It is said that the Xianbei cavalry patrolling was taken aback when they discovered the enemy's traces, but fortunately they reacted quickly, and immediately turned their horses and galloped in the direction of the camp. The advantage of the cavalry was fully reflected at this time, although the Wei army had long been ready to intercept them, but because they were on horses, running too fast, and the sky was too dark, the vision was very poor, and the first round of bows and arrows shot by the Wei army ~ did not kill all the Xianbei patrols.

The first round of arrows of the Wei army was shot ~ out, only to hear "Ah! Yes! The sound of falling horses sounded, and about half of the Xianbei patrolmen fell from their horses with arrows. There were experienced people in the Wei army who listened to the sound and counted the number of fallen horses.

In a moment, they came to the conclusion that only about half of the patrols were ~killed, and the rest probably escaped! I have to admire the ability of these Wei soldiers to listen to and argue, in this dark night, they can come to conclusions similar to the facts just by relying on their hearing.

The Wei army immediately sent cavalry to chase down the patrol, but it was still too late, and in this delay, a Xianbei patrol took out a Ming Di, bent his bow and shot into the sky.

The shrill whistle of the dysprosium spread far away, and could be heard clearly even in the barracks three miles away. The Wei generals knew that something was wrong, but fortunately it was not far from the enemy's camp, so he immediately ordered a general attack, and a good show of stealing the camp at night began.

At the forefront were 10,000 cavalrymen. Many of these Wei troops from the Western Front came from Xiliang, and Xiliang was rich in war horses, so this army was different from the general Wei army, and its cavalry accounted for much higher proportion than other troops, and it was a unit with the most cavalry in Wei except for tiger and leopard cavalry.

Due to the urgency of the incident, it was necessary to rush into the Xianbei cavalry camp as soon as possible, and launch a surprise attack on them before they could react, so that good results could be achieved, so the commander of the Wei army made a quick decision to let 10,000 cavalry rush to the front at the highest speed, in order to catch the Xianbei cavalry by surprise.

The remaining infantry also sped up and followed behind to kill the Xianbei cavalry barracks. At this moment, the Wei army was equivalent to withdrawing from the state of stealth and rushing over with a bang. With such a big movement, coupled with the previous sound of the hammer, the Xianbei cavalry quickly knew that there was an enemy attacking.

Because of a lot of worries in her heart, Su Li slept very unsteadily tonight, tossing and turning, often in a half-dreaming and half-awake state. By the time the cacophony reached the barracks, it was already quiet, but it woke him up.

Before his soldiers could come over to report the situation, he sat up suddenly, touched the waist knife resting next to him, and then got up. According to the standards of the Hong Army, the emergency assembly at night is generally required to be completed within 5 minutes. This point is not difficult for the well-trained soldiers of the Hong Army, but for the Xianbei cavalry who have newly surrendered to Cheng, this difficulty is too great.

In order to speed up the assembly, Su Li demanded that when the two armies faced each other, the whole army should not disarm or unsaddle their horses, so that the speed of the emergency assembly could be greatly shortened. Even so, their emergency assembly was much slower than that of the well-trained Hong.

If the cavalry ran at full speed, it would only take three to five minutes to travel three miles, and in such a short period of time, the Xianbei cavalry had not been able to assemble, let alone enter the battle. Although there were also people on night duty and patrolling in the Xianbei barracks, they naturally went up as soon as possible, but the number was still too small to withstand anything at all, and they were scattered by the Wei cavalry who ran at high speed.

The Wei cavalry poured into the Xianbei cavalry camp like a flood that burst the embankment, but fortunately they did not light the torches in order to conceal before, so they could not set fire at this time, which saved the Xianbei military camp from being wiped out. Although it is not possible to set fire, it is still possible to kill people, this torrent rushed into the camp, slashed all the way, and was quickly scuttled through the Xianbei camp by them.

Then, they turned around and rushed into the camp again, and continued to slash and slash the Xianbei cavalry. But this time they didn't go so well, because the Xianbei cavalry gradually increased, and more and more Xianbei cavalry entered the battle, and the 10,000 Wei cavalry fell into the barracks, and the two sides began to fight.

Although the Xianbei cavalry was caught off guard, but they were all known as the eagles on the grassland, they were all fierce people, and their personal combat effectiveness was definitely not covered, and when they began to fight, the situation gradually began to turn around. Of course, this is also related to the fact that they have learned a little bit of the style of the Hong army, and they are ready for battle at any time without undressing or unarmouring.

But the good times did not last long, seeing that the Xianbei cavalry gradually regained its inferiority, and the tens of thousands of infantry of the Wei army arrived, this time the night attack, the Wei army actually poured out, or did not do it, and if it was done, it was necessary to strike with all its might, which shows that its commander is a very courageous person.

Most of these infantry used spears, and some without spears were also armed with a stick, bamboo pole, or tree branch. They used these long sticks, bamboo poles, or branches to stab the Xianbei cavalry off their horses, and then stepped forward to slash them with knives.

It seems that the Wei army knows their opponents very well and knows that they are all cavalry, so basically everyone has prepared some means to deal with cavalry. The effect was obvious, and the Xianbei cavalry was immediately defeated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Li immediately ordered a retreat. In fact, there is no need for him to give an order, these Xianbei people are definitely not as disciplined as the Hong army, they are good at fighting a good fight, and when they encounter such unfavorable conditions, they have already escaped.

Soon, the Xianbei cavalry dispersed, and the camp of the Xianbei people was not fenced, and they could escape in that direction. The Wei army did not expect that they would break up so quickly, and they had not had time to arrange an encirclement, and besides, the number of people on both sides was equal, and the Xianbei camp was very large, so it was impossible to implement an effective encirclement in this situation.

In addition, the Xianbei people are all cavalry, and the biggest feature of cavalry is that they can run fast, including when they escape. Another characteristic is that the impact is large, when they encounter the interception of the Wei army in the squad, these Xianbei cavalry directly beat their horses and rushed over, and the intercepted Wei army was smashed into pieces.

As a result, most of the Xianbei cavalry escaped, and these Xianbei people have lived on the grassland for a long time, often sitting in the sky, and are very good at discerning directions in the field, so most of the Xianbei cavalry who escaped quickly found their direction, and then retreated to the east.

Seeing the situation on the battlefield, the Wei army commander was dumbfounded, this night attack they carefully planned, it took them a lot of effort, a long time to prepare, and a lot of materials, originally hoping that even if they could not completely destroy the enemy, at least they could leave most of them.

However, I didn't expect these barbarians to be so slippery, and in a good night attack, they only killed thousands of enemies, and the rest of the people ran away. Didn't you say that the Xianbei people were very brave and good at fighting? Doesn't it mean that they are all tenacious, they are not afraid of death, and they will not retreat when they encounter battles?

Why did you retreat so quickly this time? Aren't these Xianbei people? However, the smell of Yangshao ~ in the camp shows that those who once lived here are indeed those grassland people who like to eat mutton.
