    On the horizon, the newly born red sun gradually drives away the dark night, and the entire earth seems to be covered with a colorful golden garment. In this early morning, which is supposed to be a one-day plan, a hussar rides through the smoke and dust.  , but it destroyed this rare beautiful scenery.

    ¡°Drive it¡ª!¡±

    ¡°Drive¡ª¡ª!¡±

    ¡°Tap tap tap tap¡ª¡ª!¡±

    Accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves, a cavalry army came rushing from a distance. The cavalry in the army were all dusty and in a miserable state.

    Suddenly, the leading general raised his arms and shouted, and immediately, the whole army of cavalry stopped one after another.

    ¡°Susu¡ª¡ª!¡±

    The strong wind blew the flags of this cavalry army rustling. After looking at the flags carefully, I realized that they were clearly the Ma Dan Army, the partial division of the Second Army of the Jizhou Army that had made a big splash in the battle below the city of Ji Jing two days ago.

    How could the world not have thought that the majestic Lord of Northern Xinjiang and the Overlord of the Grasslands, King Yan Li Mao, would encounter such a setback in Jijing. He clearly commanded a Northern Xinjiang army of 70,000 to 80,000 people, but was actually defeated by Ma Dan, the general of the Jizhou Army.  The 10,000 cavalrymen were thoroughly fooled.

    Of course, Ma Dan actually paid a heavy price for this. Not only did he sacrifice nearly 2,000 army sergeants under Hebei City, he was also chased by 40,000 Yuyang cavalry dispatched by the entire army for thirteen days.  What's more, the furious King Li Mao of Yan sent three generals, Cao Da, Zhang Qi, and You Dou, to chase him.

    With 40,000 Yuyang cavalry and three Northern Xinjiang generals, it is not difficult to guess that King Yan Li Mao was determined to capture and kill Ma Dan in retaliation for Ma Dan playing tricks on him outside the city of Hebei that day.

    "Huh!" Ma Dan let out a long breath, reined in the horse's reins with one hand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other hand.  It has to be said that these thirteen days of fleeing really made him very tired.

    "Have a drink of water!" Lieutenant General Wu Xing threw a water bag over.

    Raising his hand to catch the water bag thrown by Wu Xing, Ma Dan took several sips in a row.  He immediately wiped the water stains on his mouth and said loudly, "Young men, you may not know when the Yuyang cavalry will catch up from behind, so hurry up and rest!"

    "Yes. General" the cavalry in the army responded weakly.

    It¡¯s not that they disobey military orders, it¡¯s just that for the past thirteen days, they have been chasing for their lives day and night under the pursuit of 40,000 Yuyang cavalry. Not to mention their energy is haggard, and even their will is on the verge of collapse.  Perhaps at this moment, what the Second Sergeants wanted most was to have a pleasant sleep.

    "It's a pity that their hope is destined to be difficult to realize."  After all, there is an unbeatable enemy like 40,000 Yuyang Iron Cavalry hanging behind them. Once the pursuers behind them catch up, it is not difficult to imagine what will happen.  After all, in a real fight, the 10,000 Ma Dan Army would not be a match for the 40,000 Yuyang Iron Cavalry. Even if there were only 10,000 Yuyang Iron Cavalry, the Ma Dan Army would not have even a slight chance of winning.  To know.  Although the Jizhou Army was the elite force that wiped out the Three Kings in the west and the Taiping Army in the east, don't forget that the Yuyang Iron Cavalry was the Jiujiu Iron Cavalry that conquered the entire grassland. In comparison, the Jizhou Army was still inferior to the Yuyang Iron Cavalry.  Yang Tieqi some.

    "Zhang Qi, Cao Da, Yudouare those three guys monsters?" Ma Dan looked back behind him with some worry, and said with a wry smile, "They have been chasing our army for thirteen days.  Right? Don¡¯t those guys need a rest? If we continue like this, let alone we can¡¯t get rid of them, we may even be dragged down by them"

    Wu Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard this, and said with some admiration, "As expected of the Yuyang cavalry, they are completely different from the empty cavalry of the Taiping Army If it weren't for our army's understanding of the terrain in Anping Kingdom,  The terrain is very familiar, and I am afraid that our army has already been overtaken by those Yuyang cavalry and killed Speaking of which, we were too flamboyant at the foot of Jijing City that day, which is not in line with the style of our second army at all!"

    Hearing this, Ma Dan couldn't help but reveal a somewhat inexplicable smile.

    Indeed, in fact, Ma Dan attacked the formation of the Northern Xinjiang army at the foot of Jijing City that day.  The process during this period is extremely dangerous, and if you don't do anything right, you will be surrounded, which will directly lead to the annihilation of the entire army.  After all, both armies led by Ma Dan were cavalry. If the cavalry lost their speed, they might be even more powerless than the infantry.  It is said that the mounted soldiers are cavalry and the dismounted soldiers are infantry. That is just the Shenwu Camp of the Eastern Army, and looking at the entire world, there is only one Shenwu Camp of the Eastern Army.

    Logically speaking, only Liao Li would have carried out such an impulsive and irrational charge regardless of the consequences. Even Fei Guo would have weighed the pros and cons.  In fact, even Ma Dan didn't know why he gave the order to charge at that time.

    "Who told Li Mao to bully others too much and treat our two armies as if they were nothing?!" At this time, the heroic general Su Xin rode over and said what Ma Dan was thinking.

    Beside Su Xin, Li Jing had a look on his face.??A bitter smile that is as unique as Wu Xing's.

    Su Xin and Li Jing, the two generals of the Jizhou Army who were conquered by Xie An during his western expedition to Luoyang and Chang'an rebels, have now also been appointed to the positions of Fenwei and Fenwu captains. After many battles, they were transferred to  After the Second Army, he was highly regarded by Ma Dan.  Even in the past few days, Ma Dan cooperated with Su Xin and broke into the hinterland of the Northern Xinjiang army in one fell swoop, disrupting the formation of the Northern Xinjiang army into a pot of porridge.

    Of course, it was precisely because he saw the talents of Su Xin and Li Jing in commanding cavalry that Xie An transferred them to the second army, which was composed entirely of light cavalry, for the use of the army commander Ma Dan.

    "That's right!" Ma Dan smiled brightly, slapped Su Xin on the back vigorously, and said loudly, "Just to show the strength of our army to those northern barbarians who look down on our second army!"

    In Ma Dan's opinion, with Tang Hao, Zhang Dong, Ou Peng, Cheng Yang and other generals of the Jizhou Army, Generals Su Xin and Li Jing cannot be said to be the strongest or most outstanding generals in the Jizhou Army.  But their overall strength is quite outstanding, especially their ability to lead cavalry in combat.  The addition of these two brave generals immediately improved the flexibility and maneuverability of Ma Dan's second army by several levels.  After all, only he and Wu Xing played the role of "axe" or "yue". Now with the addition of Su Xin and Li Jing, it is easier to dazzle the enemy when using [Che Xuan: Ax and Yue Formation]. I don't know.  Which cavalry detachment is a feint attack and which cavalry detachment is the real killing move? The use of tactics becomes more flexible.

    To put it bluntly, even if Zhang Dong of the Jizhou Army's First Army, or even Tang Hao, the deputy commander of the main division, were replaced by Generals Su Xin and Li Jing.  Ma Dan was not willing to give up either.  Unless it was Liao Li, a general who could take on any position, but Ma Dan also knew in his heart that with Liao Li's talent, he would never be able to succumb to him.

    Su Xin was originally a cheerful and active general, and he seemed to be inspired when he was patted on the back by Ma Dan.  With his face flushed, he said smugly, "It's really fun! Our second army only relied on ten thousand people to attack the Northern Xinjiang army's seventy or eighty thousand troops I have lived in vain for so long, but I have never been so happy. It's a pity.  Mr. Xie never saw it" At the end of his sentence, he smacked his lips with a hint of regret.

    ??Looking at Su Xin looking like he was asking for credit.  Li Jing sighed slightly and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the military sergeant who was watching not far away shouting in a somewhat alert tone, "Here we come, the Yuyang cavalry are chasing us!"

    "You won't stop for a moment" Ma Dan, who had just drank a few sips of water, frowned slightly, with a bit of depression and a bit of a wry smile.  He murmured, "These Yuyang cavalrydo they need to be like this?"

    Next to him, Lieutenant General Wu Xing smiled when he heard this, raised his hand to greet the army sergeants, and shouted in a deep voice, "Let's go, men!"

    "Oh¡ª¡ª!" The cavalrymen of the second division of the Jizhou Army shouted.  Everyone looked quite haggard, but the cohesion of the army was quite strong.

    No wonder, after all, they already have an intuition for honor.  When they swaggered out of the Northern Xinjiang Army and fled under the pursuit of 40,000 Yuyang cavalry, the Second Army of the Jizhou Army had already become famous, and there was no doubt that it would become the talk of the world in the next few years. After all,  Not just any army can defeat the Yan King Li Mao, the overlord of northern Xinjiang and the overlord of the grassland.

    The sense of honor, this ethereal and intangible thing, can to some extent strengthen the cohesion and willpower of an army until it is severely defeated by another strong army.  Just like the Southern Army who was severely defeated by Liang Qiuhao and fell into the camp.

    "Set off!"

    "Whoa whoa¡ª¡ª!"

    Raising his arms and shouting, Ma Dan led the second legion of the Jizhou Army and marched towards Yunjing Mountain in Anping Kingdom.

    And just a moment after Ma Dan and the others left, three Northern Xinjiang generals including Zhang Qi, Cao Da, and You Dou arrived with as many as 40,000 Yuyang cavalry.

    Looking at the grassland that had obviously been trampled by horse hooves, Zhang Qi and others' faces became even more angry.

    "Damn it, let that bastard escape again!" He raised his whip.  After being slapped hard on the ground, Zhang Qi's handsome face became slightly distorted.

    Next to him, Cao Da didn't look too good-looking. After dismounting and carefully observing the direction in which Ma Dan's army was leaving, he frowned and said, "This is not the way to go! Ma Dan has been walking around with our army these days.  , obviously trying to drag down the power of our army¡¯s war horses"

    Hearing this, Zhang Qi squeezed out a bit of a sneer and said in a cold voice, "Okay, in that case, let's see which side is defeated first! - Huh, all the horses used by my Yuyang Iron Cavalry are from Youyan Land  An excellent war horse with great power!"

    "Zhang Qi!" Cao Da stopped the angry Zhang Qi and calmly advised, "All the war horses used by our army are from Youyan.It is true that the local war horses are excellent, but don¡¯t forget that the war horses of the Jizhou Army are also produced in the Yanmen area of ????the North. They are produced in the same place as the war horses of the Shenwu Camp of the Eastern Army Therefore, if you want to use the foot power of the war horses,  I'm afraid it's not easy to bring down Ma Dan's army!  "As he spoke, Cao Da glanced around, took out a march map from his arms, compared the surrounding scenery with the march map one by one, and at the same time said, "The most important thing is the Jizhou Army's familiarity with the terrain  ¡­¡±

    "Then what do you think we should do?" Zhang Qi asked angrily.

    Cao Da thought for a while and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Have you ever noticed that our army has been chasing Ma Dan's army for thirteen days. In the first few times, Ma Dan's army did not dare to rest in the middle, and at least he had to throw our army to three  Ten miles away, but these few times recently, that fellow dared to order the entire army to rest for a while even though he was only ten miles away from us"

    "Herelaxed?" After hearing what Cao Da said, Zhang Qi calmed down and said in surprise.

    "It is impossible to be lax, but no matter what, he will definitely look for every opportunity to gain a rest for his soldiers. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better for our army to chase the horse Dan with all his strength, but only miss him by a little every time.  To escape, it's better to divide our forces. You and I will continue to chase Ma Dan. You Dou, you can take up one of your troops. Hurry up and go back to the front of Ma Dan's army. In the meantime, Ma Dan's army's front road is blocked and its back road is cut off. How can it be wrong?  The reason for defeat?"

    "You and I deliberately slowed down our pursuit. Do you want to fight for You to gain time to get back to the front of Ma Dan's army?" I guess Zhang Qi, as one of the Five Tigers in Northern Xinjiang, is not a reckless person. After a little guidance, he will immediately understand.

    "Exactly!" Cao Da nodded and said.

    Zhang Qi and Youdou looked at each other and nodded in unison.  Immediately, Yudou left the team with 20,000 cavalry among the 40,000 Yuyang cavalry.  They detoured from the other side of Yunjing Mountain in front, trying to get in front of Ma Dan's army first. However, Zhang Qi and Cao Da slowed down their marching speed according to the plan and pursued Ma Dan's army leisurely.

    "What happened to those Yuyang cavalry?"

    As an excellent cavalryman, Ma Dan immediately noticed something was wrong with the pursuers behind him.  Because he discovered that the Yuyang Cavalry seemed to have a different hatred against him, and the Yuyang Cavalry had not given him any chance to breathe in the past few days.  I don't know why I became weak and weak, and I followed slowly behind, but I still didn't have the momentum of the invincible master who roamed the grassland.

    In this regard, Lieutenant General Wu Xing didn't think much about it. While driving his war horse on the uneven road, he panted and said, "No matter how strong the Yuyang cavalry is, they are still human beings. They are not tireless ghostsI am like this  Now I don¡¯t even have the strength to hold the reins. I estimate that the Yuyang cavalry should be like this too"

    Ma Dan nodded when he heard this. After all, his current situation was that he would fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. Comparing his feelings with his own, the Yuyang Cavalry would not be any better than them.

    Maybe it¡¯s because he¡¯s been too tired these past few days. Ma Dan, who has always been cautious and steady, didn¡¯t notice the approaching crisis this time.

    A few more days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye it was the sixth day of July, when Ma Dan was secretly happy that the group of Yuyang cavalry behind him was no longer chasing him as hard as they did at first.  He did not realize that Youdou, one of the Five Tigers of Northern Xinjiang, had led 20,000 Yuyang Iron Cavalry back to his front.

    If even God is paying attention to this cavalry battle that is about to be triggered, then it is not difficult to see that in just one day, Ma Dan's army will be in the embarrassing situation of being flanked by 40,000 Yuyang cavalry.

    However.  As the saying goes, everything in the world is unpredictable, God made a joke here for the Yuyang cavalry who are bound to win

    "Report! Traces of a troop of soldiers and horses were found ten miles ahead!"

    While following Ma Dan¡¯s army in pursuit, a Yuyang cavalry scout reported to Zhang Qi and Cao Da about the latest situation ahead.

    "Huh?" After hearing this, Zhang Qi and General Cao Da looked at each other. You must know that in order not to alert the enemy, they had been hanging dozens of miles away from Ma Dan's army for the past two days, and never made any attempt to close the distance.  In this case, how could Ma Danjun appear only ten miles away from them?

    "Could it be that Ma Dan sensed that Yu Dou was ambushing him ahead?" Cao Da asked tentatively.

    "Then you shouldn't turn around and come towards me, right?" Zhang Qi frowned. He couldn't figure it out. He frowned after thinking for a while and said, "Let's go and take a look first to see what Ma Dan is selling.  What¡¯s the matter!¡±

    "Um!"

    The two of them combined their efforts and gradually moved closer to the army ahead at the same speed. Less than an hour later, they saw the true appearance of the army.

    "This is¡­¡­"

    Looking at the opposite branch from a distanceZhang Qi and Cao Da looked at each other as the flag with the word "Fei" was flying in the team.

    It turned out that what they bumped into was not Ma Dan's army returning through the road, but the first legion of the Jizhou Army, Fei Guojun.

    However, it seems that it is not the complete Fei Guojun. After all, Zhang Qi and others looked around and saw that the opponent only had four thousand horses, but the four thousand horses were each carrying two people.

    "Huh?" Fei Guo, who was on the opposite side, obviously also noticed the 20,000 Yuyang cavalry in front, and immediately ordered the entire army to stop rushing and calmly wait and see the situation.

    "Yuyang Cavalry?" Fei Guo's deputy general, General Ou Peng of the Jizhou Army, looked at the flag of the cavalry on the opposite side and said in surprise, "Didn't it say that the Northern Xinjiang army is attacking Ji Jing? These people are doing it here.  What? Could it be that Ji Jing has already fallen?"

    "" Hearing this, Fei Guo frowned, carefully looked at the 20,000 Yuyang cavalry who were confronting him on the opposite side, and said in a deep voice, "No! This place is only one hundred and thirty miles away from Jijing.  They are cavalry, and they can arrive in a day and a half, but the cavalry on the opposite side is not in good shape The Yuyang cavalry are elite cavalry that roam the grasslands, and they are definitely not like this. In other words" At this point, he seemed to be aware of it.  He glanced at the direction Ma Danjun was leaving and smiled inexplicably, "It seems that someone deliberately led these Yuyang cavalry to run back and forth in our Anping Kingdom I really want to see that guy being chased by those Yuyang cavalry on the opposite side.  You look like you are running away in embarrassment, hahahaha!"

    "Ma Dan?" Ou Peng looked surprised when he heard this, then nodded and said to himself, "I thought the marching speed of my army was shocking, but I didn't expect General Ma Dan to be even better"

    "What's the point? All that guy is a cavalryman. If he can't arrive half a month ago, how can he be qualified to compete with Fei for the position of general?" As a joke, Fei Guo looked at the 20,000 Yuyang cavalry and licked them.  Licking his lips, he said jokingly, "Good guy, I just robbed him of a second-class merit. Is it necessary to frame me like this?"

    Ou Peng smiled bitterly. You must know that in order to reach Jizhou as quickly as possible, his Jizhou Army's First Legion used only four thousand horses to carry two people each, and rushed to Jizhou day and night. In other words, right now, they,  There were only 4,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry, and another 12,000 infantry were still thousands of miles away, led by another deputy general Zhang Dong, rushing towards Jijing.

    "Do you want to fight?" Ou Peng asked with a frown.

    Hearing this, Fei Guo licked his lips and said with a chuckle, "It's not your turn or my choice in this matter. Didn't you see that those Yuyang cavalry have started to charge?"

    Having said this, Fei Guo's face darkened, and he raised his hand to take the heavy gun handed over by the guard beside him, with a stern look in his eyes.

    "Seeing that the opponent only has 8,000 soldiers, you subconsciously thought that you can control it at will? It seems that Northern Xinjiang is indeed too small. We have never seen heroes like Chen Shuai and Zhen Lei who can turn the tide of the battle with one person Then let  Fei is here to tell you to wake up. What you are facing is our Jizhou Army! Form a formation and face the enemy!"

    "Whoa whoa¡ª¡ª!!"
