When Li Yu led 3,000 cavalry to disappear into the heavy snow, Yuncheng, two hundred miles away from Jiyin, Pinglu Jiedu made Li Shigu not idle.

Since Emperor Taishang led the army eastward, and the wealthy families in the entire Kanto region chose to cooperate with Emperor Taishang instead of resisting, Li Shigu's mood has not been good after three shocks, and even this Yuncheng has been shrouded in haze.

After a few handwritten letters were completed, seeing the messenger disappear into the heavy snow, the Jiedu envoy finally smiled, and the entire Yuncheng and even the entire Pinglu army breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is now in wartime, in the face of the request of Jiedu to make a feast, no one in the entire Yuncheng dares to object.

Emperor Taishang's forbidden army was hundreds of miles away, and there was a complete defense line built by tens of thousands of troops, which could not threaten Yuncheng no matter what.

Anyway, now that it's snowing heavily, I don't think there will be any important military affairs.

So in the heavy snow, in the mansion of the Yuncheng Festival Envoy, a warbler sang and danced, the beauty entered the curtain, the spring was infinite, and even this Yuncheng fell into a peaceful atmosphere.

Since the afternoon, Li Shigu, who has been emotionally suppressed for many days, first indulged in binge drinking, and then under the stimulation of the wine, Li Shigu's back house that had been silent for many days was full of fire.

Later, after releasing his depression, Li Shigu fell asleep under the left and right hugs.

In his dream, he dreamed that the Emperor's 40,000 forbidden troops fell into a trap and were wiped out.

In the dream, he dreamed that the army he led pacified Hebei, took Jiangnan, and attacked the city of Chang'an.

In the dream, he swept through Mobei, leveled Tibet, and conquered the world......

Li Shigu fell asleep soundly in his dreams, but not everyone was so comfortable, and some people who were interested in his skull were braving the snow to make their way.

It sounds like a lot of pride, but when you actually go out on the expedition, you know how difficult it is to gallop in the snow.

Although before the expedition, Liu Yuxi had already equipped the 3,000 cavalry with double warm clothing, but under the invasion of low temperature, cold wind, and heavy snow, it was only half an hour from the camp to set off, and the vast majority of the cavalry had been directly frozen.

On the other hand, the goose-feather-like snow did affect the cavalry's vision, and the whistling north wind made the cavalry even more miserable.

However, the violent snowstorm reduced the number of pedestrians, and also served as a cover for the galloping cavalry, so that they did not have to deliberately hide their whereabouts.

As the time progressed, the howling north wind stopped from near noon.

Although the wind brought by the gallop of the horses was still not small, as the temperature slowly rose, the temperature felt by the cavalry was already in an acceptable range, so there was no non-combat attrition that Li Yu was most worried about, at least at this time, it had not happened.

In addition, in half a day, the snow was not deep, and two hours after setting off from the Jiyin camp, the cavalry in the raid threw out a super high speed, and in less than three hours, they broke through for seventy miles.

Arrived in the predetermined area a full hour earlier than expected, and joined up with the scout team that had been waiting here to meet them.

When the scouts determined that the patrol of the Pinglu Army had returned to the camp early due to the cold, under the guidance of the elite scouts and under the cover of the goose-feather snow, the 3,000 cavalry quietly bypassed the two camps set up by the Pinglu Army between the two county towns of Lihu and Chengshi.

Li Shigu's defensive line, which he thought was impregnable, was directly broken through without anyone knowing, and 3,000 cavalry smoothly entered Li Shigu's old nest Yunzhou from the territory of Caozhou.

As for the full 3,000 cavalry, the hoof marks brought by 6,000 war horses, it is no longer important.

After crossing the defense line of the Pinglu Army, because of the transfer of troops, the troops of Yunzhou were extremely empty, coupled with the heavy snowfall, the small number of patrols who were not enough to protect themselves from the cold clothes no longer carried out routine inspections.

Coupled with the scouts who had already been ready to respond along the way, Yunzhou at this time was equivalent to no longer defending at all in Li Yu's eyes, and there were only two enemies in front of Li Yu, heavy snow, temperature, and distance.

At this time, Li Yu's headquarters was still one hundred and forty miles away from Yunzhou.

After crossing the border between Caozhou and Yunzhou, after the scouts had selected a forest in advance, and after a short rest, the cavalry ate a few bites of flatbread and jerky in the snow, and at the same time began to feed each of the two war horses they carried.

After a quarter of an hour of repair, a little recovery of physical strength and experience, under the guidance of the cavalry, Li Yu's troops continued to move forward, and in the wind and snow, Li Yu's troops forced to march forty miles again.

At this time, what appeared in front of them was the largest camp of the Pinglu Army in Yunzhou, west of Leize County, Yunzhou, a huge military camp that could accommodate a full fifteen thousand people.

This battalion has more than 10,000 elite troops stationed in Pinglu all year round, which can be regarded as a hole card in Li Shigu's hand.

However, according to the scouts, this battalion of 10,000 elites, which should be stationed, is only worth more than 1,000 today.

As for the rest of the soldiers and horses, two days earlier, under the orders of Li Shigu, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, they had drawn their camp from here and marched to the southwest.

The whole 10,000 horses were evenly distributed to guard Lihu and Chengshi respectively, thus constituting the defense line that stretched from Puzhou to the southeast, through Caozhou, and to Yanzhou Zoucheng.

According to the original plan, according to the principle of reducing the probability of being discovered, Li Yu should have led the raiding cavalry to quietly bypass this large camp and continue to advance eastward.

But it should have been completely dark when I had planned to get here, and it was only dusk now, and I wanted to pass through the camp in such darkness without being spotted unless the more than a thousand people in the camp were all blind.

Otherwise, they would have to travel at least twenty miles more in the snow, or three thousand cavalry would wait in the snow until it was completely dark.

As the sky grew dark, the environment was no longer friendly to the raiding cavalry, the temperature in the field began to drop dramatically, the north wind began to blow, the snow began to deepen, and it became difficult to continue walking.

In fact, from entering Yunzhou to here, in just two hours, because of the cold and exhaustion, six people have fallen from their horses and died, and more than a dozen war horses slipped and died violently.

The war horse can be replaced, but at this moment, there is no way for people to replenish it.

Considering that the temperature would drop further after the sky became completely dark, it would be a great torture for the tired cavalry to go around in such a difficult environment, let alone twenty miles, or even ten miles.

As for waiting in the ice and snow until it was completely dark, Li Yu himself didn't dare to say how many people would be able to stand up.

Sitting on his horse and looking around at the thousands of cavalry behind him, Li Yu thought for a moment.

In front of him was just an unsuspecting camp of less than 2,000 people, and instead of taking a detour or waiting in the ice and snow to avoid it, Li Yu felt that it was better to fight it directly.

Although the personnel, materials, intelligence, and reconnaissance have been done to the extreme, the actual environment during the march is also worse than expected.

It is not a bad thing to lay down the large camp in front of you, give the cavalry a safe environment, let the tired cavalry rest and adjust their state.

Considering that the temperature will drop further after dark, with the current state of the forced march all the way, it may be possible to arrive at the scheduled time, but it is difficult to say how many people will be left in Yuncheng when the time comes.

Immediately, Li Yu waved his hand and ordered.

"The first battalion and the second battalion of the cavalry of the Changying Army, no need to put on armor, go with me, the target is the main gate, but if there is resistance, there will be no mercy!"
