Chen Hui looked down at the marching map, glanced back at the tired cavalry, and sighed silently.

It's too hard, it's too hard... The city is offensive and defensive, the cavalry is useless, this time the southern army went north, with more than 20,000 cavalry, Li Jinglong almost all handed over to Chen Hui, at first it was just the Chinese army camp guarding Zhengcunba, and he was free to do some vigilance and support in the periphery, but since the day before yesterday he received the news that King Yan was about to take down Daning, he was sent out by Li Jinglong, with 20,000 cavalry to block Zhu Di.

But what made him laugh and cry was that he didn't get a specific attack location and target, because Li Jinglong, who sent him out, didn't know where Zhu Di was!

However, the order must be carried out after all, so Chen Hui embarked on a long journey with 20,000 cavalry to find people, blocking these roads from Daning to Beiping, but at this time the weather is freezing and snowing, where to stop Zhu Di? Chen Hui had no choice but to take the army around, and when there was no food and grass, he went to the place to collect grain, he didn't know that the hands and feet of the corporal under him were not clean, but... What's the solution?

robbed the people's food, the impact of the people starving to death would not be too great, but if these cavalry behind him couldn't eat, couldn't fight, and couldn't find that Zhu Di let him get close to the Chinese army camp in Beiping and close to Zhengcunba, that would affect the entire battle situation.

Therefore, when he saw that the soldiers who had returned from the requisition of food had bulging pockets in their waists and were smiling, he didn't see it, but just put away the map irritably and gave the military order to pull out.

Heavy snow continues.

……

What Chen Hui didn't know was that Zhu Di was advancing towards Beiping not far from him.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, Chen Hui and Zhu Di's army actually passed by, and they never met, until Chen Hui's troops trekked for half an hour, and found a large number of horseshoe prints and marching traces on the ground.

The cavalry in Beiping is now in his hands, such a huge number of horses' hooves, it can only be Zhu Di, Chen Hui was overjoyed, after searching for so many days, he finally found the trace of the enemy! He turned on his horse and immediately gave the order for the whole army to pursue.

Just look at the horseshoe prints, the number of enemy cavalry will not be too much, and they are taking a big advantage, in this ice and snow, whoever discovers the other party first, who will take the lead! And this is a cavalry battle, when the difference in numbers is not large, whoever charges first will have an almost thirty-percent higher chance of winning!

And Chen Hui is also a very greedy person, his army followed the traces of the cavalry in front, and after confirming that the distance was not far, he didn't even start immediately, but prepared to approach Beiping, send a fast horse to inform the Chinese army, and then come to the front and back to flank and eat all the cavalry!

It should be said that this plan is still very good, and the situation is very similar to the blue jade expedition to fish in the sea, but Chen Hui has Lan Yu's patience, but he does not have Lan Yu's ability, and Zhu Di... It's not the Northern Yuan Emperor next to the fishing sea.

In fact, he was not among the cavalry that Chen Hui had in mind, but behind Chen Hui.

Soon after Chen Hui followed the cavalry, Zhu Di received a military report, and he also started to meditate on this military report:

"Li Jinglong... Eyeing my former army? ”

……

Yes, the former army.

It is estimated that Chen Hui never dreamed that the Beiping reinforcements he thought were just a front army under Zhu Di.

In his opinion, Zhu Di has reached the point of being overstretched, which is not much different from his own number of cavalry, it is estimated that it is a trump card of Zhu Di, Beiping is too far away from Yongping, only the news of the fall of Daning came, but the news that Daning Wei and the three guards were received by Zhu Di, the southern army did not know, and did not dare to think that Zhu Di's soldiers had expanded their forces three times without blood, and Zhu Di's movements were fast enough.

And Zhu Di didn't talk nonsense with Chen Hui, Chen Hui's behavior of inserting into the marching formation without authorization and thinking about his former army was really too crowded recently and wanted to cut in line.

This kind of cavalry probe is too wasteful to hand over to Duoyan Sanwei, so it is Gu Cheng's 10,000 elite cavalry in front, and Duoyan Sanwei is not moving, now the battle situation in Beiping is urgent, Zhu Di is not ready to delay time, and with a wave of his hand, he let Duoyan Sanwei cavalry go to the aid of the front army.

These Mongols just received Zhu Di's money, and almost carved up Tainingwei, just when they wanted to show themselves, the best thing they did compared to the Han army, probably the money was really done, what ice and snow affected morale, if they didn't fight this battle beautifully, they all felt sorry for the benefits they received.

Heavy snow is falling, the first snow of the year is falling heavier and heavier, there is a lot of intensifying posture, many of the southern soldiers in their lives still see snow for the first time in their lives, they are riding on horses and shivering with their sleeves looking at the scenery, they feel a disturbing vibration behind them.

The snowflakes and mist obscured their vision, and there was no way to know what had happened, and the southern army turned back one after another, until the Yan army was about to rush to their faces, they realized what had happened, the Yan army all over the mountains and fields, like ants, crawled all over the ground covered with snow...

It should be said that Chen Hui is still a general with some ability, the first time he realized that something had happened behind him, he decisively gave up the cavalry in front of him, and sent people to know Li Jinglong at the same time, he led the cavalry to turn around, and launched a charge in a big roundabout posture, in a vain attempt to disperse the enemy army, in his opinion, those cavalry in front will turn back sooner or later, what he can do is to use the advantage of cavalry in the field to disperse these enemy troops behind, and delay time until Li Jinglong sent reinforcements.

But what he didn't expect was that when he led the cavalry to counterattack back, the opposite side actually launched a charge! It wasn't an ambush foot soldier as he imagined, but a cavalry like him!

No way! The horseshoe prints in front are clear and clear, and the Yan army has at least more than 10,000 cavalry in front, where did they come from to charge?

There was no room for him to think too much, the charging cavalry couldn't stop, the snowflakes brought up by the horses' hooves were sprinkled, the snow that fell on the necks turned into water and drilled into the necklines of the soldiers, the hot breath exhaled from the mouths intertwined into white mist, and the two armies with completely different costumes collided head-on between the ice and snow!

It's like two colors blending together, the cavalry at the front was slapped into a meatloaf almost instantly, the huge impact force will not give people any time to scream at all, and the mutilated limbs are everywhere, even if you are lucky enough not to hit head-on, you will be trampled into meat after falling off the horse, Chen Hui thought that he was charging ahead, and he could insert it into the enemy formation like a sharp knife, but what he didn't expect was that his formation was cut to pieces.

This confusion lasted until he could see the faces of the cavalry on the other side.

Mongols, Mongols, or Mongols ... Where did Zhu Di get so many Mongolian cavalry? And with a single face, you can use a crushing posture to deeply penetrate your heart in this most brutal battle?

After a while, he realized, I don't know if it was because of the cold or fear, and even his body trembled.

"Duoyan Sanwei..."

Zhu Di actually got Duoyan Sanwei!

No wonder... The Mongols are the best at charging immediately, their sabers, their bows, everything they are tailored for this tactic, whether it is a cavalry collision, or an impact infantry formation, they can make a reaction that the Han cavalry can't do at all, the two armies still have fifty zhang intersecting, the two wings of the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei have already opened their bows, under the rain of arrows, the cavalry of the southern army ushered in the first wave of casualties, and after pulling the bow and shooting arrows, they did not stop, and immediately drew a beautiful arc to kill the two wings of the southern army, And the cavalry in the center of Duoyan Sanwei raised the sabers in their hands high!

I don't have to look at it anymore... Chen Hui was lucky to survive the first wave of charge, but the order to gather troops and form a formation had not yet been passed down, and all the southern troops were horrified to see that those cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei had already completed the assembly, and they rushed up in the snow again.

Don't they need time to adjust? Don't they know to cherish horsepower? They're just... Enjoy this kind of cavalry fight?

And what made them tremble even more was that another group of cavalry appeared in view.

It's Gu Cheng's Han cavalry... It's not another wave of Duoyan Three-Guard Cavalry, probably the only good news.

Chen Hui closed his eyes in despair, and he didn't hesitate long before turning the horse's head.

He can't die here!

……

The first cavalry battle of the Beiping Defense War took place in Baihe, north of Gushan, the 20,000 cavalry of the Southern Army in this battle did not lose a battle, Duoyan Sanwei lost 2,000 in battle, and the Han cavalry lost 4,000 in battle.

Because these 20,000 cavalry are all the cavalry of the Southern Army.

This also means that from this moment on, the southern army no longer has any means to start a cavalry battle with the Yan army, nor can they implement any cavalry tactics, their only way is to ride on foot and use human lives to limit the damage caused by the remaining 20,000 cavalry of the Yan army.

The main general Chen Hui escaped, and Zhu Di, who continued to advance to Beiping with the remaining infantry of the Fourth Army, did not send anyone to chase him, and ran a Chen Hui and hundreds of cavalry, which was no different from total annihilation.

It is only a hundred miles away from Beiping, if it is a cavalry battle, it only takes one day to rush to fight, and the infantry is only two days to march, which means that after Geng Bingwen's defeat, Li Jinglong led the army north, and Zhu Di faced him on the battlefield for the first time in the real sense.

There are still more than 400,000 people left on one side, and 150,000 and more than 500,000 people on the other hand, and the fate of more than 500,000 people is about to converge on this land outside Beiping City.

At this moment, Li Jinglong still didn't know what was going on, and hundreds of thousands of people were still crowded under Beiping City to attack the city.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhu Di was fully draped and looked coldly in the direction of Beiping.

"Li Jinglong..."

His tone was as cold as frost: "I'm here." ”
