And during this time period, Cao Qin had already received the news.

His first reaction was to send soldiers to the rear camp to lead the horses and gather the cavalry.

But according to the soldiers' reports, the enemy came from the rear camp, and obviously came for the rear camp's baggage and war horses.

After careful consideration, he hurriedly gathered his soldiers and held on to the Chinese army, preparing to wait for the enemy to kill the Chinese army, and fight with Sun Yu.

"General, Sun Yu has 20,000 people!!" The young general next to him said worriedly.

Cao Qin was stunned, looked at the young general, and said: "The eight thousand people we still have left, they are all the elite of the elite, and they can't beat Sun Yu?" ”

"But we are cavalry, cavalry without war horses, it is equivalent to a tiger pulling out its teeth, this... We won't line up either, in case we lose... ”

Cao Qin said unhappily: "Then do you want me to withdraw now?" ”

"We have killed more than 10,000 brothers, and we have not eliminated Sun Yu yet, if we let the Minister of State know, how can I explain?"

Thinking of this, Cao Qin said resolutely: "No, we must kill Sun Yu, you give the order to go down, if you don't repel the enemy, no one can retreat, whoever retreats, I will kill whom!" ”

"Yes!"

The young general sighed and passed the order on.

Next, Cao Qin's more than 7,000 people stood here and waited, ready for battle.

Sun Yu led the army, and easily defeated the defenders of the rear camp, controlling the grain, grass, baggage, war horses, etc. of the rear camp, and then, leaving a thousand people to garrison, and the rest of the people were killed to the Chinese army.

Half an hour later, he finally saw his goal.

Sun Yu laughed, without any hesitation, and rushed over with the army...

Cao Qin held up his spear and shouted, "Brothers, kill! ”

More than 7,000 people fought a fierce battle with Sun Yu's 20,000 troops!

The battle lasted only two hours, and Cao Qin's soldiers and horses were killed and scattered, and Cao Qin fled to the west with hundreds of remnants of his defeated army.

He is very smart, he does not take the main road, but the small road, so he can completely avoid the pursuit of the enemy, and Sun Yu has no cavalry, so the pursuit is even more difficult.

It was noon that the battle was over.

Sun Yu asked people to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties.

In this battle, counting from Cao Qin's attack on the six camps, to the complete defeat now, it only took five or six days, and in this time, the number of enemy casualties reached 20,000, and Cao Qin's entire army was annihilated.

This is not an ordinary 20,000 people, but 20,000 cavalry, in addition to soldiers, there are also war horses!

Sun Yu realized that he had made a great contribution this time, and he could be regarded as having an explanation with Luo Yi and Luo Tong.

But he didn't catch up with Cao Qin, it was still not perfect, which made him feel a little uncomfortable and felt a little wronged, he even defeated tens of thousands of people, but he didn't catch the enemy general.

According to statistics, in this battle, the soldiers under his command only suffered more than 9,000 casualties, and there were 20,000 left, and they got a large amount of baggage, grain and grass, and war horses.

"General, are we going to continue to the White Tiger Pass and the Vermilion Bird Pass? Still is.... ”

"What am I going to do at White Tiger Pass? Don't go! ”

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Sun Yu gathered several generals under his command.

Now the army is faced with a choice, is it to continue north? Or stay put? Or go back the way you came?

Some generals said that they should carry out Luo Yi's order, continue to go to the Vermilion Bird Pass, and capture the two passes of the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger.

And some said that they were stationed in place, and some said that they should return to attack Li Heng and help Luo Tong.

Sun Yu thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "No matter what, we can't go any further, it's useless to go forward, there is no enemy army in front, Li Heng is besieged by Luo Tong, and he won't come to pursue us." ”

"What I mean is to go back and kill Li Heng!"

"General, we'll all listen to you." Many of the generals shouted.

Sun Yu nodded, and said solemnly: "Okay, then pass the order, early tomorrow morning, leave two thousand people to guard the baggage, horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses, and turn back the same way with me!" ”

"Yes." Everyone shouted in response.

**********

Li Heng Hengying.

In terms of time, his army has been facing off against Luo Tong's iron cavalry army for more than half a month.

During this half month, neither army made any movement, they were waiting.

Li Heng wanted to wait for Luo Tong to take the initiative to attack his camp, but Luo Tong, knowing that there was an ambush in the camp, did not dare to go, so he had to besiege it; And Li Heng also knew that Luo Tong's iron cavalry was strong in combat, and he didn't dare to lead the army out, once he went out, he would have to fight with Luo Tong in the field, and he was not sure of victory no matter what.

Sometimes, the number of soldiers doesn't tell the whole story, and in history, there are fewer battles to win more?

In the big tent of the Chinese army, many generals asked for battle.

The first one is Du Yang, Du Yang said: "Prime Minister, in our camp, there are 120,000 heavy soldiers, which is six times the number of Luo Tong's army!" With such a large force, what is there to fear? The last general asks for orders and leads the troops into battle, and I will definitely defeat Luo Tong and defeat his 20,000 men! ”

"Are you really that sure?"

"Of course, 120,000 people, but you can't fight 20,000, so what kind of battle is there?"

Li Heng smiled bitterly: "Your tone is not small, but unfortunately, Luo Tong is afraid that it is not as simple as you think, and his 20,000 iron horsemen are not so easy to annihilate; What's more, with Luo Yi behind him, we can't take it lightly. ”

Du Yang sighed. He couldn't figure it out, what was Li Heng worried about, more than 100,000 people still didn't dare to fight?

Well, even if there is Luo Yi, but in his opinion, Luo Yi's 10,000 people are nothing at all, there are too few people, and the strength is too weak, mainly Luo Tong, if you solve Luo Tong, you can win a big victory.

"If our army fights a battle, it may not be lost, Prime Minister, you can give the order." Du Yangren was unwilling.

Actually, Li Heng can't say for sure, at the beginning, he really had this plan, he wanted to fight with Luo Tong with the strength of the crowd, and under the big war, he believed that even if he lost, he would not lose too badly.

But thinking of Rotong's awesomeness and prestige; He was a little afraid, and last year's battle of Xiqiang made Luo Tong even more successful, which made Li Heng a little frightened in his heart.

So, these days, he has been studying Luo Tong and is familiar with Luo Tong's combat methods. At the same time, he laid a net in the camp, and he believed that as long as Luo Tong dared to attack the camp, he would be sure of victory.

"Du Yang, I have my own decision on how to fight, you just need to carry out my orders." Li Heng suddenly darkened his face and said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Li Heng was about to get angry, Du Yang finally dispelled the idea of sending troops.

He replied, "No." ”

"That's... How do you take on Rotong? We can't stand still, can we? ”

Li Heng asked, "How much ration grass is there in my camp?" ”

"Fifty days."

Li Heng said: "I can only promise you, if after forty days, I haven't thought of a way to break the enemy, I will allow you to lead your troops to battle!" And then, if you lose the battle...? ”
