"An alliance is not desirable. There are no suitable allies.”
Another general, An Xinggui, said in a deep voice.
Li Gui remained silent, silently agreeing to An Xinggui's words.
Since the alliance was not desirable and they were not a match for the Han army in a head-on clash, how should they deal with the Han army?
"We will temporarily strengthen the border defense and pay attention to the movements of the Han army.”
Li Gui could only helplessly give the order.
This was the only thing they could do at the moment.
"Yes."
An Xiuren cupped his hands in response.
Immediately, everyone retreated from the meeting hall and began to strengthen their defenses in Zhangye Prefecture and other places.
"I hope I can survive this tribulation.”
Li Gui muttered to himself.
"Ta…Ta…"
At this moment, Li Cunxiao had already led 10,000 white horse followers to the gates of Jin City.
When Li Jing and Wu Yunzhao heard the news, they specially went out of the city to welcome them.
"What happened?"
Li Jing looked at the white horse servant behind Li Cunxiao and asked in confusion.
"Duke Han ordered us to attack the Zhang Ye Army.”
Li Cunxiao answered succinctly.
After saying that, he told them about the Bei Wei Army and their strategy.
"I see."
Li Jing finally understood.
"Duke Han's spirit is extraordinary, and the Cao family's foundation is even deeper.”
Wu Yunzhao was rather emotional.
"If that's the case, then let's lead the army and move towards Huangshui City.”
Li Jing thought for a moment and made a decision.
"Yes."
Wu Yunzhao answered directly, ignoring his exhaustion.
In fact, they had just conquered Jin City Prefecture and other places not long ago. Moreover, many battles had made them feel tired.
However, he heard that they were going to attack the Zhang Ye Army, and they were going to use Lei Ting's methods.
"Gah…Gah…"
Wu Yunzhao and Li Jing perked up for a moment, anticipating the upcoming battle.
Bai Ma Yi immediately set off for Huangshui City.
Because they wanted to attract the attention of the Zhang Ye Army, there was quite a commotion along the way.
Wherever the cavalry passed, dust would fly.
The Zhang Ye Army had already strengthened their defenses, and the scouts around them immediately noticed the Han Army's movements.
"Quick, send the news back."
They immediately sped up their horses and relayed the urgent military situation.
When the news reached Zhang Ye, Li Gui's expression changed drastically.
"How is this possible?"
He looked at the scout who reported the news in disbelief.
"Is that true?"
An Xiuren and the others hurriedly asked.
"Everything I said is true."
the scout said firmly.
"Are these Han soldiers crazy?"
Li Gui frowned. The Han army had just ended their battle with the Longxi army, and they had also encountered the Sui army.
At this juncture, they should be stabilizing the various regions. Why would they immediately send troops to them?
"How many soldiers?"
At this moment, Li Boyu asked an important question.
"Young Master, I estimate that there are about ten thousand cavalry.”
the scout replied.
"Hmph, what an arrogant Han army. They only sent ten thousand cavalry and they plan to take down Zhangye?”
Li Gui snorted coldly.
"My lord, it seems that the Han army has been blinded by victory and has become so arrogant.”
An Xinggui looked murderous.
"That's right. This might be our military's opportunity.”
Liang Shuo said with narrowed eyes.
"Everyone, do you have any suggestions?"
Li Gui suppressed his anger and asked.
"My lord, we will naturally lead our troops to attack and defeat the Han army in one go. We will take advantage of the situation to take over the territory that the Longxi Army originally had.”
Liang Shuo suggested.
"Father, I agree. We can't miss this opportunity.”
Li Boyu echoed.
The other two generals were already filled with battle intent, so there was naturally no need to say anything.
"Alright, then we'll mobilize 10,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry to defeat the arrogant Han army in one go.”
Li Gui didn't hesitate and gave the order.
"Yes."
All the civil and military officials heard the order and quickly mobilized their troops.
"Let's go!"
When the army gathered, Li Gui personally led the troops out. Other than An Xinggui and Liang Shuo who stayed behind, the rest followed.
The army was vast and mighty as it headed straight for the Huang River.
The Han army's marching speed was not slow. By the time the Zhang Ye army arrived at the Huang River, they had been waiting for a long time.
"Haha, Li Gui, Xue Ju has been killed, why aren't you going to surrender?”
Li Jing shouted as the two armies confronted each other.
"Impudent!"
Hearing this, Li Gui flew into a rage. This was simply looking down on him.
"A mere 10,000 cavalry dares to act so arrogantly against me. Who is willing to go out and take the head of the enemy general?”
Li Gui glanced at the surrounding generals and said.
"This subordinate requests to fight!"
An Xiuren took a step forward.
"Yes."
Li Gui didn't waste any time and directly agreed.
"Sou…"
Immediately after, the cavalry of the two armies confronted each other, and a murderous aura rapidly condensed.
"Kill them!"
An Xiuren didn't waste any time and directly ordered to charge.
"Rumble…"
The horses stomped on the ground, and muffled thunder sounded. The ten thousand cavalry charged toward the Han army with a mighty momentum.
"Kill them!"
Li Jing did not want to be outdone. He suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted. Ten thousand white horses lined up and charged in a U-shaped formation.
Halfway through, he drew his bow and started shooting at the middle distance.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh…"
The dense rain of arrows set off gusts of hurricanes that engulfed the enemy cavalry.
"Shoot!"
An Xiuren shouted and the Zhang Ye cavalry also returned fire.
However, how could their riding and archery skills be compared to the white horse?
Not only was he not as accurate, but his speed was also not as fast as White Horse Yi.
In addition, White Horse Yi Cong's formation changed rapidly, avoiding a large number of arrows.
On the contrary, the Zhang Ye cavalry suffered some casualties. In the blink of an eye, the rain of arrows ended and the two armies collided.
"Kill them!"
White Horse Yi Cong used his scimitar to fight, and he used his unique mobility to charge back and forth many times.
Each of their soldiers could perfectly cooperate with each other to kill the enemies, making the Zhangye army unable to fight back.
"Ah…"
For a moment, screams rang out continuously as the Zhang Ye cavalry fell in groups.
" This, what powerful combat strength!"
Li Gui's pupils constricted when he saw this. He did not expect the Han cavalry to be so impressive.
"Damn it!"
An Xiuren realized that his army was in a bad situation. If this continued, they would definitely face a great defeat.
Moreover, they began to form a circle of encirclement, intending to annihilate these ten thousand enemy cavalry.
"Infantry, press forward."
Sensing that something was wrong, Li Gui hurriedly ordered.
"Yes."
The 50,000 infantry at the back moved and pressed forward.
"Do your best to eliminate as many enemy cavalry as possible.”
Li Jing ordered.
"Yes!"
Li Cunxiao and Wu Yunzhao both responded. The two of them held their weapons and charged at the enemy cavalry alone.
When they moved, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In less than a moment, countless enemy cavalrymen had died under their hands.
"Kill them!"
Under the leadership of the two of them, the morale of the White Horse Righteous Followers rose greatly, almost causing the morale of the Zhang Ye Cavalry to collapse.
This situation continued until the infantry of the Zhang Ye Army arrived and covered the retreat of the cavalry, allowing the cavalry to escape.
"Mission accomplished."
At this point, Li Jing couldn't help but smile playfully. There was no need for him to continue chasing.
After successfully attracting the enemy's main force, they could only wait for General Yue to penetrate through.
