Chapter 118: Warriors and Dangerous Techniques 4

"Meng Tian can issue a military order!" Meng Tian was reluctant to slap his chest to express his determination.

What Meng Tian said is right, Xu Xi was indeed considering how to capture Xiba Pass. The premise is that if it was the Xiba Pass that the Xiba Pass had indeed released the Xiba Pass into the pass. Whether to capture Xiba Pass is actually quite important, and it is related to whether the Xiba Pass can cut off the retreat route. However, when other troops cannot be mobilized to encircle and annihilate, Xu Xi was quite hesitant about the retreat route.

After a section of retreat, the Huns will burn their boats and will inevitably explode with greater combat effectiveness and bloodiness. The battle and losses will only be even more painful. But if the retreat is not blocked, it will lose the opportunity to attack the Huns.

The key is that it is still impossible to mobilize other commanders! Xu Xi sighed.

I will naturally not mention the march all the way, and it is almost dawn...

A rider ran quietly in the distance, his horse's hooves were wrapped, and the sound of running seemed very light, but it gave Xu Xi a very urgent feeling: "Report to the Lord, the scout of Liuyun Cavalry found a trace of marching!"

Xu Xi was so arrogant that he exchanged a look with Zhu Shu and ordered the deputy general to temporarily stop the entire army and prepare for the battle!

After giving the order, Xu Xi and Zhu Shu galloped forward, leading them to about ten kilometers in the inclined angle in front of the team. Several groups of scouts were focusing on reconnaissance nearby. Xu Xi came here. The scout pointed to the ground and said, "Sir, look at the ground with very shallow horse hoof footprints."

Xu Xi and Zhushu squatted down and observed carefully under the torch. The scout simply removed the snow on the surface very lightly. Xu Xi and Zhushu immediately saw dense horse hoof prints, which looked extremely messy.

"Sir, based on our experience, there are at least 5,000 to 8,000 cavalrymen, about..." The scout calculated, compared the thickness of the snow, and then came to the conclusion: "It passed by here about an hour and a half ago."

If the Huns were not conquered before, you could also use the horse hoof print to determine whether the Huns' horses were made. However, there is obviously no difference between the war horses in Zhenbei District and the Huns' horses.

Judging from the marks of horse hooves on the ground, the other party's queue is not very neat. Most of the regular cavalry of the Forbidden Dynasty will try to maintain a neat queue even during the march. Therefore, based on this, the possibility of the Hun cavalry is the greatest.

"Please note and see if there is sand in the horse's hoof marks and what kind of sand is it!" Xu Xi was so nervous. There was a Gobi desert outside the Xiba Pass. If it were Hun cavalry, the horseshoe would definitely contain trace amounts of sand and gravel. If it was a march all the way, there would definitely be omissions in the snow.

"Sir, there is indeed sand!" The scout followed the horseshoe prints along the way and soon found a few tiny gravels in it.

It seems that they were indeed the Hun cavalry! Xu Xi and Zhu Shu smiled helplessly, but they didn't expect that they would be one step late, a key step.

The scout followed the horse hoofs and went, and soon the news came that the horse hoofs came from the path near Xibaguan. The place where they went was exactly the direction of Zhenbeicheng. Moreover, the horse hoofs were printed about thirty kilometers away and were divided into four groups, heading towards Zhenbei.

There is a way to split the troops and attack together! Xu Xi suddenly admires the game planner, or should be the task planner, and mixes all kinds of coincidences into a mission. It just so happened that snow was falling in the sky, and the Huns cavalry rushed on the road at snowy night. Two hours of snow were enough to cover up all the traces of the march. If Xu Xi hadn't arrived in time, he might have been successfully attacked.

If Xu Xi hadn't been careful enough and had a flexible mind, he might have been misled by the clues deliberately revealed in the mission. If he really thought it was Hou Junji and rushed there, he would probably not have been able to catch up with it if he had delayed another two hours.

"What should I do now?" Xu Xi thought hard.

"I think..." Zhu Shu stood up and stretched his body, and his delicate body was suddenly extremely attractive: "I think the most urgent thing is to grab the Xiba Pass. Then, track a group of Xinu cavalry along the way and gather and annihilate it."

Zhushu has a decisive and decisive temperament of killing! Xu Xi looked at her in surprise and nodded resolutely: "Then divide the troops!"

After thinking about it, he called Meng Tian and explained in a deep voice: "Meng Tian, ​​I will give you a chance to prove yourself, follow the army and take down Xiba Pass. Before I lead the army to come, be sure to hold on to you!"

Meng Tian's face turned red with excitement: "Yes, sir, I swear to win the pass to death!"

Meng Tian was temporarily promoted to be the deputy of a Thousand Cavalry Army, and they were asked to rush to take down Xiba Pass at any cost. Xu Xi sent an order to make the entire army turn around and chase the group of Hun cavalry.

"The whole army is advancing at full speed!" Xu Xi ordered!

The scouts along the way kept returning the news and approaching one of the Hun cavalry. At about ten kilometers, and when the opponent's scout was at the maximum reconnaissance range at the tail, Xu Xi ordered the entire army to dismount and rest for a quarter of an hour.

"After a quarter of an hour, everyone will show me the best spirit and prepare to fight!"
