Pi Lixian frowned: "Why is this the case? Our army is the pursuer, and they are the retreaters. How did they manage to have fewer casualties than us?"

"This is what the subordinates didn't understand!"

At this moment, the sound of horns, shouts of killing, and even the beating of drums came again from outside the camp. This time it was different. The Wei army attacked from three directions at the same time. The complexion changed, and one by one quickly followed Pi Lixian and ran out.

Before Pi Lixian could give an order to stop the soldiers and horses from attacking, the three generals who were guarding the night led their troops out of the camp to meet them again.

Pi Lixian immediately ordered: "Go and send an order for them to come back, go!"

"Yes, Tullifa!"

After all, the transmission of the military order was still too late. By the time the military order was delivered to the commanding generals, the three commanding generals had already returned with their troops. This time, the three armies lost a total of more than 700 people.

When Pi Lixian and some of his generals got the report, everyone's face was pale at this moment.

"Lifa, until now, we have lost nearly 5000 people!"

When this number was heard in Pi Lixian's ears, Pi Lixian felt dizzy for a while, his body couldn't stand stably, and he wobbled.

"As soon as Lifa!" The generals yelled worriedly.

Pi Li was first supported by Kuhahan, he slowed down, and quickly issued an order: "From now on, no one can attack without an order. The task of night watch is still in accordance with the previous deployment. The night watch men and horses are waiting in full formation. As long as the Xianbei don't enter the camp, we won't take the initiative to attack! If they enter the camp, we will counterattack quickly!"

"As ordered!"

Pi Li first knew that his deployment was problematic. If he waited until the Xianbei entered the camp before attacking, it would actually be too late. As long as the attacking Xianbei's troops reached a certain number, they would have enough impact to crush them, but He believed that the leading general of the Xianbei people did not have the guts to attack on a large scale without knowing the reality of the camp.

Pi Lixian made the right bet. During the subsequent harassment by the Wei army, no matter how loud and provocative the Wei army was, the Rouran people always guarded the camp and did not attack. It was pitch black, and without knowing the situation inside the camp, Wei Jun did not dare to rush into the camp, so he could only keep beating gongs, drums and horns outside the camp, or rushing to the camp to shoot arrows. It is not known how many casualties the Rouran people suffered.

Slowly until dawn, Pi Lixian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and all the people in Rouran also breathed a sigh of relief, but Pi Lixian found that most of his sons were in low spirits, and the harassment last night made his sons exhausted do.

"Tang Lifa, today...do you want to continue marching?" Kuhahan went to the tooth tent and asked Pi Lixian.

Pi Li thought for a while with a tense face, and said firmly: "Continue to march! Before you leave, take someone to check the scene of the battle last night. I need to know some news about Wei Jun!" 8}

Chapter 372 Exposure Location

The wind on Yeyangling was very strong. Zhao Junsheng stood on the mountain and looked at the surrounding grasslands, mountains, rivers and rivers.

Guo Yi came over and clasped his fists to report: "Dutong, this subordinate ordered someone to get some hot food, dinner is ready!"

"Okay!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, turned his eyes away, turned and walked down Yeyang Ridge.

"This is a letter from Daying by the Gonglu River just now!" Guo Yi took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng took it and looked at it. There was Hua Mulan's handwriting on the envelope. He put the letter in his arms.

In the camp at the temporary gathering point, the generals of the Wei army were eating dry food and eating dried meat with boiled water, gathering in small groups to discuss last night's raid and ambush.

A small iron pot was hung on a tripod, and the batter with wild vegetables and dried meat was cooking in the iron pot, and it was exuding a fragrance.

Guo Yi used a silver bowl to hold a bowl of batter, and handed it to Zhao Junsheng along with chopsticks.

Zhao Junsheng took a look at the bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "These Rouran people really enjoy it, they actually use silver to make bowls!"

"What's so strange about this, there are also gold utensils!"

Zhao Junsheng found a horse to sit down, put the bowl and chopsticks on a stone nearby, took out the letter from Hua Mulan from his arms, and opened it to read.

At the beginning of the letter, Hua Mulan first expressed her cryptic longing, and then said that the army had been pursuing the retreating direction of Rouran Khan Datan's troops, but they were still unable to catch up.

The West Route Army chased along Sushui for a while, Tuoba Tao felt that the Rouran people were deliberately leading the West Route Army to pursue, so he decided not to follow the steps of the Rouran people, and gave up continuing to pursue along Sushui, but Take the army to turn to Tuyuanshui {that is, the Tuyin River in Mongolia} to the west.

On the way, the West Route Army passed by a camp left by Han Dynasty general Dou Xian when he attacked the Huns in the north. This is called Dou Xian's former base.Needless to say who Dou Xian is, he was a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty who beat the Northern Huns and was forced to move westward. Before Huo Qubing, he "sealed the wolf to live in Xu", and later, there was Dou Xian, "Yan Ran Legong".

In terms of military exploits, Dou Xian is not inferior to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. The reason why his reputation is not as good as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing is because he is a powerful minister of foreign relatives. At that time, the Dou family almost controlled the entire Han Dynasty. It is sad and deplorable that a generation of famous generals fell into such a fate after being deprived of military power and finally given death in the fief.

This letter was written by Hua Mulan when the West Route Army was resting in Dou Xian's old base, and she entrusted the courier to deliver it. The messenger spent a lot of time on the way to find the East Route Army.

Zhao Junsheng put away the letter and hid it in his arms. Judging from the situation described in Hua Mulan's letter, the situation of the West Route Army is not bad. Attacking at this time, they were all defenseless and could only flee in haste.

The progress of the West Route Army is relatively smooth, but this does not mean that there is no danger. If the Rouran people really wait for the opportunity or gather their troops, it will be difficult to say what will happen next.

After putting away the letter, Zhao Junsheng picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate his breakfast.

A black spot appeared at the end of the distant world, and the black spot soon turned into a knight galloping on horseback.

Not long after, the knight ran into the temporary gathering place and dismounted in front of Zhao Junsheng to report: "Qi Dutong, the Rouran people are packing their things and seem to plan to continue marching. They sent troops to check the scene of the battle last night!"

Zhao Junsheng stopped to eat and asked, "Have the corpses of our fallen soldiers been recovered, and has the battlefield been cleaned?"

"Insufficient manpower, the corpses of the fallen soldiers have not yet been recovered, and there will be no time to clean the battlefield in the future!"

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "It seems that we have some secrets that may be discovered by Rouran people!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Junsheng told the scouts: "The task of the scouts is to continue to keep an eye on the Rouran people and not let their brigade out of our sight, and you don't need to worry about the rest!"

"Obey!" The scout clasped his fists in agreement, got on his horse and left.

After breakfast, Zhao Junsheng called Gao Xiu to explain: "Send someone to tell Bai Jinguang that the task of the Thousandth Cavalry Team has changed slightly today.

To harass the Rouran army again, but to intercept and kill the scout horses sent by the Rouran people. If the Rouran people send a team of 100 or more people, don't hesitate to withdraw immediately and notify us in time to lead them away. After opening, the siege will begin! "

"Okay, this subordinate will make arrangements now!"

Rouran camp.

Everyone is preparing to continue marching, the tents have been put away, and they will be able to leave soon.

Huhehan rode his horse and ran to Pi Lixian, jumped off the horse and handed over a bow, "Look at this, Lifa, this is a cavalry bow of the Wei army that we found from the scene of the battle last night. The subordinates have tried shooting this bow. The shooting range of our cavalry bows has reached 150 steps, while our cavalry bows have a range of only about [-] steps!"

Pi Li showed shock on his face, he solemnly took the longbow and tried to pull it away, the strength required was only slightly larger than the cavalry bow used by the Rouran people, but the shooting range was increased by half.

"I understand. No wonder our army suffered heavy casualties when chasing the Wei army last night, but they only lost very few troops, because their bows have a longer range than ours. They can shoot down our army, but our army shot Not to them!"

Huhehan pressed his chest and said, "Exactly!"

Pi Li first returned the bow to Huhehan: "Keep it well, and bring it back later for people to ponder why it can shoot farther than our bows and arrows. We must make a bow with the same range, or even a bow with a better range than it. A bow with a longer range!"

That being said, Pi Lixian also knew that it would be impossible for the Rouran people to make such bows and arrows by themselves. Rouran is not a nation that is good at making tools and weapons, and there is no such skill in the tribe. craftsmen.

"Yes!" Huhehan agreed, and took the longbow.

Pi Li first saw that everyone was almost ready, and he ordered Kuhahan: "Go and pass on my order to divide all the horses into three parts, and the second and fourth armies are deployed on the left; The [-]rd and [-]th armies are in the middle; the [-]st and [-]th are the right wing; the remaining troops of the other armies are in the rear of the center to take care of the cattle, sheep, horses, and luggage!"

"In addition, deploy guard rangers five miles away from the brigade in the front, back, left, and right directions of the army. As a unit, once you find the Wei army in the brigade, send someone to report it immediately! In addition, send elite scouts to find out where the main force of the Wei army is. , Find out the size of their troops!"

"As ordered!"
