In the northern suburbs of Chai Village, in the camp of the official army, the prime minister Lieutenant Chi was listening to the report of the general in the tent, and the enemy troops who had retreated south had now been surrounded by the official cavalry in Chai Village, and Chai Village was only one mile away from Chai Shui, but the other party had no chance to cross the river and continue to go south.

The advantage of cavalry is that it moves quickly, and in the face of the enemy, it is up to them whether to fight or retreat, and a small force of cavalry can calmly attack and disturb the infantry of 100 or even 1,000 people.

And 20,000 cavalry were put into battle, and the enemy, who was mainly infantry, had no chance of winning, and it was difficult to even move.

Wei Chi personally led the troops south, and cast out a large number of cavalry like a net, and dozens of cavalry scouts were scattered in the Xiju and Gwangju areas in countless teams, and the movements in various places were clearly explored.

Based on the news gathered to him from all parties, the enemy army that retreated south after unsuccessfully attacking Song Ping was not a lone army, the other party had reinforcements from the direction of Guangcheng, but it was disturbed by the official cavalry halfway and could not go north, so the enemy army trapped in Chai Village is now a lone army.

According to the information confessed by the tongue caught by the scout, Wei Chi learned that the actual number of this enemy army was probably barely more than 10,000, and excluding the young and strong people who accompanied the army to transport grain and grass, the number of soldiers who could fight was about seven or eight thousand, of which there were probably more than 2,000 cavalry.

The composition of the enemy army is indeed dominated by the Hulin Army, plus some Huangzhou crossbowmen, who are now entrenched in Chai Village, and have arranged Xu Lujiao and repelled horses on the periphery, intending to resist stubbornly.

In the name of it, it is called stubbornly waiting for help.

"Prime Minister, according to the confessions of those prisoners, the dry food carried by the enemy army should last for nearly ten days, as for the water source, there are a few wells in the village, although the water quality is poor, but it can still last for a while."

"I haven't seen anyone in the army claim to be the king of Xiyang, nor have I seen the banner of 'Yuwen'."

"According to the prisoner's confession, before the Hulin Army went north, reinforcements arrived in the south of the mountain, and this time it should be this reinforcement that tried to meet the Hulin Army, with a total of about 7,000 infantry and cavalry."

"Seven thousand..."Wei Chi thought about it, seven thousand plus eight thousand, a total of fifteen thousand soldiers, maybe there will be more soldiers and horses to arrive in Guangcheng in the future, it seems that Yuwen is using Guangcheng as the main attack base, he judged that the other party was going to attack the east and west, and it was really wrong.

But it doesn't matter, now he is going south with 20,000 cavalry, and the other party feints to attack Song Ping and unsuccessfully retreats south to the 8,000 soldiers in Chai Village, don't think about going back, as for the remaining enemy troops, in front of his cavalry, they can only trap Guangcheng.

It doesn't matter if the Yuwen clan has another main force out of Pingyang, Shenzhou in the west, although the official army surrounding the hanging gourd is now dominated by infantry, there are tens of thousands of troops, which is enough to confront the other party.

And his cavalry will return to the reinforcement of the Hanging Gourd, which will not take more than three days.

This is the advantage of cavalry, fast movement, can concentrate forces to destroy the enemy forces that seem to be large but scattered, and the combat effectiveness formed by 20,000 cavalry is stronger than that of 100,000 infantry.

This is also the reason why the southern army's northern expedition has failed repeatedly for more than a hundred years: without enough cavalry, it will not be able to cover the long grain route, and once the grain route is cut off, the soldiers on the front line will be in great confusion, and they will not even be able to withdraw, so they can only fight separately and be divided and surrounded by others, and finally broken by people one by one.

And now, Wei Chi has absolute confidence to make the relatively horseless Yuwen clan army taste the bitterness, and turn the so-called thing attack into a futile joke.

The enemy army trapped in Chai Village was now surrounded by his cavalry, and all he had to do was to annihilate this enemy army immediately, and then annihilate the support troops who left Guangcheng to the north in one fell swoop, and remove the possible threat to Shouchun.

When the time comes, the outer edge will be cut off, and the enemy army trapped in the hanging gourd will be finished sooner or later.

"Are you all ready now?"

"Back to Prime Minister, ready!"

。。。。。。

In the early morning, the north wind was cold, the sand was flying, the sky and the earth were dark, and the people in Chai Village were blinded by the wind and sand, and they could not see the movement of the wind direction at all, and the north of Chai Village was less than 300 steps away, and a large number of soldiers gathered.

The Chinese army set up a barrier to block the wind, and the prime minister's lieutenant Chi Duan sat down at the head and supervised the battle on the spot, while the soldiers who had already been ready began to prepare for the attack.

They piled up countless collected dry grass and dead branches into many hills, and then set them on fire in turn, and with the help of a strong wind, ** soon burned, and seeing that the fire was complete, someone threw the collected horse manure into the fire.

Horse manure that is not dry or wet will produce a very thick smoke when burned, mixed with a foul smell, which is a common tactic of the Northland cavalry, burning horse manure in the upwind direction of the enemy army before the attack, which can smoke the soldiers in the opposing army's formation.

Tens of thousands of cavalry, one person and two horses, will produce a large amount of horse manure every day, which has become the best material for making pungent smoke, the amount is enough, plus the strong north wind, its effect is bound to be more outstanding than in the past.

A large amount of horse dung burned, and the pungent smoke shrouded the downwind of Shibamura, while the soldiers lined up the chariots.

There were hundreds of cars, divided into several columns, as a mobile shield for soldiers approaching Shibamura, at this time it should be sunrise, but the weather is bad, the sky is full of dark clouds, wind and snow, it is still dark.

Hundreds of cavalry came out of the ranks, instigating the horse's tail to gallop back and forth, raising a large amount of dust, and being carried by the north wind to rush downwind to Chai Village, which was hundreds of steps away.

In such an extremely adverse situation against the wind, how did the archers in Shibamura shoot arrows?

In a war, as the commander-in-chief, he most wants to fight a tailwind battle, that is, his own side is in the upwind direction, and the enemy army is in the downwind direction, whether it is a water battle or a land battle, the role of the wind direction cannot be underestimated, and now, he can easily do it.

The army in the upwind direction is leeward, and the archers' eyes will not be fascinated by the wind and sand, and the effective range of the arrows fired will be significantly increased because of the tailwind.

The eyes of the soldiers are fascinated by the wind blowing from the upwind direction, and the effective range of the arrows fired is sharply reduced due to the headwind.

The two armies have fought each other, and there have been countless cases of reversal of victory and defeat due to the reversal of the direction of the wind, and Wei Chi has now surrounded the enemy in a village, although the range of the opponent's temporary camp has long exceeded this small village, but his own forces are numerous, and he can calmly choose the direction of attack.

Even if the southeast wind suddenly blows while fighting, the officers and soldiers can change the direction of the attack and continue to attack in the upper direction, while the other side can only suffer, whether it is arson or splashing quicklime, any means related to the direction of the wind cannot succeed.

Do you still want to win such a headwind battle?

"Prime Minister, the soldiers are ready, please give the order!"

"Very good, beat the drums, blow the horn, and the whole army will attack!"
