The weather is getting colder and the wind is biting.

More than 6,000 Fengyun Iron Cavalry were quietly lined up at the city, waiting for Li Hong's attack order. Hundreds of battle flags of different colors fluttered in the wind, and shaking sounds gathered together, forming a huge sound echoing in the open field.

The scouts shuttled and walked back and forth like a lantern, loudly reporting on the military situation around Liwu City.

Li Hong was very surprised. The Yellow Turban Army was actually retreating among the people. It was obviously intended to escape the pursuit and delay its pursuit speed.

"Stop the words, can there be any news in An Xi's direction?" Li Hong turned his head and asked.

"Since yesterday, all four gates were closed and no entry or exit were allowed." Zheng Xin replied, "We should keep chasing and chase until An Xi."

Li Hong looked up at the sky. He hoped that there would be a snowfall and he would have an excuse to stop attacking.

His military methods were taught by Murong Feng. Murong Feng was good at cavalry warfare. His summary of his life's military use was based on cavalry, focusing on rushing thousands of miles, hitting a single blow, eliminating the enemy's vitality, and not caring about the gains and losses of a city and a place. Li Hong once helped Murong Feng sort out his military experience and understood Murong Feng's military methods. Later, in Lu Longsai, he read Tian Jing's military experience, which benefited a lot. After more than a year of continuous tempering in actual combat, Li Hong already had his own set of methods for military use in wars.

He did not like this kind of fighting style of siege and grabbing the village. This was not what the cavalry did at all, it should be the infantry. But now there is no infantry in the army, so it should not be fought like this. He wanted to take dominance on the battlefield and did not want to passively attack the city like this. The lessons of the Xianbei people's failure in Lulongsai and Yuyang City were too profound. Cavalry should defeat the enemy by cavalry.

Li Hong wanted to stop and wait for the subsequent troops to arrive, and re-plan the method to defeat the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army has given up Boling and Liwu, and its connection with Youzhou has been opened. The purpose of sending troops has been achieved, why should we continue to attack Nulu? Guo Dian, the governor of Jizhou, has not launched an attack on Changshan now. His army has advanced rashly and lacks support. Once an accident occurs, he will ask for trouble. However, the opportunity to attack An Xi is so good, and he is a little reluctant to give up. If he captures An Xi or annihilates the group of enemies in front of him, he can directly threaten Nulu City, the county seat of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Li Hong raised his hand and slashed it hard.

The sound of the charge of the horn rose into the sky.

Chongyun Mountain is thirty miles away from Liwu. The mountain is gentle, the terrain is open, and there are trees.

Chu Feiyan stood on a small hill, raised her head and drank a sip of cold cold water.

When he and Zhang Niujiao returned to Nulu, the Yellow Turban Army was in a state of disintegration and were in a scattering trend. Zhang Niujiao lost his strength and his speaking weight was certainly not as good as before, but Chu Feiyan handed over the military power at the right time and handed over his 100,000 troops to Zhang Niujiao. The leaders of various divisions of the Yellow Turban Army were shocked and did not dare to mention the matter of re-establishing the great leader.

It is an indisputable fact that Zhang Niujiao's status in the Yellow Turban Army is unsubstituted. When the Yellow Turban Army is in trouble and in danger, Zhang Niujiao cannot raise any proposals to give way to the wise. Faced with the eyes full of expectations, trust and hope, he only needs to bravely shoulder the heavy burden, temporarily forget the shame of the failure of the Northern Expedition, and solve the current crisis facing the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Niujiao first killed several small leaders who shook the morale of the army. They were responsible for providing food and supplies to the front line. When the battle situation on the front line was urgent, they not only did not fulfill their responsibilities, but instead took the lead in transporting food on the Taihang Mountains, resulting in the Yellow Turban Army being defeated on the front line and suffered heavy losses.

The little coach Wang Dang was not very rude. He did not attack Wulu's army, but just surrounded him to prevent him from escaping to the mountain. Once he escaped into the mountain, it would be unlikely to arrest him and punish him. Zhang Niujiao did not kill Wulu, but just removed his military power, took over his troops, and drove him to Zhending City.

When Bai Luo saw Zhang Niujiao coming up to persuade him in person, he was ashamed and admitted his mistake to Zhang Niujiao, and immediately led his troops down the mountain and re-entered the battlefield.

After Zhang Niujiao quickly calmed down the internal disputes of the Yellow Turban Army in a short period of time, he immediately began to prepare for external combat. At this time, what he needed was a victory that could revive the morale of the Yellow Turban Army.

Chu Feiyan, who stayed in Zhongshan Kingdom, led his troops to start a counterattack early.

It takes time for Zhang Niujiao to deal with internal disputes in the Yellow Turban Army, rectify the assembled troops, and prepare for attack operations. However, Guo Dian and Feng Yi's troops were eyeing each other and could launch a second round of attacks on the Yellow Turban Army at any time. In this case, Chu Feiyan had to send troops to delay their time in attacking the Yellow Turban Army.

According to Chu Feiyan's idea, if the Yellow Turban Army captured Boling and Liwu, it would cut off the nearest transportation route between Jizhou and Youzhou, directly threatening the Anping Kingdom in central Jizhou. Anping Kingdom is in the rear of Julu County and is the supply area for the official army to supply. If the security of Anping Kingdom is not guaranteed, Guo Dian must be scruples and dare not launch an attack on the Yellow Turban Army easily.

Guo Dian originally wanted to launch a fierce offensive during the civil strife of the Yellow Turban Army. However, after Chu Feiyan suddenly captured Liwu and Boling, he was worried that the Yellow Turban Army would take the opportunity to attack Anping Kingdom and cut off his supplies. So he had to give up the attack temporarily and urge the leopard Li Hong from Youzhou to go south as soon as possible to join the war.

Chu Feiyan wanted to defeat the leopard Li Hong and his cavalry. He killed more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and owed a lot of blood debts. This revenge must be avenged. As long as Li Hong goes south, he will have a chance.

Now this opportunity is right in front of you, and you can reach it. He carefully planned a situation to lure the enemy into ambush, and so far, no loopholes have appeared.

The scouts of the Yellow Turban Army flew over.

"Ship Chu, the troops in Liwu City are still ten miles away from us, and the Leopard Army is following us."

Chu Feiyan smiled slightly and asked, "How far is Fan Li and Leopard Army?"

"About ten miles."

"Oh." Chu Feiyan was surprised and asked hurriedly: "How fast is the Leopard Army?"

"It's very slow when I go back to Chu Shuai, it's almost the same as walking."

"Why is this happening?" Chu Feiyan asked strangely, "Did Fan Li's troops run too fast?"

The scout hurriedly replied: "Mr. Fan and thousands of people in the city retreated at the same time. The people walked slowly, and the Leopard Army followed behind, as if they were very concerned and had not accelerated their pursuit."

Chu Feiyan's brows slowly frowned, and her face became increasingly ugly.

"Shishou Chu, what's wrong?" Sima Weizheng, who was standing behind him, asked in a low voice.

"How come this blind li is so confused? They are the soldiers who lure the enemy. They have to lure the enemy at all costs. Only by allowing the cavalry of the Leopard Army to constantly kill us along the way will the enemy lose their vigilance, their advancement will become faster and faster, and their formation will become more and more chaotic and thinner. In this way, it will be very easy to kill them, and there will be a chance to wipe them out. I gave him less instructions. He actually did this thing that slowed down the enemy's speed in order to preserve his strength." Chu Feiyan regretted and was extremely angry.

"Shishou Chu, we have 50,000 people. Even if they are in a neat formation, they can wipe out them all. Can they still run away?" Wei Zheng said disapprovingly.

Chu Feiyan shook her head repeatedly and loudly ordered the messenger behind her: "Order the front troops responsible for blocking the attack to move the blocking position three miles forward."

Then he looked at Wei Zheng and smiled bitterly, "I'm very unlucky recently."

"Ship Chu, although Fan Li did not do it well, the enemy still chased him. At most, after the siege, we only need more effort to annihilate them." Wei Zheng comforted, "Everything is still under the control of Shuai Chu."

Chu Feiyan sighed disappointedly and said in frustration: "Once the encirclement is encircled, the people will be in the encirclement. After the two armies fought, the innocent people were the first to be killed by us, and thousands of people were slaughtered by us."

"I want to kill this Fan Li." Chu Feiyan cursed fiercely.

Suddenly, his face felt a chill.

Chu Feiyan looked up at the sky.

"It's snowing." Wei Zheng said lightly.

Chu Feiyan slowly stretched out her palm and saw one or two small snowflakes falling on her hands, which then melted into two crystal clear water droplets.

"It's going to be dark." He said in a heavy mood.

Yushi has sent people to ask Li Hong for instructions many times and asked to lead his troops to launch an attack. Li Hong flatly refused.

"Sir, we can use the terrain of Chongyun Mountain to encircle the Yellow Turban Army in Chongyun Mountain." Zhang He hesitated for a long time, and then he mustered up the courage to urge him to suggest to Li Hong, "If we keep following this, the Yellow Turban Army will always be mixed with the people and will not give us a chance to attack."

Li Hong smiled and said in praise: "Jun Yi (Zhang He's name, Yi pronounced Yi), this strategy is good. Have you read a lot of books?"

Zhang He did not expect that Li Hong was still in the mood to chat with him at this time, and hurriedly said, "Not much. I have only finished reading the teacher's home."

Li Hong said loudly in surprise: "That's not much? So, your family must be well off."

"My family is in the city. Although I am not very poor, I am not rich. My parents hope that I have a future and have asked me to learn from my master since I was a child." Zhang He replied.

"Then you learned your martial arts from the teacher?"

"That's another master, he has passed away." Zhang He said, "Where are my master and Zilong's master or friends?"

"Oh." Li Hong smiled and said, "Then you are very destined to be together. Zilong's family background is similar to yours. You two are almost the same as you know the martial arts. You will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the future."

"We are far behind the scenes of lords." Zhang He said modestly with a blushing face.

Li Hong smiled, "I? I am apart from being a few years older than you, killing more people than you, and having a better luck than you, and not as good as you."

"I am too modest. I once siege thousands of people in Baitan City, Xianbei. His martial arts are so high that I am famous all over the world. If I use military forces and have high talents and intelligence, I will be beyond my reach. If I restore my memories and think of things from the past, I am afraid that my knowledge will be the same..."

"Okay, okay..." Li Hong shook his hand repeatedly and said loudly: "I am just a slave. Don't praise me anymore. My martial arts are good, I can protect myself. If you have any knowledge, it's just like Bai Ding. I've been told to write some of the recent documents by Zilong. It's better if you come, you will be the two of you in the future."

Zhang He turned around and looked at Zhao Yun, and the two looked at each other and smiled. The adults lost their memory and could not remember anything from the past. But judging from his current martial arts and military skills, if he recovered his memory, it would be better. Wouldn't he be a genius?

Jade came in person.

"Sir, if you walk a few more miles, you will be Chongyun Mountain. As soon as the enemy enters the mountainous area, we lose the terrain advantage and it is difficult to launch an attack. If we don't attack now, we will have no chance today."

Li Hong looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "It's going to be dark."

"Sir..." Yushi urged, "We will rush over and divide and encircle and annihilate, and we will not harm many people."

"Why can't it?" Li Hong immediately retorted: "Our cavalry rushed over and the people would immediately flee, not only blocking our attack route, but also slugging our attack speed. If your soldiers do not kill the people, I will cut your head to you."

Jade was speechless.

"It's snowing..." Zhao Yun screamed in surprise.

Li Hong looked up and saw that tiny snowflakes began to float down scatteredly, sparse and full of vitality.

Li Hong shouted happily: "Stop moving forward, stop moving forward immediately."

Chu Feiyan's heart sank and suddenly felt something was wrong.

The leopard's cavalry suddenly stopped advancing. Their front troops stood quietly in the howling cold wind, watching the crowds in front disappear into the mountains and fields in the distance.

It was getting darker. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. The cold wind roared.

"Ship Chu..." Fan Li hurriedly rushed over, with heat rising from his head. Wei Zheng hurriedly came up and gave him a secret wink.

"Ship Chu..." Fan Li saw Chu Feiyan's angry look on his face. He knew that something was wrong. He quickly knelt down on one leg and said loudly, "The Leopard Army has been fooled and follows all the way."

Chu Feiyan smiled coldly.

"The Leopard Army has stopped advancing." Wei Zheng said to him, "Ship Chu only asked you to lead the troops to lure the enemy, but did not let you retreat with the people. Although your troops have not lost any losses now, because you brought the people with you, it seriously affected the speed and wasted time. It was getting dark."

Fan Li immediately understood the reason why Chu Shuai was unhappy. He hurriedly said, "The Leopard Army has been chasing for thirty miles, and it will not give up and retreat halfway, right? As long as they are determined to arrive at An Xi, we can ambush him."

Chu Feiyan thought so too, so he could resist the anger in his heart for the time being. He spent all his efforts and fought this battle, but made a mistake in the most critical luring enemy, which he had never expected. He looked at the sweaty Fanli and wanted to rush up and kick him hard. He used the wrong person, and it was too late to say anything now.

As long as the Leopard Army continues to advance and enters Chongyun Mountain, everything is still under your control.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and in a blink of an eye, the ground gradually turned white.

Chu Feiyan looked at the scout's figure getting closer and closer, and her heart suddenly started to beat violently.

He was eagerly hoping that the scout could tell him that the enemy was moving forward.

"Shishou Chu, the enemy has withdrawn."

Chu Feiyan was suddenly completely disappointed.

Li Hong set up the camp at the north gate of Liwu City, and troops were strictly prohibited from entering the city.
