~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you can see, the high and low peaks are endless, with forests, shrubs, streams, and complex. At first glance, it seems that there is no way to go. Only when the car arrives in front of the mountain will you realize that there is a road - a winding path passing through the mountains.
As the beginning of Shen, the heat gradually faded, and the jungle was deep and cool, which made nearly a thousand people lie dormant among them, but could they remain quiet?
All war horses are worn in cages and chewed, and neighing is prohibited. Knights can drink water and eat, or lie down and sleep soundly, but no noise is strictly prohibited. Between the mountains and forests, except for all kinds of unknown bird songs, there are only cow mooing horses and messy voices from the other side of the mountain.
A mountain is separated by two armies, one is bright and one is dark, one is moving and one is still.
Ambushed in the dark was Ma Han's selection army, and the army on the other side of the mountain was the target of their trip - the strange Goguryeo Army.
After a whole day and a half, the marched nearly 200 miles, I finally caught up with it.
During the Three Kingdoms era, Xiahou Yuan, who was best at using cavalry to raid for long distances and fight mobile warfare, created a record of high-speed marching in the rebellion of Han Sui and quelling the Qing Qiang people. There was a saying in the army at that time: "Xiahou Yuan, a military captain, was 500 for three days and 1,000 for six days."
Such a marching speed is indeed amazing, but it depends on where and the environment. In the northwest, a flat land. It is certainly feasible, but if it is placed in a dangerous mountain road like Goguryeo, even if Xiahou Yuan personally arrives, if he can run half of the 500 miles in three days, he will be a typical 2500-mile road.
Ma Han led thousands of cavalry to run for a day and a half. Along the way, he also packed up two ambushes and ran for 170 or 80 miles. His speed and efficiency were definitely no worse than Xiahou Yuan.
To put it in detail, it was the Fuyu people who dragged the entire army. The Fuyu people's riding skills were not as good as the White Wolf Cavalry and Hu people. In addition, they did not have standard high-bridge saddles and stirrups, and there were no horses. As a result, not only were people trapped in the horses, but five or six hundred good horses were also broken and half of them were ruined.
Wei Qiutai quickly noticed the uniqueness of the Liaodong Army's horse harness. After Ma Han gave him a set of horse harnesses, Wei Qiutai's eyes suddenly widened and immediately asked to exchange a strong horse for a set of horse harnesses.
Ma Han quickly settled the accounts. A fruit-stricken horse of three to five years old was worth about 50,000 yuan. It crossed the sea to Donglai and sold it to Qing, Yan, Jizhou, and 80,000 yuan. If it was sold to Jing, Xu and other horse-deficient areas, it would definitely be worth more than 150,000 yuan. The Liaodong workshop made a set of horse harness including saddle bridges, stirrups, and socks, and the cost of manual labor was only 30,000 yuan... It was really a huge profit!
"Trade!" Ma Han agreed happily. He also traded on the spot, unloading two hundred sets of horses from the spare horses and handing them over to the Fuyu people. But Fuyu people couldn't get enough good horses for a while. He could only pay the credit first - of course, Wei Qiutai had to pay more interest on dismounting the horse for this.
With the help of the new horse harness, the Fuyu people's actions were indeed much faster, following the Liaodong army without falling behind, and finally discovered something the next afternoon.
The first person to discover the enemy was of course Ma Han. He scanned until he was only one mountain with red dots, far exceeding the number of people in normal villages. If they knew nothing and continued to march, they would encounter this large number of people after turning the mountain road ahead for no more than half an hour.
The Mahan could only scan a large number of people on the other side of the mountain, but whether they were their targets was still needed to send a scout to investigate. During this period, everyone had to seize the time to feed the horses and drink the horses, then put the horses in a cage and chew them, and then pulled them into a valley to rest.
Ma Han sat on a big rock, his eyes kept off the screen, and estimated the number of people and horses. In fact, it is very simple to calculate the heat source point, just press the statistics key. But among these heat source points, how many people are, how many animals are, how many soldiers are, how many prisoners are, how many prisoners are... These are all impossible to calculate, and they can only be analyzed and judged based on intelligence and combined with the scanning results.
About two minutes later, three spies of the men and women rushed over and knelt down more than ten steps away, with a respectful face on their faces, and reported: "The prefect is unparalleled. The Goguryeo people are indeed in the forest on the other side of the mountain. We saw the strange flag."
Ma Han Jianmei Yixuan: "Are you sure?"
“It’s true.”
"Okay! I finally caught up." Ma Han slapped his thighs excitedly and stood up. All the white wolf cavalry, Hu people and husbands stood up one after another, leading the horses around. Everyone showed excitement on their faces. The arduous pursuit finally started.
There is no need to mobilize, and all the Knights of the Strike are full of confidence in the upcoming battle. Not only because they are elite, but also because they are not just taking advantage of the enemy's surprise attack and suddenly attack, and the chances of winning are very high. More importantly, the gods stand on their side!
Ma Han predicted that the enemy's ambush first, easily saw through the enemy's ambush, attacked and killed, and finally recognized the enemy across the mountain... All the incredible abilities were considered "miracles" by the Hu people and the Yu people. They privately heard a statement from the White Wolf Cavalry warriors that their lord was possessed by Kunbotulu. Kunbotulu looked through a thousand miles, and the magic arrow penetrated the python, and after possessing it to the body of a mortal, his magical power was reduced by a hundred times, and he could only see through ten miles, and his arrow shot thousands of steps... Even so, he was a great magical power. Just Goguryo Kou thought that he could beat a stick by hiding in the dense forest, but he didn't know that he had already been penetrated by the lord's divine eyes as if he was watching the fire. It was really ridiculous.
Not to mention, this statement is consistent with Ma Han's magical actions and the extremely far-fleet shooting that intimidates Zhu Hu, which is very convincing. There is no doubt that the Hu people and Fu Yu people are all convinced - this is not a legend, but witnessed with your own eyes. In the eyes of Hu people and Fu Yu people who worship gods, it is a miracle! Who doesn't believe it so much?
As a result, all the Knights of the Selected Frontman looked at Ma Han like looking up at a god. Under the leadership of the gods, how could there be an invincible battle? Before the battle began, their morale was already overwhelming.
Ma Han shook his armor and began to issue commanders: "Mr. Yu led his troops to abandon his horse and step. He climbed over the hillside, rushed from the top to the bottom, and drove the Goguryeo people down the mountain road as much as possible."
"As for the order!" Wei Qiutai looked excited. Fu Yu and Goguryeo have battles every year, and in the past ten years, they have never won a single battle, and this time is finally different.
Ma Han turned his head and said to Wubai Hu Qi: "When the sound of fighting comes, it is an opportunity to attack. As I said before, all the property and prisoners you snatched from the Goguryeo people belong to you. How much you can snatch depends on your ability. But remember one thing that is to be remembered - all the captured Han people are residents of Xuantu, and all the people of the Han Dynasty must be handed over to the White Wolf Army to deal with, and no one is allowed to move! Those who violate the order will be killed!" Speaking of the word "教" behind, it was already harsh.
Five hundred scattered and arrogant Hu Qi responded sternly. These people, including the Xianbei people, the Wuhuan people and some Huhua Han people, came from different tribes. Even the Wuhuan Great Shanyu or the Xianbei king, could not be followed by everyone, but in front of the Ma Han, they all worshiped and followed the orders. They were regarded as the orders of the masters of the Ministry.
...
The thousands of people resting in the mountains were indeed Baqi's army, but at this time he had only a thousand troops left. The remaining more than a thousand people were all plundered Han people and Goguryeo mountain people who fled into Xuantu.
When Baqi first entered the invasion, there were more than 2,300 troops, but when he attacked the Xigaima, he lost hundreds of people. Then on the way back, he heard that the Liaodong prefect personally led the army to pursue him and hurriedly set up two more ambushers. Five or six hundred more were gone, and the troops in his hands were not much. What made Baqi worry was that the two ambushers had not yet been heard back. The people sent to contact him were gone forever. This made him feel uneasy.
Fortunately, he didn't expect the ambush of hundreds to defeat the army of thousands. He just wanted to slow down the speed of the pursuers, attack the morale of the enemy, so that he could safely escort the prisoners, livestock and property, and escape to Heshenggu City first. As long as he hides in that indestructible mountain city, hehe, let alone thousands of cavalry, even if there are tens of thousands of people, he will have no choice.
Baqi calculated the itinerary and could reach his destination in more than a hundred miles. Although the Liaodong Army was a cavalry, it might not be much faster than walking around the mountains and ridges. As long as the two ambushes could be held back, it would not matter if they were all dead. Anyway, they were all infantrymen, and his elite Hu cavalry was with him, which was his capital.
There are also Hu Qi in Goguryeo? There are really!
As early as the Zhongping period, after Gongsun Zan defeated Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and Qiu Liju rebelled, more than 500 Hu people fled into Goguryeo. They were all accepted by Goguryeo King Bogu, placed near the domestic city, and recruited 300 cavalrymen to be guards. After six or seven years, the number of people has expanded to 500 cavalry.
After Bogu's death, two hundred of them were controlled by Baqi, and another three hundred were controlled by various tribes represented by Yiyimo.
When Baqi went on the expedition, he used these 200 elite cavalry as his entourages. On that day, the most killing and most effective combat was this Hu cavalry. As long as the elite cavalry of this entour cavalry did not lose, the rest of the infantry would die and then make up for it, which was not a big deal.
After thinking about this section, my mind gradually became calm, and my concerns faded, and my lust arises. I remembered how many of the Han girls I was abducted this time were beautiful, and they were still the daughters of officials... Well, I have nothing to do, so it's better to come and go.
"Come on, set up a tent, and then bring the women in the van together."
The servants on both sides rushed to the scene. In a moment, the big tent was set up and the Han girls also sent it over. They were all flawless and cried so hard that they were filled with rain.
Bachi laughed, hugged and hugged him, and got into the tent.
Just as Baqi forced the Han girls to untie him, a servant suddenly came from outside the tent to report: "Master, a spy saw a few figures in the forest in the back mountain, which seemed to be peeping."
The tent was quiet. After a while, a golden arrow was thrown out of the tent, and a muffled voice came from the tent: "I will send a team of people to see if the hunters or nearby mountain people."
The attendant hurriedly knelt down and picked up the golden arrows, bowed to take the order and left.
After a while, the sound of shattering silk and the woman screamed from the tent, mixed with strange bursts of laughter.
The Hu guards outside the tent all looked at each other and smiled knowingly. According to the old prince's previous temperament, after insulting women, they would choose one or all of them. This is one of the reasons why these Hu people are loyal to this Goguryeo prince.
At this moment, the servant and a team leader looked frightened and stumbled, and their voices changed: "Master, it's not good! There are ambushers, it's my husband!"
As soon as the words were finished, it seemed as if to prove what he said, the sound of killing on the top of the mountain suddenly rose, and accompanied by screams, resounding throughout the mountains and forests.
The curtain was lifted off, and Baqi ran out naked, and was shocked and angry: "Why are Fuyu people? Where did these damn Beinu slaves come from?!" (To be continued)
