(Words written at the beginning of the chapter: I just went back and flipped through the comments of all the book friends on the chapter, and found that all of you are lewd talents...... Oak, no nonsense, pick up the text ......)

Although Dugu Yuhuan's idea is very good, and the desire to get loot is also very strong, the reality is generally unsatisfactory.

It didn't take long for the troops at the front of the departure to find traces of the Han army, but they were surprised to find that the Han army seemed to be hiding some horses, and then the retreating Han army changed from foot soldiers to cavalry......

Is that still chasing?

Dugu Yuhuan waved his hand and continued to chase!

The foot soldier who had just climbed on horseback was at most a little faster than on foot, and there must still be a gap between him and his men.

The Han army wears iron armor, and the foot soldiers who temporarily get on the horse are definitely not proficient in riding, so the physical consumption of the horses must be greater, as long as they follow the horseshoe prints, how far can this group of Han dogs run even if they can run?

It's no wonder that Dugu Yuhuan is so sure, because the terrain in this area is indeed quite special.

The passage from Zhenlin to Yulin, on the left side is a continuous small mountain range, the slope is steep, except for the river valley on the side of the Yuanyin can be passed, if you want to climb over the top of the mountain, maybe individual people can, but if you want to pass the army, especially the cavalry, it is basically impossible.

And on the right side is a vast desert, the yellow sand is all over the sky, unobstructed, standing on the flat ground can easily see the situation ten or twenty miles away, if there is a slight gathering of soldiers, the smoke and dust caused by it will inevitably rise into the air, so that forty or fifty miles away can be seen......

So Dugu Yu Huan only needs to focus on the front, and now what he is worried about is delaying the time and letting the Han army escape to the Yulin camp, so he basically can't take much advantage.

But I didn't expect the Xianbei army's pursuit to encounter some trouble, and I couldn't get up fast if I wanted to.

Hidden in the messy grass in the east and in the west, the Xianbei pursuers could not find it at all, and when they noticed, it was too late, and more than 20 war horses fell to the ground lame and wailed, and their owners had to endure the pain on their bodies to take care of the horses......

Avoiding the weeds on the road, the result is even more miserable, and if you don't pay attention, you fall into a trap for cavalry, and the semi-deep hole for the horse's hooves is a nightmare, and if you accidentally step on it, the result is even more miserable than stepping on thistle.

Tribulus terrestris only pierced through the horseshoe, and it will be fine if it is lame for a few days, but the horses that step on the small pit of the horse are basically broken legs and feet, even if they are good, it is inevitable that there will be various problems, let alone continue to catch up......

That...... Are you still chasing?

The choice in front of Dugu Yuhuan is like a gambler who has already lost part of his capital, either cut his meat and leave the market now, or continue to add bets......

It's easy to say that you want to cut the meat and leave the scene, but if you really want to do it, it will take a lot of courage and responsibility, otherwise there won't be so many people in the future who will contribute all their net worth to the unknown so-and-so in the four-day limit of thousands of shares......

So Dugu Yuhuan gritted his teeth, chose to make additional bets, and continued to pursue, after all, only by continuing to chase and obtaining the spoils of war can he make up for the losses that have occurred, and can he save face in front of his clansmen, isn't it?

But as the ordinary Xianbei cavalry in pursuit, after seeing the painful lessons of their companions, they had already woken up from the initial excitement and madness, and they had to move forward cautiously, from time to time from the grass or from the open field newly discovered all kinds of traps, so that the more they walked, the more panicked they became, and the more they walked, the greater the pressure on their psychology.

They don't know how many such traps there are, and they don't know when they will appear at their feet, they have chased them for nearly a hundred miles, but they haven't seen the Han army's troops, how long they have to chase after them, and how long they need to walk in this terrain, all this is an unknown.

The Xianbei soldiers are getting slower and slower, the old man of the team wants to be fast, but he can't get up at all, they don't know if Dugu Yuhuan is wrong, the Han army has already run away at all, and all that is left for them is these endless little traps, and they are worried that since the Han army has left these traps, won't they be waiting somewhere in front to ambush them?

The more the Xianbei soldiers thought about it, the more bottomless they became, and they looked at each other, and the speed of their march slowed down more and more......

****************

In front of the Xianbei army, Xu Yucai commanded more than a dozen people to dig traps.

They have a special tool for digging the small pit of horses, a long shovel with only half a hollow iron cylindrical shape, the lower edge is sharp, as long as you stand firm, exert force vertically, and constantly rotate the grip, you can easily cut a round hole in the yellow mud flat ground. This thing is after sniping at the Xianbei cavalry on the Huangcheng River Beach, Zhonglang will order a batch of special tools specially made by the Pingyang Workshop to dig Ma Xiaopit.

Two or three scouts, armed with bows and arrows, sat on horseback, and did not participate in the digging of the burrow, but kept watch from the sidelines, and at the same time shouldered the responsibility of observing the movements of the Xianbei cavalry.

In this kind of relatively flat area, the smoke and dust raised by the large-scale enemy army are easy to find, and they can't cover it up if they want to, only a small-scale manpower like Xu Yu of about ten or twenty years, when the dust raised is not much, will be relatively easy to dissipate in the wind, and will not attract the attention of people from afar.

The smoke and dust excited by the large-scale infantry is gentle and broad, dense and low, while the cavalry is different, the smoke and dust will be relatively high, and because of the characteristics of the war horse automatically following, the smoke and dust will look more concentrated, like a high mountain, slowly advancing.

Experienced veterans can even tell the approximate distance and number of personnel based on the difference in smoke and dust......

"Captain Xu! It's time to withdraw! One of the scouts raised his voice.

"Good!" Xu Yu pulled out the long shovel hard, brought out a long cylindrical earthen pillar, and then broke the earthen pillar into several pieces with one kick, and then flew up a few feet and kicked away at will, the dark dirt blocks rolled over, stained with the floating dust on the ground, and soon there was no too much color difference.

Xu Yu put the long shovel behind him, and while walking towards his horse, he ordered, "Let's go!" All mounted and retreated! ”

The soldiers who couldn't ride horses had secretly evacuated Zhenlin a few days ago, and those who stayed behind were some soldiers who knew some horsemanship, although they couldn't fight on horseback like regular cavalry, but it was not too much of a problem to ride a horse.

"Do you have any other thistles? Just throw a little! While leading the people to evacuate, Xu Yu touched the pocket containing the thistle on the horse's back, but found that it was empty, so he couldn't help pouting and shouted to the men next to him.

"Good! I have one more point! ”

"I'm done!"

The soldiers responded one after another, and a dozen small black dots rolled down from the horse's back, bounced a few times on the yellow earth, and then hid in the smoke and dust......
