The snow had stopped, the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and a silver moon hung in the sky, illuminating the snowfield in a pale light.
A cavalry force drew an arc across the vast snowfield, perfectly avoiding the reconnaissance of the main Xia army in Hongzhou City, and galloped towards Longzhou overnight.
Their goal was to defeat the Xia army outside Longzhou City.
If defeating Yeli Qingge was merely a minor episode in Yue Fei's war against the Song and Xia armies in the Northwest, then defeating the Xia army outside Longzhou City was a significant and memorable achievement for Yue Fei in this battle.
The battle began at the crack of dawn, the darkest hour of the day, when even moonlight could not reach the ground and the snow in the wasteland seemed to dim.
Because of the detour, they traveled nearly two hundred miles.
The scouts reported that they had reached Longzhou City. Yue Fei made a decisive move and, without any hesitation, rushed towards the Xia army camp outside Longzhou City.
At that time, Yeli Xingrong, the commander of the Xia army along this route, was the most outstanding commander in the Yeli tribe and was entrusted with the important task of attacking Longzhou.

Take Zhang Shen of Fuyan Road for example. His strategy is to advance step by step and never venture too far into enemy territory alone.
But just as Yeli Xingrong hadn't anticipated, Xia Jun was about to face a nightmare.

I'll write more once I'm better from my cold.
A reminder to everyone: Springtime not only makes it easy to feel romantic, but also easy to catch a cold. Take care of your health and don't end up like me.
