Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 684 White Robe Cavalry 2
After dawn, the Huns continued to attack the valley, and the defenders in the valley were fighting very hard now. This was not because the Huns outside the valley were too fierce, but because they had no reinforcements. In this case, they could only If you stick to it, no one can tell what will happen in the end.

A few tens of miles away, a cavalry force of about 3 troops had already pulled out their battalion and marched towards this side. Their task was not light, and it was up to them to reverse the outcome of the decisive battle between the Northern Border Army and the Xianbei Army.

At this time, Zhao Yun's side had also assembled, and the entire army was waiting for Zhao Yun's order.Since the day when the White Robe Army was formed, it has experienced countless battles, big and small. Facing an enemy army two or three times larger than itself, the soldiers of the White Robe Army did not panic.

"The enemy is coming." The lieutenant galloped back to report: "The spies have come to report that 2 enemy troops have abandoned their luggage, and light soldiers are rushing in. It is estimated that they will arrive here in one and a half hours."

"Abandoning the baggage, light soldiers come in surprise attack?" Zhao Yun looked at the sky and sneered, "The order will be passed on, and the whole army will retreat fifty miles. There must be no mistakes."

"Here, No."

Soon, all the soldiers of the White Robe Army pulled out their camp and retreated fifty miles. Their speed was not fast, but fortunately, the soldiers of the White Robe Army were equipped with three riders per person, so fifty miles was still very easy for them.

[-] cavalrymen of the Xianbei Army rushed forward with their horses and whips. Their task was to find the northern army, entangle them, and even destroy them.

However, when the Xianbei army came on a long-distance attack, they found that the white robe army had withdrawn long ago, and their plan to attack fell through. However, when the white robe army retreated, they left too many traces, and from the retreat traces From the looks of it, the White Robe Army had just left.

"Continue to chase." The commander of the Xianbei Army ordered after checking the surrounding situation: "Be sure to find them."

Half an hour later, Lv Bu also led his army to this place. He did not see the expected battle, and Lv Bu was a little disappointed. However, the Xianbei army continued to pursue it, and it seemed that this battle was inevitable.

"My lord, do we still have to chase?" Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu and asked, "If we continue to chase, it will consume a huge amount of our army's physical strength. Our army is equipped with one man and two riders, and we can hold on for the time being. If it's an emergency, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"Don't worry about things here." Lu Bu sneered, "The [-] Xianbei troops must have taken the wrong medicine, and they pursued them so desperately. Let's go find another Xianbei army, which is probably not far from here."

Lu Bu's army didn't continue to pursue. Originally, he wanted to pick up a bargain and watch the excitement. Who knew that Zhao Yun didn't stay at all, and retreated directly. This also made Lu Bu's plan come to nothing.

Two hours later, the distance between the Baipao army and the Xianbei army was less than [-] miles. Along the way, the Xianbei army was chasing and the Baipao army was retreating. However, it is not known whether the Xianbei army was pursuing too fast or the Baipao army The speed of retreat was too slow, and the distance between the two sides was slowly closing.

From more than 60 miles at the beginning to less than [-] miles now, the [-] Xianbei army finally saw the shadow of the white-robed army. However, seeing that the sky is getting dark, it may not be a good thing to continue chasing at this time.

"General, according to our army's itinerary, our army should be only fifty miles away from the Black Forest on the map at this time." The deputy general pointed to the map and said: "Today our army is circling around the Black Forest, and now it is quite close.

It's just that the tail is still there, shall we continue to retreat?It will be dark in another hour, and if they want to retreat overnight, they may have to light torches. "

"No need, camp here." Zhao Yun looked at the sky, then looked at the two lieutenants beside him and said, "Each of you will lead 1000 people to leave immediately. After a detour for an hour, come back and find a suitable place to ambush. Listen to my signal at night."

"No." The two lieutenants didn't ask any more questions. Their duty is to obey orders. Since Zhao Yun has this plan, he must be quite sure.

More than half an hour later, the Xianbei army finally caught up. They spent this day in the midst of the raid, and the hardships along the way can be imagined. Now it is getting dark and they are tired from running. It is not suitable to launch a battle at this time .

Anyway, the white-robed army is right in front of us, and the distance between the two sides is less than ten miles. Even if the white-robed army continues to retreat tomorrow, they can catch up with them.

After running for a day today, both the soldiers and the horses of the Xianbei Army were extremely exhausted, and there was not enough water nearby, so many of the horses were almost dehydrated.

The commander-in-chief of the Xianbei Army has already ordered camp, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to search for water sources before dark.Up to now, the commander of the Xianbei army has determined that the northern army on the opposite side should not be an elite, and together with the commander of the other side, they may not be any great talents.

Camping in the wild is not even close to the water source, which is simply what a mentally handicapped person can do.You must know how much drinking water the entire army, plus the horses and other livestock, will consume in a day. If there is not enough water, the combat effectiveness of all the soldiers will be greatly reduced, and the horses may be damaged a lot.

The Xianbei army ran all the way today, and they didn't have enough time to replenish drinking water. Up to now, they have to find a way to solve this problem.

In the camp of the White Robe Army, Zhao Yun inspected the situation in the camp under the guard of his own soldiers. His side is also far away from water sources, and the nearest lake is more than 30 miles away. So, if Zhao Yun's side is besieged, then this is a joke. It's a big mess.

"Is there enough drinking water for the soldiers?" Zhao Yun looked at the busy soldiers and asked, "Although our army is not marching in a hurry today, it is not easy. Drinking water must be guaranteed."

"Don't worry, general." A school lieutenant said with a smile: "This problem can still hinder us. When we set off, all the soldiers brought enough water bags, and we also had water tankers.

Our army prepared enough drinking water yesterday, and now the drinking water of the soldiers can last for three days, so the general does not need to worry. "

"In less than three days, we can continue to replenish drinking water tomorrow." Zhao Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Go down and get ready, rest for two hours, there will be big moves in the evening."

The soldiers in the White Robe Army camp were busy in an orderly manner. Most of the soldiers lay down on the ground after hastily eating dry food. Although they were only marching today, they were ordered to dispatch at night, so all the soldiers were hurrying to replenish their strength.

The situation in the Xianbei army camp is a bit different. There is no water source within a radius of [-] miles. They are going crazy now. Originally, they also reserved some drinking water, but they consumed too much along the way today, and now their reserves of drinking water are not enough for the soldiers. They drink, let alone give water to the horses.

"Then what are you waiting for? Even if you dig a well and open a mountain, you have to find a source of water for me." The commander of the Xianbei Army is also very angry now. He now suspects that the northern army deliberately found such a place far away from the water source to camp, but He couldn't figure it out, if there was a lack of drinking water on his side, wouldn't the Northern Border Army not be short of it?
After the night fell, bonfires were set up in the camps of both sides. For the Xianbei army who lacked drinking water, it was a difficult night. Many people could not swallow their food. Many people were even digging grass roots to chew. juice.

In the dark night, the other two white-robed troops had arrived at the designated position. They didn't leave too far away. Anyway, as long as they could confuse the Xianbei army, everyone took the time to rest after making a detour.

At midnight, Zhao Yun's leather armor got on his horse, and all the soldiers in the camp were ready.

"Destroy the enemy army at this moment." Zhao Yun ordered: "Attack, target, enemy camp."

Five thousand white-robed troops went out of the camp one by one, and the night gave them cover. Most of the Xianbei army fell into a deep sleep at this time. After all, marching in a hurry for a day is not a joke. The soldiers on the night watch are dozing off now.

Dozens of scouts in night clothes lurked near the Xianbei army camp, looking at the guard soldiers in the opposite camp who wanted to doze off but dared not sleep, these scouts all bent their bows and aimed their arrows at the front.

A few bowstring vibrations sounded, and all these sentinels who were shaking their heads were directly summoned away by the god of death.After solving the enemy sentinel, the scouts approached the enemy camp immediately, and then cleared the fence near the camp to prepare for the subsequent cavalry attack.

"Kill..." When the first team of cavalry rushed into the Xianbei army camp, the sound of horseshoes finally woke up the dozing patrol soldiers. Many patrol soldiers had already charged over with their weapons. The white-robed soldiers who entered the enemy's camp waved their weapons, whipped their horses and rushed to kill them.

For night raids, the elite of the Northern Xinjiang Army are very familiar with it, as is the White Robe Army. They have participated in many night raids, and usually practice more.

Someone set fire, someone killed the enemy, and someone was responsible for creating momentum. The two thousand white-robed soldiers who rushed into the camp cooperated very well, and they quickly made the Xianbei army camp into a mess.

Zhao Yun didn't order the whole army to charge in, it was unnecessary.This kind of night attack, as long as the enemy can make chaos, then it will be regarded as a victory for one's own side. Besides, if there are too many people, it is easy to hurt one's own people, which is not good.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers of the Xianbei Army are most likely to collapse or have a camp roar. The former is okay, but the camp cannot be defended, while the latter is much more troublesome. They will attack each other, and the hatred accumulated in normal times may erupt tonight, which will definitely make the opponent cheaper.

"Kill..." Soon, shouts of killing rang out from all directions in the Xianbei Army camp. The lives of the Xianbei army, the soldiers of the Xianbei army are now difficult to organize effective resistance.

The fire spread quickly, and the horses of the Xianbei army were disturbed. In addition, the soldiers of the white-robed army in the camp deliberately drove some horses to disturb the camp. Therefore, many Xianbei soldiers who wanted to escape could only escape the flames with their legs.

"Clear the remnants of the enemy, and the rebels will die." Zhao Yun gave an order, and the rest of the soldiers rushed up. At this time, there was no longer any resistance in the Xianbei army camp. Many Xianbei troops had already escaped. The next thing Zhao Yun had to do was Completely disintegrate the vital force of the enemy army.
