The first livestock that the Xianbei people had to save and take away was the horses, and for the people on horseback, it was almost impossible to move without horses. The Xianbei people have a lot of horses, and almost everyone can get a horse to ride, except for those babies who are too young to sit firmly on horseback alone.

As for those old people who are too old to climb on horseback, there is no way, in this case they can only be abandoned, but there are very few such people, and Xianbei people can still ride horses even if they are so old that their teeth have fallen out.

In addition to the horses that each person rides, many people have to lead multiple horses at the same time, some with five or six, and some even with a dozen. Some people will ask, how can a person lead more than a dozen horses at the same time, no matter how big his hand is, it is impossible to grasp ~ more than a dozen reins at the same time?

In fact, the method is very simple, just tie the reins of the horse behind to the horse in front, so that as long as one horse is led, the rest of the horses will follow one by one, just like a train, one carriage follows another.

In addition to horses, the second animal to protect is the cow. The ox has great strength, it is the best choice for pulling the cart, as long as it can be put on the Lele cart in time, it can also pull away a lot of guys and grain. However, there were also many people who did not have time to put the lele car in place, after all, the fire spread too fast, and they could only lead the cattle rope and pull the cattle away.

The size of the cow is huge, equivalent to a moving mountain of meat, which can be slaughtered and eaten as grain when necessary, so it can be said that it is a kind of grain reserve that can move around on its own.

As for the sheep, there is no way to control so much, because they are too numerous and untethered, and it is difficult to control the direction in which they walk in the confusion, and there is no way to allocate enough men to take care of them in such an emergency.

Many people are in a hurry to open the fence and let them escape on their own, leaving them to fend for themselves. Of course, there are still some people who don't even have time to do this, so their sheep can only become a veritable roasted whole sheep.

After all, sheep are also four-legged things, once the fire rolls over, they will develop an instinctive sense of fear, as long as the fence is opened, they will basically escape, and will definitely flee south, those Xianbei people may be able to catch a few sheep on the way to satisfy their hunger.

Let's not talk about how the Xianbei people here fled for their lives, the work of the First Brigade has not been completed, and they will continue to set fires. They set fire to the dragon on both sides, with the aim of extending and extending the dragon and making the grassland even larger.

In fact, the 1st Brigade was a little greedy in this approach, and they made a serious mistake, that is, instead of continuing to spread their forces on both sides and setting fires at this time, they should have rallied together and prepared to resist the possible onslaught of large groups of cavalry. Because the Xianbei cavalry is likely to jump over the wall in a hurry, bypass the fire dragon from both sides, and rush behind the fire dragon to fight the Han army.

Although this fire dragon looked very long and intimidating, it was only as long as crossing the Xianbei camp, and for a cavalry that could run at high speed, this distance was nothing at all, and it could be quickly bypassed. If the Xianbei cavalry really did that, the first brigade would not be able to assemble into a thick formation to resist the cavalry because of the dispersion of its troops, and it would definitely suffer a big loss.

But things are often so dramatic, coincidence can always meet another coincidence, mistakes can meet another mistake, negative and negative will be positive, and mistakes will cancel each other out. The backward social form of the Xianbei people, the backward form of army organization, the low military quality of the soldiers, and the backward military knowledge of the leaders made the Xianbei people fail to organize an effective counteroffensive in time.

In fact, even if Kobi could try to organize a counteroffensive, it would be difficult, because the soldiers saw that their loved ones, their homes and property were threatened by the fire, and their first instinct was to hurry home and help rescue their property and help their relatives escape.

They really can't be blamed for being selfish, after all, it's human nature. However, the normal reaction of the soldiers ruined the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Han army. Even if Kebineng is a rare hero existing on the grassland, it is a bit chaotic under the sudden changes, not to mention these cavalry from herdsmen.

Kobi's first reaction when he saw the fire quickly rushing towards the camp was to quickly organize people to rescue property and evacuate his people, without thinking of giving the enemy a fierce counterattack at the first time. I have to say that there is indeed a fateful arrangement in the dark, in this Han-Hu game, both sides made fatal mistakes, and the Han army's behavior was a bit bold, wanting to expand the results infinitely, while ignoring their own safety.

The mistakes that Kobi was able to make deprived him of the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and also gave the First Brigade a chance to correct its mistakes. It wasn't until an hour later, when Kebi saw that the people had almost retreated, that his tense nerves loosened a little. As soon as this spirit relaxed, he remembered that he should send people around the wall of fire to counterattack the Han army, but an hour had passed, and the best time to counterattack had already been missed.

There are two hours in an hour, how far can a well-trained person run in two hours? The answer is dozens of miles away. More than 40 kilometers is a marathon of 80 miles, and the world's top athletes can run it in about two hours, and the soldiers of the first brigade are of course not as good as the world's top marathon runners, and they also have to set fire to it while running, and the speed cannot be too fast, but it is no problem to run 20 or 30 miles by folding it in half and folding it in half.

In the hour when Kebi was distracted, almost all the soldiers on both sides of the fire dragon ran out of a distance of twenty or thirty miles, and correspondingly, the fire dragon also spread to each side for twenty or thirty miles. Since it was the dry grass period, it was easy to ignite, the dead grass would ignite almost as soon as it came into contact with the fire, and the soldiers could easily light the fire without the help of fuel such as fire oil, and they each had a torch, and the torch was tied to the end of the barrel of the spear or fire ~ gun, so that they could stretch the torch into the grass without bending down.

The dead grass where the torch passed was immediately ignited, of course, the speed of the fire and the spread of the fire were far less fast than when fuel was used, and the initial fire was not so big, but now there is no Xianbei cavalry rushing at full speed, and there is no need for such a fast fire speed, as long as the fire head is given a little time, they will slowly burn up and become a prairie fire.

Having said that, when the wall of fire is pushed a little further south, it is out of the range of fuel, and the fire burns completely by dead grass, and at that time, whether the fuel was used for ignition or not, it was actually the same. The key issues are the speed at which the wall of fire advances to the south under the influence of wind speeds and the length of the wall of fire.

The length of the wall of fire spread twenty or thirty miles to both sides in an hour, and with the fire dragon that had been lit with fuel for about ten miles, the wall of fire for a whole sixty miles was inexorably pushed southward, and the first brigade did not stop, they continued to light the fire on both sides, and the wall of fire continued to extend, until dawn, when the whole fire dragon was more than a hundred miles long before it stopped temporarily.

The soldiers were exhausted from a night of traveling, and although they were well-trained, the Iron Man could not stand this intensity of marching. But they only stopped for a while, and after the rest they continued to set fires.
