Just like the Lingnan scout captain Xin An said, it only took two days for Ji Qingchen's 30,000 cavalry to reach the bank of the Lanshui River.

It was already twilight, and the Blue Water River was surging eastward, and the water was turbulent, and it suddenly slapped on the rocks by the river, and there was a terrifying wave crashing on the shore.

Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao of Dayan, stood on horseback, standing on the riverside, quietly looking at the opposite side. He knew that the mulberry bear on the other side of the river had already made arrangements for him, and was waiting for him to cross the river to fight.

This time, he was not sure of winning against Sang Xiong, because in addition to fighting wits when the two sides clashed, they also had to refer to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. Ji Qingchen, a Lingnan foot soldier, has never despised it, this foot soldier trained in the Lingnan Mountains, as long as they are allowed to participate in the battle, they will definitely shine on the battlefield.

However, Ji Qingchen dared to come to the Lanshui River and dared to use 30,000 elite cavalry to meet the 120,000 army of Sang Xiong, and he had the belief that he would win.

To be honest, it is one thing to be unsure, and it is another to have faith.

Therefore, in the twilight, Ji Qingchen looked a little lonely and lonely when she stood quietly by the river. At this time, there was no one around him, and no one could understand him.

When facing Beirong Jingqi in Yunzhou, he had Bai Xiangcheng by his side, Li Changzheng, Xu Dachun, Meng Li and others. But now these people are fighting on their own battlefields, Bai Xiangcheng and Xu Dachun are in Ningzhou to deal with the Liguo army, Li Changzheng Xizhou defends the Xishu army, and Meng Li waits in the valley for the 100,000 army to block their retreat after stepping into Jinzhou.

Now by his side, in addition to the shadow of the war horse under his crotch, the green dragon horse lance on the saddle is only the saber wolf blade on his waist.

The wind was a bit strong on the riverside, blowing the nearby trees.

Ji Qingchen's cloak on horseback also fluttered in the wind, his long hair was flying, his clothes were fluttering, and he was looking at the world with the momentum on his body. At this time, Ji Qingchen was like a king, leaning over and overlooking the world.

Suddenly, in this fierce wind, Ji Qingchen chanted word by word:

Zhongshan is pale and yellow in wind and rain, and millions of heroes have crossed the river.

The tiger is better than the past, and the world is turned upside down and generous.

It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord.

If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life.

When he chanted this poem, Ji Qingchen already knew what he should do, the collapse of Dayan Mansion was about to be in an instant, expelling the Lingnan Yi tribe, and going north to Ningzhou to defeat the Liguo Iron Cavalry was the most urgent task at the moment, so he could not retreat in this battle, no matter how much sacrifice there would be, he must cross the river.

After chanting this poem, he took a deep breath, slowly pulled out the wolf blade, and flicked the blade for a moment before leaving.

Back in the camp, he summoned the three captains of the Qingfeng Cavalry to the Great Tent and gave the order to cross the river tomorrow.

The previous chief of Qingfeng Riding was Li Changzheng, and the deputy was Hou Xiaotian. Li Changzheng has now gone to Xizhou, and Hou Xiaotian has died in battle under King's Landing. Therefore, Qingfeng has not set up a main general and a deputy general so far, and only three commanders are in charge.

The three captains are named Li You, Mu Zhan and Ji Xuanyuan, their backgrounds are not low, Li You is the grandson of Ji Qingchen's teacher Li Qingyi, Mu Zhan is the eldest son of Ji Qingchen's elder brother Mu Feng, and Ji Xuanyuan is the son of the Ji royal family.

Let these three people each command 10,000 iron cavalry, you can see how strong the ability of the three people is, and how strong the combat effectiveness of these 30,000 cavalry is. Similarly, Ji Qingchen has to face Sang Xiong's 120,000 army, and let these three people fight with him, which shows how determined he is, this is a mortal battle that will be born after death!

"Cross the river tomorrow and fight with the mulberry bear!" Ji Qingchen's military order in the big tent was very simple, and the tone was very fierce, so that the three people standing in front of him were in a daze, this kind of momentum was the first time they felt it in Ji Qingchen, they didn't follow Ji Qingchen for a long time, but as the general of Qingfeng Cavalry, they had many opportunities to follow Ji Qingchen to get close, and until now it was the first time they felt this murderous aura in Ji Qingchen, which was enough to be proud of the world.

"No!" Li You and the three of them were just stunned for a moment, and then returned to the god of return to the gods and bowed down to receive the order.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Ji Qingchen asked.

He is not a domineering commander, as long as the advice of his subordinates is favorable and correct, he will listen. Besides, the relationship between these three people and him is not ordinary, he can't treat them like ordinary generals, he takes the three of them with him, in addition to the three of them being capable and talented as cavalry commanders, he also wants to train the three people. After all, the teacher and the senior brother handed over their heirs to him, in order for him to cultivate a generation of generals, and Ji Xuanyuan is always a disciple, and talents have always withered in the past few decades, and he cultivated Ji Xuanyuan for the sake of the Great Yan Ji clan. As the saying goes, the seven great families of Dayan and the Ji family govern together, if the Ji family's talents wither, they will have to rely entirely on the seven great families in the future, and sooner or later the seven great families will replace them.

"Uncle Wang, our whereabouts have already been exposed, and it is estimated that we have been detected by the mulberry bear, we have crossed the river bravely, will we be intercepted and killed by the mulberry bear when we are just halfway crossed?" Ji Xuanyuan asked.

There are many such battles in history, because there was a column that led to the destruction of the country by King Lu who did not attack the soldiers of Bandu. Therefore, on the battlefield now, the battle of the ferry is the focus and focus of a major war. In this case, Ji Xuanyuan had to consider this aspect.

"Yes!" Ji Qingchen nodded slightly, then moved his gaze to Li You and Mu Zhan and asked, "Do you think so too?" ”

Li You and Mu Zhan nodded slightly and said, "Yes." ”

"Yes! Not bad! You can think of this, and it seems that you are not carried away by the atmosphere before the war. Ji Qingchen admired the performance of the three of them, with an army of 30,000 against an army of 120,000, which in itself put a lot of pressure on the soldiers on his side, and the pressure on the generals was even greater, but in this case, the three of them could still remain calm and calm, which really made him quite appreciative.

"How far do we want to cross the Blue Water River to Pingmapo?" Ji Qingchen asked.

"About sixty miles." Li You replied. "Half a day for cavalry, a day for infantry."

"Yes, Li You is right, that's why Mulberry Bear won't hit us halfway." Ji Qingchen said confidently. Seeing that the three of them were a little confused, he continued to ask, "Have you ever understood the terrain of Pingmapo?" ”

"The terrain of Pingmapo is dominated by hills, and the roads are rugged, which is not suitable for cavalry to carry out large-scale charges, and it is the only place we need to watch out for when we go north to Yiyang." Mu Zhan replied.

Speaking of Pingmapo, his brows were a little wrinkled, he had studied the terrain of Pingmapo with Li You and Ji Xuanyuan, it was indeed not suitable for cavalry to charge, if Sang Xiong planted an ambush in Pingmapo to fight them, it was estimated that 30,000 people would be buried in this place. Because the cavalry's combat effectiveness is mainly concentrated in the maneuver and shock aspects, if these two advantages are lost, the cavalry and infantry will only be slaughtered.

"Pingmapo is not suitable for cavalry to charge, but suitable for infantry to surround and kill cavalry, and in Sang Xiong's eyes, he will not fail to see this. Therefore, instead of intercepting our half-crossing troops at the Lanshui River and only destroying half of our strength, it is better to set up an ambush at Pingmapo and wipe us out. This is the real purpose of the mulberry bear. Ji Qingchen's eyes were shining, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, "So he won't set up an ambush in the Lanshui River to prevent us from crossing the river, and we can rest on the bank of the Lanshui River after we cross the river." Our real battlefield is in Pingmapo. ”

"And our scouts have detected the movements of the two armies sent by Mulberry Bear, and they seem to be lurking near Pingmapo." Ji Qingchen continued.

"Uncle Wang, since we know that the Mulberry Bear is in ambush in Pingmapo, why do we have to go to Pingmapo? Isn't this the initiative to get into the trap of the mulberry bear? Li You asked.

Since Ji Qingchen was named the king of Dayan by Ji Wen, their titles have all changed, whether it is the children of the clan or the sons of close friends, they have begun to call him Uncle Wang.

"This time we took the initiative to appear, our purpose is the mulberry bear, since the mulberry bear has already set up an ambush waiting for us in Pingmapo, why should we be cowering?" Ji Qingchen was full of pride, and his tone was even more domineering, "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, this is the essence of cavalry warfare." ”

Li You and the three of them were all awe-struck when they heard Ji Qingchen say this.

In fact, they don't know that Ji Qingchen asked this question in the past, because the current Ji Qingchen has a high status and power, and he doesn't need to charge into battle anymore, so he will be low-key and calm. In the past, Ji Qingchen was also a figure who advocated force and was good at taking risks.

"Moreover, Sang Xiong knows that there are 130,000 troops around the king, but this time we only have 30,000 iron horsemen to fight into Pingmapo, which will make Sang Xiong suspicious, thinking that we are trying to pretend to confuse and lure him to send troops on all fronts, and then surround and annihilate him. Therefore, it will make Mulberry bear worry and dare not use all his strength to kill us, so he will give us the opportunity to kill him. Ji Qingchen said in a calm tone, "The soldier is treacherous! Even more so with cavalry—"

After listening to Ji Qingchen's argument, Li You and the three of them suddenly had an epiphany, and they all thanked Ji Qingchen with a happy face. Because they knew that this was Uncle Wang deliberately using the tactics of this battle to teach them the essence of cavalry warfare, how to maximize the use of cavalry to achieve great results.

"Go down! Recharge your energy tonight and cross the river tomorrow to fight the mulberry bear! Ji Qingchen waved his hand.

"No!" Li was ordered by the three of them, bowed down and withdrew from the big tent.

Also in the camp of the Lingnan Yi tribe in Pingmapo, Sang Xiong in the commander's tent was discussing the military situation with the generals.

"Has Lan Yu and Duan Hu's army arrived at the intended location?" Sang Xiong asked Scout Captain Xin An.

"This morning we have arrived at the intended place to ambush." Xin An replied succinctly, very similar to his style of acting.

"Ji Qingchen's army has arrived on the bank of the Lanshui River, tomorrow's ferry, and we will be able to reach Pingmapo in the afternoon, we have taken advantage of the time, place and people in this battle, and we must not make any mistakes." Sang Xiong's eyes stared sharply at the faces of the generals in the big tent and said fiercely.

In fact, even after occupying the right time, place and people, he was still very nervous in the face of Ji Qingchen, the shadow of the famous tree, because Ji Qingchen's reputation was too prominent, and his military exploits were too brilliant, so he couldn't help but be nervous.

"Yes." The generals received the order, and they withdrew from the big tent in turn.

After everyone left, he took a deep breath and stabilized his mind, Sang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flashed, his body exuded a strong battle intent, and his deep eyes glanced at the south bank of the Lanshui River where Ji Qingchen's army was located.

He will win this battle, there is no reason, no if!
