Xuan Yi's tactics are very simple.
He divides his men into three parts.
The first part is responsible for containing the Xi army in the open, the second part is responsible for sneak attacks, and the third part is responsible for supporting.
After one battle, the tasks will be rotated.
Less than half an hour after the Eighteen Tornado Cavalry dispersed into three parts and disappeared, Yeluhan led a thousand riders to the location where the Eighteen Tornado Cavalry and two hundred Jingqi Cavalry had just camped.
Although the fire was extinguished, there were still some sparks left at the scene.
The meat bones chewed by the soldiers of the Tang Army were scattered everywhere on the ground.
Horse dung and horse footprints could be seen in many places.
Yeluhan and his centurions jumped off their horses, and a scout who had been waiting here stepped forward to report: "Master Qian Fu, this is where the Tang Army's scout team camped.
When we arrive, They have gone far, but they can't run away.
Our remaining brothers have followed their horses' hoof prints and chased them."
Yeluhan asked: "Approximately how many people are there?"
"Judging from the number of horse hoof prints they left along the way, it was about three hundred horses."
Yeluhan frowned and said: "According to the information obtained from the previous reconnaissance reports, isn't it only a little over two hundred?
How come there are more and more?"
A centurion next to him interrupted: "Lord Yelu, the Tang Army's reconnaissance cavalry may have more than one horse per person.
They may have two horses or more."
Yeluhan thought for a while, and he had to admit that the centurion's statement was reasonable, but it was also possible that the Tang army had increased the strength of the reconnaissance team.
At this time, a centurion who had finished surveying the situation came over and reported: "Sir, judging from the traces on the scene, the Tang army had already discovered the arrival of our army through reconnaissance, so they evacuated.
However, they evacuated in a hurry.
They also cleaned up before evacuating.
They left some traces and tried to erase some things that they didn’t want us to find.
Judging from the marks of horse hoofprints and the freshness of horse manure, the number of people was about three hundred.
They should have left for a short time, and we could definitely chase them. superior" "Then what are you waiting for?
We all mounted our horses and pursued in the direction where the Tang army retreated.
The detective cavalry sentries were in front to investigate the situation."
Yeluhan turned around and got on his horses without even thinking about it.
The other centurions and guards immediately got on their horses and led the troops in pursuit in the direction of the Tang army's retreat.
Xuanyi and others must have carried out certain investigations at the scene.
The traces are clear.
The Eighteen Tornado Cavalry and the Two Hundred Fine Cavalry have a total of about 600 horses.
Almost each cavalry has three horses.
This configuration is very common even for nomadic tribes.
Use less because it's too expensive.
In fact, the third team led by Xuan San was retreating in front.
Their task was to contain and attract Yeluhan's thousand cavalry in the open, and lead them in circles, while Xuan Yi led the team and followed Xuan San's troops.
After a certain distance, they hid on the path that Yeluhan must pass through in pursuit.
As for the second team led by Xuan Er, they were nearby preparing to meet the first team that successfully raided.
As the moon hid behind the clouds, the night became darker.
Xuan Yi raised his head and looked at the sky, and then saw a black shadow not far to the left.
It should be a field of wild wormwood as tall as a person.
He immediately stopped his horse.
He stopped and said, "Send the order and tell Xuan San that we will ambush Xi Jun here and let him lead the team to move forward.
Our troops will hide in the wild wormwood in front of us on the left."
"promise" After receiving the order from Xuan Yi's people, Xuan San led the team to move forward, while Xuan Yi led the first team to hide in a bush of wild grass that was as tall as one person.

The war horse stood in the bush of wild grass and was just blocked by the bush. , a knight sitting on a horse must lie down to hide his figure, so Xuan Yi ordered everyone to lie down on the horse and not get up, otherwise military law will be imposed.
In fact, there is no need for Xuan Yi to threaten with military law.
These elite cavalry troops have strict discipline and strong execution ability.
There are many mosquitoes in the wild, especially in the wild wormwood bushes in this weather.
There are dense mosquitoes everywhere.
The bites of mosquitoes are really uncomfortable.
Many people have big and small bites on their faces in a short period of time.
The exposed backs of my hands were stung with red and swollen spots.
Although this kind of waiting and hiding was uncomfortable, it was not fatal.
Soon, more than a dozen Xi Jun detectives arrived here on horseback.
This patch of wild wormwood attracted their attention, but in order to find traces of the Tang Jun brigade as soon as possible, they He just fired several waves of arrows into the wild wormwood bushes.
When he found nothing, he hit his horse and continued to chase forward.
Xi Jun's reconnaissance cavalry shot to death two Tang Jun elite cavalry in these waves, and three others were slightly injured.
All other arrows were blocked by armor.
This can be regarded as a very cruel test.
If it were an ordinary army, these rounds of arrows would expose the people hiding inside.
However, these elite cavalrymen of the Tang Army who were killed by arrows and injured did not say a word.
Fortunately, the first team led by Xuan Yi did not wait long.
After waiting for less than half an hour, they heard the sound of a large number of horse hooves coming from the direction they had come from before, and they appeared not long after.
A long black shadow.
"Here we come, tell brothers Zuo Zhao to prepare."
Xuan Yi said in a deep voice, slowly taking off the spear from the victory hook and holding it under his arm.
After the order was passed on, Xuan Jiu, Xuan Shi, Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen took off Guan Gong's sword, horse spear, or spear one after another, while all seventy fine cavalry took out their spears and tucked them under their armpits, but they still lay prone.
The horse was motionless.
Since there were scouts in front of them who had already conducted reconnaissance, Xi Jun, led by Yeluhan, passed through the wild sage bushes unprepared.
The team stretched out very long.
The team of a thousand riders stretched for more than a mile. .
Seeing that all the 600 cavalry in front of him had passed by, Xuan Yi tightened his grip on his spear, lay on his horse and quietly watched the Xi Jun cavalry continue to pass.
After all the 700 cavalry in front of him had passed, he immediately raised his spear and shouted A voice: "Brothers, follow me and kill" "Kill" The cavalry of the Tang Army, led by Xuan Yi, rushed out of the wild wormwood bush, which was right next to where the Xi army passed, less than a hundred meters away.
The soldiers of the Tang Army rode their horses to kill them while raising their long weapons forward.
They only had a few seconds to kill them at such a short distance.
However, the more than 300 cavalrymen at the rear of the Xi Army who were galloping forward were attacked without any preparation.
The Tang army came to kill them.
Under the sudden attack, Xi Jun's cavalry was in chaos on the spot.
The originally sparse and unformed team became even more chaotic.
In the blink of an eye, the centurions had no time to organize the cavalry to fight.
With a "boom", the sound of impact spread, and the three hundred cavalry at the rear of Xi's army were smashed to pieces, suffering heavy casualties.
Although Xuan Yi only had six brothers and seventy elite knights, these people were all extremely brave.
In one attack, more than 260 people were killed and injured by the 300-strong Xi Jun cavalry.
The remaining 30 people were lucky enough to survive, but everyone suffered some injuries.
After overwhelming the 300 cavalry at the rear of Xi Jun, Xuan Yi did not hesitate and immediately led the team to escape forward without turning.
Turning would take time, and the speed of the subsequent impact would make his escape much faster.
Yeluhan was shocked when he heard the cry of killing coming from behind.
He immediately stopped his horse and asked loudly: "What happened in the rear?"
Soon someone rode a horse and came to report: "Master Qian Fu, the three hundred people at the rear were attacked by the Tang army and suffered heavy losses."

"How many people are there on the other side?"
"Less than a hundred people, but they have a lot of horses."
"Cunning Southern Barbarian" Yeluhan was furious.
He turned his head to look at the direction of the pursuit, and then looked back.
He didn't know whether to continue to pursue the Tang army in front or turn around to kill the Tang army that sneaked up on his rear.
Breathing heavily, Yeluhan gritted his teeth, brandished his sword and shouted: "My sons, follow me and kill the Nanmanzi who attacked us."
The Khitan army immediately turned around under the leadership of Yelu Han, but the organization and discipline of the barbarian army were much worse than that of the Tang army.
The U-turn wasted some time.
By the time Yelu Han led his troops to the rear, Xuan Yi had already led the army.
The men and horses moved away, leaving only the corpses of the Khitan cavalry lying on the ground, and some war horses snoring and gnawing on night grass not far away.
At this time, you can still hear the sound of horse hooves as the Tang army retreats.
Before the Tang army can get far, Yeluhan shouted: "Follow me, my sons!"
"Kill" The Khitan army chased them all the way, shouting to create a momentum of pursuit.
Xuan San, who was more than twenty miles ahead, reined in his horse and stopped.
According to time calculation, the Khitan army chasing behind had already been attacked by the first team led by Xuan Yi.
He immediately turned around and led the team back.
If When he found that the Khitan army was still pursuing, he turned around and ran away.
If the Khitan army went to pursue Xuan Yi's first team, he would lead the team to meet the first team.
Xuan Yi led the first team to run for about ten or twenty miles, and happened to pass by the ambush of the second team.
He blew a loud whistle to greet the second team who was ambushing nearby, and then walked away.
Yeluhan did not expect that the Tang Army would conduct an ambush again.
They did not expect this at all.
They followed closely behind the first team and did not notice that the first team sent people to ambush.
However, they did not know that the Tang Army had already prepared a second ambush. tactical plan.
"Kill" the second group of Tang troops who were ambushing on the hill rushed down along the terrain.
The three hundred Khitan troops hanging behind had no time to react and were smashed to pieces by the Tang troops who rushed out of the night.
"Master Qian Fu, the rear of our army was ambushed and raided by the Tang army again."
A Khitan actually galloped over to report to Yeluhan.
"I heard such a loud cry to kill," Yeluhan was furious, "Damn Nanman, they only know how to make sneak attacks, they don't even have the guts to fight us head-on."
When Yeluhan was furious, a centurion reminded him: "Lord Centurion, we have less than five hundred people left."
Yeluhan almost vomited blood after hearing this, "Asshole, how many of them are there, bastard?"
He grabbed a surviving Khitan soldier and shouted.
"Less than a hundred people" Less than a hundred men killed his 300 elite cavalry in a surprise attack in the dark.
Damn, why is this Tang army so powerful?
Where are they from?
"Chase me."
Yeluhan became cruel and decided to grit his teeth and pursue the second team of the Tang Army that had just attacked him
