When Li Su hurried back to Mayi, the large army had been in action for some time. Li Su paused for a moment, and then continued on his way. After a few hours of marching northward, the army came to the pre-planned foot of the mountain, and there was a river less than ten miles to the east, so that this was an ideal place for the camp to settle down.

When Li Su arrived, he told Feng Xian what I had told him. Feng Xian was somewhat hesitant about this, but after some thought, he decided to do what I said. After all, they have such a small number of troops in their hands, and once they are careless, they will easily be counter-encircled and suppressed. In order to keep the last bit of living force to guard the gateway to the state, he had to disobey a military order.

That night, I found a guest house in the city. I asked her how she knew I was bothered by Lou, after all, I hadn't been in the city for even a day. She said that although the Taiping Dao had fallen, there were still many believers, so it would not be difficult to find me. I think about it, too, the Yellow Turban cultists are spread across the counties of the eight prefectures of Kanto, and their intelligence agencies must be very developed. However, she couldn't help but wonder why I had disappeared for ten years without any news. In this regard, I can only say that I am not the person she is looking for. At this moment, I couldn't help but wonder if the person she was looking for had been sucked into a space-time tunnel, or something else had happened. She didn't care about my answer, but just said that no matter what, she would follow me in the future, life is my person, and death is my ghost. I have to say that the girls of this era are really admirable, as long as they identify a person, they will not let go even if they die.

The next day, the army set out, and the troops were divided into two routes. Feng Xian crossed the river with his troops, and after traveling a few more miles, he did not continue east, but turned north and followed Ding Yuan far behind.

Li Su couldn't help but ask Feng Xian: "Master, if you are the commander of the Huns, how will you fight this battle?" ”

Feng Xian said: "I will send an ambush into the mountains and forests west of the city to lay an ambush, and then send a light cavalry to go around twenty miles from the flat land to the east; As soon as the officers and soldiers came, they could be annihilated in one fell swoop when they were surrounded on three sides. ”

Li Su said: "In this way, isn't the history of Ding Thorn dangerous? ”

Feng Xian sighed: "Alas, it's only to blame Ding Thorn Shi for being too blind and arrogant; The reason why our army was able to win easily last time was because the slaughter of each person underestimated the enemy, but Ding Tingshi mistakenly thought that the other party was a group of stragglers; I'm afraid it's not so simple this time, if Ding Tingshi blindly goes deep alone, he will inevitably fall into the siege of the Xiongnu army. ”

Li Su couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Brother Cheng Lian is still prescient, if it weren't for his guidance, I'm afraid the brothers would be in a catastrophe this time." ”

Feng Xian said: "Well, the virtuous brother is not an ordinary person, and he has always been more far-sighted than others; In fact, this battle may not have the slightest chance of victory, as long as our army can take the lead in capturing the two cities of Juyang and Laoxian in the east, break the opponent's horns, and then fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Xiongnu in the north, it can still be won. ”

Feng Xian and the others traveled dozens of miles to the north, and a scout came to report, saying that Juyang City had divided two groups of men and horses, and they were coming all the way north towards them, with a force of nearly 10,000; Another detour went west, with troops in the thousands.

Feng Xian ordered: "All the soldiers listen to the order and set up a formation to meet the enemy!" ”

"No!" Everyone answered, and quickly set up a circular array.

At this time, Li Su couldn't help asking: "Master, what about the enemy army to the west?" ”

Feng Xian said: "The troops and horses that detoured to the west should be going to attack our army's camp, and there are nearly 3,000 guards in the camp, so don't worry if you have Uncle Zhi." ”

After a while, another scout reported that Ding Yuan's troops were engaged in a battle with the enemy when they suddenly encountered an ambush from the mountains and forests to the west. At this moment, another group of 10,000 light cavalry appeared twenty miles to the east, and also headed towards Ding Yuan's troops.

Such a thing was already expected by Feng Xian, so he didn't have any expression of surprise, but when he saw him, he immediately ordered: "Li Su, order you to lead a thousand people to rush to aid Ding Tingshi, at all costs, you must help Ding Tingshi break through!" ”

"Order!" Li Su took the order and left.

Gradually, the enemy troops galloping from the direction of Juyang appeared in front of them, and in the empty land hundreds of meters away, bursts of smoke were raised. Immediately, Feng Xian gave another order: "Listen to my orders, the cavalry will be on standby, guerrilla attacks the enemy from both flanks, and shoot them with bows and crossbows!" ”

"Order!" The cavalry general led the order and led 500 cavalry to divide into two wings, looking down from the sky, as if two wings were spread, and then each stood by in the designated position.

Then, the enemy army got closer, and saw that the other party put on a goose-shaped formation, trying to surround it. Lu Bu frowned, and then ordered: "The standard-bearer passed on my military order, ordered the cavalry to change tactics, assault the enemy's middle with a fish scale array, and then carry out guerrilla attacks on the enemy's rear after breaking through." ”

"No!" The standard-bearers in the formation immediately raised their flags, only to see the cavalry on both wings quickly change their tactics, gather towards the middle, and then put on a fish-scale formation to stand by.

In just a few breaths, the enemy army "flew" like geese, and when they were only a hundred meters away from the cavalry array, the knights began to attack. Although these five hundred light cavalry were not as well equipped as the heavy cavalry, they were all elite soldiers. They held crossbows in their left hands and guns in their right hands, and when they were close to the enemy dozens of meters, they first fired a round of rapid fire, disrupting the formation of the enemy's middle road. Then, with the strength of his mount's charge, he stabbed with the spear in his hand, only to see that the enemy's inferior armor could not resist the spear made of stainless steel, and he was pierced through his body in one fell swoop. The 500 cavalry broke through the enemy's weak center with such ease, and then they began to attack the enemy's rear with crossbow arrows.

After the enemy's middle lane was broken through, the formation of the left and right flanks looked like a figure of eight at the moment, but they could still form an encirclement of the infantry array. However, it is one thing for the enemy to be able to form an encirclement, but it is another thing for the enemy to be able to win the battle after the encirclement.

The enemy first fired a burst of crossbows, but when they saw the iron arrows shooting on the steel shields, they could not break through the defenses at all. Immediately after the first order, the strong archers in the formation immediately launched an attack. At this time, it was not so lucky to be the enemy, and one round of projectiles caused it to lose two or three hundred people. The infantry on the periphery all held stabbed shields in their hands, piercing their spears through the holes in the shields, and the whole formation looked like a shrunken hedgehog, making it impossible for the enemy cavalry to get close. In this way, under several rounds of archers, the Huns could not take advantage of the slightest, and had no choice but to retreat.

Subsequently, Feng Xian gave another order: "All the soldiers obeyed the order, and the infantry advanced at full speed to rescue Ding Jianshi to break through; The cavalry broke off to prevent the enemy from attacking. ”

"No!" The people did as they were told.

Later, when Feng Xian led the crowd to the battlefield where Ding Yuan fought with the Huns, he found that the whole army was in a bitter battle. So after giving the first order, all the soldiers entered the enemy's ranks.
