Move, delay, forgive me.

-------

Let's say that Cao Yan was unforgiving, holding Fang Tian's halberd, showing his skills, beheading more than ten people in a row, and killing the personal guards who protected the general Hu Yanshi, especially if he didn't give up, he even wanted to track it all the way, but in the end it was still too much delay, even if he relied on the speed of the fire god's galloping feet, but he accidentally lost the trace of the enemy.

In fact, it is said that the grassland is not a good place to hide, although the water and grass are fertile, and the growth is high enough to cover ordinary cattle and sheep, but the horses run all the way, under the trampling, there will naturally be a road, not to mention the horseshoe stepping on this wet * soft ground, that is a mark, as long as you stand on a high place to see, it is conspicuous, but Hu Yanshi disappeared out of thin air, and there is no trace.

Cao Yan rode a horse and chased for a while, but even if he relied on the tracking method he learned from Shu and the desert in his early years, he still found nothing, and he expected that this person was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and was unable to move.

Thinking about Jiang is still old and spicy, Hu Yanshi is not only a good leader, but also has a lot of other skills.

Since he can't catch up, that's it, although Cao Yan feels very pity, but he will not be unbalanced because of this, he can make a contribution in a battle, and destroy the enemy general on the spot, which is a thing that can be encountered but not sought, this matter is rare since ancient times, and he can slaughter the 5,000 men and horses led by Hu Yanshi himself with a thousand untrained soldiers and horses, and his own battle losses are only more than 100 people, this is already a victory that can be used to brag about.

While others were cleaning up the battlefield, Cao Yan continued to look at the map in front of him and think quietly.

Cleaning the battlefield is one of the traditional habits of the Rakshasa clan, after all, there is a shortage of materials in the desert, like any weapon, the armor is first-class, in fact, they are all robbed, where do they have the ability to open a furnace and forge a sword.

Including the good horses that were lucky to survive the battle just now and were not injured, they were also merged together on the spot and let people take them away as follow-up replacements.

Although the three armies rotate, when the horses are tired after a long run, it naturally requires more horses to be used as substitutes at any time to gain more rest time, and the horses themselves are also a kind of emergency food in wartime.

Looking at the appearance of these people, just like the country bandits who have never seen the world, they first rip off the armor from the corpse, and then regardless of whether there is blood on it, they directly put it on their own body, anyway, they are just ordinary rattan armor, nothing more than a layer of slash-resistant skin on the outside of the cotton lining, even if they are tall and not as good as ordinary people, they can also be used.

Then it is to recover the arrows on the ground, this kind of thing is used as much as possible, at this time it is natural to try to recover as much as possible, including the quivers on the enemy's body, they also took them back.

However, this kind of embarrassing scene is not Cao Yan's turn to worry about, what he has to worry about is the general trend of the entire battle situation, and what they should do next and how to command.

Ihuasha silently walked up to him, and after a few breaths of silence, he couldn't help but praise him: "The general was really brave before, if it weren't for you, general, to break through the enemy formation, we are afraid that our casualties would have been even greater." ”

When Cao Yan heard this, he didn't even look back, but just said calmly: "Don't say more flattery, there will be a lot of trouble for you next." ”

There is no way, although these Rakshasa clans have admired him very much after this battle, but due to the problem of language communication, if there is no Ivasha on this road, it really can't work.

Ihuasha is no better than an ordinary woman, and she doesn't have to cover her mouth when she laughs, and she looks extremely bold.

"Wherever the general is, it's all my business. ”

Cao Yan shifted his gaze and ordered: "When they are cleaned up, they will quickly leave to rest." ”

Cao Yan divided the three thousand people into three, respectively responsible for the task of hunting and killing scouts, disrupting the line of sight, chasing and harassing, the three teams had a clear division of labor, took turns to fight, and left enough rest time for each other, although it seemed to be clever, in fact, there was no way.

There are too few people at your disposal, and naturally they are overstretched everywhere, and it is difficult to be satisfied.

Ihuasha suddenly said with some confusion: "Aren't we going to take advantage of the victory to pursue?"

Cao Yan carefully put away the map and put it close to him, before raising his head and explaining: "Where is there such a simple thing, you must know that our advantage is at night, not during the day, thinking that since Hu Yanshi still escaped back, it will naturally be more vigilant against us, the advantage is that in a short time, they will not leave in a hurry, and we still have plenty of time to rest." ”

The Rakshasa clan is in the night, it is a natural advantage, it is dark, it is difficult to be seen, and its eyesight is good, this comes and goes, it is definitely the best manpower used for sneak attacks at night.

Naturally, it is not necessary to attack the enemy's strengths with one's own shortcomings and attack the enemy's strengths, because then you will not be able to win.

Ihuasha nodded and said with a smile: "It's all up to the general." ”

She also knows that with her own ability, it is useless to worry about these, anyway, what Cao Yan says, what she does, not to mention that Cao Yan has already deeply impressed her, although she is mixed-race, but she grew up in the desert, Rakshasa women worship the strong, this is a complex engraved in her bones.

Cao Yan waved his hand and said, "Let's go first, go back and recuperate, we're busy tonight." ”

After all, they came out of Huangsha County, in order not to add too much burden to the other side, and did not bring much food to satisfy hunger, this time they robbed a baggage team, and brought back thousands of war horses, in a short period of time, there is no need to worry about food anyway.

Ihuasha turned back and instructed the large army to prepare for evacuation, and then skillfully divided the group into two parts, one to drive the horses and the other to take care of the aftermath.

After all, the land has just rained, it is very wet, and the traces of the march of the large army are very obvious, so driving the horses, it must be necessary for some people to come to the palace to eliminate the traces, although there are few times when they need to do this kind of thing in the desert, but it does not mean that they will not, you know, they are originally hunting and hijacking past merchants to gain a foothold.

-------------

On this side, Hu Yanshi was indeed smart, and after running not far, he directly abandoned the horse to escape, and gave the horse a knife on the buttocks, urging it to run all the way out, while he fled in the other direction on foot by himself.

Along the way, Hu Yanshi drilled into the deep grass, and all the way he was arranging traps and things that could confuse and interfere with the other party's judgment, so he ran until the night, and he was exhausted, and finally bumped into the person who came to search for him.

These 5,000 people, in the end, were still escaped, and after hurriedly returning to the large army, as soon as the situation was reported, the others were naturally anxious, worried about Yanshi's safety, and hurriedly sent people out to look for them along the way, but they were afraid of being ambushed by the terrible enemy, and the whole search process was carried out extremely carefully, and the people of each unit did not dare to leave each other too far, which led to an extremely slow speed, and it was not until night that he was finally found.

When Hu Yanshi was rescued back into the tent, he had almost collapsed and couldn't move.

The most pitiful thing is that there is no doctor in the army, but the arrow can not be taken away, and finally let a guard with a steady hand come, first burn red on the fire with a knife, squirt a sip of wine, and then cut the meat, carefully take the arrow out of the bone crack, the whole process is shocking, Rao is Hu Yanshi such an iron-clad man, he was also fainted in pain, of course, this is also because his mind and body have been overdrawn.

After taking out the arrow, he sprinkled medicine, sewed the wound with needles and threads, and finally tied it with bandages, before it was counted, but after all, he was not a person who often dealt with needlework, this technique was rough, and looking at the bloody appearance, I was afraid that it was not much better than not threading.

After that, Hu Yanshi has been in a coma, no way, no matter how strong his body is, he has an arrow on his shoulder, and he has to run all day, and he has to set traps everywhere, work hard, and then cut his flesh to heal his wounds, it really can't hold on.

But even if he works so hard, whether he can survive or not depends on his own creation, but even if he survives, this shoulder is probably useless.

What's even more worrying is that whether these more than 40,000 horses can resist Cao Yan's onslaught is still a question.

Without the backbone of Hu Yanshi to give orders, the whole team almost fell into stagnation, even if they knew that the front line was tight and their side must arrive as soon as possible, but there was no way, the coach personally attacked, and the result was that they were seriously injured and returned, who would dare to leave at this time?

The day passed quickly, and at night, Cao Yan's soldiers and horses continued to go out, galloping around all night, picking formations one after another, he knew that he did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he never fought head-on with the other party, relying on the foot strength of the cavalry, as well as the advantage of the Rakshasa clan in the night, first shoot arrows from afar, and then look for opportunities, anyway, as long as they take advantage, they will retreat at the touch of a button, without greed, and never give the other party a chance to entangle themselves and others.

In this way, as soon as the enemy rests, he will bring people over, as soon as the enemy wants to chase, he will run immediately, the enemy wants to run, he will in turn chase, so that several people and horses are all soldiers, even the rest is not good, everyone is in a hurry with a tired look, and most of the people on the road will be dispersed in advance, as a scout parade, but Cao Yan is like a monkey in the mountains, will never give you a chance to see him, but often you don't pay attention, he immediately runs over and gnaws a bite of meat from you.

In fact, this kind of combat method itself gives full play to the Rakshasa clan's strengths, and what they are powerful is to swim, not to attack, harass everywhere, fight the autumn wind, and take advantage of it.

And here, there is no way to take Cao Yan anyway, it can be said that unless Hu Yanshi wakes up, there is no one here who can keep up with Cao Yan with tactical thinking, no wonder he is arrogant, and he is bent on overpowering people like Xie Houyin, he really has real skills.
