He Bai led the troops all the way south and found the rear of the rebels in the south of Yongnu County, Yuyang County. It turned out that Zhang Chun and Wuyan had horses, and although they were defeated and fled, they also marched quite fast. He Bai hurriedly sent a report to Xian Yuyin in the back, and asked Xian Yuyin to inform Liu Yu that if it was too late, the rebels would enter the two counties of Bohai and Hejian in Jizhou.

Not long after, He Bai received an order from Xian Yuyin, telling He Bai to bite the rebels' rear and wait for the arrival of the army. He Bai was extremely angry when he heard this, and three hundred horsemen went to bite the rebel rear team of nearly ten thousand horsemen? Want to die by yourself? Moreover, these 300 horsemen are their own private soldiers, not the regular army of the court, and if they die, they will have one less, and if they die, how will they mix in the future?

Seeing that He Bai was angry, Fu Xing hurriedly persuaded: "The rebels are fleeing for their lives at this time, and they have no intention of fighting to the death, let's send troops to try, maybe we can bite off a piece of meat." As long as there are a few hundred heads, even if they all run away, it's none of our business. ”

He Bai exhaled and said, "This is the one who is the superior, and he likes to give the subordinate some impossible tasks. It's really unpleasant. ”

Fu Xing smiled: "If it's an easy task, then it doesn't show our ability." Didn't you say you had to find a piece of land sooner? As long as this rebel rear team is really defeated, maybe there will be a county after the war. ”

He Bai gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, for the sake of Taishou's duty, how can you fight this battle well." I'll have to figure out how to fight. ”

He Bai's army approached the rear of the rebels, only to see that the rebels suddenly panicked and rushed forward. He Bai is happy, it seems that the rebels are like frightened birds, this task is not too difficult. Moreover, most of the rear team are old and weak, less than half of them are young and strong, and they ride inferior horses, and they don't even have many weapons, and their marching speed is not fast.

He Bai's army approached a little again, and the rebels became more and more chaotic, rushing forward like a carp crossing the river. He Bai laughed, and immediately ordered thirty people to take care of the horses, and the whole army and horses scattered in all directions. With ten people as a team, three teams in front and back, supporting each other, with an interval of 60 or 70 meters, spread out to a width of a mile, and the front and back stepped forward to shoot arrows like a flock of sheep.

The rebels did not dare to turn back and counterattack, and the speed was not fast, and they were harvested by a rain of arrows from He Baijun's army. The three teams of men and horses in front and behind kept running and shooting arrows, retreating to rest their arm strength, and continuously firing arrows, just like shooting targets, focusing on the places where they gathered and the people with weapons in their hands.

However, after only ten rounds of firing, the rebels finally broke down, did not dare to gather in a group again, and all cried and shouted and fled in all directions. He Bai immediately issued a bullhorn order, and the heralds also dispersed and began to surprise and drive away and attack those who still had weapons in their hands.

In a short time, even the men with weapons were gone, and it seemed that the rear team had all lost their hearts, and only then began to give orders to collect the army, like a flock of sheep, to collect the defeated soldiers. Half an hour later, all the 5,000 rebels were captured by He Bai's army, with more than 2,000 dead and wounded, and only more than 1,000 escaped. And He Baijun, but no one died.

In the past, when reading the history books, I saw that the 100,000 Mongolian army could slaughter half of the entire world's population at that time, more than 200 million people, and I still couldn't figure out what the dead people thought.

At this time, when I saw that there were 5,000 rebels, including more than 1,000 young and strong people who were honest, were captured by He Bai's 300 people, I suddenly realized. In fact, when people are timid, they are only more unbearable than chickens and ducks and other birds. At least they don't know what it means to be honest and what it means to surrender, and they all run away in a swarm, and they can't catch them all at all.

And people are different, people have thoughts, people have luck psychology. After all those who dared to resist were dead, they became honest and completely obedient people. He Bai couldn't help but feel sad for people's thoughts, and even in the 21 st century, which was developed in later generations, he couldn't solve this problem well, and He Bai couldn't solve it even more.

When Xian Yuyin led 2,000 cavalry to arrive, he was also shocked by He Bai's huge success, and under the surprise, he hurriedly ordered He Bai to make persistent efforts and continue to pursue the rebels' Chinese army. He Bai did not shirk, led three hundred martial arts and bloody horses, and drove the five hundred horses newly picked up, a total of 1,500 horses to continue to advance.

From the mouths of the captives, it was learned that the rebel army of Zhang Chun and Wuyan had a total of more than 50,000 people. The most elite are the five or six Wuhuan assault cavalry such as Wuyan, with a total of about 7,000 people, and Zhang Chun's 15,000 cavalry Han rebels are not bad. The other more than 30,000 people are the families of the Yuyang rebels and the Wuhuan people, who are old and weak.

If it weren't for the defeat just now, it was when the people were panicking, and there were more than 3,000 Han Chinese rebels under Zhang Chun's rear team, it would not have been He Bai's army with 300 cavalry that could easily win. At this time, Zhang Chun's Chinese army had 30,000 or 40,000 people, which was not something that He Bai's army could regret.

He Bai didn't have much thought about Zhang Chun's Chinese army, he could bite it, and if he couldn't, he just stared at the periphery. Anyway, he has already made a huge contribution to defeating the rear of nearly 10,000 rebels, and it is enough.

After He Bai's army pursued for more than 20 miles, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, he saw Zhang Chun's rebel army from a distance. By this time, the rebels had already set up camp, and there were a thousand elite horsemen on each side of the army.

After discovering that He Bai's army was chasing him, he immediately rushed out of the ungood camp with another 2,000 horsemen, joined the 1,000 horsemen in the north, and pressed towards He Bai's army from a distance, wanting to drive He Bai's army away.

He Bai didn't fight hard, but kept wandering around the periphery of the 3,000 cavalry rebels, and when the 3,000 cavalry rebels wanted to retreat, He Bai waved his troops to approach and provoke. When they came after them, they fled far away. Anyway, like a Laipi dog, pestering these 3,000 cavalry rebels.

Finally, half an hour later, the rebel cavalry was finally provoked by He Bai and chased after him desperately. He Baijun changed horses unhurriedly, fled to the northwest in the cold wind, and constantly borrowed the Wuhuan bow in his hand to launch a rain of arrows at the rebels.

In the process of escaping, because of the tailwind, most of the range of the Wuhuan bow once reached the maximum killing range of two hundred meters of the Han bow. Although the back shot was not very accurate and the rate of fire was slow, the rebels had too many cavalry and too dense a queue, and He Baijun still inflicted great casualties on the rebels.

By the time the rebel cavalry who had chased twenty miles came to their senses, the three thousand rebel cavalry had lost nearly six hundred. In addition, the cold winter night came early, and it was dark on all sides, and I don't know how many Han troops were lurking in the dark, and the rebel cavalry ordered to turn around and retreat in horror.

However, He Baijun discovered the movement of the rebels, and immediately changed horses and pasted them again, scattered in formation, semi-surrounded the rebels like geese, and poured arrows at the rebels as fast as they could. Although the rebels also led arrows to counterattack, the queue of He Bai's army was too scattered, and those who were hit by arrows were killed.

The rebels were accustomed to the dense charging of the Han army, but they did not have the sophisticated equipment of the Han army, let alone the courage and good fighting of the Han army during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and they were so shot by the arrows of He Bai's army that they could not raise their heads. From the beginning of the retreat, to the gradual defeat, then to the rout, and finally to the rout.

He Baijun did not charge into battle, because if the army had died, there would be one less, and he would only follow closely behind the rebels to harvest. By the time the rebel cavalry fled back to the established camp, the 3,000 cavalry was less than 1,000.

When the rebel general Zhang Chun, the king of Anding, knew the situation of the pursuit, he gave a death order with trepidation, and when he met the Han cavalry with a black eagle flag on a red background, he was absolutely not allowed to pursue. No matter how many dead and wounded the side has, the pursuit is not allowed.

He Bai's Hui army beheaded the fallen rebel cavalry, drove nearly a thousand intact rebel horses, mixed more than 1,000 war horses from the army, and returned to the vanguard army camp ten miles away from the rebels.

When Xian Yuyin saw the head of the entire 2,000-level rebel army again, he was already speechless with horror by He Baijun's combat exploits. When he learned that He Baijun had only killed or injured more than a dozen people, he was even more silent. The only way to do this is to report this good news to Liu Yu, the Youzhou Mu who was camping more than 20 miles behind, overnight. In my heart, I was even more glad that I didn't fight with He Bai's army half a month ago, otherwise, a thousand Youzhou cavalry would not be enough for He Bai's army.

Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and early on the morning of the second day, he led the army to come. He even sent people to take the lead in the pioneer camp and promoted He Bai to the position of Sima of other departments.

Sima of the other department can command thousands of troops, and is the highest level of officer who leads the army on a daily basis. The captains, cavalry lieutenants, and captains above are all officers who don't actually lead troops. Only in wartime will he be appointed to the command level. And He Bai's other Sima belongs to the other Sima who commands the cavalry, and can only command about five or six hundred troops.

Zhang Chun's rebels did not set up camp and went south today, and even the Wuyan Division, which served as the vanguard, led 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry back to this place. The rebels did not dare to fight because of the confusion of the people. Liu Yu's army was also tired because of the more than 20 miles of travel, and the soldiers were tired, and they had no intention of attacking the rebel camp, so the second day passed like this.

Early in the morning, Liu Yu convened the generals under his command to prepare for an attack on the rebel camp. He Bai, as the post of Sima of other departments, is already a regimental commander-level officer with a thousand stones, and he can have a position to observe Liu Yu's military meeting.

Among the big tents are three Taishou who accompany the army, three lieutenants who are deputy commanders, three cavalry captains who are in charge of cavalry, eight county captains who are in charge of infantry, and a total of thirty-three people in Sima and He Bai.

The 6,000 cavalry of the Youzhou Army were appointed to be responsible for the defense of the east, south, and west, and the infantry was mainly attacking the north. As for He Bai, who had just been promoted, he was transferred back to Jixian County to guard the follow-up grain and grass on the grounds that the troops were incomplete.
