Late at night on the tenth day of the lunar month, the third watch.

Around the huge dock fort of the Lu family in Fanyang, dozens of miles are the continuous camps of the clan alliance.

The entire coalition army camp has more than 200,000 temporarily armed Shi soldiers, and these more than 200,000 soldiers and horses come from thousands of Shi clans in the four northern counties of Hebei near Yuyang, Hebei.

Tens of thousands of horses, small landlords, and only a few dozen small landlords also ran over to join the coalition army. The more than 200,000 coalition troops gathered here were all nominally led by Lu Che, the head of the Lu family.

Lu Che proclaimed himself the king of Yan, and most of his cronies and children of the three clans of the Lu clan were crowned princes and princes.

In fact, the people who came to vote were also very generous and made wishes, and basically everyone got a reward.

For these 200,000 coalition troops, it is basically still a tribal system, and whoever brings the soldiers and horses will be under the command, and then more than 200,000 people will be divided into the front and rear left and right middle five armies, led by the five largest family heads, among which Lu Che himself leads the Chinese army composed of Lu clan's children.

Nominally, the coalition forces are under each other's control, but in reality they are still in charge of each other. More than 200,000 horses and horses went down to the village outside Lujiawu Fort, some came first and some arrived later, and they were stationed wherever they liked. One in the east, one in the west, 200,000 horses, but the camp stretched for more than 20 miles.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, it is undulating, and there are camp tents everywhere.

The camp was only a trough tent, and if it wasn't for the snow, they wouldn't have bothered to set up the tent.

I barely set up a tent, and as for what fence, what ditch, what antlers, what kind of thing is that, do you need it? With these more than 200,000 coalition troops here, even if the imperial court soldiers and horses come, one person can spit on them, and they can be drowned.

In the evening, after the lively wine and meat were eaten, more than 200,000 allied troops returned to their own tents and scattered all over the plain. By the time of the third watch, most of the people had already fallen asleep in this cold wax moon with the intention of drinking.

The heavy snow was still falling outside, but the soldiers on duty slept with peace of mind. How could the soldiers and horses of the imperial court march overnight on such a snowy day?

I don't know when, in the snow a few miles east of the coalition camp, countless moving white shadows appeared.

With the help of the moonlight, these white shadows kept moving forward and made a slight creaking sound, until they stopped two miles before the camp was gone.

Lujiawu Fort is a large castle, stronger and taller than the general county town, they form a dock wall with the surrounding houses on all sides, and then connect them with one by one dock forts to form a layer of layers like a zigzag, there are enough as many as eight layers of large dock fort array.

In the middle of the dock-walled hut at each corner was a tall tower dedicated to the enemy.

The creaking sound of the snow from time to time made the captain of the easternmost tower suspicious, and he looked carefully at the snow to the east. Although there was no moon on a snowy day, the Lu family had already lit piles of bonfires in all directions of Lujiabao before dark, and those firewoods were enough to burn the bonfires all night, so that they could stand on the tower in the fort and see the vicinity of the castle clearly.

He searched carefully for a long time with a few family members, but in the light of the fire, he saw nothing but a vast white snow.

"Zhang Tou, I think it must be the wind on this snowy day, something mō coming, and I can see it clearly immediately. But look at this white piece, how can there be anything. Don't look at it, come over and take two more sips, the higher this station is, the colder the fuck is. If you don't take a few sips, you won't be able to change shifts at dawn. He looked at it carefully, but saw nothing, and then turned back and crouched down, allowing most of his body to hide in the low wall of the watchtower. …,

To the east of the coalition camp, if you can see the scene from that head, you will be surprised.

At this time, countless people and horses have gathered here, and these people and horses, regardless of whether they are people or war horses, everyone has a big white sè cloak, and the white cloak is draped, as long as you are careful, the whole person is hidden in it. On this vast snowy night, as long as you didn't see it closely, you wouldn't have noticed that such a large army had reached the two places in the coalition camp.

"Marshal, all the brothers who broke the barracks have arrived, and the five thousand heavy cavalry are waiting for the marshal's orders at any time."

In the snow, a young general who also had a large number of white sès winds stepped on the snow and stood in front of Li Benlei, the general of Jin Wuwei, and saluted.

Li Benlei had agreed with Chen Kefu before that he would quit the front line and no longer go to the battlefield, originally wanting to leave some opportunities for his grandchildren. After all, if he leads the troops outside, then the three grandchildren are unlikely to have too many opportunities. Since then, he has been staying in the capital, although he also holds several important positions.

But they don't actually take charge of the army. Even the soldiers and horses of the inner army Jin Wuwei, he is only in name, and the real commanders are all those generals and commanders.

This time there was a civil strife in Hebei, and most of the generals in the imperial court were already on the battlefields in Huaibei, Shandong, southern Tongbei and Hedong, or they were stationed at various key passes and the rear of Liaodong. In a hurry, in order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, the imperial court had to divide its troops in a short period of time.

Li Benlei was also invited by Chen Kefu to go out of the mountain again, and rushed to Linyu Pass with light cavalry, and mobilized a large army to exterminate the rebellious army in Yuyang and other counties. This time, in order to completely exterminate these rebels, he transferred 50,000 troops from Linyu and Liaodong.

Among them, there are the ace troops of the Liaodong Army guarding the Xiongzhong Pass in Linyu, the heavy cavalry battalion of the broken army battalion with the most honorable battalion number of the Liaodong Army, and a super large battalion of 5,000 people.

Now this ace heavy cavalry force that all the generals of the Liaodong Army want to command is under the command of Zhang He, the veteran general of the Liaodong Army. Zhang He was one of the first fifteen Yue cavalry captains when Chen Kefu first broke the barracks. Later, he was once the top-level officer of the Liaodong Army and was always one of the commanders of the seven main forces.

However, when Chen Kefu was preparing to oppose the imperial court, he hesitated. Because of this hesitation, he was just an idle general for a long time, and he lost his original position and honor. It was not until in the ambush battle with Shibi Khan that he used 3,000 light cavalry against Shibi Khan's 70,000 wolf cavalry, but he achieved a huge record of destroying more than 10,000 enemies and suffering small casualties, and gradually returned to the front-line position of the Liaodong Army.

After a few performances, let Hua not long ago be summoned by Chen Kefu, after some reminiscence, the veteran of the Liaodong Army, who was one year younger than Chen Kefu, was finally reused, served as the general of Linyu Pass, and concurrently served as the commander of the heavy cavalry battalion of the Liaodong Army.

Li Benlei looked at this comrade who fought side by side with him in Liaodong back then, and saw his current jī feelings flying, and he was also happy for him.

"General Zhang, the Lu clan's Yuyang clan coalition has gathered more than 200,000 men. But as you can see, they're just a flock of birds, and they're even far worse than some of the peasant armies. However, we can't underestimate the enemy, and this time I've been given the task of not just defeating them, but completely annihilating their captives.

It is absolutely forbidden for any fish to escape to other places and harm Hebei. When I came, I had already patted Xiōng in front of His Highness and assured me that this time His Highness trusted me so much and asked me to be responsible for suppressing the rebellion in Yuyang, I am deeply honored. ”

"In the same way, I trust you so much that I now give you a task. After an attack, the commander will use your 5,000 heavy cavalry as a sharp arrow, and must break through the coalition camp before they can react. Twenty miles of the camp, as long as you lead the crowd to kill from east to west, you will complete the task. The rest is the task of our light cavalry and foot soldiers, how is it, is there any difficulty? ”…,

Facing Li Benlei, the second-in-command who broke the barracks back then, Zhang He was not dissatisfied.

Raising his fist and striking a few times on the xiōng breast, Zhang He said firmly, "The last general will never lose the honor of the broken military camp founded by His Royal Highness, and the last general will guarantee to complete the task." ”

"Okay, you go back and let the broken military camp re-mount the armor, as long as the armor is good, start attacking immediately."

"Yes"

Zhang He returned to the snow field where the barracks was broken and conveyed the latest sortie mission to his subordinates, so the generals and colonels were all full of jī on their faces.

When the heavy cavalry conquered Liao, they repeatedly established miraculous feats, repeatedly attacked the mountain cavalry of the Liao people, and established countless feats for them in Liaodong. Later, the Liaodong Army was expanded, and the heavy cavalry battalions were split and subordinated to various units composed of battalions of 2 to 300 people. Only about 1,000 elite heavy cavalry of the broken barracks remained, and although they increased later, their combat power decreased.

It was not until Liaodong was stabilized that Chen Pojun once again ordered to expand and form a heavy cavalry force of 5,000 men separately after keeping the establishment of those small battalions of heavy cavalry unchanged. Moreover, this heavy cavalry was awarded the most honorable banner of the Liaodong Army.

In addition to the 1,000 elite veterans, the remaining 4,000 were also formed by drawing the most elite cavalry from the entire Liaodong Army. The rebuilt Broken Barracks has been training all the time, and all the knights have the lowest rank of second lieutenant, which is the trump card of an all-officer ace.

Since the reorganization, they have not been on the battlefield, and these elite knights who have been transferred to the Liaodong Army to train desperately for so long have long been unable to hold back. As soon as he heard that he could go to battle, Jī almost roared.

The Greedy Wolf Battalion, an auxiliary battalion that came with the broken barracks, is an auxiliary force that specializes in helping to transport the armor of the broken barracks, as well as helping the soldiers of the broken barracks to put on the armor before the war, and remove the armor after the war, and even when necessary, they will ride with the battalion to attack.

This is the only auxiliary battalion in the entire Liaodong Army that has obtained a battalion number so far, although they are auxiliary soldiers, they are not ordinary old and weak. Rather, it was the same cavalry, even stronger than the average light cavalry, and these men were called auxiliaries, and in fact the first candidates for the heavy cavalry battalion. Their real identity is the light cavalry greedy wolf battalion, but these strong cavalrymen have always regarded themselves as auxiliaries of the broken barracks, and they follow each other in order to join the heavy cavalry battalion.

The 3,000-strong greedy wolf battalion immediately unloaded their armor and cavalry equipment from the sleds one by one, and began to assemble armor for the heavy cavalry and war horses of the broken barracks.

The north wind called, and the heavy cavalry of the broken barracks was on the armor!。
