The whole unloading work lasted until the evening of 27 July.

In the past few days, Shao Xun has been planning the marching route in the Nanyang Palace.

He had seen the boats, one carrying 4,500 grains, which was not small in this era, but it was not very big.

The key is the problem of form, it is impossible to stuff so many infantry and cavalry into it and take them away.

Food can make full use of space, people can't.

Food, equipment, soldiers, plus the transport of troops on the ship, a ship can carry a hundred and ten people, and it has to be transformed, after all, this is not a professional warship.

More than 70 ships can almost only take away the silver spear army, and the auxiliaries can't carry it.

The thousands of people of the Volunteer Army, the Xiao Cavalry Army and the Liangzhou Army are even more inadequate, but they are the main force - the infantry to intercept the back road of the Huns, the role is too small.

If you don't bring infantry and only cavalry, the number will be drastically reduced.

Horses are not very honest on the boat, often need more space, and cannot carry a few people.

After thinking about it, there was only the division of troops.

Another thorny problem is that under the successive wars, there are not many horses and mules in Luoyang City.

Shao Xun brought over more than 2,000 cavalry, a total of less than 3,200 horses, plus hundreds of mules, many of which were captured along the way.

Usually the sons and daughters led their horses on foot, and the speed was the same as that of the infantry......

The two thousand horses under Beigong Chun are not much better, and the whole army has more than 3,000 war horses and horses.

The cavalry is worth a horse, and it is even poorer.

Such cavalry really has no mobility, and its speed is limited compared to infantry.

Horses are a tool that cannot be obtained at a rate that can be consumed, and they are really too scarce, restricting the formulation of plans everywhere.

Shao Xun's fingers swiped across the map, frowning and thinking.

Gotta get it!

If that doesn't work, he'll have to gather some horses and bring fewer men, or simply change the route and let the cavalry withdraw from his plan of action.

War is a serious matter, and all you can do is keep making trade-offs.

At the end of the day, it's nice to win in the ugliest way.

As for winning in the most heart-wrenching, aesthetic, and heroic way, it was hard to come by, and Rong Ma was lucky to have one or two times in his life - he was lucky, he had already had a thousand-mile run on Gou Xi.

Thinking of this, he sat down and seriously thought about the next battle plan.

As he pondered, his gaze remained fixed on a point on the map.

It's you.

Early in the morning of September 28, the brigade left Luoyang.

When it was time, the car array was driving on the south bank of Luoshui, the sun was shining brightly, and the flag was covering the field.

The cavalry led the horses on foot, escorting them on the outside of the chariot formation.

The river was empty, and there was not a single boat.

The task of transporting the grain has been completed, and naturally these things are no longer needed.

The Hun rangers didn't dare to approach anymore.

One is because they have fewer people, and the other is because this army is really difficult to deal with, and approaching is purely to fight, after all, those crossbow arrows are not decorations.

Besides, there are so many cavalry. From time to time, they got on their horses and rushed to kill them, driving them out.

As a result, when the march reached the evening camp, these Hun rangers dispersed in a hurry, and even gave up harassment at night, which was meaningless.

The march continued the next day.

By noon, the Hun cavalry south of Luoshui suddenly increased.

This is actually understandable.

Now the entire Luoyang battlefield has fallen into complete stagnation, and only the Silver Spear Army is still on the march, which naturally attracts all the attention.

The Huns called for friends and transferred all the rangers they could find, trying to fight the Jin cavalry guarding the outside of the chariot formation.

The Jin army also went against the norm and took the initiative to attack, and the cavalry on both sides came and went, fighting repeatedly in the wilderness, each with injuries.

That night, the army camped on the south bank of Luoshui.

At this time, a few miles north of Luoshui, a fleet of ships traveled at night and quietly headed east.

On the third day, the march continued.

The guerrilla battle between the cavalry on both sides intensified.

The Huns also brought in a large number of cavalry, trying to take advantage of the numerical advantage, running away on relatively open fields, and firing at medium distances.

In short-distance hand-to-hand combat, the Jin cavalry had the advantage.

Medium-distance cavalry and guerrilla fighting, the Hun cavalry had the advantage.

The two sides played a real fire, each showing their magic powers, and it was wonderful.

During the break, the footmen of the Silver Spear Army even crowded the vehicles and cheered loudly.

Although the cavalry of their own side fought well, they did not mention it, but when some Hun rangers showed their difficult riding and archery skills, these dogs also applauded, and the face of Wang Hu, the general of the cavalry, was black!

In the evening of the same day, the army had reached 20 miles west of Gongxian County and set up camp.

The Huns scattered far away, firstly, to prevent the Jin cavalry from sneaking up at night, and secondly, it began to rain from the evening.

Shao Xun jumped up and said with a smile: "God help me." ”

Under his orders, five hundred carefully selected cavalrymen led the horses and headed north at night.

After the cavalry left, the whole six buildings of 3,600 silver-speared sergeants were fully armed, and under his leadership, disappeared into the vast rainy night.

The boat went down the river and moved very fast, and soon sailed out of the Nine Curves and into the Luoshui.

By the time the first rays of the sun rose, the fleet was close to Luokou.

Under Shao Xun's order, one ship after another anchored and anchored - the anchor at this time was made of stone, which can be seen from the word "anchor".

It took a long time to get off the boat after more than 4,000 paces and step on the soft riverbank.

Shao Xun turned over and got on a horse, and ordered: "Go!" ”

******

At the beginning of October, the rain stopped, and the sun was shining.

Early in the morning, Lu Zhuyan angrily drove everyone out and took out the hay to dry.

The grass has long since stopped growing, and the horses eat more and use a little less.

Actually, he has recently ordered to feed the horses with mixed grain, for no other reason, the Shao thief of the dog day is here again!

His people led his troops to march along Luoshui, and the goal was not obvious? Coming straight to Chenggao, obviously with the idea of attacking the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass on both sides.

Shan Zhenxi has already sent people to ask for help, and has successively withdrawn people from Guancheng and moved to Chenggao County.

There is not much food and grass in the city, but it is not a problem to support it for a month or two.

Can the Shao thief wait so long under Chenggao City? I'm afraid I can't afford to wait.

After breakfast, Lu Zhuyan rode around on horseback.

The ground was a little muddy and soft, and the horses couldn't run very well. But it's not a big problem, it's a sunny day today, and it's almost like a sunbath.

After dismounting, Lu Zhuyan listened to the scout's report again, and after learning that Shao Xun's headquarters was still sixty or seventy miles away from Chenggao, he was relieved.

This distance, under the constant harassment of the cavalry, can be considered fast for four days.

What's more, they also dug up a lot of roads, tried every means to delay the footsteps of the Jin army, and it was normal for them to come over for five or six days.

Anyway, it can be dragged on for a day, and the longer it is delayed, the better.

"Be careful!" After Lu Zhuyan saw a shepherd spilling hay on the ground, he immediately became angry, and the horsewhip slashed his head and face until he was drenched in blood, and then under the persuasion of others, he kicked over the person and walked away.

As if pardoned, the shepherd staggered away and went on working.

Everyone else looked at him with sympathy and sighed.

And at this moment, several knights who were on guard outside rushed back, shouting as they ran.

Everyone looked at them with puzzled eyes.

It rained last night, the mud was soft, and you ran like this, don't you want to die?

There are also people with awake brains who react: This is an enemy attack!

Immediately they looked at the great tent where the nobles were located.

Lu Zhuyan had just entered the account and drank a little wine. When he was slightly drunk, he saw two cronies rushing in.

He glared angrily, and was about to reprimand, but he heard the words that almost petrified him: "There are Jin cavalry rushing here." ”

Where did the Jin cavalry come from?

Lu Zhuyan Huoran got up and walked out of the big tent.

While walking, he also pondered: If there is really a Jin cavalry rushing in, then it must be Shao Xun's people, but they are surrounded by people, how to get out? Moreover, today's soil is soft, even if one person and two horses walk sixty or seventy miles, they have to walk for a day, and the horsepower is not enough, how can they fight?

It's ridiculous!

When he walked outside angrily, he saw a large group of cavalry swarming more than two hundred paces away, rushing straight over.

He was stupid.

The earth was trembling, and when the figure of the enemy rider was getting closer and taller, Lu Zhuyan reacted and shouted in a hissed voice: "Quick! Hurry up and meet the enemy! ”

The cronies scattered in a hurry, and went to find their respective shepherds and slaves, but it seemed that it was a little too late......

The distance of 200 steps is instantaneous.

When Lu Zhuyan turned over on his horse and raised his horn bow, a thick horse lance had already come straight to his chest.

He subconsciously crouched on the horse's back and dodged the dangerous blow. But before he could be happy, another horse lance came from the side, directly picked him up, and threw him heavily to the ground.

"Bang!" Lu Zhuyan fell to the ground unwillingly.

From the front chest to the back, a hideous wound had been stained red with blood, gurgling outward.

Hundreds of Jin cavalry poured into the Xianbei camp, charging and killing the enemy running on the ground.

Shao Xun rushed up from behind, and the horn bow sounded again and again.

Every time one or two shots are fired, one person falls to the ground screaming.

Cai Cheng guarded him tightly, and the saber slashed again and again, staining the ground red with blood.

"Quick, go and gather the horses, don't let anyone take them." Shao Xun commanded loudly.

"No!" Cai Cheng ordered several people and asked them to go to the order.

There are probably thousands of Xianbei in this camp, and there are many more - Jin slaves?

was rushed by their five hundred horsemen, and the whole thing exploded, and there was a chaotic flow of people everywhere.

Someone has already taken their horses and fled.

But many more horses are still grazing or enclosed in makeshift pens, and these horses are their primary target.

Soon, after five hundred horsemen had gone around, they gradually began to diverge, and with dozens of horses in one group, they went straight to the horses, stables, and fences of the Xianbei people.

There are Xianbei people who run away on horseback, no one cares about him, and he can't go.

Someone kneels and begs, and no one cares about him, so kneel on the ground again.

If anyone tries to take the horses away, it will be death, and if you don't screw your head off, I will be good-tempered!

After a long while, the figure of the Silver Spear Armor appeared on the western horizon.

Shao Xun breathed a sigh of relief, this is stable!
