The north wind was blowing and snowflakes fell. Li Li, who was riding a horse on the wilderness, looked at the familiar scenery around him and recalled the past when he followed the army north five years ago.

That year was the first year of Taiqing. The Eastern Wei general Hou Jing rebelled and surrendered to the Liang State. Then the Liang army marched northward and attacked Pengcheng, Xuzhou along the Sishui River.

Along the way, he robbed and killed people in his own territory, which opened his eyes to Li Li, who was on the war with the army.

When the army arrived near Hanshan, the lower reaches of Pengcheng, they built a weir and wanted to return to the water to irrigate the city.

The dam was built, and the army would not attack if there were cities or reinforcements if there were reinforcements.

The head coach and the soldiers were confused, at the end of the first year of Taiqing, they fought a huge defeat in Hanshanyan.

Five years later, another army went north along the Sishui River, but this time it was quite troublesome. We had to first overcome Dongchuzhou in the upper reaches of Sikou and then the upper reaches of Dongxuzhou in order to enter the boundary of Xuzhou.

Dongchuzhou of Qi State is Dongxuzhou in the first year of Taiqing of Liang State (governing Suyu); Dongxuzhou of Qi State is Wuzhou in the first year of Taiqing of Liang State (governing Xiapi).

Five years ago, the Northern Expedition Army left its own Wuzhou and entered the enemy territory - Xuzhou, which is not far from Pengcheng. Today, the Northern Expedition Army has passed the Huai River to the enemy territory. It must conquer two cities and several garrison forts in a row before entering the boundary of Xuzhou.

By then, the other party must be ready.

Thinking of this, Li Li slowed down his horse and looked around.

Looking at the bleakness around, the long queues walking on the shore, and the huge fleet sailing in the river, Li Li suddenly felt like "the wind was whistling and the water was cold".

However, Li Li is no longer the same as before. He is not a spectator. He is not only one of the "Generals of the Northern Expedition", but also a general of the "central army" who assisted the war.

The central army and the foreign army correspond to the army, that is, the army stationed in the capital, obeying the central commander's dispatch, is the imperial guards. Li Li is a left guerrilla general, and his troops are part of the central army.

Of course, there is a reason why the emperor sent the central army (Li Li) to assist in the war: First, Li Li was the drafter of this expedition strategy and must participate in the implementation. Then, it is legitimate to lead troops to the expedition as an imperial guard officer of the left guerrilla general.

2. The head coach is the prince, Xiao Dalin, the king of South China Sea. The father sent a "thug" to his son to facilitate business, which is natural.

Third, and the most important point, Li Li wanted to help Xiao Dalin "make military achievements" to check and balance the Jiangxia King Xiao, who has been in the limelight recently.

The third point is very important, and it is one of the reasons why Li Li's plan was recognized by the emperor this time.

This involves the power game between the emperor and the crown prince for hundreds of years: when the emperor is alive, the crown prince must be prevented from becoming a superior and seizing the throne in advance.

But the crown prince cannot be weakened too much, otherwise he will not be able to sit firmly after ascending the throne in the future.

Therefore, the usual practice is that the emperor must support a prince to "restrain" the crown prince.

As a result, Jiangxia King Xiao was lucky. He not only recovered Xiangzhou, but also Jiangling, Xiangyang and Mianbei. Although he was only a famous coach, his reputation was at its peak.

The crown prince was eclipsed.

Even though Daqian Xiao may not intend to "snatch the throne", he actually has the ability to threaten the crown prince in terms of reputation. Therefore, based on checks and balances, the emperor must let another prince make military achievements and make Daqian Xiao slightly better.

In this way, the prince restrains the crown prince and then the princes restrain each other, which is the ideal state of balance of power.

When the emperor had such a need, Li Li provided "service" to "sweep military merits" in a timely manner to satisfy the emperor's needs. This is why Li Li was confident that he had the confidence to implement the "Northern Expedition to recover lost territory" strategy.

Now, a group of generals led the prince Xiao Dalin to "sweep military achievements" and regarded the Qi army as a monster in the game to "sweep experience".

As for whether the Liang army treated the Qi army as a monster, or whether the Liang army was a monster by the Qi army as a monster, we will see the difference on the battlefield.

Li Li looked back at his team, and familiar faces came into his eyes.

As the general of the Imperial Guard, Li Li's command was actually mainly the battalions and troops he led, not the official Imperial Guard.

These battalions began with the Jiankang Battle, and the young and strong people who followed him to join the army. Now they have grown into veterans and have guaranteed combat effectiveness.

Those who went to the army to fight were Liang Sen, Wu Xiang, Peng Jun, Huang, and other fellow townsmen (miscellaneous generals). This was also the "large project this year" that Li Li promised to his partners.

Only by constantly fighting can partners grow up, and even if the price paid for it is blood and tears, it is worth it.

......

The cavalry of the two armies of Liang and Qi were fighting in a melee. Peng Jun, who was scouting the enemy situation, encountered more than ten enemy cavalry. Seeing that there were many people on his side, he led his subordinates to chase him.

The enemy cavalry fought and walked, and led Peng Jun and his party into the encirclement: nearly a hundred cavalry came from all sides and wanted to "stay" them.

Of course Peng Jun was not a fool, so he had a backhand: Huang, who followed from afar, saw the "big fish took the bait", and he also arrived with more than a hundred cavalry. The two sides fought together.

Cavalry battles and no formation can be described. At this time, confrontation, personal skills and some good luck determine life and death.

Peng Jun danced with a two-meter horse spear and stabbed several people one after another, but there was no trace of them left and right. Looking up, there were melee battles between the enemy and us everywhere.

What should I do at this time?

How to convene subordinates and fight in a group?

Li Li's division roughly explained his experience, but knowing and doing things are different. Now that he is fighting around, he can only find a way out.

Peng Jun rode his horse and kept shouting: "I am Peng Jun, Poyang, who will fight to the death!!"

However, he was speaking Poyang dialect, which the enemy could not understand, but shouting was indeed effective, allowing the part to distinguish his position.

After a while, not only were the closest part, but also the stupa.

Peng Jun was shot on his shoulder, but fortunately he was wearing heavy armor and was not seriously injured. He looked in the direction of the arrow, but saw a horseman bent his bow and arrow at him more than thirty steps away.

"Bastard, dare..." Peng Jun shouted and cursed, trying to rush over, but suddenly came to his senses: The reckless man was acting recklessly!

Several cavalry approached, and it was his team. Another arrow flew over. Peng Jun subconsciously blocked his chest with a spear. He heard a "du" sound, and the arrow shot into the spear pole.

"Follow me!" Peng Jun shouted, pulled out the arrow, and took his sect to the other side.

On the other side, the cavalry on his own were fighting with the enemy cavalry in an indissoluble manner. Peng Jun rushed straight with his spear and relied on his armor to avoid arrows, leading his subordinates to crash into the enemy group.

The enemy cavalry scattered with one blow, and Peng Jun gathered a lot of cavalry again, but there was still chaos in front of him. After thinking carefully, he decided not to greed for his own pleasure in killing.

Seeing a small group of enemy cavalry gathering, Peng Jun rushed over without hesitation.

War relies on the strength of the team. Fighting alone will not last long on the battlefield. Therefore, our side must concentrate its troops to attack, but we cannot let the other side concentrate its troops.

Just as they were about to gather their partners, they heard the sound of trumpets. Then, many enemy cavalry that were fighting together were scattered like frightened fish.

Not long after, the enemy cavalry fled in groups, spreading in groups of three or five in all directions, leaving the Liang cavalry left on the spot, not knowing whether to chase or confront each other.

Peng Jun saw Huang? The two of them looked at the scattered enemy cavalry and couldn't react at once.

How to fight now?

No one has taught me?

Huang? walked up to Peng Jun and said, "They must be trying to plot against us, and we can also plot against them. Why not, let's have a mandarin duck cutter..."

.........

"Stay steady, keep calm!"

Amid the shouts of cavalry, cavalry raided the small formations surrounded by vehicles, and the archers bent their bows and arrows, but did not pull the strings.

The enemy cavalry is still more than a hundred steps away from the formation of the chariot. It is too far to shoot arrows.

But so many cavalrymen surrounded them from all directions, and it looked like enemies were everywhere, which shocked Liang Bing's psychology. Although the north wind was howling, many people were so nervous that they sweated on their foreheads.

To the east, the enemy cavalry that was approaching the chariot array shouted in a row, and many archers had the urge to shoot arrows because it seemed that they were less than sixty steps away.

"Stay steady, keep calm!"

The team generals shouted, and the archers remembered the harsh military discipline punishment, and their fear of punishment suppressed their impulse to shoot archers immediately.

The enemy cavalry approached obliquely, and the distance was quickly and quickly, less than fifty steps.

"Stay! Stay!"

The archers bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the enemy cavalry, and the enemy cavalry also bent their bows and arrows, aiming at them.

As a result, the group of cavalry suddenly turned their horses at about fifty steps, turned to the right, and "passed by" the chariot formation.

They were responsible for luring Liang's army into shooting arrows, and the subsequent cavalry was the main attack.

However, these Liang soldiers were very calm. Seeing that the second group of invading cavalry failed, they quickly turned around and gathered a hundred steps away.

The chariot formation has no flaws and no advantage to take. This sudden enemy cavalry is staying at a distance or near.

"Look, that's their means."

In the formation, Wu Xiang explained the 'cavalry tactics' to the soldiers: "They were tempted to attack just now. Seeing that we were impeccable, of course they would not attack forcefully."

"But we will follow you not far or near, so our car array will not be untied, otherwise we will easily be defeated by one of their charges."

"But if the car array is not untied, how can we continue to move forward?"

Facing Wu Xiang's question, the soldiers were speechless, looking at the war horses in another chariot formation in the distance, and complaining: Use cavalry to drive them away, what else can you do if you don't let the cavalry attack?

Wu Xiang continued: "It's very simple. Either we use cavalry to disperse them, but we must not chase them far away, just drive them away..."

"Or...several small arrays cooperate with each other and move slowly."

After Wu Xiang said that, he narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Now, the enemy is waiting not far away. Everyone should be careful. The cooperation between the chariot array must be steady, and don't reveal flaws."

There was no need for cavalry, but they wanted to come to the chariot formation to cooperate with the advance. Everyone complained deeply, but they could only promise: "Yes, yes..."

"Okay, start."

The car array that had been practiced many times to cooperate with the advance, and now it is on the battlefield. Wu Xiang looked at the cavalry waiting for an opportunity in the distance and thought Li Li had a good idea.

The practical exercise is the best, but the price to pay is not low.

According to Li Li, the effect of "scrapping monsters" in the "map" with the "appropriate difficulty" should be good.

Although, he didn't understand what "monster swiping" is.

This time Li Li and the soldiers and troops they brought were all drawn out to "scrape monsters". Among them, there were newly recruits who had just joined the army, which could just see what the real war looked like.

This is in Wuzhou, and the main force of the Qi army has not arrived, so the cavalry and convoys who ran to the periphery for more than ten miles were encountered by them, all the enemy rangers.

The opponent's troops are not very strong. As long as your side handles it properly, you don't have to worry about being eaten by the opponent. It can also allow the soldiers to experience the tense atmosphere of the war. It is really good.

This is Li Li's "big project". While fighting, "leading the new with the old" made Liang Sen, Wu Xiang, Peng Jun, and Huang? recruit recruits recruited by these miscellaneous generals, under the leadership of veterans, get training in blood and fire.

As for whether Xuzhou Pengcheng is going to attack...

Wu Xiang looked north, not very much looking forward to it.

If you insist on attacking, you should be able to conquer it, but next, if the Qi army's large-scale counterattack is relying on Xuzhou to defend, you may not be able to defend it.

After all, Pengcheng is a place where military strategists must fight for. Once the ownership changes, Qi will definitely take it with all its might.

According to Li Li, if you use the map of "Xuzhou Pengcheng" and the "monster" that is produced is a "rare monster" and it is difficult to deal with. If you are not careful, your army will be wiped out.
