"Mr. Murong Ji led his troops to Changqing Lake overnight." Wu Meng shouted angrily when he saw Xiong Ba.

Xiong Ba did not say anything for a long time. Murong Ji and Murong Gu's tribal army were completely lost at Yuyang City, causing the tribe's strength to plummet. Murong Feng had long wanted to annex the two tribes and unify the Murong family again. How could he let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity go? Murong Ji and Murong Gu knew very well and knew that they were fooled by Murong Feng. But if they hadn't been greedy and took the initiative to lead troops to fight, there would be such a disaster. After all, it is no wonder that Murong Feng can only blame them for being too greedy. Although the fate of waiting for the two tribes is self-evident, everyone would have to struggle before they die, and see if there is still a chance to revive the dead. So it is understandable that they are anxious to return to the Xianbei.

"Let them go." Xiong Ba said calmly.

"But we just received the news from Rikangfeng..." Weiran said nervously, "They were intercepted by the Han army in Changfengtun near the mountain pass."

Xiong Ba's face changed drastically, he immediately interrupted Weiran and asked anxiously: "Where is the cracked wind?"

"He has crossed Changqing Lake with his troops and is retreating to Guangping."

Xiong Ba sighed and said with lingering fear: "This kid runs fast, it's good. Oh, keep talking." He looked at Weiran and signaled him to continue.

"The people sent by Li Jianfeng told us that the Han army set up a trap at the mountain pass, and they were almost surrounded by the enemy. According to their estimates, the number of Han soldiers should be five or six thousand, otherwise they would definitely not dare to lure them into Changfengtun and try to surround them. According to their scout's reconnaissance, the main force of the Han cavalry that suddenly appeared behind Changfengtun in the middle of the night was Leopard's troops."

Xiong Ba and Wu Bao who were following behind him looked solemn, and they vaguely felt the danger coming from all directions.

"If this is the case, Lord Murong Ji led more than 1,000 people to leave the main force and rushed to Changqing Lake overnight. It would be very dangerous along the way. Since the Han army's troops did not surround the Rift Wind, they would likely directly penetrate into the direction of Changqing Lake and cut off our retreat. If Lord Murong Ji's troops encountered the main force of the Han army in Changqing Lake, it would be a lot of danger." Weiran analyzed.

"The soldiers of the Chingha said that the Han cavalry who attacked them last night also attacked the leopard flag. Pishishan and Changfengtun were fifty or sixty miles apart, and it was dark. How could he appear in two places at the same time in about the same time?" Yu Wenshang said loudly.

"The reinforcements of the Han people have increased or they are leopards in it?" Yu Bang said softly. He now felt that the Han boy with disheveled hair was becoming more and more unpredictable. When he fought side by side last year, he was still a soldier who knew nothing. But as time went by, this boy had become a thorn on the Xianbei people, unable to see or pull it off.

"If there were two or three thousand people attacking Pishishan, then at least seven or eight thousand Han troops were blocking us now. Will so many troops suddenly appear in Yuyang City two or three miles?" Wu Bao frowned and said suspiciously.

Wu Meng nodded in agreement, "Wu Bao's words make sense. Maybe it's just that the Han people are deliberately making a fool of themselves and deliberately making a bluff."

"Now the scope of our scouts' activities is limited to within fifty miles, and it is unlikely that there will be any accurate news in a short period of time. Both of these people have appeared. Even if there is not so many people, there should be three or four thousand people after the discount." Weiran immediately refuted Wu Meng's statement.

"I once said in Pishishan today that it would be possible to send four or five thousand troops to advance to the vicinity of Changqing Lake. Now Guangping City is still in our hands. If the Han people want to retake it, they must completely defeat us. So I think that whether it is the Leopard's troops or the troops that are preparing to encircle and annihilate the Killing Wind, they may appear in front of us at any time. It may be a night attack or an ambush us near Changqing Lake. Everyone should be careful and be ready to fight at any time." Xiong Ba waved his hand and signaled everyone to return to the headquarters and camp and rest.

"Sir, should we send someone to tell Lord Murong Ji about the situation immediately and ask him to lead the troops back?" Weiran hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Xiong Ba shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, he is the commander of the first army. He actually took his trusted troops to escape first regardless of everyone's safety. It's too unreasonable. Let him fend for himself."

Zheng Xin ran back panting, and the man and horse were as sweaty as they were fished out of the water. He gave Li Hong a huge surprise.

"Murong Ji and Murong Gu led more than a thousand people to escape from the main force of the Haozixiang army and rushed to Changqing Lake overnight."

"Where is Xiong Ba?" Li Hong asked.

"After Murong Ji left the Hakuziwei for half an hour, Xiong Ba led his troops to Hakuziwei and had already set up a camp. Murong Ji went first and was weak. We can run fifty miles overnight to Changqing Lake to attack them. People, this is a good opportunity, and we must not miss it." Zheng Xin said excitedly.

Li Hong nodded with a smile.

"Order the scouts to monitor the movements of the main force of the enemy in Hakozi."

"Tell Zhang Xun and Dou Qiao that they should immediately lead their troops back to the mountain pass and pick us up across the river at any time."

"Trust the ministries to assemble immediately and prepare to set off."

The rapid and loud horn sound immediately tore through the tranquility of the night and rang continuously by the Baoqiu River.

After Li Hong ambushed the Xianbei grain transport convoy in Pishishan, he seized more than 600 war horses. With the consent of Zhang Xun and Dou Qiao, nearly 500 soldiers were drawn from the infantry in Lucheng and Yongnu, and once again expanded the cavalry to two thousand. The people in the northern border areas of Youzhou basically rode horses. Although these people lacked cavalry training and did not understand the combat methods of cavalry, they were still more than enough to kill people as the large troops charged. The soldiers were also very happy. The military pay of the cavalry was much higher than that of infantry, and being able to join the regular cavalry team was also the dream of many infantry soldiers. Li Song immediately returned to the team.

There is still the crescent moon in the sky, but it is particularly bright tonight, and the cold and soft moonlight gently falls on the vast plains. The stars in the sky blink excitedly and peek at the gray earth below curiously.

Li Hong and his cavalry were bathed in the dim moonlight, running like lightning.

Murong Ji was worried and depressed. He sat on the war horse weakly and ran towards Changqing Lake with the army without any haste. As long as he passed the narrow area between Changqing Lake and Baoqiu River, he would go further forward to the plain of a flat mountain. From there, you could reach Guangping City directly, or you could directly reach Baitan City and return to Xianbei.

Murong Ji was anxious. He wanted to return to his Golden Eagle Tribe as soon as possible. He and the Han people fought for decades, winning and losing each other, but they had never suffered such a crushing defeat. This time, not only was he defeated, but he was very likely to lose the entire tribe. The price was so high that it exceeded his life.

Last year, the landing of Huo Diao, who encircled and annihilated the Red Ri tribe at Xingmengyuan, lost most of his troops and Murong Invaded. This time, I originally wanted to go to the Han Kingdom to plunder and make up for the huge losses of the tribe last year. Who knew that human calculations were not as good as the heavens. Just as the victory was about to be won, everything was destroyed with the Han cavalry that broke out from the darkness.

It was originally a failure, but even such a crushing defeat was still acceptable to him and Murong Gu. The two tribes united to fight for a few years and their vitality could be restored to most of their vitality. But now it is different from the past. The ambitious Murong Feng has been eyeing them and has been planning for a long time.

Murong Feng, like them, has a dream, that is, to reunify the Murong family in his lifetime and rebuild the huge power of the Murong clan in the past. The three of them have their own ideas, and no one is convinced, and each wants to be the boss. Now Murong Feng is already the leader of the Xianbei in the Central region, and his strength has expanded rapidly. The Huoyu tribe has quickly become the largest tribe of the Xianbei in the Central region.

Originally, the two tribes of Golden Eagle and Black Eagle were already at a disadvantage. Many of the big and small men in the tribe had a relationship with Murong Feng openly and secretly. Now that the defeat is caused, once the news is transmitted back to the tribe, a fight will inevitably start within the tribe. The leaders of the small tribe who have defected to Murong Feng will take the opportunity to leave them and turn to the Fire Eagle Tribe. The chain reaction caused by this will cause the Golden Eagle and Black Eagle Tribe to collapse immediately. In this case, as long as Murong Feng stands up and shouts, everyone will join the Fire Eagle Tribe for rich property and security guarantees, and the Murong family will immediately complete the unification of the Fire Eagle Tribe.

They would never allow this situation, so they would rush back to the tribe before the news of the defeat reached the Xianbei and suppress those who dared to betray them with limited troops. Only when the tribe is not in chaos, Murong Feng would find an excuse to start. As long as Murong Feng did not blatantly instigate and indulge his subordinates to rebel, the two tribes could continue to exist independently.

Murong Weng rushed over and said loudly: "Order the troops to speed up their advance and cross Changqing Lake as soon as possible."

"The soldiers have been retreating at noon, and have not rested for four or five hours, and are very tired. Now they are suddenly ordered to speed up. I am afraid that everyone's physical strength will be unsustainable?" Murong Ji said worriedly.

Murong Gu said worriedly: "Sai Qianfeng's troops have never heard of news since they arrived at Changfengtun last night. There are only two situations that may cause the scouts of Jian Qianfeng to not be able to send out the news. One is that his troops have been surrounded by the Han army and cannot send out the news. The other is that his troops were defeated by the Han army and have fled, and no one has sent us the news. Regardless of that situation, it means that the main force of the Han army has crossed the Baoqiu River. If Jian Qianfeng has been defeated, then the Han army is likely to free up and quickly arrive at Changqingwei to cut off our retreat."

Murong Ji hesitated for a moment: "The wind is very strong, and it may take a lot of effort for the Han people to eat him. Maybe they are still fighting in a stalemate near the mountain pass."

Murong Gu scoffed and said with dissatisfaction: "It's probably useless to estimate that any possibility is useless, that's just possibility, and it's meaningless. The most realistic thing is that the enemy has appeared in front of us. If they want to block us, the Changqing Lake area is the best battlefield. And if we want to get rid of danger, the only way is to leave here as quickly as possible."

"What if the enemy has arrived at Changqing Lake?" Murong Ji was silent for a while and suddenly asked.

Murong Gu's expression changed and his expression firmly said: "I would rather die in battle than kneel in front of Murong Feng to express allegiance to him. Are you willing?"

Murong Ji looked dark, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Unacceptable shame. You are right, let's bet on our lives."

"Send the order and if you want to go back alive, speed up your progress." Murong Ji shouted at the commander.

Li Hong looked up at Xin Yue, who was hanging high in the sky, and was very anxious. He could not know the current location of Murong Ji's army, and his eyes were dark.

He turned around and shouted to Zheng Xin who was following him: "There is Changqing Lake ahead. Why is there no news from your subordinates?"

Zheng Xin was worried that his subordinates would have an accident. He did not answer Li Hong, and looked around nervously.

"Here you come." Zheng Xin suddenly shouted happily.

The three cavalry shot out rapidly from the woods in the distance and rushed towards the Han army's cavalry team.

"Sir, Murong Ji's troops are almost at Changqing Lake, about ten miles away from us."

Li Hong let out a long sigh, and his nervous mood disappeared without a trace.

"Can they find their scouts?"

"Two batches came, and we were killed."

Zhao Wen, Yu Shi and Hu Zi came on horseback.

"Sir, where is the battlefield?" Hu Zi shouted from afar.

"You are familiar with this place, tell me?" Li Hong said with a smile.

"The terrain of this place is complex, with small forests but many, which is suitable for ambushing people. However, there is no open area for more than ten miles ahead, so it is difficult for cavalry to spread out." Hu Zi said loudly, "When we were horse thieves, we robbed merchants here many times, which is a good place to ambush."

Tian Chong immediately shouted behind him: "It turns out that you did the case in Changqinghu? You are so brave, and you dare to tell me?"

"I just did it a few times." Hu Zi immediately became anxious and widened his eyes and shouted, "And haven't killed anyone yet."

"Who can prove it?"

"Okay, okay. The beard has abandoned evil and done good, so we should go ahead and let it go." Li Hong hurried forward to smooth things over. Everyone around him laughed.

"What do you think?" Li Hong asked, looking at Zhao Wen, Yu Shi, and Zheng Xin.

"If the terrain is narrow and the cavalry loses its function, the ambush will likely turn into an encounter, and our losses will be great." Zhao Wen said.

"More than ten years ago, the Han army fought with the Wuwan people here." Tian Chong suddenly said, "At that time, because the Wuwan people's cavalry could not play a role, they suffered great losses. We can follow the practice of the Han army back then, abandon the horse and fight against the enemy in infantry."

"We will suffer greater losses when facing the enemy in the infantry battle." Yu Shi said.

Li Hong turned his head to look at his beard and asked with a smile: "However, is there a place that is suitable for our cavalry to charge, and can also restrain the enemy's cavalry to play a role?"
