Chapter 512

The main water source of Xiutuze comes from the valley water in the south mountain, and there is almost no water in the north side.A hundred miles away is the desert, not even a single dead grass can be seen.

Ma Chao reined in the reins, glanced at the boundless desert, and suddenly said "oh".

"The Son of Heaven is showing weakness to lure the enemy."

Pound on the side looked at Ma Chao puzzled, not knowing where his emotion came from.The Son of Heaven sent horses to fight hundreds of miles ahead. It was obviously a show of strength, so why did it become a show of weakness?
Ma Chao raised his whip, his body undulating with the horse's movement.

"For example, when two people compete in martial arts, the weaker often holds his sword and points forward, so that the enemy cannot easily get close. The real master stays still, and even keeps his sword out of its sheath. Only when the enemy is close to him, does he violently rise up and draw his sword to injure the enemy. All in an instant. The emperor has elite cavalry and armored cavalry, who are not afraid of melee combat, but let us rush forward for hundreds of miles to meet the enemy, isn't it a deliberate show of weakness?"

Pound was thoughtful. "So, our task is not to block, but to lure the enemy."

Ma Chao nodded slightly, and then said: "Although this is the case, it cannot be defeated in one blow. It will definitely make the Xianbei people feel that we want to fight to the death but cannot win." He sighed. "If I had known this, I would not have accepted this task."

Pound smiled bitterly.Ma Chao didn't talk much along the way, so that's what he was thinking about?
He was just a little puzzled, why didn't the emperor directly explain, and Ma Chao had to think for himself.If Ma Chao didn't think clearly, or thought wrongly, wouldn't it be a big mistake?
"Captain, I'll take someone to set up security."

"Go." Ma Chao turned over and dismounted, and the knights who followed him dismounted to let the horse rest and save horsepower.

Pound led the hundred cavalry, observing the terrain while walking, looking for a suitable position for posting.He galloped up a sand dune, looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and pointed to the two knights.

"You two stay here."

The two knights complied, got off their horses, and were about to send the horses down the dune when suddenly the dune moved, revealing two figures.

"Who?" Pound and the others subconsciously pulled out their sabers, ready to fight.

"My own people." The two men said as they lifted their white cloaks to reveal the crimson battle jackets inside. The badge on the left chest showed that they were scouts from the Weiwei Battalion.

"You are..." Pang De breathed a sigh of relief, but remained on high alert.

"The scout of Weiwei Battalion, I'm Li Quan, he's Ma Yuan, I've met the general."

The two soldiers took out their badges and handed them to Pound.Pound took the waist card and looked at it, and he was sure, and then asked his subordinates to put away the weapons.

"Why are you here?"

"I was ordered to scout the enemy, and Team Jiang arranged for the two of us to guard here." Li Quan said: "General, within [-] miles, you don't need to arrange guards. Team Jiang has already arranged it."

"Team Ginger?"

"Our temporary captain, Jiang Jiong."

"Hanyang Jiang Jiong Jiang Zhongyi?" Pang De knew Jiang Jiong, a descendant of the Jiang family with four surnames in Tianshui.But he had heard that Jiang Jiong had served as a county lieutenant and had made great contributions in the battle to pacify Song Jian. How could he become a small captain?

It can't be the same name, right?

"Yes." Li Quan seemed to know what Pound was thinking, but without explaining, he took out a horn from his pocket and blew it vigorously.Ma Yuan gestured to the side.

After a while, horns sounded in the distance, and someone also made gestures.

After a while, horns sounded from farther away.

"You rely on this to pass the news?" Pound glanced, secretly startled.There are people in several places where he thinks it is necessary to arrange guards, but he didn't notice it at all before.

Li Quan simply responded without saying anything, and leaned back again, covering himself with sand.

Pound winked at the two subordinates who were about to be arranged here. "You two stay here, listen to the instructions of these two, and learn." He cupped his hands to Li Quan and Ma Yuan who were lying in the sand: "Please call me more."

"Don't dare." Li Quan gestured and pointed to the bunker a few steps away. "You guys lie down here first."

The two knights were ordered to bury themselves in the sand following Li Quan and Ma Yuan's example.

Pound nodded again, and led his subordinates away.He walked to a few more suitable places, and also met the scouts arranged by Jiang Jiong, leaving a few people behind, and then returned to Ma Chao's side.

Ma Chao had heard the sound of the horn, and listened to Pound's story, thinking deeply. "Jiang Zhongyi is really willing to be Mr. Jia's disciple. Instead of being a majestic county captain, he came to be a student."

"You mean, Jiang Zhongyi was one of the first batch of students?" Pang De only then realized.

Ma Chao nodded and looked up into the distance. "Huang Yi, who went out with the wolf rider, is also one of the first batch of students. I heard that the emperor is very satisfied with him. Mr. Jia arranged for Jiang Zhongyi to inquire about the news. I am afraid that there is a meaning of comparison with Huang Yi. The students of this batch are originally for Liangzhou In cultivating talents, we cannot let the Kanto people become champions.”

"Tsk tsk, these two are really rivals. One is the son-in-law of the Yuan family in Jiangxia, who can let go of his identity and hang out with a group of horse thieves. The other is the son of the Jiang family with four surnames in Tianshui. Do it, be willing to be a student."

"You can only get what you have to give up." Ma Chao sighed faintly, but stopped talking.

At this time, horns sounded in the distance, wave after wave, from far to near.

Soon, one of the two closest knights got up from his hiding place, jumped on his horse, and galloped forward. "General, there is news ahead. The wolf cavalry has returned and needs to be supported. There are Xianbei people chasing it, and there are probably more than a thousand cavalry."

Ma Chao blinked. "Lingming, take Qianqi to meet him."

Pound took the order, got on his horse, took a thousand riders, and rode away in the direction pointed by the knight.

After a short time, he saw the smoke ahead and heard the sound of the horn.After walking for a few miles, he saw a battle flag embroidered with a red wolf's head.The people behind were chasing closely, but they didn't run fast, and looked back from time to time.The knights under the wolf flag often stopped and shot with the bows and crossbows in their hands to cover the retreat of their companions.

Smoke and dust billowed behind them, and the Xianbei people were chasing desperately, but they still couldn't close the distance, and instead, people kept falling off their horses.

In front of them, there was a figure running back and forth, and no one could stop it wherever it went.

Pang De ordered the horn to be blown, accelerated his gallop, and ran two hundred paces away from the wolf rider, killing the Xianbei who were chasing him.

Hearing the sound of the horn and seeing a large number of cavalry coming to help, the wolf cavalry cheered, but the Xianbei people were a little frustrated.They started to slow down, waited and watched unwillingly, then turned their horses and fled north.

Pang De didn't chase, and his subordinates circled half a circle to separate the wolf riders from the Xianbei people.

Lu Bu reined in Chitu and bowed his hands in greeting. "Under Lu Bu, may I ask who is your step?"

Pound looked at Lu Bu, startled.Although Lu Bu was covered in blood, even the Chitu on the side of his crotch had been hit by two arrows, but he was in high spirits.The same is true for the wolf riders around him, everyone is injured, but they are all full of energy, making people feel that it will not be a problem to fight again.

Pang De didn't dare to neglect, so he reported his name and explained his purpose.

"So it's you." Lu Bu knew Pang De and nodded. "Thank you, I'll treat you to a drink when I get back to camp."
