Dongping means the bottom level of the East Plain. The Wen River passes through it in the south and merges into the Jishui River. The Jishui River flows from west to south, causing flooding from time to time.

Without the burden of livestock, the march speed was much faster.

"Fifty miles ahead, we found Shi Min's vanguard of 5,000 men!" Just as they stepped into the Dongping territory, the scouts sent back the news.

"You came so quickly!" Wei Shan looked happy.

Li Yue waved his hand to wave the flag, and the soldiers rested on the spot and set up camp.

"Are there only five thousand people? Where is the rear army?" Li Yue asked the scouts.

"Five or six thousand rear troops appeared in Wuyan, and Shi Min Yahuan was also among them. Because the roads were muddy, eight or nine thousand cavalry were stranded behind."

"Keep an eye on their movements." We also had five or six thousand infantry lagging behind.

"Take orders!" The scout ran with his legs in the mud. Fortunately it was summer. If it were autumn or winter, these feet would definitely freeze to death.

The distance of fifty miles, plus the muddy road, would take at least two days, which was plenty of time.

The soldiers not only set up camp, but also dug trenches and set up antlers, waiting for Shi Min to go south.

However, two days passed, and Shi Min's army was delayed in arriving.

The forward force of 5,000 troops stationed troops at Dongpinglu, 30 miles away.

Although the heavy rain has stopped long ago, the muddy road will not recover in a day or two.

The terrain of Dongping Kingdom is low, and there are many swamps and lakes in the territory. The famous Liangshan Water Park in later generations is to the northwest.

After waiting for another day, the scout rushed to report, "General, the enemy's army of nearly 10,000 horses has crossed the Yellow River, from east to west, and their troops are pointing directly at Baimajin!"

"They are raiding our hometown!" Even Wei Shan could see the enemy's intention.

Behind Bai Majin is Chen Liu!

The main force of the Black Cloud Army is in Lu County, while the refugees who have just migrated are all concentrated in Chenliu.

It is now impossible for Shi Min to attack Lu County, but he can still attack Chenliu, which is empty of troops, rob and kill the refugees and trample the fields.

Once the refugees are killed and the fields are destroyed, the little vitality that Heiyun Mountain has just gathered will come to an end.

Everyone looked at Li Yue.

"General, our family members are all here in Chenliu!" The faces of Heiyun generals changed drastically.

Shi Min killed 30,000 surrendered soldiers in Pingjikeng and marched into Chenliu. He was afraid that no chickens or dogs would be left behind, his family members would be killed, and the morale of the army would also be weakened.

This move of Black Tiger's heart was well played. There was a heavy rain south of the Yellow River, but the north of the Yellow River was not affected, which was conducive to the galloping of the war horses.

However, after hearing the enemy's movements, Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid that the enemy would not take action, but he was afraid that he could not see through it. Shi Min originally had 20,000 troops, but he divided his troops into nearly 10,000 to attack the white horse. He was overconfident.

Of course, this is also his usual style.

Behind Baimajin, apart from Chenliu, there is Dongjun to the southeast.

Before sending troops, Li Yue had sent someone to tell Cui Jin and Zhou Qian to be careful of Shi Min.

And his 10,000 light cavalry can only take people by surprise and attack them unprepared. If they are seen through, there is nothing they can do.

The Wubao in Chenliu's territory was even tighter than that in Lu County. Zhou Qian still had 3,000 black cloud troops in his hands. How many of them could 10,000 cavalry break through?

Li Yue comforted everyone and said: "There is no need to panic. I have been prepared for it. The bandit army has rushed eastwards for thousands of miles and will return without success. We will take this opportunity to swallow up all the Zhao troops in Dongping!"

The light cavalry chasing Shi Min on two legs will definitely not be able to catch up, so it is better to concentrate the superior forces to deal with the enemy forces in Yanzhou.

The expressions of all the generals were refreshed.

Pu Xiong cupped his hands and said: "Thanks to the general's care, I have been in Lu County for many days without any incident or fighting. In this battle, our troops will be the vanguard and capture Shi Min alive!"

Li Yue knew that he was indirectly apologizing for the one-eyed general Meng Lang a few days ago. It just so happened that Li Yue also wanted to see the fighting strength of this elite Di people, "Then General Lao!"

The wind blew northward, and the army also marched northward.

Shi Min's five thousand vanguard built a camp on the plain.

Far away, Li Yue could see Gao Li's guard holding a big axe.

I failed to kill them all in Xingyang, but I didn't expect to meet them again here.

A row of horns soared into the sky, the three thousand Di soldiers in the van advanced slowly, and the Black Cloud Army advanced behind.

Before the two armies exchanged blows, sword rain was overwhelming.

The Gaoli Imperial Guards were good at shooting and had accurate archery skills, but the Di people all wore heavy armor and had shields, so the casualties caused were not large. Many people continued to advance forward with a few feather arrows stuck in their bodies.

Twenty or thirty people fell on each side, and then they fought hand to hand.

This is not the first time that Gaoli Imperial Guard and the Di people have fought against each other. When they were killed in Xingyang, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. Now that the enemies see each other, they are extremely jealous.

The war turned into daylight from the beginning, as if two evil dragons were strangling each other on the plain, and the blood instantly dyed the earth red and brown.

Although the Di troops were small, everyone rushed forward to kill them regardless of their own safety.

More than a dozen Di generals were particularly brave, including Pu Xiong, who all fought with swords in front.

One of the one-eyed generals was extremely brave, and the spear in his hand was much thicker than the others. He thrust out a spear, picked up a Gaoli guard, and smashed another Gaoli guard into a pulp amidst bursts of screams.

Within twenty steps, no enemy dared to face him...

Gao Li's Imperial Guard was as powerful as a mad dog under Liang Du, and was invincible. But now that he was recruited by Shi Min, his fighting spirit was not as good as before.

The fighting lasted for less than an hour and a half, and the five thousand Gaoli Imperial Guards were retreating steadily as they were killed by three thousand Di soldiers.

Many of them turned around and ran away.

This is very different from the time when Liang Du's men were brave and not afraid of death.

Once a person loses his spirit, he loses his fighting spirit.

As the Di Ren become bigger and stronger step by step under Pu Hong, the internal cohesion is at its strongest.

"It seems that Shi Min is nothing more than that!" Wei Shan grinned.

Li Yue glanced at the two fighting armies in front and shook his head, "You can never underestimate him."

This was said to him as well as to myself.

The war ended soon.

The Gaoli imperial guards were completely defeated and fled in all directions, while the Di army followed behind.

However, the muddy road made the pursuit inefficient. Many Gaoli guards abandoned their helmets and armor, and the number of people was much lighter.

The Di army had no horses and was wearing heavy armor. After fighting for nearly two hours, their physical strength was exhausted.

"Send an order to Pu Xiong to stop pursuing him." Out of good intentions, Li Yue had always avoided pursuing the enemy.

However, after the military order was issued, there was only a slight hesitation, but the pursuit did not stop.

The Di people had a grudge against the Gaoli Imperial Guards, and now that they were in high spirits when they met again, it was impossible to just retreat.

Li Yue has nothing to do with them now.

Especially the one-eyed general, who rushed to the front, roared repeatedly, stabbed several people to death one after another, lifted the corpses and poured blood on his body, and then laughed wildly.

The Di army pursued them further and further until they reached the end of the plain, where the grass was all over the sky.

At this moment, the horn suddenly sounded from the north, desolate and whimpering.

A dark yellow toothbrush stands between heaven and earth, with only a large word "stone" on it.

Under the teeth, dozens of Hu Jin generals surrounded a black-armored general. Thousands of armored soldiers stood with axes and spears, and two evil winds blew out of thin air.

Although they are both Gaoli Imperial Guards, the momentum of the two armies is completely different.

In the excitement, Di Jun rushed forward without knowing the depth...
