Chapter 1094: Xianbei Cavalry Traces Appear
Huyanda led a group of subordinates to ride horses in the direction of Chifeng City in the south. Fortunately, although the hundreds of people under him were not cavalry, they were herdsmen who were proficient in riding skills. It can be said that their riding skills were far superior to those of others. They were comparable to the ordinary cavalry of the Xianbei people, and even the palace cavalry of Lord Xianbei. Although there was no chance of winning in a face-to-face battle, there was no problem in escaping for one's life.
After running wildly for more than ten miles, they finally got rid of the Xianbei sentries temporarily. Huyanda asked everyone to slow down their horses and take a rest.
"Everyone! Take a short rest, dismount and rest for a while, waiting for the sentry rider's report!" Huyanda ordered while turning over and dismounting;
"It's really strange. Why did we encounter so many rangers today? This is not a gathering place for the Xianbei tribe!" Huyanda murmured to himself;
At this moment, a pair of cavalrymen came galloping from the east. A junior colonel led by them got off his horse and walked quickly to Huyanda to report: "General! Fifty miles east, we found several groups of Xianbei rangers. Major. There are dozens of people, and as many as nearly a hundred people!”
Not long after, sentry riders from other directions also reported back one after another. Xianbei rangers were also found in the north and northwest. Just like in the east, there were only a dozen riders and more than a hundred riders.
After hearing the news, Huyanda fell silent for a moment. There was a herd of wild horses only fifty miles away from here in the southwest. It was the wild horse herd of the yellow and brown horse king that they had been paying attention to. Should they go or not? Go, I don’t know why the Xianbei people have so many wandering horses here, but although it is not clear, Huyanda still has some vague ideas in his heart.
But if he doesn't go, if it goes as he expected, as soon as a war starts, the wild horses will definitely flee far away. It will be difficult to find this horse king next time!
Thinking of this, Huyanda stood up and walked towards his horse. As he walked, he said: "Everyone, get on your horses. Let's turn to the southwest!"
Everyone stood up and walked towards their horses. When Huyanda got on his horse and was about to take the lead, the captain of the assault cavalry stepped forward quickly and grabbed his reins: "General! We can't go any further to the west. We are very likely to encounter Xianbei." Most of the cavalry must return to Chifeng immediately!"
Hu Yanda said: "The Xianbei people's cavalry are more than fifty years away from us, and most of them are further away from us, so there should be no problem in terms of time!"
The cavalry captain shook his head resolutely: "No, general! We can't take risks!"
Huyanda said angrily: "Asshole, our horses are fast and we can escape before the Xianbei people catch up with us."
The cavalry captain remained unmoved.
"That's a BMW!"
The cavalry captain shook his head resolutely, his hand still holding the reins of Huyanda's horse tightly.
"Asshole, let go! I am your general and I order you to let go!"
"The general said that no matter how good the horses are, they can't withstand your lives. And my captain said it before we set off. The general once said that our mission is to protect your safety. When it comes to roping horses and training them, we must listen to the general. But the security aspect is subject to our arrangements, so General, even if you kill me, I won’t agree to it!”
When Hu Yanda heard this, he laughed angrily. Just when he was about to speak again, another group of sentries returned. The leader rushed directly in front of the two men and reported: "General! Captain! The Xianbei people are coming! The Xianbei cavalry's The Sentinel Cavalry has arrived thirty miles away!"
When Huyanda heard this, he knew that his idea had failed. He did not expect that the Xianbei people would come so quickly, so he said to the cavalry captain in front of his horse: "Okay! You win! Hurry up and get on the horse, let's return to Chifeng!" "
When the cavalry captain heard this, he was overjoyed. He quickly let go of his hand and turned over to lie on his horse.
"Let's go, the Xianbei army is invading. We must rush back to Chifeng as soon as possible! Everyone, please work hard and set off immediately!" Huyanda ordered loudly;
"Don't worry, General! We can all hold on!" Everyone responded one after another;
"Well,
let's go! Drive..." Huyanda took the lead and galloped towards Chifeng. Behind him were hundreds of knights and more than 2,000 horses.
After traveling south for two hours, the group soon encountered several cavalry sent by the Chifeng camp to look for Huyanda.
"Great, General Huyan, we received the order from the lord from Chengde, asking you to quickly withdraw to Longhua or Chengde. We have sent people to search for you on the grassland for several days, and finally found you." The leader It was the chief of the camp who stayed behind.
As soon as Huyanda ate, it turned out that Huangfu Chaobo sent someone to order them to withdraw. It seemed that something had indeed happened, so he quickly asked: "What happened? Why did the lord recruit us back?"
The visitor said: "Back to the general, it is said that all the Xianbei tribes on the grassland have jointly sent troops!"
"Sure enough, no wonder we encountered so many Xianbei rangers when we were catching horses." Huyanda suddenly realized, quickly turned to look at the people around him and said: "Give the order, let everyone change horses, we must speed up." Go back to Chifeng. By the way, have the personnel and horses in the Chifeng camp been withdrawn? "
"Returning to the general, all the personnel and horses in the camp have made arrangements to withdraw three days ago. It is estimated that they will soon reach Longhua."
"Okay, let's rush back to Chifeng immediately. After resting there for one night, we will rush back to Yanbei County." Huyanda ordered;
The group immediately changed their war horses and headed south to Chifeng. At this time, it was already afternoon, and they were still more than a hundred miles away from Chifeng. Fortunately, it was still late summer and early autumn, and it was still dark late. The group hurried and finally arrived at the camp outside Chifeng before it was completely dark. At this time, there were less than a hundred cavalry guards in the camp, and they did not withdraw because they knew that Huyanda and his group had not returned.
After returning to the camp, Huyanda handed over the affairs of the camp to the cavalry captain, and then he rushed towards Chifeng City under the protection of several guards. Although he knew that when he arrived outside Chifeng City, it should have been completely dark, but he had to tell the city guard Wang Men as soon as possible about the appearance of the Xianbei cavalry, so that Chifeng City could have one or two more days to prepare.
Sure enough, when Huyanda arrived at the north gate of Chifeng City, the gate had already been closed. In desperation, Huyanda had to dismount and walk to the moat outside the city alone, state his identity, and ask the captain of the city gate to inform Wang Men, saying goodbye to him and saying that he had an urgent matter to discuss with Wang Men. Huyanda knew that with the relationship between his lord and Wang Men, Wang Men should rush to the city wall to see him.
