The New Year is approaching, and on this festive day of family reunion, the clouds of war are hanging over the hearts of the people in the southwest of Jumei County.

On December 20 of the second year of the Great Controversy, Zhang Wenhuan, a general under the command of Kong Youde, led an army of 50,000 to fight without declaring a war, and sent troops from Shimen Town to raid the Yangwu Army.

After taking several towns on the northwest border, Zhang Wenhuan's army did not stop and marched non-stop towards the hinterland of Jumei County.

Liangkou Town is located in the east of Nanling Town and the west of Xiping Town, just in the middle of the plain area in the northwest of Jumei County.

On the avenue a few miles away from Liangkou Town, countless soldiers of Zhang Wenhuan's army formed a long line and marched forward on the land, and a large number of scouts and heralds continued to run back and forth in the columns of the large army and the anniversary.

"Report! General, the cavalry of the Yangwu Army was found three miles away from Liangkou Town! ”

The war horse galloped, and a scout rushed to Zhang Wenhuan's side and reported loudly to him.

"How many people are on the other side? Who are the leading generals? ”

Zhang Wenhuan's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, and he asked calmly.

Kong Youde has coveted the Yangwu army on the other side of the river for a long time, and has long been coveted for its developed commerce and trade and the sophisticated equipment of the army. Therefore, the infiltration of the Yangwu Army has been going on continuously.

Before the war was launched, all the information about the Yangwu Army had been collected in the hands of Zhang Wenhuan.

According to their spies, although Sima Yu of Beishan took almost all the Yangwu army with him, he still had a large number of city guards and Jinyi guards left in the local territory.

Although these people are only second-echelon soldiers under the command of General Yangwu's mansion, they are still well-trained and well-equipped, and what they lack is only actual combat experience.

The entire territory under the rule of General Yangwu has a total of more than 100,000 horses, and if it encounters an attack from a foreign enemy, it can gather a large army to support various places in a very short time.

Therefore, Zhang Wenhuan was not surprised at all by the cavalry of the Yangwu Army that appeared outside Liangkou Town, but the number of support troops and the generals who led the troops needed to be paid attention to.

"General Hui, the other party has a total of nearly 10,000 cavalry, and the generals who lead the troops are two young generals, and we haven't collected the information of the two before!" The Scout Rider replied quickly and respectfully.

"Tens of thousands of cavalry? The war potential of this Yangwu army is really extraordinary, and the order is passed down, and all the scout battalions are dispatched to immediately investigate the information within ten miles of the anniversary of Liangkou Town, and the army marches in formation. Ordered Zhou Chao and Xu Tan to immediately lead the rear army to catch up, and the army immediately formed a formation, so as not to give the other party a chance! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wenhuan slowly ordered.

"Whoa!"

The military order was quickly handed down, and the originally relatively scattered large army columns quickly moved closer to the Chinese army, forming a tight formation and heading towards Liangkou Town.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

"Driving~"

"Captain Hu, Zhang Wenhuanjun has already discovered the army of He Batyun and He Batsheng, and is rushing to the direction of Liangkou Town in formation! The lord has an order, and orders the captain of the school to lead the troops immediately! ”

In a mountain forest seven miles away on the north side of Liangkou Town, dense black-armored cavalry were scattered in the mountain forest, and at the foot of a slope, a messenger cavalry quickly came to Hu Luguang in front of the team, and said loudly.

"Good! I'm tired of you going back and telling the lord, Hu Luguang is determined to take Shimen Town for the lord! Let's go! ”

Hu Luguang's expression was shocked when he heard this, and he immediately arched his hand loudly to the messenger horse, and after speaking, he waved his horse whip and jumped out of the mountains and forests to the west, and 20,000 Xianbei cavalry in black armor followed closely behind him, like a black torrent surging towards the distance.

"Come on, come on, everyone who enters the city has to charge, no one has 50 yuan at a time, and they can only enter the city by paying the money!"

At the city gate of Baiping Town, a team of soldiers held spears in front of the city gate, looking at the people who had entered the city with fierce expressions on their faces, and Zhang Tao, the captain of the city guard team in front of the team, sat on a chair on the side, while watching his subordinates collect money, while shouting at the people queuing behind him from time to time.

Because Zhang Wenhuan's army came too suddenly, although the original city guards of Baiping Town resisted hard, they could not stop the pace of tens of thousands of enemy troops, and tens of thousands of Zhang Wenhuan's troops broke into the city without any damage to the city defense of Baiping Town.

Soon after the end of the battle, Zhang Wenhuan continued to lead the army to leave the surrounding area, while Zhang Tao, the captain of the army, was left in Baiping Town, responsible for guarding Baiping Town.

Originally, there were still a lot of whispers in Zhang Tao's heart for being left behind, but after seeing the wealth of the people under the rule of General Yangwu's mansion, this little bit of whispers had already been left behind by him, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

However, in two days, Zhang Tao and dozens of his subordinates had already received hundreds of taels of silver by setting up checkpoints at the city gate to collect city fees.

This was unimaginable for them before, and the thought of their other military comrades risking their lives in the front was only more than ten taels of silver for a year, while they earned enough salaries for several years in the rear.

Seeing the long queue outside the city gate, Zhang Tao's heart couldn't help but be secretly happy, it was another good day to harvest.

"Drive! Emergency military intelligence! Get out of the way! ”

Just when Zhang Tao's heart was as comfortable as eating honey, a scout rode quickly from the road in front of the city gate, ignoring the long queue in front of the gate, and ran rampantly in the direction of the city.

"Quick! Get out of the way! ”

Zhang Tao was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly stood up and ordered the people to evacuate the crowd.

Zhang Wenhuan has always been very strict in governing the army, and if he delayed the military situation because he collected money in front of the door, I am afraid that his head will be lost.

Out of the way, the scout quickly headed in the direction of the castle guard.

"Bell, bell!"

After a while, fierce alarm bells sounded on the towers of the entire Baiping Town, and the teams of soldiers guarding the city at the city gates on three sides quickly commanded the men to drive away the people and close the city gates.

"Boom~"

Soon, there was a rumbling sound in the distance in the light trembling of the earth, and 20,000 black-armored cavalry came in the direction of Baiping Town like a dark cloud.

"This, this, how could the cavalry of the Yangwu Army appear here?"

On the tower of the city, looking at the dense cavalry group outside the city, which could not be seen at a glance, the Baiping town guard chattered his teeth, and his eyes were full of despair.

At this time, there were only 1,000 defenders in Baiping Town, and the cavalry on the opposite side was at least tens of thousands.

Under the desperate gaze of a group of Kong Youde defenders, Hu Luguang, who was wearing an armored prancing horse, led 20,000 Xianbei cavalry without stopping, and countless Baiping towns in front of him continued to go west of Baiping Town directly against the galloping road outside the city wall of Baiping Town.

"Not good! Their goal is Shimen Town! ”

On the city tower, looking at the black cavalry group that was gradually moving away, the guard of Baiping Town suddenly let out a miserable scream.
