Now Yi Nan regrets it very much, why do you want to go deep into Yizhou, it can be described as a dilemma, now if you want to exit Yizhou and return to the grassland, there is only one way to go, that is, to bypass Yishui, that is, Yishui who is cold and cold, and then look for a way from the Great Wall.

It's just that Xue Yantuo is also full of cavalry, and it is very difficult to cross the Great Wall and avoid the checkpoints.

The Great Wall as the best means of defending the grassland, is because most of it is built on the mountains, while blocking some sheep intestine paths, only a few hundred people, can let tens of thousands of people, not an inch in a short time, and then in the support of the army, with the city wall as the support, condescending, want to attack the past, the same is no less than a siege battle.

As for attacking Juyong Pass, or continuing to go south, it is a very difficult matter, and it can be said that there are wolves in front and tigers in the back.

Although Yi Nan said that he only sent 50,000 troops, this refers to 50,000 to control the strings, and there are several thousand people in the logistics, plus the captured Han slaves, adding up to nearly 60,000 people around him, and food is a great pressure. Originally, I thought that I could grab a lot of things, and there was no need to worry about food, but at first it was true, but now everything that can be robbed nearby has been robbed, and if I want to find a place to rob, I can only attack the city.

The key is that now even the people in the small county town have been evacuated, which makes Yi Nan very uncomfortable, so he has to find a way to withdraw from the Central Plains.

Between siege and field battle, of course he chose field battle, but because of the killing order, every time his scouts were scattered, no more than 12 out of 10 could come back, which made him almost blind.

Xue Wanche's cavalry has been wandering around the periphery of Yi Nan, whenever Yi Nan sends a small team, he will find a way to eat it, on his own territory, he doesn't have to worry about being ambushed by Yi Nan, and knowing that his large army is behind, he is not in a hurry to find Yi Nan desperately, but he keeps biting.

Yi Nan was very helpless about this, the small team had no choice, and Xue Wanche didn't show up, and set traps many times, but Xue Wanche was not fooled. He was sure that the enemy was doing something against him, but now he was about to become blind.

After thinking about it, Yi Nan still decided to fight first, if he didn't defeat the chasing soldiers behind, there would be no way to evacuate with peace of mind, and the most important thing was that he still believed that Shibi Khan could take Youzhou, at least attract the main force of the Central Plains.

Near Yishui, choose an open place to camp, so that you can give full play to the greatest advantages of the cavalry, and you are not afraid of being ambushed by design, because Yi Nan clearly knows that if you want to play with your heart, you will definitely not be able to play with the Central Plains.

As Yi Nan stopped, Zou Yu led the beggar army and slowly rushed over, converging with Wei Chi Jingde and Xue Wanche. The current beggar army has grown to 50,000 people, and this is because 20,000 were selected for logistics.

Yi Nan's men and horses shrank together, which makes it difficult to do, now both sides can't afford to drag it out, Yi Nan is worried about dragging it out until winter, once the weather is cold and there is a lack of food and clothing, there will only be freezing to death and starvation; And Zou Yu's side is anxious to support Youzhou, although it is said that Youzhou has long been fortified and cleared, and it is waiting for reinforcements, but after all, Shibi Khan has an army of 300,000, even if he uses people, he can also take a few cities.

"Gotta fight!" Zou Yu came up with the same decision as Yi Nan.

"The Turks have fifty or sixty thousand cavalry! We only have 70,000 or 80,000 foot soldiers, and we are still a group of newly recruited people. This... How to fight? Pei Shiqing asked in surprise.

"Yes, General, although the soldiers are well equipped, after all, they are new troops and foot soldiers, so I'm afraid they won't have much chance of winning." Wei Chi Jingde also persuaded.

Thanks to the emptying of the Daxing City treasury, Zou Yu's weapons are very sufficient, and he can equip at least two or three hundred thousand people, so although the beggar army has not undergone much training, the weapons equipped are really not bad.

"Of course I know that, but I have to fight for now! And it will be decided by a war! Xue Wanshu, the two generals, with 15,000 men under his command, arrived just recently, and it was time for the decisive battle. Zou Yu said with certainty.

"But how do we use our footmen against the cavalry? The new army has not experienced a major war, but it can easily collapse? Xue Wanche asked puzzled, he didn't believe that Zou Yu's head was hot, and he wanted to find the Turks desperately.

"It's easy! The most effective way to deal with the cavalry is to make them unable to move, I walked slowly all the way, in addition to training the beggar army, I also kept making rejecting horses, on the way, cutting down tens of thousands of trees, just to trap the cavalry of Yi Nan! Zou Yu explained.

"This..."Xue Wanche and Wei Chi Jingde looked at each other, such a simple way really worried them, after all, when the cavalry attacked the camp, one would suppress it with bows and arrows, and the other would use ropes to pull the fence, this Zou Yu couldn't have known, they couldn't think of any other tricks to play.

As for the field sneak attack, not to mention, in a wide place, even if the night attack and the cavalry charge, I am afraid that it will be their own people who will collapse first.

"Of course, it won't be that simple, and we have to fight hard in the end, but this requires our elite to withstand the initial attack." Zou Yu continued.

"Please give the general an order!" Wei Chi Jingde was too lazy to worry about it, and simply hugged his fists and saluted, which means that you say, what do you want me to do.

"Specific action, wait for Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanshu The two generals will arrive, and then make arrangements, now Jingde, you will lead people to cooperate with the beggar army to cut down trees, and General Xue will continue to hunt down and kill Yi Nan's scouts, kill one more, and then we will have one less enemy." Zou Yu rubbed the bridge of his nose and said.

He doesn't have absolute certainty of winning, and there are some details to think about, especially how to make the most of the power in his hands.

"Whoa!"

Two days later, Xue Wanshu and Xue Wanshu brothers also arrived, and after the convergence, nearly 110,000 people slaughtered Yishui.

With such a big movement, he naturally couldn't hide it from Yi Nan, not only was Yi Nan not surprised, but he was relieved, the enemy went out of the city to fight, at least it was much better than attacking the city, especially when all the foot soldiers came, he was even less worried.

For a long time, the best way to deal with cavalry is cavalry, whether it is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or Cao Cao, the cavalry of the broken grassland, are all made of cavalry, in the period of Emperor Wen, and even in the first few years, there was no shortage of war horses in the Central Plains, so that the grassland could not be suppressed. It's just that because of the three expeditions to Goguryeo, they died in battle, froze to death, and exhausted a lot of war horses, and in recent years, there have been endless wars, and the Central Plains war horses are really in short supply.

As for Zou Yu's side, although there are a lot of war horses in Liaodong, half of them belong to herdsmen, and if they want to get it, they still have to pay a lot of materials, because it is enough in a short time, and Zou Yu has no idea of fighting them.
