The scout entered Guancheng and reported to him: "Your Highness, he discovered the main force of the Hun army sixty miles away, with about 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry, but they did not go south, but stationed in the camp."

This news was a bit beyond Liu Jing's expectations. He did not expect the Huns cavalry to come so quickly. As soon as he captured Xiaoguan, the Huns army appeared. At this time, Liu Jing suddenly remembered something and asked around, "Has the Ma Dai cavalry returned?"

"Report to Your Highness, he led his army to pursue the Wuhuan people and has not returned yet."

Liu Jing immediately took an arrow and handed it to the scout Junhou, "Go and find General Ma Dai, and ask him to return to the army immediately and not be allowed to fight the enemy again."

"Abide by the order"

The scout Junhou took the order arrow and ran quickly to the city. Liu Jing looked at a team of scouts running far north, and was really worried. He pondered for a moment and said to the guards beside him: "Go and invite Junshi Jia."

Soon, Jia Xu hurried over and bowed and said, "See Your Highness."

"Military advisor, please give up the gift."

Liu Jing told Jia Xu the information that the scout discovered the main force of the Huns. Jia Xu frowned slightly. He did not expect the Huns cavalry to come so quickly. He thought for a while and said, "I dealt with this Liu Qubei twenty years ago. Although this person is a Hu man, he has been in the Central Plains for a long time and is very cunning. He uses profit in everything. After he was granted a title, Cao Cao ordered him to pursue Li Kuang's remnants, but he refused because of his lack of military strength. Because Li Kuang's supplies had been obtained by Cao Cao, it was not profitable to pursue Li Kuang's remnants. He was stationed sixty miles away, and he was probably planning his best interests."

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "The military advisor means that Liu Qubei actually wants to take advantage of the fisherman."

Jia Xu nodded slowly, "It must be so. He will wait until both us and the Wuhuan people suffer losses before sending troops. At that time, not only will he deal with us, but he will also annex the Wuhuan people. But he was afraid that the Wuhuan people would surrender to us, so he supervised the battle sixty miles away. Once the Wuhuan people meant to surrender, he would attack Wuhuan immediately. If I was not wrong, he would have sent his confidant to monitor the Wuhuan people."

Liu Jing stared at the north and said with some concern: "I am very worried that Ma Dai and his cavalry will not return to pursue the remnants of Chining. If they are spotted by the Huns' patrol, the Huns will not let them come back so easily. I must go and pick up Ma Dai."

"You can go to pick up Ma Dai, but Your Highness cannot take risks. You can let Pang lead the cavalry to pick up."

Liu Jing nodded and immediately turned around and said, "Go and find Pang De to see me quickly."

Ma Dai led 5,000 cavalry to intercept the Wuhuan people in Xiaoguan fled north. Although he set up an interception line, more than a thousand cavalry broke through his interception line and fled towards Shangjun, including Chi Ning, the leader of the Wuhuan people. Ma Dai was unwilling to accept it and led his army to pursue the northeast direction, chasing for the rest of his li, killing more than four enemies. It was too late at this time, and the Han army was not familiar with the situation, so Ma Dai finally ordered the pursuit to stop.

Night had fallen quietly, and five thousand cavalry rested by a small river for a night. They came from Wating Pass, intercepted and chased for a whole night. The men and horses were already exhausted. The soldiers wrapped in blankets and fell asleep, while the war horses stood beside the master and quietly ate the grass on the ground, or fell asleep with the master.

Ma Dai couldn't sleep at all. He sat cross-legged by the river and looked at a map with the bright moonlight. They chased the enemy's troops far away and it was hard to find them. The area was full of ravines, many forks, and the terrain was very complicated. He was very unfamiliar with the terrain of this area, which made him really worried that the dry food they carried was only enough to last for one day. Once they were lost, they might not be able to return to Xiaoguan for a few days, and his army would face the threat of food being cut off.

Of course, when the situation is difficult, they can kill horses to overcome difficulties, but as cavalry, war horses are their brothers, and no one is willing to kill their brothers to satisfy their hunger, unless they can find supplies in time. Ma Dai sighed helplessly. The map in his hand was simple, and he simply drew a line, leading to Xiaoguan in a winding way. But in fact, they faced countless roads, which seemed to be heading south. Which one was the one that led to Xiaoguan.

Ma Dai stacked the map and looked around again. They seemed to be under a huge sky, with a bright moon hanging on the blue sky. Ma Dai thought to himself that they must find a guide.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, several scouts brought a Wuhuan herder and Yu Chuanyang, "General, we found this person by the river in front."

Ma Dai was overjoyed. The sheep could allow the soldiers to barely replenish their food. More importantly, with a guide, he immediately ordered the scout to bring the herdsmen. The herdsmen were so scared that they trembled all over and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to pray for mercy. Ma Dai said to him gently: "We won't hurt you, just tell us which one can go to Gaoping County."

The herders pointed to a gully on the other side of the river, "You can go to Gaoping County by walking there, without any forks."

Ma Dai was overjoyed and ordered his left and right to say, "Send him a horse and let him go."

The Wuhuan herder was sent out of the army's lodge. He rode his horse to a valley and watched the Han soldiers slaughtering sheep and peeling skin. He hated his eyes and was about to spit out fire. He turned his horse's head and ran westward.

At noon, Ma Dai led the cavalry to an abandoned county town, which was Guyuan County. The county town had been abandoned for several years. After several robbery by the Huns, it had been burned to white land. Only a circle of city walls stood alone at the foot of Liupan Mountain. After finding the old city of Guyuan, Ma Dai knew that they were only fifty miles away from Xiaoguan. With this county town as a reference, he knew where to go without looking at the map.

After resting for half an hour, Ma Dai turned over and his opponent ordered: "So quickly the horse and go back to Xiaoguan for supper."

The soldiers boarded their horses and urged the horses to rush to the south. The dust was flying, covering the sky and the sun, but they only ran for more than ten miles. On a huge hill several miles ahead, countless small black dots suddenly appeared. Then, dense black dots appeared on both sides of the hills. They were cavalry. Ma Dai immediately recognized it. He waved his hand and shouted: "Stop moving forward."

Five thousand Han cavalry stopped their war horses and pulled the reins uneasily. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there were at least 10,000 cavalrymen on the opposite side. At this time, Ma Dai recognized the wolf-headed flag of the other party, and he immediately ordered: "It's the enemy, prepare for battle."

The cavalry that Ma Dai encountered was the left wing of the Huns, a Jie cavalry with about 10,000 people. The Jie people were a separate branch of the Huns and also a slave army of the Huns. They looked slightly different from the Huns and obviously had the characteristics of white people, with high noses and deep eyes, and most of them had beards.

The Jie people were deeply oppressed by the Huns, but they also formed their cruel national character and liked to rob and rape the most. They were appointed as the left wing by Liu Qubei, and they were relatively free to move, so they took the opportunity to search for villages of Han or Wuhuan people everywhere, kill and rob.

The leader of this Jie cavalry was Shiwen. He was about ten years old. He was the chief of the Jie tribe. He had scars on his face and was fierce. He used a fifty-pound sword to kill countless people. Just an hour ago, Shiwen got a Wuhuan herder who came to report the news that a Han cavalry was coming from the east, with only a few thousand people. Shiwen made a quick decision and led 10,000 people from his headquarters to the Han army to intercept it.

Shi Tan was standing on the hills, looking coldly at the Han cavalry several miles away in the distance. The number of people was less than half of them. Shi Tan sneered contemptuously and said to more than a dozen generals around him: "It's strange that the people in the Central Plains actually have cavalry. Are they farming cavalry?"

More than a dozen Jie generals laughed. The stone tan took off the huge horn hanging on the war horses, raised their heads and blew hard. Then dozens of horns were blowing together. The sound of horns echoed in the wilderness. The Jie cavalry suddenly launched, and ten thousand cavalry attacked from one direction, tens of thousands of horses galloped, the earth was trembling, and dust covered the sky and the sun, swept towards the Han cavalry like a storm.

Ma Dai commanded the Xiliang cavalry for many years and also had rich cavalry experience. If an ordinary cavalry general was an active attack, he would use a bow and crossbow to block the enemy. This is the consistent tactic of the Han army, but Ma Dai could decide the tactics based on actual conditions.

Ma Dai did not order to shoot with crossbow arrows, and the enemy troops came to attack, and the attack surface was large, and their troops were at a disadvantage. If they used crossbows, although they could partially kill and injure the enemy, the Han army would be strongly impacted by cavalry. For an army without chariots as obstacles, being attacked by powerful cavalry was a terrible thing.

In this case, only by rushing the opponent at the same time and fighting head-on is the best tactic. Ma Dai raised his sword and shouted: "Han cavalry, this is the time to safeguard your glory, let the enemy tremble under our battles and horse hooves."

Ma Dai shouted at the top of his lungs: "Kill"

Five thousand Han soldiers raised their spears and roared, and the "kill" shouts soared into the sky. The Han cavalry launched a loud bang and launched an attack on the enemy with an unstoppable force. The two cavalry were getting closer and closer, and they collided in an instant. The war horses swept forward like wind, slashing forward, slashing violently, and violently storming like a storm. The iron spear and the sword stabbed on the iron helmet, making a harsh sound, and cried and screamed suddenly.

The Han cavalry was like an iron sword, killing a blood among the dense enemy troops. The Han cavalry was extremely brave, stomping everything on the blood, overwhelming everything, and invincible everything. They divided the Jie cavalry into two and rushed straight to the wolf-headed flag in the center of the enemy. Capturing the thief first captured the king, kill the enemy's chief general, or defeat the enemy's central army. This is the best way to fight less and more.

Shitan was not under the wolf head. He had expected that the Han army would attack the flag and kill him and win. He retreated to the end of the team when the charge broke out. At this time, Shitan looked at the Han army's charge with unconcealed pride in his eyes. The Han army rushed straight to the central army, hitting his mind.

Shitan raised his horn again and blew hard, wuwu, this was the order of the two armies to attack. The left and right wings of the Jie cavalry were like the giant stings of two scorpions, and they slammed the Han army left and right.
