At dusk, the army was forced to camp in the wilderness by the cavalry on the mountain.

In order to prevent the other side from attacking at night, not only dug a ditch around the camp, but also used the soil in the ditch to build a half-meter-high earthen wall.

Half a meter high, the war horse can easily step over it when it jumps, but it will fall right into the pit, and the horse will lose its front hooves.

Fortunately, there are many people and great strength, and such a project is nothing, the infantry and teenagers are on guard, the rear battalion sets up tents and pots for cooking, and the soldiers and engineers dig ditches and build walls, and more than 30,000 people are busy in full swing.

This is the advantage of having a strict hierarchy and strict discipline, as long as the king of Qin gives an order, everyone will perform their duties and be in order.

At night, the camp was brightly lit, and 10,000 soldiers were divided into three waves to take turns to watch the night, and the pro-guard battalion took turns to supervise.

Qin Yu didn't dare to be careless.

In the commander's tent, the faces of more than a dozen battalion commanders were very ugly, after all, more than 30,000 people were blocked here by 3,000 people, it was too aggrieved.

Although Qin Yu was not happy and annoyed in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, but stared at Qin Tie and said in a deep voice: "Why did so many cavalry attack on the other side, and the sentry didn't report the warning in advance?" ”

"Chief, none of the brothers who went to the east to investigate have returned, and now I think they should have been killed by the other party's night collection." Qin Tie replied bitterly.

"The sentinels sent out in the future should return at a specified time."

Qin Yu didn't punish too much, most of the people in the guard camp were from Orion, and they were good at drilling mountains and climbing trees, but the terrain around here was quite open, and it hadn't been long since he learned to ride a horse, where was Guanning Tieqi's night opponent?

"Brother, we are now entangled by Cao Bianjiao's Guanning Iron Cavalry, once the surnamed Hong catches up with a large army, it will be a big deal, this is only more than twenty miles away from entering the mountain, otherwise we will run to the mountain overnight, right?"

"I think it's okay, this black light is blinding, and their cavalry may not dare to catch up, and one night is enough time for us to run into the mountains."

After Niu Er finished speaking, several commanders of the war battalion nodded straightly.

"Nonsense, this running team will definitely run away, and when the time comes, when it enters the mountain, where can you find it? What's more, what if the other party kills him? ”

Seeing that they were afraid of this, and came up with such a bad idea, the red warbler immediately shouted.

"If you don't run, can't you sit still?" Niu Er didn't have a good airway, obviously he already had a shadow on Hong Chengchou and Cao Bianjiao in his heart.

It's no wonder that these old thieves are afraid of being like this, the shadow of the famous tree of people is really the anti-thief in the hands of Hong Chengchou and Cao Bianjiao who have died in the past few years, if not 100,000, but also 80,000, including a large number of heads and small heads.

It can be said that in the extermination of the rebel armies from all walks of life, Hong Chengchou's contribution is definitely the greatest, and the means are also the sharpest.

In history, if Chongzhen hadn't been confused himself, I am afraid that he would have to completely exterminate the rebels from all walks of life in the end.

"You don't have to worry, according to what Cao Cao said, Hong Chengchou has already transferred some of his soldiers and horses to Xiangyang, and those who can catch up will be killed, and there are thousands of people who can catch up, and we can't do anything about the cavalry, can't we still pack up the infantry?

If he really dares to catch up, then let's see who is the butcher, who is a pig and sheep! ”

Qin Yu waved his hand to stop everyone's quarrel, and then said slowly, when he finally stood up, his whole body exuded a monstrous domineering.

Seeing that King Hua was so confident, everyone remembered that they had won a hundred battles in the past, and they immediately felt a lot more relieved, and they didn't argue anymore to run to the mountains overnight.

Cao Bianjiao tried it at night, and saw that the opponent's defense was quite tight, so he had to give up and retreat to thirty miles away with the cavalry.

Obviously, he was also afraid of the other party's sneak attack at night, but he left the sentry agent to keep a close watch.

The next day, the army did not stay in the same place, but lined up, slowly moving to the northwest, and when they walked out of a hundred meters, they had to stop and adjust.

As a result, at the end of the day, he didn't even walk five miles, and Cao Bianjiao would take the cavalry to come up and bite two bites from time to time, so angry that all the heroes scolded one after another.

Qin Yu secretly gritted his teeth, in the future, he must vigorously develop cavalry, otherwise in the future, no matter how powerful the Tartars, infantry and firearms are, if they don't take the initiative to attack, you can't do anything.

Looking at the cavalry galloping back and forth, he found himself once again underestimating the role of cavalry in ancient times.

Its importance, not only will not be worse than firearms, but more important, an army can still be invincible in the field without firearms, but it must not lack cavalry.

Cao Bianjiao saw that the other party's more than 30,000 people and horses were always in a group, and he was helpless, so he had to constantly send people to inform Hong Chengchou.

And after Hong Chengchou learned that Cao Bianjiao had really dragged the thief on the other side of the Han River, he was immediately overjoyed, and he also kept urging the army of Zhushan.

As a result, on the third day, he crossed the Han River with an army of 7,000 and rushed to kill in a hurry.

"Change Jiao, this time you have made a miraculous achievement, and after the elimination of that Xiaohua queen, this governor will definitely play the saint to ask for merit for you!"

As soon as they met, Hong Chengchou said with a little excitement.

"Thank you, Overseer!"

Cao Bianjiao first hugged his fists, then looked at the soldiers and horses behind him, and said with a somewhat solemn face: "Supervisor, it is said that this group of thieves is also a real evil sect, not only well-trained, well-equipped, and well-founded, at the end of the two days, there are at least 20,000 soldiers who can fight, half of which are elite and firearms soldiers." ”

"Oh?"

Hong Chengchou was slightly stunned, he couldn't be more clear about Cao Bianjiao's temperament, it was definitely not afraid of heaven and earth, and he dared to take the role of a general among the ten thousand troops, and now if he said this kind of thing, he must not have gotten a bargain in the past two days.

Originally, he attached great importance to this anti-thief, but at this moment, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and he started to work hard.

When Cao Bianjiao took Hong Chengchou to the hill and looked at the army in the wilderness in the distance, Hong Laogou's face instantly became solemn.

As the so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, just at a glance, the old dog knows that even if he adds three thousand Guan Ning iron horses, he wants to take down the other party with the seven thousand soldiers and horses he brought, and he is afraid that it will be a little difficult.

"My lord, it is better to let Cao Zongbing lead the cavalry to continue to contain the thief army, our army will take a detour to the mountain pass to fortify, block the road of the thief army into the mountain, and lead the left general army to arrive, and encircle the other party and annihilate it in one fell swoop."

Qian Gao, the staff member on the side, was also secretly talking, and he also saw that the supervisor was afraid that he was not sure about fighting with the other party, so he thought about it and said.

Hong Chengchou held his hands behind his back, and his head shook like a rattle: "It's not proper, the mountain pass is several miles wide, and the thief army is good at climbing mountains and drilling forests. ”

Once you detour to the mountain pass to defend, it seems to have an advantage, but in fact it suffers, because the mountain pass is too wide, and there is not much difference between haste and field battle, and it will greatly reduce the role that cavalry can play.

The other side is equipped with a large number of bows and arrows and firearms, once the 7,000 people do not hold it, they will be killed and lose their armor, the whole army will be defeated, and the cavalry will not be able to rescue them.

And in the field here, there are 3,000 Guan Ning iron cavalry in his hands, even if he can't win, he can be invincible.

Qian Gao thought about it for a while, and also understood that in order to take care of the reputation of the first generation, the Governor would rather fight a field battle with the thief army, and would never go to the mountain pass to take risks.
