Mo Wuyi stared at Kou Ying and frowned: "You mean to say that you want to send a group of soldiers and horses to attack Wuping Mansion, pretending to be a posture and retreating to cover the withdrawal of the army?" ”

"Exactly." Kou Ying said: "If the whole army retreats, once the Northwest Army follows the attack, the consequences will be unimaginable. As far as I know, Chu Huan also has a cavalry corps in his hands, which is not weak in terms of strength and combat effectiveness, and it is precisely because of the existence of such a cavalry that we must be cautious. Xiang Mo Wuyi bowed his hand and said: "Big brother, you hand over the cavalry to me, I will lead them to feign an attack in the direction of Wuping Mansion, the main force of soldiers and horses will retreat to Yanshan, and retreat to Liaodong, as long as you evacuate safely, the cavalry corps will retreat again, and it will be much faster." ”

"The main army?" Mo Wuyi said lightly: "The cavalry is handed over to you, isn't it just that the main force of soldiers and horses is handed over to you?" What did you say about the withdrawal of the main force, there are 20,000 cavalry in the city, and the follow-up cavalry is still gathering in the city, within three days, there are at least 30,000 cavalry gathered in the city, you mean to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Wuping Mansion? ”

Kou Ying nodded and said, "Entering Wuping Mansion can be fake or true." If there are too few soldiers and horses, it is likely that the enemy will not be able to stop the enemy, but will be swallowed by the Northwest Army. With 30,000 iron cavalry, the defense is enough to block the enemy, and the attack may not be able to swallow Wuping Mansion. If the Northwest Army wants to defend Wuping Mansion, the last general will lead the cavalry across the middle of Wuping to Yanshan to ensure that the eldest brother can lead the men and horses to retreat safely, if the Northwest Army does not dare to fight with us, it is not without a chance to take the opportunity to take Wuping Mansion. ”

Mo Wuyi looked around at everyone and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Some of the people looked at each other, some bowed their heads and were silent, but no one spoke for a while.

At this time, he heard the sound of a report from outside, and a person close to the door went out, and soon returned to the house with a nervous look, closed the door, Mo Wuyi saw that his face was nervous, and frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

The man said: "Big brother, the Northwest Army and the Northwest Army have already sent troops!" ”

"What?" There was a commotion in the room.

"Where are you going?" Mo Wuyi stepped forward, "But you're coming to Fallen Horse City?" ”

"I just got the information that the Northwest Army has entered Gucheng, and at the speed of cavalry, it is only three or four days away from Fallen Horse City." The man's expression was grim.

"Could it be that the Northwest Army is going to take the initiative?" Someone immediately said, "They're not going to get any news, are they?" ”

"No, it won't." Mo Wuyi was very sure: "I just got the news of Dianshuai's death, they will never be faster than us, from Wuping Mansion to Gucheng, even if it is a cavalry, it will take at least three or four days, that is to say, if they get the news, it will be four or five days ago, and it is absolutely impossible in time." ”

Kou Ying frowned and said, "We have gathered heavy troops to defeat Horse City, but they have taken the initiative to advance!" He asked, "Can you figure out how many people there are?" ”

"The news that Tanma got was at least above 10,000 people, and the people stationed in Gucheng were all Northwest Cavalry." The man who went out just now: "But this should not be all their soldiers and horses, since they sent troops, it should be the cavalry that should be stationed in Gucheng first, and the foot soldiers will follow behind with grain and grass!" ”

"The fortified city is only three or four days away from us, and we can't easily withdraw our troops at this time." Kou Ying Zhengse said: "Big brother, please make a quick decision, I implore the eldest brother to hand over a piece of troops and horses, I will go to block the enemy, the eldest brother will lead the army to retreat as soon as possible, if they really come out, once they hand it over, there will be no chance to withdraw the troops." ”

Someone stepped forward and said urgently: "Big brother, the second brother said well, Dianshuai passed away, the dragons over there in Liaodong have no leader, after a long time, there will inevitably be big changes, if the eldest brother can't return to Liaodong in time, it must be a fire in the backyard, at that time the front was entangled by the Northwest Army, and the back was on fire, our Liaodong Army!" He sighed, "It's too late to regret it." ”

As soon as this person said this, the other people also echoed it, and they were even more humane: "Big brother, the current chaos in Liaodong can only be cleaned up if the eldest brother goes back, and the electric marshal is gone, and the responsibility for stabilizing the situation in Liaodong is none other than the eldest brother, and please take the overall situation first and withdraw the troops quickly." ”

Kou Ying also said with a stern expression: "Big brother, you can't hesitate any longer. ”

Mo Wuyi thought for a while, and finally said: "Since all the brothers say so, Kou Ying, the cavalry will be handed over to you, no matter what, we must ensure that the whole army withdraws safely, after we withdraw the troops, we will deploy defenses in Yanshan, as long as you can smoothly pull all the soldiers and horses across Yanshan, and the defense is properly deployed, you can lead the troops to evacuate." ”

Kou Ying arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Chu Huan garrisoned the fortified city, almost all the cavalry on hand had already entered the fortified city, the population of the fortified city was already withered, tens of thousands of horses were stationed in the city, and the whole city still seemed very empty.

The few people in the city had already taken refuge in their houses as soon as possible, and the doors were closed, and the soldiers and horses arrived, and the war began, and the people secretly prayed in their homes that they would be able to escape this fate, although they knew that if the fight really began, such hopes would hardly be achieved.

There are many wars in the north, from ancient times to the present, all dynasties and dynasties, there are many disasters and wars, and in every war, there are many people who suffer from poison, their wives are scattered, and countless people are broken.

Chu Huan's ass in the city was not yet hot, and he received the war letter sent by the Liaodong Army, and the speed of the war book was so fast that even Chu Huan was slightly surprised.

This time, Chu Huan rode out, and many fierce generals were also gathered under his command, Gu Liangchen, Wolf Wazi, Qin Lei, Wei Tianqing and others all came with the army.

The tactics were passed on to a few people, and Chu Huan frowned and said, "What does Liaodong mean?" ”

On the Liaodong War Book, it is also very simple to write, it is nothing more than to hear that the Northwest Iron Cavalry is powerful in the world, but it is an exaggeration, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is ready to compete with the Northwest Iron Cavalry to determine the victory or defeat.

Wei Tianqing glanced at it and said with a dumb smile: "When did Liaodong become so naïve?" "Because this challenge is more like a reckless duel than a march.

"The Liaodong Army is all battle-hardened, as far as this king knows, the current commander of the Liaodong Army is Mo Wuyi, Mo Wuyi is the head of the thirty-six cavalry in Liaodong, and he is the cronies of Red Liandian!"

"If it's the No. 1 henchman under Red Refining Electric, we can't underestimate him." Gu Liangchen said: "It's just that there is no payment on this challenge book, is it Mo Wuyi?" ”

"No matter who issued this war letter, it seems naïve, but it will never be so simple, there must be a reason for it." Chu Huan said thoughtfully: "They took the initiative to challenge, and it was when we just entered Gucheng, so the timing was very strange!" ”

Wei Tianqing frowned and said: "Although the battle book proposes to set up a battle to fight the male and female, but there is no set date, is there any trickery?" ”

"Whatever the ruse, let's send scouts to keep an eye on them." Chu Huan sneered: "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, we are not here to watch the scenery, if they really want to fight with us, give them a blow to the head, and kill their spirit." He instructed: "Send someone to pay close attention to the movements of the Liaodong Army, and report the slightest movement at any time." ”

In the early morning of winter, the cold wind is biting, and the snow for many days has finally stopped, and the mountains and rivers are covered in silver, although the weather is clear, but the sun is still blocked by thick clouds.

Early in the morning, Kou Ying commanded more than 20,000 horsemen to ride out of the city and advance towards the solid city.

At almost the same time, Mo Wuyi began to gather the remaining troops and prepare to evacuate the city, and in addition, he had already sent someone to inform the follow-up teams to stop pouring into Hexi and turn back.

Liaodong iron cavalry, divided into three horses, red preparation cavalry, yellow armor tiger cavalry and black armor wolf cavalry, 3,000 red preparation, 8,000 tiger cavalry, more than 30,000 wolf cavalry, the total establishment of more than 40,000 people, this is the standing division of Liaodong cavalry, known as 100,000 iron cavalry to the outside world.

Half of the Chibei cavalry stayed in Liaodong to defend the town, and the cavalry led by Kou Ying was mainly composed of yellow-armored tiger cavalry and black-armored wolf cavalry, among which the equipment and combat effectiveness of the yellow-armored tiger cavalry were above the black-armored wolf cavalry.

Although it did not gather all the more than 40,000 cavalry in Liaodong, the 25,000 iron cavalry, looking at the world, is already difficult to have opponents, and this is also the main force of the Liaodong cavalry.

The pennant was unfurled, hunting in the wind, and the Liaodong Army was lined up neatly, after all, they were the elite divisions trained by the Red Refining Electric, with strict discipline, and the killing atmosphere was colder than ice and snow.

This time, not only did Kou Ying lead his troops to block the enemy, but among the thirty-six horsemen, Kou Ying selected more than ten people to stay as assistance.

The distance between the city and the city is not too far, even on this day of winter snow, the road is difficult to travel, if you travel day and night non-stop, you can reach it in about two days.

Kou Ying naturally did not rush to Gucheng, and when he left the city, he had already sent people to Pegasus to send out the war book, but the Liaodong cavalry marched slowly, and went out of the city for a day, but only walked dozens of miles.

At dusk, Kou Ying immediately ordered the whole army to go to camp.

Soon a charcoal fire was lit in the camp, Kou Ying held a fire stick, and gently danced the burning charcoal fire, and soon, the big tent was opened, and a person came in, saying: "Second brother, the camp tent has been installed, and I have sent people to patrol the vicinity to guard against the northwest army attacking the camp." However, there is still a lot of way to go from Gucheng, and the Northwest Army should not be able to attack lightly. ”

"Sixth, come over and bake the fire." Kou Ying glanced at the man and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to send the war letter, Chu Huan is only afraid that he is guessing what kind of reputation we are going to make, and he will not act rashly." By the way, has the Grain and Grass team kept up? ”

"Second brother, the soldiers of the whole army, each of them has distributed dry food for five days, we have walked less road today, and the food team behind should be able to keep up in the middle of the night today." The sixth brother sat down by the fire and said with a smile: "It's still the second brother, there is not much food in the city, and the second brother can still get these grains and grass, which is enough for our soldiers to eat for more than 20 days." He asked, "Second brother, will we speed up the march tomorrow?" ”

"Speed up the march?" Kou Ying glanced at the sixth elder, "Sixth, you are smart and confused, why do you want to speed up the march?" Do you really want to fight the Northwest Army? ”
