In the Monan steppe, the white horse general Gongsun Zhan led a group of white horse servants to engage a group of Mongolian cavalry, and the result was a great defeat.

A Mongol general armed with a horned bow pierced through Yang in a hundred steps, and the Mongol cavalry was divided into two cavalry armies, the left and right, trying to surround Gongsun Zhan.

"Whew, Whew......"

Gongsun Chan hugged his injured shoulder, panting, and there were only hundreds of Bai Ma Yicong left beside him.

The Mongol Empire was far from being comparable to the Wuhuan tribe, and its cavalry tactics reached the pinnacle of the Cold Weapon Age.

"General, the Mongol cavalry is forming a siege, and we may be captured!"

Bai Ma Yicong pays attention to righteousness and follows Gongsun Zan to the death.

Gongsun Zhan looked left and right, and the Mongolian cavalry galloped, and sure enough, it was forming an encirclement.

If this continues, once the Mongolian cavalry forms an encirclement, then Gongsun Zhan, a group of hundreds of white horse righteous cavalry, will be in a catastrophe.

His righteous brother, Prince Yan, had already reminded Gongsun Chan more than once about the horror of the Mongol cavalry, but Gongsun Chan did not care, and when he found a herd of wild horses, he clashed with a team of Mongol cavalry in order to compete for horses.

As a result, a military general of the Mongol Empire defeated it.

The two sides are not opponents of the same level.

However, only Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Righteous Servant can escape after defeat.

"This group of cavalry, it seems that the speed is ......"

Gongsun Chan discovered the horror of the Mongol cavalry from the left and right, and their speed was even faster.

Speed may not play an obvious role in the Central Plains, but in the prairie, speed can often play a decisive role.

The Mongol cavalry generals who defeated and pursued Gongsun Zhan bent their bows like a full moon and shot the Baima Yicong cavalry one after another.

One by one, the white horse died under his bow and arrows.

After all, Gongsun Chan had some ability, which made this Mongolian general a little wary. As long as Gongsun Chan is captured or killed, then the power of the Monan lords can be weakened.

"Capture them alive and serve our empire!"

The Mongolian generals urged the Mongolian cavalry who were detouring left and right, unwilling to let go of the white horse general Gongsun Zhan!

The two cavalry chased each other on the steppe of Monan, and rode and fired at each other, and cavalry continued to fall from their horses.

As a sixth-order light cavalry, Bai Ma Yicong is not inferior to ordinary Mongolian cavalry, or even stronger than ordinary Mongolian cavalry, but Gongsun Zhan's bonus is not as high as the bonus of the commander of the Mongolian Empire.

Gongsun Zhan is in the Monan Lord Alliance, and he is considered a general, but he is not a handsome talent.

The two sides chased for thirty miles, and Gongsun Chan and the remnants of Bai Ma Yicong were about to be caught up by the other party.

Suddenly, on the southern horizon, a cavalry appeared, led by a general wearing a bronze mask, a cape, and a long knife in his right hand.

This cavalry had about 3,000 horsemen, Gongsun Chan had hundreds of white horse followers, and the Mongolian generals who pursued Gongsun Chan were only more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalry.

"Stop!"

The Mongol general stretched out his hand to stop the advance of the Mongol cavalry and looked at the approaching Han cavalry.

In the rear of Gongsun Zhan's reinforcements, I don't know how many cavalry there are.

Out of prudence, the Mongol generals were still on the sidelines.

"Good brother, thanks to your rescue this time, otherwise I would have almost been captured by the Mongolian cavalry!"

The blood-drenched Gongsun Chan couldn't help but shout for luck for the rest of his life.

Prince Yan frowned.

Gongsun Chan did not heed his advice and sent troops to engage the cavalry of the Mongol Empire without authorization, resulting in the loss of Bai Ma Yi from this new force.

The Mongol Empire relied on Mobei and could not feed so many people, so it sent people to Monan, the Western Regions, and Siberia.

The Mongol cavalry of Monan was a time bomb, and no one in the lord of Monan dared to go up and detonate it.

The lords of Mo Nan are waiting for the lords of the Central Plains to divide the victory, otherwise, the Mongol Empire will be detonated in advance by Gongsun Zhan, who sent troops without authorization, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of the torrent of the Mongol cavalry moving south quickly, the division of troops was interspersed with detours, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and Prince Yan's scalp was numb.

Fortunately, it seems that the other side is not ready for a full-scale war, so there has been no movement for a long time.

"I didn't expect this group of cavalry from Mobei to have some ability."

Gongsun Chan also knew that he was reckless and ashamed of his brother-in-law.

Di Qing, who was wearing a mask, followed by Prince Yan, his fierce eyes glared at the Mongolian generals opposite, and the big sword was ready to step forward to fight him at any time.

The Mongol generals on the opposite side can destroy Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, and they will not be ordinary generals, and they are likely to be one of the top commanders of the Mongol Empire.

Prince Yan also noticed the Mongol generals who had defeated Gongsun Zhan, and shouted to him: "You should be the supreme commander of the Mongol Empire in Monan, one of the four mastiffs, 'Arrow of Mongolia', Jebe." ”

The Mongol generals did not answer, acquiescing to this fact.

"This guy is a royal commander......"

Prince Yan was reluctant to be an enemy of Jebe.

Jebe and Subutai, both of whom were one of the four fierce dogs under Genghis Khan Temujin, were also the main generals of the Mongol expedition.

Jebe joined forces with Subutai and almost swept through Central Asia, West Asia, and Eastern Europe.

According to Temujin, the four mastiffs crushed rocks, broke cliffs, and traversed deep waters.

Temujin had apparently laid out the layout, with Subutai and Muhuali in the Tien Shan and Jebe in Monan for the time being.

For every big tribe, there is a royal commander to guard it.

If it is Wei Qing and Huo Quai, they can still challenge, and Gongsun Zan goes to attack Jebe, with the strength of the two million Mongol tribes that the Mongol Empire has entered Monan, then it is to send them to death.

Those who do not know will be fearless.

It was precisely because Prince Yan knew that he repeatedly reminded Gongsun Zhan not to fight with the Mongolian cavalry easily.

Prince Yan's palms were sweating, and he didn't know if Gongsun Zhan's attack on Jebe failed this time, and whether he would provoke the Battle of Mo Nan in advance.

It's better not to.

Prince Yan was still waiting for the opportunity to start the war in advance, and the Monan Lord Alliance had no chance of winning.

Jebe also did not seem to be ready for war with the Han Empire, leading more than a thousand Mongol cavalry and slowly retreating backwards.

Prince Yan and Gongsun Zhan joined forces with more than 3,000 troops, and they did not dare to come forward to catch up.

Luring the enemy deeper, this is the usual tactic of the Mongol cavalry. stepped forward to chase and kill, and nine times out of ten there would be an ambush.

Even the Roman legions were taught a hard lesson by the tactics of the Mongol cavalry, losing an eagle banner, and Crassus, one of the Big Four, was dragged away by the Mongol cavalry, and even the withdrawal from the national war was interrupted.

Be cautious, this is the surest tactic against the Mongol Empire at its peak.

After Zhebei left, Prince Yan and Gongsun Zhan returned to Monan Dragon City.

Gongsun Zhan experienced a fiasco, and he did not dare to underestimate Prince Yan's warning: "What the righteous brother said is very true, next time, if there is no permission from the righteous brother, the younger brother will no longer fight with the Mongolian cavalry." ”

Prince Yan nodded.

Since Gongsun Chan was defeated, it would be useless to blame him at this time.

In Monan Dragon City, there were several uninvited guests coming, Hu Ma, Li Mu, Zhao Hao, Zhao Kuo, Lin Xiangru and other generals temporarily lived in Dragon City to strengthen the defensive force of Monan.

The princes of the Han Empire had sensed that the Mongol Empire was about to move.

It is often easier to push from the north to the south than from the south to the north.

In addition to Hu Ma and his generals, there were also two generals sent here by Chu Tian, Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao.

When Prince Yan came back, he said to Wei Qing: "Brother Yi lost the battle with the Mongolian cavalry, and there are only four hundred of the three thousand white horse righteous servants, so the troops that can be borrowed from you are less white horse righteous servants." ”

Wei Qing didn't care: "Just lend me 50,000 cavalry." ”

"Yes."

Prince Yan negotiated with Liu Hu, the true lord of Monan, and Liu Hu lent 50,000 Monan light cavalry.

50,000 light cavalry is already the limit that Liu Hu can come up with.

Although Prince Yan was not Wei Qing's lord, he reminded as an ally of Chu Tian: "The Mongolian Imperial cavalry is becoming more and more of a threat to Mo Nan, and if you borrow 50,000 cavalry, Mo Nan's defensive strength will be weakened by one point." Therefore, the 50,000 cavalry must be returned as soon as possible. I will send out false information to make the Mongol Empire think that these 50,000 cavalry are still in Dragon City. ”

"Yes."

"Do you need me to lend you one or two generals?"

Huma took the initiative to ask Wei Qing for a loan.

"No need, I'll just do it with Gongsun Ao. Li Mu and Zhao Hao stayed behind to defend the Mongol Empire. ”

Wei Qing was very indifferent.

Zhao Kuo, a young general who followed behind Zhao Hao, said: "With me alone, the Mongol Empire will not dare to go south!" ”

Zhao Hao's face changed: "Kuo'er, don't speak wildly, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated." ”

"Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, and the matter of Mo Nan has bothered you."

Wei Qing glanced at Zhao Kuo more, then turned over and got on his horse, and led 50,000 cavalry with Gongsun Ao out of Monan Dragon City and killed in the direction of Youzhou.

This time, Wei Qing was going to sneak attack Zhao Long and Liu Bei's Youzhou from the rear.

"I haven't been back to Youzhou for quite some time. If it weren't for the threat of the Mongol cavalry, I would have wanted to participate in this operation. ”

Prince Yan and Di Qing stayed in Monan Dragon City.

As the remnants of Huma's forces gathered in Monan Dragon City, Monan Dragon City became the center of Monan and a bridgehead against the Mongol Empire.

There must be generals to defend here, and there will be many generals.

Liu Hu said: "I hope Chu Zimou will pacify Hebei soon, I have an ominous premonition." ”

"Not bad......"

Prince Yan saw the gloom in the sky of Mobei, and it seemed that a big storm was brewing.

Fan Zhongyan's robe sounded with the wind hunting: "The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings......"

In the direction of Liaodong City, Li Chengliang and Jin Wushu were marching towards Youzhou Zhishu, but the Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning delayed their trip.

A rebellion broke out among the Wuhuan tribes.

Li Chengliang ruthlessly used the Guanning Iron Cavalry to suppress the Wuhuan tribe.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry wielded a three-eyed fire gun, hammered and killed the rebellious Wuhuan cavalry, killing thousands of people, which made the Wuhuan tribe settle down a little.

The rebellious Wuhuan leader's eyes were red, and he did not fall until he was slashed by the golden vulture with an axe.

"What's going on?"

Li Chengliang gathered more than a dozen subjugated Wuhuan chieftains.

Liaodong Taishou Mingguan has been operating in Liaodong and Liaoxi for several years, and has long been afraid of the Wuhuan tribe, and often meets the fierce generals of Chun and Li Chengliang, which are not the existence that the Wuhuan cavalry can resist.

And now, the Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning dared to betray Mingguan.

The surrendered Wuhuan leaders trembled: "We don't know what happened, this man and his tribe are like crazy, attacking the nearby tribes, even us. ”

Li Chengliang's brows tightened.

One of the Wuhuan tribes suddenly went crazy, which is not a good sign.

If it weren't for Li Chengliang and Jin Wushu who happened to pass through this place, then the rebellion of the Wuhuan tribe might spread.

Rebellion is like the plague, and the unwitting will join the rebellion out of fear.

"You will send more hostages to Liaodong City, and you must not betray them."

After Li Chengliang suppressed the rebellion, he did not pay attention to the small-scale rebellion that occurred in the Wuhuan tribe.

His goal was to capture Youzhou and suppress the Wuhuan tribe halfway, but he just did it easily.

"General, this group of rebellious Wuhuan cavalry seems to be much more elite than when they fought with them before."

Guan Ning Tieqi reported to Li Chengliang what was wrong.

"Maybe it's because they're usually training, so they're sharpened. We have already been delayed in western Liaoning for some time, and we must get to Youzhou as soon as possible. ”

Li Chengliang still focused on Youzhou and marched to Youzhou.

……

Jizhou, the pass of Taihang Mountain, the North China Plain outside Fukou, the 200,000 troops of the Central Plains set up a formation here, and confronted the army of Zhao Long who arrived from Bingzhou.

The two sides gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they were mighty.

Zhao Long was dressed in battle robes, and had just experienced the Battle of Jingkang, and before he could rest, he immediately went south to support Yecheng and joined Yang Su.

Chu Zimou was really confident, and instead of capturing Yecheng as soon as possible, he used Yecheng as a bait to surround the point and send reinforcements. It's just that he has the ability to help. ”

Zhao Long led the generals to set up the formation.

The 200,000 troops in the Central Plains are relatively elite, while Zhao Long's 400,000 coalition forces have a home advantage, including the Black Mountain Army and the surrendered soldiers, and the victory is in a large number.

The 200,000-strong army of the Central Plains was on the defensive.

Yang Su said: "They must have expected that we would pass through the Taihang Mountains, and it would be difficult for grain to turnover, so they had to take the initiative to attack, so they deployed defenses here to delay time." ”

"That's true......"

Zhao Long also has a dilemma.

Although the 400,000 allied troops are outnumbered, they are extremely dependent on grain and grass.

In the summer, Zhao Long's supply line was extremely long, and he would have to launch an attack on the 200,000 Central Plains army.

Sometimes, the role of the attacker and the defender is related to the situation faced by both sides.

"Treat the army and prepare to attack!"

Zhao Long took advantage of the fact that his morale was sharp and there was no shortage of food and grass, so he was in a hurry to attack and had to attack.

On the opposite side, Cao Cao and Zhou Yafu served as deputy marshals, commanding soldiers and horses to resist Zhao Long, with sweat on their foreheads.

There is no shortage of emperor-level commanders on Zhao Long's side, as well as a group of fierce generals who charge into battle.

"This battle is related to the belonging ...... of the north"

Cao Cao has not yet commanded so many troops, and the pressure he bears can be imagined.

Xia Liang deployed the Shenji Battalion: "The Shenji Battalion, stand by at any time, deal with Zhao Long's heavy cavalry." ”

The 400,000 allied troops launched an attack on the 200,000 Central Plains Army, and the momentum was so great that there was no end in sight......

Only the North China Plain outside Fukou can accommodate such a large number of troops.

Tai Shici, Hua Xiong, the Four Tigers of the Northern Army and other military generals were deployed in Zhangshui, and they belonged to the establishment of the Guards Legion.

However, Tai Shici and the others could not be the opponents of Liu Bei's forces, so they could only wait anxiously for Chutian to arrive.

Mi Fang paced uneasily: "Liu Beijun has already gone south, why hasn't the lord arrived yet?" ”
