Call! Donnu threw the torch on the high pile of debris, and the flames ignited the hay, which scorched the debris, and one after another the fire erupted, and the flames rose into the air and the smoke billowed out.

This is the seventh tribe that the Hango tribe led by Ma Han has broken through in just one month.

Han Ge, wave the big Han Ge, break the shackles, liberate the Han people, return my freedom, and strike a blow against him. This is the name of the tribe with the Han people as the main body, and used it as a call to attract the Han slaves of the surrounding tribes to flee and join. The fleeing Han Nu will naturally arouse the anger of the Hu people of the tribe, and this has become the best excuse for the Han Ge tribe to send troops to intervene.

Since Ma Han became the commander of the Han Ge tribe, under the pretext of safeguarding the interests of the Han people, he almost swept away the Karasuma and Xianbei tribes in the Baitan area with the rapid momentum of breaking a tribe every four days.

Because the Baitandi is close to Yuyang and Youbeiping, this area is the junction of the forces of Gongsun Zhan, the famous natural enemy of Hunu, so neither the Karasuma people nor the Xianbei people dare to move the stronger tribes here, so as not to be slaughtered by the White Horse General. In this buffer between the Han court and the Hu people, the tribes where they live are all small tribes with less than 1,000 people, and Gongsun Zhan's "bull knife" basically disdains to cut these "little chickens".

In this way, it is cheaper to be a horseman. The so-called "everything is difficult at the beginning", with dozens of them, seven or eight bows, and hundreds of old and weak, even if there is another backbone department, they can't bear it. And the small tribes around this can act as a whetstone to encourage the newborn Hange tribe. Tongguò continued to attack and annex to achieve the goal of training, developing and growing the horses.

Whether it is the Xiongnu, Donghu, Karasuma or Xianbei, the development and growth of their tribes is inseparable from the captivity of the Han people. Without the replenishment of a large number of captive Han people, the nomadic tribe itself would have been able to give birth to a strong tribe for decades or even hundreds of years with its harsh natural environment, low birth rate, and high mortality rate. In other words, the more powerful the Hu tribe, the more Han slaves were captured. It is thanks to the hard work of the Han slave men and the hard work of the Han slave women that they can fatten up and strengthen a tribe, and after they are strong, they can invade the border and plunder people and property. In this way, a vicious circle was formed, sucking the blood of the Han nation, and nourishing one after another vicious wolves that had multiplied for thousands of years. For thousands of years, their names have changed constantly: Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongol...... But it has never changed in his bones.

At least one-third of any tribe, large or small, is made up of slaves, of which Han slaves make up an absolute proportion. Without this, it is not enough to support a tribe. Therefore, every time Ma Han conquers a tribe, there is a sad and happy harvest.

In just one month, there were more than 3,000 Han people and Hunu in the Han Ge Division, and more than 200 cavalry and reserve cavalry. Inadvertently, a medium-sized, Han Chinese as the main part of a new tribe was quietly born on the White Sandalwood Plain.

Under the light of the blazing fire, there is a sharp contrast between the more than 100 crying Han slaves who escaped from the cage with the rest of their lives, and the hundreds of Xianbei women and children who are sad and sad.

More than 50 Hango were riding and serving, under the leadership of Tang Nu and Wu Chai, divided into two teams, left and right, and guarded the Xianbei prisoners on both wings.

Ma Hutser rode at the front of the team, his face did not have much joy, a pair of eagle eyes, patrolling around, full of vigilance. This time he attacked, it was really a bit risky, he had already gone beyond Baitan, crossed the Lishui River (now Luanhe), and approached the area of Pinggang. This area is the junction of the forces of the Karasuma people and the Xianbei people, and hundreds of miles further north is where the three Xianbei tooth tents in the middle of Xianbei are located. Such an unscrupulous attack on the Xianbei tent is likely to be counterattacked by the Xianbei cavalry. It's just that for Ma Han, this risk has to be taken.

Now is the best period for development, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shaozheng in the south are fighting each other, and they don't have time to pay attention to the affairs of the north. The Karasuma people and Xianbei people in the east and north had long been frightened by Gongsun Zhan, and habitually avoided the white horse general's troops. Even if the main force of the Youzhou Army is now all going south and competing with the Jizhou Army, and the counties of Shanggu, Yuyang, and Youbeiping are empty, Huma does not dare to peep south. In this way, a power vacuum has been formed in the northeastern county of Youzhou, and it is the right time to fill it at this time.

Once the news of Gongsun Zhan's defeat came, the aura of "invincibility" shrouded in the head of the white horse general was shattered, and Hu Nu, who was the best at taking advantage of the situation, would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. He will definitely send troops to test and gradually encroach on the land, pushing his power into the border counties, just as the Xianbei people and Karasuma people did after the death of Gongsun Chan in history.

Therefore, Ma Han must seize this rare opportunity to expand his strength as much as possible and save more Han people. Every time there is one more Hermes-Epitek, there is one more strength, and this risk must be taken and it is worth taking. The reason why he crossed the wet water and entered the territory of the Xianbei people is very simple. The relatively weak Karasuma tribe in the Baitan area has been swept away, and if it is fought again, it will be a tribe whose strength is comparable to or even stronger than that of the bone power department. With the strength of the Hange Department at this time, it is best to pick soft persimmons. So Ma Han set his sights on the north, anyway, whether it was the Karasuma people or the Xianbei people, it was these Hu Nu who were fighting.

In the past month, the happiest ones in the sweep were the Hange cavalry and reserve cavalry such as Tang Nu and Wu Chai.

Donnu finally knew why the horse warrior was able to make such a difficult dodge under the horse's flank that day, it turned out to be a kind of riding weapon - stirrups. Now Donnu is also equipped with a saddle, stirrups, and horseshoe, and his riding and archery skills have improved by leaps and bounds. The Hango cavalry led by him also benefited from the help of new horse harnesses, and the skill of riding and archery was greatly compensated and improved. These young and strong men and slaves who have lived in Biansai for several years or even more than ten years already have the strength to compete with the Karasuma and Xianbei cavalry, who are known as the best cavalry in the world.

In order to expand the number of troops, Ma Han's conscription was no longer limited to pure Han Chinese, and Han Chinese with Hu blood could also enlist in the army - this was the case in Wuchai. This is a young man in his early twenties, with superb riding skills, agile skills, and excellent archery skills.

The reserve cavalry is the Han people whose riding and archery skills have not been able to pass the guò assessment for the time being, but there is a certain room for improvement. Let them become the servants of the regular cavalry, and with more training and actual combat, I believe that everyone can become a qualified Hange cavalry. In a way, this is also a kind of reserve system. After all, there is attrition in battle, and without a good replenishment mechanism, how can it become a strong army in the true sense?

At the moment, what Hange lacks most is time, and what he is most worried about is provoking a strong enemy. Ma Han believes that as long as he is given enough time, not too much, half a year. Expand the Hange cavalry to 500 cavalry, so that the entire Hange tribe will be enough to gain a foothold in Baitan.

As the saying goes, the more worried you are, the more you come, and when the team reached the wet water, the Hange rangers thirty miles away sent a warning message: "Thirty miles northwest, I found a Xianbei cavalry, about 300 horsemen, attacking this team. ”

"Three hundred rides? Where did this come from? Donnu and Uchai glanced at each other, and saw horror in each other's eyes.

"It's the Xianbei cavalry...... "Ma Han tapped his riding boots with a leather whip, with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes flashed.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a saying that "Karasuma Jing rode Xiong Youyan", but there was also a sentence behind it, "Xianbei Jing rode to win Karasuma".

About ten years ago, in the sixth year of Emperor Xiping, the Xianbei lord Tan Shihuai briefly unified the three Xianbei tribes and attacked the Han Dynasty and the two states. The Han army dispatched Xia Yu, the commander of Karasuma, Tian Yan, the general of Poxianbei, and Zang Min, the general of Zang Min, who was a Xiongnu lieutenant, each led more than 10,000 cavalry of Han and Hu (mainly Karasuma cavalry), and attacked Xianbei from Gaoliu (now Yanggao, Shanxi), Yunzhong County (northeast of present-day Inner Mengtuoketuo), and Yanmen County (northwestern of present-day Dai County, Shanxi). The Han army went out of the fortress for more than 2,000 miles, and fought with tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry led by Tanshi Huai, the Han army was defeated, and the corpses were thousands of miles, and the government and the opposition were shocked.

If it weren't for the death of Tanshi Huai, the division of Xianbei, civil strife, and the sharp weakening of power, the Xianbei people would not have to wait until the Eastern Jin Dynasty a hundred years later to rise, and the Wuhu Chaos would have been staged in advance.

It was this battle that shocked the Han Dynasty that established the reputation of the Xianbei cavalry for their courage and good fighting, even if it was a well-known Karasuma cavalry in the world, it was inferior.

What to do? Thirty miles, throwing down the newly rescued Han Min and Xianbei prisoners and captures, the Han Ge cavalry quickly crossed the river, quickly retreated south, and took advantage of the harness to have a chance to get rid of the Xianbei pursuers. If you don't give up, the consequences are worrying.

Tangu, Uchai, and the other Hango cavalry set their sights on their leader.

Ma Han's gaze swept over the face of Hermes-Epitek, who was still in the know, and what he saw was a face full of joy for his rebirth. Who can bear to turn the joy on this face into despair and indignation?

"Wu chased all the cavalry, escorted the Han people and the captives to cross the river and return to the camp. Donnu and all the horsemen, meet the enemy with me! ”

Ma Han finally made a decision, shook the leopard bow in his hand, knocked the horse's belly with his stirrups, and rushed northwest like an arrow. Behind him, Donnu and twenty-four Hango were riding, and without hesitation, followed closely behind.

The iron hooves rolled up in the dust, sonorous as if they were gone, and they did not hesitate to meet the enemy.

Twenty-six VS three hundred, no matter how you look at it, it's a must-lose battle, how to fight?
