A team of Japanese samurai cavalry investigated in the northern suburbs of the King of Goryeo. The retainer of the Likawa family, Shishi Lianjiu, carried a bow and arrow, and a samurai sword hanging around his waist.

"The Liaodong Army may have arrived nearby, be careful."

There were about one hundred and fifty cavalrymen in the tenth hour.

A war eagle soared in the air, then swept down and landed on the shoulders of a Mongolian cavalry.

A Xia army general led 500 Mongolian cavalry as an outpost, approaching the northern suburbs of the King of Goryeo, and the Wuling Mountains less than 30 miles away from the royal city.

"Attacking the capital, you need to pass through Huiyin Ridge, Wangkexian, Lishixian, Wuling and other hilly roads, plains between hills, and some passes with the narrowest points of only a few dozen meters. This is difficult."

Di Qing led a small group of cavalry to the Wuling, and the reconnaissance cavalry of the Goryeo Kingdom might appear at any time nearby.

However, the more he investigated, the more he was frowning.

According to the planned marching route, the main force of the Xia army will go south along the mountain road of Huiyin Ridge.

When Di Qing went south to explore, he found that there were rugged and narrow hills, rivers, valley terrain along the way, and paddy fields were scattered on the small plains between the hills.

For the Xia army, which used cavalry on a large scale and even transferred cavalry from the prairie, this terrain was simply a disaster and severely restricted the movement of the cavalry.

Di Qing has no way to solve the terrain problem.

Except for a very small number of generals who can reduce the adverse effects of terrain, most generals cannot avoid the effects of terrain.

The 350,000 Liaodong Army cannot fully expand on such a terrain.

Similarly, the other party cannot launch a large army.

"General, not only that, the fog here is also quite serious, especially in the early morning."

“It’s true.”

Di Qing also noticed that the fog also had an impact on marching and fighting.

The fog and heavy rain are the time.

Hills, rivers, and valleys are the right place.

"A enemy's reconnaissance cavalry appears nearby!"

“How many people?”

"I don't know!"

"Catch it!"

Di Qing led the cavalry to meet the cavalry of the 10-minute cavalry of the Lihua family's retainer, Shi Shi Lianjiu, on the Wuling Mountain Road in the north of the King of Goryeo!

Di Qing estimated that the number of scout cavalry on the other side would not exceed 1,000, so when he saw the cavalry on the opposite side, he took the initiative to attack!

Shishi Lianjiu just saw the shadow of the Xia cavalry, and Di Qing dragged his sword and led 500 Mongolian cavalry to come!

Two cavalrymen broke out in outpost battle!

"It's the scout cavalry of the Xia army, retreat!"

Shishi Lianjiu immediately pulled out the samurai sword, and the sharp samurai sword was filled with cold light in the sun.

However, Shishi Lianjiu had no time to withdraw and was already caught up by five hundred Mongolian cavalry. Di Qing rode a horse and galloped to seek Shishi Lianjiu, who looked like the captain!

At one meeting, the knife in Di Qing's hand was cut off, and the samurai sword was broken into two pieces. Ten times a day, Di Qing was cut off the horse with one sword!

The Mongolian cavalry who were good at hunting whizzed by, easily cutting down 150 Japanese cavalry, and only a few Japanese warriors escaped successfully.

"How can you not defeat the less with the more?"

Di Qing bullied 150 Japanese cavalry from the other side with 500 Mongolian cavalry, but he did not get proud of it. In Di Qing's opinion, this was a matter of course.

If he can still lose with such an advantage, he probably cannot go back and explain.

Di Qing managed to draw down the detailed terrain around him and mark the other party's deployment.

There were more and more reconnaissance cavalry appearing around, and Di Qing had to retreat.

"The General Shishi Lianjiu was killed by the Xia army during his investigation in Wuling!"

Rikadao Xue led a group of retainers and warriors to set off from Kaijing. On the way, they learned that the general was killed ten o'clock in the battle, and they were moved.

The Shishi family is an important retainer of the Tachiha family, and one-third of the Tachiha family's troops come from the Shishi family.

The main forces of the two armies have not yet fought, and he has lost a general.

This is not the first time that Tachibana Daoxue has fought with the Xia army.

However, every time, Rika Daoxue failed to fight Chu Tian alone.

Tachibana Xue is one of the daimyos of Kyushu Island, one of the four islands in Japan. It is attached to the Otomo family. The Shimazu family defeated the Otomo family and unified the Kyushu Island. After Oda Nobunaga established the shogunate, he re-divided the territory of Kyushu Island and divided the land of Kyushu Island to various daimyos. The main city of the Tachibana was in Tachibana.

The Tachibana family and the Otomo family belong to the same force, while the Shimazu family belongs to another force, and both sides are the two most powerful forces on Kyushu Island.

This time, Shimazu Yoshihiro led 50,000 Japanese soldiers from Kyushu Island to support Li Chenggui, repelled Fubo's army, and then faced the Liaodong army.

However, fighting with the Xia army will kill people.

Tachibana Daoxue was heartbroken because of an important retainer who died in battle.

Shishi Lianzhen, one of the four great kings in Lihua Mountain City, was furious when he learned that Shishi Lianjiu, who was in the same family, was killed: "No matter who he is seeking Shishi Lianjiu's head, I will kill him!"

The other three of the four kings, Bu Weixin, An Dongjiazhong, and Takano Dasho, heard that they were killed in battle at ten o'clock, and their expressions were different.

Japan's Jiuzhou Island has a population of about three to four million. They are considered brave generals on Jiuzhou Island, but when they fight against the heavenly soldiers of the Han Empire on the battlefield of the Goryeo Kingdom, anyone may be killed.

Challenging the sect leader is going to take huge risks.

"Entertainment of the Han Dynasty, using the hilly valley north of Kaijing to defend, restrict the cavalry operations of the Han Empire and annihilate it."

The person who served as the commander of the coalition was Li Chenggui, who was familiar with the terrain of Goryeo.

Li Chenggui also knew that the Xia army had a terrifying number of cavalry. As long as Chu Tian was willing and the terrain allowed, Chu Tian could even recruit millions of cavalry.

Therefore, Li Chenggui chose the battlefield of the decisive battle as the hilly area in the north of the royal city.

"The Fire Dragon Legion has 25,000 people to be involved in the battle, including 2,000 dragon cavalry, 3,000 musketeers, 10,000 traditional cavalry and 10,000 slave soldiers. The Japanese seem to have suffered considerable losses in the outpost battle."

Brand, the commander of the Fire Dragon Legion, counted soldiers who could also fight.

Western-style fire dragon battle flags are waving, dragon cavalry and musketeers are arrogant. They are high-level troops in the United States, with higher status than traditional cavalry and slave soldiers.

Di Qing returned to the camp and met with Prince Yan, who was the pioneer general: "We must pass through Huiyin Ridge as soon as possible, occupy Wangkexian, and sharpen Shixian, otherwise if these terrain are occupied by the Goryeo coalition forces, it will be difficult to move south."

Prince Yan got the detailed topographic map drawn by Di Qing and fell into deep thought: "The terrain here is not suitable for large cavalry combat. The flat plain terrain is broken, and there are also a lot of muddy farmland."

Di Qing was just as worried as Prince Yan: "The last general had the same idea, but in some spacious places, it could still allow thousands of cavalry to charge. As for tens of thousands of cavalry to charge at the same time, it was almost impossible."

"No matter what, only by taking these places can you win Kaijing."

Prince Yan knew the disadvantages of the terrain, but at this time he could only go south with a tough bullet and see the melee, the generals of both sides adapted to the situation, and the elite level of troops they put in.

Before continuing to move south, Prince Yan sent someone to greet Le Yi and Li Mu and asked them to keep up as soon as possible.

Fifty thousand Mongolian cavalry entered Huiyin Ridge and rushed straight to Wangkexian.

Because the valley was narrow and could not accommodate 50,000 Mongolian cavalry and a large number of baggage teams, Di Qing commanded about 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard of Mongolian cavalry.

"Wangkexian... Here is a little strange..."

After Di Qing left, Prince Yan saw an inn in Wangkexian on the topographic map.

After 50,000 Mongolian cavalry crossed Huiyin Ridge, they faced Wangkexian, which was heading northeast to southwest.

Wangkexian's saddle can march, but it is narrow.

After passing Wangkexian, it is a slight silence, and you also need to cross the saddle between the two hills.

This area is the most dangerous for the Xia army.

Prince Yan recruited an indigenous person from Goryeo and asked him about the location in the southeast of Wangkexian: "There is an inn here and a granary is marked, does it have a name?"

The natives of Goryeo replied: "Sir, this place is called Bitiguan."

Because Di Qing went to investigate in person, he was familiar with the road and led 5,000 cavalrymen into several teams, quickly crossed Huiyin Ridge, arrived at Wangkexian, and occupied Bitiguan Station.

"The Anhui in the middle of Wangkexian is suitable for marching. After passing through the Anhui, it is a small plain that facilitates cavalry operations. You stay at the post station and support the rear army."

The troops Di Qing was best at commanding were also cavalry, so he tended to march in areas with flat terrain.

Di Qing left 500 cavalry guarding the Bitiguan and personally commanded 4,500 Mongolian cavalry to continue moving south.

With the size of the troops commanded by Di Qing, it is no longer considered a reconnaissance, but the vanguard of the Xia army.

To the south of Wangkexian is Li Shixian. When Di Qing passed through Wangkexian, the legion of the Kyushu army, the vanguard of the coalition forces, passed through the Ankle of Li Shixian and was about to enter the broken plain between Wangkexian and Shixian.

The Akira Kamiyaki was the first formation of the retainer of Lekka Ono Shin-yuki, who was the retainer of Lekka, and 2,000 people, Yubu Weixin, one of the four kings of Lekka, was the middle formation, with 1,500 people, and the back formation was personally commanded by Lekka Ono, with 5,000 people.

"Lord, please be the first step!"

Shishi Lianzhen, one of the four great kings in Lihua Mountain City, wanted to avenge her cousin because her cousin Shishi Lianqiu was killed, so she took the initiative to ask the head of the family, Rikadaoxue, to take the lead.

Tachibana Daoxue was calm: "If you are impulsive, you will be defeated."

Shishi Lianzhen pulled out the samurai sword: "It would rather die!"

Tachibana Yuki thought for a long time, but finally nodded: "Yuki Ono Town changed to the captain of the surprise troops. He adopted the tactic of showing weakness in the first formation."

Shishi Lianzhen knew that Takika Dojue had agreed to his request, so she put on her helmet and rode her horse to take over the 2,000-person pioneer troops.

Tachibana Yuki divided 800 troops from the back to give Ono Shin-yuki, making him a surprise soldier.

Shishi Lianzhen took over the first formation, and took the lead in crossing the Anmen and approached Wangkexian.

The snow on the stand of the flower path looks at the sky.

The actions of the two armies occurred in the early morning. When both sides entered Lishixian and Wangkexian, the sky was already slightly white.

Tachibana Snow felt the murderous aura in the air.

The scout leader of the Xia army suddenly slashed the Ten-Shi Lianjiu of the Lihua family, indicating that the main force of the Xia army should be about to arrive here, and a large-scale encounter may occur at any time.
