Hearing the shouting of the yellow beard outside, Liu Yu cursed in his heart, "Going to your grandfather, you are so turtle-haired."

Liu Yu's subordinates quickly marched for more than forty miles in the cold and snowy weather, and they were already trapped and exhausted. The Hu people under Shi Le were all riding horses, and the distance was closer than theirs, so they must have the advantage of physical strength.

Liu Qiu estimated that Shi Le must have received the reward of the horse-striking ranger and wanted to take advantage of the cavalry's rapid maneuver to suddenly attack him. However, when he arrived, Liu Yu and the others had completed camping and defense.

When Liu Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, his army had never relaxed in training, especially the training of marching and camping, which Liu Yu personally supervised and trained every day.

After all, Liu Yu understood that he had just gained some experience advantages accumulated by later generations. It is probably difficult for him to make decisions on the real battlefield to be more experienced and cunning people like Wang Mi and Shi Le.

Therefore, Liu Yu simply learned directly from the "fighting stupid war" method of the Minister of Jiannu Zeng, and used rigorous training to make solid defenses, with the idea of ​​not making mistakes before seeking victory.

However, although Liu Yu did not intend to go out to fight, the Hu people had already shouted out the big talk first. If there was no expression, it would have lost the majesty of the soldiers in his army.

At this time, the Hu Er outside the camp was riding his horse, as if waiting for a reply from Liu Yu's army.

Liu Xiu observed the distance for a moment and took out his big yellow bow.

The bow was erected in one go, and with the sound of the bowstring, a sharp arrow dragged the white tail feathers toward the Hu man.

The Hu man was experienced in the battlefield and very agile. He had been paying attention to the situation on the camp's several buildings. At this distance he was at, as long as he was alert, even if the enemy attacked, he would probably be able to avoid it.

However, this time, based on his visual inspection and feeling, he found that a feather arrow was shooting at him, and it was coming very fast. Such an arrow was not a strong bow and crossbow, but it did not have such a strong momentum.

He did not dare to slack off, so he quickly raised the shield on his left hand to cover the vital points.

But this arrow was not shot at the rider, but at the mount. Just as the rider raised his shield, the war horse under his crotch was shot into his chest with an arrow.

The war horse was frightened and the rider was almost thrown to the ground on the spot. Fortunately, these Hu people were good at equestrianism and did not fall off the horse. However, the flags and shields in his hand were thrown away from the ground. They looked very embarrassed, far from the way they were in front of the camp.

Seeing that his chief general hit the enemy with one arrow, although he only shot the mount, the soldiers watching still cheered loudly together.

The Hu man was very embarrassed, but he didn't dare to stop anymore. Instead, he finally turned his head and thought about escaping from behind.

"I didn't expect there would be such a good archer among the Jin people."

Jie Hu Shile, who was watching from a distance, saw everything he had just seen in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

The cavalry had been wandering irregularly, but could hit a single blow. Shi Le, who claimed to be skilled in archery, dared not be proud of his ability to have such an arrow. He thought about it. Perhaps the only person who could be better than this was Liu Yao, the nephew of Liu Yuan, the leader of the Han Dynasty of the Huns. Shi Le had seen Liu Yao's magical arrow shooting technique.

Hearing Shi Le's words, his right chief Diao Ying spoke.

"The Central Plains is not short of shooters. The flying generals among the Han people are famous generals who can ride and shoot and beat the Huns."

"Well, who is General Fei?"

Shi Le asked in confusion.

At this time, Shi Le was completely illiterate.

However, Diao Ying once studied some book scriptures in Wuxiang County Middle School in Bingzhou. He was able to write and calculate, and was an alien among the illiterate Hu people. This is also one of the reasons why Shi Le appointed Diao Ying as the right chief of the Shishi as his deputy.

"The Flying General is Li Guang from Longxi." Diao Ying said.

"Okay, when we fight to Longxi, we will go and meet this flying general for a while."

“…”

At this time, the Hu cavalry whose mount was injured had already run back in a panic.

Shi Le said a few words casually and asked him to go back to the formation. Shi Le's men were all bandits who gathered together at the advantage and dispersed at the disadvantage. They didn't care too much about these face issues.

Seeing the Qingzhou Jin army who had already set up a camp, he did not plan to go out to fight against him.

Shi Le saw from a distance that the camps of the Jin army in Qingzhou were arranged very neatly and firmly, with all kinds of horse-resisting piles and pits in place. With the 4,000 cavalry he brought, he could not defeat such camps no matter what.

Moreover, even if he could fight some people's lives, Shi Le would not use his Hu people's direct lineage to attack such camps. If he lost too much manpower, it would be completely unworthy of the loss.

Shi Le ordered his cavalry to wander around, and based on the mentality of the thief not leaving empty-handed, he could see if he could plunder some villages or the lonely people around him.

Anyway, Shi Le already knew that these Qingzhou troops did not have many horses and did not pose much threat to him.

However, when Dong Ping of Jinan County learned that Wang Mi and Shi Le were invading, he had ordered the scattered people and military households to enter the city or fort to take refuge. Shi Le and his friends wandered for several miles this time, but they did not get any valuable gains.

As the sky gradually became darker, if we didn't go back, Shi Le and the others might have to camp in the wild. Camping in the snow and ice is a deadly hard work.

Shi Le immediately led his cavalry and returned to the military camp of Licheng.

At the camp of the Qingzhou Army, when thousands of Hu cavalry retreated in a mighty manner under the banner of the word "stone", Liu Yu snorted coldly.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, these Xiongnu, Jiehu, and Wuhuan have always been vassals of the Central Plains tyrants. Although they still retained some bravery, they were still much worse than the indigenous barbarians in the grasslands and wildernesses.

Liu Yu's camping place was not close to the water source at this time. If you want to get water, it is far from enough to rely on melting snow to make water.

To get water, you need to take a long way to get water. You can dig ice into a river to get water. If these Hu cavalry cut off the water source, it will be enough to force Liu Yu to lead his army to fight.

But this requires camping and surrounding the wilderness.

Later generations of Jurchen Wanyan and Mengwuer often carried out such sieges and ambushings of sleeping ice and snow, and they were able to achieve extraordinary achievements.

However, the Hu cavalry under Shile was obviously still in a guerilla style with a robber, and was not qualified elite. Of course, they refused to engage in such high-risk and high-intensity adventures.

The next day, early in the morning, when it was just dawn, Liu Yu had already led the army to complete the departing.

All this is to prevent the army from destining to detach the camp and re-forming the chaos, in case of attack by the Shilehu cavalry.

Sure enough, when Liu Yu led his army to travel not far and had not even arrived at the ram mile five miles apart, the scouts in front of him rewarded him, and there were cavalrymen with less than 10,000 people coming like this.

If the infantry under Liu Yu were allowed to enter Licheng, even if Shi Le fought all the prisoners in his hands, he would not be able to capture Licheng. Therefore, he had to defeat these Qingzhou Jin troops who came to help in the field.

When Shi Le took the lead to 10,000 cavalry arrival, he could see that more than 10,000 Qingzhou troops had completed armor and arrays on the open land not far away.

It was too fast. The speed of the Qingzhou Jin army's march and formation of the marching were far beyond Shi Le's estimate.

Originally, he thought that the Qingzhou army would definitely be panicked because of its arrival, and even could not even display its formation.

But now these Qingzhou Jin troops are in a leisurely manner.

Shi Le rode on the horse and saw more than 10,000 Jin troops standing in a neat and solemn lineup, not like the waste-filled state and county soldiers I encountered before.

Moreover, under the illumination of the rising sun, the soldiers of Qingzhou were reflected in waves of cold light.

This is armor!

There are so many armors, almost everyone is wearing armor?!

Shi Le saw the sunshine reflected in the distance, and felt that the scene in front of him was a little beyond his imagination.

You should know that even though Shi Le crossed Hebei in recent years, the armor in the arsenal of prefectures and counties in Hebei has been consumed for years due to wars and chaos, and many of the armors that fell into Shi Le's hands were damaged, and there were no craftsmen to repair them in the chaos of wars.

Therefore, in Shile's Hu army, there are only one or two thousand sets of armor, especially qualified armor.

Most of the Hu cavalry's armies were nothing more than a bow and arrow, a knife and a long qiang. As for armor, they did not have them, at most they wore two thick leather jackets.

Shi Le thought: "No wonder Wang Mi wanted to fight back to Qingzhou. It turned out that Qingzhou was so rich, even the iron armor was so sufficient."

In fact, there was no such high armored soldiers in Liu Yu's army. However, in order to deter these Hu people from the momentum, he arranged all armored soldiers in the front row.

The real armored soldiers were less than 6,000, and the rest of the people were defending ordinary leather armor and shields. Of course, the six thousand armored soldiers were enough to shock Shi Le.

The Hu generals and other Hu Ying, Kui'an, Kong Feng, Zhi Xiong, Taobao, Lu Ming, and other Hu generals around Shi Le had already looked at the armor of the Jin army opposite and almost drooled.

"I thought that only Youzhou soldiers had so many armored soldiers." Diao Ying, who was standing beside him, said in surprise.

When Shi Le led his army to conquer Hebei, he was defeated by the Youzhou army sent by the Youzhou governor Wang Jun. That crushing defeat made these people dare not forget it.

"I heard that these Qingzhou soldiers are all raw melons who have not fought much. As long as we use some means, we will definitely be able to strip them all of their iron sheets."

Kong Feng, who was irritated, couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry, they are the ones who are trying to reinforce Licheng, so they should be anxious. We have time and wait patiently."

Shi Le calmed down and must calm down and eat all these Qingzhou soldiers. In that case, he would have the capital to spread across Hebei, and might even have the capital to fight against the Jin army in Youzhou.

Soon, after all the Hu cavalry under Shi Le arrived, Shi Le quickly led these cavalry around the Qingzhou Army, and occasionally made a gesture of preparing to attack. After the Qingzhou Army infantry made a defensive adjustment, they suddenly ran to the other side and used the same trick again.

Liu Yu took all this in his sight. He knew that this was the Hu cavalry who wanted to use the mobility of the cavalry to force his infantry formation to make adjustments, and then hoped that his infantry would make mistakes and cause chaos, giving them the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

This method is quite feasible to deal with poorly disciplined armies. Large-scale formation adjustments will indeed cause chaos in the soldiers and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, this move that Shi Le used seemed to be of little use to the Qingzhou army in front of him.

With the frequent movement of these Hu cavalry, the Qingzhou army, which has the advantage of the inner circle, can always respond as fast as possible, and each time the march of the military formation is completed at an extremely fast speed.

In Shi Le's view, all these Qingzhou soldiers seemed to be wooden puppets, controlled by an invisible hand, making various dazzling formation movements and changes without any confusion.

Moreover, in the past few rounds of riding and shooting, the gong nu in the Qingzhou army was very sharp, and the power of riding a bow was far from comparable to that, so the Hu cavalry under Shi Le was at a disadvantage.

After several rounds of testing, Shi Le stopped this intention to force the Qingzhou army to change its formation.

After all, if this continues, the enemy infantry will probably not have much trouble, and the horses on their side will be exhausted due to frequent running.

Seeing that the Hu cavalry who had been gathering and scattering just now retreated, Liu Yu felt a little grateful. It seemed that Shi Le, the famous Five Barbarians general, was still at the moment when he had just revealed his strength, and his subordinates were not strong enough to attack the firm infantry array head-on.

In history, during the Battle of Kucheng in the Yongjia Rebellion, Shi Le used light cavalry to pursue Wang Yan's large army of officials in the Jin Dynasty, and used roaming and cavalry to create panic. More than 100,000 fearful Jin court officials trampled on each other, which gave Shi Le's light cavalry a chance to pursue and annihilate.

According to time calculations, it should be the year after tomorrow, which is the fifth year of Yongjia.

It seems that the Shile army two years later was still a nomad war strategy dominated by guerrilla cavalry and shooting. If the more than 100,000 people led by Wang Yan and others were not too useless, even if only half of them dared to look back on the courage to fight, I am afraid that these Western Jin royal families and bureaucrats would not have all died in the suburbs of the city.

Liu Yu was originally concerned about Shi Le's reputation in history, but when he really saw these Hu robbers rampaging the Central Plains with his own eyes, he found that they were just like this.

In the array confrontation just now, the Hu people who were guerrilla cavalry and shooting did not take any advantage, but were killed by the Qingzhou Army's invasion and crossbow.

What the infantry array is really afraid of is the cavalry cutting off supply lines and raiding weak points. For light cavalrymen like Shile who cavalry and shoot guerrillas, as long as the armored infantry under his command are firm in their will, there is no need to worry too much.

Seeing that the Hu cavalry were standing in front of him, he was in a state of waiting for an opportunity to move.

Liu Yu was worried that he could not wait like this anymore. These Hu cavalry were only more than 10,000, so the remaining tens of thousands were still besieging Licheng. If he did not support him quickly, Licheng would be in danger of falling at any time.

It's just ten thousand light-armored robbers, and there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Send orders! Beat drums, maintain the array, and Xu Jin picks up the enemy!"
