Han counter current

Xia Houlan clenched the weapon in his hand, as long as he met a barbarian, he couldn't help but want to go up and fight.Growing up in the north, he has suffered too much, and the source of these sufferings is the barbarians on the northern grasslands.

Chapter 196: Hu Ren Goes South 2

However, the battle-tested Zhao Yun was not so impulsive. During the years he fought with Gongsun Zan in the north, he had completed the transformation from a passionate youth to a mature general.

He is familiar with the combat effectiveness of the barbarian cavalry, and he is thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him.Since he is the chief general of the first army, the problems he considers and the way he looks at them are naturally different.

"Since the defeat of General Baima, the Hu people in the north have gradually become powerful. Yuan Shao's role in the four prefectures of Hebei has not suppressed the expansion of the Xianbei tribe.

The Hu people went south this time better than before. So far, it has not been heard that Yuan Shang intends to send troops to rescue the frontier. Is this army cavalry really Yuan Shang's subordinates? "

"Brother suspects there is fraud in it?"

"No, I just wonder where this team of officers came from, Xiahou Lan, you lead 300 people to meet this team of officers, and the rest follow me to ambush on both sides of the hillside.

Remember, try to engage the enemy directly.We lack weapons and armor, and our horsemanship is hard to compete with the barbarians. Only by using the terrain can we restrain the enemy. You must obey the general's orders. "

"promise,,,,,,"

In the wilderness, two thousand Xianbei people spurred their horses and chased the Han people ahead, although these Hu people were very good at riding and their horses were also very strong.

However, the speed of the enemy army in front was not slow, and the distance between the two sides was kept at about sixty paces.It seems that the other party is not willing to run away directly, this situation is very special.

Sixty steps is a very dangerous distance, and the pursuers can easily cross the sixty steps, but this team of officers and soldiers each has at least two horses, which ensures sufficient speed and mobility, and also keeps the Xianbei army behind Hanging, but unable to catch up.

What's more dangerous is that the arrows of the official army can fly this distance and hit the Xianbei army, but the bows of the Xianbei cavalry are not so powerful.

Although sometimes the arrows can be thrown for a long distance, they can't cause much damage to the Han army in front. In this way, although the official army is fleeing, they have a great advantage.

"Thief, come to die..."

At the rear of the cavalry in front, Lu Xiao bent his bow and shot an arrow. A fierce Xianbei cavalry more than 50 paces away dismounted immediately. This is the No. 12 enemy that Lu Xiao shot and killed today.

"Something doesn't seem right."

Seeing the scene where the two sides were chasing after each other, Xia Houlan who came to meet her had many doubts in her heart.The situation in front of him was a bit beyond his expectations.

The fleeing side was in a stable formation and could counterattack at any time, but the chasing side was in a chaotic formation, and soldiers were shot and fell off their horses from time to time.

"Hey, what are you doing, run, the barbarians are catching up."

The officers and soldiers in front had already spotted Xiahoulan's group of 300 people. They could tell from Xiahoulan's clothes and attire that they were not barbarians. In addition, there was no hostility from Xiahoulan's side, so the officers and soldiers told them to run away quickly.

"We are men from Changshan. You all come with me. My elder brother will meet you twenty miles ahead. Don't panic, everyone. We are all men from Beidi who are responsible for killing Hu."

Xia Houlan led his subordinates to lead the way for the army. After all, the enemies behind were about to catch up again.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we have a mission, so there is no need to trouble. If we can meet again in the future, I will invite you to drink."

The leading lieutenant looked at the surrounding terrain, and then shouted: "It's almost there, it should be here, blow the horn."

"Wooooow,,,,,,"

The desolate horn sounded, and all five hundred officers and soldiers took out their bows and aimed at the enemy behind and shot. Just when the Xianbei army was confused, a team of cavalry rushed out from the other two hillsides. It is the elite of the Han army.

Although the number of these cavalrymen who came out suddenly was not large, they had good timing and entry points. Due to terrain constraints, the remaining Xianbei people, less than two thousand, were crowded together.

The superiority in military strength cannot be deployed at all, and the bows and arrows of the Han army generally hit the target after being thrown at their side.In this way, the only ones who suffer are the Hu people.

"Ambush in the middle, retreat quickly,,,,,,"

The two commanders of the Xianbei cavalry were not stupid. They had chased the enemy for so long without any results. Now that the enemy suddenly came to help, they realized that they were ambushed.

"Uncle, why are you still staring blankly? A boy from the North Land can kill the enemy when he mounts a war horse. Don't miss such a good opportunity now."

Lu Xiao greeted Xia Houlan when he rode his horse past, and then, brandishing Fang Tian's painted halberd, he rushed into the Xianbei formation.

"What a group of fierce boys."

Seeing Lu Xiao, Wen Meng, Hu Xiong and other half-grown children rushing into the crowd, Xia Houlan couldn't help but applauded, "I'm afraid the eldest brother is still so handsome at this age."

Among the young men, Lu Xiao's attire is undoubtedly the most coquettish.Holding a Fangtian painted halberd, wearing a purple gold crown with three-pronged hair on his head, wearing a standard plate armor, and wearing an eight-back protective flag on his back.

Except that this armor is a little different from Lu Bu's back then, the rest of the outfit basically follows Lu Bu's appearance.

If someone who knew Lu Bu saw it, they would probably think that this was what Lu Bu looked like when he was young.

"Kill,,,,,,"

Faced with this situation, Xia Houlan immediately ordered to charge, with the officers and soldiers leading the charge, what was he afraid of.

Facing the enemies that suddenly appeared in all directions, the Xianbei cavalry was in a mess, and there was a sudden burst of dust and smoke in front of them. It seemed that a large group of troops was about to arrive, and the Xianbei cavalry became even more distracted.

Not long after, under the charge of [-] officers and [-] Beidi men, this group of Xianbei cavalry fled.It seems that the Hu people are not invincible, they also have times of fear.

"Chasing, rushing,,,,,,"

The lieutenants of the officers and soldiers seized the opportunity to chase after the enemy. Shooting and killing the enemy while running was their advantage. Now that the enemy was fleeing, how could they let it go.

"Uncle, I will leave the things here to you, and there will be a period later..."

After hastily cleaning the battlefield, the thousand officers and soldiers all went to chase the defeated Xianbei army, leaving 300 people from Xiahoulan's side staring at the chaotic battlefield in a daze.

"Just leave like this, don't even want the spoils of war? Hey, whose subordinates are you, how can I contact you in the future?"

Xia Houlan was indeed stunned, he had never encountered such a situation before.He was too surprised by the other party's performance.

This is the first time Xia Houlan has encountered such a fierce officer, who doesn't even bother to clean the battlefield, and who has such a good attitude.

You know, just the booty left by the Xianbei on the battlefield is enough for Xia Houlan and others to cheer, but the other party doesn't seem to care.

"Are they the official army?"

Xia Houlan had many questions, but no one seemed to be able to answer his questions.The opponent had already left, not even a wounded person was left behind.

In this way, Xia Houlan would not be able to find someone to ask about the situation, unless he followed the cavalry to catch up. Unfortunately, he did not have such a speed.

Chapter 197

In the wilderness, a group of cavalry was galloping on horseback, and the leading man seemed very anxious.Under his leadership, many knights rushed forward.

"Driving, driving,,,,,,"

Zhao Yun led a cavalry team formed by more than 1000 Changshan men to move forward quickly. According to the original plan, Xia Houlan should lead the army to attract the Hu people to his ambush location.

But there is no news after so long, which is not a good omen. With the Hu people going south, Xiahoulan and his group may have encountered misfortune.

These people are all from Zhao Yun's hometown, and they are his trusted brothers. If they were really damaged here, he would definitely feel distressed. Therefore, Zhao Yun had to abandon the original plan and follow the route to find them.
