Of course, Ma Yu knew that if he was blocked by the Dai army in the mountain road, he would be dead, so he yelled at the horse thieves left and right: "Run." Then he swung the bronze sword in his hand and stabbed the horse in the rump.

The horse was in pain, and immediately let out a violent scream, and suddenly spread its limbs and galloped wildly, increasing its speed to the limit. And Ma Yu was caught off guard for a while, and almost fell off the horse's back, but he soon fell on the horse's back, grabbed the brown fur of the war horse with both hands, and galloped wildly with the war horse.

Sure enough, before the Dai army blocked the Jiashan Road, Ma Yu rushed out of the Jiashan Road with some horse thieves, and then immediately scattered left and right, running towards the two mountains.

This army is the representative army that entered the big cottage of horse thieves, and after they killed the cottage, they found that the horse thieves had abandoned the village and fled, so they left the infantry to guard the cottage, and the cavalry then pursued, and Li Yinghong flanked the horse thieves before and after.

Although Ma Yu led some of the horse thieves to escape from the Jiashan Road, most of the horse thieves were still blocked in the Jiashan Road, and the contemporaneous army divided some men and horses to pursue the horse thieves who escaped from the Jiashan Road.

The horse thieves blocking the mountain road naturally have nowhere to escape, and there is a horse thief who still wants to resist stubbornly and kill a bloody road, but how are they the opponents of the Dai army, and they were soon beaten by the Dai army, and the corpses were all over the place, and the remaining horse thieves saw it, and they didn't dare to resist anymore, so they had to throw down their weapons and raise their hands to surrender.

The battle ended quickly, Li Yinghong ordered the soldiers to tie up all the horse thieves who surrendered, and collect the corpses to clean up the battlefield, and the cavalry of the Dai Army who pursued the horse thieves also turned back one after another, and also chased and killed some horse thieves, but dozens of horse thieves still escaped.

After the identification of the captured horse thieves, it was determined that there was the head of the horse thief leader Zhao Ping in the body, while the other leader, Ma Yu, was missing. However, Li Yinghong also knew that it was unrealistic to completely wipe out all the horse thieves left, and it was a very good result to be able to kill a leader, almost wipe out the horse thieves, and capture the three stockades of the horse thieves.

In the end, after counting, a total of 1,129 horse thieves were killed and 833 captured, while the Dai army itself only suffered 6 casualties and more than a dozen wounded, which can be said to be a complete victory. In addition, although this group of horse thieves only worked for more than a year, they also accumulated a lot of money and materials, and they got more than 1,500 horses alone, as well as gold, copper coins, grain, cloth, and other things. There are quite a few of them.

Although the current Daijun is also a big business, the little thing that the horse thief saved is nothing, but it can be regarded as a gain, so Li Yinghong ordered all the corpses to be buried on the spot, and ordered people to transfer them back to the horse thief cottage respectively, collect all the money, materials and other things in the cottage, pack them and bring them back to Daijun, and then set fire to all the three cottages.

Two days later, the three Dai soldiers burned down the horse thieves' cottages, and then joined forces together to escort the horse thieves' captives and captured horses, money, materials and other goods back to Dai County.

Although the scale of this battle is not large, this is the first time that Li Yinghong has independently planned and commanded a battle when the plateau is not in Daijun, so Li Yinghong is also very excited, and he talked and laughed with Han Xiurong and Wu Hongya along the way.

After walking for about half a day, I saw several cavalrymen who were responsible for exploring the road hurried back, with a suspicious face, and after seeing Li Yinghong, he immediately said: "Madam, wolf, there are wolves in front, as well as leopards, bears, and tigers." ”

Li Yinghong was stunned for a moment, and said: "What are you afraid of if there are wolves, bears, tigers and leopards, it's not that you haven't seen it, where are you?" Let's go hunt a few of them, and we'll all have game to eat tonight. Because it is indeed a common thing to encounter wild beasts such as wolves, bears, tigers and leopards on the grassland, Li Yinghong did not take it to heart.

The soldier shook his head and said, "It's not one or two, but many, many, hundreds?" ”

Li Yinghong was a little surprised, and said, "Is it a wolf pack?" ”

The most terrifying thing in the grassland is the wolves, as few as hundreds, as many as nearly 10,000, once they encounter prey, the wolves are almost invincible, even if it is a fierce beast like a bear and tiger, it can only retreat. If you encounter a large wolf pack, even a smaller tribe will not be spared, and almost no people and animals will survive wherever the wolves pass, and they will all die in the wolf's belly. And the most terrifying thing is that once you are targeted by wolves, you will be stalked, sometimes chasing thousands of miles. Therefore, although the vast majority of steppe tribes use wolves as the totem of their tribe, they also talk about the wolf pack changing color.

However, there are more than 20,000 troops in the Dai army, and they are well-equipped, equipped with a large number of bows and arrows, and throwing guns, which are not comparable to ordinary small tribes, so although Li Yinghong was surprised, he was not very afraid.

Then the soldier shook his head again and said, "It's not wolves, but leopards, bears, tigers, and people." ”

Li Yinghong frowned and said, "What kind of mess, let's make it clear." ”

As he was talking, he saw a commotion in the front team, and many war horses neighed in horror, and there was a faint sound of wolves and beasts.

Li Yinghong changed color slightly, and immediately said: "The infantry dismounted and lined up, ready to fight." ”

So the horn sounded in the formation of the army, the infantry dismounted, and the spear and shield soldiers stepped forward to hold up their big shields, the tips of the bottom were inserted into the ground, and the spears were set up, forming a wall of spears and shields that was more than 200 paces long. The crossbowmen also took their ties and stood behind the spear and shield men, and the other swords, shields, spears, and halberders also took their positions, while the cavalry retreated to the flanks and rear of the infantry.

The whole process only took a few minutes, and the 3,000 soldiers of the front army were lined up and ready for battle.

And Li Yinghong looked at it on horseback, and saw that about 200 steps in front of him, there were indeed hundreds of wolves, tigers, and leopards advancing towards his side, but the beasts were at peace with each other, and there was no fight with each other. And among the beasts, there were also many knights, all of whom wore blue-gray cloaks, covering their whole bodies, and even their heads were covered with hoods. Some people also drove away wild beasts with long forks in their hands, and it seemed that these beasts were tamed by these people.

Li Yinghong immediately said: "Put the positioning arrow." ”

When the archer received the order, he immediately raised his longbow diagonally, pulled the bowstring, and shot the arrow.

I only heard the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air, and between about seventy and one hundred steps in front of the Dai army array, a thorny arrow was immediately inserted.

In fact, at this time, the beasts did not enter the range of the bow and arrows, this round of arrows, only to give the other party a warning, the intention is to tell 60 the other party, do not move forward, in addition, if the other party does not listen to the warning, insist on moving forward, then this round of arrows can also play a role in positioning, to help the soldier judge whether the other party has entered the range.

Sure enough, as soon as the arrow was fired, the beasts also stopped and howled at their side.

Li Yinghong was about to send someone forward to ask who they were, when he saw a yellow horse leaping out of the crowd among the beasts and trotting over to the side of the army.

Because seeing that the other party only had one person and one horse, it was obviously not going to fight, so Li Yinghong did not give the order to release the arrows.

I saw that the knight came to a place more than fifty steps away from the Dai Jun array, immediately stopped his war horse, and shouted loudly: "May I ask if you are the army under the command of Dai Jun Wu Anjun?" ”

A few soldiers immediately replied loudly at Li Yinghong's signal: "Yes, we are Wu Anjun's army, who are you?" ”

When the man heard this, he immediately said: "That's good, we are from the Bailing clan, and we are from the clan of Yun Yao, the wife of Wu Anjun, and we are called Fengqi, and we have been to Daijun two years ago, I don't know if any of you still remember it." As he spoke, he removed the hood, revealing a head of silver-white hair.

Hearing him say this, Li Yinghong suddenly remembered that more than two years ago, Gao Yuan led an army to attack Yinshan, rescued several Bailing people from the Xiongnu camp, and brought them back to Daijun.

Originally, Yun Yao was very happy to see his clansmen, and according to what the people of the Bai Ling Clan said, now the Bai Ling Clan is facing the disaster of extermination, and only Yun Yao can save the Bai Ling Clan, so I hope that Yun Yao can return to the Bai Ling Clan with them.

But because the Bai Ling clan has a tradition of not intermarrying with foreigners, and Yun Yao has the special abilities of both healing and beast training, he is a rare Zhu Shi in the clan, according to the habits of the Bai Ling Clan, he should be married to other male Zhu Shi, so that the probability of the offspring born will be much greater. But Yun Yao was unwilling to give up her marriage with Gao Yuan, and suspected that Feng Qi and the others were trying to trick themselves back into the Bailing Clan, so there was some estrangement between the two sides, so Yun Yao also refused to go back with them.

Later, Feng Qi and the others had to return to the clan by themselves and report to the Great Zhushi, and Yun Na, another girl from the Bailing clan in Feng Qi's party, also stayed in Daijun because of her love for Ling Feng and did not go back. This Feng Qi was the leader of that group of people at that time, and Yun Na's aunt Yun Juan.

Unexpectedly, more than two years have passed, and the White Spirit Clan has come to Daijun again, and this time there are many more people than the last time. However, although there were some suspicions last time, after all, they were Yun Yao's clansmen, and Yun Yao still had feelings for them, so Li Yinghong didn't want to be rude, as for the tradition of the Bailing clan not intermarrying with foreigners, it was naturally handled by Yun Yao, and Li Yinghong did not interfere more, so he immediately asked the soldiers to invite Feng Qi to come to the formation to speak, and ordered the soldiers to flash out a passage to let Feng Qi pass guò.

Seeing that the Dai Jun gave way to a passage, Feng Qi immediately rode his horse into the Dai Army's array, but after Feng Qi passed Guò, the array immediately closed, and the Dai Jun resumed his solemn appearance, after all, the other party's frame is indeed a little scary, who knows what will happen to these beasts, what if they suddenly go crazy, so the Dai Jun does not dare to be careless.
