The three thousand five hundred ghost riders quickly left a battlefield full of corpses, and behind them was a thick smoke of gunpowder caused by the burning of the grain straw, which was the fifth time that the ghost rider had helped Beimang light the "wolf smoke" outside the mouth of the gourd.
As many as 14,000 people were killed, and nearly 200,000 cattle and sheep were scattered.
The northernmost part of the horse's hoof footprints of the ghost horse, in fact, has stepped on the territory of Longjiao Prefecture, and then quickly went south, just now this battle, is no longer the initiative of the ghost horse, but the interception of Beimang, Beimang is equivalent to using the life of two thousand mediocre rangers to determine the location of this elite ghost horse, in order to compress the room for the ghost cavalry to toss and turn, I believe that soon the main cavalry of Longjiao Prefecture will hear the wind and move.
Yu Luandao was on the way to retreat, suddenly raised his head, and saw two birds chasing quickly in the sky, at the same time, Xu Fengnian pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver, pulled the bow like a full moon, the arrow slowly shifted with the rapid flying of the Hai Dongqing and the Beimang peregrine falcon, when the peregrine falcon was forced to lower its height and fall to escape, bang, Xu Fengnian shot an arrow, shooting the peregrine falcon on the spot, the huge inertia knocked the peregrine falcon into the clouds, and the handsome six-year phoenix was then raised, and everyone saw this Hai Dongqing piercing the sky, Rushing towards Xu Fengnian, it hooked the body of the peregrine falcon pierced by the arrow with both claws, gently threw it down, and after circling a few times above the owner's head, it disappeared in a flash.
Xu Fengnian threw away the corpse of the peregrine falcon and put the feathered arrow back into the quiver that hung on the left side of the saddle.
Liang crossbow is well-made, but after a big battle, the heavy crossbow is often overwhelmed, and it is still easy to damage a large number of them, although the light crossbow carried by the ghost rider is more resilient in the number of uses than the heavy crossbow, but after five cavalry battles, whether it is the crossbow itself or the crossbow arrow, there is not much left, so it has to be replaced with those Beimang riding bows captured after the war, Xu Fengnian and Yu Luan Dao both used an iron tire bow with a strong Xishu craftsman brand.
Yu Luandao looked around, worried, if it wasn't for the fact that he could still fight to support the war, and even without the follow-up troops of Beimang to encircle, his own cavalry army would have really collapsed, before Jizhou ran for five hundred miles, not that the sturdy cavalry could not carry it, even if it was already a person and two horses at that time, but the war horse was still very miserable, and the long-distance rush pursued the speed and surprise of the soldiers, but since it was a "long distance", then the cavalry could be supported by his resolute character, but the war horse was not, especially this season was not the season of autumn high horse fat, The horse fat is insufficient, and the horse officials of Beiliang Ranch are not immortals, and they can't change this reality.
Later, after a little rest, it was a hurried 600 miles to the outside of the gourd, fortunately, there were collected Beimang war horses to minimize this invisible battle damage, and the five cavalry battles that could be transferred continuously on a large scale and the gap was short enough to be enough, even if the war horses could still be rotated, but at this stage, it had become a cavalry that "rushed from one battlefield to another" could not bear it, the reason why it had not yet revealed significant fatigue Yu Luan Dao subconsciously glanced at Xu Fengnian, who was dressed in armor and military uniform, and Yu Luan Dao retracted his gaze, Turning his head to look at the faces around him, this young master general was full of pride, 10,000 phantom horsemen could fight to this point, even with the cold temperament of Yu Luandao, he still felt proud enough.
It is not uncommon to kill more than 14,000 enemies, and the cavalry troops escorting heavy grain and grass in Beimang are all second- and third-rate combat forces in the border towns of the Southern Dynasties, and there are two cavalry battles from contact to finishing, which are simply one-sided massacres.
But this supply line between Longjiao Prefecture and Hulukou paralyzed most of them, and finally involved the passive transfer of the elite cavalry on the border of at least 10,000 Beimang, giving them thousands of horsemen to lead their noses in circles, which is the greatest achievement of Yu Luan Dao and Youcai.
On the way south of the cavalry, Xu Fengqing, who had earlier escorted the wounded cavalry away, said in a young voice: "Our bow is too tight. ” Yu Luandao nodded and said: "Now the difficulty is to find a place to stop, since the two young generals in the east who are known as the two bowls of autumn and winter have also opened the army, it is impossible for us to retreat to the east."
What's more, the prince also said that the spy report has shown that Yang Yuanzan ordered Hong Jingyan to lead half of the Rouran Iron Cavalry to withdraw from Hulukou to block our southbound route. ” Yu Luandao looked to the west, and went to the west to be the northern line of Liangzhou, where the main army of Beimang, commanded by Dong Zhuo, the king of the Southern Courtyard, was there, and was launching an offensive against Hutou City, with a total of 700,000 troops on both sides.
Going there is really a net to send people to the Beimang barbarians, not to mention the remaining 3,500 horsemen, that is, 35,000 horsemen, without the premise of their own army, it is not enough for the Beimang to make dumplings.
Even if Yu Luandao encounters those two bowls or Hong Jingyan's Rouran Iron Cavalry, even if the entire army of the Ghost Cavalry under his command is killed, he will not go west.
Xu Fengnian also looked to the west, as if waiting for someone.
Xu Fengnian is waiting for the leader of the horse thieves, Song Min'er, who is a thousand horse thieves who have been brought together under the secret support of the emperor, may not be able to change the overall situation of Youzhou, but after all, it can help Yu Luandao's Youzhou cavalry to breathe a sigh of relief.
Youqi is like an exhausted martial arts master at the moment, if you take a new breath, you can fight again, if you can't even change this breath, then you can only run out of oil.
The reason why Xu Fengnian didn't say it was not because he had a small calculation to surprise this cavalry army, but because he didn't dare to have too many expectations for Song Mink, who only had one side, if it weren't for the fact that Song Mink'er horse thieves had Beiliang masters lurking in the team, Xu Fengnian wouldn't even let Song Mink rush to lead the way, put himself in Song Mink'er's position and consider the problem, who did a thousand horse thieves take refuge in Beimang Now the situation is firmly in the upper hand, if Song Mink is against him, take 3,500 Youzhou cavalry to be a vote, Yang Yuanzan, who was tossed by Yu Luandao's cavalry, was probably not stingy with a commander.
Even in Xu Fengnian's opinion, if Song Min'er, who was originally from the Southern Dynasty scholar clan, didn't think about it at all, and stood on Beiliang's side from beginning to end, it would be a strange thing.
As for the truth, Xu Fengnian had to meet with Song Min'er's messenger to judge, once Song Min'er didn't dare to come in person and was not in the team, then Xu Fengnian could only regard this chess piece as a discoloration.
Then Yu Luan's knife and the ghost horse with no way to retreat are destined to only fight to the end with two big bowls or Rouran Iron Horse, and he Xu Fengnian will also go to find Song Mink single-handedly, since he can let Bei Liang let Huangfu bring Song Mink to dominate the horse thief forces outside the pass, he Xu Fengnian can also take it back with his own hands.
It is better to give hope and then disappoint than not to say anything at all.
Xu Fengnian asked, "How many scouts are left of Fan Fen?"
Yu Luandao said bitterly: "The original scout veterans are now less than sixty people, and more than 800 horsemen have been replaced one after another, so that the number of 400 scouts can be maintained.
Therefore, it can be said that Fan Duwei's losses are the heaviest, and there is no way to do it, fighting outside the pass, as a scout, he will definitely die at the forefront. ” Yu Luan pursed his chapped lips, a smile appeared, and he said in a hoarse voice: "But after our battles, we didn't fight in vain, the three thousand five hundred horsemen have improved a lot compared to before they left Youzhou, as long as we breathe a sigh of relief, we can completely ease up, and we dare to say that we can win."
Before this, who in Youzhou, which is only known for its footmen, would have such an idea, if these 3,500 people can return to Youzhou alive, it will definitely be of great benefit to the entire Youzhou war situation. ” The deputy generals Shi Yulu and Su Wenyao both had subtle expressions and did not dare to talk, they were afraid that Xu Fengnian would misunderstand the words of the main general, and mistakenly think that the ghost rider was complaining about the embarrassing situation in which he was in a dead place.
Yu Luan Dao suddenly laughed, and said happily: "Give us this trouble, not only is the Longjiao Hexi Orange Sanzhou hurt the muscles and bones, and the vitality is greatly damaged, I am afraid that the northern grassland will continue to cut the meat, and the Tuoba Bodhisattva who finally suppressed it before may start to move again."
They originally had objections to hitting Beiliang first, in the eyes of these guys who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, no one is happy to gnaw on a place where there are only hard bones and no fat on their bodies, where can they compare to Jizhou, where the army is empty, as long as Jizhou is passed, it is a fertile land of thousands of miles of rich Central Plains, countless gold, silver and population, and they are soft.
Otherwise, it is okay to fight the two Liao, once and for all, as long as Gu Jiantang is defeated, it will be a long drive south, and the soldiers will come to the city.
On our trip to Hulukou, we don't say how many enemies we killed, we will definitely make Dong Zhuo and Taiping Ling, who insist on going to Beiliang first and then seeking the Central Plains, hate it so much, maybe they are jumping to scold people at this moment."
Su Wenyao is looking down to check the arrows clustered in the quiver one by one, all of them are hardwood heavy rods with careful texture, and the arrows are very heavy, but there are still some slight differences compared with the Beiliang arrows, but they generally belong to a class of arrows, which is like the two "close relatives" and many bows and arrows in Liyang can be described as two diametrically opposed types, the latter is heavier on the range of fire rate and adheres to the "three strikes on the enemy" in the ancient military book, this is not that the latter has taken a fork in the road, but the inland war is mostly infantry against infantry soldiers, The advance speed is naturally slower than that of the cavalry charge.
In fact, the Beimang cavalry did not embark on this extreme road at the beginning, but it was seriously affected by the better ironclad Beiliang in the twenty-year confrontation, otherwise with Beimang's superb cavalry and archery, against most of the other Liyang border troops, many times they could fly kites and consume people to death.
Su Wenyao casually threw away the two arrows with a trace of cracks in the shafts, and after hearing the humorous words of the main general Yu Luandao, he laughed softly, raised his head and said: "Those are not all really stupid, and they also know that if they don't beat our Beiliang, what will knock south from Jizhou to plunder the Central Plains, and what will hit all the way to Tai'an City, it is all false, how many people have already made their supply line chickens and dogs jump, if all the Beiliang border troops are not in charge, they will not want to go to the Southern Dynasty, maybe even the Beimang Royal Court will be smashed by us."
It's just that the truth comes down to the truth, and if you are an individual, you all want to do less and make more profits.
They Beimang magnates want to go to Jizhou to fight Liaodong, I, Su Wenyao, still wish they had so many people, how many fewer people can die in our Beiliang. ” Shi Yulu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Dong Fatzi and that Taiping Ling are really damned" Fan Fen, the chief officer of the scout, suddenly arrived and reported the military situation to several generals, "There are eight hundred cavalry thirty miles away from the south, and the armor is better than those northern cavalry we encountered before, it should be the vanguard of the withdrawal from the gourd mouth, depending on the situation, if we continue to go south, at most we will encounter two or three small cavalry troops of this kind as bait, and then we will soon meet the Rouran iron cavalry." ” Yu Luan's knife skin smiled and didn't smile, his handsome face was full of those long-standing anger, and he said fiercely: "It doesn't matter if you ride the iron or not, don't eat the bait in vain, let's take these eight hundred horses to beat the tooth sacrifice to Shi Yulu, Su Wenyao, everything will follow the old rules."
The enemy army with only 800 horsemen has the way to fight 800, and the enemy cavalry has 8,000 enemy cavalry to fight 8,000.
Yu Luan's sword must take into account the physical strength, spirit, and spirit of his own soldiers, as well as all potential battle losses such as war horses, bows, and crossbows.
Nowadays, the riding and archery feeling of the ghost horse can be said to have climbed to the peak, but if there is too much long-term fighting, it will also lead to irreparable sequelae, which means that now the ghost horse can only fight the "three-plate axe" battle, quickly solve the enemy army with the least number of charges, quickly evacuate the battlefield, and quickly enter the safe area to rest.
After getting the military information transmitted by Fan Fen, the main force of the Youcai began to take the initiative to slow down, and the front line pulled out three levels, Su Wenyao, who was "at the bottom" in the last battle, led a thousand cavalry to take the lead, Yu Luan Dao led more than 1,000 cavalry in the center, and Shi Yulu's 1,000 cavalry escorted a large number of military horses "Palace", and the four hundred scouts with the most horsepower under Fan Fen began to attack first, and rushed forward on the left flank to carry out a "circle" to prevent the fish from getting lost and slipping through the net.
What Yu Luandao has to do is to rely on the numerical advantage to divide the multiple charges that are equal to launching at the same time, and strive to take away the eight hundred horsemen after passing by three times, and never let his subordinates rush back and forth until it is absolutely necessary.
The war horses of the ghost cavalry can't bear it, and the cavalry who are already tenacious enough in battle can't carry it.
Abandon the more lethal but very cumbersome heavy weapons, mainly with the sword to the sword of the light cavalry hedging, even if each of them is bound to die, but in the two sides of the convergence and staggered death line, the corpses left will not be too much, but under the instruction of Yu Luandao, in addition to the battle outside the Jibei Silver Harrier City, in the six large and small battles outside the gourd, Youzhou light cavalry are required to kill people in the charge, the price of this order, is to kill, and to be killed, there are few people who are lightly injured and re-fight, and there are many people who are seriously injured and killed.
The most hidden and cold-blooded part of Yu Luandao's style of play is that the Youzhou wounded cavalry that left the main army and retreated to the east after the battle was not many.
Shi Yulu and Su Wenyao knew it, and those captains also knew it, but no one objected, and no one questioned it.
No matter how heart-wrenching the poems are, they can't express this kind of battlefield cruelty where everyone has to commit suicide.

The Youzhou cavalry has one person and three horses, which war horse does not have a saber of the battle death robe For this kind of extra load, the main general Yu Luan Dao can't bear to control it, no matter how hard-hearted and demanding the details are.
Outside the battlefield where the battle had not yet begun, a group of five horsemen from the north rode against the eight hundred horsemen, and quickly galloped southward, trying to convey important information to the main army in the south that they had encountered the Youzhou cavalry.
Suddenly, an inconspicuous small black dot appeared from behind the flank, bypassing the main battlefield, and this figure ran like thunder, and it was far faster than the war horse.
He circled out a semicircle and stopped on the way to the five-horse, his feet sliding on the yellow sand and sending a cloud of dust.
The five horses were stunned by the strange scene in front of them, and a hundred paces away stood in front of a thin child with a Beiliang knife on his back.
The indifferent child began to hedge with the five horsemen, and when he was twenty paces away from the first horseman, the elusive child had already dodged four arrows, jumped high, grabbed the last feather arrow that shot at his chest halfway, and punched the horse pen that drew the war knife on the head of the war horse, and the whole war horse with the front leg broken before the head exploded was almost knocked upside down by a punch, and the horse fence that was the captain of the army threw himself out in front of the horse fence, and the chest was hit by another punch to the child with the knife on his back, and he directly knocked out the horse fence behind him, the third horse was thrown by the child's arrow through the throat, fell to his death, the left and right sides of the horse pen dodged the catastrophe did not dare to fight, fast horse whip, horse forward.
The child turned around and ran wildly, caught up with a horse railing, and grabbed the tail of a war horse with both hands, both feet must be, the war horse in the wild gallop was stunned by him to tear the horse's hooves, the horse's tail was broken, neighed in pain, and desperately accelerated forward.
The child swept out in one step, and after being side by side with the war horse, he swept out with a punch and hit the belly of the war horse, smashing the Beimang scout on the horse's back and flying out along with the war horse.
The boy did not stagnate in the slightest, and soon caught up with the last frightened horse, and one bent down, and each of his hands clenched one of the horse's hind legs, and twisted his feet in place, and spun the horse's hooves off the ground in the air, and then fell out violently.
The horse pen was thrown off the back of the horse, struggling to stand up, the child came to him, pulled out the Beiliang knife from behind, thrust it into the heart of the northern man, pulled it out and put it back in the scabbard, the child's face was calm and said: "Big man, three hundred and seventy-nine." ” Fan Fen, the commander who arrived later, and the four hundred scouts all saw this scene from afar, and did not step forward to speak, but began to line up to the north.
Among them, after Fan Fen helped the kid bring a war horse, he patted the Beiliang knife on his waist, and laughed softly: "Little general, if the war knife will also belong to you after I die, I will not be greedy, and you can help me slaughter fifty Beimang barbarians when the time comes." ” Yu Dilong jumped onto the horse's back, stood with his knife in his back, and the bloodied child rolled his eyes.
Nowadays, the Youzhou cavalry likes to nickname this child named Yu Dilong as "Little General".
Two days ago, Yu Dilong should have been arranged by Xu Fengnian to escort the sixty wounded horses to the east, but the child refused to live or die, even if Xu Fengnian looked angry, the child was just holding the war horse with the iron armor of the big man's relics in one hand, carrying the Beiliang knife on his back, neither speaking nor leaving.
Later, a lightly wounded lieutenant took the initiative to ask to leave the main force, personally escorted the wounded to retreat, and joked with the young general who had killed all sides in the previous major battles before leaving, saying that he should owe him fifty northern barbarians for their military merits.
Xu Fengnian acquiesced to Yu Dilong's stay.
The child is probably really in awe of Xu Fengnian, the master, even if he stays in the army, he doesn't dare to appear next to Yu Luandao and them again, hanging on the tail of the cavalry alone and riding alone, and never talking to anyone.
Except for going out with Fan Fen's scouts to spy on the military situation, he was always so lonely and silently followed behind the army.
On the frontal battlefield, the 800 cavalry of Beimang were killed and wounded under the three charges before and after.
The seventy or eighty routers who scattered and fled were also hunted and killed by Yu Dilong and Fan Fen's four hundred scouts.
All the Northern Mang cavalry who had not yet breathed their breath were mended by the ghost cavalry who cleaned up the battlefield.
Xu Fengnian stabbed to death a Beimang centurion with a resentful look in his eyes before he died, and gently raised his head to look west, and more than ten horsemen watching the fire from the other side of the battlefield appeared in the distance.
Xu Fengnian's heart sank, and in his field of vision, he didn't see that familiar figure. “”:
