When the city of Chang'an was hustling, hundreds of Han army scouts were already scattered on the vast land like swarms of bees.

In the era of cavalry, scout war was the most intense, cruel and important component.

The scout cavalry is the same as the reconnaissance aircraft on the US and Japan aircraft carriers on the Pacific battlefield during World War II.

It is the key link in determining the victory or defeat of a war.

To be honest, whoever can win the victory of the scout war and take the lead in exploring the enemy's position, deployment, and reality will win the victory of the war!

In order to confuse the Huns, all the scouts of the Han army put on the seized Hujia costumes, rode Hujia horses, and even brought some surrender Hujia nobles as guises.

This trick is very effective.

Guo Rong relied on the unique sheepskin coat and felt hat on Hujiu, and successfully walked around behind them from the main force of the Hun cavalry.

And he went north and went deep into the cliff.

So he saw a Hun cavalry, about ten people, who seemed to be the leading troops, looking at each other in the distant wasteland.

The distance between the two sides is about seven or eight miles.

Guo Rong could even see someone among the other party waved to him.

After a moment of thought, Guo Rong made a decision: "Let's go! Let's get close to them and try to catch the living!"

So, he took his subordinates to move closer to the other party.

And the Hun cavalry were also riding their horses and slowly leaning over.

After a quarter of an hour, both sides could see each other's face clearly.

The typical thick and short figure of the Huns, with round faces and thick eyebrows, were all exposed to their eyes.

It is obvious that the appearance of the Han army was also clearly seen by them.

Even, they didn’t need to see Guo Rong and his party clearly before they realized something was wrong!

Han people with an average height of more than seven feet are giants in the Huns!

Not to mention, the Han people had hair, while the Huns had hair and braided hair.

"Han people!" the Hun cavalry screamed and immediately responded.

They hurriedly pulled out their weapons from their waists and immediately stepped up their horse's belly to speed up.

but……

It's too late.

Because the Han cavalry came in planning.

The Huns just rushed to fight.

The battle ended extremely quickly.

In just a quarter of an hour, this Hun cavalry team was all captured and killed.

"Master!" A nobleman with a flattering smile on his face, dragged a Hun who was captured by him to Guo Rong, knelt down and bowed in very stiff and awkward Chinese words: "I have captured a Hun bastard for you!"

"Good job!" Guo Rong immediately smiled satisfied and praised him: "Shehe, you are almost as good as a husband of Zhu Xia!"

The Hujie nobleman, who was called Shehe, smiled foolishly when he heard Guo Rong's reward and received the three good students' certificates, and kowtowed in a hurry: "Master is too awarded! How dare I compete with the Chinese heroes? As long as I can serve the great angels, I will be satisfied!"

Guo Rong listened, just smiled.

The performance of these surrendered Hujie nobles in the Han Dynasty's scout sequence is no longer enough to describe it as "brave" and "loyalty".

They are like the most well-behaved hounds, and the most docile cats.

Almost 200% of the effort was used to complete the orders and tasks issued by the Han generals.

This made Guo Rong a little difficult to understand.

So he went to ask Shizhong Gong, but he got an answer that made him a little confused - the second Japanese devils are more fierce than the Japanese!

but……

In any case, these people have become the best helpers and translators of the Han army scouts now.

"Ask him... whose subordinate he is, what are he doing here?" Guo Rong ordered.

"Abide by the order! Master!" She He kowtowed and bowed again, then stood up, looked at the Hun who was tied up by him fiercely, and took out a knife from his waist with a grim smile, walked to him, and said something in the Hun language.

After hearing Shehe's words, the man was immediately frightened and trembled all over, almost crying and told everything he knew.

After hearing this person's words, Shehe turned around and turned into the gentle cat again. He nodded and bowed to Guo Rong, "Great Master, I have asked clearly. He is the little king of Zuo Datu family of the Xiongnu Lan family..."

"They followed the orders of King Dingling of the Huns, Wei Lu, to contact King Guyan, Xu Yanzhu..."

"Wei Lu is here too?" Guo Rong immediately asked.

"Report to the master, yes!" Shehe replied: "According to the prisoners, Dingling King Wei Lu had led his main force across the Gonglu River three days ago and came south. Now it is only three hundred miles away!"

"Three hundred miles?" Guo Rong immediately focused his mind: "In that case, Wei Lu will arrive here in at most three days!"

And the troops of the Guyan King Xuyan were at most eighty or ninety miles away.

In other words, the two may return to the army within four or five days at most.

Guo Rong turned his horse's head and ordered: "Cleaning the battlefield immediately, burying the body, and then retreating immediately!"

"We must go back and report to Shizhong Gong immediately!"

………………………………

At this time, Xu Yanfeng finally realized something was wrong.

He has now led his army into Munan and arrived in the Yanze area.

It is less than two hundred miles away from the Bonze.

If the cavalry advances at full speed, you can see the shadow of Zai Ze at most two days.

But……

Along the way, his inner uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

Although, the scouts reported that they had discovered scattered Hujie cavalry approaching.

But these cavalrymen seemed to be afraid of his scouts?

Usually, it has disappeared without a trace before it is approaching.

Moreover, until now, Tu Gushe has not sent anyone to contact him.

By this time, if you don't know there is any problem.

Then he would be a little stupid.

"Tu Gu Shouting this bastard!" Rubbing the jade ring on his thumb, Xu Yanfeng looked up at the sheepskin map hanging in the dome. It was a typical work of the Huns. It was rough and simple, with only rough geography and terrain. He gritted his teeth, Xu Yanfeng had to consider a terrible result - Hu Jie people may have a problem.

But, what exactly is the problem?

Xuyan was confused.

"Come!" he shouted loudly.

Several trusted nobles who were waiting at the gate of Qionglu immediately opened the tent door, walked in, crawled in front of him, and kissed the carpet in front of him: "What are the great King Guyan, what are the instructions?"

"Remember the Yanze we passed by yesterday?" Xu Yanfeng asked.

"Remember!"

"Send people to occupy the place immediately!" Xu Yanfeng ordered: "Send the entire army again, and retreat from now on, and gather in Yanze!"

"Send someone to set off at Gong Lushui immediately, contact King Ding Ling, and ask him to lead his army to help him immediately!"

As a qualified commander of the Huns, Xu Yan still knows the importance of it.

He knew very well that once Hu Jie had a problem.

No matter which one it is, he is no longer suitable to move forward.

Because ahead is very likely to be a trap.

On this vast grassland, cavalry is a flexible but extremely bulky army.

Flexibility is because the cavalry's rotation speed is very fast.

As long as you don’t consider formation, it’s very easy to run two or three hundred miles a day and one night.

And it's because of the bulkiness.

After running for one night, all the cavalry must be repaired.

Even if the man still has the strength, the horse is exhausted.

Once in this state, the cavalry will be directly degenerated into infantry.

Therefore, in the war, the cavalry of both Han and Huns must occupy a base for easy defense and difficult attack, and can be used as a base for the camp.

As a place for renovation and defense for our cavalry.

And this base must be large enough first.
