The enemy was fleeing, and Li Xiaoyao was chasing with more than a hundred people. The battle between the two sides was not long, which was the biggest feature of cavalry combat. The time to decide the victory was very short. After losing about half of the cavalry, the Qi army turned around and ran away, while Li Xiaoyao was chasing with more than a hundred cavalry. For the cavalry, now is the best opportunity to expand the results of the battle, because now for the winner, he can kill the opponent without any loss.

Li Xiaoyao stood on the horse's back with awesome feet, pulled his big bow, aimed slowly, and then shot an arrow with a whoosh, and someone would fall down in front of him. He still shot the horse but not the people. The Qi cavalry who fell down naturally would not live long, because the Ming cavalry chasing behind him would give them a spear without hesitation.

Li Xiaoyao only brought more than a hundred people, and the remaining people were cleaning the battlefield. The five hundred Qi army fell about three hundred people there, and the Ming army himself also fell more than a hundred people. The undead enemies needed to finish the fight, and the injured comrades needed to help them return to the base camp. As for the brothers who died in battle, the bodies of them naturally had to be taken back.

Li Xiaoyao suddenly stopped. As soon as he stopped, all the brothers behind him stopped. Not only did they stop, but the Qi army, who was originally chased in disguise, also stopped. They turned the horses and looked at Li Xiaoyao who was standing on the horse's back with viciousness.

The ground was shaking, which was a signal that the cavalry was approaching. The cavalry came from the east, so naturally it would not be the Ming army, but only the Qi army.

Qi Jun, who had just fled in a panic, shouted and rushed forward.

Li Xiaoyao screamed, spread her legs, sat on the horse with a loud voice, turned her head, and shouted: "Brothers, run quickly!"

In an instant, the two sides of the pursuit and fleeing exchanged positions, and now the person who escaped has become Li Xiaoyao.

Two whistles flew into the air with a scream. Li Xiaoyao had to send a signal to the brothers behind to escape first. They were much slower with the wounded soldiers and the bodies of the dead brothers.

They escaped, and the endless cavalry behind them rushed up in the smoke and dust.

Li Xiaoyao turned around: "Be good, there are thousands, run, run, brothers."

The main force led by Cao Ge was slowly advancing. Opposite him were 10,000 Ming army infantry and 5,000 cavalry. Cao Ge was not worried about the opponent's infantry at all. The only thing that made him pay some attention was the opponent's cavalry, because when he advanced forward, he had not yet captured the trace of his opponent's cavalry.

The cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and is flexible and maneuverable. If you cannot catch the opponent's trace, it may be a threat to the army at any time.

Cao Ge had no doubt about winning. His 20,000 troops were not ordinary Qi troops, but were qualified to be selected as the elite of the Longying Army. Just as Qin Feng's miners' battalion had a reserve force, the Longying Army of Qi also had a reserve force. He first selected personnel from various places to enter the reserve force. After training, elimination, and finally staying, he could enter the real Longying Army.

These 20,000 people are such a reserve force. They are not the new army, but are the top candidates selected from the national army. This time, because they were of great importance to the battle between the Ming army, they could not draw other troops and could not transfer the emperor's personal army Long Xiang army, so they became the troops to aid Guo Xiancheng.

As long as the Ming army Zhuifeng Camp was found and their location was determined, Cao Ge believed that the overall situation was basically decided in this battle. Because in addition to these 20,000 troops, Guo Xiancheng also equipped him with 10,000 county soldiers and 30,000 troops. What reason does he have to fail to win this war?

A cavalry rushed over and came to Cao Ge, and turned over and dismounted.

"General Cao, you have found the Ming army's Zhuifeng Camp. They are in the direction of Xiaotangshan. General Hu Yu has already chased him." Cao Ge looked happy and waved his hand. A personal soldier behind him immediately opened a map. Xiaotangshan is about fifty miles away from their current location and more than thirty miles away from their target millstone this time.

"Kill them!" Cao Ge waved his hand, "The whole army speeded up and rushed to the millstone. Defeat their right wing, and then assist General Guo in siege Wangjiazhuang."

Since he found the enemy's cavalry, Cao Ge had no worries and the entire army accelerated to the enemy's main force, Millet. There, the Ming army's Shanshan Camp and the Cheetah Camp were waiting for them.

It was just a question, Cao Ge didn't think about what if his cavalry lost? Or in his mind, the cavalry under his command would not be worth losing. He was the substitute of Long Xiangjun, and even if he was on the front line, it would not be much different. But he forgot that the cavalry opposite him had experienced a fierce battle with the Qin army's iron cavalry, a mature army that had experienced actual combat and defeated the Qin army's iron cavalry.

When Cao Ge advanced towards the millstone with full confidence, the battle had officially begun on another battlefield.

Gaoba, an important fulcrum of the river rock defense line, Xianbisong has equipped a total of 5,000 people here. To defend Gaoba, it is like guarding the backbone of the entire defense line. If you lose it here, the entire defense line will become fragmented points and cannot be connected to a whole defense line. The importance of the high dam can be imagined.

The one who attacked Gaoba was the Ming army's Ruijin Camp.

Xian Bisong knew very well that in this battle, as long as he defended the line on the Biheyan line, he would be considered to have completed the task. Two thousand Qi troops were fighting against more than 30,000 Ming troops. In terms of force, he was not at a disadvantage. After all, he was defending and his opponent was attacking. Although there was no strong city to rely on, he could build some simple fortifications. In addition to the combat effectiveness of the Qi army itself, he was confident that he could block the opponent's attack.

Of course, for him, simply defending is definitely not possible. Only by leading the attack while defending can he reduce his pressure even more. Moreover, he also has the ability to counterattack.

Gaoba is the fulcrum of the entire defense line. Not only did he equipped five thousand defenders here, he also set up his base in Shawan, which is only ten miles away from Gaoba. Here, he has five thousand mobile troops to use at any time.

Gaoba was a huge reservoir many years ago. It was built in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had a strong national strength and sufficient wealth. In order to solve the problem of local irrigation water sources, the Tang Dynasty allocated huge funds to build a water block between the two mountains and divert water into it, forming a large reservoir of tens of thousands of acres. However, more than a hundred years ago, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed and Qi replaced it. Yue, Qin and Chu then rose. The water level of this reservoir continued to drop every year. A few years later, the huge reservoir dried up. Now the land behind the dam has been transformed into tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. Because the land is extremely fertile, it basically grows and harvests. Moreover, although the reservoir is dry, there are still some low-lying places with water sources, which also provides the most basic water resources for these tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

The Qi army's position was built around this dam. From the bottom of the dam, one by one, one by one, and on the top of the dam, there were rows of terrain that were daunting. At a rough look, there were at least hundreds of trenchers. Because the terrain was extremely high and the range was extremely long. The catapults at this position were a huge threat to any long-range weapons of the Ming army, because only he could hit you, you could not hit him.

In order to ensure the defense of Gaoba, Xian Bisong even invited a master from Nantianmen to take charge.

In the view of the Qi army, this place is as solid as the high dam is not broken, the connection points of the entire defense line will not be interrupted. Even if there are problems in other places, remedial measures can be taken quickly. If the high dam does not fall into the hands of the Ming army, they dare not go straight in and after entering the Qi army's defense line.

The general of Qi State, Cheng Song, was responsible for commanding the defense battle of Gaoba. He was the deputy general of Xian Bisong, a master with a level nine cultivation level. Here, Xian Bisong sent a grandmaster and a level nine master, which was extremely important.

On the eighth day of the October 19th, when the sun had just emerged from behind the mountain, amid the rumbling drums, the Ming army appeared in the sight of the Qi army above the Gaoba.

"What is that?" Standing in front of rows of trenchers, Cheng Song pointed to several small black houses moving slowly in the distance, a little puzzled. Standing beside him was Lan Yongchuan, a master from the Nantianmen.

"I've never seen it." Lan Yongchuan shook his head.

Cheng Song took a deep breath. He was a monster when things happened abnormally. Even though he had never seen such a thing, the Ming army dragged him here for a long time, so naturally it was not a decoration. He waved his hand and called the officer in charge of the trencher, pointing to the black houses, "Did you see it? The war will start soon, and kill those things first."

"What is that?" The general looked at the black houses for no reason.

"I don't care what he is, but I can smell the danger from him." Cheng Song said in a deep voice.

Cheng Song's intuition was correct. These black houses were indeed an extremely dangerous guy for them. When Cheng Song arranged to kill these unknown things as soon as possible, the monk was frowning and looking at the towering catapults on the high dam in the distance.

"Is the range sufficient?" he asked.

"General, if we can advance to the front of the enemy's position about a hundred steps, it will be enough." A captain looked at the distance.

"Damn it, you have to advance to the front of the position about a hundred steps. If the enemy counterattacks, how many people will I want to protect you and replenish your troops. You will inevitably have to rush through the attack range of those catapults. How much sacrifice will it take for such a long distance."

"Then we can only hit his position first." The captain looked at the tall catapults: "General, all of them are the oldest catapults. Once installed, the shooting angle and shooting distance are fixed. If you want to adjust, it will take a very long time. Unlike our thunderbolt fire, we can move to their shooting dead corners, destroy their defensive positions first, and then advance forward." The captain said.
Chapter completed!
