Xuan Qi led the group of heroes and quickly rushed to the war horse camp. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAt this time, the war horse battalion, 500 heroes and 2,000 Hun soldiers were already fighting together, and they still had a slight upper hand. The addition of a thousand heroes suddenly made the Hun soldiers, who were already somewhat irresistible, have to keep retreating, and the camp gate was soon lost.

The one-sided slaughter had officially begun, and two quarters of an hour later, the heroes had already captured the war horse camp. Xuan Qi left 300 people to guard the war horse camp, and the rest of the heroes were divided into three roads, blocking the three streets leading to the war horse camp. Countless Hun soldiers began to rush over, followed by the hooves of the cavalry of the Celestial Empire.

The battle lasted until the afternoon, when less than 3,000 of the 50,000 Huns were able to escape. And Xuan Qi's cavalry army also suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the heroes also suffered casualties for the first time. This was the largest casualty since Xuan Qi led the troops, and Xuan Qi knew that perhaps the slaughter order he issued led to the strong resistance of the Hun soldiers. It's just that Xuan Qi still insists on his choice, because only when the Huns are really hurt, the Huns will not stretch out their wolf claws again and again.

Xuan Qi got 80,000 war horses at once, and immediately sent them to Lu'an and sent them to the new cavalry who had already begun to train equestrians. If you want to deal with the Hun cavalry, which is much stronger than the army of the Celestial Empire, only by using cavalry against cavalry can the gap between the two sides be narrowed. The Central Plains is dominated by plains, and the real confrontation with the Xiongnu army will definitely be on the vast plains. Even one day, when the northern expedition to the grassland, cavalry is the most important combat force and support.

Hearing that Helian Yinshan had lost Shenzhou, after the beginning of spring, he simply gave up Jiangcheng and waved his army north, determined to fight to the death with Xuanqi. The 500,000 army went south, and nearly 200,000 of them were wiped out by Xuanqi's army, and among them, Helian Yinshan's only son, Helian Qing. The pain of losing a son in old age is always piercing Helian Yinshan's heart.

The army of Helian Yinshan went all the way north, abandoning all the cities it had occupied, and the army of the Celestial Empire began to cross the river to the north, and began to regain the lost territory without much effort. Helian Yinshan wanted to fight a decisive battle with Xuan Qi, but Xuan Qi didn't think so, because Xuan Qi knew that with his 150,000 cavalry, he really collided with more than 200,000 Hun cavalry head-on, and he must not be an opponent.

Therefore, when Helian Yinshan was still on the way, Xuan Qi led 140,000 cavalry, which was already westward and captured Tongbai County. He then went north, captured Biyang, and turned eastward, forcing Caizhou. Three days later, Xuan Qi took Caizhou, the soldiers were divided into two routes, Xuan Qi personally led an army of 80,000, took Shangcai, Xuzhou, and turned to the northeast. The other route was led by Gao Yao and went straight to Huaiyang.

Gao Yao's army took Huaiyang and Taikang, continued north, and joined the Xuanqi army under the city of Bianzhou. The two armies annihilated more than 25,000 enemies, and when they arrived outside Bianzhou, less than 130,000 of the 140,000 cavalry remained. The desperate resistance of the Huns still brought a lot of losses to Xuanqi's cavalry army.

Bianzhou's garrison commander Dugu Yuan only had 20,000 guards, and in the face of the Xuanqi army, which was several times his own, he could only close his door and learn from experience, and strictly investigate the suspicious characters in the city. In this way, it will be a little difficult for Xuan Qi to rely on the help of the heroes again and take down Bianzhou.

The Xuanqi army has been fighting to feed the war, but the Central Plains has been ravaged by the Huns' iron hooves, and it has long been ten rooms and nine empty, but today's grain and grass are only enough for the army for three days. Xuan Qi still blamed himself for being too radical and stretching the battle line too long, which made the army's support a little weak. It's just that this is not the time to complain, either take Bianzhou City as soon as possible, or you can only give up attacking Bianzhou City. Capture Bianzhou City, the grain and grass in the city will naturally be enough for the army to consume for a period of time, and if you don't attack Bianzhou City, you can only let the army be reduced to zero, so as to get more supplies.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xuan Qi finally made a decision, and the army began to bypass the city of Bianzhou and march north, seize the ferry, and prepare to cross the Yellow River north. Dugu Yuan, who heard the news, was like an ant on a hot pot at this time, because once the Xuanqi army crossed the Yellow River, the Taihang Mountain north of the Yellow River was not suitable for cavalry combat at all, and for Helian Yinshan, who wanted to fight to the death with Xuanqi, it was equivalent to punching the cotton, giving up so many occupied cities in vain, but in the end it let the Xuanqi army run away. At this time, Helian Yinshan is still a hundred miles away, and it will take at least a day to reach Bianzhou.

After discovering that 80,000 of the Xuanqi army had crossed the Yellow River, Duguyuan finally made a decision, leaving only 2,000 Huns to hold Bianzhou, and he took 10,000 cavalry out of Bianzhou overnight and headed north, wanting to stop the Xuanqi army that had not yet crossed the river.

After Duguyuan led the army to the north for more than ten miles, it was less than five miles away from the Yellow River crossing, and as long as he passed through the hill in front, he could see the ferry. The cavalry followed the road in the dense forest, and it was not far from the mountain pass. Suddenly, a drum sounded, and the dense forest in the direction of the mountain pass instantly burst into flames, and the wind blowing from the river mixed with thick smoke blew into the dense forest, and the dense forest, which was already somewhat dark, soon lost sight of the road.

The sound of coughing and the neighing of war horses sounded together, and Duguyuan was about to order the whole army to rush forward out of the dense forest, when suddenly countless rockets shot out from both sides, and the dense rain of arrows suddenly made the already somewhat flustered Hun cavalry even more confused. The war horse, which was so smoked that it couldn't even open its eyes, began to run amok instinctively.

The rocket ignited the dead branches and leaves that had been piled up on both sides of the road, and the fire took advantage of the wind to start burning to the Hun cavalry in the middle of the road. The Hun cavalry, which was less than 5,000 in the rear, saw the flames in front of them, and in a hurry, they could only retreat backwards. After retreating three or four miles away, the Hun cavalry stopped.

At this time, Xuan Qi took 20,000 cavalry and went around the back of the Hun cavalry. With the sound of a drum, the 20,000-strong army was armed with bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows shot like locusts towards the 5,000 Hun cavalry. Under the three rounds of shooting and 60,000 long arrows, the Hun cavalry who could still sit on horseback was less than a thousand. Most of the Hun cavalry were either shot dead on the spot, or thrown off their horses by frightened and wounded by arrows.

Xuan Qiyi took the lead, with 20,000 cavalry began to sprint, under the flying of iron hooves, the Huns could only run towards the dense forests on both sides, countless Hun soldiers died under the horses' hooves, and the screams resounded throughout the mountains and forests. And the Dugu Yuan army surrounded by flames in front of them, burned to death, collided with each other and trampled to death, and countless of them died. Dugu is far away from 10,000 and 8 cavalry, and those who can escape back to Bianzhou City are only two or three out of ten.

And this is actually just an ambush left by Xuan Qi in advance before the army crosses the river just in case. From Chu Lin, who came to report, Xuan Qi learned the news that the defenders of Bianzhou had left the city, and he turned prevention into reality. At this time, the army of Helian Yinshan had reached thirty miles from Bianzhou City, and Xuanqi did not stay longer, and ordered the whole army to bypass the dense forest that was still burning and quickly cross the Yellow River.
