Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada, and the Yellow Sparrow Follows
This army is different from the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and Wuhuan Cavalry, their cavalry and infantry are mixed, and their weapons and armor are also varied, but they all look fierce.
"It's not an officer! What are these birdmen? Where did the fight come from? "This is the idea of the Wuhuan people.
"These people are not Hu people! And the team is mixed, and the bandit spirit is strong, it seems that they are thieves in the vertical and horizontal mountains, no, those banners...... It's White Tiger Village! This is the idea of Lu Tao and others.
"it, hey, hey! Grab the horse, hey, hey! "This is the idea of the Xianbei people.
Lu Tao has also been in contact with Baihuzhai and has had small-scale conflicts, but Gongsun Yiqing has an ambiguous attitude towards Baihuzhai. Baihu Village is not an ordinary small village, their village owner has 100,000 soldiers, strong strength, if they send troops to fight, it will only force them to the side of the Hu people, when the time comes, Baihu Village and the Hu people collude, Gongsun Yiqing will be more tricky.
Fight and fight, let go and can't let go, Gongsun Yiqing's attitude towards the White Tiger Village can only be a blind eye, although he is upright, but not pedantic, as long as the White Tiger Village does not openly enter the official road to rob the people, he will also let the White Tiger Village in the vertical and horizontal mountains wanton.
At the same time, Gongsun Yiqing also has his own plans, those local Haoqiang and chambers of commerce have a lot of trade with the Hu people outside the Guan, because of the relationship of interests, some of them even transport contraband out of the customs, and in the end, even some family valves are involved.
Profit dictates!
With these thieves looting in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, we can finally curb some smuggling phenomena, and this is more beneficial than disadvantageous to the current situation in Liaodong.
Even bandits and bandits, as long as they reach a certain strength, the imperial court has to weigh the pros and cons and consider how to check and balance and maintain the relationship with each other, this is the reality.
"King! There are tens of thousands of people fighting ahead! The little leader of the White Tiger Village hurriedly pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said to Bai Song.
Bai Song looked around the battlefield and shouted: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu's information is timely, otherwise these war horses would be wrong!" While they are in a scuffle, let the brothers go up and set up their horses! β
"But...... Whether it's the official army or the Hu people, they are not easy to mess with! The little leader hesitated and asked in a cold voice.
Bai Song glanced at him coldly and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu has brought an army of 20,000, so I'm very afraid!" Command, brothers, just lasso, and not to participate in their melee, who dares to stop it, kill! β
"Yes!"
A group of thieves from Baihu Village flocked up, they were used to being unruly on weekdays, even in the face of the officers and soldiers in Liaodong, they would not be afraid, let alone these Hu people who were in the same mess as them.
These thieves saw so many supplies and horses, all of them were red-eyed, the noose of the rope, the horse grabbing the horse, and some simply pulled the Hu people and Liaodong iron horses in the melee off their horses, just to snatch those war horses, of course, the price paid by Baihuzhai at this time is also huge.
Wuhuan cavalry and Xianbei people saw that there were suddenly more thieves and they grabbed horses, and they were immediately furious, and they whipped the thieves of Baihuzhai fiercely, but unfortunately, the number of thieves in Baihuzhai was too much, and some of the dead master's war horses were running wildly in the wilderness, and the thieves of Baihuzhai were all slippery, and when they encountered these war horses, they simply turned over and rode away.
"Entangle the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people! Those grass cowards don't have to worry about it, but anyone who dares to snatch horses will be killed! Lu Tao announced the military order loudly, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry trembled desperately against those Wuhuan cavalry and Xianbei people.
And these two groups of Hu people are even more poor, and they can't tell the enemy from me until now, they only have one thing to think of at the moment, that is, to grab horses and materials!
With the entanglement of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, these Hu people could not snatch the horses as they wanted, but instead cheapened the thieves in Baihu Village for nothing.
These Hu people were numerous, and although the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was elite, they were at a disadvantage in numbers, and with the repeated melees, the physical strength of the soldiers began to be exhausted.
Rather than letting the Hu people take away the supplies and horses, it is better to plunder the grass robbers of the White Tiger Village, although these two situations are not what Lu Tao is willing to see, but the lesser of the two evils, he would rather be cheaper than those Hu people.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers of Liaodong were not entangled with themselves, but entangled with the Hu people with their heads stuffy, Bai Song was not only happy, but also secretly ordered his subordinates to just grab supplies and horses, and not to clash with the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
"King! Those Hu people killed many of our brothers! β
Bai Song's face was gloomy, he originally had the mentality of watching a good show, but at this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a gloomy tone: "The officers and soldiers of Liaodong are at least Han Chinese, and they have some affection for us. At the same time, they were strictly ordered not to clash with the officers and soldiers! β
Baihuzhai wants to take advantage of the melee between the officers and soldiers and the Hu people to snatch the supplies and horses, this plan is a little naΓ―ve, whether it is the Xianbei people or the Wuhuan cavalry, they will not let the Baihuzhai snatch the horses and materials with peace of mind.
At this time, the battle situation was more intense, from a three-way battle to a four-party battle, at the beginning of the White Tiger Village with the advantage of troops and surprise, but also the Hu people were caught off guard, but the quality of their soldiers was too poor.
White Tiger Village is not without elites, but their banditry is too heavy.
The officers and soldiers of Liaodong, the Wuhuan cavalry, and the Xianbei people were all divided into three camps and fought in an orderly manner. The bandits of the White Tiger Village were a mess, and their people were wandering around the entire battlefield, with no rules and formations to speak of.
Watching his subordinates fall one by one, Lu Tao was heartbroken and realized that if he didn't retreat, this precious cavalry would be wiped out outside the fortress. He can be the guard of the Shadow Gorge Pass, in addition to being brave, more importantly, he is alert, he will not let himself fall into death easily, and he is easy to fight with the Hu people.
Although he was unwilling to let those supplies and horses fall into the hands of the Hu people, after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Tao immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.
Liaodong Iron Cavalry suffered heavy casualties, but the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry were no better, Lu Tao gave an order, and the army withdrew to the Yin Gorge Pass, and at the same time he also had a doubt in his heart, Yumen Pass is not far from here, why Pang Yu was reluctant to send troops to help.
It's just that the battle is fierce, and he can't think much about it at this time, and when his brother saw Lu Tao withdrawing his troops, he also shouted orders his subordinates to chase and kill under cheers.
He had heard of Lu Tao's murderous name, this person hated the Hu people of the foreign race, and countless Hu people died in his hands, and he was treacherous and cunning, and he got out under the encirclement and suppression of the Hu tribe.
Collapsed's brother took the lead in chasing after him, but unfortunately, many of his cavalry saw the supplies and horses in a place, and they were all red-eyed, where would they listen to his orders to pursue Lu Tao.
Suddenly the Wuhuan cavalry was in chaos, and the team was divided into several groups, followed by a group pursued by the brother of Mudun, who stayed to grab the materials and the Xianbei people and the White Tiger Village struggled, and the remaining group grabbed some materials, and when they saw it, they collected it and quickly fled back to the tribe.
