On the sixth day of the attack (i.e., the day after the reinforcements were out). Thunder rode on a horse galloping on the prairie, and no one made a sound, and the long-term high-intensity and high-consumption battle made the Thunder soldiers tired, and no one had any strength. They were on the verge of collapse, and if the pursuit of the Huns stopped at this time, the surviving more than 300 thunder soldiers, I am afraid that few of them would still be able to sit on horseback. The Huns still had no intention of giving up, and the intention of killing them all was very obvious, and the thunder soldiers had to grit their teeth and insist. From the very beginning, the Huns firmly held the advantage in numbers, and the divisions alternated pursuits, allowing the Huns to get the necessary respite. The Thunder Riders are different, they are in a weak position without a substitute, they must always be ready to deal with the offense, and their spirit is highly stressed for a long time. The Thunder Warriors had learned to sleep on horseback, and the short intervals between battles were not wasted, all forced out by the murderous Huns, who desperately needed to rest. Many people were crumbling and languishing on horseback with their eyes closed, but as soon as Li Jin's order to "prepare for battle" arrived, the momentum of the hundreds of men was immediately completely different, and even the wounded soldiers who were guarded in the center of the cavalry were like wounded beasts, restless and dangerous. Li Jin could feel that the Thunder Rider was changing. The grim status quo made it impossible for Li Jin to look at this change with a happy mood, and Li Jin felt heavy in the heart of so many brothers who had died in battle. Although he had been fighting on the front line, leading his troops forward with great personal bravery, and hundreds of enemies had died at his hands, he still blamed himself for not being able to keep more of his soldiers, and Li Jin even began to wonder if his decision to insist on leading the Thunder Cavalry deep into the territory of the Huns was correct. "I hope ...... I can get out of the prairie alive with them, and I must go back. The rider followed closely to the left of Li Jin. The rider's face was covered with blood, his clothes were torn, the spear in his hand seemed to have been washed in a pool of blood, and after drying, it was covered with dark red blood stains all over the gun, and it was a little sticky to hold, and the place where the arrow was hit on his left shoulder was simply bandaged, and the blood had already stained the white cloth red, and the wound was broken again. If it weren't for the iconic delicate sword at his waist, it would be difficult to recognize him, he was the most high-spirited military general of the Thunder Rider, Di Yun of the "Phoenix Xiang Five Littles". "Big brother, the war horse is almost unable to hold on, what should I do?" Di Yun reminded Li Jin in a whisper that he didn't say "the brothers can't hold on", there is no child's play on the battlefield, if you don't want to die, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. If the horse is unable to run anymore, the thunder rider can only be slaughtered; The exhaustion of arrows means that the rhubarb crossbow is useless, and the Thunder Rider will lose its most deterrent weapon against the Huns, and can only rely on brutal white-knuckle combat to repel the enemy. "How many arrows are there?" "About two hundred or so, and one salvo is over." Rao was mentally prepared, but Li Jin's face still became ugly. -- Actually, it's not easy for the rhubarb crossbow to be muted until now. , one person and two horses can carry more supplies, and secondly, the thunder rider is very restrained when he uses the rhubarb crossbow later, not to shoot the enemy's war horse for the main purpose, most of the time the point is stopped, and the Huns are forced to retreat. After thinking about it for a while, Li Jin said in a deep voice: ". Di Yun nodded: "Yes,." Li Jin's eyes splashed with sparks, and he said to Di Yun: "In my opinion, the Huns are also dying, not only are they a lot slower, but there are fewer pursuers behind, we are difficult, they are also difficult, now is the time to compete in will!" Let's keep running as far east as we can, maybe the Huns will give up first, and when we can't do that, we'll find another place to stop...... Fight to the death! Di Yun replied and stopped talking. At noon on the seventh day, the Thunder Rider finally stopped, the Huns were still behind, and the alarm was not lifted. The reason why it stopped was because the horses carrying the thunderous soldiers had reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, and in just one morning, more than 30 horses had fallen to death, and dozens of cavalrymen who were sleeping on horseback could not react and fell heavily to the ground, and two soldiers fell to death on the spot. I can't run anymore! Another important reason why Li Jin decided to stay was because of the terrain. There are still hundreds of miles away from Shuofang here, under the control of the Huns, the water and grass are not abundant enough, it is not a good place for grazing, few Huns tribes are willing to come here, there are few people here in ordinary times, and over time it has gradually become a veritable no-man's land. In order to avoid causing "international disputes", the Han Dynasty army would not lightly cross the Lei Chi by half a step, but the Huns would not reduce their southward plundering because of the Han family's "reserve", and they would never be ambiguous when looting, and they would never be soft when killing. The Han Dynasty was not as weak as it is now, and the Han Dynasty was brilliant! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the great generals Wei Qing and Huo Quai, led the Han cavalry to the north several times to attack the Huns, the soldiers were invincible, and the arrogant Huns complained that even the wolf rushed to the sky, and even the royal court was lost, and the captured population, cattle and sheep were innumerable, and the remnants of the Huns fled to the bitter cold land in the extreme north. The Xiongnu retreated completely, vacating a large area of land, the Han Dynasty 6 continued to emigrate to the north, and some Han people who fled due to war and harsh government also went north, built settlements and planted crops on the territory of the original Xiongnu, and gradually spread to farther places, so that the junction of the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and a large number of Han villages and towns appeared. When the Xiongnu regained their vitality and returned to their original territory, they were naturally unwilling to allow the Han people to occupy their grasslands, and attacks on Han settlements became more and more frequent. In order to protect themselves, the style of Han settlements also changed, and the villages and towns connected by earthen forts became a unique landscape on the grassland at that time. As the Han dynasty gradually weakened, it was unable to provide adequate protection for the people who settled on the grassland, and the civil forces could not continue to harass the Huns, so they finally had to give up their hard-built new homes and move back to the Central Plains to settle. The Han people left, the settlements built by the Han people remained, and the Huns, who were accustomed to living by water and grass, did not want to tie their wandering footsteps with earthen forts, and under the erosion of the years and desert sand, the untended Han settlements gradually became desolate ruins. The location of the Thunder Ride is a large abandoned earthen fort group, looking at the scale, it was originally a township level. The outer walls of the earthen forts had collapsed considerably, and the Thunder Riders could easily enter the town through multiple entrances - in other words, the Huns could easily enter the town if they wanted to; Most of the town's earthen forts are dilapidated, at least half of the houses have no roofs, there are ruins everywhere, and there are still some trees that miraculously grow in the town. Outside the earthen fort group, there is a small lake and a small forest, the forest may have been planted by the ancestors, and the small lake has not only existed for many years, perhaps it is precisely because of its existence that the ancestors will choose to establish a stronghold here. This group of earthen forts became a temporary resting place for the Thunder Riders, and when the horses and soldiers recovered some of their bodies, it was time to break through the encirclement and get back on the road. This place may also become a decisive battle place at any time, hiding here, the complex terrain will cause a lot of trouble for the Huns chasing in, Li Jin does not think that the cavalry can maintain a high degree of mobility in such terrain conditions. Thunder can't ride, and neither can the Huns! Li Jin ordered the war horses and the seriously wounded who had lost their combat effectiveness to be hidden in the central area of the earthen fort group, and there were more than 200 soldiers with the strength of the first battle, scattered and hidden in the buildings in the middle of the earthen fort group, while seizing the time to rest, while preparing for street fighting. Seeing that the Han cavalry was finally unable to flee anymore, the Huns were greatly boosted and quickly surrounded the earthen fort group! Out of caution, the first batch of Huns did not immediately enter after completing the encirclement on the periphery of the Tubao group, and the leading Hun generals immediately sent people to report to the follow-up brigade. Time passed minute by minute, more and more Huns rushed to the outside of the fort, and an hour later, the right Xian Wang Qubei also led the headquarters to the scene. After a little thought, the decision was made, and hundreds of Hun cavalry dismounted, walked into the earthen fort group with sabers in hand, and launched a tentative attack. Street fighting begins! Under the leadership of Li Jin and Di Yun and others, the Thunder soldiers and the Huns who broke into the fort launched a desperate fight, they have no way to retreat, only with the blood feud between the two armies when they fought for thousands of miles, the Huns and the Thunder Cavalry had no room for reconciliation, only a battle against the water. The combat power of the Huns is obviously better than that of the Thunder Cavalry, when there is the protection of the iron wall armor, the Thunder Cavalry can barely wrestle with the Hun cavalry, and now the life-saving armor has long been thrown into the river, and the Thunder Soldiers are suddenly at a disadvantage when fighting with the Huns. Fortunately, a group of ten people of the Thunder Cavalry with tacit understanding to advance and retreat in an orderly manner, the location is also on the side of the Thunder Cavalry, making full use of the terrain to carry out a fight, often in the local formation of the number of advantages, constantly there are Huns besieged by them to death. The ten-man team led by Li Jin and Di Yun was very active on the battlefield, and wherever the city was the tightest, they would appear there, and corpses were everywhere they went, and at least half of the Huns who died in the fort had a direct or indirect relationship with them! Qubei organized several waves of attacks, all of which were bravely repelled by the united Thunder Riders. As night fell, the Huns finally stopped their attack and rested outside the fort, waiting for the next dawn. Li Jin called Di Yun and said in a deep voice: "You go and select twenty brothers, rest well, bring enough dry food and water, one person and two horses, and break through at the right time, I will find a way to attract the attention of the enemy." Di Yun was stunned, but quickly reacted and refused angrily: "No! Even if I want to die, I am willing to die here with my eldest brother and these brothers, and I will not go anywhere! Don't think about it...... Before he finished speaking, Di Yun was kicked to the ground by Li Jin.
