The Jiuyuan Army and the Donghu people were all stunned to look at the cavalry of the Suzaku Army, which had changed from galloping to stationary in an instant, and stayed dozens of steps away. As the Vermilion Bird Army rode their horses one after another, a strong wind with a strong murderous aura that followed the Suzaku Army wrapped countless dusts and roared into the Jiuyuan Army formation.

The wind swept in dust, and the foot soldiers couldn't help but close their eyes or raise their hands to block their vision, so as not to be washed into their eyes. The 50,000 cavalry of the Longxi Army standing on the flank of the infantry were a burst of neighing of war horses.

War horses are far more sensitive to murder than humans. The Suzaku Army, which originally thought that there was a big battle soon, had already held back the murderous aura all the way, and when they rushed over, it was released without scruples, but they didn't expect that it was their own people who were waiting for them.

The war horses neighed, and the battle flags rattled and almost broke them.

It took a few moments for the strong winds to stop.

The bright black armor of the Vermilion Bird Army, the fiery red banner, the sabre that shimmered in the sunlight, and the solemn military posture that moved like a rabbit and were as quiet as a virgin all showed that this was a cavalry far more elite than the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army who had fought with himself and others.

The fiery red cloth covered the back of the war horse, and the outline highlighted on it was a little strange, could it be that there was still a hump on the back of the Qin people's war horse? When did such a war horse with a hump appear?

The Qin cavalry seemed to be stepping on something, and they couldn't see it very clearly because of the cloth covering them. It seems that the things that the Qin cavalry stepped on were also something used to fix the cavalry's body.

The more I looked at Mohuer, the more shocked I became.

As a nomadic people, the Donghu people were well aware of the advantages of cavalry in the face of foot soldiers, and at the same time they were also well aware of the disadvantages of cavalry.

Whether it is the Qin people's humped war horses or the things that the Qin cavalry treads on their feet, their role has only one purpose in Mohuer's view, that is, to fix the bodies of the Qin cavalry, so that they no longer have to worry about being thrown off the horse by the galloping war horse; The things on the horse's belly also seem to be designed to fix the body of the Qin cavalry, and this Donghu is worth more than a war horse with a hump in Mohuer's opinion.

The cavalry's feet hang on both sides of the horse, and they can't reach the world or the ground, and they can't use their strength at all, which is the most disadvantage of the cavalry, which can be said to fundamentally limit the combat power of the cavalry.

The Qin people had apparently found a way to fix the cavalry's body and how to allow the cavalry to exert its maximum combat power on horseback. The long and narrow sharp knife with a slight arc seemed to be equipped for this group of bright red Qin cavalry.

The war horses of the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army were the same as the war horses of the Donghu people, bare horses, and Mo Huer quickly figured out that it was obvious that some of the things equipped by the Qin cavalry brought by the great general Meng Tian were only a small amount of equipment in the Qin army.

It's just that Mo Huer didn't understand why this Qin cavalry, who didn't even seem to have seen the Jiuyuan Army, could get such good weapons, and the Jiuyuan Army, as a descendant of Meng Tian, obviously seemed to have never seen these things. This can be seen from the fiery eyes of the cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army when they saw the well-equipped cavalry of those cavalry.

What made Mohuer even more incomprehensible was why this cavalry, which was obviously only tens of thousands of people, would give people the feeling of hundreds of thousands of cavalry riding at the same time when galloping.

As the current patriarch of the Donghu clan, Mo Huer can see these problems clearly, but ordinary Donghu people do not have his wisdom. The vast majority of the Donghu cavalry saw only a fierce Qin cavalry.

Although they have not yet fought hand-to-hand, in the face of the cavalry of the Suzaku Army, whose morale is like a rainbow and a wolf, more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry have already weakened a few points psychologically.

Meng Tian saw these in his eyes, so it was not so much that Meng Tian was not worried about the Donghu cavalry, but because the Vermilion Bird Army that followed him north was happy about the deterrence of the Donghu people and even the Jiuyuan Army.

The general returned to Jiuyuan, and the excitement of the generals of the Jiuyuan Army did not need to be detailed, even Meng Tian was embarrassed. However, Meng Tian did not catch up with the generals of the Jiuyuan Army, and it was not time yet.

After a brief meeting to understand the situation, a series of orders were quickly issued from Meng Tian's mouth.

The first is to order Long Wei to use the only remaining letter eagle to send a message to lead the 20,000 Vermilion Bird Army to Yunzhong County to intercept several Xiongnu barbarian cavalry that entered Yunzhong County. The attachment of the Donghu people allowed Meng Tian to see the opportunity to destroy the entire Xiongnu.

Meng Tian and Wei Yi can be said to have thought of Wang Qian in unison. However, Wei Yi thought that Wang Gan just didn't want Meng Tian to take the credit for the destruction of the Xiongnu, and Meng Tian thought that Wang Qian wanted to give Wang Gan the credit for the destruction, or give it to His Majesty the Emperor.

The five major legions, all of which are descendants of the emperor, are also the only army in the Great Qin army that does not have a single member of the Meng clan as a general. All the generals in the five major legions were appointed by the emperor from the 600,000 troops trained in the Bashang battalion.

The Suzaku Army destroyed the Xiongnu, and in another way, the emperor destroyed the Xiongnu. At this point, compared to Wei Yu, Meng Tian has to see it more thoroughly than him.

At the same time as sending a message ordering Wang Qian to come and join him, Meng Tian transferred nearly eighty percent of the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army in Jiuyuan City. , although it is nearly eighty percent, it is only 50,000 people.

The remaining nearly 120,000 foot soldiers were also transferred to more than 40,000 people to escort grain, grass and baggage, of course, they were not the main personnel to transport grain, grass and baggage, Meng Tian directly issued a military order, and hundreds of small tribes of different races large and small attached to Daqin and the people of Daqin in Jiuyuan City were recruited more than 100,000 people to be responsible for transporting grain, grass and baggage with the foot soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army, and it was the first time that the Jiuyuan Army, which had always taken the lead, did the matter of escorting grain and grass.

With 50,000 cavalry of the Suzaku Army, 50,000 elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army, plus 50,000 cavalry of the Longxi Army and more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry, the army under the command of Meng Tian now has nearly 400,000 people.

If labor is not enlisted, the supply of these 400,000 troops will be a problem that cannot be solved at all. At this time, Meng Tian couldn't take care of a lot, or it can be said that Meng Tian did it on purpose.

Meng Tian's prestige in Jiuyuan City was beyond doubt. With the issuance of his military order, all the conscripted people, whether they were foreign barbarians or Great Qin people, basically did not have the slightest voice of opposition or complaints, and the conscripted people even had a sense of honor.

People who have not been to Jiuyuan cannot understand the heartfelt reverence of the Jiuyuan people for Meng Tian. Whether it is a small tribe of different races, or the native people of Jiuyuan, or the Qin people who moved to Jiuyuan later, they all know one thing very clearly, that is, without the great general Meng Tian and the Jiuyuan army, it is impossible for them to live a comfortable life like today.

Originally, in history, after Meng Tian was killed by Hu Hai, more than one million people of all ethnic groups in the entire Jiuyuan County spontaneously gathered in Jiuyuan, and gathered at the foot of the Great Wall that was closed outside the city of Jiuyuan.

Of course, conscription for labor is not something that can be done in a moment. At this moment, it was almost an hour since Mao Dun retreated in the direction of Yunzhong County. Meng Tian was very worried that Mao Dun would use most of the Hun cavalry to attract the attention of the Jiuyuan army, and he fled from the territory of Great Qin by taking only a few guards and henchmen to break away from the brigade.

After a short rest, the 50,000 elite cavalry of the Fifty-Nine Plains Army were divided into fifty groups of 1,000 men and scattered in all directions to track in the direction of Maudun's retreat. As soon as any of the cavalry found any trace of the fleeing Maudun, they would immediately light a beacon fire and notify the whole army.

The 50,000 Longxi Army was used as the vanguard, tracking along the traces of the retreat of the Hun cavalry. Meng Tian still took 50,000 Suzaku troops and more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry as rear troops, hanging dozens of miles behind the Longxi Army and following them.

Just like his attitude towards Wang Gan, at this moment, even if Meng Tian did not receive the edict from Xianyang, he made up his mind to leave Mao Dun in Daqin. There is only one chance, how could Meng Tian let it go so easily.

The elite cavalry of the 50,000 Yuan Army turned into dozens of squads of 1,000 people, and soon disappeared at the end of the wilderness. Their task was the most difficult, not only to search for most of Maudun's traces, but more importantly, to prevent Maudon from leaving the brigade and escaping.

Not long after the elite cavalry of the 50,000 Yuan Army left, Xin Sheng led the 50,000 Longxi Army to chase after him in the direction of Mao Dun's escape. The Longxi army was launched, and Meng Tian immediately followed the road with 50,000 Vermilion Bird Army and more than 200,000 Donghu cavalry of Mohuer.

Meng Tian didn't worry too much about the grain, grass and baggage. During the more than ten years that the Jiuyuan Army guarded Jiuyuan, Meng Hong was not only the head of the Jiuyuan Shogunate, but also the logistics director of the Jiuyuan Army in the real sense.

As the thunderous roar of horses' hooves faded away, the overwhelming countless cavalry finally disappeared into the sky.

The sun has set in the west.

……

Great Qin Empire, Yunzhong County!

From the morning when the sun had not yet risen, to the west, Wang Gan led 20,000 Suzaku soldiers and soldiers to not relax for a moment except for a short rest at noon, eating and drinking.

Wang Qian knew very well that every time he delayed, the possibility of the Huns slaughtering the people of Daqin in the clouds was greater. What's more, the Huns left Jiuyuan last night and rushed to Yunzhong County.

The whole county in the clouds is sparsely populated, or the entire northern frontier of Great Qin is a sparsely populated place. In addition to the county governance Yunzhong City (the ancient city and village of the ancient city of Tuoketuo County (under the jurisdiction of Hohhot) in the later generations), there was only one county in Wuquan, which was close to the northern border of Daqin and near the Great Wall (near Hohhot in later generations).

Wang Qian and the 20,000 Vermilion Bird Army galloped straight to Yunzhong City. The Hun cavalry marched east from Jiuyuan City, and it was impossible to kill Wuquan County, which was located on the northernmost edge of Yunzhong County, but would only kill Yunzhong City along the road from Jiuyuan to Yunzhong.

This was the second time that Wang Qian and the others had rested, and at this moment they were less than a hundred miles away from Cloud City.

The Suzaku soldiers who dismounted to rest took out water and dry food one after another and devoured them, seizing the time to replenish their strength.

At this moment, the faint sound of horses' hooves came from the west of the Suzaku Army, and it seemed that the sound was at least ten miles away from the Suzaku Army. And the direction of the horse's hooves seemed to be the Cloudsdale to the east.
