In the early morning of the fifth day of October, three hundred vanguard cavalry, led by Yi Congdu Man Yu, left Aocang, followed the river, and headed straight for Junyi and Chenliu.

At noon that day, the main force of the cavalry went on the road in batches, lined up behind the vanguard, and surged out.

After nightfall, the soldiers of the Silver Spear Army and a few craftsmen all boarded the boat and sailed down the river.

This is Shao Xun's battle plan: to alert the enemy.

Since there is serious battlefield fog and you don't know where the enemy is, you can take the initiative to entangle and contact the enemy, and you will naturally get more useful information.

More than 6,000 cavalrymen and nearly 15,000 horses and mules, carrying five days of food and water, were a mighty force.

The advantage is that the enemy probably only knows that he has led his troops to return for reinforcements, but they don't know where he is and from which direction he will attack. They must take advantage of the precious window of time when the enemy scouts do not notice him and maneuver as much as possible.

Some distance away, close to the core battlefield—in fact, he didn’t know where the core battlefield was in Henan and Yanzhou.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, surging horses and crowds arrived at Junyi.

Just like Chen Wu, the beggar army facing a formidable enemy, was overjoyed.

Wang Ping's troops, who were about the same strength as them, were surrounded and shot by the Huns. They were beaten to pieces and suffered heavy casualties. How would they end up if they encountered a large group of Huns cavalry?

At this time, seeing Mr. Chen who had descended from the sky, Chen Wu didn't even ask how many people he had brought with him and worshiped him directly.

Seeing this person, everything was settled.

Never before had Chen Wu felt so at ease at this moment.

When Mr. Chen was in Henan, he didn't feel anything.

But once he was gone and there was a strong enemy outside, doubts, worries, hesitation and other emotions emerged uncontrollably. After all, they had been defeated many times before, being beaten by Shi Le and the Huns. They were in panic all day long. There really wasn't much.

The confidence to win.

Shao Xun did not stop here, but only replenished some food and water, exchanged a small number of horses and mules, and then recruited three hundred cavalry before continuing on the road.

On the seventh night of the seventh lunar month, a raging wave of cavalry arrived in Kaocheng.

Throughout the night, there was a lot of noise inside and outside Kaocheng.

After dawn, the big flag with the word "Shao" stood on the high hill.

The defenders at the top of the city were startled at first, and then burst into violent cheers.

The cheers became louder and louder, and soon the city gate opened, and a large group of sergeants came out, waving their spears and swords, and shouted louder and louder: "Chen Gong is victorious!"

Amidst the noise, a man in red robe jumped up to the high hill as fast as lightning.

The horse seemed to be excited and stood up.

The man didn't even look at it. He pulled the reins casually, and the horse snorted and dropped its front hooves obediently.

On top of the city, some shogunate officials cried with joy.

After receiving the news, Concubine Pei and Mrs. Liu hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and looked around.

He was wearing a red robe made by her and holding a long horse-drawn horse, looking very majestic.

The flag was flying high, and the soldiers gathered around him, with swords, guns, swords and halberds arrayed in a very strict manner.

At this moment, everyone understood.

What Henan needs is not romance, but men who can conquer the battlefield.

"Too white!"

"Too white!"

Another burst of sound came, and then spread throughout Kao City and outside.

Everyone was cheering, not only because the backbone was coming, but also because they were venting their previous fears and worries.

Taibai looked at the city head for a long time, then he turned his horse's head and galloped north.

Concubine Pei smiled and subconsciously touched her belly, as if saying to her child: "Your grandpa will conquer the world for you."

Mrs. Liu withdrew her gaze, her hatred seemed to have become a very distant thing.

At the same time, it is a bit sad. This troubled world not only makes people starve to death, die of illness, and die in war, but it also controls people's hearts, making people unable to help but let go of all the obsessions of the past.

This man once raped her, and she didn't want to submit to it - thief!

Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, the blush on her cheeks looming.

The few morning stars gradually disappeared, and the dawn quietly covered the wilderness.

On the surprisingly flat land, groups of cavalry were running at a constant speed.

There were people grazing horses on the roadside, or feeding them beans mixed with salt water.

Some people were sleeping on straw mats with their eyes closed.

Some people had just stopped and handed over their tired horses to one-fifth of the people left behind in their building, taking them to rest and regain their power. The rest of the people switched to horses that had been running empty and continued to move forward.

They crossed the fields.

At this dawning moment, the fields were extremely lonely, with not even a single person in sight.

They crossed the wooden bridge.

The surroundings were silent, with only the gurgling water under the bridge bringing a faint trace of vitality.

They passed by the fortress.

Thousands of households in the village seemed to be dead, with no sound and no lights.

A green and black city wall appeared in the northwest, standing abruptly in the open field. It looked taller than during the day, and even seemed to greet people.

Autumn dawn, desolate fields, silent countryside, blue city, dull horse hooves, heavy breathing...

All this constitutes a typical scene on the plains of eastern Henan during the war years.

"Crack!" The morning wind suddenly picked up, and the flags whistled.

The leading horse neighed, quickened his pace, and turned northeast along the post road.

The others followed silently.

Some people walked along the post road, some walked through the village, and some crossed the fields.

On the boundless land, the cavalry gradually filled up. Even though there were only two thousand cavalry, it still felt overwhelming.

In the east of Dingtao, the city of Jiyin County, a group of people with a mixture of foot and horse had just pulled out the camp and started marching.

It was not yet completely light, and the soldiers were holding torches.

Zhang Yue was riding on the horse, his face shining with red fire, his eyebrows motionless, like a sculpture.

The strong wind carried the flags, flying around him.

The soldiers followed Zhang Yue closely, looking relaxed.

The Pioneer Rangers have been to Jiyin a long time ago. The people in the city are panicked and there are no soldiers or generals. It seems that they can easily win with a charge.

After defeating this city, everyone can make more money, how wonderful!

Passwords were heard from time to time in the team.

The scouts lazily got out of the large group and ran outside.

The scouts sent out last night, a group of three, each with five horses, have not returned yet. They should be fine. Why send a second group - a group of three, with one person and five horses, carrying several eclipses.

Shui stayed out all night, which is the normal behavior of scouts. No news is good news. Only when the enemy is detected will he rush back to report.

Not long after the scouts dispersed, they suddenly rushed back with pale faces and went straight to where the general's flag was.

Zhang Yue's soldiers were about to step forward to scold him, but they saw smoke and dust suddenly rising in the open field behind the scout.

Their speed is very fast, their numbers are large, and they look very capable. Even if they have seen the enemy, they still take their time and adjust their speed. There is no doubt that they are veterans.

The enemy cavalry appeared so unexpectedly and the attack was launched so suddenly, which suddenly panicked thousands of Zhang Yue's troops who were marching.

The soldiers' horses were jumping and neighing behind him, as if they were eager to rush forward and fight.

Zhang Yue pondered for a moment. After all, he was a veteran of wars and knew that he must not hesitate at this time.

Making a decisive decision, he looked at his generals with stern eyes, and after some coercion and inducement, he rushed forward with only a few hundred cavalry, spear against spear, euphorbia against euphorbia, a head-on cavalry confrontation.

.

The ferocious waves of cavalry rushed past, and a large number of people on both sides screamed and fell off their horses.

The Jin cavalry that dispersed Zhang Yue's tribe did not stop at all and charged directly at the Han infantry.

The Han army was on the march, with insufficient equipment and no formation. Except for a few people from the rear team who hurriedly ran into the baggage train and escaped, most of them were rushed away. The noise resounded throughout the wilderness.

.

The Jin cavalry rushed out more than a hundred steps away, divided into two groups, turned back and continued to attack the infantry.

Under the iron hooves, the infantrymen rushed forward like wolves.

As the mane flew, blood rained down in profusion.

Not surprisingly, they were scattered again and lost any possibility of forming an formation.

Two hundred steps away from them, the cavalry from both sides had another head-on confrontation.

In the end, Zhang Yue couldn't stand this kind of life-for-life style of fighting, so he whistled, led his soldiers, and the cavalry distanced themselves.

Unfortunately, they were not good at riding and shooting, and they did not bring a few horn bows with them. After looking at the opposite side with hatred, they fled hurriedly to the east.

But the other side did not intend to let him go. The horn sounded slowly, and the cavalry scattered in the distance came closer, chasing Zhang Yue all the way.

Zhang Yue lost his last remaining fighting spirit and just ran away.

As they were running, another group of cavalry, about a hundred or ten people, came diagonally in front of them.

He subconsciously turned his horse's head and rushed north.

The trumpets sounded more and more loudly.

The sound of horse hooves became more and more rapid.

The shouts were getting closer and closer, as if they were ringing in my ears.

Zhang Yue turned around and saw that there were large groups of people surrounding him from the east, west and south. He had no choice but to rush forward.

The ground became softer and softer, more and more reeds passed by, and the speed gradually slowed down.

Suddenly, a small pool of water appeared in front, followed by a second one, a third one...

Zhang Yue's heart suddenly jumped off his horse, and after rolling on the ground, he stumbled into the muddy reeds.

The Jin cavalry who were chasing him also dismounted and chased after him, shouting loudly.

Zhang Yue abandoned his armor and spear and ran away desperately, even losing one of his military boots.

An arrow passed by his side, irritating the hair on his body to stand on end.

After two screams in succession, the last two soldiers who followed him fell to the ground unwillingly.

Zhang Yue could no longer hear any sounds and was highly focused. There was only one thought in his mind: escape, must escape!

There are more and more people hanging behind, and the arrows are getting denser.

There was a faint sound of horse hooves in his ears. It was the person who was bypassing the muddy wetland and returning to the front to wait for him.

Sure enough, the reeds over there had begun to sway. Under the sunlight, the cold light of the weapons was faintly visible.

Zhang Yue cursed a few words in grief and anger, changed direction, and rushed directly into Heze.

He can swim, and after entering the lake, he may have a chance to escape.

"Hiss!" The ice-cold lake water in late autumn made his legs twitch.

Zhang Yue gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, but after taking a few steps, his foot got stuck again and he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

There was a violent trampling sound of water splashing from behind.

Zhang Yue turned around and saw several people looking at him with cruel and surprised eyes.

In an instant, several weapons were placed on his neck.
