On Yizhou City, except for a few hanging wind lanterns that swayed in the wind and emitted a faint halo of light, the rest of the city was basically dark. The same was true for the military camp of the Northern Expedition Army under Yizhou City.

, the lantern on the guard tower swayed, dragging the shadows of the soldiers on the guard tower extremely long, from the high tower to the ground.

The seemingly peaceful Yicheng is not peaceful at all. Inside the city, towards the south gate, the Jinwu Guard soldiers have already begun to gather. People have grass in their mouths, horses have their heads in their mouths, the south gate is wide open, and the first batch of vanguard troops have already left the city. Here.

At that time, nearly 20,000 people gathered in the city, but it was extremely quiet and almost no sound was made. From this, it can be seen that the Jinwu Guards are indeed an elite division.

"General, the forward troops have been out of the city for dozens of miles. They have not encountered any interception, and they have not found any troops from the Northern Expedition Army at all!" Liu Hanqing walked up to Cheng Qun and whispered.

"You have nothing to fear!" Cheng Qun smiled bitterly, "Historically, you said that the opposing Northern Army really didn't know that we were retreating."

Liu Hanqing shook his head slightly.

"They are waiting for us to get away from Yizhou City!" Cheng Qun took a long breath, "Forget it, there is no way to go, so let's fight again with Mengqi. The front has been arranged."

"Yes, after the forward reaches the designated position, it will stop according to your order and wait for the confrontation with the Mongolian army." Liu Hanqing said.

"Okay, this is our last battle!" Cheng Qun turned around and stared at the tall tower, "Let's go!"

In the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, groups of infantry were lined up neatly in the camp. The officers stood in the front row, near the camp gate. Yun Zhao was riding on Wuyun Taxue, looking up at the Yizhou city wall, with a smile on his face.

A faint smile. In the darkness, sentries came from afar from time to time, reporting something in low voices to the officers on duty.

Finally, a trace of fish belly white appeared on the horizon. As Yun Zhaoyi Shuihan choked, the quiet team unsheathed their swords and pointed their swords at the sky, bursting out into waves of earth-shaking shouts.

"Conquer the Northern Army and win a thousand victories!"

"Conquer the Northern Army and win a thousand victories!"

Yi Shuihan waved from top to bottom, pointing the blade at Yizhou City. The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded. The cavalry took the lead and galloped out of the camp. After the cavalry, the infantry stepped forward neatly, and rows of fences were pushed down.

Teams of the Northern Expeditionary Army marched out of the camp neatly and headed towards Yizhou City.

The thick city gate was suddenly pushed open when the dark clouds and snow arrived ten meters in front of the city gate. Two groups of soldiers walked out neatly and respectfully welcomed Yun Zhao and a group of senior generals from the Northern Army into the city.

Above, the flag of the Northern Expeditionary Army was raised high, facing the first ray of rising sun on the horizon, fluttering in the wind. On top of the city, the soldiers waved their weapons and cheered loudly.

The recovery of Yizhou City means that the Northland has finally been unified under the banner of the Northern Army. The enemies who fled will be defeated by the Northern Army in the subsequent pursuit. The war in the North for nearly ten years

, at this moment, it finally came to a successful conclusion.

It turns out that Cheng Qun's general's office has been cleared out, and Yun Zhao's Chinese army camp is stationed here. The personal barracks have just been put on guard, and Yun Zhao has not yet sat down in the lobby, and all the troops entering the city are

The generals have already poured in from all directions.

"Your Majesty, the entire Yizhou City is under our control." Yao Changkun was the first to step through the gate. "Now the ministries are cleaning up the city to clear out any remaining enemies that may exist."

"Reporting to the prince, thousands of Jinwu Guards wounded soldiers were found in the barracks in the city, and Cheng Qun left them behind!" Wang Qiang said.

"How did you deal with it?" Yun Zhao asked.

"Back to your lord, the general has sent troops to guard the military camp, and gathered all the doctors in the army to enter the military camp to treat their injuries and illnesses!" Wang Qiang said.

"Very good, as far as they are concerned, the war is over!" Yun Zhao smiled and nodded, "You did a good job!"

"Reporting to the prince, there are still tens of thousands of young people in the city. According to the prince's instructions, we have not restricted their freedom and have informed them to go to Daji to find their families." Meng Yao came out and said loudly.

"Reporting to the prince, when Cheng Qun left, he did not destroy the large amount of military rations and ordnance stored in the city. Now our department has taken over the above-mentioned area!"

"Reporting to the prince, the general has sent out the staff of the Staff Division to mark all the poisonous wells. Now the Staff Division is cleaning them one by one and putting in the antidote!"

"We have to do this well and don't leave any one behind. I don't want us to be trapped in a cocoon!" Yun Zhao said with a smile.

A hundred miles away from Yizhou City, Jamuhe led 10,000 original Mongolian troops to stand on a gentle slope, holding his star eyes tightly in his hands. He hated Cheng Qun.

He will never forget the battle of Cangjiang. Two hundred thousand Mongolian troops were divided, surrounded and annihilated one by one. In the end, Liu Huajian led all the cavalry of Cheng Qun's four guards to pursue him for thousands of miles. His father Asi

Lan was seriously injured just to cover his retreat with the remaining main force, and barely escaped with his life.

Cheng Qun was the commander-in-chief of that battle. If that battle had not severely damaged the vitality of the Mongolian people, perhaps the Mongolian people would not have ended up in the situation where they had to take shelter under Yun Zhao's Northern Expedition Army to survive. They even paid for it.

In exchange for marrying Princess Yaerdan to Yun Zhao to strengthen the relationship between the two parties.

If it hadn't been for that battle, maybe the winner of the North should be the Mongolian people now. Jamuka slowly raised his star eyes, hooked his fingers on the bow string, and shouted low. The bow was like a full moon. He suddenly released it, and his star eyes made a clear sound.

The bow string vibrated slightly.

He looked up at the sun, feeling a little strange in his heart. He estimated the time and realized that the retreating Jinwu Guards should appear in his field of vision, but at the end of his field of vision, there was still nothingness.

Although it is strange, Jamu is not in a hurry. Cheng Qun is already the best among others, and he will come sooner or later.

Several war horses appeared in his field of vision, and Jamuka frowned slightly. They were his sentry horses.

"General, Cheng Qun's troops stopped advancing at Banqiaogou and set up a formation there. It seems, it seems..." The sentry rider was a little unsure about paying attention.

"It seems like they are waiting for us to attack, right or wrong?" Jamuka raised his eyebrows, interrupting the sentry knight.

"The general is wise, the general is watching, that's what I mean!" The sentry knight nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, very good!" Jamukha looked up to the sky and laughed, "Cheng Qun probably also knows that we are waiting for him in front. Is this a challenge to us? Very good, I accept the challenge!"

Tuoli rode up to Jamuka and said, "General Jamuka and the Jinwu Guards are fighting in formation. If we attack them, we may not be able to win. It's better to walk slowly and wait for the infantry of the Northern Expedition Army to catch up."

If you cooperate on foot and on horseback, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort!”

Jamuka raised his eyebrows and said, "No, let our Mongolian army fight this battle. Tuoli, you send someone to inform Bolu and Marihan on the left and right wings."

"General!" Tuoli still wanted to argue.

Jamukha sighed, "Tuoli, Yun Zhao originally wanted us to fight this battle. Otherwise, the Northern Expeditionary Army would have caught up with Cheng Qun long ago. Forget it, let's not talk about this. This moment is the same as the other moment. You

I forgot, Geng Chong poisoned the water source of Yizhou City. Jin Wuwei must have eaten in the morning

We just set out, but by this time, we are about to have a seizure. The combat effectiveness of the Jinwu Guards has been greatly reduced. If we still can't take them down, wouldn't it be a joke to the Northern Expedition Army. Although we have joined the Northern Expedition Army, we are still

I still want to save face. Give me the order and the whole army will advance!"

After saying this, Jamuka galloped forward with his war horse under his arm. The 10,000 large tent soldiers shouted and galloped forward right behind Jamuka.

Cheng Qun chose Banqiao Valley not on a whim, but because of the terrain. Banqiao Valley is a small ditch about ten meters wide. During the flood season, the water surface is about ten meters wide. But now, only the middle

There is a gurgling stream flowing through the place. The focus is not on this small creek, but on the surrounding soft ground and

There are cobblestones of different sizes scattered all over this place, which is a natural battlefield against cavalry. War horses cannot accelerate here because they may break the horse's legs at any time due to missing a hoof or fall to the ground when they step on the cobblestones. The cavalry cannot

The speed is reduced, and when attacking the infantry square, the power is reduced by more than half.

If he didn't defeat Meng Qi, he would have no chance of escaping. Cheng Qun was convinced of this.

He set up a battle formation here just to wait for Jamukha to attack. With Jamukha's proud temperament, he would definitely not refuse his invitation to fight.

The 20,000 Jinwu Guards who withdrew from Yizhou City set up a dense formation of one square for every five hundred people in Banqiao Valley. The forty square formations were well-proportioned, covering each other, without any blind spots, and these military formations were fighting

It is not completely immobile, but can move as the war progresses, thereby completing the encirclement and counter-cutting of the cavalry. The Dai Viet Guards developed in hundreds of years of war against the Mongols.

Many tactics were developed specifically to deal with cavalry, and this was one of them. It was a pity that Cheng Qun withdrew from Yizhou City and abandoned all heavy weapons in order to speed up. The trebuchets and crossbows should have been the first

The wave strike mission is no longer available, and we can only rely on bows and arrows and crossbows, which greatly reduces the effect. Fortunately, the terrain here can effectively make up for this fatal flaw.

But Cheng Qun discovered that his trouble was not only the lack of long-range attack weapons, but also that his soldiers had a big problem. The first problem was the few cavalry units in the army.

There were only more than 2,000 cavalry in the army, but now, these were not the same, and all the horses that Cheng Qun had entrusted with the heavy responsibility of counterattack fell.

"What's going on?" Cheng Qun's face turned blue.

Liu Hanqing was sweating profusely and looked at Cheng Qun, "General, not long after we came out of Yizhou City, the horses started to suffer from diarrhea. At first it was just a few, but more and more, and by the time they got here, they were all unable to move."

"

"Two thousand horses were all lame." Cheng Qun's hands trembled slightly, "History, where are the soldiers? Where are the soldiers?"

Liu Hanqing's voice trembled, "General, many soldiers have also experienced this situation."

Cheng Qun's face turned pale. This was not an accident, but the Jinwu Guards soldiers were poisoned. But how they were poisoned Cheng Qun was puzzled. (If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian)
