Cavalry raids are a very difficult thing. They are not only a huge test of the soldiers' physical strength and willpower, but also a test of war horses. Although the Han cavalry is powerful, it has not yet developed to the level of one man and two cavalry. In this way, the 50,000 troops run every day until they are trapped and horses are exhausted before they can rest for a short time.

After several days of marching, the front and rear armies of Huo Qubing's 50,000 cavalry corps were already thirty miles apart. Huo Guang and Fu Luzhi were marching at the end. Huo Guang didn't know whether this was Huo Qubing's intentional arrangement for tactical considerations or because of his own existence. Maybe there was no incident in history where the 3,000 cavalry of Fu Luzhi were behind.

Huo Guang also estimated the distance along the way, because he only vaguely remembered that Huo Qubing met Zuo Xian Wang's army after leaving the frontier for two thousand miles. He knew nothing about what time and where he was. Moreover, most of the grasslands during this period also had no place names, so Huo Guang could only use the distance to estimate the time when the war began.

Now it seems that it has been about 1,700 miles from the frontier, and its geographical location is close to the central and northern parts of Mongolia. From this time on, Huo Guang was extremely careful and had a full sense of energy. He knew that his body was too weak in such a battle, so he should not think about killing enemies or something. As long as he saves his life, Huo Qubing will naturally be able to gain military merits. With the contribution of his stirrups, he should be able to get an official position of 600 to 800 stones as soon as the Battle of Mobei ends.

Huo Guang's plan was perfect, but the plan could never keep up with the changes. Soon a messenger sent by Huo Qubing came to Huo Guang and Fu Luzhi.

"General, the Marquis discovered the traces of the Zuoxian King's army. The Marquis ordered the general to lead 3,000 troops from the headquarters to guard against the Huns' sneak attacks thirty miles away from the right rear of the army." The messenger brought Huo Qubing's military order, and actually discovered the Xiongnu's army.

"Is this my brother intentionally doing it again? It's all because of me?" Huo Guang found that the Han army and the Zuo Xianwang army of the Huns seemed to have met a little earlier than in history. The first thing he thought of was that Huo Qubing just didn't want to let himself take risks and deliberately arranged it like this.

Fu Luzhi also looked at Huo Guang intentionally or unintentionally, which made Huo Guang feel that the so-called warning was just arranged by Huo Qubing to protect himself. However, despite his doubts, Fu Luzhi still led three thousand cavalry to the right. The Han army that had originally marched all the way finally felt a war, as if a tragic war could break out at any time.

Perhaps because of the atmosphere, Huo Guang also felt an ominous feeling in his heart, as if there were really a group of Huns like wolves and tigers in front of him and waited for him and the three thousand soldiers to fall into the trap.

The atmosphere of the war covered the entire northern grassland. Huo Qubing and Fu Lu Branch had already moved to the right rear of the main army with three thousand cavalry. Although they were thirty miles apart, they seemed to be rolling thunder from the horizon. When they heard carefully, they were the sound of horses galloping hooves, and then there was the sound of gold and iron shouting and killing and colliding with weapons.

The three thousand soldiers beside Huo Qubing couldn't help but turn their eyes to the direction of the main army, and opened their eyes wide as if they could see the battlefield covered by the horizon with their efforts.

"It's called..." Everyone said these words at the same time. There is no doubt that the rolling thunder was the war between Huo Qubing's army and Zuo Xianwang's army.

Thirty miles away, I couldn't see what happened on the battlefield, but even the faint sound made people feel that the battle was fierce, and many soldiers were eager to try, and even the war horses were turbulently lifting their horses' hooves.

Huo Guang held the hilt tightly in his palm. The first battle of the Mobei Battle occurred thirty miles away. When the war really began, on the battlefield deep in the depths, Huo Guang was not moved by fear, but excitement, as if the blood all over his body began to boil.

"Is this the momentum of the battlefield? Unfortunately, my body is just a child after all, and I have not received martial arts training. No, I cannot have a fever at this time, and I must always be cautious and sober." Huo Guang was full of passion and urge to vent, but he immediately felt that something seemed wrong.

"Old Seven and Elder Eight, you two should pay more attention to the situation around you. Now we only have 3,000 troops. If the Huns attack our army, they will be caught off guard!" Huo Guang felt a little uneasy, but he was just a person who had no specific position and no title, so he could not order the Lu Zhi to restore the Lu Zhi. At this moment, the seven and eight seemed calm and were not infected by the battlefield aura, so Huo Guang ordered the two to pay attention to the warning.

Because of the military order, the three thousand cavalrymen of the Fulu Branch could not join the battlefield without orders. The three thousand people were alone on the grassland and looked at the horizon ahead.

Gradually, even Huo Guang felt a little regretful. Such a fierce battle, a cavalry battle of more than 100,000, he could not participate in it personally, and he could not even see it. It was a pity to say that such a large number of people could not end soon. Even if the battle went on very quickly, it would probably take six or seven hours to end.

"Are you waiting for six or seven hours with these three thousand cavalry?" Huo Guang felt helpless, as if this was the only ending. As for the battle between Huo Qubing and Zuo Xianwang's army, Huo Guang was not worried that Huo Qubing would lose.

"Hey, what's going on? Why can there be a sound of horse hoofs?" As if responding to Huo Guang's thoughts, he vaguely heard the sound of horse hoofs on his right.

"Old Seven, Lao Ba, listen. Is there a sound of horse hooves in that direction?" Huo Guang quickly pointed to the hoof and asked Lao Ba. Hearing this, the two of them looked seriously at Huo Guang's fingers, and then looked like they were listening with their ears on their faces.

"It's cavalry, but it's too far apart. It's impossible to tell how many people there are because of the sounds on the battlefield." Lao Qi, who has always been taciturn, replied with certainty.

"No, General Fu Lu Branch, the cavalry appearing on the right is probably the Huns cavalry." Huo Guang shouted loudly to Fu Lu Branch. With Huo Guang's shout, Fu Lu Branch couldn't help but look to the right. Soon he also heard the sound of horse hooves, and the sound of horse hooves gradually became clear at this time.

"Tell me the order, the whole army will welcome the enemy!" Fu Luzhi pulled out his long sword in panic and shouted loudly to the personal soldiers beside him.

With the order from Fu Lu Branch issued, three thousand cavalry turned their horses all around, and the cavalry in front rows all tied their bows and arrows, and the cavalry behind also drew out big swords, and a solemn aura instantly spread.

Huo Guang felt the atmosphere and thought to himself: "Sure enough, the closer this war is to him, the more obvious it feels."

"Why do you always feel strange? The preparations before the battle seem to be different from what you imagined. By the way, what about the scouts? Why didn't you see a scout?" Huo Guang also pulled out his sword casually, but suddenly thought in his heart that the Hun cavalry suddenly appeared, at least seven or eight miles away from the Han army. He had never seen Huo Qubing or Fulu branch sending scouts. Could it be that there were no scouts at this time? But Huo Guang clearly had the impression that the scouts appeared in the Han Dynasty. And Huo Guang still remembered that during this period, he could occasionally see teams of scattered cavalry moving around the periphery of the army. Are these not scouts yet?

"General, please wait." Huo Guang looked around the terrain and did not continue to think about the scout for the time being, but called Fu Luzhi.

"Even though Huo is in a position, as long as I, Fu Luzhi, still stand, I will not let you, a Hun, get close to you!" Fu Luzhi said impatiently. In his opinion, Huo Guang called him at this time, must be afraid. However, thinking of Huo Qubing's instructions before leaving, Fu Luzhi looked down on Huo Guang a little, but he still protected him with his life.

Huo Guang could only laugh when he said this suddenly. At this moment, he could also be sure that Huo Qubing's arrangement was really for the purpose of protecting himself. But Huo Qubing missed one thing, that is, the Huns never used strategy in the past, and only knew to fight blindly. But since Zhao Xin returned to the Huns, some simple tactics also appeared among the Huns. For example, the current group of strange soldiers suddenly penetrated into the battlefield. If both sides were anxious, then a surprise soldier suddenly entered on either side, which could indeed turn the situation around.

"The general misunderstood. This sudden Hun army must be aimed at the main force of our army. If this Hun army joins the battle at this time, it will be very bad for our army. But since they dare to enter the battlefield, they have enough troops to turn the battle around, and the number of people must exceed our three thousand. Whether they can stop and how long it can be blocked is the key to this battle!" Huo Guang shouted hurriedly, but the analysis was very clear. It depends on how many people it is to cut into the surprises. A battle of 100,000 people, even if you have surprises, one or two thousand people will not be used. Too few people can be thrown into the battlefield, it will not change anything at all.

According to Huo Guang's analysis, the number of Xiongnu cavalry that suddenly appeared should be around 7,000 to 8,000. That is to say, it is two to three times the number of his own troops.

"Since our number is so small, the focus is on how to delay time as much as possible. As long as our main force wins, this Hun cavalry will become the grasshopper in the autumn. Our army now has the only advantage of geographical advantages. The general should see where the terrain is slightly higher than other places. Our army should quickly occupy the high ground. This can not only reduce the enemy's cavalry's impact speed, but also give full play to the advantage of bows and arrows from a high point. Even if the cavalry charges, it will have the advantage." At this time, Huo Guang said nothing about anything else, and he could only reach Daoming as soon as possible. Although most of the terrain is flat and wide, there are still some slow breakthroughs, and there is just a place not far away.

"It makes sense. The whole army will follow me to occupy the high ground in front." Huo Guang's explanation was simple and clear. Fu Luzhi understood as soon as he heard it. Although he felt a little ashamed, he didn't care about what to say now and immediately took three thousand cavalrymen to occupy the high ground.

Huo Guang also ran towards the high ground with the three thousand cavalry. It is estimated that this term "occupying the high ground" is the first time that this term has appeared in ancient army? But can these three thousand cavalry stop the Hun army several times his? Although Huo Guang was still calm, he couldn't help but worry about the fate of himself and these three thousand cavalry!
