Cavalry was the most powerful force in ancient times, especially on the grasslands. The more elite cavalry played an unimaginable role.

The nomadic tribes were able to suppress the Han Dynasty in the north mostly because they owned horses. It is not an exaggeration to say that the battle in Xiandu County was won by thousands of Xiandu cavalry.

That night, Liu Xin saw a conflict in the Xianbei camp from the city wall. A group of thousands of Xianbei cavalry even left the camp overnight and headed north in the dark.

In the second half of the night, the commotion only intensified. In the end, some teams even started fighting in the military camp. Liu Xin and many of his generals and soldiers watched in the north of the city all night. They knew that as long as they did not open the gate, they would have won the battle.

, just stay here and wait for the results.

Early the next morning, the noise in the Xianbei camp became louder and louder. Many cavalrymen left the camp and headed north. Some Xianbei auxiliary soldiers without horses also left the camp and ran northward as if fleeing for their lives.

Yue and others were anxious and suggested Liu Xin to go out of the city to pursue the pursuit. Although they did not have elite cavalry, many soldiers could be used as half cavalry on horseback. Now there are more than 600 war horses in the barracks, and there are still more in Xiandu County.

Thousands of horses.

It was not until noon that Liu Xin saw that the entire Xianbei camp had begun to become quiet. It seemed that all the Xianbei soldiers had left. Then he rode on horseback and brought more than 600 soldiers to the Xianbei camp. He saw that the place was in a mess.

, there was not a single Xianbei soldier left in the camp.

"Youping, the five of you will go back to the county town and each lead 100 elite soldiers and 200 auxiliary soldiers. You will come to support us after you get your war horses.

Let Xianhe be prepared to receive prisoners of war, all the people can leave the city, and Xiandu County is safe!" Liu Xin said to Zhou Tai.

After saying that, he led his troops to the north. Along the way, he saw weapons and armor discarded everywhere, as well as some cattle and sheep looking innocently on the grass. Liu Xin ignored these and continued to ride north.

After walking for more than ten miles, Liu Xin saw Xianbei auxiliary soldiers fleeing north. When he saw Liu Xin and others arriving, he knelt on the ground and surrendered to survive. However, Liu Xin ignored them completely and continued northward. His goal was to pursue

Go up to the cavalry unit led by Guan Yu. Judging from the military symbols, the enemy is moving quickly and seems to be encircling the Xianbei cavalry.

After riding fast for more than forty miles, many of the soldiers led by Liu Xin had poor riding skills and the road was already shaky on horseback. They finally found Guan Yu and others.

More than a hundred soldiers were seen guarding more than 2,000 Xianbei prisoners. The only ones who could reach this point were Xianbei cavalry, and the auxiliary soldiers had not yet reached this point.

Liu Xin asked the more than 600 soldiers he led to dismount and guard the prisoners and horses. Then according to the position shown by the military symbols, he caught up with the large Xiandu cavalry force that was still pursuing the Xianbei cavalry.

"Sir, why are you here?" Guan Yu couldn't help but asked when he saw Liu Xin coming on horseback alone.

"If I don't chase you, you will chase me to the Xianbei grassland. Take a break and wait for Youping and the others to arrive. Then we will discuss how to pursue you." Liu Xin said.

Everyone returned to the place where the prisoners were being held. At this time, Zhou Tai, Fang Yue and others had led more than 2,000 people to arrive. Except for 500 of these people, they were elite infantrymen on horseback. The rest were Xiandu County Guards, patrolling.

Soldiers, servants of aristocratic families and even ordinary people, all those who can ride horses in Xiandu County came out.

Liu Xin analyzed the situation with everyone. If he didn't beat the drowned dog now, why wait? He only led 500 elite infantry, plus 500 auxiliary soldiers who were not good at riding, waiting in place, and ordered all the generals of Zhou Taidu to lead more than 2,500

He went to the Xianbei grassland to pursue him. In this battle, he was determined to make all the tribes exhausted.

Zhou Tai, Guan Yu, Fang Yue, Guan Hai and others all left. Liu Xin led a thousand soldiers to wait again. There were not many Xianbei cavalry in the rear, and there were some small teams with less than 50 people. Liu Xin rode and led 500 soldiers to pursue

, use [Equestrian Card] on 20 elite infantry, and no small team of cavalry can escape from them.

The Xianbei auxiliary soldiers had no chance to escape. They were all herded together, and soon there were more than 4,000 Xianbei prisoners in front of Liu Xin.

Someone went back to Xiandu County to inform Jian Yong and sent 3,000 auxiliary troops to collect the prisoners. In the evening, Jian Yong personally led 3,000 auxiliary troops to arrive in horse-drawn carriages and even ox-carts. Now all the rideable horses in Xiandu County were taken by them.

Brought here.

Liu Xin gathered everyone together in the evening. At this time, many Xianbei soldiers came to surrender when they saw the fire. They had not eaten for a day, and now they were so hungry that they had no strength to run. There were cattle and sheep on the way, and they did not dare to stop.

Seeing so many prisoners gathered here and not seeing any corpses, they all came over.

The next day, Liu Xin led 200 elite infantrymen and 300 auxiliary troops to escort more than 5,000 prisoners back to Xiandu County, as well as more than 2,000 war horses.

After handing the trophies to Jiang Li, the people in Xiandu County happily celebrated with each other when they saw Liu Xin escorting so many prisoners back. Liu Xin asked Liu Bei to lead hundreds of officials to tell the people to go north to look for cattle and sheep and collect them everywhere.

Scattered weapons and equipment.

Liu Bei organized tens of thousands of people in Xiandu County and began to march northward. Jiang Li set up a place in the north of Xiandu County to collect loot. After all the cattle, sheep and horses were recovered, the people would get at least 10% of the loot.

award.

After sending all the prisoners back to Xiandu County, Liu Xin returned to where he left early in the morning and saw that Jian Yong had gathered thousands more prisoners. After this defeat, the Xianbei cavalry had no intention of resisting, or they were already hungry.

I have no strength left.

Without food, they could not return to their tribe even if there were no enemies to stop them. There were far more wolves than people on the grassland, so the only way they could survive was to surrender.

In three days, Xiandu County harvested 7,000 captives, so they already had many Xianbei prisoners. The entire Xiandu County had about 100,000 people, and the total population was about six times greater than in February this year.

More than 80% of the scattered cattle and sheep in Xiandu County have been recovered. More than one cattle and sheep have now become a big problem in Xiandu County. Now there are many cattle and sheep in Xiandu County, and they need to go far away from the county to feed the cattle and sheep.

.

Seeing that not many Xianbei soldiers had arrived, Liu Xin left five hundred soldiers waiting here and rushed back to Xiandu County. Jian Yong had returned two days ago.

Jian Yong told Liu Xin the current population situation of Xiandu County and the placement of livestock in the county. Liu Xin couldn't help but frowned after hearing this.

The population of Xiandu County is growing too fast, and there are more and more conflicts. So many prisoners are a hidden danger. If they start trouble, Xiandu County will not be able to withstand it.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Xin decided that after the city wall outside Xiandu County was completed, Xiandu County should make some changes. His power should not be limited to the thirty-mile radius of Xiandu County. Now he has the strength to plan Xiandu County.

The vast land in the south, and the area on the east side of the Xianbei grassland that was driven away.
