Jiang Zichuan, the governor of Youzhou, had long heard that Li Feiyu was a lecherous person. Yan Song was not satisfied even after giving him ten beauties. He also encouraged Yan Song's son to go to the Baihua Pavilion in the capital every day to look for flowers and willows.
Wang Dachui has never heard of this rumor.
Because Yan Kuan himself took Wang Dachui there every time he went to Baihua Pavilion. If Wang Dachui knew who was spreading such nonsense, he would probably tear that person's mouth apart.
Now seeing Li Feiyu looking around at the city gate, Jiang Zichuan even had a misunderstanding: "I think Li Feiyu came here to see if he brought a beautiful woman to reward him!"
However, 'Li Feiyu' came all the way according to the emperor's order. Although the time was delayed by two months, Youzhou Prefect Jiang Zichuan still suppressed the anger of scolding his mother and asked politely: "I Jiang Zichuan, Jiang Zichuan Li General, please forgive me for being too far away to greet you!"
"I wonder what General Li is looking at?"
When Wang Dachui saw that Zhou Yi was no longer behind Jiang Zichuan, he asked, "Why haven't General Tiance and Marshal Pingnu Zhou Yi arrived yet?"
Jiang Zichuan was startled when he heard Wang Dachui mentioning Zhou Yi. Then he realized that Wang Dachui was not looking to see if there was a beauty behind him, but looking for Zhou Yi.
Jiang Zichuan responded quickly: "General Li, Marshal Zhou has not come to my Youzhou yet."
"It's strange. When I was training troops in Bingzhou, he sent someone to ask me to meet him in Yongding City. Why, I've already arrived, but he hasn't come yet!"
Hearing what Wang Dachui said, Jiang Zichuan suddenly felt very confused.
Logically speaking, Zhou Yi sent someone to send a message to Wang Dachui, and he should have set out from Yongzhou to Yongding first. But now that Wang Dachui has arrived, Zhou Yi has not arrived, which is somewhat strange.
Just as the two of them were making wild guesses, a group of scouts from the Youzhou army came galloping over on horses.
Before the horse came to a complete stop, the scout jumped off his horse, ran to Jiang Zichuan in three steps and said, "Go back to the governor, General An defeated the Di army, killed three thousand enemies, and recovered the two counties." . Now we only have three cities in Youzhou, Zitong, Lingcheng and Xiasha, which are still in the hands of the enemy."
When Jiang Zichuan heard the good news, his face suddenly filled with a smile. When he looked at Wang Dachui, there was a look of pride on his face, as if to say, "I don't need your help, Li Feiyu, I can still regain the lost ground with the help of Youzhou soldiers."
Unlike Jiang Zichuan's happiness, Wang Dachui was full of anxiety and worry at the moment.
So Wang Dachui dispatched more than ten teams of scouts with great enthusiasm, asking them to go in the direction of Yongzhou to inquire about the enemy's situation.
What Jiang Zichuan didn't know was that Zhou Yi's troops were currently holding down the army of the Xiongnu general Zhan Mutie in Zitong County, where Youzhou and Yongzhou meet.
Zhan Mutie stationed 50,000 elite troops in Zitong County, 20,000 elite troops in Lingcheng, and 30,000 elite troops in Xiasha. And he himself is also in Zitong County.
When Zhou Yi left Yongzhou, he wanted to capture Zitong County first to strengthen his army. However, he did not want to run into Zhan Mutie's army who wanted to rush northeast from Zitong into Yongzhou.
At that time, the two armies met in a hurry on the plain. Zhan Mutie's cavalry troops marched in the form of a long snake, while Zhou Yi's troops happened to be resting in place at that time. Both sides did not expect this encounter. .
The cavalry charge does not just charge forward one by one. If they attack the local camp like that, it is like a gourd boy saving grandpa, sending them off one after another.
After discovering Zhou Yi's large army, Zhan Mutie immediately ordered the formation of the troops.
After Zhou Yi discovered Zhan Mutie's army, he immediately ordered the army to gather into a circular formation.
Following Zhou Yi's order, the 80,000-strong army immediately shrank into four circular formations in accordance with the training requirements, two by two.
In addition, Zhou Yi also ordered people to surround the Wugang chariots outside the circular formation to slow down the impact of the sluggish Huns cavalry.
The Wugang chariots made by Zhou Yi were two feet long and one foot four wide. They had spears attached to the outside and large shields on the inside.
This Wugang vehicle can not only transport soldiers, food and weapons, but can also be used for combat. The crossbowmen of Zhou Yi's army could hide behind Wugang's chariot and shoot arrows through the shooting holes in the chariot.
Thousands of Wugang vehicles are linked together to form a temporary war fortress.
Zhou Yi learned this move from General Wei Qing.
"Historical Records: Biography of General Wei's Hussars" records: "So the general (Wei Qing) ordered Wugang's chariot to circle the camp, and sent five thousand horsemen to serve as the Huns."
This is a good way that our ancestors came up with to use infantry to deal with the Huns' cavalry. Our ancestors had realized thousands of years ago that humankind's war was inseparable from tower defense.
After Zhan Mutie ordered his people to assemble a cavalry team of 3,000 people, he immediately ordered them to attack the first circular formation on the left side of Zhouyi.
There was a time when Chen's infantry would not have been able to withstand the attack of the Huns' cavalry if they did not rely on the city and geographical advantages. Now Zhanmu Tie still thinks so.
In Zhanmu Tie's view, as long as this group of 3,000 cavalrymen tear a hole in the 'Round Turtle Formation' in front of them, even if the remaining army does not form a formation, dealing with them will still be like wolves among sheep. Unrivaled.
However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
When Zhan Mutie's three thousand cavalry rushed to the front, they suddenly slowed down again.
It was precisely in this decelerating circle that a burst of arrows shot out, and a hundred Hun cavalry were shot off their horses on the spot.
The leading Hun general had to change direction and attack to the left, trying to find a weak point that was not blocked by the Wugang chariot. While circling, Zhanmuthee saw dozens of Hun soldiers being shot by arrows and falling off their horses.
The arrows fired from his side seemed like raindrops and had no effect at all.
It wasn't until the young general led thousands of cavalry in a circle that he returned to the starting point again.
Zhanmu Tie held a riding whip and rode a horse, walking towards the person who led the team before.
Zhanmu Tie severely whipped the young general who had just led the charge with his riding crop, and asked angrily: "Why didn't you attack just now? So many lives were lost in vain."
Although the young general Attila was whipped, he did not confirm it, but argued with reason: "Then the Chen army built a shield wall full of spear points in front of the army. In addition, they had three spear shields on the outside. Soldiers, followed by triple crossbowmen. If they rush into the team I lead rashly, no one will survive."
Attila is actually a young general that Zhan Mu Tie is very optimistic about, otherwise Zhan Mu Tie would not let Attila be the first to lead the charge. However, Attila is too young after all, and some Huns veterans disagree. I think Attila is timid.
So someone took the initiative to ask for a fight, hoping to break Zhou Yi's team and teach Attila a deep lesson.
