The three thousand cavalry, galloping in the wind and snow for a whole day, were already quite tired, but after hearing Li Yu's order, they were like being beaten with chicken blood.

As Li Yu's words fell, he was pointed to the first and second battalions of the Changying Army and jumped out directly, without saying a word, without preparing armor or array, he took off his weapons from under his horse one by one, and followed Li Yu's footsteps and rushed straight to the enemy camp.

A cavalry that had no way to come suddenly came out of the heavy snow, and the few Pinglu sergeants who were unlucky enough to be on duty were instantly stunned.

So, with the camp gate wide open, groups of cavalry swarmed in.

In the case of completely unguarded, the Pinglu army, which was not even neatly dressed and armored in the camp, collapsed almost instantly, except for the first few unlucky ghosts, the remaining Pinglu sergeants saw the moment the cavalry entered the camp, immediately threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

After all, this is a cold and snowy place, and the Pinglu sergeants, who are even fully clothed, have nowhere to run.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 1,000 Pinglu sergeants who remained in the camp were directly disarmed and then imprisoned.

After a whole day of suffering in the wind and snow, sitting in the warm barracks of the Pinglu army, drinking a mouthful of hot broth, eating a bite of naan that became warm as the temperature changed from cold, and nibbling on two bites of jerky, the faces of each cavalry showed a smile of happiness and satisfaction.

Although it was not enough to completely dissipate the exhaustion of the body, the bodies that had been frozen through were slowly recovering, and the hearts of these warriors were comforted.

After a full hour of repairs, the sky had completely darkened, and the camp that originally belonged to the Pinglu army opened the camp gate again.

Leaving three hundred cavalrymen in relatively poor physical condition to guard the prisoners, and the remaining two thousand seven hundred cavalry whose morale had reached its peak again, the follower Li Yu once again embarked on the road to attack Yuncheng.

As soon as I set foot on the rushing road, a biting cold wind hit, and the north wind that had stopped in the afternoon whistled again, and patches of snow flew all over the sky with the cold north wind.

Even more terrifying than the wind and snow is the temperature, which drops to freezing point after dark.

If Li Yu had a thermometer in his hand at this time, Li Yu would have known that the temperature had dropped from minus three or four degrees to more than ten degrees below zero, and ice had formed in some places on the ground.

He didn't have to leave the camp of the Pinglu Army for a quarter of an hour, and Li Yu felt that the big gun on his body had been frozen into a hard lump.

"Sting!"

Under the grinning north wind and the galloping gale, Li Yu's big wind was directly torn apart.

Feeling the biting cold wind, at this moment, Li Yu was extremely glad for his decision.

At this time, the environment was extremely bad, and it was time to compete with the willpower of the soldiers, but Li Yu had greater confidence in the success of the sneak attack.

In this kind of weather, the already lax Yuncheng defenders will definitely be even more lax!

More importantly, Li Yu knew that in the competition of willpower and endurance, Changyingjun had never lost.

The cavalry of the Changying Army in the raid were indeed very bitter and indeed endured suffering, but they were far from the most difficult!

On the journey from Jiyin to Yuncheng, there were hundreds of scouts lurking in the endless darkness, lying in the wind and snow.

Li Yu didn't know how many people would sleep under the ice tonight, but Li Yu knew that it was these people who used their lives to guide themselves and the three thousand cavalry under their command to Yuncheng, a road to victory.

Put away the grief in his heart, put away the grief, in order to ensure success, just set off Li Yu issued a military order, horses can run to death, people as long as they are alive, they must keep moving forward, there is only one goal, Yuncheng!

From the Pinglu army camp ten miles outside Lei Ze City, it is a full hundred miles away from Yuncheng.

After leaving the camp, under the guidance of countless scouts along the way, the remaining more than 2,000 cavalrymen rushed all the way towards Yuncheng on a snowy night when they couldn't see their fingers.

Starting from Xushi, more than 2,000 cavalrymen galloped for more than 90 miles in nearly five hours, and arrived at a small village only about five or six miles away from Yuncheng, where they joined a scout squad outside the village and met Yu Qian, the captain of the reconnaissance battalion who commanded the scouts in Yunzhou.

"What is the situation in Yuncheng now, how many soldiers and horses are there, and is the city well defended?"

"General, Yuncheng originally only had 5,000 garrisons, but two days ago, a group of soldiers and horses from Zizhou and Qingzhou arrived, and these two teams each had 3,000 people, and they set up camps on the sides of the two city gates in the north and south of Yuncheng."

The total number of soldiers and horses in the entire Yuncheng is 11,000, and Li Yu is slightly big, but fortunately, Yu Qian, the captain of the reconnaissance battalion, has a lot of comfort from the next information.

"After the snowfall yesterday, several teams of messengers left Yuncheng, and then Li Shigu set up a big banquet in the Yuncheng mansion, and most of the generals and civil and military forces in the city participated, and most of them were hungovers and did not wake up!"

"And according to the investigation of the inferior rank and others for several days, the previous generation of Pinglu Jiedu made Li Zheng take the opportunity of the rebellion of the Xuanwu Army to invade and occupy Yunzhou, and then took Yuncheng as Zhuosuo, from then to now, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty have not arrived under the city of Yuncheng for more than 30 years, and the Pinglu army thinks that the defense has been perfected, so Yuncheng is unguarded!"

"So what are your plans now?"

"General, the cavalry of the raid can go to the north gate, two squads of scouts are already on standby at the city gate, as long as the army arrives, immediately kill the Pinglu army at the city gate, open the city gate!"

"Isn't there a battalion of 3,000 Pinglu troops stationed outside the North Gate?"

"Yes, General Li, the soldiers and horses of that battalion came from afar, exhausted, and it was snowing heavily, these two soldiers and horses did not carry out inspections, and they all huddled in the camp and have sent people to monitor them, and it is expected that there will be no abnormal movements!"

If it were before, Li Yu would probably not think about it much, but after staying with Guo Rong for a long time, Li Yu is more or less used to thinking more.

"It's so related to the fate of my Datang, how can I hope for the slackness of the enemy army, if we are found to be attacked inside and outside, we will die without a place to be buried!"

Li Yu didn't finish his words, but Yu Qian already understood what he meant.

"General, although tired, but a raid on a camp of 3,000 people outside the city is also likely to attract the attention of the defenders in the city, once the defenders at the head of the city find out that they are on guard, it is very likely to fall short."

Li Yu nodded, he agreed with Yu Qian's words, this is what made him in a dilemma, and after a little contemplation, Li Yu continued to ask.

"How far is the camp in the north of the city from the city gate, and how far is it from the village?"
