In Huxin County, Jingan Road, the sound of iron hoofbeats like thunder came from the distance.
Cai Nan was wearing iron armor and holding an iron gun tightly.
This veteran general under Gu Jiantang chose a very mediocre military formation for his Huaihei army. The infantry was in the center and the horses were resisted, and the cavalry was on both wings.
It's not that Cai Nan doesn't want to fight cavalry against Beiliang cavalry in an upright and deadly battle, but it's true that a rebellious old party member like him, even if they have the superior force, still doesn't have the confidence to compete with the world-famous cavalry.
Cai Nan did not expect that his two Huai armies could defeat the young Northern Liang king. He could only hope to hold off as many Xu family cavalry as possible to gain opportunities for Xu Gong and Zhao Xun.
On the horizon, the very conspicuous young King of Northern Liang, dressed in a white python robe, led the way, followed by an endless line of armored black cavalry.
The dense iron armor reflected its luster in the sunlight.
The sound of horse hooves sounded like drums, hitting Cai Nan's heart so hard that it was difficult for the Jiedushi Master to take a breath.
Xu Fengnian raised his arm, and the fifty thousand cavalry slowed down and stopped at the edge of the optimal cavalry charge distance.
Cai Nan didn't know that the rumors were true until he actually met the rebel king Li Yang talked about.
This young vassal king who followed Tu, whose surname was Xu, single-handedly changed the martial arts rankings of Jianghu and killed 800,000 Beimang troops. His hands were bloody, and he fought all the way to this day.
The details of the Battle of Jubeicheng have already been spread throughout the world through the mouths of the masters who participated.
One man destroyed more than 100,000 troops of Beiting alone, which made Beimang frightened. Xu Fengnian became the absolute focus of the decisive battle.
Facing this inhuman opponent, even his own large array of bed crossbows and the fifty bed crossbows inside failed to bring any sense of security to the Lianghuai Jiedu Envoy.
What he fears most now is that in order to win, the man named Xu will use his unearthly cultivation to implement a beheading strategy.
The prince of Beimang, Yelu Hongcai, was killed by Xuanyuan Qingfeng under the protection of Beimang's masters and the most elite Qixue army.
Cai Nan didn't think that the troops under his command could be compared with the cowardly Xue Army and could stop Xu Fengnian, who was the best in the world.
Xu Fengnian just glanced briefly and had a panoramic view of Liyang Army's formation.
He smiled softly and nodded gently to Li Yanchao, Cao Wei and other Beiliang generals beside him.
Li Yanchao, Cao Wei and other generals understood the situation, and when Xu Fengnian gave the order, the horn sounded and they took the lead.
Forty thousand Liangzhou cavalry and Baima Congyi attacked the two Huai army formations head-on.
The military formation composed of Lianghuai infantry was easily torn through by the Beiliang cavalry.
Led by Li Yanchao and other generals, the Liangzhou cavalry and Baima Congyi who broke through the infantry phalanx showed no signs of slowing down. They leveled their spears and accelerated their sprint.
The crossbow army formation behind the infantry formation faced the Beiliang cavalry charging at full speed without causing any waves, and followed the infantry army to collapse.
Cai Nan also wanted to use the cavalry on both wings to resist, but how could these cavalry on the two Huai Roads withstand the iron cavalry that had experienced the wind and snow at the border, and was defeated like the two Huai troops in the second formation before.
When Xu Gong and Zhao Xun saw that Cai Nan's troops were defeated, they could not think of any plans and led their troops to save him.
But their move played into Xu Fengnian's plan.
The long-awaited Snow Dragon Cavalry surged past like a tidal wave, and Xu Communist's 20,000 elite troops from the capital and Zhao Xun's 50,000 Qingzhou Army collapsed at the first touch.
Cai Nan fled back to Lianghuai Road with only thirteen cavalry remnants, and Xu Gong and Zhao Xun were captured.
Horse hooves ricocheted, and the Central Plains shook.
Xu Fengnian's troops crossed Jing'an Road and crashed into the northern part of Jiangnan Road.
After three years of war between Lichu and Liyang, Jiangnan Road was no longer as prosperous as it once was.
Xu Feng led a cavalry army of 50,000 people and marched all the way forward, with overwhelming momentum.
The news of the defeat of Cai Nan and others and the memorial of Xu Fengnian's attack on Jing'an Road and Jiangnan Road spread to Tai'an City like snow flakes.
The 50,000 cavalrymen of the King of Northern Liang went south. Those famous families in various prefectures and counties had countless fertile fields and abundant grain reserves. Four of them were even called the "landlords" of the prefectures and counties, and there were more than ten of them. A wealthy family who had made comments like "innocent life" in the Liyang Dynasty greeted them respectfully, delivered countless grain and grass to the Northern Liang Army, and opened the city gates to welcome the arrival of the Northern Liang Army.
Among them, Jing'an Road was the first big household to welcome the Northern Liang army. The owner of the old family wore an old cold knife on his waist and fed the army with food and grass. This cold knife was used by the old Liang King Xu Xiao when he fought against Western Chu. For so many years, even the most pampered grandson in the family did not know that his grandfather had this knife in his collection.
Xu Fengnian personally presented the eighth-generation cold knife to the old patriarch.
After defeating Cai Nan and others, the Beiliang cavalry's journey southward was unimpeded until it reached the hinterland of Jiangnan Road.
Wherever the cavalry passed, people everywhere watched the wind and descended.
This move can be said to be a severe slap in the face of Li Yangchao, who believed that Tianyin was orthodox.
What happened next made Zhao Zhuan even more angry.
Xu Cong, who had high hopes from the imperial court, unexpectedly returned to Beiliang.
Emperor Liyang Zhao Zhuan ordered Lu Xiangsheng to leave Western Chu alone and destroy the 50,000 cavalry led by Xu Fengnian first.
Lu Xiangsheng also understood that if Xu Fengnian was allowed to gallop along Jiangnan Road, his 300,000-strong army would be cut off.
Once the way back is cut off, there will be nothing to destroy Chu.
No matter how unwilling he was, Lu Xiangsheng could only ensure his retreat first before talking about anything else.
Lu Xiangsheng returned to his division and led troops to garrison Wucai County in Jiangnan Road.
Three days later, Xu Fengnian arrived with 50,000 cavalry.
Although Lu Xiang had many troops, he did not dare to be careless in the face of the Beiliang cavalry that was rampant all over the world.
Because those who were careless are already in the prison of Beiliang Army.
Lu Xiangsheng observed that after Xu Fengnian was stationed, he sent out rangers to investigate.
The large group of cavalry stopped their horses and rested and camped on the spot. The Northern Liang ranger scouts still went out in groups and cast nets in all directions, returning ten miles away.
The evaluation of Beiliang Iron Cavalry in my heart has reached another level.
What he didn't know was that before the rangers scouted Youyi, each ranger commander would receive a terrain map from the scout leader. The drawing was extremely precise and rigorous, not only marking the names of the mountains and passes in detail, but also marking the names of the mountains and passes in detail. In many cases, records are even recorded at outposts in large and small villages. It is obvious that this map is definitely not a temporary collection, let alone borrowed from the local government army. It can only be recorded in the secrets of the border army in Beiliang. The archives, judging from the condition of the map paper, were only about three years ago.
This means that the Northern Liang Frontier Army, which has been in the Central Plains for twenty years, has never truly turned a blind eye to the Central Plains.
The Northern Liang Army and the Liyang Army faced off for more than ten days.
During this period, Lu Xiangsheng ordered his general Shi Dasheng to lead 30,000 troops to tentatively attack the Beiliang Army garrison, but was repelled by Chen Chuiyun.
After that, he tried many times, but was repelled by Cao Wei, Li Hanlin and other powerful Northern Liang generals.
Thanks for the reward from Li Meng, the God of Death.
