Sergeant Zhou's soldiers are full of wolfish nature. They look forward to war and are eager to gain military exploits on the battlefield.

It was also the first time for Pang Tong to go on an expedition with the army.

At this time, seven thousand Zhou Wu soldiers were marching at high speed on the official road.

Although there were only 7,000 Zhou Wu soldiers, there were twice as many auxiliary soldiers.

Auxiliary troops include horsemen, military doctors, medical corpsmen, stretcher-bearers, cooks, and auxiliary troops.

Among them, there are also a large number of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.

The carriage is equipped with armor for heavy cavalry, shields for heavy infantry, siege equipment, etc.

Moreover, there were as many as 300,000 arrows accompanying the army.

The black military flag fluttered in the wind.

From a distance, it looks like a rolling black wave.

Zhou Cheng rode Mo Kuang at the front of the team.

Dian Wei, Zhou Cang and others were behind Zhou Cheng.

Pang Tong was on horseback, looking back and observing each group of soldiers.

At this time, we have marched thirty miles.

None of the soldiers in each group said a word during the journey.

Orders and prohibitions.

When marching, probability is strictly maintained.

This army of horses trained by pre-Qin military law is indeed extraordinary.

Moreover, the official road on the way has been rebuilt, and the road is smooth. The vehicles are traveling on the way without too much bumps.

Jia Xu, Li Ru, Guo Jia and others even drank and talked about military affairs in the carriage

……

When Zhou Cheng led his army from Zhenliao City to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Xu Huang has sent troops from Qingzhou to attack Taishan County in Yanzhou.

The county seat of Taishan County is Fenggao County.

There are Fenggao, Boxian, Liangfu, Juping, Chixian, Yingxian, Mouxian, Laiwu, Gaixian, Nanwuyang, Feiguo and Nancheng, a total of twelve cities.

At this time, Xu Huang rushed to attack Fei Guo, and Fei Guo's defenders only had seven or eight hundred county soldiers.

Moreover, the city walls are low and in disrepair.

Xu Huang led 8,000 cavalry and easily captured Fei State, and then captured Nancheng and Gaixian County.

In Fenggao City, the prefect Wang He immediately asked Zhang Chao for help.

After Zhang Chao learned about it, he first ordered the pass to defend the city. At the same time, he immediately mobilized 5,000 troops and horses to rush to Fenggao.

However, Xu Huang had no idea of ​​attacking Fenggao. After attacking several cities in the county in succession, Xu Huang continued to lead his army and invaded Jibei Kingdom.

There are only five cities in Jibei Kingdom: Luxian, Chiping, Sheqiu, Gangxian and Chengxian.

There are thousands or as few as hundreds of county soldiers in each county, and they lack training. They are no match for Xu Huang.

Xu Huang divided his troops into four groups and captured each city at the same time.

Within two days, Jibei Kingdom was captured.

According to Li Ru's plan, Xu Huang set fire to the granary of Jibei State, burned down the granary, and drove away the people in the city, causing them to flee to the counties of Yanzhou.

……

Within a few days, a large number of cities were lost. Zhang Chao knew that he was no match for Xu Huang, so he immediately asked his brother Zhang Miao for help.

Naturally, Zhang Miao would not leave the enemy alone. He quickly mobilized his troops and organized 20,000 troops.

He wanted to join Zhang Chao in encircling and suppressing Xu Huang.

However, Zhang Miao's marching route was completely controlled by the scouts of the Qingqi Battalion.

The scouts of the Qingqi Battalion hid in the grass and tree canopy.

Monitored day and night.

After they discovered that Zhang Miao had sent troops, they immediately sent troops to notify Xu Huang.

At this time, Xu Huang was originally planning to attack Ren Pingguo.

However, after hearing that Zhang Miao had sent troops from Chenliu, he immediately divided his troops and sent two thousand men to continue the attack on Ren Pingguo and give Renpingguo its defenders, creating the illusion that Xu Huang was still in Renpingguo.

At the same time, Xu Huang took advantage of the night and headed north along Surabaya.

Xu Huang's plan is to go north along the Surabaya River, bypass Juancheng, and go along the cities of Dingtao, Yuanju, Chengshi, Juyang, Chengyang, and detour behind Zhang Miao to ambush Zhang Miao and block 20,000 soldiers. Zhang Miao's army's retreat.

This is a very bold decision.

The distance of the attack is more than three hundred miles, and once Zhang Miao discovers it, the attack will be ineffective.

……

Zhang Miao is one of the eight chefs. He is generous and righteous.

But in terms of leading troops to fight, Zhang Miao is indeed average.

He now personally leads 20,000 people, preparing to deal with Xu Huang's vanguard before Zhou's army goes south.

Over the years, Zhang Miao has also accumulated a lot of wealth.

The 20,000 troops and horses mobilized this time can be considered elite.

Everyone wears armor and has high-quality weapons.

Moreover, no one has a food standard of three liters of rice a day, and the treatment is higher than that of most princes' subordinates.

It's just that these 20,000 people have almost no real battlefield experience.

Although they also participated in the suppression of bandits, there were also some moth bandit uprisings that suddenly appeared.

However, this time the enemy was not a bandit, let alone a bandit wearing a turban and holding farm tools.

It is a strong army that has truly experienced the test of battle and has a brilliant record.

……

The sky was pitch black and I couldn't see my fingers.

If you don't hold up the torch, you will definitely not be able to see the road under your feet.

Zhang Miao also made a hasty march at night.

Reinforcement is like putting out fire.

If we can join Zhang Chao earlier and join forces with the brothers, we can keep Yanzhou.

However, just as Zhang Miao was hurrying on his way, a military horse quietly raised its head in the grass on both sides.

They were all lying on the ground just now. When passing by at night, they could not be spotted at all.

At this moment, the crossbows in their hands were already cocked.
