Gao Shun and the others' horses are at least thousands of horses, while the middle horses of the Xianbei people are a few grades worse, and with the help of special map functions, how can they escape the pursuit?

Gao Shun and the three of them went east unhurriedly, while the Xianbei cavalry went around in a circle, hoping to get rid of the pursuit, in fact, they were completely useless, but this move saved Gao Shun and the others a lot of time.

Gao Shun ordered Li Qiang and Cao Shan to each pursue and kill the nearest Xianbei cavalryman, and then join him to the east. The two of them knew the local terrain very well, and no matter how the Xianbei people broke through, they would eventually return to this ancient road north of the water.

Acting separately, Gao Shun's pursuit efficiency is the highest.

The Xianbei cavalry had no intention of fighting, and only cared about escaping, but their horses were too slow, and they were either shot off their horses by arrows, or they were chased and beheaded directly, in front of Gao Shun and others, they had no power to resist.

In less than 1 hour, 10 Xianbei messengers were killed.

At this time, the cavalry troops, under the leadership of Zhou Fei, surrounded the small village where the Xianbei people were located, and the Xianbei people relied on bows and arrows to snipe the cavalry to attack, and they had blocked the passage into the village; Zhou Fei had no choice but to send people back to the county seat to mobilize infantry to attack the village according to Gao Shun's order.

Although there were only a few hundred cavalry outside the village, the Xianbei people in the village did not dare to break through; They secretly rejoiced, fortunately, the commander of the thousand commanders had judged correctly, otherwise their troops would have been slaughtered by the Han cavalry in the field; At present, they can only pray that the 10 cavalrymen who returned to report the news will escape the pursuit of the Han and return to the tribe to bring in rescue troops.

Xu Fu, Cao Xing and others saw that the Xianbei people were surrounded in the village, and heard Zhou Feiyan's words that their horses had been stolen, and they immediately lifted their spirits.

When the other horsemen learned of the present situation, they were very excited, and the day of revenge was now, and there was no more fear.

The cavalry units were assigned tasks according to the team, and under the leadership of their respective Dubo, they patrolled and defended one side, and the Xianbei people must not be allowed to escape.

Seeing that the Han people were just besieging but not attacking, he knew that things were broken, the Han people must be waiting for follow-up reinforcements, if the Han army continued to arrive, how could the small village be defended?

All the Xianbei people knew that the situation was critical, and what was worse was that they did not have much food. When they went on the expedition, they felt that they didn't need to attack the city, the task was simple, so they didn't carry a lot of food, and pinned their hopes on plunder, but the Han people had already prepared, the walls were clear, they didn't get a grain of food, and the food they carried was only enough for 1 day, and if there were no reinforcements coming tomorrow, they could only fight hungry; If there is no food, even if the Han do not attack, they can hold out for 3 days at most, otherwise, they will not even have the strength to hold a knife after that, and they will eventually have to be captured.

At more than 9 o'clock, Gao Shun and others returned.

After understanding the situation, the Xianbei people wanted to stick to it and wait for help; Gao Shun is not in a hurry, since the enemy is willing to wait, just wait, without the protection of the cavalry, they dare not break through at all, and when the enemy has no food, they can only surrender obediently.

Zhou Fei said: "General, we have already sent people back to transfer the infantry, don't we attack?" ”

Gao Shun thought for a moment and said: "Attack, but don't attack desperately, just take it as a training exercise, first use rockets to burn the houses in the village; We are camping in the wilderness, how can we let them stay comfortably in the private house? ”

"Yes, General."

After receiving the order, Cao Xing and the others immediately prepared rockets and kept shooting them into the village; The Xianbei people were sniping frantically, making it difficult for the cavalry to get close.

Due to the distance, the rocket had little effect, but a few huts on the edge were ignited, and they were quickly extinguished by the Xianbei people.

In order to boost the morale of the cavalry, Li Qiang, Zhou Fei and Cao Shan took turns to shoot and kill several Xianbei defenders. And Cao Xing and other archery masters continue to shoot, using this place as the best shooting range, Xu Fu is not far behind, and reaps results from time to time.

Seeing that morale was high, Li Qiang suggested to Gao Shun: "General, do you want to shoot rockets with a crossbow?" ”

Gao Shun vetoed: "There are too few strong crossbows, and the rate of fire is too slow, Xianbei people can easily extinguish the fire, and it is purely useless; Anyway, the Xianbei people have become turtles in the urn, and they can't escape, so why rush for a while? It's better to wait for the infantry to arrive before thinking about attacking, and use this as a training ground. ”

Li Qiang felt that Gao Shun's words made sense.

At 10 o'clock, the infantry arrived, and Zhao Xiong sent 1 tun of junior infantry, 2 tun of sword and shield soldiers, and 1 tun of pikemen.

Gao Shun saw that he did not send recruited infantry to come, and the training was meaningless, so he ordered the cavalry to retreat, and the infantry to take over the defense, only guarding the north and east of the village, leaving the south of the village, hoping that the Xianbei people would flee from the south.

Zhou Fei asked: "General, are you not afraid of the Xianbei people breaking through?" ”

Gao Shun smiled: "Haha, I wish they could break through, if they dare to leave the village, without the protection of the cover, they can escape the pursuit of the cavalry?" It was an absolute one-sided slaughter. Now I let the infantry go up, just to attract the Xianbei people to break through. ”

Everyone was overjoyed after listening to Gao Shun's words, but they didn't know if the Xianbei people could take the bait. Zhou Fei asked: "General, if the Xianbei barbarians can't take the bait and don't break through, what should I do?" Shall we keep waiting? ”

Gao Shun explained: "You have to be patient in battle, many times the siege of the city for half a year, or even longer, is to let the city run out of food, and the enemy will be captured obediently; Now the Xianbei people don't have much food to carry, even if they kill the only horses left, how many days can they last? If you can reduce losses and completely annihilate the enemy, why do you need to attack? ”

Everyone thought so, and at the lowest price, in exchange for the greatest victory.

Gao Shun also arranged: "The infantry is based on the tun as a unit, practicing offensive and defensive tactics and cooperating with each other. ”

"Yes, General." After receiving the order, Zhou Fei immediately went to the outskirts of the village to arrange for the infantry to conduct exercises.

At this time, the news of Xianbei's attack has spread in Yanmen County, the magistrate of Mayi County has relocated all the county residents to the county seat to take refuge, outsiders appreciate the county magistrate's noble character at the same time, but also feel that this is a big failure, do not understand the military, it is better to let the county people hide in the mountains, there is so much food in the county to feed so many people? The Xianbei cavalry can't plunder the property, and they will definitely not leave, if they continue to besiege the city, why will the small county hold on?

The Taishou of Yanmen County also received information, and the county asked whether to send reinforcements to support. Juncheng is considering the overall situation, Mayi is the frontier position of Yanmen County, spring, autumn and summer, non-icing period, Xianbei wants to go south, Mayi is the first stop, is the gateway of Yanmen County, there is no room for loss, otherwise the Xianbei cavalry will easily go south along the Xishan Ancient Road, and several counties in the south of the water will directly face Xianbei's attack, and the pressure is huge.

Taishou directly vetoed the suggestion of support, first of all, he was afraid of a field battle with the Xianbei cavalry, if the reinforcements could not arrive in time to the county seat of Mayi, it would be easy to be attacked by the Xianbei cavalry and the whole army would be annihilated; Secondly, the order he received was that the magistrate of Mayi County had arbitrary power, and the state and county should not interfere, not to mention that the magistrate of Mayi County did not come to ask for help, even if he came to ask for help, he would not care, and it was a big deal that he would take the opportunity to recover it after the loss of Mayi County.

He believed that the location of the county seat of Mayi was very distant and isolated from the Xianbei territory, and he was sure that they would not occupy Mayi for a long time, and when the Xianbei people retreated, he would be able to successfully recover it, which would be a great achievement.

And Wang Xuan, the magistrate of Loufu County, was very anxious after getting the news, and first sent people to the Yin Pavilion to find Taishou and send troops to support Mayi County, otherwise if he lost the barrier of Mayi County, Loufu County would directly face the pressure of the Xianbei people.

Taishou rejected Wang Xuan's request for reinforcements on the grounds that Mayi County had not asked for help.

Wang Xuan had no choice, so he immediately sent someone to send a letter to Taoyuan Fort, hoping to send troops to help.

The magistrate of Mayi is a candidate recommended by his uncle, and they received a reward for a hundred war horses, if the magistrate of Mayi was occupied by Xianbei as soon as he took office, then his uncle's face would not look good, and he would lose his trust in His Majesty the Emperor.

After Ma Gui received the letter, he had no intention of sending troops, he thought to himself, with the general here, what problems could not be solved? And if reinforcements are needed, the general has already sent someone to inform them, so it is better to wait and see what happens.
