Chapter 118: Dangerous Moves

Brand new equipment is being shipped from the armory. Xu Xi glanced at it with satisfaction, and the barracks were already in full swing.

After the previous words, plus a few words from Zhushu, I finally moved several commanders and decided to obey the order. It feels like child's play, but after all, it's just a game.

Just as players are not proficient in understanding the battle formations and tactics of cold weapon warfare, war mainly relies on the player's will, courage, and wisdom, rather than relying on the knowledge and understanding of cold weapon war tactics. No matter how stupid the game company is, it won't use this to make it difficult for players.

Xu Xi himself was a little enthusiastic when he said that, but now that he thought about it, he was a little curious, and asked what Zhushu said to the five commanders. Zhushu just stared leisurely into the distance and said leisurely: "I told them that those who disobey orders will be beheaded for public display is just a trivial matter, and in Zhenbei District in front of the emperor, their future will be ruined." ”

Xu Xi was stunned, suddenly realized, and then smiled bitterly. He also thought that his words had an effect, but it turned out that it was a concise and concise sentence in the bamboo book that moved these guys.

He has the secret agent waist card given by Ye Gucheng, the appointment of the small soldier department, and the appointment letter has the big seal of the king of Zhenbei. That is to say, when he entered the barracks, the momentum was already achieved, as long as he overwhelmed people with his power, the five commanders had only one way to obey orders.

Unexpectedly, a sentence is not as sharp as a sentence from Zhushu, Xu Xi smiled bitterly, he is really not a person who can manage people.

Even though Xu Xi had the right to directly command the 30,000 troops, he would not dare to transfer them all under any circumstances. The reason is very simple, the role of the army of the six guards is to guard the north city of Zhenbei, once they are all transferred, the north city of Zhenbei will be completely empty.

Therefore, after thinking about it again, Xu Xi decided to only take away more than 5,000 people from Yiwei. It happened that Zhou Huai'an, one of the commanders of the guard, was killed, and one of the guards was lacking a commander, so Xu Xi simply ordered this guard - such a coincidence, Xu Xi suspected that it was a systematic arrangement.

Xu Xi must admit that he is not good at defending the city, in fact, the technical content of defending the city is much higher than that of field battles. Even in the world, it is impossible to find a player who really understands the tactics of cold weapon defense warfare.

So, in fact, no player is good at defending the city. However, fortunately, most of the time, the Forbidden Dynasty, as the largest empire in the world, is usually on the offensive, so the impact on Dongtu players is not too great.

If you really encounter the situation of defending the city, there will naturally be the adjutant general of the army to remind the main general of what are the ways to defend the city. As for the order and timing, it is still up to the player to grasp.

Seriously, Xu Xi has never guarded the city. His natural desire for freedom and freedom like the wind influenced his preferences, making his preference for cavalry far more than anything else.

Even, his preference for cavalry affected the Shenzhou Army, and the influence of the Shenzhou Army expanded to other players in Dongtu. Therefore, everyone in the game aims to become a cavalry commander.

Unfortunately, though, not every player can become a cavalry commander. To a large extent, the evaluation of the system will determine which classes the player can get assigned. This is especially evident in military posts with more than 1,000 households.

The division of arms in the Forbidden Dynasty is still quite detailed, in terms of infantry, there are mixed infantry arms, and there are spearmen and the like. The most advanced of the infantry is actually not the hoplite, it is the Tianwu Army in the Beijing camp, the equipment of the Tianwu Army is the best, it is made of the best raw materials, and everyone has 3A-level strength. However, with the strength of the Forbidden Dynasty, there are only 5,000 people.

According to the role and degree of elite, cavalry is roughly divided into Liuyun cavalry and (elite) cavalry, Xuanjia cavalry, Huoyun cavalry and purple gold cavalry, etc. However, the infantry has the Tianwu Army, and the cavalry also has a Longwu Army. The Longwu Army is also well-deserved as the strongest cavalry in the Eastern Territory, subordinate to the Beijing camp, whether it is war horses or other equipment, they are the best, and they are all above 3A.

When a player participates in a war as an ordinary soldier, the system will automatically evaluate the player, and then randomly assign the player to the garrisons in various places - of course, players do not need to move with the army except during the war, and can roam the rivers and lakes on their own.

It's not that there are no players who can join the Dragon Martial Army or the Tianwu Army, but unfortunately, after every big battle, players in the two armies are immediately transferred as soon as they are promoted to one hundred households. Therefore, no one has commanded the two armies of Longwu and Tianwu so far.

However, it can be imagined. The combat effectiveness of the two armies of Longwu and Tianwu on the battlefield, the best equipment and the best quality of soldiers, and the best deputy generals, etc., if they appear on the battlefield, it will definitely be a very terrifying combat effectiveness.

Players are promoted on the battlefield, and if they are in a mixed service, they only need to be promoted to 100 households, and the system can assign players to command good or bad services. Once you reach 1,000 households, you will definitely be able to command different branches of the military. However, players do not have the right to choose, and the system will take into account the player's command record and other aspects to give a final evaluation.

This rating will determine which class the player can choose. If the evaluation is not high, the number of troops that can be selected is bound to be few and poor. If the evaluation is extremely high, then there is a lot of choice.

After the repeated battles of the Shenzhou Army that year, it received the highest evaluation, so it was also systematically evaluated as the player's first army. Of course, Xu Xi and Xiao Xiao chose Liuyun Riding and so on after the total, not because there was no choice, but because Xu Xi was better at this kind of rapid offensive and defensive combat methods.

Xu Xi did not hesitate to choose cavalry, the type of army he is best at. However, this Zhenbei army was responsible for guarding the town, and the number of cavalry was not large. Xu Xi had to order as the commander of the capital to transfer the other cavalry under his command as much as possible.

Two thousand clouds ride, three thousand sharp rides! This is what Xu Xi finally gets.

That's not enough, though!

Xu Xi summoned five commanders to hold a military meeting in the room, and Zhushu was listening, she was very curious about what Xu Xi would say.

The big, detailed sand table was in the house, Xu Xi contemplated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Zhenbei City is the former royal city of the Huns, this city is of great significance to them, and the goal of the Huns must be Zhenbei City." ”

The reason why Xu Xi dared to assert this was mainly because he was basically sure that this Hun attack was not planned by other server players, but a special task.

If there were players on the opposite side, Xu Xi would never be so ticketed. Because other players will speculate on the minds of Dongtu players, you think that the Huns will seize the north of the town, and people really don't do it.

"So I only took one guard cavalry to the battle, that is, I hope you will lead the rest of the five guards army to defend the north city of Zhenbei." Xu Xi groaned: "The bandits incarnated by the Huns near the north of the town, you must eradicate them. ”

Xu Xi was a little helpless, but he didn't know what kind of agreement Cao Shaoqing reached with the Huns, if he knew the details, it would be much easier.

"Once the Huns come, I have only one request, hold on to it at all costs, and never go out of the city to meet the battle." Xu Xi Senran's gaze swept over the five people, he was really worried that some of them would go out of the city to fight, in that case, it might lead to the destruction of Zhenbei City.

The five of them agreed, and Xu Xi's eyes slowly moved on the sand table, rubbing his temples in distress. The national border in the north is too long, and it will really be easy for the Huns to break through with points: "There is another point, I will never ask for help, even if all of them are killed in battle, I will never ask for help." So, if anyone comes to me for help, you know what to do. ”

Zhushu was dumbfounded and looked at Xu Xi blankly. Don't ask for help? 5,000 people took the initiative to meet the unknown number of Hun troops, but they never asked for help?

Of course, Xu Xi has his own reasons, his purpose is not to go head-to-head with the Hun army, so five thousand people should be more than enough. If you have other needs, you can go to other places to ask for help, instead of coming to Zhenbei City and diluting the troops here.

Frankly speaking, Xu Xi still can't figure out the purpose of the Xiongnu invasion, and since he can't think of the other party's purpose, naturally some things are difficult to arrange. Besides, he wasn't a defensive guy in the first place.

Xu Xichang sighed, if it was in the war, it would be good if it was still the Shenzhou Army. You don't have to defend, you don't have to worry about anything else, just attack and attack. This is the only thing the Shenzhou Army has done since its formation, and it is also what it has always insisted on doing, and it has done the most beautiful thing.

Xu Xi explained some more details, and did not mention anything else. Anyway, these people are all middle- and high-ranking generals, and there are some things that they know much better than him.

Deciding everything as quickly as possible, Xu Xi looked at the bamboo book and showed an excited smile: "Let's go!" ”

"We're on the march!"

******

Five thousand, to be exact, five thousand six hundred and fifty men are finally on the road!

5,600 people is the full number of the first guard army, and 50 people is the total number of the two guards of Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei.

With enough equipment and three days of food and grass, I set off from Zhenbei City and rushed in the direction of Beisu City!

Along the way, Xu Xi did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, and he couldn't hide it anyway. In the name of rescuing Kitajuku Castle, he galloped westward.

Five hundred Liuyun Cavalry were released as scout horses, and they continued to reconnoiter around the army, bringing a steady stream of news. Some are valuable, others are meaningless.

After this march, Xu Xi and Zhushu became more and more familiar, and they felt that chatting with each other or anything else was quite speculative.

During the war, storage rings are disabled and communication functions are disabled.

Therefore, Xu Xi and Zhushu had already taken out all the things they could use and put them in their baggage. Xu Xi's Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick was quite heavy, but fortunately, as the commander of this cavalry, his horse was quite good, and he couldn't see anything difficult.

Xu Xi was depressed, and after a while, with his 3A-level, equivalent to S-level internal strength, he couldn't support the use of the golden hoop rod for too long, at best, he could only support it for three or five minutes, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, three or five minutes is just an embarrassing time in a war, but if it is in a battle between rivers and lakes, these three or five minutes are enough to be fatal. However, just the A-level golden hoop stick is like this, if it is changed to a 3A-level, Xu Xi estimates that he will only have to lie down after a few swings.

"I wonder if the 3S-level golden hoop rod will really weigh 13,000 catties......" Xu Xi muttered blankly, if it really has such a terrifying weight, who can still hold it.

Zhushu walked over leisurely and said with a smile: "Are you thinking about the golden hoop stick again?" Anyway, it's a top-level divine weapon, and it's such a special weapon, you should be happy. ”

Xu Xi smiled helplessly, and after a half-day march, it was time to rest and eat. The location he was in was a small mountain bag in the grassland, and from the mountain bag, the shadow of some flowing clouds riding on a distant reconnaissance could be faintly seen.

Zhushu stared at the sky: "Do you guess it will snow?" ”

This place is already the extreme north of the eastern soil, and in reality, it is actually the Mongolian generation. Xu Xi has a lot of experience in leading troops, and if he pays attention to geography, he will naturally pay attention to the weather.

The north end of the East Earth Pole is the Beidian Continent (European Service), and the climate in Zhenbei District is much more abnormal than that of the Central Plains, and the temperature between day and night is very different. Autumn weather can be unpredictable, sometimes it can suddenly become extremely cold, and sometimes it even snows. Once it enters November, it is winter, and it is a long-term cold and freezing, with snow almost every day.

The sun is blazing at noon at this moment, and it may drop below zero in the evening. To march and fight in Zhenbei District, you really need to have a few more eyes and think about it.

While chatting with Zhushu, a little eunuch from Dongchang ran up with a cigarette of freshly heated food, and served him very thoughtfully: "General, Miss Zhu, please eat!" ”

The little eunuch's name is Xiao Senzi, who is only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is extremely clever, and he tries his best to serve Xu Xi and Zhushu along the way, giving the two of them the illusion of being uncles.

Xu Xi and Zhushu laughed dumbly, and while eating, Zhushu remembered something and said, "Have you noticed the roster of middle and lower-level officers in this army?" I saw that one of the teams was called Meng Tian! ”

Xu Xi was surprised: "That Meng Tian? Zhushu nodded.

Meng Tian, that's a generation of famous generals. Meng Tian's Laozi Meng Wu is serving as a commander in other defense areas, why is Meng Tian doing a small team here?

After eating, Xiao Senzi obediently handed over a towel to the two to wipe their hands and faces, and then ran away again.

Xu Xi noticed that Zhushu rarely sat down, and it was just a small detail in the process of martial arts training. However, it can also reflect Zhushu's comprehension of games. The more you stand, the more you stride, in fact, it is extremely helpful for the player to stabilize the game. It's just that there are still very few who can do these details well.

Is Bamboo Book an old player? Xu Xi groaned, spread the map on the ground, and patiently scanned every border point on the map. The destination of this march was of course not Beijuku, and the march to Beisu was just to hide people's eyes.

"The offensive of the Xiongnu army in Beisu added up to less than 2,000 from the first day, and it increased day after day until it ...... two days ago" This time it is a joint venture with Dongchang, naturally with all the intelligence support of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Xu Xi also unceremoniously collected a lot of information about this: "Two days ago, the Xiongnu army gathered in Beisu has reached 12,000, a total of four shares. ”

It is undeniable that the overall level of cavalry of the Forbidden Dynasty is still lower than that of the Huns. In the field battle on the grassland, it is impossible to take advantage of the same number of head-to-head battles. The supreme commander of the Beisu generation was Yuan Chonghuan, who was forbearant and would not make the decision to fight a decisive battle in the field of the Xiongnu.

However, the problem in front of Xu Xi and Zhu Shu is also quite obvious. According to the investigation of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the remnants of the Xiongnu basically retreated to the junction of Dongtu and Beidian. The Zhenbei army pursued and killed the border several times, but the Huns retreated to Beidian en masse.

All the information indicates that the total number of the Huns has fallen from about 30 million at its peak a few years ago to less than 800,000. From this, Xu Xi believed that if the Huns were to exert their strength, they might be able to form an army of up to 100,000 people, which was definitely a number of deaths.

Under normal circumstances, the armed forces that the Huns still possess at this time will definitely not exceed 50,000. Xu Xi flicked his head and said, "Let's say it's 50,000, and a quarter of them are attacking Beisu, isn't this a little weird?" ”

Zhushu's eyes flashed on the side, revealing a hint of wisdom: "Yuan Chonghuan, be forbearant and guarding, the Huns should know." ”

Xu Xi's finger strength increased suddenly, and his head hurt, but he didn't care, but he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment: "Yes, Yuan Chonghuan is good at guarding, and the Huns should know." If you really want to invade Zhenbei, you will definitely not choose Beisu as a breakthrough point. The best choice should be the hot-tempered Luo Yi! ”

If the Huns launched an attack on Luo Yi's town guard, in Luo Yi's style, they would definitely not defend to the death, and would definitely react and counterattack, and even fight a decisive battle in the field. With Luo Yi's bravery, if the number is superior, the Huns may not be able to take advantage - the Forbidden Dynasty still has some generals who are good at leading cavalry, such as Luo Yi, such as Chen Qingzhi, who is known as the first to ride against the east, and Huo Quzhi, who is known as the first to ride on the east.

"So, can we conclude that the Huns don't necessarily want to attack Beisu, but want to attract something, so they choose Yuan Chonghuan, who is stable and will not go out of the city for a decisive battle." Xu Xi's fingertips flicked quickly, his thoughts turned faster, and he muttered to himself: "What do you want to attract with a quarter of your troops?" It must be very important. ”

"What are the terms of Cao Shaoqing's collusion with the Huns? Why did Li Canghai say that the troops invaded the north of the town? Xu Xi quickly organized all the clues, stared at the bamboo book, and said word by word very cautiously: "Someone wants to let the Huns enter the customs!" ”

The battle in Beisu attracted the attention of the Zhenbei army, and took the opportunity to test whether Cao Shaoqing fulfilled his promise and whether anyone could mobilize the armies from all over the country. At the same time, if a senior general in the Zhenbei Army quietly puts the Huns into the pass, he can launch an attack on Zhenbei City without knowing it.

Yuan Chonghuan and others all commanded envoys, guarding the border passes and blocking key roads, while the commanders led the envoys to sit in the rear a little behind. If one of the checkpoints is released into the pass, with the Huns' familiarity with the grassland, they may not have the opportunity to find a hidden route to the north of the town.

Xu Xi's guess undoubtedly frightened Zhushu, and his face changed several times: "Then who do you think Nei Ying will be?" ”

The first thing Xu Xi thought of was Hou Junji, who had rebelled in history, this person had a historical stain and was the most suspicious. However, Xu Xi almost immediately vetoed it. The reason is very simple, he knows the bottom line and rules of the system task, and the system will indirectly and covertly give clues in the process of the task, but will not give clues again and again.

And the whole thing is up to now, and all the clues are enough. Hou Junji is clearly suspicious, and it is almost impossible for the system to give such obvious clues. On the contrary, the biggest possibility is that the system wants to mislead players with Hou Junji, and the game planner will definitely do this kind of thing. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why Hou Junji happens to be one of the commanders of the capital!

Even if you use the battle in Kitajuku to attract attention, then the opposite direction from Kitajuku is the most hidden route. Xu Xi patiently observed the map, Beisu was close to the northwest, so the main attack of the Huns should be to the northeast.

The Huns now mainly rely on the desert and ice and snow to block the attack of the eastern soil, so the desert ......

Xu Xi looked along the other side of the desert, and if he broke through to the pass from the other side of the desert, he could rush to the north of the town from the slope very quickly. Seeing this, he couldn't help but change color with the bamboo book: "Beisha City, Mengwu!" ”

******

Snow at night!

The Zhenbei Army was well-trained and strictly managed, and 5,000 people rushed overnight without making too much noise. Xu Xixu is satisfied, if the Shenzhou Army is reorganized, it will have to reach at least this level.

Xu Xi and Zhushu silently boosted the morale of the soldiers halfway, so that every soldier could see that the commander was facing difficulties with them as much as possible. It's a great way to boost morale.

"It will take about forty hours to get to Beisha City!" Zhushu pondered for a while, and smiled helplessly at Xu Xi: "I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up!" ”

"Our destination is not Beisha City!" Xu Xi watched the soldiers continue to move forward, and when he saw that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, he ordered the deputy general to let all the soldiers prepare to put on white coats. Only then did he turn his face to look at the bamboo book, and pointed to the northeast: "It's Xibaguan!" ”

Zhushu remembered that Xiba Pass was one of the defensive passes of Beisha City, not the closest to Zhenbei City. I couldn't help but wonder: "Why not another pass?" ”

"Because Xibaguan is just outside the key exit of the desert, guarding the main road. As soon as you enter Xiba Pass, there are high mountains and forests, etc., which is the only pass with high concealment among the several major passes in Beisha. Xu Xi said with a deep smile: "Moreover, if you look closely at the map, you will find that from Xibaguan to Zhenbei City, there is no obstacle along the way, and it is better to rush at a straight speed." ”

"It is very important to note that Jinyiwei's geographical file mentions that there is a hidden path from Xiba Pass, which can avoid the city behind Xiba Pass." Xu Xi squinted his eyes and waved forward to the soldiers, and when he saw that he was almost at the end of the team, he rode forward and said: "It is very important to avoid the reconnaissance of these two cities, only in this way can you reach Zhenbei City in the most concealed way." ”

"I hope to reach the vicinity of Xibaguan before dawn!" Xu Xi's eyes looked ambitious and impassioned in the night.

"It's a pity that it's an NPC general, and I don't know that his character is like this, otherwise you can guess the character of the guard of Xiba Pass!" Zhushu sighed, and when she saw Xu Xi suddenly turn around and cast a light, she faintly felt speechless and shut up.

Xu Xi gave an order, and the soldiers took out white coats and robes from the war materials they carried with them, and put them on themselves and their horses. Immediately, the eyes turned into a piece of white mang, connecting with the ice and snow on the ground into a line!

The weather at night was actually very cold, with a light rain in the afternoon, strong winds and cold, and snow at night. At this time, the ground is condensed into white frost everywhere, and with the drifting snow, the sky and the earth will be more like a bright color. As a result, white coats cover men and horses to conceal their whereabouts to the greatest extent possible, which is a special tactic of snow warfare, and sometimes works wonders.

In fact, the failure to completely eradicate the Huns at the beginning was largely due to the fact that the original Forbidden Army was not familiar with the unique environment of the Far North and the corresponding combat tactics. However, over the past few years, since a large number of white shirts and white cloths have been prepared in the Zhenbei Armory, it is obvious that they have gradually become familiar with and apply the corresponding tactics.

Therefore, although it was the first time for Xu Xi to try to fight in a cold environment, under the leadership of a lieutenant general who was familiar with tactics, he was not stumped by this unique environment.

Seeing this, Xu Xi's heart moved, perhaps the reason why the Huns chose to invade Zhenbei City in this changing climate from October to November was because the Huns had a deeper understanding of the grassland climate and were more familiar with the mode of grassland warfare.

In such weather, any army will be somewhat slack. If the Huns guessed the change in weather, did it mean that they would choose to raid in such a climate, or even march in a hurry?

Xu Xi chuckled, waved his hand and called the deputy general: "Pass the order, let another three hundred Liuyun ride out, double the reconnaissance range, be careful." ”

Xu Xi didn't know if it was too late to rush to Xiba Pass, but he was absolutely convinced that if there was no accident, the Huns should have entered the pass from Xiba Pass, and it should be within one or two days. It was not possible to expand the scope of reconnaissance, and Xu Xi didn't want to have an unprepared encounter halfway.

Meng Tian, who was handsome and looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, was already quite tall, and when he guessed that the Huns would break through from the Mongolian defense area, Xu Xi transferred the young Meng Tian to his side. At this time, the silent young man obviously guessed something: "My lord, is the direction of the army Xibaguan?" ”

Xu Xi smiled but didn't answer, and Meng Tian said proudly and confidently: "My lord must be in a dilemma, how to conquer Xiba Pass?" If you can trust it, please send your subordinates, and your subordinates will fight to the death! to confirm that the father had nothing to do with the matter. ”

The little boy has such courage and courage that he can't complain that Meng Tian in history has become a generation of famous generals.

Xu Xi still has a hard time believing that Meng Wu will be a traitor, and it is more likely that the Xiba guard will be a traitor. After pondering for a moment, seeing that Meng Tian seemed to be quite a general, he sighed in his heart: "Okay, I'll approve it, if you can't take it, I will punish you!" ”

"Meng Tian can set up a military order!" Meng Tian couldn't wait to pat his chest to show his determination.

Meng Tian said well, Xu Xi was indeed thinking about how to capture Xiba Pass. The premise is that if it is indeed the Xiba guard, the Huns will be released into the pass. Whether or not to conquer Xiba Pass was actually quite important, and it was related to whether the Huns' retreat route could be cut off - however, in the absence of being able to mobilize other large armies to encircle and annihilate it, Xu Xi was quite hesitant to cut off the retreat route.

In the retreat section, the Huns broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, and it was bound to break out with greater combat effectiveness and blood. The battles and losses will only be more painful. But if you don't cut off the retreat, you will inevitably lose an opportunity to beat the Huns.

The key thing is that you still can't mobilize the other commanders! Xu Xi sighed.

Naturally, the march all the way is not mentioned, and when it is almost dawn......

A horse galloped quietly in the distance, the horse's hooves were wrapped, and the sound of running seemed very light, but the feeling to Xu Xi was very urgent: "Report to your lordship, the Liuyun Riding scout found a trace of marching!" ”

Xu Xi was awe-inspiring, exchanged a look with Zhushu, and gave an order to the deputy general to stop the whole army temporarily and prepare for battle!

After giving the order, Xu Xi and Zhushu galloped forward, and led down to an oblique angle of about ten kilometers in front of the team. Several groups of scouts were focusing on reconnaissance nearby, Xu Xi came here, and the scout pointed to the ground and said, "My lord, you see that there are very shallow horseshoe footprints on the ground. ”

Xu Xi and Zhushu squatted down and watched carefully under the light of the torches. The scout simply removed the snow on the surface very lightly, and Xu Xi and Zhushu immediately saw the dense horseshoe prints, which looked extremely messy.

"My lord, judging from our experience, there are at least five thousand to eight thousand or so cavalry, about ......" The scout calculated, compared the thickness of the snow, and then calculated, and concluded: "Passed through this place about an hour and a half ago. ”

If the Xiongnu were not conquered before, you can also judge whether it is a Xiongnu horse by the horseshoe prints, but now the war horse in Zhenbei District is obviously no different from the Xiongnu horse.

Judging from the horseshoe prints on the ground, the queue of the other party is not very neat. The regular cavalry of the Forbidden Dynasty would mostly try to maintain a neat queue even when they were on the march, so judging by this, it was the most likely Hun cavalry.

"Pay attention to see if there is sand in the horseshoe prints, what kind of gravel it is!" Xu Xi is awe-inspiring, outside Xiba Pass is the Gobi Desert, if it is a Hun cavalry, there must be a trace of sand and gravel in the horse's palm, all the way down the march, there must be omissions in the snow.

"My lord, there is indeed sand!" The scouts followed the horseshoe prints along the way, and soon found a few tiny pieces of gravel.

It seems that it is indeed the Hun cavalry! Xu Xi and Zhushu smiled helplessly, they didn't expect to be one step too late, a crucial step.

The scouts followed the horse's hooves to where they came from and where they went, and soon news came that the horse's hooves were coming from a trail near Xibaguan. And the place to go is the direction of Zhenbei City. Moreover, the horseshoe prints were about thirty kilometers away, and they divided into four groups and headed towards the north of the town.

Divide the troops and attack together, there is a set! Xu Xi suddenly admired the game planner, or should be the task planner, and kneaded all kinds of coincidences together into a task. It happened to be snowing in the sky, and the Hun cavalry was hurrying on a snowy night, and two hours of snow was enough to cover all traces of the march. If Xu Xi hadn't arrived in time, maybe he would have been successfully raided.

If Xu Xi hadn't been careful enough and his brain was flexible enough, maybe he would have been misled by the clues deliberately revealed in the mission. If you really think it's waiting for the king to gather and rush there, as long as you delay for another two hours, it is estimated that you won't be able to catch up.

"What now?" Xu Xi pondered hard.

"I think it......" Zhushu got up and stretched his body, and his delicate posture was suddenly extremely attractive: "I think the top priority should be to grab Xiba Pass." Then, track down a Hun cavalry along the way and gather and annihilate it. ”

The bamboo book has a kind of Xiao Xiao-style killing and decisive temperament! Xu Xi glanced at her in surprise, and nodded resolutely: "Then divide the troops!" ”

After thinking about it, he called Meng Tian and explained in a deep voice: "Meng Tian, I will give you a chance to prove yourself, go with the army, and take down Xiba Pass." Before I lead my army to come, I must hold on to it! ”

Meng Tian's face turned red with excitement: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates swear to take the pass!" ”

Meng Tian was temporarily promoted to be the deputy of a thousand cavalry army, and ordered them to rush to take Xiba Pass at any cost. Xu Xi sent an order down and asked the whole army to turn around and chase after the Hun cavalry.

"Full speed ahead of the whole army!" Xu Xi ordered!

The scouts along the way kept reporting the news, and they were getting closer and closer to one of the Hun cavalry. With about ten kilometers left, which was also the largest reconnaissance range of the other party's scouts on the tail, Xu Xi ordered the whole army to dismount and rest for a quarter of an hour.

"After a quarter of an hour, everyone will give me the best spirit and prepare for battle!"

(To be continued)
