Chapter 829 The Wind on the Grassland (5)
Although Dugu Yuhuan didn't sleep most of the night, he was in good spirits. Hearing that the Han army had set up a fake camp here, with less than a quarter of the men and horses actually there, he immediately summoned troops and horses overnight and galloped close to Baili arrived here the next morning!
As the scouts said, the Han army did not have many men and horses at all. When they saw Dugu Yuhuan approaching with great momentum, they were immediately defeated. They did not even have time to dismantle and destroy the camp, leaving only a small part of the forage and baggage and fled in a hurry. .
Although there was not much fierce fighting, just killing a dozen people who were left behind by the Han army, General Zuo's demeanor and demeanor have recovered a lot. Dugu Yuhuan laughed and left behind the Han army all the way. Walking forward in the camp, he laughed and chatted with someone here, and then pointed his riding whip towards the south and whipped it in vain, as if the riding whip would hit the Han general in the next moment...
The fragile adhesion between the ethnic alliances on the grassland forced Dugu Yuhuan to take certain risks to attack the Han army's camp, because he needed a victory to stabilize his position.
The wolf king is usually held by the strongest member of the pack, and of course enjoys the highest level of treatment. However, once the wolf king shows his tiredness and weakness, other wolves will immediately start to stare at him. The position of the Wolf King.
The same is true for the customs among the Xianbei tribe.
But now, after winning a victory over the Han army, many Xianbei people changed their previous decadent attitude and rushed into the Han army's camp, fighting for each other's items left by the Han army, and happily went to themselves He put it in his arms and tied it behind his horse. There were even a few Xianbei men quarreling over the rice left on the baggage cart in the camp. They fought with each other and accidentally tore a sack, causing the grains to fall to the ground.
Dugu Yuhuan glanced at it and didn't care. He just waved his hand slightly and asked a guard to mediate. Then he raised his riding crop, waved it around, and said loudly: "Everyone, speed up, while it's still dark. , we can still go back to the tent and have a good rest!”
It's already past noon since midnight. I haven't eaten anything or rested much. Although this small victory stimulates my nerves and I don't feel much tired yet, my body won't lie. I'd better go back early. It's safer.
"Oh oh oh..."
Seeing the energetic answers from the Xianbei men, Dugu Yuhuan also let go of some of his worries, nodded with a smile, and then swayed forward slowly on horseback...

"Hahaha, great, I finally found it! It actually hit our hands!" Ma Yue fiercely patted the shoulder of the Bingzhou cavalry who had just ran back, looked like he had done a good job, and laughed a few times. Then he shouted loudly, "Brothers! Hurry up and bury the pot to cook, put more dried meat! Set off immediately after eating! This time the great achievement is ours! When Yinshan is pacified, I will treat everyone to a drink!"
"Do you want to go to Xiden Tower?" Several veterans joined in the fun and cheered.
"Ah, you brat, you want to bankrupt me!" Ma Yue was not annoyed and laughed, "Okay, if we can really chop off that General Zuo's head this time, I will get a penny for the bounty. No, just bring them all out and treat everyone to a drink! You can go to the Xiden Tower then!"
"That's great! But it's expensive to stay in a hotel. We can just have wine, meat and rice to keep us fed..."
"That's right, there are so many people, we really need to eat freely. The price at Xiden Tower, tsk tsk, I say, is not as good as the sheep-faced scorpion from the east of the city. The taste, tsk tsk..."
Everyone cheered for a while, and then began to cook. While working, they discussed which place was more economical, as if the first prize had already fallen into their hands...

The moonlight was in the sky, shining brightly on everything on the grassland. Although the light was much worse than during the day, there were still no problems in seeing things. Several experienced scouts found some leftovers in the previous Han army camp. of imprints. The few southern Huns on the periphery scattered around, using the light of torches to carefully examine the horse hoof prints left by the Xianbei people among the complex ground marks.
"Captain Ma, look! These are the grains of wheat that have been missed!"
"The Xianbei people ran in this direction!"
Seeing that the Bingzhou cavalry and the Southern Huns' scouts had come to the same conclusion, Ma Yue waved back, and more than a thousand cavalry followed the traces left by the Xianbei people under the beautiful moonlight, killing them. Go forward.
The night wind blew Ma Yue's shirt, but it couldn't cool his fiery heart at that moment. The grassland was so vast, and Dugu Yuhuan led his troops and tribesmen to change positions from time to time, so he wanted to confirm that General Zuo The position of the big account is not easy, but now...
Just like rats that eat greasy food always leave greasy footprints on the ground, such a large group of Xianbei people coming and going naturally pointed the way forward for Ma Yue on the grassland.
The moonlight is like water and the grassland is picturesque.
Although the moon is not dark and the wind is high, it is still a good time to kill people.
***********************
Some dust fell from the top of the tent into Dugu Yuhuan's wine bowl.
After winning the battle and grabbing some food and grass from the Han people, although it was not a complete victory, at least a small celebration was still possible. Dugu Yuhuan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so after ending the bonfire celebration After the banquet, I returned to the big tent and felt a little excited. I couldn't sleep for a while, so I asked someone to get some food and wine and sipped slowly.
Dugu Yuhuan frowned and just used his fingers to brush away the black ash that fell into the wine bowl. As a result, another bunch of dust fell from the sky, fell on the table, and fell into the wine bowl...
"Um?"
Dugu Yuhuan had already drank some wine, and his nerves were a little sluggish. He stared at the wine bowl for about ten seconds, until he saw slight ripples in the wine bowl, and then suddenly shouted: "Come here! Someone come! Blow the horn to warn us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a panic was heard outside the tent, and someone rushed in: "General! Han people! Han people's cavalry!"
The sky in the distance began to dimly light up.
At this time, even the dullest person could notice the trembling on the ground. The small stones and sand were pulsing. This kind of tremor was extremely familiar to every Xianbei person, and everyone's face turned pale instantly!
This is the tremor caused by the hooves of a large number of war horses hitting the ground neatly, and it is so close!
In the vaguely discernible gray and white, groups of Han cavalry suddenly appeared in the distance of the Xianbei people's sight. It was only then that the faint sound of horse hoofs was heard in the wind. Needless to say, this group of cavalry The Han cavalry, all wrapped in cloth and fur on their horses' hooves, each holding a piece of cloth, launched a surprise attack on General Zuo's camp in the darkest part before dawn, at this moment of dawn!
Um? Fei Xianyu has heard some rumors recently, and some people actually talked about water... hum... hum... Fei Xianyu made it clear that when it comes to Xianyu, can we talk about water? Don’t even look at the size of Fei Xianyu...
