Li's cavalry totaled three thousand soldiers and horses this time.
A total of five thousand troops were dispatched to attack the camp.
The equipment of both sides is equal, and the attacking camp has the advantage in terms of numbers, but with combat experience, Li's cavalry has never been defeated so far.
At the same time, it also depends on the ability of the generals on both sides to command troops.
Bao Suwei and Cao Yijun, one is a fierce general and the other is a Confucian general. One is good at attacking and the other is good at planning.
At three o'clock in the morning, the two armies officially met.
The first person to realize that he had been plotted was Cao Yijun.
Before the confrontation, he saw Li's cavalry appearing in front of him, and his eyes widened in shock.
The attack camp was built after Li's cavalry. As the commander of the attack camp, Cao Yijun naturally had a lot of research on Li's cavalry.
Cao Yijun could recognize the black armor of Li's cavalry at a glance.
But the shock was overwhelming. As a coach, he would never back down.
Moreover, the attacking battalion and Li's cavalry would have to fight a tough battle sooner or later. The attacking battalion, which had little actual combat experience, lacked an opportunity to practice their skills.
Cao Yijun quickly made adjustments and asked his subordinate Chen Jun to lead 1,300 men to the south immediately to attack the attacking camp in the front direction at the same time.
He also sent a general to run behind and lead a thousand soldiers and horses at the rear of the team to the east to make a surprise attack when the opportunity arose.
"This is the Xia Family Army?" Li Shou said in a low voice when he saw the formation on the opposite side.
Li's iron cavalry slowly stopped under the leadership of Bao Suwei. Bao Suwei looked at the dark black iron army on the opposite side and had an answer in his heart.
"It's not Xia Jiajun." Bao Suwei said.
Bao Suwei had met Xia Jiajun. Not only had he met, he and Xia Zhaoxue also competed in the military camp, and he narrowly won.
So far, Bao Suwei has only been defeated by two people in single combat, one is Li Xiao and the other is Ah Li.
After practicing hard, Li Xiao was lucky enough to beat him in several moves.
Ah Li met on the streets of Yong'an. He failed to catch the other person, but was insulted by the other party and called him a dog.
Bao Suwei still grits his teeth thinking about the girl's taunting dog barks.
"If it's not the Xia Family Army, then," Li Shou thought for a moment and was surprised, "could it be Song Zhiyi's troops?"
"Attack the camp." Bao Suwei said in a deep voice.
Li Shou made a sound of "poof" and said in disgust: "Their spies must have gotten the news about our coming to Huazhou, so they led their troops to stop us!"
"If it weren't for the Xia Family Army, would we fight?" Captain Li Meng said from behind.
Bao Suwei looked coldly at the charging troops on the opposite side who also slowly stopped: "Is there any room for failure now?"
The horses on both sides were full of anxiety, and the leading generals were looking at each other.
When arrows are on the string and we meet on a narrow road, whoever turns back will be unworthy of being a general.
Bao Suwei drew out his sword, struck the horse, looked at the thousands of cavalry behind him, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers! We are the best and first-class generals in the world! How can anyone who blocks the road leave them alive! Kill them all!
!”
"kill!"
"kill!"
"Did you hear that?" Cao Yijun said lightly, "The other side is filled with murderous intent."
All the lieutenants on both sides looked at him. Cao Yijun snorted coldly, suddenly spurted out on horseback, ran in front of the army, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the attacking camp! We are an immortal sword forged by the new dynasty!
As soon as the sharp blade comes out, you will see blood biting your bones. Let the other side see how sharp and unstoppable we are! The generals will rush with me, stepping on their flesh and blood to reach the top of the world!"
"Number one in the world!"
"Number one in the world!"
Thousands of people shouted in unison.
Cao Yijun drew out his long sword and swung it forward angrily: "Charge!"
"Charge!!" The cavalrymen were furious, and they all rushed forward.
On the 19th day of the first lunar month, this battle, which represents the collision of the highest equipment and top combat quality training of the current era, started in the cold mountains and wilderness at the transition between spring and winter.
The common enemy of the two teams, the commander of the Xia Family Army, had already fallen asleep leisurely. And before falling into the dream, she also said that there were people who were willing to go astray, or to hunt down scattered soldiers and horses, as they pleased.
Huazhou has always been known as a place of chaos, but in the spring of the Jiawu Year, Huazhou was in complete chaos.
In the west, Nie Huimo led his army to capture Cide and killed 587 Qianxian people.
Ying Jinliang suffered a severe blow, the morale of the former army plummeted, and they retreated in succession.
On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, Qian Xianmin learned that Jiao Jinhu was going south to outflank Nie Huimo's troops, but was killed by the Dacheng soldiers led by Tian Dayao, who killed 50,000 people and then returned to Fuzhou, as well as the situation in the east, and even more in Huazhou.
Unfortunately, Qian Xianmin was completely desperate.
On the second day of February, Qian Xianmin retreated his remaining troops back to Yaixing and had all the beauties in the palace strangled to death. He then drank a glass of poisoned wine and died.
At this point, Qian Xianmin's regime, which began to dominate Huazhou in May of the Gengyin year, completely collapsed in less than four years.
At the same time, eastern Huazhou, the "last straw" that broke Qian Xianmin's life, was already in a mess.
Li Qian's Li's cavalry and Daping Dynasty's attacking battalion clashed for the first time. The fight was hearty and both sides suffered losses.
At noon on the 20th day of the first lunar month, the Zuilu Guo family in the south suddenly sent out troops to attack the Daping Dynasty's attack camp from the flank, in order to avenge the ambush and sneak attack by the Qiuyu Camp at the Anzhu Pass.
But Songzhou is located in the northeast of Huazhou, so Cao Yijun immediately sent people to Fushang County to mobilize troops.
The Guo family accepted the situation and did not stay for a long time. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the Guo family immediately withdrew the troops.
As early as the moment the Guo family sent troops, Li Shou knew that they were not good people. He said that they were attacking the Daping Dynasty army to avenge them. More importantly, they seemed to be setting fire to the enemy.
Li Shou proposed that there were only two options before Li's cavalry, one was to retreat, and the other was to ask for reinforcements.
It is impossible to retreat. It would be a great shame and humiliation for Li's cavalry to be driven away.
But Li Qian was far to the east of the Quyang Mountains, and reinforcements would take a long time.
It is not yet known whether Li Xiao's troops at Guihe will come.
As for the nearest one, Li Shou could only think of Jiangnan Barracks.
Zhuang Mengyao's attitude towards Li Qian's regime has always been ambiguous and there is no conflict, but he has not paid tribute year after year. In the past four years, all the money from the Jiangnan provinces has gone into Zhuang Mengyao's pocket.
No matter what, Li Shou immediately sent people to Tongzhou.
He didn't go to Zhuang Mengyao directly, but to Zhuang Mengyao's brother-in-law, Pei Yongfu.
At the moment, Zhuang Mengyao is actually very distressed and is not much better.
In Yizhou and Chongyi in the south, Zhang Linghui kept sending troops to harass him.
In the past two months, Panzhou in the northwest was defeated by Nie Huimo.
After several attempts by Pei Yongfu, Zhuang Mengyao was finally willing to send 5,000 troops to help Li's cavalry.
In the end, even Xia Zhaoyi did not expect that Li's cavalry and attack camp would be able to fight in eastern Huazhou for a full ten days.
Ten days later, Li Xiao, who was three hundred miles north of Huazhou, arrived with his troops returning to Hehe.
Eight thousand cavalry went south and quickly rushed towards Cao Yijun.
Li Xiao, who had been disgraced in the siege battle at Peifeng, was as powerful as a tiger on the plains. Not only did he let out a fierce breath, but he also made a show of authority in front of Bao Suwei, who was exhausted both physically and mentally.
It was not until the next day that Jin Hongkang personally led Qiuyu Camp and Zhuyuan Camp to dispatch nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Li Xiao's fighting power was eliminated.
On the third day of February, when Xia Zhaoyi received the news that Qian Xianmin committed suicide, the war in the east was about to end.
