The evacuation of the people of Mount Tai is proceeding in an orderly manner, according to the calculation of time, Zhang Bao's vanguard is likely to have entered the grassland, and his last batch of military dependents should also land at the mouth of the Qinghe River, and now in a large number of transfers, are ordinary Yellow Turban people, they will be scattered to all parts of Youzhou, mainly in Liaodong and Liaoxi, Youbeiping area.

Xu Shu's military deployment was basically completed, and the cavalry of Zhao Zhao and Xu Huang began to familiarize themselves with the terrain on this front of nearly 1,000 miles from north to south, and carried out combat readiness patrols.

Combat readiness patrols are divided into battalions, according to the military system of Youzhou, a battalion of 2,000 cavalry, and four teams of scouts, a total of 2,200 people, four battalions form an army, Xu Huang's troops have two armies, left and right, plus his own personal guard battalion of 2,000 cavalry, as well as a scout battalion, a staff guard, combined, Xu Huang's army is a total of more than 22,000 people.

Xu Huang himself will not stay in Xintai City honestly, according to military regulations, during the combat readiness patrol, half of the troops need to be used as reserves, therefore, there are a total of five battalions operating outside, including Xu Huang's own personal guard battalion, as for the scout battalion, it has been dispersed to infiltrate in the direction of Taishan County and Lu County, and Donghai County is the territory of recruitment.

Xu Huang's goal today is near Mengyin City, which is Cao Cao's closest city to Xintai, and it is also Xu Huang's most important defensive direction, militarily speaking. The strategic points are the same for both sides, Xu Huang stares at Mengyin, and Cao Cao also attaches great importance to Mengyin. Xiahoudun's headquarters and heavy troops were placed in Mengyin City.

According to Cao Cao's instructions, the main goal of Xiahoudun's troops was defense, not only to defend against the Youzhou army in the east, but also to defend against the Yanliang army in the north, and the pressure was also very great.

However, Xiahoudun was not very worried about Yan Liang in the north, after all, Yan Liang still had to face the pressure from Chengyang and Rencheng, as well as the problem of Han Sui in Dongping County. These are all threats that Yan Liang can't ignore, so the chance of Yan Liang daring to go south is very small, and Xiahoudun naturally focuses his defense on the Youzhou army.

For the Youzhou Army. Xiahoudun is very cautious, and in the record of Gain's battle with the Youzhou Army, the best result was a draw, most of the time. It was the Youzhou army that had the upper hand. Although the Youzhou Army in Xintai City in front of him is the Yellow Turban Army that has just been reorganized, the latest news shows that a cavalry has entered Xintai City, although this cavalry general named Xu Huang is not well-known, but he can become an independent army, and it is certainly not easy to match.

Xintai City is more than two hundred miles away from Mengyin, and in such a large space, Xiahoudun must not turn a blind eye. only retreated in the passive defense of Mengyin City, so Xiahoudun took advantage of the fact that Xu Shu in Mount Tai was busy withdrawing the people and deploying the army. Try to build some forts to the east.

And this point is absolutely not allowed by Xu Shu, Xu Huang is now coming for these fortresses, the scale of the fortress cannot be large, and there are a lot of alien activities in it, Xu Huang received the order is to eliminate all the aliens in the Cao army camp who are operating outside, as well as all the Cao army, if possible, destroy the Cao army's fortress and block the Cao army in Mengyin City.

Xu Huang confirmed the location of his other cavalry battalions, and then swept from north to south twenty miles away from Mengyin City, destroying all the Inhuman troops and Cao Jun troops that could be seen.

Either you go out of the city and fight for control of the outside of the city, or I will completely occupy the activity space outside the city and use the method of increasing your cost of maintaining the fortress to trap your fortresses about forty miles away from Mengyin.

Xu Huang's action was very bold, the fortress built by Xiahoudun was not just a few on the periphery, but a string, Xu Huang sometimes basically swept outside the fortress of the Cao army, and even chased the Inhuman troops under the fortress, however, Xu Huang never attacked the fortress of the Cao army.

"General, Xu Huang's troops are resting near Jiuxi Village, thirty miles east of Mengyin, the number of troops is indeed about two thousand, and in the northeast about eighty miles, there is also a cavalry of about two thousand in the activity, there seem to be signs of southward, there is a cavalry of about two thousand in the southeast, twenty miles away from the dry forest village, is moving north, and may also sneak attack the dry forest village, and no enemy troops have been found in other aspects."

Xiahoudun marked the latest status of the several troops just now on the map, and then connected the direction of the activities of these troops with lines, and extended them according to the current direction, these troops will arrive at the bluestone fortress due east one after another, Mo Fei, Xu Huang is ready to gather forces to pull out this fortress.

The terrain of the bluestone fortress is still good, and the defense ability of the cavalry is also very good, but on the other hand, the bluestone fortress is too easy to be surrounded by the cavalry dynamically, if it falls into a state of no logistics, the bluestone fortress can support about ten days at most.

Xu Huang is forcing himself to rescue, if he doesn't go to the rescue, Qingshi Mountain will definitely not be protected.

Xiahoudun smashed a punch on the map, the cavalry of the Youzhou army is really annoying, this kind of fortress battle was originally the best way to deal with the cavalry, but the attack and harassment of the Youzhou cavalry made the cost of the fortress war rise sharply, when the outermost fortress was divided, he had to drive these cavalry, but when his large army retreated, these cavalry would come back, tossing back and forth, not to mention, if he was attacked by a surprise attack on the way or harassed by his own troops, there was always a loss back and forth, This made Xiahoudun's maintenance cost higher.

Later generations of military experts argued for thousands of years, and finally found that the only way to fight cavalry is cavalry, otherwise, you can only ignore the cavalry and directly destroy the enemy's lair, otherwise, it will be difficult to solve the threat of cavalry by any means.

"Order the cavalry to prepare for the sortie, and the heavy infantry and crossbowmen to assemble."

"No1

"General, Cao's army is out of the city1

Xu Huang's lieutenant general was called Ye Hong, who was transferred from Li Yuanzhi's troops. It is precisely in order to strengthen Xu Huang's mountain combat ability that this young general's potential is still very good.

"Oh, it's finally out. Quantity and composition? ”

Xu Huang rubbed his hands excitedly and asked.

"There are more than 20,000 cavalry, and 20,000 infantry, which are advancing eastward, and they should be heading towards Qingshi Mountain."

"Towards Bluestone Mountain? So he guessed our intentions, and he deserves to be a general.1

"It seems that yes, but he may have other ideas with such fanfare1

"You mean. Will they withdraw the outer forts and keep only some of the closer ones? ”

"Well, according to the calculations of the General Staff. The most appropriate thing for Xiahoudun was to maintain the fortress within twenty miles, which was the least costly. ”

"You can also rely on these fortresses to lure our army to attack and disturb, and then find an opportunity to annihilate our army, right?"

"Yes. If it is within twenty miles. They can form a battlefield scout, which is very bad for us, but they don't seem to know that our scouts are equipped with dragon flies, hehe. ”

"Who would have thought of this, and even if you know it, it will be difficult to defend, so it is not easy to block the battlefield, but if you have a high-level military advisor to cooperate. Maybe it can be done. ”

"Perhaps, this needs to be discussed in the next step. I still don't know what Xiahoudun has in mind1

"Let's go up and let the fourth and sixth battalions move closer to me, ready to entangle Xiahoudun and see how his cavalry is1

"Looking at the structure of this troop, I'm afraid he won't fight a cavalry battle with us."

Xu Huang's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "He doesn't fight, I'll fight." ”

"General, the enemy army is coming, it's Xu Huang's 2,000 cavalry, do you want to surround him with cavalry?"

"Together? As soon as you go out, he will run away, and a small number may not be able to defeat him, and a large number will consume the physical strength of the cavalry, and our goal is not to annihilate the enemy army, but to bring back the troops on the periphery, and not to make any extraneous branches. ”

"No1

"Order the infantry to stay in formation, and the cavalry to the front and rear flanks, so that the enemy does not come near and ignore it.1

"No1

Xu Huang maintained the speed of his horse and slowly approached the Cao army from the side, Xu Huang, who was born as a horse thief, had a very good way to deal with this kind of defense, not to mention, the Youzhou Assault Cavalry itself had a range advantage.

"Prepare, a dragonfly attack in a moment, the target is the crossbowmen in the formation, and if the enemy's front cavalry turns back, we will make a sharp turn and leave, and we will not fall in love.1

"No1

"Heavy crossbow winding, acceleration, sortie 1

"Kill! ~”

Xu Huang's troops rumbled and ran, although there were only two thousand, but the momentum was just as amazing.

Xu Huang was very cunning and used the flying shooting skill to throw heavy crossbow arrows at Xiahoudun's team from behind the side along the direction of Xiahoudun's troops, this angle was very uncomfortable to defend with a shield, and they had to stop and turn around to defend, but when they turned around and raised the big shield, Xu Huang's troops had already reached a parallel position, and the follow-up crossbow arrow advantage was shot from the side, and the shield soldiers who did not rotate in time must have been unlucky, and the crossbowmen covered behind their big shields were also unlucky.

Xiahoudun's front cavalry really chased after him, but Xu Huang slipped away with a sharp turn very easily, and the cavalry chased a little, but he didn't dare to chase far, and saw that he couldn't catch up, so he had to retreat.

Xiahoudun counted a little, his side suffered nearly 100 casualties in one round of attacks, and the opponent only had 2,000 cavalry, and nearly 100 people were shot in one round of attacks, which showed that the opponent's level was also seventh-order, and Xiahoudun's expression became even more solemn.

"Order the rear cavalry to attack, and drive the enemy beyond the attack distance, and not chase far."

"No1

With Xiahoudun's order, more than 10,000 cavalry in the rear team were divided into two teams and chased towards Xu Huang, Xu Huang fled unhurriedly, while constantly firing back, although the effect was not very good, but it was more or less lethal, Xiahoudun's cavalry chased and chased, and suddenly found himself following Xu Huang's ass and running to the left side of his infantry, and this position obviously allowed Xu Huang to attack the infantry again!

Xiahoudun was also very speechless, in terms of cavalry speed and tactics, the cavalry on his side obviously suffered. To be continued...
