Yongzhou City is the place where Yongzhou is located, and it is also the largest city in Yongzhou. Yongzhou is close to the borders of the empire, and although it is not as wealthy as the southern cities, the city also has its own characteristics, that is, complete polarization. In the south of Yongzhou City, the position occupied by Yuwen Chengdu is mainly to produce various resources, such as ores, charcoal, medicinal materials, etc., while the north is the land of horse grazing, and the annex of the empire, Liangzhou is also the main horse production land of the empire. This is also the reason why Yuwen Chengdu is unable to attack the north in order to expand to the front line of Qinshan, the infantry unit is not the opponent of the cavalry force after all, not to mention that Yuwen Chengdu has just occupied the land of Yongzhou behind it and urgently needs to recuperate, so after occupying Yongzhou City under the advice of his subordinates, he confronted Tong Weiyong in the north across the Qinling Mountains.

The Yongzhou army was also a soldier when Yuwen Chengdu was there, and Yuwen Chengdu himself was very strong, so compared to others, Yuwen Chengdu believed in personal liliang, and many of his generals were also brave people. Since Liu Fan began to recruit and mobilize various armies, the Yongzhou Corps in Yuwen Chengdu also received military orders, and the elite troops were transferred south, and the remaining 200,000 troops were handed over to Luo Chun and Zhang Huai to lead them to defend Yongzhou.

The Liangzhou Corps is menacing and strong, although the remaining 200,000 troops of the Yongzhou Corps are fighting desperately, they are not the opponent of the Xiliang Legion of the Tiger and Wolf Division after all, and they have been defeated in successive battles, and now there is only Yongzhou City left. Even the Yongzhou Weapons Manufacturing Division, which was originally in his hands, was taken away by the Xiliang Army, so the Yongzhou Army appeared in this state of lack of armor. There are millions in Yongzhou City, and recruiting hundreds of thousands of young people is not a problem. However, the key problem is that the arsenal in Yongzhou City cannot arm so many young people. The arsenal in Yongzhou City is already the limit of the defeated Yongzhou army. The most is to give half of the young and strong one of them a war knife.

The dangerous situation of Yongzhou City is far beyond everyone's imagination, the strength of the Yongzhou army is insufficient, but it has to face the enemy on both sides, although it can enter the border of the state and the state in the west, but now the boundary of the state is not very peaceful, the two sides are also in a bloody battle around the Yuntian fortress, and the current army of the state is not the invincible iron cavalry of the past, but is suppressed by the barbarian troops in the Yuntian fortress and cannot get out at all. Even if the Yongzhou army passed, the situation they faced was not necessarily much better than that of the Bingzhou army, and more importantly, they had to face the cavalry of the barbarians who had already begun to attack the interior.

Yongzhou City is now left with heavy infantry, Yue Fei quickly sent a ranger to investigate the enemy's situation, and found someone to find the old man in the city, and quickly made a topographical sand table around Yongzhou City, and soon sent out the rangers to send back the information of the army everywhere, Yue Fei's generals hurriedly marked the location of each enemy army on the sand table. On the one hand, Yue Fei was arranging the army, and he was also constantly asking for information about Yongzhou City from the officials in the city, as well as the current situation of Yongzhou City.

"Great. It seems that this guy in the north is also very stable?" Although Nian Qianyao was not very treated by Liu Fan, Liu Fan also had to admit that this guy was indeed a good fighter. Different from Yue Fei's birth army, this guy's attainments in cavalry warfare are very high, if there is still a person under Yue Fei's account who can surpass Nian Qianyao in the tactics of cavalry warfare, then I am afraid that only Ma Chao, one of the five tiger generals, is born, after all, Ma Chao was born as an orthodox cavalry general. There is another one that is Li Sheng, the fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, after all, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was notoriously powerful, and Li Sheng, a general with great achievements, is naturally not low in cavalry warfare.

The one in the north in Nian Qianyao's mouth is Tong Weiyong, who occupies the north of Yongzhou, to be honest, Yue Fei doesn't believe that this Tong Weiyong is an agent pushed out by a local hero, although the empire is in chaos now, but not everyone has the courage to rebel against the empire. It is very likely that this Tong Weiyong is the one in the imperial capital, he can't be Dong Zhuo's person at all, but the probability of the eight great emperors is greater, of course, these are Yue Fei's guesses. Dong Zhuo of Liangzhou occupies Wuwei City, and he is about to march into Yongzhou City, if Tong Weiyong does not want to be trapped in the north for the rest of his life, then this is his chance to enter the army, and only by taking Yongzhou City will they have a way out.

Of course, this is their chance, the garrison of Qinshan that originally sealed them has been withdrawn, and now Qinshan is an undefended fortress. And judging from the information in his hands, the combat effectiveness of this Tong Weiyong's soldiers is not inferior to that of the Xiliang Army, and there are many troops. It's just that the location of Qinshan is too dangerous, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yuwen Chengdu just put a division here, which completely blocked Tong Weiyong's road to the south. Now as soon as this division is withdrawn, Tong Weiyong's opportunity will come, as long as Yongzhou City is occupied, his army will have a way out.

"These people are all cavalry, even if we send the defenders into the Qinshan fortress now, it will be too late. Yue Fei looked at the marching route on the sand table and said to a few generals under his command: "The morale of our army is not high, even if the few cavalry left in the city now, I am afraid that they will not be able to occupy the Qinshan Fortress before they rush to the Qinshan Fortress." But I want to try this Tong Weiyong's true skills. ”

"Marshal, is this a little difficult?" Luo Chun looked at Yue Fei with a somewhat embarrassed face and said: "Tong Weiyong's men are all cavalry troops, and they are very well-equipped, and our remaining cavalry troops are only 3,000 people, and if we attack Tong Weiyong's 200,000 horses with 3,000 people, even if the infantry army in our rear goes out to fight, I am afraid we will not be able to get any benefits." ”

"Your words are not unreasonable. Yue Fei smiled and Luo Chun said: "I don't want to fight to the death with this Tong Weiyong in this battle, since we still have three thousand cavalry, this is enough, these three thousand people are enough for us to drag Tong Weiyong to death." ”

"Marshal, let me go in this battle, I promise to drag this Tong Weiyong to death, and not let a single soldier cross into the territory of Yongzhou City. Nian Qianyao, Ma Chao and Li Sheng fought at the same time, compared to the others, the three of them were very interested in this battle, especially Ma Chao since he joined the army, because of the lack of war horses in the Shenwu Army, the opportunity to lead the cavalry is really rare. Now there is an opportunity in front of them. Naturally, he would not give up.

Yue Fei drew his fingers heavily on the road to Yongzhou on the first line of Qinshan, and said with a smile: "Look. The terrain from here to Yongzhou City is flat, which is suitable for the long-distance attack of the cavalry, Tong Weiyong has 200,000 elite cavalry in his hands, and the combat effectiveness naturally does not need us to doubt. As for us, we only have 3,000 troops on hand, and even if our cavalry can be used as one as ten, the gap in strength is still very large, so the main purpose of this cavalry battle is not to defeat the enemy. Instead, it slowed down the opponent's marching speed, so that the opponent could not quickly march to the rear of our army, and when we cleaned up this Liangzhou army, we turned around and we were cleaning up this Tong Weiyong. ”

"So the cavalry station of this battle is a key battle in the defensive battle of our Yongzhou City, as long as your cavalry station is well fought, the crisis of Yongzhou City can be solved, and we can also turn back and clean up the 200,000 cavalry troops that are not long-sighted, and then the city land we lost will be returned to our hands. So this battle, I decide!" Yue Fei glanced at the generals around him and said, "With Li Sheng as the main general, Nian Qianyao." Ma Chao is a deputy general, and you only need 3,000 cavalry. But I ask you to hold me back for fifteen days. ”

"The last general has an order!" Yue Fei never asked them if they had any difficulties, although Liu Fan appointed Yue Fei as the commander of the Yongzhou Army, but after so many days of contact, Yue Fei found that among the generals under his command, Li Sheng and Meng Gong's talents were both in the same league as himself, and even Meng Gong was stronger in defensive operations, and the strength of the other generals was not inferior to his own, since they received the military order, they naturally knew what to do. Ma Chaoyong is brave, but the lack of overall situation is not suitable for being the main general, Nian Qianyao's qualifications are too shallow, not enough to serve as the coach, without Liu Fan's handpicking, whether Nian Qianyao can suppress Li Sheng and Ma Chao is still a problem, only Li Sheng is the most suitable to be the main general.

Three thousand cavalry, this is the cavalry unit of the Yongzhou Corps, the task of this battle is very heavy, they have to face 200,000 elite cavalry troops. Li Sheng knew what Yue Fei was thinking, compared to regaining morale in the cavalry, what Yue Fei thought about the most was to deal with the upcoming mixed cavalry and infantry corps, and the road from Wuwei City to Yizhou City was more suitable for combat. Yue Fei doesn't want to fight this corps, Yue Fei is not interested, now the morale of the Yongzhou Corps is low, they are now a lone army, it can be said that the garrison of Yongzhou City has become a real lone army, even if you want to give up Yongzhou City now, it will be too late to withdraw the troops. However, Yue Fei is not worried about this at all, because he is here, he wants to find the military soul of the Yongzhou Army in the Liangzhou Corps, which defeated the Yongzhou Army, and make the Yongzhou Army become the Yuejia Army under Yue Fei's Shenwu Army.

Boom, the war drums in the barracks were silent for a few days and finally sounded, Li Sheng held the war knife in his hand, and took Ma Chao and Nian Qianyao to the barracks, and the three thousand cavalry who were waiting for the task in the camp quickly assembled. Although the cavalry with a number of about 20,000 has been wiped out, and only 3,000 people remain, but after all, this cavalry was trained by Yuwen Chengdu, and the good military quality is still there, Li Sheng stood on the handsome platform and looked at the 3,000 cavalry that were quickly assembled, and nodded with satisfaction.

Each of the three thousand cavalry in the school field had a tired look on his face, leading the war horse and holding the spear in his hand and staring coldly at the three main generals on the platform, their commander was Luo Chun, and this time Luo Chun did not come to gather them, it was the other three unfamiliar generals who came, but the momentum of the three made the three thousand cavalry feel a sense of security and trust that they had never had. The strong strength of Li Sheng and the three of them did not deliberately converge, the three thousand cavalry were very strange, where did these three generals come from, they were like a powerful momentum and aura, Li Sheng held the knife in his hand, Ma Chao and Nian Qianyao were on Li Sheng's left and right with a gun, and coldly glanced at the cavalry on the school field.

"Soldiers, hold the weapons in your hands tightly, and beat your chest with the other hand, tell me if your military spirit is still there?" Li Sheng held the weapon in his hand and slammed it on his chest with one hand. The soldiers on the school field learned Li Sheng's movements in a good way, and beat them on the chest with their hands, and suddenly there was a sound of iron armor hitting on the school field, and the suppressed anger of the school field disappeared in an instant, and Li Sheng stared coldly at the soldiers on the school field.

"The soul of the army is immortal, and the fighting spirit will live forever!" Li Sheng shouted as he looked at the zombies under his command, and put his left hand on his chest, Ma Chao and Nian Qianyao also closely learned Li Sheng's movements. At first, the two of them couldn't pay back the meaning of Li Sheng's doing. Wait until your hands are on your chest. Suddenly, a sense of pride rose from the bottom of his heart.

"The soul of the army is immortal, and the fighting spirit will always remain!" The three thousand cavalry on the school field also shouted loudly following Li Sheng's example, as soon as this sentence came out, they suddenly felt a sense of heroism in their hearts, although they didn't know what Li Sheng was going to do, weishenme was going to take them to do this, but there was a voice in their hearts telling them that even if Li Sheng led them to launch a zuihou charge against the enemy now, they would not hesitate to charge. The soul of the army is immortal, the fighting spirit is eternal, they will use blood to witness their oath, and wash away their shame with blood.

"Everyone get on the horse, follow me on the expedition!" Li Sheng walked down quickly under the handsome platform and took the war horse led by the guard, turned over and got on the horse, and rushed out of the school field with the knife in his hand, and then Ma Chao and Nian Qianyao also took the war horse from the hands of the guard, and rushed out of the barracks when they turned over. With a bang, the three thousand elite cavalry mounted neatly and neatly, showing that this was a strong army. An elite cavalry unit trained to fight.

Boom, the horses beat the earth rhythmically. As the city gate slowly opened under the combined force of dozens of soldiers, Li Sheng took the lead in rushing out of the city gate, and the three thousand cavalry behind him rumbled out of the city gate holding high the banner of the Yongzhou Army of the Shenwu Army. There were very few 3,000 cavalry, and the cavalry of the whole army out of the city only needed less than a stick of incense to rush out of the city gate, and rushed into the distance with a heavy murderous aura, belonging to the war knife in their hands to wash away the shame of their Yongzhou army.

Yue Fei, who was standing on a high place and looking at the cavalry who rushed out of the barracks, showed a hint of joy on his face, what he was most worried about was the morale of these three thousand cavalry, but he never thought that Li Sheng would completely mobilize the morale of this cavalry with just a simple action. From the momentum of these 3,000 cavalry out of the city gate, Yue Fei knew that they would win this battle, even if the other party's 200,000 elite cavalry troops could do anything to me, Yongzhou would be my Yue Fei's sooner or later, and the north would be my Yue Fei's sooner or later, and one day I Yue Fei would drive you out of the Lion Empire, and go to your imperial capital to complete the hegemony for my lord, and all those who dare to stand in the way will die!

Three thousand elite cavalry went out of the city gate, and the infantry quickly gathered, and Yue Fei certainly did not pin all his hopes on Li Sheng. In order for the generals to never have a foolproof heart, Yue Fei quickly mobilized 20,000 elite soldiers plus 30,000 young soldiers, and soon arranged a defense line in Xiangshang, where Tong Weiyong's army came, and the rest of the troops Yue Fei wanted to take them all out of Yongzhou City, and they were going to find the exhaust gas of the Liangzhou army that rushed over.

"General, we only have 3,000 men, but the enemy's strength has 200,000 elite cavalry, and almost all of them are one man and two horses, both in mobility and combat effectiveness are far superior to us, how should we fight this battle?" Li Sheng was not in a hurry to tell the purpose of their battle, but was trying to figure out how to mobilize these 200,000 troops to follow him.

As Ma Chao said, these 200,000 troops are far more than the troops in his hands in terms of mobility and combat effectiveness, and without a suitable combat jihua, Li Sheng will not go out with these 3,000 troops to die. Li Sheng was carefully considering the possibility of fighting, but in any respect, this operation was extremely risky, and how to mobilize the opponent's forces was also the biggest problem that troubled Li Sheng.

"Our soldiers are demoralized now, but our biggest problem is the lack of troops. After Qinshan Mountain, it is a land of flat rivers, if we want to play hide and seek with the other party here, it is almost impossible, unless we cut out all the other party's sentinel rangers, so that the other party completely becomes deaf and blind, and set up an ambush here to replace it with a false soldier, so that the other party wants to move but does not dare to move. ”

"General, we only have a strength of 3,000 people, if we want to cut out the opponent's rangers, but also set up ambushes, our troops are not enough, and if the number is too small, the other party will not necessarily be on the list, at least this ambush army must fight with the other party fiercely, and beat the other party painfully, so that we can thank you for doubts on the way into the army. "Nian Qianyao analyzed the current strength, their troops are insufficient, and it is very difficult to set up ambushes on flat ground, if one is not good, it is very likely to expose them, so as to completely lose the opportunity.

"Three thousand people is enough for us to do a lot of things, before the operation I have obtained information from the hands of the Dark Night Quicksand about the commander of the Northern Army Tong Weiyong, this person is cruel, familiar with the art of war, especially in cavalry warfare is very high, but this person has a fatal flaw, that is, this person is very suspicious of the character of leading troops. Since we are suspicious, we might as well give him a false and real, false and true, so that they will hesitate completely, so as to create opportunities for me to break through them. Li Sheng made a simple terrain and said to Nian Qianyao and Ma Chao, the two looked at Li Sheng's continuous comparison, and their frowning brows suddenly relaxed, 200,000 troops can only have a chance of success if they are defeated.
