The sound of horses' hooves ticking came from directly ahead.

When Lu Chen looked at the nearly 1,000 cavalry in front of him with bows and arrows and scimitars at his waist, he looked at the equally exhausted Xianbei guards behind him, and his heart trembled.

He said secretly, damn it, how can there be an interception... Huns?

Then.

There was no longer so much to manage, the deputy general continued to rush to the front with a hundred-man squad of cavalry, and a wave of bows and arrows attacked on the opposite side, and Lu Chen had already arrived at the edge on a war horse, just when the two armies were about to meet.

He suddenly led a hundred-man squad of cavalry to the south, but despite this, most of the casualties were still killed, and the remaining 30 or so cavalry followed Lu Chen to evacuate.

Suddenly a fight broke out on the spot.

Three hundred Xianbei guards rushed towards the archers and Huns with horses and lances, but the dense arrows on the opposite side swished at them, and the arrows hit the small round shield of the Xianbei guards, making a few crisp bells.

The Xianbei Janissaries armed their horses and guns rushed towards the archers and cavalry Huns, piercing their chests with a spear.

Half ringing over.

Lu Chen and the others stood on the hillside, looking at the battle between the two armies below, revealing frightened eyes, that was the strength of the Xianbei Praetorian Guard.

Nearly a thousand Hun archers were completely slaughtered.

Not a single person died of them.

And Lu Chen could only take the remnants of more than thirty cavalry at this time, away from here and back to the camp tent, it seems that the strategy of harassing the rear must be changed, and at the same time, he also understands why the old man did not shoot himself directly, but tried to capture him alive.

According to Xianbei's strength at this time, his petty fights in the past few days are just a clown jumping off the beam in the eyes of the old man.

Lu Chen stared at the map of the tribal branch near Mole Nanting, but he didn't find a place in his heart where he could start.

At this time.

All the Northern Desert light cavalry had been recalled to their camps, and the Xianbei army was stationed in the tribe, leaving them with no chance to get close to the tribal herdsmen.

As a result, there is no way to harass Mole Nanting, if this continues, won't his task be completed, and his military merits will not be mixed up at half, and he will be far away from upgrading to an intermediate town.

I had no choice but to be born in Luoyang, otherwise it would be much easier to find an opportunity to buy a six-grade official position through a eunuch, which was far easier than killing a foreign race to obtain military exploits.

In the process of the expedition, the second and third towns were also born.

Whether they will upgrade the town one step ahead of them depends on whether the other party has enough military achievements in exchange for military positions.

Military merit list

The first place is the lord player Li Long, who is firmly at the top of the list with 6561 military merits; The second place is the lord player Yu Wenyuan, who is followed with 5805 military merits; The latter few are all lord players, but miraculously, one adventurer began to appear on the military merit list.

Zhu Hong, who entered the military merit list under the name of an adventurous player.

Whew-

Lu Chen exhaled deeply, looked at the players' constantly improving military merits, and then looked at his two bleak military exploits, which were still obtained by Xu Rong by killing two Xianbei guards; At the moment, he was thinking about whether to go home, or stay and continue to find an opportunity to harass Mole Nanting and force Xianbei to withdraw his troops.

This answer has long been biased towards the former in Lu Chen's heart.

But.

That's when it happened.

"Ding. The soldiers of Beifu who escorted the Xianbei herdsmen were discovered by Xianbei spies, and a large number of Xianbei cavalry began to attack Xingluo Town, trying to rescue the captured Xianbei herdsmen, and asked the town lord to pay attention to defense. ”

Bang!

Lu Chen stumbled to the ground, what does it mean? Your own town has been discovered?

"My lord, there is an urgent report from the Starfall Scout, Starfall Town is besieged by three thousand Xianbei cavalry, and General Ayu asks for rescue."

"Quick, quickly send General Xu Rong to discuss countermeasures!"

Suddenly, Lu Chen fell into a panic, what the hell is this system doing, is it really going to destroy my Xingluo Town.

Xu Rong and his lieutenant Yang Feng had already arrived at the camp.

Lu Chen told the story of Xingluo Town being besieged by the Xianbei cavalry, and asked Xu Rong about their countermeasures, with the current Northern Desert Army and the Beifu Army, they would definitely not be able to fight against the Xianbei cavalry.

Ordinary Xianbei cavalry are already equivalent to county soldiers.

Not only is it level 60, but it also has ordinary iron weapons, and on the Xianbei horse, his own spear light horse also suffers, not to mention foot soldiers.

Among all the alien races, except for the Xiongnu archers, the Xianbei horse lance cavalry was the most restrained Han Chinese.

I thought about it for a long time.

Xu Rong finally spoke.

"Lord, we can't come back."

Lu Chen shook his head and sighed: "If you don't come back, there is no way to let Xianbei retreat, after a long time, I am afraid that Xingluo will definitely be broken by the Xianbei cavalry, and at that time, we who have lost our territory will be exterminated by the Xianbei cavalry sooner or later." ”

Adjutant General Yang Feng bowed his hand at this time, and said confidently: "Lord, general, the last general has a way to force Xianbei to retreat." ”

Lu Chen immediately turned into an eagle like a chicken who was about to die, and asked with wide eyes, "What is Vice General Yang's clever plan?" ”

At the same time, Xu Rong was also looking forward to Yang Feng's answer.

"The method of the lord, the general, and the last general is also based on the ingenuity of the previous captives and herdsmen, but this time, we will not attack the herdsmen, but the ......."

Yang Feng looked meaningfully at the cattle and sheep on the hillside in the distance.

"Cattle and sheep?" Lu Chen asked puzzled.

Yang Feng nodded and explained excitedly: "Yes, as long as we take away the cattle and sheep of Xianbei, the cattle and sheep are the rations of Xianbei, they can lose tens of thousands of herdsmen, but they can't lose tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, these are their life-saving food, and they are also the foundation of the development of the coming year, and we just need to kill the cattle and sheep and take them away directly. ”

"There is no Xianbei of cattle and sheep, just like a tiger with teeth extracted, as long as we attack the cattle and sheep, they must send troops to protect the cattle and sheep, however, at the same time that they protect the cattle and sheep in the pasture, we can go to the herdsmen of the tribal alliance, and they will definitely be soft."

Yang Feng's analysis immediately made Lu Chen understand in an instant, and Xu Rong also agreed: "Vice General Yang's strategy is feasible, but since it has been decided to stay, this camp tent must not be kept, and the order is to dismantle them all, and a team of 100 people will act separately, aiming at Xianbei's cattle and sheep." ”

Lu Chen also nodded in agreement, and at the same time, he recalled that this strategy was not the practice of the Eastern Han Dynasty general Duan Xi to destroy Qiang, and it was proved that this method was indeed feasible, and secondly, the purpose of Xianbei's invasion of the Han Dynasty was to solve the problem of rations.

In fact, he had an even crazier idea, which was to kill the leader of the Mole South Court, however, it was only an idea now.

"Inform down, pull out the camp at midnight, and act separately, remember, don't confront the Xianbei army head-on, withdraw after the captivity, and don't fight."

"Yes, my lord."

When midnight came, Lu Chen followed Xu Rong's Hundred Cavalry Squad to a ranch in the east, which was several miles away from Mole Nanting, and at night, the Hundred Cavalry Squad began their slaughter.

The screams of the cattle and sheep woke up the herdsmen and five or six herdsmen, but they were easily subdued by Lu Chen.

Three hours of slaughter.

Some of the harvested cattle and sheep were taken away, and the rest was set on fire with pine oil.

Although Lu Chen was reluctant, he did not dare to leave these cattle and sheep carcasses, because the Xianbei people have always had the habit of roasting and storing meat, and these are rations.

You can only rest assured if you burn it into charcoal.

Thousands of cattle and sheep were charred by the burning of wood, and the pasture smelled of meat, but they could not leave a piece to taste, because they had to leave the fire as soon as possible.

With the illumination of the firelight, there will definitely be Xianbei cavalry arriving here.

Lu Chen: They went to the next pasture.

The next day.

In the South Court of Mole, Bu Dugen's face was gloomy, staring at the spies below, he held the spear tightly in his hand, if it wasn't for the general below to pull him, he would have rushed out of the South Court tent and went to settle accounts with Lu Chen.

Overnight.

One-sixth of the pastures in the Mole South Court were damaged, and not even a single cow or sheep cub was left, and the cruelty of the method was no less than that of slaughtering the village and exterminating the clan.

And the survival of the ranch is related to the survival of the entire Xianbei, and Lu Chen's approach at the moment is no less than directly slaughtering the Xianbei people.

"Find, find me, you must find the mere three thousand cavalry, and that kid, I will definitely pick him under the gun......"

"Chief, at this time, we must not disperse our forces to pursue the only three thousand cavalry, we must hold the rest of the pastures, if the ranches are attacked again, we are only afraid of ......"

"Chief, what Micah said is reasonable, we should protect the pasture first, if the ranch suffers another loss, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to ally other tribes in Nanting, and at that time, we will be torn apart, and the Han and Xiongnu will definitely take the opportunity to go north and oppress us again."

"Think twice, leader."

He pondered for a long time, looked at the hillside in the distance, and suddenly sighed and said: "Order the Nanting army to go and guard the remaining pastures, and don't let the ranch have any more accidents, damn three thousand light horsemen." ”

"LinkedIn, the last will go to arrange it immediately."

Now.

Budugen's advisor and military general had already left, and the old man on his side immediately ordered with a cold face: "Que Ji, you personally sent two thousand forbidden troops to pursue the Han soldiers, be sure to capture the other party's main general alive, and Ben Khan will break his body into pieces." ”

The strong and fierce man beside him replied, "The last general obeys the order." ”

He came out of the big tent, armed with a heavy long knife, gathered 2,000 Xianbei Praetorian Cavalry, and headed towards the outer tent.

Lu Chen and the others' spies returned.

"My lord, the Nanting army has all defended the ranch, and the other party has also personally sent two thousand Xianbei Praetorian Cavalry to hunt us down."

"It's okay, the Northern Desert Light Cavalry has been dispersed, it is impossible for them to catch us, order down, all the cavalry will go into battle lightly, and next, the herdsmen...... Massacre of herdsmen. When Lu Chen read the last four words, he was still a little unbearable in his heart, but in order to force Xianbei to retreat, he didn't dare to hesitate, let alone be merciful.

Now there is only ruthlessness, more ruthless than anyone, and if it is Gongsun Zhan, I am afraid that Xianbei will have the intention of retiring from the army.

It is no wonder that Xianbei in the previous life only lasted for a month, and then retreated in a hurry, and the enemy forces behind were only Youzhou and Xiliang.

That's when it happened.

A dense sound of horses' hooves was approaching.

Lu Chen said secretly: "What the hell, why are you so unlucky every time." ”
