(Haha, thank you for the reward of Jianghu Night Talk, Beixiong has one more alliance leader, and here, I would also like to thank NCIL and other book friends for their continued support.) ）

"Report, the enemy army has passed the good country."

"Report, the enemy's forward headquarters is less than thirty miles."

"Report, the enemy's forward headquarters has reached twenty miles away."

Li Po listened quietly, and the movements and strength of the enemy army were almost all clearly explored.

There are about 15,000 men and horses, only 2,000 cavalry, the infantry formation is very strict, the front army, the middle army, and the rear guard are clearly layered, which is worthy of the name of Hebei's strong army.

The war between cavalry and mixed infantry and cavalry, Li Po also experienced it for the first time.

To say that the cavalry should have a natural advantage, but Li Po is still a little bottomless in his heart.

Because he thought of the shields and spears of the infantry soldiers in the Heng'an town army, and the archers in the ranks.

If the Youzhou army is like this, what kind of lethality it will cause to the cavalry, he really can't be sure if he hasn't fought a single battle.

Of course, this kind of worry is only based on how big the casualties are, Li Po would never think that he would lead more than 10,000 cavalry elites to be defeated in the field battle by the 15,000 Youzhou army, that is a joke.

Once the Youzhou army is out of the city, the chances of the Heng'an town army will jump from the original fifty percent to ten percent......

The Youzhou army marched faster and faster, but after stopping in Liangxiang for one night, the pace of the next day's march suddenly slowed down.

This is not a harbinger of the withdrawal of troops, but only because of the usual rhythm of war as the enemy gets closer and closer.

At this time, the collision between the scouts of the two armies also became intense.

The Youzhou army's desire to find out the enemy situation in front is becoming more and more urgent, and the scouts of the Hengan town army have been shrinking. But as the distance between the two armies shortened, they still began to fight with the scouts of the Youzhou army.

These are the brave men of the two armies, chasing and coming along the North Juma River, and playing the prelude to the battle of the army with the blood that is constantly spilled.

Luo Yi who sits in the Chinese army. Hearing the reports coming back from the front, my heart became more and more uneasy.

The scouts were so badly damaged that it didn't look like they were attacking a group of rebels at all, but more like they were fighting another Sui army.

The news from the scouts is becoming more and more clear, the other party is wearing half-body armor, skilled in horsemanship, and the cavalry they encounter are all experienced cavalry, and even these arrogant Youzhou army scouts have to admit that the other party is brave. Better than yourself.

If it weren't for the fact that Juyong Pass in the north didn't move at all, and the other party's dress didn't match, Luo Yi would definitely think that it was the Turkic elite rider who appeared here.

Song Jingang, Wei Dao'er's chaotic army, there will not be such a group of brave people, even in Dou Jiande's army, it will not be like this.

Luo Yi already smelled a strong smell of danger. His intuition made him immediately order someone to pass the order to the front army and stop on the spot. Wait for the arrival of the main force of the army.

Less than ten miles north of the North Juma River, the Youzhou army gathered together and no longer took half a step forward.

At this time, Luo Yi had already decided to withdraw his troops and return to Liangxiang, waiting to find out the enemy situation before reasoning.

This is similar to the battle between the Heng'an army and the Turks at the beginning of the year. The trap was laid out, but for those generals with a keen sense of smell, it lacked enough temptation.

The trap arranged by Li Po is more refined, so most of the Youzhou army has already come in. The small half of the body is still outside, because they have not crossed the tributary of the Juma River, the North Juma River.

If they cross the river and come to the county seat of Zhuoxian, then they will also come to the middle of the trap, and if they don't defeat the Heng'an town army, they won't want to leave.

At this time, they still have some way out, because they are not very far from their good hometown.

At this moment, Li Po heard the news that the Youzhou army was no longer moving forward, and looked up at the sky, it was noon, the sky was a little gloomy, and the south wind was not strong.

Silently calculated the distance between the two armies, almost twenty miles away, this is not a short distance, but it is definitely not a long distance, if the Youzhou army can be ruthless, they will soon be able to find this cavalry army so close to them, to Wei Chigong, Luo Shixin and others on the south bank of the North Juma River, and they can hide for a while.

After pondering for a long time, Li Po no longer hesitated, the two armies were fighting, everything that could be done had been done, Luo Yi also led the army here, and the rest depended on whose fist was harder.

"Order, the whole army is open, slow down, maintain an offensive formation, and once the enemy is encountered, attack immediately."

"Herald, trumpet."

In the sound of the order, as Li Po's award flag moved forward, the solemn cavalry army began to slowly surge, and the dense sound of horses' hooves gradually became the only sound in the world.

More scouts, breaking away from the army, cruising back and forth around the army.

The sound of a low horn sounded at the same time, and it was heard on the south bank, and in a relay to another cavalry army in the southwest.

This time, the tactics are quite simple, whether it is the terrain or the size of the cavalry army, it is determined that the cavalry tactics will not have much room to show.

The main force of the army led by Li Po himself, 8,000 cavalry, wanted to make an unreserved frontal attack, and Wei Chigong and others would attack the flank of the Youzhou army later.

How long this time interval is depends on whether Wei Chigong and the others can arrive at the battlefield in time.

In fact, in Li Po's view, the combat power of the Heng'an Town Army Cavalry is far from reaching its peak, because most of the soldiers in the army are relatively short grassland horses, and the proportion of Hexi horses is getting smaller and smaller.

What makes people laugh and cry is that as the battles progress, the soldiers of the Heng'an Town Army like the prairie horses more and more, and they are no longer disgusted by their shortness.

There is no way, the advantages of grassland horses are too obvious, they are easy to raise, hard-working, and their tolerance to the cold is also much higher than that of Hexi horses.

Their shortcomings are also obvious, they are not explosive enough, and they are much worse than Hexi horses in terms of weight.

Therefore, the ideal state is to charge the battle on a Hexi horse and march on a steppe horse.

The armored heavy cavalry of the Heng'an Zhen Army has never had room to exert their might, because they have never had the opportunity to position themselves and attack the enemy's infantry army head-on.

Just like this time, at a distance of more than 20 miles, Li Po wanted to exert the power of the cavalry to attack, and he also did not leave any chance for the heavy cavalry to go into battle.

It can be said that as far as the Heng'an Town Army is concerned, the light cavalry has completely eliminated the heavy cavalry.

In the dull sound of horses' hooves, the army, like a balloon that had been blown up, rapidly expanded and spread, quickly forming a relatively wide front.

The well-trained sergeants of Heng'an Town, amid the roars of the officers, lined up in a row in the march, and gradually widened the distance.

Within a dozen miles, the army had completely entered the state of attack.

The soldiers of Heng'an Town, who had been in battle for a long time, looked ahead, their eyes slowly bloodshot, and without any impassioned words to stimulate their morale, they were already ready for the tragic battle like the war horses under their seats.

Behind the army, there was some chaos, which was caused by the recruits recruited by the Heng'an Town Army this year and the cavalry from Yanmen and Loufu, who were not very suitable for such a rhythm.

The war horse began to trot, waving smoke and dust in the sky, and the earth was also trampled by the horse's hooves, trembling its thick body slightly, and this world was also filled with the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

The murderous aura gradually chilled the warm south wind, and the Grim Reaper began to spread his teeth and claws in the sky, waiting to enjoy the feast that followed.

The overture of the war gradually rises to the top, and when it enters the theme, it may burst out at any time with the strongest notes to exaggerate the grandeur and cruelty of the war.

"Cavalry, a lot of cavalry ......"

In fact, there is no need to report at all, the smoke and dust in the northwest direction has already made the Youzhou army aware of it.

Like the other generals, shock and fear overwhelmed Luo Yi's sanity in an instant.

Because they are on the unobstructed Hebei Plain, they will face a large-scale cavalry raid.

"Order, order, defend the enemy on the spot, prepare for battle, prepare for battle."

"Give Luo Zheng an order to lead his troops to the north and prepare to attack the enemy's flank."

"Send an order to Zhang Yuanji, even if he dies, he must defend the front army for me."

“……”

A series of military orders blurted out, and it can be seen that as one of the most combative leading generals in the Youzhou Army, Luo Yi is not an incompetent person.

As the military order was handed down, the slightly flustered Youzhou Army calmed down, and Luo Yi himself threw other emotions out of the clouds by the way.

The so-called narrow road meets, the brave wins, Luo Yi turned over and rode on the war horse, and did not hesitate to move the flag forward to the front of the formation, inspiring the morale of the whole army with his actions.

I have to say that Luo Yi can rise in the Youzhou Army and be unique, relying on this ruthlessness.

But in fact, Luo Yi himself knew in his heart at this time that this was undoubtedly a life-and-death juncture, there was no camp, no trench, no rejection of horses, and even the surrounding hills were very low.

In such a place, attacked by a large group of cavalry, this Youzhou strong army, which was soaked in his hard work, was already in an absolute disadvantage.

What a cunning enemy, and I hope they are not as fierce as their cunning......

At this time, he no longer thought about where these enemies came from, how could they suddenly appear on the land of Youzhou, because they didn't have any meaning.

He only knew one thing, every moment the enemy delayed, the Youzhou army would have one more moment of time to prepare, and the Youzhou army with a complete formation would have the strength to fight.

At this time, his regretful intestines are almost green, he has made too many mistakes, he shouldn't have come out with this bit of soldiers and horses, he shouldn't have known that there was danger ahead, and forcibly led the troops forward, etc., etc., etc., the most fatal thing is that he shouldn't want to retreat back to Liangxiang at this time......

In his hesitation, he wasted his most precious time, and even if he camped here, it would be much better than the current situation.
