Seeing that there were more than a thousand Kui Huan troops chasing out of the camp in front of him, Liu Xiu shouted: "Kill it!" ”

More than 2,000 Han troops led by Liu Xiu rushed forward with all their might.

The Kui Huan army in front was originally pursuing Lu Jinbu, but when they heard the movement from behind, they looked back and found that another Han army had emerged in their camp.

Because it was late at night, the Kui Huan Army didn't see how many people there were in this Han army, they just thought that they were stragglers who had fallen behind, and they didn't pay much attention to it.

The Kui Huan army turned around and returned to meet the Han army's counterattack.

But when the two sides handed over, the Kui Huan army realized that it was not the case at all, where was this Han army stragglers, its battle was fierce, and its combat power was so strong that it was even better than the Han army that had just broken through its own company camp.

The battle between the two sides did not last long, and the more than 1,000 Kui Huan troops were defeated by the Han army, and after more than half of the casualties, the remaining soldiers had no fighting spirit and fled in all directions.

After defeating this group of Kui Huan army, Liu Xiu did not immediately lead his troops to leave the Kui Huan army company camp, but stopped here at Yuanmen to the east of the company camp to block the follow-up Kui Huan army from leaving the camp.

Some of them were close and naturally fast, while others were far away and much slower, so that the army did not rush over at one time, but came one by one.

This gave Liu Xiujun the opportunity to hold back the enemy army.

The two thousand Han troops led by Liu Xiu were blocked here in Yuanmen, and the Kui Huan army rushed up, and they worked together to repel a group, so the chaotic battle lasted for more than an hour, and finally there was no Kui Huan army to take the initiative to attack again.

Liu Xiu felt like a mirror in his heart, he didn't need to check, the chief general of the Kui Huan Army must be gathering all the troops and horses, preparing to make a joint attack on his side.

Feeling that he had been broken for a long time, Liu Xiu decisively ordered the whole army to retreat.

The 2,000 Han army has only suffered more than 200 casualties in the battle until now.

With Liu Xiu's order, the Han soldiers withdrew from Yuanmen and quickly retreated to the east.

As soon as they left on their front feet, the main force of the Kui Huan Army chased them out.

This Kui Hustle army, with 20,000 people, chased after the Han army's buttocks.

Liu Xiu didn't pay attention to it, took his soldiers under his command, and rushed forward with all his might.

The Han army ran in front, and the Kui Huan army chased behind, and the distance between the two sides was not narrowed, but was getting farther and farther away.

The chase between the two sides lasted from the second half of the night until the sky turned white.

After running for so long, the soldiers of the Han army were exhausted and out of breath.

Liu Xiu slowed down and deliberately landed at the end of the line, he looked back and looked back, and he couldn't even see the shadow of the pursuers.

Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked Long Yuan to pass the order down, and wait for the scouts to find a water source, so that they could rest.

After another quarter of an hour of running, a scout returned with a fast horse, and to the northeast of the front, there was a small river.

After Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately led his soldiers to the northeast.

After running out for about five miles, I saw a small river, almost three or four zhang wide, the river was not deep, and the most central place was no more than a person's knee.

When he arrived here, Liu Xiu ordered the whole army to rest temporarily.

Finally able to stop, many Han soldiers were directly paralyzed on the ground tired, not wanting to move.

After resting for a while, the soldiers of the Han army walked to the river one after another, lying on the riverbank, and their heads were directly immersed in the river.

Luo You took the water bladder, picked up a full bag of water in the river, brought it to Liu Xiu, handed it to him, and said, "Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xiu took the water bladder, first poured a small half bag of water with a clatter, and then poured the rest of the water directly on his head.

After running so far, even Liu Xiu was tired and covered in sweat.

After pouring most of the water in the bag, Liu Xiu felt more comfortable, he shook the water stain on his head, returned the water bladder to Luo You, and thanked him.

Luo You took the water bladder, went to pick up the water again, and then handed the water bladder to Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao and others.

Watching her pick up water, send water, and then receive water, and then send water, Liu Xiu couldn't help but shake her head and smile, Luo You, a little person like a little person, has really good physical strength, as if he never knows how to be tired.

After resting for only a quarter of an hour, Liu Xiu stood up, slapped his face, and said loudly: "Okay, I see that everyone is almost resting, get up and continue to hurry!" ”

There was a sigh from the scene, where they had almost rested, they couldn't wait to lie here and never leave.

Seeing that the soldiers were not in a high mood and got up slowly, Long Yuan walked up to Liu Xiu and said loudly: "Your Majesty, let the brothers rest again!" ”

Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said unhappily: "We can stop here to rest, but will the enemy stop the pursuit because we are tired?" ”

His words shocked the soldiers of the Han army, and the speed of getting up was obviously much faster.

Liu Xiu and Long Yuan glanced at each other, and there was a tacit smile in their eyes.

Next, Liu Xiu took the Han army, waded through the small river, and continued to hurry.

After running for more than an hour, there was a scout report in front of him, and his side was only ten miles away from the main army.

Liu Xiu thought about it for a moment and ordered the soldiers to rest in place.

People sat down, their heads drooping, beads of sweat dripping down the tips of their noses and chins, and the ground under almost everyone's feet was wet.

Liu Xiu took out the map and unfolded it to look at it carefully.

Now they are only two days away from Sanfu, at best.

In two days, they will be back in Sansuke.

After putting away the map, Liu Xiu smiled at the people around him: "It only took us half a day to finish the usual whole day!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and no one was embarrassed to answer, muttering secretly in their hearts, Your Majesty, this doesn't seem to be a glorious thing! After reading the map, Liu Xiu was about to sit down and rest, when he suddenly felt the ground trembling slightly under his feet.

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then frowned, bent over and lay on the ground, his ears on the ground.

Seeing this, Long Yuan and the others were also shocked, and they all fell to the ground one after another, listening attentively.

After a while, people raised their heads again, and Long Yuan was surprised: "Your Majesty, is it the main force of the enemy army that has caught up?" ”

Long Zhun's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "How can the speed of the enemy army be so fast! ”

The two thousand soldiers on their own side are all the elite of the elite, most of them are Yu Lin Lang, Yu Lin Army, Tiger Ben Army, and Ben Ming Lang, and now even they are exhausted, and the enemy army of 20,000 people can still catch up?

Liu Xiu muttered solemnly: "Listening to the voice, it doesn't look like an infantry!" ”

His words made the faces of everyone present change again.

When people were looking at Liu Xiu blankly, a scout galloped over from behind, and when he got close to Liu Xiu, he turned over and dismounted, intervened to give a salute, and said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, ride ...... Cavalry! The enemy cavalry is catching up! Xiliang Iron Ride! ”

Hearing the word cavalry, including Liu Xiu, people gasped.

No wonder the enemy army can catch up with their own side, it turns out that all the cavalry is coming! It seems that Lu Jin really guessed correctly, near Fuxiang, there are indeed hidden enemy troops, but what he didn't guess is that the hidden enemy troops are all cavalry, Xiliang Iron Cavalry! Liu Xiu asked with a solemn face: "How many horsemen are there in the enemy?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, no less than 10,000 riders!"

The scout said in a trembling voice.

No less than 10,000 rides! Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao were all nervous, and they all looked at Liu Xiu, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, there are too many enemy cavalry, and we only have 2,000 soldiers, and they are not the opponents of the enemy. ”

Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "If our army is hidden, what will happen to the more than 10,000 soldiers in front?" ”

"......" None of the three of Long Yuan spoke.

If more than 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry were allowed to catch up with the more than 10,000 soldiers led by Lu Jin, then this battle would only turn into a massacre.

People looked at Liu Xiu with blank eyes, and the latter only groaned slightly, and shouted: "Our task is the queen of the palace, since we are the queen of the palace, we must not let this cavalry follow the main force of our army!" All the soldiers, follow me to meet the enemy! ”

The soldiers of the Han Army, who were originally resting, did not say a word, they got up one after another and quickly arranged into a rectangular formation.

Shield-wielding soldiers stood at the front, followed by three rows of spearmen, followed by crossbowmen and archers.

Liu Xiu walked to the front of the camp, looked around at the soldiers present, and said loudly: "In this battle, our army is 2,000 against 10,000, and it is infantry against cavalry. ”

None of the nearly 2,000 Han troops retreated, and people shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is here!" I'm waiting! ”

Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "You must understand that choosing to fight this battle is equivalent to giving up the chance to live to others!" ”

The soldiers of the Han army shouted in unison again: "Your Majesty is here, I am waiting!" ”

Liu Xiu nodded, no more words, he walked up to a soldier with a shield, took the shield in his hand, and then took his place and stood at the front of the team.

The soldier was stupid, standing behind Liu Xiu, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Luo You, Long Yuan and the others came to Liu Xiu together, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is too dangerous!" ”

Liu Xiu said: "Two thousand soldiers, do you see that one person is afraid of danger? ”

Long Yuan and the others looked at each other, and without saying a word, each took a shield and stood on either side of Liu Xiu.

Luo You was also going to get the shield, but the back of the neck that Liu Xiu grabbed by the collar, took it back, shook his head and said, "Go back!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Luo You was about to speak, but Liu Xiu said categorically: "Go later!" ”

With your small physique, you still want to be in the front row, and the cavalry will charge into battle, and you will not be knocked out.

The Huns feared and hated the two Han armies the most, one was the world-famous Youzhou Cavalry, and the other was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with the same name as the Youzhou Cavalry.

These two cavalry are simply a nightmare for the Huns.

The Xiliang horse, also known as the Xiliang horse, is larger and more stout than the Youzhou horse.

At that time, the equipment of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was even better than that of the Youzhou Cavalry, mainly because the war horses were equipped with leather armor, which made the defense of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry much higher than that of the Youzhou Cavalry.

As soon as the Han army had completed the formation, they saw a 'sandstorm' blowing on the horizon ahead.

A large area of dust flew up and floated into the air, obscuring the sky and the sun, and it was really like a sandstorm.

When many Han soldiers saw such a scene, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands.

The advantage of cavalry over infantry is too great, and when the strength of both sides is equal, the cavalry is completely crushing the infantry, not to mention, now they are fighting with 2,000 infantry against more than 10,000 cavalry.

Seeing the 'sandstorm' coming from their backs getting closer and closer, the ground under people's feet was no longer trembling slightly, but trembling violently, and at the same time, the rumbling and muffled thunder came from far and near.

There is no need to fight, and the feeling of oppression brought by the cavalry charge alone is enough to make people feel frightened.

Liu Xiu licked his somewhat dry lips, drew his sword under his ribs, swung it forward, and shouted loudly: "Positioning arrows-" As he spoke, an arrow with a red ribbon flew out from the Han army, drawing an arc in the air, and nailed to the ground with a thud.

The location of this arrow was about a hundred paces away from the Han army's camp.

Not long after, another arrow tied with red silk flew out, and with a bang, it was also nailed to the ground.

This arrow was only fifty paces away from the Han army's camp.

When the enemy crosses the first arrow, they are within range of the archer, and when the enemy crosses the second arrow, they are within range of the crossbow arrow.
