In the northeast of Wuping County, a team of more than 100 people is struggling to move forward.

It can be seen that they were originally cavalry, but by this time, almost all of them were leading their horses on foot.

The number of horses has been greatly reduced, there are less than one of them, and they have lost so much weight that they don't look like they can ride for long.

They had received an order from the messenger to retreat, so they prepared to retreat to Gaoping. Helplessly, he was intercepted by the cavalry infantry of the Jin people, and the messenger was shot to death by the crossbow machine, and he was a little confused.

After going around and around, a few days of work were wasted, and when I walked along the river, I was intercepted by a group of soldiers who came on horseback.

They do not fight them on horseback, but dismount and form formations, with crossbows at long distances, with rifles at medium distances, and spears, axes, and swords at close range.

Those who were in a hurry to run away had no intention of fighting with them at all, so they could only avoid them from afar.

But this is not an option.

Wherever they went, as long as they encountered a dirt fence in the countryside, their whereabouts would be exposed, and they had to run for their lives.

The water they carry with them is becoming scarcer, and not only are people hungry, but horses are also losing weight.

At this point, the little food left was used to feed the horses, and occasionally some hay was fed for them.

As for the people, they have already begun to kill horses to satisfy their hunger.

This is their situation, it is very difficult, and I don't know if I will be able to go back alive.

The hearts of the people began to divide.

Some people still have a little confidence in their hearts, thinking that Gao Ping is still there, as long as he can withdraw to rest and recuperate, he can return to fight again.

Isn't it strange that some people began to wonder why the Central Protector gave the order to retreat? Could it be that the main force of the enemy army has pressed under the city of Gaoping? Or is the grain route cut off?

If it is the latter, then the situation is very dangerous.

In the case of the grain road being cut off, even if there is still a small amount of grain in the army, under the wavering of the army's heart, a decisive battle with the Jin army is nonsense.

When Cao Wei and Shi Le heard the news, they would only run away, and they would not listen to the order at all, and their brains were not sick.

When the news came that Shi Le and the others had either retreated or failed to advance, the morale of the Gaoping defenders would only be lower and the odds of victory would be lower.

At that point, the infantry in the city might be able to hold out for a while, but their cavalry stationed outside the city would be forced to face the enemy.

Under this kind of morale, what divides people into several groups, rangers and cavalry shooting, is purely looking for death. As long as the opponent concentrates on defeating a small number of people, the rest may run away, and there is no need to fight.

The only victory may be to concentrate forces for a decisive battle, but in a frontal battle, can it really rush past the Jin cavalry?

The Xianbei people's tactics were similar to theirs, and the Han Dynasty was defeated in several cavalry duels......

This war, having come to an end – at least the end of the first phase – now they need to go back alive.

Three hundred horsemen appeared on the distant horizon, and there was an exclamation among the retreating Huns.

Three hundred horsemen rushed to a distance of more than a hundred paces, and a group of men gathered the horses, leaving two hundred and fifty men in formation.

Crossbows, rifles, spears, and swords glitter in the sun.

To fight or not to fight? Everyone looked at the headman.

The head man frowned, as if hesitating.

These Jin soldiers, who were called government soldiers, never fought with them on horseback, but dismounted and fought on foot, with strong bows and crossbows, big swords and heavy axes, and when they formed a formation, they were really difficult to deal with.

If there is enough grain and grass, abundant horsepower, and no shortage of arrows, it is not impossible to touch it.

But at the moment, there is no possibility of winning.

"Let's go!" The head man directly ordered a retreat.

Everyone got on their horses and roared away.

The other party immediately sent the horses to the government soldiers.

The soldiers turned on their horses and quickly pursued them.

Both sides are running and chasing.

Occasionally, the Hun cavalry looked back and fired an arrow to shoot down the soldiers who were chasing too close, but they were unmoved, and after slowing down their horses slightly, they remained behind.

And on the way to escape, the horses kept neighing and falling to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

It is self-evident what will happen to the Hun cavalry who lost their horses, in the land of Henan with dock forts and soil enclosures.

******

In the south of Suiyang County of Liang State, a group of Hun cavalry had just crossed the river.

Behind the woods ahead, a group of people turned out.

The leader of the team turned pale.

The day before yesterday, he was still in Chenjun and retreated after receiving the order. Along the way, it always feels like you're being watched.

Behind the crude camps, there always seemed to be eyes on their whereabouts.

As a result, he only walked for two days before he was caught up.

He knew that the enemy could supply the camps at will, feed the horses fat and strong, and the men could sleep in peace, and then get up in good spirits and chase with their tails in their hands.

But they had to camp in the colder wilderness, with no new supplies. I could only rely on the fresh water I carried with me and insisted on returning to Gaoping.

The morale and state of both sides are not on the same level.

The head man did not hesitate and fled directly.

Fortunately, the state of their army was much better than that of the one in the northeast of Wuping, the horsepower was quite sufficient, and there was no shortage of horses to transfer, so they got rid of the chasing army and disappeared into the wilderness.

But everyone knows that it's not yet time to take it lightly, because the enemy will follow the trail.

All night, the leader looked behind him suspiciously, always feeling as if someone was chasing him.

After dawn, I had a dark circle under my eyes, and I felt weak.

At this moment, a cavalry appeared on the edge of the abandoned village to the north, and the number was about the same as theirs.

It wasn't like an army of economic control, but more like a private soldier with servants and servants among the children of the scholar clan.

They looked at this side in surprise, as if they did not expect to meet the Huns.

After a moment of hesitation, everyone turned on their horses, brandished spears and halberds, and rushed straight over.

The leader greeted and ran away with everyone, without even the slightest thought of fighting back.

Morale is a wonderful thing, invisible and intangible, but it is one of the decisive factors in the victory or defeat of a war.

People who talk about soldiers on paper are the easiest to ignore morale, because this thing is not as intuitive as how many soldiers, how many horses, how many grains and grass, you can't see or touch it, why should I think about this?

This morning's encounter taught us the importance of morale.

It can make a brave warrior lose his soul and be unable to fight, only thinking about the death of his friends and not the poor Dao, and let Pao Ze go to death in exchange for his chance to escape.

As long as you don't push him into a desperate situation and fight the trapped beast, he will be like a demon stunned, and he won't be able to get out of this mood in the short term.

After chasing, the Hun cavalry left more than ten corpses behind, and finally got rid of the pursuers.

Continue running the next day.

When passing through a fort, more than 30 warriors on horses and mules suddenly rushed out of the fort.

The team scattered again and ran into the distance.

But not all of them ran away, and about twenty people directly dismounted and surrendered, expressing their willingness to serve the Marshal of Wubao.

After escaping to this job, some people have really lost confidence completely, and feel that if they continue to escape, they will die sooner or later, and it is better to surrender.

This is not an isolated case.

On the vast land of Yuyan, thousands of Huns were scattered everywhere.

Abandoned horses, soldiers, wounded soldiers, and sick people can be seen everywhere.

Some people escaped by luck and ran to Gaoping, and suddenly found that this place had already been empty.

It just so happened that Xi Jian of Jinxiang County on the other side of the river led 3,000 people to Gaoping, killed more than 100 Xiongnu, captured 200, and the rest were scattered.

Someone received the news halfway and rushed to the direction of Pengcheng.

As a result, when crossing the country, the scholars and heroes who did not dare to do anything to them before sent people to intercept them, killed hundreds of people before and after, captured hundreds of people, and did not count the horses.

What's more, the tribes even began to send people to take the initiative to hunt down the lone Xiongnu rout, collect the horses and weapons abandoned in the wilderness, and enrich the strength of their own dock forts and manors.

In the end, only four or five hundred horsemen succeeded in rushing to Pengcheng, and even fewer escaped in the direction of Gaoping.

When the Xiongnu army came in formation, they did not dare to move, and even offered money and food.

When the Xiongnu were in decline, even if the troops were scattered, they would not dare to do anything, but they would not give money and food.

Now that the Hun army has withdrawn and the troops are scattered, then don't blame them.

To be honest, the Shi clan may be better, some heroes really have no concept of right and wrong, not to mention the Huns, the lone Jin soldiers and soldiers are killed by them just like them.

……

Shao Xun arrived on the outskirts of Pengcheng two days after Jin Zhun left.

There were also thousands of Zhao Gu's defenders in the city.

Shao Xun didn't know why they hadn't withdrawn yet.

The Huns retreated on all fronts, do you stay here and wait for death?

Looking at the sparse cavalry following behind him, and then looking at the water on the back of the pack horse, he left Pengcheng, collecting the soldiers who had fallen behind along the way, and also hunting and killing some remnants of the Huns, and collecting the horses.

When he arrived in Pei County, he received a military report forwarded to him by the county order.

After reading it, he laughed and said secretly: What a battle all over the city!

However, the war is indeed coming to an end.

He did not have the ability to go north, and the Huns did not have the heart to go south in the short term, so the situation was frozen first.

But the war between Jin and Hungary is far from over, and after the rest is over, there will still be a big fight until a winner is decided.
