On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Gao Jichong met the envoy of Zhao Song. As expected, he came to pass the road, so he agreed without hesitation. If he wanted to take Jiangling, there were many roads from the land where he borrowed the road to Jiangling City, Gao Jichong was too lazy to guess and was preparing directly in Jiangling City. If the Song army really wanted to occupy Jiangling, he would give him a surprise.

Five days later, the ice and snow melted and the ground was no longer muddy. General Murong Yanzhao personally led 50,000 elite troops to the Han River to meet with the 6,000 light cavalry led by Li Chuyun.

"Murong Dutong, I have been waiting for a long time." Li Chuyun even quit the title of general and directly called him an official title. Now Murong Yanzhao is the commander of the camp and he is the commander. Although Murong Yanzhao is nominally superior to him, the governor of the governor is mainly to monitor him, and in fact he can be considered equal. Besides, Zhao Kuangyin arranged the combat strategy very carefully, and both of them act according to the rules, and there is nothing to do with them at any time.

"Although Li Dujian came early, I was not late, so let's go." Murong Yanzhao was too lazy to talk to Li Chuyun, to finish the work as soon as possible, and to return to Kaifeng to report the work.

"Report! General, ten miles ahead, Nanping officials arranged people to reward the army." Murong Yanzhao was very careful. After all, it was not in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the scouts were released far away.

"Tell the other party that the army is about to arrive, and I will thank them in person." Murong Yanzhao had already expected that all he had to do was to appease the other party and let them relax their vigilance from Nanping. As for the sneak attack, it was handed over to Li Chuyun.

Murong Yanzhao led an army of 50,000, and there were more than 10,000 people transporting food and supplies in the rear. He was swaying towards Xionghe Town. Xionghe Town is the largest town in the south of Jiangling Prefecture. There are markets and checkpoints in the village. It is about 70 miles away from Jiangling City. Gao Jichong sent a Changshi Wencheng to wait here, preparing enough food for a hundred thousand troops to eat and drink, striving to make the other party unable to find an excuse.

Murong Yanzhao was not polite. He should eat and drink. Even the box of jewelry that Chief Wencheng filial to him was still in charge, without any pressure. Li Chuyun was the one who attacked Jiangling, and it had nothing to do with him. It was true that he was the governor of the government, but he couldn't control the governor.

Before Li Chuyun arrived in Jicheng Township, he took the light cavalry north and headed straight to Jiangling City along the path. No matter how you hide, it is impossible to completely hide your eyes and hear it. As for scouts, there is no need. In this world, who can push his six thousand cavalry directly over.

The cavalry did not walk on the official road, but took the nearest path. There were many people on the road. Seeing such a large cavalry team, they all knelt down on the side of the road, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads, for fear that the other party would let an arrow go and would not be able to seek justice even if they died.

More than half an hour later, Li Chuyun and a team of confidants stood on the top of the mountain. Jiangling City was already in sight, but only two miles away, it arrived in an instant.

"General, rush." ​​The deputy cavalry general on the side looked at the distance and rushed over for about half a quarter of an hour. Can the opponent close the city gate? Half to half, it is worth a bet.

"Wait a minute, see if the caravan is not there. When they arrive at the city gate, they will rush again." Li Chuyun pointed to the caravan not far from the city gate. There were more than 20 people and three carriages. When they arrived at the door, their cavalry rushed over, and they would definitely be even more panicked and they could buy more time.

"Run!" Seeing the caravan reaching the city, Li Chuyun made a quick decision. The three hundred cavalry, the most elite cavalry, rushed towards Jiangling City like a wild horse, like a flood. Li Chuyun was quite satisfied and nodded constantly. This was built by the Song Dynasty for a lot of money, with great combat power.

Even if you can't compare with the Khitan cavalry, you will be not far behind.

The guards at the city gate found the traces of the cavalry and immediately closed the door. But the caravan quit and had to enter the city no matter what. They were not stupid. The cavalry came in full force, and staying outside might be a dead end.

After some pulling, the caravan finally entered the city. At the moment when the city gate was slowly closed, the three hundred cavalry led by him arrived. There was no fancy, and he didn't even put down his bows and arrows, and he directly rushed towards the city gate with his men and horses.

The soldier who was closing the city gate was as if he was hit by a catapult and was directly knocked out by the city gate. After landing, he rolled and crawled towards the back.

After taking down the city gate, the three hundred elite soldiers did not continue to rush. Their mission was to take down the city gate. The mission had been completed. As long as all the subsequent cavalry entered the city, even if they succeeded, their first achievements would be obtained. In total, only three horses were sold, and they would take down the city gate. This deal was a good deal!

The cavalry rushed towards the city like a tide, and Li Chuyun was also in it. When passing by the city gate, he did not forget to compete with the deputy general and did a beautiful job.

Li Chuyun had already obtained the map of Jiangling City. Every team leader under his command had a clear understanding of the roads in Jiangling City. As long as he walked along this avenue, he could reach the governor's mansion and take Gao Jichong, and the battle would be over.

"What happened?" Just as Li Chuyun was thinking about what to do with Gao Jichong, the cavalry team suddenly stopped.

"General, a wall in front blocks the way." The vanguard cavalry returned to report.

"Then let's take a detour, forget the road?" Li Chuyun felt that why these people were so stupid? If they delayed, Gao Jichong would run away. If Gao Jichong lost, he would lose half of the credit.

"There is no road. The roads that should have on both sides were blocked." The cavalry said. This was a bit strange. The wall was obviously not just made. They smashed it with heavy weapons. It was very strong and ten feet tall. Without a ladder, they couldn't get up at all.

"No, retreat quickly!" Li Chuyun slapped his head. Isn't this a simple version of the urn? Gao Ji Chong is so damn, so he must want to catch me. Bah! He is a general. Fortunately, there are many elite cavalry left at the door, and there is finally a way out. As long as you get faster, there should be little loss.

Just as Li Chuyun turned his horse's head and was about to rush back, behind the houses on both sides, rows of archers were hunched, taking their bows and arrows one after another.

"Go!" Before Li Chuyun could drive his horse, the cavalry on both sides began to stir up. The cavalry behind who had not yet had time to turn around suddenly became a mess, and many cavalry were thrown off their horses and allowed to trample on the horses.

"Stop!" Li Chuyun shouted, but it was useless. The cavalry went around him and ran towards the back. Everyone was not stupid. The other party was about to shoot the bow, and if he didn't run, he would become a target. As for stepping, who told him to react slowly? This is also a kind of survival of the fittest.

"General, go quickly." The personal soldiers urged him. Although they were fully armored and were not afraid of ordinary feather arrows, who knew whether the other party had a strong crossbow.

"Let's go!" Li Chuyun hated her a lot. Such a trampling is probably greater than the damage caused by a crossbow.

"Swoosh~swoosh~swoosh~swoosh" Just as Li Chuyun retreated, the powerful crossbow of Jingnan Army came roaring. Li Chuyun only heard the sound and knew that there were many powerful crossbows. All he could do was to put his whole body on the back of the horse, and urge the horse under his crotch to run faster.

Li Chuyun's personal soldiers have followed him for many years

Brother, just as Li Chuyun was lying down, they straightened their backs and could block more feather arrows for him. A road that was only three meters wide, with archers on both sides easily causing damage to most cavalrymen with light armor, but most of them were not fatal. If they stood at a high place, they could see that many cavalrymen were shot in their bodies, but they didn't care at all and rushed towards the city gate. There was a way out when they rushed out. As for whether the wound would ulcerate and die, they couldn't think so much about it for the time being.

Li Chuyun had only one idea in his mind, which was to find Murong Yanzhao and destroy Nanping first. Although he didn't know why the other party had made sufficient preparations in advance, since the sneak attack failed, the city could not be captured by the cavalry. The greatest power of the cavalry was speed, field battles, sieges and street battles, which was useless.

According to Li Chuyun's estimate, these cavalrymen who were rushing to escape had to run out of the city and stop. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the city gate, he saw the cavalry surrounding him. Li Chuyun sat upright and looked into the distance. The Jingnan Army had already arranged a battle formation outside the city. If they wanted to survive, they had to break through.

"A dog that is lost!" Gao Jichong rode a tall horse and stood behind the battle formation with five hundred cavalry, holding a bright silver spear in his hand, and was full of energy. Zhao Song's six thousand elite cavalry broke into Jiangling City. He Gao Jichong was about to step on their corpses and became famous all over the world.

Li Chuyun also saw Gao Jichong and was a little dissatisfied. The boy who was still young was just a light cavalry and took his way. The cavalry under his command were all starting to re-arrange the troops. In the open land outside the city, he was sure to fight for a bloody path.

"You guys, for the sake of the Song Dynasty and the officials, follow me!" Li Chuyun, a veteran of his army for half his life, had never seen any scene. Now he has more than 5,000 cavalry under his command, and only more than 10,000 infantry on the other side, just drill through. If the other party is honestly guarding the city, Li Chuyun really has no choice but to go to Murong Yanzhao. He is young and energetic and does not know how terrible the cavalry is.

Although the distance is not enough to maximize the power of the cavalry, the cavalry is ultimately a cavalry. Even if it is a heavy armored infantry, even if it is a horse-resisting, it is not enough to stop the cavalry's pace.

The cavalry, the first cavalry, raised their hands and long swords, and rushed into the opponent's army. The big knife slashed the opponent's shield, and the opponent's shield broke in response, but it was not broken in the end. The soldiers of Jingnan were not idle either, and the spear stabbed at it. How could the cavalry's wallet block block the spear head made of iron? The spear head came out from his back with blood. As the opponent pulled, the cavalry felt that he had been hollowed out and he was completely relieved.

This scene can be seen everywhere on the battlefield. In order to open the horse-resisted cavalry, they naturally had to pay a price. It is estimated that the other party had arranged all the crossbowmen in the city, but there was no battle formation outside the city.

Li Chuyun has experienced many battles and has a vicious vision. He keeps looking for the weakness of the opponent's battle formation and tearing the opponent's defense apart. The heavy armored infantry that was originally waiting for the formation gradually could only run away.

"Our glory is today, please encourage us!" Gao Jichong had no hope of relying on these infantrymen to eat all the opponent's cavalry. He was about to be killed by the opponent, and that was the time for him to fight.
Chapter completed!
