Chapter 5 Silver Flying Cavalry

There was no Li Jue and Guo Si defender in Wu Pass south of Guanzhong. What they were worried about was Yuan Shao, the strongest among the heroes of Guandong, so Wu Pass did not station troops, and Yan Yan easily occupied Wu Pass and guarded him narrowly.

At the junction of Hedong and Hongnong, Li Jue and Guo Si pursued the emperor and his party, but were unexpectedly attacked by the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu and Baibo thieves and returned home in a defeat.

At first, Zhang Ji, who welcomed the emperor to Sizhou, saw that the situation was not good and could not control the emperor, so he immediately fled.

Li Jue and Guo Si, who had just passed Tongguan, brought more than 40,000 remnants and defeated each other, complaining to each other, accusing the other party of the previous mistakes and putting the blame on the other party's current precarious situation on the other party. However, the two of them did not cooperate and did not dare to really part ways, otherwise they would be even weaker. What they lost now was political power and military power to more than 40,000 remnants.

Neither of them were far-sighted and the army was fully supplied. The two planned to return to Chang'an first, and then find out where there were supplies for them to plunder, and then send troops to plunder military supplies.

On their way back to Chang'an, they could have entered the county town to rest, but they burned, killed, looted, and earned little. They had to speed up their return. First, they were worried about the pursuit of the Southern Xiongnu behind them, and second, they had to return to Chang'an first to supplement some of the supplies they had hoarded in the camp, and then make plans.

In the wilderness south of the Wei River and west of Zheng County, Li Jue and Guo Si set up a camp tent before dark and planned to rest here for a night.

Half of their army are Han people in Liangzhou and Qiang and Hu people. They are brave and fierce, but they are also scattered in military discipline. They go out to fight or robbery during the day, and become sleepy when the night comes. When this habit becomes a habit, their vigilance at night will greatly decrease. It is not possible to achieve immediate results by suddenly commanding them to cheer up.

As night fell, the sky was dark, and more than 40,000 soldiers from Li Jue and Guo Si formed a military camp in chaos. There were no fences outside the camp, and there were no solid barriers outside the camp as the most basic protection.

The patrol soldiers sat on the grass holding weapons and leaning back against each other in groups. Some were sleepy and dozing off, while others were already snoring like thunder.

They were defeated soldiers, with low morale and no fighting spirit. At this moment, they were trapped and felt that they were suffering endless pain.

The night wind blew, the grass and trees swayed, rolling up and whistling.

Guanju Mountain, the birthplace of Luoshui, happened to be in the south of Li Jue and Guo Si camped. At the foot of the mountain, tens of thousands of horses were tied together neatly and orderly. Not far from the horses, there were five camps in an orderly manner and implicitly formation.

Each battalion only lit a little fire on the periphery, and its vision was dim, but it was enough to detect the surrounding situation.

Among them, in the middle camp, Gan Ning walked out while issuing military orders.

As early as a day ago, he had mastered the movements of Li Jue and Guo Si, and released ten waves of detectives and information was sent back every half an hour.

When Li Jue and Guo Si return to Chang'an, they must have taken the shortest distance in a straight line. Whether they rest in the county at night or pass by during the day, Gan Ning waits for his leisure to work, and he will definitely be able to defeat him without preparation.

However, Gan Ning didn't expect that Li Jue and Guo Si would dare to camp in the wild.

It's a god-given opportunity!

There were 10,000 Yinling Flying Cavalry, divided into five battalions. Ganning led one battalion itself, and the other four battalions had a captain command and dispatched by Ganning.

On a quiet night, five large camps with bright flames quietly extinguished the bonfires, packed up their luggage, and each soldier acted quickly to execute military orders.

With horses in hand, the scattered troops gathered into a neat army in just a blink of an eye.

Wearing light armor, white feathers were inserted on the shoulder armor and helmet, the soldiers of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry were all full of energy and did not feel tired or lazy at all because of the night.

This is the result of rigorous military governance, which can obey orders and overcome all kinds of difficulties.

At midnight, Gan Ning led the Yinling Flying Cavalry to the north to rob the camp

More than an hour before dawn, Gan Ning led his army less than ten miles away from Li Jue and Guo Si's camp. They had not galloped their horses before, but they were afraid that the sound of horse hooves disturbed the enemy.

Gan Ning, with a firm expression and sharp eyes, took the torch lit by his subordinates, raised it and threw it forward. The torch fell into the air, and the light flashed across a trajectory that looked like half a month.

This is the command

The entire Yinling Flying Cavalry charged, and the troops divided into five groups to attack the enemy's camp at night

The tired Li Jue and Guo Si army were sleeping. The sound of horse hooves rumbling from all directions. Some people screamed and caused the explosion camp, while others were sleeping soundly.

Li Jue hurriedly wore armor and walked out of the camp. Seeing the chaos in the camp, he pulled out his sword and roared: "Calm down and prepare to face the enemy."

Before the Yinling Flying Cavalry could reach the death, the sound of horse hooves from afar scared them.

The most feared army that has suffered defeat and has unstable morale is accident. Soldiers with weak psychological defense will be startled and cause chain reactions, resulting in a bombing of the camp. If the enemy fails to arrive, they will be in chaos. In severe cases, they will even kill each other, mistakenly thinking that the person next to them is the enemy.

Guo Si ran out of the camp barefoot. Seeing this scene, he quickly took the weapons and put on his armor. He led the horse and summoned his subordinates to escape. Li Jue yelled for a long time and had little effect.

puff

The patrol soldiers outside the camp kept falling down, the horses roared into the camp, and the Yinling Flying Cavalry and Five Horses swept over

The Yinling Flying Cavalry holding a spear does not have the ability to control strings, but their military discipline and rigorous execution of tactics can be called a strong soldier!

Five people copied Li Jue and Guo Si's camp from the south and east. The horse speed did not decrease, and they rushed all the way. The Yin-Leather Flying Cavalry entering the southeast was like a gust of wind. Wherever they passed, blood danced everywhere.

Gan Ning took the lead and led his army to rush in from the south, circled around and headed west, without stopping. Although Gan Ning killed countless enemies, he felt extremely disappointed. Because of the chaos in the camp, many of the enemy troops fled north, leaving behind people who were not able to fight back.

Li Jue and Guo Si were never found. Gan Ning received the military order to retreat with one blow, so the Yinling Flying Cavalry swept away from the southeast without stopping. No matter how many enemies they killed or how many remnants there were, they retreated directly towards Chang'an.

The Silver Flying Cavalry, who was running at full speed, was hard to count how many enemies they killed in this battle. They were sweeping by like a storm. Even if the enemy wanted to chase them, they might not be able to catch up.

The Yinling Flying Cavalry, who had lost less than 300 times, won the battle first. After dawn, Gan Ning led his army to retreat to Chang'an. The captain beside him was still a little unsatisfied and confused.

"General, Li Jue and Guo Si's camp is in chaos and has no power to fight back. It is obvious that they can be beaten up in one go, why don't we pursue it?"

Gan Ning was a little disappointed when he failed to capture or kill Li Jue and Guo Si. However, he raised his face and looked at the bright skylight and said lightly: "The formation of the Yin Ling Fei Cavalry is a great effort. The lord has taken a lot of effort to form the Yin Ling Fei Cavalry. If the loss is serious, I will lose my high hopes. The lord's victory last night was because of his full preparations and he was unprepared for him. Although there were many enemy troops who fled, Li Jue and Guo Si were missing. It is hard to guarantee that there were many loyal soldiers around him. Before setting off, my order was to retreat westward after the robbery. If the military order was changed in the middle, we would be in chaos first. Even if we gathered and then chased him, Li Jue and Guo Si might have been prepared. Even if we win, we will have to pay the price."

The captain next to him suddenly realized and stopped asking.

Yin Lingfei Cavalry, who had won the battle, retreated towards Chang'an under Gan Ning, while sending scouts to inquire about Li Jue and Guo Si's movements.

Li Jue and Guo Si, who were fleeing north, came to the edge of the Wei River before stopping. After a little rest, the two found that there were only less than 20,000 soldiers left by their side, and they were in tears.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Guo Si was so indifferent that he paced back and forth by the river. All his soldiers were listless and depressed.

Washing his face by the river, he drank a few sips of river water. Li Jie wiped the water stains on his face, and his rough face showed a hint of ruthlessness and said, "Do you think the person who robbed the camp belongs to Ma Teng and Han Sui?"

Guo Si was stunned, thought carefully, and hesitated: "It is indeed possible, but since they are here to rob the camp, why don't they chase us? Will there be any change in Chang'an?"

If Chang'an falls, they will not only lose their way out, but also fall into the hands of the enemy.

Li Jue walked to Guo Si, stared at him, and gritted his teeth and said, "In the east, there is the bastard who is Going to Bei, in the north, in the Wei River blocking us, in the south, it was the direction where the enemy attacked us last night, escaped from the south, blocked by the Qinling chasm, if Wuguan was lost, we would be dead in the south. Now we can only go back to Chang'an, and we have no food and grass to fight back to Chang'an, the only way back to Chang'an is."

Half of their situation is caused by the enemy and half of them.

Guo Jia wanted to force them to come to Chang'an to die, and thank them for their evil deeds in Guanzhong and his military rations were exhausted. Guo Si had no idea if he wanted to plunder the people and supplement military supplies. After years of exploitation in this surrounding area, the people left their hometowns and were deserted. Even if they wanted to rob, they had to have a partner.

Unintentionally planting willows creates a situation where a strong wall and clear field is entirely caused by Li Jue and Guo Si. It is said that the evils of heaven can be forgiven, but the evils of oneself cannot be survived.

Guo Si, who has been arrogant for several years, has become more and more greedy for life and fear of death. It is understandable that human nature, but at this time, a decision must be made. Where should he and Li Jue go?

After thinking about it, they had to fight back to Chang'an. They had no food and clothing, so it was better to fight to the death than to sit and wait for death.

After reorganizing the army, Li Jue and Guo Si led the army back to the camp to check whether there were still remaining military supplies, but unexpectedly the camp was in a mess. The soldiers who survived and survived and fled for a lifetime swept the supplies in the camp and turned into birds to scatter and made their own way to make a living.

With a tremendous anger, Li Jue and Guo Si encouraged the soldiers to fight back to Chang'an with them to find Ma Teng and Han Sui to avenge him!

When Gan Ning entered Chang'an with triumphant victory, Guo Jia, Ma Teng and Han Sui also arrived in Chang'an at the same time.

Han Sui and Ma Teng could not have imagined that Guo Jia would take Chang'an without any effort.

Unexpectedly, Gan Ning led his army to severely damage Li Jue and Guo Si's army. According to the scout cavalry's investigation, Li Jue and Guo Si had less than 20,000 troops coming to Chang'an.
