In war, the use of spies is directly related to success or failure.

Especially fighting in enemy countries.

A large area of spies serves as tentacles and eyes and ears to listen to each other's reality and reality. Therefore, when the general marches, he must first send spies.

However, Li Dian's spies were intercepted and killed, and did not have the effect of warning. It wasn't until Zhao Yun's cavalry was nearly ten miles away from Cao's side that Cao's spies discovered Zhao Yun's cavalry again.

"Wolf smoke."

When a spy travels, he must carry something that can emit black smoke. Cao Jun's pair of spies did not see Zhao Yun's cavalry first, but felt the vibration of the ground, and some cavalry killed.

Suddenly the color changed, and then under the leadership of the chief. The spies hurriedly set off wolf smoke, and then each mounted his horse and headed in the direction of Cao's army.

Not long after, Zhao Yun and the others cavalry arrived. There were four or five thousand horses in total, more than two thousand soldiers, and all the horses were full of hay, alcohol, and other things.

Zhao Yun took the lead, of course he saw the burning wolf smoke, but he didn't make any moves.

If you can easily kill in front of Li Dian's army, the other party is caught off guard. Then the other party is not Li Dian.

But it's enough. The distance of ten miles is fleeting, and it is impossible for Li Dian's army not to be flustered at all.

"Kill !!" Zhao Yun put the spear across his back, roared angrily, stepped on the stirrups, and rushed straight forward.

The cavalry followed him, and the sound of iron hooves was like a war drum. The soldiers began to pick up their bows and prepare to shoot.

............

Cao Jun's grain transport team. Since Li Dian sent a large number of spies to be arranged around as eyes and ears, naturally there were people who watched the movement from time to time.

When the wolf smoke in the east rose, Cao Jun was warned.

"There is wolf smoke in the east, and there is wolf smoke in the east." Sergeant Cao shouted. Cao Jun was immediately flustered, but then the soldiers calmed down.

The 10,000 soldiers commanded by Li Dian were very elite, but Minzhuang was a little flustered. And the mules and horses pulling the cart were also neighing and alarmed.

Cao Jun had 1,000 carts, two of which were running side by side, a total of 500 columns, and the distance between the front and back stretched for about two or three miles, and it was impossible for such a long team to be assembled immediately.

And as the wolf smoke flew up, among the Cao army, there were also spiritual people lying on the ground, judging that the opponent's cavalry was only seven or eight miles away.

It's ready to be killed in a flash.

Li Dian frowned, this was an accident. Who told the spies on both sides to meet suddenly, and Zhao Yun's spies intercepted and killed all Li Dian's spies.

made the news lag, otherwise Li Dian would have had time to arrange it calmly.

"Divide the army into three teams. Place the baggage carts on the perimeter and act as a defense, and the crossbow arrows, archers, and pikemen are lined up. Li Dian ordered loudly.

"No."

So Cao's army was suddenly divided into three parts, assembled nearby, the people were strong, and the soldiers pushed the grain carts to the periphery, ready to resist. However, the actual operation and command are far from the same.

In a sudden encounter, anything can happen.

Cao's 10,000 soldiers were naturally elite, but the people were in a panic, and their panic caused many mules and horses to be alarmed, resulting in the cart not being fully assembled.

"The army is assembled, and the food is left alone." Li Dian saw that the grain cart could not be assembled, and some mules and horses were even frightened and galloped with the grain cart.

Immediately knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked the soldiers to assemble first. First protect the soldiers, then protect the grain. Such a sudden encounter, if the soldiers could not be assembled into a formation, it was really possible to be wiped out by the opposing cavalry one by one.

So with Li Dian's order, Cao's army began to assemble. But the grain carts and the people can't manage much, and they are scattered everywhere.

Only part of the grain wagons were stabilized as a defense. And when the Cao army was not fully assembled, Zhao Yun had already led the cavalry to kill.

"Divide into two teams and attack their weak points. Don't get entangled with them, burn grain carts, baggage carts, don't ask to burn all of them, just burn parts. ”

Zhao Yun ordered loudly. So the cavalry that galloped quickly divided into two teams and began to attack the Cao army, which was not fully assembled.

"Whoosh !!!"

After years of training, Zhao Yun's cavalry has become very elite. Each of them could shoot a bow on a horse, step on a stirrup with both feet, bend the bow to the sky, and a large number of arrows fell on Cao Jun like raindrops.

Where arrows are stronger than crossbow arrows, they can be shot in a parabola. And Cao Jun's crossbow arrows could only shoot a row of Zhao Yun cavalry in front.

Of course, some of the Zhao Yun cavalry were shot by arrows and fell, some were shot at their horses, and some were shot in the body. Those who were shot in the body were better, and the soldiers who were shot in the war horse had only one way to die.

The horse in front lost its front hooves, and the soldiers in the rear had no time to dodge, so they could only trample through, and being a cavalry was so cruel.

Cao's army was not fully assembled, and Zhao Yun had the advantage of troops. Zhao Yun's two teams of cavalry specifically attacked and killed the weak points of Cao's army, and they attacked and killed again.

Zhao Yun took the lead, and the spear in his hand seemed to have eyes, stabbing to death the Cao soldiers who dared to resist, after the nearby Cao army attacked and killed them.

Zhao Yun put down the spear, bent the bow and shot it, the bowstring shocked, and a Cao sergeant must die. Then Zhao Yun's cavalry began to divide into two parts.

A bow is bent to defend and fire at the opposing crossbowmen. Cao's army was still not fully assembled and scattered everywhere, although Zhao Yun's cavalry was few, they were all archers, and they suppressed the other party in an instant.

The other cavalry immediately turned on his horse, piled hay on top of the cart, poured alcohol on it, and burned the cart after cart with a fire.

Seeing the fire burning, Zhao Yun didn't stay. "Withdraw troops." Zhao Yun said that the bow was put back on the horse, holding a spear, leading the cavalry on how to come and how to go, and disappeared into the east in the blink of an eye.

And Sergeant Cao didn't dare to fight back at all, because before leaving, Zhao Yun's cavalry turned around and fired arrows, shooting at Sergeant Cao scattered everywhere, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

The grain cart was burned again, the smoke was billowing out, and the smoke also blocked the view, and it was really difficult for Sergeant Cao to fight back.

Li Dian did not order the pursuit, and even the Yong generals would not pursue the cavalry with foot soldiers. Li Dian just sighed, ordered the soldiers, and Minzhuang began to extinguish the fire.

This fire is not easy to extinguish, alcohol is burning, and there is a large amount of hay to burn, and besides, Cao Jun has no water to extinguish the fire, and all the lit grain carts must be gone.

Li Dian counted the grain wagons, and eighty-nine of the five hundred grain wagons were lost. The loss of more than 100 baggage vehicles was not much, after all, the Cao army had 10,000 soldiers and a lot of crossbowmen.

Zhao Yun did not dare to attack the heavily garrisoned vehicles of the Cao army, and only dared to attack the weak places. Cao Jun, the people were killed and wounded, and Zhao Yun's cavalry also left a lot of corpses.

It was a small battle, but it had far-reaching consequences. The grain transportation route of Cao's army from Wancheng to Fancheng was at risk of being attacked.

It was not early today, and Li Dian didn't dare to hurry again. found a flat land to set up camp, and then sent the news to the south to tell Cao Cao to know.

After the encampment was completed, Li Dian ordered the soldiers to strengthen their guard against the opposing cavalry.

But tonight Zhao Yun came again.

But he said that today's weather is not beautiful, and the sky is dark. Cao's army set up camp, and the camp was divided into four parts to form a company camp.

There were many soldiers standing guard on the camp wall, and at intervals there was an arrow tower, and grease lamps were burned on the camp wall to illuminate an area.

Cao Jun's defense can be said to be strict.

But it was such a well-guarded Cao soldier, and Zhao Yun came again. I saw that in the darkness, Zhao Yun and the others led the horses, quietly and silently, and stayed close to the front.

Zhao Yun took the lead in killing, first shooting the opponent's arrow tower and the soldiers standing guard on the wall. Then he didn't enter the camp, but just ordered the soldiers to release rockets towards Cao Ying.

The ignited rocket pierced the sky and shot into the Cao camp, setting fire to a small part of the Cao army's tent, and the Cao army's casualties were not large, but they were alarmed for a while.

After Cao's army was alarmed, Zhao Yun ordered a retreat, and the cavalry turned on their horses and fled into the distance.

Cao Jun placed the military rations in the center of the barracks, so Zhao Yun's raid this time was just to burn some tents.

After Li Dian woke up, he ordered an inventory. The loss of a dozen tents, the death and wounding of a dozen soldiers, a small loss, but really disgusting.

"You can't let Zhao Yun's cavalry be so vertical, you need to send cavalry over to protect the grain route and besiege Zhao Yun." Li Dian also knew that there was a general Zhao Yun in Xinye, who was a cavalry general of the Guan family.

And since Zhao Yun retreated, there was no way, it was too stupid for the infantry army to chase after him. But Li Dian knew that he might not be calm tonight.

Sure enough, when Li Dian went back to the big tent and slept for less than an hour, Zhao Yun's army arrived again, last time in the east, and this time in the north.

The same trick is not to attack the Cao army's camp, but to send archers to shoot rockets outside the camp. The entire Cao camp was alarmed again.

After doing this again and again, Cao Jun was already very tired after dawn.

Li Dian didn't dare to leave at all, if he escorted the grain with such a tired army, it would be better to say that the grain was lost, these 10,000 soldiers, thousands of people, I am afraid that they will be swallowed by Zhao Yun in one bite.

When Li Dian got up early in the morning, he gave an order first. The soldiers were ordered to expand the camp and make room for no tents.

lest Zhao Yun attack night and night and lose the tent.

After giving this order, Li Dian went back to the big tent of the Chinese army and wrote hard. Write a letter to Cao Chun in the south, asking Cao Chun to send five thousand light horsemen to help escort the grain.

To deal with cavalry, you need cavalry.

But after the letters, and then Cao Chun sent 5,000 cavalry to help, two or three days passed. And Zhao Yun was not stupid, knowing that Li Dian was protected by cavalry, he no longer fought Li Dian's idea.

In this way, it increased the labor cost of Cao Jun's escort of grain. Zhao Yun's cavalry attacked Cao's grain route in this way.

Even if the other party has cavalry protection, Zhao Yun also has the ability to disturb the other party. The cavalry dispatched on a large scale and suddenly killed Cao's army.

Is the other party alarmed or not? Defend or not?

Is the opposing cavalry going to fight?
