Three Kingdoms

It is the coldest and darkest moment of the day. Apart from the light of torches between heaven and earth, there are only those fireballs thrown by the Han army, the light that was emitted before they burned out. Apart from that, everything else is Hidden in the thick darkness of night.

In the past year or so, thanks to the trade with the Qiang and Xiongnu, a lot of cattle and sheep were brought in. Therefore, Fei Qian's soldiers also enjoyed treatment that ordinary soldiers could not imagine. There is no meat, but a bowl of mutton soup will occasionally appear on the soldier's menu.

With the follow-up and improvement of nutrition, the night blindness of Fei Qian's soldiers is gradually improving, at least now it is becoming less and less, so that Fei Qian can boldly launch an offensive in the dark.

Seeing that Ma Yan's troops retreated, the Xianbei people couldn't help but become more arrogant and shouted loudly, as if victory was in sight. Relying on the moonlight in the sky and the light and shadow of the surrounding torches, they stared ahead. The fleeing Han cavalry simply followed and chased, like wolves smelling blood.

More than a thousand Ma Yan Han cavalry were retreating, and four to five thousand Xianbei cavalry were chasing in three waves. Xu Huang's army on the right began to attack Shu Si's troops from the side, and the Chinese army drew out its crossbows as much as possible. Soldiers and trebuchets attacked the large troops of Xianbei cavalry...

The entire battlefield is intertwined with each other, and fresh lives are passing away at every moment. The burning of forage, tree branches, torches and other items produces various burnt smells and the smell of blood mixed together, forming a unique atmosphere of war. .

Suddenly, among the Xianbei cavalry who were chasing Ma Yan's team, a war horse suddenly howled. The horse lost its front hoof and fell to the ground. It also threw the Xianbei cavalry on its horse far away and followed it. The few cavalrymen behind them couldn't hold back their momentum, and they immediately stampeded together, causing them to fall over on their backs.

Before Da Danghu could react, more horses in the forward line fell down inexplicably, causing a large number of Xianbei cavalry to fall to the ground, and the momentum of the entire Xianbei attack suddenly stalled.

Suddenly there were howls everywhere!

One after another, the Xianbei war horses screamed and twitched and fell to the ground. At the same time, they also threw the knights on the horses far away. Many Xianbei cavalry were unprepared for a while, and some of them had their hands and feet broken.

what's going on? ! Dadanghu's whole heart was suddenly tugged, feeling uncomfortable and confused.

The Han army had not just passed through the land, so how could there be a trap? !

After a brief moment of astonishment, Da Danghu suddenly thought that it might be...

At this time, a Xianbei cavalryman who was thrown off his horse was lucky enough to get up without any serious injuries. The Xianbei cavalryman behind him also controlled the horse, slowing down or bypassing him.

This Xianbei cavalryman ran up to his mount, looked at the whining war horse, and touched down along the horse's hoof. Suddenly, he touched a hard but sharp little cold thing at the bottom of the horse's foot. The horseshoe was pierced...

Damn Han dog!

They actually laid out caltrops!

The Xianbei cavalry pulled their necks and shouted to their companions to be careful, while struggling to help the horses pull out the caltrops...

Although it was pulled out, the bloody hole on the horse's hoof could not be recovered immediately. Seeing the horse lame on one leg and not daring to exert force, the Xianbei cavalry sighed.

After receiving the reward, the big Danghu in the queue roared angrily: "Iron caltrops! It's the iron caltrops of the Han army! Spread out! Spread out and avoid the iron caltrops on the road!"

But of course it's easy to say, but you have to chase in the night, and you have to avoid the black caltrops on the dark ground. Although the Xianbei people are a nation on horseback, they are not on horseback after all. Superman, how can it be so easy to distinguish the thorns on the road ahead in the dark when the light is dark and the horse is galloping?

Therefore, the Xianbei people could only either slow down their horses and pass carefully, or walk sideways to bypass this dangerous area. However, inadvertently, the Xianbei people's formation became a bit scattered. …

Also facing an uneasy task and a choice was Lysi who was abandoned at the rear of the large army.

Shusi had been paying attention to the changes and was not 100% committed to the battle. When he saw the Han cavalry starting to cover up from the right wing, his palms were already covered with a layer of sweat, which was greasy and greasy. It was cold.

As Dangdanghu and his soldiers passed behind him and turned to the left wing, getting further and further away, Shusi's heart kept sinking, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, and it seemed that he would never fall out. in the end……

No one came to deliver the message, and there was no follow-up order. What this meant was already obvious. He and these people in his tribe became pawns in Dadanghu's feint attack and were abandoned.

Shusi understood that Dadanghu just needed to be like a human shield, holding back the center and right wing of the Han army, and then creating more time for himself.

Shusi also understood that even if Da Danghu could defeat the Han cavalry on the left, and then use the opportunity to attack the Han army's center and rear from the side, shaking the Han army's command position, he might still win the battle. , but so what? I and the people of my tribe will definitely not be able to wait for this victory.

Shusi smiled bitterly, looked at the approaching right wing of the Han army, and then looked at the few hundred men of his own tribe who were left on horseback, and issued an order: "...the whole army retreats, retreats...back to camp!" "For the sake of longevity, if the big players have the ability to win, I will continue to rush out and take advantage. If I can't win...

After Xu Huang discovered the situation of the Shusi troops who turned around and fled, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but almost in the next moment he decided not to pursue the Xianbei cavalry. After all, the overall situation was more important, so he immediately rushed towards the Chinese army's formation without stopping. It roared past and went directly to the rear of the Xianbei army.

In order to avoid stepping on the iron caltrops that were unknown where they were on the ground, the Xianbei forwards pursued cautiously, and their speed slowed down unknowingly. In the dark night, the Xianbei cavalry behind them could not see the changes ahead at all, and they chased after them. Only then did he realize that many horse butts suddenly appeared in front of him...

Unexpected circumstances caused the troops behind Xianbei to continuously crowd together. The three wave attack formations that were originally as smooth as the tide are now squeezed together and turned into a bloated dough...

Cao Cao watched the attendant carrying the food box down, and wanted to call the attendant several times...

But in the end it didn’t happen…

He just put his hands behind his back and let out a long sigh...

At this moment, Cao Cao actually hoped that someone would be dumber, stupider, or even crazy for a moment...

However, Cao Cao knew that this was impossible, just like when he wanted someone to be cowardly and say less...
