By daybreak, the snow had already stopped, and the wind blew, scattering the snow grains.

Listening to the rustling sound in the snow from afar, as if there was a strange whirlwind, approaching from afar, the strange sound became more and more majestic, startling the birds and beasts in the morning light, and then listening carefully, only to realize that it was countless horses running in the snow.

A dozen people with black cloaks and black armor rode over the hill and appeared in the field of vision, slamming into it, as if a black tide poured out from the far distance of the field of vision. Then more than 100 horsemen and hundreds of horsemen rushed to come, spreading out for several miles, and the momentum was very amazing.

At present, dozens of horsemen are clustered around a big flag, a scarlet flag, and the words "Deputy Commander of the Xun Leopard Battalion of the Huaidong Military Division" are written on their faces, unfolding in the morning light in the wind, and hunting sounds. Between the blue mountains and forests, swords, bows, guns and halberds are like forests, and the murderous aura that rushes like thunder comes with the tide of war horses.

Sun Zhuang led more than 1,000 horsemen as the front wing, at the beginning of the march with the army, to dawn, when passing Xiao County, only to accelerate sharply, fast horses and whips to the northwest of Xuzhou, in order to control the situation around Jiuli Mountain one step ahead, the scouts who are not belonging to Huaiyang, all of them are driven out from around Jiuli Mountain, and also to avoid the main force of the army from colliding with Yan Lu Bishi without defense.

Even if Chen Hansan might send troops and horses to lurk on the road to the southern foot of Jiuli Mountain at night, Sun Zhuang, as the vanguard front wing, was bound to step out of the possible ambush.

The speed of Zhou Zhizhong's southward movement was not slow, and the 20,000-step cavalry came out of Shouzhang, and the soldiers and horses of the Liang clan in Caozhou and Jining did not dare to move, and arrived in Pei County in two days and two nights.

Pei County belongs to Xuzhou, as promised, Zhou Zhizhong left troops to guard Pei County as a way out, the army passed through Pei County, and went to the Wei Miaopo in the northwest of Xuzhou City for more than 30 miles, and then stopped the troops, only sent two thousand horsemen as the front drive, and came to Jiuli Mountain.

Jiuli Mountain has nine miles from east to west, but the mountain is thin, the two front wings collided at the southwest foot of Jiuli Mountain, Sun Zhuang also just arrived at the north bank of the Jingma River, watching the enemy cavalry twice as large as them only took a short time to fill up the small place at the southwest foot of Jiuli Mountain, Chen Hansan sent the scouts scattered on the left and withdrew in a panic.

The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road - Liu Miaozhen intends to lure the snake out of the hole, Yan Yu is partial to the teacher, Chen Han Sanshi does not dare to go out of the city alone to fight, but the situation around the southwest foot of Jiuli Mountain has to be controlled first.

Sun Zhuang didn't think that he had to avoid his edge when he had few soldiers, fastened his belt tightly, changed to a war horse, put the horse lance in front of him, looked left and right, pointed to the Xuzhou City Tower exposed in the mist, and said: "Chen Hansan is a two-faced villain, he and I have an agreement to trap and kill Hu Gou, but the adults have already concluded that Chen Hansan has already been rebellious, and he is bound to pretend to be a real pretend, collude with Hu Gou, and trap our teacher - it is a trap, and we will also step on it with a smile." If anyone dares to stand in front of us, what should we do? ”

"Kill!" More than 1,000 people behind him shouted in unison.

"Chen Hansan is a villain repeatedly, if he copies my flank, everyone, what should I do?"

"Kill!"

"In order to make Hu Gou from now on, when I hear the name of my Sun Zhuang and Er Xun Leopard Rider, I will be frightened, and today I should kill his mother's shit and urine - everyone, listen to my orders, get on the horse, and fight!"

More than 1,000 people responded to the promise and got on the horse one after another.

From yesterday afternoon out of Huaiyang to Xuzhou, a hundred miles of travel took 12 hours, people and horses will not be tired, except for the current more than 100 horses to change to new horses, in order to benefit the conflict, other generals do not have the conditions to change horses.

"Zhao Bao!"

When Lin Lian first rose, Zhao Bao was a seventeen-year-old boy, at this time, he was a strong man, and Zhou Blind, Zhou Pu and others learned knife and gun archery, used a long knife on the horse, rode and shot well, heard the order to drive the horse out, and the leader commanded: "The end will be!" ”

"You lead two hundred people to protect my right flank, in case Chen Hansan's dog thief sends troops out of the northern city to copy my flank......"

"Order!" Zhao Bao responded.

"One-eyed!"

The strong man carrying the flag behind Sun Zhuang drove out of the horse, his surname was Fan, Mingxian, but few people knew his real name, he had followed Sun Zhuang for many years, and lost his left eye in the chaotic melee, and everyone called him "the only eye of the domain". Sun Zhuang used him as the flag officer, carried the battle flag unfolded in the wind on his left shoulder, and held the waist knife in his crotch in his right hand.

"You carry the flag and follow me, half a step is not feasible, even if I fall off the horse, the battle flag still can't fall, you have to dance more majestic, do you know?"

"Yes!"

Sun Zhuang took the reins in his pocket, crossed the horse sideways, and shouted: "Put the bow on your back, raise the knife, clamp the gun tightly, there is no time to tease these grandsons, and directly rush to kill his mother's ......" Without the slightest fear, Chen Hansan peeked at the side, and the enemy cavalry was twice as strong as him, and he took the lead, galloped, and rushed to the enemy team to kill.

When the light cavalry met, most of them were tested with bows and arrows, but Jiuli Mountain was close to Xuzhou City, and Chen Hansan would send troops out of the city to attack at any time, and Sun Zhuang did not have much time to calmly test the enemy. At this time, if you don't win, you will win = lose, and you can't take the first step to kill the more than 2,000 Yanyu cavalry who entered Jiuli Mountain, and this battle will be regarded as losing the most important opportunity.

As long as the front flank of the captives is forced back first, Liu Miaozhen can lead the main force into Jiuli Mountain with less threat and establish a stable position, and prepare for the next big battle.

Zhou Zhizhong sent the front wing cavalry to Xuanzhen to surrender to Zhou Fan, Zhou Zhizhong did not advance in Weimiaopo, he had the intention of waiting and watching Chen Hansan, Chen Hansan's troops did not fight, Zhou Zhizhong and his subordinates included Zhou Fan, how could the fighting spirit be firm?

Seeing Sun Zhuang leading the crowd to stab like a big cone, Zhou Fan's brows frowned, this situation has not allowed him to wait and see, Huaidong rushed to the south of Jiuli Mountain and the soldiers and horses put on a life-and-death situation, so that he is really difficult to make a decision - if his troops are stationary, although there is a chance to shoot a round of arrow rain first, but after a round of arrow rain, it will inevitably give Huaidong cavalry a high-speed crash into the formation to cover up. If you don't want to use the cavalry formation to hedge the cavalry formation, spread out as two teams, avoid the edge and attack the flank......

Although Zhou Fan had no intention of recklessly fighting a decisive battle, and the road close to Xuzhou City was blocked, unless he turned around and fled, the situation could not be controlled by him.

The cavalry led by Sun Zhuang unfolded what seemed to be the most advantageous conical formation, but in fact it was slightly different - Sun Zhuang was brave and brave, and he was accustomed to leading dozens or more than a hundred elite cavalry to take the lead in rampage, and it was also the cone of the entire conical cavalry formation.

Different from the traditional cone formation, Sun Zhuang and more than 100 elite cavalry are the cones, but in the process of unfolding, the cone part will lag slightly, and when the two armies engage, there will be a considerable amount of space for the rear army to change the formation to cope with the changes in the battle situation.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry was divided into two teams, Sun Zhuang led more than 100 cavalry to rampage without making changes, but under the leadership of the two cavalry generals, the rear formation was divided into two teams and galloped left and right, forming a battle situation with two wings after two wings. The more than 100 cavalry led by Sun Zhuang can flexibly attack the flank of the enemy's cavalry.

The hooves stepped on the snow and flew, and the snow particles flew and the eyes were lost, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of riders were entangled together......

The Huaidong cavalry was in the north of Huaiyang, and the Yanhu outpost rangers fought many times, although the number was small, the elite of the combat power has long been obvious to all.

In the early morning, the mist gradually dispersed, Chen Hansan stood at the head of the city, looking at the battlefield at the southwest foot of Jiuli Mountain, the front wing cavalry sent by Zhou Zhizhong did not have a ruthless decision to fight to the death at this time, and there was a sense of retreat at the beginning of the battle, the two armies collided in one place, and the front wing of Zhou Zhizhong's department was broken into several pieces, and after a moment of fighting, he could not support, and he was scattered and retreated, wanting to get rid of the entanglement and get out of the battlefield at the southwest foot of Jiuli Mountain.

Sun Zhuang fought too hard and too fast, although Chen Hansan had already prepared the only two thousand cavalry under his command under the city gate cave and was ready to fight at any time, but before he made a decision, the front wing cavalry sent by Zhou Zhizhong already had the intention of leaving the battlefield......

Moreover, the red-jacketed woman led the main force more than 20 miles away from Jiuli Mountain, and Chen Hansan was also worried that if she went to battle too early, the red-jacketed woman would lead her troops to shrink in Xiao County.

It is strange that Huaiyang is only 100 miles away from Xuzhou, and the main force led by the woman in the red jacket is coerced by nearly 1,000 carts of baggage.

Chen Hansan looked at Ma Zhen: "It seems that the Huaidong Army has no intention of our troops going out of the city to cooperate with them, it seems that the plan will not be successful!" ”

Ma Zhen also frowned, and said suspiciously: "The soldiers and horses who go out of Huaiyang with the red jacket girl will not exceed 20,000, and Huaidong will enter Xuzhou with 20,000 soldiers and horses, is it possible that he is sure to eat us to death?" ”

"And no matter what, I won't delay until the red-jacketed female soldiers come to the city to make a decision!" Chen Hansan is also a single, and when he saw that the opportunity was wrong, he decided to immediately send troops out of the city to fight Sun Zhuang first, so that Zhou Zhizhong knew that it was not easy for him to throw himself into Yan, and he couldn't let Zhou Zhizhong give Sun Zhuang more than 1,000 horsemen to rush and kill and scare back, and at that time, he would fall into the passivity of advancing and retreating.

Chen Hansan and the generals walked down the city tower, on the inside of the north city gate, two thousand cavalry were assembled and standby, but Chen Hansan had not yet made it clear in front of the ordinary people to throw Yan in front of the people, he climbed the high platform, and asked loudly: "Zhu Erlang was recruited by the imperial court with me, and he has been guarding Xuzhou for two years, and he has not been out of the half-point difference pool, but he eats worse than his mother's, drinks thinner than his mother's, and takes less than his mother's. ”

"Grievance!" Some generals in the cavalry team knew Chen Hansan's thoughts of leading the crowd to join Yan, and they spoke out to encourage the generals to echo Chen Hansan.

"We and Huaidong were originally friendly troops, but for several years, Huaidong guarded us like a big enemy, this time I was determined to work with Huaidong to kill the enemy, but his mother's Huaidong army came, without saying hello, he left us aside, speaking of which, look at us in the heart, Zhu Erlang, do you feel good?"

"It's uncomfortable!"

"Some old brothers have been with me for more than ten years, we are like brothers, eat and drink spicy, as long as I have a share of Chen Hansan, I will never treat you badly. Zhu Erlang, and say that over the years, have I, Chen Hansan, treated you badly? ”

"Never."

"There is a splendid avenue paved in front, stepping on the glory and wealth, and enjoying it endlessly, I Chen Hansan dare not enjoy it alone, Zhuerlang, will you follow me?"

"Go to the soup with the marshal, never give up in death, glory is the same glory, death is the same cave!"

Not only did the more than 2,000 horsemen under the city shout in unison, but the other defenders above and below the city also shouted together, which was about to reverse together.

"Zhu Erlang, you will follow me to the Yue Dynasty today, defeat the Huaidong Army first, make that name, serve Dayan, and change the bright future!" Chen Hansan pulled out his waist knife and pointed at the high pole at the head of the city, and shouted, "Change the flag!" ”

When the flag officer heard the order, he lowered the banner of "Dayue Xuzhou System Envoy Chen" and replaced it with a Xuanhei wolf-headed battle flag embroidered with the words "Da Yan Southern Expedition to Return to the Righteous Former Army Capital Chen".

After the battle flag was changed, Chen Hansan ordered 2,000 cavalry to go out of the city to fight, even if the main force of Liu Miaozhen's department was scared away, he must first and safely welcome Zhou Zhizhong's troops into Xuzhou City, and jointly resist the counterattack that the Huaidong Army may come later.
