Chapter 77 Hidden behind the side

The initial success of the raid made He Bai very happy, especially when there were horses riding, it would become easier to attack the thieves who were later. He Bai urgently ordered the soldiers under his command to gather and count the number of people. Under the raid with intentional calculations and unintentional raids, all 150 thieves were destroyed, and only a few of the soldiers were slightly injured. In particular, ninety-nine good horses were seized and more than a hundred sharp spears were sharp, which greatly improved the combat power of the Taiyuan County soldiers.

He Bai didn't say much, just waved his hand and the entire army immediately headed towards the outsider. In order to facilitate the discovery of the thief cavalry for contact in advance, He Bai ordered the cavalry to be located on both wings and the infantry to be located in the center, forming a half-encircled formation of crane wings and continuing to head towards the next thief's grain site.

After following the horse's hoof prints on the snow, there was no more than three miles to go, someone would report that something was wrong in front of him. Soon, he heard the sound of horse's hoof sounds in front of him. He Bai knew that the contact personnel of the thief had returned, so he hurriedly ordered the infantry to hide with the help of the white cloak again.

The cavalry of He Bai's army was not allowed to ride on war horses, because hundreds of cavalry ran together in the darkness, and the sound would be particularly loud and could be heard from a very distant place. Therefore, they just led their horses and walked on both wings, and the ambush was responsible for infantry. Only when things were not done were they allowed to ride and chase them.

However, He Bai strangely discovered that the thief cavalry, who had been running lightly, suddenly stopped moving two hundred meters away from He Bai's army. When He Bai was surprised, Cheng Qi suddenly shouted beside him: "No, our army has just killed a lot of people, and the blood on his body has not yet been eliminated. The thief was at a disadvantage and just smelled the bloody smell on our army."

He Bai was shocked. The distance between the thief was not very good. The arrows could not reach and the person could not chase after them. He rushed to send an order and said, "Transfer the order quickly and surround it and kill it, otherwise he would lose all his efforts."

Cheng Qi said, "Don't worry, lord, please continue to hide and wait until I go and kill him first."

After saying that, he jumped up and rushed towards the thief. The thief was frightened and turned around to escape. But when he saw that only Cheng Qi jumped up and chased him, he was immediately happy. Looking at the dark curtains around him that were still quiet, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and took the bow and arrow, and slowly shot Cheng Qi at the running thief with one arrow.

Cheng Qi suddenly rushed forward with a tiger, immediately dodged the arrow, jumped over again, jumped up again and rushed forward. The thief was shocked and looked left and right, and saw a dark area around him, as if only Cheng Qi was the only one, and he couldn't help but bend his bow and shoot him again.

Cheng Qi, who was running forward, hurriedly turned to the left. A sharp arrow continued to fly back with a strand of Cheng Qi's long hair until He Bai took dozens of steps before he could not fall down. He Bai grabbed the snow with both hands, and was secretly worried about Cheng Qi. Another sharp arrow broke through the air, and Cheng Qi could no longer avoid it. He had to put the knife in front of his chest, just blocking the arrow that was shot in front of his chest.

"Ding..." A crisp sound of gold and iron fighting was particularly loud in the middle of the night, and could be heard at least two or three miles away. Cheng Qi roared and leaned his body slightly, and his whole body was like a cheetah, and his speed suddenly burst out.

It was a distance of seventy steps, and it arrived in five or six breaths. Just as the thief was panicked and shot again, Cheng Qi suddenly disappeared. When the thief was stunned, another low roar sounded in front of the horse's head, and a sharp sword light instantly reflected into the thief's eyes.

He Bai, who was watching the formation, was also surprised to find that at a certain moment, Cheng Qi seemed to have brought out a afterimage, and disappeared in an instant. When he saw each other again, the thief and the good horse sitting down had already fallen to the ground at the same time. He Bai's soldiers stepped forward to observe the results of the battle, and couldn't help but gasp. The thief and the war horse were actually cut off by Cheng Qi at the same time.

The blade was neat and smooth, with human blood and horse blood mixed together. The thief and horse were constantly twisting in the snow in pain, and were not dead for a while. Cheng Qi stood on the knife and gasped heavily.

He Baiyu kept smacking his tongue in his heart. Although he usually knew that Cheng Qi was good at running long distances, he didn't want to suddenly break out in a short period of time. It took only five or six seconds to run away, which was even more flying than the legendary flying man. If in the future, who can compete with Cheng Qi's speed?

He Bai couldn't help but think of the later generations of the Sui Dynasty, Mai Tiebang, who came to the future of the Shenxing general Mai Tiebang. He didn't expect that he would also get a powerful general who could be comparable to Mai Tiebang. It seems that in the Xiliang army, there was also a Shenxing general named Hu Cheer. I don't know which of them is stronger and who is weak? When they have time in the future, they must compare.

Since Cheng Qi's Shanben and Shenfa, He Bai ordered Cheng Qi to go first, looking for opportunities to kill the contact cavalry thieves in each garrison, and then rushing troops to attack the camp. After that, he was extremely smooth along the way and would break every village. Five hundred light infantrymen slaughtered more than nine hundred thieves overnight.

Among them, there were 600 thieves who were elite cavalry of Guo Daxian’s thief team. They were all attacked by He Bai when they were unprepared and were all swept away. The casualties of the army were only a few dozen people. This casualties were almost a miracle in ancient times when killing one thousand enemies and 800 of them were killed. But this incident happened in He Bai’s army.

The battle was so smooth that He Bai could hardly believe that he might have lost the battle. He unexpectedly still had a chance to succeed. In this way, the initial persistence may not be wrong. Only by persevering until the end can one finally see the dawn of victory.

At the time of Mao, they were all panicked and made a meal; at the time of Chen, they marched in line; at the time of Si, more than a thousand elite troops in Guo Daxian's capital city had arrived in front of the fort of Qiu and Yin Er clans, located twenty miles north of the city. When the people of the two clans outside the fort were panicked when they saw the thieves coming, they left their things and fled to the second fort. Soon they fled into the fort and stood behind closed doors.

Guo Daxian led his troops to look at Qiu and Yin Er's clan members, and couldn't help laughing. If you dare to burn your own food, you will know that such a result will be achieved. Guo Daxian looked at the second fort with blood-devouring eyes and said in his heart: If you strive to break through these two forts within today, you will eliminate the last hidden danger of daring to resist yourself in the county.

Guo Daxian knew the last resistance force in Duxiang well. There was Fangshan behind the Qiu family fortress and a small river in front of it. There were fields covered with snow on the left and right, so he could only deploy attacking the fortress on the left and right sides. However, on the small river in front of the Qiu family fortress, there was a large stone bridge seven or eight feet long. Although it was not wide, it could also be arranged as a restraint.

Yin's Fortress is built five miles southeast of Qiu's Fortress, and is built against the river. There are countless dense forests in the north, small hills and hills in the northeast are screens, and Z-shaped rivers are protected by the west and south. The fortress can only attack from the northwest and southeast.

It is said that the Yin family's village was originally located on the south side of the river and lived across the river from the Qiu family in Hebei. It was only because there were black mountain bandits in Changshan that they had to move to the north side of the river to form a corner with the Qiu family. At this time, Guo Daxian was located in the old village of Yin and used it as a siege base.

Not long after Guo Daxian led his troops, two thousand troops drove in a mighty manner to the east, and it was Guo Daxian's unarmed auxiliary soldiers at the intersection of the two counties. After a short while, nearly a thousand cavalry rushed towards the southwest. This was the more than a thousand cavalry that were the most elite under Guo Daxian.

After the army under his command arrived, Guo Daxian immediately ordered all directions to order the Wujia auxiliary soldiers to split a thousand people. After crossing the bridge, he went to Yin's Fortress and surrounded them from the southeast and southwest. After crossing the bridge, he ordered thousands of auxiliary soldiers to cross the bridge and to the left and right of Qiu's Fortress to prepare for the attack.

Guo Daxian led more than a thousand elite troops, and set up formations across the river just before the stone bridge. When he arrived at Qiu's fortress, he was almost wiped out by auxiliary soldiers, and then sent his elite infantry to fight to achieve success in one battle. Since Qiu's family left, how could Yin's family survive alone?

Guo Daxian ordered: "The commander of the Jingqin deputy commander, the cavalry can be divided into three parts, one with three hundred cavalry to the west of the Qiu family fortress, and one with three hundred cavalry to the southeast of the Yin family fortress, and the deputy commander personally led four hundred cavalry to the dense forest in the north of the Yin family fortress. Ruoyin dared to go out of the fort to rescue Qiu family, and ordered the deputy commander to take the opportunity to attack him. Ruoqiu and Yin two cavalry to abandon the fort and flee, and the three cavalry can take the opportunity to annihilate him."

"Report... Qu Commander, Deputy Commander of the Jingqi, said: Because he sent people to patrol and guard the war last night, he rushed over again this morning. Even if the soldiers were not tired, the good horses under his seat were tired. Deputy Commander of the Jingqi requested a temporary rest for an hour, feed the war horses together, and then divide the troops."

"Um..." Guo Daxian waved his hand and said, "Today's battle mainly relies on infantry to attack the fort. The cavalry only needs to fight when the two thieves abandon the fort or rescue them. The timing will be determined by the deputy commander. But don't let the thieves of Qiu and Yin clans go away carelessly."

"Get orders."

Not long after, nearly a thousand cavalrymen began to feed the war horses in the back of Guo Daxian's formation.

First, I took out the material bag on the horse's back, which was already filled with finely divided wheat tangerines. After the war horse was 70% full, I changed to a material bag full of wheat bran. After the war horse was about to eat, I took out a large handful of cooked soybeans, salt, and stone powder.

After eating all the soybeans, salt and stone powder, drive the horse to the river that has not yet frozen to drink water. After the water is finished, drive the horse to slowly drive the horse to digest the food in the belly. Everything is done well and refined, so that people can't find any problem.

But no one among the thieves would raise war horses so carefully and specialize in caring for war horses like their own children. This is just a Taiyuan County soldier who had already changed his appearance, Li Ping, and Cheng Qi's troops under He Bai.

Because there are many horses in the army, He Bai intends to train the soldiers of the army into the dragon cavalry, which are horse infantry who usually march on war horses and fight off the horses in wartime. Therefore, these thousand infantry are familiar with cavalry and maintenance of war horses. In less than half an hour, everything was done.
