It's a pity that after thirty rounds, Huiman was still shot off his horse by Ma Chao.
"you lose!"
Ma Chao rode on the horse, pointed his gun at Huiman who had fallen to the ground, and said.
"Come here, tie me up."
Immediately, two Qin soldiers dismounted and tied Hu Yiman up.
"go back."
Ma Chao returned with the captured Huyman, and soon the other cavalry of the Qin Army who were chasing the Huns also returned.
The returning cavalrymen of the Qin Army were all tied with bloody heads of the Huns around their waists. They were their military exploits and must not be lost.
Behind them, there are a large number of ownerless war horses, which were taken from the Huns.
The bodies of a small number of soldiers of the Qin army who died in battle were carried on horseback.
Ma Chao immediately ordered to enter Baimazhuang to rest and recuperate. At the same time, he counted the casualties and counted the number of enemies killed. He also treated the wounded and buried the bodies of the fallen soldiers.
"General, the casualties have been counted. Our army suffered 260 and three cavalry in this battle, of which [-] cavalry were killed and the rest were wounded."
In Baimazhuang, Ma Chao sat in a civilian courtyard, receiving military doctors to treat his wounds, and obeying the reports of his generals.
"How many Huns were killed?"
"Returning to the General, according to statistics, we killed a total of 130 Huns in this battle, and all of them have their heads to check.
At the same time, more than [-] Huns were captured, some of them were wounded. "
"Haha, good, good!"
After Ma Chao heard the result, a smile appeared on his stern face, and he said with a big laugh.
This battle was indeed well fought.
The Qin army only paid more than 2000 casualties, but wiped out more than [-] elite cavalry of the Huns, and the battle loss was ten to one. How could Ma Chao be unhappy.
More importantly, in the past two days, Ma Chao led the three battles at Baimazhuang and defeated the Huns three times, which made the morale of the Qin army at this time extremely high.
At the same time, it also dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Huns, and let the Huns know that the Qin people are not afraid of them and will not lose to them when they fight with round cavalry.
After the three battles at Baimazhuang, Ma Chao had accumulated more than [-] heads of the Huns at this time, enough to fill several carts.
But this time, the result of Ma Chao's battle was not only the heads of the more than [-] Huns, but the Hun Youxian King captured by them!
This is the battle, Ma Chao and their biggest achievement!
"General, what about those captured Hun captives?"
General Qin asked for instructions.
"Needless to say, we will go to other places to fight the Huns next. Taking all these captives is a burden, let's kill them all!"
Ma Chao looked indifferent and said casually.
Ma Chao's words directly sentenced the more than [-] captured Hun prisoners to death, adding another [-] heads to the Qin army's military exploits.
"promise."
The Qin general responded.
"By the way, deal with the bodies of our fallen soldiers, bury them here, mark the location, and wait until this battle is over.
Let's come back again to pay homage to these fallen soldiers. "
"In addition, our army must go out to fight at any time, and we cannot take wounded soldiers on the road.
After dawn tomorrow, arrange a hundred cavalry to protect our wounded soldiers, take the heads of those Huns, and return to Jiuyuan City first, and hand them over to the governor Jia. "
Ma Chao made another deployment.
Ma Chao couldn't lose the heads of these Huns. This was the result of his hard work and sacrifice by leading [-] soldiers of the Qin army.
With the heads of these Huns, many soldiers of the Qin army can receive a lot of military merits in exchange for fields and titles, which is a guarantee for improving morale.
Therefore, Ma Chao must arrange for someone to send the heads of these Huns back to Jiuyuan City.
"No, these humble positions will be arranged, please rest assured, general."

"What? You have a cavalry force of [-], have you attacked Xiping Pass?"
That night, Ma Chao interrogated Hu Yiman, the right sage king of the Huns, and learned this amazing news from him.
At the beginning, Huiman was still stubborn and didn't plan to say anything.
In the end, Ma Chao used some tricks, but he still confessed honestly.
"Haha, even if you know now, it's useless.
The [-] cavalry I dispatched must have rushed to Xiping Pass by this time.
At that time, they will join forces with the Xiongnu Da Shanyu outside the pass, and Xiping Pass will surely fall.
Besides, with the thousands of cavalry in your hands, how could it be possible to resist my 30 soldiers. "
Huiman got up, let out a smug laugh, opened his mouth full of blood, and said to Ma Chao.
"This king sees that your martial arts skills are really extraordinary, if you are willing to join this king's command, this king can make you a general of ten thousand people.
In this king's tribe, no one can order you except this king, how about it? "
Hu Yiman also took a fancy to Ma Chao's bravery at this time. Although he hated Ma Chao's torture to him just now, he still offered an olive branch to him.
Moreover, the price Huiman offered was really high.
"Hehe, you barbarians outside the customs, what qualifications do you have to make me, Ma Chao, loyal.
My Great Qin Emperor has a lot of trust in me, and now I am in command of the Great Wall Legion with a total of [-] troops.
You have a mere ten thousand generals, not even a fraction of the number of soldiers under my command, so you are ashamed to say it. "
Ma Chao glanced at Huiman and said with disdain.
Hu Yiman's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't expect Ma Chao to command the [-] Qin army.
"You Emperor Qin really value you!"
At this time, Hu Yiman was really embarrassed, and he tried to persuade Ma Chao to join him, because he couldn't pay the price.
Just kidding, in the tribe of Huyman, the right sage king of the Huns, there are only 8 or [-] people who control the strings.
Even if he handed over all of them to Commander Ma Chao, he would not be able to keep up with Ma Chao's Great Wall Legion in Daqin at this time.
Unless Huiman was a fool, he would never have handed over all the Huns in the tribe to Ma Chao, so there was nothing to say.
"Here's an order to assemble the whole army and return to Xiping Pass overnight."
After Ma Chao got this important news from Huiman, he couldn't sit still any longer, and ordered to gather the only [-] cavalry of the Qin Army under his command overnight to return to Xiping Pass.
"General, the soldiers fought three battles in two days, and they are really exhausted.
Now that the sky is dark and the wind is blowing, it is not suitable for traveling, so let the soldiers have a good rest for the night, and return to Xiping Pass at dawn tomorrow. "
There was a general of the Qin army next to him. After hearing Ma Chao's order, he dissuaded him aloud.
"No, by dawn, Xiping Pass may be lost. Gather your troops immediately and set off overnight."
Ma Chao flatly rejected the suggestion of his generals.
"No, I'm going to assemble the troops now."
Now that Ma Chao had made up his mind, the general of the Qin Army could only obey orders.
Half an hour later, the three thousand cavalry of the Qin Army were assembled.
Immediately, Ma Chao took Hu Yiman, the right sage king of the Huns, and [-] exhausted cavalry of the Qin army, and set off overnight, braving the biting cold wind, and rushed back to Xiping Pass.
After raiding in the middle of the night, they returned to Xiping Pass in the middle of the night on the 24th.
"Report, General, that the camp of the Huns cavalry has been discovered."
Ma Chao temporarily hid three thousand elite cavalry of the Qin Army behind a hill southwest of Xiping Pass, and sent sentry cavalry to investigate the situation.
Soon, a sentry cavalry of the Qin army came back and reported it like this.
"Ah? The Huns haven't conquered Xiping Pass yet? Xiping Pass is still in our hands?"
After hearing the report from the sentry under his command, Ma Chao was a little surprised and asked.
"Yes, General, Xiping Pass has not been lost and is still in our hands.
The Xiongnu cavalry who attacked Xiping Pass camped three miles south of Xiping Pass. "
"Okay, okay!
It seems that Shen Yu defended well at Xiping Pass. He should have discovered the incoming Hun cavalry in time and took precautions.
Otherwise, Xiping Pass has already fallen into the hands of the Huns at this time. "
Ma Chao said excitedly.
This result was also the one that satisfied Ma Chao the most after rushing back all night.
"Ma Yu, come here."
"General, what are your orders?"
Ma Chao called one of his most trusted subordinates.
"I have an important and very dangerous task for you now."
"General, please give me an order, I will do it to the death."
This young general of the Qin army was also a bloody man, so he answered without hesitation.
"You lead people to Xiping Pass tonight, and inform Shen Yu that he will lead the army to withdraw from Xiping Pass in the early morning.
The general will meet them here. "
Ma Chao knew very well that at this time, Xiping Pass was surrounded by the Xiongnu's 10,000+ army, and it was a pass that must be trapped.
If all the Qin troops inside were not withdrawn, perhaps when the Xiping Pass fell, the Xiping Pass would fall, and the more than [-] Qin soldiers inside would undoubtedly die.
The more than 1 soldiers of the Qin Army who survived the bloody battle are all elites of the Qin Army. If they are wiped out, the loss to the Qin Army will be too great.
For Ma Chao, Xiping Pass can be lost, but the ten thousand veterans of the Qin Army must be kept.
There is no need to worry about no firewood to keep the green hills, and Ma Chao has always kept in mind the policy of "lost land to save people" explained by Xu Feng.
Regarding the [-] Xiongnu army to the south of Xiping Pass, Ma Chao had nothing to do at this time.
He now has only [-] Qin cavalry under his command, and the enemy is ten times larger than himself, so he dare not launch a night attack.
Furthermore, the [-] Qin troops went through three battles in Baimazhuang, beheading [-] heads of the Huns, and they didn't even have time to rest.
He led the army back to Xiping Pass overnight. These cavalry of the Qin army were not hard-hit.
Now, Ma Chao's only hope is to take advantage of the fact that the [-] Hun cavalry on the south side of the Great Wall don't know the news of their coming.
Before dawn, he teamed up with more than [-] Qin troops in Xiping Pass, caught them off guard, and successfully broke out.
"Ma Yu, you must be careful, you must not be discovered by the Huns, and you must enter Xiping Pass.
Tell Shen Yu that when the sun rises, it is the moment to break through, remember? "
Ma Chao exhorted the young general whom he valued highly.
"Don't worry, general, I'll remember that."
"Go, be careful."
"promise."
"Let the soldiers get off their horses and run, don't fall asleep."
After watching Ma Yu leave with a few soldiers of the Qin Army, Ma Chao gave such a different order to the [-] veterans of the Qin Army under his command.
After Ma Chao's order was issued, the generals under his command were puzzled.
"General, there is still a short time before sunrise.
