The cavalry from the coalition armies such as Wusun and Kangju were frightened on the spot when they saw that there were thousands of Han cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them.

Among them, the generals who led the team shouted in words that Ma Chao couldn't understand.

They all turned around and ran, hundreds of cavalry, not daring to collide with thousands of cavalry.

But now it's too late.

The Han cavalry quickly rushed down from the mountain, and chased to the rear in the blink of an eye, Ma Chao, who led the troops, pushed his spear forward, and the tip of the spear penetrated the back of an enemy's heart, and the Han cavalry around him followed, brandishing a ring-headed knife to cut into the rear of this group of enemy cavalry.

"Kill!"

Pang commanded two hundred men, and went forward at full speed, cutting in from the side, and inserting horizontally, so that the enemy cavalry could not escape.

This group of Western cavalry was not numerous in number, and they could not stop Ma Chao's attack, and they were all solved quickly, and the general who led the army was cut under the horse by Pound, and was tied up by several dismounted cavalry.

Of the hundreds of knights of the Western Regions, only one of the generals was still alive.

"Into the mountains!"

Ma Chao led the team and went back to the place where he was hiding just now.

The general was hung up by them, and whipped several times with a horsewhip, so that he screamed in pain, and he didn't look like a hard bone, and it was easier to handle.

"Do you understand us?"

The tip of Ma Chao's spear was pressed against the general's neck, and he threatened coldly.

The general said in a not-so-fluent Chinese dialect: "Listen...... Understand! ”

"Are you from Wusun, or from Kangju?"

"What do you want to do when you gather near Yuli?"

Ma Chao asked two questions, and the tip of the gun slashed on the other party's neck, and there was a faint line of blood in an instant, and the feeling of pain made the person scream in panic.

The general hurriedly said: "Wusun, I am from Wusun, we united with Kangju, and then annexed most of the small countries in the Western Regions, and gathered the troops of the small countries in the Western Regions to come to Yuli, in fact, I want to break into the Han Dynasty, why do we want to attack the Han Dynasty, I don't know." ”

He didn't know much about it, and in the Western Regions Alliance, the military rank was not high.

Ma Chao and Pang De glanced at each other, and sure enough, it was as they thought.

"When are you going to attack the Great Han?" Pound asked.

"Quick...... Soon! ”

The general said: "Our grain and grass are almost gathered, and it won't be long before we can send troops to Liangzhou, I heard that Dahan has a wider and fertile land, as long as we fight it, we can live a good life!" ”

Three days later, time was running out.

Ma Chao stabbed this person through the neck with one shot, hesitated for a moment and said, "We can't go any deeper, go back first." ”

"I can only go back and be on guard at Yumen Pass."

Pang De agreed: "Come two people, you first bring the news back, send it to Yumen Pass, and then hand it over to the shadow, let the lord know as soon as possible, and send troops to help." ”

The coalition forces stationed in Yuli in the Western Regions had nearly 400,000 troops.

Their guards at Yumen Pass were only 50,000.

The enemy is eight times as large as them, and it is difficult to fight with the Western Regions Alliance army by relying on the guards of Yumen Pass alone.

The two cavalrymen ran out of the mountain first and went back to Yumen Pass to deliver the message.

Ma Chao and Pang De then left, but not long after they ran out, the scouts in the rear hurriedly ran over and said, "General, there is a team of tens of thousands of cavalry, chasing behind us." ”

"Still discovered by the enemy!"

Ma Chao exclaimed.

Probably because the scouts and the cavalry who came out to investigate, they couldn't go back, and there was no news, so the cavalry of the Western Regions Alliance would come so quickly.

Pound said eagerly: "Run, go back!" ”

They sped up and went back, but not long after they ran, there was also a team of more than a thousand people in front of them, and cavalry from Gaochang intercepted the way.

The scouts on Gaochang's side, not long after Ma Chao went west, discovered the existence of this group of Han cavalry.

At the same time as they reported the situation to Yuli, they also sent troops to intercept and kill, and at this time, they just came out and cut off Ma Chao's way to retreat, and the cavalry of the Western Regions Alliance Army in the rear also caught up.

"The rear army of 1,000 people, ready to guard and break off, the front army rushed out with me, kill!"

Ma Chao shouted angrily: "Repeater! ”

After taking refuge in Yang Zhao, they updated their equipment, not only to obtain stirrups and saddles, but also to have a harder steel ring-headed knife, and a long-range repeater in the Han army.

"Kill!"

All the cavalry followed Ma Chao and rushed forward, wanting to break away from Gaochang's interception.

Seeing this, Gaochang's cavalry also rushed towards Ma Chao, and at the same time as the distance was closer, Ma Chao raised a crossbow and shot the crossbow arrow at the enemy.

The cavalry on his side split to the sides, and at the same time raised their repeaters to shoot.

The Gaochang soldiers wanted to pull the bow and shoot on horseback, but their speed had just slowed down, and the crossbow arrows of the Han army had already been shot, and the cooperation of the crossbow and the saddle, the cavalry's riding and archery ability was much stronger than that of the Gaochang soldiers.

On the side of Gao Chang, he was shot by crossbow arrows.

Before they could draw their bows, the Han cavalry had already killed in front of them.

They put away their crossbows, lifted their ring head knives, followed Ma Chao's rhythm, and sprinted towards Gaochang's interception, tearing open this line of defense, and the more than 1,000 Gaochang soldiers were scattered like paper, vulnerable to a single blow, and could not stop Ma Chao from sprinting.

Pound was in the rear, leading a thousand soldiers to prepare for the defense.

was blocked by the Gaochang people, and the cavalry of the Western Regions Alliance Army in the rear had already chased behind him.

"Shoot!"

Pound shouted.

The cavalry turned, and their crossbow arrows were fired in unison.

After harvesting a group of heads, Pang De ordered to continue running, and the cavalry of the Western Regions Coalition pursued them relentlessly, biting tightly at the rear.

"Ling Ming, keep up!"

Ma Chao had already walked some distance, and when he saw that Pang De was almost an arrow behind in order to break the queen, he couldn't help but roar and shout.

Pang De ordered, and shot a row of crossbow arrows backwards, blocking for a while, and the cavalry of the Western Regions, who were chasing very closely, pumped the horse's butt hard, and pulled away as soon as possible, and it was still a little difficult to run.

This area is all plains.

In addition to the grassland, it is the Gobi Desert.

The field of vision is wide, the advance is unimpeded, saving them a lot of trouble to escape, and it is also convenient for the enemy to catch up.

However, the speed of the pursuit of the cavalry in the Western Regions seemed to have slowed down, and they did not chase endlessly, and the distance they opened up became larger and larger, and they were finally left behind.

"Meng Qi, the enemy is no longer chasing."

Pound felt the pressure drop sharply and stepped forward from behind.

Ma Chao looked back and said, "The enemy should not chase after him anymore, but next, it is possible to move troops against our Liangzhou in advance, so we still have to go back as soon as possible to prepare." ”

Pound agreed: "Let's go, go back quickly!" ”

This operation to go deep into the Western Regions and explore the enemy's situation ended in such a hurry, they almost couldn't go back, and they got the plan of the people of the Western Regions, which can be regarded as the harvest of the operation.

At least I know that the Westerners will soon attack the Great Han.
