Both sides of the war were like two deaf men holding swords looking for each other in the fog. Victory and defeat often depend on chance. Chen De murmured to himself, looking at the thick fog that was shrouded around him without any help. On the afternoon of the first day after leaving the barrier, the grassland in the north of Mobei suddenly fell, and the visibility in the fog was extremely low. Four cavalry columns, the soldiers on the left could not see the right, and only saw the nose of the horse squirting white air, and only saw the butt of the horse shaking left and right.

According to Yu Furengui's experience in the fortress for many years, such heavy fog often lasted for several days and ended with the arrival of a storm. Mobei finally revealed a mysterious and moody side to the Lanzhou army that went out for the fourth time. The sudden thick fog was a common weather in Mobei. The 300,000 troops of Emperor Gaozu of Han were besieged by the Xiongnu Shanyu and broke through the mountain, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the thick fog to dissipate. Otherwise, the history of the Central Plains would have to be rewritten.

The army was moving very slowly in the fog, and Chen De now felt a little regretful about the plan of seducing the enemy seamlessly. Dividing troops was a fatal disadvantage of this plan. Now the Lanzhou army was divided into three parts: three thousand cavalry led by him, two thousand infantry led by Xiao Jiusu and two thousand civilians, and more than a dozen cavalry detachments led by Xin Gusu. The worst case was that the Dangxiang Qiang people, who concentrated their troops, used the bad weather to defeat the Lanzhou army who had inconvenient contact. Just as Napoleon encountered in the Battle of Waterloo, the 30,000 elite French troops did not arrive at the battlefield of Waterloo until the end of the battle, which made the French worried.

The thick fog did not dissipate for a long time, which made Chen De feel angry, but there was no way. The scouts of Xiao Jiu's troops who should have contacted each other before dark have not been seen yet, so they must have lost their way in the fog. Opening the history books, getting lost in the war in Mobei was simply a nightmare for the Central Plains army. The most famous time was that in the decisive battle between Wei Qing and the Xiongnu Khan in Mobei, former general Li Guang lost his way, causing a generation of famous general Li Guang to be imprisoned and committed suicide.

At the same time, Li Jifeng was also in great flames. Compared with the Lanzhou Army, which had a tight team, the Dingnan Army, which was hastily formed by Xia, Yin, Suizhou Army, dozens of tribal cavalry, and the temporarily concentrated elite iron kite, was in a mess in the thick fog. Li Jifeng couldn't help but pray that the Lanzhou caravan must stop and not lose track when the Dingnan Army was trapped by heavy fog. Finally, when the sky gradually became late and the fog was gradually thin, the Dingnan Army chose a high ground to camp and counted the number of people. There were nearly two thousand cavalry unknown whereabouts. Li Jifeng had to send people to search everywhere on torches and tossed all night until noon the next day that the lost troops gathered one after another.

The Si Nan carried in the Dingnan army was not as simple and accurate as the compass improved by Lanzhou. When the camp was measured, the route of the army was shifted a little to the northeast. The current path was not a familiar road to the guide sent by the tribe. The guide also looked puzzled. After all, the grassland was as wide as the sea and deviated from the original road. Even he could not determine whether he could accurately intercept the Lanzhou caravan. Li Jifeng frowned and thought for a while. Although the caravans of Lanzhou were advocated by Li Keyuan and Li Kexian, since he joined in and returned in vain, he would definitely be greatly affected. So Li Jifeng ordered that before the thick fog dissipated, the cavalry of each unit would pull it forward and backward with cloth strips, slightly turning to the north to accelerate, and no matter what, he would block the way in front of the Lanzhou caravan.

It seemed as if God heard Li Jifeng's prayer. When Xiao Jiu encountered heavy fog, he ordered the caravan not to advance. The entire army set up camp with the front and tail of the side vans. More than a thousand mules and horses were concentrated in the middle of the chariot formation. In the camp, three hundred soldiers walked out of the chariot formation and established a sentry position for 500 steps outside the chariot formation. He also urged civilians to start digging trenches outside the chariot formation and set up obstacles such as deer antlers. Xiao Jiu was cautious and determined, thinking that the foggy weather might lead to Chen De's army and himself.

The front lost contact. In any case, it was much easier for Chen De's three thousand cavalry to find his infantry. Therefore, for the sake of the present, he could only respond to changes in the same way and slow down the pace of the march until the reconnaissance cavalry re-engage with Chen De's troops. He was cautious and must set up tricks, antlers, trenches, etc. in camping, which was not as simple as Xin Gu only released the reconnaissance cavalry. The civilians who followed Xin Gu many times inevitably had some resentment. It was heard in Xiao Jiu's ears, and he just smiled.

Compared with Xiao Jiu, the thick fog caused greater difficulties to Xin Gu's troops. More than a dozen cavalry teams in the Cavalry Camp almost completely lost contact with each other. Now there are only a hundred soldiers from the Cavalry Camp left by Xin Gu. He didn't know whether Li Jifeng's army had already left the Yinshan Valley Road, nor did he know whether other cavalry teams encountered the enemy, but they encountered a strong enemy.

While Amur was leading seven tribe soldiers to explore the way in the thick fog, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in front of him. At almost the same time, the other party also discovered them. Neither side had time to dodge. Almost a moment later, the bald Dangxiang Qiang cavalry appeared in front of him. The iron kites led by Li Jiqian almost collided with Xin Gu's cavalry team in the thick fog.

Li Jiqian's men Tie Yaozi Ye Li saw that Xin Gu and others were dressed as Mobei shepherds, but they were obviously not easy to be the ones. Li Jiqian's purpose of this trip was to fish in troubled waters, and he planned to attack the three uncles and brothers. Naturally, they could not let outsiders see through their paths. They carefully split the others along the way. If they really couldn't avoid them, they would silence them. What Ye Li reacted immediately was the word "kill and silence". In front of him, there were only eight people including Amur, and he winked at the left and right iron kids, secretly took the scimitar into his hand, and kicked the horse's belly with both feet and heels. The Hequ horse rushed out like an arrow, and rushed into the eight people in just two breaths. He raised his sword and fell down his horse.

Seeing his companions screaming and falling off the horse, Amur and others were shocked and angry. They were caught off guard. They relied on their superb riding skills and cursed loudly in Mongolian language while dodging the lightning-fast scimitars of Yeli and others left and right. Most of the grassland tribes are good at archery, but except for warriors with outstanding martial arts skills like Amur, the sword skills are mediocre. Yeli calculated this accurately, without using bows and arrows, and planned to use close-up battles to fight these people.

The shepherds who came out from somewhere killed the silence. Dangxiang Tiejiazi was a tribal noble who had been practicing martial arts since childhood. He used a sudden killer like a storm. After a few breaths, the soldiers of the cavalry camp were chopped down again. The remaining four people did not even have the ability to draw their swords. They were on the horse and were full of dangers. If Yeli and others were not willing to hurt the strong horse under their crotch, the swords and swords were avoiding the horses, I was afraid that Amur and others would have been dismissed and died long ago.

Because of the heavy fog, Xingu's Cavalry Battalion, Li Jiqian's Tieyaki Brigade and their respective avant-gardes were very short. Both sides heard the screams and warning sounds of the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion when they were injured and dropped. Xingu frowned, and regardless of the thick fog in front of him, he couldn't see clearly, and shouted loudly: "Everyone holds a gun, follow me!" In order to conceal his identity, the Cavalry Battalion's team spoke in Mongolian language on the grassland. Xingu was originally a hot-hearted person, and the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion were also very obedient and obedient. All of them stood up straight ahead with Xingu as the arrow, and more than a hundred people arranged a vanguard formation. No matter whether there were thousands of troops or cliffs in front, they rushed out at full speed.

Compared to Xin Gu's resoluteness, Li Jiqian obviously had a hint of hesitation. The iron kites on both sides pulled out their scimitars to protect them and asked him for their orders. At this moment, Li Jiqian frowned slightly and was unable to make a decision. The enemy situation was unknown in front of him. Is it Li Jifeng, Khitan, Lanzhou, or a tribe of Mobei who was ignorant of the vast land. He secretly complained that Ye Li was reckless in his heart and fought with the enemy in the heavy fog, but there was no news to report.

However, the military situation could not tolerate him at all. He could hear the sound of horse hooves on the opposite side quickly from far away, becoming more and more neat and dense. Li Jiqian, who was familiar with horse war, knew that the enemy was charging at full speed, hoping to defeat his group of people in one fell swoop. How could he meet a desperate person? Is it a team of horse thieves? Li Jiqian had no time to think, pulled out a scimitar and shouted loudly: "Kill forward!" He gently urged the horse, and the iron kites beside him could no longer hold back, and they all did not care about wearing the full set of iron armor placed behind the horse. He took off the reins of the horse and rushed out at full speed. The way of cavalry battle is the king, and it was already a little later than the opponent, so he would speed faster.

In fact, Li Jiqian and Xin Gu's main force were only a hundred steps apart. For the cavalry who was urging the horse at full speed, it was just a few breaths. First, Xin Gu's cavalry met Yeli's subordinates who were chasing Amur and others.

Whether it was the Iron Harrier avant-garde, or the Amur tribe warriors, when the cavalry on both sides charged at full speed, they all showed a look of horror on their faces. The cavalry confronted head-on, like a hammer hitting anvil, everything in the middle would be crushed to pieces. Amur had originally been a little entangled with Yeli and others, not causing them to rush into the team, but now he just wanted to quickly urge the horse to avoid the area where the two sides fought. His cavalry without speed could only die under the cavalry formation that was full speed.

Yeli no longer chased Amur and others. Since there were a large number of enemies on the opposite side of the thick fog, it was meaningless to kill all these people. He adjusted his horse and placed his scimitar in front of his chest and was about to speed up to urge the horse. Suddenly, a cavalry suddenly jumped out of the thick fog. Before he could see the other party's face clearly, a long cavalry spear passed through his chest. The huge impact force made Yeli's body fly back several meters before falling to the ground. Iron Harriers were originally fighting in heavy armor, but they met suddenly during the march. Iron Harriers, who were not armed, faced with light armor, and suffered a great loss as soon as they met.
