The area on the north bank of the Yellow River is dominated by plains, especially after crossing the river from Mengjindu, and there is a wide distance with flat land. Huan Wen personally led an army of 10,000 troops, which were transported by the warships of the navy to the opposite shore to land. The warships at this time were not like the ones of later generations, and if the large and small ships were combined, it was not easy to transport 10,000 troops.

In addition, the number of warships going north this time is not particularly large, so it is inevitable to let these warships take turns to go into battle and transport the army in several batches. As a result, when all the armies were ashore, it was already a long time.

Before going ashore, Huan Wen was also cautious, and first sent a lot of scouts to investigate the situation. When he had reported that everything was safe, he ordered the army to go ashore.

There was a pontoon bridge in the past in Mengjindu, which was built by Du Pre, a famous minister in the Western Jin Dynasty. However, after so many years, because of the war, the pontoon bridge is directly gone. Therefore, if you want to travel between the two sides of the strait, you still have to rely on boats.

After the disembarkation of the army, the ships of the navy left the shore to protect themselves from enemy attacks on the north shore. After all, if after the army left, the Yan army suddenly made a detour and killed all the warships, and the navy alone would not be able to resist it.

When Huan Wen and the others withdrew, a signal was given above the ferry, and the ships would sail back to pick them up.

"General, where should we go?" Huan Yun came over and asked him for instructions.

To the north of Mong Jin Du is Hanoi County, and after crossing the river, it is Wen County to the east and Ha Duong County to the west. However, the distance between these two counties and the ferry is about the same, otherwise, there is no need to worry too much about this problem.

After thinking for a while, Huan Wen said: "Heyang County was the place where Murong Ke's army was stationed before, and the grain and grass supporting Luoyang and other places were also transported to Heyin from there. Let's go there first, and after destroying the enemy army in Heyang County, we will deal with the enemy army in other places! ”

As the military order was issued, the army quickly killed in the direction of Heyang County.

Heyang County is not the same as Wen County, because Wen County can be said to be surrounded by unobstructed flat land, while the north of Heyang County is a branch of Taihang Mountain, so the terrain is relatively more complicated.

When Huan Wen arrived at the city of Heyang, he found that the city was already heavily guarded. Obviously, the other party has already received the news of his call, and he has been prepared for a long time.

Fortunately, the county seat of Heyang County is not too big, and it can't even compare to the county seat of Henan, so Huan Wen didn't pay too much attention to it.

After looking at it for a while, he directly ordered the army to attack the city. Although there are a lot of large equipment, there should not be much of a problem for such a county.

Since Huan Wen did not intend to stay on the north bank of the Yellow River for a long time at the beginning, the battle was fierce at the beginning, and he almost pressed most of his troops.

Judging from this situation, Heyang County should be easy to take, but the problem is that some bad news began to spread.

"General Qiyu, I found that a large group of enemy cavalry was killed in the north!"

"Report, in the mountains to the west, I suddenly found the figure of the enemy horseman, and I am constantly rushing here!"

The horses can be described as one horse after another, constantly reporting bad news. And every time he heard the news, Huan Wen's face became much more ugly.

"General, it seems that the enemy has been prepared for a long time, and it is expected that we will attack Heyang City, so we ambushed the soldiers and horses elsewhere first. Now that our army is numerous, but the other party is killing with cavalry, I'm afraid it is not easy for us to resist, so it is better to retreat back to Luoyang immediately! After hearing the news, the generals and strategists beside him persuaded one after another.

Huan Wen was not reconciled at all, after all, he came this time to give Murong Ke a heavy blow, so as to achieve the effect of intimidating them. But looking at it now, it's clear that this thing is not as easy as you think!

"Withdraw your troops!" Huan Wen almost gritted his teeth and said word by word.

If the other party had come with foot soldiers, he could have fought with them, but now the other side was killed by a large group of cavalry. Huan Wen knew in his heart that he couldn't resist it at all, and if he didn't hurry up and withdraw his troops, I was afraid that the final outcome would be very ugly.

If the 10,000-strong army is really damaged here, the good situation that has just been restored may be reversed all at once. At that time, even if he has the help of the navy, he will no longer have the power to return to heaven, and he can only withdraw his troops back to Jiangling in a gray manner.

The order to withdraw troops is easy to make, but it is not so easy to carry out the order in place. There was no way, Huan Wen had to order the army to withdraw along the shore in the direction of the rear ferry, and on the other hand, he sent people to inform the warships to drive up along the Yellow River as soon as possible. In this way, the two sides may be able to meet in the middle and shorten the time of convergence.

But these thoughts of his should have been expected by Murong Ke, so the cavalry he sent was very fast. Just five miles away from Heyang County, the Huan Wen army was caught up by them.

In the face of the constant attacks of the enemy cavalry, Huan Wen soon found that it was obviously impossible for him to block the opponent while retreating. The only way is to form a formation on the spot, rely on the Yellow River as a formation, and then resist the opponent's attack.

In this way, as long as the naval ships arrive, the army can board the ship smoothly. At the very least, it can reduce a lot of losses.

The two sides started a big battle on the shore, which is Huan Wen leading the army, otherwise, if other Jiangzuo generals come, I am afraid that the army will be defeated at this moment.

I think that at the time of the Yongjia Change, in a place like Ningping City, there were 100,000 soldiers in the hands of the Western Jin Dynasty, but under the attack of Shi Le, the whole army was wiped out. If you really want to blame it, it's not because of the incompetence of those few leaders.

Under Huan Wen's strict orders, the army finally formed a military formation, and the outermost shield was used as a barrier to block the enemy's attack. At this time, the cavalry of the Yan army was constantly shooting outside, divided into small teams one by one, and constantly launched an attack on Huan Wen's military formation.

Since the Murong regime was originally the Hu regime, there were many Hu people in the army. For them, riding and archery kung fu is nothing. In this way, it is much more flexible when attacking.

Cavalry attacks like this were originally based on guerrilla harassment, taking advantage of long-range attacks to constantly attack the enemy. Waves of cavalry were like waves, constantly firing arrows into the military formation, and from time to time using the impact of the war horses to impact the military formation.

Once it is said that there is a place that has been breached, then the other brigades of cavalry will also be killed directly. When the time comes, unless it is really a very strong army, it will basically be directly scattered.

The army under Huan Wen is definitely not a strong army, and even compared to the Yan army, it is still a little worse. If it weren't for the danger of the Yellow River behind them, I'm afraid these soldiers would have already scattered and fled.

Invisibly, Huan Wen happened to be in line with the pattern of the last battle this time, helping him find a plan to defeat the enemy. No matter how the enemy attacked, basically, the entire army formation was relatively stable.

"Woo... Woo....! Just as Huan Wen was slightly relieved by the temporary stability of the situation, suddenly a low horn sound came from the north, and then a sound of horses' hooves that was different from that of ordinary cavalry sounded.

The voice was unusually dull, and it felt like it was very powerful every time it sounded. Although the sound is not particularly loud, it seems a little special on such a battlefield, and it is actually heard by many people.

Soon, everyone saw where the sound was coming from. After seeing the enemy cavalry from the north, about 100 special cavalry suddenly rushed out, and rushed towards the army formation on his side without stopping.

The reason why these cavalry are special is because they are different from ordinary cavalrymen, they are all wearing black armor, and even the war horses are covered with a layer of armor. Under this sunlight, it looks like it will reflect the light.

"Mounted cavalry!" Seeing this enemy rider who was less than a hundred horsemen, Huan Wen's eyelids couldn't help jumping, and he blurted out.

The so-called mounted cavalry is actually heavy cavalry, but in the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, it was usually called armored horses or mounted cavalry. It's just that this thing is not something that anyone can afford to play, so even if it appears on the battlefield, the number is very small.

After all, it is faster and less expensive to train an extra batch of light cavalry and foot soldiers than to build such an expensive and unusual mounted cavalry! After all, people at this time are still very superstitious about the advantage of numbers.

But there is no doubt that although the mounted cavalry is a little more expensive, there is a reason why it is expensive! Such a guy is almost invulnerable, and if you use it to charge into battle, it is very suitable.

Murong Ke obviously also saw that the light cavalry was attacking Huan Wen's army formation for a while, and he was afraid that if the time was delayed for too long, Jiang Zuo's army would rush over. Therefore, he transferred all the mounted cavalry under his command to use.

I have to say that the timing is just right at this time. As soon as these mounted cavalry appeared, they immediately caused great psychological pressure on Huan Wen's army, and many people couldn't help but be scared when they saw these guys who looked like iron towers.

When the armed cavalry was in front of the battle, ordinary bows and spears could not cause them any damage. It was still an incomparably sturdy array, but it was directly knocked away by them with a bang.
