Ma Chao led 5,000 mixed cavalry. After leaving the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, he immediately divided the troops into two teams. The front team consisted of only 1,000 people, led by Ma Dai himself, of which only 400 were horseback soldiers wearing Hanfu, and the remaining 600 were camel soldiers led by Long Zhihu, the second prince of Yanqi.

Ma Dai hurried with a thousand men, and it only took a day and a half to reach the border of the former Cheshi Kingdom.

The people of Cheshi, who were originally active outside Jiaohe City, saw that Ma Dai dared to come to play prestige with only 1,000 people, so they had the courage to organize nearly 1,000 soldiers to fight against Ma Dai head-on.

The four hundred cavalry brought by Ma Dai were actually not selected from the Xiliang army, but the elite of the Han army's cavalry division.

According to Zhao Xing's arrangement, the 10,000 most combat-effective Baima Yicong in the Xiliang army remained in Yuanqu City, under the personal command of Tian Yu, responsible for protecting the safety of Yanqi State. The remaining 20,000 Xiliang troops were led by Ma Chao and came to join Zhao Xing's 5,000 Han cavalry division.

Zhao Xing said that Ma Chao could choose 5,000 people at will before the expedition this time, and the equipment could be arbitrarily selected in addition to "a swarm of bees". Ma Dai secretly suggested that Ma Chao must select 1,000 people from the 5,000 people in the Han Army's cavalry division, so as to increase the probability of completing the task.

Ma Dai was embarrassed to let Ma Chao pick some more people from the Han Army's cavalry division, mainly because he felt that this army was the "Imperial Forest Army" guarding Zhao Xing, and if he took too much, Zhao Xing's safety would become a problem.

Ma Dai has not seen the combat effectiveness of the cavalry division of the Han Army, but Ma Chao once understood the combat effectiveness of the Dingyuan Army.

Ma Chao, who was still stunned at the time, ran to Wuyuan City with 3,000 Xiliang cavalry to challenge Zhao Yun, the commander of the Dingyuan Army at that time, but the results were ugly in heads-up and group fighting. Later, Ma Chao trained with the Dingyuan Army and fully understood the strength of Huang Xuan, Yan Sheng, Southern Xiongnu and Han cavalry divisions in the Dingyuan Army at that time, so he agreed with Ma Dai's suggestion very much.

The cavalry division of the Han Army, which has been able to guard Zhao Xing from a year ago to the present, will definitely not be worse than the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army, and if you add some of their secret weapons, I am afraid that it will be even more powerful. So when the driver rushed over with confidence, they finally realized that sometimes a fight is not necessarily bad if there are many people.

The six hundred Yanqi soldiers who rode either singlet or shuangfeng camels couldn't take their turn to make a move, and they and the second prince Long Zhihu stared wide-eyed together, witnessing a hearty cavalry assault with their own eyes.

The cavalry of the Han army, who were covered in plate armor, wearing a facial helmet, holding a death ruler and a horse slasher in their right hand, and a crossbow on their left arm, each of them had killed at least ten or more Xianbei people on the steppe of Mobei, so their movements when launching an attack appeared so skillful and chic. If it weren't for the sudden flying stumps and broken arms and the bright red blood splashing, the Yanqi soldiers watching the battle from a distance might have thought that this was a lively equestrian competition.

The shabby and inferior equipment of the car master can only be described as collapsing at the touch of a button. They found that the hundreds of Han people who rushed over were many times more powerful and fierce than the Huns back then, the Xianbei people later, and the Wusun people now. The Cheshi people then fled for their lives and fled in a panic into Jiaohe City, which can be called a three-dimensional defense fortress.

In the eyes of the Che Shiren, as long as they escaped into the royal capital Jiaohe City, no matter how powerful the Han people outside were, and the number of people was ten times higher, they would definitely not be able to help them. The alleys above and below the city can directly abolish the cavalry of the Han army, and the countless reserved shooting holes can take away the enemy's life quietly.

As a result, to the disappointment of the angry Cheshiren, the group of invaders who followed seemed to have seen the power of Jiaohe City, and they refused to launch a siege battle outside the city.

Next, the driver saw a scene that surprised them. The four hundred Han soldiers drew out the sabers hanging from their waists, forced the Yanqi people to get off the camels, and then pushed them in front of the team, and brazenly launched an attack on Jiaohe City!

Maybe it was because they were too oppressed by this group of Han people, or maybe they were terrified by the dense shooting holes in Jiaohe City, in short, the six hundred Yanqi people who were about to enter the shooting range of the defensive soldiers in the city suddenly turned the direction of the attack and actually picked up weapons to attack the Han people behind them.

Because the defection happened so suddenly, many Han cavalry were beheaded on the spot by the crazy Yanqi people, so that the frightened war horses dragged the corpses of the Han people out and fled.

The Yanqi people, who were only concerned with the Han cavalry, gradually left, and the shuangfeng camels, which ran slowly, were left far behind, and only a few Yanqi people were responsible for pulling these camels.

The charioteers guarding the city had just watched a good show, when they had the audacity to rush out of the city and attack the stragglers.

When they saw the Cheshi people rushing out of Jiaohe City, they were very frightened and hurriedly begged for mercy, saying that they were forced by the Han people to come from Yanqi and were willing to hand over a large amount of dried meat, grain, and canned food on the camel's back. As a result, the driver got a lot of benefits without much effort.

The captured Yanqi people told the Cheshi that the dromedary camel in front of them was loaded with real gold, silver, jade and jewelry, all of which had been looted by the Han people from the Yanqi country, and were about to be transported back to the Central Plains.

The Che Master, who had just been bullied by the Han and now tasted the sweetness, had no reason to doubt the words of these Yanqi brothers who had been captured by the Han Chinese. As a result, thousands of soldiers of the Che Division in Jiaohe City poured out of their nests, and everyone rushed to the slow-moving dromedary camel team with great excitement like a pack of hyenas chasing their prey.

On a river beach ten miles away from Jiaohe City, the Cheshi people finally caught up with the Yanqi camel team that was about to return to their homeland, and the group of hateful Han people had long since disappeared, presumably they had been chased and killed all the way by the crazy Yanqi people, and had fled further.

Before they could divide the windfall, thousands of Han cavalry suddenly rushed out from all directions, and surrounded the soldiers of the chariot division.

The chariot masters, who had not tasted the strength of the Han cavalry in the city, rushed over to the spear-carrying generals who were in the head, and their fate was naturally very sad. The tiger-headed gilt gun in Ma Chao's hand, but he has slaughtered many generals of all sizes, just these chariot masters and miscellaneous fish, who can be his enemy?

After slaughtering a group of Che Shi people who were not afraid of death and rushed up with the fastest speed and the most neat movements, the remaining more than 3,000 Che Division soldiers had already been frightened out of their courage, and they dropped their weapons one after another and begged for mercy under the reminder of the "kind" Yanqi brothers.

After easily capturing the main force of the Cheshi Kingdom, Ma Chao led an army of 5,000 and held thousands of Cheshi prisoners to the east gate of Jiaohe City.

Ma Chao asked Long Zhihu to help spread the word, and shouted at the people in the city: "Within half a day, if you don't surrender the city, you will kill all the soldiers of the Cheshi Division on the spot;

The former chariot master in the city saw that the general trend had gone, and was frightened half to death by Ma Chao's order to kill, so he hurriedly asked people to open the city gate and led the people in the city to surrender and beg for mercy.
