Han Dao world

Yan Luo thought so, and so did his subordinates.

It can even be said that every Hun with a normal mind would think so.

Winning the emperor of the Han family at all costs is just a temporary dream of Yan Luo, and it has never been a wise decision.

When the sun rises, all dreams will wake up.

Nightmare, but not necessarily.

Chapter 286

Liu Xie was naturally very happy to easily defeat the Huns.

But don't worry.

For him, defeating the Huns head-on has never been a problem, but how to expand the results is the problem.

Even if you can't cut the weeds and kill them all, you still have to kill the Huns, knowing that you can't easily provoke the Han people.

He has done everything he can, and the next step is to see if he is lucky enough.

If Yan Luo can be killed, half of the battle will be won.

The other half is to see if there are enough spoils captured and whether the tactical concept of supporting war with war can be realized.

Seeing the Huns scattered like birds and beasts, and the battle of armored cavalry was over, they slowly gathered and returned to their positions.

The Habayashi riders took over the battlefield, hunted down the remnants of the enemy, and looked for the Huns' supply team.

The Huns always carried cattle and sheep when they fought.Cattle and sheep are baggage that can move on their own, but their speed is limited, and it is too late to retreat.

In the case of the defeat of the Huns, these were Liu Xie's trophies.

The Huns who lost their supplies would face the possibility of starvation unless they could find alternative supplies.

In the sparsely populated grasslands or even deserts, only a small number of people are destined to find food.After the vast majority of people lost their supplies, they had only one choice to survive: to go to the nearby tribes.

Like just defeating your enemy.

Therefore, the tribes on the grassland split and reunite, like the wind and the clouds, and there is never an end.

Yesterday was a life-and-death enemy, today is a partner fighting side by side, everyone is used to it, and there is nothing wrong with it.

On the battlefield that was several miles wide, people kept gathering to ask for surrender.

Liu Xie ordered someone to take over and interrogated the location of the luggage.

At this time, the scouts who had been on missions with the Huns before came in handy.They are not only familiar with the nearby terrain, but also understand the language of the Huns, and are more proficient in interrogation techniques.It didn't take much effort to ask for the desired news.

Liu Xie set off immediately.

-

A pursuit started along the Yellow River.

Yan Luo hit his horse and galloped wildly, besides a dozen armored cavalry, there were more than a hundred Qingqi cavalry following up one after another.

Jiaqi was the first to show fatigue.

They haven't had a good rest since yesterday afternoon.After nightfall, they drove for more than 30 miles and entered the battlefield.Although they didn't fight for a long time, they were defeated by the armored cavalry of the Han army as soon as they came into contact. They didn't consume much energy, but they couldn't bear the continuous galloping.

The defeat was hasty, without even a replacement horse, and the speed of the armored cavalry slowed down significantly.

Xi Luo very much hoped that the armored cavalry could keep up, at least with a vest.

For the Huns, vests are more precious than war horses.War horses can be replenished at any time, but vests are scarce.

He wanted Jia to dismount from his horse, gather the vests and take them away as much as possible, but found that the Han army was chasing him closely, and he didn't give him a chance to breathe.As soon as the armored cavalry slowed down and were about to change trains, the knights of the Han Army followed up, and cut down the knights to the ground without saying a word.

Yan Luo was so frightened that he had to give up the armor and continue to escape.

Jiaqi, who hadn't had time to change trains, couldn't run anymore, and was overtaken by the Han army one after another.

Someone turned the direction in vain, avoiding the Han army knights.

They unexpectedly discovered that the target of the knights of the Han army was not them, but Xi Luo.

The armored cavalry felt relieved, watching the Han army knight galloping away in front of them, chasing and falling madly all the way.

Soon, the light cavalry around Yan Luo couldn't run anymore.Their load is lighter than that of armored cavalry, but their physical strength is also not small, and they are gradually unable to run.

In the end, except for a few guard knights with better mounts, most of the light cavalry gave up.They reined in their mounts, or dismounted and surrendered, or turned around to meet the Han army knights who were chasing up, buying some time for Xi Luo.

-

Zhang Yang took the lead and rushed to the front.

Although he is much older than Wang Fu, his physical strength is not weak, and his experience is even richer than Wang Fu.

After receiving the emperor's edict, he prepared for the pursuit.He not only distributed the wine and meat rewarded by the emperor to the soldiers under his command in time to boost morale and recharge their batteries, but also specially selected some elites and prepared one man and two horses for them.

The cavalry will have spare horses, but the knights of the Han army cannot be as luxurious as the Huns. One person has two horses or even one person has three horses, and the spare horses are only about [-]% of the knights.

Zhang Yang has a total of more than a thousand riders, and more than three hundred spare horses.

Three hundred cavalry is the upper limit of troops that can finally participate in long-distance pursuits.

Zhang Yang only selected 200 people, [-] of the best knights, equipped with [-] horses.

The wine and meat rewarded by the emperor not only replenished their physical strength, but also boosted their morale.

The two hundred knights were full of energy, staring at Xi Luo.

They will kill anyone who stands in their way.

After chasing them all the way, Zhang Yang personally killed more than ten Hun knights.

-

Wang Fu followed closely behind, his eyes burning with anxiety.

Seeing that Zhang Yang was ahead, unable to catch up, and the distance was getting farther and farther, Wang Fu realized that there was something wrong with his arrangement.

Although there are many troops, the speed is not fast enough.

If things go on like this, it will be impossible to catch up with Zhang Yang, let alone Yan Luo.

If you can't even catch up, what's the point of having more troops?

Wang Fu gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and pointed all the way. "You, you, you, get off the horse and let the horse out."

The pointed knight was at a loss. "Without horses, how can we chase them?"

"Chasing after your old mother." Wang Fu cursed anxiously. "Didn't you see, we can't even see the assholes of other people's horses. Do you want to chase after eggs like this? All those who can't overtake will get off their horses and give up their horses to others."

Those knights became anxious immediately, none of them wanted to get off their horses, and gave up such a good opportunity to others.

Everyone can see that Yan Luo is already a phoenix that has lost its hair, and a wolf without claws. As long as it can catch up, it will be a great achievement.

At this time, who is willing to help others?

Wang Fu scolded until the corners of his mouth were covered with foam, and no one was willing to accept the order.In desperation, Wang Fu had no choice but to say: "If you can kill Yanluo, I will enjoy the title of Marquis of Thousand Households exclusively for me, and everyone else will share the other rewards equally, and then I will give you three years' income from the city as a reward. Hurry up and dismount me, otherwise I will Cut you off first."

The knight who was pointed had no choice but to jump off his horse and give up his mount to his companions.

"Catch more prisoners." Wang Fu did not forget to shout as he galloped forward. "The spoils are all yours."

A dismounted knight spat. "There's a fart's booty, and the Huns are as poor as ghosts."

"Stupid." Another knight chuckled. "Although the Huns are as poor as ghosts, their war horses are valuable. There will still be fierce battles to be fought, and the loss of war horses will definitely not be small. The prisoners are optional, but the more war horses, the better. If you are lucky and catch a few good horses, then But it’s out.”

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." The others gathered together and formed a battle formation as if they had just woken up from a dream.

After being rushed to death by Zhang Yang and Wang Fu, many Huns fell in a pool of blood, and the war horses that had lost their masters stood aside and gnawed grass.These Han army knights quickly gathered enough horses, turned into cavalry, and launched an attack on the devastated Huns.

Chapter 287 Victory in the First Battle

Wang Fu's subordinates came from the three cavalry battalions of the Northern Army: Yueqi Battalion, Tun Cavalry Battalion, and Changshui Battalion.

The cavalry of these three battalions originally came from the vassal state, but after living in Luoyang for many years, they actually became Luoyang people.The hardships and simplicity of the past are gone, but the habit of stealing, rape and cunning is increasing day by day.

Even the selected elites still have no advantage over the real Hun knights.

If the numbers were equal and the two armies faced each other, they might not have the courage, let alone a chance of winning.

But the situation is different now, the Huns have been defeated, and even Yan Luo himself has become a bereaved dog, chased by Zhang Yang and Wang Fu, and the tribe is about to be defeated. Where there is fighting spirit to speak of.

Facing these knights of the Han army who were eager to make a fortune, the Huns had no desire to fight at all, and they left immediately.Before even making contact, seeing the knights of the Han army approaching aggressively, they turned around and left.

Fighting depends on morale.

When morale is high, usually weak chickens can become fighting cocks.

When morale is low, real wolves will run away with their tails between their legs, and those with insufficient strength run as fast as rabbits, lest they be caught up and lose their lives.

This is the current portrayal of the knights and Huns of the Han army.

The knights of the northern army, who usually had no status among the three thousand elite knights, suddenly became invincible and strong, their mentality almost exploded, and they were even a little lonely.

It was not only the hundreds of knights whose horses were temporarily taken away by Wang Fu, but also the knights who did not follow Zhang Yang and Wang Fu to pursue Xi Luo were almost the same.They used 200 people as a unit, and under the leadership of Qu Junhou, they chased death and chased north, killing wantonly.

According to the prior arrangement, they did not forget to rob the goods while killing people.

War horses bear the brunt of the strategic material, and they should be grabbed as much as possible.The arrows of the Huns are also good and can be used as a supplement.Some horn bows are exquisitely made, not weaker than the standard war bows of the Han army, and they are also collected together.

There are people who are greedy for money, their eyes are wide open, and when they see the Huns who are dressed a little more politely, they will chase after them and chop them.After chopping it down, search the whole body up and down, inside and out.

Although most of the Huns were poor, the nobles of the Huns were not.The knights of the Han army often had unexpected gains, and some valuables such as gold and jade were seized.

Along the way, Liu Xie saw several knights of the Han army smiling with the spoils they had just collected.

He pretended not to see it.

Of course, these knights were not the mighty teachers he expected, but everything had a process.Now that the imperial court is so impoverished that they can't even get the reward money, if they are not allowed to search for some loot, does it really depend on enlightenment?

It's a long road, don't rush.

Hu Chuquan and Aiken who accompanied him were heartbroken.

Some of the spoils looted from the Huns were originally Shan Yuting's property.

But they dared not say a word.

The law of the jungle was originally the law of survival on the grassland.Now that they are living under the fence, they can't even quell the internal rebellion. They can only rely on the strength of the Han people, and how dare they compete with the Han people for spoils.

-

In the evening, Liu Xie rushed to the hiding place of Yan Luo's logistics troops.

This is a valley in the desert. A tributary of the river passes through the desert and wets a long and narrow valley.

Large tracts of cattle and sheep wander on both sides of the river, leisurely.

The Huns who were in charge of guarding the cattle and sheep did not wait for the order from Yan Luo, but waited for Zhang Xiu and Yu Linqi who were like wolves and tigers. There was almost no substantive battle, and these Huns surrendered.

Since the Han people appeared here, Yan Luo was naturally defeated, and there was no point in resisting.

Anyway, they are all slaves, and it may be more comfortable to be slaves of Han people.

When Liu Xie rushed to the valley, Zhang Xiu had already ordered the Huns to kill cattle and sheep, and was ready to celebrate.

Looking at the cattle and sheep all over the mountains and valleys, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief.

With these cattle and sheep, the combat time can be extended by at least half a month.

Just after dismounting, Liu Xie received another piece of good news: After nearly a hundred miles of chasing, Zhang Yang maintained his advantage to the end, cut off the head of Xie Luo, and was on his way back.

Feeling relieved, Liu Xie exchanged glances with Xun You and smiled knowingly.

Pei Jun and the others were not so deep in the city, and cheered excitedly. Even Cai Yan showed a bright smile, and his steps became much lighter.

Killing Xi Luo is equivalent to annihilating the right part of the Xiongnu.

The first battle was won, and it was a victory that exceeded expectations. Anyone who heard it would be excited.

"Servant, please walk with me." Liu Xie said.

Xun You bowed to accept the order. "Dare not to obey."

The two arched their hands and walked slowly along the river.The breeze was blowing from the northwest, blowing away the smell of blood and livestock in the valley, making it much fresher.

"Next step, where should we hit?" Liu Xie asked.

"I think you should go to Meiji."
