The Qipangou, Huaqiaochang, Riyueping and other places occupied by the Northern Army were only more than fifty miles away from Huocheng. In terms of the vast plains surrounding Huocheng, it is really not a distance. Cavalry can reach instantly, even infantry, carrying all kinds of weapons, it takes less than a few hours to arrive. Since the Northern Army arrived, Lin Ya was fully alert and sent out a group of sentries, one to find out where the enemy was preparing to attack first, and the other to see if there were any flaws and loopholes to exploit.

In Lin Ya's opinion, among the Northern Expedition Army, Lucheng Camp is undoubtedly the most powerful main battle camp, so Yun Zhao pushed him to the front, and the Anqing Camp on the left and right, Panshi Camp was also prickly and could not be easily provoked. Huo Zhenting of the Sixth Battalion and Zhou Guangyi of the Seventh Battalion were a little weaker, but these two were old foxes who had been old, so they were so cunning and slippery. If they were to be head-on, it would be difficult to gain a advantage. Speaking of which, the weakest of the Northern Expedition Army was the cavalry battalion led by Yan Xiaoyi.

If Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry battalion was placed in the Central Plains, it would be a fierce unit, but in the eyes of Mengren, it was just an ordinary elite unit. Among the Mongolian army, there were many such troops, and there was still a gap between them compared to the big tent soldiers. If they had to find some of their advantages, it was that the equipment was too good, and it was good enough to make people jealous.

Lin Ya wanted to find the cavalry unit of his opponent. The infantry of the Northern Army was a hedgehog who could not attack for a while, but their cavalry could find their own troubles. If they could win the battle, they would greatly boost their morale.

What troubled Lin Ya was that Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry troops had been like a good rabbit these days, staying in Yun Zhao's camp in Qipangou without any intention of moving.

The two armies have been in battle for more than ten days. Apart from the mutual suppression of the whistle cavalry of both sides, a slightly larger war has not happened once.

Of course, Lin Ya didn't believe that Yun Zhao dispatched such a large-scale army, but just to scare himself. The more calm the opponent was, the more worried he was. Perhaps it was affected by the battle of Cangjiang. He always thought that his opponent was setting up some traps.

Maybe, you should move first, and your opponent will not reveal any flaws. Then, if you knock it over, you may find some flaws. At present, the main forces of the Northern Army echo each other and connect very closely. When you pull it, you can only move your whole body. There are only some small places in the corners.

However, before Lin Ya launched his attack, the Northern Army took the lead in taking action. However, their actions were particularly strange. It was so strange that Lin Ya could only lead a team of cavalry to find out.

A unit of the Third Battalion was about 5,000 people left the camp. After advancing for ten miles, they began to set up camp. Almost at the beginning of their operations, on the battlefield of more than a hundred miles, all the Northern Expedition Army advanced forward for about ten miles and set up a new camp.

Seeing the opponent busy erecting camps, erecting fences, setting up whistles, arrow towers, and building chest walls. Lin Ya was puzzled. What was the opponent doing? There was no need for them to go through so much trouble. If they wanted to attack, they could arrive in the morning and evening.

The opponent did not intend to attack in large numbers. Although Lin Ya was full of doubts, he still did not take any action and the opponent did not attack. It was just as he wanted, and he needed time. As long as Yaerdan integrated all the forces in Yanjing, the army could come to support. In this way, the battle with Yun Zhao would be invincible.

In fact, what he feared most now was that Yun Zhao suddenly launched a fierce attack. With his existing troops, it was really hard to resist. At least, Huo Cheng was afraid that it was difficult to protect. The cavalry could move around, but Huo Cheng could not move.

But Lin Ya only maintained this mood for three days and disappeared. When he appeared before his opponent's newly built camp again, Jian Zhen was shocked. What kind of new camp is there? It is a simple fortress, and he owns everything that a complete city defense has.

What made him even more angry was that after repairing this camp, the vanguard unit once again advanced ten miles, set up the camp, and started a new round of civil engineering operations. Is this the fucking army the Northern Expedition? It’s just a team of craftsmen who build cities.

At this time, if Lin Ya still doesn't understand what the opponent is making, it is extremely stupid. On the front line of hundreds of miles, the opponent is carrying out this kind of civil engineering work. Every ten miles, a new fortress is built at an extremely fast speed. In less than a month, the opponent can advance directly to Huo City and build directly before his own camp.

What is the most needed thing for the Mongolian cavalry to fight is the broad combat space and large room for maneuver, so as to facilitate their combat characteristics of coming and going like the wind. If you run for more than ten miles and encounter a fortress, how can you fight this battle?

This is to enclose yourself alive and then chew yourself off bit by bit!

Lin Ya wrote the situation of Huo Cheng on the letter and sent someone to Yanjing. He knew that he had to start the action. Otherwise, when the Northern Expedition Army built a large fortress around Huo Cheng, even if reinforcements came, there would be no need to fight this battle.

To destroy the enemy's fortress, at least delay the enemy's construction speed! Lin Ya made up her mind.

Qipangou, Yunzhao Daying.

Looking at the camp plate that slowly extends forward on the map, Yun Zhao laughed and looked back at Wu Fan, "This is called suffocation combat! It seems stupid, but it is extremely effective. Didn't Lin Ya want him to choose the battlefield? Sorry, I won't play that trick with you!"

Wu Fan nodded repeatedly: "Governor is smart. In this way, Lin Ya has to fight on the battlefield we have chosen, and we have the upper hand in the geographical advantage! This is equivalent to greatly limiting the mobility of Lin Ya's troops and minimizing their advantages."

"That's the reason, but Lin Ya is not a stupid person. Wu Fan, has the orders been passed to the hands of the generals of each battalion? They are strictly prohibited from pursuing the enemy, and only allow them to fight on the spot. If the enemy retreats, we will build the city again. If the enemy Tathagata, we will rely on the fortress to fight!"

"It's all transmitted. Lin Ya wants to lure our troops to pursue and attack our army, that's not to imagine!" Wu Fan said.

"Lin Ya is uncomfortable for a while! His central army is not easy to bite, but we might find an opportunity to take a bite on his left and right wings." Yun Zhao smiled and turned the charcoal in his hand, "I'm going to go to Huo Zhenting's place!"

"The governor has taken a fancy to Xiao Lixi?" Wu Fan's eyes lit up.

"Of course, Xiao Lixi is young and energetic. She has never had a face-to-face meeting with our North Army before. She must be dissatisfied. If you throw some bait hooks and hooks, you might get something!" Yun Zhao touched his chin: "Go and call Yan Xiaoyi over!"

Ding Qiu was sitting on a circumference with his iron spear. Two thousand soldiers lined up in front of him and were waiting for the battle. The remaining three thousand were waving their hoes, pushing carts, and carrying bamboo baskets, working hard. This was the second camp he built. It was twenty miles away from Qipangou Camp. At this time, ten miles behind him, Meng Yao led 5,000 people and were ready to go. According to the governor's estimate, Lin Ya would definitely move.

"Come on!" Ding Qiu held his cheek and kept chanting, "Otherwise, my general would become the foreman, even if he built the city all the way to Huo Cheng, it would not have any taste."

Ding Qiu longs for fighting! He likes the smell of blood, fishy and sweet. When the spear pierces the enemy's chest, the gun sticks smash the opponent's head, and the big knife cuts off the opponent's head, the blood splashes out in his eyes is a very beautiful picture. The blood of the enemy, what can make him feel relaxed and happy? He stretches out his hand to caress the scars on his face, and Ding Qiu spits out with a spit.

"General, look!" The shirtless soldier suddenly shouted on the half-built archery platform behind him, "The enemy is here!"

Ding Qiu suddenly felt energetic, carried a spear, took off his big stride, and rushed to the archery platform in a few seconds. Sure enough, in the distance, several fast horses were running wildly, which were the whistle he had released. At this time, behind them, about a hundred cavalry were chasing them. Behind these more than a hundred people were the black Mongolian cavalry.

"Beat the drum, prepare for war, and you're going to open a fast!" Ding Qiu shouted excitedly.

The sound of war drums sounded, and in front of the camp, two thousand soldiers sitting on the ground jumped up and quickly lined up with half-built fortresses in an array, with guns, shields, and crossbows in sequence. Behind them, more soldiers threw away their tools and pushed one demon-subduing crossbows behind the earthen enclosure.

Ten miles away, Meng Yao ascended the top of the fortress and looked at the beacon smoke ignited ten miles away.

Lin Ya is naturally not stupid. On the contrary, he is an extremely outstanding general in the Mongolian army. Cangjiang's great defeat is not a crime of war! Of course, he knew that when attacking the enemy in front of him, he had to guard against the opponent behind them coming to support him. In fact, his target was not the frontal opponent, and he supported their reinforcements later.

Two thousand cavalrymen rushed over Ding Qiu, while more people bypassed the fortress and rushed into the area between the two fortresses. Lin Ya firmly believed that his opponent would definitely come to support the prominent enemy troops here.

But Meng Yao didn't come!

The person who rushed towards Ding Qiu was naturally just to restrain him, or to let the large troops behind him come to rescue, so as to give the Linya cavalry a chance to fight against the enemy. The war horses were crisscrossing and running repeatedly before the fortress. Arrows were like rain, and both sides shot each other, but the actual casualties were minimal.
