More than 20,000 cavalrymen left Chencang City with a roar.
Ma Teng and other leaders all have dark faces.
I was so arrogant when I came, and now I am so angry when I leave.
More than 20,000 cavalrymen also felt aggrieved.
Ma Chao was very disappointed with his father, the candidates, and others.
On the city wall, Zhang Liao watched the opponent withdraw his troops, and then sent two teams of scouts to follow.
The scout's traces were quickly discovered by Ma Teng.
He asked Ma Chao to lead three thousand cavalry to break up the rear and prevent the Han army's scouts from approaching.
Ma Chao led three thousand cavalry to block the way, and the Han army scouts had to stop.
But a few scouts had quietly entered the forest and picked a path.
After walking on the mountain road for more than two hours, when they came out of the mountain forest, they happened to see 20,000 Liangzhou cavalry on the road.
Several scouts entered the mountains again, and they shuttled through the mountains and forests.
Every once in a while, they will emerge from the mountains and forests.
Although Ma Teng and the others are cavalry, they are fast.
But these scouts specialize in walking on mountain roads, and they always walk in straight lines. They walk in the mountains and forests as if they were walking on flat ground, and they can always bite this Liangzhou cavalry.
And even when they were traveling through the mountains and forests, they could not see the Liangzhou cavalry, but they could still hear the sound of the horses running, which was enough for them to judge the opponent's position and distance based on the sound.
Lin Shi rushed to the top of a mountain and looked at the Liangzhou cavalry in the distance, suddenly feeling something was wrong.
He is an excellent scout, and no abnormality can escape his eyes.
"According to the sound of horse hooves, they should be at least five miles away, but now they are less than three miles away." Lin Shi stood on the top of the mountain, and his eyes could accurately measure the distance to the other party.
The error will never exceed one mile.
He looked at the Liangzhou cavalry three miles away.
If we follow the march scale of 20,000 cavalry, there is nothing abnormal.
The distance was too far, and Lin Shi could only judge based on the length of the team.
"Flying dust is no problem."
Lin Shi judged again.
Lin Shi continued to follow without stopping at the top of the mountain. He wanted to close the distance.
The body was running rapidly in the mountain forest, rushing down from the top of the mountain, almost in a straight line, with a drop of more than ten feet, and the forest stones all jumped down directly.
Sometimes with the help of branches, I can jump two or three feet in one leap, just like a monkey in the forest.
Swift, agile, and fast.
The other scouts who entered the forest with him had no idea how far they were left behind by him.
Finally, the distance between Lin Shi and the Liangzhou cavalry was reduced to one mile.
He hid in the woods and watched the cavalry army passing in front of him.
"There are fewer people."
Lin Shi is finally sure.
All the cavalry flew past him, and no one noticed that there was a pair of eyes staring at them in the woods a hundred feet away from them.
After all the cavalry had passed, Lin Shi said: "There are only ten thousand people."
Lin Shi was certain that out of the original 20,000 Liangzhou cavalry, only 10,000 were passing by him at this moment.
He waited for a while, but no other 10,000 people passed by.
"Where did those people go?"
Lin Shi was no longer following him. He continued to hide in the mountains and forests and returned to Chencang.
Chencang!
Lin Shi, who had run all the way back, appeared in front of Zhang Liao with a hole in the hemp shoes on his feet.
There are also many scratches on the body.
In order not to lose the Liangzhou cavalry, Lin Shi only took the shortest route in the mountains and forests. No matter whether there were cliffs or thorns in front of him, he walked through them all the way.
Even if he is flexible, he will inevitably be stabbed by thorns, sharp branches and stones.
Zhang Liao looked at the scarred Lin Shi and said solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Shiyao grinned, showing his white teeth, and said with a smile: "It's not hard, this is what I should do."
For the scars on his body, Lin Shi didn't feel any pain at all due to Zhang Liao's "hard work".
His efforts have been recognized.
"General, do you want to send someone to investigate along the way?"
On the way back, the Liangzhou cavalry lost 10,000 people.
These ten thousand people are definitely ambushing nearby.
Zhang Liao said: "Don't move yet."
The horses came quickly, and they were all cavalry. At most, each of them carried a little dry food.
As long as he waits for a few days, he will not trust the Liangzhou cavalry and can still lie in wait.
When Ma Teng returned to Anding, he kept paying attention to Chen Cang.
But on the first day, Zhang Liao did not move.
For the first time in half a month, Zhang Liao did not step into the border of Liangzhou.
The ambush arranged by Ma Teng had been waiting for a whole day.
It's not comfortable in the woods.
There were so many mosquitoes that I couldn't sleep well, and I could only eat hard steamed buns.
They were worried about being discovered by the Han army, so they did not dare to light a fire.
The next day, Zhang Liao was still not there.
Some people can no longer bear it and want to withdraw directly to Liangzhou.
But without Ma Teng's order, they did not dare to leave, so they had to continue to lie in wait in the woods.
I prayed in my heart that the Han army would appear soon.
After just two nights in the woods, some of the 10,000 Liangzhou cavalrymen developed dizziness and fever.
The next day, Zhang Liao only sent out a few teams of scouts and did not explore the dense forest. He just stared at the roads along the way to see if Ma Teng had let the ambush troops withdraw.
On the third day, Ma Teng finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He realized that their plan must have been discovered by Zhang Liao, and the cavalry ambushing in Longshan had almost exhausted the dry food they carried.
There is no point in continuing to ambush.
The Liangzhou cavalry who were ambushing in Longshan quickly ran out of Longshan after receiving the order to retreat.
They ran towards Anding, not wanting to stop for a moment.
Just when they came out of Longshan, they were discovered by Zhang Liao's scouts.
This area is suitable for an ambush, and there are already Han scouts squatting outside.
Zhang Liao received the news and immediately led his cavalry to pursue him.
At this time, we must pursue and fight fiercely.
Ten thousand Liangzhou cavalry have stayed in Longshan for two days and three nights, how much fighting power can they still have?
Whether they are humans or horses, everyone looks listless.
After confirming the number of people coming out of Longshan, Zhang Liao did not hesitate at all.
Ten thousand cavalrymen recuperated for three days, but what he faced was just an exhausted army that wanted to return to Liangzhou.
"Frame..."
Ten thousand cavalry set out from Chencang.
Half an hour later, they caught up with the Liangzhou cavalry in front.
The Liangzhou cavalry had already noticed it when the Han cavalry was more than ten miles away.
However, they were short of men and horses. Even if they knew that the Han army was chasing them and whipped the horses under them with long whips, the speed of the horses could not be increased.
The war horses under them have not had good forage for three days. Now they can carry them and run, so they are considered good horses.
"Kill!"
Zhang Liao was the first to attack the Liangzhou cavalry.
This Liangzhou cavalry was originally going to ambush Zhang Liao, but no one dared to turn around and fight the Han army.
When they found out that the Han army was chasing them, their hearts were already in chaos.
I just want to escape back to Liangzhou as soon as possible.
