Yu Wenchun rode his horse on the official road after the snow.
The road going south from Pingcheng is relatively smooth. After all, it was once the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the surrounding road conditions are not much different. Although after the separation and confrontation between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, Pingcheng was too far to the north, and its position was gradually occupied by Jinyang in the south.
Although it has been replaced by Rouran and Turks from time to time, it is still one of the largest cities outside the Great Wall.
Pingcheng fell into the hands of the Han army, and Yu Wenchun was indeed to blame.
At that time, Han Qinhu came from Hetao to cover up the attack with great momentum. Even the forward scouts of the Han army had appeared outside Yanmen Pass. In addition, the war situation in the south was tense.
The decision to stick to Yanmen in order to ensure that Jinyang was safe, but the facts proved that Han Qinhu was just a bluff, and the real number of soldiers and horses was not even comparable to that of Jinyang's Northern Zhou defenders.
Being fooled around by this guy really made Yu Wenchun embarrassed.
However, Pingcheng has fallen into the hands of the Han Dynasty, so there is no need to worry for a while. Yu Wenxian did not grant Yu Wenchun's request to attack Pingcheng. After all, the frontal battlefield between the two sides was in full swing at that time. As the last deterrent force of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Xianbei cavalry could not act rashly, especially
Can't bear any loss.
Yes, although the power of the Xianbei cavalry is here, Yu Wenxian never dared to send the Xianbei cavalry to the battlefield. Because Yu Wenxian has experienced too many failures. If the Xianbei cavalry also failed, then Yu Wenxian
The foundation of Yu Wenxian will be shaken. Without Li Xingchen taking action, the Han families in the north will simply sell out Yu Wenxian.
Strategic weapons should not be moved if they can be moved. It would be embarrassing to find that they are of no use after being moved.
But now that the big men also need to recuperate in the winter, Yu Wenxian finally couldn't sit still and had to let the Xianbei cavalry test their skills. Otherwise, firstly, the cavalry's sabers might get rusty, and secondly, the Xianbei cavalry had no results.
If so, everyone would naturally ignore the threat of the Xianbei cavalry.
A strategic weapon must be used when it is time to use it, otherwise everyone will think it is an embroidery needle.
Attacking Pingcheng is naturally the best choice.
Pick the persimmons soft and pinch them.
Although Yu Wenchun didn't want to admit that he was an old lady who pinched persimmons, he did not object to this plan, and even supported it. It was time to teach Han Qinhu a lesson, otherwise this guy really thought that Bei Zhou had linked him
Nothing can be done?
So even though there was news from Puzhou that the Han army was moving, Yu Wenchun still firmly led 10,000 cavalry out of Yanmen Pass and headed north. After all, there were more than 10,000 cavalry in Jinyang, and they could rescue even if something happened to Puzhou. Thinking of this
Yu Wenchun was still a little depressed. If it hadn't been for something happening in Puzhou, he would have wanted to bring 20,000 cavalry with him, completely trample Pingcheng to the ground, and let Han Qinhu know the consequences of playing tricks on him.
It's a pity that the Hedong family and the imperial court have long been estranged from each other, so they are completely untrustworthy, so Yu Wenchun must keep a backup plan.
Even so, in his opinion, ten thousand cavalry is enough.
My mission is to intercept, encircle, and attack the city and Dugu Yongye.
It snowed heavily this time, and the war horses moved forward slowly in the snow. Fortunately, they did not carry many heavy vehicles, otherwise the marching speed would probably be slowed down even more. Yu Wenchun has already
I can't wait to rush to Pingcheng and compete with Han Qinhu.
Of course, he was also curious about what kind of strategy Han Qinhu would use.
Is it possible that this guy really intends to be a coward?
After all, up to now, the Northern Zhou sentry cavalry has not encountered the Han army's sentinels, which means that at least fifty to a hundred miles ahead, there may be no sign of the Han army.
Going further, it's not far from Pingcheng.
Thinking that his opponent might be hiding in the city, Yu Wenchun felt bored.
You won’t have to make soy sauce again this time, right?
"What's ahead?" Yu Wenchun saw the small hills appearing on the horizon.
Without waiting for the guard to reply, he took out the map.
Bailangdui is a good place.
"Give me the order to set up camp here today."
As he spoke, Yu Wenchun looked around.
The vast snowfield is exceptionally peaceful.
I just don’t know if there is murderous intent under this silence?
There has been no trace of the Han army, even the presence of scouts, which made him feel a little worried despite being in battle for a long time. The Southern Barbarians are cunning, and this Han Qinhu is even more cunning among cunning. He wonders if there is any conspiracy.
To plot against yourself?
However, nothing has been found for the time being. Even if Yu Wenchun is worried, he cannot express it directly. At least the Northern Zhou cavalry is still very powerful. If Yu Wenchun, as the general, shows hesitation and timidity, what should the soldiers under his command do?
What do you think?
A general's heart is disturbed, which is a taboo for military strategists.
Yu Wenchun did not want to follow in the footsteps of Fu Jian on the banks of the Feishui River.
Han Qinhu, what are you thinking about?
Yu Wenchun squinted his eyes and looked northward, his eyes widening.
Twenty miles north of Bailangdui.
Wearing a white cloak, the figure seemed to blend in with the snow and ran forward quickly.
This is not one figure, but countless figures.
The Han army spread out and marched forward very quickly.
The scouts had already sent word half an hour ago that Yu Wenxian was stationed south of Bailangdui.
The Han army, which originally advanced slowly and leisurely south, suddenly received an order from Li Jing to march urgently and must reach Bailangdui before nightfall!
Li Jing himself was also in the running queue. After a day of screening, he selected 3,000 people suitable for carrying out the mission. Yes, it was said to be 5,000 at first, but then Li Jing lowered the number after careful consideration.
At three thousand.
The fewer people there are, the easier it is to hide your whereabouts.
As long as these 3,000 people can execute orders and prohibitions, and move forward and retreat freely, there is actually no difference between them and 5,000 people. In fact, 3,000 people may even be better able to command and mobilize than 5,000 people, so as to avoid being caught by the enemy.
Ambushes and surprise attacks have always been about the quality of soldiers rather than the numbers.
If Han Qinhu hadn't stopped him, Li Jing would have dared to reduce his number by another five hundred.
After all, there were tens of thousands of cavalry on the opposite side, and Han Qinhu did not dare to let Li Jing support him so much. Just in case, and to respond in time, the cavalry in the city also moved southward under the leadership of Yu Xi, hoping to use the cavalry to attract
The enemy's attention is naturally also to expand the victory in time or to cover Li Jing's retreat.
There are only 5,000 cavalry under Yu Xi's command, and there are many new recruits. Among the Han cavalry, there are not many truly experienced soldiers. Most of them are recruits who have been trained in the past few years. Even Yu Xi, a veteran of the Han cavalry,
The characters are not immune either.
Especially since Pingcheng was not the main battlefield before, so the Guanzhong's elite cavalry were basically mobilized to Hou Mi's command, so Yu Xi's place was mainly composed of new recruits. This also made Yu Xi, who has always been fearless,
They didn't dare to directly challenge the Northern Zhou cavalry.
