Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 601 Robbery and Thief

Cavalry, before the invention of long-range rapid-fire weapons, has always been the king of the plains, but it does not mean that more than two hundred cavalry can unscrupulously attack the assembled battle formation, and the previous Han army has at least a thousand soldiers However, it is not a wise choice to rush into the attack rashly. Since there is a chance to win the victory with smaller losses, why should the lives of his subordinates be wasted in vain?

   After all, the torch is not a long-burning lamp. After burning for a while, it gradually becomes smaller and extinguished. Both sides in the stalemate in the wild fell into the night. Xianbei Qianqichang secretly sent people forward several times, but the people he sent out either screamed or didn't even scream, as if he was swallowed by the devil in the night, and he finally died. He didn't dare to move rashly, so he could only stare at the figures in the darkness, waiting for the reinforcements from the powerful households.

  But the result of waiting almost made Xianbei Qian Qichang lose his head.

In autumn, with the footsteps of the Little Ice Age gradually approaching, the fog in the morning seems to be getting thicker. Although the sky is getting brighter, the sight is still not clear. The rider breathed a sigh of relief.

  Da Danghu naturally had a lot of people, so they immediately dispatched a few hundred teams to outflank the investigation, but it didn’t take long before the people who went to investigate came back dragging an object...

After asking a few simple questions, the big accountant couldn't suppress his fury, so he turned around and lashed Qian Qichang's face with a whip, and immediately whipped Qian Qichang until his skin was ripped apart and blood flowed: "Idiot! This is You idiot guarded the thing all night! Blind your dog eyes!"

  Chief Xianbei Qian saw the straw stick tied into a human shape on the ground, ignored the severe pain on his face and the blood flowing down, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

Da Danghu closed his eyes, resisted the throbbing blood vessels on his forehead that seemed to be about to burst, took several deep breaths before calming down the raging anger in his heart, and opened his eyes. With a single kick, Qian Qichang who was kneeling beside him was kicked down, and he said with a ferocious face: "Go and take your people, and chase after me! If you can't find the trace of the Han dog, you will never have to come back again." ..."

Yes, no matter what, although the Han people have run away now, the traces of those horses will not disappear for a while, whether it is the horseshoe prints, the weeds on the side of the road subconsciously gnawed by the horses, or a pile or two of horse dung , to the people on the grassland, it looks like a gleaming mark, guiding the direction of the horses.

   And in that direction, there must be an army of Han Chinese...

  ×××××××××××××××

In the middle of the night yesterday, in fact, Huang Chengcheng was already arranging for the people to retreat gradually while cleaning up the scouts quietly sent by the Xianbei people. He only brought 500 people with him. Yes, there are only one or two hundred riders on the opposite side, but flaws will definitely be exposed.

   What's more, once you get into a fight, although there are one or two hundred cavalry on the opposite side for the time being, it is not far from the Xianbei camp. What if reinforcements from Xianbei come later?

   Therefore, after a period of confrontation, when the fog gradually rises in the second half of the night, it is the best time to retreat.

  So Huang Chenggong left those dummies with torches behind, and retreated silently in batches.

   About sixty or seventy miles south of Pingding County, there is a river named Kuye River. On the south side of the Kuye River, there is the remains of the Great Wall left by the former Qin Dynasty.

  The Great Wall was not built by Qin Shihuang, but was built earlier.

During the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, the State of Qin defeated the State of Wei and seized the lands of Xihe County and Shang County of Wei State. However, these two lands bordered Linhu and Loufan in the north at that time. When he invaded the south, he ordered the construction of a city wall. Then, the Qin Dynasty aggressively attacked Hu Renyi Canal, made it submit to Beidi County, and the northern border of Qin State was connected with the Xiongnu. In order to prevent the Hu people in Mobei from plundering south, King Qin Zhao ordered the construction of the Great Wall on the northern border of Longxi, Beidi, and Shangjun, and sent troops to garrison it.

Later in the Eastern Han Dynasty, these Great Walls were maintained during the Warring States period, but with Liu Xiu’s establishment of Luoyang, the political and economic center of the entire Han Dynasty moved eastward, which caused the threat of the Hu people to the capital to be less great, which naturally led to these original protections. And early warning facilities were gradually ignored, and even many counties and counties in the northern part of Bingzhou gave up in the end, and these Great Walls lost their meaning of existence. After the wind and rain, no one maintained them. The defense of the Great Wall, which was made of rammed earth, soon declined.

   After Huang Cheng joined Ma Yan and Xu Huang, he came here with the abducted Xianbei war horse.

Although the generation of Pingding County belongs to the unique folded terrain of the Loess Plateau, millions of years of rainwater erosion and riverbed diversion have formed a relatively special geographical shape together with the big river. There is no problem going around, but if you want to go south, there are only three routes that can be provided for the army.

  The other roads are not impossible, but one is difficult. The two do not have the support of water sources, and a long field march is required, which is simply suicide.

So either go east from Pingding all the way, cross the big river directly, and then turn south, but that will be a little far away from Beiqu; River, a bald-tailed river.

  The Tuwei River is further south of the Kuye River. Therefore, as long as Xianbei chooses to go south, he must first pass through the Kuye River...

  The road of sixty miles may take more than a day for ordinary marchers or heavy soldiers, but for people like Huang Cheng who just abducted a lot of Xianbei war horses, it is not a big problem.

   Huang Cheng looked around, and said with some regret: "If these city walls are intact, we can save a lot of things..."

  Ma Yan also looked at it, then nodded, and said in an interface: "How, the Xianbei people should come after them?"

  Huang Cheng was not very sure and said: "It's about the same, it should be possible?"

Xu Huang, who was often silent at the side, suddenly said at this moment: "I will definitely come!" Then he explained slowly in the eyes of Huang Cheng and Ma Yan, "If we are defeated head-on, maybe Not coming, but..."

  Huang Cheng and Ma Yan looked at each other, and suddenly laughed twice knowingly.

That's right, no matter who it is, if they are beaten up by a robber, they may not dare to go to the robber again without help; but what is interesting is that they are stolen by thieves. They will subconsciously grab...

   Zhuge Liang leaned over his desk and wrote a letter: Zhong Da, what are you dissatisfied with about this dress? The fabric and style are not fashionable enough, or is it too long and not hot enough? You tell people, they ask tailors to help you catch up with work overnight! You keep silent like this, the Lun family is panicking...
