The pursuit of the cavalry was the most strenuous one, of course Meng Ge knew this, so he was not ready to catch up with the other party, after all, the army had just crossed the river, and it was when people were sleepy and horses were lacking, as long as Zhang Liao's side succeeded, the problem on this side was not big, and it was not too early to calculate the time.

After chasing for forty miles in a row, Mongo stopped his steps and prepared to return the same way, but the situation changed, and the horse in front suddenly came to report, and a cavalry was approaching, and the sudden change made Mongo stunned, the enemy army came happily, it wouldn't be so coincidental!

"Probe!" Meng Ge did not hesitate to give a military order, it is not realistic to run away at this time, first look at the situation of the enemy army, and then say, if the enemy army is not large, it is possible to choose a battle.

According to the expected situation, the enemy should not know about the northward crossing yet, and in normal thinking, the enemy should have happened to pass by, in other words, this is the enemy's patrol, and the enemy's troops are insufficient, in this case, it is reasonable to send troops to patrol.

The best type of patrol is the cavalry, because the cavalry has the best power, from time to time like patrolling all over the place, if you find a small force, you can also take the opportunity to catch them all, just like Meng Ge did, Meng Ge used cavalry to patrol the Yellow River, and the enemy is understandable to do this.

However, until the return of the Tanma, everything is unknown, and Meng Ge can't make any conclusions, and Ma Chao also didn't dare to draw conclusions, so the two stopped moving forward and waited for the scout's return.

The horses of the former army did not disappoint Mungo, and soon a fast horse galloped up, and the knight above quickly jumped off his horse and replied loudly: "General Qiyu, the enemy cavalry is ten miles away, about three thousand, and it has stopped advancing at present, please instruct the general!" ”

"Stand by!" Mungo motioned for him to go down, and then frowned, the enemy cavalry has two thousand, if you want to fight, it is not suitable, this place is less than a hundred miles away from Makino, if the enemy's support arrives, there is no chance of winning this battle, even if you eat this cavalry, I am afraid it will be more than worth the loss.

Judging from the movements of the enemy army, it is obvious that they are waiting for reinforcements and at the same time holding back their own pace, and the abacus is a good fight, but it is a pity that Mungo does not plan to fight here.

Ma Chao thought for a while, and immediately said: "General, the situation of the enemy army is unknown, and it is not appropriate to attack!" ”

Meng Ge nodded and agreed: "Well, yes, I understand, but if we want to retreat, I'm afraid it's not so easy, as soon as our army retreats, the enemy will inevitably advance to ensure the threat to our army!" ”

Ma Chao thought about it thoughtfully, judging from the distance of the enemy's army, there is indeed this intention, so that you can't advance or retreat, this is what they think, what Meng Ge said is not wrong at all.

Ma Chao thought about it and said: "In this case, why don't you set up camp here and confront the enemy?" ”

Meng Ge shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Well, it's a solution, but it's not possible at this time, let's rest in place first, wait and see what happens, it's not too early now, let's just retreat at night!" ”

"Withdraw at night!" Ma Chao immediately understood, the night undoubtedly increased the difficulty for the enemy, and after resting for a while, if the enemy pursues again, I am afraid it will not be beneficial, and then they will know what is called chaotic warfare, and night combat is Menggo's favorite.

With the shelter of the night, it is undoubtedly much more convenient to fight, if you have special training, night battles will take a big advantage, if the enemy really comes, then there will undoubtedly be a night battle.

The military order to rest in place was immediately passed down, and the huge army immediately changed its appearance, the soldiers should drink water, and the horses should be fed, and the sergeants in front also began to set up a horse rejection, and a vacuum belt was formed in a short time, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

But Jiang Yiqu on the other side was in a cold sweat, the enemy's calm behavior made him a little uncertain, not only Jiang Yiqu couldn't eat accurately, but Wu Yan beside him also didn't understand, according to the return of the Tanma, the enemy was resting, and such a move was unexpected by Wu Yan.

"Do they have a follow-up force to follow?" Uyan was really unsure, because the enemy was too calm, and there was not the slightest nervousness at all, as if he had a back hand.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yiqu still asked: "My lord, do you want to fight or not to fight now?" ”

"Hit, how?" Wu Yan couldn't help but ask, the enemy's strength is not a few, at this time, if the attack is not good, it will be counterattacked, and the follow-up reinforcements are not yet visible, how dare Wu Yan do it.

As Lord Wuhuan, Wu Yan can't make a decision easily, and helping the Han people to fight depends on the timing, and fighting hard when the situation is not good, which is not in his interests, he lost his own soldiers, but in the end he made a wedding dress for them, Wu Yan is not that kind of good person.

Send troops to fight against the threat from the south, the reason is actually very simple, they don't want to change the current situation, the north and the south are in war, so it is in the interests of the Wuhuan, but now the situation has been subverted, the Wuhuan naturally needs to send troops to balance, and at the same time reap greater benefits, such as fighting for autonomy and so on, and the war will bring the population.

But now it is a frontal battlefield, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe, how dare Wu Yan do it easily, the opposite side is not a good stubble, Wu Yan does not want to lose his troops, so he is unwilling to do it, because it is not in his interests.

Originally, he just wanted to scare the enemy away, but now the enemy did not retreat, but began to set up camp, which was a little difficult to do, Uyan suddenly fell into deep thought, and soon Uyan understood that now he could not retreat, as long as he retreated, the enemy might immediately pursue.

A delicate situation was formed, both sides did not understand each other's hole cards, did not dare to attack easily, and both sides did not want to retreat at the same time, and the situation of a short confrontation was suddenly formed.

After thinking about it, Wu Yan immediately shouted loudly: "Where are the messengers! ”

Just behind Uyan, a man immediately rode out and arched his hand: "What does the general command?" ”

Wu Yan said without thinking: "Immediately send a message to Shan Yu, there is an enemy army here and reinforcements are needed!" ”

"Yes!" The messenger immediately rode away, this trip is quite far, and the matter of asking for help must be as soon as possible, otherwise once the military plane is delayed, it will not be a joke.

At this moment, Wu Yan really has no bottom in his heart, the situation of this confrontation is not advantageous, the enemy has a lot of troops, if there are no reinforcements coming, it will inevitably give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it in the end, although he has confidence in his warriors, but until the last resort, he does not want to confront the enemy head-on.

On the other side, Mungo was resting, munching on bread, and Mungo was looking ahead, just ten miles to the northwest, there was an enemy army lying on the same ground, and you could see it when you climbed to a high place, this place was just relatively high, but it could be seen more clearly.

Xia Houlan and Ma Chao stood beside them, chasing them all the way, but they were hungry, they were gnawing beef jerky, and they were holding a kettle in their hands, and the two of them were chewing happily.

Smelling the fragrance in the air, Mongo's appetite suddenly came, and he couldn't help but turn around and say, "Give me some!" ”

Xia Houlan looked at the fire, there was meat roasting next to it, but it seemed to be almost hot, although it was beef jerky, it was better to roast and eat it, otherwise the taste of hard Bangbang would not be good.

"Wait, general, it'll be fine soon!" Xia Houlan pointed to the fire, and he didn't have a problem if the meat was not roasted.

Meng Ge rolled his eyes suddenly, the piece in his hand was not small, and it would be over if he tore it apart, but Meng Ge didn't want to do this kind of thing, and after waiting for a while, the beef jerky was roasted, in fact, it was a little hot, and the taste was still the same, not much better.

While eating jerky, Meng Ge pointed ahead and said, "Meng Qi, what are those Wuhuan people busy doing?" ”

Ma Chao looked at it intently, and said puzzledly: "Who knows? Wei Chen knows the situation of the Qiang people, and Wu Huan's words are forgotten, Wei Chen really doesn't know! ”

At this time, the enemy army in front also stopped, and it seemed that the state of vigilance had been relaxed, if it attacked at this time, it would be a good fighter, but Meng Ge had no plan, he had just rested for a while, he hadn't rested enough, not to mention that the situation was unclear, it was better not to fight.

Wuyan is actually quite smart, people eat meat, so they want to give the brothers some soup, so he did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the whole army to rest, except for the necessary guards, everyone rested, but the distance between the two armies was only ten miles, and no one dared to be careless at this time.

Even though he got off the war horse, but no one dared to leave the war horse, the two sides had a very tacit understanding, and no one interfered with anyone, just like saying yes, Jiang Yiqu was slightly stunned, the two sides were too harmonious, and even the look of looking at Wu Yan changed.

But he didn't dare to say anything, he had three thousand elite soldiers, this was not a master to be provoked, if he was provoked, he would be killed, and Jiang Yiqu wanted to live for two more days.

The sun gradually set, the two sides were still as quiet as ever, there was no intention of doing anything, Mongo was sitting on the hillside, eating barbecue comfortably, although the taste was not good, but it was always full, it was a tiring day, and it was strange not to be hungry.

Ma Chao looked at the sky, hesitated for a while before getting up and said, "General, let's leave, I'm afraid it will be dark if we don't leave!" ”

After eating the last piece of jerky, Meng Ge said unsatisfactorily: "Although the meat is a little old, it's okay, but I don't know what the meat on the other side tastes like, why don't we go?" ”

"The general's consciousness is to fight a battle?" Ma Chaohu looked at Meng Ge suspiciously, he didn't fight just now, but now he is determined to fight, I'm afraid it's not that simple, whether the enemy is willing or not is still a question.

"Well, go for a walk!" Meng Ge nodded with a smile on his face, the combat strength of the Wuhuan people is still unknown, and it is not impossible to try the opponent's cavalry by the way.

To put it bluntly, it is to conduct a test to test the reality of the enemy's army, and at the same time not to expose his combat strength.

After thinking about it for a while, Ma Chao naturally had nothing to say, and in less than ten minutes, the army instantly changed its appearance, and the situation changed again.

The Wuhuan people who were resting in the distance were very vigilant, and before the army was fully launched, the Wuhuan people also moved, and their movements were also not slow, you and I could see both sides, and the natural movements were almost the same.

"The left wing immediately deploys, hurry up, don't grind!"

"Here, it's all in place for me, don't wander around, return to the formation immediately!"

…… The shouts one after another, the battlefield was noisy again at dusk, and the two sides entered a tense state again, and on Mongo's side, the most common formation had just been lined up, and the army was instantly launched, heading straight for the enemy.

The enemy in the distance also did not show weakness, the army was launched almost at the same time, and the shouting and calling were heard all over the four fields, and in the face of the enemy's movements, the Wuhuan people also did not show weakness, and directly took the enemy's middle army, and there was no room for the slightest hesitation when charging.

Wuyan knows this very well, the frontal collision of the cavalry depends on who has more courage, as the saying goes, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, as a Wuhuan warrior, Wuyan does not have the slightest timidity.

"Oh oh, oh, kill!" Wielding a long knife, Uyan raised his arms and shouted, the blood of the battle had been ignited.

In contrast, Mongo's side is much quieter, and there are not too many voices, because they know one thing very well, the voices are too loud, and they will only confuse themselves, and the battle situation must be observed with their eyes.

As the enemy approached, Ma Chao clenched the longbow in his hand and ordered without hesitation: "Pull the strings!" ”

The cavalry charging at high speed, as the enemy approached at high speed, almost everyone knew what to do, and the longbow on their backs was not an ornament, and the meniscus-shaped longbow immediately exerted great power.

"Shoot!" There was no need for too many words, just one word, the feather arrow in Ma Chao's hand came out of his hand, and the feather arrow shot out of his hand seemed to pierce the air, and hissed.

At the moment when the two armies were about to collide, the feather arrows shot out angrily turned into black dots and landed on the battlefield in an instant.

"Ahh Sporadic screams kept coming, followed by the sound of falling horses, the two sides had not yet collided, but the casualties continued one after another.

"Run!" Wu Yan was surprised, when did the people of the Central Plains learn to shoot, as the most elite warriors, they can't easily do it, but the enemy is easy to use, how can Wu Yan not be shocked.

Seeing that the enemy was rushing and shooting, and the blood surname of the Wuhuan people was completely stimulated, Wuyan shouted loudly: "Sons! Don't lose to them, shoot me! ”

"Shoot back!" Coming and not being rude, putting away the initial shock, the Wuhuan people also used the running technique, this time it was Menggo's turn to be unlucky.

The high-speed crossbow arrows instantly caused damage to Mungo's side, and someone unfortunately fell off his horse, and almost instantly he was drowned in the torrent of cavalry, and in an instant he became a pulp.

"Humph!" Meng Ge snorted coldly, grabbed the oncoming feather arrow with his hand, light and powerless, such an attack was useless to him, Meng Ge smiled coldly in his heart, the rush of the Wuhuan people is just like this, it is really weak and pitiful.

The enemy's bow and arrow power is not strong, Mungo can clearly feel that since this is the case, Mungo has a bottom in his heart, and the enemy army is lagging behind a lot in terms of equipment, which is the advantage, and it is also the point that determines the surname.

"Shoot!" The second wave of attacks was launched again, Ma Chao pulled the bowstring without hesitation, and the salvo of ten thousand arrows reappeared instantly, within a distance of hundreds of steps, this time it was fatal.

"So fast!" Wuyan's eyes fell out, the enemy's attack speed was too fast, didn't the enemy's rush need to be adjusted?

But now he can't think about it too much, the close range is a casualty, a huge casualty, the proximity of the distance makes up for the accuracy, and the Wuhuan people lose a lot......
