Although the Huns had fallen, they were a people on horseback, and their dangerous surroundings had fostered their vigilant nature. Especially when Niu Fu's army was suppressing the border, the Huns were even more cautious. Every night, Yu Fuluo would send out his Scouting horse s to guard the area of thirty kilometers around him.
At daybreak, the Scouting horse of the Huns suddenly rushed into the camp, woke Yu Fuluo who was sleeping soundly, and reported breathlessly: ”Reporting … Chinese cavalry of the Chinese cavalry have already entered Pingyang, less than twenty miles away from our camp.
”Ah …” Niu Fu's army is still in An Yi, since when did they cross the Fen River? ” Yu Fuluo thought that it was Dong Zhuo's West Cold Army, and couldn't help but be enraged: ”Bastard! There were so many Scouting horse s arranged to follow the river and Niu Fu's army was crossing the river, how come you didn't notice? ”
”Reporting...” The Han army came over from the direction of Linfen. All of them had strong crossbows with a long range behind their back and a blade that we have never seen before hung around their waist. They don't seem to be Niu Fu's cavalry. There was some fear in exorcism's eyes as he said while trembling: ”That strong crossbow shot Cheng Yuan with great power. Our bow did not shoot them down, but they shot us down with their strong crossbows.”
”Ah …” This should be the cavalry of Youzhou. ” Yu Fuluo jumped in fright, his hands could not help but tremble, and he anxiously commanded: ”Immediately send my orders, all soldiers gather urgently, there's nothing left to lose, quickly retreat north.”
Although he had never fought with the cavalry of Youzhou before, he had heard quite a few rumors about the cavalry of Youzhou, especially regarding the equipment used by the cavalry of Youzhou. Ever since Yang Lin's army had arrived at the Union State, he did not dare to take even a single step further than the Union State. Over a hundred thousand Wuhuan cavalry s were completely annihilated, and Yu Fuluo definitely did not dare to go against the cavalry of Youzhou. He did not expect that the cavalry of Youzhou would still come looking for him, so he had no choice but to flee in panic.
The Huns' camp was actually very simple. After receiving Yu Fuluo's order, the Huns removed the tents, tied the horses to which they needed, and started to run. The fierceness of their seniors had long disappeared from the Hun cavalry. When they heard that the cavalry of Youzhou had come, no one dared to stay any longer.
This was the advantage of a cavalry soldier. If he could win, he would fight. If he couldn't win, he would run. As long as the space was large enough, they could gallop as they pleased. It was by virtue of this advantage that the nomadic peoples had been able to contend with the Han nationality for several thousand years, and this had become its eternal pain.
Although he remembered that his opponents were all cavalry, that was why he decided to escape immediately. However, he did not expect that Yang Lin would be so determined to eliminate him, to the point that he had even mobilized his army and set up a big net, regardless of the cost.
The northern mountain in early spring was still desolate. The snow covered the entire hillside, and the mountain forest was suffused with a refreshing feeling. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Zhang Yang led over five thousand cavalrymen and hid in the wilted yellow forests on the hillside, quietly watching the road below.
The cavalrymen all dismounted, leading their warhorses, while replenishing their food at the same time allowing them to enjoy a rare rest freely. Due to the long distance running, the warhorse seemed to be tired and kept snorting. The mountain breeze lightly blew past. A few withered leaves floated up, silently brushing against the warhorse's face, and then lazily flew off with the wind.
Suddenly, a few fast horses galloped over. The leading exorcism jumped down from his horse and knelt on the ground with a ”putong” sound, ”Reporting …” Master Commander, Yu Fuluo is currently leading Hun cavalry and running towards this direction, their exorcism is still five kilometers away from here. ”
”Hehe …” Yu Fuluo was deceived, the hundred odd exorcism s scared him and made him flee in panic. ” Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun and Zhang Yang, revealing a rare smile. These Yu Fuluo, are getting more and more timid, no wonder the Huns are unwilling to accept him. ”
So, the reason why the Huns found out about the hundred over exorcism was because Zhang Liao and the rest were bluffing. There were no soldiers behind the exorcism, their mission was to scare the Huns, and let them escape from their camp.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang Yang and the others had been in the Union State for many years, and had also fought with the Huns many times. They knew that Yu Fuluo wouldn't dare to fight with the Han army, and would definitely flee the moment he saw them. Thus, they led their army to the northern mountains, quietly waiting for Yu Fuluo to flee to the north.
”Hide yourselves and do not expose your target. Let Yu Fuluo's exorcism pass, we will intercept Yu Fuluo here. ” Zhang Liao waved to herald, along with Gao Shun, Zhang Yang, and the others, they turned and walked into the forest, finding a place to hide.
Yu Fuluo brought his Hun cavalry and fled north. They were still in Pingyang County, but when they arrived at the foot of the Northern Mountain, they suddenly saw a large group of black cavalry. From their neat and orderly bodies, one could tell that they had been waiting here for quite some time.
”Phew …” Yu Fuluo who was running at full speed pulled his horse reins and raised his whip high up in the air as he called for the entire Hun cavalry to stop. Yu Fuluo's brows tightly knitted, he quickly looked left and right, and his heart involuntarily tensed up.
”Crap …” This was the first time Yu Fuluo thought of this, his heartbeat grew even faster. If the Hun cavalry were to rush forward, he would definitely fight with the Chinese cavalry that was rushing down the mountain, and that was exactly what Yu Fuluo was unwilling to do.
Furthermore, the Chinese cavalry was taking the opportunity to descend from the mountain with an astonishing impact. The Hun cavalry would be at a huge disadvantage. In a cavalry charge, the most lethal aspect was speed. Borrowing the momentum of the mountain, the speed of the impact could be imagined for Chinese cavalry.
