Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 827 The Wind on the Prairie (4)

More than a dozen Xianbei scouts spread out and marched southward in formation. Every time they reached a slightly higher slope, they deliberately hid under the **** carefully, and then got off their horses and lay down on the ground. Dirt slope, hiding in the grass and looking around.

  The captain of the Xianbei scout who led the team was in a hurry. The scouts had been damaged too much during this period of time. Every time they went out to investigate, they actually risked their lives. They didn't know if they could go back after they came out.

The veterans in the tribe have already worn out a lot. Now the captain of the scout was still a big soldier before, and now he has been promoted to be the tenth cavalry commander, but he is not at all happy, because the things under his command are actually pieced together from various tribes. , and not much actual combat experience.

  A Xianbei scout recklessly popped up in the grass, and was immediately kicked by the ten cavalry commander and fell to his knees. The captain of the ten cavalry gave this reckless guy a hard look: "You have long legs! Why do you think your head is not big enough? Do you know how many people have died in front of you? If you want to find death, you can do it yourself, don't drag me and other people !"

   Once the chief ten riders got angry, the rest of the Xianbei scouts didn't dare to say anything. They jumped off their horses obediently one by one, and looked around on the **** with their heads shrunken.

A Xianbei scout was taking off the water bag from his body. He wanted to drink some water, but he looked up involuntarily. Said: "...People! Han people! I see Han people!"

The Tenth Rider suddenly turned his head, his neck made a rattling sound, and at the same time he also saw the figure on the opposite slope, obviously the personnel on the opposite side also spotted them, and immediately rushed out a few horses from the opposite grass slope. The war horses galloped here: "It's the scouts of the Han people! The three go back to report! The others follow me!"

  Normally, when a scout meets a scout, unless the other party doesn't notice, otherwise they will choose to fight a wave when they light up each other like this, and then try to intercept the other party's report.

After the ten cavalry commander finished speaking, he was about to ride downhill to intercept the Han cavalry, but when he turned his head, he saw that almost all his men were pale and at a loss, and his heart suddenly turned cold. To fight against the elite soldiers of the Han people?

   Is this situation still a man on the grassland?

  The ten cavalry commander lamented and changed his order: "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" Immediately, he led his men and fled back on horseback in a panic before the Han scouts could catch up.

   Fortunately, the Han army reconnaissance cavalry did not mean to chase after them. After chasing for a while, they slowed down their horse speed and went back...

   "The Han army also appeared here?!"

  Dugu Yu Huan almost frowned when he received the latest information from the scouts.

  The Han army seems to be everywhere, both in the east and west, not to mention the south of course, the Han army is divided into three routes?

  Where did the Han army get so many cavalry?

The three sides are plagiarized, based on the calculation of about 3,400 per road, there are at least 10,000 on the three sides, and the combination of the Han army and the Southern Huns who have just fought a battle, there are at most 7,000 left to fight. It's just cavalry, unless the Han people have the supernatural powers of bringing the dead back to life, not only can heal wounded soldiers, but also quickly restore war horses...

   Or could it be that the Han Chinese received new reinforcements from the south?

  People are possible, there are many Han people, there is no way to do this, but what about horses, how can there be so many horses, can they fall from the sky?

   Or are they just purely scaring our suspects?

  What exactly are the Han people going to do?

  Dugu Yu Huan called his two personal guards and said, "You two each bring twenty good soldiers, and immediately let me know the situation of the Han army in the east and west directions!"

  The night gradually fell, and when the howling of wolves sounded one after another in the distance, Dugu Yuhuan's personal guards had already quietly touched the place where scouts said they encountered Han people at noon.

Lying in the grass at the top of the slope, looking into the distance, in the night, you can see bonfires scattered all over the place, just like the stars in the sky falling into the grassland. beauty.

   "...This... Is this the Han army camp..."

  The camp of the Han army stretched for several miles, and these Xianbei scouts were so shocked that they could hardly say anything...

The cavalry camp is completely different from the infantry camp. The cavalry camp pays attention to an unobstructed, extending in all directions, and the surrounding patrol and defense circle is much larger than that of the infantry camp. Moreover, the horses can also undertake part of the awakening role at night, as long as they are The war horse has changed, and there is naturally a situation.

"Twenty, thirty...fifty...one hundred and twenty..." As the number of bonfires was counted, the expressions of these Xianbei scouts became worse and worse. I really don't know how many big Han soldiers and horses are coming here to oppress Chaoyin Mountain!

  Can Yinshan still hold on?

   "...Did you see the banner?" Dugu Yuhuan's personal guard said under his breath.

   "No...the Han army...there are so many people..."

   There was a silence.

  In the past, when they went south to burn, kill, and rob, they always thought that the Han people were easy to bully. Many people realized at this time that the Han people are actually not weak...

   "Hey, what are you up to?"

  Dugu Yuhuan's personal guard said in a low voice: "I'll take a few people to have a look..."

   "You are crazy! If you go any further, you will enter the range of the patrolling cavalry!"

  Dugu Yuhuan's personal guard was silent for a while, and then said: "...I know, but I always feel a little weird... It's been so long, there should be a cavalry patrolling the camp, but..."

   "...well, be careful..."

  Dugu Yuhuan's personal guard nodded, then bent down, and led a few people to touch the front half lying down and half crawling...

  The few remaining people waited anxiously, as if they had been waiting for a lifetime, and finally saw a few figures returning quietly.

   "Fake it! It's fake! It's all fake!" As soon as they met, Dugu Yuhuan's personal guard couldn't help cursing, "These cunning Han dogs! They're all fake!"

   "What fake, are these bonfires fake?"

"Yes! No! The fire is real, but the people around the bonfire are all fake! Dummy!" Dugu Yuhuan's personal guard said angrily, "There are not so many people in Hangou at all! The dummy is just enough! There are even no dummy next to the bonfire!" Anyway, if you want to pretend, you should do a good job, but you can't even pretend, which really makes these Xianbei people very angry.

"fake?"

"fake!"

  A feeling of being completely fooled crawled into the hearts of these people. This group of damned Han dogs dared to lie to us!

   Historically, the tribe of Xianbei lost its dominance over the grassland after Sinicization...

   Replaced by Turkic...

   Li Tang, in fact, many of them are of Xianbei blood...
