~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Liaodong fleet traced the river all the way to the east, and the next day at dusk to the left of the pond, the boat was moored on the shore, and the pot was buried to make rice. After all, this fleet had nearly 3,000 people and hundreds of horses, and it was impossible to cook all of them on the ship, otherwise they would not be able to eat at dawn.
In the same way, in order to ensure that the Son of Heaven, the palace maids, the hundred officials and the attendants had a good and comfortable resting environment, the Son of Heaven's guards were divided into three shifts, one to guard and two to camp on the shore, so as to free up a lot of space.
There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn, it was the turn of the White Wolf Army to be on duty, so the infantry army got on the boat to escort it, and the cavalry disembarked to patrol. The rest of the Bai Bo army and Dong Cheng, the two guards of Hu Ben and Yulin who finished the ambush, rested and rested, ate and ate, and waited for the order to set sail.
At two o'clock, Ma Han and the ministers greeted the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess together. Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, was pleased to see that the officials, palace maids, attendants, and guards who had gotten rid of danger and received sufficient food and drink all had a long-lost smile on their faces. The panic and gloom since leaving Chang'an have dissipated overnight. This qiē is all the credit of Ma Jun! Well, he was born in the Fufeng Ma clan, young and heroic, controlling the land of seven counties and one country, and the soldiers are full of food...... The royal sister really has a vision! The spirit of the father in the sky will also be pleased.
Liu Xie hadn't been happy for long, when he suddenly heard a short horn sound coming from the shore, and the next moment, he saw that Ma Han's always calm face had changed.
The princess Wannian behind the screen, Ma Yunluo and Zhao Yingzi all felt something, and looked at Ma Han together.
Liu Xie ate and said: "Ma, Ma Jun ......"
Ma Han bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please sit wide, and the minister will go back when he goes." ”
Looking at the back of the horse in a hurry, it was difficult for the ministers to keep quiet in front of the king, and exchanged heads and ears. Talk.
Ma Han heard it clearly, and the signal that came just now was the urgent news of the attack on the White Wolf Army. In this area of Huangchi, there are no rogue bandits who have become a climate, and even if there are, there will not be a well-equipped cavalry like the Wolf Tooth Flying Cavalry who attacks the patrol to the death. So most likely......
Sure enough, when the horses hurriedly disembarked, the oncoming cavalry was the patrol cavalry led by Wu Chase, and everyone was intact, but it was difficult to hide the anger of the horseman. And behind them. It was dozens of blood-stained white wolf light cavalry.
Ma Han's eyesight was outstanding, and he recognized from a distance that this group of cavalry was the two teams of light cavalry that he had left in the camp in Shaanxi County, and his heart sank, and sure enough, something had happened.
Bloodied and tired, the white wolf rode lightly, rolled off his horse from his saddle, and knelt down in front of the horseman. But there were also more than a dozen horsemen sitting upright on horseback, and only saluting their lords, for the simple reason that they were acute. Between two side-by-side horses, several wounded men were lying on their backs on cloth beds. They had to keep their horses under control so that the wounded would not be thrown off the bed.
Ma Han's face was grim, and he walked step by step past the knights kneeling in two rows. Come to the wounded at the front. He recognized at a glance that this half of his body was stained with blood, his face was yellow, and his lips were chapped. The injured man with guilt in his eyes was the left-behind commander, the fake Sima Hanxi.
Han Xi was the first batch of Hango cavalry to follow Ma Han. And entered the Central Plains with Ma Ha several times, participated in almost all battles, and was the second echelon general under Ma Ha and Tang Nu, Wu Chai and others. His ability may be far from being comparable to the first-echelon generals represented by Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, but his loyalty and sincerity to Ma Han are not comparable to those famous generals. It can be said that as long as the horse gives an order, they can die for the Lord.
The first thing Ma Han said when he opened his mouth, he didn't ask about the war at all, only about the injury: "How is it?" Can you still drink with the old brothers in Liaodong? ”
Han Xi grinned, probably because of the injury, and his facial muscles twitched: "Don't worry, my lord, Han Xi's life is very hard, and he can't die." ”
Ma Han nodded: "How many brothers have you broken?" ”
Han Xi's eyes were gloomy: "The auxiliaries are gone, most of the foot soldiers are broken, and they are light horses...... Ahem...... The light cavalry also lost more than 30 horses, if it weren't for the help of Xu Duwei, I was afraid of ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until I wait for one......"
Ma Han grinded his teeth: "The Xiliang army really has two blows, and it has just experienced a big defeat, and it was able to recover so quickly and launch an attack on the White Polish army, which is not inferior in strength......"
Han Xi's expression suddenly became excited: "No! The Xiliang army did not fight the White Polish army...... cough cough cough cough ...... They...... Light hits us...... cough cough ......" Han Xi was excited, choked up, and couldn't finish his words, so he had to stretch out his instructions to carry one of his light cavalry commanders to speak on his behalf.
With the angry narration of the tun chief, Ma Han's face was like frost, and he was slaughtered.
Last night, the White Wolf Army garrison, which was surrounded by the four battalions of Baibo and Xiongnu, was suddenly attacked by hundreds of hussars of the Xiliang Army. It should be said that in a dangerous situation, the half battalion of the White Wolf Army led by Han Xi was still on guard. Deer rejects horses, tribulus terrestris deep ditch, all available. The auxiliaries guarded the military supplies, the infantry did not remove their armor, and the cavalry patrolled in three squads. But I never expected that the Xiliang Iron Horse would come so fast and fast, and there was no time to warn.
Strictly speaking, the White Wolf Army was trapped by the White Wave Army - it was precisely because it was surrounded by the four battalions of the White Wave that the soldiers of the White Wolf Army would inevitably think that if the enemy attacked, they must first break the White Wave Battalion, so that they would have sufficient warning time and have time to enter the battle state and meet the enemy.
It's a pity that Han Xi still doesn't understand a cruel reality: in the Three Kingdoms era, allies were sold, let alone an "ally" who had been a thief for more than ten years and was bought by Wanhu grain.
Under the night fire, the eight hundred most elite Xiliang iron cavalry almost unhindered to the front of the white wolf barracks, and after losing dozens of horses, they broke through the deep ditch of the deer and the thistle, and pulled down the camp fence with a flying rope, and broke into the camp.
The white wolf auxiliaries are actually baggage soldiers, non-combat sequences, only equipped with weapons such as the dilapidated halberd short blades that have been eliminated, and in the face of the most veteran powerhouses of the Han Dynasty, only the share of being slaughtered. The White Wolf Infantry Army was in a hurry, the formation was unstable, morale was low, and under the continuous impact of the Xiliang Army, the formation was crumbling. Once the infantry formation is broken, what awaits them will be a massacre.
Han Xi led a hundred horsemen to fight to the death with the Xiliang army, the fire shadow rushed to the middle, the sword light was cold, the blade cut the bones, from time to time there were knights falling from their horses, the war horses neighed and the soldiers were dying. It's like a nightmare.
Compared with the white wolf light ride and the Xiliang iron ride, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The white wolf cavalry is better equipped with neat horse harness, complete armor, and high defensive attributes; The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is experienced in a hundred battles, skilled in killing, and has strong attack attributes. If the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is against the Wolf Tooth Flying Cavalry or the White Wolf Heavy Cavalry, it will not be pleased, but against the light cavalry, and it has many advantages in terms of number and morale. Han Xi's defeat was a matter of time.
If nothing else, over time, as the "gentleman" said, the White Wolf Army will be completely wiped out. But he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate one thing - not everyone in the White Polish Army stood by and watched. At least one person, fearless of danger, stepped forward.
Xu Huang!
Horses were merciful and generous to give troops...... Whatever that is. is enough to make Xu Huang stand up and reciprocate. But he still came a little late, for no other reason, Yang Feng did not give the order for a long time. didn't get the military order, even if Xu Huang was so anxious that he jumped his legs. Unable to leave the camp. Until Xu Huang broke into the tent again, Chen said that it was very powerful, and said that if he sat back and watched the White Wolf Army be wiped out, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get grain from General Right in the future. Yang reluctantly agreed.
In fact, Yang Feng was not worried about whether to come with grain, and he did not ask the Liaodong Army directly, but from the emperor. If you don't give it, you will slap the emperor in the face, and it has nothing to do with us. It is precisely for this reason that the fourth battalion of Baibo will sit back and watch the Xiliang army attack the white wolf battalion. But the so-called eating people has a soft mouth, and he has also eaten two or three thousand grains provided by the Liaodong Army, which means that he will be easy to explain in the future.
So Yang Feng symbolically sent 500 foot soldiers to Xu Huang to deal with it. And Hu Cai, Han Xian, and Qubei don't even have the meaning to deal with it. Of course, they also have rhetoric, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji's army are eyeing each other, as long as they don't move, the enemy army won't move, since that's the case, it's better for everyone not to move. As for your white wolf camp passive, that's your fate, the soldiers are in danger, and everyone is safe and secure.
It was Xu Huang's sudden attack that finally broke the siege for the White Wolf Army - Xu Huang struck a whirlwind blow and killed Li Li, the main general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the enemy army was in chaos, Han Xi took advantage of the situation to lead the remnants to kill a bloody road, rushed eastward, ran for most of the night, and finally caught up with the army the next day.
After listening to the narration of the light cavalry commander, Ma Han was expressionless: "Very good, Yang Feng, Hu Cai, Han Xian, and Qubei, all of them are greedy and forgetful." I'll let you know what it means to spit it out for me! ”
Han Xi gritted his teeth and said: "The generals who attacked the camp, one is Li Li's son, and the other is his nephew Hu Feng. ”
"Lili! Hu Feng! At this moment, Ma Han's face finally changed, and his eyes revealed a red and cold light, as if the wolf's head and red pupils were possessed, and it was trembling to look at, "You are dead!" ”
Ma Huo raised his head, and the side of the ship's battlement was already crowded with officials, guards, and attendants, and even Liu Xie, the son of heaven, went out of the cabin to visit regardless of the wind and cold. Unexpectedly, I was scared a lot.
Since Liu Xie's contact with Ma Han, he has seen the gentleness and humility of this prospective brother-in-law, and he has never seen such a fierce and pressing side. Although he didn't come for himself, Liu Xie still felt like falling into an ice cellar, cold from head to foot, and his lower body was even more unconscious......
But everyone who was swept by Ma Han's gaze, such as Yang Biao, Liu Ai, Han Rong, Wang Zifu, Wu Ji, Dong Cheng, Li Le, and the generation of the series, was shrouded in the murderous aura that seemed to be substantial, and one by one seemed to return to the feeling when the boat capsized and fell into the ice river that night, shrinking and trembling.
"What? Ma Jun, do you want to, want to kill back? In the finch room, Liu Xie, who was wearing a thick fur fox fur, was surprised. Don't say it's the Son of Heaven, even the ministers can't believe it, isn't it just a few hundred people who died?
Liu Ai hurriedly said: "The safety of the Son of Heaven is the first priority, and the top priority is to go east as soon as possible, and don't make extraneous branches!" ”
Ma Han said calmly: "The minister only led two hundred horsemen to go, united with the generals of Baibo to fight back, the heavy cavalry and the infantry army all stayed behind to protect His Majesty, and the fleet also set off according to the original plan, please not worry about Your Majesty and the ministers." ”
Two hundred rides? Enter the camp of the Baibo Army and unite with the Marshals of Baibo to counterattack the Xiliang Army? This, this right general won't be mad, right? The ministers in the bird room were buzzing, Dong Cheng was mixed with joy, and Li Le was secretly happy - go, it's better not to go back, so, this elite soldier and grain ...... Hey.
"But, but......" Liu Xie wanted to say, how could Bai Bojun join forces with you, but how could this be pronounced?
Ma Han's tone was calm and decisive: "This matter is not as simple as more than 100 soldiers being attacked and killed. The Xiliang army had been defeated by the Bai Bo army in Caoyang a month earlier, but then raised troops to fight back and defeated Bai Bo; The day before yesterday, the minister led the Liaodong Army to break the third battalion of the Xiliang Army in one fell swoop, and Li Dao immediately retaliated the next day. How so? Because Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji all know that an army can defeat the battle, but it must not be discouraged; Defeated today, revenge the next day, blood debts and blood repayment, morale is still there, and the soldiers are still there; However, if they admit defeat and stop and hesitate, the morale of this army will suffer irreversible damage. In the future, when facing the enemy, victory is solid, and defeat is discouraged, collapse, and flee...... To build a strong army, it takes countless efforts and one victory after another, and to destroy it, it only takes inaction after one defeat. ”
"A wolf never runs away after being bitten by a vicious dog." Ma Han's eyes turned around on the Son of Heaven and the ministers, as well as on the jade screen, and the essence was shining, making people dare not look at each other, "It will only bite back hard!" (To be continued......)
