Chapter 122: Mobei

A group of horsemen turned on their horses and followed Gongsun Yi towards the mountain bandits. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing the cavalry rushing towards them, the mountain bandits did not escape as expected, but rushed towards the hillside.

Although the cavalry is strong in combat, but in the face of the elevation angle, the combat effectiveness of the war horse that loses its impact power is less than half, these mountain bandits live here all the year round, and even fight with the Hu people, and the disadvantages of the cavalry are clear.

Originally, the siege was not attacked, but it was intended to force more than a dozen people on the mountain who looked bad to be messed with to go down the mountain and surrender.

Now suddenly there were cavalry rushing in, obviously for the people on the mountain, and if they could attack and capture them as hostages, they could resist the hillside and resist these cavalry who came to their aid.

The mountain bandit had a good idea, but when he rushed up, suddenly many stones poured down, mixed with sharp arrows that broke through the air, and these arrows were shot with surprising accuracy, and the mountain bandits were hit by arrows one after another and rolled down the hillside screaming.

The mountain bandits were shocked, and the attack slowed down, and at the same time, Gongsun Yi led a group of Xiao cavalry troops to rush up at the same time, and the Xiao cavalry army on the mountain saw the arrival of reinforcements from a distance, and their morale was greatly boosted for a while, and they rushed down from the mountain with swords in hand.

These mountain bandits originally relied on the large number of people, thinking that as long as they captured the hillside, they could easily defeat the officers and troops up and down, but they did not expect the attack to be slow, but they were attacked by the officers and soldiers in front and back, and they dropped their blades and knelt down to surrender in embarrassment.

Gongsun Yi soon saw the exhausted Cai Yong, many of his family members were killed in the chaos, and the little daughter Cai Yan was taken away by the Hu people, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, even Cai Yong couldn't hold his breath anymore, and his face was helpless and dazed.

Gongsun Yi stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Sir, please return to Qingzhou first, my Gongsun Yi swears to heaven that he will rescue Miss Cai Yan." ”

Cai Yong wanted to speak and stopped, at this moment he could only trust Gongsun Yi, and finally got into the carriage and left as soon as possible, perhaps at this time, it was the best choice to firmly believe that Gongsun Yi could create miracles.

Under the leadership of Gongsun Yi, nearly 100 people quickly advanced towards the border defense line of Bingzhou, and no one knew if they would be able to come back alive.

Galloping all the way, from time to time you can meet the cavalry scouts of the Bingzhou army, Gongsun Yi also heard from some people that Hu Cai, who was being pursued by the Bingzhou army, plundered all the way around the perimeter, and even ambushed the pursuing Bingzhou army once not long ago, and the leader was unfortunately shot and killed.

Many of the Bingzhou troops who pursued Hu Cai had already retreated, and the Han court existed in name only, and most of the officers and soldiers who originally guarded the border of Bingzhou had already left Bingzhou with their own dignity, or directly led the army to join the princes of the surrounding states and counties.

The soldiers guarding the border had no pay and supplies, most of them volunteered to stay here, and at this time the main general died, and the determination to pursue this group of Hu cavalry was obviously greatly shaken, as long as they could hold the border city and not let more Hu cavalry squeeze into the Han Domain.

Gongsun Yi did not stop these people, in his opinion, it is not easy to be willing to stay, and it is not easy to insist on the border, and what reason is there for them to pursue Hu Cai, fortunately, Gongsun Yi also learned the direction of Hu Cai's departure from these state troops.

Pursuing all the way, you can even see dead war horses on the side of the road, discarded broken blades and broken armor, rich blood stains have not yet dried up, and you can also see some Hu people in the wilderness of violent corpses, and the state army is obviously merciless to the Hu people, and every captured Hu person is tortured to death.

Soon rushed all the way to the border, Gongsun Yi learned from the officers on the border that the Hu people had forcibly broken through here a day earlier and rushed out, and when these officers learned that Gongsun Yi planned to go to the Hu people's territory outside, they hurriedly dissuaded them out of kindness.

Mobei is the world of the Hu people, there are a large number of Hu people, although the war breaks out all year round for the population and animal husbandry, but the power of the Hu people can not be underestimated, not only in the surrounding areas of Liangzhou, and the state boundary and the land of Youzhou are distributed, more importantly, the Hu people are all soldiers, like wolves as dangerous and deadly.

Not to mention leading dozens of people, that is, the famous general Wei Qing and others led many Han troops into Mobei, and they also paid an extremely tragic price in exchange for victory.

These officers of the state army volunteered to stay here to guard the border, and seeing that Gongsun Yi dared to pursue the Hu people all the way, they admired and persuaded them.

It's just that at this time, I have already made up my mind, and although I know that the future is in danger, I will never give up.

Gongsun Yi knew very well that going deep into Mobei and entering the territory of the Hu people was to find death, speaking of the case, the Qiang Hu and the Han people around Liangzhou lived together, plus Ma Teng Han Sui, Dong Zhuo and others were not fuel-efficient lamps, and the Hu people were afraid of these princes and did not dare to loot at will.

Liu Yu on the border of Youzhou is honest, has many good ties with foreign tribes, and the policy of appeasement has many miraculous effects, and the foreign tribes are deeply blessed with their grace and will not come to make trouble, and Gongsun Yi led the White Horse Yi to make the Hu people frightened, and the foreign tribes around Youzhou did not dare to go to loot at will.

Only in this land of annexing states, although the combat effectiveness of the iron cavalry of the annexed states is famous, but there are no powerful princes, and the states are falling apart, and the power has not been in the hands of individuals, so it can be said that it has never really developed and grown.

In addition, the land of the state is barren, the commercial trade is backward, the border war is chaotic all the year round, the Hu people raid and attack all the year round, and the soldiers on the border are killed and disabled.

The practice of martial arts among the people of Bingzhou is prevalent, and the officers and soldiers are also veterans who have fought with the Hu people all the year round, if ordinary people can't control it at all, so many people covet Bingzhou, but there are not many who really dare to lead the troops to occupy Bingzhou.

And the Hu people in the north of the desert are the biggest threat to the state, almost every family has relatives who have been killed by the Hu people, so there are so many soldiers who are willing to stay in the city to defend the border, but it is a pity that the city is in disrepair, and the battle line is long, and it has been impossible to stop the Hu people from rushing into the Han region from some collapsed city walls.

Gongsun Yi planned to go deep into Mobei, and these officers of the state army no longer persuaded him, but only selected a group of good horses to exchange for Gongsun Yi's horses, and took out a lot of arrows from the warehouse, and provided fresh water and food, and there were special people to explain some of the situation in Mobei to Gongsun Yi.

Gongsun Yi was penniless at this time, and he could only thank him.

Everyone went deep into Mobei, and soon the climate became very abnormal, the heat was unbearable during the day, but the cold wind was biting at night, and in less than a day, several people had fallen ill, and some people were poisoned by the poisonous scorpion sting hidden in the sand at night, and the two unfortunately died.

These wounded were sent back to the border of the Bingzhou army by Gongsun Yi, and the non-combat attrition made the original low morale even heavier, and Gongsun Yi knew very well that if he could not catch up with the Hu people who fled into Mobei, I am afraid that even the tenacious cavalry army would also lose faith.

The hard work paid off, in the evening of the next day, the scouts of the Xiao cavalry army found the traces of the Hu people, but the sky was still bright, and there were many Hu people, more than the Xiao cavalry army, if they rushed to kill like this, not only could not rescue Cai Yan, but also the danger of defeat.

Going deep into Mobei, Gongsun Yi did not dare to take risks, although he was anxious, he would not joke with the lives of his soldiers.

A group of cavalry troops lurked around the sand dunes, and began to arrange according to Gongsun Yi's orders, and now they could only hope that this group of Hu people was not in a hurry to leave.

Gongsun Yi looked at the sun in the west, and kept urging in his heart to hope that time would pass faster.

As night fell, a bonfire rose in the tent of the Hu people in the distance, and the Hu people danced and sang around the fire, drank and talked, and dragged the captured Han women out of the tent.

It's just that Gongsun Yi frowned slightly, the Hu people's guard has not been relaxed, maybe it is because they have survived in an environment like Mobei all year round, and they always have a sense of self-protection.

It is really not appropriate to fight hard, in this land of sand dunes, the horse assault cannot be accelerated as soon as possible, and it is very likely to become the target of the Hu people's arrows, and it is only at this time that Gongsun Yi realized that the place chosen by the Hu people to be stationed is very ingenious.

Fortunately, Gongsun Yi has already been armed, but it is really difficult to say whether he will win or lose.

Seeing that the moonlight was obscured by black clouds, Gongsun Yi waved his hand, and a group of horsemen who had been waiting for a long time quickly approached the Hu people's camp.

Guan Hai came to Gongsun Yi's side, holding a sharp blade to protect the left and right, and the battle was about to break out.
