After the light of day again, Yu Zhilong continued to watch the performance on the training ground, and all the generals used their strength to practice, especially Huang Er, Chang Zhi and other generals, yesterday's defeat stimulated their blood, and the soldiers also understood that they were about to go to the battlefield, and they gritted their teeth and insisted on it in order to have one more chance of survival at the moment of life and death.

Mingxiong and others, as the commanders and adjudicators of the exercise, were busy on the various drill grounds, pointing out the deficiencies of various units, and in less than a morning, six or seven more soldiers were wounded and carried down.

When the sun was about to reach noon, the various departments finished their drills and were about to return to the camp to rest, when suddenly a horse galloped and ordered: King Shuntian urgently summoned the generals and generals to discuss, and the Yidu army went south!

Liu Zhengfeng urgently convened the generals at his residence, and Liu Zhengfeng sat upright in the middle, and sixty or seventy people, including generals and captains, sat below. After waiting for everyone to gather, Liu Zhengfeng went straight to the point and the scouts of Yidu City came back to report urgently, this morning the officials and troops of Yidu began to move, and the vanguard of the Yuan army set off to the south in the early hours of this morning, and the number of soldiers and horses should be more than two thousand people, and the banner is clearly the righteous army Meng! Among them, the handsome flag is Meng Qing!

This old rival has reappeared!

The generals had serious faces, and quietly listened to the news that the scout stood aside to inform the probe, the scout had already told King Shuntian before, and this time it was to introduce it to the generals of the whole army again.

Another astonishing news came, just after the Meng rebel army, closely followed by a Yuan cavalry, under the banner of the Su Guards, judging by the size of its men and horses, about 2,000 cavalry. This cavalry suddenly appeared in Yidu City in the early hours of this morning before the Meng Clan's rebels pulled out their camp and headed south.

Moreover, the Yuan Cavalry did not rest, and came slowly behind the Meng Clan's righteous army! It can be seen that its fighting spirit is high!

Liu Zhengfeng, the king of Shuntian, Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan, Yu Zhilong, Wan Jinhai, Zhao Shi, Xia Houen, Yu Shichang and other generals were deeply surprised, and the addition of this Yuan cavalry greatly changed the situation of the war, making the original battle plan no longer possible.

Liu Zhengfeng and the others originally planned to take advantage of the fact that when the Yuan army had just arrived, the foothold was not stable, and the soldiers were tired, the whole army went out together, striving to eliminate the vanguard of the Yuan army, and then fight a decisive battle with the rear enemy. Now that the Meng rebels are closely followed by the Yuan cavalry, this plan cannot be implemented.

With the mobile response of a large force of cavalry, its vanguard can be reunited and set up to hold on, the cavalry is outside and around, the two sides echo each other, it is extremely difficult to completely gnaw the opponent's forward, and under the attack of the opponent's large force of cavalry, their own losses are bound to be amazing, and the result of this battle will become a tragedy.

Unlike Yu Zhilong's cavalry training, Liu Zhengfeng, Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan, Wan Jinhai, and Xia Houen did not train a large cavalry team, and most of the war horses were assigned to officers at all levels and personal soldiers.

In order to set up a cavalry team, Yu Zhilong even basically canceled the personal soldiers of himself and his generals, he and Zhao Shi only retained eight or nine people, and the generals' personal soldiers only retained five or six people.

In fact, the only generals in the Jing'an army who can have horses to ride are Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi.

In order to form a cavalry with a strong assault and strength, Yu Zhilong made a lot of determination. In several discussions with Zhao Shi and other generals, they finally unified their opinions, gathered the war horses, and formed a cavalry team.

Zhao Shi, Wu Side, Hou Ying, etc. have all seen the powerful attack power of the Yuan cavalry, with the help of Mingxiong's many years of military experience and training experience, it can greatly improve the cavalry combat power of the Jing'an Army, but most of them have become infantry generals, and they really don't feel used to it!

Liu Zhengfeng and other generals simply formed cavalry teams of 100 people at most, but due to the limitations of war horses and personnel, each cavalry team of 100 people was not satisfied. Some don't even reach half of it.

Yu Shichang has been holding back his strength to fight a big victory, for some of Zhilong's practices, Yu Shichang usually pays more attention, he has fought with the Yuan cavalry, and also understands the importance of forming a cavalry, so he has trained a cavalry in the department, but the scale of Yu Shichang's men and horses is small, and he is only basically full of a team of 100 people.

"Where did the cavalry come from?" Liu Zhengfeng asked.

"I don't know, look at the banner is not the soldiers and horses of Yidu Road, those people are all Tartars, full of nonsense, and our people can't understand it at all when they get closer. Moreover, there were many guards outside the camp, and outsiders were not allowed to approach, so they could not be known for a while. Some brothers saw that the armor system was a bit similar to the Tartar encountered on the mountain road at the beginning. ”

"So it's likely that most of the Tartars came!" Liu Zhengfeng clenched his fists vigorously.

The Mongols' belief in the invincibility of their iron cavalry was not something that could be easily broken. In fact, so far, in large-scale frontal battles with the Yuan army, the local people's armies have hardly won.

Although there are civil rebellions everywhere now, the Yuan court is still powerful, as long as the Yuan court is willing to exert force, it is quite easy to quickly mobilize more than 100,000 troops in one direction.

Liu Zhengfeng was speechless for a while, knowing that the military situation of a large number of Yuan Cavalry had a great impact on everyone, after thinking for a while, he made up his mind and said: "Everyone, the appearance of these Yuan Cavalry is indeed a trouble, I mean to immediately gather the existing cavalry teams of each army, form a brigade, use them intensively, and deal with the Yuan Cavalry, what do you think?" ”

The leaders of the various families understood the principle of centralized use, and the situation was urgent, and it was indeed necessary, so they agreed one after another, and Liu Zhengfeng ordered one of his lieutenants, Yan Hu, to temporarily serve as a cavalry captain of the cavalry team.

"Our department has concentrated on the war horse to train a cavalry team, after more than ten days of training, has been initially familiar with each other, and my infantry has also been drilled, the cavalry is more tacit between the horsemen, with the strength of the battle, please Shun Tianwang allow my cavalry to retain the existing establishment, still with my department under my direct command. And because the battlefield is vast, the fighters are fleeting, and I request that our cavalry be given the right to move freely, so that the Yuan army can be well destroyed! Yu Zhilong thought about it and put forward his own opinion. Our cavalry will be found according to the battle situation and cooperate with the whole army in battle. ”

Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Yu Zhilong to say this. The others also stopped talking for the time being to see how Liu Zhengfeng decided.

Liu Zhengfeng and others all knew that Yu Zhilong had made great efforts to organize and train a cavalry team, and for this reason, even his generals had become infantry generals, but after all, it was only about 400 cavalry teams, which was inconspicuous for the entire army of 10,000 people.

Liu Zhengfeng only heard that a cavalry had emerged, and in order to compete with it, it was always good to have more strength, so he had the idea of concentrating the cavalry of the whole army. However, Yu Zhilong's department is the heaviest, and there are many brave generals, which is an important combat force in this battle, and Yu Zhilong's opinion must be treated carefully.

Liu Zhengfeng thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and said: "General Fei's words are reasonable, since this is the case, General Fei's cavalry team is one team and is under the command of General Fei, and the rest of the teams are concentrated into another team, which is temporarily under the command of the Chinese army. ”

Yu Zhilong's heart finally relaxed and took a breath. He was very worried that Liu Zhengfeng would forcibly take away the command of his cavalry, and that he had spent a great deal of effort in organizing and training this cavalry, not to mention, the key was that he had prepared several sets of combat plans in advance on the basis of the cavalry, and the generals had also discussed and practiced several times.

If Liu Zhengfeng insists on unifying the command of the cavalry, Yu Zhilong is also mentally prepared to hand over the command of his cavalry, and at this moment of entering the big war, it is really not appropriate for there to be signs of internal discord.

In the past few days, there have been rumors in private, saying that Yu Zhilong is self-confronted and majestic, has disrespect for King Shuntian, and has a lot of contempt for Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and other generals, and there are even rumors that Yu Zhilong has replaced Liu Zhengfeng.

Wu Side, Ma Rulong, Sun Xing, Qian Zheng and others couldn't help but be angry when they heard it, and they wanted to get to the bottom of it and find the person who spread the rumors.

Yu Zhilong discussed with Zhao Shi, Xie Lin and others, but he didn't know the essentials, and arranged a few tight-tongued and clever subordinates to investigate privately, but there was no result, but he found that most of these rumors suddenly appeared in the past few days, and as for who did it, it is impossible to know for the time being!

Since Yu Zhilong can receive these rumors, presumably Liu Zhengfeng, Liu Qi and other generals can also hear about it, and the war is imminent, but such rumors appear, there is always a sense of conspiracy. But these things can't be clarified to Liu Zhengfeng and others, if you can't catch the mastermind in this kind of thing, the more you explain, the darker it becomes, and the angry Qian Zheng, Wu Side, Ji Xiancheng and others jump to their feet.

After Yu Zhilong discussed with Zhao Shi and Xie Lin, he decided to ignore it for the time being and investigate it carefully after the war.

Today, when he heard that Liu Zhengfeng was going to gather all the cavalry, Yu Zhilong thought that it would be more advantageous for his cavalry to still be commanded by himself, so he directly spoke out against it, but he was also prepared to echo Liu Zhengfeng's idea if he continued to insist on his proposition.

However, Liu Zhengfeng agreed to Yu Zhilong's suggestion out of many considerations.

Although Liu Zhengfeng doesn't like Yu Zhilong's greater independence, and he has heard of these rumors, Yu Zhilong has always shown great respect for himself and executed orders thoroughly, so although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't believe the rumors very much.

Besides, this big war is about to start, and forcing Yu Zhilong to hand over the cavalry will inevitably make the Jing'an army feel guilty. If it affects the operation, it will be a big loss because of a small one.

He knew that Yu Zhilong had already begun to train the infantry and cavalry, but he had never observed it with his own eyes, and he was also the one who led the troops, and he knew that there was a certain tacit understanding between the infantry and cavalry departments, which was extremely beneficial to the battle, and if he rashly withdrew his cavalry, it might not be a good thing for the overall situation, so he finally approved Yu Zhilong's words.

In this way, the cavalry of the rest of the divisions gathered and barely managed to make up more than 700 horses.

The scout continued to introduce the various movements of the Yuan army, and according to the speed of the Yuan army's march, around noon tomorrow, the army should be able to reach the county seat of Linqu. The Meng Righteous Army and the Yuan Cavalry served as the vanguard, and the Yuan Army of the brigade followed up, looking at the commander's banner, it was the Yidu Army that managed the army and Wanhu first. The central army of the Yuan army should be the Yidu Lu Han army and the Tian rebel army. Exactly how it will be reported by the subsequent scouts.

After the little colonel finished speaking, he gave up his hand and stepped aside.

Liu Zhengfeng looked around at the generals and said: "The military situation has changed, there are a lot more Yuan cavalry, and the original plan to destroy its strikers seems to be undesirable, what do you think?" ”

Qin Zhanshan said: "The matter has come to this, our army has no way to retreat, then the whole army will be pulled out and done with them!" ”

"The strength of the enemy and our army is roughly equal, and the Yuan army will always be tired all the way, so take advantage of its unstable foothold to hit it!" Xiahou said.

Yu Zhilong thought for a while, and then said: "Yidu is a flat river so far, there is no danger to defend at all, and there is no dense forest and big river, the Yuan army can be unimpeded, because the road is close, even if you want to cut off its grain route, it is impossible. This time, there is only one way to go head-to-head! ”

Yu Zhilong continued: "A few days ago, our department tried to produce a lot of things, I wanted to deal with the Tartars, and now I want to deal with the Yuan Qi can also get miraculous results, but this thing is best to use it at one time, the Tartars are not fools, and they will definitely be vigilant when they are on the occasion!" ”

Liu Zhengfeng nodded and said: "I take care of this matter, you must keep this matter secret, originally General Fei was just preparing for just in case, but now it seems that the enemy plane is the first!" ”

Qin, Liu, Wan and other generals agreed, and then the generals expressed their opinions, and finally concentrated that there was only one battle, if the enemy in front of them could not be solved as soon as possible, once entangled, I was afraid that the Yuan army in the south would take the opportunity to go north and join the battlefield, and then there would be only defeat and a way to break through!

Liu Zhengfeng saw that the generals had a unified opinion, and finally knocked on the board to fight the enemy in the plain north of the city!

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a small river in the north of the city, which flows into the Mi River, and I think we can do something about it." Yu Zhilong thought about it and suggested.
