Xuanyi's tactics are very simple, that is, to divide his subordinates into three parts, the first part is responsible for containing the Xi army in the open, the second part is responsible for sneak attacks, and the third part is responsible for responding, and the tasks are rotated after one battle.

Less than half an hour after the Whirlwind Eighteen Horsemen dispersed and disappeared in three parts, Yeluhan rushed to the location where the Whirlwind Eighteen Horsemen and the two hundred Spirit Horsemen had just camped with a thousand horses.

Although the fire was extinguished, there were still some sparks left at the scene, and the meat and bones gnawed by the soldiers of the Tang Army were discarded everywhere on the ground, and horse manure and horse footprints could be seen in many places.

Yeluhan and his centurions jumped off their horses, and a scout who had been waiting here for a long time stepped forward and reported: "Master Qianfu, this is the place where the Tang Army's scout cavalry camped, and when I arrived, they had already gone away, but they couldn't run, and our remaining brothers had already chased after them along their horseshoe prints!" ”

Jeruhan asked, "How many are there?" ”

"Judging by the number of horseshoe prints they left along the way, about three hundred horses!"

Yeluhan frowned and said, "According to the news obtained from the previous reconnaissance reports, isn't there only more than two hundred?" Why are there more and more? ”

A centurion next to him interjected: "Lord Yelu, the Tang Army's reconnaissance cavalry may have more than one horse per person, they can be two horses or more!" ”

Yeluhan thought for a while, and he had to admit that this centurion's statement was reasonable, but it was also possible that the Tang army had increased the strength of the reconnaissance cavalry.

At this time, a centurion who had investigated the situation here came over to report: "My lord, judging from the traces at the scene, the Tang army has already detected and learned of the arrival of our army, so they evacuated, but they evacuated in a hurry, and cleaned up some traces before withdrawing, trying to erase some things that they didn't want us to find, according to the traces of horseshoe prints and the freshness of horse manure, the number of people is about three hundred, and the time for them to leave should be very short, we can catch up!" ”

"So what are you waiting for? All mounted their horses and pursued in the direction of the withdrawal of the Tang army, and the detective cavalry detective post was in front to investigate the situation! Yeluhan didn't think about it, and turned around and got on his horse.

The other centurions and guards immediately turned over and got on their horses and led the team to chase in the direction of the retreat of the Tang army.

Xuan Yi and the others must have made a certain trace of clarity on the scene, there are about six hundred horses in the Eighteen Cavalry and Two Hundred Elite Cavalry, and almost every cavalry has three horses, this configuration is rarely used even by nomadic tribes, because the cost is too expensive.

In fact, the third team led by Xuansan who retreated in front was tasked with containing and attracting Yeluhan's thousand horsemen in the open and taking them around in circles, while Xuanyi led the team to hide after following Xuansan's men and horses for a distance, and hid on the road that Yeluhan pursued, while the second team led by Xuanji was nearby and was ready to meet the first team that had successfully attacked.

As the moon hid into the clouds, the night became darker, Xuan Yi looked up at the sky, and then looked at a black shadow not far from the left front, which should be a field of wild artemisia thickets more than one person high, he immediately stopped and said: "Order, tell Xuan San, we will ambush the Xi army here, let him lead the team to continue forward, our army is hiding in the wild artemisia bushes in the left front!" ”

"No!"

After receiving the order from Xuanyi's faction, Xuansan led the team to continue forward, and Xuanyi led the first team to hide in the wild artemisia bushes that were more than one person high, and the war horses stood in the wild artemisia bushes just blocked by the wild artemisia, and the knight had to lie on his stomach to hide his body when he sat on horseback, so Xuanyi ordered everyone to lie on the back of the horse and not get up, otherwise military law would be engaged.

In fact, there is no need for Xuanyi to use military law as a threat, these elite cavalry soldiers are strictly disciplined and have strong execution.

There are many mosquitoes in the wild, especially in the wild artemisia bushes in this weather, there are dense mosquitoes everywhere, and the bites of mosquitoes are too uncomfortable, many people have been bitten out of large bags and small bags on their faces in a short period of time, and the back of their exposed hands has been bitten into red and swollen spots.

Although this kind of waiting and hiding is uncomfortable, but it is not fatal, soon, Xi Jun detective detective detective sentry more than a dozen horseback arrived here, this wild artemisia bush attracted their attention, but in order to find the traces of the Tang army brigade as soon as possible, they just shot a few waves of arrows into the wild artemisia bush in a row, and after finding nothing, they hit the horse and continued to chase forward.

Xi Jun's scouts killed two Tang army elite horsemen in these waves, three of them were slightly injured, and all the other arrows were blocked by armor. This is also a very cruel test, if it is an ordinary army, I am afraid that these few rounds of arrows can expose the people hiding in it, but these Tang army elite horsemen who were killed and injured by arrows did not say a word.

Fortunately, the first team of Xuan's team did not wait for a long time, and after waiting for less than half an hour, they heard a large number of horses' hooves from the direction they had come from, and then a long black shadow appeared not long after.

"Here, tell the brethren to find ready!" Xuan Yi said in a deep voice, slowly removing the spear from the victory hook and clamping it under his armpit.

After the order was delivered, Xuan Jiu, Xuan X, Eleventh, Twelfth, and Thirteen all took off Guan Gong's sword or horse lance or spear, and all seventy elite horsemen took out their spears and clamped them under their armpits, but they still lay motionless on their horses.

Due to the fact that there was a detective cavalry detective post in front of him who had already conducted reconnaissance, the Xi army, under the leadership of Yeluhan, passed through this wild artemisia bush unsuspectingly, and the team was long, and the team of 1,000 horsemen was stretched more than a mile long.

Seeing that the six hundred horsemen in front of him had passed, Xuan Yi clenched his spear tightly, lay on his horseback and quietly watched the Xi cavalry continue to pass, until the seven hundred horsemen in front of him had passed, he immediately raised his head and shouted: "Brothers, kill with me-"

"Kill-" The cavalry of the Tang Army, under the leadership of Xuan Yi, rushed out from the wild artemisia bushes, which were next to the Xi army's passing, only less than a hundred meters away.

The soldiers of the Tang Army rode their horses to kill them, and at the same time held their long weapons forward, and it took only a few seconds to kill them in such a short distance, and the more than 300 cavalry at the tail of the Xi Army, who were galloping forward, were killed by the Tang Army without any preparation.

Under the sudden attack, the cavalry of the Xi army was in chaos on the spot, and the team, which was already so sparse that there was no formation, became even more chaotic, in the blink of an eye, where did the centurions have time to organize the cavalry to meet the battle?

"Boom", the sound of impact spread, the tail of the Xi army of three hundred cavalry was shocked to pieces, heavy casualties, although Xuan Yi's subordinates only six brothers and seventy elite knights, when these people are all brave people, three hundred Xi cavalry under a shock killed and wounded more than 26 people, the remaining more than 30 people were lucky and spared, but everyone was somewhat injured.

After breaking the tail of the Xi army's three hundred cavalry, Xuan Yi did not hesitate, and immediately led the team to flee forward, and did not turn, turning would take time, and then the speed of the impact could make his own escape much faster.

When Yeluhan heard the sound of shouting from the rear, he was shocked, and immediately stopped his horse and asked loudly, "What happened in the rear?" ”

Soon someone rode a horse and came to report: "Elder Qianfu, three hundred people in the tail were raided by the Tang army and suffered heavy losses!"

"How many people are on the other side?"

"There are less than a hundred, but they have a lot of horses!"

"Cunning Southern Barbarian!" Yeluhan was furious, turned his head to look at the direction of the pursuit, and then turned his head to look at the rear, not knowing whether to continue to pursue the Tang army in front or turn around to kill the Tang army that attacked his tail.

Panting, Yeluhan gritted his teeth and brandished his big knife and shouted: "Sons, follow me to kill the southern barbarians who raided us!" ”

The Khitan army immediately turned around under the leadership of Yeluhan, but the organization and discipline of the barbarian army were much worse than those of the Tang army, and it wasted some time by turning around.

At this time, you can still hear the sound of horses' hooves when the Tang army is far away, and the Tang army has not run far, Yeluhan shouted: "Sons, follow me!" ”

"Kill-" The Khitan army chased and killed all the way, shouting one after another to create a momentum of chasing and killing.

More than 20 miles ahead of Xuansan Lerma stopped, according to the calculation of time, the Khitan army chasing behind had been attacked by the first team led by Xuanyi at this time, he immediately hit the horse and turned around and led the team to catch back, if he found that the Khitan was still pursuing, he turned around and ran, if the Khitan army went to pursue Xuanyi's first team, he led the team to meet the first team.

Xuanyi ran for about ten or twenty miles with the first team, happened to pass by the ambush of the second team, blew a loud whistle to greet the second team ambushed nearby, and then walked away.

Where did Yeluhan think that the Tang army would ambush again, he didn't expect this at all, they followed closely behind the first team, and they didn't find that the first team sent people to ambush, but they didn't know that the Tang army had already made a tactical plan for the second ambush.

"Kill-kill-" The second Tang army ambushed on the hill rushed down the terrain, and the three hundred Khitan troops hanging behind had no time to react before they were rushed out of the night.

"Master Qianfu, the rear of our army has been ambushed and raided by the Tang army again!" A Khitan actually galloped to report to Yeluhan.

"Such a loud shout of killing, I heard it!" Yeluhan was furious, "Damn the Southern Barbarian, you only know about sneak attacks, and you don't have the courage to fight us head-on!" ”

When Jeruhan was in a rage, a centurion reminded, "Elder Thousand, we have less than five hundred men left!" ”

Yeluhan almost vomited blood in anger when he heard this, "Bastard, bastard! How many of them are there? He grabbed a surviving Khitan soldier and shouted.

"Less than a hundred!"

Less than a hundred people raided in the dark of night and killed his three hundred elite cavalry, what's the matter, why is this Tang army so powerful? Where the hell are they?

"Give me chase!" Yeluhan was ruthless and decided to grit his teeth and pursue the second team of the Tang Army that had attacked him just now. (To be continued.) )
