Shaded in the layers of twilight, the northern wasteland is filled with the chill of the spring evening, and the artemisia grass overgrown with post roads is trampled aside, which is the mark left by refugees who have fled their homes.

Today, an army of more than 3,000 people is like a long snake moving forward, and the Chinese army's banner is even more eye-catching with a large embroidered "Han" character, and under the foil of the generals and officers with horizontal eyebrows, the fair and handsome face of a young general is particularly eye-catching.

"Pass the order, run forward, and be sure to get to Mayi City fifty miles away before tomorrow." A red tide of excitement swept over the young man's handsome face.

Soon we will arrive at Mayi City, where there is a man named Lu Bu.

Thinking of the Lu Bu message he got from others, the young general's heart suddenly felt dissatisfied, and there was a desire to compete with one of them.

"Any news ahead?" The young general tried to calm down and asked to the side.

Although there were more than 3,000 troops this time, it was not the army of the princes, but the defeated army that escaped from Yanmen mixed with the young and strong among the refugees and a few hundred village warriors in the hands of the young generals. The reason why these people obey the orders of this young general is just because this young general provides food is considered to be a life-saving grace for the people who have fled.

"Not yet." The soldier on the side replied.

Under the city of Mayi, the tragic offensive and defensive battles between the two sides continued.

Relying on the favorable terrain, Lü Bu's troops gathered all their forces at the city wall, and stubbornly blocked the advance of the coalition forces, while the coalition forces relied on their numerical superiority to launch uninterrupted attacks in turn, trying to exchange time for the enemy's exhaustion, so as to find an opportunity to break through.

The night is both advantageous and unfavorable for Lu Bu.

Using the cover of the night, Lü Bu was able to hold important passes and keep enemies far outnumbered by himself under the city. But at the same time, in the face of an enemy with obvious numerical superiority, the inferior Lu Bu army will also be extremely tired after a hard night's defense.

"And the state man should be a thief!" Lu Bu roared angrily and swung his halberd and slashed, and an enemy pawn was suddenly in a different place.

The casualties on both sides intensified little by little, and by the time the day was about to dawn, the offensive and defensive battles had gone through dozens of times, and the 30,000 people in Mayi City were left with less than 10,000 who could still kill the enemy after these days of fighting, and the casualties of the coalition army were even greater, especially the Xianbei people, at least 70,000 of the 200,000 Xianbei people fell forever on this flat land far from their homeland.

The fourth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of the second year of Guangxi.

On the rugged mountain road near the Great Wall, thousands of soldiers walked slowly in a line, the occasional leaking blade of their weapons glistening golden in the sunlight.

"Captain Cao, didn't you say to support the lord, why did you go to the mountains again?" A military Sima asked Cao Xing.

"Humph!" Cao Xing snorted coldly and did not speak.

The military Sima laughed and didn't ask any more.

"Captain—!" A scout colonel shouted loudly as he quickly shuttled through the winding mountain road.

"What's the matter?" The personal soldier who was guarding Cao Xing's side asked.

"Captain, countless war horses have been found under the mountain ahead, I am afraid that there are twenty or thirty thousand--it may be that there is an enemy nearby!" The scout colonel's expression was extremely frightened, for these people who grew up in the state, tens of thousands of cavalry was an absolute nightmare.

Cao Xing was surprised and delighted, surprised that the appearance of cavalry would be a vicious battle, and happy that if these war horses were kept in captivity here by the Xianbei people who attacked Mayi City......

"How many are there?" Cao Xuan hurriedly asked.

"Twenty or thirty thousand war horses...... Person...... Maybe one or two thousand? There was a hint of confusion between the scout's eyebrows.

"Ready for battle!" Cao Xuan shouted loudly.

"Captain—isn't that a bit reckless?" Jun Sima reminded softly.

Cao Xing stepped onto a rock, stared at the gradually widening field of vision not far in front of him, and laughed: "Great opportunity, when we gather these war horses, you can all fucking ride three horses in one fucking way!" ”

"Sons, it's time to kill the enemy!" Cao Xuan took a pair of gavels from the hands of his guards and shouted loudly.

"Knock, knock knock......" a fierce drum suddenly sounded, the drum sound is like a storm, urging people to get up, under the huge "Han" flag, Cao Xing stood in front of a cowhide drum, double mallet fell, the drum beat with the gesture up and down, one after another, as if there were thousands of troops and horses in the tearing and killing, so that people could not help but feel refreshed when they listened.

In the midst of this exciting drum, the athletes who were ready to wait were scattered down from the mountain like a large net.

The Xianbei people also tried their best to take the city of Mayi, and most of the soldiers dismounted and acted as foot soldiers to attack the city. The several divisions of Xianbei gathered their horses together and sent people to guard them, so as not to break through and frighten the horses that were unsupported and disrupt the army.

I don't know which tribe's horses were found here by Cao Xing, and more than 20,000 horses happened to be enclosed in a valley that was not open.

"It's the enemy—!" The Xianbei scout in charge of the patrol screamed in surprise and was about to report the news, but as soon as he reacted, he was caught up by the rushing Bingzhou soldiers. There was a panic in the valley, and the more than 1,000 Xianbei warriors guarding in the chaos did not know how many enemies there were, and in the midst of the riotous war horses, they only cared about running for their lives.

As for how to display their skills in foot combat, Yang has overcome the enemy's shortcomings, and the state army is much stronger than the Xianbei people.

The Xianbei army is now in a predicament, under the fierce attack of the Bingzhou army, the Xianbei soldiers who have just been deployed are surrounded into dozens of small circles, the main general of the Xianbei people and more than 20 close guards are separated together, and most of the rest of the soldiers have to run around like a swarm of headless flies because they have lost their command.

"Quick, plug the gap!" Cao Xuan shouted loudly.

In the midst of shouting and killing, Cao Xing stood majestically at the mouth of the valley, holding a strong bow in his hand, just looking for the generals in the Xianbei army who were trying to command and shoot them, but where he heard the sound of the bowstring, the enemy generals fell down silently.

The ensuing white-knuckle battle was a nightmare for the Xianbei soldiers, and the state athletes jumped and moved on the rugged ground as if they were on the flat ground, and they all wore armor and held knives, did not avoid arrows and stones, and were not afraid of death, and they were defeated as soon as they came into contact with the Xianbei army.

"Hurry, break through!" The voices of the remnants of the Xianbei army were a little exhausted, they never expected that the attack of the Han people would be so sudden and so sharp that they would not have time to react. How did the Han people come about? Shouldn't they all go to the rescue of Ma Yi now?

Now, the Xianbei army is leaderless, if it continues for a while, when the army's morale is weakened, these people will inevitably be wiped out.

Cao Xing's face showed a relieved look, this was the first time he had led an independent army to fight, he must not be defeated, and he must not be defeated.

At this time, Cao Xing was standing on the valley with high spirits, commanding his athletes to chase and kill the remnants of Xianbei who fled, this battle, Cao Xing was at the forefront of the battle from beginning to end, every time he encountered the desperate resistance of the enemy general, his arrows were like the spell of the king of Hades, shooting at the enemy quickly and quickly, making the enemy just muster a little fighting spirit disappeared in an instant.

In just over an hour of contact battle, almost all of the more than 1,000 guards of the Xianbei army were killed, and some of the horses in the valley also broke free from their restraints and rushed out of the valley.

At the time of the vicious battle between Cao and Xianbei people, the offensive and defensive battles under the city of Mayi presented an even more tragic situation.
