The howling north wind blew across the Gu River, frozen the river surface. In the broken barracks, a Han army, holding weapons, walked out of their own tents, staring coldly at the surging Xianbei cavalry on the opposite side. Although there were not many people, there was no fear at all.

This was a surrendered army. When Gongsun Zan ruled Youzhou, he was stationed here. Later, Gongsun Zan was defeated. They surrendered to Yuan Shao. The Yuan family was destroyed, so they surrendered to Chen Mo. Many people in the camp were over 100 years old. In this era, they were already considered old, but such a unit that kept surrendering was rooted like nails on the banks of the Gu River, blocking the Xianbei people's way south. It took nearly twenty years to block it!

The half-white general looked coldly at the surging Xianbei cavalry, full of frostbite, holding the spear tightly in his hands, and in his turbid eyes, there was no fear, but only a cold murderous intent.

"Let me go!" Seeing the enemy cavalry sweeping over the ice, the general raised the spear in his hand, and the next moment, hundreds of arrows fell towards the surging Xianbei people.

The knight who fell to the ground by the arrow did not cause panic among his companions. The cold iron hooves continued to advance while stepping on his companions' body. It seemed that he did not see the military camp in front of him. The surging iron cavalry ran around the military camp with the clusters of arrows shot from time to time by the other party, approaching from time to time and shooting arrows.

Without the scene of the gathering of arrow rain, there were less than two hundred soldiers in the camp, and the effect of arrow rain suppression could not be achieved.

The Xianbei people were not in a hurry to attack the camp. Even though the military camp was very dilapidated and seemed to collapse at any time, wolves usually only launched a fatal blow when the enemy was weakest. The living habits of grassland people made them have many similarities to wolves.

"Puff~"

The Xianbei people who jumped up and wanted to climb the walls of the camp were pierced by cold spears, but more Xianbei people rushed over like tides, and the broken military camp could be destroyed at any time like a candle in the wind.

More and more Xianbei people approached the walls of the camp, and the Han soldiers in the camp fought with them in the same fierce way. The bloody general's camp was dyed red again and then frozen.

"Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo~"

The sound of desolate trumpet sounded from afar. This was not the sound of the Xianbei people. The Xianbei scouts who were rushing to bring news that the Han reinforcements were about to arrive.

"There will be reinforcements here?" The Xianbei head man standing in the distance frowned and looked in the direction of the sound of the horn in the distance. He frowned and pointed the knife in his hand in the direction of the sound, "Kill them!"

A team of thousands of people howled and rushed towards the direction where the horn sound came. The earth retreated like a tide under the iron hooves, and the Han army in the distance gradually became clear.

It was a large number of Han troops. When they discovered the intentions of the Xianbei people, they quickly stopped and formed a formation to face the ignorant Xianbei cavalry.

"Resist the Horse Formation!" Bao Geng raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly.

The soldiers under his command quickly formed a horse-resisting formation, and looked coldly at the surging Xianbei cavalry, and quickly pulled the long bows. As the Xianbei cavalry approached, the spear in Bao Geng's hand slashed down fiercely.

"Buzz~"

Cold arrows rose into the air and gathered into dense rain of arrows in the air. After reaching the high point, they were very crowded towards the surging cavalry formation.

"Xilulu~"

In an instant, the man was overturned and the thunderous aura was instantly stopped. This army with a complete system was obviously not weak, and they had amazing combat power.

The Xianbei people began to disperse before they included the other side's range. They were not used to this kind of formal group combat. In good times, they could be unstoppable. However, if they encountered a strong enemy, the Xianbei people did not have the steely will of the Han army, nor did they have the determination and courage to fight tough battles. After the Thousand-Man Cavalry Formation was set, they quickly dispersed and retreated. This Han army was obviously not easy to mess with.

"Enter!" Bao Geng's eyes showed a faint disdain. If such an army had not occupied the powerful power of the cavalry, Bao Geng would be confident that he would defeat the opponent in a very short time.

The army continued to set sail and headed towards the camp.

The Xianbei leader looked at the defeated warriors, and his thick eyebrows gradually frowned. Didn’t the war just happened in Youzhou? Why did an army arrive so quickly? The change of power was so fast?

At this time, the situation was no longer enough to make them think too much. After discovering this Han people and scolding them, the Xianbei leader quickly recalled the soldiers who attacked the military camp. Although the military camp seemed to be crumbling and fewer soldiers guarding the camp, more powerful enemies had already appeared. What if they captured the military camp? Will they let them guard the camp like the Han people? They are not good at this.

The warriors on the grassland prefer attack!

"Defeat them!" The Xianbei leader pointed the knife in his hand at this Han army. If he could not defeat this Han army, even if they entered Youzhou, their backs would be blocked by this army.

"Roar ~"

This time, the Xianbei knights did not assemble to charge, but began to run around the enemy's army formation in a way that they fought on their own.

"Round formation!" Bao Geng quickly commanded the soldiers to change the formation. The rapid change of the formation of the Han army made the Xianbei leader shocked. But what followed was a rain of arrows falling on the Xianbei cavalry formation, wantonly depriving the Xianbei people of their lives. This Han army was more well-equipped, and the opponent's general obviously knew how to deal with the cavalry.

Although Bao Geng was not a border guard, he led cavalry wars and fought with Qiang cavalry in the northwest. Bao Geng is not unfamiliar with how to deal with cavalry. As for the changes between the military formations, this is a compulsory course for all the generals under Chen Mo. It is hard to say anything else, but the rapid transformation between the military formations does not cause the army to be confused. Following Chen Mojiu can be said to be perfect in this regard.

The advantages of the Han army's equipment were fully utilized at this moment. Even if the Xianbei people could not bear such confrontation, they rushed up desperately, and the cold shields in front and the spears stabbed from behind were enough to discourage them. In the end, they were killed by the crossbow arrows shot from the back formation.

The confrontation and stalemate between the two sides lasted for most of the day. The Han army obviously had no intention of retreating. Instead, they were constantly looking for fighter opportunities, devouring the vitality of the Xianbei people bit by bit.

The two sides had been in a stalemate for most of the day. In the end, the Xianbei people could not shake the army and could only retreat in disgrace.

"Is this the Xianbei people?" Bao Geng shook his head. Apart from the power of the movement, he was almost useless. He was far worse than the Cao army he had fought against before, and even much worse than the Jizhou army.

Unfortunately, they are all cavalrymen and cannot catch up, otherwise they will be wiped out by the entire Xianbei army.

Bao Geng brought his men and horses to the banks of the Gu River, and looked at the military camp that was almost buried by corpses and blood, and brought his men and horses to the outside of the camp.

"I am the new General Huwuwan Jung-Secretary General, open the door!" Bao Geng looked at the soldiers who were cleaning up at the gate and said aloud.

After a while, the gate opened. Several generals in the camp held their heads and chests, walked out of the gate with great strides, came to Bao Geng, and intervened: "The last general, Guhe Commander, please see the general!"

"No need to be polite!" Bao Geng dismounted and looked at the military camp. He obviously could not accommodate his five thousand soldiers. He immediately ordered people to find a place to camp again, and he followed the general into the military camp.

The military camp was small but very neat, but what really shocked Bao Geng was that most of the soldiers in the camp had already grown up.

"This..." Bao Geng looked at the guard: "There are no young soldiers in the camp?"

"We were the surrendered army. At first, General Gongsun was defeated, so we surrendered to Gong Yuan. Perhaps Yuan Gong felt that we had no military backbone, and Gangping also added garrisons. Except for this season, the Hu people could not come to Guhe at other times, so we were the only one guarding here." The guard general accompanied Bao Geng to patrol the camp while saying.

"Even so, these people shouldn't be the only ones, right?" Bao Geng said in confusion.

"When General Gongsun was defeated, there were still two thousand garrisons here." There was not much emotional fluctuation in the voice of the guard, as if he was talking about an insignificant little thing, but when he stopped in Bao Geng and others, he was silent.

There are two thousand defenders, and now there are probably not even two hundred people in this small camp, right?

Somehow, Bao Geng looked at the half-white hair that was coming to grab the camp, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something.

"Since you have established a peaceful life, why don't you go back to your hometown?" A military marquis behind Bao Geng said curiously.

"What can I do when I go back?" The guard general shook his head: "I have been killed for half my life. People in my hometown may think that we are dead, so it is better to stay here and defend our country. If I go back, I will forget how to farm. Every winter, we will stay here with the will of death. But I am unfortunate enough to live until now. Since I am alive, I have to continue to do what I promised the general at the beginning."

Who is the general? He didn't say it, and Bao Geng didn't ask, it didn't matter who it was.

"This place is also an important place. In winter, the Gu River is frozen or exhausted. The Hu people can easily cross the river and step into the boundary of our Han Dynasty. I have asked the court to station a school here, and the general can lead his troops back to Yuyang to rest." Bao Geng did lead his troops to come after discovering the loopholes here. He was about to encounter the Xianbei camp. Before that, he didn't even know that there was a military camp here that had lasted for more than 20 years. These soldiers who had been guarding here during the Gongsun Zan era seemed to have been forgotten. The new Yuyang prefect did not even know that there was a veteran who had been fighting for twenty years.

"Thank you for your kindness, but..." The guard turned his head, looked at Bao Geng, and intervened and said, "Please allow us to continue to station here. We are homeless, and this is our destination."

Bao Geng wanted to say something, but looking at the other party's firm gaze, he finally sighed helplessly: "If you need it, please inform me that all the supplies will be delivered in time."

"Thank you, General!"
