for some simple wound treatment. Seeing that the two of them cautiously withdrew from the team, Shao Lei raised his knife with a big hand, pointed obliquely at the Hun cavalry who was fleeing forward, and ordered his subordinates: "Fight back!" ”

Shao Lei's voice fell, and these horsemen were already holding their bows in their hands, and a wave of arrows shot towards the Hun cavalry more than 20 paces away with a terrible howl.

The horsemen skillfully clamped the horse's belly with their legs, using the stirrups as the fulcrum of their feet, and then freed their hands, and released arrows again and again, and in a blink of an eye there were two or three waves of arrows out, and those Hun horsemen who were running away were two people who fell from the horse in a blink of an eye.

The Hun cavalry who fled in front of them originally thought that these chasing cavalrymen would not have much strength to fight back if they were at a sufficient distance. However, when the waves of arrows came from behind, they were shocked. Looking back and carefully observing the costumes of the cavalry chasing behind, it was indeed not Hu Cai, but more like the Jin army they had seen before.

After some observation, they were all surprised. It has never been said that there are cavalry troops in the Jin army who are so good at cavalry and archery, so what is the origin of these cavalry soldiers who are chasing them?

Before they could think of a result, the Liangzhou cavalry under the cover of endless arrows, with the advantage of horsepower, was gradually chasing closer, until they were more than ten paces away behind them.

"Kill!" With Shao Lei's dull but thunderous roar, the horsemen under him had already taken off their swords and guns in their hands, and under the leadership of Shao Lei, they urged their horses one after another, and galloped towards the Hun horsemen in front!

The Hun cavalry was short of horsepower, and no matter how hard they tried to urge the horses under their crotches, forcing them to explore their potential, galloping as fast as possible to get rid of the pursuers behind them, but there were still a few horses with overdrawn physical strength, and gradually widened the distance between them and the brigade.

Shao Lei saw that a few steps ahead of him, a Hun cavalry had fallen behind, and no matter how hard he tried to urge the war horse, the war horse was only running slower and slower. How could Shao Lei let go of such a good opportunity? After urging the horses to accelerate again, there was a cry of "Kill!" Before the roar came out, the spear in his hand had already pierced the back of the Hun cavalry with the help of the horse.

Shao Lei has been in the cavalry camp for a long time, and there are not a few battles he has experienced. Therefore, he did not use all his strength to stab this shot with the horse's momentum. So after the head of the gun pierced the opponent's back, it also stopped quickly. Shao Lei took advantage of the horse's momentum, and with a light shake of his right hand, he had already picked the horseman off the horse, and as the horse's hooves rumbled forward, he was already submerged in a blink of an eye. Passing by the horse's hooves, there was only a few faint sounds of bones shattering.

The Guangwu cavalry rushed out of the valley for more than a hundred steps, and the bow and arrow shooting combined with the pursuit and killing had beheaded the five Hun cavalrymen off their horses. The rest of the people probably couldn't chase for a while because of the relatively strong horsepower. Seeing that he was approaching the Hun brigade, Shao Lei simply restrained his horse and ordered his subordinate horsemen to turn their horses and return to the valley.

The remaining Hun cavalry fled back to the main camp in shock, and talked about the encounter with the leading general for a while, but the general was also surprised. He rode forward a few steps, climbed a small dirt slope, and quietly observed the valley mouth where Li Yanzhao's cavalry was guarding.

At this time, the situation was in a difficult situation for him. The more than 100 people under his command are at the exits of several mountain ranges. But it's a small flat land with a radius of less than two miles. However, the two opponents he is facing now are already guarding the valley.

The previous attack on the valley mouth in the north had caused him to lose his troops. Those generals who were chased and killed by them on the flat ground, after entering the valley mouth, were like dragons entering the water and tigers entering the forest. Seeing that it is difficult to extinguish. However, at this time, another cavalry unit appeared at the mouth of the valley to the west, which made him feel more and more uneasy.

If there were only twenty or so people encountered by his subordinate officers, then the cavalry on the west side was nothing to worry about. It is advisable to leave a force to monitor the valley mouth in the north, and the rest will go to the west to destroy the cavalry, and then join forces to attack the north, and finally destroy both sides one after another.

After thinking about the decision, the Xiongnu general divided half of his cavalry, handed it over to one of his subordinates, and ordered him to tentatively attack the valley mouth in the west to find out the truth of the opponent. If there are a large number of opponents, they will return. If the other party only had met the twenty or so men before, and sent someone back to deliver the message, he would naturally send the whole brigade to exterminate the cavalry.

Now, outside of their own tribe, there are these cavalrymen who are good at equestrian riding and archery, and what will happen in the long run? The Hun general had already made up his mind that if possible, he would destroy this cavalry here, and never make it stronger.

However, before he had time to fight his wishful thinking, the subordinate who had sent a tentative attack returned in disgrace, and told him that the cavalry had withdrawn into the valley, and then he had blocked the passage of the valley with the fallen trees from the mountain. As soon as he approached, arrows were fired from the higher hills on the side of the valley so that they could not come near. Seeing that the number of people on the other side is at least fifty or sixty.

When the Xiongnu generals heard the report of their subordinates, they looked at the valley mouth to the north unwillingly. It was still guarded by the remnants of the army he had pursued. I don't know if they knew that help was coming, or if they were cornered and had to fight to the death. Taniguchi was tightly guarded by them.

Now, as soon as his warriors approach Taniguchi, they will be confronted with arrows from all directions. Even stones dropped from the mountains on both sides. Although there were only fifty or sixty of those remnants left, if they attacked by force, they would lose many of their own warriors.

Even if he was unwilling, the Hun general could only sigh at this time, and then reluctantly issued an order: "Withdraw." ”

Faced with the two sides occupying the dangerous territory of Taniguchi, he was not sure that he would turn either side into his own military exploits. Therefore, despite reluctance, he gave the order to retreat in order to avoid greater losses.

When his subordinates heard the order to retreat, they were immediately pardoned. The remaining less than a hundred people quickly tied Tong Ze's body and the small amount of war loot captured to the back of the vacant war horse, and then turned back and left this place that was extremely depressing for them without stopping.
