In Pingzhou City, Wu Shugu is listening to Best's advice.

The journey of one hundred miles only takes two hours for the cavalry. Shortly after the army of the Great Yu Kingdom left the city, they received news from the scouts.

"It is not the time to harass the army of Dayu. For an army, the longer its supply line, the more dangerous it is. So we have to wait for the army of Dayu to come to the city of Pingzhou, use the trenches and consume them here, and at the same time, we are waiting for an opportunity to use the cavalry to cut off their supply line and trap them in Pingzhou City."

Best placed a drawing he drew on the table and told Wu Shugu and Bei Shan.

Wu Shugu and Bei Shan looked at each other, and they really had no good idea now.

The cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom is very precious, and their cavalry is equally precious. No one can bear the blame for losing 120,000 cavalry.

Moreover, after several failed battles, they became more cautious and obviously had a greater advantage in fighting near Pingzhou City.

Wu Shugu said: "Although that is the case, we can also send a cavalry to test the reality of this army. If there are loopholes in the process of their army, we can take the opportunity to attack."

Best did not object to Wu Shugu's words, because it was a good idea to harass a small number of cavalrymen, which could delay their marching speed.

After deciding the strategy of fighting, Wu Shugu and Bei Shan left, and soon a team of ten thousand people led by Guduo set off from Pingzhou City and headed towards the army of the Dayu Kingdom.

At this time, the Dayu army set out from Shanhaiguan had marched for twenty miles.

Here, Lu Fei left three thousand people to defend him and used the chariot array as a barrier to establish a supply point. The twenty-mile road was very close to the cavalry.

In this way, once the barbarian cavalry surrounds this supply point, their cavalry can come to reinforce within an hour.

After building a supply point, Lu Fei led his troops to continue to advance. According to their march plan, they would arrive in Pingzhou City the next morning, so they did not walk very quickly along the way.

During the march, their first Hu Ben Division was in the front as the vanguard, the third Hu Ben Division led by Lei Ming was at the end, and Luo Xin's army was in the middle.

As before, the chariots and cavalry also marched on both sides of the army, forming a formation of chariots at any time to defend against the attacks of barbarian cavalry.

From the morning to the evening, after marching for eighty miles, Lu Fei ordered a camp to set up a camp, and the hunting cavalry along the way passed the message back and forth.

Halfway through the journey, a team of 10,000 barbarian cavalry appeared nearby. Lu Fei, who received the news, did not stop but continued to move forward.

If it were the former army of the Great Yu Kingdom, he would be very worried that the 10,000-man team would suddenly attack, but now he is not afraid at all.

Because they can form a hollow square formation within a short time when they launch a charge, this is the advantage brought by the military reform, and each unit can respond quickly when facing the enemy.

However, it seemed that he was angry by his arrogant attitude. When they walked less than a mile again, the barbarian cavalry suddenly launched a raid on the army of the Great Yu Kingdom, which was marching in a long snake shape.

The hunting cavalry first transmitted the dynamics of the barbarian cavalry to the marching infantry phalanx through flags.

At this time, the infantry phalanx that received the news began to change rapidly from the walking formation, and each company quickly found its position in the hollow phalanx.

The original long snake formation quickly turned into a hollow square array of walking. If you look at it from the sky, it looks like the word "mouth" with green borders is constantly walking.

When Guduo rushed in front of him and found that the army of the Great Yu Kingdom had completely changed shape, he immediately turned his horse's head.

If he continues to rush down, it means death. After all, he only has 10,000 people, and his main purpose is to harass him.

But now it seems that he can't even handle the harassment because the military defense of the Great Yu Kingdom is too tight.

With a hint of worry in his eyes, Guduo and his cavalry suddenly bypassed the army and headed towards Shanhaiguan.

"General, that's the stronghold we established." A cavalry commander said anxiously.

Lu Fei said: "Don't worry, ten thousand people can't break through the fortress formed by the chariot array and continue to move forward. The real war has not begun."

After being delayed by the barbarian cavalry, Lu Fei stationed twenty miles away from Pingzhou City.

The next day they continued to march and arrived at the city of Pingzhou in the morning. At this time, he finally saw the full picture of Pingzhou City now.

The army gathered one after another, and Lei Ming and Luo Xin also arrived in front of the formation. They observed Pingzhou City through a telescope.

At the same time, the soldiers began to set up camp here, because this war cannot be decided in a few days.

Pingzhou City.

Best was observing the Great Chongqing army outside the city. At this moment, he was holding a monocular lens in his hand, but his face became increasingly ugly.

"Damn it, when will the indigenous people of Asia have such excellent equipment?" Best cursed: "This is already comparable to the European army."

Bei Shan said after hearing this: "In just six years, the Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, named Xiao Ming, had such an army."

"Six years, it's simply incredible." Best put down his monocular.

Here, he saw flintlock rifles, field cannons, and even hot air balloons that were lifting off the air. This kind of picture can only be seen in Europe.

"Pray God to bless us." Best's throat was a little dry. If this war was a big battle in Europe, he could think of the cruelty of the war.

Beishan frowned. Although he didn't understand what God was in Best's mouth, he understood that this was definitely not a good word.

When the army of the Great Yu Kingdom set up camp, the artillery on the walls of Pingzhou also began to prepare, and the slave soldiers entered the trenches with weapons and were ready to start the war at any time.

On the other side, Lu Fei and the other two looked at the trench that was 200 meters long and were a little frownous. Field guns did not pose any threat to the soldiers in these trenches. Only mortar cannons can kill the enemies in the trench.

But with the principle of mortars, it would be fortunate that one of ten shells could fall into the trench.

"Fortunately, the recruits recruited were insufficient, otherwise it would be troublesome this time." Lu Fei looked at the recruits who were setting up camp.

The recruits were wearing plate armor and holding swords.

Because the military workshop could not produce 90,000 muskets in such a short time, in fact, 40,000 of the new recruits who rushed to the battlefield were still wearing eliminated plate armor.

When these strange recruits entered the city, they were still very strange, and now they finally understood the cleverness of the Military Affairs Department.

It turns out that these new recruits have their own uses to deal with the barbarian cold weapon troops.
