There was no defender of Li Dao Guo Yan in the south of Guanzhong, and what they were worried about was Yuan Shao, who was the strongest among the heroes in the Kwantung region, so Wuguan was not garrisoned, and Yan Yan easily occupied Wuguan and guarded it narrowly.

At the junction of Hedong and Hongnong, Li Dao and Guo Yan pursued the Son of Heaven and his party, but were attacked by the surprise of the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King and the White Wave Thief, and returned defeated.

At first, Zhang Ji, who welcomed the Son of Heaven to Sizhou, saw that the situation was not good, and he could not control the Son of Heaven, so he immediately fled after looking for an opportunity.

Li Dao and Guo Yan, who had just passed Tongguan with more than 40,000 remnants of the defeated army, complained to each other all the way, accusing each other of their previous mistakes, and putting the responsibility for the current precarious situation on the other party's head, but the two did not agree, but they did not dare to really part ways, otherwise they would be even weaker, and what they are now losing is political power, and there are more than 40,000 remnants of military strength.

Neither of them was a far-sighted person, and the army was exhausted, so they planned to return to Chang'an first, and then find out where there were still supplies for them to plunder, and then send troops to plunder the military supplies.

On the way back to Chang'an, they could have entered the county seat to rest, but they burned and looted all the way, and gained very little, so they had to speed up their return, first, because they were worried about the pursuit of the Southern Xiongnu behind them, and second, they had to return to Chang'an first, replenish some of the materials they had hoarded in the camp, and then make plans.

In the wilderness south of Weishui, west of Zheng County, Li Daoguo set up camp before dark, intending to rest here for the night.

Half of their army is Liangzhou Han people, half is Qianghu people, brave and ruthless, but also loose military discipline, go out to fight or plunder during the day, and fall asleep at night.

As night fell, the sky was dark, and the more than 40,000 soldiers of Li Dao and Guo Yan formed a military camp in a chaotic manner, and there was not even a fence outside the camp to resist horses and guns, and there was no solid barrier on the periphery of the camp as the most basic protection.

The soldiers on patrol sat on the grass with their weapons in their hands, back to back, some of them were sleepy and dozing, and some of them were already snoring like thunder.

They were defeated soldiers, with low morale and no fighting spirit to speak of, and they were sleepy and tired, and they only felt that they were suffering untold suffering.

The night breeze blows, and the grass and trees sway, rolling up a whirring sound.

Guanju Mountain, the birthplace of Luoshui, is just south of Li Dao Guo Yan's camp, at the foot of the mountain, 10,000 horses are tied together in a neat and orderly manner, not far from the horses, there are five large camps in an orderly and implied formation.

Each battalion had only a few fires on the periphery, and their vision was dim, but they were enough to scout their surroundings.

In the middle camp, Gan Ning walked out while giving military orders.

As early as a day ago, he had mastered the movements of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and released ten waves of scouts, and information came back every half an hour.

Li Wei Guo Yan's return to Chang'an must be the shortest distance in a straight line, whether they rest in the county at night or pass by during the day, Gan Ning will be able to attack them unprepared.

It's just that Gan Ning didn't expect Li Dao and Guo Yan to dare to camp in the wild.

It's a godsend!

Yinling flew 10,000 horses and was divided into five battalions, with Gan Ning leading one battalion by himself, and the other four battalions were commanded by captains under Gan Ning's command and dispatch.

In the silence of the night, the five large battalions with a glow of fire quietly extinguished the bonfires, packed their bags, and each soldier moved quickly to carry out the military order.

Horses were brought in, and the scattered troops gathered into a neat army in the blink of an eye.

Dressed in light armor, with white feathers on their shoulders and helmets, the soldiers of the Silver Feather Flying Horse were all in good spirits, and they did not feel sleepy and lazy at all.

This is the result of the rigor of the army, the execution of orders and prohibitions, and the ability to overcome all kinds of difficulties.

At midnight, Gan Ning led Yinling to ride north to rob the camp!

When there was still more than an hour before dawn, Gan Ning led the army less than ten miles away from Li Dao Guo Yan's camp, and they had not galloped their horses before, fearing that the sound of horses' hooves would disturb the enemy.

With a resolute expression and sharp eyes, Gan Ning took the torch lit by his subordinates, raised the torch and threw it forward, the torch fell through the air, and the light swept over a trajectory like a half moon.

That's the command!

Yinling Flying Cavalry charged the whole army, and the troops attacked the enemy camp at night in five ways!

The tired army of Li Dao and Guo Yan was asleep, and the sound of horses' hooves came from all directions, and some people screamed to bomb the camp, while others slept soundly.

Li Wei hurriedly put on his armor while walking towards the outside of the camp tent, saw the chaotic scene in the camp, pulled out his saber and roared: "Calm down for me, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

Before the Silver Feather Flying Horse could be killed, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance alone scared them out.

The soldiers with a weak psychological defense line will be startled, causing a chain reaction, resulting in the bombing of the camp, and before the enemy arrives, they themselves will become a mess of porridge first, and if it is serious, they will even kill each other, mistakenly thinking that the people next to them are enemies.

Guo Yan ran out of the camp barefoot, saw this scene, quickly took his weapon and put on his armor, led the horse and summoned his men to flee for their lives, Li Wei roared for a long time with little effect.

The patrols on the periphery of the puff camp kept falling, the war horses roared and stepped into the camp, and Yinling flew in five ways of riding men and horses!

The Silver Feather Flying Cavalry with spears in hand has no ability to control the strings, but they have strict military discipline and rigorous execution tactics, so they can be called strong soldiers!

The five-way people copied Li Dao Guo Yan's camp from the south and east, the horse speed did not decrease, all the way to kill, from the southeast two sides of the Yinling flying horse is like a gust of wind, where it passes, the sky is full of blood dance!

Gan Ning took the lead, led the army to rush into the south, went west after going around in a circle, non-stop, although Gan Ning killed countless enemies, but his heart was very lost, because of the chaos in the camp, many of the enemy troops fled to the north, leaving behind people who had no power to fight back.

The figure of Li Dao Guo Yan was never found, and the military order that Gan Ning got was to retreat with one blow, so Yinling Flying Cavalry swept away from both sides of the southeast, without stopping, no matter how many enemies were killed, no matter how many remnants there were, and withdrew directly in the direction of Chang'an.

It is difficult to count how many enemies the Silver Feather Flying Horse, which galloped at full speed, and they swept through like a storm, even if the enemy wanted to chase, I am afraid they would not be able to catch up.

After dawn, Gan Ning led the army to withdraw towards Chang'an, and the captain beside him was a little unsatisfied and confused on the way.

"General, Li Dao Guo Yan's camp is chaotic and has no power to fight back, and it seems that they can be wiped out, why don't we take advantage of the victory to pursue them?"

Gan Ning was a little disappointed that he failed to capture or kill Li Dao Guo Yan, but he raised his face and looked at the bright sky, and said lightly: "The formation of the Silver Feather Flying Horse is the lord who spent a lot of effort, and the lord regards it as a strange soldier, if the damage is serious, I will have the lord's high hopes." Last night's robbery camp won a complete victory because of full preparation, surprise attack its unpreparedness, although the enemy army has a lot of rout, but Li Dao Guo Yan is nowhere to be found, it is difficult to ensure that there are still many die-hard soldiers around the two of them, before setting off my order is to retreat west after the camp is robbed, if the military order is changed halfway, we ourselves will be in chaos first, even if we converge and then organize the army to chase and kill, Li Dao Guo Yan is afraid that he has already prepared, even if we win, we will have to pay the price. ”

The lieutenant beside him suddenly realized and didn't ask any more.

The victorious Yinling Fei rode under the leadership of Gan Ning and retreated towards Chang'an, while sending scouts to inquire about Li Dao Guo Yan's movements.

After a short rest, the two found that there were less than 20,000 soldiers left around them, and they wanted to cry without tears.

"How's that for good? How is it good? "Guo Yan has no master, pacing back and forth by the river, and the soldiers under him are all listless, depressed and deflated.

After washing his face by the river and drinking a few mouthfuls of river water, Li Wei wiped off the water stains on his face, and said with a trace of ruthlessness on his rough face: "Do you say that the person who robbed the camp will be Ma Teng Hansui?" ”

Guo Yan was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and hesitated: "It's indeed possible, but since they came to rob the camp, why didn't they chase and kill us?" Will there be any change in Chang'an? ”

If Chang'an falls, not only will they have no way to retreat, but even their families will fall into the hands of the enemy!

Li Wei walked up to Guo Yan, forced his eyes on him, gritted his teeth and said: "In the east, there is that bastard who goes to Bei, in the north, there is Weishui to block us, and in the south, it is the direction in which the enemy army came to attack us last night, escape from the south, the Qinling moat is blocked, if the Wuguan has been lost, we will also be a dead end to the south." Now we can only go back to Chang'an, we don't even have food and grass! Killing back to Chang'an is the only way out! ”

Half of their situation was caused by the enemy, and half of it was caused by themselves.

Guo Jia wants to force them to come to Chang'an to die, and thank them for being full of evil in Guanzhong, Li Dao Guo Yan, who has run out of military food, wants to rob the people to replenish the military supplies, but there is no way to start, the surrounding areas have been pressed by them for several years, the people have left their hometowns, barren and withered, even if they want to rob, they must have an object.

Unintentionally created a situation in which the walls are cleared and the wilderness is completely caused by Li Dao and Guo Yan, the so-called sins made by heaven are still forgivable, and self-inflicted sins cannot be lived.

Guo Yan, who has been powerful for several years, has become more and more greedy for life and afraid of death, which is understandable, but at this time, a decision must be made, where should he and Li Dao go?

Thinking about it, there is only one way to go back to Chang'an, they have no food and grass, and it is better to fight to the death than to sit still.

Reorganizing the army, Li Dao Guo Yan first led the army back to the camp to see if there were any remaining military supplies, but unexpectedly, the camp was in a mess, and the soldiers who survived and escaped after being abandoned by Li Dao Guo Bian swept away the supplies in the camp and scattered into birds to make their own livelihoods.

With monstrous anger, Li Dao Guo Yan encouraged the soldiers to kill back to Chang'an with them and find Ma Teng Han Sui to take revenge!

When Gan Ning triumphantly entered Chang'an, Guo Jiamateng and Han Sui also arrived in Chang'an at the same time.

Han Sui and Ma Teng didn't expect Guo Jia to take Chang'an without being able to hide his ears.

Unexpectedly, Gan Ning led the army and also inflicted heavy losses on Li Dao Guo Yan's army, according to the scout cavalry's report, Li Dao Guo Yan only had less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and was heading for Chang'an.
