As soon as Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he heard Gao Xiu say, "Look at it!" ”

There was no need for Gao Xiu to remind, Zhao Junsheng also saw that the Rouran cavalry with about one tooth was galloping towards this side, and it seemed that it was brought by the two Rouran scouts who fled back.

"Let's go!" Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and left with Gao Xiu and the scout team, he didn't choose to fight hard, although with his and Gao Xiu's riding and archery skills and martial arts, he was not afraid of this one-toothed Rouran cavalry, but there was still a team of scouts around him, and it was inevitable that there would be damage in the battle.

Zhao Junsheng and the others quickly disappeared on the small hill, and the Rouran cavalry rushing towards this side thought that they were going to escape, so they immediately beat their horses and sped up.

The Rouran cavalry rushed up from the bottom of the hill under the leadership of the two scouts, and just halfway through the rush, they were hit by several waves of arrows, and the Rouran cavalry was caught off guard, losing more than a dozen people in a few breaths.

Zhao Junsheng alone shot six of them, and he kept pulling his bow and releasing arrows one arrow after another, and the series of actions of taking arrows, winding them, pulling the bow, and releasing arrows almost formed an afterimage.

The losses of the Rouran cavalry were too great, and they couldn't rush up because they were blocked by an unknown enemy on the top of the mountain, and the rest of the people stopped and turned around and retreated, losing another seven or eight people in the process of retreating, and the one-toothed Rouran cavalry had already accounted for two-thirds of them on this hillside when they escaped from the range of Zhao Junsheng and others' bows and arrows.

When he saw it, he accepted it, Zhao Junsheng left with Gao Xiu and the others without hesitation, "Wait until the Rouran people's brigade kills them, and they can't withdraw if they want to, so withdraw quickly!" ”

More than a dozen people immediately mounted their horses and ran in the direction they came, and by the time more than a hundred Rouran cavalry appeared on the hill, Zhao Junsheng and the others had already disappeared.

Previously, when the scouts sent by Tuoba Jian discovered the army of Pi Lixian, in fact, the Rouran scouts also found those Wei army scouts, but they ran fast, and the Rouran scouts gave up after tracking for more than 20 miles, and it was too far away from the team to lose contact, and they would not be able to get timely rescue in case of danger.

And this time, more than a dozen unidentified scouts appeared, and they probed so closely, which attracted enough attention from Pi Lixian, and after learning that the cavalry sent out by one tooth had been wiped out by two-thirds, he immediately sent another one over.

"Centurion, you see this is the arrow they left behind!" A Rouran cavalryman came over and handed him an arrow.

Hu Hehan took an arrow and looked at it, and said with a solemn face: "We are in trouble!" ”

After thinking for a moment, he instructed a tooth master beside him: "You take ten people to follow, don't be careless, this group of scouts is very powerful, if you can not fight, you will not fight, once you find that they have signs of attack, they will withdraw immediately, I only need the whereabouts of their team, understand?" ”

"Yes, Centurion!" The tooth lord agreed, and beckoned ten Rouran cavalrymen with strong combat power to track in the direction where Zhao Junsheng and the others disappeared.

"The others come back with me!" Suddenly, Hehan greeted him, turned around and ran down the hill to the group of men and horses.

When he caught up with the team, he ran to Pi Lixian's side and caressed his chest and reported: "Tong Lifa, we are in big trouble, look! After speaking, he handed over a Wei army arrow.

Pi Li took the arrow first and looked at it, his face changed greatly: "This is the arrow of the Wei army!" Those Ranger Scouts just now were Xianbei people? ”

The Han people's smelting and casting technology is by no means comparable to that of the Rouran people, this arrow is well-made at a glance, its arrow is sharp, this arrow is prismatic, in addition to the blades on both sides, there are armor-piercing edges, and its arrow shaft is very straight, uniform thickness, the tail feathers are neatly cut, evenly arranged, no more, no less.

"It should be a Xianbei person!" Hu Hehan's face was still solemn and he replied.

Pi Li first looked at the arrow and said, "The person who shot this arrow must be a person with status, not an ordinary ranger scout, you can see by looking at the arrows and arrow feathers, where can ordinary Xianbei soldiers use such sophisticated arrows?" Don't talk about arrows, just talk about this arrow feather, which is made of bird feathers, and there are more than a dozen feathers of a water bird! ”

Obviously, Pi Lixian is also a master of archery, so he naturally knows what kind of feathers are used to make arrows with high accuracy, and the arrows that use feathers to make arrow feathers are the most accurate.

Hu Hehan stretched out his hand and pressed his chest and said, "My subordinates have sent a team of people to track down the Xianbei people, but I don't know if they can find out the location of the other team!" ”

Pi Lixian was a little worried, he went to celebrate his mother's birthday, this trip brought a lot of congratulatory gifts and a large number of cattle and sheep, this is already the fastest marching speed, if it is faster, the cattle and sheep will not be able to keep up, without cattle and sheep, the sons and daughters will have nothing to eat.

"Send more rangers to guard around the army, be vigilant, don't let the enemy take advantage of the loopholes, and report the people sent to track down as soon as they have news!"

"Yes, Lifa!" Kuhehan agreed, beat the horse and left.

Zhao Junsheng ran back with Gao Xiu and a team of scouts, and the team of Rouran cavalry that was tracking them had all been killed, and none of them ran away, so he guessed that the Rouran people would not stop like this, and they would definitely send someone to track them, so they didn't go far at all, they hid nearby, and by the time the tracking team of Rouran cavalry found out that something was wrong, it was too late, they were blocked back, and they were suddenly attacked, and they were all shot before they even had time to counterattack.

The eleven war horses that lost their owners were gnawing on the weeds on the grass, Zhao Junsheng beat the horses and stopped next to the corpse of the Rouran Tooth Master, picked up the corpse with a spear and looked at it, he raised his hand and beckoned: "Soldier head, come here!" ”

The scout soldier ran over with his head and clenched his fists and said, "Dutong? ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "I deduce that they will definitely send out ranger scouts to find this group of people again soon, and continue to explore the location of our camp!" You ambush here and kill the rangers they send, and then you are only responsible for keeping an eye on Pirison's brigade, finding where they are camped before dark, and leaving a vague mark for us to find! ”

The head of the scout promised: "Yes!" ”

"Let's go!" Zhao Junsheng greeted Gao Xiu, and the two of them galloped quickly in the direction of the camp.

Back at the camp, Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xiu jumped off their horses, lifted their cloaks and approached the camp tent, and Gao Xu, Cao Jiao, Pei Jin and others immediately rushed over when they heard the news.

"How's the investigation?" Gao Xu asked.

Zhao Junsheng pouted at Gao Xiu, and Gao Xiu informed several people about the investigation.

After hearing this, Cao Jiao hugged his fist to Zhao Junsheng and asked, "Dutong, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Junsheng took the teacup and drank it slowly, thinking in his head.

After a long time, he put down his teacup and instructed Pei Jin: "Now that we have enough horses to consign all our supplies, you go and prepare, bring 200,000 arrows, half a month's worth of food, wounded medicine, and knives, guns and spears to replenish!" We must leave the camp and rush to the front of the army of Pirixian, and give you an hour to prepare!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go" Pei Jin quickly left after surrendering the camp.

Zhao Junsheng instructed Gao Xiu, Gao Xu, and Cao Jiao again: "You also go to prepare, mobilize the soldiers, and set off in an hour!" Cao Jiao, you left 500 foot soldiers here to take care of the belongings we left here! ”

"Yes!" The three of them clenched their fists and agreed to turn around and leave in turn.

Zhao Junsheng made arrangements and immediately rushed to the Shuai tent to ask to see Tuoba Jian.

Tuoba Jian saw him coming over and asked, "Junsheng, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists and said: "Lord Wang, I personally led people to investigate the army of Pi Lixian, they have 12,000 cavalry, more than 30,000 horses, and more than 100,000 cattle and sheep!" The lowly man plans to leave five hundred people in the camp, leave here with all the others, and find another place to stay! ”

Tuoba Jian frowned and said, "Why did you do this?" What if the location of our camp is discovered by the Rouran scouts, and you leave with the soldiers and horses, how to fight in order to stay in the morale of the promised horses? ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "The prince is too worried, the soldiers are just demoralized, which is not good for taking the initiative to fight, but if the enemy army attacks, can the soldiers still wait for death?" ”

"It was also carefully considered to send the men out to find another place: first, to prevent the soldiers of our battalion from being infected with the disease; Secondly, our departure will divert the attention of the Rouran people, since our army is responsible for dragging down the army of Pi Lixian, we must not have contact with the battalion, otherwise it will be easy to lure the Rouran people over when transporting grain, grass, arrows, weapons and other baggage, and only by acting alone can we ensure the safety of the battalion! ”

"In addition, the prince must also urge the military medical officers and medical craftsmen to speed up the preparation of prescriptions that can treat this epidemic, we can't be trapped here by this epidemic all the time, and we have to rush to join the army of His Majesty the Emperor in the Khan's Court!"

"Good!" Tuoba Jian promised, "You go, this king will urge them to speed up the progress!" ”

After an hour, more than 3,000 cavalry and more than 4,000 infantry of the baggage battalion, a total of 8,000 men and horses, were all ready, and a large number of horses and supplies were also ready.

"Qi Qi is all in charge, everyone is ready, ready to go at any time!" Gao Xiu came over to report to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the 8,000 men and horses, and instructed Gao Xu, Cao Jiao, and Pei Jin: "The three of you will take the infantry and baggage and the extra horses to camp next to Hongyan Lake, and Ben Dutong and Gao Xiu will take the cavalry to deal with the army of Pi Lixian, and they will send people to contact you at any time, you must be on guard on the periphery of the camp, go!" ”

"Yes!"

Gao Xu, Cao Jiao and Pei Jin quickly left with 4,000 people, although these 4,000 people were infantry, they all rode horses, followed by nearly 20,000 horses, half of which were carrying materials on their backs.

"Let's go too!" Zhao Junsheng and Gao Xiu rushed to the general direction of Pi Lixian's army with more than 3,000 cavalry.

By dusk, the two of them had returned to the location where they had killed the Rouran Ranger Sentinel, and Rouran's corpses had increased to a dozen, but among the corpses were two of their own scouts.

"Dutong, it seems that they left after killing these Rouran rangers, and there is not much time left until dark, shall I follow the marks they left behind, or will we camp here for the time being?"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while and made a decision: "Set up camp here, send a few people to follow the mark to find the scout team, and come to report immediately after determining their location!" ”
