Chapter 1526: Ambush

According to the situation reported by the front, Chen Xiaoguang summoned his subordinates and the accompanying senators to discuss it. In the end, everyone agreed that this large group of people coming from the direction of Qingcheng Mountain should be intercepted.

According to the military order issued by Li Yong, the commander of the cavalry army, Chen Xiaoguang's combat mission was to block the connection between Chengdu and its western region.

"Li Chong, you are responsible for cutting off the back road of those people, if there is a person or a horse that escapes, you are the only one who asks."

"Whoa."

"Liu Sanxi, you are in charge of the left wing of that group of people, you just need to monitor it closely."

"Whoa."

"Wang Sheng, you are in charge of the right wing of that group of people, well, this small mountain bag must be firmly controlled in your hands."

"Whoa."

Chen Xiaoguang compared the combat plan drawn up by the senators and gave combat orders to his subordinates in turn.

"Alright, let's go and get ready." Seeing that his subordinates had no objections, Chen Xiaoguang waved his hand and drove them all back to their respective units.

"Blow the trumpet, assemble urgently!"

......Accompanied by the sound of loud military bugles, more than 500 cavalry soldiers quickly mounted their horses and in a very short period of time, they put on a formation that could attack at any time.

Surprisingly, in the assembled procession, three six-pounder guns dragged by pack horses appeared.

The military order has been issued, and several cavalrymen are at the head, leading their own men and horses, and they start to move separately.

When everyone was gone, Chen Xiaoguang led more than 200 cavalry soldiers to meet Min Zihao and his party in the direction where they came.

Due to the time relationship, the people in charge of outflanking were not all in place, Chen Xiaoguang consciously controlled the war horse under his crotch, and slowly approached Min Zihao and them.

Unlike the infantry army, cavalry combat, for the calculation of the physical strength of the war horse, must have a clear understanding.

War horses gallop all the way for hundreds of kilometers, and they can also charge into battle, this kind of nonsense can only appear in it.

In real cavalry combat, the more you are facing the enemy, the more you must cherish your horsepower, not only to feed grass, but also to feed small black beans.

Otherwise, when it's time to charge, the horse's legs are weak, and it won't be able to rush at all, which will be terrible!

In the carriage, Min Zihao's persuasion work is still ongoing. It's just that although Zhang Xuexian is no longer noisy, he has never given any positive response.

Min Zihao knew in his heart that if Zhang Xuexian had been unwilling to cooperate, then, even at the risk of Mrs. Zhao's anger, he would strangle her to death even if he pinched her.

The stakes are not complicated.

On the emperor's pillow, someone blows crooked wind every day, just ask, which courtier can stand it?

Zhao Twenty-eight was originally a confidant of the Zhao family, and in order to do some shady things for Mrs. Zhao, he once pretended to be a thief for a long time.

The first priority of being a bandit is not to rob and kidnap tickets, but to have a keen sense of smell.

Although the official road was as calm as water, Zhao Twenty-eight, who was galloping on a horse, still sensitively smelled the smell of danger.

"Stop, stop!" Zhao Twenty-eight fiercely stopped the Shu horse under his crotch, raised his right hand high, and stopped everyone very loudly.

After everyone stopped the horses, Zhao Twenty-eight narrowed his eyes and looked around vigilantly.

The position they were in now was an open field, and in the distance to the left of Zhao Twenty-eight, there was a small hill, and on his right hand was a small forest.

Intuition told Zhao Twenty-eight that there was a huge risk hidden here, but the terrain told him that it was not suitable to set up an ambush here.

Just when Zhao Twenty-eight was a little hesitant, Chen Xiaoguang slowly stuffed the monocular into his skin bag and ordered lightly: "If they find out, it's okay, let's catch up." ”

Led by Chen Xiaoguang, more than 200 elite cavalry soldiers slowly urged the war horses under their hips, set up an offensive arrow formation, and pressed towards Zhao Twenty-eighth's side.

At first, Zhao Twenty-eight was a little confused, why was the earth trembling?

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Twenty-eight saw clearly, and at the end of the official road, a huge amount of smoke and dust was raised.

"It's not good, enemy attack, enemy attack, draw your sword, quickly draw your knife, prepare to cut people!" Zhao Twenty-eight's face changed greatly, even if he was stupid, he knew that it was a large force of cavalry rushing over on the opposite side.

Chen Xiaoguang was a very experienced cavalry officer, and the charge of the war horse could not be exhausted at the beginning, but from jogging to trotting, and then accelerating from mid-run to wild running.

The most elaborate tactics for the cavalry attack are, first, to maintain the speed of the impact, and second, to keep the charging formation out of order.

At the end of the official road, the billowing smoke and dust became bigger and bigger, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves was like thunder, knocking on Zhao Twenty-eight's heart.

Zhao Twenty-eight regretted it a lot, this time he brought people out on an errand, the purpose was to capture the real people of Snow Mountain alive, but he forgot to bring more archers out.

However, due to the limitations of the terrain of the Shu Plain, in Zhao Twenty-eight's limited combat experience, how to confront the impact of a large force of cavalry head-on is completely blank.

On the Great Plains, if you want to resist the charge of a large cavalry force, it is actually impossible to rely on the long-range strike of a bow and crossbow alone.

In addition to the necessary bows and crossbows, it was necessary to erect horse-repelling stakes, dig deep ditches for rejecting horses, and build out the breastwork of rejecting horses.

However, apart from more than thirty archers and waist knives, Zhao Twenty-eight had nothing.

"My mother, it's actually the cavalry of the Northern Army......" There was a sharp-eyed guy who saw the bright red flag of the Han army from a long distance, and he couldn't help screaming.

Zhao Twenty-eight suddenly changed color, he never dreamed that the cavalry of the Han army would appear in the hinterland of Chengdu.

Min Zihao in the carriage thought at first that he had met a gang of bandits who robbed the road, and he didn't take it too seriously. Unexpectedly, it was the Han army that arrived, Min Zihao was suddenly flustered, his mind was a mess, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.

"Run, if you don't run, it'll be too late." One of the cowards shouted.

Zhao Twenty-eight knew that the situation was critical, and almost subconsciously shouted loudly: "You can't run, whoever runs will die." ”

He is actually blind, lest his subordinates turn around and run, but mess up his own position. But he didn't expect that he would be right.

The enemy hugged his head and scurried, turning his back towards the horse's head, this is the most comfortable way to cut people for the cavalry brothers, there is no one.

Originally, according to Min Zihao's plan, after capturing Zhang Xuexian, he would first bring him back to Zhao's mansion, and Mrs. Zhao would decide when to dedicate Zhang Xuexian to Li Zhongyi depending on the situation and timing?

After all, gift-giving is actually a very deep science, the distance of the relationship, the weight of the gift, and when to give the gift, are quite particular and doorways.

However, the plan did not change quickly, and the Han army came too quickly, which completely disrupted Min Zihao's wishful thinking.

"Oh, no, there are enemies behind you."

"Ah, there are enemies over there......"

"Mother, there are enemies here...... too"

"Enemies everywhere ......"

With the bad news coming one after another, Zhao Twenty-eight understood it thoroughly. The cavalry of the Han army had already prepared to ambush them, and there were large forces of cavalry of the Han army in front and behind, and even if they wanted to leave, they could not get out.

"Daguan, it's the cavalry of the Han army who came, to fight, or not to fight?" Zhao Twenty-eight played the role of a thief, he was already weak-hearted, and he was going to slip away, but he wanted to buckle the basin on Min Zihao's head.

What a shrewd figure Min Zihao is, how could he fall for the evil of a thief like Zhao Twenty-eight?

"Whether you fight or not, how you fight, it's up to you. I only have one request, I must keep her safe. Min Zihao pointed to Zhang Xuexian, who had been lying on the floor of the carriage.

Zhao Twenty-eight secretly scolded Min Zihao for being treacherous, but he was helpless. The old lady just ordered him to listen to Min Zihao's arrangement and go to catch the real person in the snow mountain, but he didn't say that he asked Min Zihao to command the battle.

What's more, Min Zihao is the old lady's most trusted protégé, and his status is quite high, and he can't be provoked at all as Zhao Twenty-eight.

Beat? It's impossible to fight, never to fight!

Although Zhao Twenty-eight has no culture and has been playing a thief for a long time, it does not mean that he is a fool and a fool.

Surrounded by an endless plain, the number of cavalry of the Han army is at least nearly a thousand, how to fight? And how to run?

What's more, Zhao Twenty-eight knew very well in his heart that the old lady ordered him to obey Min Zihao's orders and go to catch the real person in the Snow Mountain, which was to dedicate her to the emperor in the north.

As long as the fight starts, there will definitely be deaths, and at that time, Liang Zike will be bigger!

However, Zhao Twenty-eight was unwilling to surrender directly. If he really did that, what kind of face did he have to continue to stay under Old Lady Zhao's errand?

Just when Zhao Twenty-eight was hesitating, Chen Xiaoguang led more than two hundred cavalry soldiers and stopped about two miles away.

The cavalry attack requires high speed, and high speed is inseparable from the distance of acceleration.

The War Horse is neither a machine nor a rocket, and after running continuously for about a mile, it can reach the maximum speed of impact.

Through the monoculars, Chen Xiaoguang could see very clearly, although the other party was also riding horses, it could be seen from the sitting posture and formation that they were a group of rookies who had no experience in cavalry duels at all.

Chen Xiaoguang beckoned to one of his team leaders and whispered a whisper, and after the team was ordered, he patted his horse and rushed to Zhao Twenty-eight.

Zhao Twenty-eight also saw the figure of the team riding alone, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly speculated, isn't it that the old lady and the other party have already been in contact with each other in private?

When they were about a stone's throw away, the team stopped their horses and shouted: "Listen, my commander has an order, all dismount and surrender, but Rao Er will not die." Those who dare to resist will be killed. ”

Everyone's eyes are on Zhao Twenty-eight, whether to flee or surrender depends on his decision.

Zhao Twenty-eight turned his head to look at the carriage that Min Zihao was riding, but only saw the curtain fluttering in the wind. Obviously, Min Zihao has made up his mind and doesn't want to show up.

Min Zihao didn't say a word, but the posture he put on was actually telling Zhao Twenty-eight that he couldn't fight, so it was better to surrender.

What to do?

For a while, Zhao Twenty-eight was confused and undecided!
