"Report—"

"Report—"

...

A small man rushed into the military tent, and was furious before Yan Xing could wait...

"Report to the General, Xidaying... Xidaying was robbed..."

"Xi Daying?"

"What--"

Yan Xing was stunned and then understood what was going on. He lifted the soldiers into the air, with a ferocious look on his face and furious.

"You...you say it again-"

At this moment, the entire camp was in chaos, and a large group of Qiang people broke into the camp, knelt on the ground and cried loudly. In just a moment, countless people looked to the west in panic. There were all their food, cattle and sheep. During this period, they robbed the cattle and sheep from the villages around Longxi County, with enough 150,000 cattle and sheep and tens of thousands of stones of food.

"Send the order!"

"Retake our cattle and sheep--"

Yan Xing roared to the sky, and countless people roared angrily.

"Snatch our cattle and sheep back-"

"Kill those dog thieves--"

...

"Kill back-"

...

"kill--"

...

Countless people rode horses and ran, and rushed towards the original station Sanshilipu.

As the name suggests, Thirty-lite Pu is a place thirty miles away from Didao, twenty miles away from Yan Xing's camp, neither far nor close.

Just as the angrily over 10,000 people thought, cattle and sheep were not far away from them, and as long as they chased them, cattle and sheep that could not run fast could catch up. But if the baggage camp was placed too far away and was driven away by someone, they would not be able to catch up.

Just as they imagined, Dong Hu was really forcing nearly a thousand prisoners to drive the sheep. Anyone who was a little dishonest would immediately drag it out without chopping his head. He cut off his thumbs in front of the person. If he struggled hard, he would chop off his palms and arms and throw them aside to ask without asking.

He repeatedly chopped people's fingers and threw people on the road, and loved them to death. Anyone who saw this scene was afraid that sheep would be slow and she would throw them away, and that she would become a waste that no one wanted. Sheepskins and firecrackers exploded one after another.

"Si'er."

Listening to Dong Hu's greeting, Dong Xin, who was a little injured, hurried forward.

"Travel to Hongjia Valley with the injured brothers and the baggage camp."

Dong Xin said worriedly: "Why don't Si'er break the rear? My elder brother takes the prisoner away first!"

Dong Hu patted him on the shoulder a few times and sighed: "There are too many enemies. We can only take advantage of the darkness, and get out of touch with them when they are too anxious, and take advantage of their exhausted attacks. But what step can be done, what kind of defeat can be defeated, or forced to retreat if they fail to defeat, brothers must control the situation as soon as possible. We have too few people and cannot afford to lose."

Dong Xin sighed lightly and nodded, "Brother, be careful."

Dong Hu pounded his chest and said with a smile: "Let's go."

...

Seeing Dong Xin go away, the First Cavalry Battalion took a break when the enemy was not coming, waiting for the second life-and-death battle.

Twenty miles said it was not far away, and it was not close. It took an hour to escape from Sanshilipu to Yanxing Camp, and it took two hours to go back to one trip. Dong Hu led the combat cavalry to the west for half an hour and stopped to rest, waiting for the large army of cattle and sheep escorted behind to pass by, and everyone was waiting for Yanxing to come.

According to calculations, at least two hours after the camp was destroyed, Yan Xing could only march with his cavalry to Dong Hu's resting place. Unless he had to force him, he rarely rode his horse for an hour. This was not only a test for the war horses, but also a torture for the cavalry without stirrups.

It's better to have stirrups. If you are tired, you can use your legs to force your legs, lean forward and hang your body forward, and feel more comfortable under your waist and crotch. The muscles that always maintain the same posture can relieve some fatigue. But if there are stirrups, it's really tiring. Dong Hu, who has been riding a horse for many years, knows very well what kind of fatigue it will be if he's going to be fast for an hour.

Yan Xing immediately sent troops, and the cavalry would run at a high speed for an hour. The infantry's legs and feet were fast and slow. It would be fine if they did not marching in a hurry. If they were rushing to chase each other, it would be exactly the same as when they were defeated. Ten thousand infantrymen could drag on for more than ten miles.

Dong Hu looked at the Suijun hourglass from time to time, and secretly calculated the time in his heart. Liu Qi was a little curious about this, but he did not dare to ask Dong Hu. After seeing the power of the heavy armored cavalry charge, he was a little afraid of the doll he once didn't care much.

Liu Qi touched Dong Xiaoyi and lowered his body and asked, "What are you doing when you look at the sand?"

Dong Xiaoyi couldn't help but smile and said, "That's an hourglass, something that calculates time, and the eldest brother is calculating how long Yan Xing can come here."

Liu Qi asked in confusion: "What's the matter...is there any particularity?"

Dong Xiaoyi thought for a while and said, "If Yan Xing could kill him in half an hour, it means that this person is an impulsive boy. He had not changed with Yan Xing, whom he had known before. In this battle, we might have won a great victory for a thousand cavalry because they ran over in half an hour. They ran fast and were exhausted when they ran in front of us. As long as we killed him, we could kill him... and chased the defeated army and slashed him..."

"hehe……"

Dong Hu couldn't help but smile when he heard Dong Xiaoyi say this.

“It’s not that simple.”

"There are too many conspiracies in war, but this time, Yan Xing has an 80% chance of coming to fight at all costs. The main reason is that we caught his father."

Dong Hu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Only Yan Xing killed the river, and the rest were all on the west bank of the Yellow River. Even if Yan Xing was stupid, he knew that as long as the court continued to increase his troops, he could only retreat to the west bank of the Yellow River. In other words, no matter what the result was, Yan Xing would have to retreat to the west bank, because even if the Western Qiang was 100,000 rebels at this time, it would not be possible that he could truly defeat the Han Dynasty."

"The final result was to retreat to the west coast. Cattle and sheep were not that important to him. At least he did not have to take the risk of chasing them. He should know that we have Tiefutu. After being exhausted, we were followed by a group of Tiefututus to chase them. It was not uncommon to die here."

Liu Qi couldn't help but nodded. Anyone who saw invulnerable people and iron cavalry would instinctively be cautious and afraid.

Dong Hu patted Dong Xiaoyi on the shoulder and smiled and said, "You have only said half of it just now. In half an hour, if the former cavalry rushed over quickly, they would definitely be marching in a hurry. It would be not difficult to defeat it, but it would not be necessary afterwards."

"There is also a requirement to calculate the speed of the infantry and roughly estimate the number of infantry encountered to judge whether the enemy is pretending to be defeated and whether he is deliberately luring us into ambush."

Dong Hu said: "For them, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are a key condition for whether they can continue to stay in Didao City. Without cattle and sheep, they can only withdraw back to the west bank of the Yellow River. We have few soldiers and have dozens of times the strength of the troops. Even if we lose some, as long as we kill us who dare to block them, we can easily take them back as long as we catch up with those cattle and sheep. It is better than chasing them like this, because behind them there is a 10,000 army of the imperial court eyeing them! The shorter the time it takes, the more stable the morale of the army can be!"

Liu Qi nodded and said in confusion: "We understand the words of our elder brother. It seems that they are coming quickly, but if the number of people does not reach the number of troops that the enemy's military camp can send, there is a certain possibility of ambushing. There is no need for us to pursue hundreds of deserters. But if they reach the entire camp and go to chase us, when they become exhausted, we will chase and fight hard, and it is possible to break ten thousand with one thousand."

"But they knew they would retreat to the west of the Yellow River in the end, why did Yan Xing even kill the Yellow River?"

Dong Hu was silent for a moment and sighed: "It is still unknown how they calculated, but how many consequences will be there for them."

"First, the longer the delay, the more unpredictable the consequences. For example, at the beginning, when we told the prefect Chen Yi that the thief rebelled, if we could arrest Han Sui and others as soon as possible, we could defend strictly and not lose our rebellion, it would be easy to quell the rebellion. But now? It has been delayed for almost a year, and the entire northwest has also fallen into continuous turmoil."

"The longer the delay, the more unpredictable the consequences. No one can guarantee whether the Xianbei people will invade Youzhou and Bingzhou at the same time after seeing the Han Dynasty unable to resolve the Western Qiang rebellion. Not only the Xianbei, but also the Meiji Xiongnu, as well as the Jiaozhou, Jiujiang Barbarians, Jingzhou Barbarians, and Banyan Barbarians... After these barbarians saw that the Han Dynasty could not resolve the Western Qiang, who would guarantee that they would not rebel?"

"The second point is that when the two countries compete, they compete for the initiative of national destiny and the competition for succession. The so-called succession is actually who attacks first and who maintains the attitude of always attacking. Now Yan Xing attacks, the rebels take the lead."

"The military strategy says: if you guard for a long time, you will lose your city after a long time, you will lose your land, your people, and your country."

"For example, when Beigong Boyu and others did not take Yunwu, there were only a few thousand soldiers. After taking Yunwu City, they gathered 30,000 in a short time. After taking Jincheng County, it became 100,000. If Yan Xing could stay under Didao City for a year and a half, there would not be 200,000 people who defected to the rebels."

"Third point, this time, only Yan Xing led his troops across the river. Who is Yan Xing? He was just the Marquis of Yunwu City Gate before, he was just a young general. In the eyes of Beigong Boyu, Han Sui and others, what is he? Perhaps ten years later, Yan Xing is a person, but now, who is he in the rebels?"

"A junior came to attack, and a large group of big men squatted behind. That's because they knew that no matter how hard they tried, they would never be able to do better than the Han Dynasty. This has been verified countless times in hundreds of years, so... they are waiting, waiting for the court's bidding code to lower the price, the bigger the trouble, the higher the price reduction code the court paid."

Dong Hu sighed: "We cannot be sure what those thieves are thinking about for the time being, but from what they do, this is roughly all. Perhaps they still have the idea of ​​taking down the four northwest counties of Liangzhou first and solving their worries."

After feeling the tremor under his feet, Dong Hu stood up, patted Liu Qi, and smiled and said, "Don't think so much for the time being. Let's meet Yan Xing first. Only by feeding your stomach can we fight with others."

"Brother said, we'll have to eat a lot today!" Liu Qizheng pointed.

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed and put on their armor and horses. Qianqi did not pretend to be running forward or something, but slowly ran towards Yan Xing, the three thousand cavalry who were running wildly...

This time, the Qianqi Camp did not accelerate to the maximum in a short time as before, but ran slowly. It was not until the Three Thousand Rebel Cavalry scattered and distant for two or three miles that the Qianqi Camp slowly accelerated. At this time, the sky was already white...

"Wow—"

Yan Xing held back the war horse, raised his hand, and stopped the soldiers who were whipping the galloping horse. He looked at the general in the lead from afar. Although he could not see the face under the mask, he knew that it was the tiger baby his father liked very much!

"Tiger baby——"

"Dong Hu——"

"Dare you dare to fight me-"

...

Yan Xing roared to the sky, and the deputy general around him seemed to know Yan Xing's thoughts, and then roared...

"The Dong family's little slave——"

"Dare you dare to fight in front of the formation-"

...

One person was furious, hundreds of people roared, and thousands of people thundered, but Dong Hu's mouth was just full of disdain.

"Ding bee...ding bee...ding bee..."

Dong Hu blew a copper whistle in a row. Dong Xiaoyi, who followed closely, and Liu Qi suddenly kicked the horse and accelerated. As the two of them kicked the war horses wildly, five hundred light cavalry accelerated wildly, and rushed towards more than a thousand rebels who stopped the war horses like a tide.

"General, these dog thieves don't follow the rules-"

Yan Xing's eyes turned red in an instant, and he was furious to the sky.

"kill--"

Countless iron cavalry who rushed towards the tide with their supra.
Chapter completed!
