There is a reason why Han Hong can laugh.

Because the Hebei rebels were too fierce, the preparations for the attack were quite sufficient, and the determination to attack was quite resolute, before Mo Lingjun arrived, the rebels attacked for three days.

In just three days, there were nearly 1,000 casualties in Bianzhou City every day, and at this rate, the 30,000 Xuanwu troops in the city were wiped out in a month.

Mo Lingjun's surprise attack, the rebels only lost more than 10,000 personnel, and the loss of materials was even more difficult to measure, according to Han Hong's estimate, there was absolutely no way to resume the siege in four or five days.

Of course, the influence of the offensive and defensive direction of the city is still secondary, and more important is the change of the entire battle situation.

On the surface, there is no essential difference between Han Hong and the three commanders of the Hebei rebels, but as the core fulcrum of Guo Rong's strategy, Han Hong knows Guo Rong's entire strategic plan and steps.

Mo Lingjun's cavalry was definitely not in the original plan, which showed that Guo Rong had changed his plan.

But looking at the tens of thousands of rebels who were attracted away by Mo Lingjun's coquettish operation, and then estimating the approximate number of rebels under the city of Bianzhou, Han Hong, who already knew Guo Rong's plan, immediately understood the starting point and purpose of Guo Rong's tactical fine-tuning.

After a simple measurement, Han Hong had to admit that there were risks, but the high returns compared to the risks were scary, and the most important thing was that after the change, Han Hong believed that the feasibility and success rate of Guo Rong's plan were very high.

"Guo Rong, this kid is still real, and he recognizes this trick......"

Smiling lightly, his eyes swept over the rebel soldiers and horses that had begun to retreat under the city wall, and then looked into the distance, one after another of the Hebei rebels were leaving the camp one after another, chasing towards the east with smoke and dust, after Han Hong confirmed his judgment again, and then Han Hong couldn't help but sigh.

"The afterlife is terrifying!"

After a sigh, Han Hong shifted his attention to Bianzhou City, Guo Rong was so important, but his side was not bad at all.

Bianzhou is the center point of the entire battle, and it can also be regarded as an anchor point, if Bianzhou is lost, then everything will be lost.

"Put the stone and the wood here, be careful not to spill the gold juice in the pot...... Yes, yes, put the ......"

The siege battle under the city of Bianzhou temporarily died down, and the inside and outside of the city re-entered a state of tacit readiness, but on the vast plain east of Bianzhou, the distance between the cavalry of the pursuing Lu Long Army and the cavalry of the Changying Army under Mo Lingjun was narrowing.

Strictly speaking, the two thousand elite cavalry of the Changying Army under Mo Lingjun have not only received strict training, but also participated in several major battles in the Mobei grassland, both in terms of combat skills and actual combat experience, they are above the Lu Long Army, and even the war horses are carefully selected horses, and they should not be caught up in the case of attacking a quarter of an hour in advance.

It's just that they had been running wild for three days in a row before, and they were engaged in a round of big battles under the city of Bianzhou, and at this time, the physical strength of the war horses, the physical strength and mental state of the cavalry were in a low state.

The cavalry of the Lu Dragon Army, on the other hand, was waiting for work at ease, and it was not surprising that the distance between the two sides was slowly narrowed under the wild gallop at any cost.

Of course, these external factors are all secondary factors, and they are also what Mo Lingjun hopes the other party can see.

The real reason why the distance between the two sides will be shortened is that Mo Lingjun hopes to consume the physical strength of the cavalry and horses of the Lu Long Army as much as possible through this state of imminent separation.

The cavalry and war horses of the Lu Long Army belong to the leisure and waiting for work, but it takes time for the cavalry and war horses to enter the combat state from the resting state, the cavalry is okay, just put on the armor and take the equipment, but the war horses need more maintenance and protection. 、

Before the fierce battle begins, it is often necessary to feed the war horse with refined grain, polished rice, and beans to ensure that the war horse has sufficient physical strength on the battlefield.

From the time he broke through to the city of Bianzhou to the appearance of the opponent's cavalry, it was not even a quarter of an hour, and you must know that the cavalry was completely useless in the siege battle.

Therefore, Mo Lingjun dared to be sure, the rebel cavalry seemed to be waiting for work, but as long as the chase was extended, the physical strength of the opponent's war horse would decline rapidly.

Although when they broke into the city of Bianzhou, the Changying Army looked like they were riding alone, but in fact, the elites under Mo Lingjun were all one person and three horses.

It's just that the so-called one person with two horses, or one person with three horses, is more often used in long-distance running.

On the battlefield, the cavalry raid is not Tiandan's fire bull formation, obviously not each cavalry can charge with three horses, but need to be prepared before the battle, leaving the spare horses outside the battlefield, leaving special men to guard.

As the best cavalry general in the Changying Army, Mo Lingjun naturally prepared everything a long time ago.

Before setting off, Mo Lingjun left most of the spare horses next to a forest more than thirty miles north of Bianzhou City.

And next to a wood, there is a battlefield that Mo Lingjun had preset for the cavalry that might follow before the battle, which can of course be regarded as a graveyard.

The reason why thirty miles was chosen is because thirty miles is a very delicate distance for the battlefield.

After the fast horse whips up and gallops for thirty miles, people may be fine, but the horse is to rest, and the average distance between the post stations in Datang is thirty miles, which is based on this reason.

Of course, it does not mean that war horses can only travel thirty miles at a time, ordinary horses can maintain a relatively peak state within thirty miles, and after more than thirty miles, the state of the horses will retreat from the peak state, and their physical strength, explosiveness, and speed will begin to decline.

If you don't spare any horsepower, it is theoretically possible to run 300 miles in one night, but the price is that the war horse will die directly after 300 miles, of course, there is a high probability that the war horse will die of exhaustion on the road if it does not last 300 miles.

Of course, thirty miles is not only the distance traveled by the horses, but also the distance that most foot soldiers can march in one day.

In the same way, it is not impossible for foot soldiers to travel only 30 miles a day, and it is not impossible to travel 100 miles a day without considering physical strength, morale, logistics, and supplies.

It's just that military struggle has to consider the cost!

Roll the armor and tend, day and night, double the road, a hundred miles and fight for profit, then capture the three generals, the strong first, the tired later, its law eleven and come.

Fifty miles and fight for profit, then the general will be on the top, and his law will be half there.

Thirty miles and fighting for profit, two-thirds of the to, and the army will die if there is no baggage, if there is no food, if there is no commission, it will die.

Sun Wu, the old man, had already written clearly the pros and cons of the military struggle, even if the Changying Army had sufficient training and supplies, fifty miles was the limit.

Mo Lingjun didn't believe in the foot soldiers of the Lu Long Army, who were temporarily ordered to pursue, and dared to pursue frantically day and night.

Therefore, thirty miles can not only weaken the physical strength of the cavalry and horses of the Lu Long Army to a suitable extent, but also put an end to the possibility of reinforcement of the Lu Long Army's foot soldiers, thus creating a relatively closed battlefield in the open area.

Mo Lingjun was like an old monk, and he walked forward with the cavalry under his command unhurriedly, while the cavalry of the Lu Long Army, who had received the order to pursue, advanced towards the battlefield that Mo Lingjun had prepared long ago under the guidance of the group of Changying Army lyb in front.

As the distance between the two sides from Bianzhou City exceeded ten miles, under Mo Lingjun's control, the speed of the cavalry of the Changying Army decreased again, which made the distance between the two sides reduced to the extent that it was visible to the naked eye.

The distance was rapidly shortened, and the Lu Long army, whether it was a military academy or an ordinary cavalryman, became extremely excited.

You must know that the losses suffered in this raid are far greater than Pei Mingren's expectations, as the commander of the 150,000 Lu Long Army after crossing the river, Pei Mingren needs to give his own boss, and Lu Longjie made Mr. Liu give an explanation.

For Pei Mingren, the best explanation is to wipe out all the cavalry that attacked him.

It's just that Pei Mingren is not a fool, even if he falls into a state of extreme anger, he has his own thinking, the other cavalry is not a rookie, nor is it a weak chicken, its quality, combat effectiveness, and discipline are all first-class, and he understands the virtues of the Lu Long Army under his command very well, and it is impossible for them to sell their lives without giving enough sweetness.

In order to boost the morale of Lu Longjun under his command as much as possible,

It's just that in order to boost morale as much as possible, Pei Mingren not only made a wish for the official rank, but also promised a very high reward.

The benefits that can be seen and felt in this way are the reasons why the cavalry of the Lu Long Army are willing to pursue desperately.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides had been shortened to the point that it was within reach, the cavalry of the Lu Dragon Army unconsciously picked up the whips in their hands, and the spurs on their boots kept stabbing at the war horse, stimulating the potential of the war horse and driving the war horse under their crotch to catch up at a faster speed.

As Lu Longjun accelerated as a whole, the distance between the two sides was shortened again, and the nearest place was less than ten zhang.

While constantly urging the war horses, some of the guys in Lu Long's army who were more skilled in riding and archery took out the bows and arrows that were hanging on their backs or on horseback, and kept throwing them at the Changying army in front.

The cavalry of the Lu Long Army can shoot arrows, and the Changying Army, which is better than them, will naturally not be idle, and while feeling the arrow loss in the rear, the riding masters in the Long Ying Army also took out their own guys, and from time to time they released cold arrows at the Lu Long Army chasing behind.

In the midst of this back-and-forth conquest and chase, a large-scale cavalry chase of thousands of men has begun.

A full 3,000 cavalry of the Lu Dragon Army and 2,000 cavalry of the Changying Army began a frantic battle on the vast and flat land of the Central Plains.

Arrows, crossbows, and short spears flew in the sky, and the cavalry of both sides fell from their horses from time to time, and although the losses of the Lu Long army were far greater than those of the Changying army, they were getting closer and closer, even to the distance of the horses, and all their sanity was encroached upon by greed.

In this way, the two sides have come and gone, and in less than two quarters of an hour, starting from Bianzhou City, the two sides have run for nearly thirty miles, and they are getting closer and closer to the location of the reserve war horse of the Changying Army.

It was also when the two sides entered the hand-to-hand combat distance, the war horse of the Changying Army in front suddenly went crazy and suddenly began to gallop wildly, and the Changying Army, whose speed had only decreased but not increased, suddenly accelerated, and the distance between the two sides, which had almost non-existent, was quickly pulled away, and the two sides disengaged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The cavalry of the Lu Long Army, who didn't know what the other party had stimulated, were dumbfounded, and they couldn't understand why the other party's cavalry suddenly accelerated at this time.

After all, the chase between the two sides has been going on for a long time, and the cavalry of the Lu Dragon Army have already made a basic judgment about the object of their pursuit.

The opponent's war horse is indeed better than his own, but the degree of good is limited, if the physical strength of the opponent's war horse is really good enough to accelerate and gallop at any time, then the distance between the two sides will not be shortened.

The cavalry of the Changying Army in front only needed to rely on the advantage of war horses to gallop all the way to get rid of their pursuit, and they did not need to chase and fight with themselves for long distances.

Now the two sides have engaged in a chase battle for nearly thirty miles, and the physical strength of the horses on both sides has entered a bottleneck period, strictly speaking, the cavalry of the Changying Army has even been worse than the Lu Long Army because of the surprise attacks and fierce battles.

In this case, their sudden acceleration can indeed pull away in a short time, but this distance cannot be maintained, let alone for a long time, but will exhaust the remaining physical strength of the war horse at the fastest speed, which is obviously taboo in this kind of long-distance pursuit, and it is meaningless to drink to quench thirst.

Knowing that the other party's actions were to quench his thirst, but he didn't know what the other party was, for fear that Lu Longjun, who had let go of the other party because of his own food, had to wave the whip in his hand to urge the war horse under his crotch to follow.

The acceleration of the Lu Long Army was effective, and the distance between the two sides was shortened again, and then before the cavalry of the Lu Long Army could breathe a sigh of relief, they were shocked to find that the Changying Army in front of them had actually increased their speed again!

However, the Changying Army suddenly accelerated twice, which calmed down the cavalry of the Lu Dragon Army, which had already heated their brains, because this time they no longer dared to forcibly urge the war horses to chase down.

People are different, horses are not the same as horses, the war horses under their crotches did not even have a saddle half an hour ago, and in a hurry, the war horses did not make any replenishment and replenishment.

Now after galloping for thirty miles and accelerating a few times, the speed of many war horses has begun to decrease significantly, and some war horses have even swayed slightly in the run.

They are greedy, but they are not stupid, and as the anomaly arises, greed is forced to give way while impulses subside, and intelligence regains the high ground of their brains.

Pei Mingren's bounty is very tempting, but he also needs to have a life to get it.

If you chase after it without thinking, you don't need the other party to do it at all, and you will exhaust your war horse to death.

At this moment, for them, maintaining a certain degree of mobility and combat effectiveness is more valuable than chasing after them at any cost, after all, they are cavalry, and without mobility, they are not even as good as ordinary foot soldiers.

What's more, it is almost impossible for a large cavalry on the march to completely hide their tracks, as long as they follow the trail, they can eventually find out where the opponent is.

In the current situation, Lu Longjun can only comfort himself like this.

As time passed, the Lu Longjun slowed down, while the cavalry of the Changying Army accelerated.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was quickly widened, Lu Longjun's generals were full of apprehension and uneasiness in their hearts, if the other party really ran away, then everything would be in vain.

However, after the distance between the two sides was left, the military academy of Lu Longjun found that the cavalry of the Changying Army in front did not slow down, but were still running wildly.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared in the eyes of Lu Longjun's military academy and cavalry.

They could conclude that the army in front of them was dazed.

Just such a lifeless way of running, even if it is a sweaty BMW and a Dawan good horse, it will not be able to hold on, and if the other party continues to run like this, it will be less than two or three miles, and at most four or five miles, and the physical strength of the opponent's war horse will be exhausted.

When the time comes, the other party that has lost its mobility will only become a flock of lambs to the slaughter!

On top of this, they even put away their bows and arrows, slowing down again.

It's just that the real situation will tell them that they laugh too early, and the real winner is the last laugh!
