Chapter 380 Taibai!
In the early morning of the fifth day of October, three hundred vanguard cavalry, led by Yi Congdu Manyu, left Aocang, followed the river, and headed straight for Junyi and Chenliu.
At noon that day, the main force of the cavalry went on the road in batches, followed behind the vanguard, and surged out.
After nightfall, the Silver Spear Army soldiers and a small number of craftsmen all boarded the boat and sailed down the river.
This is Shao Xun’s battle plan: to alert the enemy.
Since there is serious battlefield fog and you don’t know where the enemy is, then take the initiative to entangle and contact the enemy, and you will naturally get more useful information.
More than 6,000 cavalrymen and nearly 15,000 horses and mules, carrying five days of food and water, are already a huge force.
The advantageous point is that the enemy probably only knows that he has led his troops to return for reinforcements, but they don't know where he is and from which direction he will attack. He must take advantage of the precious window of time when the enemy scouts did not notice him, and maneuver as far as possible to get closer to the core battlefield - in fact, he did not know where the core battlefield was in the two states of Yu and Yan.
On the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, a surging crowd of horses and people arrived at Junyi.
Just as the beggar army Chen Wu, who was facing a formidable enemy, was overjoyed.
Wang Ping's troops, who were about the same strength as them, were surrounded and shot by the Huns. They were beaten to pieces and suffered heavy casualties. What would happen to them if they encountered a large group of Hun cavalry?
Seeing Mr. Chen who had descended from the sky at this time, Chen Wu didn't even ask how many people he had brought with him and worshiped him directly.
Seeing this person, everything is stable.
Never before at this moment, Chen Wu felt so at ease.
When Chen Gong was in Henan, he didn't feel anything.
But once he is gone and there are powerful enemies outside, doubts, worries, hesitation and other emotions emerge uncontrollably. After all, they had suffered repeated defeats before, being beaten by Shi Le and the Huns. They were in constant panic and didn't really have much confidence in winning.
Shao Xun did not stop here. He only replenished some food and water, exchanged a small number of horses and mules, and then recruited three hundred cavalry before continuing on the road.
On the seventh night of the seventh lunar month, a raging wave of cavalry arrived in Kaocheng.
Throughout the night, there was a lot of noise inside and outside Kao City.
After dawn, the flag with the word "Shao" stands on the high hill.
The defenders at the top of the city were startled at first, and then burst into violent cheers.
The cheers became louder and louder, and soon the city gate opened, and a large group of sergeants came out, waving their spears and ring-headed knives, and shouted louder and louder: "Chen Gong is victorious!"
Amid the sound, a man in red robe jumped up to the high hill as fast as lightning.
The horse seemed to be excited and stood up.
The man didn't even look at it. He pulled the reins casually, and the horse snorted and dropped its front hooves obediently.
On the top of the city, some shogunate officials cried with joy.
After receiving the news, Concubine Pei and Mrs. Liu hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and looked around.
Wearing a red robe made by her, he held a long horsetail, looking very powerful.
The flag was flying high, and the sergeants gathered around him, with swords, guns, swords and halberds arrayed in a very strict manner.
At this moment, everyone understood.
What Henan needs is not romance, but men who can conquer the battlefield.
"Taibai!"
"Taibai!"
Another burst of sound came, and then spread throughout Kao City and outside.
Everyone was cheering, not only because the backbone was coming, but also because they were venting their previous fears and worries.
Taibai looked at the city for a long time, then he turned his horse's head and galloped north.
Concubine Pei smiled and touched her belly subconsciously, as if to say to the child: "Your grandpa has conquered the world for you."
Ms. Liu looked away, seemingly filled with hatred It has become a very distant thing.
At the same time, it is a bit sad. This troubled world not only makes people die of hunger, disease, and war, but it also controls people's hearts, making people unable to help but let go of all the obsessions of the past.
This man once raped her, and she didn’t want to submit to it—thief!
Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, the blush on her cheeks looming.

The few morning stars gradually disappeared, and dawn quietly covered the wilderness.
On the surprisingly flat land, groups of cavalry were running at a constant speed.
Some people are grazing horses on the roadside, or feeding them beans mixed with salt water.
Some people were sleeping on straw mats with their eyes closed.
Some people just stopped and handed their tired horses to one-fifth of the people left behind in their building to take them to rest and regain their power. The rest of the people changed to the horses that had been running empty and continued to move forward.
They crossed the fields.
At this dawning moment, the fields were extremely lonely, with not even a single person in sight.
They crossed the wooden bridge.
There was silence all around, only the gurgling water under the bridge brought a faint trace of vitality.
They passed by the fort.
Thousands of households in the village seemed dead, with no sound or lights.
A green and black city wall appeared in the northwest, standing abruptly in the open wilderness. It looked taller than during the day, and even seemed to greet people.
The dawn of autumn, the desolate fields, the silent countryside, the blue city, the dull horseshoes, the heavy breathing...
All these constitute the typical scenes on the plains of eastern Henan during the war years. scene.
"Crack!" The morning wind suddenly rose, and the flags whistled.
The head horse neighed, quickened his pace, and turned northeast along the post road.
The rest of the people followed silently. Some people walked along the post road, some walked through the village, and some crossed the fields.
On the boundless land, the cavalry gradually filled up. Even though there were only two thousand cavalry, it still felt overwhelming.
To the east of Taodong, the city of Jiyin County, a mixed group of infantry and cavalry had just pulled out the camp and started marching.
It was not yet completely bright, and the soldiers held torches in their hands.
Zhang Yue was riding a horse, his face shining with red fire, his brows fixed, like a sculpture.
The strong wind carried the flags, flying around him.
The soldiers followed Zhang Yue closely, looking relaxed.
The Pioneer Rangers have been to Jiyin a long time ago. People in the city are panicked and there are no soldiers or generals. It seems that they can easily win with a charge.
After defeating this city, everyone can make an extra income, how wonderful!
From time to time, passwords were heard in the team.
The scouts lazily got out of the large army and ran outside.
The scouts sent out last night, a group of three, each with five horses, have not returned yet. They should be fine, so why send a second group - a group of three, one person with five horses, and several eclipses. Shui stayed out all night, which was the norm for scouts. No news was good news. He would only rush back to report after detecting the enemy.
Not long after the scouts dispersed, they suddenly rushed back with pale faces and went straight to the location of the general's flag.
Zhang Yue's soldiers were about to step forward to scold him, but they saw smoke and dust suddenly rising in the open field behind the scout.
They are very fast, have a large number of people, and look very capable. Even if they have seen the enemy, they still adjust their speed leisurely and leisurely. There is no doubt that this is a veteran.
The enemy cavalry appeared so unexpectedly and the attack was launched so suddenly, which suddenly panicked thousands of people in Zhang Yue's army who were marching.
The soldiers' horses were jumping and neighing behind him, as if they were eager to rush forward and fight.
Zhang Yue pondered for a moment. After all, he is a veteran of wars and knows that he must not hesitate at this time.
With a sudden decision, he looked at his generals with stern eyes. After some coercion and inducement, he rushed forward with only a few hundred cavalry, spear against spear, euphorbia against euphorbia, come on. A head-on cavalry charge took place.
The ferocious waves of cavalry rushed past, and a large number of people on both sides screamed and fell off their horses.
The Jin cavalry that dispersed Zhang Yue's tribe did not stop at all and attacked the Han infantry.
The Han army was on the march. Their equipment was lacking and they were not in formation. Except for a few people from the rear group who hurriedly ran into the baggage train and escaped, most of them were rushed away. The noise resounded throughout the wilderness. .
The Jin cavalry rushed out more than a hundred steps away, divided into two groups, turned back and continued to attack the infantry.
Under the iron hooves, the infantry rushed like wolves.
As the mane flew, blood rained down.
Unsurprisingly, they were scattered again and lost any possibility of forming an formation.
Two hundred steps away from them, the cavalry from both sides had another head-on confrontation.
In the end, Zhang Yue couldn't stand this kind of life-for-life style of fighting. He whistled and pulled away with his soldiers and cavalry.
Unfortunately, they were not good at riding and shooting, and they did not bring a few horn bows with them. After looking at the opposite side with hatred, they fled hurriedly to the east.
But the other side did not intend to let him go. The horn sounded slowly, and the cavalry scattered in the distance came closer, chasing Zhang Yue all the way.
Zhang Yue lost his last remaining fighting spirit and just ran away.
As they ran, another group of cavalry came diagonally ahead, about a hundred or ten people.
He subconsciously turned his horse's head and rushed north.
There are more and more trumpets.
The sound of horse hooves became more and more rapid.
The shouts were getting closer and closer, as if they were ringing in my ears.
Zhang Yue turned around and saw that there were large groups of people surrounding him from the east, west and south. He had no choice but to rush forward.
The land became softer and softer, more and more reeds passed by, and the speed gradually slowed down.
Suddenly, a small puddle of water appeared in front of him, followed by a second and third one...
Zhang Yue's heart suddenly jumped off his horse, and after rolling on the ground, Stumbling into the muddy reeds.
The Jin cavalry who were chasing him also dismounted and chased after him, shouting loudly.
Zhang Yue abandoned his armor and spear and ran away desperately, even losing one of his military boots.
An arrow passed by his side, irritating the hair on his body to stand on end.
After two screams in succession, the last two soldiers who followed him fell to the ground unwillingly.
Zhang Yue could no longer hear any sounds and was highly focused. There was only one thought in his mind: escape, must escape!
More and more people are following behind, and the arrows are getting denser.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly in his ears. It was the person who was bypassing the muddy wetland and waiting for him in the front.
Sure enough, the reeds over there have begun to stagger. Under the sunlight, the cold light of the weapon appeared.
Zhang Yue cursed a few words in grief and anger, changed direction, and rushed directly into Heze.
He can swim. After entering the lake, he may have a chance to escape.
"Hiss!" The ice-cold lake water in late autumn made his legs twitch.
Zhang Yue gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, but after taking a few steps, his foot got stuck again and he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.
The sound of violent water splashes was heard from behind.
Zhang Yue turned around and saw several people looking at him with cruel and surprised eyes.
In an instant, several weapons were placed on his neck.
