At the end of October, it is late autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, and early winter in the north of the desert. The bitter cold wind cuts people like a knife, dark clouds pressing against the iron-gray mountains, and the white wolf water flows slowly like a black iron stream, silent.

In such cold weather and the danger of snowing at any time, people generally do not go out and even more impossible to fight. But when it is not suitable for conquest, there is a cavalry team of hundreds of people, one person and two riders, everyone covered their faces and heads, only their eyes exposed, and they ran against the wind, running on the White Wolf Valley Road.

Surprisingly, attacking him unpredictable is the key to this mid-range raid of the Marine. From Bailang City to Pinggang, we followed a tortuous White Wolf Valley Road, which was only 270 to 80 or less, less than 300 miles. A small group of light cavalry with hundreds of people, one person, two horses galloped, and only two days' journey.

This time, Ma Han led the team personally, and only Taishici was with him. Tang Nu stayed to defend the city, while Wu Zhui assisted Tian Yu in attacking Wencheng. This made Tang Nu very unwilling to take revenge on Wuyan's tribe, which was something he had dreamed of in the past two months. After ordering, he turned his eyes blank and asked to fight again and again. Ma Han blocked him back with just one sentence: "Or why you lead the team, I can defend the city."

Donnu is honest. He can't compete with the city guards.

Taishici has not accepted the position of Sima, the White Wolf Camp, but is only fighting with the army as a guest official of Ma Han. The weather is cold and the road is as hard as a stone. The flying cavalry is rushing. According to Taishici's suggestion, it is best to have three horses per person and be prepared to destroy two horses. However, when Ma Han pulled a red horse and handed it to him, Taishici stared at the heavy cast iron horseshoe, stepped on the shiny bell-shaped stirrup, headed straight to Bailang Mountain from the west gate, and after he came back for a round, he said nothing. In addition to being a guest official, it is natural that he should see how the cavalry equipped with this new type of horse harness fought.

But as soon as the White Wolf City came out, seeing the super heavy gun tied to the spare horse that was not easy to show, Taishi Ci was stunned. Compared with the two-meter-meter-long spear in his hand, he had another thought. Let's see how this Overlord Gun fought...

Marhan is a four-horse horse. The white horse and silver arrow are war horses, and they are only riding at war. The dark horse (the Xiliang Jian horse snatched from Kebineng) is riding horses, and there is also a strong and strong green horse as a rotation. His overlord gun and a large number of arrows are carried by a brown Youyan Horse. The Youyan Horse cannot sprint, but it is full of endurance. It is best to carry weapons.

Among these three hundred white wolf cavalry, nearly 200 regular cavalry had followed the Mahan to defeat the Wuwan people in Xiaozhishan, and they performed well in the offensive and defensive battles of Hange Village. They were elites of the White Wolf Camp and the most devoted followers. One hundred of them were bow cavalry, and another thirty were heavy cavalry. Each heavy cavalry was equipped with two entourages, and the other nearly 100 were reserved cavalry who had not yet become regular. However, after this battle, only they performed well and could be converted into regular cavalry based on their merits.

It was precisely because of such a loyal elite cavalry that Ma Han was so arrogant that he dared to attack Pinggang, the old nest of Wuwan in Youbeiping with 300 cavalry. There were 5,000 Wuwan people, and there were more than 10,000 people in the surrounding tents, and there were no less than 3,000 people in the string control.

Three hundred attacks three thousand. This risk is not ordinary. Ma Han naturally likes to take risks, otherwise he would not have been able to go from a penniless smuggler to a big shot looking down on the world in just ten years. However, this time he did not play like this. These elite soldiers are his old foundation, and he would not take them all to fight. To put it bluntly, this time, he wanted to achieve the purpose of training and deterrence, and the losses must be minimized. Therefore, he had to borrow strength.

At dusk, under the guidance of the guide, the cavalry team came to a leeward-bound valley. They were exhausted from the horses, forced themselves to fight, loosen their belly, and fed the war horses. The difference between cavalry and infantry is that the horses are the second life of cavalry, which is more important than the weapons in their hands. If the weapons are gone, as long as the horses are still there, at least they can escape. But if there is no horses, what's the use of having more weapons? As cavalry, everyone knows this very well, so when it comes to the top, no matter how tired they are, the cavalry must take good care of the horses first, and then their turn will be.

Ma Han looked at the dark sky and estimated the time. It was at least half an hour before Renye. They had about two hours to rest, which was enough.

Ma Han greeted Taishi Ci, the guide and a small Xianbei man to climb the high place of the valley together. He heard the guide introduce: "Thirty miles ahead is Pinggang City. It was the county seat of Youbeiping County during the Former Han Dynasty (i.e., the Western Han Dynasty), so the city is very large, with three Bailang City sizes. However, after the county seat moved south and the city was handed over to the Wuwan people to guard, these Hu slaves only knew how to enjoy it and did not know how to maintain it. After decades, the city wall was already broken, with holes everywhere, and the gap could squeeze into a living person... Wuyan's tent was in the south of the city. He was not used to living in a dirt house, and he still set up tents in the city. He was really an old barbarian..."

Ma Han nodded: "How many string control men are there in the city?"

"If you return to the city to defend, there will be only two thousand people, and there will be almost one thousand people scattered in the tents of the hundreds of miles around. If you raid at night, Wu Yan would not have time to summon them all."

Ma Han smiled: "In other words, the enemies we face are only about 2,000, which is very good. How many people and livestock does the Wuyan tribe have in total?"

"If you return to the city to defend, the Uyan tribe in the Pingoka area has 500 tents, with a population of more than 20,000, and a livestock of less than hundreds of thousands..."

"Hahaha, not bad. The news from the Xianbei people is still very comprehensive."

When Ma Han and the guide asked questions and answers, Taishici kept staring at the small Xianbei man. This man was average, black and thin, with no weapons on his body, but a cowhide guard was placed on his left forearm, and a skin bag hanging around his waist that was filled with unknown things. The man was very silent. Apart from being extremely respectful to Ma Han, he basically did not communicate with others. Taishici just felt strange, why did Ma Han call this person?

Suddenly, Taishici saw the Xianbei people moving. He took out a small black whistle from his clothes, raised his face, and a shiny light appeared in his eyes. The ordinary face became vivid.

Beep—

A sharp sound was like a sharp edge breaking through the sky.

Taishi Ci was shocked and raised his hand to grab the short halberd behind his shoulders, but at this moment, a strong palm pressed his shoulders. Taishi Ci turned his head, but when Ma Han smiled and shook his head, he immediately understood something, nodded, and relaxed his hand holding the halberd.

A long eagle cries suddenly came from the far sky, and a black spot was getting closer and closer. With the amazing eyes of Ma Han and Taishici, the black spot had not moved halfway, and it was clearly seen that it was a goshawk. And when the goshawk circled in the sky, retracted its wings and descended, and landed steadily on the arm of the Xianbei man, Taishici suddenly realized that it was a faith eagle, and the Xianbei man was an eagle slave.

Transmitting messages with Xinying is a high-level communication method between the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, while the Eagle Slave is a trainer of the Eagle. Whether it is Xinying or Eagle Slave, ordinary small tribes really cannot afford it, and there are only a few tents that can be used. It is not that it is too expensive. The main reason is that Xinying cannot transmit much farthest, at most a hundred or ten miles. Although it is faster than riding a horse, it is not much less efficient. The post delivery is simpler and more reliable, so ordinary tribes will not raise this effortless and unrealistic thing. However, if you need to pass messages to the rear through the enemy territory during battle, and you do not want to alarm the enemy, the post delivery is much more reliable than the post delivery.

Taishici glanced at Ma Han in surprise: "I didn't expect that White Wolf City can still raise eagle slaves."

Ma Han smiled and said, "I didn't raise this eagle slave, so I can't afford it. This is the contact envoy sent by Suli."

"Suli? Suli, the Xianbei people in western Liaoning!" Taishici's eyes widened.

At this time, the Eagle Nu had already taken two small pieces of wood from the eagle's legs and presented them to Ma Han respectfully. Then, a small piece of fresh mutton was taken out from the bulging skin and threw it to Xinying, constantly touching the eagle's head.

There are only eight Han Li written on the two wooden pieces: "Everything is ready, just wait for the Lord's order."

Ma Han turned his head and smiled at Taishi Ci, "The thousand Xianbei elite cavalry of Suli have already taken advantage of Liucheng. From the north to Pinggang, with our troops, there are a total of 1,300 elite cavalry, and there are only two thousand Wuwan string control men in Pinggang City. Among these people, the real elite, that is, the king's tent guards are only 500, and the rest are herders and soldiers who do not have much training. The combat power of the enemy and us is almost one to one. They are also unprepared, and there are still Xianbei supporters in Pinggang City. Before this battle was fought, Wuyan was defeated."

Taishi Ciwu couldn't believe it: "The Xianbei people wanted to attack Hiraoka, but Tadun, who was the leader of the Wuhuan alliance in the three counties, would be strange if he didn't send troops to intercept him. How could he use the road?"

Ma Han pointed to the north and said lightly: "The banner Suli raised was to jointly attack Kebineng with Budugen. The Xianbei people had an internal strife. Tadun was too happy. What was the point of borrowing a Tao? He even wanted to send troops to divide the meat."

Taishi Ci understood now, and he could roughly guess what happened next. Suli certainly did not carry forward the spirit of neighborhood friendship and helped Bailang City to clean up Wuyan. In fact, in western Liaoning, Wuwan's power had an absolute advantage. Suli and another Xianbei leader Mijia were always suppressed. The three major tribes in the eastern Xianbei region: Suli, Mijia, Jueji, and their tribes all combined, which were not as good as Ke Bineng in his heyday.

Originally, among the three Xianbei tribes, the eastern Xianbei tribes were the weakest, not to mention that they were divided into three, which was even more weak. Especially the Suli and Miga in western Liaoning were suppressed by Tadun, and the tribes were growing increasingly embarrassed. They had long been aiming at Pinggang. The aquatic plants here were called plump, which was not like western Liaoning, except for mountains and seas, so how could the herdsmen survive?

In the past, I was afraid of Wu Yan's strength, but now Wu Yan has been defeated continuously, and the tribe's strength has been greatly damaged. Some people have taken the lead. As long as they follow, they can share the meat. Why not do it?

Ma Han pointed at the long whip: "I used Hiraoka's fat piece of meat to attract Suli to join forces, and with Mika helping Ta Kyoto to seize Wencheng, is this deal worthwhile?"

Taishi Ci picked his thumbs up: "It's a great deal to be generous to others."

The two looked at each other and laughed. Ma Han shook his magical eye bow and said to Taishi Ci: "Let's go, let's sweep the periphery and compare to see who killed more."
