In the wilderness outside the city of Wuding, the sun is setting.

Cheng Lian's 100 cavalry stood out, wrapped a Hun ranger with the momentum of the encirclement, and after a short exchange of troops, it flowed away like flowing water, leaving only the sparks splashed by the torches on the wasteland and the magnificent and mournful war horses, and the Han cavalry rushed to the next Hun soldier unabated.

The figure of the Han cavalry on horseback flickered forward and backward, Cheng Lian held an iron spear in one hand and a long rope sleeve in the other hand, the other side of the rope sleeve pulled straight to the ground, strangled the Hun soldiers to plow a ravine in the grass, the rope was put around the neck so that the Huns could not even shout, and the two hands scratched fiercely on their necks, but with little effect. After a while, the cavalry behind caught up, and the short body of the wrong horse hid in the belly of the horse, and the hundred long bodies of the Huns remained in the wasteland with a flash of the sword, and the head was dragged away by Cheng Lian and tied to the horse's back.

With a few whistles, the horseback cavalry put their swords into their sheaths and took out their strong bows.

"This is the cavalry of the Han Army?" Yan Beili looked south at the head of the city, and listened to Gao Shun's head holding the fire on his side and responded solemnly: "Cheng Lian's subordinates are soldiers who went north to Jizhou with General Lu. ”

The war between the Han and the Xiongnu has been going on for a long time. The Han people, who were not brave and good at fighting, suffered a lot in the first decades of this war, and in the early years of the founding of the Han Dynasty, they were far less brave than the Qin people in the past. The state of Qin was probably the most powerful population in this land, and even the Huns at that time could not bargain in their hands. But the Han people were different, the fall of the Qin state lost too many treasures, and at the weakest moment of the country, even Emperor Gao was besieged by the Huns in Baishan Mountain for seven days and seven nights.

But the Huns still lost, why?

Yanbei on the city of Wuding found the answer at this moment, for four hundred years, in the forefront of the Han and Xiongnu conquests, they dedicated their lives to the war generation after generation, and now the Han'er of Bingzhou is more Xiongnu than the Huns!

The rain of arrows poured over the Hun ranger front that could not flee, the horses fell and the people were suppressed, and the Huns could no longer stand up when the hooves of the Han army passed, leaving only those headless corpses with nowhere to cry.

The wasteland was full of the horns of the Huns, and in those low and long trumpet sounds, Yanbei heard their panic.

Fierce and weak, it seems that at this moment in the state of the state dropped a child, drinking horse's milk and eating mutton for this hundred cavalry Han army and desolate, the Huns formed a huge ring formation, wandering around the Han cavalry for a moment, the commander will shoot arrows to the Han cavalry, the left and right arrows swarm.

Cheng Lian's cavalry suffered casualties, and led the troops into the nearest Xiongnu ring formation, like jackals biting the tails of sheep fleeing indiscriminately, and nibbling away.

The Huns could shoot on horseback, and so did the Han army, and even the cavalry of the Han army with bilateral stirrups shot more accurately. In the early days of the war, the Han was not as strong as the Xiongnu, the horsemanship was not as superb as the Xiongnu, and even the archery was not as accurate as the Xiongnu. However, any border provocation only takes time for the Han State, and as long as the Han State with a huge population has the courage to fight, it can always make up enough cavalry, have enough excellent marksmen, and even successfully compete with the grassland barbarians.

This plunder did not last long, when the sky was about to be completely dark, the city gate was opened, enough strong crossbow shooters were planted between the three bases, and Cheng Lian, who had gained a lot, led nearly half of the cavalry team to return to Wuding City, and the Hun soldiers who pursued it were met by the crossbowmen of the Han army, and the Hun soldiers who left a hundred and ten corpses outside the city gave up the pursuit, and retreated three miles to Wuding City with a hateful gaze.

This was a hearty escape from death for Cheng Lian and his subordinate Bingzhou riders, and after entering the city, the bearded Bingzhou man looked up and laughed, quite relieved, and threw the mount to the man in the stable, and carried the rope on the horse's hip to tie a head to lead the soldiers to find the chief secretary of the army.

Fifty-three cavalrymen successfully entered the city, twelve of them were wounded, and the heads of the Huns they carried piled up a hill in the city of Wengcheng, and seventy-four Hun heads with hideous eyebrows.

This is about a third of the Hun soldiers who really died at their hands.

There is no doubt that it was a big win. The Hun soldiers who were wandering out tonight would eventually find the corpses of the Han army, which were only a quarter of their casualties, and Yanbei, who had set up a banquet in the city to celebrate his success, could imagine how Luan Tihu Chuquan would be like thunder tonight.

The more he laughed, the angrier he became, and even more!

"Da Sima, the Southern Xiongnu tribes are scattered sand, as long as they rush at them like this a few times a day, it won't take a few days to have no intention of fighting. Tu Ge was much more difficult to deal with than the Southern Xiongnu. ”

In the past, Yanbei sneered at Cheng Lian's tactics, but now it seems that this is not the case, at least in the battle with the Southern Xiongnu, these people in Bingzhou know better what the Huns are afraid of, and Yanbei has always been able to listen to the advice of others, when he heard Cheng Lian's advice, he did not sit down and decide, but asked Gao Shun, Wei Xu and others, and after getting the same answer, Yanbei had the idea of attacking the enemy.

"Captain Wei, when the Huns relax their vigilance later, please lead the troops to attack them again...... Are your soldiers familiar with night warfare? ”

Wei Xu heard that Yanbei wanted him to fight, his expression was calm, and he immediately received the order to go to select the soldiers who charged with him, Yanbei stopped him and said: "In addition to the Bingzhou soldiers of the headquarters, bring a little Jizhou soldiers, and have the right to train soldiers." ”

Wei Xu nodded and took the order, Yanbei didn't mean anything else, his subordinates were full of more than 200 people under Gao Shun's subordinates, and only these generals had 100 horses as personal guards, and the number of Jizhou soldiers was much more, and there were many casualties when they went to charge into battle, so they couldn't let these Bingzhou soldiers with sufficient experience be killed and wounded after a few days of rushing into battle, and they all made the merits of the generals, and these old soldiers could return to Jizhou to teach soldiers and horses in the future.

Only by being in this group can Yanbei feel how strong Lu Bu was back then. The most striking feeling is that a tiger leads a pack of wolves, and even if the tiger is gone, the wolves are still sharp.

At least in the rush action, they are still sharp.

But when it comes to leading troops, they are far behind. The soldiers and horses camp in the city outside the city, Yan Beili observed the generals' camp at the head of the city, from the inside to the outside, and the camp of the generals except Gao Shun was extremely messy, Dian Wei's camp was slightly stronger, and Xu Huang was born in the Baibo Army, but his camp in the third base outside the city can be called a model of soldiers and horses, and it is even stronger than Lu Yi in governing the army.

Everyone has their own strengths, Xu Huang and Gao Shun can be leading generals in the future, and generals like Cheng Lian and Wei Xu can only be their lieutenants.
