It must be said that the Hu people retreated very quickly.
All the Hu cavalry dispersed, rapidly expanding the area like a fan, becoming more and more dispersed. In the end, several thousand Hu cavalry dispersed, forming small groups of cavalry, fleeing in different directions.
Such a result made Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and Zhang Ren quite helpless.
The three men led the Pojun camp to chase down the Hu cavalry. They were able to kill many Hu cavalry at the beginning, but because the Hu people became more and more scattered and difficult to chase, they had to let it go in the end. Because if they continued to chase, the Pojun camp would also
We must spread out to pursue them, and they may be ambushed by barbarians who are familiar with the terrain, so we have no choice but to withdraw our troops.
An hour later, the army cleared the battlefield and counted the number of people.
In this battle, more than 200 people were killed or injured in the destruction of the military camp.
However, the Hu cavalry suffered more casualties, with more than 1,500 casualties. Although this death-to-injury ratio was already remarkable for the Po Army Camp, it was a pity to lose even one soldier, and they all needed to be retrained.
The army set off and marched in the direction of Hanxing County.
Time passed slowly, the sun set in the west, night fell, and the army stopped and set up camp.
In the temporary tent, Wang Can and Guo Jiabin took their seats.
Because they were attacked by Hu cavalry during the day, but the Hu people withdrew their troops after realizing they were outmatched. Although this fighting method was consistent with the Hu people's usual style, Guo Jia felt that there was something wrong with it.
He sat upright and said with a serious look: "Lord, although we have speculated that the Hu people may have been invited by Ma Teng, we don't know what the Hu people's purpose is? Is it to stop us? Or to defeat us? Because we don't know the situation.
, I believe that we should strengthen our vigilance at night and assign some soldiers to keep vigil in the camp to prevent emergencies."
Wang Can nodded and said: "If the Hu people are really found by Ma Teng, I guess they will probably come again in the evening. However, as you said, we don't know whether the Hu people are preparing to attack the camp or harass the soldiers.
So you have to be prepared.”
Guo Jia cupped his fists and said, "My lord is wise!"
Wang Can shook his head, smiled, and ordered: "Fengxiao, it's up to you to arrange this matter. Make sure to ensure the safety of the camp."
"promise!"
Guo Jia answered with clasped fists, and then left the camp to find Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was a general in the army, so it was undoubtedly the most appropriate thing to discuss the defense of the camp with Zhao Yun.
Wang Can was sitting alone in the tent, thinking about the issue about the Hu people.
Now, Wang Can suddenly felt that he needed someone who lived in Xiliang all year round as a guide.
Wang Can leads the army according to the map and will definitely reach Hanxing County in the end. However, if he is attacked by the Hu people along the way, he cannot pursue them and cannot know where the Hu people have settled. This is very disadvantageous for Wang Can. Therefore.
, we must find someone who understands the local situation. This is what Wang Can needs now.
Wang Can made up his mind and immediately sent someone to find Zhou Cang and put him in charge of this matter.
Only then did Wang Can feel relieved.
After nightfall, except for the sound of crackling torches and the footsteps of soldiers patrolling in the camp, the surroundings of the camp were quiet and there was no movement at all.
Wang Can sat alone in the camp handling official duties. After feeling tired, he took a rest.
The oil lamp suddenly went out.
In the big tent, there was a faint sound of breathing.
I don’t know when, a horn sound suddenly came from outside the camp. This was a horn sound exclusively for the Hu cavalry. The horn sound was high-pitched and shrill, and kept coming. Wang Can was already alert, but when the horn came into the camp, he suddenly
He opened his eyes and hurriedly stood up from the bed. He quickly put on his armor, helmet, and weapons, and ran outside the tent.
Dian Wei was very fast. When Wang Can just walked out of the tent, he was already waiting at the entrance of the tent.
Wang Can nodded towards Dian Wei, and the two of them walked towards the center of the camp one after another.
At this time, because of the sound of horns in the distance, the soldiers who were resting in the tent woke up. All the soldiers put on their clothes and ran out with weapons in hand.
The soldier stood crookedly and kept reaching out to straighten his clothes.
Because of the continuous sound of horns, the camp was full of soldiers running around and quickly came to gather. In about a quarter of an hour, tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered, and the broken military camp under Zhao Yun had also gathered.
However, the sound of trumpets that continued one after another suddenly stopped after the soldiers gathered.
In the camp, there were only the whispers of the soldiers, and no horn sound came from outside the camp. In an instant, all the soldiers realized that something was wrong, and the low voices of discussions suddenly disappeared. Wang Can frowned, knowing that this was a barbarian.
It was a harassment plan that deliberately prevented the soldiers in the camp from resting.
Guo Jia came over and said in a deep voice: "My lord, I think this is a plan by the barbarians to disturb the enemy. I want to prevent the soldiers from having a good rest, so I deliberately harassed them."
Wang Can did not answer, but asked directly: "Fengxiao, have you arranged for the soldiers to guard the camp well?"
Guo Jia replied: "It has been arranged that a total of three thousand soldiers will be on guard. These three thousand soldiers will guard the entire night and will be replaced in turn to be responsible for the security of the camp. Not only that, there are many patrolling soldiers in the camp, plus
Rows of resisting horses are arranged outside the camp. Even if the Hu soldiers suddenly attack, they can withstand it for a while. This period of time is enough for the resting soldiers to assemble and not mess up their positions."
Wang Can said: "In this case, arrange for the soldiers to rest. As long as the Hu soldiers do not come to attack the camp, there is no need to assemble."
"promise!"
Guo Jia replied and immediately gave the order.
Wang Can turned around and returned to the camp, while Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Chen Dao and other generals also went back to rest. As a result, the camp was empty again, with only patrolling soldiers and defensive soldiers left.
It's late at night, and the night is getting darker and darker.
The patrolling soldiers changed batch after batch, and soldiers were constantly replaced.
"Da da!……"
Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard outside the camp.
The rumble of horse hooves came continuously from far to near. After the soldiers patrolling in the camp heard it, they all suddenly stopped and stopped to watch. The expressions on the soldiers' faces became solemn. The thousand soldiers responsible for the defense
He is also ready to fight out at any time to protect the safety of the camp.
However, none of the soldiers called out for an enemy attack.
This matter has been clearly stated before. As long as there are no enemy troops attacking the camp, there is no need to pay attention to it. Now there are only sounds, and the soldiers are waiting for the enemy troops to appear.
The sound of horse hooves was heard continuously, and the soldiers who were resting in the camp also woke up. Not only the soldiers, but also Wang Can, Dian Wei, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others also woke up.
Wang Can got up and lit the oil lamp in the tent, then leaned on the ground and listened to the movement on the ground with his ears. This trick was learned by Wang Can and Dian Wei. Although it was old-fashioned, he could hear the movement in the distance. He listened carefully.
While doing so, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, because after the sound of horse hooves continued to be heard, it suddenly weakened and retreated.
It can be seen from this that the barbarians are just trying to cause trouble.
Wang Can felt relieved and continued to sleep on the bed.
At this time, the soldiers with their eyes open in the camp began to close their eyes and sleep again because they had not received the order. Throughout the night, sounds woke up the soldiers in the camp several times, but all the soldiers did not move and continued to sleep. In this way
, which made the Hu people who implemented the plan of disturbing the enemy quite helpless.
They were indeed using a tactic to disturb the enemy, hoping to delay Wang Can's army on their way.
However, Wang Can refused to take this trick and let the soldiers continue to sleep. He also arranged countless horse resistance outside the camp to block the Hu soldiers' attack, leaving the Hu soldiers helpless.
Early the next morning, the army continued on its way.
Although the soldiers were often woken up while sleeping, they all rested in bed and had little impact.
No matter what, I still got enough sleep.
Wang Can's soldiers didn't have much influence, but the Hu soldiers stayed up all night. The Hu soldiers' eyes were red and there was an extra layer of grease on their faces. Last night they blew the horns, yelled, and screamed again.
Running back and forth on horseback was very tiring. However, the final results were not good, which made these Hu soldiers quite frustrated.
