    "Although the Aoli tribe has surrendered, who can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen? The leader of this tribe has tens of thousands of people, so it is inevitable that the Yishan tribe will be involved. Therefore, what we need to do now is to kill Yishan as quickly as possible.  The tribe caught everyone off guard." Nangong Hao said in a deep voice, "Let the soldiers prepare to eat immediately and continue the action later."

    The army took a short rest, replenished some of its needs, and replaced some injured horses.  Twenty thousand elite cavalry marched again, but this time, the cavalry all changed their costumes.  All the horses were covered with white leather smocks, and the cavalry were all covered with large white cloaks.

    This was prepared before the army was dispatched. Although the enemy was less prepared in heavy snow, the difference in color was easily exposed when marching in the snow.  Therefore, with these white robes and cloaks, the entire army seemed to be covered with a layer of protective color, blending in with the snow. If you don't look carefully, you can easily spot this army.

    Twenty thousand cavalry, light cavalry of the same color.  One is the cavalry of the First Town, and the other is the cavalry of the Eight Banners of Mohe. They are both elite knights.  Under Zhao Jun's strict training methods, these cavalry did not find it difficult to march in the snow.  Twenty thousand people were divided into several groups, separated by many miles from each other, and moved rapidly through the snow.  The howling cold wind once again made it difficult to detect the sounds and figures of the passing cavalry.

    Furthermore, these cavalrymen go out day and night, specializing in roads that are not easily exposed. Every time the team marches, a large number of professional scouts are sent out for reconnaissance. When the 20,000-strong army encountered a small tribe, Nangong Hao could only say one word.  If "kill" could be two words, it would be "kill all".

    Anyone who blocks the way forward will be killed and tribes will be slaughtered. No one will be left alive to expose their whereabouts, because they are getting closer and closer to the largest Yishan tribe.  The Yishan tribe is a large tribe with more than 100,000 tribal warriors, which is by no means comparable to ordinary small tribes.  If the other party is really prepared and strikes back, the 20,000 people will suffer.

    These small tribes are not actually independent tribes, just like the villages of the Tuhan people. They are just small settlements separated from the major tribes to facilitate nomadic herding or farming.  But no matter what, they are enemies.  Therefore, in this windy and snowy winter, a special final march was launched in various places throughout the central part of the Northern Fortress.  Countless nights, those small tribes and small villages that had fallen asleep suddenly saw large swaths of fast horse hooves rushing towards them, and countless Zhao cavalry broke into the villages.  Sergeant Zhao showed no mercy to these tribesmen.

    Facing those who cry and beg, if the infantry can respond and if they are located in the rear, then it is okay and they can be accepted by Zhao Jun.  Otherwise, the Zhao army officers would just coldly order, "Don't let a single person go alive!" The massacre would only be done, and in the end, a fire would be set off to burn everything into ashes.

    Not only Nangong Hao, but in these several dark nights, in the entire central region of the Northern Fortress, tribes of various sizes that blocked Zhao Jun's path were drowned in blood, surrendered, or perished.

    "General Nangong, we have arrived at the residence of the Yishan tribe. This area of ??200 miles is the base camp of the Yishan tribe. Fifty miles ahead is their tribe's headquarters."

    After marching for two days and two nights, we finally arrived at our destination.  This is a fertile plain area.  Several small rivers run from north to south, bringing the source of growth of all things here.

    It would be very difficult for Zhao Jun to march as before, especially now that although it is wartime, there is still a large population near Pyongyang, and there are always countless people walking on the same road every moment.

    "The army rests and regroups, Tan Ma continues to investigate!" Fifteen miles away from Yishan Department, Nangong Hao ordered the army to rest and regroup.  Here, we are already very close to the Yishan Department. This is the most suitable place for the cavalry to start a surprise attack.  No matter how close you are, you will be discovered by the Yishan Department.

    After inspection, we found that there was no defense in Yishan. The tribesmen and herdsmen all stayed at home to avoid the wind, snow and cold winter.  In addition, there are no solid defense measures in this Yishan department, and there are no defensive outposts.

    An hour later, all the generals of the 20,000-strong army gathered together, waiting for Nangong Hao's military order.

    "Everyone, the Yishan tribe in front of us is our ultimate goal this time, and it is also the ultimate goal of our entire army. If we kill the Yishan tribe, then our Zhao army's war in Beisai will be completed. Our Beisai  The army wants to use this as a New Year's gift to King Zhao. Therefore, this battle can only be won but not failed, and the Yishan tribe cannot be noticed or allowed to escape. "

    "This time we made a sudden attack. The Yishan tribe was not prepared yet, so the chance of victory was in my hands. Our army was divided into four and went out in four groups, attacking from north to south."The people in Yishan tribe did not know how many troops our army had dispatched, which caused a swarm of troops from our northern route, making them afraid to resist.  "

    Nangong Hao smiled disdainfully and said in a deep voice: "This little Yishan tribe dares to fight against our great Zhao. They are so desperate that they even intend to form an anti-Zhao alliance? Considering that they can't even survive the cold winter, how can they still be an alliance?  ? Today, we will let them know that barbarian tribes like them are vulnerable in the eyes of our great Zhao."

    ¡°Check your equipment and prepare to go into battle!¡±

    Nangong Hao gave an order, and the 20,000-strong army was divided into four, fighting out from the north and approaching Yishan.

    ¡°Dong¡­dong dong¡­¡± The sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer in the cold wind, and the earth began to tremble slightly.  Now that it has reached its destination, the army no longer needs to suppress its speed.  At this moment, it was necessary to use extremely fast speed to overwhelm any possible resistance from the Yishan tribe.

    The loud "rumbling" sound finally made the Qianhu people stationed in the northern Yishan tribe discover it. Before they reported it to the Qianhu big account in the central part, Zhao Jun had already entered the Qianhu tribe.

    In the wind and snow, the increasingly loud sound of horse hooves and howls woke up the Qiang and Hu people who were still at home. They were quick to understand what was going on, and immediately picked up their weapons and turned over to leave the tent.  house.  But there are more ordinary herdsmen who are panicked and don't know why.

    And the Zhao army that was killed would not give the Yishan tribe a chance to react. To the north of Huyan Qianhu, more than 5,000 fine cavalry shouted and galloped straight in.  On one side was the unsuspecting Huyan Qianhu of the Yishan tribe, and on the other side was Zhao Jun's elite cavalry. Their morale was greatly defeated, and the battle immediately became one-sided.

    Zhao Jun charged and set fire, all the way to the center of the Yishan tribe's tent.  Although the leaders of the Yishan Tribe did not claim the title of king, their leader's status was equal to that of a king.  Among the four tribes of Huyan Qianhu, Hutu Qianhu, Helu Qianhu and Fenglin Qianhu, raging fires ignited almost at the same time, and shrill screams resounded throughout the countryside.

    The four Zhao armies simply charged and killed all the Yishan tribe soldiers who resisted, burned all the Yishan tribe's tents, and drove all the thousands of households of the Yishan tribe into the wilds.  In short, everyone who stands in the way will become a ghost under Zhao Jun's sword

    When Zhao Jun entered several thousand branches in the north of Yishan Department, the king's account in the center got the news.  Hu Cong ordered all ministries to gather people for defense, and at the same time inspected the situation of Zhao Jun's attack.

    "Tell me, why did the Zhao army appear here? According to the warriors' investigation, this Zhao army was dispatched in large numbers. Could it be that all the ministries in the north were conquered by the Zhao army?" Hu Cong said with a gloomy face.

    "Chief, this time Zhao Jun is dispatched in the snow, I'm afraid now is not the time to discuss this. The top priority is to block Zhao Jun's attack first." Qianhu Louyu said with a solemn face.

    "ReportHuyan Qianhu, Hutu Qianhu, Helu Qianhu and Fenglin Qianhu were defeated, two of the four adults were killed, and two were captured by the Zhao army."

    "You bastard, you loser. There are twenty to thirty thousand warriors from four tribes, but they didn't last even one stick of incense. Hu Lie, how are you doing with the gathering of all the tribes?"

    "Fifty thousand warriors have been assembled, but I was attacked. The soldiers are only afraid"

    "Needless to say, at this moment, our Yishan tribe is in a life-and-death situation. If we cannot defeat Zhao Jun, our Yishan tribe will be gone. Pass the order, and the army will be centered on this handsome tent, and the whole army will gather to prepare for war. Today, I want to  Look how powerful this Zhao Jun is," Hu Cong said coldly.

    Zhao Jun defeated four thousand-household tribes in the Yishan tribe, killed, surrendered, and drove away more than 30,000 enemy soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians, and finally entered the central area, where the king's tent was.

    "Oh? Are you prepared? However, in front of our Zhao army cavalry, you barbarians who don't even have armor are like grass!" Looking at the dense enemy soldiers in front of the army, Nangong Hao sneered.

    Although there are tens of thousands of enemy troops on the opposite side, there are still many uncavalry soldiers who have fled back from the front.  The people of Yishan tribe who were driven away by Zhao Jun also caused the cavalry formation on the opposite side to start rioting.  No, it should be said that the cavalry of the Yishan tribe had no formation at all, they were just crowded together casually.

    "General, I got the news that General Qin's South Route Army has appeared from the south, and it is still thirty miles away from here." At this moment, Nangong Hao also got the first good news. Another one of the five routes of army appeared.  .

    "Great, send someone to deliver a message to them immediately. Let them attack from the south of Yishan tribe. We will attack from the front and back. We must not let this Yishan tribe army escape."

    "No, we can't let the Yishan cavalry reorganize their cavalry. Our 20,000 troops are enough to mess them up."

    "Drive" Nangong Hao saw the cavalry of the Yishan Department.?, someone was constantly rectifying the soldiers, and immediately rode out of the formation, raised their spears in front of the formation and shouted, "Great Zhao Iron Cavalry!"

    "Invincible!"

    "The Great Zhao Cavalry!"

    "Invincible!"

    The entire Zhao army's four square formations of 20,000 cavalry responded with a roar, and the momentum was overwhelming.

    Nangong Hao rode his horse and turned around slowly, only to see a lot of horse heads moving in front of him, and there was some commotion among the Yishan cavalry.  Nangong Hao smiled coldly, pointed the iron gun in his hand forward, and his sharp howl instantly echoed through the sky: "Generals of Zhao, kill!"

    "kill!"

    "kill!"

    Amidst the overwhelming shouts, Nangong Hao took the lead in riding out.  The cavalry behind them suddenly surged out like a flood that burst a dike, charging towards the Yishan cavalry without fear.

    "Damn it! Send the order, the army will charge to kill!" Seeing Zhao Jun's cavalry coming to kill, Hu Cong's face suddenly changed and he roared fiercely.  If he remained unmoved when the cavalry was dispatched, the cavalry under his command would be completely doomed.

    Under Hu Cong¡¯s military order, the four thousand households of Hu Lie, Cangtou, Mangxu and Heyu led their troops to greet the Zhao army.  The Yishan tribe had far more soldiers than the Zhao army. Together with the infantry, they numbered 50,000 to 60,000.

    ¡°Whoosh whoosh¡­¡±

    In Zhao Jun¡¯s cavalry formation, a sky full of arrows flew into the air, overwhelming the Yishan cavalry that was surging forward.

    "Damn it! Get away!" The four thousand households and the commanders, centurions and other officers under their command yelled piercingly.  However, the Yishan tribe was attacked by a surprise attack and had no means of defense against arrows. In addition, they were all crowded together, so the lethality of Zhao Jun's arrows was considerable.

    Although the officers reminded them, and although many Yishan soldiers curled up as much as possible on their horses and used their weapons to block the incoming arrow clusters, there were too many arrows and the incoming force was too fierce.  I can dodge one or two, but I can't dodge three or four

    "Puff puff¡­¡­"

    Sharp arrows poured out like rain, and the mournful neighing of the war horses resounded through the sky in an instant. Dozens of Yishan cavalry galloped down suddenly.  Fortunately, the vitality of war horses is longer than that of cavalry, so not many war horses fell, but the Yishan cavalry fell more than 3,000 people in these two rounds of arrow rain.

    However, the nightmare of the Yishan cavalry has just begun.

    "Prepare to throw spears from the front! Suppress arrows from the rear!" Nangong Hao yelled sternly.

    In an instant, the first cavalry soldiers at the front pulled out sharp spears from behind their horses. The sharp spears reflected the cold light.

    "Project!" Nangong Hao shouted loudly and fiercely projected the spear in his hand.

    "Choo Choo Choo¡­¡­"

    Harsh sounds resounded through the sky above the battlefield. The next moment, rows of sharp spears flew into the air from the Zhao army's cavalry formation, intertwining into a forest of death in the air, and then carrying sharp pointed spears.  Xiao viciously struck down.  Subsequently, the two front square formations of Zhao Jun's cavalry were divided into two, diagonally cutting the two wings of Yishan Department, and grazing diagonally from the side.

    "Buzz" Hu Lieting blocked a spear that was shot at him, looked up to the sky and howled miserably: "Get away, get away quickly!"

    But how can the Yishan cavalry avoid it?  The densely packed Yishan cavalry were simply the best targets. What was even more terrible was that this time the air raid hit was no longer the light wolf-tooth feather arrows, but sharp spears weighing more than ten kilograms!

    "Boom"

    Qianhu Cangtou had just used a scimitar to hit a throwing spear, but before he had time to adjust his body, another sharp throwing spear fell in the air with heavy inertia, easily penetrating the leather armor that Qianhu was equipped with.  Blocked it, then penetrated it, and penetrated deeply into the head of the last Yishan cavalryman.

    "What a powerful weapon, Yishanbeit's over!" There was only one thought in Cangtou's mind, and then he fell into darkness.  Thousands of dignified households in Yishan were shot to death by gunfire. It's a pity, it's a shame

    "Puff puff¡­¡­"

    The crisp sound of a sharp weapon piercing the body cavity was heard endlessly, and the neighing of the war horses and the screams of the soldiers were instantly intertwined. Hu Lie suddenly looked back and saw the Yishan tribe warriors rushing in behind him, falling down in rows, a living display of bravery.  The soldiers instantly turned into cold corpses.

    Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.  Keyi Shan tribe didn't know the attack route of Zhao Jun's cavalry at all. As a result, with a single salvo of lances from these 10,000 cavalry, they knocked down at least 6,000 Yi Shan tribe cavalry.  In an instant, a huge gap appeared in the middle of the Yishan cavalry.

    "Cangtou is also dead!" Qianhu Hu Lie looked at the subordinates who used to follow him around him. Most of them died here, and after one of the two Qianhu in the front also fell, Hu Lie's eyes suddenly changed.A ball of blood red, violent anger rolling in his chest like fire.

    "Kill! Kill for me!" Hu Lie yelled sternly.

    "Puff puff¡­¡­"

    "Xi Lv Lv"

    The blood splattered, and the mournful neighing of the war horses resounded once again. After the front of the Zhao army made a big circle from both sides, it once again inserted diagonally, and together with the rear army, penetrated into the middle of the enemy's army.  The front cavalry of the Zhao army once again demonstrated the powerful weapon of throwing spears. The Yishan cavalry without armor could not even swing the scimitars in their hands, but they were pierced by the spears that came again and were carried away from their horses.  .  Qianhu Hulie was naturally the focus of care. The first one was pierced and flew several meters away from the horse

    The sharpness and effect of Zhao Jun's spear instantly made the entire Yishan cavalry tremble. The rear cavalry of the Yishan cavalry immediately attacked much slower.  But obviously, Zhao Jun would not care about this.  Under the unstoppable impact of the Zhao army's cavalry, the Yishan cavalry suffered heavy casualties.  The Zhao army's cavalry was divided into four and charged in all directions, sometimes scattering and sometimes converging.  This made the entire Yishan cavalry miserable. The enemy's dispersion and rendezvous were not random at all, but were carried out in a battle formation.

    "You bastard!" Hu Cong could only curse inwardly as he saw his own soldiers being defeated by the Zhao army despite being outnumbered and defeated by the Zhao army.

    "Chief, the Zhao army's cavalry has sharp armor and equipment, and our army is at a disadvantage. However, we have a large number of people and have a certain advantage. Instead of letting the infantry form a formation at the rear, use fences to block the advance, and use bows and arrows to suppress them, let them  The cavalry temporarily retreated from both sides, and then attacked." Qianhu Louyu said in a condensed voice.

    "Okay, I'll do as you say!" Hu Cong had no better way at the moment, so good.

    Soon, Hu Cong used suggestions to block the horses and fences in the rear to form a blocking zone, then let the infantry block the rear, and finally ordered the cavalry to evacuate on both sides.  However, even if they withdraw their troops, Zhao Jun still insists on holding on. Even Zhao Jun's fierce pursuit almost caused the Yishan tribe's retreat to collapse.  Even so, many Yishan cavalrymen were killed one by one by the Zhao army before they evacuated to the central part to resist the horses.
