The cooks gave priority to preparing dry food and drinking water for the soldiers of the [-]th cavalry. After they finished eating and drinking, they prepared dry food and drinking water for the next three days, and brought tarpaulins, blankets, weapons, bows and arrows. People rode one horse and led two horses for assembly.

Before setting off, Zhao Junsheng waved to Li Bao, and Li Bao brought a birdcage to Gao Xu.

Zhao Junsheng said: "This is the messenger eagle. I will give it to you. If you are attacked by the Rouran people and you think you can't resist it, write a distress letter and put it in the bamboo tube of the eagle's feet." , just let it fly out, it will find me!"

In fact, Zhao Junsheng did this just in case. Gao Xu has 2000 elite cavalry here, while Mo Gu Zhengxiong now only has about 500 in his hands. In the case of a head-on confrontation, Mo Gu Zhengxiong can be said to have no chance of winning.

Gao Xu took the birdcage and promised: "This subordinate obeys!"

Zhao Junsheng stepped on the horse, took the cold iron gun from Li Bao and nodded to Bai Jinguang: "Let's go!"

Bai Jinguang raised his hand and waved forward: "Let's go!"

For twenty miles, for a cavalry army with three horses, each cavalry should not be too close. Zhao Junsheng did not order the soldiers to deliberately hide their whereabouts and reduce the movement of the march, so the army is still far away from the camp of the Rouran people. It was noticed by the Rouran people when it was ten miles away.

"Shuai Qu, the 1000 troops of the Wei army are coming towards our army, they must have guessed our location!" The general reported to Mo Gu Zhengxiong.

The Rouran people are eating. They got enough sleep last night and are full of energy. Even if they go into battle at this time, they will not suffer a loss.

Mo Guzhengxiong slowly stood up while nibbling on the jerky. He swallowed the last bite of the jerky and ordered: "The messengers retreat immediately!"

The general couldn't accept it, "Shuai Qu, we have more people than them, why should we retreat? Just fight them directly!"

Mo Gu Zhengxiong was furious: "You are stupid, their camp is only twenty miles away from here. Once we are entangled, we cannot end the battle quickly. Once their reinforcements arrive, we will not be able to leave if we want to! Stop talking nonsense, Send the order immediately!"

The general was scolded for a while before he realized that his vision was still too short-sighted. No wonder he could only be a general, while Mo Gu Zhengxiong could be the leader.

"Yes, this subordinate will go immediately!"

After the assembly horn sounded, the Rouran people stopped eating and assembled quickly.

Before Zhao Junsheng arrived with his troops, more than 500 Rouran cavalry retreated northwestward under the leadership of Mo Gu Zhengxiong.

Zhao Junsheng reined in his horse and stopped, jumped down to observe the horseshoe prints and several piles on the ground.

He got up and said loudly: "The Rouran people haven't gone far, let's chase northwest!"

After finishing speaking, he got on his horse again, "Follow me, march fast, and catch up with them even in the sky and on the ground!"

Bai Jinguang shouted an order: "Pursue to the northwest!"

After the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the army quickly moved away, leaving behind a lot of horseshoe prints and horse dung.

On the way of pursuit, Zhao Junsheng found that the Rouran people kept changing their marching direction. At around [-] o'clock in the morning, Zhao Junsheng led the team to chase to the foot of a mountain. The Rouran people in front were only less than two miles away from them. They had already seen Rouran. Ran the tail of the cavalry.

"Bai Jinguang, did you find anything?" Zhao Junsheng asked loudly as he bumped on his horse.

Bai Jinguang clasped his fists and said: "General, these Rouran people are going around, I almost fainted, they seem to be leading us around!"

"That's right, they are leading us around in circles! Pass the order down, increase the speed again, and catch up with me and beat their tails!"

"As ordered!"

As the marching speed of Zhao Junsheng's team increased, they were getting closer and closer to the Rouran people.

"Shuai Qu, if this continues, we will be overtaken soon, why not turn around and launch a counterattack!" The general suggested to Mo Gu Zhengxiong on the bumpy horseback.

Mo Gu Zhengxiong turned his head and saw that the Wei Army cavalry was too close. It was too late to attack even if they turned around. Wei Army was chasing and they could attack directly, but the Rouran cavalry could not. It's too late, I'm afraid they will be dispersed by Wei Jun cavalry before they line up.

"No, it is absolutely impossible to turn around and attack, the distance is too close!"

The general said anxiously: "Then what should we do? We can't be chased all the time, we only have two horses, they have three horses, we can't outrun them!"

Mo Gu Zhengxiong thought for a while, and quickly ordered: "Pass my order, everyone disperses and flees to the surroundings, and gather at the camp of the main force of the Wei army before sunset today!"

"Yes!"

As the order was issued, the Rouran cavalry broke up into pieces and ran for their lives in various directions, and dispersed in a crowd.

Zhao Junsheng and Bai Jinguang who were chasing behind saw this scene, and Bai Jinguang shouted: "General, the Rouran people scattered and fled. Now we can't catch up even if we want to. How can we chase?"

Zhao Junsheng reined in his horse and stopped, took out the map and looked at it. A smile quickly appeared on his face, and he gave an order to Bai Jinguang: "Send the order, and attack the fleeing Rouran cavalry with teeth as units and the fastest pursuit speed." Hunt down, kill as long as you catch up, leave no prisoners, kill as many as you can hunt down, before sunset today, all the fangs are still gathering here!"

"As ordered!"

Mo Gu had a good plan to fight for supremacy. If the other leading generals encountered this kind of fleeing, they really had no choice but to give up. But what he was facing was Zhao Junsheng and the cavalry he had trained.

The enemy broke up and fled, so he chased and killed them. He knew that the Rouran people must have not arranged a tactic to join forces and defeat them one by one in a hurry.

If it were Zhao Junsheng and his men who were hunted down, before he gave the order to break up and disperse, he would definitely make arrangements to quickly gather somewhere and use superior forces to defeat the pursuers after dispersing.

This kind of tactic has not appeared at least in this era. If Zhao Junsheng has not encountered the situation of being hunted down, he does not intend to use it, because this kind of tactic is too lethal to the enemy for cavalry. Cavalry has been in the hands of barbarians for most of the dynasties.

Zhao Junsheng knew where Mo Gu Zhengxiong would choose to assemble his team just by looking at the map. Within a radius of tens of miles, he could only camp at the location where the main force of his subordinates camped the night before. Get water there.

The sun gradually turned to the west, and at dusk, groups of Wei cavalry began to return to gather around Zhao Junsheng. Some of the returned cavalry were intact, and some lost a few soldiers.

When it was dark, those who should come back came back, and those who couldn't come back were carried back by their companions on horses.

"General, everyone is back. We have lost more than 50 brothers. According to the head count brought back by the brothers, we have killed more than a hundred Rouran cavalry in total!"

Zhao Junsheng's face was serious, and he ordered: "An hour's rest time will solve all the eating, drinking, and messing around. After an hour, we will go to Mo Gu to fight for the supremacy!"

Chapter 438

As night fell, cold winds blew up.

Mo Guzhengxiong was still standing on the edge of the woods, looking forward to see more Rou Ran Erlang come back here to meet.

But he was disappointed until it was completely dark and there were only more than 600 riders who came here to meet up.

As night fell, the chill swept across Mo Gu Zhengxiong's body and heart. More than 600 people scattered and fled in just one afternoon, but only more than [-] people came here to meet up according to the prior agreement. What about the remaining [-] people?

The answer speaks for itself!

"The rest of Shuai Qu are afraid that they won't come, and they won't be able to come!" The general came to Mo Gu Zhengxiong's side.

Mo Gu Zhengxiong took a deep breath, turned and said to the general: "This time we met a terrible opponent and we lost! Immediately send my order, everyone get on horseback, leave here and go back!"

"Go back... Go back? Where?" The general asked in surprise.

Mo Gu Zhengxiong turned to look at the general: "Go back to the tribe!"

Without any nostalgia, Mo Gu Zhengxiong withdrew with the remaining [-] riders and retreated to Mobei. He walked very unwillingly but not at all sloppy.

Not long after Mo Gu Zhengxiong and his troops left, Zhao Junsheng and his troops arrived nearby. Instead of leading a team to kill them hastily, he sent a few spies to smear and investigate.
