At the end of May, the southern part of the state was already full of vegetation.

In normal times, there are large areas of fertile land in Xiyi Fenshui, which should be the time when the seedlings are beginning to grow and are full of vitality.

But now, there is no need to say anything about the ridges, even the farmers are gone.

The conquest of the army has long made this place a wilderness, overgrown with vegetation and trees, covering up the traces of people in the past.

Of course, at this moment, more than 100,000 horses of the Tang army waved the army to the north, and it can be said that there are many people here, and the newly grown grass and trees have all been trampled by the seedlings, and the army has trampled over, which is a mess.

Seven or eight miles northwest of the Tang Army, the rough-faced Xun Xiang stopped his horse, and as soon as his body jumped, he stood on the horse, set up a pergola in his hand, and looked into the distance.

Here you can already clearly see the banner of the Tang Army, as well as a group of Tang soldiers marching forward.

He has rich combat experience, but he is actually stopping on a line that seems to be dangerous for the cavalry, and the direction is also just right, and he will not be surrounded by anyone.

Xun Xiang is a Mayi person, with many characteristics of the Mayi people, with a rough face, a strong and tall body, and a fierce spirit that can always make ordinary people retreat.

When Li Po was wandering around in Mayi, he was a member of the Mayi Ma Kuai, and he was also ordered to track down the bloody case in Mayi City, which was barely a bit of an intersection with Li Po.

And he had some friendship with Yu Chigong at that time, he was not as shrewd as Wei Chigong, Yu Chigong went to Heng'an Zhenjun, but he stayed in Mayi.

Later, Liu Wuzhou, Huang Ziying and others made a rebellion, as a well-known and surnamed man in Mayi City, he was naturally mixed in, and he was still one of Liu Wuzhou's more important ones.

When Li Po led the army to quell the rebellion in Mayi, he directly cut off the heads of Liu Wuzhou, Huang Ziying and others, and Xun Xiang should have been among those who were punished, but Wei Chigong saved his life and quietly left him behind.

The grace of saving lives should be repaid by the spring.

Since then, Xunxiang has followed Yu Chi Gong's side, and became his personal guard, as Wei Chi Gong's official position grew, he also rose to the top, and became the captain of the Left Guard Mansion.

This time, he led people out to investigate the movements of the Tang army, and there were more than a dozen people around him, and there were teams of scouts around him, and they were afraid that there would be hundreds of people.

They were scattered in a very wide area, occupying a favorable position, and almost conducting an all-round snoop on the front army of the Tang Army.

After looking at it for a while, he had almost seen it.

In fact, he is not a qualified scout, those thieves and thieves, in his opinion...... Well, even if he has his back to the tree, he definitely doesn't want to provoke easily.

It was all formed by the old foundation of the Heng'an Town Army, and when the army was fighting, it would be under the jurisdiction of the generals of each department, and it was actually a separate army on weekdays.

Those fellows are not easy to mess with, and any one of the armies who has made a name for himself will soon be singled out, and over time, they will undoubtedly become the elite of the elite of the cavalry.

At that time, the scout battalion was now called the Flying Cavalry Army in the army, with about 3,000 people, and the military system was completely different, and the three leading captains there were no worse than those generals in the army.

The commander of this flying cavalry army is Li Wu, who has disappeared for a long time, and since this unknown person has gone, no one has been able to take that position.

Everyone also knows that this position may be reserved for the Lord to his henchmen.

Xun Xiangzhong sat back on the horse and said with a smile: "These thieves are slower than turtles, and they are quite neatly arranged......

The others all laughed when they heard this, and when the army of more than 100,000 people plus the people was almost 200,000 people marching in the wilderness, there was naturally no need to mention the prestige.

But in the eyes of these border elites, that's the same thing.

It's not cavalry, and no matter how many people there are, they can't help it.

Xun Xiang waved his hand, "Let's go, let's take a look to the south." ”

The Tang army was indeed walking very slowly, and at this time it was only twenty or thirty miles north of Jiexiu, and it was estimated that the tail was still under Jiexiu City, and it was not early, and the Tang army was about to set up camp.

As Wei Chigong's confidant, Xun Xiang understands very well that the exploration at this time is not very useful, and tomorrow is the time to see the real chapter a little, and General Xue in the south will lead the army to attack and harass, which is almost the day after tomorrow, which is the time for the Tang army to really suffer some hardships.

Two or three miles to the south, there was an extra group of cavalry behind Xun Xiang, and scouts like them could barely be counted around the huge body of the Tang army, watching their prey like a pack of wolves.

As long as the Tang army does not want to spread the military formation they have set up, they are almost helpless to take these flies, and the cavalry of the Tang army is too precious......

Of course, it is also necessary to detect the enemy's situation.

In fact, by this time, some of the more experienced generals in the Tang Army had gradually become afraid.

The army is fighting, the enemy situation in front is unknown, and the scouts are released, just like mud cattle entering the sea, never returning, and they can't even get out within a radius of ten miles.

They had never seen such a situation before, and the feeling of danger involuntarily raised in people's hearts.

At the end of the day, some people began to make suggestions to Li Shentong, sending a few teams of cavalry out to find out the enemy's situation, and set up an ambush around the army to strangle the enemy scouts.

Li Shentong was still calm, he believed that the main force of the enemy army should be not far ahead.

The more enemy scouts appeared around the army, the more it showed that the enemy army had the intention of fighting a decisive battle with the army, which was a situation he really wanted to see.

Moreover, the distance between Jiexiu and Pingyao is not too far.

If the enemy pretends to be smart and bypasses the army to sneak attack Jiexiu and Sparrow Mouse Valley, then it will be a miscalculation, he will wave his army and go straight to the state, and when the time comes, it will actually be the strength and combat power of the army......

Moreover, bypassing the Don army...... Hehe, in addition to the cavalry, the infantry army can be ignored, and the cavalry will attack the city...... That is also a scene that Li Shentong is very willing to see.

Therefore, as long as you guard the military formation along the way and do not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, it should be certain that you will fight a decisive battle under Pingyao City.

What made him most sure was that there were 7,000 cavalry in the army, which was not much less than the enemy's cavalry, and he was also confident that in terms of cavalry armor, he was even better than the iron cavalry.

As long as he finds the right fighter and destroys the enemy's cavalry in a battle, what means can Li Po have left?

No matter how you do it, I will not move.

The commander of the Tang Army, who had completely lost the opportunity on the battlefield, still thought he had a plan at this time, and if Li Po knew about it, he would definitely laugh off his big teeth.

And Xu Shixian, who was on the left flank of the Tang army, came to the edge of the army at this time, looking at the opposite bank across the Fenshui, where there were also wandering cavalry wandering, like maggots on tarsal bones, coming and going with the Tang army.

Xu Shiyun's heart gradually sank, and the word cavalry gradually became clear in his mind.

It is not that there are no cavalry in the Henan army, but the number is too small, and every time there is a big battle, the cavalry of hundreds of people is a force that cannot be ignored, and it often means that the main general of the first army is among them.

Moreover, after several years of fighting, there are few cavalry figures in the Henan army, not that the cavalry is dead, but there are not enough war horses, and there is no place to replenish them.

As a result, in the consciousness of Henan generals, there is often the illusion that the infantry should be the main force on the battlefield.

And now, having seen more of the cavalry in the Tang Army, Xu Shiyun felt quite shocked, but the army moved forward, with such a strong force, and a large group of cavalry accompanying it, but was bullied by the enemy scouts to such a distance.

Looking at the enemy cavalry who calmly rode their horses in the distance and wandered on the opposite bank as if they were playing, Xu Shiyun seemed to suddenly understand what the benefits of the border cavalry had reached.

They are not afraid of the loss of precious cavalry on the battlefield, and every move of the army is inseparable from their eyes and ears.

If you keep going like this, can the army go to the city of Pingyao? One negligence after that, it is likely that he will be attacked by a large cavalry......

Xu Shixian's back was slightly cold, he was even a little glad that he was on the left flank of the army at this time, just close to Fenshui, even if the cavalry killed, it would be impossible to kill him, unless the enemy wanted to plunge into Fenshui.

Xu Shiyun turned his head and said to Zhang Liang, "Do you think I want to talk to General Li to prevent the rear army from being attacked by the enemy?" ”

Zhang Liang habitually opened Bai Sensen's teeth and smiled innocently, but his smile at this time looked quite stiff, a little weird, and not honest at all.

"Both are surnamed Li, what else can you say about us? The surnamed Jiang listened to it next to him, and Xu was about to say that we would shake the morale of the army, so we would be thrown into Fenshui to feed the fish first. ”

Okay, Xu Shiyun just asked, nodded and said, "Let's talk to everyone, cheer me up, don't be careless, our casualties are enough...... Let people give me a good look at Jiang Baoyi, if there is a change, I will tie up this guy first and then talk about ......"

"Also, don't mix with others, once something happens, stick to it."

Zhang Liang nodded again and again, "Who wants to mix with us?" Don't worry, general, whether to fight or retreat at that time is a matter of your words, but ...... This is more than 100,000 people, looking much more neat than our army in Henan, can it really be defeated? ”

Xu Shiyun let out a long breath, then sighed, and said, "If there are many people, we can win the battle, why did we end up where we are now?" ”

"I see...... This soldier in the north is not an easy person, it is better to prepare early, it is not easy for us to escape from under the seat of Duke Wei, how? Do you want to stay here? ”

The two of them talked, and took people back to their own army, while on the other side, the bloodstained face searched, and the corpses in one place were examined with satisfaction.

The three hundred Tang troops only left the army for more than ten miles, and they were surrounded and killed by Xunxiang and his people, and none of them ran away.
