Chapter 174: Making a Fortune in War

Zhao Mu took all the heavy horses and entered Yangzhou again, everyone thought that he was running to Yangzhou, taking the opportunity to consolidate the fruits, and to occupy a number of counties near Yangzhou and loot a lot of money.

But everyone guessed wrong, this heavy cavalry force disappeared into the Yangzhou realm at night, and for a while, there seemed to be no more news, and their whereabouts seemed to have disappeared.

In fact, Zhao Mu led the cavalry to enter Yangzhou, but then turned the horse's head and went to the border of Yuzhou in the upper north of the right, hurried at night, and when it was daytime, they all went into the woods to rest and hide, and on the third night they continued to return by night.

Finally, on the evening of the fifth day, Zhao Mu successfully crossed the border of Yangzhou, entered Yuzhou, and went all the way deep.

At one o'clock in the morning, the heavy cavalry chased all the way to the traces of the 60,000 army sent by the Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling, and chased it in the direction of the border of Xuzhou.

Within two hours, soon, the army sent by Yuzhou to Xuzhou was discovered from afar.

"My lord, it is the grain transport unit in the rear of the Yuzhou army." Cao Bao was shocked to find that after Zhao Mu entered the Yu Realm, it was easy to find, and then miraculously and accurately found the rear baggage troops of the opponent's army, what kind of magical reconnaissance ability is this?

"That's right." Zhao Mu was not surprised at all, slowly lit a cigarette, raised his hand lightly and said: "Don't leak the whereabouts of the news, don't let anyone go, pay attention to the other party's scouts and escape." ”

"Yes."

"Brothers, follow me."

"Kill."

Suddenly, three thousand heavy horsemen rumbled up, three thousand against seven thousand.

Although the enemy is more than twice as numerous as his own, they are all third-rate troops transporting food, and the equipment itself is very inadequate, not to mention encountering Zhao Mu's super heavy cavalry troops, which is nothing to compare, even if the other party is given ten times more people, it will collapse.

When Zhao Mu's three thousand heavy cavalry formed a conical impact formation. Crashing into the 7,000 grain transporters on the opposite side, the outcome has already been decided.

It was simpler than the one-sided shape shì, and in less than an hour, the colonel came to report that the heavy cavalry only killed one person, seven were slightly wounded, and four were seriously injured, and all of them killed 7,800 soldiers and horses of the other side.

30,000 stone of grain, 2,000 pieces of light weapons and leather armor, and dozens of horses were seized. More than 230 donkeys and cattle, a number of various siege equipment, materials and tools, a complete victory!

Zhao Mu ordered his brother to take the corpse of his brother who died in the battle with 300 heavy cavalry, and ordered people to take care of the wounded soldiers, and then collected the captured goods and escorted them back to Xuzhou, and then he himself continued to lead 2,800 heavy cavalry and 300 wolf cavalry, and continued to bite the tail of the enemy troops to catch up.

The chase lasted for several more hours, until dawn. Immediately, he looked for a place to hide.

On the evening of the sixth day, he attacked again, and finally when Zhao Mu went around from Yangzhou to Yuzhou, he chased back from Yuzhou to the outskirts of Pengcheng, Xuzhou, his own territory. Finally, he found the place where the troops of 50,000 troops in Yuzhou were camped.

Obviously, they were one step ahead of the city, and the army was under Pengcheng, and it was the day of the day. An attempt was made to siege the city, but there was a lack of huge siege vehicles and a large number of trebuchets of the baggage troops, and only simple siege equipment was relied on. It was impossible to capture the 15,000 people who rushed over to support the city defenders.

Zhao Mu ordered the whole army to take off their heavy armor, and all the horses to take off their horse armor, and in an instant, they changed from heavy horses to light horses, and each horse carried a large number of arrows.

Immediately, the old trick was repeated again, rushing from the enemy's unexpectedly large rear to the camp, and a rocket with fire oil on the fulcrum instantly burned half of the camp of tens of thousands of troops.

However, the enemy was not defenseless this time, because it was necessary to prevent the night attack of the Pengcheng defenders, so the effect of burning the enemy camp at night this time was far less effective than dealing with Zhang Chao's troops.

But even so, a series of fires burned down the company camp, and that night the Yu army was burned to death by a fire, more than 10,000 people were burned, and the combat strength of the 50,000 army was immediately greatly reduced.

Later, I realized that Zhao Mu's heavy cavalry was actually attacked from behind them, and he knew that the logistics baggage troops were not guaranteed, and all the grain and grass were burned.

Suddenly, the morale of the Yu army plummeted, and they went crazy, sending 20,000 troops and 1,000 cavalry to chase and kill Zhao Mu.

But how could Zhao Mu simply give the enemy his wish, the reason why he ordered all the heavy cavalry to take off the heavy equipment was nothing more than that he didn't want to fight hard, so as not to damage his precious troops.

Therefore, without hesitation, he immediately turned around and ran, one of the few motley cavalry, led by 20,000 infantry in pursuit, and the other was only lightly armed with bows and arrows.

Not to mention the speed advantage of the first-level biochemical war horse, relying on the above points alone, the latter is also destined to make this crazy pursuit Tulao.

Sure enough, as the Yu army pursued, Zhao Mu beckoned all the soldiers to stop while running, and bent their bows to shoot behind while running.

Because he was equipped with a saddle, he could immediately shoot back at such a combat skill that could only be performed by non-nomadic herdsmen, and everyone in Zhao Mu's heavy cavalry could do it skillfully and accurately.

Just chased out more than ten miles, and the cavalry in front of the other party was shot to death by Zhao Mu's cavalry.

There were originally more than a thousand miscellaneous cavalry troops, but in the blink of an eye, there were only three or two hundred scattered scattered.

So, the other party, Mingjin, withdrew his troops and quit.

But who is Zhao Mu, if you don't want to do it, you won't do it?

What a naivety!

Then, Zhao Muzhe fled like this at night, and attacked the Yu army camp many times at night, and when the sky was bright, all the soldiers of the Yu army found that after a nightmare, their army of more than 50,000 people, more than 10,000 people died in one night, and more than 10,000 people were burned and lost their combat strength, and the number of troops left who really still had combat power was less than 30,000.

Therefore, the Yuzhou army, which was originally full of confidence and entered Pengcheng with absolute strength, was demoralized at this time.

But God still seems to think that the current situation of the Yuzhou army is not miserable enough, and when it comes to cooking at noon, all the soldiers have to accept the reality that they are out of food.

Why?

Because all the grain transport troops in the rear had been attacked by Zhao Mu, a cavalry from nowhere, for a while, the entire Yuzhou military camp was filled with endless despair.

They could only be trapped in a camp full of horse rejection arrays and various traps, with a Pengcheng of nearly 20,000 enemy defenders in front of them, and this fierce tiger led by Zhao Muqin in the back.

Advance can't go, retreat can only be slowly eaten, advance and retreat, stay in the camp and have no food, despair, incomparable despair spread to the entire Yu army.

After a day of hunger and cold, finally, the general of Yuzhou couldn't help but send an envoy over, but soon, the envoy from Yuzhou got the non-negotiable choice given by Zhao Mu;

Either all the Yuzhou troops died here, or all surrendered, and sent people back to Yuzhou to inform the Yuzhou assassin Shi Kongling, so that he could send people over again to ransom all the prisoners, and compensate Xuzhou with a large amount of war reparations and materials. (To be continued.) )
