Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 593 Traffic Flags of the Han Dynasty

  For the sake of safety, Da Danghu used 1,000 cavalry to attack the abandoned dock with only 300 guards.

  The result was not beyond the expectations of the big household. This batch of goods that was said to be transshipped from Pingding County was finally obtained.

   Cloth, tea bricks, well salt and other sundries were piled up in the entire cart, and Hu was very happy to see it.

  Although only eighteen trucks were recovered, the other two were burned.

As soon as the soldiers guarding Wubao saw Xianbei's figure, they ran away. Although they could still chase after them, these damned Han dogs actually set the truck on fire, scaring the Xianbei cavalry to swarm up and beat them. Two vehicles were burned, but fortunately the other vehicles were not affected.

  However, because of this, he missed the time of pursuit and failed to kill a few Han dogs.

  For this problem, the big household doesn't care at all, he pays more attention to the goods! It is a commodity that is lacking on the grassland!

The big pawnbroker took out a piece from the tea brick cart, broke off a pinch and put it in his mouth, chewed and nodded in satisfaction, and immediately ordered people to pull all these valuable carts outside the city. In the camp, and announced on the spot that these materials are considered to be shared, and they will be distributed uniformly after the battle is over.

The big household did this, although they still said they wanted to share, but they didn't count the number, who knows how much was divided in the end, so Jiege Baichang was inevitably a little unwilling, and when he rolled his eyes and was about to say something, Suddenly a Xianbei scout rushed over and said that a group of Han cavalry with more than a thousand people came from the south, and it was about to reach forty miles!

  Da Danghu glanced at the baggage carts being pulled away, and thought, these Han cavalry are here to pick up these baggage carts, right? Fortunately, I was one step faster, otherwise, if I want to eat the thousand Han cavalry, I will definitely lose some manpower. How can it be as easy as it is now?

  ×××××××××××××××

The Gobi Desert in Mobei only has various exposed stones, and the soil has been transported and settled by tens of millions of years of wind, and has accumulated into a strange land like this. It has become large and small gullies on the loess land.

  Ma Yan led a team of cavalry and ran along the folded valleys on the Loess Plateau, stirring up yellow dust all over the sky, and closely behind Ma Yan were about 3,000 Xianbei cavalry.

  Ma Yan looked up at the mountains in the distance.

   Well, a green flag, the distance is still safe.

"Command, slow down the horse!" Ma Yan ordered. After all, horses cannot gallop at high speed for a long time, which will quickly consume the horse's stamina. Run for a while, slow down a little and take a rest to cool down the blood of the horse. That way it lasts longer.

The armor of the Han cavalry led by Ma Yan is relatively heavy. Under the long-distance running, the consumption of horses is naturally greater than that of the Xianbei people with light armor or even no armor. However, the problem is that the Xianbei people are not very familiar with the path and environment in this area. , so I didn't dare to chase at full speed presumptuously, so the distance was still opened up a bit.

After chasing for more than ten miles, the more than 3,000 Xianbei cavalry slowly stopped when they saw that they could not catch up with anyone. Feeling somewhat hopeless, he turned around and prepared to go back.

  On several mountaintops in the distance, seeing the yellow dust stirred up by the Xianbei cavalry behind Ma Yan walking back, they all raised blue flags by coincidence.

   Seeing this, Ma Yan ordered the whole army to go around the valley, and followed the Xianbei's buttocks not far or near, neither going forward to fight, nor keeping a distance.

  The Xianbei cavalry was furious when they saw this, turned around and chased after him again, and Ma Yan immediately turned around and ran away with the troops...

   After coming down again and again, the Xianbei cavalry began to set up an ambush, preparing to kill the desperate Mayan troops.

   But such a move could not be hidden in the eyes of the soldiers on the top of the mountain in the distance, and they raised red flags one after another. The special terrain of the Loess Plateau, when a large group of people move, there will be yellow dust all over the sky, and there are so many folds between each other that some places can be passed directly, while some places are 100-meter-deep ditches. It's very close, but you have to take a detour.

  Ma Yan received a warning from afar, and relying on the Bingzhou people in the team to be familiar with the terrain, several times the Xianbei people wanted to divide their troops to encircle them, but were blocked by a deep ditch, and then it was worth watching Ma Yan walk away under his nose...

   Just as Ma Yan was circling with three thousand Xianbei cavalry in the southeast direction, another scout report was received in Datanghu in Pingding, and another thousand Han cavalry came from the east!

   It is extremely embarrassing for the big household now. It is not true to divide the troops, let alone not to divide the troops.

  Hanqi is not a soft dough, you can knead it however you want.

The pawns of the Han army are really ignored by the big pawns. Anyway, the two short legs of the Han dog will be useless after a few laps. Qian Hanqi is completely different.

The equipment of the Han cavalry is strong, and the armor and swords are very hard. To face a thousand Han cavalry, at least 3,000 cavalry must be sent, but in this way, only about 4,000 cavalry are left. In his hand, if there is another Han army in some place, what should he do?

  But if the 1,000 cavalry from the east join the Han cavalry from the south without dividing the troops, then the 3,000 cavalry I originally sent out will definitely be in danger...

After thinking about it, Da Danghu decided to send 3,000 cavalry to intercept the Han cavalry coming from the east, and 2,000 people to garrison, and then led 2,000 people to the south to meet up. After finishing the Han cavalry in the south, Then turn around and go to meet the incoming soldiers from the east.

   Although the idea is good, by the time Da Danghu led his soldiers to join the cavalry in the south, Ma Yan had already led his men away.

After receiving the report from the cavalry chief Qianchang under him, the big household was also terribly isolated. This behavior of beating and not beating, running and not running, just walking around, let alone ordinary Xianbei people, even Big households who have experienced many battles have almost never encountered...

  What do these Han people want to do?

The big household who was baffled by Mayan's actions couldn't help feeling a little suspicious. Although he knew that Hanqi had been running for a long time now, the horsepower must be exhausted, and the people he brought now were new forces. If you can catch up, at least you will gain some gains, but...

  Seeing that the sky was getting darker, and there was still a troop to the east that hadn't been resolved, the big household thought about it again and again, but gave up this somewhat tempting idea, and led the troop to turn around and head east.

   As a result, Da Danghu didn't go far to the east, when he saw a burst of yellow dust rising in front of him, and ran into the defeated Xianbei cavalry head-on...

   Xiongnu, Xianbei, Dingling, Turks...

   In fact, they are all amalgamations of different tribes produced on the same piece of land...

   So they can also be called Mongolian ethnic minorities...

   Of course there are other departments...

   Just like Dongyi, Wuhuan, and even the later Jurchen...

   There are Di, Qiang, Tibetan...

   Probably, anyway, the author thinks so...
