Chapter 589 Internal and external troubles

The Duan Xianbei soldiers pursued along the rolling Yellow River. The closer they did this, the more they approached Hulao Pass, the plains suitable for cavalry would become smaller and smaller. The Duan Xianbei soldiers naturally wanted to intercept Sima Ying's retreating army before Hulao Pass. Therefore, Duan Wuchen rushed along the Yellow River after leaving. Unlike the Yuwen Xianbei's purpose, his idea was to intercept rather than pursue. The 20,000 Duan Xianbei cavalry did not speak much along the way, and put all their energy on the raid. The dust was flying along the plain of the Yellow River, as if the giant snake in the desert was serpentine.

It was precisely because Yuwen bit Sima Ying's rear army that Duan Wuchen had enough space to pursue without distraction. Duan Wuchen urged the army from time to time along the way, "Don't cherish the horsepower. After this battle, we have gained far more than today's losses."

The Duan Xianbei cavalry, who was in the dust, closed their mouths tightly but kept practicing the military orders they were in charge. Even on the grassland, they had never seen Duan Wuchen's eagerness to grow wings and fly. They were still blinded by the temptation of being the king, but they did not know the secret talks between Sima Ji and the four Xianbei leaders.

This distance of hundreds of miles is just a small smooth journey for ordinary times, but today it has become Sima Ying's bloody road full of thorns. He realized the most basic weakness of an infantry against the cavalry, that is, he has no initiative, especially in this tug-of-war, the retreating infantry is fully exposed in this dilemma.

Sima Ji can advance and retreat. Anyway, his troops are still in Xuchang, and now he is also advance and we are almost in a very unfavorable situation. The troops and horses that are broken are tightly bitten by the Yuwen family's cavalry. During the long retreat, we need to beware of possible raids everywhere. As for where such raids will take place, the initiative is completely in the hands of the attacker.

Murong Yun, who was pursuing the southern line, was no different from Duan Wuchen's actions, but the elite heavy cavalry of Murong's family was destined to not be able to carry out long-distance raids, so Murong Yun's purpose was not to stop Sima Ying, but to mess up Sima Ying's army. This was something that Yuwen could not do.

Just as Sima Ying was panicked by the pursuit of troops, Murong Yun happened to appear where he should have appeared, and rushed out of the south of the army, and with Murong's most elite heavy cavalry, he smashed hard on the seven inches of the marching snake like a sledgehammer. The heavy cavalry suddenly appeared waved the weapons in his hands, completely messing up the orderly march.

"It's them, the Hu people's heavy cavalry!" Chen always fought with Murong, so he naturally knew that this was the army that led to his defeat on the same day, and his position today is still the front army that retreated first.
