The cavalry that raided for a long distance was waiting for the cavalry that had some time to prepare for war. Which side had a greater chance of winning?

The soldiers of Qi army inside and outside Jicheng believed that their side had a great chance of victory.

Because of their horses, most of them were cavalry. Although the enemy's raids came very quickly, they did not appear in front of them in an instant.

Therefore, Qi cavalry continued to fight.

However, they could not stop the assault of the Chu cavalry. The battalions outside the city were quickly broken through, and the Chu infantry, who were riding on horseback, jumped off their horses and began infantry battles as the cavalry broke into the camp.

They threw out gunpowder weapon "Booming the Sky" and created endless thunder and flashing fire.

Although this weapon has little direct killing effect, the fire, smoke and sound generated during the explosion are enough to make people who have never seen the movement of the weapon think it is a magic trick.

Many of the Khitan soldiers and the Martial soldiers who followed the Yingzhou army south were left in Jicheng, and were directly scared by this weapon that looked like "sky thunder". Some escaped, while others knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

A large number of war horses were also frightened, and soon the Qi army camp was in chaos.

The Chu soldiers who rushed into the camp chopped when they saw people, like crazy dogs that crashed into a crowd, biting when they saw people.

He also set fire with a tinea bottle, and soon ignited the battalions.

Yang Fengzhang, the governor of Qingzhou, the State of Chu who was supervising the battle on the spot, was happy to see the Qingzhou army soldiers fighting bravely to fight the enemy: It is not in vain for the hard work of these years.

The Qingzhou army crossed the sea and attacked Youzhou (Jicheng). As an alternative Northern Expedition plan, it has been conducting secret training and has built a large number of sea ships for this purpose.

One of the difficulties of this tactic is that the soldiers must be able to withstand the bumps of taking a boat and not be affected by severe seasickness.

And after landing, he was able to ride a horse to launch a raid on Jicheng, so he had high requirements for both people and horses.

Fortunately, the court was willing to allocate money and grain, and the Qingzhou army's training for several years finally came in handy.

According to the pre-war plan, Yang Feng ordered various cavalry to repeatedly attack the enemy camps outside the city. Seeing that the situation of the war was becoming more and more beneficial to their side, she ordered a new group of assembled horse infantry (already dismounted) to prepare to attack the city gate.

He organized a siege outside the city, and inside the city, Hu Luxian, who climbed the city to check the situation, saw more and more Chu soldiers rushing into the battalions, and looked at the dust rising on the horizon, and felt shocking:

The Chu army transported all the horses from the Qingzhou area? Why are there so many horses?

He did not understand the vast sea, nor did he see any examples of a transitional sea raid. He did not know how many ships needed to achieve so many surprise attacks on the sea, but the fact is that a large number of enemy troops were attacking Jicheng.

All his previous responses were like a cocoon, resulting in weak response at critical moments.

The Yingzhou Army was basically broken at Tieque Pass, and he sent a lot of cavalry as scouts to conduct reconnaissance in the southern part of Youzhou, so the Jicheng army can be said to be only 40% of the total force.

Faced with the large number of Chu troops attacking with all their might, our side could not withstand it at first, but it would be difficult for them to launch a counterattack next.

Listening to the thunder sound and looking at the flashing fire and the rising smoke from time to time, he remembered the movements that the Chu army made after entering Yecheng that day.

......

At night, fire and thick smoke enveloped Jicheng. The war continued until now, and the outcome had been decided: the Qi army was defeated in a disastrous manner.

The military camp outside the city was captured by the Chu army, and Jicheng was quickly captured.

The Chu army's offensive was fierce and ruthless, and the Qi army's troops were all disintegrated, and there was no possibility of turning defeat into victory.

There were defeated Qi soldiers everywhere, and they were trampled by the pursued Chu cavalry. There were many corpses on the rivers outside the city, and the river water was stained with blood.

In the north of the city, Hu Luxian, who led his troops to break through, rode his horse to rush over the Gaosoru Water, and rushed towards the Gaosoru Water to the north. Dozens of Chu cavalry behind him chased him reluctantly.

The Gaoliang waterfront also turned into a battlefield. The cavalry of the two armies was fighting in a melee, but the Qi army was already in decline and could not resist the impact of more and more Chu cavalry.

Huluxian looked up and saw that there were Chu cavalry everywhere. As the defeated soldiers said before, the enemies at Tieque Pass were really several times more than previously predicted.

He fought for decades and encountered his opponent who was sneak attacking on the sea for the first time. However, when he came back to his senses, it was too late.

The enemy was very strong, with many cavalrymen. Inside and outside Jicheng, the Qi army soldiers were killed and killed. He, the commander of the entire army, could not turn the tide and could only break through.

At this moment, we can only go to Juyongguan to the northwest and flee to another place. We either have no way to survive or regroup.

With the efforts of his left and right, he broke through the interception of the Chu cavalry, passed the Gaosoru Water, and rushed northward.

After passing the Gaosang Water, the Yijing Water is ahead. After passing the Yijing Water, the former site of Changping City during the Han and Wei dynasties.

He was very familiar with the terrain of this area.

Three years ago, when Hu Luxian was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, in order to better water the farmland reclaimed around the former Changping site, Qingzhuang specially mobilized Qingzhuang to dig ditches to lure Gaosou water into Yijing water to increase the amount of water.

Now, he and his subordinates struggled to break through, and the pursuers behind him gradually fell down, so as long as they pass the former site of Changping, they will be safe.

They rode their horses across the river and were about to move forward, but they saw fires lit up in front of them, and countless torches appeared in the wilderness.

Hu Luxian looked closely and saw a large number of Chu cavalry waiting in front of him.

Where did this cavalry emerge?

He looked around and found that there were only more than a hundred cavalry, while the other side had hundreds of cavalry.

Or, there are thousands of riders?

Under the night, the other party lights a torch, and there are many figures and can't see clearly.

Hu Luxian saw that the other party was waiting for the rabbit, and realized that this time, it was really a bad luck.

To the north, Wu Mingche, who had just run out of the mountains to the west, looked at his subordinates who were blushed by mosquitoes, and then looked at the panic-prone prey ahead and the burning Jicheng in the distance, and showed a gratified smile.

In this battle, the official army has a great victory. You have no way to escape, so I will not be in vain for my planning!

Before, he camped in the southwest of Jicheng, and carefully observed the surrounding terrain.

The former site of Changping is west of the old city and north of Jicheng (via Gaoliang Water). There are mountains forming a large mountain that can hide soldiers.

On its southern foot, facing Gaosang Water, there is the Liling of Liu Dan, the former Yanshou king of the former Han Dynasty.

Therefore, he and his subordinates risked the entire army being wiped out, lurking in the mountains with dry food and horses.

Once the Qi army occupying Jicheng discovered their traces, they were done, because the other officials and soldiers had withdrawn from Tieque Pass to the east and no one would come to rescue him.

However, there are surprise soldiers at Iron Bird Pass!

Wu Mingche knew that the Qingzhou army would take a boat to the north as planned and landed near Tieque Pass in the eastern part of Youzhou, so the Chu army had just taken Tieque Pass before.

Many trests were built by the sea so that the people on the boat could land.

So, on this basis, he designed a trap: give up Jicheng and retreat to Tieque Pass.

This trap will inevitably induce Qi army to enter and have to divide the troops into Tieque Pass, and the main force is temporarily "fixed" in Jicheng, as if it is a cocoon.

Therefore, Wu Mingche persuaded the marching governor Wang Lin to temporarily change the combat plan.

But someone must lead an army to lurk near Jicheng in order to give a fatal blow to the fleeing enemy.

Of course he was responsible for this task, and the mountains north of Jicheng and west of Changping became their lurking place.

Although the soldiers were bitten in a very embarrassing manner after feeding the mosquitoes for several days, the hard work was very worth it.

After a adventure, the final happy ending was about to come. Wu Mingche asked his subordinates to sound the horn and launch a fatal blow to the desperate prey.
