A thousand miles away!

If Lou Ban knew this idiom now, he would definitely feel unusually clear and painful about its meaning.

After choosing to flee in the first battle with Li Yuan, Lou Ban's original plan was to lead the team to pick up those remnants, and then retreat back to the area controlled by the Wuheng tribe safely, and then find a way to justify his life-saving escape in the tribe. But it's a pity that Lou Ban still has too little experience, and at the same time, he also underestimated the power of Li Yuan, a slightly disguised cross-river dragon.

After the battlefield collapsed and retreated, the surviving cavalry of Wuheng's headquarters this time were immediately dispersed by Li Yuan's team, and then faced the cavalry led by Li Yuan to chase and kill all the way, Lou Ban didn't think about what to gather the remnants to alleviate the losses, and he who led the team to escape was almost driven by Li Yuan to run away frantically. As for picking up the wreckage? It's a pity that the idea was strangled almost immediately!

As a result, Lou Ban and several of his generals and more than 500 cronies and subordinates were pursued and killed by Li Yuan's troops all the way, and more than ten days were spent in uninterrupted pursuit and escape.

"Lesser headers! It's almost time to get to Liucheng!"

"Hold on a little!" ……

When Lou Lai's cronies, who were already less than 100 people and tired to death and didn't know how many horses, hugged Lou Lai and saw the familiar vicinity of Liucheng, he burst into tears directly.

It's a pity that, compared to those personal guards who were arranged by his father Qiu Liju and loyal, and who had less than 100 people left in the way of gecko tail breaking and scattering to attract pursuers along the way, Lou Ban himself looked at the familiar grasslands and hills with a haggard face, and his heart could be called a mixture.

This big defeat, maybe Qiu Liju's face can barely suppress it, but Lou Ban's own ambition obviously doesn't need to think about anything, let's think about how to face the Han army behind that is like a cone of bones......

"Let's hurry back to Liucheng! Tell the elders of the tribe that the Han army has chased after you!"

A few minutes passed. Lou Ban, who came to his senses, looked at the cavalry of the hundred-person Wuheng headquarters who came from the direction of Liucheng, and said with an extremely bitter voice.

Listening to Lou Ban's words, the guards who were still a little excited and relaxed shuddered, recalling the Han cavalry and traitors (the cavalry pointing to the red flag) who were biting them to death, as well as the fiasco of the young men who followed them, and the guards of Lou Ban were no longer happy. Some of them were dejected and Lou Ban joined the Wuheng cavalry who came to check the situation, and then quickly went to Liucheng, the base camp of the Wuheng tribe......

……

At the same time, it was located about thirty kilometers behind Lou Ban.

About 5,000 cavalrymen are repairing in a pasture outside the tribe, and the 1,000 cuirassiers, more than 1,000 cavalry of the original Han army, and 3,000 Zhenghongqi cavalry are in a formation ready to fight, and they begin to adjust before the battle and eat food such as freshly roasted cows, sheep, and goat's milk.

Compared with the embarrassed Lou Ban, these cavalrymen who have been pursuing for more than ten days are in high spirits, and they are stimulated by a big victory and the benefits of chasing the enemy all the way. While boasting about his bravery and combat experience with his companions, he looked at the Chinese camp guarded by cuirassiers with slightly gossipy eyes.

"Yuan, aren't we just following in a hurry?"

In a special tent specially set up, Estes looked at Li Yuan, who was being served by the poison island, and cut the lamb chops with the knife and fork in his hand with some unhappiness, and asked.

"Xiao Ai, don't be in such a hurry, Wuheng tribe's words. It seems that there is still some strength and hole cards, and when they are ready. Destroy them in one fell swoop!"

Listening to Estes's words, Li Yuan didn't have an angry expression, and comforted Estes with a smile on his face.

In the more than ten days of chase battle that just happened, the Red Banner Cavalry led by Estes and Poison Island Tsuneko, but they have been following Li Yuan behind to collect the soldiers who have straggled, clean up those diehards of the Wuheng affiliated tribes, and send people to directly occupy their pastures, livestock and Dingkou - for the Super S Queen, these tedious things of course make her very unhappy!

Compared with. Facing Li Yuan, who killed the strongest Lou Lai and the 1,000 Wu Heng Jing Riders, and played more than ten games of playing rats and mice, if Li Yuan was not her man and his strength was strong enough, Super S Queen Estes would have already gone to harvest Lou Ban and the others by herself, instead of under Li Yuan's advice and the balance on the side of Poison Island Tsuiko. Patiently, he turned those hard-nosed diehards into ice sculptures to deter those who surrendered to the small and medium-sized tribes of Wuheng.

"Yuan, if you say about the Wuheng tribe, is there still a strong person at the rank of captain?"

Similarly, hearing Li Yuan's words, while serving Li Yuan, the poison island gentleman who had just served Li Yuan, asked with some curiosity.

It is said that in the more than three months that they have entered the world of "Dynasty Warriors", both Poison Island and Estes have led troops to sweep the grassland and the bandits in Ueya County and Dai County.

It can be said that Poison Island and Estes are not very satisfied with most of their opponents, among them, those ordinary cavalry and bandits don't need to mention anything, and the elite cavalry, bandit elites and leaders who have conceived internal qi are not the opponents they care about, and what can be seen a little bit is the strong generals who are separated from the body, but these generals of the Star Empire's sergeant rank are at most a pastime for Poison Island Tsuneko and Estes, far inferior to the real captain-level powerhouses!

"Hmmm! It is certain that Qiu Liju of the Wuheng tribe is indeed a top military general at the level of Qi Chenggang! Otherwise, he wouldn't have the courage to make a ghost with that rebellious guy who claimed to be the emperor, and now he is still fighting with Gongsun Zhan in Guanzi City, and the well-known leaders of other nomads are estimated to be either at the peak of internal qi separation from the body or at the level of cultivating qi Chenggang......"

Regarding the inquiry of Poison Island Tsuinko and Estes, Li Yuan said with a little sigh and excitement.

If it is said that before, Li Yuan could not determine the situation of the military generals at the level of Qi Cultivation Chenggang, but now it is certain that those military generals who left a great reputation in the Three Kingdoms Era must be at the level of Qi Cultivation Chenggang, or the current situation where the internal qi is at the peak of the body but can definitely be promoted to the level of Qi Cultivation Chenggang.

Cause? From the memory of the military general named Lou Lai, Li Yuan, who killed him and gave his soul to the Sage Stone by the way, learned a lot of information on the grassland, especially the first person of the Wuheng tribe, the head Qiu Liju and a lot of information about the Wuheng tribe, for Lou Lai, the first warrior of the Wuheng tribe. This is not information that needs to be kept secret, and now it is a cheap Li Yuan.

And from Lou Lai's memory, Li Yuan was a little pleasantly surprised to find that this old man Qiu Liju was a military general who had reached the level of Qi Training, which was equivalent to stepping into the rank of a lieutenant of the Star Empire!

"However, now that Qiu Liju should be fighting with Gongsun Zhan. Are there any other powerhouses in the Wuheng tribe who are at the level of Qi Cultivation Chenggang?"

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Poison Island Tsuiko, who had a hint of warlike intent flashing in his eyes, asked with some suspicion.

Practicing Qi Chenggang, even in the Han Dynasty, it will not be a big road, according to the situation that you can be a medium-sized tribal leader on the grassland with your internal qi separated from your body, there are still top generals in the Wuheng tribe who practice Qi Chenggang?

"There is no martial general who has trained Qi Chenggang! However, the Wuheng tribe still points the hole cards......"

……

Several elders of the Liucheng, Badun and Wuheng tribes saw Lou Ban, who had only been on the expedition for more than a month, and ran back in embarrassment.

than when I went on the expedition. The arrogant Lou Ban who didn't seem to pay attention to anything now after a life-and-death chase is much haggard compared to before, but the temperament of the whole person seems to have changed.

However, for the elders of the Bangdun and Wuheng tribes, they are not the sons of Qiu Liju's Lou Ban, and they don't care much about the changes in Lou Ban's mental outlook, and even if they were hindered by Qiu Liju's face before. Elder Wu Heng, who supported Lou Ban, now heard Lou Ban's words. I have the idea of strangling the building class!

"A thousand Wuheng elite cavalry wiped out? Lou Lai is also dead???"

After listening to Lou Ban explain the situation in dry words, an elder Wu Heng wearing a silk robe shouted at Lou Ban with a hideous face, as if he was going to eat Lou Ban alive directly.

- Well, Badun and the other elders can understand his feelings, because the Wuheng Jingqi can be described as the elite of the elite of the Wuheng tribe, and the entire Wuheng tribe with a population of about one million together with the slaves and the affiliated tribes. can't make up 10,000 Wuheng elite horses, and 1,000 Wuheng elite horses are all the elite horses guarding Liucheng, the base camp of the Wuheng tribe, not to mention the first warrior Lou who died, is the most proud son of the elder of the Wuheng tribe!

The fact that the most outstanding heir had died instantly made this Elder Wuheng, who was originally Qiu Liju's confidant, lose his temper. even roared directly at Lou Ban.

"More than that! And five thousand cavalry and five thousand commanders!"

"There are also thousands of cavalry of those affiliated tribes that died, and now I don't know if those affiliated tribes will directly join the rising Eight Banners tribe!"

"A wizard is dead! There are also two witches whose deaths are unknown......" ......

Not only that elder, but also several other Wuheng elders looked at Lou Ban with very unkind eyes.

The loss caused by the defeat of Lou Ban is too great!

The cavalry of the affiliated tribes is easy to say, the small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland are basically like that, as long as the Wuheng tribe remains strong, even if these affiliated tribes suffer heavy losses, as long as they are given a little sweetness, they can still be obedient, and it is just that those affiliated tribes will be the grass on the wall for a period of time.

However, the loss or whereabouts of 1,000 Wuheng elite cavalry, 5,000 headquarters cavalry and three wizards who went out to fight are unknown, and this loss makes Qiu Liju, the leader of the Wuheng tribe, feel painful. After all, for the Wuheng tribe, which is only 300,000 dingkou in the headquarters, this is equivalent to the loss of almost two-tenths of the combat power, and even a few years may not be able to breathe, and the loss brought by Lou Ban directly made several Wuheng elders turn from neutral and close to each other into a hostile attitude.

After all, for these elders, their juniors and close herdsmen in the headquarters are among the cavalry of the headquarters, and now they are following the Lou Ban to make a fortune and reap the benefits, and after being lost by the Lou Ban all of a sudden, it is strange that they can still have a good face for the Lou Ban!

"Elders, please calm your anger for a moment!"

Seeing that a few elders who didn't pay much attention to themselves in the past are now spraying Lou Ban wildly, Bang Dun didn't have a trace of pride or joy, but whispered to a few elders, and after seeing that several elders temporarily calmed down their anger, they turned their heads and looked at Lou Ban very seriously, and said word by word: "Lou Ban young man, are you sure that there is a Han army chasing and killing you with that Eight Banners tribe." Didn't it stop until it was outside the confines of Liucheng?"

Although for Bunton, he had wanted to take the place of Lou Banna's position as the heir of the Wuheng tribe who had been designated by Qiu Liju's prestige, and now it seemed like a good time. But what he understands is that the most important problem he faces now is not to deal with Lou Ban, but to determine the important message in his words!

I heard that Bundun is the best in the Wuheng tribe, but unfortunately because of Qiu Liju. And the candidate for the heir of the tribe second only to Lou Ban spoke, and the elders of the Wuheng tribe also looked at Lou Ban with a cautious expression.

Han Army?!

Even Qiu Liju, the current leader of the Wuheng tribe, did not dare to take the seemingly declining Han Dynasty lightly.

If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Uprising, which made Qiu Liju and other high-ranking members of the Wuheng tribe see the weak side of the Han Dynasty and reap the benefits of N, even Qiu Liju would not dare to raise the rebel flag with the rebellion of the Han Dynasty who claimed to be the emperor.

Now that he heard Badun's question, several elders of the Wuheng tribe put down the surging and abnormal anger just now, and stared at Lou Ban to see if he would say the terrifying news that the Han army, which had caused the collapse of the Xiongnu, the overlord of the grassland, to reappear on the grassland!

"Yes! At least two thousand Han cavalry. Under the leadership of a captain who protects the Huns, he killed Lou Lai and a thousand elite cavalry, and now he and the Eight Banners tribe have been killed on the edge of Liucheng......"

Watching everyone in the tribe look at him, Lou Ban gritted his teeth and said the news that had become his nightmare.

It seemed to be the confirmation of Lou Ban's information, Lou Ban had just confirmed the information he had seen with his own eyes, and before the other elders and Badun could ask, they saw a Wuheng general rushing into this somewhat crude hall, and reported with a hint of panic: "Elder! Less heads! The Great Wizard's Condor has just been discovered. A hundred miles away from Liucheng, a cavalry of more than 5,000 people had already approached. It's the Han army and the cavalry under the banner of the Red Banner of the Eight Banners Army!"

"How is that possible?!"

"The Han army is really out of the jam?! I still came to Liucheng?!!"

"Damn!" ……

Hearing the words of the Wuheng general who rushed in, several elders couldn't help but be shocked, and there was also a trace of fear and uneasiness in those seemingly angry words.

In this era, there was no grassland nation that did not have a fear and fear of the Han Dynasty, and the Xiongnu, who were known as "millions of people who control the strings" and dominated the grassland, collapsed under the attack of the Han Dynasty. From the overlord to the tribe that submitted to the Han Dynasty, it can be regarded as barely keeping its tribal inheritance from being completely destroyed.

With the bloody example of the Xiongnu in front of them, the grassland tribes after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were all respectful to the Han Dynasty. Even the Wuheng tribe led by Qiu Liju, before the Yellow Turban Uprising, was extremely respectful to the Han Dynasty. In addition to occasionally harassing the border, he did not dare to refuse the Han Dynasty's proposal to transfer troops, that is, when Qiu Liju was asked by the Han Dynasty to transfer troops to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, he saw the weak situation of the Han Dynasty now, and then he had the courage to become more and more presumptuous about the actions of the Han Dynasty, and also participated in the action of rebelling against the Han Dynasty.

But now after hearing what happened to Lou Ban, and after the Han army really stepped into the grassland again and approached Liucheng, the elders of the Wuheng tribe instinctively swelled with fear - that was the prestige accumulated over the years after the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, and it could not disappear from the hearts of the nomads in half a moment!

"Don't panic!"

When there was some chaos, he shouted to stop the chaos of the current situation, and then looked at everyone with a majestic gaze, and said indifferently: "What if the Han army comes?" Listening to the words of Lou Ban and the Great Wizard, even if you count the Eight Banners Tribe, there are only five thousand people, don't you have the confidence in the tribe to face it now?"

Hearing Badun's words, the other elders looked at Badun, who was a little younger than Lou Ban, but who already had the ability to lead the Wuheng tribe later, and also nodded secretly, but some people still raised objections.

"However, the generals in the Han army easily killed Lou Lai, could it be that the generals who have trained their qi to lead the team?! Also, the current strength of the headquarters is only 3,000 cavalry!"

The words of the Wuheng tribe elder made the other elders who had raised some of their hearts look at each other.

Although there is a bit of an ominous premonition in this remark, but the top generals who have practiced Qi Chenggang's might, they have not had much confidence in Qiu Liju's majesty, in case the Han Dynasty military generals who come are the top generals who practice Qi Chenggang, five thousand cavalry are enough to beat Liucheng, the base camp of Wuheng's headquarters that has not many troops at all!

"Not enough troops! Then mobilize all the herders!"

Listening to the words of the Elder Wuheng, he said categorically, and after looking around at the other elders who still didn't have much confidence, he said loudly: "I will go to see the Great Wizard and ask the Great Wizard to take action, even if it is a blood sacrifice and a heavy price, I must win the Han army that is attacking this time!"

After saying these words, Badun walked out of the hall without hesitation, while the other elders of the Wuheng tribe and Lou Ban looked at Badun's back and looked at each other speechlessly.

"Listen to Badun! This battle, Wuheng can't afford to lose!"

After a moment of silence, one of the most prestigious Elder Wuheng sighed and turned to leave.

Several other Wuheng elders also nodded, and then left with heavy faces, but everyone, including Bandun, seemed to ignore the Lou Ban who was a loser...... (To be continued.) )
