"Rumbling..." The loud shouts filled the sound of horse hooves. The two sides were full of undulating iron helmets, and the red tassels on the iron helmets fluttered in pieces, like red flowers growing on the torrent of steel.

The horse soldiers in the Yeji tribe ahead were in such an environment, and people were no longer willing to rush inside! When they looked back, they saw that the Dangxiang formation was falling apart, a large number of horses were turning around and running eastward, and the Dangxiang soldiers on the flank were also retreating. How could the Yeji tribe still be willing to go forward to die? The soldiers stopped the war horses.

Soon, the iron cavalry at the bottom of the center of the goose-shaped formation had approached. They were like clouds of flags and swords and guns, and terrifying square formations were coming straight, without a moment of pause!

Ye Ci first agreed to break the goose-shaped formation from the middle of the enemy! But no one believed that the scene in front of him could be broken from the front. It was a thick iron wall that was moving like a moving ︽︽︽︽, ︾.●↗.⊥!

"Bang bang..." Dangxiang people pulled their bows and shot arrows one after another, and arrows flew in the air. The arrows seemed to ignite Mars in the oil barrel, and immediately boiled in front of them, and square formations accelerated and ran.

A war horse running at high speed rushed into the Yeci crowd. The war horse was afraid of the swords and guns being whistled, but stopped at all. "Pu!" The iron spear in the hand of the knight Xu Jun hit the chest of a Dangxiang man. In a scream, the iron spear penetrated the torso of a man. In an instant, the spear head was transmitted from the back, and there was bloody flesh hanging on it!

The Knight Xu Jun let go, and his men and horses flew past the side, leaving only the Dangxiang people who had not yet fallen, with an iron spear inserted into their torso.

"Swish!" The Knight Xu Jun immediately pulled out the saber from his back without thinking. The blade was forward and horizontally on the side. Suddenly, a scream of fear came from the knight before he could see clearly what was going on. He felt like he didn't grab the tiger's mouth hard and it felt like it was numb on his hands. He felt hot blood splattering on the back of his hands.

Then he sat down and neighed, and suddenly his front hooves knelt on the ground. The knight seemed to push it out of the horse's back, and fell to the ground with a thump, rolling on the grass, and countless horse hooves were trampling around...

Xu Jun rushed into the Dangxiang people's camp, and the two sides fought in a mess, and they were already in chaos.

But at this time, the cavalry formations formed in a queue behind continued to rush up! Xu Jun's cavalry's posture was almost the same. First, he grabbed the cherry gun with his right hand, clamped his arms to stabilize his posture, and grabbed the reins with his left hand and ran on the horse. When he accelerated the charge, everyone lifted the cherry gun with both hands and rushed forward with his head!

They all knew what they were going to do, and what they wanted to do was very simple, without hesitation, without choice, and whether they were afraid was no longer important. A large number of galloping iron-hoofed war horses could not stop, and the huge horse hooves behind seemed to drive everyone forward and charge.

General Xiang of the Dang looked at the fierce battles ahead and shouted to the leader of Ye Ci: "Let's retreat, this battle is not very easy to fight..." The noise around him was like thunder, and the man's voice was quickly drowned, and the second half of the sentence was covered in a huge roar.

On the undulating grassland, the cavalry of Xu's army was swept by like a hurricane, and the Dangxiang army was defeated. A hasty battle was like a thunderstorm, a storm, quickly passing by and blowing away everything.

...The panic-like pursuit from morning to afternoon. Li Yiyin fled to the desert north. When Xu Jun did not chase him, there were only a dozen people left by his side.

The group was dejected and sighed from time to time.

The sun was dazzling on his head, making people's face hurt. The sand below made the horse walk deep and shallow. Li Yiyin suddenly strangled the horse, and the man climbed down from the horse, raised his head and stood in the endless desert.

"King King..." Someone shouted, and everyone gradually stopped moving forward. People looked at him silently, and had nothing to say for a moment.

Li Yiyin stood in the sun for a long time, feeling smoke in his throat and his head dizzy from the sun.

Finally someone advised: "King Khan, I will keep the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood."

Li Yiyin opened his eyes and said, "How can he escape?"

The followers immediately looked back and forth, and there was sand all over the place, which was very desolate. A man with disheveled hair said, "The place where the battle in the morning was not far from Feng'an Old City (the county town in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was abandoned, roughly in the modern Zhongwei City). Later, we ran north into the desert. Now it is probably north of Feng'an Old City."

After hearing this, everyone agreed and agreed to the man’s statement.

The man Dangxiang said again: "If you want to talk about water, food and grass, it is the best to go south. Feng'an's area is rich in water and grass. It is leaning against the Yellow River. There are several rivers and lakes. The Dangxiang tribe was originally there, but when Feng Jiye came, most of them avoided the west... Now in the hands of Xu Jun, we will definitely be caught if we are in a hurry to go south."

He looked at the direction of the sun again, "There is sand to the north, but as long as you can keep walking, there is a small river after passing the big hill, and there are still some herders in the Dangxiang area."

Li Yiyin said weakly: "I walked that road and continued to go north to Helan Mountain. The Lingzhou grassland is the territory of Xu Jun. You can only walk from the west of Helan Mountain. This road can connect to the Great Liao Kingdom in the north. However, it is easy to get lost. Most of the places along the way are deserts, which are very difficult to walk... After we lose Xiazhou, only this road can connect to the Liao Kingdom in the north, and there is no choice."

His subordinate asked, "King Khan plans to go north to Liao Kingdom?"

Li Yiyin did not comment and said, "We don't have much water anymore, so look for the water source first and then make a decision."

...

In the grassland on the north bank of the Yellow River, the sunset was hanging above the faint shadow of the mountain in the distance, and the light gradually faded. Li Chuyun and a group of people came to ride horses, gradually slowing down the horses. He was looking at the scene in front of him. The grassland was full of corpses, and some unmanned war horses were still running in the wilderness. The soldiers of Xu Jun led the horses around and picked up things on the ground.

Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor, turned around and said, "Send someone to find Shi Yanchao and ask him to report back and forth. Order to send a messenger to meet Feng Jiye, informing the founding Duke and the main force of the Hexi Army that had arrived, and let him meet."

"Get orders!"

Li Chuyun had learned that the Xu army's cavalry had won a great victory, but there was no surprise. As long as he expected, with the temporary patchwork of the Dangxiang tribe army in the west, if they could defeat the imperial guards led by Shi Yanchao? They were the most elite troops in Daxu. If they could not even defeat such a battle, the Daxu dynasty would not have to expand its territory, and they would not have the strength at all!

"Xu!Xu..." Li Chuyun gently pulled the reins and asked the horse to stop. He pointed to the east and said, "Walking along the Yellow River, it should be Feng'an's old place?"

Wei Renpu said: "That's right, I advise you that the army can go to Feng'an to camp tomorrow, which is a good place."

Wei Renpu was very interested in this place, as if he had been there personally, and talked: "The rivers and lakes are rich in water, the weather is cool, and the grass and trees are lush. The land between the Lingzhou Plain and Hexi is rich and beautiful. Not only can it be animal husbandry, but even crops can be planted, but hail occasionally destroys the crops... But such a good place does not need to farm, it has greater use: raise war horses!

If China wants to return to the north, cavalry is indispensable. Since we need to raise horses, we should be far less likely to be in the northern borders in the Central Plains and Jianghuai."

Li Chuyun finished listening patiently and said, "Duke Wei and I have similar views, so I use this plan."

Wei Renpu seemed to be in a state of excitement and said with some sigh: "The Qin and Han dynasties were our territory, but unfortunately it has been completely abandoned in recent decades. It is not easy for us to preserve a Lingzhou in the northwest."

Li Chuyun said in a deep voice: "Duke Wei, Hexi is extremely east, and it is a great place!"

At this moment, a team of horse soldiers ran over from a distance, and the plate armor was shining brightly in the setting sun. When the knights approached, Shi Yanchao, who was currently burly and huge, clasped his fists on the horse's back and made a shabby military salute to deal with the matter... The coach Li Chuyun and Wei Renpu were unwilling to care about it. Shi Yanchao was already very proud of his tribute to them.

Shi Yanchao said loudly: "Dangxiang barbarians are vulnerable. Damn, people run everywhere, it's hard to chase them!"

Li Chuyun said kindly: "Shi Shi Feng made new achievements, which is gratifying."

Shi Yanchao snorted, looking bored, as if he felt that today's battle was not inspiration.

Li Chuyun said again: "This battle will shock the troops of the Dangxiang in the western region. They will never dare to gather troops to become enemies with the Xu army for a long time. Our troops can calmly clean up a large area of ​​land along the Yellow River. General Shi has made great contributions."

Shi Yanchao still had a stern face, but seemed to be very helpful to him, but he said, "The captured prisoner said that Li Yiyin was in the Dangxiang Army, but unfortunately he was not caught."

Li Chuyun said: "Don't pay attention to him, and you don't have to chase the defeated soldiers anymore. Snatch up the troops and rest for a night, and go east to Feng'an's old city tomorrow."

That night, Li Chuyun discussed the strategy with the Central Army and decided to stay in Feng'an first and build a Liuhua Fort... It was not for garrisoning the army. If a fortress with tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry would have to be built very much, and it took too long; Li Chuyun decided to build a fort here mainly to store grain. In recent years, Lingzhou has hoarded a large amount of military rations, which can be transported south along the Yellow River to Feng'an Fort for the needs of the imperial army.

Several officials secretly discussed and encouraged Feng Jiye to continue to harass the Dangxiang Ranch and forced them to migrate away from the Yellow River to prevent the Dangxiang people from harassing the military's rations.

Li Chuyun's goal was not to settle the score with the Dangxiang tribe... If the court spent countless money to mobilize tens of thousands of elite troops to conquer and punish the Dangxiang people for looting war horses, that would be an extremely stupid act. Li Chuyun knew very well what the emperor planned, and what Guo Shao wanted was the entire Hexi!

Guo Shao bet on the lives of thousands of soldiers and got back from Japan. He spent a lot of money on the Western Expedition Army, and it was definitely not a waste of money. He had to give the emperor enough rewards!
