At the beginning of the day after the snow, the earth is covered in silver, and the trees are covered with snowballs of white velvet, and the breeze blows through the branches of the trees and trembles, and the snowballs fall into the gurgling water, drifting down the water to the southwest.

Dozens of Sui cavalry galloped on the field, as rangers sent by the large battalion, their task was to attack all the small Zhou troops that could be attacked, and create favorable conditions for the main force to besiege Fangcheng.

Fangcheng is the eastern gateway of Shannan Jingzhou, is the main road in and out of the Nanyang Basin, just like the Tiger Prison Pass in Luoyang, Tongguan in Chang'an, in order to prevent the Shannan Zhou army from going east out of Fangcheng and threatening the boundary of Yuzhou, the Sui army took the initiative to attack again.

The Zhou and Sui armies confronted each other in Fangcheng, and the Sui State sent a large army from the direction of Luoyang to cross the Funiu Mountain into the boundary of Jingzhou, and flanked the Zhou army in Fangcheng from the north.

Because more than half of this Sui army is cavalry, elite cavalry that has been attacking the Turkic army on the steppe for several years.

"There are Zhou cavalry ahead!"

"About the same number, intercept them!"

The Sui cavalry quickly dispersed, like a pack of hunting wolves, outflanking the sheep in front of them, and although the strength of the two sides was about the same, they did not think that they would lose.

In the grassland and the Turkic cavalry fought viciously for several years, they all had superb riding and archery skills, not these Shannan Zhou cavalry can compare, Jingxiang land water town Zeguo, where can you train a fierce cavalry.

The two sides met unexpectedly, and the cavalry of the Zhou army did not panic, not only did not turn their horses and run away, but bravely stepped forward, and also spread out to the left and right, as if they thought they were also wolves.

"Well done! I don't know what to do, guys..."

Before he finished speaking, the Sui soldier was shot by an arrow in the face door, fell under the horse, and the two sides began to shoot each other with their riding bows, and after a round, each person was hit by an arrow, but because of the armor, there was no big problem.

Just when the two sides abandoned their bows and picked up their horse lances and were about to hedge, the cavalry of the Zhou army suddenly spread out to the two wings, and the cavalry of the Sui army secretly said that it was not good, and they were about to pull the reins but it was too late.

The war horse under the crotch was tripped by the tripping rope hidden by the wild grass on the ground, these tripping ropes were set up in several layers, the width was very long, and there was no way to hide, dozens of Sui cavalry lost most of them like this, and the few lucky ones located on the flanks did not die, but they were waited by the Zhou soldiers.

In a hurry, they slowed down and turned, and they faced the enemy on the side, and these Sui cavalry had no power to parry, and they were quickly driven away.

The field quickly returned to calm, the Zhou cavalry cleaned the battlefield, and a Sui soldier who cheated to death tried to fight back, but was manipulated to kick his head in the head.

"Cut off the head, peel off the armor, and take away all the horses that can walk! Also, take all the tripping horses! ”

"Kaifu, what about the horses with broken legs?"

"Wipe a knife on the neck, give it a good time."

Seeing that his subordinates were a little unbearable, Shi Wansui laughed: "I'm not afraid of killing, how can I be afraid of killing horses!" ”

。。。。。。

Twenty miles northwest of Fangcheng, the Sui army camp.

Yang Shuang, the marshal of the southern march and the king of Wei, was checking the map, turning from the familiar vast grassland to the hilly area of Shannan, and Yang Shuang, who was accustomed to cavalry combat, became more and more cautious.

It's easy to get lost on the grassland, and once you can't find a water source, it's a death, these two problems don't exist in Jingzhou, Shannan, but the undulating terrain hinders the cavalry's operations.

It's not that the horses can't run, but there are more small hills, more trees, and some obstruction of vision, and if you are not careful, the enemy army in ambush behind the hills can make you suffer a big loss.

For Yang Shuang, his eyes are always blocked by some things, which makes him a little uncomfortable, and the way to get rid of these things is to send more rangers out to scout, just like fighting on the grassland, to find out the surrounding enemies.

The cunning Turkic cavalry was erratic, and the movements of its main force were even more confusing, and if they wanted to prevent falling into the ambush circle of the opponent, and if they wanted to bite the opponent's main force, they had to rely on the constant sentinels of the rangers, in fact, they had to do so wherever they fought.

Since crossing Funiu Mountain and entering the boundary of Jingzhou, Yang Shuang approached Fangcheng according to the plan, and planned to march westward from the direction of Yuzhou, and the friendly troops in Fangcheng were approaching, and what his army had to do was to harass Fangcheng's grain road and force the Zhou army to divide his troops to fight a decisive battle with himself.

Let the enemy unconsciously fight a decisive battle on the battlefield he has chosen and at the time he has chosen, which is the trick of Yang Shuang's victory, and the erratic Turkic main force is that after being constantly oppressed and pursued by him, he pounced in anger and was waiting for the Sui army.

However, this tactic is a little difficult now, because the rangers sent out by Yang Shuang are all gone and have never returned.

To be exact, all the rangers sent to the vicinity of Bowang have not been heard from, and no one has returned.

Bowang, located in the northeast of Shangwan 20 miles, Fangcheng southwest 30 miles, is the official road between Shangwan and Fangcheng important place, Shangwan set off the grain team, after crossing the water first through Bowang, and then go to Fangcheng.

Yang Shuang's camp, located in the east of Shushui, more than 20 miles north of Bowang, the southern foot of the remaining veins of Funiu Mountain, and the east is Fangcheng, he is like a thorn stuck in the throat of the Zhou army, just waiting for the other party to "pull out the thorn", and then break it in a battle.

As a result, Bowang's movements were completely uncontrollable, and that area became a blind spot, which made Yang Shuang aware of the danger.

Reinforcements from the Zhou army have arrived!

This is the conclusion he came to after consulting with the generals, the main force of the Jingzhou army is in Shangwan and will not move easily, and the other part has arrived outside Fangcheng and is confronting the Sui army.

The one who can be reinforced must be the Xiangzhou Army or the Anzhou Army in the south, which is also what Yang Shuang hopes, mobilize the opponent's troops, then there will be more and more flaws.

He has a lot of cavalry, and only the other side has more and more flaws when they move, and when the time comes, they can break it with one blow, but the premise is to figure out the reality of the other party.

At least we need to figure out what to set up for, but I just can't figure it out right now!

I only knew that it was near Bowang, and the rangers sent out should have been intercepted and killed by the opponent's cavalry, and the killing was so clean and thorough, so that Yang Shuang only felt energetic, because this showed that the opponent's cavalry was very strong, and only Zhou Guoshan South Road Daxing Taiyu Wenliang was here, and there was such a strong cavalry.

If you can seize the opportunity, you can break it in a battle...

"King! It's back, it's back! ”

The soldiers reported that the rangers who had gone to the Bowang Sentinel had finally returned, but only one.

"One? There are 100 horsemen sent out by Lone! ”

Yang Shuang was a little heartbroken, the rangers he sent out were all elite, and they were not inferior to the Turks in the grassland, but the casualties were so heavy, these were all strong soldiers in a hundred battles!

A soldier covered in blood was carried in, and according to the sentinels on the outskirts of the camp, he was shot like a hedgehog when he returned, lying on his horse and dying, desperately trying to report the military situation to the commander.

"It's all right! Let the military doctor help you bandage your wounds first! ”

"King! Other... Brothers wounded... Tragic death... Heavy. ”

Blood spilled from the mouth of the wounded soldier, obviously seriously wounded and dying, he struggled to report the military situation to Yang Shuang: "Zhou army, set a trap to kill our army rangers... I... They found out clearly, Bowang came with a large group of soldiers and horses. ”

"The camp is stationed... Changing around, the whereabouts are confusing, there are many cavalry ambushes around, and once you probe it, your brothers will die..."

"He... Our camp is moving north, and I... I saw the banner of the Chinese army... It's the word 'Yuwen'..."

The wounded soldier said that he vomited blood and died here, and he didn't blink his eyes, Yang Shuang reached out and closed his eyes, then got up and said: "Beat the drum immediately and convene the generals to discuss the matter!" (To be continued.) )
