Five thousand cavalry will leave traces no matter how they hide, and it is difficult to clean up the horseshoe prints alone.

Ma Teng would not let the soldiers spend their energy cleaning up all the traces. Wouldn't it be a small loss for the wrong.

In less than two days, people from Wuyuan discovered the traces left by Ma Teng.

"General, there are traces left by the rebel cavalry here. It was left yesterday at the latest. They can't escape!"

Frontier Tanqi said confidently.

They can find barbarian cavalry on the prairie, not to mention rebel cavalry in the hinterland.

Having never fought against the golden cavalry in person, they still think that the barbarian cavalry is more powerful.

If it weren't for the continuous natural and man-made disasters in the past two years, it would not be so easy for Hao Daozong to transfer them back this time.

The biggest task of the frontier army is to guard the border and prevent foreigners from going south.

Although the rebels posed a great threat to the imperial court, they were still good to the common people. Even the aristocratic families did not kill them all.

It would be different if the aliens went south, they might not go south to the capital, but the entire northern counties of Shun Kingdom would become a barbarian ranch.

No matter whether it is aristocratic families or ordinary people, they cannot escape the plunder of the barbarians.

The current barbarians are not much stronger than the poor and crazy horse bandits on the grassland.

No! It should be said that it is even more vicious than the horse bandits.

The horse bandits eat their own food and the whole family is not hungry, but the barbarians still have tribes, old and weak.

They need money and food more than horse bandits, mainly food.

Not being able to spend money is also a kind of pain, a great pain.

The sphere of influence of the Divine Guard has already included the northern part of Qi and Shun, and seven or eight out of ten borders between the two countries and the grassland are in it, and smuggling in the grassland has been greatly restricted.

Smuggling to the grassland is not allowed in the area ruled by the Divine Guard, unless it is their own caravan.

This kind of behavior has aroused dissatisfaction among many people, and eating alone is hated by others!

But the guards don't care at all, you can go on if you have the ability, as long as you can escape the search of the guards, whatever you want!

However, the border guards who escaped the guards were only the first line of defense, and there was a second line of defense formed by the cavalry of the guards on the grassland.

Now the horse bandit pretended to be a horse bandit by the guard cavalry has become the most powerful horse bandit on the grassland, bar none.

Small barbarian tribes have to evacuate quickly when they find their traces, not daring to touch their edge.

The cavalry of the Divine Guard perfectly executed Yang Yuan's order, blocked the connection between the grassland and the southern countries, and weakened the strength of the barbarians...

If it weren't for the fact that most of the horse bandits on the prairie were evil and killed a lot, the cavalry of the guard army might have dominated the prairie horse bandits long ago.

Without the numerous caravans on the grassland, no matter how much gold and silver the barbarians had, they would not be able to spend them.

Instead, Yang Yuan became the savior of many barbarian tribes.

Without his caravans constantly bringing food to them, these barbarian tribes would have perished long ago.

Then why did Yang Yuan stop the trade in the grassland, wouldn't it be better to just sit back and watch those barbarian tribes die from lack of food?

It's not that simple,

The barbarians are human beings. Although they are a little stupid, they are about to starve to death. They must find a way to survive the desperate situation, even if they are crazy.

If the barbarians are really facing a desperate situation of extreme food shortage, it is certain to go south again.

Death in battle is better than starvation!

Therefore, the barbarians must have food to eat, and they must not eat too much, because it is easy to think about other things when they are full.

Yang Yuan is not afraid that the barbarians will gradually recover their strength, and no one can keep up with the strength of the Divine Guard.

When the barbarians regained their strength, the guards might have pushed Zhongzhou flat. By then, if the barbarians didn't trouble him, Yang Yuan wouldn't let them go.

In short, the current barbarians are at their weakest in the past century, which is why the cavalry of the Shun Kingdom frontier army can return to the hinterland so happily.

I don't know if this is Yang Yuan's own fault, he made the barbarians weak, and because of the weakness of the barbarians, the Shunguo frontier army can cause him trouble.

Really a drink and a peck has its own number.

But Yang Yuan didn't take these things to heart. Neither the barbarians nor the Shunguo frontier army could change the result, so it didn't matter!

Ma Teng received the report as soon as the frontier cavalry bit them.

The frontier cavalry had never seen an imperial warhorse, so they didn’t know that one day was enough time for the guard cavalry to cross half of Cheng’an County. The traces they found were left by Ma Teng yesterday, but today Ma Teng is hundreds of miles away from them. miles away.

"It's fine to catch up, but we have to wait for them, let them catch up slowly!"

Ma Teng has already found his target, a relatively remote granary.

This granary is relatively far away from the center of the battlefield, even if Ma Teng sneaks into it, it will not lead to a decisive battle.

But it is impossible for the Shun army to give up this granary, and they will definitely send reinforcements, and cavalry is the fastest support.

In addition, they were chasing Wuyuan, and all the cavalry of the Shun Army would be attracted.

Now the question that needs to be considered is how to let the guards who are about to ambush the cavalry of the Shun army come here quietly and prepare for the ambush.

To cross more than half of the battlefield, passing through four or five counties, and not let the Shun army find out, this difficulty is even higher than that of the cavalry hiding.

Unless the lord is willing to spend all his money...

"Looks like you can try it!"

Ma Teng stroked the slightly prickly stubble on his chin, and thought of a solution, which cost a little more.

Yang Yuan: Is that bigger?

That's great, isn't it!

Ma Teng's method was as simple and rude as his character, using the speed advantage of the imperial horses to bring in the ambush guards.

The horses of the cavalry alone are definitely not enough. It is difficult to wipe out more than 10,000 cavalry in a short period of time with only cavalry and 5,000 infantry.

Ma Teng was confident that he would be able to defeat the frontier cavalry, which was twice as strong as his own, in a few rounds, and it was not impossible to take a little risk to wipe out the opponent.

But Gong Yi didn't want to take any risks. Five thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry surrounded and annihilated ten thousand cavalry.

What's more, it takes the shortest time!

Hundreds of thousands of Shun troops stationed around, if the battle is delayed for two days, let alone wipe out the opponent, they will fall into a huge crisis.

At that time, the Shun army will begin the decisive battle with the annihilation of the guard cavalry.

Absolutely not!

When you change your willingness, you have to be willing, my lord, now it's up to you!

Facing the joint request of Ma Teng and Gong Yi, what can Yang Yuan do?

I can only agree!

Yang Yuan has one advantage. He will never delay the things that have been decided.

"Fortunately, I have the habit of saving, otherwise, how could you make it like this!"

Yang Yuan endured the pain in his heart and summoned 3,000 imperial war horses, two horses per horse, plus 5,000 cavalry horses, it should be enough.

"Should this be enough?"

Looking at the smiling Gong Yi, Yang Yuan asked "kindly".

Gong Yi's attention was all on the imperial warhorses. Although he was not the commander of the cavalry, he also liked the imperial warhorses.

If someone can reject a thousand-mile horse, what about three thousand horses?

"Enough is enough, definitely enough, my lord is wise!"

No one can say no!

People are not as good as horses!

With these war horses, Gong Yi became more and more confident in Ma Teng's ideas.

"Although Ma Teng is usually a little out of tune, sometimes to solve a problem, you have to think about things in a simpler way. The simpler the solution, the more effective it is!"

Gong Yi happily left with three thousand imperial war horses.

Gone like a whirlwind!
