Capturing this Wubao would have indescribable benefits to the morale of the Song army. Zhu Lingshi also informed Liu Yu of this news in Luoyang.

"very good!"

A fort is not important, but victory in the first battle is undoubtedly good news.

"It seems that we can also march in Hebei!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the Northern Wei Dynasty's attention was all on Hedong, Liu Yu planned to make some moves in Hebei to make the Northern Wei Dynasty confused about the direction of his main attack.

There are "Eight Passes of Luoyang" near Luoyang, among which the key points in the north are Mengjin and Xiaopingjin.

At this time, Liu Yu sent Tan Daoji to set out from Mengjin to try to cross the river and attack Wen County in Hebei.

In addition, Liu Yu also asked Zhu Chaoshi to cross the river from Aocang to Hanoi County, and he and Tan Daoji were at odds with each other, so that Hebei general Xi Jin could not attack with all his strength.

Tan Daoji led 5,000 soldiers out of Mengjin and attacked Wenxian County. He did not encounter much resistance. The defenders along the Northern Wei Dynasty offered almost no resistance and let the Song army attack the north bank.

This is not because the Northern Wei Dynasty gave up.

On the contrary, they are very smart.

Now the Northern Wei Dynasty wants to release the Song army to the open areas of Hebei.

Then you can use cavalry to strangle.

Although Hedong and Hebei both focus on "keeping", their methods are quite different.

Changsun Song of Hedong wanted to fight Zhu Lingshi for every inch of territory, but Xi Jin of Hebei obviously hoped to lure the Song army to Hebei and then use cavalry to deal with the Song army once and for all.

Both of these two are famous generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, and they will magnify their advantages several times.

After Tan Daoji arrived in Wenxian County, Zhu Chaoshi of Huatai also led 5,000 people to cross the river and find a foothold in Hanoi County to the north of the river.

Different from the situation faced by Tan Daoji, Zhu Chaoshi encountered extremely stubborn resistance.

It seems that the Northern Wei Dynasty did not want the Song army to reach Hanoi County.

Hanoi County has been a sacred place since ancient times and many cities were built there.

It seems that Xi Jin was afraid that the Song army would rely on the strong city in Hanoi to deal with him, so he deployed a large number of troops in Hedong to prevent Zhu Chaoshi from setting foot in Hanoi.

"You want to stop me?"

Zhu Chaoshi in Aocang looked at the Song army that had not rushed to the north bank several times in a row, and knew that it was time for him to use his trump card.

As the younger brother of Zhu Lingshi, Zhu Chaoshi is also good at literature and martial arts, and is expected to become the fourth handsome man after Tan Daoji, Zhu Lingshi, and Wang Zhene.

Facing Bei'an, which he couldn't defeat many times, he already had a plan in mind.

"Put the chariot on the ship, and I, the general, will show these thugs a show!"

Aocang is located downstream of Sanmenxia and is connected to the inland water system, so Zhu Chaoshi's ship is not the small speedboat used by Zhu Lingshi to cross Puban, but a huge warship that travels across the river.

This huge warship can transport hundreds of soldiers and dozens of tanks at a time. Moreover, the warship is huge and the clouds block the sun, which has a natural advantage when attacking from the deck of the ship.

After countless warships departed from the south bank and were transported to the north bank, the Song army first rolled out the chariot and opened it in a crescent shape. Then they put a crossbow on the chariot and pointed the spear and halberd at the enemies on the shore.

This trick is exactly the Queyue Formation invented by Liu Yu.

The chariots were formed into a semicircle with their backs against the river bank, and the soldiers hid in the chariots to resist the opponent's cavalry. At the same time, archers could also be deployed on the chariots in the water to attack the enemies below.

Liu Yu used this move to defeat the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty before, but now it seems that the Northern Wei Dynasty still doesn't have a long memory.

The war horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty could drive the fragile body into the river, but trying to hit this wooden chariot was still a bit unsightly.

It is also said that Zhu Chaoshi had anticipated such a day and inserted large and small metal fragments into the front of the tank in order to increase the damage of the tank.

When the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty saw the appearance of Queyue Formation, they first wanted to attack from the side, but the arrows discharged from the warship told them that this way was impassable.

If you don't want to face the firepower of the warships in the river, you can only rush past the Moon Formation from the front.

A large number of Northern Wei cavalry turned around and gathered in front of Queyue Formation.

The leading Northern Wei general took a deep breath.

He had heard of the reputation of Queyue Formation before.

But after hearing it all, he didn't really believe that there was any invincible formation in this world.

In other words, among the torrent of cavalry, there is no invincible formation.

"charge!"

After organizing their formation, the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty began to attack the Queyue Formation position with all their might, hoping to tear a hole through the gap between the chariots and drive the Song soldiers in the Queyue Formation down the river to feed the fish!

Seeing the Northern Wei cavalry rushing towards them desperately, the Song soldiers in Queyue Formation smiled sarcastically.

"Silly barbarian!"

The speed of the cavalry is getting faster and faster, and the strong wind brought by the opponent can be felt from a hundred steps away.

The Song sergeant held the weapon in his hand and calculated the distance between the two sides based on the sound of horse hooves.

A hundred steps.

Fifty steps.

Ten steps.

That's it now!

The Song army all sent out their weapons, and the chariots that were originally harmless to humans and animals instantly sprouted countless fangs and bit the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

The sound of flesh being pierced resounded throughout the battlefield, accompanied by the painful wails of war horses.

When the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, who did not believe in evil, saw this terrifying scene, he knew that he was terribly wrong.

The impact of war horses is not omnipotent.

The chariots were as solid as city walls at this time, and it was said that there were countless sharp blades on them, which was a complete disaster for the cavalry galloping away.

"withdraw troops!"

Although the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty was arrogant, he was not stubborn. After seeing the power of Queyue Formation, he immediately retreated with his cavalry. At the same time, he informed the commander Xi Jin of the information obtained by testing the lives of his soldiers.

After Xi Jin learned about the battle situation, he immediately sent letters to various Wei troops on the north bank of the river——

"Don't fight against the Song army who are fighting against the enemy!"

The power of Queyue Formation lies in the coordinated operation of infantry and navy.

As long as the Song army came to land 1 in a serious manner, it would be useless even if the Song army surrounded the chariots into iron barrels, they would be exhausted sooner or later.

As a result, Xi Jin almost gave up all the territory near the river in Hebei, huddled his troops in the city, and quietly waited for the Song army to come.

After Zhu Chaoshi successfully established a foothold in Hanoi, he also began to have peace talks with Tan Daoji.

Now after landing, the ultimate test question for Song Jun——

How to fight?

If you are too far away from the river, you will easily be cut off from your retreat, and be dumped by the Northern Wei cavalry who come and go like the wind.

But if you don’t leave the river... what is the Northern Expedition?

It can only be said that Xi Jin's move of retreating in order to advance allowed the Northern Wei Dynasty to preserve its troops and created huge problems for the Song army.

After planning together for a long time, Tan Daoji and Zhu Chaoshi finally decided on tactics.

"The battle in Hebei must not be delayed. If we delay, it will give the opponent's cavalry time to surround us."

"And you can't advance too aggressively, otherwise you will still be cut off by the opponent's cavalry."

This is the sad part of infantry fighting in places like Hebei.

But there is no way.

The two set their sights on a large city built near the water.

Huai County is the seat of Hanoi County.
