Everyone ran more than 3 miles away, Gao Shun stopped running, stopped, didn't care about the image, sat down on the beach all of a sudden, and said: "Hey, I'm tired to death, rest for a while." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

By this time, the moon had completely set, and the earth was covered in darkness, and it was pitch black, and I could not see my fingers, and I could not walk at all.

Under the cover of night, Li Qiang and the others didn't have to pay attention to their image, they all sat on the beach, panting heavily.

Tonight was really exciting, both excited and nervous, Li Qiang and the others felt that the trip was worthwhile, and even the 20 pikemen were smiling and looking very excited.

The Xianbei people have become a flock of lambs to the slaughter, and the cavalry has lost its horses, just like a tiger has lost its claws and teeth, and there is no threat to Mayi County.

In the summer, the morning dawned, everyone rested for less than an hour, and at about 4 o'clock, the east gradually brightened, and the darkness gradually receded. Gao Shun and the others also relieved themselves.

Gao Shun checked the system and found that a total of 1,888 war horses had been exchanged, so he asked Li Qiang and others to count the number of horses in the ring.

Li Qiang counted it and said, "General, there are a total of 51 horse corpses in the rings of the three of us. ”

In total, there are less than 2,000 war horses, and it seems that there are still omissions.

Li Qiang asked, "General, how many horses have you exchanged?" ”

Gao Shun said: "I exchanged 1,888 horses, you have 51 horses, a total of 1,939 war horses, I estimate that some of them have slipped through the net, or they have brought war horses into the village." ”

Li Qiang comforted: "General, it's hard to say, the troops of the grassland tribes are not full, how can it happen to be 2,000 horses?" It's normal to have less. ”

"It is better to believe what you have, than to be careless; Now I order Zhou Fei to return to the county seat as soon as possible, and bring the cavalry to reinforce quickly, and strive to completely annihilate the Xianbei Thousand People; Leave Zhao Zizhuang to continue to defend the city, just in case. Gao Shun ordered, in this way, the cavalry in his system does not need to be released for the time being, and can be used at more critical moments.

"Yes, General." Zhou Fei accepted the order unconditionally.

The small bridge they passed when they came was more than 5 miles to the north, and Zhou Fei quickly left and ran in the direction of the small bridge.

"General, what are we going to do next?" Li Qiang asked.

Gao Shun said: "Let's keep an eye on these Xianbei people and don't let them escape." "Anyway, the enemy has no horses, even if they escape, they won't run far before we will catch up, and he also has a special function of the system map, which can find those Xianbei people who are hiding.

Zhou Fei hurried north, at this time he was very anxious, worried about the safety of the general; After crossing the small bridge, Zhou Fei immediately released the horse, quickly got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and quickly rushed to the county seat of Mayi; The distance of 6 miles will be there in a moment.

In the early morning, on the open plain, the sound of horses' hooves was heard far away, and the soldiers guarding the city gate saw people running towards the county seat on horseback; At that time, it was Baude who was on duty at the city gates.

Zhou Fei arrived at the city gate and shouted, "I'm Zhou Fei, open the door quickly." ”

Bao De knew Zhou Fei and did not dare to slack off, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and let him enter the city.

Zhou Fei came to the county government and sent someone to inform Zhao Xiong to come immediately.

Zhao Xiong was very happy to see Zhou Fei coming back, and asked forward, "Where is the general?" How are they? ”

"The general is spying on the Xianbei people, we have stolen all the horses of the Xianbei people, and now they are toothless tigers, the general sent me to transfer cavalry and strive to annihilate them all."

"Do you need infantry? What about logistical baggage? Zhao Xiong asked.

"Bring 2 days of dry rations, no need for heavy troops."

Zhao Xiong suggested: "This is not good, I think it is better to send a team of junior infantry and a tun of sword and shield soldiers to escort grain and grass." ”

Zhou Fei thought about it for a while, and felt that the Xianbei people lost their horses, and the war would soon be over; And at the beginning, Gao Shun just asked him to transfer cavalry to support, and did not say anything about the infantry, so he was not good at making the decision alone; Besides, if infantry is needed at the front, it won't take long to come back and deploy; This suggestion was not accepted.

The war was approaching, Xu Fu and Cao Xing were on duty in the barracks, their clothes and armor were not untied, and after receiving the order, they immediately summoned all the Dubos to come to discuss the matter.

Zhou Fei explained the situation to everyone, and everyone was very excited.

Zhao Xiong ordered: "The soldiers will eat immediately, the miscellaneous servants will feed the horses and drink water, and the logistics will prepare dry food, and they will set off in half an hour." ”

"Yes, county magistrate." The crowd split up and prepared for battle.

After the order was given, the cavalry was very excited, and they all wanted to kill the enemy to avenge and make meritorious achievements; The most exciting thing is Gao Qiang, I wanted to take the opportunity to come out and play once, but I didn't expect to catch up with the big war, I was so lucky.

The news that the cavalry was going to fight soon spread throughout the county, and the people of the county spontaneously came to the east gate of the county to see them off, they were in a sad mood, these good men who went out to fight, I don't know how many people will die on the battlefield, and how many people can return safely?

At half past five o'clock, the sky was already bright, and Zhao Xiong and others stood on the high platform in front of the cavalry.

Zhao Xiong asked, "The big war is coming, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid, kill the enemy!"

Zhao Xiong said: "The cavalry was first built, many people did not receive systematic training, if you feel that you are not good at riding, you can stay in the barracks this time, you don't have to fight, I won't blame you, those who are willing to stay will quit the queue." ”

No one quit.

Zhao Xiong said: "Okay, you are all good, you are all good men in my state; If you are a man, you will go to the battlefield and accept the test of blood and fire, and after the baptism of the battlefield, you can become an elite to defend your home and country; Now, I wish you all victory! ”

"Yes, county magistrate."

Zhou Fei led the cavalry out of the county one after another, and the crowd along the way kept shouting slogans, hoping that they would fight bravely to kill the enemy and return safely.

In order to ensure that there was still enough horsepower and physical strength after arriving at the battlefield, the speed of the march was not fast, and it was maintained at more than 10 miles per hour.

At this time, the Xianbei people had found that all their horses were lost, and the commander of the thousand was shocked for a long time without speaking, they were finished, and the thousand team was finished. Since the enemy can steal all their horses without knowing it, he will definitely have a back hand, and he will never let them go easily.

Ten centurions surrounded the centurion and asked, "Commander, we are too careless, what should we do now?" ”

"Commander, give the order, let's retreat quickly."

The commander asked rhetorically, "Retreat?" Can we still withdraw? A distance of hundreds of miles, how many days do you need to run? There are no horses, no food, and the pursuers are coming, how can we escape? ”

Everyone was shocked, isn't this a copy of Ma Yi's plan a hundred years ago? Everyone couldn't help but think that they had fallen for the tricks of the Han people, no wonder they didn't even see a figure along the way, it turned out that they had already prepared.

"Can't we wait here to die?" Someone asked.

The commander thought for a moment and said, "First centurion, immediately ride back to the tribe, report to the tribe, and send troops to rescue us." ”

"The enemy must have been prepared, and it is difficult for one person to rush out."

The commander thought for a moment, it was true, the enemy must have been prepared, so he changed an order: "Each man leaves a war horse, selects an excellent rider from each hundred-man team, breaks through separately, and returns to the tribe to bring rescue troops, and the rest of the personnel will stay with me and wait for help." "Thanks to the fact that the centurion cherished his horses at that time, and did not let them out to eat, but fed them with high-quality horse feed, less than 30 horses were saved.

"Yes, Commander." The centurions immediately went to make arrangements.

Everyone thought that this was the best way, if they fled and the enemy cavalry came after them, they would be lambs to the slaughter, and they would stay in the village, at least protected by the wall, and a small number of enemies would not be able to attack them.

After a long time, the personnel were selected, and the commander gave them a detailed explanation, and then sent them out of the village, sighing in his heart, not knowing how many people could return to the tribe safely. Ignoring anything else, the commander immediately ordered each hundred-man team to block the passage into the village, and each defended a section of it, resolutely sniping the enemy's attack.

Gao Shun checked the system map from time to time, and the red dots in the village did not move on a large scale.

Suddenly, he found 10 red dots moving quickly, and went out of the village from several directions, heading east, Gao Shun estimated that he was moving rescue troops, since the enemy's large force did not move, so he was relieved.

So Gao Shun ordered 20 pikemen to continue to wait here, and if Zhou Fei led the cavalry to arrive, let the cavalry surround the village, drag the enemy, and if the enemy held the village, return to the county seat and transfer all the infantry to surround the village. Then lead Li Qiang and Cao Shan to chase after the 10 Xianbei cavalry who delivered the message, and they must be killed, and they must not be allowed to send the information out.
