"To annihilate this cavalry, we must first choose a favorable terrain for ambush! Moreover, they were in a hurry to rush to Qin County, and they would definitely not carefully investigate whether there was an ambush on the road! Xiao Yao analyzed.

"You're saying we're going to set up an ambush and ambush this cavalry?" Cheng Wenji asked.

"It's you who want to ambush, not me! I'm going to stand up to them head-on! Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"You want to stop this cavalry from the front? Don't be whimsical! Didn't you just say that the 1,000 men and horses of your infantry battalion can't withstand the onslaught of these 5,000 cavalry! Xiao Shilian said in annoyance?

"Big brother, listen to me first, I didn't say that only a thousand soldiers of the infantry battalion can defeat this cavalry, I just said that I can scatter them! But to encircle and annihilate them, and to pursue them, of course, it is necessary to rely on the cooperation of other brothers in the forward battalion! Xiao Yao explained.

"You mean you want to use the same tactics as when you crossed the river, where your infantry battalion would first disperse this cavalry with firearms, and then our cavalry would surround them?" Cheng Wenji understood at once.

"That's right! They didn't know how powerful the firearms were in the infantry battalion, and with only a thousand infantry in my way, they would definitely not hesitate to rush into our ambush! When the time comes, I'll attack them with artillery! Even if you can't wipe them all out, you can definitely scare them into running away! When the time comes, their attack formation will be in disarray, and if you rush out to encircle and annihilate them, we will definitely win a big victory! Xiao Yao said confidently.

"Good! Shiro's plan is very good, simple and straightforward! And we've seen the power of your firearms, and I believe in you! Just do as you say! Now let's pick a location for the ambush! When the time comes, the other officers and men of the Forward Battalion will fully cooperate with your infantry battalion! Cheng Wenji said.

。。。。。。

On a road leading from Xuyi to Qin County, the eldest grandson Hongluo was leading 3,000 cavalry to Qin County, when a scout who was exploring the road in front came back and reported: "Tell the general, there is a forest on the side of the road ahead, and Chen Jun has been found ambushing there!" ”

"Is there Chen Jun? Hmph, a group of rats, they don't dare to fight our Daqi soldiers head-on, they will only hide in the woods and ambush! Eldest Sun Hong said with a little disdain.

"General, they are not in ambush in the woods, but in the middle of the road outside the woods! And we can all see their formations clearly! There are only a few hundred people! The scout corrected.

"Bastard! Outside the woods, in the middle of the road? Is that still called an ambush? And there are only a few hundred people, so it should just be a checkpoint set up by Chen Jun on the road, right? You just said that there was an ambush by Chen Jun, and it scared me! Eldest Sun Hong whipped the scout with a whip and scolded.

"Pass my orders! All the heavy armor soldiers changed into armor and then lined up to break through the level in one go! The rest of the light cavalry followed me and rushed through the woods! Don't get too entangled with them, our task is to reinforce Qin County as soon as possible, and we can't waste time on these miscellaneous soldiers! Eldest Sun Hongluo ordered.

Cheng Wenji is right, most of the 3,000 cavalry led by the eldest grandson Hongluo are light cavalry, among which the heavy cavalry of Megatron is only 300 people.

However, when these three hundred heavy cavalry, even men and horses, are all dressed in armor, holding a long lance of more than three meters, and then dozens of horses are connected into a horizontal formation, rushing over like a horse wall, the power is not a joke!

And on the battlefield, if only the infantry with broadswords and spears is impossible to resist the attack of this kind of heavy cavalry, not to mention that there are dozens of such indestructible horse walls, surrounded from all sides, and the sense of oppression is even more desperate! This is the reason why Bai Baoxian is so powerful that it is the world, and it is also the reason why Gao Changgong was able to break through the encirclement of tens of thousands of Zhou troops with only 500 cavalry!

But now these 300 heavy cavalry are not facing ordinary infantry with spears and broadswords, but artillery with invincible artillery, and what awaits them will be a brutal and desperate shelling!

Xiao Yao deliberately chose this special section of the road leading to Qin County to block the attack, because on this main road, there are dense woods on one side, which is convenient for the people of the forward battalion to ambush; On one side is a small river full of silt, on which it is difficult for men and horses to walk, let alone run; But the road in the middle is fifty or sixty meters wide!

For this blocking point, Cheng Wenji refused at first, because this road is too wide, and several horizontal teams of heavy cavalry can rush over at the same time, and when the time comes, the defenders can deal with one and can't deal with two, and they will definitely be in a hurry, if they are accidentally broken through the defense line by the other party, then this cavalry can drive straight into Qin County for a long time!

But Xiao Yao insisted on choosing this place, because his purpose was to let these heavy cavalry form a horizontal formation, so that his artillery could attack them with the greatest effect.

。。。。。。

The dust rolled and covered the sky, and the cavalry unit of the eldest grandson Hongluo finally appeared in Xiao Yao's line of sight, stopping less than a kilometer away.

"This is what kind of bullshit defenders of Chen Jun, who actually set up these sparse checkpoints outside the woods! A small team of only a few hundred people is guarding the woods, and they want to stop us with these few wooden fences? I thought they would put up some kind of spear formation, and they would need to send out heavy cavalry to break through! With this kind of chaotic level, I can break them up with a few cavalry! But anyway, if we want to rush to Qin County, let the heavy armored cavalry scatter them in one go and save time! Changsun Hong was a little disappointed and said with a little disdain.

In the middle of the main road, stationed in Xiao Yao's infantry battalion two companies, in an arc of attack formation, of which the artillery of the second company is divided into three small detachments, each detachment is equipped with three large-caliber sub-mother guns and several small-caliber sub-mother cannons, scattered dozens of meters apart, the middle of the three artillery detachments is also covered with various wooden barriers to resist horses, and behind there are hundreds of musket infantry of a company holding spears and broadswords, thick shields and muskets, which can not only guard the artillery, but also attack at any time.

On the side of the Qi army, the heavy cavalry that had completed the formation was divided into a dozen horizontal formations, and then three or four horizontal formations formed a phalanx, ready to attack the infantry battalion guarding the entrance of the woods from the front.

"The heavy cavalry raises their lances and prepares to attack, and the light cavalry is waiting for my command to attack! Heroic Great Qi soldiers, we will rush over in one breath and rush to Qin County! There is no living mouth here! Heavy cavalry, charge! The eldest grandson Hong waved the flag and shouted loudly.

I saw three heavy cavalry phalanxes, raising a three-meter long lance, and rushed towards the infantry battalion with murderous spirit, because even the men and horses were covered with thick iron armor, so the speed of these horse formations was not like the light cavalry coming and going like the wind, but relative to the infantry, this speed is also a very deadly speed, a distance of one kilometer, you can rush over within a minute, and you can't stop it when the time comes, you can't run and win, you can only wait to be killed!

"All ready! Ready to fire! Seeing the opponent's heavy cavalry attacking, Xiao Yao also raised the yellow order flag and shouted.

Just after the heavy cavalry rushed out, Changsun Hongluo saw that Chen Jun who was guarding the middle of the road was not scared away, and was still standing there waiting for him, and he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart: Why are they so calm? You must know that in the face of the impact of these hundreds of heavily armored cavalry, let alone a thousand, even the infantry phalanx of tens of thousands of people will be frightened and flee! Could it be that this group of Chen Jun guarding the middle of the road is just a bait, and the woods next to them are the real ambush?

As soon as this idea appeared, Changsun Hongluo sneered, comforted himself and said, "Hmph, what if there is an ambush?" We have 3,000 cavalry, and even if you ambush 10,000 in the woods, we can rush through, and no one can stop us! ”

After saying that, Changsun Hongluo led the remaining light cavalry, followed by the heavy armored cavalry, and also rushed out, because he had to hurry to Qin County, and he had been fighting for many years, and he had never seen an infantry that could stop thousands of cavalry!

In fact, Changsun Hongluo really guessed correctly, Cheng Wenji led the thousands of soldiers of the forward battalion, and they were really hiding in the woods, but they were not ambushing the other party, but waiting for Xiao Yao's signal, and after this group of cavalry was dispersed by Xiao Yao, they rushed out and attacked them from the flank!
