The night is slaughtered, and the autumn snow reflects the moon.

Emperor Beihu Feng and Hu Yanche urgently got on their horses, brought dry food, and ordered an urgent retreat to the desert.

However, the actual efficiency of the Beihu army's orders has been miserable, and even Shan Yu and the generalissimo only care about fleeing, and they can't care about the low-level soldiers.

The Beihu cavalry that fell behind were shot by the bows and arrows of Yanyun Tiecai.

A few clever Beihu people even simply dismounted and surrendered, just hoping to avoid death.

"Why don't the Beihu people even resist??"

The Guanlong cavalry were shocked.

Is this really the 30,000 Beihu cavalry who drove them out like a vicious god before?

Now it is completely a group of lost dogs, and they were chased by Yanyun Iron Rider like a water dog!

"It's really more popular than people......"

Wang Pojun led the troops in pursuit, and while he was excited, he couldn't help but sigh.

The horses of the Guanlong cavalry are not much worse than those of the Beihu people, and the thousand people of the former army still use good horses from the Western Regions, and the speed is extremely fast.

Even so, their gains were far inferior to those of Yanyun Iron Cavalry.

The difference between the two sides is not only in the bow and arrow, but also in the quality of the personnel!

Yanyun Iron Cavalry has a set of orderly system, taking into account combat, pursuit, and cleaning the battlefield, in an orderly manner, unlike other armies, which are often rushed up and scattered in a hurry.

"What kind of comparison is this, you haven't seen 10,000 Great Zhou Wuwei repel 100,000 Beihu cavalry, that's what shocks the world!"

Chang Polang's personal soldiers brought to Yanzhou couldn't help but smile and explain when they heard Guan Long's comrades sigh.

Guan Long's hearts were shocked, and they all looked at the back of Liang Xiao's team, and couldn't help but be in awe.

There was an army following behind Yanyun's iron cavalry, and everyone was covered with evil spirits, men and horses were one, with long knives and long bows, like marching iron towers.

The former Liang Jiajun, now the Great Zhou Wuwei!

Liang Xiao captured a large number of Beihu war horses, which were enough to assemble the Great Zhou Wuwei and Yanyun Iron Cavalry.

Most of the Great Zhou Wuwei were not professional cavalrymen, but they also had certain riding skills, which was convenient for pursuing with the army.

Longbows were not convenient to fire right away, so they could dismount and shoot in wartime, and march on horseback in peacetime.

The Guan Long soldiers didn't know that this was Liang Xiao's intention to combine the advantages of longbow and war horse to lay a good theoretical foundation for the formation of a new type of archer cavalry in the future.

This time the pursuit did not annihilate the Beihu cavalry that retreated in advance, but only killed about 10,000 people.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Liang Xiao ordered the whole army to rest in place.

"The marshal has an order: chase down the enemy army and take its dead horses and grain and grass as supplies!"

Even though Yan Yun Tieqi was chasing and killing, Liang Xiao still did not forget to remind the soldiers.

The soldiers were all excited and happy.

There is no doubt that this is a war to feed the war!

The Beihu people fled, and it was naturally impossible to come back to clean up the battlefield.

With the captured dead horse meat as a supply every day, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty could save as much dry food as possible, and they could also carry a roasted horse meat every day to eat at any time.

If the Beihu people continue to rout, they will become more and more short of food and food, forming a vicious circle!

Even if he fails to capture the magnates of Beihu in the end, it is enough to deal a devastating blow to the tens of thousands of cavalry of the enemy army!

At the meal, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked at Liang Xiao on the central heights, with a fanatical expression.

Even the Guan Long soldiers were full of admiration, listening to Liang Xiao's words, and kept nodding.

They are even looking forward to returning to the Great Zhou and accompanying Liang Xiao to fight in all directions.

If they can have a stable enough salary and treatment, and can be respected by the people, how many people are willing to risk their lives to burn, kill, and plunder?

"Marshal, the winter supplies carried by Guan Long are not enough, but looking at their appearance, it seems that they hope to pursue ...... together."

Lin Xiu, who went out with the army, reminded in a whisper.

Liang Xiao asked, "How many extra people and horses are enough for our extra materials to survive the winter?" ”

Lin Xiu explained: "It's enough for 7,000 people, but our army also has to consider the Beihu people who may be captured, including men, women, and children, who also need supplies, and we can't kill them all, after all, the marshal's trip is to prevent future troubles forever......"

Liang Xiao was thoughtful.

It is a good thing that Guan Long's side can cooperate in the battle, but Liang Xiao also has to consider the safety of the rear.

After all, the generalissimo of Guanlong and the three major families do not absolutely control the entire Guanlong, and there are other families in some counties and counties.

If there is a coup d'état, a mutiny, and a change of military power in Guanlong, it may threaten the infantry and logistics who are clearing the battlefield in the rear.

Before Wang Pojun took Guan Long's soldiers to meet him, he said that after defeating the enemy army, he planned to lead his troops back to restore his life.

Liang Xiao immediately found Guan Long's soldiers to explain the situation.

Unexpectedly, this time Guan Long's soldiers were all full of loss.

"Marshal, can we go out with the army, drink Ma Hanhai or something, the eldest husband can have once in his life, and death is worth it......"

Guan Long's soldiers' "change of hexagram" surprised the soldiers behind Liang Xiao, but they were quickly relieved.

The bitter cold of the desert is an objective condition.

But drinking Ma Hanhai, as well as Liang Xiao's "sealing the wolf Juxu", is really an irresistible temptation for soldiers!

That's an opportunity to make a name for yourself in history, and it's just around the corner!

As long as you can get Liang Xiao's army quota......

Everyone believed that once Liang Xiao led his troops into the desert, the only thing that really could defeat him was the desert environment.

The 30,000 cavalry of Beihu are here, and as soon as they heard that Liang Xiao was killed, they ran away, and they could only fight the trapped beasts when they fled back to the desert!

"Marquis Lanling, we really want to join your command, serve the country, and glorify the lintel, give us a chance, and promise obedience!!"

Guan Long's generals pleaded one after another, and even Wang Pojun couldn't sit still and took the lead in applying.

This time, the soldiers of Yanyun Iron Cavalry were a little troubled.

Liang Xiao fell into deep thought.

In terms of cavalry, it is a bit involuted.

It is undeniable that professional cavalry is better suited to the desert than infantry on horseback.

Guan Long's cavalry was not brought out by him personally, and he couldn't carry too much, but he couldn't not bring one without bringing them over.

Liang Xiao had an idea and proposed: "Guanlong's soldiers, select 4,000 elites, follow me into Beihu, I will leave 4,000 infantry troops, and follow the rest of Guanlong's soldiers back to Guanlong to contact the generalissimo, how about it?" ”

Four thousand!

The quota given by Liang Xiao exceeded the estimate of the people in Guanlong, and Wang Pojun readily agreed and immediately counted the troops.

Liang Xiao found Lin Xiu and Zhuge Ding again.

"Receiving Guan Long's return to Shun is also an extremely critical task, two, you lead 4,000 people to be responsible for this matter?"

Zhuge Ding immediately said: "Lord Lin, your body is weak, and it will be cold soon, just stay and I will help the marshal command the Great Zhou Wuwei!" ”

Lin Xiu frowned, and said: "General Zhuge , the marshal is personally responsible for the command, I have been recuperating for a long time, and I should follow the marshal to recover the desert, there will be a lot of official affairs during the period, and civil officials are needed to do it!" ”

The two began a whispered argument.

Liang Xiao didn't break them, but said: "Let's catch the lot, no matter who stays, the merits and inscriptions of this trip will also count him and the four thousand soldiers." ”
