Chapter 993: Pursuit

"General, the Beidi people have fled in three directions."

When the Beidi people were scattered, Zhong Fang said to Chen Hu.

The scout cavalry they sent out were all over the snowfield, following the Beidi army all the way.

Each team of scout cavalry had 120 people.

One of these 120 people would leave the team every once in a while and send them the latest intelligence.

So, they knew the actions of the Beidi people very well.

In addition, they also judged that Mulehong really wanted to merge with Ashur.

So, he decided to go straight south along the Yinshan Mountain and take the shortest route.

Sure enough, when they joined forces, he arrived with the lancers.

"Then we will also divide our forces." Chen Hu said.

He knew the current cavalry strength of the Beidi people and their weakness.

Since they fled in a hurry, they naturally could not carry cattle and sheep to march slowly.

So in order to fill their stomachs, they had to kill horses as food.

Now many Beidi cavalrymen only have one horse to sit on.

But each of their lancers had two horses, and they were well fed and full of energy when they were in Yinshan.

In this case, the Northern Di cavalry could not be their opponent.

Even if they were divided to deal with them, there would be no problem.

"Then let's bet on which one is Mule Hongzhen?" Zhong Fang squinted his eyes.

This is a great achievement.

But since they are also chasing separately, it depends on their luck.

"The one going northeast is almost facing our direction. It is obviously a bait. They will not let their Khan take this risk. Mule Hongzhen must be in the northwest, and the one going southwest should be Ashur. They fled in a hurry, but they didn't have time to prepare carefully." Chen Hu laughed twice, knowing what was going on.

It's not that easy for Zhong Fang to take advantage of him.

"In this case, the general will catch the big one, and I will catch the small one. Let Xue Jian chase Ashur." Zhong Fang said.

Chen Hu shook his head, "We can't chase them like this. You and I will chase Mule Hongzhen together, and let Xue Jian's 20,000 people split into two groups, 10,000 people will chase Ashur, and 10,000 people will chase the group heading northeast."

"Why?" Zhong Fang asked.

Chen Hu said, "Although they can't beat us, they still have the ability to stop us from chasing. If we assign 20,000 people to chase them, they will definitely leave cavalry to block them, allowing Mule Hongzhen to escape safely. If you and I go together, we can defeat them instantly with 40,000 people."

After a pause, he continued, "As for Ashur and the group heading northeast, it would be great if we can catch up and kill him. If we can't kill him, we can chase and kill their cavalry and infantry. Only in this way can we achieve the greatest results. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't catch a single big fish in the end."

Zhong Fang nodded, "General, you are right."

So, the two of them immediately led their troops to the northwest.

Two more 10,000 cavalry teams chased Ashur and Ulanba respectively.

The Dasong cavalry split up.

Mulehongzhen, Ashur and Ulanba noticed it.

Seeing more than 40,000 cavalrymen coming in his direction, Mulehongzhen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He kept whipping his warhorse, just wanting to escape back to the grassland as soon as possible.

And Ulanba saw that his father Khan might be in danger, and immediately led his cavalry to turn around and try to rescue him.

But as soon as he made this move, he immediately regretted it.

Because he was telling the Dasong cavalry that his father Khan was indeed in the northwest.

But it was too late.

Chen Hu and Zhong Fang looked at each other, their eyes flashing with excitement.

For Chen Hu, he was just a gamble.

But now, he obviously gambled right.

"Stupid!" Ashur saw his nephew reveal a flaw, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.

He actually liked Temuta more, and always thought that Ulanba was not qualified to be a Khan.

Because on the battlefield, his performance has always been poor.

Now, this made him more certain.

Seeing that most of the cavalry decisively chased Mule Hongzhen, he hesitated for a while, and immediately turned his horse's head to the northwest, ready to rescue his brother.

However, he was wishful thinking after all.

After the more than 10,000 Dasong cavalry chasing him found this sign, they immediately blocked his way forward.

"Kill!" Relying on the large number of cavalry under his command, Ashur really gave the order.

A large number of Beidi cavalry immediately rushed towards the Dasong cavalry.

In the northeast, Ulanba was also stopped.

Facing cavalry five times their own, the Dasong cavalry rushed directly at them.

"Bang bang bang..." Soon, gunshots rang out in the southwest and northeast battlefields.

At first contact, the Dasong cavalry immediately killed many Beidi cavalry with cavalry guns.

Ashur and Ulanba were both surprised, and immediately understood why the Dasong cavalry could easily defeat the Dasong cavalry that was three times theirs.

Next, they saw a scene they didn't want to see in their lives.

Their cavalry could not break through the defense line of the Dasong cavalry, but was shot down by the enemy one by one.

When they were in a fierce battle in the southwest and northeast.

Chen Hu and Zhong Fang galloped all the way to pursue.

They let their horses run as fast as they could, and when one horse was tired, they jumped on another horse to pursue.

As he expected, due to the lack of horses, the Beidi cavalry marched slower than them.

Soon, they caught up with Mule Hongzhen's team.

At this time, Chen Hu asked Zhong Fang to lead 20,000 cavalry to block the Beidi cavalry coming towards them, ready to delay them.

He then directly outflanked them from the flank.

After chasing them for another thirty miles, he finally stopped the Northern Di cavalry!
