Chapter 759: Invitation to Battle

<-》

In Yizhou City, except for the hanging a few stormy wind lights shaking in the wind, emitting a little faint aperture, other places are basically pitch black. The same is true for the camp of the North Army under Yizhou City. The lanterns above the sway tower swayed, dragging the shadows of the soldiers above the sway tower very long, dragging them from the high sway tower to the ground.

It seems calm inside and outside the Yicheng City, not at all. In the city, in the south gate, the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard had already begun to gather. People were covered with grass, horses were tied, and the south gate was wide open. The first vanguard troops had already left the city. At this moment, nearly 20,000 people gathered in the city, but they were extremely quiet and made no sound. From this point, it can be seen that the Jinwu Guard was indeed an elite army.

"General, the vanguard troops have been out of the city for dozens of miles. They have not encountered any interceptions, nor have they found any troops in the Northern Expedition Army!" Liu Hanqing walked to Cheng Qun and whispered

"There is no fear!" Cheng Qun smiled bitterly, "History, do you think the Zhengbei Army on the opposite side really don't know that we are retreating?"

Liu Hanqing shook his head slightly

"They are waiting for us to stay away from Yizhou City!" Cheng Qun took a long breath, "Well, there is no way left and right, so let's fight again, and the front is arranged?"

"Yes, after the forward has arrived at the designated position, he will stop according to your order and wait for the confrontation with the Mongolian army." Liu Hanqing said

"Okay, this is our last battle!" Cheng Qun turned around and stared at the tall city tower, "Let's go!"

In the camp of the North Army, teams of infantry were arranged neatly in the camp. The officers stood in the front row and approached the gate. Yun Zhao rode on the dark clouds and snow. He looked up at the Yizhou city wall, and smiled on his face. In the darkness, from time to time, there were whistle riders running from afar, whispering to the officers on duty.

A trace of white fish belly finally appeared in the sky. The quiet team was unsheathed as Yun Zhao Yi Shuihan choked, and pointed the knife at the sky, bursts of earth-shaking shouts erupted.

"The Northern Army will win thousands of victories!"

"The Northern Army will win thousands of victories!"

Yi Shuihan waved from top to bottom, pointing the blade towards Yizhou City, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly ran out of the camp. After the cavalry, the infantry stepped forward neatly, and rows of fences were pushed down. The Northern Army stepped out of the camp in an orderly manner and headed towards Yizhou City.

The thick city gate was pushed open ten meters before the dark clouds stepped on the snow and reached the front of the city gate. Two teams of soldiers came out neatly and welcomed Yun Zhao and a group of senior generals of the Northern Expedition Army to enter the city. Above the city, the Northern Expedition Army flag was raised high, facing the first ray of sun in the sky, fluttering in the wind. Above the city, the soldiers waved their weapons and cheered loudly.

The recovery of Yizhou City means that the northern land was finally unified under the banner of the Northern Army. The enemy who escaped will be defeated by the Northern Army for nearly ten years in the subsequent pursuit. At this moment, it finally came to a perfect end.

The General's Office of the Yuan Chengqun was already packed out, and Yun Zhao's central army headquarters was stationed here. The personal military camp had just been alerted. Yun Zhao had not sat firmly in the lobby. The generals of all the soldiers entering the city had already rushed in from all directions.

"Prince, the entire Yizhou City is under our control." Yao Changkun was the first to step into the gate. Now all departments are cleaning up the city to clear out possible residual enemies."

"Report to the prince, there were thousands of wounded soldiers from Jinwu Guards found in the barracks in the city. Cheng Qun left them behind!" Wang Qiang said

"How did you deal with it?" Yun Zhao asked

"Return to the prince, the last general has sent troops to guard the barracks, and has concentrated all the doctors in the army into the barracks to heal their injuries and treat them!" Wang Qiang said

"Very good, for them, the war is over!" Yun Zhao smiled and nodded, "You are doing well!"

"Report to the prince, there are still tens of thousands of young and strong people in the city. According to the prince's instructions, we have not restricted their freedom. We have informed them to go to Daji to find their families." Meng Yao stepped out and said loudly

"Report to the prince, when Cheng Qun left, he did not destroy the large amount of military rations and weapons stored in the city. Now our headquarters has taken over the above-mentioned areas!"

"Report to the prince, the officers of the Ministry of Education have already sent the officers of the Ministry of Education to mark the toxic wells. Now the officers of Education are cleaning up one by one and putting out the antidote!"

"This matter must be done well, and one must be revealed. I don't want us to tie ourselves up!" Yun Zhao said with a smile.

Hundred miles from Yizhou City, Jamuhe led 10,000 former Mongolian tent soldiers to stand on a gentle slope, holding his starry eyes tightly in his hand, and he hated Cheng Qun

He will never forget the battle of Cangjiang. The 200,000 Mongolian troops were divided and surrounded and wiped out one by one. In the end, Liu Huajian led all the cavalry of the four guards under Cheng Qun to pursue him for thousands of miles. His father Aslan was seriously injured in order to cover his remaining main force retreat and barely escaped his life.

Cheng Qun is the commander-in-chief of that battle. If it weren't for the great damage to the Mongolians' vitality, perhaps the Mongolians would not have ended up in the end that they need to be under Yun Zhao's command of the Northern Army to survive. They even paid the price of marrying Princess Yaldan to Yun Zhao to strengthen the relationship between the two sides.

If it weren't for that battle, perhaps the winner of the North now would be the Mongolian Jamuha slowly raised his starry eyes, hooked his fingers on the bowstring, and shouted softly. The bowstring was like a full moon, and suddenly let go. The starry eyes made a clear sound, and the bowstring trembled slightly.

Looking up at the sun, I felt a little strange. I estimated the time, the retreating Jinwu Guard should appear in his own field of vision, but the end of the field of vision was still empty

Although it was strange, Jamukha was not in a hurry. Cheng Qun was already a turtle among the men. He would come sooner or later.

Several war horses appeared in his sight, and Jamuha frowned slightly, it was his whistle

"General, Cheng Qun's troops stopped moving forward in Banqiaogou and set up a formation there, as if, as if..." The whistle driver was a little unsure of attention

"It seems like we are waiting for us to attack, right?" Jamuha raised her eyebrows and interrupted the whistle driver's words.

"General, wise, the last general is watching, that's what it means!" The whistle cavalry nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, very good!" Jamuha laughed to the sky, "Cheng Qun probably knew that we were waiting for him in front. Is this challenging us? Very good, I will face the challenge!"

Tuli ran to Jamuhe's side, "General Jamuhe, Jinwu Guards fought in an array, and we didn't necessarily get what we could do when we attack them! It's better to walk slowly and wait for the infantrymen of the North Army to catch up, and the infantry and cavalry cooperated, and the result was twice as good as half the effort!"

Jamuha raised his eyebrows, "No, in this battle, let us Mongolian army defeat the Li, you send someone to inform Bolu and Malihan on the left and right wings."

"General!" Tuo Li wanted to argue

Jamuha sighed, "Tuli, Yun Zhao originally wanted us to fight this battle, otherwise, the Northern Army of the Conquest had already caught up with Cheng Qun. Forget it, let's not talk about these things, and you forgot that Geng Chong poisoned the water source of Yizhou City. The Jinwu Guard must have set off after dinner in the morning. At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Jinwu Guard has been greatly reduced. If we still can't take them, wouldn't it be that the Northern Army of the Conquest has been laughed at by the Northern Army, and we still have to pass my orders with shame and advance the whole army!"

After saying this, Jamukha ran forward with a war horse. Ten thousand soldiers shouted, following Jamukha, galloping forward.

The Banqiao Gordon chosen by Cheng Qun was not a whim, but because of the terrain here. Banqiao Gordon is a small river ditch about ten meters wide. During the flood season, the water surface was about ten meters wide. Now, only the middle part has a stream flowing through. The key is not this small river ditch, but the soft ground around it and the pebbles of different sizes. This is a natural battlefield against cavalry. The war horses cannot accelerate here because they may break their horse legs or step on pebbles at any time because of a hoof. The cavalry has no speed. When they hit the infantry phalanx, their power is reduced by half.

If you don't defeat Meng Qi, you will not have any chance to escape. Cheng Qun firmly believes in this.

He set up a battle here, just to wait for Jamuka to attack. With Jamuka's arrogant personality, he would definitely not refuse his invitation to fight.

The 20,000 Jinwu Guards withdrew from Yizhou City set up a dense formation of each 500 people in Banqiaogou. Forty square formations were arranged in a staggered manner, covering each other without any blind spots. Moreover, these military formations were not completely unmoved in the battle, but could move with the development of the war, thus completing the encirclement and counter-cut of the cavalry. The Dayue Guards developed many tactics specifically for cavalry during the war against the Mongolians over the past few hundred years. This was one of them. Unfortunately, Cheng Qun withdrew from Yizhou City and abandoned all heavy weapons in order to speed up. The first wave of strike missions that should have been undertaken by catapults and crossbows are no longer available. They can only rely on bows and arrows and strong crossbows, which greatly reduced the effect. Fortunately, the terrain here can effectively supplement this fatal flaw.

However, Cheng Qun found that his trouble was not just that there was no long-range attack weapon, but that his soldiers had big problems. The first problem was that among the few cavalry units in the army, there were only more than 2,000 cavalrymen among the 20,000 Jinwu Guards. But now, these are different, and all the war horses that Cheng Qun had to be responsible for counterattack fell down.

"What's going on?" Cheng Qun's face turned blue

Liu Hanqing looked at Cheng Qun with a sweat on his face, "General, shortly after he came out of Yizhou City, the war horses had diarrhea. At first, it was only a few, but more and more, and when they arrived here, they could not move."

"Two thousand war horses all have diarrhea?" Cheng Qun's hand trembled slightly, "What about the soldiers, where are the soldiers?"

Liu Hanqing's voice trembled, "General, many soldiers have also experienced this situation."
