Chapter 351 Procrastination
Half an hour later, the Han army's rear army and the Xianbei cavalry's front army were only 500 steps away. It seemed that it was a tendency to be caught up by the Xianbei cavalry.
"Slow down and prepare for transfer."
Tian Feng ordered four thousand Han cavalry and three thousand Xianbei cavalry.
After Sima of each department received the order, the army slowed down.
As the marching slowed down, in just a moment, the Xianbei cavalry in the rear chased after a mile away, and were still getting closer little by little.
“Transfer!”
With Tian Feng's order, the Han army drove the empty horses forward and walked alongside the horses they were riding.
The horse is in a slow running state, and the person sits on the horse and doesn’t have much bump.
Tian Feng stood up in the stirrups, seized the opportunity, jumped over, and landed steadily on the horse.
The other Han cavalry and Han Xianbei cavalry made the same moves one after another.
Thousands of times of practice are for the perfect interpretation in actual combat. Whether it is Han or Xianbei people, they will fail.
At this time, the pursuers behind were only three hundred steps away from the Han army...
The Han army and the Han Xianbei army have already changed their mounts.
The original horse was relieved of heavy burden and the degree was raised again.
The horses that are now riding on the ground have been running empty before, without any energy loss. After carrying the weight on their backs, they can still run fast in a short time.
Now the two sides are only 200 steps apart, and these 200 steps have become a distance that the Xianbei cavalry can no longer catch up.
The impact of the Xianbei cavalry is not as good as before. After the Han army transfers, we can see that the degrees of both sides are gradually widening.
Three hundred steps...
Four hundred steps...
Erli...
Four miles...
Juechen...
Queju, Suli and others were furious and kept ordering the soldiers to speed up, but no matter how frequently they used the horse whip, it was useless.
When the horses keep fighting to the death, there is always a limit. After the limit, the degree will drop greatly.
The Han and Xianbei were all well-known horses from the northern regions. How could the Xianbei catch up with the Han army with one man and two horses?
The Han army intentionally delayed the Xianbei cavalry. When the Han army was in the desert area hundreds of miles northeast of Dai County, the Han army replaced horses again.
After changing horses, the Han army paused, one for the horses to rest; the other for the Xianbei cavalry to lure them.
It was already dusk at this time, and it was getting dark. Tian Feng's goal had already been achieved.
The Xianbei side was exhausted due to the long-distance raid, so the Xianbei general had to order a rest.
After a moment of rest, the Xianbei continued to march.
"Report to the commander, the Han army is ten miles away." A Xianbei cavalry reported to Kuitou.
"My boys, rush!" Que Ji raised his horse and waved his sword. The Han army kept running away, which made him angry. He would not give up until he destroyed this group of Han army.
"Slow!" Kuitou quickly reached out to stop Que Ji. He already understood that the Han army intended to delay them, and even if they chased after them, it would be futile.
The Han army's march with one man and two horses seemed to be a drag, but its effect was unexpected.
"What's the matter?" Quejilema asked.
"We have fallen into the Han army's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!" Kuitou replied to Que Ji and others, and then said, "Don't forget the purpose of our alliance?"
"We mobilized our troops to gather in the north, crossed the desert, and came to the north of Yanmen to catch the Han army off guard. Although we were scouted by the Han army, we still had the initiative. Now the Han army does not fight with our army and has been running away and delaying, it must be to mobilize our troops to defend us. Brother Kuitou said nothing bad!" After hearing this, Mijia suddenly realized and continued.
Queju is not a stubborn one. Listening to the two of them and studying it carefully, it makes sense.
He rushes his army to chase him, and he will definitely be like a dog.
"What should I do now?" Suli asked Kuitou.
"Go back on the same road and rest for one night. Tomorrow morning, a total of 80,000 troops will be formed into Yanmen with the wind and wind blowing the remaining clouds." Kuitou suggested taking steady action.
"What if that group of Han troops were entangled?" Que Ji asked him.
"What a brave but not a resourceful person. If they dare to attack, I just need to mention my subordinates to destroy all the Han army."
Suli snorted coldly, while belittling Queji, he raised himself up.
"You? Your troops are okay with herding sheep and horses, but they are vulnerable on the battlefield. Since ancient times, no one has had the advantage and retreated without fighting? Since ancient times, how could they use thousands of people and horses to subdue a horse? It's really a shame for our clan."
Que Ji treated Suli's words as if they were worn out and retorted.
"Don't say a lot, do you dare to fight me?" Suli was furious and pointed at Que Ji and said, feeling that he had suffered a great humiliation.
"Don't argue with you, two of you, our army has lost the opportunity. Before the battle, the internal chaos will be chaotic. The Han army takes advantage of the opportunity and our army will be defeated and returned." Kuitou was very upset and warned the two loudly.
Que Ji and Su Li no longer spoke, but they listed each other as mortal enemies in their hearts.
The two of them are already in conflict on the territory. When the conflict is unresolved, they can only merge. Whoever is more powerful can annex whoever is. It may also be a battle between snipes and clams, and they will be reaped the benefits of the fisherman.
Tian Feng waited for a long time, but there were no signs of Xianbei cavalry or horse hooves.
After Tian Feng sent someone to investigate, he realized that the Xianbei cavalry had turned around and left. However, many cavalrymen were arranged along the rear of the Xianbei cavalry.
"Do you want to chase after me and harass me with bows and arrows?" Sima from the C tribe suggested to Tian Feng.
"Now the Xianbei cavalry is exhausted but returns without success. In this regard, we must be vigilant. If we rashly block it, we may be surrounded by the Xianbei. We have already bought a lot of time for the people. As long as the Xianbei cavalry does not go south at night, the people will have time to withdraw from the pass. In case of precautions, our army should rush back to Xiahu, cover the people's retreat, and guard the pass."
Tian Feng believed that the Xianbei army was working hard on the expedition and no longer had the energy to fight at night. But he still took the initiative to be safe.
...
The Great Wall Guangning Pass, hundreds of miles south of Tianfeng's army, is one of the important passes in Shanggu County. It is the main pass to resist the Xianbei going south.
When Zhang Liao led 5,000 cavalry to the east, he garrisoned here by borrowing land. He only looked at Yanmen across Dai County.
This is not Zhang Liao's own decision, nor is it Jia Xu's decision, but Liu Fan's meaning.
Only he knew that Zhang Chun, who was arrogantly king, was a dry bone in the tomb. In a few months, Liu Yu could pacify Zhang Chun without any effort.
Why does he need to cause trouble and only increase death and injury?
Fighting the pros and cons, Liu Fan ordered Zhang Liao to send more troops to attack the wilderness on the grounds that the Xianbei invaded Shanggu, to wait for the sanction of Liaoxi to subside.
When Zhang Liao received the letter spread from Jia Xu, it was already dusk. The soldiers were of great power, and Zhang Liao immediately ordered the army to reorganize.
Walk until midnight and arrive outside Daijun Pass.
Zhang Liao ordered to station in Qiru, a hundred miles west of here is Xiahu Lake.
Unknowingly, Zhang Liao did not march blindly. The soldiers did not rest during the day and marched in the middle of the night. Their morale was not sharp. No matter what the situation was, they should not attack at this time.
While Zhang Liao sent people to Xiahu to inquire about the situation, he sent people to Qiangyin to learn about the news.
I plan to develop tactics tomorrow morning.
Chapter completed!
