Chapter 11: Leave No One Behind
"This? Mr. Ahn, this is no joke. "Liu An's whole person is not good, according to An Hu's description, don't say that their entire Liangzhou, that is, the entire Tang Dynasty is currently fully equipped with this level, only the Tang Emperor Li Shimin's Yu Linwei has it!
"I'm not kidding, General Liu should have cavalry out to reconnoitre, as long as the cavalry comes back to report, General An should understand what I said." An Hu said seriously.
"Mr. An, what do you think we should do now?" Liu An thought about it and immediately asked, he came out with a special order, otherwise, he would not have led a thousand elite horsemen to follow An Hu and them.
"Keep up and find a chance to destroy them." An Hu didn't even think about it, so he spoke directly.
"This ...... Liang Guogong's order is that we are only here just in case, and cannot participate directly. Liu An was a little hesitant, if they could make a move, at Yumen Pass, Huo Gang and they wouldn't be able to leave.
"Guogong's order is that none of them can live, and the premise that we can't participate in it is to be seen, or if some of them survive, as long as there is no one else around them, no one will see it if they are directly killed, your subordinates are okay, right?" An Hu said in a low voice.
"No problem." Liu An nodded decisively, he pondered for a moment, and then raised his head and said, "Mr. An, in this way, we will send cavalry reconnaissance first, and if there is a chance, we will directly attack and destroy them." ”
"Good!" An Hu also nodded decisively, he is here to solve the problem, and leading the troops to fight must be handed over to professional people.
"Someone!" Liu An immediately said loudly.
"Here!"
"The whole army is ready to go to the vicinity of the ruins of Yumen Pass, and send ten more groups of cavalry to the front for reconnaissance!" Liu An said loudly!
"Yes!"
……
Liu An's 1,000 cavalry quickly drove to the Yumen Pass of the Han Dynasty, and at this moment, Huo Gang had already led his troops to the south to track those Turkic war horses quickly.
After leaving Yumen Pass for about a dozen kilometers, these Turkic war horses directly divided into three waves.
"Huo Zheng, send two groups of scout cavalry to follow those two sets of horses, and we will follow the largest wave." Huo Gang said expressionlessly.
"Yes!"
These unguarded war horses didn't run fast, Huo Gang and they just followed from a distance, but in this direction, Huo Gang squinted his eyes slightly, and then asked, "Zhao Er." ”
"Here!" An old pawn not far from Huo Gang's side quickly patted his horse and hurried over, Zhao Er followed Huo Ling and their old pawn, they knew more about the terrain around here, so Huo Gang brought one over.
"This direction, is it the direction to Yangguan?" Huo Gang asked with squinted eyes.
Zhao Er looked at it, and then nodded and said, "General Qiyu, it should be." ”
"Is Yangguan also abandoned?" Huo Gang immediately asked, if Yangguan still has a complete Guancheng, then it will still be difficult for their hundred cavalry to achieve their strategic goals.
"Yes, General, the Guancheng of Yangguan is a little more abandoned than the Yumen Pass, but there are three relatively large oases near Yangguan, and the direction of these war horses should be there if nothing else." Zhao Er immediately nodded.
"Send scouts to reconnoiter ahead." Huo Gang said directly.
"Yes!" Huo Zheng next to him immediately bent down, turned around directly and gave an order, and the two horsemen quickly broke away from the large army and went directly to the direction where Yangguan was located.
Just when Huo Gang sent the scout cavalry to Yangguan, Liu An's troops, who had just started for a short time, encountered the cavalry they returned.
……
"General Qiqi, the target has set up camp in Yumen Pass, looking at their appearance, it seems that they want to settle down in Yumen Pass, but Huo Gang's 100 elite cavalry that suddenly appeared under the leadership of Huo Gang have left Yumen Pass, and at present, Yumen Pass only has more than 80 of their original old pawns and more than 1,000 fugitives."
"Our people have already followed Huo Gang and they belong, I'll come back to report." The cavalry said quickly.
Hearing the news, Liu An waved his hand to signal the cavalry to continue reconnoitring, and then immediately turned his head to look at An Hu, "Mr. An, this is an opportunity, should we take the opportunity to arrest these fugitives first?" Liu An asked directly.
"Nope." An Hu shook his head directly.
"Why?" Liu An was a little puzzled.
"Don't forget our goal, if we solve these people first, we are relieving Huo Gang's burden, without these people, it will be even more difficult for us to catch them." An Hu said coldly.
"In fact, these people are not important, they don't have war horses, and they can't run, so we will first eliminate the large army led by Huo Gang to leave, and these people are not at our disposal."
Liu An nodded: "Mr. An is smart, come here!" ”
"In!"
"Immediately communicate with the reconnaissance cavalry in front of us at any time, and we will follow Huo Gang's large army."
"Yes!"
……
Yumen Pass was not very far from Yangguan, and when Huo Gang and them were less than ten miles away from Yangguan, the scout cavalry in front had already returned.
"General Qiyu, a medium-sized tribe has been found near the three oases near Yangguan, and according to the calculations of these Turkic people's felt tents, there are about four to five hundred people."
"Lead the way, go around to the heights of their gathering place." Huo Gang said coldly.
"Yes!"
With Huo Gang's order, the sound of heavy horses' hooves sounded again, and Huo Gang and they had reached the high ground on the west side of the Turkic felt tent gathering place, and the Turks below had obviously discovered them, and at this moment their entire camp was boiling, and the remaining women and old men in the camp and some half-grown boys got on their horses with bows and arrows.
Looking at the Turks who were riding nervously on their horses about three or four hundred meters away, there were old men in their fifties and sixties, most of them were women, and some boys who were fourteen or fifteen and a half years old, they all looked nervously at this side.
"Ready!" Huo Gang pulled out the long sword at his waist and said in a cold tone.
With a "bang", all the cavalry lined up in a neat formation, directly flattening the horse lance in their hands in an instant.
"Kill! Not a single one to stay! Huo Gang let out a low snort, knocked his legs directly, and rushed towards the enemy in an instant.
The bows and arrows in the hands of these Turks pose little threat to Huo Zheng's Mingguang armor on their bodies, not to mention the distance between them, and they can almost reach in the blink of an eye when they charge with all their might!
The sound of heavy horses' hooves resounded like thunder across the earth, and a hundred horsemen rushed down the hillside like a black wave! These Turks below changed color in an instant!
