Stunning weapon

The retreat of the barbarian army caught Hua Qichong by surprise. Faced with the sudden change of the barbarian army, he lowered his brows and his expression changed again and again, as if he was not sure what to do. The army's trap is not worth the candle.If he didn't pursue him, he would have no idea what the barbarian army was up to when he watched the barbarian army retreat.

Citi is in trouble here, and on the side of the barbarian army, Harichagai is also uncertain, looking at Situ Qing beside him and asking: "Situ, people say that you are as wise as the sun, and this king has always listened to you." , I never doubted it, but now that you are doing this, it makes me a little confused."

"Your Majesty." Situ Qing said with a confident expression, "Although you and I have old friends, I am very honored to be regarded so highly by you, and I have never dared to let go. Thousands of people, there is no news so far, which makes me feel a little bad. The king is an eagle on the grassland, with a broad vision and a mind that is very comparable to others. I also believe that the king will be able to defeat Citi Chong with his own troops. , However, now is not the time for us to fight to the death with Citi Chong. I have a bad feeling about our raiding team, and Citi Chong is so calm now, it must be related to this. If we dare to chase after him, we might as well retreat, as long as we hold him back, we won’t be afraid of accidents over there, if Citi rushes to retreat, we will take the opportunity to catch up, and we will definitely be able to make meritorious deeds.”

Harichagai thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

The barbarian army and Hua Qichong were separated by more than ten miles, guarding each other.No one moved.

On Mo Xiaochuan's side, he had already led a large army to chase down the defeated barbarian army.

Originally, these barbarian soldiers thought they were escaping, and gradually slowed down, but they didn't expect that after a while, they saw the new army chasing up again.At first, the barbarian army was still fighting, but when they saw that the leader of the army this time was the unstoppable guy who rushed out with a sword last night, no one dared to stop.

Last night, the red streamer on Mo Xiaochuan's Big Dipper sword would take away many lives without a single stroke, which left a deep impression on the barbarian army.Seeing him again now, his heart trembled and he turned around and ran away.

They now regret very much why they stored their war horses so far away.

In fact, Mo Xiaochuan was able to catch up with the barbarian army, but he was not impatient. Although the speed of the little black horse was fast, he was deliberately suppressed by him. The armies of the army kept their distance.

At the same time, scouts were dispatched to check the movement of the barbarian army led by Hua Qichong and Harichagai at any time.

Kou Yilang couldn't understand the intention of Mo Xiaochuan's move. Didn't Mo Xiaochuan want to hunt down the barbarian army?Seeing that he was about to catch up, he slowed down. He just killed some backward barbarian soldiers, and did not really attack the barbarian army.So, when will we be able to catch up.

Seeing the puzzled look on Kou Yilang's face, who wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, Mo Xiaochuan couldn't help smiling, and said, "If you want to say something, just say it."

Kou Yilang hesitated for a moment, coughed lightly, and said: "My lord, let's chase like this. I'm afraid the barbarian army will flee into the grassland. We didn't bring any food and grass, only some dry food with us, which is enough for three days at most. If it is too deep, I am afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss."

Mo Xiaochuan nodded and said, "I know this."

When Kou Yilang heard what Mo Xiaochuan said, he stopped talking.After a while, he seemed to be unable to hold back, and said: "My lord, according to my subordinates' opinion, we should catch up as soon as possible, and kill as many as we can, as long as the courage to kill the barbarians is enough to make them dare not come again." .The brothers have also made great achievements. Isn’t our goal achieved? If we go deeper, if the barbarian army still has ambushes, then..."

Before Kou Yilang finished speaking, Mo Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but it is not our goal. If we rush to the past now, if the barbarian army completely retreats, they will definitely disperse and run away." In this vast grassland, it is even more difficult to catch the barbarian army. Moreover, there is one thing that attracts this king even more. It is not comparable to the few heads of the barbarian army."

Kou Yilang was a little surprised, looked at Mo Xiaochuan, although he still didn't quite understand, he stopped talking, and just followed Mo Xiaochuan to chase the barbarian army, keeping a distance.

Half a day passed by in a flash, and it was already noon when the sun reached the sky.

Kou Yilang finally couldn't bear it anymore.Of course, this time, it wasn't just him, even Chang San and the others in the frontline camp were restless, not knowing what Mo Xiaochuan meant.

Mo Xiaochuan didn't explain anymore.Has been chasing the barbarian army.

Suddenly, Mo Xiaochuan saw a yurt that stretched for several miles, which should be the garrison of the barbarian army. In this garrison, thousands of horses stood quietly in the grassland, grazing leisurely.

Mo Xiaochuan saw it, laughed, and said, "Brothers, go! Take back those horses."

Kou Yilang's eyes lit up, and only then did he understand what Mo Xiaochuan was talking about.It should be these war horses. Indeed, the barbarian army is almost all cavalry. These 10 people gave up their horses and came to attack the front camp.Then it shows that there must be one hundred thousand horses stored here.Although Xiliang also has the Northwest Grassland, which is a land of horse production, the number of troops in Xiliang is also extremely large.The horses produced in the northwest grasslands cannot supply the demand.

Even the frontline battalion, as the most elite army in Xiliang, has less than [-] cavalry, and the new army is even worse, with only [-] cavalry, which Mo Xiaochuanying wants to come.

War horses are extremely important to an army.

Whether it is escorting supplies or fighting on the battlefield, war horses are indispensable.If the new army can get all the [-] horses, then it is naturally better than beheading a few more barbarian troops.

Mo Xiaochuan urged his horse to gallop and rushed to the front of the team.Most importantly, as the commander, it seems a bit inadvisable for him to dismiss him like this. However, the new army is different from the front-line battalion.If there is no leader and Mo Xiaochuan only commands from the rear, the momentum of the new army will definitely be much worse.

Mo Xiaochuan also had to do it.

When the barbarians saw their camp, all of them were beaming with joy. During the half day, they had to escape with only two legs, which made them almost exhausted.They all miss the horses so much.As long as they have horses, they will be more confident whether they are fleeing for their lives or fighting Mo Xiaochuan.Therefore, they also speeded up and ran towards the camp.

However, no matter how fast their speed is, it is impossible for them to be faster than Mo Xiaochuan's cavalry.What's more, Mo Xiaochuan didn't try his best to catch up all the way, and the horse's physical strength was still preserved. Now he galloped at full speed, and soon chased the barbarian army.

With a wave of Mo Xiaochuan's Beidou sword, several people were chopped down.The generals following Mo Xiaochuan were also very excited.They are either battle-tested veterans like Frontline Daying and Lu Shang, or knowledgeable and wise generals like Kou Yilang.Most people understand what the appearance of these war horses means to them.

The team quickly inserted into the formation of the barbarian army like a sharp knife.

Mo Xiaochuan rushed forward and back, and soon, the barbarian army was killed in chaos. Although the generals of the barbarian army were also organizing resistance, they shot Mo Xiaochuan's army with bows and arrows, but the time in just a few days had already dragged him down. Most of the soldiers were exhausted, and it was extremely difficult to organize effective resistance.

Mo Xiaochuan led his men to kill the barbarian army, and at the same time turned his head to Kou Yilang and Chang San loudly, saying: "Ichilang, Lu Shang, you are responsible for rounding up those horses and trying not to let any of them go. General Chang and the frontline battalion Brothers, follow me and kill these barbarians."

Although Mo Xiaochuan said so, he knew in his heart that there were so many horses.They were not herdsmen, and their horse-handling skills were definitely not as good as those of the barbarian army.It is almost impossible for none of them to escape.At most, you can only run as little as possible.

Kou Yilang agreed, and led the new army to outflank the two sides.

Chang San raised his weapon, shouted to kill, and followed behind Mo Xiaochuan.

Mo Xiaochuan's arrangement actually has a deep meaning.The soldiers of the frontline battalion brought by Chang San may not be able to be used by him when Citi rushes back.If they were allowed to participate in winning the horse, Citi would want a piece of the action, and it would be difficult for Mo Xiaochuan to refuse.

Now, the people who surrounded the horses were all from their own side, so it was hard for Citi Chong to say something.

Moreover, the soldiers in the frontline battalion are stronger than the new army, so if they follow him to hunt down the barbarian army, the effect will definitely be better than the new army.

Chang San didn't think as much as Mo Xiaochuan thought. He was almost killed by these barbarians last night, and the battle was very aggrieved, which made him hold his breath now.These soldiers in the frontline battalion also hated the barbarian army to the bone.Their hatred was not only the result of last night's battle, but also the reason why the barbarian army has been harassing them for so many years.The soldiers of the front battalion, like the barbarians, have become feuds.

Therefore, after Mo Xiaochuan gave the order, the soldiers in the front camp did not think too much.They rarely fought battles like this to relieve anger.This time, being able to stab the barbarian army made them very willing to do it, and there was no resistance.

With the start of the battle on Mo Xiaochuan's side.The barbarian army finally started to flee in all directions, as Mo Xiaochuan expected.

Mo Xiaochuan didn't go after them either, Mo Xiaochuan's purpose was to prevent these people from entering the camp, otherwise, once they got on the horse, no matter whether Mo Xiaochuan wanted to chase the barbarian army or win these horses, There will be no more chances.

Therefore, he led the soldiers of the frontline battalion to stand in front of the barbarian army camp, and came to kill one by one, preventing half of the barbarian army from breaking in.

The soldiers who stayed in the barbarian army camp saw that something was wrong and started to flee with their horses.However, at this time, the [-] cavalry led by Lu Shang and Kou Yilang had already outflanked the past.

However, in the face of a hundred thousand horses.It is still difficult for these people to stop them completely.Killed many barbarians, but also ran away many horses.Just when Kou Yilang was worried that the task Mo Xiaochuan entrusted to him would be difficult to complete, tens of thousands of people appeared in the rear and rushed forward with great momentum.

Kou Yilang saw it in his eyes, and his face was happy.

These people were the infantry left behind by Mo Xiaochuan.Among them, the new army accounted for the vast majority, led by Pang Yong.

Kou Yilang immediately sent someone over to ask Pang Yong to cooperate with him to surround the horses.

Pang Yong is also a veteran for many years. Hearing the news from Kou Yilang, he immediately judged the priority of the matter at hand. Without hesitation, he separated the team and helped Kou Yilang and Lu Shang round up from both sides.

After another half a day, 3 barbarians were beheaded and killed, and the rest had already fled into the grassland and it was difficult to catch up.The soldiers from the frontline battalion who chased them out also rushed back one after another.

The new army also succeeded in besieging the horses. After a rough calculation, there were more than 7 horses, nearly [-] horses.

This has greatly exceeded Mo Xiaochuan's expectations.

Looking at the magnificent prairie horses, Mo Xiaochuan's smile never faded.

Among the new army, there were originally 3 cavalry.There are also nearly 4 cavalry on the front-line battalion. In this way, throw away these [-] people, and then throw away the damage.Now there are more than [-] infantry.Mo Xiaochuan ordered that all these infantrymen be mounted.

Of course, this is also in Xiliang.People in Xiliang are martial arts, and most of them can ride horses. Even infantry soldiers are not good at fighting on horseback, but they still have the ability to ride horses.So it's not really a problem.

For the remaining 3 horses, nearly [-] horses, Mo Xiaochuan ordered the soldiers to drive them back to Shankouzhai.However, before they had gone too far, they heard a report from scouts that the barbarian army was actually coming towards them.

When Mo Xiaochuan heard the news, he immediately put away his smile and frowned.
