The entry of the beast cavalry directly led to the collapse of the Yuan army under Yuan Tan's command, and the 2,500 people had almost no casualties, so they drove Yuan Tan who came to resist away In two days, the 50,000 White Tiger Legion successfully crossed the river.
On August 22, after crossing the river day and night, the Wuling Army's White Tiger Legion, Suzaku Legion, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Qilin Cavalry took the lead in completing the river crossing.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, the company camp of the Wuling army stretched for several miles, and the Yuan army could only sigh with admiration, and they did not even dare to approach the company camp of the Wuling army At this time, in the tent of the commander of the Wuling Army, Wu Shun convened the generals to discuss the entry of troops.
Nearly 100,000 soldiers arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River, and they could already start marching, and the follow-up soldiers would cross the river one after another.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have an army of 100,000 here, and according to the scout's report, there are only 90,000 Yuan troops blocking us, so now the cavalry will go ahead and find out the deployment of the Yuan army, and the White Tiger Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion will follow closely and quickly capture some important cities" Wu Shun ordered.
"The last general obeys," the generals bowed.
"Ma Chao" "The Last Will Be" "The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the vanguard army, you don't have to fight hard with the enemy, you just need to find out the position of the main force of the Yuan army," Wu Shun said.
"The last general obeys" Ma Chao bowed down to receive the order "Zhang Xiu" "The Last Will Be" "Xu you are also the vanguard of the army, leading the soldiers under your command to find out the enemy situation ahead for the army" Wu Shun ordered.
"Thank you, the king," Zhang Xiu said excitedly.
Originally, as foot soldiers, they were not suitable for this kind of thing to investigate the enemy's situation.
But Wu Shun once promised Zhang Xiu that when he attacked Hebei, he would let him be the vanguard This is also the reason why Zhang Xiu thanked him instead of receiving orders like Ma Chao.
"Second Brother Dongfang" Wu Shun looked at Zhang Xiong, in this battle, the task of the White Tiger Legion is very heavy, and most of the hard things like attacking cities and grabbing land need them to do "Big brother, give the order" Zhang Xiong's face was firm.
"Your Majesty, please order" Dongfang Qiang was also full of seriousness and perseverance.
"Second brother, Dongfang, the two of you together, lead an army of 70,000 people, push all the way over, no matter what you encounter, you can be confident in destroying it directly" Wu Shun asked.
"The end will be confident," Dongfang said.
"Big brother, just look at it," Zhang Xiongle said.
This order is the most domineering, of course, this is because the White Tiger Legion and the Vermilion Bird Legion cooperate and have that ability.
The unreasonable bombardment of the Vermilion Bird Legion and the strong melee ability of the White Tiger Legion make it good to hold out for a day in an ordinary city.
If he encounters a big city, Wu Shun will send troops to support this Northern Expedition, and Wu Shun is determined to win the land of Hebei.
"Your Majesty, don't you wait for the follow-up army?"
Xu Shu said.
"Cao Cao Quanquan doesn't know what the reaction will be, and the three brothers of the Yuan family are not straw bales, of course, the sooner the better."
Wu Shun said.
"Only when the speed is fast enough, the enemy can't keep up with our rhythm, and we will be led by the nose" In the big tent of "King Wise", the generals shouted loudly "Xiaozhi, you are responsible for supervising the follow-up army to cross the river and the location of the granary of the grain road."
Wu Shundao.
"The minister receives the order" Fa Zheng bowed down to receive the order.
"Feng Xiao, order the black-clothed guards to make the simulated terrain of the sand table in Hebei as soon as possible," Wu Shun said again.
This matter is relatively slow, and it is difficult not to complete it in a short period of time without the black-clothed guards, but fortunately, Guo Jia is Luoyang No. 1.
The task of "receiving the order of the minister" is not difficult for Guo Jia, and he can complete it in a few days "Yuan Zhi, Shi Yuan, you mainly think about how to defeat the three brothers of the Yuan family, we must occupy Hebei as soon as possible, and later it will change" Wu Shun ordered "The minister commands" Xu Shu and Pang Tong Zhengse.
Among the four major military divisions, the pressure on the two of them may be a little greater, and the enemy does not seem to be very strong, in fact, the Yuan family has been able to stand proudly in Hebei for so many years, not only by virtue of his name as the fourth and third dukes.
"Okay, let's act like this for the time being, the army must move quickly, it's best not to let Yuan Tan and them react," Wu Shun said.
"The last general, the ministers, etc., obey the order," everyone responded in unison.
Wu Shun gave the army a plan of action, and Ma Chao led the cavalry out of the company camp to find the main force of Yuan's army Zhang Xiu also led his soldiers to diligently explore the way for the Vermilion Bird Legion and the White Tiger Legion in front They are foot soldiers, and the task is to be easier than the horses, as for the march according to the route.
In case of danger, they can fight, and if they can't, they will defend to the death, and there are two major armies behind them, and they are full of confidence Under Wu Shun's arrangement, the commander of the Wuling army drove straight in, and the Yuan army did not dare to contact the Wuling army easily Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry bit Yuan's army several times, because the cavalry lacked siege ability and often let the enemy run away.
In the past, Ma Chao could only hold this starvation in his heart, but now it is different from the past, Ma Chao only needs to tell Zhang Xiu the location of the city where the enemy is hidden, and Zhang Xiu will naturally lead the troops there.
Then the Vermilion Bird Legion's Pu Yuan cannon roared, and the giant crossbow bows and arrows were fired indiscriminately, and finally the White Tiger Battalion easily rushed to the city wall and strangled the remnants of the enemy The overall strength of the Yuan army in Hebei was much weaker than the Cao army, and without a competent general, the Yuan army was attacked fiercely by the Wuling army, and if it did not have an advantage in numbers, it would collapse in a moment It is for this reason that Wuling pushed all the way sideways and did not care about it Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiong, and Dongfang Qiang's most exaggerated record of attacking the city is to break three cities in one day This speed amazed Wu Shundu The Wuling army was overwhelmed on the battlefield, and the three brothers of the Yuan family could no longer sit in Yecheng safely, and they often got together to discuss countermeasures.
In their eyes, Hebei belongs to their Yuan family, and they can't hold it if they want to see it now Although their 90,000-strong army was still there, when the Wuling army approached the area around Muye, they did not have the confidence to launch a decisive battle "Two brothers, think of a way" Yuan Shang was anxious to walk around.
"Second brother, don't you usually think too much, think about how to limit the attack speed of the Wuling Army."
Yuan Tan said.
The Wuling Army's offensive was fierce, and the speed of its advance was too exaggerated, Yuan Tan couldn't sit still, and most of the lost territory was his.
"Big brother, third brother, the Wuling army is 100,000 people, and the soldiers are really hard to restrict, we need to find help," Yuan Xi said.
Relying on themselves, to hold Hebei, judging from the current state, it is basically a fantasy and unlikely.
"Second brother, looking for help, where to find Cao Cao Sun Quan is too busy to take care of himself, and the Gongsun family of Liaodong does not dare to anger Wu Shun, Jiaozhou Shikui is too far away" Yuan Shang cited one by one.
In the end, he could only let out a sigh.
"Second brother, third brother, we can ask Xianbei people for help," Yuan Tan said.

"Big brother, Xianbei is a foreign race, how can it be done" Yuan Shang directly objected.
"Big brother, if you lead a foreign race into the Central Plains, I'm afraid that my Yuan family will have to bear the infamy of the ages" Yuan Xi said, no one can find a foreign race "Alas, I'm afraid that except for Xianbei, no one can help us," Yuan Tan sighed.
In his heart, defending Hebei is the most important thing, as for the infamy, as long as it succeeds, who will scold them:
