After a day and night of marching, the First Northern Luzon Division finally appeared on the open plain in the central part of Pinglu Mansion. Faced with the sudden appearance of the Northwest Army, the Taiping Army defending Pinglu Mansion seemed unprepared. Even Huashui Valley, which was as clear as a chasm, had fallen. There was no need to continue to defend Pinglu Mansion, which was not dangerous. This topic caused serious controversy among the Taiping Defenders in Pinglu Mansion. The serious differences made the Taiping Defenders in Pinglu Mansion appear more fragile. When the Third Cavalry Division of Tengger and the 30,000 Mot Light Cavalry also appeared in the vision of the Taiping Defenders in Pinglu Mansion, this first caused the psychological collapse of the Taiping Defenders in Pinglu Mansion.

But at the same time, the Kamans' sun, moon and star flags also appeared in the hilly areas in the north of Pinglu, and they crossed the northern hilly areas at a very fast speed and rushed towards the central city. At this time, Yulin fell, and the news that Kaman's army advanced southward to Qinghe also came into the ears of the Pinglu City's defenders. This once again sparked a debate among the Taiping Defenders, who were already undecided. Whether to surrender and which side should surrender to caused quite chaos in the Taiping Army. The Kamans and the Northwest people have strong backings, and no one dares to assert that which side will be the winner in this battle for the Beiyuan. The final result of the debate is to remain neutral for the time being, and whoever gains the upper hand will turn to.

After receiving the final comment from the Taiping Army, Shanzhu, Mao Jin and a leader Mot Thousand Cavalry in charge of leading the team decided to destroy the enemy of Kaman first and then force the Taiping defenders in Pinglu City. If the invading Kaman army cannot be quickly defeated, the more than 10,000 Taiping defenders in Pinglu City are likely to turn to the Kaman army. After all, the number and scale of the Kaman invasion army this time were far greater than the previous southern invasions. Many middle and senior officers in the Taiping Cult army were trained by the instructor Kaman, and they had a natural favor for Kaman side. However, now they were forced to take the lead because the Northwest Army took the lead. As long as the Northwest Army hesitated or had a bad reputation, it would immediately lead to the danger of Taiping Army, which had already surrendered again, from behind.

Hoffman personally led an army of 30,000 to participate in the operation of crossing the mountainous areas between Pinglu and Yulin. Since he was determined to do it, he would do it to the end. Hoffman did not want anyone to hand over the glorious mission of seizing Pinglu Mansion to anyone. He hoped that this great feat would be accomplished by himself. Only the three-day crossing not only exhausted his 30,000 elite soldiers, but also caused him to lose contact with the intelligence department during this period, becoming blind and deaf, and he could not understand the changes in the external situation at all.

Until he dragged his tired footsteps through the hilly areas in the northern part of Pinglu, Hoffman was still immersed in the shocking dreams that the miracle suddenly appeared on the central plains of Pinglu would bring to the Taiping Army. Even when he sent the scouts to the time he could get back, he led an army of 30,000 out of the hills and set foot on the vast plain areas in the central part of Pinglu.

When he learned that the Kaman army began to slow down or even stopped moving forward, Shanzhu and Mao Jin both believed that the decisive battle had arrived. At this time, the 30,000 Kaman army had discovered that the Northwest Army had also stepped on this land at the same time. Hoffman's aggressive advance made him pay a heavy price. The Kaman people had stepped into the endless plain area for nearly 60 miles, and at this time, the 30,000 Mot light cavalry had turned around and cut off the possibility that the Kaman army might retract back to the hilly area in the northern Pinglu. Once the Kaman army realized that it was wrong to escape into the hilly area, neither the heavy cavalry led by Mao Jin, the light cavalry of the Mot, nor the heavy infantry of Shanzhu could effectively annihilate them. On the contrary, they could use the rugged terrain of the hills to give full play to the advantages of the light armored infantry and firmly drag the Northwest Army. Unfortunately, the Kaman people, who lacked intelligence support, did not expect to have to go this far.

In addition to retaining two regiments as reserves for monitoring the Taiping Army in Pinglu Fucheng, Shanzhu and Mao Jin devoted all their troops to the battle to wipe out the 30,000 light armor infantry of Kaman. Mao Jin's Tengri Third Heavy Cavalry Division was put into actual combat for the first time as a fully established heavy cavalry division, while Shanzhu's two regiments heavy infantry were responsible for the finalizing work of pulling the net.

Hoffman never expected to come to this point. His pride had disappeared without a trace. The exhausted soldiers had to seize the time to dig trenches and build simple camps and deer villages. Faced with all this busyness and chaos, Hoffman's heart gradually sank.

He never expected that the Northwest Army would appear in the middle of Pinglu. Because of his aggressiveness, his troops left the hilly areas that were conducive to light infantry and came to this flat river that was most unfavorable to defense. There were no mobile cavalry and no heavy infantry with complete protection. Can these 30,000 light infantry resist the impact of the Northwest Army?

Hoffman did not dare to put the worries in his heart on the surface. He had to pretend to be smiling and look confident. While inspecting the construction of the camp, he greeted the officers and soldiers. Seeing the soldiers working hard, Hoffman felt a sense of pride in his heart. With the 30,000 warriors under his command, were they really afraid of the Northwest Army? In addition to being able to play some conspiracies, those Tanghe people really had to fight face to face, Hoffman believed that his army would never lose to his opponent.

Looking north, you can hide in the mountains in the north for only fifty miles, but Hoffman dared not retreat north even in these fifty miles. The scouts had discovered the nomadic light cavalry holding the Northwest Army's Golden Peng Banner and the Nomadic Wolf-headed Banner. It was obvious that Li Wufeng had already driven his servants into the inland plain of Pinglu. If he was not prepared to retreat northward, those wolf-like nomadic cavalry would roar and use the impact brought by their high-speed maneuvering advantages to defeat him. The only way now is to hold on and wait. The light cavalry can raid and break the raid, but when facing the construction of fortifications, even simple fortifications, you can ask these guys to taste the power of the Kaman army.

But what shocked Hoffman was that the nomadic cavalry did not assume the responsibility of the main attack, but replaced it with a group of brown clouds attacking from the flank. When the brown clouds passed by, even the ground was shaking slightly, and even Hoffman's handsome tent made a squeaking sound like the loud noise caused by the tide.

Hoffman, who had just returned to the tent to rest, immediately noticed something wrong. While ordering the entire army to enter the state of war, he ran quickly towards the front line. The enemy avoided the fortifications that were most fully built, and instead attacked from the flank. This was also one of the things that made Hoffman worried, but the bigger blow was not this. When he stepped onto the watchtower, he saw the heavy cavalry team lined up in a neatly arranged manner in the distance, the huge blow almost caused him to fall from the watchtower.

That is the iron armored heavy cavalry! The nemesis of the infantry! The simple fortifications he built in hastily will be destroyed by the opponent in less than two hours. Judging from the scale of the opponent's array, it will not be less than 20,000 people. According to the military system of the Tanghe people, it should be a complete heavy cavalry division! When did Li Wufeng transfer his heavy cavalry into Pinglu?!

Taking neat steps, it was like a giant dancing on the ground. Every time the horse's hooves fell to the ground, the earth would splash a layer of dark brown mud waves and accompanied by a loud bang. The flat-pushed cavalry improved wolf-tooth cone gun stretched out from the head of the horse wrapped in armor. The whole body and face were covered tightly, and only two eyes flashed with fanatical light. The endless fighting spirit completely merged more than 10,000 cavalry into a hammer-like whole. Anything that dared to stand in front of them would be smashed to pieces by this invincible hammer.

He suppressed the tension in his heart. Even after the raid of Derlock, Hoffman was not as worried as he is now. However, there was no room for maneuver at this moment. He could only let the flesh and blood Great Wall of Kaman composed of 30,000 warriors resist this steel beast armed to his teeth.

Shanzhu and Mao Jin stood behind the phalanx and stared coldly at the increasingly fast Iron Cavalry phalanx. A registrar of heavy cavalry reserves were waiting behind the two.

When they learned that the Kamans began to set up camps on the spot, the two knew that under the threat of Mot Light Cavalry, the other party had given up on the plan to flee back to the hilly areas in the north and wanted to rely on fortifications to defend and wait for assistance. Originally, they only needed to trap these 30,000 people. When their food was out of order, they could naturally wipe out the other party. However, given the uncertainty of the Taiping Army in Pinglu Mansion behind them, and the collision between the Kaman army and the City Guard Army that had already entered Qinghe Mansion south to the east was difficult.

It is speculated that Shanzhu and Mao Jin did not dare to drag it down. The more they dragged it down, the more perfect the fortifications built by the Kamans would be, and the subsequent situation would become more and more complex, and the resistance of the Kamans would be stronger. Only by using the iron armored heavy cavalry to force breakthrough before the Kamans had built complete fortifications was made. This was the best choice, so the two of them chose the plan of the heavy cavalry moving to the side and the heavy infantry of the two regiments to advance steadily from the front.
