Liu Xie was naturally very happy to easily defeat the Huns.
But I'm not at ease.
For him, it was never a problem to defeat the Huns head-on, and how to expand the results of the war was the problem.
Even if you cannot kill the grass and kill them all, you will still kill them to hurt the Huns. You know that you cannot easily provoke the Han people.
He has done everything he can do, and the next thing he will do depends on whether he is lucky enough.
If it can be killed? The battle will be half successful.
The other half depends on whether there is enough spoil seized and whether the tactical concept of fighting with war can be realized.
Seeing the Huns scattered in birds and beasts, the battle of the armored cavalry ended, they slowly gathered and returned to the position.
The Yulin Cavalry took over the battlefield, chased and killed the remaining enemies, and looked for the Xiongnu baggage team.
The Huns carried cattle and sheep during battle. Cattle and sheep were supplies that could move on their own, but their speed was limited and they did not have time to retreat.
In the case of the defeat of the Huns, these were Liu Xie's spoils.
The Huns who lost their baggage would face the possibility of starvation to death unless they could find alternative supplies.
On grasslands and even deserts with vast land and sparsely populated grasslands and even deserts, only a small number of people are destined to find food. Most people have only one choice when they lose supplies and want to live: to join nearby tribes.
For example, you just defeated your own enemy.
Therefore, the tribes on the grassland split and merged, like wind and clouds, and never ended.
Yesterday was still a life-and-death enemy, and today we are the partners who fight side by side. Everyone is used to it and doesn’t think there is anything wrong.
On the battlefield that is several miles wide, people keep gathering to surrender.
Liu Xie ordered people to take over and interrogate the location of the baggage.
At this time, the scouts who had previously taken missions with the Huns came in handy. They were familiar with the nearby terrain, understood the Huns' words, and were more proficient in interrogation skills. They didn't take much effort to ask for the news they wanted.
.
Liu Xie set off immediately.
——
A pursuit unfolds along the Yellow River.
?Lu Dao horse galloped wildly, besides more than a dozen armored cavalrymen, there were more than a hundred light cavalry who followed one after another.
The Arctic Rider was the first to show fatigue.
Since yesterday afternoon, they have not been able to rest well. After nightfall, they have traveled more than 30 miles to enter the battlefield. Although they have not fought for a long time, they are defeated by the Han army's armored cavalry as soon as they come into contact with them, and their physical strength is not consumed much.
But I can't afford to run continuously.
The defeat was in a hurry, and there were not even replacement war horses, and the speed of the armored cavalry was significantly slowed down.
?Luo really hopes that the armored cavalry can keep up, at least bring a vest.
For the Huns, vests were more precious than war horses. War horses could be replenished at any time, but vests were a scarce thing.
He wanted the Arc rider to dismount and concentrate his vest and take it away as much as possible, but he found that the Han army was chasing him very tightly and did not give him a chance to breathe. Several Arc riders had just slowed down and were about to transfer, Han
The military knight followed and without saying a word, he cut the knight to the ground.
?Lu was so scared that he was so scared that he had to give up his armored cavalry and continue to run away.
The Arctic Cavalry, who had no time to transfer, could no longer run and was caught up by the Han army one after another.
Someone turned around in vain and avoided the Han knights.
They unexpectedly discovered that the target of the Han knights was not them, but?
The Armored Cavalry was relieved and watched the Han army knights galloping away from front of them, chasing them all the way.
Soon, the light cavalry around them could no longer run. Their weight was lighter than the armored cavalry, but their physical strength was also quite large, so they could no longer run.
In the end, except for a few of the personal guards with better mounts, most of the light cavalry gave up. They strangled the mounts, dismounted and surrendered, or turned around to meet the Han knights who were catching up with them, and bought some time for them.
——
Zhang Yang took the lead and rushed to the front.
Although he is much older than the king's uniform, his physical strength is not weak and his experience is richer than the king's uniform.
After receiving the emperor's edict, he prepared for the pursuit. Not only did he distribute the wine and meat rewarded by the emperor to his soldiers in time to boost morale and accumulate strength, he also specially selected some elite soldiers and prepared a man and two horses for them.
.
Cavalry all have spare horses, but the Han knights were not as luxurious as the Huns. One person had two horses or even three horses, and the spare horses were only about 20% of the knights.
Zhang Yang had more than a thousand riders, and spare horses were just over three hundred.
Three hundred cavalry is the last maximum force to participate in long-distance pursuit.
Zhang Yang only picked two hundred people, two hundred of the best knights, equipped with five hundred war horses.
The wine and meat rewarded by the emperor not only replenished their physical strength, but also boosted their morale.
These two hundred knights were full of energy and stared at them.
Whoever blocks them, they will kill whoever they want.
As he chased after him, more than ten Hun knights killed by Zhang Yang himself.
——
Wang Fu followed closely behind, his eyes were so anxious that he was furious.
Seeing Zhang Yang right in front of him, he couldn't catch up, and the distance was getting farther and farther away, Wang Fu realized that there were some problems with his arrangements.
Although there are many troops, the speed is not fast enough.
If this continues, let alone catch up with Zhang Yang, it is impossible to catch up with Zhang Yang.
If you can't even catch up, what's the point of no matter how many troops there are?
Wang Fu gritted his teeth and pointed his hand all the way over. "You, you, you, dismount and give up the horse."
The knight who was pointed out was confused. "Why do we chase after you without a war horse?"
"Chasing your mother." Wang Fu was so anxious that he cursed. "Didn't you see it? We can't even see other people's assholes. If you chase it like this, you can't dismount and give the horse to others.
”
The knights were immediately anxious and no one was willing to dismount and gave such a good opportunity to others.
Everyone can tell that, "Luo is already a phoenix with hair loss and a wolf without claws. As long as it can catch up, it will be a great achievement.
At this time, who is willing to help others?
Wang Fu scolded so much that the corners of his mouth were covered with white foam, and no one was willing to accept the order. In desperation, Wang Fu had to say: "If you can be killed? Luo, I will enjoy the title of Qianhuhou, and all other rewards will be shared equally.
Take out three years of fief income and get rid of me quickly, otherwise I will kill you first.”
The knight who was clicked had no choice but to jump off the war horse and give up the mount to his companion.
"Catch more prisoners." As the king's clothing ran, he did not forget to shout. "The spoils belong to you."
A knight who was forced to dismount spat. "There is a big spoil, and the Huns are all as poor as ghosts."
"Silly." Another knight smiled. "Although the Huns are as poor as ghosts, their war horses are valuable. There are still fierce battles to fight next, and the loss of war horses will definitely not be small. You can not want prisoners, but the war horses are more and more. If so,
If you are lucky, you will catch a few good horses and you will be given away.”
"Yes, yes." The others woke up like a dream, got happy again, and gathered together to form a battle formation.
After being killed by Zhang Yang and Wangfu, many Huns fell into a pool of blood, and their horses that lost their master stood beside them and gnawed on the grass. These Han knights quickly gathered enough horses and turned into cavalry, becoming despaired.
