It is said that more than 40,000 Xianbei cavalry raided the 30,000 Wei reinforcements who were on the march, and the battle ended in a short time. In such a short period of time, a third of the Wei army was killed, and the losses of the Xianbei cavalry were insignificant.

Fortunately, the Han official in charge of supervision organized a group of people to shout on the battlefield in time to surrender and not kill. Hearing this, the remaining Wei soldiers knelt down and surrendered, which saved their lives from the red-eyed Xianbei cavalry.

It was also inconvenient to carry so many prisoners, so the Han officials hurriedly organized manpower and escorted nearly 20,000 prisoners to the garrison of the First Division and handed them over to Zhang Bao for processing. Zhang Bao also had a headache when he saw that so many captives had come.

Coupled with the forward troops of the Wei army that had been captured before, as well as the 5,000 people who surrendered with Cao Hong, these Wei soldiers had at least more than 25,000 soldiers, and this number had exceeded the number of soldiers of the first division. With so many prisoners and surrendered troops, it must be handled properly, because the slightest carelessness will cause a catastrophe.

Zhang Bao had to divide the strength of a regiment and be responsible for the reorganization of these Wei soldiers. Adaptation is a better way to deal with it, much better than keeping them in prison. If they are locked up, they must still send a large number of troops to watch over them, and they must always be guarded against backlash.

On top of that, you have to consume a huge amount of food, and unless you can be ruthless and kill them like Bai Qi, it's a big burden. And the adaptation is to turn this burden into a boost.

Although the reorganization also requires soldiers to supervise them, they can be arranged to do some work and carry out some training. This will distract them and make them less distracted.

Adaptation can also disrupt their organization, making it difficult for them to organize effectively, making it much less likely that they will be in trouble. In addition, through the adaptation, some thorns can also be singled out, without these thorns taking the lead in making trouble, the entire prisoner camp will be much calmer.

When adapting, you can also pick out some people who really surrendered and let them join the ranks of the managers, so that you can save a lot of troops to guard these prisoners.

Some of the reorganized soldiers can also be organized into food squads, so that they can disperse and go deep into the civilian population to purchase food. After all, the troops on the northern front came in a hurry this time, and they brought very little food, and it was difficult to maintain their own food, not to mention that there were so many more prisoners now.

The pressure on food is very great, and it is necessary to urgently collect food, and the General Staff has long anticipated this problem and has a countermeasure, that is, to buy food on the spot. It is also the same for local grain, and the method of grain in Guanzhong is different from that in the Hetao area.

When they were in the Loop, they also bought some grain, but at the same time looted some of it, because there were some hostile forces there, and of course they did not have to be polite to the hostile forces. But Hanzhong is different, this is where the original foundation of the Han Dynasty is, Chang'an is still the capital of the original Han Dynasty, and it is all "its own people" here.

For their own people, of course, they can't loot, otherwise they will lose the hearts of the people here, and it will be difficult for the Han to gain a foothold here in the future, so they can only collect grain by purchasing in the Hanzhong area.

On this expedition, the 1st Division did not bring much food, but it did bring a large amount of gold and silver. The small size of gold and silver allows you to buy a large amount of grain with a little bit of it, and it will not take up too much weight, which is suitable for use in this situation.

It was based on these considerations that Zhang Bao immediately began to adapt these prisoners, regardless of whether he was still on the battlefield. However, the first division is now only taking out the strength of one regiment to be responsible for reorganizing the prisoners, and the rest of the men and horses still need to deal with emergencies~ situations.

After quickly packing up the reinforcements in the direction of Tongguan, the Xianbei cavalry only rested for a day before ushering in the second battle. According to the news from the scouts, Wei reinforcements from the southern front have arrived again.

This time, the reinforcements were 50,000 horses, and they came from the Meridian Valley and the Slope Valley on the southern front. The troops of the southern front were guarded in the valley between the lofty mountains and mountains, relying on the geographical advantages to resist the 300,000 troops of Zhang Fei and Pang Tong.

They have a total of 100,000 people, and it was no problem to resist 300,000 cold weapons troops by relying on the dangerous terrain, but now the army of Zhang Fei and Pang Tong is also equipped with some thunderbolts and explosives~ to blow up their fortifications at every turn, and the war is suddenly tight.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Fei and Pang Tong didn't want the troops to lose too much and didn't launch a strong attack, maybe the southern front had already been broken through by the Shu army. Now it's good, because the war in Chang'an is tight, they have to send 50,000 horses out to reinforce the capital, and the situation on the southern front can be described as precarious.

Without exception, the reinforcements on the southern front of Wei were raided by the Xianbei cavalry. However, the general of this reinforcement army was very shrewd, and he divided the troops into three parts: the front army, the middle army, and the rear army, with 10,000 horses in the front army, 30,000 horses in the middle army, and 10,000 horses in the rear army.

During the march, a certain distance was drawn between the front, middle and rear armies. The Xianbei cavalry could not eat all three troops at once, so they could only choose to break them individually. The first thing they ambushed was the front army.

As a result, because the terrain in the south was mountainous, which was not conducive to the deployment of cavalry, although the Xianbei cavalry wiped out the 10,000 Wei troops, they could not completely annihilate them.

The general of the reinforcements on the southern route was also a decisive man, and he knew that after the front army was ambushed and completely annihilated, he immediately gathered his troops and occupied a hill, where he built fortifications and held on.

At the same time, Chang'an also received the news of the arrival of reinforcements, and this time they reacted in time. Cao Pi sent the elite tiger and leopard cavalry of the elite of the Wei army to receive reinforcements. These tigers and leopards were the last family of the Wei State, and there were as many as 30,000 people.

Although the number is not large, these tiger and leopard riders are the elite of the army cultivated by the Wei State with countless resources and painstaking efforts.

It is no exaggeration to say that with these 30,000 tigers and leopards, it is enough to dominate the world, and as long as it is used well, even if there are 200,000 or 300,000 infantry, it may not be able to withstand their charge and attack. Of course, the premise is that these two or three hundred thousand are infantry with cold weapons.

Zhang Bao has always been on guard against Chang'an, the first division has been standing still just to deal with the receiving troops coming out of Chang'an City, and now that they have come out, the remaining brigade and two regiments of the first division immediately moved to block the tiger and leopard cavalry.

A few days ago, the Shu army built some blocking positions, and now they are finally coming in handy. One of the blocking positions was fifty miles south of Chang'an City. This place was carefully selected by the staff of the 1st Division.

The "CIA" people have long begun to survey the terrain of the Guanzhong area, and have drawn many topographic maps, some of which have even been made into sand tables. According to the analysis of these topographic maps and sand tables, the staff of the 1st Division determined that the Haw Par Cavalry had to pass through this place in order to receive reinforcements from the southern front, and this was the most suitable place to block the attack.
