From them, Wu Mingche seemed to smell the blood of his dead soldiers, and their miserable shouts seemed to sound in his ears again.

For this black-armored cavalry, Wu Mingche can be said to hate it to the core.

They sat down, all tall horses from the steppe, running fast and enduring. These cavalrymen are well-trained and battle-hardened, and they are not far behind the brave and warlike soldiers and horses of the Six Towns when they started their careers. In particular, they also possess long-range, incredibly lethal and sharp repeaters and bows.

These cavalry, which seem to have been trained by Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, came and went without a trace, and made Chen *jun suffer a lot.

Chen Guo was originally preparing to break through from Huaizhou to the north, break through from the eastern coastal areas, and take Huaizhou first and then Renzhou. However, outside Yangping City, Huang Fayan returned with a crushing defeat, disrupting Chen's entire offensive plan.

Wu Mingche sent troops to attack Huaizhou, but Huaizhou, which was guarded by two famous generals, Gao Changgong and Wang Lin, was as solid as an iron wall. More than 20,000 soldiers fell outside Xuyi City, and the culprits of all this were these black-armored cavalry.

Although these cavalry only had 2,000 men, they were extremely strong, and even the cavalry trained by Wu Mingche himself was very inferior to them. For some reason, they are extremely well-informed and fast.

When Wu Mingche besieged Xuyi, if it weren't for Huang Fa's previous experience, Wu Mingche's time to mobilize grain and grass would have been greatly shortened, and the number of soldiers escorting grain and grass had greatly increased. But even so, Wu Mingche's grain route was often disturbed. Although it was not completely destroyed, it greatly slowed down their pace, invisibly put pressure on Chen's army, and hit their morale.

Wu Mingche had no choice but to send a large army to conduct a carpet search, but he did not even touch a corner of the enemy's clothes, but instead worked his own troops, spending countless money and food.

Gao Changgong once led 500 cavalry to dare to rush straight into the camp of 100,000 Zhou* troops, he was obviously not a brave person. Offense is the best defense, and only by grasping the initiative and controlling the rhythm of the war in your hands will you achieve the final victory.

In Huaizhou, not counting the original nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, there are 20,000 soldiers recruited by Xingmingli alone, plus those strong men who have been sheltered in the name of Tuntian, there are nearly 50,000 people, a total of 80,000 people, and less than 100,000 troops against Wu Mingche, as the defender of the city, it is not small. What's more, these people are not the old soldiers that Wu Mingche imagined, and they are vulnerable.

Although he has not been in Xuyi for a long time, he has a lot of invisible forces in Xuyi. Speaking of more than 1,000 craftsmen recruited by Qiaojiang through his partner Ye Jin, under the leadership of Lu Ping, they not only produced furniture in large quantities, but also earned a lot of money and food for happiness. It is also because of the advanced production process of assembly line operation, countless sharp city defense equipment in the era of cold weapons have been made by them, such as improved catapults, large bed crossbows, etc.

There are not only elite cavalry raids, but also brave soldiers defending the city, coupled with sharp equipment and wise general command, all of this added up to directly cause Wu Mingche to stop in Xuyi, and had to throw down the corpses of 20,000 soldiers and point the troops to Yangzhou Shouyang City.

The quality of the soldiers of Shouyang City is really as weak as Wu Mingche imagined, if it weren't for Wang Lin's high reputation, his people do have some ability, and they have been working hard to support it, Shouyang City is afraid that it would have been broken a long time ago.

Seeing that after two months of hard work, he was about to reap the fruits of victory, and these cavalrymen who hated him to the bone and had big heads like a fight reappeared.

When the enemy meets, he is very red-eyed.

"Beat the drums, meet the enemy, kill!" Wu Mingche was furious, his eyes widened with anger, and his eyes flashed with scarlet light. He drew his saber and raised it high, shining in the firelight, revealing a thick murderous aura.

The adjutant general was stunned, and the best way for the light infantry to face the light cavalry was to form a formation, rely on the cover, and defend and counterattack. It was night, and although the torches lit up the whole camp, it was not as good as daytime, and it was inevitable that people would feel panic in their hearts, and the assembly of troops would not be as swift as daytime. Although the 50,000 Chen* army has a chance of winning more than eighty percent against 2,000 cavalry, how can it break through Shouyang and continue to recover the lost territory if the losses are too great?

But military orders are like mountains, and they must not be disobeyed. The adjutant general did not dare to disobey the military order, and after being stunned for a while, he carefully conveyed the order.

Tens of thousands of Chen's troops gathered, armed with weapons, braved the cold weather, and rushed towards the black-armored cavalry.

The black-armored cavalry continued to strike at the enemy with their superiority, first with feathered arrows from longbows, then with short crossbow arrows, and after a few rounds, the vanguard of Chen*'s army, dressed only in cloth and leather armor, poured a large piece like a wheat harvest. Countless terrible screams were connected together, waking up the sleeping people of Shouyang City.

Two thousand cavalry, lined up in the most conducive to the advance of the front and arrow formation, under the leadership of the still unabandoned, fiercely smashed into the camp of Chen's army. The snow-bright scimitar, under the light of the firelight, flashed with a cold and bevelous light. Under the vigorous swing of the knights, they crossed beautiful arcs and brought up pieces of blood.

When the black-armored cavalry rushed from the outside to the inside, the gate of Shouyang City suddenly opened, and the 10,000-foot army rushed out, forming a flanking attack inside and outside.

Wu Mingche really hated these cavalrymen so much that he forgot to pay attention to his back for a while, which directly led to the result of this war that made him extremely painful.

When the shouting of the Qi army came from behind him, Wu Mingche suddenly woke up from his anger, and while scolding himself, he revised the order in time and divided his troops to fight against the Qi army behind him, and finally won the victory.

This fierce battle lasted only half an hour, and ended with the Qi army of Shouyang City abandoning 8,000 people and Chen *'s army losing 10,000 people. Chen Guo smashed the attack camp of Qi State, which was considered a victory, but Wu Mingche did not feel the joy of victory. The cavalry, which he hated to the core, ran away again, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Because he was afraid that Shouyang City would break through the city, Wu Mingche had to focus mainly on his back, because of his negligence, which led to the final outcome of this war.

Wu Mingche didn't know that among the two thousand Qi troops who left with the two thousand cavalry led by Shang Buqi, there was one person he missed very much, and that was Wang Lin.

Wang Lin didn't play the flag, just wore ordinary armor, wrapped in ordinary soldiers, and after breaking through the blockade of Chen's army, he headed towards the north of Shouyang, where it was Pi Jinghe's camp.

Pi Jinghe is a fat man, white and chubby, in his thirties, with small eyes, thick lips, and two mustaches, which is very black and bright.

Wu Mingche was too fierce, and in just a few months, he hit the banks of the Huai River, and the general Wei Pohu was beaten to the point that the whole army was wiped out, and the poor eldest grandson Hongluo went to see the ancestors.

Although the emperor asked me to help Wang Lin, but compared to Shouyang, it is still a small life, life is so wonderful, I still have to enjoy good wine, food and beauties, the big deal is to be reprimanded at that time, and as long as you have money, Sangui will help you do everything, of course, the premise is not to rebel, not to get along with them. What you do will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected. Pi Jinghe thought so, so he stopped, and every time he asked the scouts to pay close attention to Chen *jun's movements, once Chen *jun arrived, he would run away.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Pi Jinghe was sleeping groggily with a pillow, and in his dream he was fighting with his newly married concubine, with crystal saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth. Suddenly, a terrible and frightened voice sounded, waking Pi Jinghe up.

Pi Jinghe was full of excitement, only to feel a burst of urine attack, as if something was flying out of his body. However, he didn't care about the comfort of his body, jumped off the military bed, didn't care about putting on boots and clothes, ran barefoot outside the battalion commander, and asked loudly: "Is Chen *jun coming?" How many? ”

"Report to the general, the enemy is about four or five thousand, and there are nearly two thousand cavalry among them!" The adjutant general hurriedly replied.

"After ordering Sun Fu to lead 50,000 people, the others will retreat with me! Prepare the horses, hurry! Pi Jinghe shouted in panic, and the cold ground sent a chill into his heart, making him tremble all over his body, and his fear became more and more terrifying.

The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, but Pi Jinghe slapped him in the face, "What are you doing in a daze, do you want to disobey?" ”

The pain on his face made the adjutant general forget what was in his mouth and hurriedly went down to give the order. The soldiers had also brought Pi Jinghe's war horse, he took it, quickly turned over and got on the horse, but he fell down twice because of nervousness and panic before sitting on the horse.

Pi Jinghe did not form a team, so he rode his horse and ran towards the north, and along the way, the Qi army that blocked the road was either whipped by him with a horse whip or greeted with a steel knife.

"General, the person who came is your own person, not Chen *jun." As soon as Pi Jinghe ran more than 200 meters, a general came to report.

"What? Own! Pi Jinghe grabbed the reins of the horse, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became angry and roared: "What are you panicking about? Fake military orders, damn it! ”

As he spoke, the steel knife in Pi Jinghe's hand had already slashed on the general's shoulder, and in his surprised eyes, his body was split in half diagonally, and the warm Yin Hong's blood sprayed Pi Jinghe's head and face.
