"Pedal Pedal ~"

In the hazy night, a team of thousands of men marched through the gallop outside Baiping Town, the front of the army was composed of sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, the middle was constantly cruising scout cavalry and archers, and the rear was the baggage logistics troops.

The roads beneath their feet were all wide gallops paved with bluestone slabs, and the sound of dense and crisp footsteps could be heard on the roads as the army marched.

As one of the first three counties under Sima Yu's command, in more than a year, the paving of the road network has been basically completed in Jumei County, and the bluestone slab road with a width of nearly 20 meters connects the towns, providing a solid foundation for the prosperity of commerce and trade in the territory.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

In the middle of the army, the leading generals frowned, riding on their horses and moving silently forward.

"My lord, news has just come from the front line that Shimen Town has fallen!"

As soon as he rode a fast horse and galloped in front of him, the panting scout on the war horse didn't have time to take a breath, so he hurriedly reported to Qu Cheng.

"Fallen so quickly! How many men did the other side dispatch? ”

Qu Cheng's body shook slightly when he heard this, the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, and he hurriedly asked after muttering a low sentence.

"Our brothers only saw thousands of steppe cavalry attacking the city, and an unknown number of naval troops fighting together!" Scout said.

"Trolls? Not good! Qu Cheng's expression changed drastically

After receiving the news of the crossing of the grassland cavalry this afternoon, Qu Chengcheng, who stayed in Nanling Town, had a bad premonition, and the goal of the Yangwu Army was obviously to go to Shimen Town, wanting to cut off the rear road of the army.

After reporting the situation to Zhang Wenhuan, who had already attacked Liangkou Town, Qu Cheng decisively led his 4,500 men and horses to aid Shimen Town overnight after leaving 500 defenders.

However, it was a step too slow to hurry, and when the army was halfway there, the direction of Shimen Town was lit up, and in just over 1 hour, Shimen Town had already fallen, and the attack of the Yangwu army was too sharp.

And the most worrying thing is the emergence of the Yangwu Army's water division, which means the failure of Liu Xuanchu's plan to infiltrate the Yangwu Army, as well as the failure of his own water division to suppress it.

Once this is true, the back of tens of thousands of troops will be completely cut off.

"The army immediately turned around and rushed to Gufeng Town!"

Sensing that the situation was critical, Qu Cheng hurriedly ordered the scouts to bring the news to Zhang Wenhuan, and he prepared to lead the army in the direction of Gufeng Town.

Shimen Town has fallen, and now the only thing in their hands close to the Yangtze River is Gufeng Town, which will be the vitality of tens of thousands of Kong Youde's army, and must be firmly controlled in their hands.

The long column of troops immediately began to turn around, preparing to rush in the direction of Gufeng Town.

Just as the thousands of troops under Qu Cheng's command were busy turning around, a slope hundreds of meters away from them was already covered with dense black-armored cavalry, like steppe wolves about to hunt, their eyes staring at the prey below with a bloodthirsty glow.

Due to the obstruction of vision at night, Qu Cheng and they did not know that danger had befallen them at this time.

"My lord, Lord Hu Chuquan and they have already taken Shimen Town, and the other party seems to have received the news and is preparing to evacuate, do we want to attack?"

In front of the cavalry team, beside Hu Luguang, who was dressed in armor, looked at the thousands of enemy troops below, and a Xianbei thousand cavalry commander asked in a low voice.

"It's that I look down on them, the back road is attacked, and only these 4,000 troops go to support, since they are so slow, then let's eat them little by little!"

Looking at the enemy army below with only more than 4,000 people, the corners of Hu Luguang's mouth pursed.

According to his intelligence, there were only 40,000 troops following Zhang Wenhuan on the front line, and there were still more than 15,000 troops left behind in Nanling, Gufeng and other towns, especially in Miaoxi Town, which borders Li Dingguo's army in the north of Jumei County, and there were as many as 8,000 troops stationed there, just to prevent Li Dingguo's army from coming out and taking advantage of the opportunity.

Hu Luguang originally thought that when Shimen Town was attacked, the garrisons in these places would take action, but he didn't expect that only the Qu Cheng Department of Baiping Town would take action.

However, it doesn't matter, for the defenders of Miaoxi Town, the lord has already made arrangements.

"Choke!"

"Attack!"

Pulling out the long knife at his waist, Hu Luguang gave an order, and the 15,000 Xianbei cavalry finally opened their bloodthirsty mouths and rushed towards the Qu Chengsuo army below.

Thundered~

Dense hooves trampled the ground and rolled forward with a deafening roar. In the hazy night, countless black-armored cavalry densely covered the land.

"Not good! There are cavalry! ”

"Enemy attack! Array! ”

The huge movement instantly alarmed the army of Qu Cheng's subordinates who were turning around below, and the exclamations of soldiers and the hoarse heralds of Qu Cheng's generals resounded in the night sky.

"Quick! Fast! ”

In the panic, hundreds of pikemen were quickly dropped to the middle flank of the group, quickly forming a three-column gun formation, while the sword and shield soldiers were distributed behind and on both sides of the gun formation.

Thundered~

In the tremor of the earth, the faces of these soldiers who were pushed to the front turned pale one by one, and their hands holding spears and broadswords trembled uncontrollably.

In the darkness of the night, they could not see the full picture of the attacking enemy, but the sound of horses' hooves constantly tapping on the ground could strike their hearts, like the sound of a bell that made people shudder.

"Kill!"

In the midst of their panic, a dense group of black-armored cavalry soon appeared in front of them, violently slamming into the weak spear array with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai.

"Ah~"

"Bang~"

The violently running cavalry slammed into the pikemen who were blocking the front, and the huge impact force directly overturned the temporary and gradually weak spear formation, and countless soldiers of the Qucheng Division were directly knocked over by the cavalry torrent, and were trampled into meat sauce under the dense hooves of the horses.

Only a spear formation composed of hundreds of pikemen could not stop the attacking Xianbei cavalry at all, these grassland men who grew up on horseback since childhood, they were already superb in equestrianism, coupled with the high-quality armor provided by the Yangwu Military Treasury, the combat power was overwhelming.

On the grassland, war and death are the norm, and these horseback peoples have been baptized by war since childhood, and every adult steppe man is a qualified warrior.

The 4,500 warriors carefully trained by Qu Cheng, although they have begun to take shape, have never experienced a real battle, and when they encounter this group of suddenly attacking steppe wolves in the night, the end can be imagined.

Terrible screams resounded in the night sky, countless blood and stumps and broken arms flew in the air, the scimitars used by the steppe cavalry kept fluttering, and pieces of Qu Cheng's soldiers fell under the onslaught of the cavalry.

"Kill me!"

The middle of Qu Chengjun, who was making a U-turn, was as weak as a piece of tissue paper, and it would be broken when he stabbed it.

The 15,000 Xianbei cavalry led by Hu Luguang quickly penetrated the middle of it, and then divided into two parts to kill the remnants of the army.

Hu Luguang personally led his troops to kill in the direction of Qu Cheng's general banner, this is a general named by the lord to be captured alive, and Sima Yu also recognizes Qu Cheng's ability.

That night, the sound of killing on the galloping road 8 miles away from Baiping Town shook the sky, blood was sprinkled all over the earth, Qu Cheng's army was ambushed by Hu Luguang, 2,000 people were killed, and the remaining 2,500 people, including Qu Cheng, were all captured.
